SITE SPECIFIC SERVICE PLAN
City of Clovis Perrin-Sunnyside Southeast Reorganization December 2025 Site Specific Service Plan
The Water Master Plan Update, completed in 2017, by Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group, was prepared to support the 2014 Clovis General Plan, and the development plans therein. The plan examined the feasibility of continued growth in the greater Clovis area from a water resource perspective. This included a review of existing and future demands for water from surface, groundwater, and reclaimed water . The study area corresponded with t he General Plan planning area. The 2015 Urban Water Management Plan updated the water supply and demand issues identified in the 2017 Master Plan.
The City and Tarpey Village have 37 domestic water wells to provide f or the needs of its residents. Some of these have wellhead treatment facilities to t reat contaminated groundwater. The wells discharge water into a distribution main grid, based on a minimum of 12 -inch mains, spaced at half -mile intervals. The present water storage facilities consist of one elevated tank and three ground level tanks. The total storage capacity is 7 million gallons.
The City began operations of the Surface Water Treatment Facility, located on the Enterprise Canal on the east side of Clovis, in 2004. Kings River water is supplied to the plant via Fresno Irrigation Dist rict’s (FID) Enterprise Canal. This 15 million gallon-per-day (MGD) plant allows Clovis to serve existing users and new growth areas, while lessening the demand on groundwater. In 2014, treatment capacity at the SWTF was increased to 22.5 MGD.
In 2009, the City began operation of the Water Reuse Facility (WRF) to treat wastewater from a porti on of the City’s growth areas. In 2012, the City began using recycled water from this facility to irrigate public landscapes. At build-out of the system, this facility will be able to produce 8.4 MGD of recycled water.
The strategy for future water supply is termed “conjunctive use” where multiple elements are used to provide a secure long-term supply. It includes using both groundwater and treated surface water to ensure a secure drought-resistant water supply with the flexibility to use surface and groundwater supplies in a cost and operationally-efficient manne r. This strategy is conducive to phased development that is critical to both community approval and existing operational constraints.
Water systems for newly developed areas, such as the project site, will be financed by development fees, assessment districts, a nd capital facilities funding. Additional surface water supplies for certain growth areas will be financed by the Water Supply development fee.
2. Water
The following water conditions have been placed on the project per the annexation agreement:
a. Water System Improvements to serve the Quail Run Neighborhood .

b. Individual Water System Improvements . Owner shall be required to provide the following improvements in accordance with the applicable City standards and requirements at the time they wish to connect to City water.
i. One (1) service stub for domestic uses on the Property. ii. One (1) service stub for landscape irrigation uses on the Property. iii. Back flow prevention device(s) in accordance with applicable City Standards.
3. Wastewater
The Fresno-Clovis Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility serves the Fresno and Clovis urban area from its location southwest of the two cities. The City of Clovis owns and maintains sewer lines within the City Sphere of Influence, with the exception of the Tarpey Village area, which is maintained by the City of Fresno.
The City operates the Water Reuse Facility which treats wastewater from a portion of the City and provides recycled water for use in public landscapes. This facility will be expanded as requi red to serve portions of the northwest and northeast growth areas. The City does not have sewer collection facilities constructed for the entire current Sphere of Influence at this time, but all areas have been master planned.
The Clovis Wastewater Master Plan Update in 2017 provided the City with a course of action with respect to wastewater service needs through the year 2035, in keeping with the Clovis General Plan.
Wastewater facilities for newly developed areas will be financed by development fees, assessment districts, and capital facilities funding.
The following sewer conditions have been placed on the project per the annexation agreement:
i. The septic system must comply with current State standards at the time deferment is requested. ii. The septic system may not have leach fields or tanks within areas that are flood irrigated. iii. Owner must provide a diagram of the septic system’s location and proof that the septic system is in good working order. The diagram and acceptable proof may be provided by having a licensed septic company inspect the septic system and provide documentation that the system is functioning properly and of a design that meets State standards. iv. A deferment must be renewed every ten (10) years until the septic system on the Property is abandoned or removed in accordance with applicable State, County, and City standards in effect at the time and the Property is connected to the City’s sewer system. v. Owner must be in compliance with the City’s Municipal Code in all respects except as otherwise specifically authorized in this Agreement.
4. Dedications and Street Improvements
The following street conditions have been placed on the project:
i. E. Lexington and N. Purdue Avenues. Owner, as part of the Quail Run Neighborhood, agrees to fund street maintenance work to bring the condition of the pavement to City standard and no less than a pavement condition index of 90 as a condition precedent to the City assuming maintenance responsibility of the street. If street lighting is desired by a majority of the eighteen property owners comprising the Quail Run Neighborhood, or deemed necessary by the City, Owner, as part of the Quail Run Neighborhood, shall be responsible for providing funding for the 252
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.
SITE SPECIFIC SERVICE PLAN
City of Clovis Perrin-Sunnyside Southeast Reorganization December 2025 Site Specific Service Plan
installation and perpetual maintenance of street lighting in accordance with applicable City standards, which may include the formation of community facilities district for such purposes in accordance with applicable law.
5. Solid Waste Collection
Owner shall have the choice of changing to City solid waste service immediately, or staying with their existing franchised service provider through the County for up to five (5) years from the date of annexation.
City’s basic residential refuse, recycling and organics service is centered on urban waste production. All City residents are required to have refuse, recycling and organics toters. Rural residential properties can generate waste material in quantities or types that require additional services abov e City’s standard waste pickup. Street Sweeping services will not be provided on streets that are not constructed to City of Clovis standards and do not have a curb and gutter. Therefore, when Owner is ready to change to City service it will be necessary to work directly with City’s solid waste division to determine the best way City can service Owner’s solid waste needs.
6. Fire Protection
The Fire Department employs two primary measures in determining service for the com munity and future development. The first measure is distribution. “Distribution” describes station locations that allow for a rapid first -due response deployment to mitigate fire and medical aid emergencies before they result in further life/property loss. Distribution is measured by how much of the jurisdiction is covered by first due units within our adopted response time goal of arrival within 5 minutes or less 90% of the time. The second term, “concentration” is a measure of how many multiple units are within sufficient proximity to provide the necessary tools, equipment and personnel, known as an effective response force, for a large scale incident or when another unit is assigned to a concurrent emergency. An initial effective response force is one that has been determined likely to stop the escalation of a fire emergency and bring it effectively under control.
In addition to these factors, Clovis Fire has conducted several station location studies over the last ten years to ensure efficient and effective operations. Stations have generally been located in between 4.5 to 5 mile squares n ear major street intersections. Previous studies identified various station configurations that could serve City growth depending on the type of development and infrastr ucture planned for these areas. Currently, the Clovis Fire Department operates out of five fire stations located throughout the City.
In determining desired levels of resource concentration to maintain existing standards and to provide equal protection to future growth areas, the Clovis Fire Department analyzed the risk assessment, call volume, population, critical task analysis, and ind ustry standards. Depending on the factors previously noted, the number of units needed for an initial effective response force are dispatched as defined in the Critical Task Analysis document.
Consideration for community protection must also take into account utilization of Automatic Aid Agreements that provide the closest available resourc es, regardless of jurisdiction. Using software programs and data from neighboring jurisdictions, fire staff are able to analyze the concentration of units revealing detailed information regarding the deployment of resources necessary to provide an effective fire fighting force within defined response time goals for a geographic area neighboring other fire prote ction districts.
The Emergency Services Bureau is responsible for providing the resources need ed by Fire Department staff who respond daily to requests for emergency and non-emergency services from the citizens of Clovis through four divisions: Operations, Support Services, Training, and Communications. The Operations Division activities include: responding to fires, first responder medical services, mutual/automatic aid, mapping, apparatus replacement, etc. The Training Division activities include coordination of recruitme nt, testing and training of new employees, in -service training for all Department employees and coordinated use of the Fire Training Center. Support Services Division activities include: apparatus maintenance, facilities maintenance, station supplies, etc. The Communications Division has responsibility for 253
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.
SITE SPECIFIC SERVICE PLAN
City of Clovis Perrin-Sunnyside Southeast Reorganization December 2025 Site Specific Service Plan
coordinating dispatch services to the Fire Department. Fire dispatch services are provided via a contract with the Fresno County Emergency Medical Services Division. Dispatch services coordinate the emergency response of all City fire resources and mutual or automatic aid resources. The Department continues to promote sound planning, economic efficiency, and effective use of the City resources while providing essential and valuable services.
The Life Safety and Enforcement Bureau is responsible for providing community risk reduction activities through two divisions: Fire Prevention and Emergency Preparedness. The Fire Prevention Division assists local businesses and building development though activities such as inspections and plan review to ensure safe occupancies comply with fire codes, standards, and local ordinances. Additional risk reduction is performed through public education where citizens learn about actions they can take to reduce t heir fire risk and learn emergency preparedness skills that are essential during times of crisis. Within the Bureau, the Investigations team has the responsibility to investigate all fires for cause and origin, and enforce minimum standards to safeguard life, health, property, and public welfare.
The Emergency Preparedness Division has the responsibility for preparing and carrying out emergency plans to protect property and the citizens of Clovis in case of actual or threatened conditions of disaster or extreme peril. This includes having an emergency plan in place, maintaining an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), ensuring policies and procedures are compliant with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) guidelines and exercises are conducted to evaluate system effectiveness. Within the Emergency Preparedness section are the Hazardous Materials Response Team and an Urban Search and Rescue Team. These teams are capable of responding to emergency incidents that require specialized tools, equipment, and personnel. Some funding for this division is augmented by state and federal grants.
The Fire Administration Division is responsible for supporting all department operations, administering the Accreditation program, and the development and administration of the Fire Department budget. Fire Administration provides administrative analysis, r eport preparation, coordination of programs, incident response data management, timekeeping, and other routine duties performed daily that support the delivery of emergency and non-emergency services. Fire Administration also identifies, writes, and manages grants to supplement funding for all Department programs.
7. Law Enforcement
The responsibility of the Police Department is to provide protection and police -related services to the community. The Department’s mission is to do this in a manner that builds public confidence and improves the quality of life in Clovis. Police headquart ers is located at the Clovis Civic Center. Currently, the Police Department is allotted for 112 sworn officers. The current ratio is 0.90 sworn officers per 1,000 residents.
In accordance with the recommendations contained in the Police Department Master S ervice Plan, the Police Department will seek funding to achieve and maintain a ratio of 1.3 officers per 1,000 residents.
Police protection to the unincorporated areas is provided by the Fresno County Sheriff and California Highway Patrol. The City has a mutual aid assistance agreement with both agencies.
The operations of the Police Department, now and as the City grows, will be funded through the General Fund, Community Facilities District (CFD) fund, and grants. It is noted that continued annexation and development without proportionate increase in the funding of safety services will have an effect on the city’s ability to maintain acceptable service levels. If unable to maintain acceptable service levels, the department will have to reduce response to certain calls and possibly eliminate other services altogether. This reduction of services will greatly impact our citizens and the quality of life in our community.
The Department is organized into three major divisions, which are composed of seven budgetary sections.
8. Parks & Recreation
254
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.

