To the Citizens of Butte County, California
Dear Citizens:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the County of Butte (County) for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2012, is hereby submitted in compliance with Sections 25250 and 25253 of the
Government Code of the State of California (State). Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and
the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the County. To the
best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data are accurate in all material respects and present fairly
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the County, as of June 30, 2012, and the respective
changes in financial position and cash flow, where applicable, thereof for the fiscal year then ended. All
disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the County's financial activities
have been included.
This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the Management's Discussion and Analysis and
should be read in conjunction with it. The County's MD&A can be found on pages 3 through 12 of this
report.
The financial reporting entity of the County includes all the funds of the primary government (i.e., Butte
County as legally defined), as well as all of its component units. Component units are legally separate
entities for which the primary government is financially accountable.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the primary
government's operations and are included as part of the primary government. Accordingly, certain
districts and agencies accounted for in the Special Revenue are reported as part of the primary
government.
For a more detailed overview of the County's component units see the Notes to the Basic Financial
Statements.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
One of the State's original 27 counties, the County was established by an act of the State Legislature on
February 18, 1850. The County is located in the northern portion of the Sacramento Valley. Rising from
the Sacramento River, the County's western boundary, to the Sierra Nevada Mountains, its eastern
perimeter, the County's 1,665 square miles range in elevation from sixty feet to over 7,000 feet resulting
in a considerable variation in climate. There are five incorporated cities/town located within the County:
v
Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Oroville, and Paradise. The County's population is 221,273 with approximately
38% of the residents living in the unincorporated area.
Policymaking and legislative authority is vested in the County Board of Supervisors (the Board), which
consists of an elected supervisor from each of five districts. The Board is responsible, among other things
for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, appointing the Chief Administrative
Officer (CAO), and appointing non-elected department heads. Supervisors are elected to four-year
staggered terms with two supervisors being elected in even-year elections and three supervisors being
elected in odd-year elections. The County Charter designates that certain officers are elected which are
responsible for the offices of the County. Clerk-Recorder, Assessor, Auditor-Controller, District
Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner, and Treasurer-Tax Collector.
The County provides a full range of services including sheriff; health and sanitation; the construction and
maintenance of highways, streets, and infrastructure assets; recreational activities and cultural events;
election; library; social services; and administration.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
Butte County is undertaking several major initiatives notwithstanding significant fiscal limitations:
Significant County-wide Budget Cuts
During the 2011/2012 fiscal year, the County continued to be affected by the global recession and
increasingly dire outlook from the California state government. The Board of Supervisors continues to
act quickly and decisively to ensure that the County remains financially stable through the fiscal year and
to create a prudent spending plan for the coming year. These actions included budget cuts and some
reductions in employee benefit costs in the County. While these cuts have placed strain on County
operations, the Board's decisions have enabled the County to continue to provide its necessary services to
its citizens despite the uncertain economic climate.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION
Global Recession
Butte County continues to steer through the ongoing uncertainties in the financial markets and the budget
concerns facing the State of California. The budget challenges faced by the county in the past fiscal year
have been met and we are anticipating possible impacts in the current county budget as the State of
California addresses possible reductions to be put in place based on lower revenue receipts that the State
is expenencmg.
Economy-driven impacts to County provided programs and services can be less severe with proactive
management of the County's budget. Finance, Treasurer and Auditor offices continue to work closely to
manage the cash demands on the County as the economy shows some slow improvement.
Impact of State Fiscal Crisis
The majority of the County's revenues come from the State of California. As the State has struggled to
come up with a sustainable, prudent, and balanced spending plan against the backdrop of the global
economic crisis, the County has been forced to stand by and react to sudden and evolving changes in
vi
funding. These changes have included delayed payments, borrowing from counties, suspending funding,
and cancelling funding altogether -even for services required to be performed by State mandate.
This uncertainty creates additional risk for the County. To mitigate this risk, all departments in the
County, led by the Administrative, Finance, Treasurer/Tax Collector and Auditor-Controller offices, have
conducted thorough reviews of their budgetary statuses, cash positions, and fiscal outlooks with close
monitoring taking place continuously.
Internal Control
The management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls designed
to ensure that the assets of the government are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that
adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles general accepted in the United States of America. Internal controls are
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of
reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be
derived; and (2) choices between these two concepts often require estimates and judgments by
management.
Single Audit
As a recipient of federal and state financial assistance, the County is required to undergo an annual single
audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and the U.S. Office
of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non profit
Organizations. Information related to this single audit, include the schedule of federal awards, findings
and questioned costs, and the independent auditor's report on internal control and compliance. The
County is also responsible for ensuring that adequate internal controls are in place to ensure compliance
with applicable laws and regulations related to those programs. Internal controls are subject to periodic
evaluation by management and the Auditor-Controller Division's internal audit staff. The 2011-12 Single
Audit will be issued under separate cover and will be available by contacting the Auditor-Controller's
office, after March 31, 2013.
Budgeting Controls
In addition to accounting controls, the County maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these
controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget
approved by the Board of Supervisors.
In accordance with the provisions of Sections 29000 and 29143, inclusive, of the California Government
Code and other statutory provisions, commonly known as the County Budget Act, the County prepares a
budget for each fiscal year on or before August 30. Budgeted expenditures are enacted into law through
the passage of an Appropriation Ordinance. This ordinance mandates the maximum authorized
expenditures for the fiscal year and cannot be exceeded except by subsequent amendments to the budget
by the County's Board of Supervisors.
An operating budget is adopted each fiscal year for all Governmental Funds. Expenditures are controlled
at the object level within budget units for the County. The object level within a budget unit is the level at
which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations. Any amendments or transfers of
appropriations between object levels within the same budget unit or between departments or funds are
authorized by the County Chief Administrative Officer's office and must be approved by the Board of
Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors must approve supplementary appropriations normally financed by
unanticipated revenues during the year. Pursuant to Board Resolution, the County Chief Administrative
vii
Officer is authorized to approve transfers and revision of appropriations under $50,000 within a single
budget unit as deemed necessary and appropriate. Budgeted amounts in the budgetary financial schedules
are reported as originally adopted and are amended during the fiscal year by resolutions approved by the
Board of Supervisors.
The County uses an encumbrances system as an extension of normal budgetary accounting for the
general, special revenue, and other debt service funds and to assist in controlling expenditures of the
capital projects funds. Under this system, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the
expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of applicable appropriations.
The County also maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing
budgetary control and cash planning. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year.
OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit
County charter requires an annual audit by independent certified public accountants. The firm of Gallina,
LLP was selected by the County to meet this requirement. The goal of the independent audit was to
provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the County for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2012, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements: and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. The independent auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that there
was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified ("clean") opinion that the County's basic financial
statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, are fairly presented in conformity with accounting
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent auditor's report is
presented as the first item of the financial section of the report.
Awards and Acknowledgments
The GFOA awarded the prestigious Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to
the County for successful completion of the CAFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The award
was also given for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2010. In order to be awarded a Certificate of
Achievement, the government had to publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR that
satisfied both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and applicable
legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current CAFR
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the
GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this Comprehensive Annual Financial Report could not have been accomplished
without the efficient and dedicated services of staff from the Auditor-Controller office and the
cooperation and assistance of all County departments. I would like to commend the Board of Supervisors
for its interest, support, and exemplary leadership in planning and conducting the financial operations of
the County in a responsive and progressive manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR' S REPORT
Board of Supervisors
County of Butte, California
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
County of Butte, California, (the County), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2012, which
collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the County's management. 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 Standards, 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 includes consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
County's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
also audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the basic financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In 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 County as of June 30, 2012,
and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the
year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued under separate cover,
our report dated December 20, 2012, on our consideration of the County'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 Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

Board of Supervisors
County of Butte, California
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
Management's Discussion and Analysis and the other required supplementary information, as
listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, 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.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the County of Butte's basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical
section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. 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 financial statements. The
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 financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our
opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion or provide any assurance on it.

