POPPY DRIVE
Mayor Keighran reviewed the process of the hearing stating that the appellant (Chip and Shirin Coleman)
and the applicant (Peter Kelly) would each get 10 minutes to state their position, the matter would then be
opened to the public, followed by 3 minute rebuttals from both the appellant and the applicant.
Mayor Keighran asked the Council to report any ex-parte communication. Councilmember Beach stated that
she talked to both the appellant and the applicant, visited the site and talked to some of the neighbors. Vice
Mayor Ortiz and Councilmember Brownrigg visited the site. Mayor Keighran and Councilmember Colson
stated that they visited the site and talked to the appellant and applicant.
City Arborist Bob Disco reviewed the staff report explaining the history of the appeal. He stated that the tree
in question is a 70 year old redwood tree with multiple codominant leaders. He explained that the applicant
requested a permit to remove the tree and that he asked the applicant to obtain a report on the tree from an
independent arborist. The independent report stated that the tree was too large for the small backyard and
that the tree's roots were causing damage to the applicant's garage. Moreover, the report stated that only by
removing the tree would all hazards and liabilities associated with the tree be eliminated.
City Arborist Bob Disco explained that he visited and assessed the tree to see if there were other options
including: requiring the homeowners to properly maintain the tree, topping, and removal of one of the
leaders. However, he stated that these measures would not solve the problem because of the size of the tree
in relation to the size of the backyard and the proximity of the neighbors. Accordingly, based on the
structure of the tree, the multiple codominant leaders, included bark, damage to the garage foundation and
because the tree met the requirements for removal per Chapter 1i.06.060d(1X2X7) of the Municipal Code,
the City Arborist approved removal.
Councilmember Colson asked how much time the homeowner is given to replace a tree. City Arborist
responded that usually an individual is given 6 months. He further explained that for this redwood tree he
required the applicant to plant two 24 inch-box oak trees.
Councilmember Brownrigg voiced his concern that approving the removal of the redwood tree would open
the door to future removals. Accordingly, he asked if codominant leaders are a nornal growth pattern for
redwood trees, what made this situation different as to demand the removal of the tree. The City Arborist
stated that the difference was that this redwood tree was located in an area where there was no room for it to
safely grow. Councilmember Brownrigg asked about the City's liability when labeling a tree on private
property unsafe. City Attorney Kane stated that the risk of loss is born by the homeowner.

Meet,ing Date I L/L9 /16
The appellant, Chip Coleman spoke first. Mr. Coleman stated that at the Beautification Commission hearing
the decision to remove the tree was a close vote, 3-2. He stated that from this hearing arose a lot of issues
that still need to be evaluated and discussed prior to removing the redwood tree. He explained that he was
concerned that the City may base its decision to approve the removal of the tree on liability rather than the
enjoyment of the neighborhood. Mr. Coleman asked that the City research the health of the tree prior to
approving the tree's removal. He explained that within a 6 block radius of the redwood tree, there were 28
other redwood trees with 1/3 having multiple codominant leaders. He stated that this was a natural growth
pattem for redwood trees. Accordingly, he was concerned that if the Council approved the removal of this
redwood tree it would set a precedent for the removal of all other redwood trees. He stated that the City
should look at other viable options to prevent the removal of the tree. He asked about raising the floor of the
garage or moving it 10 feet closer to the street in order to save the redwood tree. Furthermore, he discussed
the decision of Council regarding other redwood trees in the neighborhood and the measures the Council
previously enacted to save redwood trees, specifically Drake Avenue. In closing, Mr. Coleman asked the
Council to: (1) require real estate tree disclosures; (2) keep analytics of tree removals in the City; and (3)
research other methods besides removal to protect trees that are in densely populated areas.
The applicant, Peter Kelly, spoke about why he requested the removal permit. Mr. Kelly explained that the
tree was causing a significant amount of issues and damage to his property. He added that the remodel that
the Planning Commission approved for his house was minor and therefore because he was upholding the
integrity of the house there was no room to work around the tree. He explained that a structural engineer
assessed the tree and stated that the cost of fixing the damage the tree caused the garage was $30,000.
Moreover, the structural engineer stated that the $30,000 would not be a one-time cost. Instead, he informed
Mr. Kelly that he would need to make repairs regularly and that at some point the garage floor would
become unrepairable. Mr. Kelly stated that both the City Arborist and the independent arborist found that
there was a safety issue. Mr. Kelly explained that the safety issue was not just a concern for him but because
he lived in such a dense neighborhood, the tree's safety was an issue for his neighbors. Therefore, he stated
that his close neighbors supported the tree's removal.
Mayor Keighran asked CDD Meeker what the scale of the remodel was on Mr. Kelly's house. CDD Meeker
stated that it was minor modifications inside the envelope of the structure with none of it trigging the City's
design review process. Mayor Keighran asked about the grove of redwood trees on Drake Avenue. CDD
Meeker stated that the Drave Avenue project involved new construction and therefore the City was able to
require the contractors to work around the redwood trees. However, because Mr. Kelly only requested a
minor modification to an existing structure the same requirement could not be made.
Mayor Keighran opened the public hearing for comments
Burlingame residents Brian Benn, Linda Ryan, Liz Overheul Curry spoke about the beauty of the redwood
trees and the need to look at other options to protect the tree such as topping, pruning, or moving the garage
forward. Karen Dittman, former Beautification Commissioner, spoke about why she voted against the
removal of the tree, stating that the tree was in good health. Two middle school students spoke about the
importance of protecting trees. Burlingame resident Dottie Bajnoczi spoke about how she originally wanted
her neighbor's tree removed but that she came to love the tree and is glad that it still stands.
Burlingame resident Alisa Ruiz-Johnson discussed the issues that Mr. Kelly would face if the tree was not
removed. Burlingame resident Brian Chu stated that this tree was affecting his sewer lines and that he
regularly had to pay to have the roots removed from the sewer lines.

Meeting Datez L/1-9/L6
Mayor Keighran closed the public hearing and asked the appellant and applicant to come forward with their
rebuttals. Mr. Coleman stated that the tree's health must be understood before removing the tree. Mr. Kelly
stated that this particular tree with this particular set of circumstances requires that the tree be removed.
Vice Mayor Ortiz explained that the City established a process for reviewing whether to remove trees and if
damage were the only criteria on whether a tree is removed too many trees would be cut down. However, he
stated that in this situation there is a question of safety. Accordingly, because Mr. Kelly followed the
process and because no new information arose, Vice Mayor Ortiz felt that the Beautification Commission's
decision should stand.
Councilmember Brownrigg stated that if the City removed every tree that presented a danger, too many trees
would be lost in Burlingame. Furtherrnore, Councilmember Brownrigg felt that the decision the Council had
to make was whether the City should allow large trees to grow on small lots. He went on to explain that he
has a large tree on his property and that he understands the challenges one faces with having a large tree.
Councilmember Brownrigg stated that it is important to preserve these trees. Accordingly, he stated that he
would vote to protect the tree.
Councilmember Colson discussed her desire to protect the trees in Burlingame. However, she stated that she
was overwhelmed by the size and magnitude of the multiple codominant leaders on this redwood tree.
Accordingly, because Mr. Kelly followed the process and met the necessary requirements to remove the tree
she believed the Beautification Commission's decision should be upheld.
Councilmember Beach stated that she heard that Mr. Kelly received an anonymous angry letter and that this
is not acceptable as there is a system in place by which to voice your opinion and ensure that decisions are
properly made. She stated that while she knew the tree well, it is not a tree that she would want to manage
and wondered whether others would want that responsibility. Councilmember Beach went on to discuss the
tree's cost from repairs to liabilities. Accordingly, because there was due process, Councilmember Beach
stated she would vote to uphold the Beautification Commission's decision.
Mayor Keighran stated that she was in attendance at the Beautification Commission hearing and that there
was thoughtful discussion on the matter. She stated that when she reviewed the matter she looked at the
criteria for removal: (1) condition of the tree; (2) danger of the tree falling; (3) proximity of the neighbors to
the tree; and (4) whether the tree was limiting/preventing the homeowner's economic enjoyment of the
property. Mayor Keighran compared the matter to the Drake Avenue construction. She stated that because
Drake Avenue concerned new buildings, the Council was able to require the contractors to work around the
trees. However, in this matter, where the lot is small, and the homeowner is not undertaking a major
renovation, there was no room to work around the tree. Mayor Keighran stated that because the tree was
causing damage and raised safety concerns the Beautification Commission's decision should be upheld.
Mayor Keighran asked about the size of the trees the City Arborist proposed planting in the applicant's yard
and whether or not the City should require the applicant to plant large trees. The City Arborist stated that
larger trees were an option but that he recommended the two 24 inch box landscape trees because they grow
quicker and adapt better to their surroundings.
Councilmember Brownrigg asked why the City Arborist was requiring two trees and if he was concemed
that by planting two trees the applicant might face the same issue. Mr. Disco replied that the applicant may

face the same issue but that he was recommending two oak trees to replace the large canopy of the redwood
tree. The City Arborist stated that until the tree is 48 inches in circumference, an individual does not need a
permit to cut down the tree. Therefore, if the applicant were to sell their house before the new oak trees
reached this measurement the trees could be cut down.
City Attorney Kane stated that the Council could make it a condition of the removal, that the homeowner
obtains a permit prior to cutting down the replacement trees.
Councilmember Colson asked if both trees had to be planted in the backyard. The City Arborist stated that
the ordinance doesn't require the homeowner to plant both in the backyard.
Vice Mayor Ortiz and Councilmember Beach voiced their concern that more information was needed on how
and what should replace the redwood tree.
Councilmember Brownrigg stated that the City shouldn't require the applicant to put a tree in the front yard
if the issue arose from the backyard.
Mayor Keighran stated she had concerns about how small the backyard is for two trees
City Attorney Kane explained that given the complexity of the issue it may be good to give the staff direction
on what the Council is looking for and then staff can make factual determinations and present their findings
to the Council at a later date. She stated that if Council wished to make a motion tonight they could focus on
the central question of whether or not the tree should be removed but state that the applicant cannot remove
the tree until Council authorizes a resolution that memorializes the requirements of the tree's removal.
Vice Mayor Ortiz made a motion to uphold the Beautification Commission decision but have the applicant
wait to remove the tree until Council determined the conditions; seconded by Councilmember Colson. The
motion passed by roll call vote, 4-1 (Councilmember Brownrigg voted against).
b. RESOLUTION APPR OVING AND LEVYING 2016 SAN MATEO COUNTY TOURISM

Finance Director Augustine reviewed the staff report concerning the levying of the 2016 San Mateo County
Tourism Business Improvement District Assessments on hotel businesses within the District. She explained
the background of TBID and asked the Council to hold a public hearing on the proposed assessments.
Mayor Keighran asked the City Clerk if the City received any protests. City Clerk Hassel-Shearer replied in
the negative.
Mayor Keighran opened the public hearing for comment. San Mateo County Tourism Bureau CEO Ann
LeClair thanked the City for their support. As well, she thanked Police Chief Wollman for the police's
efforts to ensure the safety of those staying at the hotels. Mayor Keighran closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Brownrigg made a motion to approve Resolution Number 4-2016; seconded by Vice Mayor
Ortiz. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.

c.ON OFAC PERMIT FOR
AUTO RENT STORAGE AND REPAIR FACILITY LOCATED AT BURLWAY
ROAD
Community Development Director Bill Meeker presented the staff report regarding Vanguard Real Estate
Holdings, LLC request for an extension of a conditional use permit ("CUP") for an auto rental, storage and
repair facility at778 Burlway Road. Q.{ote: Alamo Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental are owned by
Vanguard. Vanguard also owns Enterprise and Enterprise's Vice President Will Withington is the applicant
pursuing the CUP extension for the property. To avoid any confusion, Alamo Rent-A-Car, Enterprise and
Vanguard will all be referred to as either the applicant or Vanguard in the meeting minutes.) He stated that
for 30 years, Vanguard used this piece of property as an auto rental, storage and repair facility. The
Community Development Director reviewed the history of Vanguard's requests for CUPs: (1) City Council's
decision to uphold the Planning Commission's approval of a 2003 amendment to the CUP; (2) the Planning
Commission approving two additional, two-year CUP extensions; and (3) Vanguard's 2013 appeal of the
Planning Commission's denial of a 10 year extension which resulted in Council granting them a 2 year
extension. The Planning Commission denied the l0 year extension stating that it could deter efforts of the
applicant in selling the property and having the property developed fora use consistent with the policy
direction of the Bayfront Specific Plan.
Community Development Director Meeker stated that now Vanguard is asking for a7 year extension of the
CUP to allow San Francisco International Airport ("SFO") to complete an expanded and consolidated car
rental facility. Furthermore, Meeker explained that originally the applicant made annual payments of
$36,500 to the City. The City required the annual payment to guarantee a minimum revenue stream for the
car rental business as long as that activity occurred on the property. Now Vanguard proposes a 7 year
extension of the CUP with a one-time payment of $2.1 million to mitigate the continued operation of the
facility. The $2.1 million would be earmarked for improvements within the Bayfront Specific Plan Area.
Community Development Director Meeker asked the Council to review and provide direction on whether the
City should move forward with the proposed extension and offset payment structure. Mr. Meeker advised
the Council to consider the ongoing General Plan and Zonrng Ordinance updates. Completion of these work
tasks by the end of 2OI7 could change the land-use direction for the property at7l8 Burlway Road and
should be considered a factor in determining whether or not an extension of the CUP should be granted. He
further noted that any development proposals for the property that would follow adoption of the updated
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance would take anywhere from 3 to 5 years to complete the local and state
permitting processes.
Mayor Keighran asked how Vanguard and the City originally settled on $36,500 for annual payments under
the CUP. Community Development Director Meeker stated that he was not there at the time but believed it
was based on gross receipts from the auto rental business on the property. Mayor Keighran asked what uses
are permitt ed at 778 Burlway Road. Mr. Meeker responded that it is zoned for offices, hotels, destination
restaurants or retail shops to service the area. Mayor Keighran asked if a hotel was built on the property how
many rooms could the hotel have. Mr. Meeker stated that a hotel is allowed to build 65 rooms per acre,
accordingly because the property is 8.4 acres they could have over 500 rooms.
Vice Mayor Ortiz asked if there was evidence that the applicant had tried to market the property. Mr
Meeker replied that a few years ago they had submitted documents indicating their efforts.

Agenda Item 8a
Meeting Datez L/L9/L6
Will Withington, General Manager/Vice President of Enterprise, discussed why Vanguard requested an
extension. He stated that in 2013, after the Council's decision to only grant them a2 year extension on the
CUP, Vanguard started looking for other sites. Vanguard entered into two leases, one located at the Cow
Palace property and the other located on Edwards Court in Burlingame. He fuither explained that he had
worked with an architecture firm to develop plans for a 5 story parking garage on the Edwards Court
property, with an estimated cost of $25 million.
Mr. Withington continued by stating that in January, 2015, SFO announced a plan for a new consolidated
rental car facility. SFO met with Vanguard and other agencies about the facility and it became clear that
once the facility was built Vanguard would no longer need to use the Edwards Court nor the Cow Palace
properties. Accordingly, the applicant argued that while they do not want to continue operations at718
Burlway Road, it does not make financial sense to build a $25 million parking facility that will only be used
for a few years.
As a result, Mr. Withington explained that he met with City staff and the Council's Economic Subcommittee
to explain the situation and gather input. Accordingly, from these meetings, Vanguard created their proposal
of a one-time payment of $2.1 million to mitigate the extension of the CUP.
As well, Vanguard stated that during the propose d 7 year CUP extension, they would work with potential
buyers. He explained that the 7 year extension would allow a buyer to obtain all necessary permits to build
on the property prior to paying Vanguard for the property at the end of the 7 years.
Mayor Keighran asked Mr. Withington how aggressive Vanguard was with their marketing of the property.
Mr. Withington stated they had inquiries from many people and were open to all solicitations. However, he
stated that in 2012 they had an offer of about half the value of the property that they rej ected. After which
they have not received any other substantial proposals.
Councilmember Colson asked if the CUP was not renewed would Vanguard plan to build a parking garage at
Edwards Court for $25 million and use the Cow Palace property. Mr. Withington stated that originally this
was the plan. However, he explained that financially with SFO building a facility it would not make sense
for them to spend $25 million on a parking garage. Accordingly, if the CUP was not extended they would be
looking at leasing 1-2 acre properties elsewhere for the next 5-7 years. Councilmember Colson asked about
the real estate analysis that created the $2.1 million proposal and whether or not he had worked with the City
to come up with the optimal use for the property. Mr. Withington responded that he worked with his local
team to develop this number.
Doug Sullivan, Counsel for Vanguard spoke regarding the $2.1 million payment, stating that it would be
used for Bayfront improvements and that it is mitigating the delayed redevelopment of the property.
Councilmember Beach asked about the proposed $2.1 million stating that her understanding is that the fee
has to be directly related to the harm. Accordingly, she wanted to know that since there hasn't been $2.1
million worth of change in circumstances to the City, if the City needed to review the number. And as a
follow up question, Councilmember Beach asked if the City had higher standards than private corporations
conceming the correlation between mitigation and a monetary amount. City Attorney Kane responded by
stating that yes the City did need to ensure transparency and that there is more identihable criteria.
Mayor Keighran opened the public hearing for comments, no one spoke. The public hearing was closed.

Councilmember Brownrigg asked if because this is areal estate negotiation if it can be done in closed
session. City Attorney Kane replied that it cannot, because closed session for real estate pertains to when the
City is selling property. Mayor Keighran asked if the Council could develop an ad hoc committee to discuss
this matter. City Attorney Kane replied in the affirmative. Mayor Keighran stated that this would give the
staff the time and ability to do an economic analysis to understand the $2.1 million mitigation payment.
Councilmember Brownrigg stated his concem that the extension of the CUP could set a precedent with other
companies operating long-term parking lots. However, he stated that he understands that this situation is
unique because of the shorl-term need. But he wanted to make sure the City is careful to not set a precedent
to use empty lots as parking lots.
Councilmember Colson asked if the SFO facility was built in 5 years under a7 year CUP if the CUP would
continue with the property. Mr. Meeker responded it would unless it was called back to the Council for
revocation prior to expiration of the 7 year extension. Councilmember Colson then asked if there was a way
to tie the CUP to the user and not the land. Mr. Meeker said no because it was a land issue and could not be
tied to a specific operator.
City Attorney Kane stated that the Council could structure the CUP for 5 year extension with the option to
extend for another 2 years if the SFO facility is not completed'
Vice Mayor Ortiz stated that his fear is that after 7 years when Vanguard leaves that the property might stay
vacant for another 5 years. Accordingly, he wanted to ensure that the property is advertised and sold during
the extension.
Mayor Keighran agreed with Vice Mayor Ortiz. As well, she stated that the City is working on a General
Plan update that is looking at other uses for this property and others in the Bayfront that may be more
beneficial to the community. Accordingly, she thought it would be advantageous to have the ad hoc
committee to ensure that they are looking at all options.
Councilmember Brownrigg asked what the deadline was for the City to make a determination on the CUP
extension. City Attorney Kane said that there isn't a deadline to make a determination in so much as since
the applicant had applied for the extension in a timely manner (prior to the expiration of the CUP) any code
enforcement action related to the use of the property would be delayed until the Council makes a
determination.
Mayor Keighran stated that she wanted to assemble an ad hoc committee and bring this matter back within 6
months with recommendations from the staff and the committee regarding the Council's options.
Councilmember Brownrigg made a motion to form an ad hoc committee to investigate this matter and come
back to the Council with a recommendation within six months, and that during the 6 month period the
applicant would be allowed to continue with its use of the property; seconded by Vice Mayor Ortiz. The
motion was approved unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.

A. BURLINGAME SCHOOL DISTRICT DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES
The Burlingame School District Director of Facilities Tim Ryan made a presentation entitled "Hoover
Progress Update" to the Council and Board of Trustees. He discussed the timeline of BSD's decision to
reopen Hoover Elementary School. Tim Ryan stated that now that BSD received the necessary
encroachment permits, they were working with Public Works and the Traffic, Safety and Parking
Commission to identify traffic and pedestrian concerns'
Mr. Ryan reviewed the cost and plans for crosswalk and street improvements around Hoover Elementary
School. He stated that the estimated cost to make the necessary crosswalk improvements was $ 100,000 -
$300,000.
b. CITY OF BURLINGAME PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
Public Works Director Murtuza made a presentation entitled o'Hoover Elementary School Traffic Safety and
Pedestrian Access Summary of Needs Analysis" to the Council and Board of Trustees. DPW Murtuza stated
that BSD and the City were working together to ensure traffic and pedestrian safety around the school.
DPW Murtuza explained the anticipated vehicle and pedestrian flow to and from Hoover Elementary School.
He stated that during the peak morning hours staff estimat ed 125 inbound and 103 outbound trips, while
during the peak evening hours staff estimated 71 inbound and 79 outbound trips. Furthermore, he explained
that staff anticipates traffrc congestion and parking difficulties during special events such as Back to School
Night. Accordingly, he strongly recommended that BSD develop a "Traffic and Parking Management Plan".
In researching the traffic and pedestrian implications, DPW Murtuza explained that staff focused on 4
locations: (1) Easton Drive, (2) Summit Drive, (3) Hillside Circle and (4) Hillside Drive at Alvarado Avenue.
Easton Drive: DPW Murtuza explained the necessary improvements including: (1) new sidewalk as the
pathway is narrow and does not meet City and ADA standards; (2) additional signage; (3) painted crosswalk;
(4) ADA ramps; (5) removal of the stone wall; (6) relocation of the power pole that is obstructing the
sidewalk; and (7) the City would need to eliminate street parking. He estimated the total cost at $852,000 -
$1.3 million.
Councilmember Brownrigg asked if there were private property lines up to the street on Easton Drive. DPW
Murtuza replied in the affirmative. Accordingly, he stated, the City and BSD would need to work with the
homeowners to obtain easements in order to construct ADA compliant sidewalks.
Summit Drive: DPW Murtuza explained the necessary improvements including: (1) new sidewalks; (2)
traffic signage; (3) crosswalks; (4) ADA ramps; (5) relocation of a power pole and fire hydrant that were
obstructing the sidewalk; and (6) repair of a masonry wall at Culvert that restricts the pathway. Furthermore,
he explained that a traffic island was necessary in front of the school at the Easton Drive and Summit Drive
intersection. Accordingly, he estimated the cost of improvements at $1.5 - $2 million. DPW Murtuza
cautioned that a feasibility study should be done prior to any improvements on Summit Drive.

Agenda Item 8b
Meeting Datez L/]-9/L6
Councilmember Brownrigg asked if the City was required to make sidewalks ADA compliant. DPW
Murtuza stated in the affirmative. He explained that under federal law if the City does any work to the
sidewalks the City must ensure that the sidewalks are ADA compliant.
Mayor Keighran inquired about the masonry wall and whether or not it could be removed. DPW Murtuza
stated if the wall was removed the sidewalk would then need to be widened and the street would become a
one-way road.
Councilmember Brownrigg asked how many students would be coming from the direction of Summit Drive.
Mayor Keighran responded that it was approximately 30% of the school population.
The Council and Board of Trustees discussed whether or not Summit Drive could be made a one-way street.
DPW Murtuza voiced concem that it could create traffic problems.
Hillside Circle: DPW Murtuza explained the necessary improvements including: (1) upgrading the
crosswalks; and (2) ADA ramps. He estimated the cost of these improvements at $50,000 - $80,000
Hillside Drive at Alvarado Circle: DPW Murtuza explained the necessary improvements including: (1)
repairing the crosswalks; (2) stop signs; and (3) ADA ramps. He estimated the cost of these improvements at
$33,000 - $38,000.
DPW Murtuza stated that the total cost of the identified improvements is $2.5 - $3.4 million. As well, he
explained that he divided the identified improvements into short-term and medium to long-term
improvements. He stated that the major difference between the short-term and long-term improvements was
that prior to undertaking a long-term improvement, staff would need to first monitor the traffic patterns to
ensure that they were undertaking the correct course of action.
Councilmember Beach asked how long the City would observe traffic pattems prior to making a decision.
DPW Murtuza responded that staff would need 9 months to a year.
Trustee Luftman asked after the year of monitoring how long it would take to implement the improvements
DPW Murtuza stated that the staff would have to look at the scope of work, finances, and the need for
easements. Accordingly, he couldn't give an estimate of time.
In summary, DPW Murtuza explained the list of priorities that Public Works is currently working on (i.e.
101 Broadway Interchange, Broadway Grade Separation and Neighborhood Storm Drain Project No. 8 and
No. 9). As well, he outlined the 5-year general fund CIP needs at a total cost of $15.19 million and the
unfunded needs of the City estimated at $98 - $ 1 13 million.

