Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
We are pleased to present the City of Alameda (City) Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ending June 30, 2021. The information in this Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Acco unting Principles (GAAP) and includes an unmodified opinion on the report by the City's independent certified public accountants. Although we rely on the standards and expertise of these external auditors, the responsibility for the accuracy and fairness of this report rests with the City.
For those readers interested in a more detailed review of the City’s financial statements, a narrative section called the Management’s Discussion and Anal ysis (MD&A) has been included as part of the Financial Section. The MD&A reports on the financial highlights of the City and provides additional analysis on the variances and trends reported as part of the financial statements. The MD&A also discloses significant items affecting the financial condition of the City and is designed to be read in conjunction with this letter of transmittal.

Economic Condition and Outlook
The City of Alameda is a community situated in the San Francisco Bay with residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. There are scenic views of Oakland, San Francisco, and other areas of the Bay shoreline and surrounding hills. The City has physical links to the City of Oakland to the north and east, and offers ferry services to San Francisco from three ferry terminal locations.
Between 2020 and 2021, the population of Alameda decreased by 0.3 percent from 81,312 residents to 80,884 residents, according to the California Department of Finance. It is anticipated that Alameda’s population will increase as new housing units are constructed and occupied at the former Naval Station and elsewhere in the City.
Overall, the outlook for the City is generally stable. Investors continue to demonstrate their faith in the strength of the community by continuing to make capital improvements and through continued development at Alameda Point and in other commercial and residential development elsewhere in the community.
The City began responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in February 2020. Now almost two years later, the pandemic continues to bring significant challenges to the City. Since the onset of the pandemic, more than 3,800 Alamedans tested positive for COVID-19 and to date, more than 100 residents tragically lost their lives to this deadly disease. We have seen increases in: homelessness, people with mental health needs, and violent crime, including domestic violenc e. Businesses small and large have been forced to close their doors, and many residents lost their jobs or had to reduce their paid work hours (and pay) to take care of loved ones. Residents and businesses have been unable to pay their rent, mortgage, and utility bills.
The City continues to play a lead role in responding to the health and safety of our residents and businesses and supporting the most vulnerable members of our community, including:
Supporting our most vulnerable unhoused populations by working with the County and referral agencies to shelter older adults and medically-vulnerable persons experiencing homelessness in the City through the use of Project Roomkey motels and FEMA trailers. Providing and maintaining 20 hand sanitizer stations and 11 portable toilets throughout the community.
Providing masks to the unhoused. These masks were donated by our Sister Cities Jiangyin and Yeongdong-gun.
Opening day center and dedicated safe parking area to ensure the health and safety of those most in need during the pandemic.
Providing direct financial support to our sm all businesses, deferred payments for business licenses and City taxes, and rent relief to City tenants. Communicating regularly to local businesses about available resources from the City and from other agencies and providers.
Providing timely informational webinars with subject matter experts for businesses and employees, including two mental health webinars series. Providing rent relief to Alameda’s low-income tenants. Providing emergency funds for individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless due to loss of income from COVID-19.
Establishing eviction protections for commercial and residential properties. Creating the Alameda Strong community fund to provide additional financial support to small businesses, nonprofits, and renters.
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
viii
Creating the Feed Alameda campaign that funds hard-hit restaurants to provide hot and healthy meals for our most vulnerable residents.
Creating a website dedicated to providing daily updates on COVID-19 and facilitating regular town halls with community members.
Reconfiguring Park Street and Webster Street commercial corridors (“Commercial Street”) and residential streets (“Slow Streets”) to allow more space for physical distancing, shopping, dining, and physical activity.
Securing COVID-19 testing on the island and providing updates on testing resources for residents.
Working with the business associations, retailers and restaurants to promote public health restrictions and safe dining to protect frontline employees and the general public. Establishing an Economic Recovery Task Force to create a short-term to mid-term plan for mitigating the economic hardships affecting the City's most vulnerable businesses, workers, and residents.
Implementation of a cap on third-party delivery fees. Implementation of the Spend Local Campaign, including social media and web marketing, encouraging shoppers to spend locally during the holiday season and afterward. As part of the campaign, the City distributed more than 4,300 gift bags for businesses to give away to shoppers. Organizing monthly Personal Care Services Coalition to address concerns that are unique to the Personal Services industry.
Organizing and promoting Alameda Restaurant Week.
Developing and operating “What’s Open Alameda,” an online platform that allows shoppers to search for businesses that are currently open in the City.
Although the unemployment for Alameda County dropped to 5.0 percent in October 2021, which is considered full employment, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be evaluated, particularly the credit implications for the City and its ability to access the capital markets.
The City received the first of two allocations of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds in June 2021 in the amount of $14.34 million. The second allocation of $14.34 million is expected in 2022. ARPA funds may be used to respond to the public health and economic impacts of the pandemic, to provide premium pay to workers performing essential work, for general revenue loss, and for investments in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure.
Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Alameda ended the fiscal year (FY) 2020-21 with growth in major tax revenue categories. In the second quarter of 2021, the median sale price of a single-family residence was $1,450,000 or an increase of 15.7 percent from the same quarter in the prior year.
Continued growth in property sale prices resulted in a 9 percent increase in property tax receipts in FY 2020-21 compared to the prior year. Although sales tax receipts from brick-and-mortar businesses have decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, recent changes in collection of sales and use tax from online transactions and full implementation of the City’s new transaction and use tax approved by voters in 2018 (Measure F), resulted in a year-over-year increase in sales and use tax receipts of 10 percent. Overall, the General Fund ended the year with a 7.5 percent increase in revenues over the prior year.

Members of the City Council

Internal Controls
The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse, and that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financ ial statements in conformity with GAAP. Internal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. All internal control evaluations occu r within the stated framework. City management believes the City’s internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
Budgetary Controls
As part of the City’s internal controls, it maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Every two years, departments work with the City Manager and Finance Department to submit operating budget requests for the next two fiscal years. The City Manager then makes recommendations to the City Council regarding the budget. After public discussion and evaluation of the recommendations, the City Council adopt the budget for the next two fiscal years.
Expenditures are controlled at the fund level for all budgeted departments within the City. At this level, expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations. The City Manager or their designee is authorized to transfer funds between departments within the same fund, and to limit expenditures in response to lower than expected revenues whenever necessary. The budgets are adopted on a basis substantially consistent with GAAP. Any amendments to the total level of appropriations for a fund or transfers between funds must be approved by the City Council.
City Council Goals and Objectives
As part of the budget preparation process, the City Council articulates goals and objectives for two years and evaluates the progress made on the goals established as part of the previous budget. The following represent some of the most significant goals established for FYs 2019-20 and 2020-21 as part of biennial budget process:
1. Preparing Alameda for the future
Take action on climate change and ensure our infrastructure needs are met, including adopting plans and policies that protect the community against sea-level rise and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and vehicle miles travelled, discussing infrastructure and storm water funding needs and possible sources, increasing the use of low-emissions vehicles within the City’s fleet, and increasing electric vehicle (EV) chargers around town.
2. Encouraging economic development across the Island
Improve the local economy and attract jobs, including promoting policies and marketing efforts that help retain existing businesses and attract new businesses that provide stable economic opportunities for the City’s local workforce.
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council

3. Supporting enhanced livability and quality of life
Address housing and homelessness, includi ng implementing policies and programs that help to stabilize rents and increase the supply of housing for all income levels, updating the Land Use Element and Housing Element of the General Plan, and reviewing housing and homeless services and ensure they are adapting to meet the changing needs of the community.
Mitigate traffic congestion and improve transportation safety, including producing a west- end crossing study, opening the Seaplane Lagoon ferry terminal, adopting a rideshare policy, completing the Central Avenue bike lane improvements, and increasing transit ridership.
4. Protecting core services
Maintain safety and quality of life, including adopting policies and programs that maintain a high-level of public safety and that maintain Alameda’s high quality City parks, libraries, streetscape, community services, and amenities.
5. Ensuring effective and efficient operations
Plan for fiscal and organizational stability, including exploring options for reducing the City’s costs and liabilities, increasing City revenue and funding, and investing in technology and other measures that improve the City’s efficiency and productivity.
Major Initiatives and Projects
Alameda Point Development - In June 2015, the City Council approved a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) related to development of a 68-acre mixed-use project at Alameda Point known as “Site A”. Site A is the first major public/private development since the former Naval Air Station closure in 1997.
The proposed Site A development provides for:
A high-quality mixed-use transit-oriented waterfr ont development that includes approximately 1,472 on-site permanent jobs and 2,570 construction jobs over the life of the project, retail amenities, a diversity of housing types for a wide range of income levels, and new waterfront parks;
Future job creation at Alameda Point through the construction of amenities, gateway improvements into Alameda Point, and new utility infrastructure, all of which will help to support long-term employment-generation;
Mitigation of traffic impacts by funding transit service to BART, free bus passes for all residents and employees, car- and bike-share stations, and a number of other alternative transportation programs;
A contribution of $18 million towards significant transportation infrastructure; and A commitment of $36 million to 15 acres of pub licly accessible parks and open spaces, including the regional sports complex and eight acres of waterfront promenades and parks along the Seaplane Lagoon.
Over the next two years, Site A is anticipated to complete additional housing units originally approved in 2015. Construction cost increases have caused major constraints on the ability of the project to meet its original objectives.
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
xi
Housing - The City approved a four-block development of approximately 589 affordable units for the Alameda Housing Authority in 2020, construction continued on the 360 unit Del Monte Building residential project and the 776 unit Alameda Marina residential project.
Recreation and Parks:
The De-Pave Park Vision Plan was approved and a grant submitted to fund a more comprehensive Master Plan process, construction document development and application for regional permits.
Through an extensive renaming process with the community, the park formerly known as Jackson Park was officially renamed as Chochenyo Park to honor the local Indigenous people, the Lisjan Ohlone, and their native language.
Preparing to open three new parks built by housing developers that will be maintained and operated by the Recreation and Parks Department, including Alameda Point Neighborhood Park, Alameda Point Waterfront Park and Alameda Landing Waterfront Park. Significant park improvements completed include a new restroom and gym floor at the Alameda Point Gym, drainage at the Leydecker Recreation Center and Bay Farm Library, and replacement of the northeast gangway and dock at Grand Street Boat Ramp. The first 9-holes of the North Course at Corica Park Golf Course opened to the public. There was a major structural fire at the Littlejohn Park Recreation Center and the rebuilding process began. This center was the location of both Recreation and Parks programs as well as Ala Costa, a non-profit providing after school and summer programs for youth with developmental disabilities.
Information Technology, Finance, and Human Resources Departments - Implemented the new Tyler Munis Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and the new OpenGov budgeting system.
Other business development highlights – The City completed its citywide Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) in 2018. The EDSP is the City’s long-term (five to ten years) roadmap for business attraction, retention and workforce development activities. The EDSP identified life sciences as one of the six business sectors in Alameda targeted for growth:
Research Park at Marina Village has recently attracted many life science companies, including Scribe Therapeutics co-founded by Nobel Prize chemist Jennifer Doudra. Penumbra, Alameda’s largest private sector employer, has grown to over 2,000 employees. Exelixis, a bio-medical business, leased over 100,000 square feet at Harbor Bay Business Park, and at 300 employees, is now one of the City’s largest private employers. Construction was completed on a 70-room hotel in 2021.
Pension and Post-Employment Benefits Liability
Pension and Post-Employment Benefits Liability - The City has worked to successfully enact Pension and OPEB solutions to address the liability. Those effort s include limiting retiree health care to former employees-only (spouses and families are now excluded), significant employee financial contributions to both pension and retirement health care benefits, and raising the age of retirement as a result of the State’s own pension reform efforts. In addition to these actions, the City Council has adopted a Pension Rate Stabilization and OPEB Funding Policy (Policy) that directs annual contributions to a Public Agencies Retirement Services (PARS) Trust for prefunding Pension and other Post-Employment Benefits Obligations. The Council further adopted a policy such that one-half of each fiscal year’s General Fund surplus over the 25 percent available fund balance shall be put toward reducing the CalPERS unfunded liability for either pensions or other post-employ ment benefits. The Council recently directed that 25 Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
xii
percent of the surplus fund balance be sent to the City’s 115 Trust and the remaining 75 percent be sent directly to CalPERS to reduce the City’s unfunded pension liability. The 115 Trust also restricts funds so they can only be used to address these long-term obligations. Another notable feature of the Policy is to direct any unspent funds of the City’s closed legacy pension plans (1079/1082 Pension Plans) toward the Trust, which will also help fund these obligations.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City developed a Capital Improvement and Maintenance Plan (CIP) detailing specific budgeted capital projects. Each of the projects is consistent with the overall goals and principles of the City. Below are certain highlights of projects completed during the reporting period.
Cyclic 17 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation ($8.9 million)
The project replaced 2.7 miles of sewer main in locations prioritized based on condition assessment and possible consequence of pipe failure. It furthers the objectives of the City’s Sewer System Management Plan and Sewer Master Plan. The work also meets the annual work requirements per a federal consent decree the City is party to.
Repairing and Resurfacing of Certain Streets ($1.3 million) The City's Pavement Management Program repaired and/or resurfaced approximately three miles of roadway. The project included treatment of an estimated 4.5 miles of pavement. The City’s Pavement Management Index, issued by the Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission is “Good”.
Sidewalk Repair and Replacement ($0.6 million)
The City’s sidewalk program removed nearly 3,000 tripping hazards and 8,000 square feet of deteriorated sidewalk. As conduits for pedestrian movement and access, sidewalks enhance connectivity and promote walking. Safe, accessible, and well maintained sidewalks are fundamental to mobility and a healthy community.
Dredging of Lagoon 3 and Lagoon 5 ($0.6 million)
The project mechanically dredged the lagoons to remove accumulated sediment. The dredge spoils were loaded into trucks and hauled to suitable disposal sites that accepted the material. This work is needed to maintain water storage, movement and quality in the lagoons, which serve both recreational and stormwater detention purposes.
Otis Drive Traffic Calming Project ($1.1 million)
To improve street safety, the project converted Otis Drive from a four-lane street to three-lanes, adding bike lanes, updating crosswalks, installation of a pedestrian island and rectangular rapid flash beacon (RRFB) system, constructing a protected intersection at Otis Drive and Grand Street, and bus stop improvements.
Street, Parking Lot and Park Pathway LED Retrofit ($0.5 million) Nearly 2,000 decorative lights were converted to LED, an energy efficient alternative to the existing high- pressure sodium. This project not only yields utility savings that can be utilized to repair and replace poles, it improves lighting in the immediate as the existing lamps were past their useful life.
Installation of Traffic Signals on Harbor Bay Parkway ($0.9 million) The project installed signals at Harbor Bay Parkway/North and South Loop Road and Harbor Bay Parkway/Penumbra Place and South Loop Road, including, but not limited to, traffic signal cabinet and Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council