In this section of the County of Butte's (County) Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the County's
management discusses financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. It should be read in
conjunction with the County's financial statements following this section. All dollar amounts are
expressed in thousands in the text and tables unless otherwise indicated.
I. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets of the County exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$334,254 (net assets). Of this amount, $15,440 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the
government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The government's total net assets decreased by $17,511 during the fiscal year excluding prior period
adjustments.
• As of June 30, 2012, the County's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$100,378, a net increase of $1,183 in comparison with the prior fiscal year, excluding the previous
period adjustments. Amounts available for spending include restricted, committed, assigned and
unassigned fund balances; these totaled $99,724, or 99% of ending fund balance. Of this amount
$83,185 is restricted by law or externally imposed requirements, and $809 is committed for specific
purposes.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the assigned and unassigned fund balances for the general fund
was $17,456 or 14.7% of total general fund expenditures.
The County's total long-term obligations as of June 30, 2012 increased by $1,831 over the prior
period. The key factors in the increase were the addition of $347 in Claims and Judgments, reduction
of $337 in Compensated Absences, reduction of $234 in long-term notes, and the addition of $2,920
in the OPEB obligation.
II. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. GASB 34 Financial Report Model
The County of Butte has adopted a financial reporting model that is designed to demonstrate government
accountability by presenting both along-term and anear-term view of its finances. This model is
prescribed by Statement Number 34 of the Government Accounting Standard Board (GASB 34). This
model is comprised of three parts: 1) Management's Discussion and Analysis which provides the
financial highlights; 2) The County's basic financial statements, which consist of the Government-Wide
financial statements; the Fund financial statements, and the Notes to the financial statements; and
3) Required Supplementary Information.
B. Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements provide an overview of the County's finances, in a manner
similar to aprivate-sector business that is, using the accrual basis of accounting. They demonstrate
accountability of Butte County by showing the extent to which it has met operating objectives efficiently
and effectively, using all resources available, and whether it can continue to do so.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the County's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may
serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the County is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information on expenses and revenues to show how the government's
net assets changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues are
reported as soon as earned and expenses are reported as soon as incurred even though the related cash
flows may not take place until future fiscal periods (e.g., earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of these government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the County that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the County include general government,
public protection, public ways and facilities, health and sanitation, public assistance, education, and
recreation. The business-type activities of the County include the Butte County Neal Road Landfill.
Certain component units such as county service areas are essentially part of County operations and their
financial data are blended in with operational funds of the County.
C. Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide evidence of accountability by demonstrating compliance with
budgetary decisions made in public forum. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that are used to
maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or purposes stipulated by
laws, regulations or policies. The funds of the County are divided into three categories: governmental,
proprietary, and fiduciary.
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such
information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.
The County maintains 143 individual governmental funds. On the financial statements for governmental
funds information is presented separately for six major funds: the General Fund, the Welfare Fund, the
Public Health Fund, the Behavioral Health Fund, and the Road Fund. Data from the other governmental
funds are aggregated into a single column.
Proprietary funds are of two types. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as
business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The County uses an enterprise fund
to account for its central landfill operations. Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate
costs internally among the County's various functions. The County uses internal service funds to account
for insurance and utilities. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than
business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide
financial statements.
4
Proprietary funds statements provide the same type of information as the part of government-wide
financial statements pertaining to business-type activities, only in more detail. The County's internal
service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial
statements.
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources of
those funds are not available to support the County's programs. In the fiduciary fund category, the
County maintains both agency funds and investment trust funds.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the financial information provided in the government-wide and fund financial
statements.
D. Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements, this report presents Required Supplementary Information.
The required supplementary information is presented concerning the County's progress in funding its
obligation to provide pension benefits to its employees and the County General fund budgetary
comparison schedule and the major special revenue funds.
E. Combining Statements and Schedules
The combining and individual fund statements and schedules referred to earlier provide information for
nonmajor governmental funds, internal service funds, and fiduciary funds and are presented immediately
following the required supplementary information.

Investment in capital assets net of related debt reflects the County's investment in capital assets (i.e. its
land, structures and improvements, infrastructure, and equipment). The County uses these capital assets
to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although
the County's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
Restricted net assets represent resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used.
Unrestricted net assets represent 4.7% of the total net assets and may be used to meet the County's
ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
Beside the amount invested in capital assets, there are externally imposed debt service reserve and
statutory constraints on the use of 100% of the restricted net assets.
The following table presents the activities that accounted for the changes in net assets.

The following highlights significant factors that affected the governmental and business-type activities
and contributed to the decrease in net assets:
• Governmental Activities accounted for a decrease in net assets of $19,036, primarily due to
current year depreciation expense of the County's infrastructure (roads and bridges), which
amounted to $24,347.
• Business-Type Activities accounted for an increase in net assets of $1,526, primarily due to
current year revenues exceeding expenses.

IV. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF FUNDS
As noted earlier, the County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with budgetary
and legal requirements.
Governmental funds The general government functions are included in the General, Special Revenue,
Capital Project, and Debt Service Funds. Included in these funds are the special districts governed by the
Board of Supervisors. The focus of the County's governmental funds is to provide information on near-
term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
County's financing requirements. In particular, total fund balance less the nonspendable portion is a
useful measure of the County's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At June 30, 2012, the County's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$100,378. The components of total fund balance are as follows:
• Nonspendable fund balance - $655, are amounts that are not spendable in form, or are legally or
contractually required to be maintained intact, and are made up of inventories and prepaid
expenses.
• Restricted fund balance - $83,185, consists of amounts with constraints put on their use by
externally imposed creditors, grantors, contributions, laws, regulations or enabling legislation.
• Committed fund balance - $809, are amounts for specific purposes determined by the Board of
Supervisors, such as debt service of $721.
• Assigned fund balance - $5,059 represents $3,500 set aside for emergency reserves and $1,559 as
a reserve for contingencies.
• Unassigned fund balance - $10,670, represents the residual classification for the County's
General Fund.
Approximately 99%, or $99,724, of the total fund balances is available to meet the County's current and
future needs. With the approval of the Board of Supervisors, County management can earmark a portion
of fund balance to a particular function, project or activity, and can also earmark it for purposes beyond
the current year, within the constraints applied to the various categories of fund balance. With the
exception of the nonspendable portion, fund balances are available for appropriation at any time.
The general fund is the main operating fund of the County. The general fund's fund balance increased by
$9,015 during the current fiscal year, excluding prior period adjustments. As a result of GASB 54
implementation, Funds categorized as Special Revenue were analyzed to determine they still qualified for
that classification. Analysis determined fire fund, water fund and library fund no longer met that
classification therefore were collapsed into general fund, which contributed to the increase in general fund
balance. Negotiations with all bargaining units resulted in Butte County employees increased contribution
towards their pension resulting in a shift of expenditures from the County to the employees which also
contributed to increased fund balance.
As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it is useful to compare both total fund balance and spendable
fund balance to total fund expenditures. Total fund balance equates to 31.3% of total fund expenditures,
while spendable fund balance equates to 31.0% of total fund expenditures. Of the general fund spendable
fund balance, $18,715 or 50.2% is restricted, and $809, or 2.2% is committed.
The welfare fund has a total fund balance of $4,636. The entire amount, $4,636 is restricted. The overall
fund balance increased by $3,251 due to the new complicated 2011 Realignment delaying payments from
the State.
The public health fund has a total fund balance of $12,254. The entire amount, $12,254 is restricted. The
overall fund balance decreased by $839 due primarily due to Health Realignment Vehicle License Fees
being received at $652,734 below base level funding. In addition, the department planned and budgeted to
use restricted cash to help support one-time costs.
The behavioral health fund has a total fund balance of $(1,726). The entire amount, $(1,726) is
unassigned. The overall fund balance decreased by $1,569 mainly due to the State converting to new
information systems specifically for implementing HIPAA compliance and data transfers. This
conversion created a delay in current fiscal year payments. In addition, the new complicated 2011
Realignment Program delaying payments from the state also contributed to the decrease in fund balance.
The road fund has a total fund balance of $15,879. Of this amount, $364 is nonspendable, and the
balance of $15,515 is restricted. The overall fund balance decreased by $136 during the current fiscal
year, due to decreased revenues from other local governmental projects.
The following table presents revenues from various sources as well as reflecting increases or decreases
from the prior fiscal year in the governmental funds.

Revenue.
• Use of Money and Property -Interest rates on investments and the value of investments continued to
decrease in the current year.
• Other -Decreased revenue under other is primarily due to decrease in other sales as a result of
demand falling in this weak economy.

Proprietary funds The County's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. The funds include the enterprise funds: the
County Central Landfill Fund; and the internal service funds, which are presented in aggregate.
The Landfill fund has total net assets of $24,307. Of this amount, $8,797 is invested in capital assets, net
of related debt, and the balance of $15,510 is unreserved. Overall net assets increased by $1,842 due to
an increase in capital assets and revenues exceeding expenses.
V. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget for revenues were an increase of
$23,527. This increase was due to the County anticipating more aid from other governments than was
originally anticipated.
During the fiscal year, actual revenues were less than budgetary estimates by $24,770. The primary
reason for the decrease was the decreased revenue received by aid from other governments.
VL CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
A. Capital Assets
The County's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of
June 30, 2012, amounts to $250,367 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets
includes land, structures and improvements, equipment, construction-in-progress, and infrastructure. The
total decrease in the County's net investment in capital assets for the current period was 6.6%. The
decrease resulted from infrastructure depreciation exceeding infrastructure assets acquired by $16,674.
Additional information on the County's capital assets can be found in the Notes to the Financial
Statements section of this report on page 48, note 5 -Capital Assets.
Key events affecting capital assets during the fiscal year included the following:
• Construction in progress capital assets being transferred to structures and improvements and
equipment.
• For government-wide financial statement presentation, all depreciable capital assets were depreciated
from acquisition date to the end of the current fiscal year. Fund financial statements record capital
asset purchases as expenditures.

