To Calistoga City Council,
I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed ordinance to allow mobile food vendors in Calistoga. As a resident, I believe that embracing mobile food vendors will benefit our city in numerous ways.
Mobile food vendors allow our very own community members to provide a diverse and affordable dining options to our residents and visitors. By allowing mobile food vendors to operate in Calistoga, we are able to extend entrepreneurial opportunities to our very own residents, as well providing our locals with a quick and affordable meal.
In order to ensure the success of mobile food vendors I urge you to modify their operational hours from 4 hours per day, to a minimum of 8 hours a day in public property. Allowing only 4 hours of operations on public property, including set up and clean up, does not allow a business to be sustainable. Mobile food vendors put in a lot of work to provide this service and they deserve a fair amount of time to do so.
Thank you for your consideration.

To Calistoga City Council,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed amendment to allow food trucks in Calistoga. As a resident and active member of the community, I believe that embracing food trucks will benefit our city in numerous ways.
Food trucks have proven to be a popular and innovative way to provide diverse and affordable dining options to residents and visitors alike. By allowing food trucks to operate in Calistoga we are able to offer something for every palate, time, and budget. Food trucks have proven to provide our local workers and residents a quick meal when time is limited.
I understand that there might be concerns related to safety, cleanliness, and zoning issues, but these can be addressed through well-crafted regulations and guidelines. Many other cities have successfully integrated food trucks into their communities, and I am confident that Calistoga can do the same.
Sincerely,
Local Calistoga Resident

Mobile food vendors put in a lot of work to provide this service and they deserve a fair amount of time to do so.

I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed ordinance to allow mobile food vendors in Calistoga. As a resident, I believe that embracing mobile food vendors wilt benefit our city in numerous ways.
Mobile food vendors allow our very own community members to provide a diverse and affordable dining options to our residents and visitors. By allowing mobile food vendors to operate in Calistoga, we are able to extend entrepreneurial opportunities to our very own residents, as well providing our locals with a quick and affordable meal.

UemNo. ~ Dislributedon ~s Y2IH ,lt4-JAfter reading the Municipal Code Amendments Regulating Mobile Food Vending, I would implore you to extend the hours of operation to six.
Four hours to set up, sell and cleanup is highly restrictive on the food truck model of sales.
You are effectively confining and severely limiting these businesses' hours of operation and essentially allowing only one traditional meal service time. Serving breakfast and lunch, or lunch and dinner, would be impossible with this imposed time restraint.

Hi Jeff,
I have reviewed the staff report on the Food Truck Ordinance. My concern is the possibility of one property having more than one food truck on the premises. I am not in favor of having a food truck center similar to the one in the Roseland area of Santa Rosa.
I suggest the Code stipulate that 1 food truck be allowed on one property.
Thank you,

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jeff Mitchem, Planning & Building Director
Meeting: City Council - Aug 01 2023
Subject: Consultant Services Agreement: M-Group On-Call Senior Planning Services DESCRIPTION:
Consultant Services Agreement: M-Group On-Call Senior Planning Services RECOMMENDATION:
Consider Adopting a Resolution
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
In September 2020, the City entered into a professional services agreement with M-Group to provide on-call planning services in support of the Planning Division. The City authorized amendments in FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 for a not-to-exceed total of $33,500 for non-cost-recovery services.
Due to additional anticipated costs related to current planning (development review) and long-range planning (City-initiated projects) services, both parties agree it is necessary to negotiate a new contract and not-to-exceed amount of $50,000 for fiscal year 2023-24.
Under this contract, M-Group will provide on-call senior level professional planning services for development and environmental review projects assigned by the City and under the City’s cost recovery agreement with developers. More specifically, these services will generally consist of, but not limited to, the following:
• Review development project materials and environmental technical studies • Writing of reports, correspondence, findings, environmental documents, mitigation measures, and conditions of approval
• Attend meetings with applicants and city staff
• Complete research and make recommendations
• Conduct site inspections
• Attend and present at public meetings such as Planning Commission, and City Council Additionally, M-Group will provide professional planning services to assist the City with advanced planning and special projects as requested by the City and billed to the City as base level services.
These services may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• City initiated zoning updates to implement the 2023-31 Housing Element • Environmental review for CEQA compliance
CEQA STATUS:
Item #7.1.
This action does not meet the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with processing planning permit applications services will be recovered through Developer Deposit Account fees. Other City-initiated services will be covered by Planning & Building Department’s FY23/24 budget (01-4115-4402), which includes $50,000 for M-Group contract services ATTACHMENT(S):