controller, service, signal poles, accessible pedestrian signal, video detection systems, battery backup system, and emergency vehicle preemption.
New Seaplane Lagoon Ferry Terminal ($22 million)
Through an assortment of developer funds, grant dollars and multiple contributing agencies, a third ferry terminal is now open in the City of Alameda. A monumental step towards reducing commuter’s reliance on vehicles. The terminal’s exact location is called Seaplane Lagoon Ferry because it is located where the Navy’s amphibious aircraft used to emerge from the bay and taxi onto land. The Water Emergency Transportation Authority will run the ferry and manage the water side assets. The City will maintain the landside assets.
The FY 2020-21 adopted Capital Improvement Program Budget appropriated an additional $25.25 million and was allocated to the following types of projects:
Category Amount in Millions Percent of Total
Rehabilitation $14.46 57.3%
Transportation $9.71 38.5%

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Alameda, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Alameda (City), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as
listed in the Table of Contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepte d 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 from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, includi ng the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation an d fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and approp riate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statemen ts referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities , each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 202 1, and the respective change s in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective bu dgetary comparisons listed in the Table of Contents as part of the basic financial statements for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
1 Change in Accounting Principles
Management adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 84 – Fiduciary Activities, which became effective during the year ended June 30, 2021 and required the restatement of net position of the Other Post-Employment Benefits Pl an Trust Funds as discussed in Note 8D to the financial statements.
In
addition, the Statement established the new fund type, Custodial Funds, and e liminated the fund type of Agency Funds.
Management also early-adopted the provisions of Gove rnmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 98 - The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2021, which establishes the term annual comprehensive financial report and its acronym ACFR . That new term and acronym replace instances of comprehensive annual financial report and its acronym in generally accepted accounting principles for state and local governments.
The emphasis of these matters does not constitute a modification to our opinions.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and 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 ap propriate 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 Unite d States of America, which consiste d of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and compari ng the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The Introductory Section, Supplemental Information, and Statistical Section as listed in the Table of Contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The Supplemental Information, as listed in the Table of Contents, is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America by us and other auditors. In our opinion, the Supplemental Information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The Introductory and Statistical Sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them. 2 Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 9, 2022, on our
consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral pa rt of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) provides an overview of the City of Alameda’s activities and financial performance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. To obtain a complete understanding of the City’s financial condition, this document should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Transmittal Letter, Basic Financial Statements, and the notes to the basic financial statements.
Financial Highlights
The City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities . This Statement establishes cr iteria for identifying fiduciary activities of all state and local governments. The focus of the criteria generally is on 1) whether a government is controlling the asse ts of the fiduciary activity and 2) the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. Separate criteria are included to identify fiduciary component units and poste mployment benefit arrangements that are fiduciary activities.
The assets and deferred outflows of the governm ental activities of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at the close of the fiscal year by $226.6 million, of which unrestricted net position was a deficit of $217. 1 million. Excluding the $366.2 million net pension liability, total pension liability, and net OPEB liability, which are not claims on current year financial assets, $149.1 million of unrestricted net position is available to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. The City’s total net position increased by $41.1 million from the prior year, with $4.1 million attributable to business-type activities and $37.0 million to governmental activities. As of June 30, 2021, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $202.8 million, an increase of $33.1 million in comparison to the prior year. Of this amount, $56.6 million of unassigned fund balance is available for spending at the City’s discretion. At the close of the fiscal year, the General Fund reported total assets of $78.8 million and total fund balance of $73.1 million. This represents an increase in fund balance of $18.4 million, or 33.6% from prior fiscal year. Of the total fund balance, $56.6 million, or 77.4%, was unassigned.
Overview of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is presented in five sections:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide Financial Statements provide a long-term view of the City’s activities as a whole. They also provide the overall financial condition of the City using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector businesse s. They include the St atement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the government’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred in flows of resources on a full accrual basis of accounting similar to that used by private-sector companies. Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities provides information about the City’s revenues and expenses on a full accrual basis, with an emphasis on measuring net revenues or expenses for each of the City’s programs. The Statement of Activities explains, in detail, the change in net position for the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
The amount of the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are divided into two categories in order to provide a summary of each type of activity:
Governmental Activities – all of the City’s basic services are reported in this category.
Included in basic services are the City Counc il, City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, Human Resources, Finance, Police, Fi re, Public Works, Building, Planning, Transportation, Community Development Services, Housing, Library, and Recreation and Parks. These services are supported by the City’s general revenues such as taxes, state subventions, and by special program revenues such as fees and grants.
Business-Type Activities – all of the City’s enterprise activities are reported in this category. Unlike governmental services, thes e services are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges. Included in the City’s enterprise activities are sewer and electric utility systems.
Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds, or “major funds”, not the City as a whole. Therefore, each major fund is presented individually, while all non-major fund s are combined in a singl e column on each fund statement. Supplemental schedules display these non-major funds in more detail. The General Fund is always considered a major fund, but other funds may change from year-to-year as a result of changes in the pattern of City activities.
Some funds are required to be established by State law and by bond covenants. However, management establishes many other funds to help control and manage funds for particular purposes or to show legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants or other monies are being met.
6 City of Alameda, California
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
The Fund Financial Statement display the City’s operations in more detail than the Government- Wide Financial Statements. All funds of the City can be divided into three categories:
Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds and Fiduciary Funds.
Governmental Funds – Most of the City’s basic services are included in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of these funds and the balances left at fiscal year- end that are available for spending. Governmental Funds Financial Statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, wh ich means they measure only current financial resources and uses. Governmental Funds Financial Statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources as well as on the balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. This information may be useful in evaluating a government’s ability to meet its near-term financial requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the Government-Wide Financial Statem ents, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar in formation presented for governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to assist the reader with this comparison between governmental funds and governmental acti vities. Capital assets and other long-term assets, along with long-term liabilities, are presented only in the Governmental-Wide Financial Statements.
Proprietary Funds – When the City charges customers for services it provides, whether to outside customers or other units of the City, th ese monies are generally reported in proprietary funds. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and internal service funds. These financial statements are pr epared on the full accrual basis of accounting, similar to that used by private-sector companies . The City’s proprietary funds are the same as the business-type activities reported in the Government-Wide Financial Statements, but provide more detail and additional information, such as a statement of cash flows.
Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary Funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. The City’s fiduciary activities are reported in separate statements including the Statement of Fiduciary Net Position and the Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Fund Net Position. These activities are excluded fr om the Government-Wide Financial Statements because the resources of those funds are not av ailable to support the City’s own programs.
Fiduciary funds are prepared on the full accrual basi s, similar to the proprietary funds. The City has two types of fiduciary funds: the custodial funds and the private purpose trust funds.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The Notes to the Basic Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to acquire a full understanding of the data prov ided in the Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements. The Notes to the Financial Statements follow the basic financial statements.
Required Supplemental Information
In addition to the Basic Financial Stat ements and accompanying notes, the Required Supplemental Information presents required supplementary information, including information on the City’s pension and OPEB plans. Required supplementary information can be found immediately following the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.
Financial Analysis of Government-Wide Financial Statements
This section focuses on the City’s net position and changes in net position of its governmental and business-type activities. The net position, for the City as a whole, increased $41.1 million or
11.6%, from $353.9 million at June 30, 2020 to $395.0 million at June 30, 2021. The change in net position is mainly due to increases of $63.7 million in assets and $8.0 million in deferred outflow of resources, which is offset by an increase of $17.5 million in liabilities.
8 City of Alameda, California
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
Details of the net position are presented in the summary are as follows:
At June 30, 2021, the City report ed positive balances in all categor ies of net position except for unrestricted net position primarily due to the inclusion of the net pension liabilities and net OPEB liabilities. The largest portion of the City’s net position, $416.4 million, is its investment in capital assets less any related outstanding debt that was used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to it s residents and other stakeholders. Accordingly, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources because the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
Restricted net position, that portion of the City’s net position, 40.1%, subject to restrictions on how these resources may be used, increased $8.7 milli on from $149.6 million at June 30, 2020 to $158.3 million at June 30, 2021. This was primarily a result of allocating funds to a number of capital and transportation projects during the year. The corresponding increase is in the net investment in capital assets component of the net position.
Total liabilities increased by $16.5 million from $511.1 million at June 30, 2020 to $527.6 million at June 30, 2021 due primarily to an increase in the City’s net pension liability and net OPEB liability.
Information about changes in net position is presented in the summary schedule below:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
Total revenues increased approximately $5.2 million or 1.9%. The primary increases are in property taxes of $6.6 million and a $3.0 million increase in capital grants and contributions.
These increases were offset by a $9.4 million decrease in use of money and properties. Both of the increases and the decrease were recorded in governmental activities.
Expenses decreased approximately $4.2 million or 1.8% compared to the prior year. This is primarily due to a $3.1 million decrease in Police and a $1.8 million decrease in Public Works.
Governmental Activities – Expense and Program Revenue by Source
Program revenue associated with Governmental Activities total $72.5 million, or 44.3% of program expenses. Expenses not covered by program revenues must be funded from non-program sources such as general tax revenues. The table below illustrates the gap between program revenues and expenses by major activity. Public safety programs rely heavily on taxes to support operations. General government programs provide benefit to both business-type and governmental activities and receive some funding through internal indirect cost allocations to supplement program revenue and general tax revenue.
The pie chart on the next page illustrates the distribution of total revenue of $196.3 million among its various sources. The largest revenue sour ces for governmental activities are property and related taxes of $63.4 million, or 32.3%, and charges for services of $36.3 million, or 18.5%, of total governmental revenues. Operating and capital grants and contributions approximated $36.2 million in 2021, or 18.4% of total governmental revenues. Sales taxes and utility users tax are also significant individual revenue sources for the City’s governmental activities, amounting to
9.9% and 4.6%, respectively. The “Other Taxes” category represents 12.9% of total revenues, increasing by 16.1% from the prior year. This increase in other taxes can be mostly attributed to a rise in transfer taxes and franchise fees. The remaining 3.4% of revenue for governmental activities comes from use of money and property revenues and miscellaneous revenues.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
Financial Analysis of Governmental Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Alameda uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Alameda’s financing requirements. In particular, the unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for discretionary use as it represents the portion of fund balance not yet limited to us e for a particular purpose by either an external party, the City itself, or an entity that has been delegated authority by the City Council to assign resources for use at the end of the fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2021, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $202.8 million. Approximately $56.6 million, or 27.9%, of the combined ending fund balance constitutes unassigned fund balance , which is available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remaining balance is either nonspendable, restricted, committed or assigned to indicate that it is:
1) not in spendable form ($2.1 million) as it has been committed to liquidate contracts and purchase orders from the prior fiscal period, pay debt service, or fund future needs; 2)
restricted for particular purposes ($113.1 million);
3) committed for particular purposes ($14.1 million); or 4) assigned for particular purposes ($16.8 million).
The following are the major funds that either qualified under the reporting criteria or were considered to be important to financial statement users:
General Fund
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. As of June 30, 2021, unassigned fund balance of the General Fund wa s $56.6 million; the remain ing fund balance, including nonspendable, restricted and committed resources, was $16.5 million. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 58.9% of total General Fund expenditures and transfers out.
General Fund revenues increased $8.6 million, or 8.1%, from the prior fiscal year to $115.1 million in FY 2020-21. Property tax revenues for the fisca l year were $49.3 million, an increase of $3.6 million or 7.8% over the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the rise in median home sale prices in the City of Alameda, new housing developments, and the receipt of residual property tax distributions as a result of redevelopment diss olution. Real property transfer tax increased $3.3 million or 22.0% compared to the prior year due mainly to an in crease in home sales in an appreciating home value market.
Other local taxes and Sales tax, the third and fourth largest revenue sources, respectively, for the City’s General Fund, increased by $2.4 million, or 17.9%, over the prior year for a combined total of $27.0 million. This was a result of a strong recovery after the onset of the pandemic in the prior fiscal year.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
General Fund expenditures totaled $86.0 million for FY 2020-21 compared to $84.3 million in the prior fiscal year. This amount excludes encumbrances outstanding at year end. The increase of $1.7 million, or 2.0%, was mostly attributed to an increase in costs related to Fire protection in the City.
Transfers out for FY 2020-21 were $18.0 million compared to $13.2 million in the prior year. This increase of $4.8 million was due to a one-time transfer of $9.0 million to the Pension Stabilization internal service fund to help with pension prepayments.
The fund balance of the City’s General Fund was $73.1 million at June 30, 2021, which is a $18.4 million, or 33.9%, increase from the prior fiscal year. Revenues and transfers in of $122.4 million were $11.4 million, or 10.2%, higher than FY 201 9-20. Expenditures and transfers out were $103.9 million, which is $6.4 million, or 6.5%, higher than FY 2019-20. These increases are explained above.
The Base Reuse Special Revenue Fund received a $29.5 million transfer from Alameda Point Capital Projects Fund, increasing the Base Reuse Special Revenue Fund ending fund balance to $53.4 million, while decreasing that of Alameda Point to $2.7 million. This transfer was to return proceeds not used for construction costs at Al ameda Point in FY 2020-21. The Alameda Point fund balance is restricted for construction, improvements, maintenance projects, and development activities for current and future capital projects at Alameda Point.
The Capital Improvement Projects Fund has a total fund balance of $3.1 million as of June 30, 2021, all committed for current and future capital projects. The fund incurred expenditures of $20.5 million for capital projects during FY 2020-21, including the following:

