Re: Proposal t o Join Jo in t Powers Agreemant

Dear Dr. Stout:

Reference i s made t o your l e t t e r t o t h i s off ice dated January 26, 1982, in which you inquire as t o the des i rab i l i ty of the comnunity college d i s t r i c t entering in to a jo in t powers agreement with cer ta in special d i s t r i c t s t o share use of d i s t r i c t owned equipment.

Under Governli~ent Code Section 6502 governing bodies of two o r more public agencies may by written document agree t o jo in t ly exercise any power conunon t o both. Public agencies include school d i s t r i c t s and public d i s t r i c t s . Under the code section above c i ted , the college d i s t r i c t could enter i n to a jo in t powers agreement t o share the use of i t s equipment with other public e n t i t i e s .

On the other hand, entering into such an agreement will expose the d i s t r i c t t o cer ta in r i sks . F i r s t , the d i s t r i c t may be l i ab l e i n the event other users of i t s equipment or th i rd par t i es are injured by i t under the j o in t powers agreement, Secondly, a problem will a r i s e i f d i s t r i c t owned equip- ment i s l o s t , damaged, o r stolen while in the possession of others. Third, the d i s t r i c t may find i t s e l f without cer ta in equipment a t a time when i t needs i t . Four th , there will have t o be a careful inventorying and ade- quate control placed on the use of any equipment turned over t o others. Finally, there may be other problems which do not come t o mind a t the present time.

These are our thoughts on the des i rab i l i ty of the d i s t r i c t entering i n to a j o in t powers agreement with other public e n t i t i e s t o share the use of dis- t r i c t owned equipment.

Very t ru ly yours,

JAMES H . ANGELL

Dear O l e :

I app rec i a t ed r ece iv ing your r e c e n t letter following- up on your v i s i t t o Sacramento, and knowing some of t h e p r e s s i n g problems of t h e Coachella Val ley Community Col lege D i s t r i c t .

Unfor tuna te ly , un l e s s t h e L e g i s l a t u r e is a b l e t o enac t mul t i -year community c o l l e g e f i nance l e g i s l a t i o n based on r e l i a b l e revenue e s t i m a t e s , t h e community c o l l e g e d i s t r i c t s w i l l be unable t o p lan t h e i r budgets w i th c e r t a i n t y u n t i l t h e s t a t e has enacted i ts1 own budget.

For example, t h e c u r r e n t community c o l l e g e f i nance law (AB 1626-Hughes, Chapter 1 0 3 ) , enac ted less t h a n a year ago, p rov ides money f o r a 5% COLA and 2 .5% growth f o r f i s c a l year 1981-82, and a 5% COLA and no growth f o r 1982-83. Due t o t h e s t a t e ' s f i s c a l problems, t h e r e i s very l i t t l e c o n s i d e r a t i o n of adding money f o r i nc reased community c o l l e g e enro l lments f o r 1982-83. In f a c t , t h e r e i s t h e p o s s i b i l i t y t h a t t h e f u l l 5% COLA f o r 1982-83 w i l l n o t be funded, and even appor t ion- ments f o r 1981-82 may y e t be wi thheld t o balance t h e c u r r e n t year ' s budget.

Regarding t h e maintenance and r e p a i r needs of t h e Coachella Val ley Community Col lege D i s t r i c t , I am hopeful t h e L e g i s l a t u r e w i l l be a b l e t o fund t h e law enacted l a s t year ( S B 841, Chapter 764, A l q u i s t ) f o r s t a t e matching funds f o r community c o l l e g e d e f e r r e d maintenance and r e p a i r s .

Board of Trustees Coachella Valley Community College District Palm Desert, California

We have examined the Combined Balance Sheet of Coachella Valley Community College District, and the Balance Sheet of Associated Student Body as of June 30, 1981 and the related Statements of Fund Transactions and State- ments of Operations for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards prescribed by the State Department of Finance, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly the financial position of Coachella Valley Community College District and Associated Student Body at June 30, 1981 and the results of its opera- tions and changes in its financial position for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The supplementary data included in Schedules B-1, B-2 and Notes to Financial Statements have been subjected to the same auditing procedures and, in our opinion, are stated fairly in all mate- rial respects when considered in conjunction with the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

In connection with our examination, we also made a study and evaluation of the Coachella Valley Community College District system of internal accounting control, and performed tests of compliance as required by Chapter I1 of the Standards and Procedures for Audits of California Local Educational Agencies issued by the Department of Finance, State of California, the Requirements for Compliance Audits of Federally Assisted Programs on Local Educational Agencies issued by the Depart- ment of Education, State of California, and Paragraph 5 of OMB Circular A-102, Attachment P, issued by the Office of Management and Budget. Our findings are set forth under the heading Comments and Recommendations in the report.

COACHELLA VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT

COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS JUNE 3 0 , 1981

INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROL As part of our examination, we made a study of the District's system of internal accounting control to the extent we considered necessary to evaluate the system as required by general accepted auditing standards. Under these standards, the purpose of such evaluation is to establish a basis for reliance on the system of internal accounting control in deter- mining the nature, timing, and extent of other auditing procedures that are necessary for expressing an opinion on the financial statements and to assist in planning and performing the examination of the financial statements.

The objective of internal accounting control is to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurances as to (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorzed use or disposition, and (2) the reliability of fi- nancial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining account- ability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a system of internal accounting control should not exceed the benefits derived and also recognizes that the evaluation of these factors necessarily requires estimates and judgements by management.

There are inherent limitations that should be recognized in considering the potential effectiveness of any system of internal accounting control. In the performance of most control procedures, errors can result from misunderstood instructions, mistaken judgment, carelessness, or other personal factors. Control procedures whose effectiveness depends upon segregation of duties can be circumvented by collusion. Similarly, con- trol procedures can be circumvented intentionally by management either to the execution and recording of transactions or with respect to the estimates and judgments required in preparing financial statements. Further, projection of any evaluation of internal accounting control to future periods is subject to the risk that the procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate.

Our examination of the financial statements was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. This included studying and eval- uating the District's system of internal accounting control for the year ended June 3 0 , 1981.

This study and evaluation was designed for the purposes set forth in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily disclose all weaknesses in the system. However, the study and evaluation dis- closed only items of a minor nature which were discussed with appro- priate personnel.
