Agenda Memo
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kevin Kearney, City Manager
DATE: December 16, 2025
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE CITY MANAGER TO TEACH AT THE

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council provide consent to the City Manager to teach an online course at the University of Southern California.

DISCUSSION
'Section 1. Duties' of the City Manager's contract states:
....Employee agrees to devote Employee's full time and effort to the performance of this Agreement and to remain in the exclusive employ of City and not to become otherwise employed while this Agreement is in effect without the prior written approval of the City Council.

The University of Southern California has invited Dr. Kearney to teach a course this spring in their Masters of Public Administration program. The term begins on January 7, 2026 and ends on April 26, 2026. This is an online evening course, so it wouldn't conflict with any City events and meetings. Teaching the evening course will not detract from any commitments at Bradbury and would allow for the establishment of a relationship with the University. Such a relationship could assist with future recruitment for staffing vacancies.

Energy for What's Ahead* EDISON

COVERED CONDUCTOR (CC)
• From Wildfire Mitigation Plan (2026-2028): "Wildfire Covered Conductor Program (WCCP) is a program to replace existing bare wire with covered conductor (CC) along with other associated components such as fire- resistant poles, composite crossarms, FR3 transformers, wildlife covers, surge arresters, polymer insulators and vibration dampers" • Covered Conductor helps increase the de-energization threshold, which reduces the likelihood of public safety power shutoff (PSPS) and duration
• Covered Conductor improves reliability compared to bare overhead wire

COVERED CONDUCTOR WORK & IMPACTS
• 6,800+ miles of covered conductor, covering about 70% of SCE's overhead distribution lines in high fire risk
areas
• Covered conductor estimated to be about 70% effective when compared to bare conductor
• Areas with covered conductor averaged 82% fewer
animal contact and 94% fewer balloon contact faults
per mile compared to bare wire in 2024
• How Covered Conductor Lines Help Reduce Wildfire Risk Data as of 9/30/2025
Targeted Undergrounding
Energy for What's Ahead™ EDISON

TARGETED UNDERGROUNDING (TUG)
• From Wildfire Mitigation Plan (2026-2028): "TUG is a program to underground existing overhead power lines to significantly reduce wildfire and PSPS risk by reducing the possibility for objects to contact energized conductor as well as greatly limiting the ignition-causing potential from equipment failures"
• Undergrounding reduces need for public safety power shutoff (PSPS) during extreme wind events
• Covered Conductor improves wind tolerance but does not fully prevent de-energization like undergrounding
• Certain locations may not be feasible for undergrounding (e.g. rocky and coastal terrains)
11 TARGETED UNDERGROUNDING WORK & IMPACTS
• Completed 53 miles of undergrounding in targeted high fire risk areas based on risk criteria and feasibility since 2021
• Ramping up scope in high fire area with plans to execute undergrounding for established scope in the January 2025 burn scar areas
• About 7,400 miles, or about 44% of primary distribution lines in high fire risk areas, already underground
• Exploring alternatives, such as ground level distribution system and at grade duct bank, for quicker deployment and reduced environmental impact and costs

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Annual Financial Audit Report ATTACHMENT: 1) Independent Auditors' Reports and Basic Financial Statements 2) Independent Accountants Report on Apply Agreed-Upon Procedures to Appropriations Limit Schedule

SUMMARY
As required by local and State law, the City of Bradbury must complete an annual audit of its financial activities. The Pun Group has completed its independent audit of the City's general-purpose financial statements for fiscal year 2023-24, and the City Treasurer has been sent the report. The City's Auditors and Finance Director will be in attendance to answer any questions.

It is recommended the City Council receive and file the Independent Auditors' Reports and Basic Financial Statements, and Independent Accountants Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures to Appropriations Limit Schedule as presented.

