FROM: Arron Brown, City Manager
BY: Sheryl Garcia, Administrative Services Director/City Clerk DATE: 02/17/2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of an Invocation Policy for the City of Canyon Lake Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2026-10 adopting an Invocation Policy for the City of Canyon Lake.
Background/Analysis:
Invocations have been a longstanding tradition in legislative bodies across the United States, serving to promote solemnity, reflection, and unity before public meetings. The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently upheld the constitutionality of invocations at public meetings, provided they adhere to principles of inclusivity, non-coercion, and neutrality toward religion. Landmark cases have clarified the permissible scope and implementation of legislative invocations under the First Amendment.
The City of Canyon Lake seeks to adopt a formal policy to guide the inclusion of invocations at City Council meetings and other official gatherings. This policy is designed to respect the diverse beliefs of the community, promote voluntary participation, and ensure legal compliance. Key provisions of the proposed policy include:
Inclusivity and Respect: Invocations will be non-denominational and reflective of the community's diversity, avoiding language that proselytizes, disparages any faith, or advances a specific religion.
Voluntary Participation: Participation in or attendance at the invocation will be entirely voluntary. No individual's participation or absence will influence official actions or decisions.
Eligibility and Scheduling: Staff will compile a list of eligible speakers, including representatives of religious congregations, spiritual organizations, and secular groups within the City. Speakers will be scheduled to ensure fairness and diversity.
Guidelines for Content: The content of the invocation will remain at the discretion of the speaker but must align with the principles of inclusivity and respect outlined in the policy.
Legal Compliance: The policy adheres to federal and state legal standards, including the U.S.
Constitution's First Amendment and relevant case law.
The adoption of this policy underscores the City's commitment to fostering an environment of mutual respect and inclusion while honoring the traditions of solemnizing public meetings. It also ensures that the City's practices remain consistent with constitutional principles and legal precedents.

The City's investment policy has set the primary goals of the portfolio management as Safety and Liquidity followed by Yield. The City's cash flow requirements are evaluated on an ongoing basis, with short-term needs accommodated through the City's pooled investment funds with Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and Citizens Trust Allspring Funds Trust Government Money Market Funds.
LAIF is a pool of public funds managed by the State Treasurer of California, providing 24-hour liquidity while yielding a rate of return approximately equivalent to a one-year treasury bill. With the combined use of a conservative approach to evaluating cash flow needs and LAIF and the Allspring Funds Trust City Council Agenda,
Government Money Market liquidity, the City will not have to liquidate securities at current market rates that are intended to be held for longer-term investment.
The table below shows the portfolio average yield to maturity for the quarter ending December 31, 2025, compared to the quarter ending December 31, 2024.

City of Canyon Lake
Schedule of Investments

INVESTMENT POLICY
The City of Canyon Lake has adopted the following policy for the investment of City funds.
I. The Legal Authority
The Authority governing investments for the City of Canyon Lake is set forth in the California Government Code, sections 53601 et. Seq. The City Treasurer is granted authority to make investments on behalf of the City.
Government Code Section 53607 states “.....the authority of the legislative body to invest or to reinvest funds of a local agency, or to sell or exchange securities so purchased, may be delegated by the legislative body to the treasurer of the local agency, who shall thereafter assume full responsibility for such transactions until such time as the delegation of authority is revoked, and shall make a monthly report of such transaction to the legislative body.”
Government Code Section 53649 states “...the treasurer is responsible for the safekeeping of money in his custody and shall enter into any contract with a depository relating to any inactive deposits which in his judgment is to the public advantage.” The City Treasurer will enter into purchases subject to this policy and at the direction of City Council.
In addition, Government Code Section 53607 provides the authority for the legislative body of the local agency to invest the funds of the local agency or to delegate the full responsibility to the treasurer of the local agency.
II. Investment Objectives
A. The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the investment of the City’s funds based upon State law and prudent money management. This policy is designed according to the specific needs of the City of Canyon Lake. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while ensuring the safety of funds.
City Council Agenda,
CL 10-11
P a g e | 2 https://cityofcanyonlake.sharepoint.com/sites/SharePoint/Shared Documents/120 CITY COUNCIL/120-110 AGENDA PACKETS/2023 City Council Agendas/2023-09-13 Regular City Council Meeting/Final/9 Investment Policy Attach 2 Updated Policy.doc B. The City holds to the “prudent investor rule” in that investments shall be made with a degree of judgment and care, not for speculation, but considering the safety of the monies and acting as a custodian of the public trust. Related activities, which comprise good cash management, include cash projections, the expeditious collection of revenue, disbursement control and a cost effective banking relationship.
C. The investment of the funds of the City of Canyon Lake shall be guided by the goals of safety, liquidity, diversification and return on investments in that order of priority.
Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Canyon Lake. Each investment transaction shall seek to ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk; credit risk and market risk.
Credit Risk - Credit Risk; defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security, shall be mitigated by investing only with issuers whose financial strength and reputation can be verified to be the highest as rated by nationally known rating agencies and by diversifying the investment portfolio so that the failure of any one issuer would not unduly harm the City’s cash flow.
Market Risk - Market risk, the risk of the market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates, shall be mitigated by (a) structuring the portfolio so that securities mature earlier than or concurrent with the timing of major cash outflows, thus eliminating the need to sell securities prior to their maturity; (b) prohibiting the use of leverage or margin accounts; (c) prohibiting the taking of short positions, that is, selling securities which the City does not own; (d) prohibiting the use of reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements; and (e) prohibiting the use of “inverse floaters”. It is explicitly recognized herein, however, that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured loses are inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall investment return.
Liquidity: The City’s financial portfolio must be structured in a manner which will provide that securities mature at approximately the same time as cash is needed to meet anticipated demands.
Return on Investments: The investment portfolio shall be designed with the overall objective of obtaining a total rate of return throughout economic cycles, commensurate with investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.
III. Deposits/Authorized Investments
A. Deposits
Money must be deposited in State or national banks, State or Federal savings associations, or State or Federal Credit unions within the State. It may be in inactive City Council Agenda,
CL 10-11
P a g e | 3 https://cityofcanyonlake.sharepoint.com/sites/SharePoint/Shared Documents/120 CITY COUNCIL/120-110 AGENDA PACKETS/2023 City Council Agendas/2023-09-13 Regular City Council Meeting/Final/9 Investment Policy Attach 2 Updated Policy.doc deposits, active deposits or interest-bearing active deposits. The FDIC must insure the first $250,000 of a deposit.
The bank or savings and loan must secure the active and inactive deposits with eligible securities having a market value of 110% of the total amount of the deposits. State law also allows as an eligible security, first trust deeds having a value of 150% of the total amount of the deposits. A third class of collateral is letter of credit drawn on the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).
B. Authorized Investments
General Guidelines that the City should follow in managing its investments are as follows:
• No investment will be purchased which matures more than five years from the date of purchase without the prior approval of the City Council. • Maturities of individual investments shall be diversified, attempting to match, where possible, cyclical cash flow requirements.
• The use of callable securities is permitted.
To reduce overall portfolio risk while attempting to attain market value rates of return consistent with the primary objectives of safety and availability of funds, investments shall be diversified cross types of investments, maturities of those investments, and institutions in which those investments are made. Generally, the portfolio is to be invested in Federal Agency securities, with a modest addition of high-grade Medium Term Corporate Notes, Certificates of Deposit (CD’s), U.S. Treasuries and Commercial Paper.
The City specifically prohibits investments in Bonds issued by other local agencies, Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Derivatives (Interest rate floaters, range notes, interest-only strips)
Permitted Investments Per City Policy:
Investments shall be made only in those instruments specifically authorized by California State laws (section 53600-53609), and to no greater an extent than those authorized by those laws.
The City’s specific permitted investment guidelines are listed below. It should be noted that the City’s permitted investments are moderately more restrictive than the State guidelines. Attachment A provides a summary of the State of California Statues Applicable to Municipal Investments and a Glossary.