B. Long-Term Obligations
At June 30, 2012, the County had total long-term obligations outstanding of $103,232 consisting of
$12,129 in Certificates of Participation, capital lease obligations of $791, bonds payable of $49,895, loan
payable of $200, and notes payable of $1,818. Additional long-term liabilities include compensated leave
payable of $14,057, actuarial claims liability of $5,926 for general insurance and worker's compensation
self insurance, landfill closure/post closure care liability of $3,431, and OPEB obligation of $14,985.
Additional information on the County's long-term liabilities can be found in the Notes to the Financial
Statements section of this report on page 50, note 7 -Long-Term Obligations.
VII. Fiscal Outlook
The County adopted its fiscal year 2012-2013 Final Budget in the total amount of $448,308, with a
General Fund overall emergency reserve level of $4,500. This emergency reserve consists of General
Reserve for $3,500 and an Appropriation for Contingency of $1,000. The County will continue to face
difficult fiscal challenges in the foreseeable future. Although the most critical fiscal uncertainty facing the
County continues to be the impact on local government resulting from actions the State of California may
take in addressing its own fiscal problems including the new public safety and health and human services
realignment. Declining revenues, increasing social service and indigent health caseloads due to the
declining economy will also impact the ability of the County to maintain current service levels.
Conversely, real estate values are improving in certain areas of the County, resulting in a 2% property tax
increase allowed under Proposition 13. Also, the County has negotiated agreements with southern
California water districts to lease our excess water that will produce up to $1.2 million annually for the
next two years.

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET
TO THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement
of net assets are different because:
Fund balances-total governmental funds $ 100,378,391
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and,
therefore, are not reported in the governmental funds. These assets consist of:
Land $ 2,640,691
Construction in progress 3,792,322
Infrastructure 590,523,872
Structures and improvements 66,329,578
Equipment 54,807,379
Less: accumulated depreciation (486,645,341)
Total capital assets 231,448,501
In governmental funds, other long-term assets are not available to pay for current-period
expenditures:
Net pension asset 48,246,989
Loans receivable 2,731,732
Governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs and similar items when debt
is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of
activities. This amount is the long-term debt issuance costs. 118,437
Interest payable on long-term debt does not require current financial resources,
therefore, interest payable is not reported as a liability in the Governmental Funds
Balance Sheet. (12,788)
Internal service funds are used by the county to charge the cost of liability,
malpractice, and worker's compensation insurance to individual funds. The
assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are included in governmental
activities in the statement of net assets. 10,636,420
Long-term liabilities applicable to the County's governmental activities are not
due and payable in the current period and accordingly are not reported as fund
liabilities. Interest on long-term debt is not accrued in governmental funds, but
rather is recognized as an expenditure when due. All liabilities are reported in the
statement of net assets. Balances as of June 30, 2012 are:
Certificates of participation (2,237,333)
Bonds payable (49,895,000)

COUNTY OF BUTTE, CALIFORNIA
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND
CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE
GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENTS OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
The schedule below reconciles the Net Changes in Fund Balances reported on the Governmental Funds Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances, which measure only changes in current assets and current
liabilities on the modified accrual basis, with the Change in Net Assets of Governmental Activities reported in the
Statement of Activities, which is prepared on the full accrual basis.
Net change to fund balances-total governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the
statements of activities are different because:
Governmental funds reported capital outlay as expenditures. However, in
the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is capitalized and allocated
over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Capital outlay expenditures are therefore added back to fund balances
Depreciation expense not reported in governmental funds
Other capital asset adjustments
Governmental funds the effect of the pension asset when first paid, whereas
the amount is deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.
Decrease in pension asset
Repayment oflong-term receivables is treated as revenue in governmental funds,
but the repayment reduces long-term receivables in the Statement of Net Assets.
Issuance oflong-term receivables is treated as expenditures in the governmental funds,
but the issuance increases long-term receibables in the Statement of Net Assets.
Change in loans receivable
Debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds; however
issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. Costs
associated with the issuance of long-term debt are reported as expenditures in the
governmental funds, but in the statement of net assets, the costs are deferred and
amortized throughout the period during which the related debt is outstanding. Repayment
of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but in the statement of
net assets the repayment reduces long-term liabilities.
Principal payments
Proceeds from issuance of debt
Amortization expense of costs of issuance not reported
in governmental funds
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting used in the governmental funds,
expenditures are not recognized for transactions that are normally paid with
expendable available financial resources. In the statement of activities, however,
which is presented on the accrual basis, expenses and liabilities are reported
regardless of when financial resources are available (net change).
Interest payable
Other postemployment benefits
Compensated absences
Internal service funds are used by the County to charge the costs of liability,
malpractice, and worker's compensation insurance to individual funds. The net
revenue of internal service funds is reported with governmental activities.

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. The Financial Reporting Entity
The County of Butte (the County), which was incorporated as a County in 1850 as one of the
State's original 27 counties, is a legal subdivision of the State of California charged with
governmental powers. The County's powers are exercised through a Board of Supervisors,
which, as the governing body of the County, is responsible for the legislative and executive
control of the County. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, these financial statements present the government and its component units;
legally separate entities for which the County is considered to be financially accountable.
Financial accountability is demonstrated by the County Board of Supervisors acting as the
governing board for each of the component units.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the
County's operations: therefore data from these units are combined with data of the primary
government. Each blended component unit has a June 30, 2012 fiscal year-end.
In evaluating how to define the County for financial reporting purposes, management has
considered all potential component units. The decision to include a potential component unit
in the reporting entity was made by applying the criteria set forth in Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 14 "The Financial Reporting Entity."
Based on the criteria established by GASB 14, as amended by GASB Statement No. 39, the
reporting entity also includes the following blended component units, which are Special
Districts under control of the Board of Supervisors:
County Service Area (CSA) -Lighting

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
B. Basis of Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The statement of net assets and statement of activities display information about the primary
government (the County) and its blended component units. These statements include the
financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations
have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. These statements
distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the County.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant
extent on fees charged to external parties.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the program expenses of a given
function are offset by program revenues. Program expenses include direct expenses, which
are clearly identifiable with a specific function, and allocated indirect expenses. Program
revenues include 1) fees, fines, and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered
by the programs and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational
or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program
revenues, including all taxes, are presented instead as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the County's funds, including
fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category -
governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary -are presented. The emphasis of fund financial
statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate
column. All remaining governmental funds are separately aggregated and reported as other
governmental funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services and operating expenses,
result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund.
Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal
values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings and nonoperating
expenses, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
GASB Statement No. 34 defines major funds and requires that the County's major
governmental and proprietary funds are identified and presented separately in the fund
financial statements. All other funds, called nonmajor funds, are combined and reported in a
single column, regardless of their fund-type.
Major funds are defined as funds that have assets, liabilities, revenues, or
expenditures/expenses equal to or greater than ten percent of their fund-type total and five
percent of all fund-type totals. The General Fund is always a major fund. The County may
also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.

COUNTY OF BUTTE, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
B. Basis of Presentation (continued)
The County reports the following major governmental funds
• The General Fund is used to account for all revenues and expenditures necessary to carry
out basic governmental activities of the County that are not accounted for through other
funds. For the County, the General Fund includes such activities as public protection,
public ways and facilities, health and sanitation, public assistance, education and
recreation services.
• The Welfare Fund was established to account for the activities of the Butte County
Department of Employment and Social Services. The department administers the
CalWorks program, Adult and Children's Protection Services and various other State,
Federal and local assistance programs.
• The Public Health Fund was established to account for the activities of the Butte County
Department of Public Health. The department provides a wide range of services designed
to protect and enhance the well being of the community.
• The Behavioral Health Fund was established to account for the activities of the Butte
County Department of Behavioral Health. The department provides a comprehensive
continuum of services meeting community needs related to mental health and substance
abuse problems.
• The Road Fund provides for planning, design, construction, maintenance, and
administration of County transportation planning activities. Revenues consist primarily
of the County's share of state highway user taxes and are supplemented by federal funds.
The County reports the following major enterprise funds:
• The Landfill Fund was established to account for the County's costs of providing landfill
and related waste disposal services to the citizens of Butte County in both the
unincorporated and incorporated areas of the County.
The County reports the following additional fund types:
Internal Service Funds account for the County's risk management on a cost-
reimbursementbasis. Internal Service Funds are presented in summary form as part of the
proprietary fund financial statements. In the government-wide financial statements, the
changes in net assets at the end of the fiscal year, as presented in the statements of
activities, were allocated to the user functions of the governmental activities, to reflect
the entire activity for the year. Since the predominant users of the internal services are
the County's governmental activities, the asset and liability balances of the internal
service funds are consolidated into the governmental activities column at the
government-wide level.