TRAFFIC SAFETY AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
Agenda Item 8b
Meeting Datet L/t9/L6
Councilmember Colson asked if BSD intended to have a 5th grade class the first year. Superintendent
Maclssac stated that the decision had not been made, but if they did it would only be about l5 students.
Councilmember Brownrigg stated that he appreciated the City's need to monitor traffic patterns prior to
undertaking any long-term improvements. However, he was concerned that some of the projects (such as
Easton Drive) should be made a priority. He suggested creating a pedestrian walkway by making Easton
Drive, one-way during the AM and PM peak hours. DPW Murtuza responded that usually this was only
done for special events as it involved a high cost and a lot of man hours.
Councilmember Beach asked for a clarification on the estimated cost for the crosswalk near Hoover
Elementary School as the City estimated the cost at $30,000 but BSD estimated the cost at $80-95,000.
Director of Facilities Ryan stated that the City's estimate did not include necessary shelving to flatten and
even out the road.
Mayor Keighran asked how many parking spaces were available at the school for parents during drop-off
and pick-up. President Coskey responded that there were none. She stated that during all other hours there
would be 8 visitor parking spots.
Mayor Keighran asked how many crossing-guards the school would use. Superintendent Maclssac
responded that pursuant to the MOU they would have one, but that they foresaw needing an additional
crossing-guard.
Mayor Keighran asked if BSD considered staggered schedules to alleviate traffic problems. Superintendent
Maclssac stated that BSD was concerned about parents needing to drop off their children at Hoover
Elementary School and BIS.
Mayor Keighran asked if there would be summer programs at Hoover Elementary School. President Coskey
r.pii.d in the negative. As a follow up, Trustee Intrieri stated that special events will be held at other schools
during the school year to minimize traffic congestion.
Trustee Luftman asked about the 50/50 sidewalk improvement program and whether that could be used for
repairing and creating ADA compliant sidewalks around the school. DPW Murtuza responded that no, the
SOISO program worked on repairing sidewalks on a l5 year cycle. He stated that the expenditures for the
new sidewalks around the school were outside the scope of the plogram.
Trustee Drabkin asked about the difference in pricing that BSD and the City had for the improvements on
Summit Drive. DPW Murtuza stated that it was his opinion that a traffic island was a necessary tool for this
intersection. He stated it would drastically improve traffic flow. Trustee Luftman asked what the earliest the
City could construct the traffic island. DPW Murtuza stated that it could be done quickly if there was
cooperation from Hillsborough.
The Board of Trustees and the City discussed the possibility of having a traffic circle for Easton Drive. All
seemed optimistic that this could solve some of the traffic flow problems.
Mayor Keighran opened the item up to public comment.

Burlingame resident Steve Duncan asked if BSD considered shuttle buses to transport students. Mayor
Keighran and President Coskey responded that it was discussed but that the decision couldn't be made until
BSD studied traffic patterns and completed a survey of eligible students.
Traffic Safety and Parking Commissioner Howard Wettan discussed the two priorities that the TSP
Commission had: (1) crosswalk at Hillside Drive and (2) crosswalk at Easton Drive.
Burlingame resident and future Hoover Elementary School parent Monica McMillan asked about when the
Easton Drive sidewalk would be completed. DPW Murtuza stated that Easton Drive sidewalk improvements
would take time depending on financing, easements and contracts.
Michael Robinson, Joe Rosencrist, Adam Glick, Sandy Comarado and the next 3 speakers (who did not tum
in speaker cards nor state their names) expressed their concerns about traffic on the roads around the school
and urged BSD and the City to work together to improve the sidewalks.
Another speaker asked about the buses and why BSD was not using buses. Trustee Intrieri stated that the
School Board was thinking about using buses but that they need to first identify the school population to
understand who would be using the buses.
Mayor Keighran closed the public comment.
8.CITY COUN , DIRECTION ON SHORT.IMPROVEMENTS AND NEXT STEPS
Mayor Keighran opened up the item by stating that BSD and the City should focus on identifying the next
steps. Mayor Keighran explained that it was her position that DPW Murtuza's list of short-term
improvements was accurate. Therefore, she stated that this list should be the focus of BSD and the City.
The short-term improvements as outlined by DPW Murtuza are: (1) new traffic island in front of Hoover
School at the intersection of Easton Drive and Summit Drive; (2) new signs (stop signs, pedestrian crossing
waming signs, flashing beacons, turn restriction signs, etc.); (3) striping and roadway legends; (4) curb
painting for passenger loading zone and No Parking zones; (5) ADA access ramps; and (6) crossing-guards.
The estimated total cost of these improvements is $200,000 - $250,000.
Councilmember Brownrigg concurred with the list but stated that he would like to add a couple items.
Mayor Keighran responded that if items were added to the list then this would add to the cost.
Councilmember Brownrigg agreed but stated that he felt it was important to conduct a feasibility study as
soon as possible with respect to sidewalks on Easton Drive and Summit Drive. He stated that he wanted to
make it clear that he is not committing any funds to these projects but rather gathering a more detailed report.
As well, he said he wanted to see Easton Drive and Summit Drive tumed into one-way streets during pick-up
and drop-off. DPW Murtuza stated that for now he agreed that Summit Drive should be turned into a one-
way street but until a study was done he didn't think Easton Drive should be made one-way.
Councilmember Beach stated that she was in favor of approving the list of short-term improvements but had
questions about sidewalk studies on Easton Drive and Summit Drive and which should be done first. DPW
Murtuza stated that a study of Easton Drive should be done first.

Councilmember Colson stated that she agreed with Councilmember Brownrigg but wanted to know how
much a feasibility study would cost. DPW Murtuza stated that he would need to get an estimate from
consultants but that it would be in the $100,000s and would take 5-6 months.
Mayor Keighran asked about the costs associated with turning Summit Drive and/or Easton Drive into one-
way streets. DPW Murtuza responded that it would be a minimal cost.
Mayor Keighran asked the Council if the Council was in agreement about the list of short-term
improvements not including the addition of the feasibility study. The Council replied in the affirmative
President Coskey asked her fellow trustees for their feedback. Trustee Intrieri stated that he was in favor of
expediting the list of short-term improvements.
Mayor Keighran asked if BSD had determined what they could contribute to the cost of the short-term
improvements. Trustee Intrieri responded that BSD cannot use bond funds to improve items that are not
owned by BSD. Accordingly, he stated that his concern was that the further the traffic safety and pedestrian
improvements got from the school, the harder it would be to justify using the bond funds. However, Trustee
Intrieri stated that BSD budgeted $ 150,000 toward short-term improvements.
Mayor Keighran asked if BSD could use general funds for the necessary improvements. Trustee Intrieri
responded that BSD couldn't because the general funds went towards the education of the students.
Councilmember Brownrigg suggested that BSD and the City split the costs of the short-term improvements
50/50 with a cap of $300,000.
Mayor Keighran asked the Council if they were in agreement. The Council responded in the affirmative.
President Coskey asked the Trustees if they were in agreement. The Trustees responded in the affirmative.

AGENDA NO:9a
ItiIEETING DATE: January 19,2016
Subject:Resolution of the City Council of the City of Burlingame Approving the
lssuance by the Burlingame Financing Authority of Not To Exceed
$11,000,000 Aggregate Principal Amount of Storm Drainage Revenue
Bonds to Finance Capital lmprovements to the Storm Drainage System of
the City; Authorizing Execution and Delivery of an lnstallment Sale
Agreement and a Bond Purchase Agreement; Approving Form of Official
Statement; and Authorizing Execution of Documents and the Taking of All
Necessary Actions Relating to the Financing with the Burlingame
Financing Authority
RECOMM DATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving all actions relating to the
issuance of the Storm Drainage Revenue Bonds, Series 2016.
BACKG ROUND
ln 2009, the property owners of Burlingame voted to approve a storm drainage fee that is based
on the impervious nature of real estate lots. An engineering study was conducted to determine
the various categories of fees. The fees are collected annually by San Mateo County as part of
the property tax bill. The County then remits the funds to the City. The storm drainage fee
revenue is used to make improvements to the City's storm drainage system.
On April 19,2010, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the first issuance of storm
drainage revenue bonds and authorizing staff to seek legal validation from the Superior Court of
the County of San t\Iateo regarding the validity of this Council resolution. On June 29,2010, the
Superior Court of the County of San Mateo entered a default judgment in favor of the City, which
validates the issuance of storm drainage bonds.
On August 18,2010, the Burlingame Financing Authority issued its first series of storm drainage
revenue bonds in the amount of $9,805,000. A second series of bonds was issued in December
2O1Zin the amount of $10,615,000. The series 2016 bonds will be the third component of the
storm drainage system's financing program. One final issuance may be necessary before the City
can anticipate funding future capital improvements on a pay-as-you-go basis.
The blanks in the preliminary Official Statement and Bond Purchase Agreement are intentional
and will be filled in once the issuance moves fonrvard and the pricing and sale are completed.

Storm Drain Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 - City Council January 19,2016
DISC SION
The storm drainage system requires additional capital improvement to modernize the City's aged
storm drain infrastructure. The first series of bonds of about $9.8 million were sold in 2010 with a
mixture of traditional tax-exempt bonds ($2.6 million) and taxable Build America Bonds (BABs)
($7.2 million). As the City drew down the proceeds of those bonds, the 2012 bonds issuance
($10.2 million) replenished the City's ability to fund further capital improvements; the remainder of
this second issuance was encumbered in early November for construction and inspection
services for the Neighborhood Storm Drain Project No. 8. The 2016 bonds will provide funding
for storm drainage capital improvements that will be needed in the coming years.
According to the capital improvement plan adopted as part of the City's budget on June 18, 2015,
the City is contemplating $18.4 million of additional projects for this system beyond the current
fiscal year. lncluded in these projects are capacity improvements to the Burlingame, Ralston, El
Portal and Gilbreth creeks as well as the Trousdale channel. The plan also calls for general
improvements and maintenance of catchment basins and pump stations citywide.
The 2016 bonds will finance aproximately $10 million in new storm drainage improvements. The
final amount of improvements to be financed from the 2016 bonds will be determined closer to the
bond sale based on actual funding needs.
Stifel Nicolaus will serve as underwriter for the bonds, which will be sold on a negotiated basis.
Orrick will serve as Bond & Disclosure Counsel. PFM will serve as the Financial Advisor to
review the transaction's interest rates and the undenrvriting fees at the time of the bond sale. lt is
expected that the bonds will be sold on February 10, 2016, and the transaction is expected to
close on February 24,2016. The proceeds will be deposited in the Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, the City's trustee bank.
Copies of the Resolutions, Preliminary Official Statement and Bond Purchase Agreement are
available for public inspection at the Office of the City Clerk. Electronic copies are also available
for e-mail to Councilmembers as well as interested members of the public by contacting the City
Clerk.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed bond issuance is currently projected to be rated "A+" by the Standard & Poor's
rating agency. lf a bond insurance policy is made available, the decision to purchase it will
depend on the potential economic benefit it provides (if any). On April 19, 2010, the Council
approved storm drainage fund policies to ensure the repayment of the storm drainage debt to the
bondholders and aid in buffering investors against potential contingencies that the city may face
which may pose a financial risk.
The not-to-exceed interest rate is set at 6.500/0, but the actual interest rate is expected to be
between 2.0% and 5.Oo/o. The average debt payment for the 2016 bonds is estimated at
$725,000, assuming financing $10 million in storm drainage improvements. The combined

a
Sform Drain Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 - City Council January 19,2016
annual debt payment for the 2016, 2012 and 2010 bonds is projected to be $2,000,000. The final
maturity will be 2038 to coincide with the final collection date of the storm drainage revenue fee.

MEETING DATE: January 19,2016
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: January 19,2016
From: Carol Augustine, Finance Director - (650) 558'7222
Subject: Acceptance of the Gomprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Year
Ended June 30,2015
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) for the fiscal year 2014-15.
BACKGROUND
Following the close of each fiscal year, the City's external auditors conduct an audit of the City's
financial records and assist in the compilation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR). The paramount objective of general purpose external financial reporting is accountability.
The goal of a financial statement audit is to provide Lrsers with a reasonable assurance from an
independent source that the information presented in the statements is reliable. The audit for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 was just recently completed.
DISCUSSION
The 2014-15 fiscal year audit is the fifth annual audit performed by Brown Armstrong
Accountancy Corporation as the City's external auditors. The firm conducts their audits in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The
standards require that the auditors plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. On a sample basis,
they examine evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall basic financial statement presentation.
The auditor's unmodified ("clean") opinion is presented as the first item in the financial section of
the CAFR (page 1). ln accordance with Government Auditing Standards, the auditors also issue a
report of recommendations to City management identifying any areas for improvement in the
City's internal control over financial reporting. The City's Audit Committee, currently comprised of
Council Members Michael Brownrigg and Donna Colson, recently met with staff and the auditors
to discuss the audit reports, results and recommendations.

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2014-l 5 January 19,2016
Each year the City participates in the CAFR award program administered by the Governmental
Finance Officers of America (GFOA), and has been successful in obtaining the award each fiscal
year beginning in 1989-90. Staff has submitted the City's FY 2014-15 CAFR to the GFOA
program and is confident that the report will again merit the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting. The 14-15 CAFR is posted to the City's web site (Finance
Department web page) at http://www.burlinqame.orq/index.aspx?paqe=22.
Management's Discussion and Analvsis
Governmental Accounting Standards require a Management's Discussion and Analysis (referred
to as MD&A) to be included with the audited financial statements, with the intent of giving readers
an objective and easily readable analysis of the City's financial performance for the year. The
[MD&A includes a discussion of the basic financial statements, some condensed financial
information, an analysis of the City's financial position and results of operations on both a City-
wide and Fund basis. The Management's Discussion and Analysis begins on page 5 of the
CAFR.
As noted in the document, the financial standing of the City remains relatively strong. The City's
total revenues increased $2.8 million over the prior year, and total expenses increased slightly
over $2.1 million. For the most part, departmental expenses increased due to the inclusion of
retiree medical obligations, both current costs and an amortization of prior year costs, now
included in the department's budgets.
New GASB standards that relate to the recording and reporting of pension costs and liabilities
were implemented in this 2015-16 CAFR. As a result, prior year governmental net position
(reported in the government-wide financial statements) was reduced $66.5 million, and the
beginning net position of businesstype activities (largely enterprise funds) was reduced $8.5
million. This significant reduction in net position creates a negative balance in the unrestricted
net position of the City's governmental activities. As the net pension liability diminishes, the
unrestricted portion of the City's net position will improve. Note that all governmental agencies
that conform to governmental accounting standards are impacted by this change, which reflects
only a change in accounting principle, not an actual change in financial condition. As the new
GASB reporting scheme has been broadly anticipated, the change will not materially affect the
credit ratings of impacted public agencies, as there has been no change in the already apparent
realities of the marketplace.
The government-wide financial statements, which provide a broad overview of the City's finances,
indicate that the City's net position increased $24.6 million (18.6 percent) during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2015'. $17 million due to governmental activities and $7.6 million due to
businesstype activities (largely comprised of the City's Water and Wastewater utilities
operations). Governmental revenues were up nearly $5.3 million from the prior year - due largely
to increases in transient occupancy, property and sales tax revenues - as the Bay Area continued
to lead the state in economic growth. The largest improvement in net position for business-type
activities ($3.5 million) was in the wastewater utility. Changes within each of the City's Enterprise
Funds, which are reported as business-type activities, are explained in the MD&A.
2
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2014-1 5 January 19,2016
General Fund Status
General Fund highlights for the 2014-15 fiscal year are also summarized in the MD&A. A
separate disclosure, the Budgetary Comparison Schedule for the General Fund, is included in the
CAFR (page 132) as Required Supplementary lnformation, Note 6.
The General Fund experienced a surplus for the year, as revenues of the fund exceeded
expenditures and net transfers by nearly $6.6 million. The largest positive budget variance was
reported for Transient Occupancy Tax revenues, which totaled $23.7 million, over $2,3 million
higher than in the previous fiscal year. Property and sales tax revenues were up a combined
$2.1 million over the prior year, an additional reflection of strong tourist demand and improved
consumer confidence. Many of these revenue increases were anticipated at mid-year and were
reflected in the adjusted budget for the year. Still, actual revenues came in nearly $2.0 million
higher than the adjusted budget, a positive variance o13.2 percent.
Budgetary savings (positive expenditure variances) within the General Fund were experienced in
all departments, resulting in expenditures of $3.5 million (roughly 7.3 percent) less than budgeted
for the fiscal year. This is a fairly large variance: Over $1 million budgetary savings in salaries
and wages alone (6.8 percent) and an additional $.5 million in retirement and health benefits (9.4
percent) indicate a higher than usual vacancy rate. (The budget is established assuming full
staffing throughout the year.) The highest percentage of budgetary savings was in Public Works,
largely due to the amount of resources, in both the Engineering and Street and Storm Drainage
Divisions, charged to the City's on-going projects in the Capital Projects Fund rather than to
General Fund operations. Higher budgetary savings were also experienced in the Planning
Department, as certain development activities were reimbursed by applicants.
Since local government expenditure budgets (appropriations) serve as the legal level of
budgetary control, some level of savings will be realized in any fiscal year. ln addition, budgets
are developed based on year-round occupancy of all authorized staff positions. ln periods of high
turnover or other reasons for an increased level of staff vacancies, higher budgetary savings may
be experienced.
Storm Drain Fund Status
Unlike prior fiscal year reports, the Storm Drainage Fund is shown as a major governmental fund
in the CAFR for fiscal year 2014-15. Although fee revenues to the fund (over $2.7 million) were
slightly higher than in the prior year, transfers of only $355 thousand (as compared to the $7.0
million in fiscal year 2013-14) were made to support capital improvements to the City's storm
drain infrastructure. The additional transfer of $1.4 million for debt service on previously issued
bonds resulted in a fund balance of nearly $2.6 million, an increase of slightly over $1 million. As
all of the remaining bond proceeds have been appropriated for current storm drain projects, the
City plans to issue a third bond series in 2016 so that these projects are appropriately funded
without interruption or the need to borrow from other funds.

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 201 4-1 5 January 19, 2016
Proprietarv Funds
Proprietary Funds are used to account for activities that are fueled by charges for the services
provided by each fund. Enterprise Funds account for external activities (largely utilities), while
lnternal Service Funds (SFs) account for internal (interdepartmental) activities.
The City maintains enterprise funds to account for the activities of its water and wastewater
operations. Charts depicting the historical financial performance of these two funds are included
in the MD&A. The funds are self-supporting: the sale of water and provision of wastewater
services to customers generates the revenue needed to support the operations and capital needs
of these utilities. Both utilities experienced an increase in net position in fiscal year 2014-15: $2.0
million (11.8 percent) for the Water Fund, and $3.5 million (9.2 percent) for the Sewer Fund.
The Solid Waste Management Fund and Landfill Fund are both fueled by a surcharge on garbage
rates. The Solid Waste Fund accounts for City costs of street cleaning, the household hazardous
waste program, steam cleaning of City receptacles and other related activities, and provides a
rate stabilization reserve for rate payers. Conversely, the Landfill Fund accounts for post closure
maintenance and monitoring of the City's old landfill site. The City reports its obligation to ensure
that the City's landfill site is properly maintained going fonrard as a post-closure liability, which
results in a deficit position for the fund. However, the landfill surcharge should serve not only to
maintain the site, but reduce the unfunded portion of the post-closure liability in future years.
Other enterprise funds consist of the Parking Fund and the Building Fund. These funds also
ended the fiscal year with increased net positions.
The City's six lnternal Service Funds (lSFs) are utilized to report activities that provide insurance,
facilities, vehicles and equipment, and information technology services to support the City's
various programs and functions. The City's OPEB (Other Post Employee Benefits) Fund was
created in fiscal year 2Q13-14 to account for funding of the external trust account established to
meet the City's retiree medical obligations. Beginning in the 2014-15 fiscal year, surcharges on
departmental payrolls provide revenue to the OPEB ISF; retiree medical premiums and monthly
contributions to the trust account comprise the fund's expenditures. This fund retains a relatively
small balance as the City fonruards any remaining departmental charges to the trust fund, where
higher interest earnings are obtained than can be achieved in the City's investment portfolio.
The combined net positions reported in all of the lSFs increased in fiscal year 2014-15 due
largely to the favorable claims development within both the City's general liability and workers
compensation programs. The City strives to maintain additional reserves to protect against
unusual losses beyond normal experience. Charges to the departments are calibrated so as to
cover costs of insurance and the payment of claims, though demands of these funds have varied
considerably in recent fiscal years. As of June 30, 2015, all of the lSFs maintain adequate
balances, and internal (departmental) charges for services should require only small adjustments
in future years.

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 201 4-1 5 January 19,2016
Other Funds
The MD&A discusses changes in the City's Capital Projects Fund and Debt Service Fund, which
are considered major funds for financial statement purposes. Capital project expenditures totaled
$13.9 million. Leading the list of spending on capital projects during the fiscal year was the
Library Millennium Project ($3 million), followed by completion of the Burlingame Avenue
Streetscape Project ($1.9 million). Debt activities for the year were limited to debt service
payments on the City's outstanding debt, which included $5.1 million in principal payments and
$2.6 million in interest and administrative costs. As noted in the document's Letter of Transmittal,
the City's AA+ general obligation credit rating was last re-affirmed by Standard & Poor's in March
2014.
The City also has nine non-major governmental funds, all of which are considered Special
Revenue Funds. (Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of governmental
revenues that are restricted or committed for purposes other than debt service or capital
projects.) Details of these funds are reported in the Combining Financial Statements beginning
on page 138 of the CAFR. The City's largest special revenue funds are the Gas Tax and
measure A Funds. Transactions in these funds consist largely of transfer to the Capital Projects
Fund for street and transportation related projects.
The impact of the 2014-15 fiscal year results for the City's General Fund on the current year
budget continues to be analyzed in conjunction with a monthly budget-to-actual review. A review
of all of the City's funds, an update on the status of major projects and priorities, and an update of
economic conditions will be presented to the Council with the mid-year report and budget
adjustments in March. At that time, the longterm financial forecast will also be revised.
FISCAL IMPAGT
Acceptance of the City's CAFR has no direct impact on City resources. However, obtaining an
unqualified opinion from the auditor is an important independent verification and validation of the
City's financial management practices and a prerequisite to receive the GFOA award. An award-
winning CAFR contributes to the City's excellent bond rating.

