Management’s Discussion and Analysis
4 OVERVIEW OF THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT This Annual Comprehensive Financial Report has three major parts:
1) Introductory section, which includes general information; 2) Financial section, which includes the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (current section), the Basic Financial Statements, which include the Government-wide and the Fund Financial Statements along with the notes to these financial statements, and Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules.
3) Statistical section, which includes detailed information as a context for understanding what the information in the financial statements and footnotes says about the City's overall financial health.
The Basic Financial Statements
The Basic Financial Statements are comprised of the Government-wide Financial Statements and the Fund Financial Statements. These two sets of financial statements provide two different views of the City’s financial activities and financial position.
The Government-wide Financial Statements
The Government-wide Financial Statements provide a broad overview of the City’s activities as a whole and comprise the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. The Statement of Net Position provides information about the financial position of the City as a whole, including all its capital assets and long-term liabilities on the full accrual basis, similar to that used by corporations. The Statement of Activities provides information about all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, also on the full accrual basis, with emphasis on measuring net revenues or expenses of each of the City’s programs. The Statement of Activities explains in detail the change in Net Position for the year.
All the amounts in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are separated into Governmental Activities and Business-type Activities in order to provide a summary of these two activities of the City as a whole, as explained below.
♦ Governmental activities – All of the City’s basic services are considered to be governmental activities, including general government, community development, culture and leisure, public safety, and public works. These services are supported by general City revenues such as taxes, state grants and by specific program revenues such as developer fees. ♦ Business-type activities – All of the City’s enterprise activities are reported here, including Water and Wastewater. Unlike governmental services, these services are supported by charges paid by users based on the amount of the service they use.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
5 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, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be sorted 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 near-term inflows and outflows 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 the Governmental Fund Financial Statements is narrower than that of the Governmentwide 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 Statement. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financial 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 Governmental Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds, called major funds. The concept of major funds, and the determination of which are major funds, was established by GASB Statement No. 34 and replaces the concept of combining like funds and presenting them as one total. Instead, each major fund is presented individually, with all non-major funds summarized and presented only in a single column. Subordinate schedules present the detail of these nonmajor funds. Major funds present the major activities of the City for the year and may change from year to year as a result of changes in the pattern of the City’s activities.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City’s major funds are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS:
General Fund
Housing Fund
Capital Improvement Fund
PROPRIETARY FUNDS:
Water Enterprise Fund
Wastewater Enterprise Fund
Proprietary funds. The City maintains Enterprise-type proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for Water and Wastewater operations. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the Government-wide Financial Statements, only in more detail.

6 Notes to the Basic 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 basic financial statements can be found on pages 37- 62 of this report.
Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund statements can be found on pages 74-81 of this report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, Net Position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflow of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $57,984,350 for the period ending June 30, 2025, a 5.1% increase from the prior fiscal year.
The largest portion (63.7%) of the City’s net position reflects its investment of $37.0 million in capital assets (land, building and improvements, equipment and infrastructure, net of accumulated depreciation). The City uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
About $2.7 million (4.7%) of the City’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be expended. These restrictions include Housing and Streets, Roads and Transportation, and Capital Expansion.
About $18.3 million of the net position (31.6%) is unrestricted and may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Of this amount, $6.1 million is held by the business-type activities and $12.2 million held by the governmental activities.
The statement of activities shows how the City’s net position changed during fiscal year 2024-25 compared to the prior fiscal year. The City’s net position increased overall by about $2.8 million during the fiscal year, which shows the City’s financial health is better than the previous year.
The tables on the following pages present a summary of net changes of the City’s net position as of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024.