The Park s Section administers the Landscape Maintenance District (LMD), which provides funding for maintenance of certain parks, trails, street landscaping, streetlights, and neighborhood architectural enhancement features for areas within the Landscape Maintenance District. All City owned landscaping that is not within the LMD is funded through the General Fund.
9. Transit Services
The Community Services Division administers various senior citizen programs at the Clovis Senior Activity Center. The Division also administers the City’s Round -Up demand-response transit program, the fixed - route Stageline transit program, and administers the City’s contract with Fresno Area Express (FAX). User fees, and state and federal transit funds and grants support the transit service.
10. Storm Drainage
Storm Drain responds to significant rainfall events by providing sand bags, pumping of flooded areas, monitoring stream channels, placing warning signage, and pumping temporary s torm drain basins when needed. It also provides pre-storm cleaning of drain inlets to ensure debris do not hamper proper operation of the storm drain collection system. As development occurs, applicants will be required to construct storm drainage facilities in accordance with the standard and requirements of the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District. Specific conditions for improvements to the storm drainage system will be issued as development projects are proposed and approved.
11. Street Lighting
If street lighting is desired by a majority of the eighteen property owners comprising the Quail Run Neighborhood, or deemed necessary by the City, the Quail Run Neighborhood shall be responsible for providing funding for the installation and perpetual mai ntenance of street lighting in accordance with applicable City standards, which may include the formation of or annexation to an assessment district or community facilities district for such purposes in accordance with applicable law.
12. Schools
The City of Clovis and its sphere of influence lies primarily within the Clovis Unified School District (CUSD).
The portion the sphere of influence within the Loma Vista Specific Plan, east of the Highland Avenue alignment lies within the Sanger Unified School District (SUSD). Only a small portion of the southwest area of the city lies in the Fresno Unified School District (FUSD). These districts are affected by residential growth in the Clovis area. The area of the City serviced by FUSD is fully built -out and future development within the City’s sphere of influence will not affect this district.
13. Other Services
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG &E) provides gas and electrical service to the City of Clovis, its sphere of influence, and Fresno County. Electrical service is supplied by underground and overhead lines routed through three substatio ns in the greater Clovis area. The hierarchy of establishing electrical power lines from generation stations to customers is as follows: transmission distribution; sub-transmission; and service. PG&E provides gas to customers through plasti c and steel underground lines. Residents n ot serviced by PG&E use propane fuel.
14. Financing of Services and Facilities
255
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.
SITE SPECIFIC SERVICE PLAN
City of Clovis Perrin-Sunnyside Southeast Reorganization December 2025 Site Specific Service Plan
The City Council has established fiscal policies that govern the city’s financial administration and are designed to safeguard the C ity’s assets, provide a stable funding base, and ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled. These accounting data allow for the preparation of various accounting reports such as the annual budget and the ann ual year-end financial report. Following are the financial policies that provide the basis for the financial direction of the city. • The City’s budget policy states that all operating budgets shall be balanced and ongoing costs will not exceed current revenues plus available fund balance that exceeds reserve requirements. The minimum reserve for any operational fund is 10 % of the budgeted expenditures with the goal for reserves of 15% of budgeted expenditures unless capital borrowing or extraordinary fiscal conditions require that higher lev els of reserves be maintained. As discussed during the five -year forecast, the General Fund target reserve is now set at 25%, the current General Fund reserve is approximately 16.5%. Budgetary and purchasing controls have been instituted that ensure adherence to the adopted budget.
• The Enterprise Funds are to be fully supported by user fees and charges, and the Internal Services Funds are to be funded at appropriate levels to ensure reasonable ability to respond to unforeseen events. Annually, the City has designated a contribution of general funds to the General Government Services Fund (an Internal Service Fund) to address the building space needs for new fire stations, safety training facilities, regio nal park facilities, business and industrial parks, upgrades and new technology fo r improved productivity, and major remodeling, repairs, or additions to existing facilities.
• The C ity will not issue long -term deb t to cover current operations. The C ity will consider the issuance of long -term debt to purchase/build capital assets when those assets will benefit users over several years and it is determined that it is more equitable to spread the capital investment and financing costs of the asset to current and future users of the asset.
• Annually the C ity will have an independent audit of its financial records prepared by a certified public accountant pursuant to generally accepted auditing practices of the government finance industry and submit an annual financial report to the City Council by December 31 for the previous fiscal year.
• Fees for services will be charged directly to users of the services when appropriate and should cover the full cost of service delivery. Fees are to be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that the fee is appropriate for the service provided compared to actual cost or an approved cost index.
• Development impact fees will be established to ensure that new growth pays the cost of infrastructure improvements and is not a burden to existing tax payers.
• The City will invest available cash assets in a manner consistent with the safeguards and diversity that a prudent investor would adhere to with primary emphasis on preservation of principal, sufficient liquidity to cover anticipated payment outflows, and high yields consistent with the first two goals. The City’s investments will be consistent with Section 53601 of the Government Code of the State of California that identifies which types of investments are eligible for investment of public funds and the m aximum percentage of an investment portfolio that is allowed for any one investment.
The City is in compliance with all of its financial policies.
15. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance An addendum to the EIR conducted for the Shepherd North Project was prepared for this Project. The Addendum concludes that the proposed annexation and prezone of the existing subdivision will not cause 256

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Mayor and City Council
Planning and Development Services
June 17, 2024
Consider policy direction on a request for 18 rural County residents seeking annexation (approximately 38 acres) to the City of Clovis for properties located near the southeast corner of Perrin Road and N.
Sunnyside Avenue. Quail Run 18 Association, applicant; Rich Wathen and Jared Callister, representatives.
Staff: George Gonzalez, Senior Planner
Recommendation: Provide Policy Direction
1. Justification Letter
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Councilmembers should consider recusal if a campaign contribution exceeding $250 has been received from the project proponent (developer, applicant, agent, and/or participants) within the preceding 12 months (Government Code 84308).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council consider the Quail Run 18 Association (Applicant) letter (see Attachment 1) provided in this report, together with any public comments offered regarding this item, and provide policy direction regarding the annexation proposal and connection to City water for properties located at the southeast corner of Perrin Road and N. Sunnyside Avenues (approximately 38 acres).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Applicant has requested consideration and direction from the City Council to be able to move forward with the prezoning and annexation of 18 rural residential properties (approximately 38 acres) located on the south side of Perrin Road, east of N. Sunnyside Avenue. Subsequent to the approval of the Shepherd North Project (see Figure 1 below) on March 18, 2024 and May 6, 2024, Planning staff has received the attached justification letter from 18 rural residential property owners requesting annexation and connection to City potable water. Staff is seeking policy direction on the fiscal impacts of annexing a fully developed area into the City for the purpose of securing water. If Council authorizes staff to move forward with the Applicant's request, the City will need to address the following: the tax sharing agreement revenues with the �------------ATTACHMENT7 ____________ �

County; address City standards for water connections; provide City services, purchase/ secure FID water supply; executing associated annexation agreements; and likely other unknown issues associated with this request. City staff will also need to evaluate if the Applicant will be required to annex into the City's Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) and if active wells will require a meter.
When fully developed properties (such as the Quail Run Neighborhood) are annexed into the City, the City only receives a very minor portion of the property taxes going forward, but incurs the total cost of providing all services, such as police and fire. Also, it's important to note on this request if directed to begin the annexation process, that the Applicant would be responsible for all costs associated with the annexation and water connections. This would include the associated construction costs, City impact fees, and LAFCo fees, which in total will likely be several hundred thousand dollars. It is likely that some form of agreement between the City and the Applicant would be necessary to memorialize all conditions of the annexation.
FIGURE 1

BACKGROUND
On March 18, 2024, the City Council approved the Project EIR, sphere of influence expansion, and annexation components for the Shepherd North Project. The annexation component ATTACHMENT 7
264
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.
encompassed only the development area, identified as Vesting Tentative Tract Map 6205 (see Figure 1 above). The Council continued the remaining components of the Project to a date certain, May 6, 2024.
On May 6, 2024, the City Council approved the remaining components of the Shepherd North Project and authorized staff to forward the Fourth Amendment to the MOU to the County Board of Supervisors for consideration and approval.
During the entitlement processing of the Shepherd North Project, some of the neighbors inquired about annexation into the City and if this would be possible with the Wilson TM6205 Project.
Staff informed the neighbors that the annexation of this rural residential neighborhood would need to be processed under separate planning entitlements.
On June 4, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved the Fourth Amendment to the MOU between the County of Fresno and the City of Clovis for the Shepherd North Project.
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
The Quail Run neighborhood (Quail Run 18 Association) is located within the recently expanded sphere of influence boundaries approved by Council on March 18, 2024 for the Shepherd North Project. The current land use designation for the subject area is Rural Residential under the City's general plan land use diagram. If Council directs staff to move forward with the applicant's request, the land use designation would remain the same. The subsequent planning entitlements required to be submitted to initial the request are a pre-zoning and annexation application(s).
In general, the geographical location of the Quail Run neighborhood between the Lennar TM6200 development on the west side of N. Sunnyside Avenue and the recently approved Wilson's TM6205 at the northeast corner of Shepherd and N. Sunnyside Avenues makes access to City water infrastructure feasible. Additionally, with the Council's approval of Wilson's TM6205, the project is conditioned to install a water line along Perrin Road, which is intended to serve the neighborhood in question.
Below, please find a general summary of the requirements by Planning and Development Services, if staff is directed to proceed by Council. It's important to note that the summary below is subject to change based on formal analysis of the proposed project after the submittal of complete planning applications. Upon submittal of planning applications, staff anticipates bringing this back to Council within 4 months for review and consideration.
Planning Division Requirements
The applicant is required to comply with the following Planning Division requirements:
1. Submit formal prezoning and annexation applications to the Planning Division. a. Begin preparing environmental documents;
b. Negotiation of a stand-alone MOU and tax sharing agreement with the County; c. If an agreement with the County is unable to be reached, a funding mechanism for the 18 rural residential properties would be required.
ATTACHMENT 7
265
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.
d. The project would need to address all LAFCo requirements; and e. The Quail Run neighborhood will be responsible for all costs associated with the annexation and water connections, including associated construction costs, City impact fees, and LAFCo fees.
Engineering Division Requirements
The applicant is required to comply with the following Engineering Division requirements:
1. Submit plans for review and approval prepared by an appropriately licensed professional. a. Main lines in the streets with roadway resurfacing;
b. Water services with water meter(s) and transceiver(s); and c. Backflow devices will be required between the well and the home, if the well remains for outdoor irrigation uses.
2. Apply for an Encroachment Permit, which will include an Inspection Fee, for the work to be performed by appropriately licensed and insured contractors.
3. Engineering fees will be due prior to commencing the work for each property that chooses to connect at this time to the public potable water system. a. Water major facilities fee
b. Water oversize fee
c. Water-front footage fee
d. Water meter(s) and transceiver(s) costs

