Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered City's internal control over compliance with the types ofrequirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and repmt on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City's internal control over compliance.

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet impotiant enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph ofthis section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

The purpose of this repmt on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this repmt is not suitable for any other purpose.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and have issued our report thereon dated April 22, 2022 which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming our opinions on the City's Basic Financial Statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures ofFederal Awards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Patt 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal A·wards, is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the 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 financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and ce1tain other procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

April 22, 2022
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
ofthe City Council ofthe City of Calexico
Calexico, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements ("financial statements") of the City of Calexico ("City") as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and have issued our repo1t thereon dated April 22, 2022. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our repmt dated April 22, 2022, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial repmting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial repo1ting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial repmting or on compliance. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit and information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, as well as ce1tain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our engagement letter with the City dated February 7, 2022. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit:

Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Accounting Policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements. Other than those standards described below that were implement in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 , no new accounting policies were adopted nor was the application of existing policies changed:

GASE Statement No. 84
In January 2017, GASB issued Statement No. 84, Fiducimy Activities. This Statement establishes criteria for identifying fiduciary activities of all state and local governments. The focus of the criteria generally is on (1) whether a government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary activity and (2) the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. Separate criteria are included to identify fiduciary component units and postemployment benefit arrangements that are fiduciary activities. Application of this statement is effective for the City's fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. As a result of the implementation, the City converted the former agency funds, which previously reported assets and liabilities only, to custodial funds and repmted a restatement of its net position in the amount of$1,566,597. See note 17.

2021GASE Statement No. 89
In June 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period. This Statement establishes accounting requirements for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period. Such interest cost includes all interest that previously was accounted for in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 5-22 of Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASE and AICPA Pronouncements, which are superseded by this Statement. This Statement requires that interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period be recognized as an expense in the period in which the cost is incurred for financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. As a result, interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period will not be included in the historical cost of a capital asset reported in a business-type activity or enterprise fund. Application of this statement did not have a material effect on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

GASE Statement No. 90
In August 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 90, Majority Equity Interests- An Amendment of GASE Statements No. 14 and No. 61. This Statement improves the consistency and comparability of reporting a government's majority equity interest in a legally separate organization and to improve the relevance of financial statement information for certain component units. It defines a majority equity interest and specifies that a majority equity interest in a legally separate organization should be reported as an investment if a government's holding of the equity interest meets the definition of an investment. A majority equity interest that meets the definition of an investment should be measured using the equity method, unless it is held by a special-purpose government engaged only in fiduciary activities, a fiduciary fund, or an endowment (including permanent and term endowments) or pe1manent fund. Those governments and funds should measure the majority equity interest at fair value.

Application of this statement did not have a material effect on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

GASE Statement No. 98
In October 2021, GASB issued Statement No. 98, The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, to establish the term annual comprehensive financial report and its acronym ACFR. That new term and acronym replace instances of comprehensive annual financial report and its acronym in generally accepted accounting principles for state and local governments. Application of this statement did not have a material financial effect on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral pmi of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Ce1iain accounting estimates are pmiicularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. As pmi of our audit, we evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accounting estimates described above and in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Calexico
Calexico, California

Page 3 ends

The most sensitive estimates affecting the City's financial statements were:
• Investments are reported using GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, this statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes disclosures about fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specified, are recorded at fair value in the Statements of Net Position, and are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Levels of inputs are as follows:

Level I - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market pmticipants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date. • Management's estimate of the investment fair market value is based on information provided by the State of California for its investment in the Local Agency Investment Fund and based on market price provided by the trustee for investments in U.S. government sponsored enterprise securities and negotiable ce1tificates of deposit. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the investment fair market value in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
• Management's estimate of the depreciation on capital assets is based on the industry standard and past experience on actual useful life of the asset groups. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the depreciation on capital assets in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
• Management's estimate of the total OPEB liability is based on the actuarial valuation on total OPEB liability. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the total OPEB liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. • Management's estimate of the net pension liability is based on the actuarial valuation on total pension liability and based on audited financial statements on fiduciary net position for CalPERS plans. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the net pension liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

As pmt of our audit, we evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accounting estimates described above and in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Ce1tain financial statement disclosures are pmticularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements were:
• Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
• Note 9 - Pension Plans
• Note 10 - Other Postemployment Benefits
• Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies
• Note 17 - Prior Period Adjustments
• Note 18 - Subsequent Events - American Rescue Plan Act The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

Difficulties Encountered in Pe1forming the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. There were no misstatements identified during our audit that management had to correct and none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit's financial statements taken as a whole.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's repmt.

We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are communicated to us in the management representation letter dated April 22, 2022.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on ce1iain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the governmental unit's financial statements or a dete1mination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts.

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements Our responsibility for the supplementary infonnation accompanying the financial statements, as described by professional standards, is to evaluate the presentation of the supplementary information in relation to the financial statements as a whole and to repmi on whether the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We applied ce1iain limited procedures to the Budgetary Comparison Schedules, Schedules of the Propmiionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedules of Contributions for Pension, Schedule of Changes in Total OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, which are Required Supplementary Information ("RSI") that supplement the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding 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 did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Calexico
Calexico, California

Page 5 ends

We were engaged to rep01t on the Combining and Individual Non-major Fund Financial Statements, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made ce1tain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.

Notes to Appropriations Limit Schedule
For the Year Ending June 30, 2022
Note 1 - Purpose of Limited Procedures Review
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), California governmental agencies are restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes. Effective for years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, under Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB, the annual calculation of the appropriations limit is subject to a limited procedures review in connection with the annual audit.

Note 2 - Method of Calculation
Under Section 10.5 of Article XIIIB, for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, the appropriations limit is required to be calculated based on the limit for the fiscal year 1986-87, adjusted for the inflation and population factors discussed in Notes 3 and 4 below.

Note 3 - Population Factors
A California governmental agency may use as its population factor either the annual percentage change of the jurisdiction's own population or the annual percentage change in population of the county where the jurisdiction is located. The factor adopted by the City for the year 2021-2022 represents the annual percentage change in population for the City.

Note 4 - Inflation Factors
A California governmental agency may use as its inflation factor either the annual percentage change in the 4°1 quaiter per capita personal income (which percentage is supplied by the State Depattment of Finance) or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the change of local nonresidential construction. The factor adopted by the City for the year 2021-2022 represents the percentage change in California per capita personal income.

Note 5 - Other Adjustments
A California government agency may be required to adjust its appropriations limit when certain events occur, such as the transfer ofresponsibility for municipal services to, or from, another government agency or private entity. The City had no such adjustments for the year 2021-2022.