Revenues
The City’s total revenue for governmental and business-type activities was $18,139,721 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Total revenue from government-type activities were $13,437,025. Approximately 88.9%, or $11,949,144 of the City’s key governmental revenue is generated from four major sources: Sales, property, transient occupancy taxes, and grants and contributions. Revenues are reported in two categories: Program Revenues and General Revenues.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
9 Program revenues are derived from the City’s functional programs and consist primarily of charges for services, including recreation and park reservation fees, along with revenues from grants and capital contributions. Total program revenue for governmental and business-type activities decreased by $349,149 (4.8%) from the prior fiscal year, resulting in total program revenue of $6,955,447.
1. Charges for Services – Governmental and Business-Type Activities Operating – Governmental charges for services experienced a slight decline during the fiscal year, primarily due to the deferral of the AT&T tower lease in April 2024 and reduced recreation center revenues. The recreation center generated fewer program sales as summer camp participation was limited by smaller operating capacity, which resulted in lower overall revenue. Business-type activities, which are generated from water and wastewater operations, reported an increase in operating revenues of $155,656 (4.0%) during the fiscal year. The increase is primarily attributable to higher service usage resulting from dry weather conditions, as water and wastewater rates have remained unchanged since 2018. Charges include both fixed and variable charges based on customer consumption Grants and Contributions – Governmental and Business-Type Activities Operating – Grants continue to be a consistent source of revenue for public works uses under Business and Governmental-type activities. Operating grant revenue for governmental activities decreased by $878,525 (29.2%), primarily due to the timing and completion of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funded projects. Total ARPA funding amounted to approximately $1.2 million, with the majority expended in the prior fiscal year and the remaining funds used to complete eligible infrastructure projects by December 31, 2024. Grant revenues for business-type activities reflected an increase in capital grants and contributions during the fiscal year. Capital grants and contributions increased by $409,272 (497.2%), largely attributable to water and Wastewater connection fees associated with future development activity.
General Revenues are derived of revenues that do not meet the requirement of program revenues, most of which is revenue from taxes. The following discusses variances in key revenues from the prior fiscal year:
1. Sales and Use Taxes – Sales tax revenue totaled $3,555,567 for a decrease of $59,433 (1.6%) from the previous fiscal year. Sales tax revenue was mostly lower reflecting declines in fuel, construction, business-industry, and restaurant/hotel sectors, while growth in autos, transportation, and countywide use-tax pools partially offset the overall decrease. Broader economic factors, including tariffs, interest rates, and regional GDP trends, also influenced local sales, although anticipated price increases and inflation had little effect.
2. Secured and Unsecured Property Taxes – Property tax revenues recorded in the governmental fund totaled $2,048,514 for an increase of $161,609 (8.6%). The City’s ongoing share of property tax is expected to grow at a steady rate as the assessed property values continue to increase and with future development.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
10 3. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) – Governmental Activities Operating –This revenue source is a key contributor to the City’s General Fund. Voters approved Measure D during the November 2024 election, which increased the TOT rate from 12% to 14%. The City Council authorized the rate change to become effective February 1, 2025. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, TOT revenue totaled $4,214,770, representing a decrease of $6,189 (1.6%) from the prior fiscal year. While overall revenue declined slightly, average hotel occupancy increased in FY 2024–25 compared to FY 2023–24. The modest revenue decrease is primarily attributable to lower average room rates, with the effect partially offset by both the increased occupancy and the voter-approved rate increase.
Despite the modest decline, TOT revenue in recent years has remained above the pre-pandemic level of approximately $3.1 million reported in fiscal year 2018–19. Revenue reached a historic high of approximately $4.3 million in fiscal year 2021–22, driven by higher occupancy levels and increased average hotel room rates. Average monthly occupancy rates were 69% in FY 2024–25, 64% in FY 2023–24, 68% in FY 2022–23, and 70% in FY 2021–22.
Expenses
Governmental and business-type activity expenses of the City for the year totaled $15,321,490.
Governmental activity expenses totaled $10,769,998 (70.3% of total expenses). Business-type activities incurred $4,551,492 of expenses (29.7% of total expenses).
Governmental Activities
The table on the following page shows the cost of each of the City’s major programs and the net cost of the programs. Net cost is the total cost less fees and other direct revenue generated by the activities. The net cost reflects the financial burden that was placed on the City’s taxpayers by each of the programs.
Public Safety total cost of $3,259,406 represents about 30.3% of total governmental activities expenses, the largest expense category for governmental activities. General Government total cost of $2,827,264 represents about 26.3% of total cost of services. The largest single expense category for total net cost of service is Public Safety with a net cost of $2,999,907 which represents 36.0% of the total net cost. The second largest expense category for total net cost of service is General Government with a net cost of $2,682,150 which represents
32.2% of total net cost. The total cost of services and the net cost of services for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, follows on the next page.

13 Business-type activities
Business-type activities increased the City’s Net Position to $13,469,324 from $13,050,084 the previous fiscal year. The City has two business-type activities: Water and Wastewater. Water accounts for 68.0% of total business-type activity operating revenue, and Wastewater accounts for 32.0%.
Total business-type revenues for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025 was $4,702,696, an increase of $562,604 (13.6%) from the prior fiscal year. Charges for services experienced an increase of $ 151,120 (3.9%) from the prior fiscal year. The increase for charges for current services for the Water Fund of $137,357 (5.2%) was influenced by water consumption. The increase for the Wastewater Fund of $13,763 (1.1%) was due to wastewater usage.
Other operating revenue increased by $4,536 (117.9%). Increase was due to an insurance payout for a damaged City vehicle. Business-type interest income decreased by $2,324 (1.2%) from the prior fiscal year.
The decrease was due to several rate cuts during the fiscal year.
Expenses of the business-type activities for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025, totaled $4,466,903, an increase of $510,851 (12.9%) from the prior fiscal year. Of the total increases in expenses from the prior fiscal year, Water Fund expenses increased $368,500 (17.5%), and Wastewater Fund expenses increased $142,351 (36.9%).
Personnel services decreased $215,864 (18.1%) from the previous fiscal year. The increase was mostly due to GASB 68 adjustments for CalPERS retirement employer contributions and Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) adjustments. GASB 68 and GASB 75 require the City to report its full pension and retiree benefit obligations, such as healthcare, on financial statements for greater transparency. These adjustments highlight long-term costs but do not change actual expenses or impact the City's ability to provide services. While they may cause financial statement fluctuations, they do not affect daily operations. Actual employee salary and benefit amounts increased by $48,824 (5.3%). The increase is due to a 3.94% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for full-time employees effective July 1, 2024.
Operations and maintenance expenses increased by $458,252 (19.9%) from the previous fiscal year.
Depreciation expense increased by $268,463 (58.0%). Non-Operating expenses also remained steady with a decrease of $7,841 (10.2%).