If Council recommends moving forward with the Applicant's request, staff will return with a fiscal impact analysis at the time the project is presented to Council for consideration.
ATTACHMENT 7
266
AGENDA ITEM NO. 16.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Staff is seeking City Council direction on this request to annex the Quail Run neighborhood into the City and connect to the City's potable water system. If directed to proceed, staff will direct the Applicant to submit formal planning entitlements and begin preparing environmental documents. The City receives a very minor portion of property taxes when annexing developed rural residential properties. Therefore, it's important to note that the City would need to negotiate a stand-alone tax sharing agreement with the County of Fresno, specifically for the Quail Run neighborhood. Additionally, the City will request that the County transfer the property tax equivalent of what the City would have received had they developed in the City. If the County is unwilling to share the property taxes, staff will recommend that the Council consider a funding mechanism for the 18 rural residential properties equivalent to what the City would have received had they developed in the City.
The Quail Run neighborhood will be responsible for all costs associated with the annexation and water connections, including associated City impact fees and LAFCo fees.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
If directed by the City Council to proceed, staff will bring the prezoning and annexation request back to Council for formal consideration, along with the fiscal impact analysis. If Council approves the annexation at that time, a resolution authorizing staff to apply to LAFCo will be part of the action request.

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) in the amount of $131,520 for the review and update of the City’s Development Impact Fee Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In August 2025, City staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on PlanetBids for a two-phase project focused on evaluating and updating the City’s Development Impact Fee (DIF) Program.
Phase 1 – Evaluation of the Current Fee Program
This phase includes a comprehensive review of the City’s existing DIF Program to assess legal compliance, policy alignment, and consistency with regional practices.
Phase 2 – Revisions to the Major Facilities Fees Program, Optional Re -Evaluation and Fee Recommendations, and Nexus Study Updates
This phase includes a restructuring of the City’s major facilities fee programs (water and sewer), developing fee calculation tools and staff training materials, and providing recommendations for alternative collection methods. The consultant may also propose additional program modifications for City consideration and potential contract amendment.
Only one proposal was r eceived—from Willdan Financial Services . Their submission was detailed and demonstrated a strong understanding of the project scope. Following an interview 268
AGENDA ITEM NO. 17.
with their project team, City staff unanimously concluded that Willdan possesses the expertise and approach necessary to deliver a comprehensive, defensible, and effective update to the City’s DIF Program.
BACKGROUND
The City assesses a variety of cost-recovery based development fees in accordance with Clovis City Council’s guiding principle that “devel opment pays its way.” These fees help fund the infrastructure necessary to serve new growth, including major facilities such as sewer, water, community sanitation, parks, major streets, public safety, and the undergrounding of overhead utilities.
Over time, the City has implemented numerous updates to these fees to meet the evolving needs of Clovis’s growing community. These updates have been driven by factors such as changes in state law, the 2014 General Plan Update (which is currently undergoing revision), the 2017/2018 Master Plan Update, and various annual adjustments made in response to current market conditions.
Recently, at the request of the City Council, the City Attorney’s Office, and the development community, City staff was asked to explore what an in-depth analysis and potential restructuring of the current fee programs would entail. Staff determined that the most effective approach would be to engage an outside consultant to conduct this analysis, collaborate with stakeholder groups and City staff, and ultimately update and refine the existing program. The goal is to ensure the revised Development Impact Fee (DIF) Program continues to uphold the principle that “development pays its way”, adhere to all state laws and local policies, while also being easier for staff and the public to understand and apply.
To achieve this, staff developed a detailed Request for Proposals (RFP) ( Exhibit A to the attached agreement) that divides the work into two distinct phases. This approach ensures the entire program is reviewed comprehensively and maintains a unified timeline for future updates.
The objective of this project is to produce an updated DIF Program that meets the City’s current needs while also accounting for future growth. The selected consultant will provide staff training and develop tools to enhance transparency and usability, including updated fee estimation tools, mapping resources for each fee program, and a user-friendly self-service tool allowing the public to generate fee estimates.
City staff has also emphasized that stakeholder engagement will be essential to the project’s success. Willdan’s proposal includes up to ten (10) in -person meetings with City staff, stakeholders, and/or the City Council.
According to Willdan’s proposed schedule, the project is expected to begin in January 2026 and take approximately 12 months to complete . Around the project’s midpoint, staff plans to host a Council workshop to share progress and get feedback before finalizing the report. City Staff anticipates bringing the final product back to council for approval in early 2027.

INTRODUCTION
CITY OF CLOVIS BACKGROUND
Located in the heart of the great San Joaquin Valley, in the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area, the City of Clovis (“City”) is situated in the midst of the richest agricultural area in the world. Since the City’s incorporation in 1912, Clovis remains a community that values its citizens, its “way of life”, and its future as a leader and innovator in the San Joaquin Valley. Clovis has maintained the small-town community spirit envisioned by its early founders, as reflected in its nationally acclaimed school district, responsive safety services, engaged local government, and vibrant community events. Availability of housing, quality hospital care, a mild climate, access to varied recreational opportunities, and strong community identity all contribute to Clovis’ recognition and reputation as a great place to live.
GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City is interested in securing an experienced consultant with a proven track record to conduct an in-depth review and evaluation of the City’s complete Development Impact Fee (“DIF”) program (hereinafter referred to as “Project”). The assigned consultant (or consultants) will be tasked to conduct an in-depth analysis of the current fee structure and methodology for each fee assessed by the City. This work includes a thorough review of the nexus analysis for each fee. As a part of the evaluation, the Consultant will also be asked to recommend which fees should be updated, and to propose any additional fees that could be considered, as appropriate. The City’s fees must comply with any applicable state and federal law including but not limited to the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code section 66000 et seq., also known as Assembly Bill 1600 (1987)).
The Project is divided into two distinct phases.
Phase 1 will consist of a thorough assessment of the current Development Impact Fee (DIF) program for all fees, including applicable sections of the City Municipal Code and City Policies.
Phase 2 will consist of updates to the City’s current Major Facilities Fee Programs (water and sewer) as well as a full nexus report including updates to the nexus studies for all the City’s existing fee programs to ensure compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act. It is the expectation of the City that staff training for all revised fees be included in this phase as well as a presentation to all stakeholders and Clovis City Council. The second part of Phase 2, if initiated at the City’s discretion, will be based on the findings from Phase 1 and will consist of an update to the remaining fees in the DIF program, including revised fees and implementation strategies. A detailed task breakdown for each phase can be found under Project Scope.
Consultants shall provide a detailed cost estimate for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project. The cost estimate may include optional add-ons for Phase 2, subject to City review and approval following the completion of Phase1.

DEVELOPMENT FEE PROGRAM BACKGROUND
The City assesses a variety of cost-recovery based development fees in accordance with Clovis City Council’s guiding principle that “development pays its way.” These fees help fund the infrastructure necessary to serve new growth, including major facilities such as sewer, water, community sanitation, parks, major streets, public safety, and the undergrounding of overhead utilities.
Over time, the City has implemented numerous updates to these fees to meet the evolving needs of Clovis’s growing community. These updates have been driven by factors such as changes in state law, the 2014 General Plan Update (which is currently undergoing revision), the 2017/2018 Master Plan Update, and various annual adjustments made in response to current market conditions.
The City will provide detailed information on each fee program. Such information may include files in Excel format and maps in PDF format. Additionally, the City will provide the selected consultant with:
City Council agenda packages for the rates that took effect on the nine (9) following dates:
2013-09-17
2015-05-04
2018-09-10
2019-09-16
2020-08-17
2021-07-19
2022-08-29
2023-08-07
2025-07-21
City Council agenda packages and supporting spreadsheets in MS Excel format for the rates that took effect on:
2024-08-12
2025-05-13 (Water Major Facilities revision only)
The City’s project team, which possess familiarity with the DIF Program and its history, will be available to support the selected consultant by providing relevant background information, answering questions, and offering insights based on their experience.
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
APPLICANT REQUIREMENTS
The City is expecting that all proposals received are prepared by qualified firms with experience evaluating DIFs, advising municipalities on their implementation and making suggested refinements of these programs. As a part of this RFP, all proposers are to provide at least three (3) references within the last five (5) years for similar projects.

Re: Proposal to Conduct a Development Impact Fee Review and Update, Including Nexus Studies, for the City of Clovis
Dear Mr. Smith:
Willdan Financial Services (“Willdan”) is pleased to present this proposal to the City of Clovis (“City”) to conduct a comprehensive Development Impact Fee Review and Update, including the preparation of Nexus Studies. Willdan’s project approach ensures the preparation of a fee program that is transparent, technically sound, and defensible. With unmatched impact fee experience, Willdan is particularly well positioned to serve the City and support its long -term infrastructure and growth objectives. Outlined below are the advantages and benefits that Willdan will provide for the City.
Unmatched experience implementing and defending fee programs - Willdan has assisted more than 100 California agencies with the development and update of all major fee types. Each engagement has required defensible documentation and coordination of fee program changes across agency departments and with the development community. Our team has experience negotiating fee structures with stakeholders and defending them in public meetings, ensuring programs are both equitable and durable.
Compliance with State law and evolving requirements - In addition to preparing the technical analyses, Willdan advises clients on the advantages and disadvantages of different fee schedule structures (e.g., citywide versus zoned, broader versus more detailed land use categories). We ensure programs comply with the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code Section 66000 et seq.) and remain defensible and transparent. Our staff is also current on requirements introduced by AB 602 (2022), which establishes additional standards for nexus studies and adoption processes.
Innovative Methodologies - Drawing on national experience, Willdan provides unique insights to address a variety of challenges. Our ability to present clear options and evaluate trade-offs ensures that studies are balanced and pragmatic.
Where appropriate, we support stakeholder eng agement through structured meetings that foster understanding of fee justification and the role of impact fees in funding community infrastructure.
Successful project completion - Willdan has successfully completed many development impact fee studies, including recent work in the Counties of Madera, San Benito, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare, Tuolumne, and Yolo, as well as the Cities of Carpinteria, Garden Grove, Hollister, Murrieta, Oroville, Rialto, and Santa Clara. Our track record demonstrates our ability to deliver high-quality, defensible programs that withstand public and technical scrutiny.
Willdan Financial Services is proud to submit this proposal to the City of Clovis. Mr. James Edison will serve as the prime contact if you wish to discuss any aspect of this submittal , please contact him at [email protected] or via phone at (510) 912-4687.
As a Vice President of Willdan Financial Services, I am authorized to bind the firm to the terms of this proposal, as well as the subsequent agreement.
Sincerely,
WILLDAN FINANCIAL SERVICES

