INTRODUCTION
This City Treasurer’s Report for the month ended July 31, 2022 includes a summary of cash receipts and disbursements as well as a summary of fund balances.
DISCUSSION
In July 2022, the City’s cash receipts and cash disbursements respectively were approximately $32.3 million and $69.1 million. The reporting period is the twenty-ninth since the COVID-19 pandemic emergency declaration, during which the City has seen a marked decline in cash receipts. The July 2022 cash disbursements include $23.2 million of Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) payment to CalPERS, $12.1 million of OPEB and Pension contributions to Sec 115 Trust, $3.2 million payment to Skidata, and $1 million payment to Alliant Insurance.
The City organizes its resources into the following main fund categories: General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Internal Service Funds, Infrastructure Funds, Permanent Funds, Fiduciary Funds, and Enterprise Funds. Within each of these fund categories are multiple funds that relate to one or more City departments, and attached is a summary of these fund balances.
Adequate liquidity exists within the portfolio to meet all known City requirements through at least March 31, 2023, with $63.8 million invested in LAIF and CalTrust as of July 31, 2022. We believe the City will have adequate liquidity to meet all requirements for the foreseeable future.

SUMMARY OF FUND BALANCES FOR THE MONTH ENDED
July 31, 2022
(REPORT RUN August 25, 2022)
1 Fund 068: GASB 68 & 75 Government Pension OPEB Fund: This fund will always have a debit fund balance because the fund hosts long term liabilities and some associated deferred outflows. 2 Fund 097: Long Term Debt Fund: This fund will always have a debit fund balance because the fund hosts long term liabilities and some associated deferred outflows.
3 Fund 315: Miscellaneous Grants Fund (Non-Safety): A negative fund balance is created when funds are spent and until grant reimbursement is received.
4 Fund 440: Employee Benefits Fund: 2010 ARMP related bond issuance where the liabilities are recorded at face value at inception but debt service funding is planned in an as-you-go basis. 5 Fund 441: Compensated Absences Liability Fund: This fund is hosting the reserves for compensated absences and these reserves are not fully funded, thus the negative fund balance. 6 Fund 450: Liability Claims Res Fund: The negative fund balance results from the fact that liabilities are surpassing assets since the rise in claims liability exceeds the increase in ISF revenues credited to the fund. 7 Fund 460: Workers’ Compensation Fund: The negative fund balance results from the fact that the rise in claims liability exceeds the increase in ISF charges credited to the fund. 8 Fund 852: Stormwater – CA DWR – Prop 1 Fund: The negative fund balance is created when funds are spent and until grant reimbursement is received.