16 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS
The City of Buellton uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The fund financial statements focus on individual parts of the City government, reporting the City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide financial statements.
Governmental funds
The focus of the City of Buellton's governmental funds is to provide information on near term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Buellton's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At June 30, 2025, the City of Buellton's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $17,120,541, a decrease of $272,293 (1.6%) in comparison with the prior fiscal year ending fund balance.
Approximately 87.0% of the total combined ending fund balance ($14,887,531) constitutes unassigned fund balance. The remainder of fund balance is “non-spendable,” or restricted to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed to fund amounts prepaid for the following fiscal year ($38,915) and restricted by other parties for a specific purpose ($2,194,095).
Total governmental revenue decreased slightly by $31,838 (0.2%) and governmental expenditures increased $1,961,384 (16.9%).
The majority of the $1.96 million increase in governmental expenditures is in Capital Outlay expenditures with an increase of $1.67 million (83.0%) due to the completion and current construction of capital improvement projects during the fiscal year.
General Fund
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Buellton and accounts for all financial resources not required to be accounted for in another fund.
The total fund balance in the General Fund is $15,069,057 of which $15,017,976 is shown as “unassigned.” As a measure of liquidity, it is useful to compare both total fund balance and spendable fund balance to total fund expenditures. Total General Fund balance which is available in spendable form equals 154.2% of total General Fund expenditures of $9,740,247. The City Council policy goal is to have reserves of at least 35% of budgeted operating expenditures, which means the City’s unrestricted fund balance exceeds policy goal.
The fund balance of the City of Buellton's General Fund decreased by $360,079 (2.3%) from the prior fiscal year. General Fund revenues totaled $12,266,578 which was an increase of $462,942 (3.9%) over the prior fiscal year. General Fund expenditures increased $833,885 (9.4%) compared to the prior fiscal year.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
17 Changes in General Fund Revenue
The increase in General Fund Revenue was primarily driven by a $383,899 (3.9%) rise in revenue from taxes, largely due to the additional TOT tax revenue generated from the increase in the occupancy tax rate from 12 % to 14 % effective February 1, 2025. Intergovernmental revenue increased by $59,884 (6.5%) due to a grant received from the Office of Transportation Safety (OTS) that supported bike safety initiatives. These increases were partially offset by minor declines in Charges for Current Services, which were lower than the prior year due to reduced Summar Camp capacity. Overall, revenue performance reflects stable economic activity with targeted growth in tax and intergovernmental sources.
Changes in General Fund Expenditures
Total General Fund Expenditures, exclusive of transfers out, were approximately $9.74 million at the fiscal year-end. Expenditures increased compared to the prior fiscal year primarily due to higher personnel costs and contractual services. Employee Services increased by $129,807 (5.33 %), reflecting a 3.94 % cost-ofliving adjustment for full-time employees, a merit adjustment for the City Manager, and the addition of one Administrative Assistant position. Operating and Maintenance expenditures increased by $528,079 (8.17 %), driven by higher Sheriff contract costs, expenditures associated with the General Plan Update, roof replacements at City facilities, park maintenance activities, and increased support for the Senior Center’s Meals-on-Wheels program. Overall expenditure growth reflects continued investment in core municipal services and long-term planning initiatives.
Other Financing Uses – Transfers Out
Transfers out are reported separately as Other Financing Uses in the governmental fund statements.
During fiscal year 2024-25, the General Fund transferred approximately $2.97 million to support capital improvement projects. This represents an increase of approximately $1.52 million over the prior year and reflects the City’s strategic use of available General Fund resources to fund infrastructure improvements.
Major capital projects supported through transfers included the Willemsen House Renovation, McMurray Road Widening, and various roadway and facility improvements. These transfers demonstrate the City’s commitment to maintaining and improving public infrastructure while preserving long-term fiscal sustainability
Major Funds, not including General Fund
Housing Fund, with a fund balance of $10,862 had a negative change in fund balance of $655 (5.7%) due to the expenditure of assistance with senior mobile home roof repair. Capital Improvement Fund, with a fund balance of $0, had no net change. This fund is used for tracking capital improvement project expenditures and the amount of transfers in and out are equal.
Other Governmental Funds
American Relief Plan Act (ARPA Fund), with a fund balance of $33,455 had no change as funds have been mostly expended in prior fiscal years except for the remaining unused cash.

Proprietary funds
The City of Buellton's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the governmentwide financial statements, but reported activities that operate like a business and are primarily supported by customer fees.
As of June 30, 2025 total Net Position for the Water Fund was $10,888,516 an increase of $892,388 (8.9%) over last fiscal year. Unrestricted Net Position amounted to $5,791,359 an increase of $411,693 (7.7%).
The Net Investment in Water Capital Assets amounted to $5,097,157 an increase of $480,695 (10.4%).
The overall net change in the Net Position for the Water Fund is primarily due to revenue from charges for services and increase in deferred inflows of resources.
As of June 30, 2025, total Net Position for the Wastewater Fund was $2,580,808 a decrease of $473,148 (15.5%) over the last fiscal year. Unrestricted Net Position amounted to $335,259, a decrease of $314,621 (48.4%). The Net Investment in Wastewater Capital Assets amounted to $2,245,549, a decrease of $158,527 (6.6%). The overall net change in the Net Position for the Wastewater Fund is primarily due to deferred inflows of resources and decrease in capital assets.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
In FY 2024-25, appropriation changes between the original and final budgets resulted to a decrease of approximately $6.19 million, shifting from a planned increase if $864,595 in the original budget a planned decrease of $5.3 million in the final budget. The change was primarily attributed to increased transfers to support capital improvement activities and mid-year operational adjustments. The General Fund exceeded revenue projections while expenditures were within appropriations. Historically, the City has not expended all appropriations and does not complete all budgeted capital projects, which creates budget savings. The unspent capital project appropriations are carried over into the new fiscal year.
Overall, actual revenue exceeded expenditures by $2.52 million. The actual net negative change in Fund Balance is $360,079. Following is a summary of General Fund Budget variances for the period ending June 30, 2025.