Review and Updates to the Development Impact Fee Program 1
City of Clovis, CA
4. Project Understanding
Project Approach
As part of the larger financial planning effort for the City’s future development, the City of Clovis seeks to understand the financial impacts that foreseeable growth will have on public services and infrastructure. This review of the Development Impact Fee program will help ensure that the City’s fee structure remains legally compliant, technically defensible, and aligned with its long -range planning goals. A well -structured program is central to maintaining the principle that new development contributes its fair share toward the cost of public facilities and services needed to support growth.
The City has identified the need to update its impact fees so they reflect current capital costs, growth projections, and facility standards. The study will be prepared consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code 66000 et seq.), including new r equirements established by AB 602, which place additional emphasis on nexus documentation and transparency. In addition to ensuring compliance with State law, the updated fee program must be clear to the development community, practical for staff to administer, and transparent to the public.
The review will involve a comprehensive evaluation of the City’s current fee structure and methodologies, including careful consideration of reimbursement and credit policies, capital facility plans, and growth assumptions. It will also assess opportunities to expand or restructure fees to address unmet needs and ensure that infrastructure funding keeps pace with development. A key focus will be on major infrastructure categories such as water, sewer, transportation, parks, public safety, and general govern ment facilities, with attention to how updated costs and standards affect the calculation of maximum justified fees.
As part of this review, the study will focus on the following fee programs currently included in the City’s DIF structure:
▪ Sewer Fee ▪ Water Fee
▪ Major Street Fees ▪ Utility Undergrounding Fee
▪ Park Acquisition and Development Fee ▪ Community Sanitation Fee ▪ Fire Department Fee ▪ Police Department Fee
▪ Library Fee ▪ Administrative Charges
Project Objectives
In addition to evaluating the current set of fees, the study will help the City identify where adjustments or new funding tools may be needed to keep pace with future growth. The analysis will address the long -term relationship between development and infr astructure demand, while also considering the City’s housing obligations, capital improvement planning, and service standards. By looking at both existing conditions and projected needs, the study will provide City leaders with a clear picture of how futur e development impacts facilities and where funding gaps may occur. This broader perspective will allow Clovis to make informed policy choices that balance fiscal sustainability, legal compliance, and fairness to the development community.
To accomplish this objective, this study will:
▪ Develop a technically defensible fee justification, based on the reasonable relationship and deferential review standards;
▪ Review facility standards, capital facilities plans and costs, and development and growth assumptions (including the recent Infrastructure Task Force report and facilities master plans); ▪ Identify potential additional fees to address unmet future capital facilities needs ; ▪ Provide a schedule of maximum-justified fees by land use category; and ▪ Provide comprehensive documentation of assumptions, methodologies, and results, including findings required by the Mitigation Fee Act.

Review and Updates to the Development Impact Fee Program 2
City of Clovis, CA
5. Scope of Work and Work Plan
Project Methodology
Public Facilities Financing in California
The changing fiscal landscape in California during the past 40 years has steadily undercut the financial capacity of local governments to fund infrastructure. Four dominant trends stand out:
1. The passage of a st ring of tax limitation measures starting with Proposition 13 in 1978 and continuing through the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996;
2. Declining popular support for bond measures to finance infrastructure for the next generation of residents and businesses;
3. Steep reductions in Federal and State assistance; and
4. Permanent shifting by the State of local tax resources to the State General Fund to offset deficit spending brought on by recessions.
Faced with these trends, many cities and counties have had to adopt a policy of "growth pays its own way." This policy shifts the burden of funding infrastructure expansion from existing rate and taxpayers onto new development. This funding shift has been accomplished primarily through the imposition of assessments, special taxes, and development impact fees, also known as public facilities fees. Assessments and special taxes require approval of property owners or registered voters and are appropriate when the funded facilities are directly related to the developing property.
Development impact fees, on the other hand, are an appropriate funding source for facilities that benefit development jurisdiction-wide. Development fees need only a majority vote of the legislative body for adoption.
Approach and Methodology
Willdan’s methodology for calculating public facilities fees is both simple and flexible. Simplicity is important so that the development community and the public can easily understand the justification for the fee program. At the same time, we use our expertise to reasonably ensure that the program is technically defensible.
Flexibility is important, so we can tailor our approach to the available data, and the agency’s policy objectives. Our understanding of the technical standards established by statutes and case law suggests that a range of approaches are technically defensible. Consequently , we can address policy objectives related to the fee program , such as economic development and affordable housing. Flexibil ity also enables us to avoid excessive engineering costs associated with detailed facility planning. We calculate the maximum justifiable impact fee and provide flexibility for the agency to adopt fees up to that amount.
Development impact fees are calculated to fund the cost of facilities required to accommodate growth. The four steps followed in an impact fee study include:
▪ Estimate existing development and future growth: Identify a base year for existing development and a growth forecast that reflects increased demand for public facilities; ▪ Identify facility standards: Determine the facility standards used to plan for new and expanded facilities; ▪ Determine facilities required to serve new development and their costs: Estimate the total amount and cost of planned facilities, and identify the share required to accommodate new development; and ▪ Calculate fee schedule: Allocate facilities costs per unit of new development to calculate the public facilities fee schedule.
We discuss key aspects of our approach to each of these steps in the subsections that follow.
Growth Projections
In most cases, we recommend use of long -range market-based projections of new development. By “long -range” we suggest 20 to 30 years to: capture the total demand often associated with major public facility investments; and support analysis of debt financing, if needed. In contrast to build out projections, market -based projections provide a more realistic estimate of development across all land uses. Build out projections typically overestimate commercial and industrial development because of the oversupply of these land uses relative to residential development.

Facility Standards
The key public policy issue in development impact fee studies is the identification of facility standards (second bullet above). Facility standards document a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for new facilities. Standards ensure that new development does not fund deficiencies associated with existing development.
Our approach recognizes three separate components of facility standards:
1. Demand standards determine the amount of facilities required to accommodate growth. Examples include park acres per thousand residents, square feet of library space per capita, or gallons of water per day. Demand standards may also reflect a level of service such as the vehicles-to-capacity (V/C) ratio used in traffic planning;
2. Design standards determine how a facility should be designed to meet expected demand, for example park improvement requirements and technology infrastructure for office space. Design standards are typically not explicitly evaluated as part of an impact fee analysis but ca n have a significant impact on the cost of facilities.
Our approach incorporates current facility design standards into the fee program to reflect the increasing construction cost of public facilities; and
3. Cost standards are an alternate method for determining the amount of facilities required to accommodate growth based on facility costs per unit of demand. Cost standards are useful when demand standards were not explicitly developed for the facility planning process. Cost standards also enable different types of facilities to be analyzed based on a single measure (cost or value), useful when disparate facilities are funded by a single fee program.
Examples include facility costs per capita, per vehicle trip, or cost per gallon of water per day.
Identifying New Development Facility Needs and Costs
We can take several different approaches to identify facility needs and costs to serve new development. Typically, this is a two-step process: 1) identify total facility needs; and 2) allocate to new development its fair share of those needs.
Total facility needs are often identified through a master facility planning process that typically takes place concurrent with or prior to conducting the fee study. Engineered facility plans are particularly important in the areas of traffic, water, sewer, and storm drain due to the specialized technical analysis required to identify facility needs.
There are three common methods for determining new development’s fair shar e of planned facilities costs: 1) the existing inventory method; 2) the planned facilities method; and 3) the system plan method. Often the method selected depends on the degree to which the community has engaged in comprehensive facility master planning to identify facility needs.
The formula used by each approach and the advantages and disadvantages of each method is summarized as follows:
Existing Inventory Method
The existing inventory method allocates costs based on the ratio of existing facilities to demand from existing development as follows:
Current Value of Existing Facilities = $/unit of demand Existing Development Demand Under this method new development funds the expansion of facilities at the same standard currently serving existing development. By definition, the existing inventory method results in no facility deficiencies attributable to existing development. This method is often used when a long-range plan for new facilities is not available. Only the initial facilities to be funded with fees are identified in the fee study. Future facilities to serve growth are identified through an annual Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and budget process, possibly after completion of a new facility master plan.
Planned Facilities Method
The planned facilities method allocates costs based on the ratio of planned facility costs to demand from new development as follows:
Cost of Planned Facilities = $/unit of demand New Development Demand This method is appropriate when specific planned facilities can be identified that only benefit new development.
Examples include street improvements to avoid deficient levels of service or a sewer trunk line extension to a previously undeveloped area. Thi s method is appropriate when planned facilities would not serve existing development. Under this method new development funds the expansion of facilities at the standards used for the master facility plan.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 17.
Review and Updates to the Development Impact Fee Program 4
City of Clovis, CA
System Plan Method
This method calculates the fee based on the ratio of the value of existing facilities plus the cost of planned facilities divided by demand from existing plus new development:
Value of Existing Facilities + Cost of Planned Facilities = $/unit of demand Existing + New Development Demand This method is useful when planned facilities need to be analyzed as part of a system that benefits both existing and new development. It is difficult, for example, to allocate a new fire station solely to new development when that station will operate as part of an integrated system of fire stations that work together to achieve the desired level of service.
Police substations, civic centers, and regional parks are examples of similar facilities.
The system plan method ensures that new development does not pay for existing deficiencies. Often, facility standards based on policies such as those found in General Plans are higher than existing facility standards. This method enables the calculation of the existing deficiency required to bring existing development up to the policy -based standard. The local agency must secure non -fee funding for that portion of planned facilities, required to correct the deficiency, to ensure that new development receives the level of service funded by the impact fee.
Calculating the Fee Schedule
At its simplest, the fee schedule uses the cost per unit of demand discussed in the last subsection to generate the fee schedule. This unit cost is multiplied by the demand associated with a new development project to calculate the fee for that project. Th e fee schedule uses different demand measures by land use category to provide a reasonable relationship between the type of development and the amount of the fee. We are familiar with a wide range of methods for identifying appropriate land use categories and demand measures depending on the study.
Related Approach Issues
Funding and Financing Strategies
In our experience, one of the most common problems with impact fee programs and with many CIPs is that the program or plan is not financially constrained to anticipated revenues. The result is a “wish list” of projects that generate community expectations that often cannot be fulfilled. Our approach is to integrate the impact fee program into the local agency’s existing CIPs while encouraging those plans to be financially constrained to available resources. We clearly state the cost of correcting existing deficiencies, if any, to document the relationship between the fee program and the need for additional non-fee funding.
We can also address one of the most significant drawbacks of an impact fee program – the inability to support conventional public debt financing, so projects can be built before all fee revenues have been received. In collaboration with financial advisors and underwriters, we have developed specific underwriting criteria so that fees can be used to pay back borrowing if another source of credit exists. Typically, this approach involves the use of Certificates of Participation or revenue bonds that are calibrated so that they can be fully repaid using impact fee revenues.
Economic Development Concerns
The development community often is concerned that fees and other exactions will become too high for development to be financially feasible under current market conditions. Local agencies have several strategies to address this concern, including:
▪ Conducting an analysis of the total burden placed on development, by exactions, to see if feasibility may be compromised by the proposed fees;
▪ Gathering similar data on the total fee burden imposed by neighboring or competing jurisdictions; ▪ Developing a plan for phasing in the fees over several years to enable the real estate market to adjust; ▪ Providing options for developers to finance impact fees through assessment s and other types of financing districts; and
▪ Imposing less than the maximum justified fee.
If less than the maximum justified fee is imposed, we will work with staff to identify alternative revenues sources for the CIP. The CIP should remain financially feasible to maintain realistic expectations among developers, policymakers, and the public.