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jeff Mitchem, Planning & Building Director
Meeting: City Council - Aug 01 2023
Subject: Agreement with UpValley Family Centers for Immigration-Related Services, Senior Services, and Community Health and Education Services DESCRIPTION:
Consider adopting a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a one-year professional services agreement with UpValley Family Centers to provide immigration-related services, senior services, and community and health and education services, in an amount not to exceed $100,000 over the course of the fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider adopting the resolution.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
In August 2022, the City Council renewed its annual professional services agreement with UpValley Family Centers (UVFC) to provide funding for three of their programs. The agreements assisted in providing free immigration-related programs and support services to immigrants ($30,000), community health and education ($30,000) and senior outreach services ($40,000). All three services assist the residents and members of the Calistoga community.
UpValley Family Centers seeks to sustain the scopes/budgets at the same level as FY 22-23 for FY 23-34 in the amount of $100,000. The scope of services to be provided is summarized in the following sections.
Immigration-Related Needs
UVFC continues experiencing high demand for assistance with immigration-related needs by Calistoga residents, mostly due to stated or proposed changes in implementation of federal immigration laws. Residents in the community continue expressing worry, fear and serious concerns for themselves and/or their loved ones based on pronouncements at the federal level related to changes in immigration policy and enforcement. UVFC proposes to maintain staff capacity in Calistoga offices two days/week for immigration services and covers salary and benefits – one day/week for an Immigration Program Coordinator, and one day/week for a Program Director to serve Calistoga residents. Staff are bilingual, knowledgeable of the community, trained in immigration law and are partially accredited representatives by the Board of Immigration Appeals/US Department of Justice.
Health and Social Services
The City Council has long recognized and supported the UVFC and its value and service to the community. In Calistoga, UVFC provides health and social services that are not easily accessible to Item #7.2.
our residents through county or state agencies. Services provided by the UVFC range from medical referrals, child and family counseling, housing assistance services, and food distribution.
Senior Services
Senior services activities include:
• Currently provide guided referrals to 100 seniors per quarter – increase to 125 per quarter (+ CDBG services means an estimated 131 seniors/quarter will be served) • Conduct outreach about Medi-Cal insurance expansion to newly eligible seniors (not in CDBG grant)
• Provide quarterly onsite activities at Calistoga mobile home parks/senior apartments (4 + 5 CDBG services means a total of 9 onsite social activities will be held over the year) • Coordinate a Senior Services Health Fair offering resources that promote well-being.
CEQA STATUS:
The recommended action is not a project and therefore not subject to CEQA review.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds are included in the adopted FY 2023-24 City budget (01-4107-4479). The contract amount is not to exceed $100,000 for the fiscal year.

Senior Services
Up Valley Family Centers began working with seniors in 2011, when it was identified that no other local agency was providing social service supports to low-income seniors in Calistoga. According to the US Census, 25% of Calistoga's 5,155 population is made up of seniors, and that percentage projected to grow as Baby Boomers retire. There is an increasing demand for senior services - and our goal is to help build and maintain a sustainable network of care and support resources for Calistoga seniors.
The family center is known by low-income seniors in our community as a place to seek assistance and get needed support. We have referral partnerships with over 20 senior-serving organizations and bring professional service providers such as lawyers and therapists to Calistoga to provide individualized services to our clients. We also coordinate informational workshops, support groups and resource fairs on a regular basis.

3. Offer special programs, at least once per quarter, that provide respite or information for seniors including support groups, educational workshops and resource fairs.
4. Provide quarterly onsite health and wellness activities at Calistoga mobile home parks/senior apartments (at least 4 onsite activities will be held over the year)
5. Coordinate a Senior Services Health Fair offering resources that promote well-being.
Immigration Services
The UpValley Family Centers began providing immigration services to the upvalley community in 2015.
Since that time, there has been an ongoing continued demand for assistance with immigration related needs by Calistoga residents, due to various changes in the implementation of federal immigration laws.
Through support from the City of Calistoga, the family center will provide free immigration services to low-income Calistoga residents. Services will include outreach, community education, individual consultations and application assistance to Calistoga residents on immigration-related matters. Up Valley Family Centers is recognized by the US Department of Justice and has two partially-accredited representatives who are trained to assist with filing immigration applications with US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