ANALYSIS
The Pun Group Accountants & Advisors have prepared the annual independent auditor's report and general-purpose financial statement for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. The work was completed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

It was determined that the statements present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the City of Bradbury and that they are in conformity with the generally FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA 12|14 25 AGENDA ITEM # 5
FY 23-24 Audit Report

accepted accounting principles. With regard to internal controls over financial reporting, the independent auditors had findings from three (3) issues, which are summarized below with Staff's summarized responses:
1) Unbalanced Trial Balance. Staff first identified and disclosed to the auditors an isolated, first-time occurrence of a software/system malfunction, which the software company recognized as their issue. Because the Finance Director is in a limited-part time basis, the resolution with the software company took some time to resolve.
2) Capital Assets Schedule was not accurate. Staff recognized the auditor's corrections to the schedule and feels the adjustments reflect a preferred presentation under the applicable standards. Staff accepted the recommendations and promptly recorded them.
3) Closing Process & Timing. The auditors state the process and timing took a while duet to the factors listed above. However, Staff's opinion is that the process simply took time because the Finance Director serves in a limited-part time basis. Back and forth requests or follow up inquiries sometimes result in a two-to-week turnaround since the Finance Director is only in the office once a week.

Additionally, Staff feels that the auditor's template language in the report is overexuberant, especially when they discuss how future systematic issues could lead to material weaknesses of internal control or fraud. When in reality, it's Staff's opinion that the City's robust financial system is able to be closely managed and inspected by City Staff, City Council, and the City Treasurer through bank reconciliations, income/expense statements, investment reports, signing/approval authorities, etc.

These management and closely scrutinized procedures make the risk of material misstatements minimal, and the possibility of fraud is effectively mitigated. Staff continues to maintain these tight controls to ensure integrity and accuracy of the City's financial reporting.

The City Council's approval and acceptance of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 audited financial report is needed to remain in compliance with local, State and Federal law.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
There is no financial impact in accepting this report.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council receive and file the Independent Auditors' Reports and Basic Financial Statements, and Independent Accountants Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures to Appropriations Limit Schedule as presented.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Bradbury
Bradbury, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bradbury, California (the "City"), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

ORANGE COUNTY • SAN DIEGO • SACRAMENTO • WALNUT CREEK • LAS VEGAS • PHOENIX To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Bradbury
Bradbury, California

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we
• exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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, no such opinion is expressed evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Budgetary Comparison Schedules, the Schedules of the City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liabilities and Related Ratios, and the Schedule of the City's Contributions - Pensions be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the Required Supplementary Information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
2 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Bradbury
Bradbury, California

Management has omitted the Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America required to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.

Supplementary 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 Combining and Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the 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. In our opinion, the Combining and Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements are fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 27, 2025, 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 solely 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 part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
Note 1 - Reporting Entity
The City of Bradbury, California (the "City"), was incorporated on July 26, 1957. The City provides a broad range of services to its citizens, including general government, public safety, streets, sanitation, and parks and recreation.

Many of the municipal governmental functions of the City are provided by special districts. Examples of some of these special districts, which usually encompass areas larger than the City itself, are the Fire Protection District, the Library District, the Sewer Maintenance District and the County Flood Control District. Certain other governmental unctions are paid for by the City, but performed by Los Angeles County departments under contract. Some of th ontracts now in effect are for police protection, street maintenance, and tax collection service The City is a general law city operating under the City Council/City Manager form of government. The financial reporting entity of the City is comprised of various funds. The accompanying financial statements include those of the City and contain only the funds of the City.

In evaluating how to define the City for financial reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units. The primary criteria for including a potential component unit within the reporting entity are the governing body's financial accountability and a financial benefit or burden relationship and whether it is misleading to exclude. A primary government is financially accountable and shares a financial benefit or burden relationship, if it appoints a voting majority of an organization's governing body and it is able to impose its will on the organization, or if there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government. A primary government may also be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government regardless of whether the organization has a separately elected governing board, a governing board appointed by a higher level of government, or a jointly appointed board, and there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government.

There are no component units for the City that meet the criteria for blended or discrete presentation.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Basis of Presentation
The basic financial statements of the City have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.

B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statements Presentation The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for in a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures. City resources are allocated to account for in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.

Government-Wide Financial Statements
The City's government-wide financial statements include a statement of net position and a statement of activities.