Jean Sweeney Park ($1.5 million)

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
During the fiscal year, the total actual revenue and transfers in for the General Fund were $111 million, exceeding projections by $3.1 million, or 3%. The total actual expenditures and transfers out for the General Fund were $98 million. This was $15.3 million, or 14%, less than the final budget.
Revenues exceeded budget primarily due to increased home values resulting in property tax and transfer tax exceeding budget by $2.8 million, combined, and the new Transaction and Use Tax exceeding projections by $1.2 million. Additionally, revenue from charges for services exceeded projections by $0.6 million primarily due to higher than anticipated ambulance billing charges by the Fire Department. Overall, actual expenditures were $13.6 million below appropriations. This is a result of departments staying within a llocated appropriations magnified by personnel vacancies in Police, Finance and Public Works Departments.
The City Council established a 20% reserve policy and a 5% economic contingency reserve policy, measured in proportion to the budgeted expenditures and transfers out. As of June 30, 2021, the General Fund available fund balance was $39.4 million, or 53.9% of the year’s appropriations, excluding the one-time appropria tions for pay down of pension and OPEB unfunded liabilities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021
Economic Outlook and Next Year’s Budget
Following the immediate business disruption and economic impacts from the onset of the COVID- 19 pandemic in the last quarter of FY 2019-20, the City’s major revenue sources outperformed projections in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. Although the pandemic continued to impact brick-and-mortar businesses through FY 2020-21, growth in property values coupled with an increase in sales activity resulted in a boost to property tax revenues and transfer tax, and the continuing trend of consumer activity shifting to online transactions resulted in higher-than- expected receipts for sales tax and transaction and use tax.
The City expects growth in property tax revenues to continue at least through FY 2021-22 due to the inflation-driven increase in assessments, the growth in sales prices, and the high rate of sales activity. The rate of growth is expected to slow as interest rates rise and/or sales prices reach a level such that consumer demand decreases and sales prices begin to drop. Although a market correction is expected in the next few years, proper ty tax has historically been a stable revenue source for the City and is expected to remain stable.
The City’s diverse revenue base allowed for minimal pandemic-related service disruptions.
Parking program fees were most directly affect ed by the suspension of parking enforcement in the commercial districts. Enforcement re-commenced in FY 2021-22 and program revenues are expected to recover by the end of FY 2022-23 under a newly reorganized parking program.
Staff does not anticipate that major programming changes will be needed to balance expenditures with revenues in the FY 2021-23 budget cycle. In the long term, the City will continue to evaluate opportunities for new revenue sources and monitor cost changes that exceed revenue growth, particularly for liability insurance, employee health premiums, and pension obligations, in order to ensure that the City can avoid major service level cuts.

Statement of Net Position
and Statement of Activities
The Statement of Net Position reports the difference between the City’s total assets, deferred outflows of resources, the City’s total liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, including all the City’s capital assets and all its long- term obligations. The Statement of Net Position summari zes the financial position of all the City’s Governmental Activities in a single column, and the financial position of all the City’s Busine ss-Type Activities in a single column;
these columns are followed by a Total column that presents the financial position of the entire City.
The City’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, its Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. Since the City’s Internal Service Funds primarily service these Funds, their activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after elimin ating inter-fund transactions and balances. The City’s Business-type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the City’s net position. It presents the City’s expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with the expenses of its business-type activities. Program revenues - that is, revenues which are generated directly by these programs - are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each governmental and business-type progr am. The City’s general revenues are then listed in the Governmental Activities or Business-type Activities, as appropriate, and the Change in Net Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
Both of these Statements include the financial activities of the City, and the blended component units: the Alameda Public Financing Authority and the City of Alameda Fi nancing Authority, which are legally separate entities and are considered component units of the City because they are controlled by the City, which is financially accountable for the activities of the entities.

