March 2026 Review
The City's overall investments and cash balances increased by net $1.1M from the previous month, primarily due to the increase in sales taxes and reimbursement of $676K from CCAG for the SMART Corridor project.
As reflected on Page 1, the BNY Mellon agency bonds subtotal grew to $10M. The City continues to seek and purchase longer term bonds with rates higher than LAIF to ladder maturities when available. Two $1M bonds earning 4.0% were purchased, moving funds to higher interest rates from the BNY Custody Money Market account.
The slight increase in the WFB balance left funds in non-interestearning accounts instead of in the BNY Custody Money Market account or LAIF, resulting in a decrease in the City's portfolio weighted interest to
3.03% at month-end, lower than the 2-year Treasury rate benchmark of
3.79%.
The City's Cash with Fiscal Agents March 2026 $8.8M balance is primarily comprised of $7M of the PARS trust accounts, $1.5M of the 2023 Bond proceeds held in trust, and $323K of the 2014 Bonds trust account balance as reflected on Page 1. The increase of $323K for the 2014 Bonds April debt service payment was offset with interest loss of $292K in the PARS trust accounts, resulting in net reduction of $39K.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the County of San Mateo (the County) for an amendment to the agreement between the County and the 20 cities of the county for animal care and control services provided by the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA (PHS) for a term of three years to begin July 1, 2026.
Background
Animal control has been one of the longest running regional/shared services in San Mateo County. Since 1952, the County has contracted with the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA (PHS) for animal control field and sheltering service. All 20 cities in the County have in turn contracted with the County for these services. Historically, cities have taken advantage of the economies of pooling resources in order to realize lower costs for services than each city could likely achieve by providing its own services.
PHS provides animal control services in a County-owned 45,000 square foot building at 12 Airport Boulevard in San Mateo. The mandated animal control service functions, which occur at the Airport Boulevard facility, include: receiving and housing stray animals; serving as the location for the public when looking for lost pets or surrendering animals; sheltering animals; spay/neuter clinic; and, vaccination clinic. For public convenience, licensing, micro-chipping, veterinary care and animal behavior work, and field services staff are at this location and respond to calls for service in the community.
On January 5, 2021, the County released a request for proposals to 71 organizations for an Animal Care, Control and Shelter Services Contractor serving San Mateo County. Two contractors submitted proposals on February 18, 2021 (Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA and Partners in Animal Care & Compassion/Pets in Need).
On March 4, 2021, a review committee composed of nine reviewers including a Deputy County Manager, a San Mateo County Fiscal Officer, five reviewers from various San Mateo County cities, and subject matter experts from Los Angeles and San Bernardino evaluated the proposals. The evaluation determined that both proposals were acceptable; however,
Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA (PHS) scored higher overall. Contract negotiations with PHS started March 24, 2021 and amicably concluded on April 3, 2021. The negotiating team included the County Manager, County Counsel, the County Animal Control Manager, and six city representatives. This contract will conclude on June 30, 2026.
Discussion
The current contract state that Animal Control services will conclude on June 30, 2026.
However, a clause in the contract allows for parties to extend the term for an additional three years and is referenced below. Subsequently, the County met with the President of PHS and both parties agreed to extend the Animal Care and Control Services contract for another three years until June 30, 2029.
As the Council will recall, the PHS contract was developed in concept and reviewed by a working group of County managers, City Managers, and other interested city participants (e.g., personnel from some Police Departments). The San Mateo County City Managers Association (SMCCMA) has also established a standing committee to do an in-depth review of the contract, performance audits, cost sharing formulas, and strategic direction for provision of countywide animal control services. The SMCCMA committee was directly involved with the County during contract negotiations and had a seat at the table with PHS and the County hammering out the final outcome.
The contract has performed effectively, providing the cities with reliable animal control services and significantly reducing the number of complaints compared to previous years.
Only a few modifications have been made to the agreement, as outlined below:
4.1.a The County will pay Animal Control Contractor the following agreed-to amounts. These costs are to be reimbursed by the Cities as provided in Section 3.7 above.
Fiscal Year Amount
2021-22 $6,189,290.95
2022-23 $6,327,480.28
2023-24 $6,499,455.67
2024-25 $6,674,024.00
2025-26 $6,858,739.01
2026-27 $7,037,138.11
2027-28 $7,220,177.44
2028-29 $7,407,977.72
This is less than a 3% increase a year for the contracted animal control services and this cost will be passed onto our city.
Section 4.1 is amended to read as follows:
4.1.b The County will pay the Animal Licensing Contractor the following agreed-to amounts. These costs are to be reimbursed by the Cities as provided in Section 3.7 above (the table in 4.2 includes the payment for the contract PetData for approximately $1,096,827 for five years, which is $219,365 yearly and which will end on June 30, 2027).
Current Contract
2022-2027
Amount
One year license $4.28 per license
Multi-year license $4.28 for the first year and $2 for each additional year
Late fees collected $2.50 collection service fee for each license Replacement tags $4.28 per tag
Bank and supply fees Actual cost
Section 4.2 is amended to read as follows:
4.2 The County shall provide the administrative services as outlined in this Agreement for the following estimated amounts to be charged to and paid by the Cities. Costs may vary as labor negotiations and internal service charges are negotiated at a Countywide level.
Cities will only be invoiced for the actual costs to provide said services as outlined in this Agreement and are to be reimbursed by the Cities as provided in Section 3.7 above.
Fiscal Year Amount
2021-22 $790,835
2022-23 $790,375
2023-24 $814,086
2024-25 $822,227
2025-26 $846,894
2026-27 $872,301
2027-28 $898,470
2028-29 $925,424
Section 4.3.j has been removed from the agreement.
This section was to arrange a performance audit or fiscal assessment of the Animal Control Contractor PHS. The county released an RFP in January to find a vendor to perform an audit of PHS and felt that it would not be fiscally responsible to turn around within three years and conduct another audit within three years and would wait until the new contract in 2027 and write it into the new contract. This is the reason for removal.
Section 5.8 Term and Termination is amended to read as follows:
5.8 Term and Termination. Subject to compliance with all terms and conditions, the term of this Agreement shall be from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2029.
Dates and minor edits were made in this section of the agreement.
In addition to the above, the Amendment includes minor amendments to various definitions and an amendment to the Notices provision.
Fiscal Impact
The estimated cost to the City of Brisbane for the 2026-2027 fiscal year is $46,630. The County's Department of Health, which oversees the Animal Control and Licensing Program, uses a contracted methodology wherein the City's annual contract costs are based on a three-year rolling average of usage (shelter and field services) and offset by the City's share of the last calendar year's licensing revenue. The licensing revenue is divided on a percentage basis determined by the number of licenses sold in each city.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRISBANE APPROVING AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF SAN MATEO AND THE CITY OF BRISBANE FOR FACILITATION AND
COORDINATION OF ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY AND AUTHORIZING ITS
EXECUTION
WHEREAS, the City of Brisbane has passed and is responsible for enforcing its ordinances governing the regulation, licensing and impounding of certain animals within the City; and WHEREAS, the City of Brisbane (along with other cities in San Mateo County) and San Mateo County wish to enter into an agreement for animal care and control, shelter services, and animal licensing, for which the County would facilitate subject to reimbursement by the City, as has been done for more than 70 years; and
WHEREAS, the City of Brisbane desires the County to facilitate and coordinate animal control and licensing within the City, as well as on a County wide basis, as provided in the attached Agreement, which Agreement has a term of three years ending on June 30, 2029; and WHEREAS, these types of agreements are authorized by California Government Code, section 51300 and following, as well as under the City’s general police powers.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Brisbane does hereby resolve as follows:
Section 1. The Agreement between the County of San Mateo and the City of Brisbane (as well as with other cities in San Mateo County) is approved and the Mayor of the City is authorized to sign the Agreement on behalf of the City.
Section 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Coleen Mackin, Mayor
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Brisbane at a regular meeting on May 7, 2026 by the following vote:
AYES:
NOES:
ABSTAIN:
ABSENT:
Ingrid Padilla, City Clerk
City Council Staff Report
Meeting Date: May 7, 2026
From: Maz Bozorginia, Public Works Director, Jerry Flanagan Subject:
Adopt a Brisbane City Council Resolution and a GVMID
Resolution approving the First Amendment to the Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement between the City and
County of San Francisco, the City of Brisbane, and the
Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District for
Wholesale Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Services
Recommendation
Adopt a Brisbane City Council Resolution and a Board of Directors of GVMID Resolution approving the First Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the City and County of San Francisco, the City of Brisbane, and the Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District, extending the agreement under the existing terms, conditions, and rate structure.
Background
On July 31, 1995, an agreement was executed between the City and County of San Francisco (City), the City of Brisbane, and the Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District (GVMID) for wastewater treatment and disposal services.
Under this agreement, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) provides wastewater treatment and disposal services to Brisbane and Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District for dischargers within their service area. The agreement had a term of thirty (30) years, expiring on July 31, 2025. The parties have continued operating under the terms and conditions of the agreement since that date.
Discussion
The proposed First Amendment would extend the agreement for up to two additional years while the parties continue negotiations on a new long-term contract. These negotiations may include revisions to wastewater treatment and disposal rates, as well as updates to regulatory compliance requirements and procedures. The extension is intended to allow sufficient time to
finalize a new agreement before July 31, 2027.
To ensure continuity of service, all parties desire to extend the existing agreement until a new agreement is executed or the extended term expires.
Adoption of these Resolutions is not a project under CEQA because it is a continuing administrative activity, such as general policy or procedure making, and is not applied to any specific instance (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378(b)(2)). Accordingly, no further environmental review is required.
Fiscal Impact
None as a direct result of this action.