January 7 ,2016
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the Council, and Citizens of Burlingame
I am pleased to present the City of Burlingame's (the City) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. This financial report contains a complete set of audited
financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as
promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Responsibility for the accuracy of the data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation,
including all disclosures, rests with the City, and in particular, the Finance Department. lnformation
contained in this report is based upon a comprehensive framework of internal controls that has been
established for this purpose. The objective of internal controls is to provide reasonable, rather than
absolute, assurance that the CAFR information is accurate in all material aspects. The Management's
Discussion and Analysis section of the financial report provides information on the City's financial
position and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements.
As required by GAAP, the financial statements present the government and its component units that are
considered to be fiscally interdependent. For financial reporting purposes, the City's basic financial
statements include all funds, boards, commissions, and authorities that are controlled by or are
dependent upon the Burlingame City Council.
The California Government Code requires an annual audit of the basic financial statements of the City.
The accounting firm Brown Armstrong performed the audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The
independent audito/s report on the basic financial statements is included in the financial section of this
report and states that the City's basic financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the City as of June 30,20L5, and the results of its operations and the cash flows of
its proprietary fund types for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. For the year ended June 30, 20L5, single audits were not required in accordance with the
provisions of the Single Audit Act, as threshold expenditure requirements from federal funding were not
reached during the fiscal year.
Government Profile
The City is a California general law City incorporated in 1908 that operates under the Council-Manager
form of government. A five-member City Council is elected at large to four-year terms and serves as the
Board of Directors. The City Council selects a Mayor and Vice Mayor from its members annually. A City
Manager is appointed by the City Council and serves as the chief executive officer. The City Manager is
responsible for all municipal functions. A City Attorney is appointed by the City Council to serve as chief
legal advisor for the governing body and the administration. The City's municipal services include: police
and fire protection; public works; community development; parks and recreation; library services;
i
water, sewer, parking, solid waste and storm drainage. General government activities include finance,
human resources, legal services and city administration. The city employs approximately 200 full-time
employees. An executive team helps the City Manager lead the city organization. lt includes eight
department directors, the City Attorney and the City Clerk.
The Burlingame City limits contain approximately six square miles. The City is located in San Mateo
County, on the western shore of the San Francisco Bay approximately 10 miles south of San Francisco.
According to the State Department of Finance, the population for the city of Burlingame is 29,700. The
population has remained fairly level, increasing by 1.2% over the past five years.
Budset Process
The City adopts an annual budget for all funds. Major funds include the General, Storm Drainage,
Capital Projects, Debt Service, Water, Sewer, Parking, Waste Management, Landfill and Building Funds.
Budgets are prepared on the same basis of accounting as the associated financial statements.
The City's formal budget is employed as a management control device during the year, and it is adopted
annually for all City funds, except for the fiduciary funds and certain special revenue funds where
appropriate. consistent with most governmental entities, the City's budget is based on a modified
accrual basis of accounting under which revenues are recognized in the period they become available
and measurable, and expenditures are recognized in the period the related liability is incurred.
The City budget includes information regarding estimated costs (or outlays) and revenue (or cash
inflows) for identified programs, projects, and levels of service to meet the needs of the City. All annual
appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year except in the Capital Projects Fund, because capital
improvement projects typically span more than one fiscal year. Appropriations for capital projects lapse
when projects are completed, placed into service, accounted for as capital assets or abandoned at the
discretion of the City and/or City Council.
Budget amendments that increase a fund's appropriations require majority approval by the City Council.
Certain budgetary re-allocations within departments require approval by the Finance Director and
department heads. Budget amendments between departments are approved by the Finance Director
and City Manager. A mid-year budget status report and a long-term financial forecast for the next five
years are presented to the City Council as part of an ongoing assessment and evaluation of budgetary
performance, with special attention to the General Fund and certain other major funds.
The City Council encourages all City residents and business community members to participate in the
development of the City budget. The City Council holds three public meetings to provide guidance on
the budget: a goal-setting session in January, and budget study sessions in March and May. The City
Council solicits input at each of the meetings. Community members may also submit their ideas directly
to City staff.
Under these policy directives and guidance, departments prepare their budget requests in support of
their programs for submission in early April. Expenditure assumptions are based on known factors such
as collective bargaining agreements, current pay and benefit policies, consumer price indices, and other
information available from expert third-parties or governing authorities.
Budget requests are reviewed by the Finance Department for technical compliance to City budget
instructions. The Proposed Budget is prepared and delivered to the City Council in May. The City Council
reviews the Proposed Budget before the final budget is formally adopted in June at a public hearing,
which gives residents an additional opportunity to comment on the spending plan.
Along with most cities along the 5an Francisco peninsula, the city has fully recovered from the 2008-
2010 recession, as evidenced by rebounds in the City's largest revenue sources. ln fact, the City's top
three revenues streams (from transient occupancy tax, property tax and sales taxes) have far surpassed
pre-recessionary amounts, and now constitute ovet 83yo of the City's General Fund revenues. Key
indicators of the City's economic health are job growth, real estate values, and retail activity.
Employment
The San Francisco Bay Area continues to lead the state in job expansion; the unemployment rate
remains one of the lowest in the State of California, based upon recent Employment Development
Department (EDD) data. The unemployment rate in San Mateo County was 3.1% in November 2015,
which is below last year's 'ale of 4.0%. comparatively, the State of California's unemployment rate also
improved; it is now 5.7% as of November 20L5, a L.5 percent decline since last year.
The total number of jobs located in the counties of San Francisco and San Mateo combined rose by
42,200, or 4.1% between November 2014 and November 2015. The highest job growth occurred in
professional and business service employment (18,800), followed by the trade, transportation and
utilities sector (s,6OO jobs). Real personal income growth is also slated to grow by 4.5% by the end of
calendar year 2015, with projected growth rates of 4.4% in 2016 and 3.5% in 2077, as reported by the
University of California, Los Angeles Anderson School of Business in its Ju ne 2015 economic forecast.
Property taxes, which are based on assessed value, are one of the City's largest revenue sources,
accounting for approximately 27% ol the City's General Fund revenue. Fiscal year 2014-15 property tax
receipts were 515.7 million, up 7.6% f,om the prior year.
According to data obtained from the San Mateo County Assessor, the City has 8,570 parcels with a total
assessed value of S8.4 billion, an increase of 5568.4 million, or 7.3% since last year. Residential assessed
values grew by 7.9%, while commercial assessed values grew by 9.5%.
According to DataQuick, the median price of homes sold in the City during the month of October 2015,
was 51,928,000, which is a 3.9% increase compared to the same time last year. However, only 30 homes
were sold. County-wide, 599 homes were sold, with a median value of 5930,000, a 6.3% year-over-year
increase in sales price since October 20L4. The area's housing supply shortage is a primary driver of high
housing costs. Combined with the increase in real income, it is increasingly apparent that lower income
residents are getting priced out of the San Mateo County.
The City is a highly desirable residential community and upscale commercial location with attractive
shopping districts. The City borders the Town of Hillsborough, an affluent community that is L00%
residential. Therefore, in many cases, Burlingame businesses have the opportunity to serve the
commercial needs of Hillsborough residents, and benefit from the additional disposable income from
neighboring communities. Numerous national retailers are located in the Burlingame Avenue Business
District, making the area competitive with regional shopping malls. ln addition, the City is known for its
upscale restaurants and businesses that attract patrons from throughout the entire San Francisco Bay
Area. The City owns and manages most of the parking spaces located within the shopping districts and
works with local merchants to maximize the shopping experience.
iii
Assessment of Economic condition
Real Estate and Propertv Taxes
Sales and Use Taxes
The City heralded the completion of the Burlingame Avenue Streetscape lmprovement Pro.iect with a
ribbon cutting in November 2014. The project provided significant upgrades to sidewalks, parking, street
lights, street furniture, parking meters and landscaping throughout downtown Burlingame.
Sales and use taxes accounted for an additional 18% of General Fund revenue in fiscal year 2014-15.
Sales and use tax revenues were S11.1 million, which is an 8.9% increase over the prior year's receipts of
510.2 million. The top 25 sales tax producers in Burlingame account for approximately 50% oftotal sales
tax revenue, and include several auto dealers, hotels, and general merchandise stores. Heightened
activity in both casual and fine dining also fueled sales tax gains. Other gains were seen in
electronics/appliance and specialty stores.
Accounting System, Budgetory Contrcl, dnd Fund Accounting: All governmental and fiduciary fund
types use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when measurable and
available, rather than when received, and expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred,
rather than when paid. Conversely, the accrual basis of accounting is used for proprietary funds. All
governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending (or funds flow) measurement focus. Only
current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the governmental fund balance sheets.
lntemal Controls: City management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
controls to ensure that City assets are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to assure that adequate
accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements that conform to
generally accepted accounting principles. lnternal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not
absolute assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that
the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits to be derived, and that cost-benefit analysis
requires prudent estimates and judgments by management.
The Finance Department establishes internal accounting controls to provide management reasonable
assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets and the reliability of financial records for preparing
financial statements and maintaining asset accountability. The City's finance staff and the independent
auditor consider the internal controls over financial reporting in planning and performing the annual
audit. The independent auditors test the City's internal controls and make inquiries into the staff's
knowledge of fraud or the occurrence of fraud.
Cdsh Mdndgementr The City pools cash from all operating sources to manage cash flow and invest idle
funds. The Finance Director serves as the City's Treasurer and manages the portfolio of funds in
accordance with the City Council's adopted lnvestment Policy and Government Code Sections 53501 and
55535. The Finance Director submits a quarterly investment report to the Council. The Council also
reviews and approves the City's lnvestment Policy early in each fiscal year.
Tourism and Business Travel
The City's 13 major hotels provide convenient overnight accommodations for business travelers and
tourists using 5an Francisco lnternational Airport (SFO), with a total of approximately 3,742 rcoms
available for rental. Hotel occupancy rates are indicative of continued improvement in the economy. As
the City's largest revenue source, transient occupancy tax revenues account for ovet 38o/o of all General
Fund revenues, and grew by S2.3 million (11%) compared to the prior year. Although combined
occupancy rates leveled off to 83.8% (from 85.3% in the prior year), average room rates within the City
increased neatly t2%, thanks to the success of many Bay Area sports teams and increased tourism. As
reported by SFO, total domestic and international airport passengers increased by 5.7% since fiscal year
20L3-t4.
Financial lnformation
Risk Mdndgement'The City is a member of the Association of Bay Area Governments Pooled Liability
Assurance Network Corporation (ABAG PLAN), a non-profit public benefit corporation established to
provide liability insurance, claims, risk management and legal defense services to participating
members. The program provides the City with liability coverage up to a maximum of $10 million, with
the City maintaining a self-insured retention of $250,000. The City also maintains workers'
compensation coverage to a maximum of 55 million, with a self-insured retention of $500,000 per claim.
The City maintains reserves for all claims below its self-insured retention in separate lnternal Service
Funds, and charges the costs ofthe program to operating departments. An actuarialstudy ofthe current
obligations for the General Liability and Worker/s Compensation Funds was completed in May 2015, and
the related accruals for current and expected claims have been included in the year-end results for
these funds. The City has implemented and is in compliance with GASB Statement No. LO, Accounting
dnd Findncial Reporting Ior Risk Finoncing dnd Related lnsurdnce lssues.
Debt Administrationi The City has an AA+ underlying general obligation credit rating, an AA+ rating for
its water and wastewater debt, and an A+ rating for the storm drain debt as issued by Standard & Poor's
Rating Service. The AA+ general obligation credit ratin8 was re-affirmed in March 2014. ln fiscal year
2013-14, the City had 14 outstandin8 bonds or loans, including a taxable bond issue for pension
obligations, two loans from the State of California Water Resources Control Board for improvements to
the Burlingame Wastewater Treatment Plant, one capital lease, a loan from the California Energy
Commission, and a storm drain revenue bond issued under the lnternal Revenue Service's Build America
Bond program. The City annually evaluates each outstanding debt obligation that is subject to arbitrage
rebate requirements and determined that there was no arbitrage rebate liability as ofJune 30, 2015.
As of June 30, 20L5, the City's general obligation debt limit was 5316.7 million, which represents 3.75%
of total assessed valuation based on assessments at 100% ol full market value, in accordance with
California Government Code Section 43605. With only the 2006 Pension Obligation Bonds (517.7 million
outstanding) considered to be general obligation debt, the City's legal debt margin was 5299 million.
Additional information pertaining to the City's outstanding long-term debt can be found under Long-
Term Debt (Note 5) in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements and in the Statistical Section under
Legal Debt MarBin information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
of the City of Burlingame
Burlingame, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Burlingame, California (City), as of and for
the year ended June 30, 20L5, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table
of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditor/s Responsibi lity
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these 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 Stondards, issued by the Comptroller
General 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 misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. ln making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
L
..r,,.
B[ry4{
*J,{ffi*N*
I:
,
'a
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Opinions
ln our opinion, the 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 as of June 30, 2015, and the respective
changes in financial position, and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, during the year ended June 30, 2015, the City
implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No.68, Accounting ond
Finonciol Reportinq for Pensions - on omendment ol GASB Statement No. 27, and GASB Statement No.
7L, Pension Tronsition for Contributions Mdde Subsequent to the Measurement Dote - on omendment of
GASB Stdtement No. 58. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Re q u i re d Su p ple me nto ry I nfor mdtio n
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis on pages 5 through 28 and the Other Required Supplementary lnformation on
pages 123 to 135 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information,
although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the GASB, who considers it to be an
essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the
required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing
the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic
financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information
because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or
provide any assurance.
Other lnformdtion
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and
individual nonma.ior fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section are presented for
purposes ofadditionalanalysis and are not a required part ofthe basicfinancial statements.
2
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the 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. ln our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and
schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financialstatements taken as a
whole.
The introductory and statisticalsections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financialstatements and schedules and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
ln accordance with Government Auditing Stondards, we have also issued our report dated January 7,
2016, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Stondords in considering the City's internal control
over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
This is Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2015. This information should be read together with the transmittal letter, financial statements, and
notes to the basic financial statements to better understand the City of Burlingame's (the City) financial
position.
The City has prepared its annual financial report in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and all Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) pronouncements that affect the City.
Financial Hiehlishts for Fiscal Year 2014-15 (endins June 30)
City assets and deferred outflows of resources exceed liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources by S157 million, or a 524.6 million increase compared to beginning (restated) net
position.
Enterprise Fund net position increased by $7.6 million to nearly S73.0 million. Of this amount,
522.0 million was unrestricted net position and available for use at the City's discretion.
Governmental fund balances increased nearly S5.3 million, to $74.7 million. Of this amount,
approximately S10.5 million, or 74yo, was u nassigned fund balance and available for spending at
the City's discretion.
General Fund revenues increased by 56.3 million in fiscal year 2014-15, an increase oI ll.3% ol
prior year performance of 555.6 million. The increase in revenue was driven by a 92.3 million
increase in current year collections of transient occupancy (hotel) taxes and other tax revenues.
Amendments to various revenue sources in the General Fund budget in the amount of 54.6
million were authorized by the City Council at mid-year, as these improved revenues became
evident early in the fiscal year.
The General Fund ending fund balance increased from $22.9 million to 529.5 million. Of this
amount, nearly $18.8 million has been assigned - intended to be used for specific purposes.
Note that the City's beginning Net Position (as of .luly 1, 20L4) was restated with the implementation of
GASB 68 reporting of pension liabilities. City-wide net position was ad.iusted downward by S75 million:
S66.4 million in governmental activities and 58.6 million in the business-type activities. The result ofthis
implementation impacts all governmental agencies that conform to governmental accounting standards,
and reflects only a change in accounting principle, not an actual change in financialcondition.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This section introduces the reader to the City's three basic financial statements: 1) government-wide
financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. The
report also contains supplemental information to help the reader develop a full understanding of the
City's financial activities.

CITY OF BURLINGAME, CALIFORNIA
MANAGEMEN?S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
Government-Wide Statements
The government-wide financial statements include the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of
Activities. These statements provide a broad overview of the City's finances. They are presented in a
man ner that is similar to private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents complete information on the City's assets and deferred
outflows of resources, as well as liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference
reported as net position. Changes in net position that occur over time may serve as an indicator of the
City's financial position.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during
the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported using the "accrual basis of
accounting." Changes are reported when the underlying event causing the changes occurs, regardless of
the timing of the related cash flows. Therefore, revenue and expenses are reported in this statement for
some items that will result in cash flows in future years, such as revenues related to uncollected taxes or
earned but unused employee leave.
Both government-wide financial statements distinguish between governmental activities, such as City
functions that are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenue, and other activities that are self-
supporting. The self-supporting functions are called "business-type activities" or enterprise funds. They
are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges for
se rvices.
Governmental activities include general government administration, public safety (such as police, fire
and 911-dispatch), public works, community development, parks, recreation and library, shuttle bus
operations, and financing and other activities.
The self-supporting, business-type activities include water, sewer service, parkinS, waste management,
landfill and building inspection.
Fund Financial statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that are used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal and accounting requirements. The City's funds can be divided into
three categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds account for tax supported functions reported as Bovernmental activities in the
governmental-wide financial statements. Governmental funds use the "current financial resources"
measurement focus, with an emphasis on having sufficient resources to meet expenditures in the short-
term - a L2 month fiscal year. These statements focus on how cash and other financial assets can be
readily converted to available resources for spending on City services. They also show fund balances that
are left at the end of the fiscal year and distinguish between amounts that are restricted versus funds
that are available for spending.

CITY OF BURTINGAME, CALIFORNIA
MANAGEMENT,S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City's near-term financing
decisions. Both the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and the Governmental Funds Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental activities and governmental funds.
The City has four major governmental fund types: General, Capital Pro.iects, Storm Drainage and Debt
Service. lnformation is presented separately in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and in the
Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for these
funds. Financial information for the remaining governmentalfunds is combined into a single, aggregated
presentation called Non-Major Governmental Funds. lndividual fund data for each of these non-major
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements located elsewhere in the report.
Proprietary Funds
proprietary funds are used to account for services and activities for which a fee is charged to customers
in exchange for City provided goods or services. Proprietary funds use the "economic resources"
measurement focus, which concentrates on how transactions and events have affected the fund's total
economic resources. The city maintains two different types of proprietary funds.
Business-TvDe Activities or Enterorise Fundsi These are funds that are used to re port business-type
activities in the govern mental-wide financial statements. The City has six enterprise funds: Water,
Sewer, Parking, Waste Management, Landfill and the Building Fund.
nol Service Fun These funds are used to allocate costs internally among the City's functions. The
City uses internal service funds to account for the maintenance and replacement of its fleet and rolling
stock; maintenance of City buildings and facilities; general liability; workers' compensation; and
information technology and administrative support. These funds are included in the governmental
activities of the government-wide financial statements because their activities support governmental
programs. The internal service funds are then combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the
proprietary fund financial statements. lndividual data for the internal services funds is provided in the
form of combining statements.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for financial resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City
government. The City holds these funds in a custodial capacity or as an agent for individuals, private
organizations, or other governmental units such as the State of California or the United States. Fiduciary
funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of these
funds are not available to support the City's governmental activities.

Analysis of Net Position
The City had a total net position of S157 million as of June 30, 2015. Net position increased by L8.6%
from beginning total net position (as restated) of 5132.4 million. Note, however, that implementation
of GASB Statements No. 68 and No. 71, which require recognition of net pension liability and associated
deferred inflows and outflows of resources, caused a significant drop (over 555 million) in the beginning
net position. Assets and deferred outflows of resources as of the end of June 30, 2015 were 5355.1
million, reflecting a 7.7yo negalive change from the prior year. The 510.4 million decrease in assets was
due to the elimination of the prior year's 525.3 million net pension asset (also the result of GASB
Statements No. 68 and No. 71 implementation), offset by an increase in current assets of S9.7 million
and a 55.2 million growth in capital assets. Liabilities and deferred inflows of resources increased by
28.7% (544.2 million), due largely to the recognition of a net pension liability of 541.8 million, and
associated deferred inflows of resources of Su.6 million. An offsetting decrease in long-term debt (S7.8
million) is reported, as well as an $880 thousand decrease in claims payable.
The largest portion of the City's net position is its net investment in capital assets totaling 5124.8
million. Capital assets are the aggregate value of land, buildings, and improvements that are used to
provide services. Their value is reported net of related debt because the funds to repay the debt come
from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. The
City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available
for future spending. An additional portion of the City's net position, 536.9 million (23.5%) represents
resources that are subiect to restrictions that may only be used for debt service, to construct specified
capital projects or within the confines of special revenue programs. These resources include amounts
held by the City's trustee (S4.4 million). The remaining 532.5 million is restricted for storm drain capital
improvements, contributions for improvements to the Burlingame Avenue Special Assessment District,
and street repair and maintenance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANATYSIS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
Unrestricted net position can be used to finance day-to-day operations without constraints established
by debt covenants or other legal requirements or restrictions. Due to the implementation of GASB
Statement No. 68 and the recoding of a net pension liability, the City's unrestricted net position on June
30, 2015 was a negative S4.7 million. As the net pension liability will likely remain a long term liability
for several decades, unrestricted net position will remain negative for quite some time.
At the end of the fiscal year, both governmental and business-type activities had positive net positions.

Governmental Activities
Governmental activities increased the City's net position by over St6.9 million, with a total net position
of S84 million at the end of the fiscal year. The increase was attributable to total governmental revenues
that exceeded total expenses by Sf:.f million, prior to net transfers in of S3.1 million. Program
revenues decreased slightly (1.5%), despite a higher level of operating grants and contributions, due to
a lesser amount of capital grants than last year and slightly lower volumes of activities in Community
Development and Public Works.

Expenses from governmental activities increased approximately $+ZO thousand for a total of SSS million
for the fiscal year. Although expenses in the general government category decreased, most
departments showed increased spending as the payments for the City's retiree medical obligations were
allocated with each payroll. This is particularly true in Public Safety activities: the Police Department
incurred a combined current (normal) cost and amortization of prior year retiree medical costs of nearly
St.9 million. ln the prioryear, much of this expense was categorized as a generalgovernment activity.
Accelerated depreciation of fire vehicles contributed to the 5900 thousand increase in the cost of fire
services. The larger increase in parks, recreation and library activities was due to the Millennium
Project, a 53.5 million renovation of the historic Burlingame Public Library's main branch, for which the
Library raised S1 million in donations over the past two years. The overall departmental spending
increase across all departments was 1.7%; there was very little year over year change in financing
activities, which represents debt service and amortization of premiums and discounts on previously
issued debt.
The majority of these governmental activities are financed from City taxes. However, the Sg.1 million
collected in charges for services (reported as program revenues) for these various activities served to
offset the departmental spending associated with some services. Program revenues overall covered
approximately L9S% of governmental expenses over the fiscal year.
The above charts of expenses and net cost of the City's various governmental activities have been
derived from the Statement of Activities. The first pie chart reflects expenses incurred in each area as a
percentage of the total expense of governmental activities (S55 million in fiscal year 2014-15). This
compares with the relative net cost after applying program revenues derived from each area's activity.
The total net cost of governmental activities (S44.1 million in fiscal year 2OL4-15) must be funded out of
the City's general revenues - primarily taxes and investment earnings. Areas with the highest program
revenues (i.e, Public Works; Parks, Recreation and Library) are able to offset relatively more costs than
activities that have fewer opportunities to derive program revenues (such as Public Safety).

Business-Type Activities
The net position for business-type activities increased by SZ.0 million, or ll.7%, frcm a beginning
(restated) net position of 565.3 milllon. ln fiscal year 2014-15, enterprise operations produced total
operating revenue (consisting largely of revenues from charges for services) of over S37 million, a
decrease of nearly S2.5 million or a 6.3o/o reduction from fiscal year 2013-14 operating revenues of 539.5
million. The Water and Sewer enterprises experienced the greatest decrease in revenues (S1.8 million
combined) due to a reduction in water consumption and sales in response to the state's severe drought.
ln addition, revenues in the Solid Waste Fund reflected an adjustment in the prior year of S1.1 million
for operational surpluses since 2012 previously held by the Solid Waste Hauler.
Business-type expenses totaled nearly 526.3 million and included operating expenses of S24.8 million.
Net non-operating expenses of S1.8 million consist of interest on long-term debt and amortization of
premiums and discounts, net of investment income and expenses. Operating expenses increased by
91.7 million or 7 .2%o from prior year expenses of 523.2 million. This increase was largely attributable to
operating expenses of the Water and Sewer activities, which experienced higher water wholesale rates
25%1, and increases in personnel costs. The cost of insurance for these enterprises also went up a
com bined S325 thousand.
Still, the changes in net position (the year-over-year difference between business-type revenues plus
deferred outflows of resources, and expenses plus deferred inflows of resources) reported a healthy
increase for these enterprise activities. Unlike the governmental activities, program revenues cover total
expenses in the business-type activities, with no contribution from City taxes. The City is able to adjust
water, sewer, solid waste, parking rates, and building permit fees to cover expenditures and future
liabilities.
Governmental Funds
The Governmental Funds financial statements provide information on the short-term inflows, outflows,
and balances of resources that are available for spending over the 12-month fiscal period. The goals of
the funds are to have sufficient resources available to finance City services within each fiscal year. ln
particular, the unassigned fund balance may serve as a measure of City funds that are available for
spending in the short-term. The General Fund, Capital Proiects Fund, and the Debt Service Funds, or
collectively, the 'major funds' are reported separately in the basic Financial Statements. A separate
accounting of the City's ten non-major governmentalfunds can be found in the Combining Statements
located in the Other Supplementary lnformation section of the CAFR.