COUNTY OF BUTTE, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
B. Basis of Presentation (continued)
• The Investment Trust Fund accounts for the assets of legally separate entities that deposit
cash with the County Treasurer in an investment pool, which commingles resources in
the investment portfolio for the benefit of all participants. These entities include school
and community college districts, other special districts governed by local boards, regional
boards and authorities and pass through funds for tax collections for cities.
The Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of the results
of operations. Such funds have no equity accounts since all assets are due to individuals
or entities at some future time. These funds account for assets held by the County as an
agent for other government units. These units include Butte County SB-325 and SB-620,
and other special districts governed by local boards, regional boards and authorities and
pass through funds for tax collections for cities.
C. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and
fiduciary fund financial statements.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are
incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in
which the County gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value
in exchange, include property and sales taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an
accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes
are levied. Revenues from sales tax are recognized when the underlying transactions take
place. Revenues from grants, entitlements, and donations are recognized in the fiscal year in
which all eligible requirements have been satisfied.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial measurement focus and modified
accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when "susceptible to
accrual" (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the
amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means that revenues are
collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of
the current period. Property tax revenues are recognized in the current year if they are
collected within 60 days of fiscal year end. For all other revenues, the County considers
revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal
period. Revenues not considered available are recorded as deferred revenue. The County's
other primary revenue sources: investment income, intergovernmental revenues and charges
for services have been treated as "susceptible to accrual" under the modified accrual basis.
Licenses and permits, fines, forfeitures and penalties, and other revenue are not considered
"susceptible to accrual" under the modified accrual basis and are recorded as revenues when
received. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred. However, debt
service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and
Judgments, are recorded when payment is due.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
C. Basis of Accounting (continued)
When both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available, unrestricted resources are used
only after the restricted resources are depleted.
For its proprietary funds, the County has elected under GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting
and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities that Use
Proprietary Fund Accounting, to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as any
applicable pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Accounting
Principles Board or any Accounting Research Bulletins issued on or before
November 30, 1989 unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB
pronouncements. The GASB periodically updates its codification of the existing
Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards which, along with subsequent
GASB pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations), are accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The County maintains a Cash and Investment Pool (Pool) that is available for use by all
County funds, and agencies outside of the County reporting entity may participate in the
Pool. The participation of these agencies is involuntary, except for the Butte County Fair.
The outside agencies participating in the Investment Pool are Superior Court, Butte County
Fair, Autonomous Special Districts, Schools, Community College Districts, and the Butte
County Association of Governments.
The pool is not registered as an investment company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) nor is it an SEC Rule 2a7-like pool. California Government Code, the
County's Treasury Oversight Committee, and the Board of Supervisors annually set forth the
investment policy that the County Treasurer must follow.
State statutes and the County's investment policy authorize the County Treasurer to invest in
instruments described in California Government Code Section 53601 and 53635, including
but not limited to: U.S. Government Treasury and Agency Securities, bankers' acceptances,
commercial paper, corporate bonds and notes, repurchase agreements and the State
Treasurer's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). In accordance with GASB Statement
No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and External Investment
Pools, investments held by the County Treasurer are stated at fair value.
The fair value of investments in the Pool is determined monthly based upon quoted market
prices. The County has not provided nor obtained any legally binding guarantees during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 to support the values of shares in the Pool. However,
management believes that the investments in the Pool are of high quality and that the risk of
participation in the Pool is negligible. The Pool is subject to oversight by the Treasury
Oversight Committee, as recommended by the California Debt and Investment Advisory
Commission.

COUNTY OF BUTTE, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents (continued)
The Pool values participants' shares on an amortized cost basis. Specifically, the Pool
distributes income to participants quarterly based on their relative participation during the
month, which is calculated based on (1) realized investment gains and losses computed on an
amortized cost basis, (2) interest income based on stated rates (both paid and accrued),
(3) amortization of discounts and premiums on a straight-line basis, and (4) investment and
administrative expenses. This method differs from the fair value method used to value
investments in these financial statements because the amortized cost method is not designed
to distribute to participants all unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of the Pool's
investments. Investment income related to investments reported in certain funds is assigned
to other funds based upon legal or contractual provisions.
State law requires that the County Treasurer hold all operating monies of the County, school
districts and certain special districts. Collectively, these mandatory deposits constituted
approximately 90.6% of the funds on deposit in the County Treasury.
For purposes of the accompanying statement of cash flows -Proprietary Funds, the County
considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased, and their equity in the County Treasurer's investment pool, to be cash equivalents.
E. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories are valued at cost, which is determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and consist
primarily of expendable supplies held for consumption. The cost is recorded as expenditure
when the items are used. In the governmental funds balance sheet, there is a reservation of
fund balance equal to the inventory balance as these amounts are not available for
appropriation.
Payments made for services that will benefit future accounting periods are recorded as
prepaid items. In the governmental fund types, there is a reservation of fund balance equal to
the amount of prepaid items, since these amounts are not available for appropriation.
F. Property Taxes
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on January 1. Secured taxes are levied on July 1
and are payable in two installments due by December 10 and April 10. All general property
taxes are then allocated by the County Auditor-Controller's Office to the various taxing
entities per the legislation-implementing Proposition 13. The method of allocation used by
the County is subject to review by the State of California.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
F. Property Taxes (continued)
Alternative Method of Distribution of Tax Levies
The County utilizes the alternative method of property tax distribution, whereby the County,
through the legally required Tax Resource Agency Fund purchases the current secured unpaid
taxes remaining at year-end from participating agencies. In return, the Tax Resource Agency
Fund records a tax receivable and receives the delinquent secured taxes. The Tax Loss
Reserve Agency Fund receives delinquent penalties and redemption interest accruing to
delinquent collections related to participating agencies. The participating agencies, including
the County, the special districts, and the school districts, in turn, receive their full tax
distribution with no liability for uncollected taxes to the Tax Resource Agency Fund.
Therefore, for participating agencies, revenue is measurable and available and is recorded in
the period the payment of current secured unpaid taxes is received.
The County is required to create a tax loss reserve fund (an agency fund) under one of two
alternative methods: 1) one percent of the total amount of taxes and assessments levied on
the secured roll for the year or 2) twenty-five percent of the total delinquent secured taxes and
assessments as calculated at the end of the fiscal year. The County is using one percent of the
total amount of taxes and assessments levied on the secured roll for the year to establish its
tax loss reserve.
G. Loans Receivable
Loans receivable relate to the Housing and Community Development Program funded by
federal and state monies. Loans receivable are collateralized by deeds of trust. Proceeds
from the collection of the loans receivable and resale of assets held for sale are restricted by
the terms of the grant and, accordingly, are reported as a nonspendable component of fund
balance since they do not constitute available spendable resources. No amount has been
provided as an allowance for doubtful accounts because in the opinion of management all
material amounts are fully collectible.
H. Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical
cost if actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are valued at their
estimated fair market value on the date contributed. Capital assets include public domain
(infrastructure) general capital assets consisting of certain improvements including roads,
bridges, water/sewer, lighting system, drainage systems, and flood control. The County
defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $25,000 for
machinery, equipment and computer software; more than $125,000 for infrastructure,
buildings and land improvements; and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Capital
assets used in operations are depreciated or amortized (assets under capital leases) using the
straight-line method over the lesser of the capital lease period or their estimated useful lives
in the government-wide statements and the proprietary funds.