City Council Staff Report
Meeting Date: May 7, 2026
From: Abby Partin , Human Resources Director
Subject: Adopt Resolution to Amend the Current Communication and Digital Media Coordinator and Senior Accounting
Assistant Job Descriptions
Recommendation
Staff recommend adoption of a resolution amending the current Communication and Digital Media Coordinator and Senior Accounting Assistant job descriptions.
Background
The Communication and Digital Media Coordinator and Senior Accounting Assistant job descriptions have not been comprehensively updated since their last revisions and may not fully reflect current operational needs, industry standards, or the evolving scope of work within the City.
The proposed updates for both classifications are intended to modernize language, ensure alignment with classification standards, and accurately reflect the duties currently performed.
Discussion
Communications Coordinator Job Description
The proposed update removes the limitation implied by “Digital Media” and aligns the classification title with industry standards and the actual scope of work performed. The revised title more accurately reflects responsibilities that extend beyond digital media to include print communications, public information efforts, and coordination of messaging across departments.
A review of comparable positions across other cities indicates that titles such as “Communications Coordinator” or “Communications Specialist” are more commonly used and better represent the comprehensive, citywide communications responsibilities associated with this role.
The updated job description also reflects the City’s evolving communications needs and the increasing demand for timely, accurate, and accessible public information. The revisions clarify that the position operates with a high level of autonomy in managing dayto-day communications functions within a modern, fast-paced environment.
Specifically, the revised description emphasizes the incumbent’s responsibility to
independently manage: website updates, social media publishing, digital asset organization, and accessibility compliance.
These functions are core to the role and require consistent attention without continuous supervision. This enhanced level of autonomy supports more efficient day-to-day operations while maintaining close coordination with the Assistant to the City Manager for strategic direction, prioritization, and overall message alignment.
Additionally, the updated description corrects prior assumptions regarding duties that were not part of the position. For example, the previous description referenced responsibility for recording and broadcasting public meetings. In practice, this function has never been assigned to or performed by the Communication and Digital Media Coordinator, as it requires specialized staffing, equipment management, and technical coordination beyond the scope of the role.
Senior Accounting Assistant Job Description
The proposed revisions to the Senior Accounting Assistant classification are intended to modernize and better align the job description with current Finance operations and organizational needs. The updated description consolidates all Finance functional areas performed at this level into a single classification. The previous version primarily reflected payroll duties; however, current operational needs also include utility billing and related accounting functions.
The revised job description updates terminology, tools, and systems to reflect current finance practices, including the use of ERP systems and other modern financial software that were not reflected in the last update (2003). The language has also been revised to align with current classification standards.
Additionally, the updated classification more accurately reflects the scope of work performed by a Senior Accounting Assistant today. The position requires increased interaction with other departments, use of integrated financial systems, and broader administrative and technical support responsibilities within a current finance environment.
The updates for both job descriptions have been reviewed and approved by the General Employees Associate Group.
The proposed updates ensure that both classifications accurately reflect current operational needs, current industry standards, and the evolving nature of work within the City. Approval of the amended job descriptions will improve clarity, consistency, and alignment with current organizational practices.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with updating the job descriptions. The proposed
changes do not modify the classification or compensation of the positions which are already budgeted for in the current and upcoming fiscal year.