Reconciliation of the
Net Change in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds
with the Change in Governmental Net Position
For the Year Ended June 30, 2021
The schedule below reconciles the Net Changes in Fund Balances reported on the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance, which measures only changes in current assets and current liabilities on the modified accrual basis, with the Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities reported in the Statement of Activities, which is prepared on the full accrual basis.
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS 33,070,297$ Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because of the followin g:
CAPITAL ASSETS TRANSACTIONS
Capital outlay therefore added back to fund balance 25,874,682 Non-capitalized capital outlay expenditures were re-classified to various governmental activities (10,492,973) Retirements are deducted from fund balance (125,839)
Depreciation expense is deducted from fund balance (10,621,285) (Depreciation expense is net of internal service fund depreciation of $1,163,479 which has already been allocated to service funds)
LONG-TERM DEBT ISSUANCE AND PAYMENTS
Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases lon g-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but in the Statement of Net Position the repayment reduces long-term liabilities.
Repayment of debt principal is added back to fund balance 2,490,674 Amortization of bond premium is added back to fund balance 30,986
ACCRUAL OF NON-CURRENT ITEMS
Unavailable revenue 217,283
Interest payable 17,982
Net pension liability, and related deferred outflows/ inflows of resources (13,768,722) Total pension liability (612,764)
Net OPEB liability, and related deferred outflows/ inflows of resources (3,619,324) Compensated absences (94,903)
ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ACTIVITY
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as equipment acquisition, equipment, maintenance, and insurance to individual funds. The portion of the net revenue (expense) of these Internal Service Funds arising from their transactions with governmental funds is reported with governmental activities, because they service those activities.
Change in Net Position - All Internal Service Funds 14,589,694 CHANGE IN NET POSITION OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES 36,955,788$ See accompanying notes to financial statements.
Governmental Funds report capital outlays 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.
The amounts below included in the Statement of Activities do not provide or (require) the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as revenue or expenditures in governmental funds (net change):

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The City of Alameda, California, oc cupies the island of Alameda situat ed in the San Francisco Bay. The City operates under the Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services: public safety (police and fire); streets and related improve ments; development servic es; public improvements; planning and zoning, community services (parks, recr eation and library), sewer services, electricity, and general administration services.
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Alameda is a charter city and is gover ned by a five-member City Council elected by City residents. The City is legally separate and fiscally independent, which means it can issue debt, adopt and modify budgets and fees, and sue or be sued. These financial statemen ts present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the government’s operations, thus, data from these units are combined with that of the primary government.
Primary Government
The financial statements of the prim ary government of the City of Al ameda include the activities of the City, as well as its blended component units, which are controlled by and dependent upon the City. While these blended component units are separate legal entities, their financial activities are integral to those of the City. Their financial activities have been aggregated and merged (termed “blending”) with those of the primary government of the City in the accompanying financial statements.
Blended Component Units
The Alameda Public Financing Authority (APFA) is a separate government entity whose purpose is to assist with the financing or refinancing of certain pu blic capital facilities within the City. APFA has the power to purchase bonds issued by any local agency at a public or negotiated sale and may sell such bonds to public or private purchasers at a public or negotia ted sale. APFA is controlled by the City and has the same governing body as the City, which also perfo rms all accounting and administrative functions for APFA. The financial activities of APFA are included in the City’s financial statements. The APFA does not issue separate financial statements.
The City of Alameda Financing Authority (CAFA) is a separate government entity whose purpose is to assist with the financing or refinancing of certain public capital facilities within the City. CAFA has the power to purchase bonds issued by any local agency at a public or negotiated sale and may sell such bonds to public or private purchasers at a public or negotia ted sale. CAFA is controlle d by the City and has the same governing body as the City, which also perfo rms all accounting and administrative functions for CAFA. The financial activities of CAFA are included in the City’s financial statements. The CAFA does not issue separate financial statements.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2021
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Basis of Presentation
The City’s Basic Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States.
These GASB Standards require that the financial statements described below be presented:
Government-wide Statements: The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the primary gove rnment, the City and its blended component units. These statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary activities.
Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. However, the interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the City. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions. Business-type activities are financed, in whole or in part, by fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifi cally associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular fu nction. Program revenues include: (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs; (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational needs of a particular program; and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the City’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 individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column.
All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues, such as charges for servi ces, and expenses, such as contract ual services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchan ge transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as investment earnings, and expenses, such as interest expenses, result from nonexchange tr ansactions or ancillary activities.

C. Major Funds
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets plus deferred outflows of resources, liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources, revenues or expenditures equal to ten percent of their fund-type total and five percent of the grand total. Major governmental and enterprise funds are identified and presented separately in the fund financial statements. All other funds, entitled non-major funds, are combined and reported in a single column, regardless of their fund-type. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds based on qualitative factors.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
General Fund - The General Fund accounts for all general reve nues of the City not specifically levied or collected by other City funds and their related expe nditures. The General Fund also accounts for all financial resources of a governmental unit which are not accounted for in another fund.
HOME Program Special Revenue Fund - This fund accounts for funds received under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) restricted for affordable housing for low-income households.
Base Reuse Special Revenue Fund - This fund accounts for the revenues from leasing activities revenues and grants. Expenditures are made for base reuse activities.
Capital Improvement Projects Fund - This fund accounts for monies for major capital improvement projects not provided for in a separate and specific capital project fund transferred in from other funds and received from grants.
Alameda Point Capital Projects Fund - This fund accounts for revenues and expenditures related to construction, improvements and capital maintenance projects within Alameda Point.
The City reported both of its enterprise funds as major funds in the accompanying financial statements:
Sewer Services Fund - The City operates its own wastewater system. This fund accounts for all financial transactions relating to this municipal activity including, but not limited to, operations, maintenance, capital financing and related debt service, billing and collection.
Alameda Municipal Power Fund - Alameda Municipal Power was established to provide electricity to the City of Alameda. This fund accounts for all financ ial transactions relating to this municipal activity including, but not limited to, opera tions, maintenance, capital financing and related debt services, billing and collection.
49 City of Alameda
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2021
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds - The funds account for central stores, central garage, information technology projects, workers’ compensation insurance and claims, general liability insurance and claims, unemployment insurance and post-employment benefits, all of which are provided to other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Funds - Trust Funds and Custodial Funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent:
Trust Funds - These funds account for asse ts held by the City as an agent for various functions.
The Successor Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources to be used for payments due for the City’s former Community Improvement Commission at appropriate amounts and times in the future. The financial activities of this fund is excluded from the Government-wide financial statements, but is presented in separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements.
Custodial Funds - These funds account for assets held by the City as an agent for certain assessment districts in the City. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the Government-wide financial statements, but are pr esented in separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements.
D. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide, proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available.
The City considers all revenues reported in the gove rnmental funds to be available if the revenues are generally collected within sixty days after year-e nd. Expenditures are record ed when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and in terest on governmental long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recogn ized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Governmental capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Proceeds of governmental long-term debt and acquisitions under cap ital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Those revenues susceptible to accr ual are taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, use of money and property revenue, charges for services, fi nes and penalties, and license and permit revenues.
Sales taxes collected and held by the State at year-end on behalf of the City are also recognized as revenue. 50 City of Alameda
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2021
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include taxes, grants, ent itlements, and donations. On the accrual basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or assessed. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
The City’s policy is to first apply restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position is available.
All proprietary and fiduciary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when earned, and their expenses are r ecognized when incurred, ex cept for revenues from electricity and sewer customers, which are recognized based on cycle billings.
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position or balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows or resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisiti on of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an infl ow of resources (revenue) until that time.
E. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City adopts a budget annually for all funds, excep t for the capital projects funds, which are budgeted on the project length basis. This budget is effective July 1 for the ensuing fiscal year. From the effective date of the budget, which is adopted by the City Council, and controlled at the fund level, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures become approp riations to the various City departments. The City Council may amend the budget during the fiscal year. The City Manager or his designee is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments and be tween line items within any fund. However, any revisions which alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the City Council. Transfers between funds must be approved by the City Council. All appropriations lapse at year end. Supplemental changes in appropriations that have been adopted by the City Council have been included in the budget versus actual statements.
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles except for capital projects funds. The capital projects funds are budgeted on a project length basis and, therefore, are not comparable on an annual basis.
Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditures of monies are recorded in order to reserve that po rtion of the applicable appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an exte nsion of the formal budgetary pro cess. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as a componen t of assigned fund balance in the General Fund, and as restricted or committed fund balance in other funds, since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities and are re- appropriated in the following year. Encumbrances outstanding at year end do not lapse and are included as part of the following year budget.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2021
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Waste Reduction Surcharge Special Revenue Fund had expenditures in excess of budget in Fiscal Year 2021 of $378,144. Sufficient resources were available within the fund to finance the excess.
F. Materials, Parts and Supplies
General fund supplies are recorded as expenditures at the time individual supply items are purchased.
Enterprise Fund supplies are valued at average cost and are used primarily for internal purposes.
G. Capital Assets
Capital assets, other than infrastructure assets, are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000 for all funds except Alameda Municipal Power, which capitalizes all assets with an initial cost of more than $5,000 and a useful life of at least three years. All capital assets, which include roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems, are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Contributed assets are valued at their acquisition value on the date contributed.
All capital assets with limited useful lives are depreciated during their estimated useful lives. The purpose of depreciation is to allocate the cost of capital assets equitably am ong all users during the life of these assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each y ear represents that year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, which means the cost of the asset is divided by its expected useful life in years, and the result is char ged to expense each year until the asset is fully depreciated. The City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets:
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase is reflected in the capitalized value of the asset constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds within the same period.
Electric Plant 30 – 50 years
Building and Improvements 40 – 80 years
Machinery, Furniture and Equipment 4 – 40 years
Infrastructure 15 – 75 years

H. Compensated Absences
The liability for compensated absences includes the vested portions of vacation, sick leave and compensated time off. For all governmental funds, a liability of these amounts is reported only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. The remaining portion is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Net Position. Proprietary funds’ liability for compensated absences is recorded in each proprietary fund. The liability for compensated absences is determined annually.
Compensated absences activity for the year ended June 30, 2021 is as follows:
Governmental
Activities
Business Type
Activities Total
Beginning Balance 4,100,417$ 746,131 $ 4,846,548 $ Additions 4,496,180 666,783 5,162,963
Payments (4,401,277) (717,848) (5,119,125)
Ending Balance 4,195,320 $ 695,066 $ 4,890,386 $ Current Portion 4,195,320$ 695,066 $ 4,890,386 $ Primary Government
Compensated absences are liquidated by the fund that has recorded the liability. The long-term portion of governmental activities compensated absences is liquidated primarily by the General Fund.
I. Property Tax
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties at a rate of up to 1% of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. Property taxes are collected by the Auditor- Controller of the County of Alameda (County) and ar e remitted upon collecti on to the various taxing entities, including the City. Accordingly, the City accrues only those taxes that are received from the County within sixty days after year-end.
For assessment and collection purposes, property is classified as either “secured” or “unsecured” and is listed accordingly on separate parts of the assessment roll. The “secured roll” is that part of the assessment roll containing State-assessed property and real property having a tax lien that is sufficient, in the opinion of the County Assessor, to secure payment of the taxes. Unsecured property comprises all taxable property not attached to land, such as personal property or business property. Every tax levied by a county that becomes a lien on secured property has priority over all present and future private liens arising pursuant to the State law on the secured property, regardless of the time of the creation of the other liens. A tax levied on unsecured property does not become a lien against the taxed unsecured property, but may become a lien on other property owned by the taxpayer.
53 City of Alameda
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2021
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Valuation of secured property and esta blishment of a statutory tax lien oc cur as of January 1 prior to the tax year of the related tax levy, and the secured and unsecured tax rolls are certified on or before July 31 of the tax year by the County Assessor. The County assesses property values, levies bills, and collects taxes.
Secured property tax is due in two installments on November 1 and February 1. It becomes delinquent after December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured prop erty tax is due on July 1 and become delinquent on August 31.
The City does not have the ability to control the levy rate or the amount of property taxes remitted by the County because these are governed by State law.
J. Purchased Power Balancing Account
The Purchased Power Balancing Account is used by Alameda Municipal Power to help stabilize rates.
Specifically, the balancing account accumulates differences between the actual costs of providing a utility service with the related revenues designated for recovery of such costs. Deferred amounts are refunded to or recovered from customers through authorized rate adjustments, but can be reciprocally the beneficiaries of any temporary over-collection. The effect of using the balancing account is that unanticipated changes in sales levels and purchased power costs do not im mediately affect Alameda Municipal Power’s rates, because they are included in operating expenses when matched by revenues.
K.
Deferred Inflows / Outflows of Resources
Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category: 1) deferred charges on refunding debt reported in the statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price; this amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt and 2) deferred outflows related to OPEB and pensions.
Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. For the governmental funds, the City has one item which qualifies for reporting in this category (under the modified accrual basis of accounting). Accordingly, the item, unavailable re venues, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet and represents unavailable revenues from revolving notes receivable, grant reimbursements, and other miscellaneous revenues not yet received. This amount is deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amount becomes available. At the government-wide statements, this item is eliminated and recognized as revenue since “availabi lity” of resources is not a criteria used in the government-wide statements. In addition, the City reports deferred inflows related to pensions, OPEB and deferred inflows related to the Alameda Municipal Power Fund balancing account used to help stabilize rate discussed above.

L. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuatio n techniques used to meas ure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs – other than quoted pric es included within level 1 – that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
M. Reserve Policies
General Fund Balance General Fund balance that is available at the close of any given fiscal year is estimated during the final stages of the budget development process for the following fiscal year. Fund balance is used to achieve and maintain the City’s reserve goals, and to balance subsequent budgets only when recommended by the City Mana ger and approved by the City Counc il. It is the policy of the City Council to maintain available General Fund reserves of at least 20% of annual expenditures. In addition, the City should strive to reduce its reliance upon prior year’s remaining fund balance to finance subsequent year operations.
Sewer Fund Reserves In its Sewer Fund, the City shall strive to maintain a minimu m of six months of operating revenues and $2 million for future capital projects in its reserves, to account for delays in receipt of sewer charges placed on the County tax roll and to ensure sufficient available cash to pay operating and capital expenses.
N. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

O. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncements
The GASB issued Statement No. 84 “Fiduciary Activities .” The objective of this statement is to improve guidance regarding the identification of fiduciary activities for accounting and financial reporting purposes and how those activities should be reported. The City implemented the provisions of Statement No. 84 in Fiscal Year 2021.
The GASB issued Statement No. 90 “Majority Equity Interest - An Am endment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 61.” The objectives of this Statement are to improve the consistency and comparability of reporting a government’s majority equity interest in a legally separate organi zation and to improve the relevance of financial statement information for certain component units. This statement became effective for the City’s Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2021, bu t did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
The GASB issued Statement No. 98 “ The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. ” This Statement establishes the term annual comprehensive financial report and its acronym ACFR. That new term and acronym replace instances of comprehensive annual financial report and its acronym in generally accepted accounting principles for state and local governments. This statement is effective for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022, but the City early im plemented the provisions of the Stat ement in the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2021
P. Upcoming GASB Pronouncements
The City is analyzing the effects of the following pronouncements and the potential impact on the financial statements for the following GASBs by the effective dates:
The GASB issued Statement No. 87 “ Leases.” The objective of this statement is to improve guidelines related to the recognition of lease assets and liabilities that previous ly were classified as operating leases. Application of statement No. 87 is effective for the City’s Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022.
The GASB issued Statement No. 89 “Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred Before the end of a Construction Period.” The objective of this statement is to e nhance the relevance and comparability of information about capital assets and the cost of borrowing and to simplify accounting for interest costs incurred before the end of the construction period. Application of statement No. 89 is effective for the City’s Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022.
The GASB issued Statement No. 91 “Conduit Debt Obligations.” The primary objectives of this Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by i ssuers, (2) arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This Statement achieves those objectives by clarifying the existing definition of a conduit debt obligation; establishing that a conduit debt obligation is not a liability of the issuer; establishing standards fo r accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments extended by i ssuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note disclosures. Application of statement No. 91 is effective for the City’s Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2023.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2021
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The GASB issued Statement No. 92 “Omnibus 2020.” The objectives of this Statement are to enhance comparability in accounting and financial reporting and to improve the consis tency of authoritative literature by addressing practice issues that have been identified during implementation and application of certain GASB Statements. This Statement addresses a variety of topics and includes specific provisions including reporting of intra-entity transfers of assets between a primary government employer and a component unit defined benefit pension plan or defined benefit other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan, the applicability of Statements No . 73 and No. 74, as amended, to reporting assets accumulated for postemployment benefits, the applicability of certain requirements of Statement No. 84 to postemployment benefit arrangements, and reference to nonrecurring fair value measurem ents of assets or liabilities in authoritative literature, among other requirements. Certain provisions of the Statement related to Implementation Guide 2019-3, rein surance recoveries, and terminology used to refer to derivative instruments were effective upon issuance of the Stat ement in January 2020, but did not have a material effect on the City’s financial statements and the rest of the provisions of the Statement are effective for the City’s Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022.
The GASB issued Statement No. 93 “Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates.” Some governments have entered into agreements in which variable payments made or received depend on an interbank offered rate (IBOR)—most notably, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). As a result of global reference rate reform, LIBOR is expected to cease to exist in its current form at the end of 2021, prompting governments to amend or replace financial instruments for the purp ose of replacing LIBOR with other reference rates, by either changing the reference rate or adding or changing fallback provisions related to the reference rate.
The removal of LIBOR as an appropriate benchmark inte rest rate is effective for reporting periods ending after December 31, 2021. All other requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2021.
The GASB issued Statement No. 94 “Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements.” The primary objective of this Statem ent is to improve financial reporting by addressing issues related to public -private and public-public partnership arrangements (PPPs). As used in this Statement, a PPP is an arrangement in which a government (the transferor) contracts with an operator (a governmental or nongovernmental entity) to provide public services by conveying control of the right to operate or use a nonfinancial asset, such as infrastructure or other capital asset (the underlying PPP asset), for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Some PPPs meet the definition of a service concession arrangement (SCA), which the Board defines in this Statement as a PPP in which (1) the operator collects and is compensated by fees from third parties; (2) the transferor determines or has the ability to modify or approve which services the operator is required to provide, to whom the operator is required to provide the services, and the prices or rates that can be charged for the services; and (3) the transferor is entitled to significant residual interest in the service utility of the underlying PPP asset at the end of the arrangement. Application of Statement No. 94 is effective for Fiscal Years beginning after June 15, 2022, and all reporting periods thereafter.

The GASB issued Statement No. 96 “Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements.” This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments). This Statement (1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes that a SBITA results in a right-to-use subscription asset—an intangible asset—and a corresponding subscription liability ; (3) provides the capitalization criteria for outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation cost s of a SBITA; and (4) requires note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant, the standards for SBITAs are based on the standards established in Statement No. 87, Leases, as ame nded. A SBITA is defined as a cont ract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a SBITA vendor’s) in formation technology (IT) software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Application of Statement No. 96 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022, and all reporting periods thereafter.
The GASB issued Statement No. 97 “Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans—an amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 84, and a supersession of GASB Statement No. 32.” The primary objectives of this Statement are to (1) increase consistency and comparability related to the reporting of fiduciary component units in circumstances in which a potential component unit does not have a governing board and the primary government performs the duties that a governing board typical ly would perform; (2) mitigate costs associated with the reporting of cer tain defined contribution pension plans, defined contribution other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans, and employee benefit plans other than pension plans or OPEB plans (other employee benefit plans) as fiduciary component units in fiduciary fund financial statements; and (3) enhance the rele vance, consistency, and comparability of the accounting and financial reporting for Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 45 7 deferred compensation plans (Section 457 plans) that meet the definition of a pension plan and for benefits provided through those plans. Certain provisions of the Statement are effective upon issu ance in June 2020, but did not have a material effect on the City’s financial statements and application of the remaini ng provisions of Statement No. 97 are effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2021.
Note 2 – Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments
The City’s dependence upon property tax receipts, which are received semi-annually, requires it to maintain significant cash reserves to finance operations during the remainder of the year. The City pools cash from all sources and all funds except cash with fiscal agen ts and the Alameda Municipal Power Fund so that it can be invested at the maximum yiel d, consistent with safety and li quidity. Individual funds can make expenditures at any time.
Investment income is allocated among funds on the basis of average month end cash and investment balances in these funds. Investments are carried at fair value.
A. Policies
California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities with a fair value of 110% of the City’s cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a market value of 150% of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California law, this collatera l is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the City’s name and places the City ahead of general creditors of the institution.

Note 2 – Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments (Continued)
The City and its fiscal agents invest in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual investments are evidenced by specific identifiable se curities instruments, or by an electronic entry registering the owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system.

The City’s investments are carried at fair value, as required by genera lly accepted accounting principles.
The City adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year.

On March 22, 2017, the City Council adopted resolution 15253 approvi ng the adoption of an amendment to the Public Agencies Post-Employment Trust admi nistered by Public Agen cy Retirement Services (PARS) to establish a pension trust. The Trust is an irrevocable trust and qualifies as an Internal Revenue Section 115 trust. Investments of funds held in Trust are governed by the Investment Guideline Document for the investment account and by the agreement for administrative serv ices with PARS, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy. This trust will assist the City in mitigating the CalPERS contribution rate volatility. The City elected a discretionary investment approach, which allows the City to maintain oversight of the investment management, control on target yield and the portfolio’s risk tolerance, under the Balanced Index PLUS investment option. This pension trust is a secondary trust to the City’s CalPERS Pension Plan; therefore, the assets are reported in the City’s Pension Stabilization Internal Service Fund. The assets in the Trust will eventually be used to fund pension plan obligations.