These statements present summaries of governmental activities for the City. The City does not have any business- type activities; therefore, only governmental activities are reported. 19 City of Bradbury
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statements Presentation (Continued) Government-Wide Financial Statements (Continued)
The government-wide financial statements are presented on an "economic resources" measurement focus and the ccrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City's assets and liabilities are included in the accompanying tatement of net position. The statement of activities presents changes in net position. Under the accrual basis o accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned, while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.

Certain types of transactions are reported as program revenues for the City in three categories: (1) charges for services, (2) operating grants and contributions, and (3) capital grants and contributions.

Certain eliminations have been made in regards to interfund activities, payables, and receivables. The transfers in and out, and due to and due from other funds activities have been eliminated.

Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements include a balance sheet and a statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for all major governmental funds and nonmajor funds in aggregate. An accompanying schedule is presented to reconcile and explain the differences in net position as presented in these statements to the net position presented in the government-wide financial statements. The City has presented all major funds that met the qualifications for major fund reporting.

All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the balance sheets. The statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance presents increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.

Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period.

Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both "measurable" and "available". Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period as soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. The primary revenue sources, which have been treated as susceptible to accrual by the City, are property taxes, sales tax, intergovernmental revenues, other taxes, and grant revenues.

Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred.

The reconciliations of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government-Wide Financial Statements are presented to explain the differences.

The City reports the following major governmental funds:

General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. All general tax revenues and other receipts not allocated by law or contractual agreement to other funds are accounted for in this fund. Expenditures of this fund include general operating costs not paid through other funds. The General Fund is used to account for all activities of the City not accounted for in some other fund.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statements Presentation (Continued) Governmental Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
Citizens' Option for Public Safety ("COPS") Special Revenue Fund is used to account for the receipt and disbursement of funds allocated by the State of California and must be used for front line law enforcement expenditures.

C. Cash and Investments
Investments are reported at fair value.

Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.

The City pools cash investments of all funds. Each fund's share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as cash and investments. Investment income earned from pooled investments is allocated to those various funds based on each fund's average cash and investment balance.

Certain disclosure requirements, if applicable, for deposits and investment risks in the following areas:
• Interest Rate Risk
• Credit Risk
• Overall
• Custodial Credit Risk
• Concentration of Credit Risk
• Foreign Currency Risk
In addition, other disclosures are specified including use of certain methods to present deposits and investments, highly sensitive investments, credit quality at year-end and other disclosures.

D. Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes disclosures about fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specified, recorded at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.

Levels of inputs are as follows:

The three levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
• Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. • Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the assets and liabilities at the measurement date. 21 City of Bradbury
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) E. Receivables
Receivables include such items as taxes, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, miscellaneous accounts receivable, and interest receivable. No allowance for doubtful accounts has been established, as the City believes all amounts are considered to be collectible in the normal course of business.

F. Capital Assets
Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost was not available.

The City's capitalization policy is $5,000 and above for machinery and equipment; $10,000 and above for building improvements; $20,000 and above for buildings; and $50,000 and above for infrastructure assets. Capital assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Structures and improvements 50 Years
Machinery and Equipment 7-10 Years
Infrastructure:

Roadways - Pavement 25 Years
Roadways - Signs 10 Years
Sewer - Existing Pipe 75 Years
Fence 50 Years
Curbs and Gutters 100 Years
Bridge 75 Years
G. Interfund Activity
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans).

H. Compensated Absences
The City accrues accumulated unpaid vacation and sick leave and associated employee-related costs when earned (or estimated to be earned) by the employee. All full-time employees accrue vacation leave according to their years of service. Unused sick days are forfeited at termination or resignation; therefore, there is no liability for I. Pensions
The City contributes to the California Public Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS"), a cost-sharing multiple- employer defined benefit pension plan. For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions to/deductions from the plans' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

The following timeframes are used for pension reporting:

Valuation Date June 30, 2022
Measurement Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Period July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023
22 City of Bradbury
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) I. Pensions (Continued)
Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source . of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.

J. Deferred Outflows / Inflows of Resources
The Statement and Net Position and the Balance Sheet report separate sections for deferred outflows of resources, and deferred inflows of resources, when applicable.