City Council Staff Report
Meeting Date: May 7, 2026
From: Jeff Franco, Parks and Recreation Coordinator, Noreen Leek, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Approve Cosponsorship of Lions Club Scholar Dinner Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council review and consider approving the 2026 Lions Club Scholar dinner as a cosponsored event.
Background
In 2003, following construction of the Mission Blue Center, the Brisbane City Council adopted a policy establishing guidelines for event cosponsorships. The policy supports and encourages recreational, educational, and cultural programs that are accessible to all individuals regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or national origin. As such, the City has a long-standing tradition of partnering with local nonprofit organizations by cosponsoring community events and waiving facility rental and staffing fees, thereby expanding access to programs that enrich residents’ lives and strengthen civic connections. This collaborative approach maximizes public resources, increases community engagement, encourages volunteerism, fosters inclusivity, and activates public spaces in meaningful ways.
Qualifying criteria for cosponsored events include Brisbane residency, designation by the State of California as a non-profit organization (i.e. 501c3), and the event must be open to the public and suitable for the community at large.
Discussion
The Brisbane Lions Club, formed in 1947, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to serving the Brisbane community. Lions Clubs bring individuals together to donate their time towards improving their communities, and the world. The organization helps our local community with access to vision and hearing resources and equipment, scholarships for students in Brisbane, and more. The Brisbane Lions Club Scholar Dinner will take place at the Mission Blue Center on Friday, June 12, 2026, from 5:00–9:00pm, The event is open to scholar award recipients and their families.
The event sponsor is also requesting waiver of the deposit ($500) and insurance certificates which are typically required for private facility rental groups. They are also requesting the City’s
support with promotion and marketing of their event (i.e. signboards, social media).

City Council Staff Report
Meeting Date: May 7, 2026
From: Jeff Franco, Parks and Recreation Coordinator, Noreen Leek, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Approve Cosponsorship of Brisbane Library's CaveSim Event
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council review and consider approving the Brisbane Library's CaveSim event as a cosponsored event.
Background
In 2003, following construction of the Mission Blue Center, the Brisbane City Council adopted a policy establishing guidelines for event cosponsorships. The policy supports and encourages recreational, educational, and cultural programs that are accessible to all individuals regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or national origin. As such, the City has a long-standing tradition of partnering with local nonprofit organizations by cosponsoring community events and waiving facility rental and staffing fees, thereby expanding access to programs that enrich residents’ lives and strengthen civic connections. This collaborative approach maximizes public resources, increases community engagement, encourages volunteerism, fosters inclusivity, and activates public spaces in meaningful ways.
Qualifying criteria for cosponsored events include Brisbane residency, designation by the State of California as a non-profit organization (i.e. 501c3), and the event must be open to the public and suitable for the community at large.
Discussion
The Brisbane Library is a Non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1981. Their mission is “together, we build meaningful connections and inspire lifelong curiosity” and their vision is “where community grows and thrives”. The Brisbane Library Cave Adventures “CaveSim” event will be held at the Brisbane Community Park on Sunday, June 28, 2026, from 10:00am-4:00pm.
The event will include a cave simulator with over 60 feet of tunnels to explore, a 12-foot vertical caving tower, cave rescue practice with a real stretcher, STEM lessons about cave rescue, and bat biology. This event is open and free to the general public. An encroachment permit to block parking is requried.
The event sponsor is also requesting waiver of the deposit ($50) and the City’s support with promotion and marketing of their event (i.e. signboards, social media).

Subject: Approve Cosponsorship of the Friends of the Brisbane Library's Citywide Garage Sale
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Council review and consider approving the Friends of the Brisbane Library's Citywide Yard Sale as a cosponsored event.
Background

The City-Wide Yard Sale is open to the general public and includes flea market style shopping opportunities at both the Brisbane Community Park and participating resident homes throughout Brisbane. A map of all the garage/yard sales locations will be distributed to the public. Hosted by the Friends of the Brisbane Library (FOBL), this annual yard sale is the Friends’ biggest fundraiser.

City Council Staff Report
Recommendation
Staff recommend City Council accept the FY 2022-2023 Audit report, also known as the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, and the correlating Memorandum on Internal Control.
Background
The financial statements of the City of Brisbane for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, were prepared by the Finance staff and examined by an independent auditing firm, Maze and Associates, in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement
34. The City Council reviewed a draft of the report as presented on May 28, 2024, in correlation to the presentation of the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget. At the time, the auditors expected their opinion would reveal that the financial statements presented fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the City as of June 30, 2023, and that the financial statements were prepared in conformity with general accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
After several delays described later in this report, staff and the auditors completed the report whereas the financial statements were finalized in December 2025. There was no change in the opinion and the financial statements were reported to be presented fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the various activities and funds of the City in accordance with GAAP.
The Finance staff incorporates the financial statements into the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), the purpose of which is to present an easily readable and organized report on the financial transactions of the City. The ACFR provides members of the public with a wide variety of information needed to evaluate the financial condition of the City. The final step in the formal process of preparing these financial statements is to transmit them to the City Council for acceptance.
Discussion of General Fund Results
The City’s General Fund revenues increased by $5.2 million, or 22.6% compared to the prior fiscal year amount of $23.2 million. General Fund revenues, including property taxes, sales Meeting Date: May 7, 2026
From: Carolina Yuen, Finance Director
Subject: Review and Acceptance of the Fiscal Year
2022-2023 Audit
Review and Acceptance of FY23 Audit Page 2 of 8
taxes, charges for services, business license taxes, and transient occupancy taxes increased compared to the prior year.
The City’s General Fund expenditures totaled $31.7 million, an increase of $3.8 million from prior year expenditures of $27.9 million, or 13.8%. The increase in expenditures was primarily caused by increases in salaries and benefits per negotiated labor agreements, expansion of programming coming out of COVID, review of an org-wide technology plan, and increases in costs of fuel, shipping and services.
Additional details and information regarding the other operating and internal service funds can be found in the attached financial statements and notes to the financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of the City of Brisbane increased by $11.3 million, or 7.24%, to $167.7 million, of which $124.3 million represents governmental assets and deferred outflows and $43.4 million represents business-type assets and deferred outflows.
• As of June 30, 2023, the City’s total liabilities and deferred inflows increased by $10.1 million, or 15.0%, to $79.5 million, of which $67.1 million represents governmental liabilities and deferred inflows and $12.3 million represents business-type liabilities and deferred inflows.
• The assets and deferred outflows of the City exceed its liabilities and deferred inflows by $88.2 million (net position). Of this amount, ($7.7) million represents unrestricted net position which may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to constituents through programs, creditors or to make payments towards unfunded retirement liabilities.
• The total net position increased by $1.2 million primarily because the City experienced an increase in property and sales taxes, which offset an increase in expenses in operations. The result was favorable to budget. • At the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Brisbane’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $25.4 million. Approximately 11% of this amount, $2.7 million is available for spending at the government’s discretion (unassigned fund balance).
• City-wide revenue increased by $5.9 million, or 19%, to $39.6 million, of which $31.3 million was generated by governmental activities and $8.2 million was generated by business-type activities.
• City-wide expenses increased by $1 million, or 2.6%, to $37.8 million, of which $28.7 million were generated by governmental activities and $9.1 million were generated by business-type activities.