California law requires the City to have a CPA perform certain agreed-upon procedures to the Appropriations Limit under American Institute of Certified Public Accountants attestation standards. Based upon the application of these procedures, the auditors found that nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that the Appropriations Limit was not computed in accordance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.
Other Matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Calistoga
Calistoga, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, of the City of Calistoga, California as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise City of Calistoga’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Calistoga, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position and where applicable, cash flows thereof, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Calistoga, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about City of Calistoga’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Unites States of America and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
Item #7.3.
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Calistoga - Page 2
- 2 -
In performing an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Unites States of America and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Calistoga’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about City of Calistoga’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted the Management’s Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information and other required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context.
We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise City of Calistoga’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are presented for the purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 27, 2023, on our consideration of the City of Calistoga’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Calistoga’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City of Calistoga’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES
Governmental Funds
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. - 7 -
Item #7.3.
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds $ 8,214,066 Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the
Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures, however, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of capital assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays $1,342,745 exceed depreciation ($1,314,093). 28,652 Repayments of long-term debt principal and claims are reported as expenditures in the governmental funds, but the repayments reduce liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. 321,114
Accrued interest payable on long-term debt does not require the use of current financial resources and is not reported in the funds until due. 23,366 Governmental funds report compensated absences when payments are made or are immediately due. However, in the Statement of Activities these costs are recorded when incurred. (113,254)
Internal service funds are closed by charging additional amounts or reducing charges to participating governmental activities to completely cover the internal service fund's costs for the year. (364,578) Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in govenmental funds. Governmental funds record OPEB expense as it is paid. (183,014) Governmental funds record pension expense as it is paid. However, in the Statement of Activities those costs are reversed as deferred outflows/(inflows) and an increase/(decrease) in net pension liability. 1,183,929 Net differences 896,215