Deferred Outflows of Resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods.

Deferred Inflows of Resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods.

K. Fund Balances
In the governmental fund financial statements, fund balances are classified as follows:

Nonspendable - This amount indicates the portion of fund balance which cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form, such as prepaid items, inventories or loans receivable, or legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, such as the principal portion of an endowment.

Restricted - This amount indicates the portion of fund balance which has been restricted a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Committed - This amount indicates the portion of fund balance which can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to formal resolution or ordinance of the City Council. The City Council is considered the highest authority for the City. Adoption of a resolution by the City Council is required to commit resources or to rescind the commitment.

Assigned - This amount indicates the portion of fund balance which is constrained by the City's intent to be used for specific purposes, but is neither restricted nor committed. The City Manager is authorized by the City Council to determine and define the amount of assigned fund balance.

Unassigned - This amount indicates the portion of fund balance that does not fall into one of the above categories. This category is for any balances that have no restrictions placed upon them. The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other than the general fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.

When expenditures are incurred for purposes where only unrestricted fund balances are available, the City uses the unrestricted resources in the following order: committed, assigned, and unassigned. 23 City of Bradbury
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) I Net Position
In the government-wide financial statements, net position balances are classified as follows:

Investment in Capital Assets - This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation.

Restricted - This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities related to those assets.

Unrestricted - This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position.

When expenses are incurred for purposes in which both restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, the City's policy is to apply the restricted component of net position first.

M. Property Tax Revenues
Property taxes in California are levied in accordance with Article XIIIB of the State Constitution at one percent of county-wide assessed valuations. This one percent is allocated pursuant to state law to the appropriate units of local government. Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which taxes have been levied, providec that the revenue is collected in the current period or will be collected within 60 days thereafter.

The following dates relate to property tax levies and collections:

Lien Date January 1
Levy Date July 1
Due Dates November 1 and February 1
Collection Dates December 10 and April 10
N. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the basic financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

O. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncements
During fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City has implemented the following new GASB Pronouncements:

GASB Statement No. 100 - In June 2022, the GASB issued Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections An Amendment of GASB Statement No. 62. The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability. The requirements of this Statement are effective for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2023, and all reporting periods thereafter. There were no significant impacts on the City's financial statements.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
Note 3 - Cash and Investments
Cash and investments as of June 30, 2024 consisted of the following:
•
Petty cash 296
Demand deposits 385,593
Investments in negotiable certificates of deposit 937,889 Investments with US Treasury 1,441,541
Investments with LAIF 3,541,233
Total 6,306,552
A. Deposits
The carrying amount of the City's demand deposits was $385,593 at June 30, 2024. The bank balances at that date were $386,564 the total amount of which was collateralized or insured with accounts held by the pledging financial institutions in the City's name as discussed below.

The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City's cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's name.

The market value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California law also allows institutions to secure City's deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the City's total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements for cash deposits, which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC""). The City, however, has not waived the collateralization requirements.

The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required to be held by fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures, if applicable. Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated on an accounting period basis to the various funds based on the period-end cash and investment balances.

B. Investments
Under the provisions of the City's investment policy and in accordance with Section 53601 of the California Government Code, the City may invest in the type of investments listed in the table below. The table also identifies certain provisions intended to limit the City's exposure to interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk.

Credit Risk - State law limits investments in commercial paper and corporate bonds to the top two ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. It is the City's policy to limit its investments in these investment types to the top rating issued by Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Service. At June 30, 2024, the City's credit risks, expressed on a percentage basis, were as follows:

Credit Quality Distribution for Securities

Certificates of Deposit Not Rated Not Rated 15.84%
U.S. Government Obligations Aaa AA+ 24.35%
Local Agency Investment Fund Not Rated Not Rated 59.81% Total 100.00%
Custodial Risk - For deposits, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, the City 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. For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer), the City will not be able to recover the value of its 26 City of Bradbury

E. Investment in Local Agency Investment Fund ("LAIF")
As of June 30, 2024, the City had $3,541,233 invested in LAIF. LAIF determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities where market quotations are readily available and based on amortized cost or best estimate for those securities where market value is not readily available. The City's investment in LAIF is reported at amortized cost.