The City of Brisbane’s basic financial statements consist of three components: 1) governmentwide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. The ACFR also includes supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic financial statements.
Government-Wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements provide a corporate-like long-term view of the City's activities as a whole and include the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. They are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.
The statement of net position is designed to show bottom line results for the City and its governmental activities. This statement uses full-accrual basis and combines and consolidates governmental funds’ current financial resources (short-term spendable assets) with capital assets and long-term obligations.
The statement of activities is focused on both the gross and net cost of various activities that are supported by the government’s general tax and other revenues. This is intended to summarize and simplify the user’s analysis of the cost of various governmental services.
Both government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities include general government (City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, Human Resources, Finance, and Community Development), public safety (Police and Fire), and Public Works. These services are supported by general City revenues such as sales taxes, property taxes, hotel taxes, and by specific program revenues such as fees.
Business-type activitiesinclude the Utility Fund (Water, Sewer, and GVMID) and the Marina Fund.
Unlike governmental services, these services are supported by charges paid by users for the amount of service they use.
Fund Financial Statements. A Fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Brisbane, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the City’s funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on the near-term inflows and outflow of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable
Review and Acceptance of FY23 Audit Page 4 of 8
resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information 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 fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Fund Financials by major funds. The General Fund is always considered a major fund while other major funds are determined by formula and may change from year to year. Data from the nonmajor governmental funds is combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the required supplementary information section of this report.
Proprietary funds. The City of Brisbane maintains two different types of proprietary funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its Water and Sewer Utility Services and for its Marina. Internal Service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for the management of its employee’s health and retirement benefits (health, dental, fringe & OPEB), cost allocation of city-wide assets (vehicles and facility maintenance) and risk management (workers compensation and liability insurance).
Proprietary funds statements provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Utility and the Marina Funds which are both considered major funds.
Since the City’s Internal Service Funds provide goods and services only to the City’s Governmental and Business-type Activities, their activities are reported only in total at the Fund level. Internal Service Funds may not be Major Funds because their revenues are derived from other City funds.
These revenues are eliminated in the Government-Wide Financial Statements, and any related profits or losses are returned to the activities that created them, along with any residual net assets of the Internal Service Funds. Individual fund data for the internal service funds are provided in the form of combining statements in the required supplementary information section of this report.
Review and Acceptance of FY23 Audit Page 5 of 8
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Fund Balance and summary
Ending Fund Balance in the General Fund for FY2022/23 is reported at $15,524,000, an increase of $323,000 from prior year, or 2.1%. The unassigned balance of $9.7 million would be further reduced based on fund commitments and the Reserve Policy adopted by Council to set money aside for recessions, unanticipated events and annual fluctuations in the budget, leaving $704,000 in available reserves.
Other notable events:
Atmospheric River Storms – Over the 2022-2023 New Year’s Day holiday weekend, recordsetting heavy rains and snow caused flooding caused dangerous flooding across the State of California. The City experienced heavy rains and high tides which caused flooding in low lying areas of the City and significant debris flow sent mud, water and other materials down several roads and recreational trails and into the storm drains and downed trees. The City applied for federal aid to reimburse the costs of clean-up, repairs, and mitigation to upgrade the storm drain system. Projected costs totaled $2,500,000, and the City originally expected to receive $1,900,000 as reimbursement from FEMA and has received $2,200,000 in FY24. Costs related to staff time are part of operating expenses. The majority of the repair costs occurred in FY24 and were not included in the FY23 financials. Because the payments were received from a federal agency (FEMA), a single audit is required to review the accounting of the related transactions.
Implementation of GASB 87 – The objective of this pronouncement is to improve accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. GASB 87 enhances the relevance and consistency of financial reporting for local governments by establishing a single, unified model for lease accounting based on the principle that most leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. It improves transparency by requiring lessees and lessors to recognize assets and liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases, which were often excluded from the Statement of Net Position or Balance Sheet. This in turn boosts accountability and allows for better comparability of leasing activities between different government entities.
There were no applicable leases over the threshold for GASB 87 implementation where the City is the Lessor. The City, however, serves as a Lessee for GASB 87 implementation in the agreement to lease the building located at 25 Park Place. Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the Statement of Net Position and further described in Note 11 – Leases in the Notes to Basic Financial Statements.
Memorandum on Internal Control
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, the auditors issue the Memorandum on Internal Control (MOIC) as an integral part of the audit to accompany the ACFR. The purpose of
Review and Acceptance of FY23 Audit Page 6 of 8
the MOIC is solely to describe the scope of their testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements, and the results of that testing. The MOIC does not provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or compliance.
The MOIC is addressed to City Council because of the following key reasons:
Audit Requirements: Auditing standards (U.S. GAAS) require independent auditors to report significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control to the governing body.
Oversight Responsibility: The council must monitor the performance of internal controls to prevent or detect errors and fraud. The memo provides them with necessary information to oversee management's corrective actions.
Transparency and Accountability: The memorandum ensures that elected officials are aware of risks, allowing them to verify that public dollars are managed responsibly.
Actionable Advice: The report outlines opportunities for strengthening internal controls, which the council uses to ensure city staff make improvements.
The MOIC is intended for the information and use of management, City Council, others within the organization, and other related agencies or pass-through entities. The MOIC provides a Summary of Findings/Schedule of Other Matters that is divided into the following three sections:
Schedule of Material Weakness – 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 not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
The delay in the preparation of the audit and production of the financial statements led to a comment in the Schedule of Material Weakness. The delay was due to staff constraints, two executive retirements, several family emergency and leave situations within the Finance Department, and significant hurdles encountered during the implementation of a budgeting software application. Additional delays in finalizing the audit were encountered as the Finance Department was responsible for rolling out a new business license administration partnership and involved in the implementation and integration of software record systems of two other departments (Planning and Marina). The auditor recommendation includes analyzing staff resources to determine better alternatives and procedures to ensure financial data is processed timely. Staff agree with the recommendation and have implemented a plan to complete the outstanding audits for FY24 and FY25 that have been behind schedule. Departmental functions have been reassigned to enhance efficiencies without losing financial integrity
Review and Acceptance of FY23 Audit Page 7 of 8
of the transactional records. Staff have replaced financial software applications with more robust and vendor supported tools. The department’s monthly and year-end task timelines have been updated and will be reinforced with staff.
Schedule of Significant Deficiencies – 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.
Delays in preparation and reviewing the monthly bank reconciliations and journal entries led to comments in the Schedule of Significant Deficiencies. As mentioned earlier, the delays were due to staff constraints, two executive retirements, several family emergencies and leave situations within the Finance Department, and significant hurdles encountered during the implementation of a budgeting software application.
Supervisory staff responsible for month-end processes and reviews were also participating in the transition to a new business license administration partnership, and the implementation and integration of software record systems of land permitting system and Marina billing and berth management system. The auditor recommendation includes targeting the month-end preparation and review to a shorter window between 30 and 45 days. Timeliness of the journal entries would also facilitate more accurate and earlier year-end close procedures. Staff agree with the recommendation. Finance is staffed adequately when all employees are present, which was a challenge when 50% of the staff positions were vacant for extended periods of time during FY23 and months during the annual financial statement preparation. The department’s monthly and year-end task timelines have been updated and will be reinforced with staff.
Management has identified contingency back-up plans at supervisory levels to bring in additional resources if similar situations arise in the future.
Schedule of Other Matters – this schedule includes recommendations not meeting the above definitions that the auditors believe are opportunities for strengthening controls and operating efficiency. Also included in this section are an alert to new accounting pronouncements taking effect in subsequent fiscal years or near future.
During the audit, the auditors found several capital asset schedules that did not reconcile properly to the financial system balances. This led to a comment in the Schedule of Other Matters. Staff reconcile their capital asset transactions annually as part of the year-end close. Although this is common in municipalities, doing so can cause delays at year-end and leaves room for errors. The audit recommendation is to re-train staff on the procedures and perform the reconciliations more often or at least earlier in the year to reduce the stressful turn-around at year-end. Staff agree with the recommendation and are implementing mid-year capital asset activity procedures and enhanced progress reviews. Also, additional staff will be trained on the fixed asset
Review and Acceptance of FY23 Audit Page 8 of 8
module and assess a modification to the accounting software to automate the production of this information on a timely basis with less manual intervention.
Management is required to respond to any comments, but the responses have not been subjected to audit procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, the auditors do not express an opinion on the responses.
Staff find the MOIC to be an important tool to provide feedback on the operations and discuss best practices and risk mitigation. The MOIC is addressed to the City Council because they are recognized as “those charged with governance.” While day-to-day management is handled by city staff, the City Council acts as the final check on financial integrity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Brisbane, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Brisbane (City), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the respective budgetary 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.
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 requirement 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 these 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 the 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. 1
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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 controlrelated matters that we identified during the audit. 2
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 is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
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 accompanying Supplementary Information, as listed in the Table of Contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information 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. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the 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 Supplementary Information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory Section and Statistical Section listed in the Table of Contents, but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. 3
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 5, 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Brisbane, we offer readers this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Readers are encouraged to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information furnished in the letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages v-xi of this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of the City of Brisbane increased by $11.3 million, or 7.24%, to $167.6 million, of which $124.2 million represents governmental assets and deferred outflows and $43.4 million represents business-type assets and deferred outflows.
• The City’s total liabilities and deferred inflows increased by $10.1 million, or 15.0%, to $79.5 million, of which $67.1 million represents governmental liabilities and deferred inflows and $12.3 million represents business-type liabilities and deferred inflows.
• The assets and deferred outflows of the City exceed its liabilities and deferred inflows by $88.2 million (net position). Of this amount, ($7.7) million represents unrestricted net position which may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to constituents through programs, creditors or to make payments towards unfunded retirement liabilities.
• The total net position increased by $1.2 million primarily because the City experienced an increase in sales taxes and property taxes greater than the increase in operating expenses. • At the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Brisbane’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $25.4 million. Approximately 11.2% of this amount, $2.8 million is available for spending at the government’s discretion (unassigned fund balance).
• City-wide revenue increased by $5.9 million, or 19.1%, to $39.6 million, of which $31.3 million was generated by governmental activities and $8.2 million was generated by business-type activities. • City-wide expenses increased by $1 million, or 2.6%, to $37.8 million, of which $28.7 million were generated by governmental activities and $9.1 million were generated by business-type activities.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Brisbane’s basic financial statements which consists of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also includes supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic financial statements.
5
Government-Wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements provide a corporate-like longterm view of the City's activities as a whole, and include the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities.
They are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.
The statement of net position is designed to show bottom line results for the City and its governmental activities. This statement uses full-accrual basis and combines and consolidates governmental funds’ current financial resources (shortterm spendable assets) with capital assets and long-term obligations.
The statement of activities is focused on both the gross and net cost of various activities that are supported by the government’s general tax and other revenues. This is intended to summarize and simplify the user’s analysis of the cost of various governmental services.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities include general government (City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, Human Resources, Finance, and Community Development), public safety (Police and Fire), and Public Works. These services are supported by general City revenues such as sales taxes, property taxes, hotel taxes, and by specific program revenues such as fees.
Business-type activities include the Utility Fund (Water, Sewer, and GVMID) and the Marina Fund. Unlike governmental services, these services are supported by charges paid by users for the amount of service they use.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 16 to 17 of this document.
Fund Financial Statements. A Fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Brisbane, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the City’s funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on the near-term inflows and outflow of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information 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 fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Fund Financials by major funds. The General Fund is always considered a major fund while other major funds are determined by formula and may change from year to year. Data from the non-major governmental funds is combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the required supplementary information section of this report.