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Calistoga (the City) is a municipal corporation governed by an elected five-member City Council. The accompanying financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable.
The Calistoga Public Facilities Corporation is a legally separate entity for which the City is financially accountable, and it is governed by the elected City Council. The Corporation was formed to provide a method of financing public improvements. The financial activities of the Corporation are blended with those of the City and are reported in the City's governmental funds, and as capital assets of the City and debt obligations of the City.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of changes in net position) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, & Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded when payment is due.
Property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, & Financial Statement Presentation (concluded) Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly, receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On the accrual basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or assessed.
Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The HOME Grant and CDBG Open Grant Funds account for resources used for various programs funded partially or entirely by federal grant monies. The Capital Lease Projects Fund is used to account for the proceeds from a commercial lease arrangement used to obtain financing for pools, public works, fire stations, and other recreational facilities.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water Fund accounts for the operations of the City's water treatment and distribution system.
The Wastewater Fund accounts for the operation of the City's wastewater treatment plant and collection facilities.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund type:
The internal service fund is used to account for the City's general operating equipment and related services provided to other City departments, on a cost reimbursement basis.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes and other charges between the City's water and wastewater function and other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with the proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's enterprise and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the enterprise and internal service funds include the costs of sales and services, administration costs and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Fiduciary Funds are used by the City as Custodial Funds to account for assets held by the City as an agent for special districts. The fiduciary funds are reported on the accrual basis of accounting and separate financial statements are provided even though they are excluded from the government-wide financial statements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position or balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period (s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditures) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position or balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period (s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
Unavailable revenue, a type of deferred inflow of resources, is reported in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from three sources: taxes receivable, interest on interfund advances and loans receivable. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
E. Effects of New Pronouncements
The City implemented the following GASB Statement during the year: In January 2017, the GASB issued Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities. The 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. The requirements of this Statement are effective for the City’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.
F. Deposits and Investments
The City is authorized by its most recent investment policy to invest in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund, (LAIF) U.S. Treasury bonds, bills, and notes, obligations issued by US Government agencies, banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements, time deposits, savings, and demand accounts. Additional types of investments including mutual and money market funds are also authorized by long-term debt financing agreements and indentures. The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
Investments for the City are reported to be of fair value. The State Treasurer’s Investment Pool operates in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) G. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable government funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
Long-term notes receivable is reported as assets in the governmental funds despite their focus on current financial resources, but they are offset by deferred revenue amounts in the governmental funds until such a time those collections on the notes are realized by the funds.
All trade and property tax receivables are not shown in net of an allowance for uncollectibles.
Property taxes are levied as of July 1 on property values assessed as of the prior January 1. State statutes provide that the property tax rate be limited generally to one percent of assessed value, be levied by only the County, and be shared by applicable jurisdictions. The County of Napa collects the taxes and distributes them to taxing jurisdictions on the basis of assessed valuations subject to voterapproved debt. Property taxes are due on November 1 and March 1 and become delinquent on December 10 and April 10. The City receives property taxes pursuant to an arrangement with the County known as the “Teeter Plan.” Under the plan, the County assumes responsibility for the collection of delinquent taxes and pays the full allocation to the City. The City recognizes property tax revenues in the fiscal year in which they are due to the City.
H. Inventories and Prepaid Items
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed or placed in service.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements under the consumption method.
I. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental-type or business type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 ($50,000 for infrastructure type assets) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are recorded at acquisition value rather than fair value at the date of donation.
Under the GASB 34 Implementation Rules, the City is a Phase 3 entity and was not required to record infrastructure assets existing or acquired prior to July 1, 2003, at the date these new financial reporting standards were implemented; and the City has not recorded such assets. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) I. Capital Assets (concluded)
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of the business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Property, plant, and equipment of the City are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings and improvements 50
Public domain infrastructure 50
System infrastructure-Utility 50
Vehicles and equipment 5-10
Intangible type assets such as water rights are amortized to expense over the estimated term of the contractual arrangement underlying such rights using a straight-line amortization period of 20 and 50 years.
J. Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Proprietary fund types, cash and investments balances classified as Available for Operations are considered cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows.
K. Compensated Absences and Other Post-Employment Benefits It is the government’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. The City accrues each year as a liability in the government-wide financial statements, the long-term portion is recorded in the Statement of Net Position.
L. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and the proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position.
M. Fund Balances Governmental Funds
Fund balances for governmental funds are reported in classifications based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints about the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications include (1) nonspendable, (2) restricted, (3) committed, (4) assigned and (5) unassigned amounts. Non-spendable amounts generally are items not expected to be readily converted into cash such as inventories, prepaid items, and long-term receivables not offset by deferred revenue accounts.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) M. Fund Balances Governmental Funds (concluded)
Restricted amounts include those where constraints placed on the uses of the resources are externally imposed by grantors, contributors, other governments or by laws and regulations.
Committed amounts are those that can only be used for a specific purpose as determined by the City Council. Such committed amounts may be redeployed for other uses only by the direction of the City Council. Assigned amounts are fund balance amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes as determined by the City Manager or City’s Director of Administrative Services.
Unassigned fund balance amounts are the residual amounts reported only in the General Fund or funds having deficit balances.
The City Council by resolution established a policy that delegates to the City Manager or Director of Administrative Services the authority to establish, rescind or modify assigned amounts. Committed amounts may be established, modified, or rescinded by the adoption of a resolution of the City Council.
When expenditures are incurred for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) amounts are available, the City considers restricted amounts to have been spent first.
When expenditures are incurred for which any class of unrestricted fund balance could be used, the City considers committed amounts would be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts, and then unassigned amounts.
N. Comparative Data
Certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified to be consistent with the current years' presentation.
O. 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 measured on the full accrual basis as compared to Fund Balance, which is measured on the modified accrual basis. Net Position is the excess of all the City’s assets over all its liabilities, regardless of source.
Net Position is divided into three captions and is described as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of Net Position which is represented by the current net book value of the City’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter. These are principally debt service requirements.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which does not meet the definition of net investment in capital assets or restricted net position.
P. Prepayments
Prepaid items represent payments made to vendors for which the benefits are applicable to future accounting periods. Prepaids are recorded using the consumption method by recording an asset for the prepaid amount and reflecting the expenditure/expense in the year in which services are consumed.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded) Q. Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Government-wide Statement of Net Position
The governmental fund balance sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance – total governmental funds and net assets – governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statements of net assets. One element of that reconciliation explains that “capital assets are not financial resources and are not reported in the funds.” The details of this $27,179,736 difference are as follows:
Capital assets $ 43,004,688
Less: internal service funds (4,284,162)
Accumulated depreciation (14,330,748)
Less: internal service funds 2,789,958
Net adjustment to increase fund balance – total governmental funds to arrive at net position – governmental activities $ 27,179,736 Another element of the reconciliation explains that "long-term liabilities" are not due and payable in the current period and are therefore not reported in the funds. The details of this $2,560,066 difference are shown below:
Long-Term Debt Obligations and Related Interest:
Capital lease obligations $ 1,976,946
Claims 29,319
Compensated absences 553,801
Net adjustment to decrease fund balance - total governmental funds to arrive at net position – governmental activities $ 2,560,066 NOTE 3 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for all governmental funds and proprietary funds. The City is not required to have a capital lease budget.
Appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The annual budget sets appropriations by fund or with further allocation by department or program. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e. the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the fund level. The City Manager may authorize transfers of budgeted amounts between departments or programs within any fund. The City Manager may increase appropriations up to $30,000 for operating expenditures at the department level in any of the funds due to unexpected circumstances. The appropriations are then incorporated into the mid-year or final budget for the fiscal year. The City Council may adopt supplemental appropriations during the year. Encumbrance accounting is not employed in governmental funds.
The City did not prepare budgets for several Special Revenue Funds: HOME Grant, CDBG Open Grants, and CDBG Loan Repayment.