Only individuals authorized by the City Manager and City Clerk may conduct investment transactions. Consequently, individuals responsible for reconciling bank statements may not conduct investment transactions.
B. Third Party Safekeeping Agreements. Contractual agreement between the City and third-party custodian public investment agencies (LAIF) is used to secure City invested funds.
C. Quarterly Treasurer’s Report. The City Treasurer shall submit a quarterly investment report to the City Council. This report shall include types of investment, investment ratings, institutions involved, dates of purchases, dates of maturity, amount of deposits or cost of the security, current market value of securities, interest rates, investment fund balances and a statement that there are sufficient funds to meet the City’s cash obligations.

GLOSSARY
ACTIVE DEPOSITS: Demand or checking accounts, which receive revenues and pay disbursements.
AGENCIES: Federal agency securities.
ASKED: The price at which securities are offered.
BANKERS' ACCEPTANCE (BA): short-term credit arrangements to enable businesses to obtain funds to finance commercial transactions. They are time drafts drawn on a bank by an exporter or importer to obtain funds to pay for specific merchandise. By its acceptance, the bank becomes primarily liable for the payment of the draft at its maturity. An acceptance is a highgrade negotiable instrument.
Acceptances are purchased in various denominations for 30, 60, or 90 days, but no longer than 180 days. The interest is calculated on a 360-day discount basis similar to treasury bills. Local agencies may not invest more than 40% of their surplus money in banker’s acceptance.
BASIS POINT: A basis point equals one one-hundredth of 1% (.01%).
BID: The price offered for securities.
BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES: All U.S. Treasury and Federal Agencies are maintained on computerized records at the Federal Reserve now known as "wireable" securities.
BROKER: A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission paid by the initiator of the transaction or by both sides. In the money market, brokers are active in markets in which
banks buy and sell money and in inter-dealer markets.
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CD): Time deposits of a bank or savings and loan.
They are purchased in various denominations with maturities ranging from 30 to 360 days. The interest is calculated on a 360-day, actual day month basis and is payable monthly.

They are high-grade negotiable instruments, paying a higher interest rate than regular certificates of deposit. The primary market issuance is in multiples of $1,000,000, the secondary market usually trades in denominations of $500,000, although smaller lots are occasionally available. As a matter of practice, only the ten largest U.S. banks, where there is a secondary market established for continued liquidity are considered for investment.
COLLATERAL: Securities, evidence of deposit or other property which a borrower pledges to secure repayment of a loan. Also refers to securities pledged by a bank to secure deposits of public monies.
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR): The official annual report for the City of Canyon Lake. It includes five combined statements and basic financial statements for each individual fund and account group prepared in conformity with GAAP. It also includes supporting schedules necessary to demonstrate compliance with finance-related, legal and contractual provisions, extensive introductory material, and a detailed Statistical Section.
COMMERCIAL PAPER: Short-term unsecured promissory note issued by a corporation to raise working capital. These negotiable instruments are purchased at a discount to par value or at par value with interest bearing. Local agencies are permitted by State law to invest in commercial paper of "prime" quality of the highest ranking or of the highest letter and numerical ratings as provided by Moody's Investor's Service, Inc., or Standard and Poor's Corporation. Purchases of eligible commercial paper may not exceed 270 days maturity nor exceed 30% of the local agency's surplus funds.
COUPON: (a) The annual rate of interest that a bond's issuer promises to pay the bondholder on the bond's face value. (b) A certificate attached to a bond evidencing interest due on a payment date.
DEALER: A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and selling for his own account.
DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT (DVP): There are two methods of delivery of securities: delivery versus payment and delivery versus receipt (also called free).
Delivery versus payment is delivery of securities with an exchange of money for the securities. Delivery versus receipts is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed receipt for the securities.