SUMMARY OF GENERAL FUND BUDGET VARIANCES
Changes from Original Budget to Final Budget
The City of Buellton adopts a biennial budget that serves as the foundation for financial planning and resource allocation. The FY 2024-25 budget was adopted as part of the FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 Biennial Budget and was subsequently amended during the first quarter and mid-year review to reflect updated revenue projections, grant activity, capital funding adjustments, and operational requirements identified during the fiscal year.
Budget amendments are periodically presented to the City Council to ensure appropriations remain aligned with economic conditions, infrastructure priorities, and service delivery needs.
Revenue changes from the original budget to final budget equals $949,190 (8.6%). Significant revenue adjustments included:
$299,288 increase in tax revenues, primarily attributable to updated TOT projections from the TOT rate increase.
$260,886 increase in intergovernmental revenues reflecting grant awards and reimbursements. $392,000 increase in use of money and property due to higher-than-anticipated investment earnings resulting from elevated interest rates and strong cash portfolio performance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
20 Expenditure changes from the original budget to the final budget increased from $9,082,177 to $10,484,243, an increase of $1,402,066 (15.4%). The increase was attributed across several functional areas. Most of the increase was in Public Safety function with an increase of $395,623 (13.8%). The increase was largely a result of contractual law enforcement cost adjustments with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff Department, equipment and vehicle-related costs. These costs reflect service-level maintenance rather than expansion.
General government appropriations increased by $314,694 (12.7%) primarily due to personnel and benefit cost updates, election-related expenses for a District 4 special election, and technology and equipment upgrades.
Community Development appropriations increased by $199,816 (25.7%) to support expanded contract planning services and staffing adjustments necessary to maintain service levels.
Public Works appropriations increased by $392,249 (20.6%) to address facility maintenance, including roof repairs at 202 Dairyland Road, irrigation and landscaping improvements, vehicle maintenance, software and IT installation, and acquisition of traffic and message trailer equipment.
Capital outlay adjustments included equipment purchases and technology improvements, several of which were one-time in nature. Overall, many of the mid-year expenditure adjustments were either nonrecurring or related to timing of operational and infrastructure needs rather than structural cost increases.
Transfers out increased significantly by $5,746,262 (554.9%). This increase reflects strategic funding allocations to support the City’s Capital Improvement Program, including transportation projects, water and wastewater infrastructure, park improvements, and grant-funded initiatives. These transfers represent planned long-term infrastructure investment decisions rather than operating cost growth.
Changes from Final Budget to Actuals
The City reported $335,081 (2.8%) more in revenue than projected, with the majority of this increase attributed to revenue from taxes, reflecting a significant budget variance of $220,004 (2.2%). This increase is due to additional TOT revenue received from the TOT rate increase. Favorable variances were a result of continued strength in investment earnings, and higher than anticipated revenues from fines, permits, and fee revenues. These results reflect stable economic conditions and conservative revenue projections practices.
Actual General Fund expenditures totaled $9,740,247, which was $743,996 (7.1%) below the final budget.
Favorable variances were realized across several functional areas, including Community Development, Public Works, Cultural and Leisure Services, Public Safety, and General Government. These savings were largely attributable to personnel vacancies, timing of project implementation, delayed contract services,

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
21 and prudent expenditure management throughout the fiscal year. Although debt service expenditures exceeded budgeted amounts, the variance was not material relative to total General Fund expenditures.
Transfers Out from the General Fund saw budget savings of approximately $3.80 million (56.1%) due to capital improvement projects that were either not initiated or not yet completed. Historically, transfers for capital projects are carried over into the subsequent fiscal year. Additional savings resulted from deferred repair, maintenance expenditures, and savings from current service contracts.
CAPITAL ASSETS
The City of Buellton's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2025 amounts to $41,007,835 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and improvements, equipment, and infrastructure. The total increase in the City's investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was $3,182,074. Of the total increase, governmental activities showed an increase of $2,785,356 resulting from an increase in net depreciable capital assets. An increase of $396,718 in Business-type activities capital assets is the net result of ongoing projects offset by depreciation.

DEBT ADMINISTRATION
As of June 30, 2025, the City had about $8.31 million of outstanding long-term obligations related to governmental activities and business-type activities. The City has no general obligation or revenue bonds.
Buellton enjoys a relatively healthy local economy; however, it does not currently have a bond rating because it has zero bonded debt on its balance sheet. When the City decides to go to Wall Street to sell bonds for future infrastructure improvements for Water or Wastewater systems, the City will go before Moody’s Investor Service or Fitch’s Rating Service for a credit rating. There is a definite need to update the user fees for Water and Wastewater services. An adequate multi-year rate management program will provide the best opportunity for obtaining an investment-grade credit rating for the City of Buellton in the future.
Debt outstanding as of June 30, 2025, with a comparison to prior fiscal year and the net change are as follows:

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The City of Buellton’s local economy remains stable and regionally competitive, supported primarily by tourism activity, regional market, and sustained property valuation growth within the Santa Ynez Valley.
The City concluded fiscal year 2024–25 in a strong financial position, with a General Fund balance of $15.07 million and total General Fund cash reserves of $15.04 million. With budgeted operating expenditures of approximately $12.2 million for the upcoming fiscal year, available reserves represent approximately 81.21 % of annual operating expenditures, providing substantial financial flexibility and risk mitigation capacity.
The City’s three primary General Fund revenue sources, TOT ($4.21 million), Sales Tax ($3.55 million), and Property Tax ($2.04 million), collectively account for a significant portion of ongoing revenues and are closely tied to regional economic conditions.
TOT revenues continue to benefit from the City’s strategic location along the U.S. Highway 101 corridor and proximity to regional tourism destinations. Recent collections have remained strong; however, this revenue source is inherently sensitive to travel patterns, fuel prices, consumer confidence, and broader economic cycles. A voter-approved TOT rate increase that became effective in early calendar year 2025 will have its first full-year fiscal impact in the upcoming fiscal year. Projected TOT revenues include both steady tourism activity and the full-year impact of the rate adjustment. While the rate increase strengthens the City’s revenue capacity and enhances long-term fiscal sustainability, actual collections will continue to depend on sustained tourism activity and broader economic conditions.
Sales Tax revenues reflect stable local and regional consumer spending patterns. While current performance remains consistent with prior years, moderating inflation, potential shifts in discretionary spending, and broader economic conditions may influence future growth rates. Property Tax revenues are projected to increase modestly, primarily due to annual assessed valuation growth and limited new development activity.
The Water and Wastewater Funds continue to face cost escalation related to infrastructure rehabilitation, regulatory compliance requirements, energy costs, and general operating inflation. Recently adopted rate adjustments are expected to enhance long-term cost recovery and financial sustainability; however, planned capital improvement needs and aging infrastructure will require continued prudent reserve management and multi-year financial planning.

Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2025
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
23 Expenditure trends indicate continued upward pressure in several key areas. Contracted law enforcement services represent a significant and increasing cost driver within the General Fund. Pension contributions associated with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) unfunded accrued liabilities, along with Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) obligations, are projected to increase in accordance with actuarial valuations and statewide funding policies. In addition, compliance with expanding State mandates related to housing, environmental regulation, and transportation planning may require additional staffing resources or professional services expenditures in future periods The City continues to emphasize conservative revenue forecasting practices and structural budget balance. The City Council’s adopted financial policy of maintaining an unassigned General Fund balance equal to at least 35 % of operating expenditures provides a formal safeguard against economic volatility and unforeseen events. Current reserve levels significantly exceed this policy threshold, positioning the City to manage cyclical revenue fluctuations while maintaining service levels.
Management will continue to monitor tourism indicators, regional economic activity, inflationary trends, pension cost projections, and State regulatory developments. Financial plans will be adjusted as necessary to preserve long-term fiscal sustainability. Overall, while near-term economic conditions remain favorable and structurally strengthened by the recent TOT rate adjustment, the City recognizes the cyclical nature of tourism and consumption-based revenues and the structural cost pressures facing municipal governments. Accordingly, the City remains committed to prudent fiscal management, maintaining adequate reserves, and ensuring long-term financial stability.
NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETED APPROPRIATIONS
Total appropriations for fiscal year 2025-26 are $30,434,683, an increase of $3,844,661 (14.45%) over the prior fiscal year total of $26,590,022, as summarized below. CIP expenditures are shown in the Citywide CIP row of the chart for consistent comparison:

1. General Fund – Shows an increase of $1,774,904 (16.82%). The increase in General Fund appropriations reflects workforce retention initiatives, service enhancements and select one-time investments. Key drivers include:
Personnel Costs: Employee services increased about $432,613 (16.5%) due to 5.0% costof-living adjustment for full-time employees, market and merit-based salary adjustments for Department Heads and lead positions, and the addition of a full-time Administrative Analyst.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
24 Contracted Public Safety: Addition of a motor deputy under the Sheriff contract, increasing costs by $224,200 (11.8%).
Library: Increased contributions of $78,674 (34.3%) due to contract renewal and reserve funding.
Public Works: Facility upgrades, equipment replacement, and other operational improvements increased costs by $233,898 (17.3%).
Non-Departmental: $500,000 contribution to the Santa Ynez Valley Children’s Museum, $62,778 (147.2%) increase in nonprofit funding, and $183,815 discretionary CalPERS payment.
2. Water & Wastewater Funds – Shows an increase of $898,222 (16.47%). Water and Wastewater Fund increases are primarily attributable to transfers for infrastructure rehabilitation and system improvements. In addition, Employee Services experienced a significant increase in both funds primarily due to salary and benefit increases. These increases reflect the City’s commitment to maintaining a skilled workforce capable of supporting the community’s water and wastewater infrastructure.
3. Citywide Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund – The CIP Fund expenditures relate to Capital Improvement Projects. CIP fund shows an increase of about $1,169,035 (11.34%). Historically, the City does not complete all budgeted projects within a fiscal year, and these projects are carried over to the next fiscal year. Planned projects for the upcoming fiscal year include the completion of the Willemsen property parking facility, SCADA system upgrades, and reservoir roof replacements, all of which are expected to enhance operational capacity and support ongoing growth objectives.
4. Special Revenue Funds – Expenditures increased by $2,500 (0.92%). Special revenue funds remain restricted and expenditures consistent.
Quarterly reports will be presented to support the financial management of City resources to provide information to the City Council and public. As part of the mid-year budget review, the City prepares a report on financial position, considers economic factors and highlights trends based on the City’s budget versus what actually occurred during the period. A discussion of other economic factors provides a means of comparing the local economy against the larger economic events that may affect the City. This provides Council with a budget review at four periods during the year. Council has a better control of costs, while identifying financial requirements prior to the close of the fiscal year. Modifications to the original budget take place each quarter as needed.