Stakeholder Participation
Stakeholder participation throughout the study supports a successful adoption process. Our approach is to create consensus first, around the need for facilities based on agreed upon facility standards. Second, we seek consensus around a feasible funding strategy for these needs, leading to an appropriate role for impact fees.
Gaining consensus among various groups requires a balanced discussion of both economic development and community service objectives. Often, our approach includes formation of an advisory committee to promote outreach to and input from the development commu nity and other stakeholders. We have extensive experience facilitating meetings to explain the program and gain input.
Program Implementation
Fee programs require a certain level of administrative support for successful implementation. Our final report will include recommendations for appropriate procedures, such as:
▪ Regularly updating development forecasts;
▪ Regularly updating fees for capital project cost inflation; ▪ Regularly updating capital facility needs based on changing demands; ▪ Developing procedures for developer credits and reimbursements; and ▪ Including an administrative charge in the fee program.

City of East Palo Alto
Development Impact Fee Nexus and Financial Feasibility Study In 2023, Willdan was selected through a competitive bidding process to conduct a comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus and Financial Feasibility Study for the City. The planned growth outlined in the City’s 2035 Vista General Plan represented signific ant changes to the anticipated development of the City, and the City’s impact fee program was due for an update pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act. Additionally, there has been an increasing interest in development within the Ravenswood Business District/4 Corners Transit-Oriented Development Specific Plan area that required modifications to the City’s infrastructure and financing plans.
To address these challenges, Willdan carried out a comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study update to revise the existing fees and conducted a Financial Feasibility Analysis to evaluate the effects of the maximum supportable impact fees on development projects. The impact fees included Water Capacity, Parks and Trails, Public Facilities, Transportation Infrastructure, and Storm Drainage.
For this project, the Willdan team evaluated nine development prototypes, compared impact fees with six similar cities, conducted extensive stakeholder outreach, and collaborated closely with City staff. The project was completed in March 2025.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2024-25 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
2. Statement on Auditing Standards Letter
RECOMMENDATION
For the Council to approve the 2024-25 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR) are a primary objective source of information to most people concerned about a government's financial condition. Taxpayers are interested in the amount of revenues and expenditures. Investors and bond-rating agencies are interested in the ability of a jurisdiction to meet its debt obligations. For the City Council, the financial reports provide an opportunity to determine compliance with budgetary appropriations as well as the status of the government's assets and liabilities and the financial condition of the City.
The City of Clovis' ACFR was audited and received an unqualified opinion from The PUN Group, LLP, a firm of independent, licensed certified public accountants, which mea ns the financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, are free of material misstatement and are fairly presented in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
BACKGROUND
The 2024-25 ACFR represents the City’s financial, operational, and current economic condition for the fiscal year ending June 30, 202 5. The City’s financial statements for this period have been audited by The PUN Group, Certified Public Accountants, the City’s independent auditing firm. Their Independent Auditors Report has been incorporated into the ACFR, and their opinion letter is included on pages 13 -15. The auditors have also prepared the Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS114) letter (Attachment 2) that was submitted subsequent to the completion of the financial report.
349
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
State law requires the City of Clovis to prepare a complete set of audited financial statements.
The attached 2024-25 ACFR (Attachment 1) fulfills this requirement.
The PUN Group has audited the City’s financial statements prepared by Finance staff for the fiscal year ended June 30, 202 5, and have provided an unqualified (clean) opinion. An unqualified opinion concludes that the ACFR presents fairly, in all material r espects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, and the respective changes in financial position. This audit includes a review of the City’s financial records, internal controls, management of assets and review of major account balances and large dollar activities to validate year-end balances. There were no audit findings for fiscal year 2024-25.
The ACFR is prepared annually in accordance with GAAP and reporting standards established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), as verified during the independent auditor’s examination. The ACFR for fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 continues to comply with the GASB reporting standards.
The financial statement information and audit opinion, as well as additional narrative and statistical information, is presented within the ACFR. The layout of the ACFR follows guidelines established by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). Four major sections are presented:
Introductory Section – This section includes the Letter of Transmittal, which discusses the profile of the City and factors affecting the City’s financial condition along with the City’s long-term policies and plans. Additionally, this section includes the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the prior fiscal year, the City’s Organizational Chart, and a listing of the City of Clovis’ principal officials.
Financial Section – This section includes the Independent Auditor’s Report, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the audited financial statements, the notes to the financial statements and additional required supplementary information.
Statistical Section – This section includes supplemental data not evident in the Financial Section, such as financial trend information and demographic information.
Single Audit Section – This compliance -based audit is required by law for government entities with federal expenditures in excess of $750,000. This audit includes an audit of both the financial statements and the federal grant awards. This section includes the Independent Auditor’s Report on internal controls and compliance for each major grant program along with the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and notes to those expenditures. Finally, the Appropriations Limit Schedule and corresponding notes complete the section.
350
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
Two Kinds of Financial Statements - Two distinct forms of information are provided in the basic financial statements:
Government-wide statements. These are consolidated financial statements for all of the City’s operations on a full accrual basis of accounting which record revenues when they are earned and expenses when a liability is incurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid. They are not presented on a separate fund basis; instead, fiscal operations are organized into two major activities: governmental and business -type. They will have a “net position” focus which is designed to show the overall financial health of the government similar to a private sector’s balance sheet and income statement. It excludes interfund transactions such as internal service funds and fiduciary funds. Expenses (which may include allocated “indirect costs”) are shown both gross and net of related revenues such as fees and grants (see page 31).
Fund statements. In meeting stewardship and accountability concerns, financial statements are also presented on a fund basis - but not using the same basis of accounting as the government- wide statements for governmental funds (see pages 32-43). Governmental funds such as the General Fund, Measure Y Fund, Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting where revenues are recognized when measurable and available and expenditures are recognized when the liability is incurred.
Proprietary Funds including Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Fiduciary Funds are reported on a full accrual basis of accounting.
Because there are differences in the basis of accounting and scope of transactions, there are significant differences between these two financial statements - but they are not obvious. For this reason, a detailed reconciliation between them is required as part of the audited basic financial statements (see page 34).
The ACFR includes all funds of th e City. In addition to the City's funds, the Clovis Successor Agency, a private purpose trust fund separate from the City, is reported in the ACFR.
This is the thirty -seventh year that the City's Finance Department has prepared the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The previous reports prepared by the Finance Department (1987-88 through 202 3-24) were submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for consideration of the GFOA Certificate of Achievement Program. The City subsequently received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting presented by the GFOA for each of these years. We believe the report for 2024-25 continues to meet the requirements of the Certificate of Achievement Program and will be submit ted to GFOA for review.
FISCAL IMPACT
This information provided in the ACFR is important to the Council, public, and financial institutions to affirm that the City's financial activity is accounted for in accordance with GAAP.
In addition, the ACFR includes all necessary disclosures to provide an understanding of the City's financial activities and fiscal condition.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is formally being submitted to the Council. 351
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
After receiving the ACFR by the Council, the ACFR will be distributed to interested parties, other agencies, financial institutions, bond-rating services, and copies will be made available for public review. In addition, the ACFR will be submitted to t he GFOA for consideration of the GFOA Certificate of Achievement Program.

November 26, 2025
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Citizens of the City of Clovis:
It is with pleasure that I present to you the City of Clovis A nnual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). This report has been formatted to comply with the financ ial reporting model as prescribed by the Governmental Accounti ng Standards Board (GASB). These statements have been audited in accordance with Gener ally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) by a firm of licensed certified public accountants as required by State law. Pur suant to that requirement, we hereby issue the ACFR of the City of Clovis for the fiscal y ear ended June 30, 2025.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the financ es of the City of Clovis. Consequently, managem ent ass umes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City of Clovis has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliabl e information for the preparation of the City of Clovis’ financial s tatements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh thei r benefits, the City of Clovis’ comprehensive fr amework of inter nal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance t hat the financial statem ents will be free from material misstatements. As ma nagement, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Clovis’ financial statements have been audited by Th e Pun Group LLP. The goal of the independent audit was to provide r easonable assurance that t he financial statem ents of the City of Clovis for t he fiscal year ended June 30, 2 025, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involv ed ex amining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates m ade by management; and evaluating the ov erall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was reasonabl e basis for rendering an unmodified op inion that the City of Clovis’ financial statements for the fi scal year ended June 30, 2025, are fairly pr esented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.

GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complem ent MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of Clovi s’ MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
Profile of the Government
The City of Clovis, inc orporated in 1912, as a general law City of the State of Ca lifornia, is located near the middle of t he state in the San Joaquin Vall ey. The Central Valley is considered to be a national and world leader in the agricultural industry. The City of Clovis currently occupies over 25 square miles and serves a population of 129,121.
The City of Clovis operates under the council-m anager form of governm ent. Policy-making and legislative authority are vested in a govern ing council consisting of the m ayor and four other members. The council is elected on a non-partis an bas is. Council members ser ve four-year staggered terms, with two council me mbers elected in one election and three elected in another election, s eparated by two year s. The mayo r is selected from among the council members by the council mem bers and serv es a two-y ear term. All five members of the governing board are elected at large. The council is re sponsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appoint ing committees, and hiring the City’s manager and attorney. The City manager is responsible for carr ying out the policies and ordinances of the governing council, for ov erseeing the day-to-day operations of the government, and for appointing the heads of the various departments.
The City of Clovis provides a full range of serv ices, including police and fire protection; the construction, maintenance, and cleaning of str eets and other infrastructure; planning and development services; water service; refuse collection, dis posal, and r ecycling services; sewer service; s torm drainage; transit services; recreation activities and cultural events; and general administration.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. All departments of the City are requir ed to submit requests for appr opriations to the City manager during the second week of March eac h year. The City manager uses these requests along with input from the council to dev elop a proposed budget. By the second Monday in May the pr oposed budget is presented to the City council for rev iew. The council is required to hold public hear ings on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget by no later than June 30, the close of the City of Clovis’ fiscal year. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund and department. The City manager may make transfers of appropriations between departments within a specific fund of up to $5,000 and up to $2,500 from reserves.
Transfers in excess of thos e amounts require council action. Budget-t o-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. Fo r the general fund, the budget-t o-actual comparison is presented on page 35 as part of the basic financial statements. For all other governmental funds with appropriated annual budgets, other than the general fund, this comparison is presented in the governmental fund subsection of this report, which starts on page 89. 4 364
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial stat ements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader pers pective of the specific environment within which the City of Clovis operates.
Local Economy. The City’s unemployment rate as of June 2025 is approximately 5.3%, a slight increase from 4.7% in June 2024. This
reflects broader statewide and national trends of
economic cooling. While Clovis continues to outperform many peer cities, signs of a slowdown are emerging.
The City is now experiencing a decline in local General Fund sales tax revenue, following a period of historically high collections in 2023 and early 2024. This decline is attributed to persistent inflationary pressures, elevated intere st rates, and shifts in consumer behavior.
Although Clovis has maintained higher-than-aver age retail sales and strong hotel occupancy rates compared to other cities and the state, t he rate of revenue growth has slowed and is no longer considered sustainable.
Inflation, which peaked near 10% in 2023, has moderated to around 3.8% in mid-2025.
However, the Federal Reserve has maintained high interest rates to curb demand, which continues to impact borrowing, investment, and real estate activity.
The national economy is forecasted to slow further, though a recession is not currently projected for the coming year. Nonetheless, early indicators of economic softening are evident. As demonstrated during the 2020 recession, Clovis’ long-term strategy of building a diverse and resilient economy remains critical to navigating uncertainty. The City’s ability to attract high-quality businesses, employees, and residents continues to be a stabilizing force.
The City is also adapting to a rapidly cha nging economic environment. The rise of non- taxable digital services and delivery-based commerce is reducing reliance on traditional brick- and-mortar retail. These trends are being addre ssed in the General Plan Update and through initiatives like the Shaw Avenue Revitalization Strategy.
Clovis has also seen continued growth in entrepreneurial start-ups , which the City has actively supported. These ventures are helping to diversify the local economy and create new opportunities.
As the City continues to analyze the economic shifts accelerated by the pandemic, it is clear that Clovis remains on solid economic footing. The community’s strengths—a well-educated population, strong infrastructure, sound land use policies, and a culture of hard work— position it well for long-term success. Maintain ing a spirit of partnership with local businesses will be essential to achieving shared goals and ensuring a vibrant economy that supports the success of all residents.
The City of Clovis is part of t he Fresno/Clovis Metropolitan Area. This includes the City of Clovis, City of Fresno and the developed areas of the County of Fresno. The population of Fresno County is 1,037,053 as of January 1, 2025. The City’s popul ation of 129,121 experienced a .2% growth in 2025 compared to a .2% growth rate in th e County. There are approximately 432,000 jobs in Fr esno County. The City of Clovi s has 59,300 employed out of a total labor force of 62,600 with many Clovis residents employed outside of the City limits. 5 365
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
Major employers include Target
and Costco wit h over 400 employees, Clovis Community
Hospital with over 3,000 employees, Wawona Frozen Foods with over 700 employees, Anlin Industries with 500 employees, t he County of Fresno with over 1,800 employees, and the largest employer, Clovis Unified School Dis trict with over 5,800 employees. Of the approximately 40,500 total jobs in Clovis, 14,700 jobs are generated by the City’s top ten employers.
Long-term financial planning. As part of the City of Clovis l and use planning process, the City’s completed General Plan is at the top of th e City’s land use regulation hierarchy. It is the foundation for most of the Council’s budgeting decisions in terms of capital facilities, staffing, programs, utility infrastructure, and levels of service; it establishes a land use pattern for lands beyond the City limit; it provides the vision and guidance for capital improvements and the development of City infras tructure; and it is used to cr eate development impact fees and provides the basis for environmental analysis of the growth of th e City. The plan is intended to guide development for a period of ten years and will be the basis of the City’s annual 5-year operating and capital forecast.
Part of the previous General Plan was the construction of a wa stewater treatment plant to serve the needs of the new growth area. The plant is expected to accommodate growth through 2033 when construction of phase two of the facility is anticipated. The wastewater treatment plant creates approximately 2.8 million ga llons of disinfected recycled water each day and distributes this water through a “pur ple pipe” distribution system for landscape irrigation throughout the east side of the City. The reuse of this water will help conserve and manage a limited water supply.
Also, to finance current growth, the City has in pl ace a variety of user and developer fees to pay for streets, parks, water wells and lines, and sewer lines. The City reviews these fees on an annual basis to ensure that the f ee structure is in line with the co st of construction. The Water and Sewer Funds have approved annual increases of 3% into the future if necessary.
The Community Sanitation Fund has approved annual increases of 4% into the future if needed. For fiscal year 2024/25, the City implemented a 3% annual increase in water and sewer rates and a 4% annual increase in refuse, residential recycling, organics and street sweeping rates. The Sewer Fund bond surcharge of $7.30 was fully rebated for the fiscal year.
Structurally Balanced Budget Policy. Prior to the economic re cession, in fiscal year 2006/07, the City Council utilized the em ergency reserve when budgetary demand for services exceeded available resources. However, with a decline in building activity beginning in the fall of 2007, the City Council acted quickly to cut costs and services to ensure a balanced budget. Although it was necessary in 200 7/08 to utilize addition al funds from the emergency reserve, the efforts of the Council to develop a “structurally balanced budget” has paid off and the reserve has been rebuilt from 5. 5% of expenditures in 2007/08 to 17.6% of the 2025/26 general fund budgeted expend itures. The Council is determined to maintain a structurally balanced budget where current es timated expenditures are within projected current revenues in order to provide budgetary stability for all operating budgets.
Assigned for Emergencies. The City currently has a policy to assign a portion of its fund balance for emergencies. These emergencies can range from major catastrophic incidents to significant economic downturns. The City Council annually consi ders an increase in the fund balance assigned for emergencies whenever ther e is unexpected or one-time revenue or 6 366
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
expenditure savings are realized. The use of the assigned fund balance must be approved by 4/5ths of the Council.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Rep
orting to the Cit y of Clovis for its ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This was the thirty se venth consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. To be aw arded a Certificate of Achievement, the City published an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR. This report satisfied both GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a per iod of one year only. We believ e that our current ACFR continues to meet the Certific ate of Achievement Progr am requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
In addition, the City also received the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its annual budget document dated Ju ly 1, 2025. To qualify for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the governments’ budget document wa s judged to be proficient in several categories, including as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device.
The preparation of this report has been accomplished with the efficient and dedicated service
of the City’s Finance Department. I would like to express my appreciation to everyone who
assisted in its preparation, especially Susan Evans, Angela Papazian, Jose Cortez, Jose Reynoso, Ran Chan, Emily Pimentel and Elena Me
ndrin.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
of the City of Clovis
Clovis, 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 f und information of the City of Clovis , California (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 pr esent fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the bus iness-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, cash flows, and the budgetary comparison schedule for the Gene ral Fund, 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 responsib ilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audi t of the Financial Statem ents 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 a Matter – Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note V.F to the financial statements , the City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences , effective July 1, 2024. The implementation of this standard required the City to change its method of ac counting for compensated absences and resulted in a restatement of beginning net position as of July 1, 2024. 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 pres entation 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 financi al 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.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement wh en 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 contro l. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individual ly 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Un ited States of America and Government Auditing Standards, we
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financ ial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures res ponsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
evaluate the appropriateness of ac counting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and cert ain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stat es of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Schedules of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedule of Pension Contributions as listed in the table of contents, be pres ented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or hist orical 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 met hods 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 audi t of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Town’s basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary Comparison Schedules 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 Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary Comparison Schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information incl uded in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not incl ude the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 25, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financ ial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agree ments and other matters. The pur pose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of inte rnal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
This discussion and analysis of the City of Clovis’ financial performance provides an overview of the City’s financial activities for the fisca l year ended June 30, 2025. Please read it in conjunction with the accompanyi ng transmittal letter, the basic financial statements and the accompanying notes to those financial statements.
Financial Highlights
The City’s government-wide total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources (net position) at the close of the fiscal year by $1.11 billion, which is 6% more than 2024. Of this amount, $101 million is in unrestricted net position, which is available to meet the City’s ongoing commitments to citizens and creditors.
The City’s General Fund, including Measure Y, Landscape Maintenance, Parking and Business Improvement (PBI A), and Supplemental Law Enforcement, ended the year with a fund balance of $41 million, which represents a small increase from the previous year. The unassigned balance of $8.2 million is available for carryover to fund future general fund expenditures.
During the year, approved rates for recycling and green waste pr ograms increased by 4% along with a 4% increase in the refuse collection and disposal program. A 3% increase in the Water and Sewer Funds were implemented during the 2025 fiscal year.
The City continued to rebate the full sewer bond surcharge of $7.30 per month.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. These statements include all activities of the City of Clovis, using the integrated approach as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34. The Statement of Net Position and Statem ent of Activities provide information about the activities of the City as a whole and present a longer-term view of the City’s finances. Fund financial statements tell how these servic es are financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statem ents also report the City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the City’s most significant funds. The remaining statements provide financial information about activities for which the City acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of those outside the Government.
Reporting the City as a Whole
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide fi nancial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances. These statements include all assets and liabili ties of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting method used by most pr ivate sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid out.
16 376
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
The statement of net position presents information on all the Cit y’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as one indicator of whether the City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed in the most recent fiscal year . All changes of net positi on are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change o ccurs. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported on this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. earned but unused vacation leave).
The government-wide financial statements of the City are divided as follows:
Governmental Activities: Most of the City’s basic services are included here such as public safety, transportation (street and roads), community development, culture and recreation and general government. These services are prim arily financed by property and sales taxes and federal and state grants.
Business-type Activities: The City charges fees to customers to cover the costs of services provided. The City’s utilities, water, sewer, community sanitation (refuse and street cleaning), planning and development services as well as public transit services are included here.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 30-31 of this report.
Fund financial statements. The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the City’s most significant funds, not the City as a whole. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain cont rol over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Some funds are required to be established by State Law or by bond covenants. Managem ent establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or to sh ow the City is meeti ng legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and other money. All the funds of the City can be classified 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 governmen t-wide financial statements.
However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, government al fund financial statements focus on the near-term inflows and outfl ows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at t he end of the fiscal year. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. Such information is useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of the gover nmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is usef ul to compare the information presented for the governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions
. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and
the governmental fund statem ent of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide reconciliation betw een governmental funds and governmental activities. This reconciliation explains the relationship (or differences) between the fund statements and the government-wide statements.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
The City of Clovis maintains seven individual gov ernmental funds. Info rmation is presented separately in the government al funds ’ balance sheet and in the governmental funds’ statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund and the Local Transportation Fund, both of which are considered major funds. Data from the other five funds are combined in to a single aggregated pr esentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonm ajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appr opriated budget for the General Fund. A budgetar y comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance to this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 32-35 of this report.
Proprietary funds. The City has two different types of proprietary funds, enterprise funds and internal service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions represented as business-type activities in the government- wide financial statement s. The City utilizes enterprise funds to account for those activities that are supported primarily by user charges to external users, and includes community sani tation, sewer dispos al, water, transit and planning and development services . Internal service funds are used to account for activities that are supported by user char ges primarily to the City’s other programs and activities and include employee benefits, general services, self-insurance and fleet services. Bec ause all these services predominantly b enefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within gove rnmental activ ities in the government-wide financial statements.
P
roprietary funds provide the same type of infor mation as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for each of the enterpris e funds since they are all major funds . All the internal service funds are combined into a s ingle, aggregated pres entation in the fund financ ial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this repor t. The basic proprie tary fund financial statements can be found on pages 36-41 of this report.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account fo r resources held for the benefits of parties outside the c ity. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the City cannot use these funds to finance its operations. The bas ic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 42-43 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additiona l information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 44-81 of this report.