A. Cash and Investments
Cash and Investments as of June 30, 2022, are classified in the accompanying financial statements as follows:
Statement of Net Position:
Cash and investments $ 21,450,064
Fiduciary funds cash and investments 116,234
Total cash and investments $ 21,566,298
The total cash and investments above include those amounts held by the City in its Fiduciary funds.
However, the entity-wide presentation excludes Fiduciary funds totals, as the City is merely acting as an agent for other parties (assessment districts).
California law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities with a market value of 110% of the City’s cash on deposit or first trust deed mortgage notes with a value of 150% of the deposit as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law, this collateral is held in the City’s name and places the City ahead of general creditors of the institution. The City has waived collateral requirements for the portion of deposits covered by federal deposit insurance.
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) - The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at 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 City reports its investment in LAIF at the fair value amount provided by LAIF, which at June 30, 2020, was $261,218 less than the City’s cost. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are on an amortized cost basis. Included in LAIF’s investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, and floating rate securities issued by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, and corporations.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of the City’s investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City participates in the State of California, Local Agency Investment Fund investment pool (LAIF). LAIF invests a portion of the pool funds in structured notes and asset-backed securities, which are subject to interest rate risk. The City’s current investment policy is designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return on its’ investments consistent with the constraints imposed by the safety objective and cash flow considerations. Yield is to be considered only after the basic requirements of adequate safety and liquidity have been met.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including Investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity or earliest call date:

Fair Value Measurements
GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurements and Application, establishes a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels: Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that a government can access at the measurement date, Level 2 inputs consist of inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, that can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets, or market-corroborated inputs, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority and consist of unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. The valuation method used for rental properties is the Leased Fee Market method, which is dependent on the income generated from the rental properties. The City’s holdings in the Local Agency Investment Pool were not subject to the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the fair value hierarchy of the fair value of investments of the City as of June 30, 2022:
Investment Type Level 2

Cash in banks and on hand 1,538,073
Total cash and investments $ 21,566,298
Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices. Fair value is defined as the quoted market value on the last trading day of the period. These prices are obtained from various pricing sources by the custodian bank.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The actual ratings as of June 30, 2022, are provided by Standard and Poor’s except as noted.
As of June 30, 2022, none of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk.

Capital Leases – Governmental-type Activities including Internal Service In fiscal 2008, the City entered into a capital lease arrangement in an original amount of $4,674,000 with WestAmerica Bank for the purpose of obtaining financing to make improvements to pool, recreation, fire, and public works facilities. In fiscal year 2016, the City reset the lease to minimize the overall costs of the 2008 lease. The new loan amount is $3,870,414. Resetting the interest rate on the 2007 Lease generates total savings of approximately $619,994. Net present value savings are approximately $517,692 or 13.54%. The lease is payable in monthly installments of between $24,000 and $35,700 commencing July 1, 2016, and continuing through February 1, 2028. The lease bears interest at 2.44 percent per annum. The leasing arrangement included a lease between the City of Calistoga and the Calistoga Public Facilities Corporation, a blended component unit of the City. The lease receivable and payable between the City and its component unit financing corporation has been eliminated from these financial statements. The City has not pledged any specific revenue source for repayment of the lease but has agreed to appropriate sufficient resources from any source of legally available funds to make the payments.

E. Long-Term Debt (continued)
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) provided a $3,750,000 loan to the Corporation to provide financing for the subject improvements and for the repayment to the City of construction costs and other improvements made by the City's water enterprise. The USDA provided the loan by purchasing the Certificates of Participation referred to above. The installment agreement receivable and payable between the Corporation and the City has been eliminated from these financial statements as the Corporation is a blended component unit of the City, and the $3,750,000 is reported by the City as long-term debt (the certificates of participation) of the City's water enterprise fund.
Under the arrangements, the City has pledged net revenues of the water enterprise as security for the payment of the certificates of participation. The City is also obligated to fund a reserve fund in an amount equal to $148,237 with funding of this reserve to be made over a ten-year period. The certificates bear interest at 2.5 percent and principal/interest payments are due each January 1 and July1 through July 1, 2051.
Under the arrangement, the USDA shall fund the purchase price of the certificates from time to time by paying cash advances to the Trustee. Interest shall begin to accrue only upon disbursement of funds by USDA to the Trustee. As of June 30, 2014, the USDA had obligated funding of $3,750,000, had drawdowns of $3,203,852 to the City and there was a $546,148 undisbursed balance on the USDA Loan. The Mount Washington Tank which was funded through the Certificates of Participation has been completed; therefore, the undisbursed balance will not be used by the City.
Final payment on the loan is scheduled for 2048. For fiscal year 2021, Capital Contribution Revenues amounted to $561,326 and operating costs including operating expenses, but not interest or depreciation amounted to $3,132,278. Net Revenues available for debt service amounted to $1,204,757 which represents 892% of the $135,121 in debt service. The City made a principal payment of $68,000 and an interest payment of $67,121 during the fiscal year so the outstanding receivable of $2,650,852, which represents the City’s liability at June 30, 2022 for the Certificates.
Future debt service principal and interest remaining to be paid on the agreement is approximately $3,649,538. Principal and interest combined on the certificates will require the City to make annual payments which in the aggregate are expected to be from $69,000 to $132,000 each fiscal year.
Future debt service for water on the Certificates of Participation is:

A. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the City carries insurance. The City participates as a member of the Public Agency Risk Sharing Authority of California (PARSAC). The Authority is a joint powers agency providing joint protection programs for public entities.