Note 2 – Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments (Continued) G. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in economic markets that 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 the changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City 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 realizing maturity evenly over time as necessary in order to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed fo r operations. Information on the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investme nts (including investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity at June 30, 2021:

The City and Alameda Municipal Powe r are participants in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is regulated by California Government Code S ection 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The City and Alameda Municipal Power report their investments in LAIF at the fair value amounts provided by LAIF, which is the same as the value of the pool share. At June 30, 2021, the fair value approximated cost of the investments of the City and Alameda Municipal Power. The balance, available for withdrawal on demand, is based on the accounting records mainta ined by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. Each regular LAIF account is permitted to have up to 15 transactions per month, with a minimum transaction amount of $5
,000, a maximum transaction amount of $75 million
and at least 24 hours advance notice for withdrawals of $10 million or more. Bo nd proceeds accounts are subject to a one-time deposit with no cap and are set up with a monthly draw down schedule. Included in LAIF’s investment portfolio are collateralized mort gage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, and floating rate securities issued by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, United States Treasury Notes and Bills, and corporations. At June 30, 2021, these investments had an average maturity of 291 days. 64 City of Alameda

I. Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of th e 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. As previously described, the City’s deposits are collateralized in accordance with California Government Code. 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 recove r the value of its investment or co llateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Governme nt Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments. 65 City of Alameda

J. Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurements with in the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 – Investments whose values are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets that a government can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Investments whose values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Investments whose values are based on un observable inputs for an asset and may require a degree of professional judgment.
The asset’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The determ ination of what constitutes observable requires judgment by the City’s management. City management considers observable data to be that market data, which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable, and veri fiable, not proprietary, and provided by multiple independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of the inputs to its fair value measurement and does not necessar ily correspond to City management’s perceived risk of that investment.
Deposits and withdrawals in governmental investment po ols, such as LAIF are made on the basis of $1 and not fair value. Accordingly, the City’s propor tionate share in these types of investments is an uncategorized input not defined as a Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 input.
The following is a description of the valuation methods and assumptions used by the City to estimate the fair value of its investments. There have been no changes in the methods and assumptions used at June 30, 2021. The methods described may produce a fair value calculation th at may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of fu ture fair values. City management believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market par ticipants. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Note 2 – Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments (Continued)
When available, quoted prices are used to determine fair value. When quoted prices in active markets are available, investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
For investments classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the City’s custodians generally use a multi-dimensional relational model. Inputs to their pricing models are based on observable market inputs in active markets. The inputs to the pricing models are typically benchmark yields, reported trades, broker- dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities, among others.
As of June 30, 2021, the City has the following recurring fair value measurements:

Note 6 – Long-Term Debt (Continued)
C. Description of the City’s Long-Term Debt Issues
The balance of the City’s debt is in various forms as follows:
Governmental Activities Debt
Certificates of Participation – Some of the City’s obligations are in the form of long-term leases between the City and the Alameda Public Financing Authority. Under these arrangements, the City enters into a legal agreement with the Authority to lease a specified City property to the Authority for an up-front, lump- sum lease payment. The City uses the lease proceeds to fund major capital improvements. The City furthermore continues to make use of the leased facility, and in return for that, agrees to pay the Authority regular lease payments. The Authority, in turn, sells sh ares of the City’s lease payments to investors. The shares are called Certificates of Participation, or COPs. The City’s lease payments are made to the certificate holders through the Trustee over the term of the agreement. The cost of the assets securing these leases and the balance of the debt evidenced by these Certificates of Participation have been included in the City’s financial statements, as these leases are in essence financing arrangements with ownership of the financed assets reverting to the City at the conclusion of the lease term.
2008 Refinancing Project Certificates of Participation – In July 2008, the City Council entered into a lease agreement with the Alameda Public Financing Authority for the Police Administration Building. The Authority issued Certificates of Participation to investors (in the amou nt of $4,575,000) to refinance and defease the 1996 Police Building and the 1996 Li brary and Golf Course Upgrade and Renovation Certificates of Participation. The 2008 Certificates ar e collateralized by the leased Police Administration Building over the term of the lease; the City may substitute alternative sites/facilities as collateral at its option over the same time period. The certificates bear interest rates from 4% to 5%, which are payable semi-annually in May and November. The City’s principal payments commenced on May 1, 2011.
The City is obligated to make the necessary annual appropriations within its budget for all lease payments owed under the lease agreement. In the event of default on the paymen ts, the City is obligated to take certain actions or consent to certain actions of a fina ncial nature as more fully described in the lease and related documents contained at the EMMA-MSRB website , but the trustee has no right to accelerate the lease payments.
2013 Financing Project Certificates of Participation – On September 17, 2013, the City of Alameda Financing Authority authorized the issuance of the Certificates of Participation (2013 Refinancing Project) in the amount of $9,610,000 to repay the City of Alameda 2002 Certificates of Participation and to finance the costs of construction of a new City Emergency Operations Center and associated expenses. The 2013 Certificates are collateralized by the leased Alameda Ci ty Hall over the term of the lease; the City may substitute alternative sites/facilities as collateral at its option over the same time period. The 2013 Certificates bear interest from 3% to 4%, which is payable semi-annually in May and November. Principal payments are due annually and commenced on May 1, 2014.

Note 8 – Net Position and Fund Balances
Net Position is measured on the full accrual basis, while Fund Balance is measured on the modified accrual basis.
A. Net Position
Net Position is the excess of all the City’s assets and deferred outflows over all its liabilities and deferred inflows, regardless of fund. Net Position is divided into three captions. These captions apply only to Net Position, which is determined at proprietary fund and the Government-wide level, and are described below.
Net Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of Net Position which is represented by the current net book value of the City’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include developer fees received for use on capital projects, debt service requirements, and funds restricted for low and moderate housing purposes.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted to use.
B.
Fund Balances
Governmental fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net current assets generally represent a fund’s cash and receivables, less its liabilities.
The City’s fund balances are classified in accordance with spending constraints imposed on the use of resources. For programs with multiple funding source s, the City prioritizes and expends funds in the following order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Each category in the following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint:
Nonspendables represents balances set aside to indicate item s that do not represent available, spendable resources, even though they are a co mponent of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained intact, such as permanent funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids, notes receivable, and land held for redevelopment, are included. However, if proceeds realized from the sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed or assigned, then Nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions impo sed by creditors, granto rs, contributors, laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires th e resources to be used only for a specific purpose.
Encumbrances and nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable resources.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by form al action (through a resolution) of the City Council, which may be altered only by formal action of the City Council. Encumbrances and nonspendable amounts subject to council commitments are included along with spendable resources. 81 City of Alameda

Note 8 – Net Position and Fund Balances (Continued)
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Manager or its designee as authorized by an adopted City Council resolution and may be chan ged at the discretion of the City Council or its designee. This category includes encumbrances; Nonspendables, when it is the City’s intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific purpose, and residual fund balances, if any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds which have not been restricted or committed through a council resolution. The City Council has designated the City Manager or his designee to determine the amount of assigned fund balances.
Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned.

C. Fund Deficits
The Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund had deficit net position in the amount of $37,628,252 at June 30, 2021. Future revenues and repayment of long-term debt are expected to offset this deficit.
The Workers’ Compensation Insurance Internal Servic e Fund had deficit net position in the amount of $2,847,484 at June 30, 2021. The deficit arose from a change in the confidence level of claims liabilities and future charges for services are expected to offset this deficit.
D. Closure of the Other Post-Employment Benefits Plan Trust Funds and Restatement of Net Position
The City implemented the provisions of Governme ntal Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 84 – Fiduciary Activities during the year ended June 30, 2021. As a result, the City determined that the activities of the City of Alamed a Miscellaneous and Pre-1/1/2019 Safe ty OPEB Plan and the City of Alameda Post-1/1/2019 Safety OPEB Plan should no longer be reported in the respective Other Post- Employment Benefits Plan Trust Fund s, since the City does not have co ntrol of the assets of the PARS OPEB Plan as a whole. Therefore, the Other Post-E mployment Benefits Plan Trust Funds are no longer reported in the financial statements as of July 1, 2020.
GASB 84 also eliminated the agency fund type and established the custod ial fund type. As a result, the Assessment Districts Agency Fund is now reported as a custodial fund and beginning net position was restated and increased in the amount of $2,763,364.

Contributions – Section 20814(C) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1st following notice of a change in rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30th by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the co sts of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rates of employees. The employees pay a percentage of their salaries toward the C ity’s required contribution. Employees within the miscellaneous plan pay 1.868% of th e employer’s contribution and employees within the safety plan pay
6.000% of the employer’s contribution, which are re flected in the rates above. Total employer required contribution amounts during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 were $9,318,477 for the miscellaneous plan and $15,122,079 for the safety plan. In addition, the City made an additional contribution of $5 million toward the Safety Plan’s UAL.

Note 9 – Pension Plans (Continued)
Discount Rate- The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for each Plan was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate for each Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) will be made at the current member contributions rates and that contributions from empl oyers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, each Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members for all plans in PERF.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability for each Plan.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future r eal rates of return (expected return s, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, staff took into account both short-term and long term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund (Public Employees’ Retirement Fund) cash flows. Such cash flows were deve loped assuming that both member s and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) usin g a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the pres
ent value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long- term returns.
The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The table below reflects long-term expected real rates of return by asset class:

Subsequent Event - Reduction of CalPERS Discount Rate - In July 2021, CalPERS reported a preliminary
21.3% net return on investments fo r the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2021. Under the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy, approved by the CalPERS Boar d of Administration in 2015, the 21.3% net return will trigger a reduction in the discount rate used to calculate employer and Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) member contributions. The Funding Risk Mitigation Policy seeks to reduce CalPERS funding risk over time, in which CalPERS investment performance that significantly outperforms the discount rate will trigger adjustments to the disc ount rate, expected investment return, and strategic asset allocation targets. This is the first time it has been triggered. The discount rate, or assumed rate of return, will drop to 6.8%, from its current level of 7%.
Based on these preliminary fiscal year returns, the CalPERS has announced the funded status of the overall Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) is an estimated 82%. This estimate is based on a 7% discount rate. Under the new 6.8% discount rate, however, CalPERS indicated the funded status of the overall PERF drops to 80%., since existing assets are assumed to grow at a slightly slower rate annually into the future.
As intended under the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy, the lower discount rate increases the likelihood that CalPERS can reach its target over the longer term. The CalPERS Board of Administration will continue to review the discount rate through it s Asset Liability Management proces s during the rest of the calendar year.
CalPERS' final fiscal year 2021 investment perform ance will be calculated ba sed on audited figures and will be reflected in contribution levels for contracting cities, counties, and special districts in fiscal year 2024.

B. Police and Fire Pension Plans
The City sponsors and administers two single employer defined benefit retirement plans for certain police and fire department retirees. Police and fire employees who entered service before 1953 participate in Plan 1079, a closed plan consisting of 9 participants, all of whom are retired employees or beneficiaries.
Employees with twenty-five or more years of service receive monthly pension benefits equal to one-half the monthly salary paid to current City employees of the rank held by the retiree one year prior to the date of retirement. Employees retired after ten, but before twenty-five years of service receive monthly pension benefits in the proportion that the number of service years bears to twenty-five. Qualified surviving spouses receive the retirees’ monthly pension benefits for li fe. Upon remarriage, the qu alified surviving spouse receives one-half of the retiree’s monthly pension benefits. Employees who became disabled from service related causes receive monthly pension benefits equal to one half the monthly salary paid to current City employees of the rank held by the disabled employee on the date of their disability, reduced by any workers’ compensation benefits received.
Police and fire employees who entered service on or before January 1, 1953 and did not transfer to CalPERS participate in Plan 1082, a closed plan which consis ts of one retired employee. At June 30, 2021, the monthly pension benefit was $2,736, adjusted annu ally by a maximum of 2% per year cost-of-living adjustment. Upon the death of a re tiree, the qualified spouse receives one-half of the retiree’s monthly pension benefit for life or until remarriage.
Total Pension Liability – The City recognizes its total pension liability, rather than a net pension liability for each Plan. In order for the City to recognize a net pension liability, assets must be accumulated in a trust that meets all of the following criteria:
Contributions from the employer and any nonemployer contributing entities, and earnings thereon, must be irrevocable.
Plan assets must be dedicated to providing pensions to Plan members in accordance with the benefit terms.
Plan assets must be legally protected from the creditors of the employer, nonemployer contributing entities, the Plan administrator, and Plan members.
No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets all of the above criteria. Accordingly, the City’s total pension liability for each Plan is not reduced by any assets accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria and the City must report its total pension liability for each Plan.