Capital Assets (continued)
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Infrastructure 20 to 50 years
Structures and improvements 20 to 50 years
Machinery & Equipment 5 to 20 years
Vehicles 5 to 15 years
I.
The County has five networks of infrastructure assets -roads, water/sewer, lighting,
drainage, and flood control Infrastructure has been included in the County's capital assets at
historical cost and related depreciation.
Compensated Absences
The liability for compensated absences reported in the government-wide and proprietary fund
statements consists of unpaid, accumulated leave balances. The liability has been calculated
using the vesting method, in which leave amounts for both employees who currently are
eligible to receive termination payments and other employees who are expected to become
eligible in the future to receive such payments upon termination are included.
Interfund Receivables and Payables
Interfund transactions are reflected as either loans, services provided, reimbursements, or
transfers. Loans are reported as receivables and payables as appropriate, are subject to
elimination upon consolidation and are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e.,
the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the noncurrent
portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental
activities and the business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial
statements as "internal balances". Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial
statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to
indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not available financial resources.
Services provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and
expenditures/expenses. Reimbursements are when one fund incurs a cost, charges the
appropriate benefiting fund, and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All other
interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental or proprietary
funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide presentation.
K. Use of Estimates
The preparation of basic 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.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
L. Presentation of financial information related to County fiduciary responsibilities
The basic financial statements also include an Investment Trust fund to account for cash and
investments held by the County Treasurer for numerous self-governed school and special districts.
The financial reporting for these governmental entities, which are independent of the County, is
limited to the total amount of cash and investments and other assets, and the related fiduciary
responsibility of the County for disbursement of these assets. School and special district boards
that are separately elected and that are independent of the County Board of Supervisors,
administer activities of the school districts and special districts. The County Auditor-Controller
makes disbursements upon the request of the responsible self-governed special district officers.
The Board has no effective authority to govern, manage, approve budgets, assume financial
accountability, establish revenue limits, or appropriate surplus funds available in these entities.
Therefore, these entities are fiscally independent of the County. Five cities and numerous self-
governed special districts provide services to the residents of the County. The operations of these
entities have been excluded from the basic financial statements since each entity conducts its own
day-to-day operations and is controlled by its own governing board.
M. Net Assets
The government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements utilize a net
assets presentation. Net assets are categorized as invested in capital assets (net of related debt),
restricted net assets, or unrestricted net assets. Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt-
This category groups all capital assets, including infrastructure, into one component of net assets.
Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the
acquisition, construction, or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
Restricted Net Assets- This category presents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors,
contributors or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or legislation. Unrestricted Net Assets- This category represents net
assets of the County, not restricted for any project or other purpose.
N. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance as nonspendable,
restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned based primarily on the extent to which the County
is bound to honor constraints on how specific amounts can be spent.
• Nonspendable Fund Balance -amounts that are not in a spendable form or are legally or
contractually required to be maintained intact (such as inventories or prepaid amounts).
• Restricted Fund Balance -amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by
external parties (such as creditors, grant providers or contributors) or by law.

• Committed Fund Balance -amounts that can be used only for the specific purpose determined by
the Board of Supervisors. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the Board of
Supervisors taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally. The formal
action must occur prior to the end of the reporting period. The amount which will be subject to
the constraint maybe determined in the subsequent period.
• Assigned Fund Balance -amounts intended to be used by the government entity for specific
purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. Intent can be expressed by the Board of
Supervisors or by an official or body to which the Board delegates the authority. Assigned fund
balance can be used to eliminate a projected budgetary deficit in the subsequent year's budget.
Unassigned Fund Balance -the residual classification for the General Fund and includes all
amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically mailable
for any purpose.
Fund Balance Policy -based on the County's policy regarding the fund balance classification that
was approved by the Board of Supervisors, when both restricted and unrestricted funds are
mailable for expenditure, restricted funds should be spent first unless legal requirements disallow
it. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any unrestricted fund
balance classification could be used, committed funds are to be spent first, assigned funds second,
and unassigned funds last.
Only the Board of Supervisors has the authority to assign unassigned fund balance amounts where
the County's intent is for those amounts to be used for specific purposes.

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value
to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the County manages its exposure to interest rate
risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows
from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time
as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. Information about the
sensitivity of the fair values of the County's investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to
market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the
County's investments by maturity:

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder
of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical
rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California
Government Code, the County's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of fiscal
year end for each investment type.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial
institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral
securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk
that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will
not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of
another party. The California Government Code and the County's investment policy do not contain legal
or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments,
other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial
institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an
undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the
governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least
110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial
institutions to secure County deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150%
of the secured public deposits. It is our practice to disallow first trust deed mortgage notes as collateral
for the County's secured deposits.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The County is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by
the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. This fund
is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company, but is required
to invest according to California State Code. Participants in the pool include voluntary and involuntary
participants, such as special districts and school districts for which there are legal provisions regarding
their investments. The Local Investment Advisory Board (Board) has oversight responsibility for LAIF.
The Board consists of five members as designated by State Statute. The fair value of the County's
investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the
County's pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the
amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records
maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Investment Trust of California Joint Powers Authority Pool
The County Treasurer's Pool maintains an investment in the Investment Trust of California Joint Powers
Authority Pool ("CalTRUST"). CalTRUST is not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an investment company, but is overseen by a Board of Trustees composed of officials of
the public agencies that participate in Ca1TRUST. The fair value of the County's position in the pool is
approximately the same as the value of the pool shares.

Upon termination, an employee may be compensated for sick leave amounts accrued over 240 hours at
half the normal pay rate not to exceed $3,000. Upon retirement, County employees have aone-time
option of cashing out their accrued sick leave or electing post retirement health insurance benefits up to
age 65. If an employee has 10 years of cumulative service, the County will pay health insurance benefits
for 12 months plus 1 month for every 8 hours in excess of 240 hours accrued sick leave (employee
coverage only). Vacation is accrued at varying rates depending on an employee's years of services.
Upon termination, an employee is paid at 100% of the amount accrued. Compensated absences for
vacation are paid out at the employee's current rate of pay. Administrative leave is accrued by employees
exempt from paid overtime and may be accrued up to a maximum of 352 hours.
The County does not accrue for compensated absences in its governmental fund statements and
recognizes liabilities for compensated absences only if they are due and payable in an event such as
termination. However, in the statement of activities the expense is allocated to each function based on
usage.
The compensated absences liability attributable to the governmental activities will be liquidated as
follows: General Fund 53%, Welfare Fund 16%, Public Health Fund 6%, Behavioral Health Fund 15%,
Road Fund 6%, and Nonmajor funds 4%.

COUNTY OF BUTTE, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7. Long-Term Obligations (continued)
Landfill Closure and Post-closure Costs
State and federal laws and regulations require the County to place a final cover on its Neal Road landfill
site when it stops accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site
for thirty years after closure. Although closure and post-closure care costs will be paid only near or after
the date that the landfill stops accepting waste, the County reports a portion of these closure and post-
closure care costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each
balance sheet date. The $3,430,539 reported as landfill closure and post-closure care liability at
June 30, 2012, represents the cumulative amount reported to date based on the use of 20.25 percent of the
estimated capacity of the landfill. The County will recognize the remaining estimated cost of closure and
post-closure care of $13,508,134 as the remaining estimated capacity is filled. These amounts are based
on what it would cost to perform all closure and post-closure care in 2012. The County expects to close
the landfill in the fiscal year 2031.
The County is required by state and federal laws and regulations to make annual contributions to a
separate fund to finance closure and post-closure care. The County is in compliance with these
requirements, and at June 30, 2012, investments of $4,792,927 are held for these purposes. The County
expects the future inflation costs will be paid from interest earnings on these annual contributions.
However, if interest earnings are inadequate or additional post-closure care requirements are determined;
these costs may need to be covered by charges to future landfill users or from future tax revenue.
Annually, the Landfill adjusts the estimated closure and post-closure costs due to changes in inflation and
capacity. Total estimated costs for closure and post-closure increased from $16,607,092 at June 30, 2011
to $16,938,673 at June 30, 2012, and the remaining capacity of the landfill decreased from 80.71 percent
to 79.75 percent at June 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. These changes resulted in an increase to the
landfill closure and post-closure care liability and caused an increase in expense of $226,460 at
June 30, 2012.
The closure/post-closure liability will be liquidated in the Landfill Fund.
Limitations and Restrictions
There are a number of limitations and restrictions contained in the various debt indentures. The County's
management believes that the County is in compliance with all significant limitations and restrictions.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs
Bond issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the terms of the respective bonds using a method
that approximates the effective interest method.