DISCOUNT: The difference between the cost price of a security and its value at maturity when quoted at lower than face value. A security selling below original offering price shortly after sale also is considered to be at a discount.
DISCOUNT SECURITIES: Non-interest-bearing money market instruments that are issued at a discount and redeemed at maturity for full face value (e.g., U.S.
Treasury bills).
DIVERSIFICATION: Dividing investment funds among a variety of securities and issuers offering independent returns.
DERIVATIVE: An asset that derives its value from another asset. For example, a call option on the stock of Coca-Cola is a derivative security that obtains value from the shares of Coca-Cola that can be purchased with the call option. Call options, put options, convertible bonds, futures contracts, and convertible preferred stock are examples of derivatives. A derivative can be either a risky or low-risk investment, depending upon the type of derivative and how it is used.
FEDERAL CREDIT AGENCIES: Guaranteed directly or indirectly by the United States Government. All agency obligations qualify as legal investments and are acceptable as security for public deposits. They usually provide higher yields than regular Treasury issues with all of the same advantages. Examples include Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Farm Credit Bank, FNMA (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac).
FEDERAL FUNDS: Non-interest-bearing deposits held by member banks at the Federal Reserve. Also used to denote "immediately available" funds in the clearing sense. "Fed Funds" also used to refer to these funds.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The rate of interest at which Fed funds are traded. This rate is currently pegged by the Federal Reserve through open-market operations.
FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC): Consists of seven members of the Federal Reserve Board and five of the twelve Federal Reserve Bank Presidents.
The President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is a permanent member while the other Presidents serve on a rotating basis. The Committee periodically meets to set Federal Reserve guidelines regarding purchases and sales of Government Securities in the open market as a means of influencing the volume of bank credit and money.

INTEREST-BEARING ACTIVE DEPOSITS: Money-market accounts at a financial institution, (e.g., bank, savings and loan, credit union). These accounts are demand accounts (i.e., checking accounts) with restricted transaction activity.
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and rapidly into cash without a substantial loss of value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the spread between bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonable size can be done at those quotes.
LAIF (Local Agency Investment Fund): A special fund in the State Treasury which local agencies may use to deposit funds for investment. There is no minimum investment period, and the minimum transaction is $5,000, in multiples of $1,000 above that, with a maximum balance of $75,000,000 for any agency. The City is restricted to a maximum of fifteen transactions per month. It offers high liquidity because deposits can be converted to cash in twenty-four hours and no interest is lost. All interest is distributed to those agencies participating on a proportionate share basis determined by the amounts deposited and the length of time they are deposited. Interest is paid quarterly. The State retains an amount for reasonable costs of making the investments, not to exceed one-quarter of one percent of the earnings. The interest rates are fairly high because of pooling the State's surplus cash with the surplus cash deposited. This creates a multi-billion-dollar money pool and allows diversified investments.
MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or sold.
MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT: A written contract covering all future transactions between the parties to repurchase--reverse agreements that establishes each party's rights in the transactions. A master agreement will often specify, among other things, the right of the buyer-lender to liquidate the underlying securities in the event of default by the seller-borrower.
MATURITY: The date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due and payable.

These are negotiable instruments and are traded in the secondary market. Medium-term corporate notes can be defined as extended-maturity commercial paper. Local agencies are restricted by the Government Code to investments in corporations rated in the top three note categories by a nationally recognized rating service. Further restrictions are a maximum term of five years to maturity and total investments in mediumterm corporate notes may not exceed 30% of the local agency's surplus funds.
MONEY MARKET FUNDS: Open-ended mutual fund that invests in highly liquid and safe securities (bills, commercial paper, bankers' acceptances, CD’s, etc.) and pays money market rates of interest. The fund’s net asset value remains a constant $1 a share.
OPEN MARKET OPERATIONS: Purchases and sales of government and certain other securities in the open market by the New York Federal Reserve Bank, as directed by the FOMC, in order to influence the volume of money and credit in the economy. Purchases inject reserves into the bank system and stimulate growth of money and credit; sales have the opposite effect. Open market operations are the Federal Reserve's most important and most flexible monetary policy tool.
PASSBOOK SAVINGS ACCOUNTS: Similar to an inactive deposit except that the period of time is not fixed. The interest rate is much lower than for a certificate of deposit, but the savings account is more flexible. Funds can be deposited and withdrawn according to daily needs.
PORTFOLIO: Collection of securities held by an investor.
PRIMARY DEALER: A group of government securities dealers that submit daily reports of market activity and positions and monthly financial statements to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and are subject to its informal oversight.
Primary dealers include Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registered securities broker-dealers, banks, and a few unregulated firms.
PRIME RATE: The rate at which banks lend to their best or "prime" customers.
Also known as the "reference rate."
PRUDENT PERSON RULE: An investment standard. In some states the law requires that a fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest money only in a list of securities selected by the state (the so-called legal list). In other states, the trustee may invest in a security if it is one which would be brought by a prudent person of discretion and intelligence who is seeking a reasonable income and preservation of capital.