Governmental Funds (Continued)
General Fund
The General Fund is the City's main operating fund. Revenues and expenditures are monitored year-
round to maintain a balanced budget. General Fund revenues were 561.9 million in fiscal year 20L4-L5,
reflecting a S5.3 million increase from prior year performance of S55.6 million. Expenditures totaled
$44.4 million, which is S4.3 million more than prior year. Revenues were sufficient to cover all operating
expenditures. Revenues less operating expenditures before transfers were $17.5 million. The General
Fund transferred S5.3 million out to the Debt Service Fund to pay for governmental debt, and 57.9
million to the Capital Projects Fund to pay for project-related expenditures. Detailed notes on the
transfers can be found in the lnterfund Transfer section (Note 10 in the Notes to the Basic Financial
Statements).
The General Fund balance as of June 30, 2015, was S29.5 million, representing an increase of S6.6
million from the prior year fund balance of $22.9 million. Only $0.2 million of the fund balance was
categorized as "nonspendable"; the City Council assigned S18.3 million as reserves for specific purposes
as described in Note 1-O of the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements, and approximately $473
thousand represents contractual obligations which will carry forward to the next fiscal year
(encumbrances). The remaining S10.5 million represents unassigned amounts.
The chart below illustrates the amounts of General Fund balance assigned as various reserves for the
past five years. ln January 2015, the Council adopted a General Fund Reserve Policy which established
reserve levels based on an analysis of risks specific to the City, including vulnerability to extreme events
and public safety concerns, revenue source stability, expenditure volatility, liquidity, leverage, and
adequacy of infrastructure funding. The policy established targeted levels for an Economic Stability
Reserve and a Catastrophic Reserve (24% and 2%-9% of budgeted revenues, respectively), as well as a
Contingency Reserve amount of 5500 thousand. The actual reserve levels are adopted by resolution
with each annual budget, but may be modified by resolution throughout the year based on
recommendations by the Finance Director as economic forecasts or other changes dictate. Each reserve
is reported as an assignment ofthe City's General Fund balance.

General Fund (Continued)
As a measure of the General Fund liquidity, it is useful to compare its unrestricted fund balance (including
commitments and assignments of fund balance) to annual operating expenditures. As of June 30, 2015,
the unrestricted fund balance of 529.2 million (529.4 million less non-spendable fund balance of 5224
thousand) represents 65.8% of General Fund operating expenditures of 544.4 million.
Capital Proiects Fund
The Capital Projects Fund accounts for the resources used to acquire, develop, and construct capital
improvements or to purchase major capital equipment. The City capitalizes equipment with a cost basis
of at least 55,000 and has an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Structures, improvements, and
infrastructure with a value of at least 5250,000 are also capitalized. All capital assets are valued at
historical cost. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are
constructed. For more information on capital assets, please refer to the Notes to the Basic Financial
Statements under Capital Assets or Note l(i).
The Capital Projects Fund had revenues of 5742,486, received in large part from state and local grants
(5328 thousand) including the State-Local Partnership Program (SLPP) and the One Bay Area (Federal)
Grants, which funded streetlight upgrades, street resurfacing and repair. Other government entities,
such as the Town of Hillsborough, shared in the cost of the Sanchez Area Sewer Rehabilitation effort
(S240 thousand). Private entities participated in the City's 50/50 Sidewalk Program, funding nearly S175
thousand in sidewalk repairs. Projects were funded mainly by S22.1 million in transfers from other
funds to support ongoing construction costs and to set aside funds for previously appropriated projects.
ln fiscal year 2014-15, 54.5 million of bond proceeds were transferred in to the Capital Projects Fund for

Debt Service Fund (Continued)
subsidy of approximately $154 thousand for the 2010 issuance. Debt service expenditures represent
principal payments, interest charges, and administrative costs of debt such as fiscal agent fees on
existing governmental debt.
A more detailed description of the City's outstanding debt and the long-term obliBations associated with
each issue can be found in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements under Long-Term Debt (Note 5).
The Storm Drainage Fund was added as a special revenue fund in fiscal year 2009-10 to fund needed
improvements to the City's infrastruciure and to pay debt service on certain revenue bonds issued to
fund storm drain capital projects. The voter-approved initiative requires that the funds be accounted for
separately, given their intended purpose. The voters approved the new fee in May 2009, and revenues
are collected through an assessment on property tax bills. The storm drain fee will sunset after 30 years.
Neighborhood storm drainage improvements continued in fiscal year 2013-14. As in the prior year, the
storm drain fee generated 52.7 million in revenue. The funds are dedicated to debt service on the use of
storm drain revenue bonds and to fund improvements on a poy-as-you-go basis. Revenue bonds issued
with a pledge of storm drain fee revenues are used as a funding source for these projects in the Capital
Projects Fund.
With assets and liabilities that now exceed the 10% threshold, the Storm Drainage Fund qualifies as a
major governmental fund, and is therefore presented separately in the fund financial statements. The
fund balance increased S1.0 million, to nearly 52.6 million as revenues from the storm drain fee
exceeded combined capital appropriations and debt service expense for the fiscal year.
Non-Major Governmental Funds
The Measure A and Gas Tax Funds are the largest of the City's non-maior governmental funds, together
constituting approximately 63.5o/o of non-major fund balance. The revenues for these two funds
remained level with the prior year at nearly S1.7 million, and served to fuel traffic and street
improvements in the Capital Projects Fund. Non-major governmental fund balances in total increased
50.8 million, as revenues received in these funds exceeded the expenditures associated with the legally
specified purpose of each of the funds.
Proprietarv Funds
The City's proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information found in the government-
wide financial statements. Proprietary funds consist of the City's six enterprise funds (Water, Sewer,
Waste Management, Landfill, Parking, and the Building Enterprise funds) and six lnternal Service Funds
(General Liability, Workers' Compensation, Facilities Services, Equipment Services, OPEB and
lnformation Technology Services funds). Operations of the City's Enterprise funds are accounted for as
business activities.

Proprietarv Funds (Continued)
lnternal Service Funds
The lnternal Revenue Funds are allocated among the City's various functions and are therefore
considered to account for governmental activities for financial statement purposes. The internal
revenue funds experienced an increase in net position of 52.1 million. St.g million of this increase was
due to changes in actuarial estimates of current and expected claims for general liability, based on an
actuarial study completed in August 2015. The Facilities Services Fund reported a net negative ending
position, as the prior year's position was restated to include a SZSO thousand pension liability for the
fund.
Water Fund
The Water Fund continues to maintain a stable financial position as in the prior year. Despite lower sales
volumes due to calls for conservation as a result of drought conditions, the ending net position of the
fund including net investment in capital assets increased S2.O milllon (11.8%). Unrestricted net position
(which excludes net investment in capital assets) totaled 58.9 million, a decrease of S0.3 million from
prior year.

Water Fund (Continued)
Water revenues decreased in fiscal year 20L4-I5 by 5688 thousand, a 4.2% decrease, largely reflective
of the decreased sales volumes (approximately 23% - nearly 248 million gallons less than in the prior
fiscal year). The decrease volume was offset in part by a7.8o/o rate increase that went into effect on
January L,20\5, for all customer classes.

Sewer Fund
The Sewer Fund continues to maintain a stable financial as in the prior year. The fund's overall net
position (including capital assets) grew by 9.2% from 538.5 million to nearly S42.1 million. Net
investment in capital assets increased nearly $2.6 million as associated debt payable decreased by 51.5
million, and assets were placed in service from construction in progress (54.5 million). The largest
portion of net position (533.6 million) relates to net investment in capital assets, representin g79.8% of
total net position. An unrestricted net position of 58.1 million reflects an increase of S1.6 million from
the prior year, a reflection of the positive results of operations for the year. Approximately 29% of net
revenue is irrevocably pledged to the prompt payment of debt service relating to future payments of
principal and interest on revenue bonds previously issued.

Parking Fund
The goals of the Parking Fund are to cover the costs of operating and improving the City's parking
districts and to produce sufficient revenue to re-invest in the capital assets of the Burlingame and
Broadway Avenue shopping districts, which are served by the City's parking lots. The fund's overall
ending net position, including capital assets, increased by LO.9% or $861thousand over the prior year
ending net position of S7.9 million. Because much of thefund (56.9 milllon)is invested in capitalassets,
the increase is reported in unrestricted net position, and largely reflected in highercash balances.
Revenue in the Parking Fund increased by Sgl thousand (3.6%), due primarily to an increase in parking
activity. Largely concentrated in the City's retail centers, the increase is reflective of continued
economic growth as well as the completion of the Burlingame Avenue Streetscape Project.

Parking expenses increased by 9.5% due to increased due to higher employee benefit costs, which now
include contributions to the retiree health liability.
Waste Management and Landfill Funds
The City is a member of the South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA), a joint powers
authority that contracts with external vendors for solid waste collection and disposal as well as
collection of inert recyclable materials, yard waste and other organic materials. The Waste ManaBement
Fund accounts for certain other services that are provided or paid for directly by the City. The costs of
these services, which include the cleaning of sidewalks, parking lots and garbage cans/liners, door-to-
door hazardous waste pickup and street sweeping, are built into garbage collection rates for both
residential and commercial customers. Operating revenues ofthe fund totaled 5943 thousand.
ln addition, a surcharge on garbage collection rates fund the costs associated with the long-term
monitoring requirements of the former city tandfill. ln fiscal year 2013-L4, landfill operations were
separated out from other waste management activities and are now accounted for in a separate fund.
The Landfill Fund reports a deficit position of 52.5 million due to the status of the City's obligation to
mediate closure and post-closure activities relating to the City's old landfill. On an annual basis, the City
reports to CalRecycle (Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery) the estimated costs of post-
closure and corrective action as adjusted for inflation and current year expenditures pertaining to
mediation. The landfill closure and post closure liability decreased only slightly (S52 thousand) during
the fiscal year, and the ending net position was improved by 5378 thousand.
Detailed information on variances can be found in the Budgetary comparison Schedule - General Fund,
Note 6 in the Required Supplementary lnformation section ofthis report.
The adopted fiscal year 2014-15 General Fund budget assumed fairly robust gains in operating revenue,
based on economic recovery evidenced in the prior two years. Revenue growth of 9.4% was forecast
overthe revenues anticipated inthe prior year's adopted budget. Final collections totaled S61.9 million,
an increase of nearly 11.3% over prior year actuals.
Several key revenue budgets were adjusted upward at mid-year to reflect improvements in General
Fund receipts. Still, overall revenues exceeded the year's adjusted budget by $2 million (3.3%).

The fiscal year 20L4-L5 adopted General Fund budget assumed operating expenditures of 547.9 million, a
growth of L2.6% from the prior year budget. The increase was largely due to the inclusion of the full cost
of retiree medical benefits in the departmental budgets. During the fiscal year, the City did not have any
significant mid-year budget adjustments; budgets were closely monitored City wide, as reflected in
positive budget variances in all departments. Total budgetary savings for the fund were approximately

Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
lmprovements that lengthen an asset's useful life are not capitalized unless the improvements increase
its service potential, Furthermore, maintenance costs are expensed in the period incurred. The City
maintains an inventory of roads and parking lots and performs periodic assessments to establish the
condition levels.
The City uses the modified approach for roads and parking lots as alternative to depreciation. Additional
information can be found in the CAFR's Required Supplementary lnformation, Note 5 - Modified
Approach for the City's lnfrastructure.
As reported in the Statement of Net Position, capital assets for the governmental and business-type
activities totaled 5212.4 million on June 30,20L5, net of depreciation. Capital assets increased by 2.5%
from priorfiscalyear. The investments in capitalassets include:land, construction in progress, buildings,
improvements, machinery and equipment, facilities, roads, streets, and storm drains.

Capital Assets (Continued)
All depreciable capital assets were depreciated from their acquisition date to the end of the current
fiscal year for the government-wide financial statement presentation. Governmental fund financial
statements record capital asset purchases as expenditures during the year. Ongoing projects are
accounted for as "construction in progress." Additional information about Capital Assets can be found in
the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements under Note 4 - Capital Assets.
Long-Term Obligations
Due to implementation of the (GASB) Governmental Accounting Standards Board's new pension
reporting rules, encapsulated in GASB Statements No. 68 and No. 71, the City's Statement of Net
Position reflects unfunded pension liabilities. The GASB standards now require the City to compute its
unfunded liabilities by ascertaining "net pension liability" or the difference between a plan's total
pension liability and the assets available to pay for such liability at a specific time. ln implementing this
standard and reporting a net pension liability for the first time, a restatement of prior year's net position
was required. As of June 30,2075, the net pension liability for the City was computed to be 541.8
million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANATYSIS
FOR THE FISCAT YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
Long-Term obligations (Continued)
As of June 30, 2015, the City had total long-term debt obligations of 5176.3 million, an increase of 532.8
million from the prior year. The increase was due to the posting of a net pension liability of $41.8
million. Most other long-term obligations decreased in the fiscal year. Nearly 80% of all long-term
obligations relate to long-term debt; approximately half of this is due to loans and revenue bonds
previously issued to support various capital pro.lects overseen by the Water and Sewer enterprises.
Short of additional debt financings, these obligations will decrease over time as principal amounts are
paid off.
ln addition, the City has several other long-term obligations. Landfill closure and post-closure liabilities
are determined in order to capture the estimated cost of municipal solid waste landfill closure and post-
closure care as required by federal and state regulations. Funds are then set aside to ensure adequate
funding for the post-closure costs of the former Burlingame landfill, including the annual costs of
monitoring and maintaining the former landfill, as the costs are incurred. Funding for this liability is
currently provided through a portion of solid waste rates charged to City ratepayers. Although the
liability for landfill post-closure care costs increased slightly due to change in anticipated future costs,
revenues to the fund were sufficient to offset this increase and provide a slight positive change of net
position in fiscal yeat 20l4-t5.
The City has an AA+ underlying general obligation credit rating, an AA+ rating for its water and
wastewater debt, and an A+ rating for the storm drain debt as issued by Standard & Poor's Rating
Service. The AA+ general obligation credit rating was last re-affirmed in March 2014. ln fiscal year 201.4-
15, the city had fourteen outstanding bonds or loans, including a taxable bond issue for pension
obligations, two loans from the State of California Water Resources Control Board for improvements to
the Burlingame Wastewater Treatment Plant, one capital lease, a loan from the California Energy
Commission, and a storm drain revenue bond issued under the lnternal Revenue Service's Build America
Bond program. The City annually evaluates each outstanding debt obligation that is subject to arbitrage
rebate requirements and determined that there was no arbitrage rebate liability as of June 30, 2015.

Because the pension obligation bonds constitute debt to be repaid with general government resources,
they are considered to be a form of general obligation debt. As of June 30, 2015, the City's general
obligation debt was comprised of only these outstanding bonds, totaling $17.7 million. The debt limit
was calculated to be $299.0 million, based on total assessed valuation, in accordance with California
Government Code Section 43605.

Debt Adminirtration (Continued)
Additional information pertaining to the City's outstanding long-term debt can be found under Long-
Term Debt Note 5 - Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements and in the Statistical
Section under Legal Debt Margin information.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget and Rates
The following factors were taken into consideration in preparing the fiscal year 2015-16 budget
Revenue Projections: The City prepared a five-year forecast of revenues and expenditures for the
General Fund. The adopted budget for 2015-16 assumed growth of approximately 10.1% in total
General Fund revenue before transfers compared to the prior year adopted budget, largely due to
positive changes in the economy evident in the 2014-15 fiscal (prior) year to date.
Expenditures: General Fund operating expenditures are expected to grow approximalely 3.9%. 20t5-16
departmental budgets of 549.4 million provides for increases in pension costs, health care premiums for
active employees, and slight increases in capital outlay. overall appropriations including transfers
(559.9 million) rctlecl a 9.L% increase from the 2014-15 adopted budget, as the City Council also set
aside 53 million to fuelthe City's new Renewal & Replacement Reserve in the Capital Projects Fund.
General Fund Capital lmprovements: The City Council earmarked S4.0 million for capital improvements
in the Five Year CIP Plan.
Water and Sewer Rate Adiustments: Water and sewer rate adjustments, usually implemented early in
the calendar year, are awaiting the completion of rate studies for these utilities. The draught has had
significant impact on both water and sewer operations, and increases in the cost of wholesale water
would indicate that future rate increases are to be expected to increase. Note that a progressively
tiered rate structure is in place for most single-family residential customers. The tiered structure allows
for increased volumetric charges for higher water units consumed. Sewer charges are largely based on
water consumption.
Solid Waste Rate Adjustments: The City provides solid waste services through a joint exercise of
powers agreement (JPA) and a franchise with a private contractor. Rates are adjusted each calendar
year based on updated costs of solid waste collection and material processing service, including landfill
post-closure costs, street sweeping, recycling and other diversion programs. No solid waste rate
adjustment is proposed for calendar year 2016.

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different
because:
CAPITAL ASSETS TRANSACTIONS
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense.
The capital outlay expenditures are added back to fund balance.
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the government-wide statement of
activities, but it does not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore,
depreciation expense is deducted from the fund balance.
LONG.TERM DEBT PROCEEDS AND PAYMENTS
Governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts,
and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are
deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net
effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related
items.
Accrued interest calculated on bonds payable
Amortization of bond premium
Pension Expense - GASB 68
The repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial
resources of governmental funds. This transaction, however, has no effect on net
position:
Principal payments
ACCRUAL OF NONCURRENT ITEMS
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental
funds.
This change reflects a decrease in compensated absences that occurred during the
year.
Net other post-employment benefits obligation expense
ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ACTIVITY
lnternal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, such as fleet management, building maintenance, information
technology, and risk management, to individualfunds. The portion of the net
revenue (expense) of these lnternal Service Funds arising out of their
transactions with governmental funds is reported with governmental
activities because they service those activities.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2015
NOTE 1 - SUM RY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI NG POLICIES
A, Definition of the Reporting Entity
The City of Burlingame (the city) was incorporated in 1908 as a California general law city.
Burlingame is a full-service city providing all municipal services, including police, fire, library, parks,
recreation, street and storm drain maintenance, and water and sewage treatment. lt is governed by
a five member City Council, whose members are each elected to a four year term. The Mayor of the
City is a one-year rotating chair of the City Council. As a government agency, the City is exempt from
both federal income taxes and state franchise taxes.
The accompanying financial statements present the City and its component units, entities for which
the City is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally
separate entities are, in substance, part of the City's operations and so data from these units are
combined with data of the City as the primary government. For financial reporting purposes, the
city's financial statements include all funds, boards and commissions, and authorities that are
controlled by or are dependent on the City's legislative branch, the City Council. Control by or
dependence on the City was determined on the basis of budget adoption, taxing authority,
outstanding debt, or the City's obligation to fund any deficits that may occur.
Blended Component Units
The following unit is a legally separate component unit for which the City is financially accountable,
and therefore, the related financial activities have been blended with the City's financial reporting:
ln November 1995, the City formed an authority known as the Burlingame Financing Authority
(Authority). The Authority provides services entirely to the City. The purpose of this Authority is to
issue bonds to finance the construction of public capital improvements through the lease of certain
land and existing improvements or a pledge of revenue. Facilities may be leased by the Authority to
the City pursuant to a lease agreement.
The Authority is comprised of members of the City Council. The City and the Authority have a
financial and operational relationship and the financial activities of the Authority have been included
in the financial statements of the City as a blended component unit. The Authority's financial
activities are presented in the Debt Service Fund as part of the governmental fund statements. The
books and records of the Authority are maintained by the city. Additional financial data for the
Authority may be obtained from the Finance Department, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, CA
94010.

A. Definition of the Reporting Entity (Continued)
Non-Disclosed Organizations
There are other agencies that provide services within the City, which are independently governed,
and also maintain financial books and records that are separate from the City.
Aoencv Funds
The fiduciary fund consists of various agency funds, which account for various programs, activities,
or funds held by the City in a custodial capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations,
and other government units. The City's basic financial statements, except for certaln cash held by
the City as a fiscal agent, do not reflect, for example, the operations of the Burlingame School
District, the Burlingame Library Trustees, nor the Hotel and Business lmprovement Districts. A
complete listing of agency funds can be found in the Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements.
Centrol County Fire Depdrtment
Effective July 1, 2010, City fire employees became employees of Central County Fire Department
(CCFD). CCFD is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) which provides fire, emergency medical, and disaster
preparedness services to the City and the Town of Hillsborough. CCFD is governed by a four member
board of directors and a Chief Administrative Officer. Generally, the City is allocated 60% of total
direct costs in support of the ongoing operations and maintenance of CCFD, whose administration,
books, and records are maintained by the Town of Hillsborough and are therefore, sub.iect to a
separate annual audit. This cost allocation is reflected as a receivable (if total actual direct costs are
less than budgeted or expected direct costs) or payable (if total actual direct costs exceed budgeted
or expected direct costs) on the City's Statement of Net Position. CCFD is a stand-alone employer
recognized by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS).
B. Basis of Accountin& Measurement Focus, and Presentation
The City's basic financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is
the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting
standards followed by governmental entities.
GASB requires that the accounts of the City be organized on the basis of funds, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. Fund accounting segregates funds accordinB to their
intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related
legal and contractual provisions. The operations of each fund are accounted for in a separate set of
self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures
or expenses, as appropriate. City resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds
based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities
are controlled.

NOTEl-SUMMARYO F SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PO LICIES (Continued)
Financial reporting standards established by GASB require that the financial statements described
below be presented.
The Government-Wide Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of
Activities. These statements present summaries of Governmental and Business-Type Activities, and
represent a consolidation of all financial activities for the entire City. Fiduciary activities of the City
are not included in these statements.
The Government-Wide Financial Statements are presented on an economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as arethe proprietaryfunds Accordingly, all ofthe City's
current and long-term assets and liabilities, including capital assets, infrastructure assets, and long-
term liabilities, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Position as of June 30. The
Statement of Activities presents changes in net position since July 1, the beginning of the fiscal year.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are
earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred, regardless of
the timing of the related cash flows. For example, property tax revenue is recognized in the year of
levy, and all other revenue is recognized when services have been rendered. The types of
transactions reported as program revenues for the City are reported in three categories: 1) charges
for services, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions.
Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB Statement No.34 in regards to
interfund activities, payables, and receivables, including the corresponding unearned revenues. All
internal balances in the Statement of Net Position have been eliminated except those representing
balances between the governmental activities and the business-type activities, which are presented
as internal balances and eliminated in the total primary government column. ln the Statement of
Activities, internal service fund transactions have been eliminated. However, transactions between
governmentaland business-type activities have not been eliminated.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures, and changes in Fund Balances for all major governmental funds and nonmajor funds
aggregated. An accompanying schedule is presented to reconcile and explain the differences in net
position as presented in these statements to the net position presented in the Government-Wide
Financial Statements. The City has presented all major funds that met the qualifications for major
fund reporting.

Governme ntol Fund Fi nonc iol Stotements lcontinuedl
Major funds are funds whose revenues, expenditures/expenses, assets, or liabilities (excluding
extraordinary items) are at least 10% of corresponding totals for all governmental or enterprise
funds and at least 5% of the aggregate amount for all governmental and enterprise funds. The
identification and separate reporting of major funds serves to highlight financial activities which may
be particularly important to financial statement users. Nonmajor funds are reported in aggregate in
a separate column in the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes
in Fund Balances.
The City reports the following major governmental fu nds
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. lt is used to account for all financial
resources and transactions except those required to be accounted for in another fund
The Debt Se tce FU nd is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the
pavment of, general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs (other than those paid
by the proprietary funds).
All governmentalfunds are accounted for on a spending or current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current
liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes
in Fund Balances presents increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases
(expenditures and other financing uses) in current net position.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in
which they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period.
Accordingly, revenues are recorded when received in cash, except that revenues subject to accrual
(generally 60 days after year-end) are recognized when due.
The primary revenue sources, which have been treated as susceptible to accrual by the City, are
taxpayer-assessed tax revenues (such as property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and
franchise taxes), certain grant revenues, and earnings on investments.
52
The Storm Drainaee Fund is used to account for the storm drainage fees collected as a result of
an assessment approved by the ma.iority of the parcel owners in the City voting at a special
election on May 5, 2009.
The Capital Proiects Fund is used to account for resources used to acquire or develop facilities or
ma.ior capital improvements.

Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred,
except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and
compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured.
General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmentalfunds. Proceeds of
general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financlng
sourceS.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or
giving equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an
accrual basis of accounting, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which
the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal
year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Other revenues which may be accrued
include other taxes, intergovernmental revenues, interest, and charges for services.
Again, grant revenues are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements are met.
Under the terms of grant agreements, the City may fund certain programs with a combination of
cost-reim bu rsement grants and general revenues. Thus, both restrided and unrestricted net
position may be available to finance program expenses. lt is the City's policy to first apply restricted
resources to such programs, followed by unrestricted resources if necessary.
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Position; a Statement of
Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position; and a Statement of Cash Flows for each
ma;or proprietary fund. A column representing internal service funds is also presented in these
statements, However, internal service fund balances and activities are combined with the
Governmental Activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements.
The City reports the following major proprietary (enterprise) funds:
The Water Fund is used to account for the activities of the city's water su pply system.
The Sewer Fund is used to account for the activities of the C ity's sewage collection system and
the Wastewater Treatment Plant
The Waste Management Fund is used to account for the activities of the c
garbage collections and recycling program.

The Landfill Fund is used to account for the landfill closure costs and post-closure monitoring
services. The Landfill Fund was created in 2014 by separating landfill activities from the Waste
Management Fund. 53,088,654 of the Waste Management Fund beginning fund balance was
moved to the Landfill Fund in the year it was created.
The Bu ilding Fund is used to account for the activities of the C ity's building division.
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are
included on the statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in
Fund Net Position present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are
earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. ln these funds,
receivables have been recorded as revenue and provisions have been made for uncollectible
amounts. ln accordance with GASB Statement No.52, Accounting ond Finonciol Reporting for
Proprietory Funds ond Other Government Entities thot Use Proprietdry Fund Accounting, the City
applies all GASB pronouncements currently in effect as well as FASB Statements and lnterpretations,
APB Oplnions, and ARBS of the Committee on Accounting Procedure issued on or before November
30, 1989.
Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are those revenues that are generated from the
primary operations of the fund. The primary operating revenues of the City's enterprise and
internal service funds include water and sewer service, connection fees, sewer discharge permits,
garbage and recycling collection surcharges, building inspections, parking fees and permits,
information technology support, vehicle and facillties maintenance, and risk management activities
provided to the various departments in the City. All other revenues are reported as nonoperating
revenues. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of
the fund. All other expenses are reported as nonoperating expenses.
The lnternal Service are used to account for the servicing of self-insurance, allocation of
funding for the retiree medical benefit trust fund, vehicle maintenance and acquisition, facilities
maintenance, and information technology maintenance and acquisitions made for city departments

The Fiduciarv Funds are used to account for the resources held by the City in a custodial capacity or
as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other government units such as the State of
California, and/or other funds. The City maintains agency funds for the Library Trustees, the State of
California for seismic fees, Hotel and Broadway Business lmprovement Districts (BlDs) fees, building
standards administration, the elementary and high school districts, Emergency Medical Services for
County-wide training, Quality of Work Life Committee and for the Downtown Business lmprovement
District, and unclaimed property from the police department and City. Fiduciary Fund Financial
Statements include a Statement of Net Position and represent the related activity for the City's
Agency Funds.
C. Basis of Budgeting
A formal budget is employed as a management control device during the year for the City, and is
adopted annually for all City funds, except for the fiduciary funds and certain special revenue funds
where appropriate. Consistent with most governmental entities, the City's budget is based on a
modified accrual basis of accounting under which revenues are recognized in the period they
become available and measurable, and expenditures are recognized in the period the related
liability is incu rred.
The city budget includes information regarding estimated costs (or outlays) and revenue (or cash
inflows) for identified programs, projects, and levels of service to meet the needs of the City. All
annual appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year except in the Capital Pro.iects Fund because
capital improvement projects typically span more than one fiscal year. Appropriations for capital
projects lapse when projects are completed, placed into service, accounted for as capital assets, or
abandoned at the discretion of the City and/or City Cou ncil.
Budget amendments that increase a fund's appropriations require ma.iority approval by the City
Council. Certain budgetary re-allocations within departments require approval by the Finance
Director and department heads. Budget amendments between departments are approved by the
Finance Director and City Manager. A mid-year budget status report and long-term financial forecast
for the next five years is presented to the City Council as part of an ongoing assessment and
evaluation of budgetary performance, with special attention to the General Fund and certain other
major funds.
Budgetary financial data is included in the basic financial statements for the General Fund and storm
Drainage Fund. Final budgetary data excludes the amount reserved for encumbrances in order to
properly compare these amounts to actual expenditures.

C. Basis of Budgeting (Continued)
Budoet Development ond Adoption
The City Council encourages all Burlingame residents and business community members to
participate in the development of the City budget. The Council holds three public meetings to
provide guidance on the budget: a goal-setting session in January, and budget study sessions in
March and May. The City Council solicits input at each of the meetings. Community members may
also submit their ideas directly to City staff.
Under these policy directives and guidance, departments prepare their budget requests in support
of their programs in January for submission in early April. Expenditure assumptions are based on
known factors such as collective bargaining agreements, current pay and benefit policies, consumer
price indices, and other information available from expert third-parties or governing authorities.
Budget requests are reviewed by the Finance Department for technical compliance to City budget
instructions. The Proposed Budget is prepared and delivered to the City Council in May. The City
Council reviews the Proposed Budget before the final budget is formally adopted in June at a public
hearing, which gives residents an additional opportunity to comment on the spending plan.
Expenditures exceeded budgetary appropriations for the year ended June 30, 2015, as follows:
Nonmajor Governmental Funds
LocalGrants Fund 153,061
The City does not include an estimated revenue assumption in the budget for local grants because
these amounts represent one-time revenues. As such, the related expenses are treated as one-time
in nature. Therefore, no annual appropriation is assumed.
D. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and lnvestments
Cash ofthe respective funds is pooled and invested principally in U.s. Treasury and agency securities
and short-term investments such as the State of california (State) Local Agency Investment Fund
(LAIF) and the San Mateo County lnvestment Pool.
The LAIF is a pool of State cash and investments and those of California cities and local agencies. The
State's investment policy is consistent with the City's policy, and, although State and City
investments are pooled, the state does not have access to city funds. The State Treasurer
administers [AlF, which charges for the service by retaining a percentage of investment earnings,
not to exceed 0.25%. State regulations permit the city to place up to $50,000,000 in LAIF, plus any
bond proceeds related to construction of a City facility.

The San Mateo County (the County) Pooled lnvestment Fund is managed by the County Treasurer,
and, as required by State law, an investment advisory committee made up of representatives of
those cities and local agencies who invest in the pool meets quarterly with the County Treasurer to
review the investment portfolio. The County's investment policy is consistent with the City's policy,
and although the City's and County's investments are pooled, the County does not have access to
City funds.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the City considers cash and cash equivalents to be
cash on hand, demand deposits, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less at the time of acquisition. ln accordance with GASB Statement No.37, Accounting
ond Findncidl Reportinq for Certain lnvestments ond for Externol lnvestment Pools, highly liquid
market investments with maturities of one year or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized
cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. Market value is used as fair value for those
securities for which market quotations are readily available. lnterest income from investment of
pooled cash is allocated to the funds based on monthly cash balances.
lnvestments are presented at fair value except as noted below. The fair value of participants'
position in the investment pools is the same as the value of the investment pools' shares and
investment income includes changes in fair value (i.e., realized and unrealized gains or losses).
Money market funds (such as short-term, highly liquid debt instruments including bankers'
acceptances and securities notes, bills, and bonds of the U.S. government and its agencies), and
participating interest-earning investment contracts (such as negotiable certificates of deposit,
certificates of deposit, and repurchase agreements) that have a remaining maturity at the time of
purchase of one year or less, are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value.
ln accordance with GASB Statement No.40, Deposit dnd lnvestment Disclosures (Amendment of

E. Accounts Receivable
The City accrues revenue at fiscal year-end, and receivables are shown net of an allowance for
uncollectible accounts. The City periodically evaluates outstanding receivables to identify those that
are more likely than not to be uncollected.
The water and sewer utilities are billed bi-monthly. Revenue is recorded as billed to customers on a
cyclical basis. The City accrues for earned but unbilled water and sewer services at June 30. The
policy of the City is not to recognize an allowance for uncollectible accounts for the Water and
Sewer Funds due to historically high collectability rates and the ability of the City to seek collection
of delinquent service charges as a special assessment lien.

Capital assets, which include land, roads and parking lots, buildings and structures, improvements
other than buildings, machinery and equipment, infrastructure assets, and construction in progress,
are reported in the applicable governmentalor business-type activities columns in the government-
wide financial statements. The City capitalizes equipment and improvements having an estimated
useful life in excess of one year and acquisition cost of at least 55,000.
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is
not available. contributed and donated capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value
on the date contributed. Furthermore, the book value of grant-funded assets is shown net of any
grant reimbursement revenue. Capital outlay is recorded as expenditures in the General, Capital
Projects, and other governmental funds and as an asset in the government-wide financial
statements to the extent that the City's capitalization threshold is met. Major outlays for capital
assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. The costs of normal
maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives
are not capitalized. lnterest incurred during the construction phase of the capital assets of business-
type activities is reflected in the capitalized value ofthe asset constructed, net of interest earned on
the invested proceeds over the same period.

l. Capital Assets (Continued)
Except for roads and parking lots covered by the modified approach, depreciation has been
provided on capital assets excluding land and construction in progress. Depreciation of all capital
assets is charged as an expense against operations each year and the total amount of depreciation
taken over the years, called accumulated depreciation, is reported on the Statement of Net Position
as a reduction in the book value of capital assets.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method which means the cost of the asset is divided
by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is
fully depreciated. The City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets.

The modified approach is an alternative to depreciation that may be applied for eligible
infrastructure capital assets. The City has elected to follow the modified approach for paved roads
and parking lots. No depreciation is reported for these assets nor are amounts capitalized in
connection with improvements that lengthen the lives of the roads and parking lots, unless the
improvements also increase their service potential. Rather, costs for both maintenance and
preservation of these assets are expensed in the period incurred. The City maintains an inventory of
the roads and parking lots and performs periodic condition assessments to establish the condition
levels of the systems. Additional information regarding the condition of paved roads can found in
the required supplementary information.
Please refer to Note 4 for additional information about capital assets.
lntonqible Assets
Artwork and historical artifacts of the City held for public exhibition or promotion of education and
public service rather than financial gain are not capitalized and are expensed when incurred. As of
June 30, 2015, the City does not have intangible assets.
50
ln 2010, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 51, Accounting ond Financiol Reporting for lntangible
Assets. GASB Statement No.51 established accounting and financial reporting requirements for
intangible assets to reduce inconsistencies, enhancing the comparability of the accounting and
financial reporting of such assets among state and local governments. The statement also provides
authoritative guidance that specifically addresses the nature of the intangible assets that are
internally created by the governmental entity. Examples of intangible assets include easements, land
use rights, and computer software. The City capitalizes intangible assets with an acquisition cost of
at least 55,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year.

J. Compensated Employee Absences
The City permits its employees to accumulate vacation hours up to a maximum of two years of
entitlement. Sick leave had been accumulated up to 1,440, 1,550, 2,080, or unlimited hours
depending on the bargaining unit. Effective December 1,2011, memorandums of understanding
with collective bargaining units capped sick leave accruals at 2,000 hours. lf vacation is not used by
the employee during the term of employment, compensation is payable to the employee at the time
of retirement or termination. Such compensation is calculated at the employee's prevailing rate at
the time of retirement or termination.
At retirement, vacation is compensated at 100% of accumulated hours. Effective December 1, 2011,
cash payouts of accumulated and unused sick leave were eliminated. Upon termination only accrued
vacations are compensated. Such cash payments are recognized as expenditures of the
govern menta I fu nds in the year of payment.
Estimated unpaid vacation pay and sick pay at June 30 is accrued and recorded in the government-
wide and proprietary fund financial statements. The estimated obligation includes an amount for
salary-related payments (i.e., payroll taxes) associated with the vacation pay or sick leave. All retired
or terminated employees as of June 30 have been compensated for any accumulated vacation or
sick leave.
Please refer to Note 6 which includes information about the City's liability for compensated
absences for governmental and business-type activities.
K. lnventories and Prepaid ltems
lnventories are reported at a cost basis. The cost is recorded, using a weiShted average, as an
expenditure at the time an individual item is consumed rather than when purchased. lnventories
are reflected as nonspendable in the General Fund balance and are, therefore, unavailable for
appropriation. The City's inventory consists of small tools, supplies, and fuel.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements.
The inventories and prepaid items recorded in the governmental funds do not reflect current
appropriable resources and, thus, are reported as part of nonspendable fund balance.
L. Property Taxes
Property taxes are collected for a twelve-month period effective July 1 by the County Tax Collector.
Property tax is levied each September 1 on the assessed values as of the prior January 1 for all real
and personal property located in the City. Once the levy rates are approved, the actual claim to
property taxes arises and is enforceable. Taxes are billed once a year in late October and are payable
in two equal installments due by Decemberl0 and April 10 (of the following year). Taxes are
considered delinquent if paid after the due dates.

L. Property Taxes (Continued)
As a result of the implementation of Article Xlll (a) of the California State Constitution in fiscal year
L978-7979, the City does not have the power to levy property taxes or to set property tax rates
based on the financial requirements of the various funds. lnstead, the City receives remittances
from the county. These remittances are based either on a llat 1o/o rate applied to the fiscal year
Lg75-1976 full value of the property, or on 7Yo of the sales price of the property on sales
transactions and construction which occur after the fiscal year 1975-f976 valuation. Values on
properties (exclusive of increases related to sales transactions and construction) can rise at a
maximum of 2o/o per year or the amount of increases to the California Consumer Price lndex,
whichever is less. city property tax revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they
result in current receivables.
Article xlll (a), section 18, of the california state constitution allows property taxes in excess of the
1% limit to fund general obligation bond debt service when such bonds are approved by two-thirds
of the local voters.
On October L2, 1993, the County Board of Supervisors adopted and implemented the Alternative
Method of Tax Apportionment (Teeter Plan). The Teeter Plan applies to secured taxes only and
provides a consistent predictable cash flow for taxes since they are apportioned to the City as if the
tax levy had been collected in full.
ln 2009, the State shifted 8% of local property tax revenue as part of a long-term borrowing tactic to
balance the State budget, under Proposition 14.
M. Long-Term Debt
Government-Wide Finoncidl Stdtements
ln the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other financial obligations are
reported as liabilities in the appropriate activities or proprietary funds. Bond premiums, discounts,
and deferred gains and losses at refunding are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds
using the straight-line method. lssuance costs are expensed in the year incurred.
The governmentalfund financial statements do not present long-term debt, which is shown in the
Reconciliation ofthe Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Government-Wide Statement of Net
Position.

N. Pollution RemediationObligations
The City has adopted GASB Statement No. 49, Accounting ond Finonciol Reporting for Pollution
Remediotion Obligations, which includes instructions for governments on the financial reporting and
disclosure of a liability relating to pollution remediation. According to GASB Statement No. 49, the
City is required to estimate its expected outlays for pollution remediation and accrue for the
corresponding liability if any obligating events requiring reporting and disclosure occur:
o The City is compelled to take pollution remediation action because of an imminent
endangerment.
o The City violates a pollution prevention-related permit or license.
o The City is named, or evidence indicates that it will be named, by a regulator as a
responsible party or potentially responsible party for remediation, or as a government entity
responsible for sharing costs.
r The City is named, or evidence indicates that it will be named, in a lawsuit to compel
participation in pollution remediation.
o The City commences or legally obligates itself to commence pollution remediation.
The City has included a provision for landfill closure and post-closure costs relating to the activities
of the Landfill Fund as a noncurrent liability in its Statement of Net Position. Corrective action costs
for minor pollution remediation at the landfill are treated as a short-term obligation and post-
closure remediation costs are treated as a long-term obligation.
O. Fund Balance - Governmental Fund Statements

O. Fund Balance - Governmental Fund Statements (Continued)
GASB Statement No. 54 requires governmental fund balances to be reported using five categories,
which take into consideration the makeup and intended use of the various fund balances. The
hierarchy of the five possible classifications of fund balance is:
Nonspendable fund balance generally means that it is not expected to be converted to cash
(e.9., inventories, prepaid expenses, land held for resale) for use by the government, or the
amount is required to be maintained intact (e.9., the principal of an endowment).
Restricted fund balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes
stipulated by external resource providers (e.g., creditors, grantors), constitutional provisions or
laws (e.9., State law, city charter, or voter referendum), or through enabling legislation (i.e.,
legislation that creates a new revenue source and restricts its use). Effectively, restrictions may
be changed or lifted only with the consent of resource providers (including voters).
Unrestricted fund balance consists of three categories
o Committed fund balance includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
determined by formal action of the City's highest level of decision-making authority (e.9.,
the City Council). Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the government taking the
same formal action that imposed the constraint originally.
o Assiqned fund balance comprises amounts intended to be used by the government for
specific purposes. lntent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official to whom
the governing body delegates the authority. ln governmental funds other than the General
Fund, assigned fund balance represents all amounts that are not classified as restricted or
committed. This is because resources in governmentalfunds other than the General Fund
a re to be used for the specific purpose of that fund.
o Unassiened fund balance is a residual (surplus) classification used for the General Fund only
and includes amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts in the
General Fund are technically available for anv ouroose. However, if a governmental fund,
other than the General Fund, has a fund balance deficit, il will be reported as a negative
amount in the unassigned classification in that fund. GASB Statement No.54 prohibits
reporting any excess balances in other funds. Balances must be assigned to a specific
purpose in all but the General Fund.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
restricted resources first, followed by unrestricted committed, assigned, and unassigned resources
as they are needed. The aggregate balance of unassigned fund balance was $10,465,052 as of June
30,201,5.

O. Fund Balance -Governmental Fund Statements (Continuedl
ln January 2015, the City Council adopted a General Fund Reserve Policy by resolution. The policy,
based on an analysis of risks specific to the City, establishes targeted levels for an Economic Stability
Reserve and a Catastrophic Reserve (24% and 2o/o-9Yo of budgeted revenues, respectively), as well as
a Contingency Reserve amount of 5500,000. The actual reserve levels are adopted by resolution
with each annual budget, or as recommended by the Finance Director based upon an update of the
City's fiscal needs or forecasts during the year. As the City Council and management can only use
reserves for purposes consistent with the purposes described in the policy, these reserve amounts
are reported as assignments of the General Fund's balance.
The Economic Stabilitv Reserve is available to protect and preserve City services from dramatic
drops in General Fund revenues that are highly sensitive to economic conditions, mainly sales
taxes and transient occupancy taxes. The balance at June 30, 2015, was S13,300,000.
The Catastrophic Reserve is available to make re pairs and reconstruct City buildings and facilities
that may be damaged by natural disasters or acts of war and terrorism. The balance at June 30,
2015, was 54,500,000.
The Contingency Reserve is available to cover une xpected expenses that may arise during the
course of the fiscal year that were not considered during budget planning. The balance at June
30, 2015, was S500,000.
Encumbrances re present amounts set aside for purchase requisitions and related vendors. The
balance at June 30,20L5,was 5472,578.
P, Net Position - Government-Wide Financial Statements
ln the government-wide financial statements, net position is classified in the following categories:
Net lnvestment in CaDital Assets - This amount consists of all capital assets net of accumulated
depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt that is attributed to the acquisition,
construction, or improvement of the assets.

regulations of other governments, or enabling legislation.
. Unrestricted - This amount consists of all net position that does not meet the definition of net
investment in capital assets or restricted. This represents the remaining net position of the City
which is not restricted for any purpose stated above.
Pursuant to the terms of the City's lndentures, certain revenues are irrevocably pledged to the
punctual payment of debt service on certain outstanding revenue and refunding bonds. Such
revenues are not used for any other purpose while any revenue and refunding bonds are
outstanding, except as expressly permitted by the lndentures. These amounts are recorded on the
Statement of Net Position as restricted, and may include principal and interest amounts set aside to
pay for debt service, unspent bond proceeds, and amounts that have been restricted for future
capital projects.
The City also maintains certain restricted amounts that are held in trust, which primarily consist of
various project and construction funds held by an outside fiscal agent. These typically relate to
previously issued revenue bonds for the Water and Sewer proprietary funds.
The City treats net position created from specially designated revenues for street repair and
maintenance as restricted, which relate to revenues from Measure A and the City's local share of
gas tax.
Net position created by revenues received from federal and State grants and subventions are
treated as restricted by the outside agency.
Q. Self-lnsurance for Risk Management and Workers' Compensation
The City is self-insured for general liability, property damage, and workers' compensation claims.
lnternal service funds are used to account for the City's self-insurance activities. lt is the City's policy
to provide in each fiscal year, by premiums charged to affected operating funds, amounts sufficient
for self-insurance program expenses and reserves associated with claims. Additional reserves are
maintained to protect against unusual losses beyond normal experience. The estimated liability for
claims and contingencies stated in the General Liability and Workers'Compensation lnternalService
Funds is actuarially determined and includes claims incurred but not reported.
R. Use of Estimates and Reclassifications
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.

custodidl credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for depos,b is the risk that the City will not be able to recover its deposits or will
not be able to recover collateral securities in the possession of an outside party if a depository
institution fails. The California Government Code and the city's investment policy do not contain
legal or policy requirements that would limit exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or
investments, other than the following provision applicable to deposits:
The carrying amounts of the City's cash deposits were 55,795,395 at June 30. Bankbalances before
reconciling items were 57,202,657 at that date, the total amount of which was collateralized or
insured with securities held by the pledging financial institutions in the City's name as discussed
above.
70
NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
A. Deposits
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to
secure the City's cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This code states that collateral
pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral
superior to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in
the City's name.
The fair value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the city's cash deposits. State law
also allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a
value of 150% of the City's total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements for cash
deposits, which are fully insured up to 5250,000 by the Federal Deposit lnsurance Corporation. The
City, however, has not waived the collateralization requirements.
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required
to be held by fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures. lnterest income earned on
pooled cash and investments is allocated on an accounting period basis to the various funds based
on the period-end cash and investment balances. lnterest income from cash and investments with
fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.