Rebatable Arbitrage Earnings
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 instituted certain arbitrage restrictions with respect to the issuance of tax-
exempt bonds after August 31, 1986. Arbitrage regulations deal with the investment of all tax-exempt
bond proceeds at an interest yield greater than the interest yield paid to bondholders. Generally, all
interest paid to bondholders can be retroactively rendered taxable if applicable rebates are not reported
and paid to the Internal Revenue Service at least every five years. During the current year, the County
performed calculations of excess investment earnings on various bonds and financings and at
June 30, 2012 does not expect to incur a liability.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

8. Restricted Net Assets/Fund Balances (continued)
The Board of Supervisors adopted the Fund Balance Reserve Policy in January 2010. The policy was
created to mitigate operational impacts during difficult economic times, allow the County to respond
strategically and responsibly to the challenges of a changing fiscal environment, absorb unanticipated
costs, and provide flexibility to react to reductions in County revenues from other governmental agencies.
This policy sets forth the parameters and funding methods the County may utilize to establish and
maintain an adequate General Fund reserve.
General Fund Reserve requirements are classified as follows:
• Appropriation for Contingencies -during the annual public hearing on the Proposed Budget, the
Board will consider maintaining an amount equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the
proposed budget for the General Fund.
• General Fund Reserve should be maintained at an amount equivalent to two months operating
expenses for all County governmental funds.
Excess Fund Balance Available -when the Fund Balance Available is less than estimated the
Auditor-Controller will be directed to reduce the Appropriation for Contingencies. When the
Fund Balance Available is greater than estimated the direction will be to, in order of priority,
ensure the Appropriation for Contingencies is at the five percent (5%) level, increase the General
Fund Reserve to maintain the two months of operating expenses, designate for known and
quantified unfunded liabilities, such as Employee pension plan, other Post-Employment benefits
or accrued Employee leave.
• Unreserved Fund Balance should be maintained to provide adequate working capital and
accommodate required adjustments to other reserve accounts, including advances to other funds.
• Other Designations of the General Fund establishment of these policies do not preclude the
Board of Supervisors from setting aside additional funds for a specific project, program or capital
item.

The County contributes to the California Public Employees Retirement System (Ca1PERS), an agent
multiple-employer public employee retirement system that acts as a common investment and
administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Ca1PERS provides
retirement and disability benefits, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Benefit
provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute and County ordinance. Copies of
Ca1PERS' annual financial report may be obtained from their executive office: 400 Q Street, Sacramento,
CA 95811.
Fundin..~X
Employees under the Miscellaneous Plan are required to contribute 7% and employees under the Safety
Plan are required to contribute 9% of their annual covered salary. The County is required to contribute at
an actuarially determined rate of annual covered payroll; the current rate is 10.268% for non-safety
employees and 15.726% for safety employees. The contribution requirements of plan members and the
County are established and may be amended by Ca1PERS.
The schedule of funding progress for the postemployment defined benefit plan immediately following the
notes to the financial statements presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value
of plan assets is increasing or decreasing relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits over time.

9. County Employees Retirement Plan (Defined Benefit Pension Plan) (continued)
Annual Pension Cost
For the year ended June 30, 2012, the County's annual pension cost was $13,991,146. The required
contribution was determined as part of the June 30, 2009 actuarial valuation using the entry age actuarial
cost method. This is a projected benefit cost method, which takes into account those benefits that are
expected to be earned in the future as well as those already accrued. The actuarial assumptions included
(a) 7.75%investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses), (b) projected annual merit or
seniority salary increases that vary by length of service, and (c) no post retirement benefit increases. Both
(a) and (b) included an inflation component of 3.0%. The actuarial value of the County's CalPERS assets
was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of
investments over a thirty-year period (smoothed market value). The County's Ca1PERS unfunded
actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level of percentage of projected payroll on a closed
basis. The remaining amortization period at June 30, 2009 was 30 years for the Miscellaneous Plan and
30 years for the Safety Plan.

10. Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB)
A. Plan Description
The County sponsors healthcare coverage under the California Public Employees Medical and Hospital
Care Act ("PEMHCA"), commonly referred to as PERS Health. PEMHCA provides health insurance
through a variety of Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
options. Participation in PEMHCA is financed in part by the County through a contribution to PEMHCA
of $108.00 per employee per month for 2011. The $108.00 per month increased by law to $112.00 on
January 1, 2012, and will be indexed with medical inflation (CPI) for years 2013 and thereafter. Delta
Dental (Premier and DPO), vision and life insurance are also available.
Post-Retirement Coverage
The County also offers medical, dental and vision coverage (but not life insurance) to its retirees. The
County makes the required statutory PEMHCA contribution as described above, subject to the "Unequal
Contribution Method" under which the County's contribution for retirees increases each year to 5% of its
contribution for active employees multiplied by years the County has participated in PEMHCA until the
two amounts are equal, except that Elected, Appointed, and Assistant Department Heads are covered
under the Equal Contribution Method. Furthermore, the County will make additional contributions
towards certain eligible retirees' premiums until age 65 according to the County's agreements with its
various employee groups, as described below.
Retirees who have completed at least 10 continuous years of service with the County, have accrued sick
leave in excess of 240 hours, and elect retiree health insurance rather than the sick leave payout option,
are eligible to receive reimbursements from the County for the cost of medical, dental and vision
insurance (offset by the County's statutory contribution to PEMHCA.)
For BCEA, BCMEA, CWA, BCPPOA, BCCOA (General and Management), Supervisor's Administrative
Services Assistants, and Miscellaneous and Assistant Probation Officer positions within the "Assistant
Department Heads and Non-Represented" group, the retiree may make an irrevocable election at the time
of retirement to receive one of the following benefit options in addition to 12 months of County-paid
health insurance:
(1) One month of retiree-only premiums for each day of accrued sick leave at retirement;
(2) One month of 2-party premiums (employee and spouse) for each 2 1/2 days in excess of
30 days accrued sick leave to cover both employee and spouse until age 65; or
(3) One month of retiree-only premiums for each day of accrued sick leave until the sick
leave credit is exhausted or the retiree reaches age 65, and one month of premiums for
spousal coverage for each day of accrued sick leave in excess of thirty days until the sick
leave credit is exhausted or the spouse reaches age 65.
For DSA General, DSA Management, Under Sheriffs, and BCPEA, the retiree will receive 12 months of
County-paid retiree-only health coverage. In addition, each one day of accrued sick leave is converted to
one month of retiree-only health insurance premiums and credited to an account for the retiree. Premiums
or the retiree and dependents, if applicable, are deducted from the account until it is depleted, or until the
retiree reaches age 65, if earlier.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
10. Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) (continued)
Elected and appointed department heads or officials retiring in good standing before age 65 under the
provisions of the County's contract with PERS may continue to cover themselves and eligible dependents
under the health plans. The County pays the full premium until age 65.
In all cases, once the additional County contributions (as described above) end, the County pays the
applicable PEMHCA statutory contribution for the remainder of the retiree's lifetime.
For 2011, the monthly County contributions are $97.20 and $108.00 for Unequal and Equal Contribution
Methods, respectively. For 2012, those amounts increased to $106.40 and $112.00, respectively.
Changes in Eligibility for Sick-Leave Buy-out
Employees other than non-represented groups hired after June 30, 2010 will not be eligible for sick-leave
buyout nor will they receive one year of County-paid health benefits after retirement. Retirees other than
non-represented groups who retired on or after January 1, 2010 will be subject to a limit on County
reimbursements equal to the sum of the Blue Shield HMO premium, Delta DPO and vision premiums.
Healthcare Premiums
The following table shows January 1, 2012 monthly PERS Health (PEMHCA) premiums for retirees

B. Funding Policy
As required by GASB 45, an actuary will determine the County's Annual Required Contributions (ARC)
at least once every two fiscal years. The ARC is calculated in accordance with certain parameters, and
includes (1) the Normal Cost for one year, and (2) a component for amortization of the total unfunded
actuarial accrued liability (UAL) over a period not to exceed 30 years.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
10. Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) (continued)
GASB 45 does not require pre-funding of OPEB benefits. Therefore, the County's funding policy is to
continue to pay healthcare premiums for retirees as they fall due. The County has elected not to establish
an irrevocable trust at this time.
The Board of Supervisors reserves the authority to review and amend this funding policy from time to
time, in order to ensure that the funding policy continues to best suit the circumstances of the County.

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts 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 Annual Required Contributions of the County 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 information
following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend information that shows 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 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 methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce
short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the
long-term perspective of the calculations.
The plan's most recent actuarial valuation was performed as of July 1, 201 L In that valuation, the
Projected Unit Credit (PUC) Cost Method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 5 percent
investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses) and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 8
percent initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 5 percent after 3 years. These assumptions
reflect an implicit 3 percent general inflation assumption. The County's unfunded actuarial accrued
liability is being amortized as a level dollar amount on an open basis over 30 years. The remaining
amortization period as of June 30, 2012 was 30 years. The County's plan is considered asingle-employer
plan under GASB 45.