C. Other Retirement Systems
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA) mandates that public sector employees who are not members of their employer’s exis ting retirement system as of Januar y 1, 1992, be covered by either Social Security or an alternative plan. Effective January 1, 1995, the City contracted with the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), to maintain a defined contribution plan. This Plan covers part-time, seasonal and temporary employees as well as all employees not covered by another retirement system. All eligible employees, covered by the Plan, are fully vested. Employer liabilities are limited to the amount of current contributions. The City is responsible for determining the provisions of the Plan, directing distributions, and establishing investment policy for the Plan assets.
Under PARS, employees contribute 6% and the City contributes 1.5% of the employee’s salary each pay period. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, total contributions of $213,053 were made based on a total amount of covered compensation of $2,840,707.
One of the City’s part-time employees elected to be covered under Soci al Security, which requires this employee and the City to each contribute 6.2% of th e employee’s pay. Total contributions to Social Security during the year ended June 30, 2021, amounted to $3,410, of which the City paid 50%.

City employees may defer a portion of their compen sation under four separate, optional City sponsored deferred compensation plans created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Under these Plans, participants are not taxed on the deferred por tion of their compensation until distributed to them; distributions may be made only at termination, retirement, death or in an emergency as defined by the Plans.
The City has Deferred Compensation Plan administra tion agreements with ICMA, California Public Employees Retirement System and Nationwide Retireme nt Solutions, Inc. comp anies to provide for the administration and management of employees’ deferre d compensation plan assets. These agreements incorporate changes in the laws and IRS regulations governing deferred compensation plan assets, which require plan assets to be held for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. Since the assets held under these plans are not the City’s property and are not subject to claims by general creditors of the City, they have been excluded from these financial statements.
Note 10 – Post-Employment Health Care Benefits
A. General Information about the City’s Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) Plans
Plan Description – The City provides medical and dental benefits to retirees through CalPERS as specified below under the City of Alameda Miscellaneous and Pre-1/1/2019 Safety OPEB Plan and the City of Alameda Post-1/1/2019 Safety OPEB Plan, agent multiple-employer defined benefit health care plans. The City is responsible for establishing and amending the funding policy of the Plans. The Plans do not issue financial statements. Separately issued financial statements of the benefit Plans are available from CALPERS at P.O. Box 942709, Sacramento California 94229-2709.
Prior to July 1, 2018, the City ha d one OPEB Plan, but active Safety employees as of January 1, 2019 transferred to the new Post-1/1/2019 Safety OPEB Plan.
The City established an irrevocable trust for each Plan with Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) to fund its retiree health benefits. On March 1, 2014, the City adopted the Public Agencies Post-Employment Benefits Trust (PARS) to prefund other post-employm ent benefits (OPEB). The Trust is an irrevocable trust and qualifies as an Internal Revenue Section 115 trust. Investments of funds held in Trust are governed by the Investment Guideline Document for the investment account and by the agreement for administrative services with PARS, rather than the general provision s of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy. The City elected a discretionary investment approach, which allows the City to maintain oversight of the investment manageme nt, control on target yield and the portfolio’s risk tolerance, under the Moderate Index PLUS and Balanced Index PLUS in vestment options. Contributions to the trusts are made annually according to the City’s OPEB funding policy.
The City is the Plan administrator, while PARS administers the investment trusts. The City’s OPEB Plans do not issue separate financial statements. PARS issues a separate annual financial report and copies of the report may be obtained by writing to PARS at 4350 Von Karman Ave., Suite 100, Newport Beach, CA 92660.

The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB pl an investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected futu re real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Note 10 – Post-Employment Health Care Benefits (Continued) Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 3.09% for the Miscellaneous and Pre-1/1/2019 Safety Plan and 3.25% for the Post-1/1/2019 Safety Plan, based on a blended rate of asset expected rates of return using the average of three 20 year municipal bond rate indices: S&P Municipal Bond 20 Year High Grade Rate Index, Bond Buyer GO 20-Bond Municipal Bond Index, and Fidelity 20 Year GO Municipal Bond Index. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actu arially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be availa ble to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and benefici aries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions – The assumptions for both Plans changed from the measurement date June 30, 2020 to the measurement date June 30, 2021 as follows:
The discount rate was updated to reflect the results of the crossover test – o Miscellaneous and Pre-1/1/2019 Safety Plan decreased from 3.64% to 3.09% o Post-1/1/2019 Safety Plan decreased from 3.47% to 3.25% Medical trend rates were decreased to an initial trend rate of 6.5% trending down to 5.0% C.

A. General
AMP participates in joint ventures through Joint Powers Authorities (J PAs) established under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of California. As separate legal entities, these JPAs exercise full powers and authorities within the scope of the related Joint Powers Agreement, including the preparation of annual budgets, accountability for all funds, the power to ma ke and execute contracts and the right to sue and be sued. Obligations and liabilities of the JPAs are not those of AMP and the other participating entities unless assumed by them.
Each JPA is governed by a board consisting of re presentatives from each memb er agency. Each board controls the operations of its respective JPA, including selection of management and approval of oper ating
budgets, independent of any influence by member agencies beyond their representation on the board.
AMP is a member of NCPA, a joint powers agency which operates under a joint powers agreement among 15 public agencies (AMP, BART, Biggs, Gridley, Heal dsburg, Lompoc, Palo Alto, Ukiah, Lodi, Port of Oakland, Redding, Roseville, Shasta Lake, Sili con Valley Power, Truckee-Donner PUD). Turlock Irrigation District withdrew from NCPA on April 1, 2011. The City of Shasta Lake was added as a new m e m b e r i n 2 0 1 6 .

Each agency member has agreed to fund a pro rata share of certain assessments by NCPA and certain members have entered into take -or-pay power supply contracts with NCPA. While NCPA is governed by its members, none of its obligations are tho se of its members unless expressly assumed by them.
Amounts paid by AMP, net of refunds, to NCPA during the fiscal years ending June 30, 2021 and 2020 for purchased power were $30,296,114 and $32,246,283, respectively. Ad ditionally, purchased power was reduced by a refund of $538,732 and $310,155 fo r power exchange distribution and budget settlement monies returned to the NCPA General Operating Reserve (GOR), for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
AMP receives no income from NCPA, and does not partic ipate in all of its projects. Further, NCPA does not measure or determine AMP’s equity in NCPA as a whole. NCPA reports only AMP’s share of its General Operating Reserve, comprised of cash and investments, and AMP’s share of those projects in which AMP is a participant.

Members of NCPA may participate in an individual project of NCPA without obligation for any other project. Member assessments collected for one project may not be used to finance other projects of NCPA without the member’s permission.
B. Projects in which Alameda Municipal Power is a Participant Geothermal Projects - A power purchase agreement with NCPA obligates AMP for 18.31469 percent of the debt service and the operating costs for two geothermal steam powered generating plants, Plant Number 1 and Plant Number 2, located in the Geysers area in Northern Califo rnia. In conjunction with these payments, AMP is entitled to receive 16.8825 percent of the output from these facilities. NCPA continues to pursue alternatives for improving and exte nding steam field reservoi r performance, including supplemental water reinjection, plant equipment modi fications, and changes in operating methodology.
NCPA has increased steam production in the vicinity of reinjection wells and ha s evaluated a number of alternatives to increase water reinjection at strategic locations.
Calaveras Hydroelectric Project - NCPA contracted to finance, manage, construct, and operate Hydroelectric Project Number One for the licensed owne r, Calaveras County Water District. In exchange, NCPA has the right to the electric output of the project for 50 years starting in February 1982 and also has an option to purchase power from the project in excess of the District’s requirements for the subsequent 50 years, subject to regulatory approval. Debt service pa yments to NCPA began in February 1990 when the project was declared substantially complete and power was delivered to the participants. AMP is entitled to receive 10.0 percent of output from facility. The debt obligation in creased to 11.582 percent as other members have opted out and a reallocation was done for the remaining members. 105

Combustion Turbine Project No. 1 - In October 1984, NCPA financed a five‐unit, l25‐megawatt combustion turbine project. The project, built in three member cities including Alameda, began full commercial operation in June 1986 and provides reserve and peaking power. During August 2010, phase two of the first amendment to the NCPA power purchase agreement finalized th e transfer of ownership of two NCPA electricity generating units to the City of Roseville due to a misalignment of ISO control areas. The transfer reduced the generation output of the project to 74 MW, and increased the entitlement share to 21.82 percent. Although AMP’s project percentage share increases, its resulting generating capacity entitlement remains constant at
16.05 MW.
Combustion Turbine Project No. 2 (Steam Injected Gas Turbine Project) - AMP is a participant in NCPA’s 49.8 megawatt Steam Injected Gas Turbine (STIG) project which was built under turnkey contract near the City of Lodi an d declared substantially complete on Apri l 23, 1996. In 2010, the NCPA issued 2010 Refunding Series A Bonds for $5 5,120,000 for the purpose of provid ing funds to refund all of the Refunded 1999 Bonds, to fund a deposit to the 2010 Series debt service reserve account and to pay cost of issuance of the 2010 Series A Bonds. Under the NC PA power purchase agreement, AMP is obligated to pay 19 percent of the debt service for the STIG project.
On December 20, 2019, NCPA issued Capital Facilities Revenue Bonds, 2019 Refunding Series A, in the amount of $20,450,000 with an average interest rate of 5.0% to refund $25,450,000 of outstanding Capital Facilities Revenue Bonds, 2010 Refundi ng Series A with an average in terest rate of 5.1249%. The net proceeds were used to purchase US government securities. Those securities were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. As a result, the old bonds are considered defeased. The outstanding 2010 Series A Bonds were called for redemption on February 1, 2020.
On April 2, 2019, NCPA issued Hydroelectric Project Number One Revenue Bonds, 2019 Refunding Series A, in the amount of $39,250 ,000 with an average interest rate of 4.9126% to refund $52,845,000 of outstanding Hydroelectric Project Number One Revenue Bonds, 2010 Refunding Series A with an average interest rate of 4.9003%. The net proceeds were used to purchase US government securities. Those securities were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. As a result, the old bonds are considered defeased.
AMP’s participation in procurement of natural gas for fuel for existing and new combustion turbine units was approved in 1993. Although there is currently no additional debt financ ing, AMP and NCPA have committed to long-term payments for gas transmission pipeline capacity, and entered a purchase contract for natural gas. AMP is obligated to pay 19 percent.
NCPA’s notes from direct placement contain provisions that in an event of default, outstanding amounts become immediately due if (1) NCPA is unable to pay the principal or inte rest when due, (2) files bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, or (3) S&P issues a downgrade below “BBB‐“.
NCPA outstanding revenue bonds contai n provisions that in the event of a participant default, the project entitlement percentage of each non‐defaulting project participant will incr ease on a prorated basis up to a maximum of 25% for Hydroelectric, Geothermal and Capital Faciliti es projects and 35% for the Lodi Energy Center project. AMP does not participate in the Lodi Energy Center project but would be obligated under the other projects.