CITY OF BUELLTON
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2025
38 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The reporting entity is the City of Buellton. There are no component units included in this report that meet the reporting entity definition criteria of GASB Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, as amended by GASB Statement No. 39, GASB Statement No. 61, GASB Statement No. 80, and GASB Statement No. 90.
The City of Buellton (City) was incorporated in 1992, under the laws and regulations of the State of California (State). The City operates under a City Council/Manager form of government and provides the following services: public safety (Police and Fire), highways and streets, water service, wastewater, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administration.
B. Basis of Presentation
The City’s basic financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States of America.
Government-wide Statements
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the primary government (the City). These statements include the financial activities of the overall City government.
Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities although interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. Government activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non-exchange transactions.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment 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 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 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. Separate statements for each fund category (governmental and proprietary) are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
Proprietary fund financial statements include: a Statement of Net Position; a Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position; and a Statement of Cash Flows for all proprietary funds.
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or non-current) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned, while expenses are recognized in the period in which liability is incurred.

39 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) B. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are those revenues that are generated from the primary operation of the fund. All other revenues are reported as non-operating revenues. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as non-operating expenses.
C. Major Funds
GASB Statement No. 34 defines major funds and requires that the City’s major funds are identified and presented separately in the fund financial statements. All other funds, called nonmajor funds, are combined and reported in a single column in the Fund Statements as Other Governmental Funds, regardless of their fund-type.
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets plus deferred outflows, liabilities plus deferred inflows, revenues, or expenditures/expenses at least ten percent of their fund-type total or at least five percent of the total for all funds. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also voluntarily 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 – Accounts for all general revenues of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds and the related expenditures. The General Fund accounts for all financial resources of a governmental unit which are not accounted for in other funds.
Housing Fund – Accounts for funds used to maintain the City's supply of affordable housing.
Capital Improvement Project Fund – Accounts for capital improvement projects by centralizing project expenditures. Projects are tracked and managed for the purposes of planning, scheduling, and budgeting capital improvements.
The City reported the following major proprietary funds:
Water Fund – This fund was established as a separate fund to account for the operation of the City's water utility. It is a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user-charge basis to residents and businesses located in the City.
Wastewater Fund – This fund was established as a separate fund to account for the operation of the City's wastewater utility. It is a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user-charge basis to residents and businesses located in the City.
CITY OF BUELLTON
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2025
40 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide and proprietary funds 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 fiscal year end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent that they have matured.
Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Other revenues susceptible to accrual include other taxes, intergovernmental revenues, interest, and charges for services.
Grant revenues are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements are met. Under the terms of grant agreements, the City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net assets may be available to finance program expenditures/expenses. The City’s policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues, if necessary.
E. Property Taxes
California Constitution Article XIII A limits the combined property tax rate to one percent of a property’s assessed valuation. Additional taxes may be imposed with voters’ approval. Assessed value is calculated at one hundred percent of a property’s fair value, as defined by Article XIII A, and may be increased by no more than two percent per year, unless a change in ownership or new construction occurs. The State legislature has determined the method of distributing the one percent tax levy among the various taxing jurisdictions.
Property tax revenues are recognized in the fiscal year for which taxes have been levied and collected within sixty days of fiscal year end. Property taxes are billed and collected as follows:
Secured Unsecured
Valuation/Lien Dates January 1 January 1
Levy Dates July 1 July 1
Due Dates November 1 (50%) August 1
February 1 (50%)
Delinquency Dates December 10 (Nov.) August 31
April 10 (Feb.)
CITY OF BUELLTON
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2025
41 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) F. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenditures or expenses as appropriate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are combined with investments and displayed as Cash and Investments. For purposes of the statement of cash flows of the proprietary fund types, cash and cash equivalents include all investments, as the City operates an internal cash management pool which maintains the general characteristics of a demand deposit account.
Disclosure requirements for Deposits and Investment Risks were made in the following areas:
• Interest Rate Risk
• Credit Risk
-Overall
- Custodial Credit Risk
- Concentrations of Credit Risk
In addition, other disclosures are specified including use of certain methods to present deposits and investments, highly sensitive investments, credit quality at fiscal year-end, and other disclosures.
Highly liquid market investments with maturities of one year or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. Market value is used as fair value for those securities for which market quotations are readily available.
The City participates in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), an investment pool managed by the State of California. LAIF has invested a portion of the pooled funds in Structured Notes and Asset- Backed Securities.
LAIF’s investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing these investments. In addition, these Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities are subject to market risk as a result of changes in interest rates.
H. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories for both governmental and proprietary funds, consisting principally of materials and supplies held for consumption, are valued at cost, approximating market value, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The costs of governmental fund inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed, rather than when purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased. The inventories and prepaid items recorded in the governmental funds do not reflect current appropriable resources and, thus, an equivalent portion of the fund balance is reported as nonspendable.
I. Lease Receivable
The City’s lease receivable is measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during the lease term. Under the lease agreement, the City may receive variable lease payments that are dependent upon the lessee’s revenue. The variable payments are recorded as an inflow of resources in the period the payment is received. A deferred inflow of resources is recorded for the lease. The deferred inflow of resources is recorded at the initiation of the lease in an amount equal to the initial recording of the lease receivable. The deferred inflow of resources is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
CITY OF BUELLTON
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2025
42 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) J. Capital Assets
Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available.
Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are valued at their acquisition value. City policy is to capitalize all capital assets with costs exceeding a minimum threshold of $5,000 and with useful lives exceeding one year. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Structures and Improvements 50 years
Machinery and Equipment 3-15 years
Infrastructure 15-100 years
The City defines infrastructure as the basic physical assets that allow the City to function. The assets include streets, wastewater, park lands, and buildings. Each major infrastructure system can be divided into subsystems. For example, the street system can be subdivided into pavement, curb and gutters, sidewalks, medians, streetlights, landscaping, and land.
These subsystems were not delineated in the basic financial statements. The appropriate operating department maintains information regarding the subsystems.
Interest accrued during capital assets construction, if any, is capitalized for the business-type and proprietary funds as part of the asset cost. For all infrastructure systems, the City elected to use the Basic Approach defined by GASB Statement No. 34, which requires all infrastructure be reported at historical cost and be depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
K. Right to Use Assets
The City has recorded right to use lease assets as a result of implementing GASB Statement No. 87. The right to use is initially measured at an amount equal to the initial measurement of the related lease liability plus any lease payments made prior to the lease term less lease incentives plus ancillary charges necessary to place the lease into service. The right to use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease.
L. Long-term Liabilities
Government-Wide Financial Statements
Long-term debt and other financial obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate activities. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable premium or discount. Issuance costs are reported as deferred outflows if they constitute bond insurance.
Fund Financial Statements
The Governmental Fund Financial Statements do not present long-term liabilities. Consequently, long-term liabilities are shown as a reconciling item in the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position. Governmental funds recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financial sources. Premiums received on debt issuance are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuance are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Proprietary Fund Financial Statements use the same principles as those used in the Government-Wide Financial Statements.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2025
43 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) M. Compensated Absences
Government-Wide Financial Statements
For governmental and business-type activities, compensated absences are recorded as incurred and the related expenses and liabilities are reported in the appropriate activity. The City conforms with GASB Statement No. 101 on its reporting of compensated absences.
Fund Financial Statements
In compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 16, the City has established a liability for accrued vacation in relevant funds. For governmental type funds, the current liability appears in the respective funds. All vacation paid is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary funds financial statements. This liability is set up for the current employees at the current rates of pay. Each fiscal year, an adjustment to the liability is made based on pay rate changes and adjustments for the current portion. The General Fund is primarily responsible for the repayment of the governmental portion of compensated absences. The City's policy is to record sick leave as an operating expense in the period taken.
N. Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue arises when assets are received before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.
Grants and entitlements received before eligibility requirements are met are recorded as unearned revenue.
O. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 63, “Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position,” and GASB Statement No. 65, “Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities,” the City recognizes deferred outflows and inflows of resources.
In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. A deferred outflow of resources represents a consumption of net assets by the government that applies to future periods. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category; refer to Note 10 and Note 11 for detailed listing of the deferred outflows of resources the City has reported.
In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position and the Governmental Funds – Balance Sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. A deferred inflow of resources is an acquisition of net assets by the City that applies to a future periods. The City has three items that qualify for reporting in this category; refer to Notes 5, 10, and 11 for detailed listing of the deferred inflows of resources the City has reported.
P. 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 of Buellton’s California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. 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.