Proprietary funds. The City of Brisbane maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its Water and Sewer Utility Services and for its Marina. Internal Service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for the management of its employee’s health and retirement benefits (health, dental, fringe & OPEB), cost allocation of city-wide assets (vehicles and facility maintenance) and risk management (workers compensation and liability insurance).
Proprietary funds statements provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Utility and the Marina Funds which are both considered major funds.
Since the City’s Internal Service Funds provide goods and services only to the City’s Governmental and Business-type Activities, their activities are reported only in total at the Fund level. Internal Service Funds may not be Major Funds because their revenues are derived from other City funds. These revenues are eliminated in the Government-Wide Financial Statements and any related profits or losses are returned to the activities that created them, along with any residual net assets of the Internal Service Funds. Individual fund data for the internal service funds are provided in the form of combining statements in the required supplementary information section of this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 26-28 of this report.
Comparison of Budget and Actual financial information is presented for the General Fund and Major Special Revenue Funds in the Required Supplementary Information. Budget and Actual financial information for non-major funds is presented in the Supplementary Information.
Fiduciary Statements. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. While these Funds represent trust responsibilities of the government, these assets are restricted in purpose and do not represent discretionary assets of the government. Therefore, these assets are not presented as part of the government-wide financial statements. The accounting for these funds is similar to that used for proprietary funds.
The City maintains two types of Fiduciary Funds. The Private Purpose Trust Fund is used to report resources held in trust for the Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency. The Agency funds report resources held by the City in a custodial capacity for individuals, private organizations and other governments.
The fiduciary fund financials can be found on pages 30-31 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 33-88 of this report.
Other supplemental information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds and internal service funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 112-145 of this report.