This may be the amortized yield to maturity on a bond or the current income return.
QUALIFIED PUBLIC DEPOSITORIES: A financial institution which does not claim exemption from the payment of any sales or compensating use or ad valorem taxes under the laws of this state, which has segregated for the benefit of the commission eligible collateral having a value of not less than its maximum liability and which has been approved by the Public Deposit Protection Commission to hold public deposits.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS (RP OR REPO): A repo or reverse-repo is a shortterm investment transaction. Banks buy temporarily idle funds from a customer by selling U.S. Government or other securities with a contractual agreement to repurchase the same securities on a future date. Repurchase agreements are typically for one to ten days in maturity. The customer receives interest from the bank. The interest rate reflects both the prevailing demand for Federal funds and the maturity of the repo. Some banks will execute repurchase agreements for a minimum of $100,000 to $500,000, but most banks have a minimum of $1,000,000.
A reverse-repo is exactly what the name implies.
SAFEKEEPING: A service to customers rendered by banks for a fee whereby securities and valuables of all types and descriptions are held in the bank's vaults for protection.
SECONDARY MARKET: A market made for the purchase and sale of outstanding issues following the initial distribution.
SECURITIES & EXCHANGE COMMISSION: Agency created by Congress to protect investors in securities transactions by administering securities legislation.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Arron Brown, City Manager
BY: Terry Shea, Finance Director
DATE: 02/17/2026
SUBJECT: Receive and File - Fiscal Year 2024-25 Audited Financial Statements and Related Reports Recommendation:
Receive and file the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Annual Financial Statements and the related reports.
Background/Analysis:
Attached for City Council's review is the City of Canyon Lake's Annual Financial Report (Report) and associated letters prepared by Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP (LSL). The Report expresses an "unmodified opinion" for the City acknowledging the City's finances and accounting procedures are in order.
In September, Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP (LSL) audited the City's financial records inclusive of reviewing its internal controls and testing procedures. As a result of that effort, along with an unmodified opinion in the Audit Report, LSL issued two letters. As covered in the attached Internal Control Letter, LSL found that the City has no internal control deficiencies or compliance issues.
Based on the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Audited Financial Statements the Fund Balance for the General Fund is $7,249,929, of which $2,023,609 is nonspendable. For Fiscal Year 2024-25 the General Fund added $16,026 to the General Fund Fund Balance. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund Budgeted expenditures were $8,624,319, which would set the June 30, 2025, Emergency Reserve at $862,435, the Contingency Reserve at $431,217 and based on the Equipment Replacement schedule we are reserving $430,380 for the Equipment Replacement Reserve. This leaves the Surplus Reserve at $3,502,288 which is 40.61% of the upcoming fiscal year's General Fund budgeted expenditures.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Canyon Lake, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Canyon Lake, California, (hereafter, the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2025, 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 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
Change in Accounting Principle
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2025, the City adopted new accounting guidance, GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

City Council Agenda,
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Canyon Lake, California
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x 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. x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. x 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. x Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and required pension and other post-employment benefits schedules as listed on the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. -2-
City Council Agenda,
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Canyon Lake, California
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules (supplementary information) are presented for 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 supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 18, 2025, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Canyon Lake, California (City), we are pleased to offer to the readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at the end of fiscal year 2025 by $17,705,833. The difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources is referred to as net position.
The City’s total net position increased by $369,191 during fiscal year 2024-2025. As of June 30, 2025, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $10,731,576, a decrease of $(631,368) from the prior fiscal year, and $3,709,550 of the governmental funds' fund balances are assigned and unassigned. As of June 30, 2025, the unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was $3,502,288 or 38.5 percent of total General Fund expenditures.
The City’s total debt for governmental activities decreased by $252,900 as a result of a new lease liability of $29,107 offset by principal payments of $282,007. The unfunded pension liability of $612,430 and the unfunded OPEB liability of $905,457 are included in these financial statements.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Canyon Lake’s basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements: The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner that is similar to a private-sector business.
Government-wide financial statements include a statement of net position and a statement of activities. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources and liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases may provide a useful indicator on whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities provides information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. These changes are reported using the full accrual basis of accounting that is when the economic event occurs, rather than when cash is received or paid.
Under this basis of accounting, revenues and expenses are reported in the statement for some items that will only result in future cash inflows or outflows such as vacation earned but not paid and uncollected taxes.
City Council Agenda,
- 5 -
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, community development, building and planning, animal control, and public works. The business-type activities of the City include rental activities.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 14 - 16 of this report.
Fund financial statements: A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds: Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
However, unlike government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the City’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is more narrow than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City’s nearterm financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains seven individual governmental funds for financial reporting purposes.
Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, the Gas Tax, and Measure A Special Revenue Funds, and the Capital Projects Fund which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and Capital Projects Fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund and the Major Special Revenue Funds Gas Tax, and Measure A in order to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 17 - 20 of this report.
City Council Agenda,
- 6 -
Proprietary Funds: The City maintains one type of proprietary fund. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for rental activities of a Cityowned building.
Proprietary funds provide the same kind of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide information for the City’s rental activities, which is considered a major fund of the City.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 21 - 23 of this report.
Fiduciary funds: Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City. Fiduciary funds are not included in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 24 - 25 of this report.
Notes to the basic financial statements: The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages 26 - 56 of this report.
Other information: In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information (RSI), as listed on the Table of Contents and which can be found on pages 57 - 63.
Combining statements for nonmajor governmental funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information and can be found on pages 65- 66 of this report.
Government-wide financial analysis
As noted earlier, net position may, over time, serve as a useful indicator of the City’s financial position. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City’s assets and deferred outflows exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows by $17,705,833 as summarized below:

Statement of Net position
The City’s net position only include infrastructure assets such as roads, streets, lighting systems, drainage systems, bridges, etc. that were added in the fiscal years ending June 30, 2004, through 2025. Historically, the City has not recorded these assets. Under GASB 34, the City has elected not to retroactively include the value of major infrastructure assets in the statement of net position.