resources exceeded liabilities and deferred infl ows of resources (net position) by $1.11 billion. Governmental activities finished t he year with a positive ne t position balance of $766 million. Net position incr eased by $48 million as a result of current year operations, but was offset by a $5 million prior per iod adjustment, with a net increase of $43 million, or 6%, over 2024. Business-type activities finished the year with a positive balance of $340 million. Net position increased by $23 million as a result of current year operations, but was offset by a $2 million prior period adjustment, wit h a net increase of an increase of $21 million, or 6%, over 2024. Net position, as noted earlier, may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City’s health of financial position.
Of the total net position, $953 m illion, or 86%, is the City’s net investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings and im provements, machinery and equi pment and the road network) less any related debt used to acquire those asse ts that is still outstanding. The City’s investment in capital assets increased $48 m illion, restricted net position increased by $7 million and unrestricted net posit ion increased by $10 million, a ccounting for the increase in total net position of $65 million. This is primarily due to the City’s investment in the road network, buildings and related improvements, and machinery and equipment.
The majority of the City’s long-term liabilities re late to the City’s net pension liability and the debt related to the acquisition of capital assets. Some of th ose assets include the City’s corporation yard, fire stations , police vehicles and sewer and water infrastructure including the surface water treatment plant and the sewer treatment-water reuse facility. These capital assets are utilized to provide services to citiz ens and are not available for future spending.
The repayment of the debt on t hese assets must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. 19 379
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
Restricted net position is $52 million, which r epresents 5% of the total net position.
Restricted net position represents t hose resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. These restrictions are established by bond covenants or restrictions on the use of funds by state or federal regulations.
Unrestricted net position repres ents those resources which may be used to meet the City’s ongoing commitments to citizens and creditors. Go vernment-wide unrestricted net position is $101 million, or 9% of the total net position, whic h is a 6% increase from the previous year.
Governmental activities have a negative $(34) million unrestricted net position, which is a decrease of $4 million compared to last year. Business-type activities have $134 million in unrestricted net position, an increase of $13 million, or 11%, compared to last year.
Governmental activities. Governmental activities account for $766 million, or 69%, of the total Government-wide net position. This is an increase of $43 mill ion, or 6%, over June 30, 2024. Donated and constructed assets increased by $40 million while the amounts available for debt service, street and r oad construction and community development increased by $7 million. Addi tionally, the amount accumulated during the year for normal activities, unrestricted net position, decreased by $4 million. 20 380

Most of this incr ease is a ttributable to developer capital contributions or donated assets, federal and stat e grant revenues, and taxes. Taxes, including property, sales, franchise, and transient occupancy, account for $87 million, or 47%, of the City’s governmental activities revenue and increased $10 million, or 12%, from 2024. Property taxes increased by $2 million due to increased assessed values related to new c onstruction, increased valuation base due to annexations and the statutory annual increase in taxes not to exceed 2%. Sales taxes increased by nearly $7 million primarily due to the new voter approved Measure Y tax revenue received in the last quarter of the fiscal year, along with population growth and the price increase of goods due to inflation. Additional information on Measure Y is available in the Supplementary Information section on pages 105-108. 21 381

Total governmental expenses for the year were $135 million, an increas e of $15 million, or 12%, from 2024. Public Safety , which includes police and fire , accounts for $87 million, or 64%, of the total governmental activities’ ex penses. Public Safety expenses increased $7 million, or 9%, from 2024 primarily due to salary increases related to the police and fire departments. Community development expenses decreased from 2024 by $0.2 million or 20%. General government expenses increas ed from 2024 by $6 million or 63%.
Transportation expenses increased from 2024 or less than 1% from 2024. Cultural and Recreation expenses were $11 million, $0.8 million more when compared to 2024.

Program revenues that include charges for services, and grants specific to certain programs were $87 million, or 48% of t he total governmental activity revenue. The largest change in program revenues, notably in General Government, is in operating grants and contributions by an increase of $5 million and in capital gr ants and contributions with an increase of $8 million, mostly in developer ca pital contributions. The amounts necessary to fully fund the governmental activity programs are made up of “general” revenues such as taxes, interest, and grants and contributions.
Business-type Activities. Business-type activities account for $340 million, or 31% of the total Government-wide net position. This is an increase of $22 m illion, or 7%, from June 30, 2024. The component, “Net Investment in Capital Assets” accounts for $206 million, or 61% of the total net position, and is an incr ease of $8 milli on from 2024. The amount of restricted net position represents less than 1% of the total net position. The amount of net position t hat is unrestricted, $134 million, or 39%, increased $13 million from 2024. Charges for services were $104 million, or 81% of the total business-type activity revenue, an increase from 2024. Grants and contri butions of $16 million represent $7 million in contributions of sewer and water mains fr om developers and $9 million in state transit funding.

Included in charges for services are charges for utility services, permit fees, various development fees including fees relating to the construction of capital improvements for sewer disposal and water operations. The re venues generated by these development fees are normally accumulated until such time as t here are sufficient reserves to construct or acquire capital assets or to pay debt servic e on previously incurred debt. Debt service payments of principal are not considered a program expense and are, therefore, not reflected in this chart.
Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounti ng to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. Fund balance is defined in five ca tegories: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned. Nonspe ndable fund balances cannot be spent because of their form. Rest ricted fund balance has limitatio ns imposed externally by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regul ations of other governments. Committed fund balance has self-imposed lim itations set in place prior to the end of the period.
Assigned fund balance is the amount left available for appropriation at the City’s discretion within the fund’s purpose.
The City’s governmental funds ended the year with positive f und balances. The ending fund balance for all funds is $86 million, which is a $10 million increase from the previous year. Of the total fund balance, $8.2 million or 10% is una ssigned, which, within the limitations of the fund’s purpose, is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is not available for new spending because it is either in a form not able to be spent or has already been restricted, assigned or committed for the following: (in millions)

The General Fund is the chief oper ating fund of the City. As of June 30, 2025, the total fund balance (including all categories) of the general fund was $41. 2 million. The total fund balance of $41.2 million includes restricted balances of $10.8 mill ion, assigned balances of $22.2 million, and an unassigned bal ance of $8.2 million. The change in fund balance was primarily due to the increase in sales tax re venues attributable to the voter approved Measure Y collections in the la st quarter of the fiscal year al ong with expenditure savings in energy costs and salary and benefits.
The Local Transportation Fund, used to account for all street construction projects, incurred less than budgeted expenditures as a result of se veral large projects awarded towards the end of the fiscal year and limited staff resources. The ending fund balance of $26.4 million is $2.9 million more than June 30, 2024.
Proprietary funds. As indicated in the description of proprietary funds, there are two types of funds, Enterprise and Internal Service fu nds. The City’s enterprise funds ended the year with positive unrestricted net po sition except for the Transit Fund. This deficit balance is attributable to the liability of CalPERS pension funds and unearned revenues of $12.5 million.
The Transit Fund must defer revenues received and not yet spent to the following year. This pension liability is long-term in nature, not requiring current resources, and is not being funded at this time.
All the internal service funds finished with pos itive unrestricted net position. The current liability for workers’ compensation claims is $10.5 million. The City funds the current year workers’ compensation expendit ures with charges to City pr ograms. The City has also funded approximately $4.3 million of the accrued lia bility through charges to City programs in prior years. The balance of the liability is of a long-term nature, not requiring current resources, and therefore has not been funded.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Throughout the fiscal year it was necessary to adjust the original General Fund budget. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Chang e in Fund Balance-Budget to Actual, General Fund, on page 35 shows the original budget and final budget.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
The City continues to monitor national economic trends and the State of California’s budget closely, as both have direct implications fo r Clovis. During the budget development process for the 2025/26 fiscal year, the City was able to increase general fund expenditures by $4 million, or 4% compared to t he estimated 2024/25 expenditures. This growth reflects the addition of new staff positions, cost-of-living adjustments to salaries, rising employee benefit costs, and general inflationary pressures affecting the cost of services and supplies.
While the City’s unemployment rate is current ly considered low at 5.3%, the U.S. has experienced historically high infl ation over the last several year s. This continues to be a concern for the City in the next budget year. The increase in prices is putting further pressure on households and shifts househol d dollars away from discret ionary spending which could have a significant impact on the City’s sales taxe s as a larger portion of income goes to essentials such as food, transportation and housin g costs. High inflati on has originated from a mismatch between total demand and supply in the economy, largely as a result of constraints from the pandemic and an aggressive fiscal and monetary policy response.
The Federal Reserve began reducing interest rates in the second half of 2024 after a prolonged period of tight ening. The federal funds rate dropped from 5.5% in mid-2023 to
4.0% by October 2025, as inflat ion showed signs of sustained m oderation. While this shift in monetary policy has helped ease some financial pr essures, the City remains cautious about the potential for continued economic volatility and its impact on municipal revenues.
Clovis’ long-term strategy of building a dive rse and resilient economy remains essential in navigating this uncertainty. T he City’s ability to attract high- quality businesses, employees, and residents continues to serve as a stabilizi ng force. Additionally, Clovis is adapting to structural changes in the econom y, including the rise of non- taxable digital services and delivery-based commerce, which are reducing reli ance on traditional br ick-and-mortar retail.
These trends are being addressed through the G eneral Plan Update and initiatives like the Shaw Avenue Revitalization Strategy.
On June 30, 2025, the General Fund has an assi gned fund balance of $20.9 million, or
18.1% of 2024/25 budgeted expenditures set aside for unforeseen emergencies. The City continues to monitor the impacts of inflation and interest rates on the economy and the City’s budget and will continue to adjust its strategies to address those impacts.
The Council determined that it was necessa ry for the Community Sanitation Fund to implement a rate increase of 4% for the green waste, recycling and organics programs, the refuse collection and disposal program and t he street sweeping prog ram for the 2025/26 fiscal year. Furthermore, the Council determined that a 3% increase was necessary for the Water Fund. The Sewer Fund wil l had a 3% rate increase and the full $7.30 bond surcharge will continue to be fully rebated.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities (page 31) are different because:
Net change in fund balances-total governmental funds (page 33) 10,150,557 $ Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation/amortization expense. This is the amount by which depreciation/amortization exceeded capital outlays in the current period. 6,742,380 The net effect of donations and miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales and trade-ins) is to increase net position. 31,671,730 Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. (7,305,844)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of fleet maintenance, employee benefits, liability and property insurance and general services to individual funds.
The net revenue of certain activities of internal service funds is reported with governmental activities. Net of $2,820,537 allocated to business-type activities. 7,391,232 Change in net position of governmental activities (page 31) 48,650,055 $ The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement.