For more detailed information see the Statement of Net Position (page 16).
Over time, net position may serve as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the City of Brisbane, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $88.2 million at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
By far the largest portion of the City's net position, $79.8 million, reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, equipment, and infrastructure); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City's net position, $16 million, represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
As of June 30, 2023, the City is reporting a negative balance in Unrestricted net position of governmental activities as a result of the Capital Projects Fund and several Non-Major funds having a negative balance. City-wide however, there is a positive net position.

Governmental activities. Program revenues generated 41% of the City’s governmental revenues. The major sources of these revenues are providing services to outside agencies, redistributing the cost of governmental services to the operating departments through a cost allocation plan, and capital contribution and grants. The City’s property tax revenues increased by 18%. The City will continue to receive property tax from the former redevelopment agency when the property tax is greater than the amount needed to pay recognized obligations and pass-through payments. The Sales Tax revenue increased by 11% over the prior year. Hotel taxes (transient occupancy) increased by $498 thousand, or 30%, reflecting the continued rebound in the local hospitality industry.
As would be anticipated in a government, those areas which provide the least private-good oriented services have the highest net cost. Police and Fire services are provided to the whole community and City Council has made the decision that these services should be paid for by the community as a whole through its general taxes (Property, Sales, and others).
Business-type Activities. Business-type net position accounts for 35% of the City's total net position and showed an increase over prior year.
• Program revenues increased by 6% primarily due to the increase in water and sewer rates. • Expenses decreased by 1% primarily due to the decrease in pension cost and decrease in cost of emergency repairs to both Utility and Marina operations.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF GOVERNMENTAL AND PROPRIETARY FUNDS As noted earlier, the City of Brisbane uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City of Brisbane’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflow, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for discretionary uses as they represent the portion of the fund balance which has not yet been limited to use for a particular purpose by either an external party, the City itself, or a group or individual that has been delegated authority to assign resources for use for particular purposes by the City Council.
At June 30, 2023, the City’s Governmental Funds reported combined Fund Balances of $25.4 million, an increase of $1.3 million compared to prior year.
Revenues from Governmental Funds increased by $5.6 million, or 21.5%, from the prior year for a total of $31.3 million, primarily due to the increase in Sales and Property Taxes. Whereas Governmental Fund expenditures increased by $3.9 million for a total of $35.1 million, primarily due to repairs as a result of the atmospheric river storms and preventative improvements, capital outlay and one-time retirement payouts.

General Fund – The General Fund ended the year with a fund balance of $15.5 million. Of this amount, $3.6 million is nonspendable including: Encumbrances, Advances to Other Funds, and Loans Receivables. The Unassigned portion of the Fund Balance is $9.7 million. The General Fund’s reserves still met the Council’s policy of 50% of its expenditures in reserves.
The City’s tax revenues increased by $2.7 million, or 19.6%, over prior year, including an increase of $944 thousand in property taxes and an increase of $1.1 million in sales taxes. Secured property taxes grew by $250.9 thousand, or 8%, the excess funds returned to the City from the state’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) increased by $271.6 thousand. The property tax increase reflected the continued growth in Sierra Point Parkway as well as home sales and remodeling projects. Sales taxes increased primarily due to continued rebound from COVID, several one-time large purchases, and the enactment of the Use Tax. The transient occupancy tax saw an increase from prior year in the amount of $498 thousand, but not yet to pre-pandemic levels. The increase of licenses, permits and fees of $1.9 million, was due to the continued growth in permits for development projects, a catch-up payment in liquid storage business tax, an increase in business license taxes including the newly enacted hotel businesses license tax.
General Fund expenditures increased by $3.8 million primarily due to repairs to the storm drains and road after major storms, and other capital outlay. Other departmental costs increased including increases in one-time large retirement vacation payout for Administrative department, Planning activity and support to address the commercial developments at Sierra Point, and continued increase in costs of goods, services, utilities and salary costs. The implementation of GASB 87 for Leases increased a one-time charge to capital outlay of $5.5 million.
Low/Mod Income Housing Asset Special Revenue Fund –The City elected to become the Successor Housing Agency effective February 1, 2012. This fund represents the loans receivable for the First Time Home Buyers program, as well as a loan for the Senior Housing. At this time, income is limited for this fund. The loans from the Successor Agency may now be paid, but the amount is determined by a formula applied after all other required obligations have been paid.
Proprietary funds. The City of Brisbane’s statements on proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Utility Fund – The Unrestricted net position of the Utility Fund at year end was $2 million. This was a decrease of $1.2 million as a combination of the slight increase in charges for services offset by increases in costs of water purchases and sewer treatment.
Marina Fund – Fiscal year 2022/23 saw operating income slightly decrease by $15 thousand as berth rentals usage of live-aboard fees essentially remained steady. Operating expenses remained steady at $1.6 million.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
At mid-year, revenue estimates were adjusted by $4.4 million for anticipated increases in sales taxes as the first two quarters of taxes came in higher than projected; business license taxes came in higher including a catch-up payment for liquid storage business tax, increase in business activity and the hotel business license tax; licenses, permits and fees and charges for services were also increased with increased activity coming out of COVID. At mid-year, expense estimates were increased $560 thousand primarily to reflect several expenses that were missed during the adoption of the original budget, including the Low Income Rate Assistance subsidy to the Utility Fund, Co-Sponsorships and the annual transfer to the Vehicle Replacement Fund. Originally, we projected the use of $2.6 million from reserves (fund balance) to balance the budget. The mid-year adjustment projected a surplus of $670 thousand. The actual revenue exceeded the final budget by $2.3 million and expenses exceeded the final budget by $6.2 million leaving a decrease to fund balance of $3.2 million. The implementation of GASB 87 for Leases increased a one-time charge to capital outlay of $5.5 million which was not budgeted.
11
CAPITAL ASSETS
The City of Brisbane's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2023, amounts to $103.6 million (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, improvements, buildings and structures, machinery and equipment, infrastructure (streets, lighting, traffic signals), park facilities, sewer and water infrastructure (water tanks, sewer lift stations, pipes, force mains), and the marina. The total increase in the investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was $3.1 million. This reflects the implementation of GASB 87 for Leases which increased a one-time charge to capital outlay for Right of Use Leased Property and the change in construction in progress for various utility projects.
Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following:
• Improvements to Charging Stations at City Hall
• Resurfacing Project
• A/V system for Council Chambers
• Improvements to Childcare Module
• Retaining Wall on Solano