Excluding the unknown value of infrastructure assets, net investment in capital assets represents 46.39 percent of the City's net position. The City uses capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. An additional portion of the City’s net position, $3,274,385 or 18.49 percent, represent resources that are subject to restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance, (unrestricted net position), is $6,217,278.
Statement of Activities: The statement of activities shows how the City’s net position changed during the fiscal years 2024-25 and 2023-24. Provided below is a summary of changes in net position.

The governmental activities expenses and program revenues chart is designed to reflect expenses associated with each City function and the revenues that are directly attributable to each function. It is important to note that general revenues such as property, sales and other taxes are not directly attributable to specific functions and are therefore used to support program activities citywide. Regarding the revenues by source chart, it shows that 38 percent of governmental activities revenues came from property tax revenue.

Business-type activities: For the City’s business-type activities, the results for the current fiscal year were positive. Overall net position increased by $56,605 to an ending balance of $320,118. The Rental Fund accounts for the activity of two City-owned commercial buildings.
Financial Analysis of City’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds: The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the City’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. Please refer to pages 17 - 20 for more detail on governmental funds.
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $10,731,576, a decrease of $(631,368) in comparison with the prior year. Of the $10,731,576 $3,709,550 or 34.57 percent constitutes assigned and unassigned fund balance. The remainder of fund balance is nonspendable, restricted or committed to indicate that it is not available for new spending or constraints are placed on the use of resources, respectively.

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a. Description of the reporting entity
The City of Canyon Lake was incorporated on December 1, 1990 under the laws of the State of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges pertaining to “General Law” cities. The City operates under a council-manager form of government and currently provides a wide variety of services to its citizens, including public safety, public services, community development, general administrative and other services.
There are no separate legal entities over which the City is financially accountable for. b. Government-wide and fund financial statements
The government-wide financial statements include a statement of net position and a statement of activities. These statements present summaries of governmental and business-type activities for the City accompanied by a total column. Fiduciary activities of the City are not included in these statements. Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34 in regard to interfund activities, payables, and receivables. All internal balances in the statement of net position have been eliminated except those representing balances between the governmental activities and the business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the total primary government column. 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 and indirect expenses of a given function or segment are 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 revenue are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements.
Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) c. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation The government-wide statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements.
Agency funds use the accrual basis of accounting but have no measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the cash flows. Accordingly, all of the City's assets and liabilities, including capital assets, as well as infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying statement of net position. The statement of activities presents changes in net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.
The types of transactions reported as program revenues for the City are reported in three categories: 1) charges for services, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified-accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified-accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in these funds when susceptible to accrual (i.e. when they are both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers property taxes collected after year-end, as available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Other revenue susceptible to accrual includes sales tax, state gasoline taxes, investment income, and certain other intergovernmental revenues. Expenditures in the governmental funds are generally recognized in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for unmatured principal and interest on general long-term debt, as well as compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recognized when due.
d. Fund classifications
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 not accounted and reported in another fund.
The Gas Tax Fund accounts for the repair and maintenance of streets and traffic signals of the City.
The Measure A Fund is used to account for the construction, reconstruction, alteration, and maintenance of the streets of the City.
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for City-wide capital improvement projects.

Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) d. Fund classifications (continued)
The City reports the following major proprietary fund:
The Rental Fund accounts for the activities of two City-owned building.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue resources that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specific purposes other than debt service and capital projects.
The Fiduciary Fund is used to account for the resources held by the City in a fiduciary capacity.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
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.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use the restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources, as they are needed. e. Financial statement elements
Deposits and investments
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 are reported at fair value. The City’s policy is to hold investments until maturity or until market values equal or exceed cost. The State Treasurers 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.
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."

Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) e. Financial statement elements (continued)
Receivables and payables (continued)
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in the applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable, available financial resources.
Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” Property taxes
The County of Riverside collects property taxes for the City. Tax liens attach annually as of 12:01 A.M. on the first day in January preceding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied.
The tax levy covers the fiscal period July 1st to June 30th. All secured personal property taxes and one-half of the taxes on real property are due November 1st, the second installment is due February 1st. All taxes are delinquent, if unpaid, on December 10th and April 10th respectively.
Unsecured personal property taxes become due on the first of March each year and are delinquent, if unpaid, on August 31st.
Prepaid costs
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements using the purchases method.
Capital assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, lease and subscription assets and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) are, reported in the applicable governmental 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 or equal to $1,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life of at least two years. 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 reported at acquisition value at the date of acquisition.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend the assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.

Use of estimates
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and include amounts based on estimates and assumptions by management. Actual results could differ from those amounts.
Compensated absences
The City provides to its employees a comprehensive annual leave program. Leave pay is payable at the time it is taken or upon termination.
The total amount of liability for compensated absences is segregated between short-term and long-term with both portions reflected in the government-wide statements. The short-term portion is determined to be the amount due to employees for future absences which is attributable to services already rendered and which is expected to be paid during the next fiscal year.
Long-term obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the governmental activities, statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.

Long-term obligations (continued)
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as expenditures.
Pension Plan
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Plan and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Generally accepted accounting principles requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used.
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s plan (OPEB Plan) and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments are reported at fair value.

Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) e. Financial statement elements (continued)
Deferred outflows/inflows of resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position 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 assets that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expenses) until then. The City currently has pension and OPEB related deferred outflows of resources.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City currently has pension and OPEB related deferred inflows of resources.
Fund balance
Beginning with fiscal year 2011, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This statement provides more clearly defined fund balance categories to make the nature and extent of the constraints placed on a government’s fund balance more transparent. The following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for which resources can be used:
Nonspendable – amounts that are not in a spendable form (such as inventory) or are required to be maintained intact.
Restricted – amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as grantors, bondholders and higher levels of government), through constitutional provisions or by enabling legislation.
Committed – amounts constrained to specific purposes by a government itself, using the highest level of decision-making authority; to be reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the government takes the same highest level of action to remove or change the constraint.
Assigned – amounts a government intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can be expressed by the City Council or by an official or body to which the City Council delegates the authority.
Unassigned – amounts that are for any purpose; positive amounts are reported only in a general fund.

Fund balance, (continued)
The City Council may establish (and modify or rescind) fund balance commitments by passage of an ordinance or resolution.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use when an expenditure is incurred, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. It is the City’s policy to consider committed amounts as being reduced first, followed by assigned amounts, and then unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.
New accounting pronouncements
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 101 For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 101, Compensated Absences. This Statement provides guidance on the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023.

II. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Note 2: Budgetary Information
The City prepares its budgets on the basis of estimated actual expenditures and, accordingly, the budget amounts included in the accompanying financial statements are presented on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
Each year, the City Manager submits a proposed budget to the City Council during May. The City Council holds budget hearings during May and June. The final budget is adopted by the City Council in June.
No budget expenditures can be disbursed without proper appropriations. Once the budget is adopted, no additional funds can be authorized without the City Council’s approval. The level of budgetary control (the level on which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is at the individual fund level. The City Manager can authorize budget transfers between departments without additional appropriations.
Throughout the year, budgeted expenditures are reviewed and projections are made by the City Manager. Therefore, any necessary changes are submitted for approval to the City Council with a recorded action for any budget adjustments.
Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all the governmental type funds. Budgets for all the governmental type funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, except for the Capital Projects Fund which does not have a legally adopted budget. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted and are further amended by the City Council.

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

Custodial credit risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., brokerdealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure deposits by pledging first deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. As of June 30, 2025, the City had deposits of $2,333,265 with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits that were held in collateralized accounts.
Investments in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this Pool is reported in the accompanying 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 balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. LAIF is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not rated. Deposits and withdrawals are made on the basis of $1 and not fair value. Accordingly, the City’s investment in this pool is measured on uncategorized inputs not defined as level 1, 2 or 3.
LAIF has reported to its participating agencies that, as of June 30, 2025, the carrying amount (at amortized cost) of the Pool was $178,938,897,012 and the estimated fair value of the pool was $179,918,091,940. The City’s proportionate share of the Pool’s market value (as determined by LAIF) as of June 30, 2025, was $11,407. 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, governmentsponsored enterprises, and corporations.
Fair Value Measurement
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

Note 8: Retirement Plan
A. General Information about the Pension Plan
Plan Description
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan or PERF C) administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS.) The Plan consists of a miscellaneous pool and a safety pool (also referred to as “risk pools”), which are comprised of individual employer miscellaneous and safety rate plans, respectively. Plan assets may be used to pay benefits for any employer rate plan of the safety and miscellaneous pools.
Accordingly, rate plans within the safety or miscellaneous pools are not separate plans under generally accepted accounting principles. Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the miscellaneous or safety risk pools. The City sponsors two miscellaneous plans.
Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS’ website, at www.calpers.ca.gov.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full-time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 5 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost-of-living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.

Note 8: Retirement Plan (continued)
A. General Information about the Pension Plan (continued) The Plan operates under the provisions of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and the regulations, procedures and policies adopted by the CalPERS Board of Administration. The Plan’s authority to establish and amend the benefit terms are set by the PERL and PEPRA, and may be amended by the California state legislature and in some cases require approval by the CalPERS Board.
The Plan’s provisions and benefits in effect on June 30, 2025, are summarized as follows:
Hire date

Miscellaneous
Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contribution requirements are classified as plan member contributions. Employer contributions to the Plan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 were $157,110.
B. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is as follows.

Long-term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points.

2 Figures are based on the 2021-22 Asset Liability Management study. 1 An expected inflation of 2.30% used for this period.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for PERF C was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

There were no subsequent events that would materially affect the results presented in this disclosure.

Note 10: Risk Management
The City is a member of the Public Entity Risk Management Authority (PERMA), a joint powers authority formed under Section 990 of the California Government Code for the purpose of jointly funding programs of insurance coverage for its members. PERMA is comprised of thirty-one participating member agencies: twenty-one cities, four transit agencies and six special districts.
The City participates in the liability, employment practices liability, property, auto physical damage, crime and cyber liability insurance programs of PERMA. The City joined PERMA on July 1, 2011.
The liability program provides coverage up to $50 million per occurrence for personal injury, bodily injury, property damage and public officials' errors and omissions. The City has selected a $10,000 self-insured retention for this coverage and participates in risk sharing pools for losses up to $1 million, followed by PERMA's membership in the Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM) for $49 million of excess liability coverage.
The employment practices liability program provides up to $50 million coverage for employment related lawsuits, such as wrongful termination and discrimination. The City self-insures up to $25,000 per occurrence and participates in the Employment Risk Management Authority (ERMA) for losses up to $1 million. Coverage above $1 million and up to $50 million is available through PERMA’s membership in PRISM for liability coverage.
The property insurance program is group purchased under a master property insurance policy with accumulated values from all participants effecting lower rates and broader coverage for members. The program covers real property, business personal property, inland marine coverage for special mobile equipment and business interruption. Commercial property coverage is written on a replacement cost basis and all risk, eliminating the traditional commercial "named peril" policy.
The auto physical damage insurance program is also group purchased under a master insurance policy with accumulated values from all participants effecting lower rates for members. Auto physical damage coverage is written on an agreed amount basis.
The crime insurance program provides public employee dishonesty, forgery or alteration, and computer fraud coverage under a master insurance policy.
The cyber liability program provides coverage for information security & privacy liability, privacy notification costs, regulatory defense & penalties, website media content liability, cyber extortion, first party data protection & business interruption losses.
The City is insured with PERMA for workers’ compensation claims. There is no deductible requirement for this coverage.
The amount of the settlements has not exceeded the above coverage for the past three fiscal years.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City changed accounting policies related to compensated absences by adopting Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 101, Compensated Absences, in fiscal year 2025.
Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the accounting change as of the beginning of the year is reported in the Statement of Activities. 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 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. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Management’s estimates of the net pension liability and net other post-employment benefits liability are based on actuarial valuations. We evaluated the methods, assumptions, and data used to develop the net pension liability and net other post-employment benefits liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
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 clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We are pleased to report that no misstatements were identified during the course of our audit.
City Council Agenda,
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Canyon Lake, California
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 auditors’ report. 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 included in the management representation letter dated November 18, 2025.
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 certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’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 the City’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 management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and major special revenue funds, and the required pension and other post-employment benefits schedules, 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.
We were engaged to report on the combining and individual fund statements and schedules 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.