A. Risk Management (concluded)
The Authority provides general liability, workers compensation and property insurance coverage to member entities. Under the liability program, the City has a $10,000 retention limit similar to a deductible with the Authority being responsible for losses above that amount up to $1 million. The Authority carries purchased excess insurance above that amount to cover losses up to $35 million.
The City has a $25,000 deductible for workers compensation claims, and PARSAC covers workers compensation claims up to the first $475,000 per claim and carries excess commercial insurance above that amount to cover losses up to $5 million. Property coverage is commercial insurance jointly purchased with other public entities throughout the State. The commercial coverage is one billion for the collective members with various sub-limits by type of coverage and property.
The City's obligation is to pay annual premiums billed by the Authority. The PARSAC periodically may make retrospective premium adjustments and the City would be required to pay its prorata share of such adjustments.
Liabilities of the City are reported in the statement of net position for the governmental activities when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The result of the process to estimate the claims liability is not an exact amount as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, and damage awards. Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to consider the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends (including frequency and amount of pay-outs), and other economic and social factors. The estimate of the claims liability also includes amounts for incremental claim adjustment expenses related to specific claims and other claim adjustment expenses regardless of whether allocated to specific claims. Estimated recoveries, for example from salvage or subrogation, are another component of the claim’s liability estimate. Settlements have not exceeded coverage for each of the past three fiscal years except for the contract settlements incurred in Fiscal Year 2020-2021.

Litigation. The City is involved in litigation incurred in the normal course of conducting City business.
Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the City’s counsel the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.
Grants and allocations. Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal and state government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures that may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time, although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

C. Pension Plans (continued)
The City’s Miscellaneous and Safety Rate Plans are part of the public agency cost-sharing multipleemployer defined benefit pension plan (PERF C), which is administered by the California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS). PERF C consists of a miscellaneous pool and safety pool (also referred to as “risk pools”), which are comprised of individual employer miscellaneous and safety rate plans, respectively. Individual employers may sponsor more than one miscellaneous and safety rate plan. The employer participates in one cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan regardless of the number of rate plans the employer sponsors. The City sponsors six rate plans (three miscellaneous and three safety).
Contributions – Section 20814(‘c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS.
The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the contributions recognized as part of pension expense for each Plan were as follows:

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
As of June 30, 2022, the City reported net pension liabilities for its proportionate share of the net pension liability of each Plan as follows:
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2021, and the total net pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020, rolled forward to June 30, 2021, using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. Pension obligations typically have been liquidated in the General Fund and Proprietary Funds.
The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Plan as of June 30, 2021, and 2022 was as follows:
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the City recognized pension expense of $297,265; At June 30, 2022, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:
$1,441,093 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to contributions after the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30, 2023.

C. Pension Plans (continued)
Actuarial Assumptions – For the measurement period ended June 30, 2021, the total pension liabilities were determined by rolling forward the June 30, 2019, total pension liability. The June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2021, total pension liabilities were based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
(1) Net of pension plan investment expenses, including inflation. (2) The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS’ specific data. The table includes 20 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale BB. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS 2014 experience available on CalPERS website.
Change of Assumptions – There were no changes in assumptions for the measurement date June 30, 2021.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15 percent. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of the discount rate for public agency plans (including PERF C), CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing of the plans, the tests revealed the assets would not run out. Therefore, the current 7.15 percent discount rate is appropriate, and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not deemed necessary. The long-term expected discount rate of 7.15 percent is applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund including PERF C. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report that can be obtained from the CalPERS’ website.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a buildingblock method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, staff took into account both short-term and longterm market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund (Public Employee’s Retirement Fund) cash flows. Such cash flows were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years.

C. Pension Plans (concluded)
Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.
The table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. These rates of return are net of administrative expenses.
Sensitivity of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate - The following presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Plan, calculated using the discount rate for each Plan, as well as what the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1- percentage point lower or 1-percentage point higher than the current rate.
Expected Average Remaining Service Lives (EARSL) - The expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired) in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Plan (PERF C).
The EARSL for PERF C for the measurement period ending June 30, 2021, is 3.7 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 561,622 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 150,648 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired) in PERF C. Inactive employees and retirees have remaining service lifetimes equal to 0. Total future service is based on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event other than receiving a cash refund.