Note 6 - Self-Insurance with Joint Powers Authority
A. Description of Self-Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Powers Agreement The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (the "Authority"). The Authority is composed of 124 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates through a nine-member Executive Committee.

B. Primary Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. A retrospective adjustment is then conducted annually thereafter, for coverage years 2012-13 and prior. Coverage years 2013-14 and forward are not subject to routine annual retrospective adjustment. The total funding requirement for primary self- insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool. 28 City of Bradbury

A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $500,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.

The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence.

Subsidence losses also have a $50 million per occurrence limit. The coverage structure is composed of a combination of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and excess insurance. Additional information concerning the coverage structure is available on the Authority's website: https://cjpia.org/coverage/risk-sharing-pools/.

Claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $75,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $75,000 to $200,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $200,000 to statutory limits are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.

For 2023-24 the Authority's pooled retention is $1 million per occurrence, with reinsurance to statutory limits under California Workers' Compensation Law. Employer's Liability losses are pooled among members to $1 million. Coverage from $1 million to $5 million is purchased through reinsurance policies, and Employer's Liability losses from $5 million to $10 million are pooled among members.

Note 7 - Deferred Compensation Plan
The City had made available to its employees a deferred compensation plan, whereby employees authorize the City to withhold funds from salaries to be invested in individual investment accounts. Funds may be withdrawn by participants upon termination of employment or retirement. The City makes no contributions under the Plan. The amount held by trustees for the employees at June 30, 2024 was $26,652. The Trustee invests compensation deferred by employees in various investment options selected by the employee and retains title to all accumulated funds until they are paid to the employee or other beneficiary. Plan assets were established in the trust arrangement specified by Internal Revenue Code Section 457(g). The plan assets are not reflected on the City's financial statements.

Benefit Provided
CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. A classic CalPERS member becomes eligible for service retirement upon attainment of age 55 with at least 5 years of credited service. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the California's Public Employees' Pension Reform Act ("PEPRA") went into effect. Employees hired after January 1, 2013 who are new to the CalPERS system are part of the PEPRA plan. PEPRA members become eligible for service retirement upon attainment of age 62 with at least 5 years of service. The service retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to the product of the benefit factor, years of service, and final compensation. The final compensation is the highest 36 or 12 consecutive months' full-time equivalent monthly pay. Retirement benefits for classic employees are calculated as 2% of the average final 12 months compensation. Retirement benefit for PEPRA employees are calculated as 2% of the average final 36 months compensation.

Participant is eligible for non-industrial disability retirement if becomes disabled and has at least 5 years of credited service. There is no special age requirement. The standard non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent of final compensation, multiplied by service. Industrial disability benefits are not offered to miscellaneous employees.

An employee's beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee dies while actively employed. The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other pre-retirement death benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5 percent per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six months' salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death. Upon the death of a retiree, a one-time lump sum payment of $500 will be made to the retiree's designated survivors), or to the retiree's estate.

Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each employee's retirement allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis by 2 percent.

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law ("PERL") requires that the employer the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS' annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the measurement period ended June 30, 2023, the active employee and employer's contribution rates for classic miscellaneous plan were 7.00% and 8.63%, respectively; and for PEPRA miscellaneous plan were 6.75% and 7.47% of annual payroll, respectively.

Pension Liabilities (Assets), Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pension
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability The June 30, 2022 were rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2023 total pension liabilities, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Actuarial Assumptions:

Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary Increases Varies by Entry Age and Service
Mortality Rate Table' Derived using CalPERS' Membership Data for all Funds.

Post Retirement Benefit Increase The lesser of contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing Power Protection Allowance floor on purchasing power applies, 2.30% thereafter.

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building -block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CaPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds' asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. 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.