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 Canyon Lake, 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, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Canyon Lake, California (hereafter, the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 18, 2025.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the 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 were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the 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.
City Council Agenda,
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Canyon Lake, California
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

A Message From
Your Fire Chief
On behalf of the men and women of the
Canyon Lake Fire Department, I am
proud to present our Annual Report for
2025. This report reflects not only the
statistics for the year, but the
dedication, professionalism, and
commitment to service that define the
Canyon Lake Fire Department each and
every day. This report highlights our
activities as we completed four years of
service to the City of Canyon Lake.
Throughout 2025, our Firefighters responded to emergencies with courage and compassion, often under challenging and
unpredictable conditions. Whether answering calls for fire suppression, emergency medical services, fire prevention activities, or community outreach, our personnel remained steadfast in their mission to protect life, property, and the community we serve.
None of this would be possible without the support of our elected officials, city leadership, automatic and mutual aid partners, and residents and business members of Canyon Lake. Your trust and support allow us to carry out our mission with pride. I am especially grateful to the families of our firefighters, whose patience and sacrifice make this service possible.
As we look ahead to 2026, the Canyon Lake Fire Department remains committed to continuous improvement, fiscal
responsibility, and service excellence. We will continue to adapt, train, and serve our community with P.R.I.D.E. and meet the growing needs of the City of Canyon Lake.
Thank you for your continued support. It is an honor
to serve as your Fire Chief. Jeff LaTendresse

ITEM NO. 9
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Arron Brown, City Manager
BY: Madalyne Gonzales, Community Engagement Coordinator DATE: 02/17/2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Adopting an Advertising Policy and Fee Schedule for the City-Owned Monument Sign at 31790 Railroad Canyon Road
Recommendation:
(1) Open the public hearing and take public testimony; and (2) adopt Resolution No. 2026-11 approving the Advertising Policy and establishing the fee schedule for advertising on the City-owned monument sign.
Background/Analysis:
In December 2025, the monument sign located in the Canyon Lake Towne Center was donated to the City of Canyon Lake, transferring ownership of the sign to the City. More recently, as part of formalizing City records and operations, the monument sign was assigned the address 31790 Railroad Canyon Road, and the City assumed full operational responsibility for its use and administration.
Prior to the City's acquisition, advertising fees for the 2025-2026 period were established and administered by the former owner, West Coast Outdoor Messaging, Inc. The proposed fee schedule reflects the same fee structure previously charged during that period and is being formally adopted by the City to ensure continuity, transparency, and City oversight.
The monument sign includes two distinct advertising components: (1) digital advertising content displayed on a rotating basis, and (2) permanent panel signage occupied by long-term tenants.
Permanent panel signage is reserved exclusively for tenants located within the Canyon Lake Towne Center, consistent with the long-term nature and fixed placement of those panels. Digital advertising on the monument sign is open to any business, organization, or entity that meets the eligibility criteria and content standards established in the adopted Advertising Policy, regardless of physical location, subject to availability and administrative approval.
Following the City's assumption of ownership and operational control, staff identified an opportunity to formalize the advertising program by adopting an Advertising Policy and establishing an advertising fee schedule to guide the use, administration, and long-term sustainability of the sign. A key objective of this effort is to ensure the sign remains current, well-maintained, and refreshed, while continuing to provide value to local businesses and serving as a well-presented community asset.
The proposed Advertising Policy is designed to provide consistency and transparency by outlining eligibility requirements, content standards, display parameters, and administrative procedures governing the use of the City-owned monument sign. Adoption of the policy ensures the program is managed fairly and consistently while protecting City assets and aligning advertising content with community standards.
City Council Agenda,
In conjunction with the proposed policy, Resolution No. 2026-11 establishes the official Advertising Fee Schedule, including pricing and tier structures for digital marquee advertising and an annual fee for permanent panel signage.
The resolution further establishes that the adopted fees apply through the remainder of calendar year 2026, with a single, non-recurring fee adjustment of ten percent (10%) to all such fees effective January 1, 2027, in order to support cost recovery and the ongoing operation of the program.
Together, adoption of the Advertising Policy and fee schedule will modernize the advertising program, simplify administration, and create a scalable framework that supports the long-term sustainability and refresh of the City-owned monument sign.
Fiscal Impact Yes/No:No
Additional Fiscal Information:
Approval of Resolution No. 2026-11 establishes the Advertising Fee Schedule for the City-owned monument sign. The fees are intended to cover costs for program administration, maintenance, operations, and future upgrades.
Revenue from digital advertising and permanent panel signage will go into the Enterprise Fund to support the ongoing operation and management of the monument sign.
This fee schedule provides a cost-recovery framework, does not authorize new spending, and is not expected to have an immediate fiscal impact. Any related budget adjustments will be addressed through the City's mid-year budget.