D. Restricted Net Position and Governmental Fund Balances The $14,526,512, restricted amount in the governmental activities statement of net position represent amounts to be used only for specific purposes which restrictions are imposed by laws, formal agreements, or other governments. Of the $14,526,512 for governmental activities, $10,024,202 is restricted for housing and community development, $602,248 is restricted for public safety, and $3,900,062 is for streets and other purposes.
The fund balances of the City’s governmental funds are essentially all restricted as to their availability for future uses except for the $13,325,037 in the General Fund. The $765,503 consists of nonspendable amounts in prepayments and advances to other funds.
E. Post-Employment Benefits Other than Pensions
Plan Description. The City administers the City’s retired employees’ health care plan, a single employer defined benefit health care plan. The plan provides medical benefits to eligible retired City employees and their beneficiaries. The City provides medical benefits through the CalPERS healthcare program, pursuant to the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care (PEMHCA), currently paying $121.55 for employees retiring directly from the City. For unrepresented retirees with at least 10 years of City service, the City pays an additional portion of the retiree’s medical premium.
Retirees may also continue the City’s dental coverage but are required to pay the full premium if they do so. The City’s plan is affiliated with the State of California CalPERS in so far as the City’s health insurance premium payments are paid to CalPERS. CalPERS, through an aggregation of single employer plans, pools administrative functions in regard to purchases of commercial health care policies and coverages. City regulations and resolutions assign authority to establish and amend plan provisions to the City. Separate financial statements of the Plan are not issued by the City as a separate OPEB Trust or equivalent arrangement has not been established by the City.
Funding Policy. The contribution requirements of the Plan members and the City are established and may be amended by the City. Current OPEB contributions are equal to the current year’s projected pay-as-you-go amounts. The City has not yet done so but may choose to establish an irrevocable OPEB trust and make additional contributions to such trust to prefund benefits as determined annually by the City Council. The medical coverage available to retirees creates both an implicit and explicit subsidy liability. An explicit subsidy exists when the employer contributes directly toward the cost of retiree healthcare. An implicit subsidy exists when the premiums charged for retirees’ coverage are lower than the expected retiree claims for that coverage. In the CalPERS medical program, the same monthly premiums are charged for active employees and for pre-Medicare retirees, which results in an implicit subsidy of retiree premiums.
The agency’s funding policy affects the calculation of liabilities by impacting the discount rate that is used to develop the plan liability and expense. When a plan is “prefunded” sufficiently to project that the plan trust will be sufficient to pay all future plan benefits, then the discount rate will be equal to the expected earnings on trust assets. If funding is on a pay-as-you-go basis, paying only the required retiree benefits when due, then GASB 75 requires the use of a discount rate equal to a 20-year high grade municipal bond rate.
Because the City is currently financing this plan on a pay-as-you-go plan, the discount rate used in the GASB 75 valuation was based on the Fidelity Municipal Bond AA 20-year maturity yield index.
As of the beginning and end of the Measurement Period, this index results in discount rates of 1.92% as of June 30, 2021, and 2.45% as of June 30, 2020.

Category Count
Active plan members: 62
Inactive employees, spouses, or beneficiaries currently receiving benefit payments: 14 Total 76
Net OPEB Liability. The District's net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2021, and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020.
Actuarial Assumptions. The total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2020, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
(1) The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS’ specific data. The table includes 20 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale BB. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS 2017 experience study report available on CalPERS website. The actuary backed out the Scale BB improvement and replaced this with improvement using MacLeod Watts Scale 2020.
Discount Rate
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the City contribution will pay annual retiree benefits when due but contribute no additional amounts to the plan. The discount rate was set to the Fidelity Municipal Bond AA 20 Year Maturity Yield Index.
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB Liability was 1.92%. Healthcare cost trend rate was assumed to start at 5.2% (increase effective January 1, 2023) and grade down to 4% for years 2076 and thereafter.
Changes in Net OPEB Liability
The Changes in the net OPEB liability for each plan follows:
Discount Rate
1.92% as of June 30, 2021
2.45% as of June 30, 2020
Inflation 2.50%
Aggregate Salary Increases
(individual salary increases based on CalPERS) 3.00%

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER
MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Calistoga
Calistoga, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Calistoga which comprise the statement of net position as of June 30, 2022, and the related statement of activities for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise City of Calistoga’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 27, 2023.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City of Calistoga’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Calistoga’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Calistoga’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Calistoga’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. - 52 -