Sensitivity of the City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability (Asset) to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the City's proportionate share of the net pension liabilities of the Plan as of the measurement date at June 30, 2023, calculated using the discount rate of 6.90%, as well as what the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage-point lower (5.90%) or 1 percentage-point higher (7.90%) than the current rate:

Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability (Assel) and Pension Expense The following table shows the plan's proportionate share of the risk pool collective net pension liability over the measurement period:

Increase (Decrease)
Plan Total Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Plan Net Pension
Miscellaneous Liability Position Liability (Asset)
Balance at: 6/30/22 (Valuation date) 1,400,678 $ 1,217,551 $ 183,127 Balance at: 6/30/23 (Measurement date) 1,561,300 1,335,814 225,486 Net Changes during 2022-23 $ 160,622 $ 118,263 $ 42,359 The following is the approach established by the plan actuary to allocate the net pension liability and pension expense to the individual employers within the risk pool.
(1) In determining a cost-sharing plan's proportionate share, total amounts of liabilities and assets are first calculated for the risk pool as a whole on the valuation date (June 30, 2022). The risk pool's fiduciary net position ("FNP") subtracted from its total pension liability (TPL") determines the net pension liability ("NPL) at the valuation date.
(2) Using standard actuarial roll forward methods, the risk pool TPL is then computed at the measurement date (June 30, 2023). Risk pool FNP at the measurement date is then subtracted from this number to compute the NPL for the risk pool at the measurement date. For purposes of FNP in this step and any later reference thereto, the risk pool's FNP at the measurement date denotes the aggregate risk pool's FNP at June 30, 2023 less the sum of all additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by all employers during the measurement period (2022-2023).
(3) The individual plan's TPL, FNP and NPL are also calculated at the valuation date. TPL is allocated based on the rate plan's share of the actuarial accrued liability. FNP is allocated based on the rate plan's share of the market value assets.
(4) Two ratios are created by dividing the plan's individual TPL and FNP as of the valuation date from (3) by the amounts in step (1), the risk pool's total TPL and FNP, respectively. (5) The plan's TPL as of the Measurement Date is equal to the risk pool TPL generated in (2) multiplied by the TPL ratio generated in (4). The plan's FNP as of the Measurement Date is equal to the FNP generated in (2) multiplied by the FNP ratio generated in (4) plus any additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by the employer on behalf of the plan during the measurement period. (6) The plan's NPL at the Measurement Date is the difference between the TPL and FNP calculated in (5).

Deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and pension expenses are allocated based on the City's share of contributions during the measurement period.

For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City recognized pension expense of $93,266 for the miscellaneous plan.

The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized over 5-years straight line. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.

The expected average remaining service lifetime ("EARSL") is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive; and retired). The EARSL for the miscellaneous plan risk pool for the 2022-23 measurement period is 3.8 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 600,538 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 160,073 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired).

At June 30, 2024, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

In order to prudently protect its fiscal solvency, the City maintains a minimum assigned fund balance of $1,000,000 as reserves for economic uncertainties. The reserve is important in order to:

Ensure that the City is able to respond to the challenges of a changing environment.

Reduce the budgetary impacts of bad economic times.
• Insulate the City from actions of the State that may result in reduction of revenues.

Mitigate exposure to natural disasters or other catastrophic events. • Demonstrate continued creditworthiness to bond rating agencies and the financial community.

The nature and purpose of each reserve is described below:

A. Infrastructure - funds set aside for one-time infrastructure expenditures relating to City owned infrastructure repairs such as streets, sewers or other City facilities.

B. Economic changes, natural disaster or other catastrophic events - funds set aside for local disasters, emergencies, and / or unexpected economic changes that adversely impact the City's financial position.

This reserve was not formally adopted by the City Council.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting ("internal control") as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City's financial statements will prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. We identified certain deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2024-001 that we consider to be a material weakness.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financia statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of ou audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of City's Reponses to Findings
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City's response to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The City's response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.

Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control or or compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standard:
in considering the City's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
Finding 2024-001 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Criteria:

Management is responsible for the accuracy of the financial statements, including disclosures. As part of satisfying that responsibility, staff should possess the skills and knowledge necessary to perform year-end closing procedures, reconcile subsidiary ledgers, and ensure that the trial balance is properly balanced and supported by underlying records.