GASB Statement No.3L, Accounting and Findncidl Reporting for Certoin lnvestments and lor Externol
lnvestment Pools, applies to all the City's investments, even if they are held to maturity and
redeemed at full face value. Since it is the City's policy is to hold all investments to maturity, the fair
value adjustments required by GASB Statement No. 31 result in accounting gains or losses (called
"recognized" gains or losses) which do not reflect actual sales of the investments (called "realized"
gains or losses). Thus, recognized gains or losses on an investment purchased at par will not reflect
changes in its value at each succeeding fiscal year-end, but these recognized gains or losses will net
to zero if the investment is held to maturity. By following the requirements of GASB Statement No.
31, the City is reporting the amount of resources which would actually have been available if it had
been required to liquidate all its investments at any fiscalyear-end
GASB Statement No. 31 further requires that the City's investments be carrled at fair value instead
of cost. under GASB statement No. 31, the city must adjust the carrying value of its investments to
reflect their fair value at each fiscal year-end, and it must include the effects of these adjustments in
income for that fiscal year. GASB statement No. 31fair value adjustment for the City's investments
as ofJune 30, 2015, was a decrease of 5335,80L.
Credit Risk

or its equivalent or better by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). lt is the
City's policy to limit its investments in these investment types to the top rating issued by NRSROs,

C, lnvestments in LAIF
LAIF is a voluntary program created by statute in 1977. LAIF is part of the Pooled Money lnvestment
Account (PMIA). The PMIA began in 1955 and oversight is provided by the Pooled Money lnvestment
Board (PMIB) and an in-house lnvestment Committee. The PMIB members are the State Treasurer,
Director of Finance, and State Controller. The Local lnvestment Advisory Board (LIAB) provides
oversight for LAIF. LIAB consists of five mem bers as designated by statute.
The City's investments with LAIF at June 30 included a portion of the pooled funds invested in
Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. These investments included the following:
Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow
characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more
indices and/or that have embedded forwards or options.
Asset-Bocked Securities, which primarily consist of mortgage-backed securities, entitle their
purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest
repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO)) or credit
card receivables.
As of June 30, the City had $35,023,257 invested in LAIF. The LAIF fair value factor of 1.000375979 was
used to calculate the fair value of the investments in LAIF. The fair value of the City's position in the pool
is materially equivalent to the value of the pool shares. The financialstatements for LAIF areavailable in
the State Treasure/s Office website at www.treasurer.ca.gov.
D. lnvestments in San Mateo County Pooled lnvestment Fund
The City invests in the San Mateo County Pooled lnvestment Fund (SMCPIF), an external investment
pool. The pool determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for
those securities where market quotations are readily available, and valuations are based on
amortized cost or best estimate for those securities where market value is not readily available. The
responsibility for managing the SMCPIF resides with the County Treasurer. The County Board of
Supervisors, in consultation with the Treasurer, establishes an eight member County Treasury
Oversight Committee pursuant to California Government Code Section 27130. The investment
program is supervised within the guidelines set forth in the investment policy developed by the
Treasurer, reviewed and approved annually by the County Treasury Oversight Committee and the
county Board of Supervisors.
As of June 30, the City had 53,500,522 invested in sMCPlF. The SMcPlF fair value factor is
determined by dividing all SMCPIF participants' total agBregate fair value by total aggregate
amortized cost resulting in a factor of 0.99990. The financial statements for the San Mateo County
website at www.co.sanmateo.ca.usare available in the San Mateo County

D. Legal Debt Limit and Debt Margin
As of June 30, the City's debt limit was 5316,704,685. california Government Code, Section 43605
sets the debt limit at 15% of assessed value. The legal requirement was enacted when assessed
valuations were based on 25% of full market value. This has since changed to 100% of full market
value. Thus, the limit shown is 3.75% (one-fourth the limit of 15%). The total amount of debt
applicable to the debt limit, or outstanding general obligation debt, was S17,695,000. The resulting
legal debt margin was S299,009,685.
E, Arbitrage Rebate Liability
Under U.S. Treasury Department regulations, all governmental tax-exempt debt issued after August
31, 1986, is subject to arbitrage rebate requirements. The requirements stipulate, in Seneral, that
the excess of earnings from the investment of tax-exempt bond proceeds over related interest
expenditures on the bonds must be remitted to the federal government on every fifth anniversary
of each bond issue. The city has evaluated each outstanding debt obligation that is subject to
arbitrage rebate requirements and has determined that there is no arbitrage rebate liability as of
June 30,2015.

ABAG PLAN are subject to possible refund based on the results of actuarial studies and approval by
ABAG PLAN's board of directors. Premiums are assessed to the participants based on their individual
loss experience. General liability insurance coverage has been purchased by ABAG PLAN for losses

A. Self-lnsuranceand Contintent Liabilities(Continued)
The workers' compensation program is administered by a third-party administrator (TPA), Athens
Administrators. The TPA sets reserve levels for reported claims. Excess workers' compensation
insurance has been purchased by the city for losses exceeding 5500,000 up to the maximum
statutory limit.
The ABAG PLAN claim administrators set the reserve levels for known liability claims. The City's
liabilities are reported when it is both probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss
can be reasonably estimated. The claims and litigation liabilities are reported in the governmental
activities of the government-wide financial statements and in the internal service fund and include
an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported. The liabilities are re-evaluated
annually using the results of actuarial studies. The estimated liability for claims and litigation is
calculated considering recent claim settlement trends, amounts for claims incurred but not
reported, current settlements, frequency of claims, past experience, and economic factors.

NOTE 6 - OTHER LONG-LIABILITIES (Continued)
A. self-lnsurance and Contingent Liabilities (Continued)
ln August 2015, an actuarial study was conducted by the firm of Bickmore Risk Services to identify
the estimated liability for the City's Self-lnsured General Liability Program as well as determine the
various funding confidence levels to cover that liability. The study estimated the expected liability
for outstanding claims to be 5852,000 as of June 30, 2015. The study recommends thatthe city set
aside an amount in addition to the discounted expected loss costs to be set aside as a margin for
contingencies. As of June 30, 2015, the City has funded the general liability program at the 90%
confidence level noted in the actuarial report or 5852,000.
ln August 2015, an actuarial study was conducted and completed by the firm of Bickmore Risk
Services to identify the estimated liability for the city's Self-lnsured Workers' Compensation
Program as well as determine the various funding confidence levels to cover that liability as of lune
30, 2015. The study estimated that the outstanding claims at June 30, 2015, were S6,163,000. The
study also recommends that an amount be set aside as a margin for contingencies. As of June 30,
2015, the City has funded the workers' compensation program at the 70% confidence level noted in
the actuarial report or S6,163,000.
B. CompensatedAbsences
The city's compensated absences consist of accumulated vacation, compensatory time, and
administrative leave for management employees. The estimated unpaid compensated absences at
June 30 are recorded in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Additional
information about significant accounting policies over compensated absences can be found in Note

C. Pollution RemediationObligation
Londfill Closure ond Post-Closure Costs
The City closed the Burlingame Landfill located on Airport Boulevard in accordance with the
California Code of Regulations under the jurisdiction of the California lntegrated Waste
Management Board in 1987. The landfill had been filled to capacity and has been reconstructed as a
multi-use recreational facility.
State and federal laws and regulations require that the City perform certain maintenance and
monitoring functions at the landfill site. These same regulations require the City to make annual
contributions and/or provide an alternative funding mechanism to finance closure and post-closure
costs. The City has collected a surcharge on solid waste collection fees in order to cover these costs.
The City was also required by the Bay Area Air Quality Management Board to install a gas collection
system.

C. PollutionRemediationObligation(Continued)
Lo ndfi I I Closu r e o n d Post-Cl osu re Co sts (Co nti n u ed )
ln 1997, the City developed a post-closure plan that met all regulatory requirements. The post-
closure estimate was 53,660,000. ln 2008, the city recognized an additional liability, as required by
the State, for corrective action. The corrective action cost estimate was S733,100. Consequently, the
City recorded 100% of its closure and post-closure costs based upon these estimates. At June 30,
2015, the City's outstanding future post-closure and corrective action costs were estimated at
S3,082,927. This estimate is based upon the original estimates for post-closure and corrective action
costs as reported to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) as
adjusted, based on changes in the implicit price deflator for the gross national product in
accordance with Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations, reduced by any permitted 15 year
amortization of post-closure costs, and adjusted for incurred costs and expected costs of
remediation.
The City will fund ongoing post-closure costs with a combination of revenues from the surcharge
and interest earnings. However, if these revenues are inadequate or additional post-closure care
requirements are determined, these costs may need to be covered by additional garbage surcharges
or from future tax revenue.
D. Commitments and Contintent Liabilities
Grdnt Prooroms
The City may, from time to time, participate in Federal and State grant programs. No cost
allowances were proposed as a result of the City's financial audit. As of June 30, 2075, the City has
not made an allowance for expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies. Any
disallowance for expenditures is expected to be immaterial.
Litiaation
The City is subject to litigation arising in the normal course of business. ln the opinion of the City
Attorney, there is one case pending in which there is at least a possibility that the plaintiff could be
entitled to monetary damages. However, the City believes that its financial position would not be
adversely affected due to the availability of reserves in the remote event that the plaintiff prevails.

Contributions - Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law requires that
the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the
actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding
contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CaIPERS.
The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits
earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued
liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate
and the contribution rate of employees.
For the year ended June 30, 2015, the contributions recognized as part of pension expense for each
Plan were as follows:

The City's net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net
pension liability. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2014, and
the total pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by
an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013, rolled forward to June 30, 2014, using standard update
procedures. The City's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of City's
long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all
participating employers, actuarially determined.

20 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale BB.
The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2013
valuation were based on the results of a January 2014 actuarial experience study for the period
1997 to 2011. Further details ofthe Experience Study can found onthe CaIPERS website.
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50% for each
Plan. To determine whetherthe municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount
rate for each plan, CaIPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that
would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the
tested plans run out of assets. Therefore, the current 7.50% discount rate is adequate and the use
of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary. The long term expected discount rate of
7.5O% will beappliedtoall plansinthe Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF). The stress test
results are presented in a detailed report that can be obtained from the CaIPERS website.

B. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/lnflows of Resources Related to

According to Paragraph 30 of GASB Statement No. 68, the long-term discount rate should be
determined without reduction for pension plan administrative expense. The 7.50ok investment
return assumption used in this accounting valuation is net of administrative expenses.
Administrative expenses are assumed to be 15 basis points. An investment return excluding
administrative expenses would have been 7.65%. Using this lower discount rate has resulted in a
slightly higher Total Pension Liability and Net Pension Liability. CaIPERS checked the materiality
threshold for the difference in calculation and did not find it to be a material difference.
CaIPERS is scheduled to review all actuarial assumptions as part of its regular Asset Liability
Management (ALM) review cycle that is scheduled to be completed in February 2018. Any changes
to the discount rate will require Board action and proper stakeholder outreach. For these reasons,
CaIPERS expects to continue using a discount rate net of administrative expenses for GASB
Statements No. 67 and No. 58 calculations through at least the 2017-18 fiscal year. CaIPERS will
continue to check the materiality of the difference in calculation until such time as it has changed its
methodology.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each
major asset class.
ln determining the long-term expected rate of return, CaIPERS took into account both short-term
and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using
historical returns of all the funds' asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over
the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach.
Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of
benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single
equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the
one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then
set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one
quarter of one percent.

Catifornia Public Employees' Retirement System Healthcare Program (PEMHCA). The City pays
retiree healthcare benefits up to a cap for eligible retirees, dependent on bargaining unit and hire
date. No dental, vision, or life insurance benefits are provided. The plan is closed to new
employees.
Employees hired after November L,20LL, arc enrolled in a retiree health savings plan (RHS Plan)
after five years of service. Upon enrollment, the City contributes 2.0% of annual base bay into the
RHS Plan. After nineteen years of service, the City contributes 2.5% of annual base pay into the RHS
Plan.

ln September 2013, the City established an irrevocable trust to prefund its unfunded actuarially
accrued liability for retiree health care benefits. The California Benefit Trust Fund (CERBT), a multi-
employer trust, is administered by calPERS which also invests trust fund deposits made by the City
on behalf of retirees. The City pre-funds the Plan by contributing the City's ARC every year to the
CERBT. During fiscal year 2014-15, the City made deposits of 52,026,518 to the trust. As of June 30,
2015, the cash balance was S9,358,499.
C. Annual Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Cost and Net OPEB ObliSation
The ARC is an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement
No. 45. The ARC is equal to the normal cost, or proiected cost to cover the related obligation during
the year, plus a 23-year amortization of the unfunded actuarial liability at June 30, 2015.
The City's annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the Plan, and the
net OPEB obligation for fiscal year 2015 and the two preceding fiscal years were as follows:

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of expected benefit payments
and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the Plan and the ARC of the employer are subject to
continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are
made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as Required Supplementary
lnformation following the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements, presents multi-year trend
information about whether the actuarial value of Plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time
relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.

E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan
as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at
the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the
employer and Plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions include
techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued
liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the
calculations.
ln the January 1,20L3 actuarial valuation, the entry age normal actuarial cost method was used.
The actuarial assumptions included a 7.25% investment rate of return, pre-funding through the
CERBT, as well as ARC. An annual pre-Medicare and Medicare medicalcost trend of 8.0% and 8.3%
is assumed for HMOs and PPOs applied to actual 2014 premiums, with annual cost escalations
decreasing to 5% over 5 years. The UAAL is being amortized as a level dollar amount over 22years
on a closed basis, starting June 30,2012.

NOTE 3 - OT+IER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB}
The City of Burlingame Retiree Healthcare Plan (Plan) is a single-employer defined benefit healthcare
plan administered by the City. The Plan provides healthcare benefits to eligible retirees and their
dependents. Benefit provisions are established and may be amended through agreements and
memorandums of understanding between the City, its management employees, and unions
representing City employees. The City does not issue a separate financial report on the Plan, but
additional information can be found at Note 9 in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.
The City provides eligible retirees with retiree medical benefits through the California Public Employees'
Retirement System Healthcare Program (PEMHCA). The City pays retiree healthcare benefits up to a cap
for eligible retirees, dependent on bargaining unit and hire date. No dental, vision, or life insurance
benefits are provided. The Plan is closed to new employees.
ln September 2013, the City established an irrevocable trust to prefund its unfunded actuarially accrued
liability for retiree health care benefits. The California Benefit Trust Fund (CERBT), a multi-employer
trust, is administered by CaIPERS which also invests trust fund deposits made by the City on behalf of
retirees. The CERBT is a tax qualified irrevocable trust, orBanized under lnternal Revenue Code (lRC)
Section 115, established to pre-fund OPEB as described in Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No. 45. The CERBT issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial

REQUIRED SUPPTEMENTARY INFORMATION (Continued)
FOR THE FISCAT YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015
A formal budget is employed as a management control device during the year for the City, and is
adopted annually for all City funds, except for the fiduciary funds and certain special revenue funds
where appropriate. Consistent with most governmental entities, the City's budget is based on a
modified accrual basis of accounting under which revenues are recognized in the period they become
available and measurable, and expenditures are recognized in the period the related liability is incurred.
Budgets for the General Fund and Special Revenue Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
The City budget includes information regarding estimated costs (or outlays) and revenue (or cash
inflows) for identified programs, projects, and levels of service to meet the needs of the City. All annual
appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year except in the Capital Projects Fund because capital
improvement projects typically span more than one fiscal year. Appropriations for capital projects lapse
when projects are completed, placed into service, accounted for as capital assets, or abandoned at the
discretion of the City and/or City Council.
Budget amendments that increase a fund's appropriations require majority approval by the City Council.
Certain budgetary re-allocations within departments require approval by the Finance Director and
department heads. Budget amendments between departments are approved by the Finance Director
and City Manager. A mid-year budget status report and long-term financial forecast for the next five
years is presented to the City Council as part of an ongoing assessment and evaluation of budgetary
performance, with special attention to the General Fund and certain other major funds.
The City Council encourages all Burlingame residents and business community members to participate in
the development ofthe City budget. The Council holds three public meetings to provide guidance on the
budget: a goal-settin8 session in January, and budget study sessions in March and May. The City Council
solicits input at each of the meetings. Community members may also submit their ideas directly to City
staff.
Under these policy directives and guidance, departments prepare their budget requests in support of
their programs in January for submission in early April. Expenditure assumptions are based on known
factors such as collective bargaining agreements, current pay and benefit policies, consumer price
indices, and other information available from expert third-parties or governing authorities.
Budget requests are reviewed by the Finance Department for technical compliance to City budget
instructions. The Proposed Budget is prepared and delivered to the City Council in May. The City Council
reviews the Proposed Budget before the final budget is formally adopted in June at a public hearing,
which gives residents an additional opportunity to comment on the spending plan.
A separate publication presenting this information is available from the City of Burlingame, Finance
Department, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, CA 94010. General Fund and Storm Drainage Fund
Budgetary Comparison Schedules are also included in the Required Supplementary lnformation, which
has information regarding budget to actual performance for the General Fund and Storm Drainage Fund.

NOTE 5 - MODIFIED APPROACH FOR THE CITY,S INFRASTRUCTURE
ln accordance with GASB Statement No.34, the City accounts for and reports infrastructure capital
assets. The City defines infrastructure as the basic physical assets including the street system; park and
recreation lands and improvement system; storm water collection system; and site amenities associated
with buildings, such as parking and landscaped areas, used by the City in the conduct of its business.
Each major infrastructure system is divided into subsystems. For example, the street system is divided
into concrete and asphalt pavements, concrete curb and gutters, sidewalks, medians, streetlights, traffic
control devices (signs, signals, and pavement markings), landscaping, and land. Subsystem detail is not
presented in these basic financial statements; however, the City maintains detailed information on
these su bsystems.
The City has elected to use the modified approach, as defined by GASB Statement No. 34, for the Roads
and Streets networks. Under 645B Statement No. 34, eligible infrastructure capital assets are not
required to be depreciated.
ln December 2013, the City's consultant completed a study to update the physical condition assessment
of the streets. The next assessment will be complete by April 201.6. The streets, primarily asphalt
pavements, were defined as all physical features associated with the operation of motorized vehicles
that exist within the limits of right of way. City-owned streets are classified based on land use, access
and traffic utilization into the following four classifications: (1) arterial/major, (2) collector, (3)
residential, and (4) other (such as alleys and parking lots).
724
This condition assessment will be performed approximately every two years. For this inspection update,
all the paved streets in the City's system were re-inspected. A visual survey of approximately 83.87
centerline miles was evaluated in accordance with Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)
standards. Upon completion of this survey, a Pavement Condition lndex (PCl) was calculated for each
segment to reflect the overall pavement condition. Ranging between 0 - 100, a PCI of 0 would
correspond to a badly deteriorated pavement with virtually no remaining life. A PCI of 100 would
correspond to a new pavement with proper engineering design and construction at the beginning of its
life cycle.

Moderate to severe weathering, moderate levels of base failure,
moderate to heavy linear cracking.
Extensive weathering, moderate to heavy base failure, failed patches,
very Poor o'24 extensive network of moderate to heavy linear crackinB.
The City's policy is to achieve an average rating of 65 for all streets. This rating allows minor cracking
and ravelinB of the pavement along with minor roughness that could be noticeable to drivers traveling
at the posted speeds. As of June 30, 2015, the city's street system was rated at a PCI index of 76 on a
100-point scale. The overall condition of the street pavement is in the lower range of MTC'S designation
'Very Good'.

The City's street network replacement value is estimated at SL55 million. Replacement value is
calculated as the current cost to reconstruct each street in the network.
The optimal network PCI is somewhere between low and mid 80's, which is in the middle of the
'excellent/very good'condition category. This is recommended because streets with a PCI in the 80's as
opposed to 70's will likely remain in the 'excellent/very good' condition category for a longer period of
time if relatively inexpensive preventive maintenance treatments are used. Once PCI falls below 70,
more expensive rehabilitation treatments will be needed.
The cost to repair and maintain a pavement depends on its current PCl. ln the 'excellent/very good'
category, it costs very little to apply preventative maintenance treatments. More than half (76.9%l of
the City's street network would benefit from these lower cost preventative maintenance treatments.
Approximately L7.7% of the City's street network is considered in 'good' condition. Pavements in this
range require more than a life-extending treatment. At this point, a well designed pavement will have
served at least 75 percent of its life with the quality ofthe pavement dropping approximately 40%.
The remaining 5.4% ol lhe City's street network falls into the 'poor' or 'very poor' PCI ranges. These
pavements are near the end of their service lives and often exhibit major forms of distress. Atthis stage
a street usually requires either a thick overlay or reconstruction.
One of the key elements of a pavement repair strategy is to keep streets that are in the 'good' or 'fair'
category from deteriorating. This is particularly true for streets in the 'fair' range, because they are at
the point where pavement deterioration accelerates if left untreated.

The projected pavement budget for fiscal year 2011-12 through fiscal year 2015-16 is approximately
51,200,000 per year or 56.0 million. This investment maintains the current PCI of 76. Furthermore,
under this investment level, the projected deferred maintenance backlog decreased from S2.9 million in
2014 to S680,000 in 2018.

Sou rce: San Mateo Cou nty Assessor 2004/05 - 2ol3 / L4 combined tax rolls
Notes:
Exempt values are not included in the total.
tn L978, the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited taxes to a total maximum rate
of 1%, based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value of property
may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only
reassessed as a result of new construction activity or at the time it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the
property is reassessed based upon the added value of the construction or at the purchase price (market value)
or economic value of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data
currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations
described above.

owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds.
(2) Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all
overlapping rates apply to all city property owners.
(3) City's share of 1% levy is based on the City's share of the General Fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value
within the City. Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) General Fund tax shifts are not included in tax ratio figures.
(4) Redevelopment Agency (RDA) rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area (TRA) and includes only rate(s) from
indebtedness adopted prior to 1989 per California State statute. RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the
incremental property values. The approval of ABX1 26 eliminated Redevelopment from the State of California for the fiscal
year 2072/13 and years thereafter.
(5) Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied to by the government preparing the statistical
section information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft. Beginning in 2013-14 the Total Direct Rate no longer includes
revenue generated from the former redevelopment tax rate areas. Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations
are assumed to have been resolved during 2072-13. For the purposes ofthis report, residual revenue is assumed
to be distributed to the City in the same proportlons as general fund revenue.

Notes:
(1) lnfiscalyear200g-l0aspartoftheStateofCalifornia'sbudgetbalancingactions,theStateborrowed
S1,145,268 of the City's property tax revenue, with the promise to repay the Proposition 1A loan in three years
with 2% interest. These amounts were fully reimbursed by the State of California as of June 30,2073.
(2) Current tax collections are less than the levy due to roll corrections, county administrative charges, and other
adjustments which may occur after the date of levy.
(3) The City participates in the Teeter Plan under California State law. Under the Teeter Plan, the County remits
the entire tax levy and manages delinquent tax collections with the associated interest and penalties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
of the City of Burlingame
Bu rlingame, 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 Standords 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 Burlingame, California (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 Janua ry 7 ,2016.
lnternal Control Over Financial Reporting
ln 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 opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internalcontrol. Accordingly,
we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
A deficiency in internol controlexists 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 materiol weokness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the City's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected
and corrected on a timely basis. A significont deficiency is a deficiency, ot 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.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City'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
materialeffect on the determination offinancial 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 6overnment Auditing Standords.
We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the City in a separate letter dated
January 7 ,2OL6.
Purpose of this Report
This report is intended 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 City'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 City's internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Update on Proposed Flood lnsurance Rate Map
Date:
Subject:
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive an update regarding the Federal Emergency
Management Agency's (FEMA) proposed flood insurance rate map. This is an information only
item, and no City Council action is requested at this time.
BACKGROUND
ln early 2013, FEMA authorized the California Coastal Analysis and Mapping Program to study
various types of potential for coastal flood events along the California coast such as king tide,
extreme high tide, wind wave event, Pacific winter storm (Pineapple express) and remote swells.
The study was prompted by coastal flood events, including Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf
Coast and Superstorm Sandy along the East Coast. The results of the study identified potential
flooding hazards in Burlingame; as a result, FEMA proposes to add the affected commercial and
residential properties to the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). There are currently 334
residential and commercial property owners that are in the SFHAs, and they are required to
obtain a flood insurance policy if they have a federally backed mortgage'
ln November 2014, staff presented to the City Council the proposed Flood lnsurance Rate Map
(FIRM) and explained the basis of the new flood insurance study as provided by FEMA. This
report is to further apprise the City Council regarding the revised preliminary FIRM and the public
outreach efforts that staff will be undertaking to inform the affected property owners about the
revised FIRM.
FEtvlA released the revised preliminary FIRM in September 2015. The revised preliminary FIRM
indicates that there are approximately 300 commercial properties and 50 residential properties in
Burlingame that will be added to the SFHAs. The majority of the commercial properties affected
are located in the north east part of Burlingame between the northern City limits, Rollins Road,
and the Bayfront Area. The affected residential properties are located adjacent to Victoria Park,
bordering Rollins Road, Victoria Road, and the southern City limits.
The revised preliminary FIRI\4 is currently in the midst of a 90-day appeal period. Staff submitted
comments to FEMA expressing concerns and questioning the probability and the likelihood of
potential flooding in the affected areas and consequences for the property owners as a result of
1
. Proposed Flood lnsurance Rate Map Update January 19, 2016
the proposed FIRM. Additionally, staff participated in multiple phone conferences with FEMA to
discuss the City's concerns with the study and requests for more information. FEMA provided the
additional information as requested by staff. After review of the proposed FIRM by an outside
engineering expert consultant, staff determined that the FEMA study is reasonable based on
FEMA's scientific modeling methods and model results. FEMA is tentatively scheduled to adopt
the final FIRM in March 2017, after which the new flood insurance rates will apply to the affected
properties in the flood zone areas.
DISGUSS!ON
ln order to inform and educate the affected property owners of the new maps in a timely manner,
staff will be conducting public outreach efforts beginning in March 2016. The outreach efforts will
consist of mailing information to affected property owners regarding the revised maps, flood risk
hazards, available resources, and staff contacts. Additionally, staff is planning to conduct two
separate neighborhood meetings for the affected commercial and residential property owners.
Furthermore, two months before the new maps are adopted, staff will send another mailing,
informing property owners that are new to the SFHAs that they can purchase flood insurance
under the lower-cost Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) option. This PRP offers an introductory flood
insurance rate for new policy holders.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be staff time involved in conducting the public outreach to the affected property owners
regarding the new maps and to provide assistance as appropriate, which is anticipated to be
covered by the department's current operating budget'