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

City Council
City of Calistoga
Calistoga, California
In planning and performing our audit of the basic financial statements of City of Calistoga for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the basic financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of its internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Calistoga’s internal control.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s basic financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the basic financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.
Our consideration of the internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, as defined above. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider material weaknesses, as defined above.
During our audit, we noted certain matters involving internal controls and other operational matters that are presented for your consideration in this report. We will review the status of these comments during our next audit engagement. Our comments and recommendations, all of which have been discussed with appropriate members of management, are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather represent those matters that we considered worthy of your consideration. Our comments and recommendations are submitted as constructive suggestions to assist you in strengthening controls and procedures; they are not intended to reflect on the honesty or integrity of any employee. We will be pleased to discuss these comments in further detail at your convenience, to perform any additional study of these matters, or to assist City of Calistoga in implementing the recommendations.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of City of Calistoga and others within the organization, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.
We thank City of Calistoga’s staff for its cooperation during our audit.

City Council
City of Calistoga
Calistoga, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of City of Calistoga for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibility under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards As stated in our engagement letter dated August 2, 2022, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement and are fairly presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance and because we did not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us.
As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of City of Calistoga. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies used by City of Calistoga are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted, and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year. We noted no transactions entered into by City of Calistoga during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. There are no significant transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements in a different period than when the transaction occurred.
Accounting estimates are an integral part 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.
Certain accounting estimates are particularly 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. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accounting estimates in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The most sensitive estimate(s) affecting the financial statements were:
Accrual and disclosure of compensated absences.
Capital asset lives and depreciation expense.
Actuarial assumptions for uninsured claims liabilities, pension, and other post-employment benefit plans. Accrual and disclosure of leases.
Fair value of investments and financial instruments.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing 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 trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. The 4 audit adjustments detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Item #7.3.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors’ report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated June 27, 2023.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, like obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to City of Calistoga’s financial statements or a determination 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. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
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 City of Calistoga’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 Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Budgetary Comparison Schedule for the budgeted Major Funds, which is required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements 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.
We were engaged to report on the combining statements and individual fund statements, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain 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.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and City Council of City of Calistoga, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022

Current Year Observations
1. GASB 87 Lease Capitalization Policy
Observation:
City of Calistoga (the City) implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87, Leases, which became effective for the year ended June 30, 2022, and had immaterial effects on the financial statements. This new standard requires leases to be capitalized as intangible assets. In compliance with the new accounting statement the City should consider formalizing a capitalization policy for leases like their capitalization policy for capital assets.
Recommendation:
We recommend the City consider formalizing a capitalization policy for leases liabilities and the right to use assets over $40,000 (estimate to consider). The City should also consider keeping the terms of leases to be either month to month or annual leases (12 months or less).
2. Payroll Tax Return Reconciliation
Observation:
During our audit, we noted the City’s reconciliation of salary and tax amounts on the quarterly payroll tax returns to the general ledger was not completed.
Recommendation:
We recommend the City reconcile the salary and tax amounts reported on the quarterly payroll tax returns to the City’s general ledger.
3. Balance Sheet Accounts Reconciliations
Observation:
During our audit, we noted the City’s reconciliation of Utility customer accounts receivables, accounts payable, Payroll cash account (account number 01-1000) and fund 42 developer deposit accounts were not completed. This was caused by staff turnover in the City’s Finance Department.
Recommendation:
We recommend the City reconcile the aforementioned accounts to the City’s general ledger on a monthly basis.
Prior Year Observations
1) Public Works Department Materials Inventory
Observation:
During our review of the City’s inventory controls, we noted the Public Works Department does not take a physical inventory of water pipes and meters nor does it maintain a perpetual inventory system. Total estimated value of the inventory is $30,000 for water pipes and supplies and another $5,000 for streets and road materials.
Item #7.3.
City of Calistoga
MANAGEMENT REPORT
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
- 5 -
Recommendation:
The estimated value of the inventory is not material to the City overall, but the City should consider developing a perpetual inventory system for valuable items and performing physical inventory counts twice a year. The physical counts should be reconciled with the perpetual records and discrepancies should be investigated.
Status:
This recommendation has not been implemented.
2) Written Accounting, Administrative and Fraud Procedures Manual Observation:
During the course of our audit, we noted that the City does not have a formal accounting, administrative and fraud procedures manual. This manual would document the City’s internal controls to safeguard assets and accounting records. This manual would also note the City’s policies regarding prevention, detection and deterrence of fraud and would serve as a training guide for new employees.
Recommendation:
We recommended the City develop and maintain an up-to-date accounting, administrative and fraud procedures manual.
Status:
This recommendation regarding the accounting procedures manual has not been implemented. The City implemented a fraud policy in September 2015.