Defeased Debt - Various bond refundings were undertaken to defease debt an d realize future debt service savings. Debt was defeased by using the proceeds of th e refunding issues and other available monies to irrevocably place in trust cash and US Gov’t securities, which together with interest earned thereon, will be sufficient to pay both the interest and the appropriate maturity or redemption value of the refunded bonds as required.
Graeagle Hydroelectric Project - AMP’s participation in this small hydroelectric project was approved in 1993. Although this project does not involve any financing, it do es involve a long-term contractual commitment to purchase the power produced by the project. AMP receives 100 percent of the power output from this small 440 kilowatt hydroelectric project.
Western Area Power Administration - AMP has an allocation of power from the Federal Central Valley Project generating resources contract ed through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Western Area Power Administration. This allocation has been temporarily assigned to NCPA for scheduling and delivery to AMP. AMP pays 1.08075 percent of the base resource co sts and receives that same amount of the base resource, power generated in one federal fiscal year.

Other Power Purchase Agreements - AMP has also entered into a number of other power purchase agreements which are scheduled by or through NCPA.
Highwinds Project Power Purchase
In December 2004, AMP entered into a long-term power purch ase agreement with PPM Energy, Inc. for power supplied by the Highwinds Project in Solano County, California. In 2008, Iberdrola Renewables succeeded PPM Energy as the seller c ounterparty for this powe r purchase agreement.
AMP receives 6.17 percent of the output of th e 162 megawatt project (nameplate rating) – 10 megawatts – as delivered through June 30, 2028.
Landfill Gas Projects Power Purchase
Since 2004, AMP has entered into four long-ter m power purchase agreem ents for power supplied by multiple generating facilities. These facilitie s utilize combustible gaseous emissions from landfills, located in or near the San Francisco Bay area to create power. AMP began receiving nearly
3.45 megawatts of base-load power from each of the first two facilities in 2004 and early 2006. An additional 5.2 megawatts of base-load output was added to AMP’s portfolio in April 2009 when the Ox Mountain facility commenced operation. An additional 1.9 megawatts of power was added to AMP’s portfolio as the Keller Canyon facility commenced base-load operation in August 2009. The final landfill facility, Butte, commenced operation at the end of 2012.
Silicon Valley Power Renewable Power Purchase - Since 2018, AMP has entered into a long‐term power purchase agreement with Silicon Valley Power for winter only, renewable pow er. Silicon Valley Power supplies AMP with 10MW of baseload renewable energy production from various renewable energy generators for the months of October through February.
California Electric Industry Restructuring - In September 1996, the Califor nia State legislature signed into law Assembly Bill 1890 (AB 1890) deregulating the electric power supply market and restructuring the electric power industry in California. While the ma jority of the legislation was directed at investor- owned utilities (IOUs), AMP and other California pub licly owned utilities were greatly affected by the restructuring of markets and the ensu ing wild fluctuations in prices th at resulted from a deficiency in generating capacity and an immature and flawed mark et structure. Because AMP has its own generating resources and is not heavily dependent on the wholesale market to purchase power, it was not significantly impacted by these price swings.
In April 2008, the California Inde pendent System Operator (CAISO) launched a new wholesale market structure in the state which is referred to as the Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU). While MRTU features a day-ahead energy ma rket with a nodal locational marginal price calculation, both load and resources are currently priced as aggregated pr icing. The MRTU initiative has introduced new risks and uncertainties for AMP because the Federal En ergy Regulatory Commissi on (FERC) continues requiring CAISO to implement a disaggregated market that will negatively affect AMP because it is in a transmission constrained location. To establish the extent of the risk and identify its impact to rates, AMP continues to monitor changes that CAISO makes to its market structure and operations.

Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC)
AMP is a member of a joint powers agreement with fi fteen other entities in TANC. TANC’s purpose is to provide electrical transmission or other facilities for the use of its members. While governed by its members, none of TANC’s obligations are those of its members unless expressly assumed by them. The California- Oregon Transmission Project (COTP) is one of thre e high voltage transmission lines connecting Oregon
and California. The 500 kV line is able to transm it 1,600 MW’s of electricity. The COTP participants include the Transmission Agency of Northern Califor nia, Western, PG&E, City of Redding, Carmichael Water District, and the San Juan Water District. Cu rrently, the COTP provides a transmission path for resources that is outside of the CAISO balancing authority. According to the 1985 Project Agreement with TANC for the development of the COTP and subsequent related project agreements, AMP is obligated to pay its share of the project’s costs, including debt service and is entitled to the use of a percentage of the project’s transmission or transfer capacity.
AMP’s entitlement share on COTP is 1.2274 percent and AMP is obligated to pay 1.33 percent of the project’s operating costs.
AMP is obligated to pay 1.33 pe rcent of TANC’s debt-service related to the California - Oregon Transmission Project (COTP). AMP’s share on the 20 09 Series A bonds is 1.449 6 percent. AMP is not obligated for any portion of the 2009 Series B bonds.
These obligations provide AMP with a COTP transfer capability of 17.05 MW. AMP is also obligated to pay for a portion of the debt associated with the S outh of Tesla transmission which is provided under an agreement between TANC and Pacific Gas & Electric Company.
In May 2009, TANC issued $67.0 million of tax-exempt 2009 Series A bonds and $61.8 million of taxable 2009 Series B bonds. The proceeds of the Series A bonds were used to retire a bank loan that refinanced $30.3 million of TANC’s tax-exempt commercial paper and also to refund $34.7 million of TANC’s 2003 Series C Auction Rate Securities. Th e proceeds of the Series B bonds were used to retire a bank loan that refinanced $56.3 million of TANC’s taxable commercial paper. The 2009 refunding increased future aggregate debt service payments by $19.3 million, but resulted in a total economic gain of $6.5 million, the difference between present value of the old and new debt service payments. TANC has issued Revenue Bonds for $435,790,000 and eliminated its obligations for the Tax Exempt Commercial Paper notes. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, AMP’s share of this debt is $0 and $0, respectively. 109

As of July 1, 2014, AMP and other NCPA member s executed a multiparty Long-Term Layoff Agreement (the Agreement) that laid off their participating percentage share of the COTP to other TANC participants namely the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, th e Turlock Irrigation District, and Modesto Irrigation District, for twenty-five (25) years with the option to extend for an additional five years upon all parties approval. During the layoff period AMP and other NCPA members will not pay any debt service or operating costs. During the term of the Agreement, AM P would relinquish its voting rights on all short- term decisions and actions at TANC related to the COTP.
In 2016, TANC issued $173.9 milli on of tax-exempt 2016 Series A Revenue Refunding Bonds. The proceeds of the bonds were used to refund the cer tain outstanding bonds issued by TANC to finance or refinance a portion of the costs of the California – Oregon Transmission Project, fund the costs of terminating in full certain interest rate swap agreements relating to the variable rate Refunded Bonds, and fund a debt service reserve account for the 2016A bonds, and pay costs of the issuance of the 2016A Bonds.
The 2016 Series A “small member” debt portion is $2 ,517,565. AMP is obligated to pay $52,970, or
2.104% of that debt.

C. COVID-19 Global Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (SARS-COV- 2) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has caused business disr uption through mandated and voluntary closings of businesses and shelter in place orders for all but tho se deemed essential services. While the business disruption was expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration of the closings and shelter in place orders. Although many of the City’s services are considered essential, City Hall was closed to the public, certain other services transitioned to online-only and because the City’s major revenue sources, including businesses that collect sales taxes and transi ent occupancy taxes, are directly impacted by these events, it is probable that this ma tter will negatively impact the City. However, the ultimate financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Note 14 – Redevelopment Agency Dissolution and Successor Agency Activities A. Redevelopment Dissolution
In an effort to balance its budget, the State of California adopted ABx1 26 on June 28, 2011, amended by AB1484 on June 27, 2012, which suspended all new re development activities except for limited specified activities as of that date and dissolved redevelopment agencies on January 31, 2012.
The suspension provisions prohibited all redevelopment agencies from a wide range of activities, including incurring new indebtedness or obligati ons, entering into or modifying agreements or contracts, acquiring or disposing of re
al property, taking actions to adopt or amend redevelopment plans and other similar actions, except action required by law or to carry out existing enforceable obligations, as defined in ABx1
26. In addition, ABx1 26 and AB1484 direct the State Cont roller to review the activities of all redevelopment agencies and successor agencies to determine whether an asset transfer between the agency and any public agency occurred on or after Januar y 1, 2011. If an asset transfer did occur and the public agency that received the asset is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of the asset, the legislation purports to require the State Controller to order the asset returned to the redevelopment agency.
Effective January 31, 2012 the Community Improvement Commission (CIC) was dissolved. Certain assets of the CIC Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund were distributed to a Housing Successor; and all remaining CIC assets and liabilities were distributed to a Successor Agency.
The City elected to become the Successor Agency an d on February 1, 2012 the CIC’s remaining assets were distributed to and liabilities were assumed by the Successor Agency. ABx1 26 requires the establishment of an Oversight Board to oversee th e activities of the Success or Agency and one was established. The activities of the Successor Agency were subject to revi ew and approval of the Oversight Board, which was comprised of seven members, including the City Manager and one former CIC employee appointed by the Mayor. On July 1, 2018, the duties of the Alameda Oversight Board transferred to a new Alameda County-wide Consolidated Oversight Board, which will now be responsible for overseeing the wind down of affairs of all Successor Agencies in Alameda County, including the Successor Agency to the CIC.

With the dissolution of the CIC disc ussed above, tax increment is no lo nger distributed, and instead the Successor Agency receives payments from the County’s Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) that are to be used to fund debt service on the Bonds, with no distinction between housing and non-housing revenues. In addition, under the provisions of th e laws dissolving the CIC, the Successor Agency only receives the funds necessary to fulfill its approved ob ligations. Total property taxes received by the Successor Agency in the current fiscal year were $12,438,992 which re presented coverage of 2.78 times the $4,466,516 of debt service.

Internal Service Funds
Internal Service Funds are used to finance and account for special activities and services performed by a designated department for other departments in the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
The concept of major funds does not extend to internal service funds because they do not do business with outside parties. Generally accepted accounting principles require that for the Statement of Ac tivities, the net revenues or expenses of each internal service fund be eliminated by netting them agains t the operations of the other City departments which generated them. The remaining balance sheet items are consolidated with these same funds in the Statement of Net Position. However, internal service funds are still presented sepa rately in the Fund financial statements, including the funds below:
Vehicle and Equipment Replacement
This fund accumulates funds for the replacement of worn and obsolete vehicles and equipment.
Central Services
This fund accounts for the City’s central services oper ations, reimbursed through charges assessed to other City departments.
Fleet Maintenance
This fund accounts for the maintenance of vehicles used by all City departments. Reimbursements occur through charges assessed to other City departments.
Technology Services
This fund accounts for information technology. Reimbursements occur through administrative charges assessed to other departments based upon their proportional share of program costs.
Facilities Replacement and Maintenance
This fund accumulates funds for the costs associated with the replacement and maintenance of the City’s facilities.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