Update on Proposed Flood lnsurance Rate Map and New Flood lnsurance
Study by FEMA
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council review the proposed flood insurance rate map and new flood
insurance study by FETVIA as part of the California Coastal Analysis and Mapping Program
(CCAMP) and provide feedback to staff.
BACKGROUND
The National Flood lnsurance program (NFIP) is a Federal program created to mitigate future
flood losses nationwide through community-enforced development ordinances and to provide
access to affordable, federally backed flood insurance program. Burlingame participates in the
NFlp by enforcing floodplain management requirements for new construction to reduce future
ftood risks in special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA). The sFHA is a high-risk area defined as any
land that would be inundated by a flood having a 1-percent chance of occurring in a given year,
more commonly referred to as a 100-year flood. Areas of flood hazard are established by
engineering studies and are identified on Flood lnsurance Rate Maps (FlRMs)'
Federal Emergency lr/lanagement Agency (FEMA) issued the first FIRM maps for Burlingame on
September 16, 19g1 which indicated boundaries for two SFHA flood zones within the City. The
two areas are referred to as the Laguna Flood Zone Area and the Easton Creek Flood Zone Area
and encompass approximately 371 residential properties. Property owners within the flood zones
are required to purchase flood insurance by mortgage companies if the elevation of their structure
is lower than the base flood elevation (BFE) and face additional building permit requirements to
either raise their finish floor or protect against flooding when initiating substantial remodeling or
new construction projects. The FIRM maps also indicate that the major creeks of the city
contain the 100-year flood within the creek channel. The major creeks are indicated as
Burlingame Creek, Sanchez Creek, Easton Creek, Mills Creek, El Portal Creek, Trousdale
Channel and Gilbreth Channel.
FEMA issued revised FIRM maps effective October 12,2012 which indicated the identical flood
zone boundary information as the 198l maps.

l|pdate on fuoposed Flood lnsurance Rate Map
and New Flood lnsurance Study by FEMA
December 1,2014
ln early 2013, FEMA authorized the ccAMP to study various types of potential for coastal flood
processes along the California coast such as king tide, extreme high tide, wind wave event,
Pacific winter storm (Pineapple express), El Nino winter storm, and remote swells. This study was
prompted by coastal flood events, including Hurricane Katarina in 2005 and sandy in 2012, which
has increased the public's awareness of coastal flood vulnerability. The coastal flood processes
were used to generate wave models of the San Francisco Bay. The models include an analysis
of wave run-up, wave overtopping, and overland wave propagation.
The results of the study identified coastal areas in Burlingame and the preliminary map indicates
that there are approximately 210 commercial properties and 22 residential properties that will be
added to the SFHA. The majority of the commercial properties affected are located on the north
side of Burlingame between the City Limits, Rollins Road, and the Bay. The affected residential
properties are located ad.iacent to Victoria Park, bordering Rollins Road, Victoria Road, and the
City Limits.
The coastal study mapping timeline is as follows
. February 2013 - FEIVIA initiated the Coastal Study
. April - September 20'14 - Revised floodplain mapping was generated
o October 1"t,2014 - Flood Risk Review Meeting by FEIvIA to discuss the proposed new
maps
. october 17rh to December 17\h,2014 - lnitial commenting period for study and map
. June 2015 - Preliminary FIRM will be released
. October to January 20'16 - 90-day appeal period
. Ir/larch 2016 - Final map determination
. September 2016 - New FIRM effective
DIS CUSSION
staff has reviewed the coastal study conducted by FEMA under the ccAMP and have concerns
with the program used to generate the wave models. The original program was designed for
conditions on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Revisions to the program were made to remove
hurricane condition scenarios as it is not appropriate for the California Pacific coast. However, it
is unclear how the program corrects, if any, the difference between waves within the Bay versus
coastal waves. Staff is requesting more information from FEMA
The result of the revised FIRM will mean that approximately 210 commercial and 22 residential
propertyownerswouldberequiredtoobtainfloodinsuranceprotectionthroughtheprogram.ln
addition, when the property owner wishes to construct a new building or complete major
improvements to their property, they would have to comply with additional building permit
requirements to raise the finish floor elevation above the BFE and/or flood proof the Structure'
These additional requirements can Substantially increase the construction cost to a property
owner.

Update on Proposed Flood lnsurance Rate Map
and New Flood lnsurance Study by FEMA
December 1, 2014
Following the current timeline for initial commenting, staff will be submitting comments to FElt/A
before the December 17th deadline. Staff will send out a public notice of the revised FIRM to all
affected property owners once the preliminary map is released in June 2015. Contents of the
letter will include information on FEMA, flood risk hazards, available resources, and staff
contacts.
Based on the results of the study and response from FEMA to City comments, staff will determine
if additional resources will be prudent to submit an appeal during the appeal period of October
2015 to January 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be staff time involved in reviewing FEMA documents and providing information to the
public which will be absorbed within the department's current fiscal year operating budget.

Actions Relating to the lssuance of the Bonds
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Financing Authority Board of Directors adopt the resolution approving
all actions relating to the issuance of the Storm Drainage Revenue Bonds, Series 2016'
BACKGROUND
ln 200g, the property owners of Burlingame voted to approve a storm drainage fee that is based
on the impervious nature of real estate lots. An engineering study was conducted to determine
the various categories of fees. The fees are collected annually by San Mateo County as part of
the property tax bill. The county then remits the funds to the city. The storm drainage fee
revenue is used to make improvements to the city's storm drainage system'
on April 19,2010, the city council approved a resolution authorizing the first issuance of storm
drainage revenue bonds and authorizing staff to seek legal validation from the Superior Court of
the County of San Mateo regarding the validity of this Council resolution. On June 29,2010, the
Superior Court of the County of San Mateo entered a default judgment in favor of the City, which
validates the issuance of storm drainage bonds.
on August 1g,2010, the Burlingame Financing Authority issued its first series of storm drainage
revenue bonds in the amount of $9,805,000. A second series of bonds was issued in December
2012inthe amount of $10,615,000. The series 2016 bonds will be the third component of the
storm drainage system's financing program. one final issuance may be necessary before the City
can anticipate funding future capital improvements on a pay-as-you-go basis'
The blanks in the preliminary official statement and Bond Purchase Agreement are intentional
and will be filled in once the issuance moves fonruard and the pricing and sale are completed.

Storm Druin Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 - Financing Authority January 19,2016
The storm drainage system requires additional capital improvement to modernize the City's aged
storm drain infrastructure. The first series of bonds of about $9.8 million were sold in 2010 with a
mixture of traditional tax-exempt bonds ($2.6 million) and taxable Build America Bonds (BABs)
($7.2 million). As the City drew down the proceeds of those bonds, the 2012 bonds issuance
($10.2 million) replenished the City's ability to fund further capital improvements; the remainder of
this second issuance was encumbered in early November for construction and inspection
services for the Neighborhood Storm Drain Project No. 8. The 2016 bonds will provide funding
for storm drainage capital improvements that will be needed in the coming years.
According to the capital improvement plan adopted as part of the City's budget on June 18' 2015'
the City is contemplating $18.4 million of additional projects for this system beyond the current
fiscal year. lncluded in these projects are capacity improvements to the Burlingame' Ralston, El
portal and Gilbreth creeks as well as the Trousdale channel. The plan also calls for general
improvements and maintenance of catchment basins and pump stations citywide.
The 2016 bonds will finance approximately $10 million in new storm drainage improvements The
final amount of improvements to be financed from the 2016 bonds will be determined closer to the
bond sale based on actual funding needs.
Stifel Nicolaus will serve as undeMriter for the bonds, which will be sold on a negotiated basis.
Orrick will serve as Bond & Disclosure Counsel. PFM will serve as the Financial Advisor to
review the transaction's interest rates and the underwriting fees at the time of the bond sale The
expected date of sale of the bonds is February 10, 2016, and the transaction is expected to close
on February 24,2016. The proceeds will be deposited in the Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, the City's trustee bank.
copies of the Resolutions, Preliminary official statement and Bond Purchase Agreement are
available for public inspection at the Office of the City Clerk. Electronic copies are also available
for e-mail to Councilmembers as well as interested members of the public by contacting the City
Clerk.
FIS CAL IMPACT
The proposed bond issuance is currently projected to be rated "A+" by the Standard & Poor',s
rating agency. lf a bond insurance policy is made available, the decision to purchase it will
depend on the potential economic benefit it provides (if any). On April 19' 2010' the Council
approved storm drainage fund policies to ensure the repayment of the storm drainage debt to the
bondholders and aid in buffering investors against potential contingencies that the City may face,
which may pose a financial risk.
The not-to-exceed interest rate is set at 6.50%, but the actual interest rate is expected to be
between 2.Ook and 5.Oo/o. The average debt payment for the 2016 bonds is estimated at
$725,000, assuming financing $10 million in storm drainage improvements. The combined

gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
Sources of Payment
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from Revenues, generally
consisting of Installment Payments to be made by the City, and from amounts on deposit in certain funds
and accounts held under the Trust Agreement. The lnstallment Payments securing the Bonds are special
obligations of the City under the Installment Sale Agreement. There are currently $8,715,000 outstanding
aggregate principal amount of installment payments under the 2010 Installment Sale Agreement and
$9,945,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of installment payments under the 2012 Installment
Sale Agreement secured by a lien on System Revenues on a parity with the Installment Payments.
Pledge of System Revenuesl Storm Drainage Fees
The Installment Payments under the Installment Sale Agreement are secured by a pledge of the
System Revenues. "system Revenues" are defined as all proceeds of the Storm Drainage Fee, the
proceeds of the Refundable Credits and all gross income and revenue received by the City from the
ownership and operation of the Storm Drainage System, determined in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) all other
income, rents, rates, fees, connection fees, charges or other moneys derived from the Storm Drainage
System, (b) the earnings on and income derived from the investment of such income, rents, rates, fees,
charges or other moneys (including all investment earnings credited by the Trustee to the Revenue Fund),
and (c) the proceeds derived by the City directly or indirectly from the sale, lease or other disposition of a
part of the Storm Drainage System as permitted in the Installment Sale Agreement; provided, however,
that the term "system Revenues" does not include customers' deposits or any other deposits subject to
refund until such deposits have become the property of the City.
The System Revenues consist primarily of the Storm Drainage Fees approved by a majority of the
parcel owners in the City voting at a special election held on May 5, 2009. The Storm Drainage Fees are
imposed on every parcel of properly in the City other than vacant, unimproved parcels and streets,
highways, channels and canals. See "STORM DRAINAGE FEES AND SYSTEM."
Additional Parity Obligations
The Installment Sale Agreement provides that the City may at any time enter into obligations
secured by a lien and charge upon the System Revenues equal to and on a parity lien and charge with the
Installment Payments, provided:
(a) Either -
(l) as evidenced by a Certificate of the City, during any twelve (12) consecutive
calendar months out of the immediately preceding eighteen (18) calendar month period, the
System Revenues were at least equalto one hundred ten percent (l l0%) of the Maximum Annual
Debt Service for all Outstanding Installment Payments and all Outstanding Parity Obligations
plus the Parity Obligation proposed to be executed; or
(2) as evidenced by a Certificate of the City, the projected System Revenues during
the first Fiscal Year in which Debt Service on the Parity Obligation is payable (other than from
Bond or Contract proceeds), is at least equalto one hundred ten percent (l l0%) of the Maximum
Annual Debt Service for all Outstanding Installment Payments and all Outstanding Parity
Obligations plus the Parity Obligation proposed to be executed;
8
OHSUSA:763800162.4
(b)The proceeds of such Parity Obligation proposed to be executed shall be used solely to
finance or refinance (including reimbursement to the City of amounts advanced for such
costs) one or more betterments or improvements to the System as designated by the City
and to pay any incidental costs and expenses related thereto including the costs of
issuance, execution or delivery of such proposed Parity Obligation;
(c)There shall have been delivered to the City an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the
effect that (l) the City has the right and power under applicable law to execute and
deliver the Parity Obligation, and the Parity Obligation is a valid and binding obligation
of the City, and (2) such Parity Obligation has been duly and validly authorized and
issued in accordance herewith; and
(d) The City is not in default under the Installment Sale Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, neither clause (a) nor clause (b) above shall limit the
ability of the City to execute any Parity Obligations at any time to refund any Outstanding Installment
Payments or Outstanding Parity Obligations if the annual Debt Service for each Fiscal Year during which
such Parity Obligation is Outstanding will not be increased by reason of the issuance of such Parity
Obligation.
For purposes of calculating the Additional Parity Obligations test described in clause (a) above,
the proceeds of the Refundable Credits received by the City will not be included in System Revenues and
will be subtracted from the amount of interest payable in calculating Maximum Annual Debt Service.
Reserve Account
Simultaneously with the delivery of the Bonds, the Authority will cause to be deposited into the
Reserve Account established under the Trust Agreement, Bond proceeds in an amount equal to the least
of (i) the maximum annual Installment Payments, (ii) 125% of average annual Installment Payments, and
(iii) l0% of the original principal amount of the Installment Payments provided, however, that such
amount shall not exceed the amount permitted by the arbitrage bond regulations issued by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury as such regulations are, at the time applicable and, in effect, without the
imposition of yield restrictions.
lf the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is less than the Reserve Fund Requirement, the
first payment of Installment Payments thereafter received from the City under the Installment Sale
Agreement and not needed to pay the interest or principal payable to the Owners on the next Interest
Payment Date or Principal Payment Date will be used to increase the amount on deposit in the Reserve
Account to an amount which will be equal to the Reserve Account Requirement. Any amounts on deposit
in the Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve Account Requirement will be deposited in the Revenue
Fund.
Collection of Storm Drainage Fees
Pursuant to the Installment Sale Agreement, the City agrees to take all actions permitted by the
Ordinance to collect System Revenues during each Fiscal Year throughthe203T-2038 Fiscal Year in an
amount at least equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of Debt Service for such Fiscal Year. The
Ordinance provides that the maximum per square foot rate for impervious area, commencing in Fiscal
Year 2010-201l, may be increased by an amount equal to the change in the Consumer Price Index for all
Urban Consumers for the area including San Mateo County (the "CPI"), including all items as published
by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics as of March I of each year, notto exceed a maximum increase of
9
OHSUSA:763800162.4
two percent (2%) per year. The Storm Drainage Fee will not be deemed to be increased in the event the
actual fee upon a parcel in any given year is higher due to an increase in the amount of the impervious
area of the subject parcel. In any year in which the City Council does not change the rate per square foot
of impervious area, the previously adopted fee will continue in full force and effect for the next fiscal
year. The City Council will not be required to enact an inflation increase in each year but may
accumulate the inflationary increases and enact the cumulative amount. Any increase in the Storm
Drainage Fees above the increase permitted by the Ordinance would require approval by a majority vote
of the properfy owners subject to the fee. See "STORM DRAINAGE FEES AND SYSTEM -
Ordinance - Setting the Fee."
For purposes of calculating the coverage test described in the preceding paragraph, the proceeds
of the Refundable Credits received by the City will not be included in System Revenues and will be
subtracted from the amount of interest payable in calculating Debt Service for each Fiscal Year.
The City Council increased the storm drainage rate per square foot of impervious area for Fiscal
Year 2010-l I by two percent (2Yo),Fiscal Year 2011-12 by one and one-half percent (15%) and by two
percent (2%)for each of FiscalYears 2012-13,2013-14 and 2014-15.
Flow of Funds
The City covenants in the Installment Sale Agreement that the System Revenues, when and as
received, will be held by the City in trust and will be deposited in the City's Storm Drainage Fund and
shall be accounted for separately and apart from all other money, funds, accounts or other resources ofthe
City. System Revenues shall be applied and transferred, as follows:
( 1) Debt Service Fund. On or prior to the fourth Business Day prior to each Interest Payment
Date, the City shall transfer the respective Installment Payments to the Trustee for deposit in the Revenue
Fund in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest and principal (including any sinking fund
installments) due and payable on all Outstanding Bonds on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date'
The City shall also, from such remaining moneys in the System Revenue Fund, pay to the party entitled
thereto or transfer or cause to be transferred to any applicable debt service or other payment fund or
account for any Parity Obligations, without preference or priority between transfers made pursuant to this
sentence and the preceding sentence, and in the event of any insufficiency of such moneys ratably without
any discrimination or preference, on the dates specified in the proceedings relating to such Parity
Obligations, the sum or sums required to be paid or deposited in such debt service or other payment fund
or aCcount with respect to principal, premium, if any, and interest on Parity Obligations in accordance
with the terms of such Parity Obligations.
(2) Reserve Account. After making the payments, allocations and transfers provided for in
(l) above, if the balance in the applicable Reserve Account is less than the applicable Reserve Account
Requirement, the deficiency shall be restored by transfers from the first moneys which become available
in the Storm Drainage Fund. The City shall also, from such remaining moneys in the System Revenue
Fund, transfer or cause to be transferred to any applicable reserve fund or account for any Parity
Obligations for which a separate reserye has been funded without preference or priority beFveen transfers
made pursuant to this sentence and the preceding sentence, and in the event of any insufficiency of such
moneys ratably without any discrimination or preference, the sum or sums, if any, equal to the amount

The Authority has no taxing power.
STORM DRAINAGE FEES AND SYSTEM
General
The City's Storm Drainage System (the "System") was constructed more than 80 years ago and is
deteriorating. The maintenance costs of the System are paid from the general fund of the City. The
System's capacity is inadequate and the City is subject to flooding and sewer infiltration during seasonal
storms. Pursuant to the authority set forth in Article XIIID of the California Constitution ("Proposition
218"), Government Code Sections 53750 and following, and Health and Safety Code Section 5471 and
following, the City enacted the Storm Drainage Fee for the purpose of improving, upgrading, and
maintaining the storm drainage system, reducing pollutants flowing into Burlingame's creeks and the San
Francisco Bay, preventing street flooding that impedes residents and police/fire emergency access,
improving local drainage, and better assuring that the System serves the needs of its residents.
The Storm Drainage Fee is a property-related fee levied on each parcel of property in the City
that drains into the Storm Drainage System (i.e., all parcels other than vacant, unimproved parcels and
streets, highways, channels and canals), including parcels owned by public entities. The Storm Drainage
Fee is levied on 8,624 parcels of property and is currently calculated at 4.698 cents per square foot of
impervious area. See "STORM DRAINAGB FEES AND SYSTEM - Ordinance - Computing the
Fee" for details regarding the calculation of the fee. The Storm Drainage Fee was approved by a majority
of the property owners voting on the enactment of the fee at a special election held on May 5, 2009.
The Storm Drainage Fee is collected on the San Mateo County tax roll in the same manner, by the
same persons, and at the same time as, the general property taxes of the City. The Storm Drainage Fee is
included in the Teeter Plan. See "APPENDIX A - CITY OF BURLINGAME FINANCIAL AND
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION - Property Taxes" for additional information regarding the
process for collecting property taxes and the Teeter Plan. Additionally, the collection of Storm Drainage
Fees pursuant to the Installment Sale Agreement was included in a court validation action. See
..VALIDATION."
For a description of the improvements to the Storm Drainage System to be financed with the
Storm Drainage Fee, see "STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM."

Process for Establishing the Storm Drainage Fee
The Storm Drainage Fee is a property-related fee under Proposition 218, and the City imposed the
fee pursuant to the requirements and procedures contained in Proposition 21 8. As part of the process for
imposing the fee, the City adopted a resolution on February 1,2008, scheduling a protest hearing for
January 20, 2OO9 and authorizing procedures for the protest hearing. A notice of public hearing was sent
to each record owner of parcels in the City to which the fee would apply at least 45 days prior to the
hearing.
On January 20, 2009, the City Council held the protest hearing. The City did not receive a
majority protest. Following the protest hearing, the City adopted a resolution establishing procedures for
conducting an election. Among other things, the resolution called for the submittal of the Storm Drainage
Fee to the record owners of each parcel to which the Storm Drainage Fee would apply pursuant to a
mailed-ballot election to be held on May 5,2009.
On January 20,2009, the City also enacted an ordinance administering the Storm Drainage Fee,
entitled "Ordinance of the City of Burlingame Adding Chapter 4.30 to the Burlingame Municipal Code to
Administer A Storm Drainage Fee" (the "Ordinance"). The Ordinance provided that the Storm Drainage
Fee would not be imposed until approved by the majority of eligible properfy-owner voters as required by
Proposition 218. For a description of the Ordinance, see "STORM DRAINAGE FEES AND SYSTEM
- Ordinance."
At the special election, the proposed Storm Drainage Fee was approved by 63.41% of the
property-owners voting on the enactment of the Storm Drainage Fee, and the Ordinance was codified as
Chapter 4.30 of the City of Burlingame Municipal Code.
Engineer's Report
In connection with establishing the Storm Drainage Fee, an "Engineer's Report for the City of
Burlingame Storm Drainage Fee dated November 20,2008" (the "Engineer's Report") was prepared for
the City. Among other things, the Engineer's Report established the fee rate structure using a "cost of
service" approach. This "cost of service" approach to rate-setting was utilized so that each property
owner would pay a rate proportional to its "fair share" of the cost of the System. Fee rates show a clear
nexus between the amount of the rate charged and each parcel's contribution to the System, which is
directly proportional to the impervious area of the property.
The text of the Engineer's Report, without the accompanying exhibits, is attached hereto as
..APPENDIX B _ ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR THE CITY OF BURLINGAME'S STORM
DRAINAGE FBE."
Ordinance
The following is a summary of the Ordinance imposing the Storm Drainage Fees.
Computing the Fee. The Storm Drainage Fee is levied upon each parcel of properfy that drains
into the System. The amount of the Storm Drainage Fee for each individual parcel is computed as
follows: Parcel square footage is multiplied by the percentage of impervious area on the parcel. The
resulting number is multiplied by the per square foot impervious area rate in order to calculate the dollar
fee for the fiscal year. The rate will not exceed the maximum rate established by the voters, per square
foot of impervious area (subject to increase as described below under " - Setting the Fee"). When the
impervious area of a parcel is increased or decreased, the annual fee for the parcel will be adjusted for the
OHSUSA:763800162.4
t2
fiscal year next succeeding the change in impervious area. The term impervious area means the non-
natural state or surface of a parcel which acts as a barrier that prevents the majority of storm water from
infiltrating into the ground below, including as examples but not limited to concrete, asphalt pavement or
concrete paver walkways, patios or driveways; playing surfaces such as tennis courts or basketball courts;
pools and pool decks; rooftops; tool sheds; carports; andlor patio covers. The fee for each condominium
will be based on the individual condominium's percentage of ownership interest as shown on the
assessor's roll; and if not shown are deemed to be equal ownership percentages, unless proof is submitted
otherwise.
Vacant, unimproved parcels are still in their natural states and do not contribute any additional
runoff to burden the City's storm drain system. Therefore, the storm drain user fee is not applicable to
these parcels. When a vacant parcel that is not subject to the Storm Drainage Fee adds impervious area, it
will be required to pay a storm drainage fee based on its impervious area. Streets and highways,
channels, and canals are exempt from the storm drainage fee as part of the storm system.
Setting the Fee. The City Council, following a public hearing, determined the initial storm
drainage fee. In no event will the square footage rate for impervious area be increased beyond the initial
rate without further approval by a majority vote of the properly owners subject to the Storm Drainage
Fee; provided, however, that, without approval by a majority vote of the property owners subject to the
Storm Drainage Fee, the maximum per square foot rate for impervious area, commencing Fiscal Year
2010-2011, may be increased by an amount equal to the change in the Consumer Price Index for all
Urban Consumers for the area including San Mateo County (the "CPI"), including all items as published
by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics as of March 1 of each year, not to exceed a maximum increase of
two percent (2%) per year. The Storm Drainage Fee will not be deemed to be increased in the event the
actual fee upon a parcel in any given year is higher due to an increase in the amount of the impervious
area of the subject parcel, In any year in which the City Councildoes not change the rate per square foot
of imperviou.-ur.u, the previously adopted fee will continue in full force and effect for the next fiscal
year. The City Council will not be required to enact an inflation increase in each year but may
accumulate the inflationary increases and enact the cumulative amount.
Pursuant to the Ordinance, the City Council increased the rate per square foot of impervious area
for Fiscal Year 2010-ll by two percent (2o/o),Fiscal Year 20ll-12 by one and one-half percent (15%)
and by two percent (2%)for each of FiscalYears 2012-13,2013-14 and 2014-15.
Appeals by Prope(y Owners. If a properfy owner disagrees with the calculation of his or her
Storm Drainage Fee, the property owner may appeal the calculation within 20 calendar days after the
properly o*n.. receives notice that the fee will be increased/decreased. The property owner must provide
written documentation to the City's Public Works Department explaining the reason why the Storm Drain
Fee is not correct. The property owner will be notified in writing within three weeks after sufficient
documentation has been submitted whether or not the fee will be changed. The property owner can
appeal the decision of Public Works to the City Council if the amount remaining in dispute after the
pu'btic Works decision exceeds $100 annually. The appeal must be made in writing and filed with the
City Clerk not later than ten calendar days from the date of mailing of the Public Works Department
deCision. The City Clerk will fix a time and place for hearing the appeal and shall give notice in writing to
the appellant. The City Council's determination on the appeal shall be final. As of the date hereof, no
appeals of the Storm Drainage Fee have been filed.
Collection of the Fee.The Storrn Drainage Fee will be collected on the San Mateo County tax
roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, together with and not separately
from, the general properfy taxes of the City; provided, however, in any year the City Council may, by
resolution, provide for an alternative procedure for collection of the Storm Drainage Fee. For any fiscal
OHSUSA:763800162.4
l3
year in which the Storm Drainage Fee is authorized but not collected on the tax roll, the City may collect
all or a portion of the fee for such year on the tax roll in the following fiscalyear or years.
Expiration of Fee. The Storm Drainage Fee established by the Ordinance will remain in effect
until 2038.
Lien
The Storm Drainage Fee is collected in the same manner and at the same time as general taxes,
and subject to the same delinquency penalties as general properfy taxes. The Storm Drainage Fee is
secured by a lien against the parcel against which the fee has been imposed, and all laws applicable to the
levy, collection and enforcement of general property taxes of the City, including but not limited to, those
pertaining to matters of delinquency, correction, cancellation, refund or redemption, are applicable to the
Storm Drainage Fees. See "APPENDIX A - CITY OF BURLINGAME FINANCIAL AND
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION - Property Taxes" for a description of the property tax collection
procedures.
Citizens Oversight Committee
The Cify Council has appointed a citizens committee to assure that the Storm Drainage Fees are
used for storm drainage purposes. The committee reviews and provides advisory input to the Public
Works Director in the preparation of the budget expenditures, and any amendments thereto, from the
storm drainage fund, including project priorities.
Fees Paid by Largest Payers
For Fiscal Year2015-16, the Storm Drainage Fees were levied on8,624 parcels of property, the
fee totaled $2,715,811 and the average fee per parcel was $314.91, and for Fiscal Year 2014'15, the
Storm Drainage Fees totaled 52,659,740 and the average fee per parcel was $308.52. The following table

STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Storm Drainage Fees will be applied to (i) improve, upgrade and maintain the City's
deteriorated 80 year old storm drain system; (ii) protect water quality; (iii) reduce pollutants flowing into
creeks and the San Francisco Bay; (iv) prevent street flooding that can impede residents and emergency
access, and (v) improve local drainage. A comprehensive assessment of the Storm Drain System was
performed to determine deficiencies and future requirements of the Storm Drainage System. The
assessment identified five major watershed areas, with a list of recommended improvements. The City
anticipates that the improvements will be funded both on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the proceeds of
Series 2010 Bonds, the Series 2012 Bonds and with the proceeds of the Bonds. It is estimated that the
costs of improvements financed with the proceeds of Bonds will be approximately $-.
The following improvements to the Storm Drainage System are currently under consideration:
o Burlingame Creek Bypass and Improvements;
o Ralston Creek Improvements;
o Rollins Road/US l0l - Crossing;
o Rollins Road Pump Station Improvements;
o Rollins Area Collection System Improvements;
o Terrace Creek Improvements;
o El Portal, Trousdale and Gilbreth Creek repairs;
. Citywide Neighborhood Storm Drainage Improvements;
o Bridge and Culvert Facilities Improvements; and
. Upgrades to existing storm water pump stations'
RISK FACTORS
payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds depends almost entirely upon the collection of
the Storm brainage Fee.
-Some
of the events which could affect the System Revenues, as well as issues
that could affect the availability of moneys in any reserves, are set forth below. The following discussion
of risks is not meant to be an eihaustive iirt of the risks associated with the purchase of the Bonds and the
order in which the risks are discussed does not necessarily reflect the relative importance of the various
risks.
Limited Obligations
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from Revenues, generally
consisting of the Installment Payments. The obligations of the City to make Installment Payments are not
payable fiom, or secured by a legal or equitable pledge or charge or lien upon, any property of the City or
any of its income o. ,"..iptr, "*."pt the System Revenues. The obligation of the City to pay the
Initallment payments from System Revenues does not constitute an obligation of the City to levy or
pledge any form of taxation or for which the City has levied or pledged any form of taxation.
OHSUSA:763800162.4
17
The City is obligated under Installment Sale Agreement to make payments solely from the
System Revenues. There is no assurance that the City can succeed in collecting the Storm Drainage Fee
such that the System Revenues in the future will be sufficient for that purpose. See also "Right to Vote
on Taxes Act" below.
Limited Recourse on Default
Failure by the City to pay Installment Payments constitutes an event of default under the
Installment Sale Agreement and the Trustee is permitted to pursue remedies at law or in equity to enforce
the City's obligation to make such payments. The Trustee has no right to accelerate the total unpaid
principal amount of the Installment Payments.
Bankruptcy
The rights and remedies provided in the Trust Agreement and the Installment Sale Agreement
may be limited by and are subject to the provisions of federal bankruptcy laws, to other laws or equitable
principles that may affect the enforcement of creditors' rights, to the exercise of judicial discretion in
appropriate cases and to limitations on legal remedies against public agencies in the State of California.
The various opinions of counsel to be delivered with respect to the Bonds and the Trust Agreement,
including the opinion of Bond Counsel, will be similarly qualified. If the City were to file a petition under
Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Owners of the Bonds and the Trustee could be prohibited from
taking any steps to enforce tieir rights under the Trust Agreement and/or Installment Sale Agreement. In
the eient the City fails to comply with its covenants under the Installment Sale Agreement or fails to pay
the Installment payments, there ian be no assurance of the availability of remedies adequate to protect the
interest of the holders of the Bonds. See "APPENDIX E - FORM OF LEGAL OPINION".
Tax Exemption of the Bonds
The City and Authority have covenanted in the Installment Sale Agreement and Trust Agreement
respectively thai they will take all actions necessary to assure the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from
the gross income olthe Beneficial Owners of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. If the City or
Auti'ority fail to comply with the foregoing tax covenant, the interest on by the Bonds may be includable
in the gross income of itre Beneficial Owners thereof for federal tax purposes. See "TAX MATTERS"
herein.
Additional Obligations
The lnstallment Sale Agreement permits the issuance of Parity Obligations secured by System
Revenues on a parity basis and/or a subordinate basis to the Installment Payments. See "STORM
DRAINAGE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM." Such additionallnstallment Payments would
increase debt service payable from System Revenues and could adversely affect debt service coverage
with respect to the Insiallment Payments. In such event, however, the covenant to collect System
Revenues described herein will remain in effect.
Right to Vote on Taxes Act
General. On Novemb er 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218, the so-called
,,Right to Vote on Taxes Act." Proposition 2l 8 adds Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution,
wtrictr affect the ability of local governments to levy and collect both existing and future taxes,
assessments, fees and.hurg"r. Proposition 218, which became effective on November 6,1996 (although
OHSUSA:761800162.4
18
application of some of its provisions was deferred until July 1,1997) changes, among other things, the
procedure for the imposition of new or increased fees or charges.
Article XIII C. Article XIII C requires that all new local taxes be submitted to the electorate for
approval before such taxes become effective. General taxes, imposed for general governmental purposes
oiit . City, require a majority vote, and special taxes, imposed for specific purposes, require a two-thirds
vote. Under Proposition 218, the City can only continue to collect taxes that were imposed after
January l, 1995 if they were approved by the voters by November 6, 1998'
Article XIII D. Under Article XIIID, revenues derived from a "fee" or "charge" (defined as "any
levy other than an acl valorem tax, a special tax or an assessment, imposed by a local government upon a
parcel or upon a person merely as an incident of property ownership, including user fees or charges for a
properly reiated service") may not exceed the funds required to provide the "property-related seryice" and
,nuy noi be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed. Further, (i) the
amount of a ,ofee,' or ;'charge" may not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the
parcel, (ii) no "fee" or "charge" may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or is
immediately available to, thi owner of the property in question and (iii) no "fee" or "charge" may be
imposed for general governmental services where the service is "available to the public at large in
substantially the same manner as it is to the property owners." All new and existing property-related fees
and charges must conform to specific requirements and prohibitions set forth in the Article. Further'
before any properry-related fee or charge may be imposed or increased, written notice must be given to
the record owner of each parcel of land uffe"t"d by such fee or charge. The City must then hold a hearing
upon the proposed imposition or increase, and if written protests against the proposal are presented by a
majority of tire o*n"r, of the identified parcels, the City may not impose or increase the fee or charge.
Moreouer, except for fees or charges foi water, wastewater and refuse collection services (or fees for
electrical and gas service, which are exempt from Proposition 218), no property-related fee or charge may
be imposed oiincreased without majority approval by the property owners subjecl to the fee or charge or,
at the option ofthe local agency, twothirds approval by those residing in the affected area and voting at
the election.
The Storm Drainage Fees are property-related fees conforming to the requirements of the Article,
and were approved by a irajority of the parcel owners in the City voting on the fee. See "STORM
DRAINAGE FEES AND SYSTEM."
Repeal or Reduction of Existing Rates. Under Article XIIIC, Section 3, the initiative power is
expressly extended to matters of local taxes, assessments, fees and charges. This means that the voters of
the City'could, by future initiative, repeal or reduce existing local taxes, assessments, fees and charges.
This power is arguably limited in the iase of levies directly pledged to bonded indebtedness, such as the
Storm Drainage Fees securing the Installment Payments'
Legislation adopted by the State Legislature in 1997 provides that Article XIIIC shall not be
construed to mean that any owner or beneficial owner of a municipal security assumes the risk of, or
consents to, any initiative measure which would constitute an impairment of contractual rights under the
Contracts Clause of the United States Constitution. However, there can be no assurance thatthe voters of
the City will not, in the future, approve an initiative which attempts to reduce System Revenues.
Termination of Teeter Plan
The Storm Drainage Fees are included in the Teeter Plan. See "APPENDIX A - CITY OF
BURLINGAME FINANtTAT, AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION - TECTET PIAN.,' ThE
County of San Mateo Board of Supervisors is permitted, however, to discontinue the Teeter Plan with
OHSUSA:763800162.4
19
respect to the Storm Drainage Fees and assessments and no assurance can be given that the Teeter Plan
will continue with respect to the Storm Drainage Fees.

TAX MATTERS
In the opinion of Orrick, Herringlon & Sutcliffe LLP ("Bond Counsel"), based upon an analysis
of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, the
accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Bonds is
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code") and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. Bond Counsel
is of the further opinion that interest on the Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the
federal individual or corporate alternative minimum taxes, although Bond Counsel observes that such
interest is included in adjusted current earnings when calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable
income. Bond Counsel expects to deliver an opinion at the time of issuance of the Bonds substantially in
the form set forth in APPENDIX E hereto.
To the extent the issue price of any maturity of the Bonds is less than the amount to be paid at
maturity of such Bonds (excluding amounts stated to be interest and payable at least annually over the
term oi such Bonds), the difference constitutes "original issue discount," the accrual of which, to the
extent properly allocable to each Beneficial Owner thereof, is treated as interest on the Bonds which is
excludid i.orn gross income for federal income tax purposes and State of California personal income
taxes. For this purpose, the issue price of a particular maturity of the Bonds is the first price at which a
substantialurount of such maturity of the Bonds is sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, or
similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers).
The original issue discount with respect to any maturity of the Bonds accrues daily over the term to
maturity of such Bonds on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded semiannually (with straight-
line intlrpolations between compounding dates). The accruing original issue discount is added to the
adjusted basis of such Bonds to determine taxable gain or loss upon disposition (including sale,
reiemption, or payment on maturity) of such Bonds. Beneficial Owners of the Bonds should consult their
own tax advisois with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of Bonds with original issue discount,
including the treatment oi Beneficial Owners who do not purchase such Bonds in the original offering to
the public at the first price at which a substantial amount of such Bonds is sold to the public.
Bonds purchased, whether at original issuance or otherwise, for an amount higher than their
principal amount payable at maturity (or, in some cases, at their earlier call date) ("Premium Bonds") will
te treated as having amortizable bond premium. No deduction is allowable for the amortizable bond
premium in the casi of bonds, like the Premium Bonds, the interest on which is excluded from gross
in.o*" for federal income tax purposes. However, the amount of tax-exempt interest received, and a
Beneficial Owner's basis in a Premium Bond, will be reduced by the amount of amortizable bond
premium properly allocable to such Beneficial Owner. Beneficial Owners of Premium Bonds should
tonsult their own tax advisors with respect to the proper treatment of amortizable bond premium in their
particular circumstances.
The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from
gross income for fediral income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Bonds' The City and
Authority have made ceftain representations and covenanted to comply with certain restrictions,
conditions and requirements designed to ensure that interest on the Bonds will not be included in federal
gross income. Inaccuracy of these representations or failure to comply with these covenants may result in
interest on the Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, possibly from the
date of original issuance of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel assumes the accuracy of these
representations and compliance with these covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or
to inform any person) whether any actions taken (or not taken), or events occurring (or not occurring), or
any other matters coming to Bond Counsel's attention after the date of issuance of the Bonds may
adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Bonds. Accordingly, the opinion of Bond
OHSUSA:763800162.4
2l
Counsel is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon in connection with any such actions, events or
matters
Although Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross
income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes, the
ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of amounts treated as interest on, the Bonds may
otherwise affect a Beneficial Owner's federal, state or local tax liability. The nature and extent of these
other tax consequences depends upon the particular tax status of the Beneficial Owner or the Beneficial
Owner's other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such
other tax consequences.
Current and future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Code or court
decisions may cause interest on the Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to
federal income taxation or to be subject to or exempted from state income taxation, or otherwise prevent
Beneficial Owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. For example,
the Obama Administration's budget proposals in recent years have proposed legislation that would limit
the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds to some extent for high income individuals.
The introduction or enactment of any such legislative proposals or clarification of the Code or court
decisions may also affect, perhaps significantly, the market price for, or marketability of, the Bonds.
prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential impact
of any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond
Counsel is expected to express no opinion.
The opinion of Bond Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters not
directly addressed by such authorities, and represents Bond Counsel's judgment as to the proper treatment
of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. It is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (*IRS")
or the courts. Furthermore, Bond Counsel cannot give and has not given any opinion or assurance about
the future activities of the City, or about the effect of future changes in the Code, the applicable
regulations, the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS. The City has covenanted,
however, to comply with the requirements of the Code'
Bond Counsel's engagement with respect to the Bonds ends with the issuance of the Bonds, and,
unless separately engaged,- dond Counsel ii not obligated to defend the Authority, the City or the
Beneficial Owners rJguiAing the tax-exempt status of the Bonds in the event of an audit examination by
the IRS. Under currint pr6cedures, partiis other than the City and the Authority and their appointed
counsel, including the Blneficial Owners, would have little, if any, right to participate in the audit
examination pro."rr. Moreover, because achieving judicial review in connection with an audit
examination of tax-exempt bonds is difficult, obtaining an independent review of IRS positions with
which the Authority or the City legitimately disagrees, may not be practicable. Any action of the IRS,
including but not limited to seiection of the Bonds for audit, or the course or result of such audit, or an
audit of bonds presenting similar tax issues may affect the market price for, or the. marketability of, the
Bonds, and may cause thi Authority, the City or the Beneficial Owners to incur significant expense'
VALIDATION
On April 20, 2OlO, the City, acting pursuant to the provisions of Sections 860 et seq' of the
California Code of Civil procedure, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the County of San Mateo
(Case No. ClV4g4233). On June29,20l0, the court entered a default judgment to the effect, among
other things, that (i) the Storm Drainage Fees constitute a fee that is validly established, calculated, levied
OHSUSA:763800162.4
22
and collected, (ii) the use of Storm Drainage Fee revenues to make Installment Payments is a valid use of
the Storm Drainage Fee revenues, and (iii) the Bonds, the Trust Agreement and the Installment Sale
Agreement are valid, legal and binding obligations. The last day to file an appeal with respect to the
judgment was July 29,2010. No appealwas filed with respect to the judgment. In issuing its opinion as
to the validity of the Bonds, Trust Agreement and Installment Sale Agreement, Bond Counsel has relied
upon the entry of the foregoing default judgment.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the Bonds and certain other legal matters are subject to the approving opinion of
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the
Authority and the City by the City Attorney. Certain matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by
Stradling, Yocca Carlson & Rauth, A Professional Corporation. The proposed form of opinion of Bond
Counsel is set forth in APPENDIX E hereto, Bond Counsel undertakes no responsibility for the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of this Official Statement'

Assessor, except for public utility propeffy, which is assessed by the State Board of Equalization. Assessed
valuations are reported atl00o/o of the full value of the property, as defined in Article XIIIA of the California

..CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS AFFECTING CITY REVENUES AND

Two types of State-reimbursed exemptions affect the valuation of properfy. The first currently
exempts 100% of the full value of business inventories from taxation. The second exemption currently
provides a credit of $7,000 of the full value of an owner-occupied dwelling for which application has been
made to the County Assessor. Revenue estimated to be lost to local taxing agencies due to the above
exemptions has in the past been reimbursed from State sources. Reimbursement is based upon total taxes due
upon such exemption values and therefore is not reduced by any estimated amount of actual delinquencies.

Tax Rates
The basic tax rate for all taxing entities within a particular tax code area is $1 per $100 of assessed
valuation in accordance with Article XIIIA of the State Constitution. To this may be added whatever tax rates
are necessary to meet debt service on indebtedness approved by the voters.
Tax Levies, Collections and Delinquencies
Property taxes on the secured roll are due in two installments, on January lst and June lst of the fiscal
year. If unpaid, such taxes become delinquent on December 10th and April l0th, respectively, and a l0
percent penalty attaches to any delinquent payment. On July 1, an additional TY, percent per month is levied
bn delinquencies for five years. In addition, property on the secured roll with respect to which taxes are
delinquent is sold to the State on or about June 30th five years after the delinquency occurs. Such property
may tirereafter be redeemed by payment of the delinquent taxes and the delinquency penalty, plus a redemption
penalty of one percent per month to the time of redemption. If taxes are unpaid for a period of five years or
more, the property is deeded to the State and then is subject to sale by the County Tax Collector.
OHSUSA:763800162.4
A-5
Property taxes on the unsecured roll are due as of the March 1st lien date and become delinquent, if
unpaid, on August 3lst. A six percent penalty attaches to delinquent taxes on properfy on the unsecured roll,
and an additional penalty of one percent per month begins to accrue beginning November 1 st of the fiscal year.
Beginning in fiscal year 1978179, Proposition 13 and its implementing legislation shifted the function
of property taxation primarily to the counties, except for levies to support prior voted debt, and prescribed how
levies on countywide properry values are to be shared with local taxing entities within each county.
The total tax levies and year-end delinquencies for fiscal years 2010-1 1 through 2014-15 are set forth
in the following table.

Teeter Plan
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors utilizes the Alternative Method of Distribution of Tax
Levies and Collections and of Tax Sale Proceeds (the "Teeter Plan"), as provided for in Section 4701et seq. of
the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The Storm Drainage Fees are included in the Teeter Plan.
Generally, the Teeter Plan provides for a tax distribution procedure in which secured roll taxes and
assessments are distributed to taxing agencies within the County on the basis of the tax and assessment lery,
rather than on the basis of actual tax and assessment collections. The County then receives all future
delinquent tax and assessment payments and penalties. Pursuant to the Teeter Plan, the County establishes a
tax and assessment losses reserye fund and a tax resources accoun| and each entity levying or entitled to
receipt of property taxes in the County may draw on the amount of uncollected taxes and assessments credited
to its fund, in the same manner as if the amount credited had been collected.
The County is responsible for determining the amount of tax and assessment levy on each parcel
which is entered onto the secured real propeffy tax roll. Upon completion of the secured real property tax roll,
the County's Auditor-Controller determines the total amount of taxes and assessments actually extended on the
roll for each fund for which a tax levy has been included, and apportions 100 percent of the tax and assessment
levies to that fund's credit. Such moneys may thereafter be drawn against by the taxing agency in the same
manner as if the amount credited had been collected. The County determines which moneys in the county
treasury (including those credited to the tax and assessment losses reserye fund) shall be available to be drawn
OHSUSA:763800162.4
A-6
on to the extent of the amount of uncollected taxes and assessments credited to each fund for which a levy had
been included. When amounts are received on the secured tax roll for the current year, or for redemption of
tax-defaulted property, Teeter Plan moneys are distributed to the apportioned tax resources funds.
California State law has authorized the Teeter Plan for over 40 years; however, until 1993, it had been
implemented by only five counties. Legislation signed by the Governor on July 19, 1993 provided a financial
inducement to utilize this simplified accounting method. So long as the Teeter Plan is in place, the City is
expected to be credited with 100 percent of its property taxes, regardless of any delinquencies in payment of
the taxes. However, the County Board of Supervisors may discontinue the Teeter Plan at any time.

APPENDIX F
BOOK.ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM
Book-Entry Only System
The idormation in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtainedfrom
DTC. The Authority and City take no responsibility for the qccuracy or completeness thereof. The Authority and
City cannot and do not give any qssurances thqt DTC, DTC Participanls or Indirect Participants will dislribute to
the Beneficial Owners (a) payments of interest, principal or premium, d ony, with respect to the Bonds, (b)
certificates representing ownership interesl in or other confirmalion of ownership interest in the Bonds, or (c)
redemption or other notices sent to DTC or Cede & Co., its nominee, as the regislered owner of the Bonds, or that
they will so do on a tinely basis or that DTC, DTC Participqnts or DTC Indirect Participants will act in the manner
described in this Official Statement. The current "Rules" applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the current "Procedures" of DTC to befollowed in dealingwilh DTC Participonts are
onfilewith DTC.
DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities
registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Bond certificate for each maturity will be issued for the
Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of each maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world's largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New
York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the
Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code,
and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3,5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues,
corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 100 countries that DTC's participants
("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants
ofsales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers
and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities
certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust
companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities
Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC
is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both
U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect
Participants"). DTC has a Standard & Poor's rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
The information contained in such website is not incorporated by reference herein.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will
receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond
("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners
will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to
receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings,
from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of
ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect
Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing
their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is
discontinued.
OHSUSA:763800162.4
E-2
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the
name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such
other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual
Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts
such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will
remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to
Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by
arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of
significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults and proposed amendments to the
bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding Bonds
for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial
Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be
provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being
redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to
be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds
unless authorized by a Direct Panicipant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC
mails an omnibus proxy (the "Omnibus Proxy") to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus
Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are
credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may
be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon
DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Authority or the Trustee, on payable dates in
accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners
will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts
of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not
of DTC, the Trustee, or the Authority, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from
time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Authority or the Trustee, disbursement of such
payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the
Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time
by giving reasonable notice to the Authority or the Trustee, or the Authority or City may decide to discontinue use
of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor
securities depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered in accordance with
the provisions set forth in the Trust Agreement.