11. Risk Management
The County is exposed to various risk of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters.
The County has three risk management funds (Internal Service Funds) to consolidate the County's
insurance programs that are partially self-insured. Fund revenues are primarily premium charges to other
funds and are planned to equal estimated expenses resulting from self-insurance programs, liability
insurance coverage in excess of the self-insured amount, and operating expenses. The primary activities
of the funds consist of risk management programs related to the following:
General Liability Insurance
Unemployment Insurance
Worker's Compensation Insurance
For general liability and workers' compensation claims, the County is a participant in the California State
Association of Counties (CSAC) -Excess Insurance Authority excess liability insurance program. The
County maintains aself-insured retention (SIR) of $100,000 per occurrence for its general liability
program and $125,000 for its workers' compensation program. The purpose of the pool is to spread the
adverse effects of losses among the member agencies. The County pays an annual basic premium for
excess coverage and is assessed an annual risk premium based on an actuarial review that estimates each
of the program's participant's ultimate liabilities. Should actual losses among participants be greater than
anticipated, the County will be assessed its pro rata share of that deficiency. Conversely, if the actual
losses are less than anticipated, the County will be refunded its pro rata share of the excess. Commercial
insurance covers claims between $100,000 and $20,000,000 for general liability. Settled claims have not
exceeded this commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
The County is fully self-insured for its unemployment insurance program. Quarterly billings from the
State Employment Development Department are sent to the County's claims reviewers, R.E. Harrington,
Inc. After the claims are reviewed by R.E. Harrington, Inc., they are turned over to the County for
payment.
It is the County's policy to accrue to the Internal Service Fund the estimated liability, as determined with
the assistance of independent actuaries, for claims in cases where such amounts are reasonably
determinable and where the likelihood of liability exists.
All operating funds participate in the program and make payments to the insurance funds based on
actuarial estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims, and to allow accrual of
estimated incurred but not reported claims. These claims liability estimates are based on the requirements
of GASB Statements No. 10 and 30 and include estimate claims incurred but not yet reported as of
June 30, 2012. The claims liability includes all allocated loss adjustment expenses. Changes in the
insurance funds' claims liability amount during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2012 were as
follows:

The Butte County Air Quality Management District (the District) was established in 1967 by the State
Legislature through the "Mulford-Carrell Air Resources Act" which provided local air districts with the
primary responsibility for the control of non-vehicular sources of air pollution. The District's Board is
composed of ten members, of which five members are the County's Board of Supervisors. Effective
August 2003, the District became a separate legal entity and is no longer considered a part of the County.
The District has financial statements prepared and they can be obtained from management at the District.

15. Subsequent Events
California State Budd
The State is the source for a significant amount of Butte County's revenues and much of these funds are
at risk for deferral or cuts in order to balance the State budget.
The County has taken these deferrals and cuts into account with its 2013 budget, but the risk exists that
further decreases in revenue may be realized when the State finally comes to agreement on its spending
plan. Many of these decreases in funding will be associated with State-mandated programs. The County
remains committed to prudent fiscal management while providing quality services to its citizens.

Behavioral Health Fund had a deficit fund balance of $1,726,040 at June 30, 2012. The deficit fund
balance for the Behavioral Health Fund primarily resulted from reimbursement delays from Federal
Financial Participation and the State of California changing their cost report method. The County feels
these issues have been resolved and will eliminate the deficit fund balance.

Note to Required Supplementary Information
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011
BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
In accordance with the provisions of Sections 29000 and 29143, inclusive, of the California Government Code
and other statutory provisions, commonly known as the County Budget Act, the County prepares a budget for
each fiscal year on or before August 30. Budgeted expenditures are enacted into law through the passage of an
Appropriation Ordinance. This ordinance mandates the maximum authorized expenditures for the fiscal year and
cannot be exceeded except by subsequent amendments to the budget by the County's Board of Supervisors.
An operating budget is adopted each fiscal year for all Governmental Funds except for the JPFA. Expenditures
are controlled at the object level within budget units for the County. The object level within a budget unit is the
level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations. Any amendments or transfers of
appropriations between object levels within the same budget unit or between departments or funds are authorized
by the County Administrative Officer's office and must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of
Supervisors must approve supplementary appropriations normally financed by unanticipated revenues during the
year. Pursuant to Board Resolution, the County Administrative Officer is authorized to approve transfers and
revision of appropriations under $50,000 within a single budget unit as deemed necessary and appropriate.
Budgeted amounts in the budgetary financial schedules are reported as originally adopted and as amended during
the fiscal year by resolutions approved by the Board of Supervisors.
The County uses an encumbrances system as an extension of normal budgetary accounting for the general, special
revenue, and other debt service funds and to assist in controlling expenditures of the capital projects funds. Under
this system, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in
order to reserve that portion of applicable appropriations. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are recorded as
reservations of fund balance since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Unencumbered
appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. Encumbered appropriations are carried forward in the ensuing fiscal
year's budget.
The budget approved by the Board of Supervisors for the general fund includes budgeted expenditures and
reimbursements for amounts disbursed on behalf of other Governmental Funds. Actual reimbursements for these
items have been eliminated in the accompanying budgetary financial schedules. Accordingly, the related budgets
for these items have also been eliminated in order to provide a meaningful comparison of actual and budgeted
results of operations.
The budgets for the governmental funds may include an object level known as "intrafund transfers" in the charges
for appropriations. This object level is an accounting mechanism used by the County to show reimbursements
between operations within the same fund (an example would be the General Fund).

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS (Continued)
The Child Support Services Fund was established by AB 196, AB 150, and SB 542 during fiscal

Note: California voters, on June 6, 1978, approved a constitutional amendment to Article XIIIA of the California
Constitution, commonly known as Proposition 13, which limits the taxing power of the California public agencies.
Legislation enacted by the California Legislature to implement Article XIIIA (Statutes of 1978 Chapter 292, as
amended) provides that not withstanding any other law, local agencies may not levy property tax except to pay
debt service on indebtedness approved by voters prior to July 1, 1978, and that each County will levy the
maximum tax permitted by Article XIIIA of $1 per $100 of full cash value. Assessed value is equal to full cash
value, pursuant to Senate Bill 1656, Statutes of 1978. The rates shown above are percentages of assessed valuation.

RECEIVABLE/PAYABLE.
ADVANCE TO OTHER FUNDS. An asset account used to record noncurrent portions of a long-term loan from one

COMPENSATED ABSENCES. Absences, such as vacation, illness and holidays, for which it is expected employees
will be paid. The term does not encompass severance or termination pay, postretirement benefits, deferred
compensation or other long-term fringe benefits, such as group insurance and long-term disability pay.
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR). A financial report that encompasses all funds and
component units of the government. The CAFR should contain (a) the basic financial statements and required
supplementary information, (b) combining statements to support columns in the basic financial statements that
aggregate information from more than one fund or component unit, and (c) individual fund statements as needed. The
CAFR is the governmental unit's official annual report and also should contain introductory information, schedules

Glossary for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
CURRENT FINANCIAL RESOURCES MEASUREMENT FOCUS. Measurement focus according to which the
aim of a set of financial statements is to report the near-term (current) inflows, outflows, and balances of expendable
(spendable) financial resources. The current fmancial resources measurement focus is unique to accounting and
financial reporting for state and local governments and is used solely for reporting the financial position and results of
operations of governmental funds.
DEBT. An obligation resulting from the borrowing of money or from the purchase of goods and services. Debts of
governments include bonds, time warrants and notes.
DEBT SERVICE FUND. A fund established to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of,
general long-term debt principal and interest.
DEFERRED CHARGES. Expenditures that are not chargeable to the fiscal period in which they were made but that
are carried as an asset on the balance sheet, pending amortization or other disposition (e.g. bond issuance costs).
Deferred charges differ from prepaid items in that they usually extend over a long period of time (more than five years)
and are not regularly recurring costs of operation.
DEFERRED REVENUE. Resource inflows that do not yet meet the criteria for revenue recognition. Unearned
amounts are always reported as deferred revenue. In governmental funds, earned amounts also are reported as deferred
revenue until they are available to liquidate liabilities of the current period.
DEFICIT. (1) The excess of the liabilities of a fund over its assets. (2) The excess of expenditures over revenues
during an accounting period or, in the case of proprietary funds, the excess of expenses over revenues during an
accounting period.
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN. A pension plan having terms that specify the amount of pension benefits to
be provided at a future date or after a certain period of time; the amount specified usually is a function of one or more
factors such as age, years of service, and compensation.
DEPRECIATION. (1) Expiration in the service life of capital assets, other than wasting assets, attributable to wear
and tear, deterioration, action of the physical elements, inadequacy and obsolescence. (2) The portion of the cost of a
capital asset, other than a wasting asset, charged as an expense during a particular period. In accounting for
depreciation, the cost of a capital asset, less any salvage value, is prorated over the estimated service life of such an
asset, and each period is charged with a portion of such cost. Through this process, the entire cost of the asset is
ultimately charged off as an expense.
DUE FROM OTHER FUNDS. An asset account used to indicate amounts owed to a particular fund by another fund
for goods sold or services rendered. This account includes only short-term obligations on open account, not interfund
loans.
DUE TO OTHER FUNDS. A liability account reflecting amounts owed by a particular fund to another fund for goods
sold or services rendered. These amounts include only short-term obligations on open account, not interfund loans.
ECONOMIC RESOURCES MEASUREMENT FOCUS.
Measurement focus under which the aim of a set of fmancial statements is to report all inflows, outflows, and balances
affecting or reflecting an entity's net assets. The economic resources measurement focus is used for proprietary and
fiduciary funds, as well as for government-wide financial reporting. It is also used by business enterprises in the private
sector.
ENCUMBRANCES. Commitments related to unperformed (executory) contracts for goods or services. Used in
budgeting, encumbrances are not GAAP expenditures or liabilities, but represent the estimated amount of expenditures
ultimately to result if unperformed contracts in process are completed.
ENTERPRISE FUND. Proprietary fund type used to report an activity for which a fee is charged to external users for
goods and services.
EXPENDITURE-DRIVEN GRANTS. Government-mandated or voluntary nonexchange transactions in which
expenditure is the prime factor for determining eligibility. Also referred to as reimbursement grants.
169
COUNTY OF BUTTE