Condition:
• Unbalanced Trial Balance: The trial balance initially provided to the auditor did not balance, requiring adjustments before the audit could proceed. Management had previously identified and disclosed that the issue but was unable to resolve it timely after reaching out to the accounting software provider.

Capital Assets: The initial capital assets schedule and supporting documentation were not accurate in representing the City's current year capital asset activities. Based on our review, certain adjustments were recommended and were subsequently recorded by management. • Closing Process and Timing: The financial close experienced delays due to factors listed above. As a result, preparation of the basic financial statements and related audit procedures were delayed.

Cause:

The year end closing process is still evolving and has not yet been fully standardized, which affects the timing and coordination of certain tasks. Formal review procedures over reconciliations and supporting schedules for the trial balance, particularly in the areas of capital assets and closing entries, are limited due to operational constraints. The Finance Director serves in a part-time capacity with regular on-site availability once a week, which contributed to the timing of reviews and updates following auditor feedback.

Effect:

The unbalanced trial balance at audit start and inaccurate capital asset additions required correcting entries, extended audit effort, and delayed completion of the basic financial statements.

Delays in processing transactions and updating schedules timely and closing accounting periods can create accounting rrors that could go undetected and may lead the financial statements to be materially misstated and create furthe lelays in the release of audited financial statements, as well as allow for possible irregularities including fraud to exis and continue without notice.

Recommendation:

We recommend that the City continue to strengthen year-end closing procedures to reduce the risk of accounting rors and the need for post-closing journal adjustments. These procedures could include timely review and approv y management of account reconciliations and supporting schedules. Regarding the trial balance, management shou continue to work with the vendor to ensure that the condition is resolved and that monitoring controls are in place to promptly identify any future imbalances.

Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
Finding 2024-001 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Continued) View of Responsible City Officials:

Unbalanced Trial Balance:

Management acknowledges the auditor's observation regarding the initial imbalance in the trial balance. This matter was an isolated, first-time occurrence and was not the result of recurring errors in our financial reporting processes Prior to submitting the trial balance, management had already identified the discrepancy and proactively notified the The imbalance was ultimately traced to a system malfunction within the accounting software. Management engaged the software provider immediately, and after several rounds of technical review, the provider identified the root cause.

Resolving the issue required both system-level corrections and the posting of specific journal entries, all of which have since been completed.

Going forward, we do not anticipate a recurrence of this issue. The software provider now has full visibility into the cause of the malfunction, which will enable a more efficient response should a similar issue arise in the future.

Management remains committed to maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the financial reporting environment.

Capital Assets:

Management acknowledges the auditor's observation regarding the initial capital asset schedule and supporting documentation. All capital asset transactions were recorded in good faith and in accordance with management's understanding of the applicable accounting requirements. At no point was there any misrepresentation or deviation from the City's actual capital asset activity.

The adjustments recommended by the auditor were reviewed by management and were fully consistent with standard audit practices. These recommendations were neither unusual nor outside the norm for municipal audits. Upon confirmation that the adjustments reflected a preferred presentation under the applicable standards, management accepted and promptly recorded them.

Management maintains a strong commitment to the accuracy and integrity of the City's financial reporting and will continue to enhance its processes to ensure ongoing compliance with all relevant accounting requirements.

Closing Process and Timing:

Management acknowledges the auditor's comment regarding delays in the financial close process; however, it is important to clarify that the items cited were not the primary drivers of this year's timing challenges. The City's Finance Director is on site one day per week, typically Thursday or Friday. Consequently, when audit requests or follow-up inquiries are received late in the week, responses cannot be provided until the Director's next scheduled workday, often resulting in a minimum two-to-three-week turnaround. This structural scheduling constraint is the primary factor influencing response times, not the isolated technical issues referenced.

It should also be noted that delays of this nature have not occurred in prior audit years. This year represents an exceptional circumstance, an isolated deviation from our historically timely audit process. In previous audits, despite the same staffing model, the close and audit procedures were completed without similar timing concerns.