The total debt increased by $5.5 million during the current fiscal year to recognize the amendment to the lease contract for the City Hall Annex.
The City of Brisbane maintained an "A+" rating from Standard & Poor's at June 30, 2023. However, the bond rating was removed in late 2025 due to late submission of financial statements.
Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in Note 7 pages 54-60.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The City is part of the general San Francisco/Silicon Valley area which continues to see rising property values. There are a handful of businesses that make up a sizable portion of City revenues.
In addition, the City’s room tax revenues are generated by the two hotels located at Sierra Point. The City works together with the Chamber of Commerce on economic development.
Brisbane has one of the largest (over 500 acres) undeveloped commercial parcels of land remaining in San Mateo County.
This parcel is contiguous with the boundaries of the City/County of San Francisco and is located within seven minutes of the San Francisco International Airport. The development of this parcel is expected to take place over the next 30 years. In November 2018, Brisbane voters passed a measure that amended the City’s General Plan to allow for a range of 1,800 to 2,200 residential units and up to 7 million square feet of new commercial development. Next steps requires the preparation of a Specific Plan for the site to address several policies, including requiring the future development be revenue positive for the City; comply with the highest remediation standard for ground level residential uses; secure and adequate water supply; and incorporate sustainable principles. The developer has prepared and submitted a draft Specific Plan to the City. The City is preparing an environmental impact (EIR) for the Specific Plan. A Development Agreement between the Developer and the City will also be prepared and considered with the Specific Plan. While the related economic benefits to the City from the development of this parcel cannot be estimated at this time, it is anticipated to be significant, possibly capable of providing the City with future revenues.
There are sites within City limits at Sierra Point that have been purchased by developers and developments are at different stages. One site contains a five-building life science complex -- construction began in FY17/18 and the development is largely complete, with all five buildings being occupied under temporary occupancy approvals, with final permits expected by late 2024. A second site contains a three-building life science campus scheduled to complete construction on the third building by the end of 2023. Several additional sites were purchased by a developer who is proposing to construct additional buildings for life science. The environmental review process has been initiated and the related proposal is expected to be reviewed by the City Planning Commission and City Council in 2024. The owner of the last undeveloped site at Sierra Point has filed an application to construct a hotel/life science complex. An environmental review is under preparation, and public hearings are expected to commence in early 2024. 13
In the November 2019 election, the City voters approved an increase in its business license tax collections with several initiatives including a tax on the cannabis industry based on gross receipts, changing methodology for the basis of tax on liquid storage tanks, and an increase on tax on recycling establishments. In January 2020, City Council established business license tax rates to be imposed on cannabis businesses in anticipation of growth in this industry within City limits. In November 2022, The City voters approved a Sales Use Tax of 1/2 cent and Hotel Business License tax which both went into effect in January 2023.
The City made strategic decisions in response to the recession of the late 2000s that helped the City manage through the economic impact of COVID-19. This included establishing several reserves to set aside funds for specific long-term programs and unexpected expenditures to avoid significant impact to the General Fund for one-time or emergency events. Although the COVID-19 pandemic impacted every section of the state and local economy, the City continues to see increases in revenues, including sales taxes and property taxes, and is well-positioned to tap into established reserves as needed.
CONTACTING THE CITY’S FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position reports the excess of the City’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources over the City’s total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, including all the City’s capital assets and all its long-term debt. The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of all of the City’s Governmental Activities in a single column, and the financial position of all of the City’s Business-Type Activities in a single column; these are followed by a total column which presents the financial position of the entire City.
The City’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. The City’s Business-Type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities, which includes the Utility Fund (Water, Sewer, and GVMID) and Marina Enterprise Fund.
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 businesstype program. The City’s general revenues are then listed in the Governmental Activities or BusinessType Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
JUNE 30, 2023
Total fund balances reported on the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet $25,411,990 Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Net Position are different from those reported in the Governmental Funds above because of the following:
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets used in Governmental Activities are not current assets or financial resources and therefore are not reported in the Governmental Funds 71,223,745
ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND NET POSITION
Internal service funds are not governmental funds. However, they are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as insurance and central services and maintenance to individual governmental funds.

Cash and investments 2,327,920
Accounts and interest receivable 109,264
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (38,199)
Accrued payroll (230,014)

Revenues which are unavailable on the Fund Balance Sheets because they are not available currently are taken into revenue in the Statement of Activities. 2,882,942
LONG-TERM ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The assets and liabilities below are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the Funds:
Net pension liability, deferred outflows and deferred inflows (17,828,318) Long-term debt (18,458,282)

Reconciliation of the
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
with the STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
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 $1,236,448 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because of the following:
CAPITAL ASSETS TRANSACTIONS
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 capitalized expenditures are therefore added back to fund balance 5,971,494 Depreciation expense is deducted from the fund balance (2,085,797)
LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but in the Statement of Net Position the repayment reduces long-term liabilities.
Proceeds from leases (5,544,819)
Repayments of debt principal and interest are added back to fund balance 1,043,999 Pension related expenses 2,500,389
OPEB related expenses (7,733)
ACCRUAL OF NON-CURRENT ITEMS
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):
Accrued interest on long-term debt 587
Compensated absences 212,597
ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ACTIVITY
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as equipment acquisition, maintenance, and insurance to individual funds.
The portion of the net revenue (expense) of these Internal Service Funds arising out of their transactions with governmental funds is reported with governmental activities, because they service those activities.

PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Proprietary funds account for City operations financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise. The intent of the City is that the cost of providing goods and services be financed primarily through user charges.
The concept of major funds established by GASB Statement 34 extends to Proprietary Funds. The City has identified the funds below as major enterprise funds in fiscal 2023.
GASB 34 does not provide for the disclosure of budget vs. actual comparison regarding proprietary funds that are major funds.
Utility Fund is comprised of the following services:
Water
Represents expenses incurred in the purchase and distribution of water to City residents and businesses; water users support this activity through payment of water billings which are rendered based on read meters.
Sewer
Represents expenses incurred in the collection and pumping of sewage waste to the City of San Francisco Sewer Treatment Plant where it is treated and discharged to the bay; sewer users support this activity through payment of sewer service billings.
Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District
Represents expenses related to providing water, sewer, and other municipal services to businesses and residents located within the district boundaries. Revenues to support this activity are derived from property taxes, water, and sewer billings and special assessments.
Marina Enterprise Fund
This fund accounts for expenses incurred in the operation and maintenance of a boat harbor and marina; berth rentals provide the source of revenue to support this activity.
Internal Service Funds
These funds are used to account for interdepartmental operations where it is the stated intent that costs of providing services to the departments of the City on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily by charges to the user departments.

FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Fiduciary funds are presented separately from the Government-wide and Fund financial statements. The City had the following types of fiduciary funds in fiscal year 2023:
Private Purpose Trust Fund
This fund is used to account for resources legally held in trust for special purposes.
Custodial Funds
These funds are custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of results of operations. They are used to account for assets held in a custodial capacity for others and therefore cannot be used to support the City’s program.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City was incorporated on November 27, 1961, under the General Laws of the State of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges pertaining to such “General Law” cities. The City uses the City Council/Manager form of government. The financial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary government, the City, (b) organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the primary government is not accountable, but for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
The financial statements and accounting policies of the City conform with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to governments. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. Significant accounting policies are summarized below:
A. Reporting Entity
The accompanying basic financial statements present the financial activity of the City, which is the primary government presented, along with the financial activities of its component units, which are entities for which the City is financially accountable. Although they are separate legal entities, blended component units are in substance part of the City’s operations and are reported as an integral part of the City’s financial statements. The term City, as used in this report, refers to the City and its component units as a consolidated entity. The City’s component units, which are described below, are all blended. • Brisbane Public Financing Authority (Authority)
• Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District (District) • Brisbane – Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District Finance Authority (B/GVM District)
Brisbane Public Financing Authority was formed on April 8, 1991, by and between the City and the former Redevelopment Agency (Agency) of the City. The Authority was created for the purpose of providing financing of public capital improvements for the City and the Former Agency. The Authority has the power to issue bonds to pay the cost of any public capital improvement. The Authority has no independent staff and consequently is dependent upon the City’s officers and employees. The Governing Board of the Authority is comprised of the members of the City Council of the City and the members of the Board of the Former Agency.
Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District was formed as an enterprise activity in May 1990. The purpose of the District is to provide capital and infrastructure improvements to residents of the area. The members of the City Council act as the governing body of the District.
Brisbane – Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District Finance Authority was formed as a financing activity in September 2014. The purpose of the B/GVM District is to provide a financing mechanism for residents of the area. The members of the City Council act as the governing body of the B/GVM District.

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 Government Accounting Standards Board is the acknowledged standard-setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the U.S.A.
These Statements require that the financial statements described below be presented.
Government-Wide Financial Statements: The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the primary government (the City) and its 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. 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 specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function.
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 blended component units and fiduciary funds. 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 fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) C. Major Funds
The City’s major governmental and business-type funds are identified and presented separately in the fund financial statements. All other funds, called non-major funds, are combined and reported in a single column, regardless of their fund types.
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their fund-type total and five percent of the grand total. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
General Fund - The General Fund is established to account for the revenues and expenditures to carry out basic governmental activities of the City such as general government, public safety, parks and recreation and public works. This fund accounts for all financial transactions not accounted for in the other funds.
Low/Mod Income Housing Assets Special Revenue Fund - This fund accounts for the activities related to the housing assets assumed by the City as Housing Successor to the former Redevelopment Agency. The activities are governed by California redevelopment law and must be used to provide housing for people with low and moderate incomes.
Capital Projects Fund - This fund was established to track all non-major construction and capital projects. Project budgets carryover year to year until completed.
The City reported all of its enterprise funds as major funds:
Utility Enterprise Fund - This fund accounts for revenues and expenses incurred for the water, sewer and Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District.
Marina Enterprise Fund - This fund accounts for expenses incurred in the operation and maintenance of a boat harbor and marina; berth rentals provide the source of revenue to support this activity.
Internal Service Funds account for activities related to dental self-insurance, fringe benefits, flexible benefits, workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle replacement, facilities maintenance and other post-employment benefits (OPEB).
Fiduciary Funds financial statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The City's fiduciary funds represent custodial funds and private-purpose trust funds and are accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement focus. The private-purpose trust funds are used to account for resources legally held in trust for special purposes. The Custodial funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations. Both types of the funds are accounted for using accrual basis of accounting.

CITY OF BRISBANE
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide and proprietary 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 governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Governmental acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of governmental long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property, sales, transient occupancy and franchise taxes, special assessments, licenses for services and interest revenue. Fines, permits, and charges for services are not susceptible to accrual because they are not measurable until received in cash.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include taxes, grants, entitlements, 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 may fund programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be available to finance program expenditures. The City’s policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.
Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and activities.
E. Interest Payable
In the Government-Wide Financial Statements, interest payable of long-term debt is recognized as the liability is incurred.
In the fund financial statements, proprietary fund types recognize the interest payable when the liability is incurred.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) F. Compensated Absences
The City’s compensated absences include regular vacation, compensatory time-off, and personal leave. Employees earn varying amounts of vacation depending upon continuous tenure with the City. Use of vacation may be deferred to the following year, but the total amount of vacation may not exceed two years annual accrual without City Manager approval.
Vested compensated absence amounts are payable upon the employee’s separation from employment. Compensated absences for governmental activities are recorded as current and non-current in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. For proprietary funds, current and non-current liabilities for compensated absences are recorded as expenses in the GovernmentWide Financial Statements and the Fund Financial Statements.
The change in compensated absences was as follows at June 30, 2023:

Non-current Portion $ 666,487 $ 67,583 $ 734,070
G. Property Taxes
Under California law, secured property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1% of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas.
Lien Date January 1
Levy Date July 1
Due Date November 1 and February 1
Collection Date December 10 and April 10
Property taxes levied are recorded as revenue when received, in the fiscal year of levy, because of the adoption of the “alternate method of property tax distribution,” known as the Teeter Plan, by the City and the County of San Mateo. The Teeter Plan authorizes the Auditor/Controller of the County of San Mateo to allocate 100% of the secured property taxes billed, but not yet paid.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) H. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the basic financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In addition, estimates affect the reported amount of expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
I. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position or balance sheet reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets or fund balance 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 net position or balance sheet reports a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
J. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS and PARS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
K. Other Post-Employment Benefits Other than Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense and information about the fiduciary net position of the City Retiree Benefits Plan (the Plan) and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the Plan recognizes benefits payments when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) L. Fair Value Measurements
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 valuation techniques used to measure 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 prices 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. New Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Implementation GASB Statement No. 91 – In May 2019, 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 issuers, (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 for accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments extended by issuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note disclosures. The provisions of this Statement were implemented during fiscal year 2023. The implementation had no effect on the financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 94 – In March 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements. The primary objective of this Statement 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.