government and another party, but the values exchanged may not be quite equal or the direct benefits of the exchange
may not be exclusively for the parties to the exchange.

statements.
EXTERNAL INVESTMENT POOL. An arrangement that commingles (pools) the moneys of more than one legally
separate entity and invests, on the participants' behalf, in an investment portfolio; one or more of the participants is not
part of the sponsors reporting entity. An external investment pool can be sponsored by an individual government,
jointly by more than one government, or by a nongovernmental entity. An investment pool that is sponsored by an
individual state or local government is an external investment pool if it includes participation by a legally separate
entity that is not part of the same reporting entity as the sponsoring government If agovernment-sponsored pool
includes only the primary government and its component units, it is an internal investment pool and not an external
investment pool.
FAIR VALUE. The amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION. A corporation created by the federal government that
insures deposits in banks and savings associations.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS. The trust and agency funds used to account for assets held by a government unit in a trustee
capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other government units and/or other funds.

principal and interest when due.
FOREIGN EXCFIANGE RISK The risk that changes in exchange rate will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment or a deposit.

all related liabilities and residual equities, or balances, and changes therein, are recorded and segregated to carry on
specific activities or attain certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations.

governmental financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis
of accounting.
INFRASTRUCTURE. Long-lived capital assets that normally are stationary in nature and normally can be preserved
for a significantly greater number of years than most capital assets. Examples of infrastructure assets include roads,
bridges, tunnels, drainage systems, water and sewer systems, dams and lighting systems.

government, including notes taken as security for such loans. Loans to other funds and governments should be recorded
and reported separately.
MAJOR FUND. A governmental fund or enterprise fund reported as a separate column in the basic fund financial
statements. The general fund is always a major fund. Otherwise, major funds are funds whose revenues/expenditures,
assets or liabilities are at least 10 percent of corresponding totals for all government or enterprise funds and at least 5
percent of the aggregate amount for all governmental and enterprise funds for the same item. Any other government or
enterprise fund may be reported as a major fund if the government's officials believe that fund is particularly important
to financial statement users.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. A component of required supplementary information used to
introduce the basic financial statements and to provide an analytical overview of the government's financial activities.
MEASUREMENT FOCUS. A way of presenting an entity's financial performance and position by considering which
resources are measured (financial or economic) and when the effects of transactions or events involving those resources

fund financial statements and fiduciary fund financial statements is economic resources. The measurement focus of
governmental fund financial statements is current financial resources.
MODIFIED ACCRUAL BASIS. The accrual basis of accounting adapted to the governmental fund-type
measurement focus. Under it, revenues and other financial resource increments (e.g. bond issue proceeds) are
recognized when they become susceptible to accrual, that is when they become both "measurable" and "available to
finance expenditures of the current period." "Available" means collectible in the current period or soon enough
thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Generally, expenditures are recognized when the fund
liability is incurred. All governmental funds, expendable trust funds and agency funds are accounted for using the
modified accrual basis of accounting.
NONSPENDABLE FUND BALANCE, Amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not spendable in
form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
OTHER FINANCING SOURCES. An increase in current financial resources that is reported separately from
revenues to avoid distorting revenue trends. The use of the other financing sources category is limited to items so
classified by GAAP.
OPERATING LEASE. A lease dose not transfer ownership rights, risks and rewards from the lessor to the lessee, the
lease is called an operation lease and is similar to a rental.
OTHER FINANCING USES. A decrease in current financial resources that is reported separately from expenditures
to avoid distorting expenditure trends. The use of other financing uses category is limited to items so classified by
GAAP.
OVERLAPPING DEBT. The proportionate share property within each government must bear of the debts of all local
governments located wholly or in part within the geographic boundaries of the reporting government. Except for
special assessment debt, the amount of debt of each unit applicable to the reporting unit is arrived at by (1) determining
what percentage of the total assessed value of the overlapping jurisdiction lies within the limits of the reporting unit,
172
COUNTY OF BUTTE
Glossary for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
and (2) applying this percentage to the total debt of the overlapping jurisdiction. Special assessment debt is allocated on
the basis of the ratio of assessment receivable in each jurisdiction, which will be used wholly or in part to pay off the
debt, to total assessments receivable, which will be used wholly or in part for this purpose.
PROGRAM REVENUES. Term used in connection with the government-wide statement of activities. Revenues that
derive directly from the program itself or from parties outside the reporting government's taxpayers or citizenry, as a
whole; they reduce the net cost of the function to be financed from the government's general revenues.

recovery), financial position, and cash flows. There are two different types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and
internal service funds.
REBATABLE ARBITRAGE. A term used in connection with the reinvestment of the proceeds oftax-exempt debt. A
requirement to remit to the federal government interest revenue in excess of interest costs when the proceeds from the
sale oftax-exempt securities are reinvested in a taxable money market instrument with a materially higher yield.
REPORTING ENTITY. The oversight unit and all of its component units, if any, that are combined in the
CAFR/BFS.
REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. Consists of statements, schedules, statistical data or other

fmancial statements.
RESERVED FUND BALANCE. The portion of a governmental fund's net assets that is not available for
appropriation.
RESTRICTED ASSETS. Assets whose use is subject to constraints that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors

law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
RESTRICTED NET ASSETS. A component of net assets calculated by reducing the carrying value of restricted
assets by the amount of any related debt outstanding.
RETAINED EARNINGS. An equity account reflecting the accumulated earnings of an enterprise or internal service
fund.
REVENUE BONDS. Bonds whose principal and interest are payable exclusively from earnings of an enterprise fund.
In addition to a pledge of revenues, such bonds sometimes contain a mortgage on the enterprise fund's property.
RISK MANAGEMENT. All the ways and means used to avoid accidental loss or to reduce its consequences if it does
occur.
SELF-INSURANCE. A term often used to describe the retention by an entity of a risk of loss arising out of the
ownership of property or from some other cause, instead of transferring that risk to an independent third party through
the purchase of an insurance policy. It is sometimes accompanied by the setting aside of assets to fund any related
losses. Because no insurance is involved, the term self insurance is a misnomer.
SINGLE AUDIT. An audit performed in accordance with the Single Audit Act of 1997 and Office of Management
and Budget's (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of State and Local Governments and Non- Profit Organizations. The
Single Audit Act allows or requires governments (depending on the amount of federal assistance received) to have one
audit performed to meet the needs of all federal agencies.
SPECIAL DISTRICT. An independent unit of local government organized to perform a single government function
or a restricted number of related functions. Special districts usually have the power to incur debt and levy taxes;
however, certain types of special districts are entirely dependent upon enterprise earnings and cannot impose taxes.
Examples of special districts are water districts, drainage districts, flood control districts, hospital districts, fue
protection districts, transit authorities, port authorities and electric power authorities.
173
COUNTY OF BUTTE
Glossary for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes.
UNDESIGNATED UNRESERVED FUND BALANCE. That portion of a fund balance that is available for spending
or appropriation and has not been "earmarked" for specified purposes by the chief executive officer or the legislative

(such as the last day of the month or a calendar quarter) and that, upon each adjustment until the final maturity of the
instrument or the period remaining until the principal amount can be recovered through demand, can reasonably be
expected to have a fair value that will be unaffected by interest rate changes.
174