WHEREAS, the City has developed a Monument Sign Advertising Policy to establish eligibility criteria, content standards, display parameters, term lengths, and administrative procedures governing advertising on the monument sign; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to adopt a clear and consistent fee schedule for advertising on the monument sign that supports cost recovery for administration, maintenance, operations, and future upgrades; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager is authorized to revise and update the Monument Sign Advertising Policy and administratively adjust advertising fees as necessary to respond to operational costs, market conditions, maintenance needs, and program sustainability; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish advertising fees applicable through the remainder of calendar year 2026, with a single, non-recurring fee adjustment of ten percent (10%) to all such fees taking effect on January 1, 2027, in order to support cost recovery and the ongoing operation of the City-owned monument sign advertising program; and WHEREAS, the proposed advertising program is structured to provide tiered digital advertising options based on overall visibility and time on the sign, rather than fixed guaranteed rotations, while also maintaining a separate annual fee for permanent panel signage; and City Council Agenda,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds the proposed Monument Sign Advertising Policy and Advertising Fee Schedule to be fair, reasonable, and necessary to ensure consistent administration, protect City assets, and support the long-term sustainability of the monument sign.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Arron Brown, City Manager
BY: Jim Morrissey, City Planner
DATE: 02/17/2026
SUBJECT: (1) Adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 270 - An Urgency Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Canyon Lake, California, An Amendment to the Canyon Lake Municipal Code, Chapter 4.20: Commercial Cannabis Businesses, Section 4.20.250, Location and Design of Cannabis Businesses; and (2) Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 271 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City Of Canyon Lake, California, an Amendment to the Canyon Lake Municipal Code, Chapter 4.20: Commercial Cannabis Businesses, Section
4.20.250, Location And Design of Cannabis Businesses
Recommendation:
(1) Adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 270 - An Urgency Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Canyon Lake, California, an Amendment to the Canyon Lake Municipal Code, Chapter 4.20: Commercial Cannabis Businesses, Section 4.20.250, Location and Design of Cannabis Businesses; and (2) introduce and read by title only Ordinance No. 271 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Canyon Lake, California, an Amendment to the Canyon Lake Municipal Code, Chapter 4.20:
Commercial Cannabis Businesses, Section 4.20.250, Location And Design of Cannabis Businesses.
Background/Analysis:
Background
On October 6, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 215 regulating Commercial Cannabis Businesses. The Ordinance was subsequently amended several times (Ordinances Nos. 246 and 269) in response to a number of items, including the number of businesses to be permitted, their security measures, operating procedures, and the processing of subsequent approvals.
The original ordinance specified cannabis businesses would be conducted within the City's C-1 General Commercial Zone. At one time the C-1 Zone included all three of the City's commercial areas. In June 2022, the City rezoned the Towne Center to Mixed Use to reflect the General Plan Land Use designation of Mixed Use and implement the Towne Center Specific Plan.
Discussion
The intent of the Cannabis Ordinance is to permit cannabis uses in the City's commercially zoned districts. The Mixed Use Zone allows all uses permitted within the C-1 Zone. However, the Cannabis Ordinance specifically restricts cannabis businesses to only the C-1 Zone. To reflect the City's original intent to permit cannabis uses within all commercial areas of the City and properly reflect the applicable zoning categories that now exist, the Cannabis Ordinance is proposed to be amended to add the Mixed Use Zone as provided below (underlined represents additions, strikethrough deletions):
City Council Agenda,
Sec. 4.20.250. Location and Design of Cannabis Businesses.
Cannabis businesses permitted to engage in Retail subject to the following zoning and locational requirements:
(a) Retail must be in the C-1 General Commercial Zone or Mixed Use Zones and must meet all of the requirements for development in these zones. The cannabis business must also meet all of the following distance requirements:

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

FROM: Arron Brown, City Manager
BY: Terry Shea, Finance Director
DATE: 02/17/2026
SUBJECT: Review of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget and Approval of Proposed Budget Adjustments
Recommendation:
Review the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Report and approve the recommended budget adjustments.
Background/Analysis:
In May 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 2025-26, approving the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget and Appropriations Limit. The adopted General Fund budget included $8,674,450 in revenues and $8,624,349 in expenditures for a budgeted Revenues over Expenditures of $50,101. Through January, the City Council has approved additional appropriations of $1,384,250, for various items including Police Department Start-up and building remodel costs of $1,200,000, establishing a Facilities Maintenance/Capital Improvement Program Contingency account for $135,000, which is offset by funds received from a penalty for a failed bid, and $37,500 for an employee settlement. In addition, the City Council approved additional revenues for $1,512,000 in Proceeds from Long-term Debt for the purchase of property and $11,750 for sponsorships received for various City Events. The results of the changes as described above increased the proposed Revenues over Expenditures to $189,601.
Actual revenues through December 2025 with projections for the remainder of the fiscal year are higher than anticipated by $174,925. The largest projected increase is in Miscellaneous Income $85,000 as the result of a penalty received for a failed bid, Insurance claim payments $24,300 and sponsorships received for City Events $7,000. The proposed adjustment for revenues is as follows:
10-000-4791 Insurance Reimbursements $24,300
10-000-4790 Miscellaneous Income $85,000
10-421-4801 City Events $7,000