44 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Q. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s plan (OPEB Plan) and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value.
R. Fund Balances
Fund balances of the governmental funds are classified as follows:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – represents amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form (such as inventory or prepaid insurance) or are legally required to remain intact (such as notes receivable or the lease receivable in excess of the deferred inflow of resources for the lease receivable).
Restricted Fund Balance – represents amounts that are constrained by external parties, constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance – represents amounts that can only be used for a specific purpose because of a formal action by the City’s governing board. Committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the governing board removes those constraints by taking the same type of formal action. Committed fund balance amounts may be used for other purposes with appropriate due process by the governing board.
Commitments are typically done through adoption and amendment of the budget. Committed fund balance amounts differ from restricted balances in that the constraints on their use do not come from outside parties, constitutional provisions, or enabling legislation.
Assigned Fund Balance – represents amounts that the City intends to use for a specific purpose, but that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. Intent may be stipulated by the governing board or by an official or body to which the governing board delegates the authority. Specific amounts that are not restricted or committed in a special revenue, capital projects, debt service, or permanent fund are assigned for purposes in accordance with the nature of their fund type or the fund’s primary purpose.
Assignments within the general fund convey that the intended use of those amounts is for a specific purpose that is narrower than the general purpose of the City.
Unassigned Fund Balance – represents amounts which are unconstrained in that they may be spent for any purpose. Only the general fund reports a positive unassigned fund balance. Other governmental funds might report a negative balance in this classification because of overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed or assigned.
When an expenditure is incurred for a purpose for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the City considers restricted funds to have been spent first. When an expenditure is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the City considers amounts to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds.
S. Net Position
GASB Statement No. 63 requires that the difference between assets added to the deferred outflows of resources, and liabilities added to the deferred inflows of resources, be reported as net position. Net position is classified as either net investment in capital assets, restricted, or unrestricted.
CITY OF BUELLTON
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2025
45 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) S. Net Position (Continued)
Net position that is net investment in capital assets, consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and reduced by the outstanding principal of related debt. Restricted net position is the portion of net position that has external constraints placed on it by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, or regulations of other governments, or through constitutional provisions or enabling legislations. Unrestricted net position consists of net position that does not meet the definition of net investment in capital assets or restricted net position.
T. Interfund Balances/Internal Balances
Advances to and advances from other funds represent interfund loans in the fund financial statements.
Advances between funds are offset by a fund liability or by deferred revenue in the applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not expendable available financial resources. Any unpaid interest due to lack of funds in the borrowing fund increases the principal owed and is reported in the lending fund as deferred revenue. All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as due to and due from other funds.
These are generally repaid within the following fiscal year. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the Government-Wide Financial Statements as “internal balances.”
U. Budgetary Accounting
The City Council establishes budgets for the General Fund and all Special Revenue Funds. Budgetary control is legally maintained at the fund level for these funds. Department heads submit budget requests to the City Manager. The City Manager prepares an estimate of revenues and prepares recommendations for the next year’s budget. The preliminary budget may or may not be amended by the City Council and is adopted by resolution by the City Council on or before June 30 in accordance with the municipal code. The City Council may amend the budget by motion during the fiscal year. Only the Council can authorize transfers between funds and approve inter-fund loans. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund without formal council action or approval. The City Manager is authorized to increase expenditures in relation to revenues in funds receiving assigned revenues without approval by the City Council.
Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level, which is the legal level of control.
Supplemental appropriations, which increase appropriations, may be made during the fiscal year. Budget information is presented for the General and budgeted Special Revenue Funds in the fund financial statements. The budget information is presented on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Appropriations, except open project appropriations, and unexpended grant appropriations, lapse at the end of each fiscal year.
Appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year and then are re-budgeted for the coming year. Under Article XIII B of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), the City is restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from the proceeds of taxes, and if proceeds of taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the State Controller, returned to the taxpayers through revised tax rates or revised fees schedules, or an excess in one year may be offset against a deficit in the following year. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, based on the calculations by City Management, proceeds of taxes did not exceed the appropriations limit. Budgeted appropriations for the various governmental funds become effective each July 1.