Management remains committed to maintaining an effective and timely financial reporting process. While certain timing limitations are inherent under the current staffing structure, management will continue to evaluate opportunities to streamline workflows and enhance audit coordination in future cycles. 78 City of Bradbury
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30. 2024
Finding 2024-001 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Continued) View of Responsible City Officials (Continued):

Management Responses to the Cause:

Management acknowledges the auditor's observation regarding the year-end closing process. It is important to note that the financial close is an evolving process, as there are no fixed audit procedures and adjustments are ofter required based on audit inquiries and operational circumstances. The temporary trial balance discrepancy and capital asset schedule adjustments were isolated technical matters and were addressed promptly; they did not materially impact the audit timeline.

The primary factor affecting timing was structural: the Finance Director serves in a part-time capacity with regular on-site availability one day per week. Consequently, responses to audit inquiries, particularly those received late in the week, can only be addressed on the Director's next scheduled workday, which can extend the overall audit timeline. This year represents an exceptional circumstance, and similar delays have not occurred in prior audits.

Management remains fully committed to the accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting. While certain timing constraints are inherent under the current staffing model, ongoing efforts are underway to standardize the closing process, strengthen review procedures, and improve coordination with auditor to support efficient and reliable year- end reporting.

Management Responses to Effect:

Management acknowledges the auditor's observation regarding delays and adjustments during the year-end close. As previously noted, the temporary trial balance discrepancy and capital asset adjustments were isolated, non-recurring issues, typical in audits, and not indicative of systemic deficiencies. During the current fiscal year, only four audit journal entries were required, and all accruals for revenues and expenses were properly recorded.

Robust internal controls are in place: bank reconciliations, income and expense statements, and investment reports are prepared monthly and reviewed and signed by the Treasurer; all checks are approved by the Board, with checks of $1,000 or more requiring two authorized signatures. Given these procedures and the year-end audit's detailed review, the risk of material misstatement is minimal, and the possibility of fraud is effectively mitigated. Management remains committed to maintaining these controls and ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the City's financial reporting.

Management Responses to the Recommendations:

Management acknowledges the auditor's recommendation and concurs with the importance of continuously strengthening year-end closing procedures. As noted previously, the financial close process is evolving, and cerfain timing and operational constraints, such as the Finance Director's part-time availability, can affect the review of account reconciliations and supporting schedules. Management remains committed to improving these procedures, including timely review and approval of reconciliations and schedules, to minimize the risk of accounting errors and reduce the need for post-closing journal adjustments.

Regarding the trial balance, management has already engaged with the software vendor to identify and correct the system issue that caused the temporary imbalance. Corrective journal entries have been posted, and monitoring procedures have been implemented to promptly identify and resolve any future imbalances. Management considers these measures effective and will continue to work proactively with the vendor to maintain the integrity of the trial balance.

DISCUSSION
The 2025 California Buildings Standards Code has been adopted by the State and was published on July 1, 2025. Under State law, all new Codes take effect 180 days after publication, which means they will apply to all local construction starting January 1, 2026. The City of Bradbury is adopting these codes as the new Bradbury Building Code.

The biggest change this year is the introduction of the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (CWUIC). The new code pulls together wildfire-resilience requirements that were previously scattered across multiple codes. Modeled after the International Code Council Wildland Urban Interface Code, the CWUIC does not add major new requirements; instead, it organizes existing rules into one clear, easy-to-use document.

This is a major step forward in making wildfire-related standards more streamlined statewide.

Normally, cities can modify the State codes to address local needs. However, Assembly Bill 130, effective June 30, 2025, places a six-year moratorium on local amendments that affect residential units. The only local changes allowed for housing are those that match amendments already in effect before September 30, 2025, and/or improve wildfire resistance.

PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS
This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process. Copies of this report are available at City Hall.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 400U, which shall take effect immediately and become operative January 1, 2026.

It is also recommended that the City Council, introduce, waive reading in full, and authorize reading by title only of Ordinance No. 400, entitled, "AN ON ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BRADBURY ADOPTING BY REFERENCE TITLE 26 OF THE 2026 LOS