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer-term investments, and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flows and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity:

D. Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. There are no investments in any one issuer that represents 5% or more of the total City’s investments.
E. Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by State or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under State law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure the City’s deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
None of the City’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation’s limits were held in uncollateralized accounts.
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government’s indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or governmental investment pools (such as LAIF).
F. Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying basic financial statements at the amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

(3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer.

The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
Contributions to the pension plan from the City were $410,704 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
B. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At June 30, 2025, the City reported a liability of $1,171,500 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward using standard update procedures.

Proportion - June 30, 2022 0.02976%
Proportion - June 30, 2023 0.02422%
Change - Increase/(Decrease) -0.00554%
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City recognized pension expense of $456,201. Pension expense represents the change in the net pension liability during the measurement period, adjusted for actual contributions and the deferred recognition of changes in investment gain/loss, actuarial gain/loss, actuarial assumptions or method, and plan benefits.
At June 30, 2025, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

Miscellaneous
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Actuarial Cost Method Entry-Age Normal Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary Increases Varies by Entry Age and Service
Mortality Derived using CalPERS' Membership
Data for all Funds (1)
Post Retirement Benefit The lesser of contract COLA or 2.30% until Increase Purchasing Power Protection Allowance floor

For more details, please refer to the 2021 experience study report that can be found on the CalPERS' website.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated and combined with risk estimates, are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Asset Class
New Strategic
Allocation Real Return (a,b)
Global Equity - cap-weighted 30.0% 4.54%
Global Equity - non-cap-weighted 12.0% 3.84%
Private Equity 13.0% 7.28%
Treasury 5.0% 0.27%
Mortgage-backed Securities 5.0% 0.50%

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in Discount Rate The following represents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of
6.90 percent, as well as what the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage point lower (5.90 percent) or one percentage point higher (7.90 percent) than the current rate:
1% Decrease Current Discount Rate 1% Increase

Detailed information about the pension plan’s fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued CalPERS’ financial reports.
C. Payable to the Pension Plan
At June 30, 2025, the City had no amount outstanding for contributions to the pension plan required for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
NOTE 11 – POST-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS (OPEB)
A. Plan Description
Medical coverage is provided through a single-employer CalPERS Plan under the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA), also referred to as PERS Health. The City contributes up to $1,200 per month on behalf of each active employee and covered dependents. The employee is responsible for excess, if any of the total PEMHCA premium over $1,200 per month. The City offers the same medical plans to its retirees as to its active employees, with the general exception that upon reaching age 65 and becoming eligible for Medicare, the retiree must join one of the Medicare Supplement coverages offered under PEMHCA. Employees become eligible to retire and receive City-paid healthcare benefits upon attainment of age 50 and 5 years of covered PERS service, or by attaining qualifying disability retirement status. The City's contribution on behalf of retirees is the same as for active employees - 100% of PEMHCA premium for retiree and covered dependents, but not to exceed $1,200 per month. Benefits continue for the lifetime of the retiree with survivor benefits extended to surviving spouses. Membership of the plan consisted of nine retirees currently receiving benefits. The City pays a 0.27% of premium administrative fee on behalf of employees and retirees.
The plan is not administered through a trust and therefore no assets are accumulated in a GASB-compliant trust.

The City currently finances benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis.
D. Total OPEB Liability
The City's OPEB Liability was measured as of June 30, 2024 and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the OPEB Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023.
Actuarial assumptions. The total OPEB liability was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Salary increases 2.80%
Inflation 2.30%
Healthcare cost trend rate 6.80% in the first year trending down to 4.14% over 51 years Pre-retirement mortality rates were based on the CalPERS' tables.
Actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 valuation were based on a review of plan experience, established pattern of practice an CalPERS’ experience studies.
Discount rate. GASB Statement No. 75 requires a discount rate that reflects the following:
a) The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments — to the extent that the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position (if any) is projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit payments and assets are expected to be invested using a strategy to achieve that return; b) A yield or index rate for 20-year, tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/Aa or higher — to the extent that the conditions in (a) are not met.
To determine a resulting single (blended) rate, the amount of the plan's projected fiduciary net position (if any) and the amount of projected benefit payments is compared in each period of projected benefit payments. The discount rate used to measure the City's total OPEB liability is based on these requirements and the following information:

Each year, the assessed value may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is reassessed at the purchase price of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.

The City does not have any outstanding general obligation debt subject to the limit.
Notes: The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of grossed assessed secured tax valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value.
Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown above reflect a conversion of the assessed value for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the state. 102