CITY OF CLOVIS
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
I. Summary of Significant Account Policies
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City of Clovis, California (City) was incorporated on February 27, 1912 as a general law city of the State of California, and as such can exercise the powers specified by the constitution and laws of the State of California.
The City is governed by an elected five-member City Council under the administration of an appointed City Manager. The accompanying financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended components units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government’s operations.
1. Blended Component Units
Although the following are legally separate from the City, they have been “blended” as though they are part of the City because the component unit’s governing body is substantially the same as the City’s and there is a financial benefit or burden relationship between the Ci ty and the component unit; management of the City has operational responsibilities for the component unit; and/or the component units provide services entirely, or almost entirely, to the City or otherwise exclusively, or almost exclusively, benefits the City, even though it does not provide services directly.
The Clovis Municipal Development Corporation (Corporation) was established by the Clovis City Council in January 1985 to handle the City’s and the Clovis Communi ty Development Agency’s development of property.
There were no assets, liabilities, equity or activity to report for the current or prior fiscal years.
The Clovis Public Financing Authority (Authority) was es tablished by the Clovis City Council in July 1991 to facilitate the issuance of the City’s debt. There were no assets, liabilities, equity or other activity to report for the current or prior fiscal years.
2. Fiduciary Activities
The City presents its fiduciary activity information for as sessing its accountability and financial reporting of the City in their role as fiduciaries. The definition of a “f iduciary” is a person or organization that acts on behalf of another person or persons to manage assets. Fiduciary resp onsibility refers to the obligation that one party has in relationship with another one to act entirely on the other party’s behalf and best interest. It is considered to be the standard of highest care.
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the stat ement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its components units. The effects of interfund activity have been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function of a segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to cust omers 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 am ong program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
CITY OF CLOVIS
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Separate fina
ncial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide fi nancial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measur
ement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The basic financial statements of the City have been p repared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted of the United Stat es of America (U.S. GAAP) as ap plied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted st andard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting.
The government-wide, proprietary fund, and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurr ed, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Property taxes are recognized as revenue in the year fo r which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the “current financial resources” measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they have been earned, and they are both measurable and available. Revenues are consider ed to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilit ies of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, under accrual accounting. However, debt service principal and interest expenditures on general long -term debt, including lease liabilities, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims and judgments, postemployment benefits and environmental obligations are recognized later based on sp ecific accounting rules applicable to each, generally when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions , including entering into contracts giving the City the right to use lease assets, are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long -term debt and financing through leases are reported as other financing sources.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period.
All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – This is used as the main operating governmental fund of the City to account for general revenues of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds and the related expenditures.
The General Fund accounts for all financial resources of a governmental unit which are not accounted for in another fund. The General Fund accounts for activity related to Measure Y, which is tracked separately within the General Fund for transparency and reporting purposes, but not presented separately.
Local Transportation Fund – This fund accounts for the City's share of Transportation Development Act (SB 325) funds allocated by the State that are restri cted to expenditures for capital street improvements and maintenance and for the deposits by developers for special street improvement projects.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Community Sanitation Fund – This fund accounts for all financial transactions relating to the City’s refuse collection and disposal operations, landfill operations and street sweeping operations.
Sewer Disposal Fund – This fund accounts for all financial transactions relating to the City’s sanitary sewer system operations.
45 405
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
CITY OF CLOVIS
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Water Fund – This fund accounts for all financial transactions relating to the City’s water production and distribution operations.
Planning and Development Services Fund – This fund accounts for all financial transactions related to the City’s engineering operations.
Transit Fund – This fund accounts for all financial transactions related to the City’s transit operations.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds - These funds account for general liabilit y and property damage insurance, fleet management services, retirement, workers’ compensation, and health, unemployment and Medicare insurance, facility maintenance and enhancement, telecommunication and information technology, and other general services provided to other departments or agencies of the City on cost reimbursement bases.
Custodial Funds – These funds account for assets held by the City for, certain special assessments collected and distributed on behalf of the districts.
Private-Purpose Trust Funds – These funds are used to account for the assets of the former Clovis Community Development Agency during the wind down period.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. The exception to this general rule is payments-in-lieu of taxes. Eliminat ion of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributi ons, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with the proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the community sanitation enterprise fund, of the se wer enterprise fund, of the water enterprise fund and of the City's internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The sewer enterprise fund and the water enterprise fund also recognize as operating revenue the portion of developer fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. Operati ng expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciat ion on capital assets: All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are avail able for use, it is the government's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows, and Net Position/Fund Balance
1. Cash and Investments
The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds. This pool utilizes investments authorized by the Governm ent Code and is further defined by the City's investment policy that is reviewed annually by the City Council.
Highly liquid market investments with maturities of 1 year or less at the time of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. Market value is used as fair value for the securities for which market quotations are readily available.
46 406
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
CITY OF CLOVIS
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Authori
zed investments include deposits in the State of California administered Local Agency Investment Fund, insured certificates of deposits, coll ateralized certificates of deposits, commercial paper, bankers acceptances, medium term notes, money market mutual funds and securities backed by the U.S. Government. All investments are stated at fair value.
Interest income earned as a result of pooling is distributed to the appropriate funds based on month end cash balances in each fund. Interest income from ca sh and investments with fiscal agents and deferred compensation is credited directly to the related fund.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers short-term and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, (including restricted assets) to be cash and cash equivalents.
The City invests its excess cash principally in U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Treasuries and the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). Invest ments in the LAIF are available for withdrawal on demand.
The City is also required to deposit funds with fiscal agents under the provisions of revenue bonds, contracts and/or lease agreements. These funds ar e invested by the fiscal agent in instruments generally more restrictive than the City's investment policy.
U.S. GAAP defines fair values, est ablishes a framework for measuring fa ir value and estab lishes disclosures about fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specified, recorded fair value in the Statement of Net Position/Balance Sheet, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Levels of inputs are as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for i dentical assets and liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted pr ices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
2. Receivables
Billed but un
paid services provided to individuals or non- governmental entities are re corded as "receivables." Services provided to other governmental entities are recorded as "due from other governments." The City's utility enterprise funds include an estimated amount for services rendered but not yet billed as of June 30, 2025, determined by prorating the July 2025 bi-monthly billing.
The City has not experienced any material write-off of receivables; and therefore, an "allowance for bad debts" is not included on the City's balance sheet or statement of net position.
3. Interfun
d Receivables/Payables
Duri
ng the course of operations, interfund receivables and payables transactions arise. These receivables and payables are classified as "due from other funds" or "due to other funds" on the fund financial statements. On the government-wide statement of net position, the "internal balances" represents the amounts receivable/payable between business-type activities and governmental activities. All other interfund transactions have been eliminated on the statement of net position.

4. Inventorie
s
Inventories, consisting of fuel and vehicle parts, are valued at cost.
5. Capital As
sets/Intangible Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, ri ght to use and infrastructure assets (roadways), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000, and an estimated useful life of at least three years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated a ssets are recorded at estimated acquisition value at the date donated. Intangible assets are valued at historical cost.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Intangible assets include the purchase of sewer capacity ri ghts and water entitlement rights. The City purchased sewer capacity rights from the City of Fresno at the Fresno Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The total amount of $44,824,154 is reported in the City’s Sewer Disposal Enterprise Fund. The City purchased water entitlement rights from the Fresno I rrigation District for surface water. The total amount of $16,118,786 reported in the City’s Water Enterprise Fund.
Donated assets include developer donated land as well as improvements on the land including streets, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, street lighting and landscaping. Included in the total amount of capital grants and contributions on the government-wide statement of activities is $39,431,884 of developer donated assets.
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government is depreciated over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, half-year convention. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Distribution Systems 50 years
R
oadways 50
Buildings 20-40
Vehicles 5-20
Right to use 5-35
Other Equipment 3-10
Amortizatio
n of intangibles is computed over 40 years using the straight-line method, half-year convention. As the life of the rights have a life of 40 years.
6. Compens
ated Absences
Employees earn vacation, sick leave, and other compensa ted absences in accordance with City policies. A liability for compensated absences is recognized when the leave is attributable to services already rendered, the leave accumulates and is more likely than not to be used for time off or paid out. The liability is measured using the pay rates expected to be paid when the leave is taken or otherwise settled.
The governmental activities liability is reported in the st atement of net position, while amounts are recognized in governmental funds only when due and pay able. Proprietary funds record the expense and liability as benefits accrue. The City’s policies generally permit employees to accumulate unused vacation and a portion of unused sick leave up to specified limits. Upon separation from service, employees are compensated for accumulated vacation and eligible sick leave in accordance with those policies.
7. Long-Term Liabilities
In the gove
rnment-wide financial statements, and prop rietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term liabilities and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary f und type statement of net pos ition. Bond premiums and 48 408

CITY OF CLOVIS

discou
nts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed when incurred.
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 repo rted as other financing sources while discounts not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received are reported as debt service expenditures. Discounts withheld from the debt proceeds are reported as other financing uses.
8. Unear
ned Revenue
For the Government-wide Financial Statements, u nearned revenue is recognized in connection with a transaction before the earnings process is completed.
For the governmental fund financial st atements, unearned revenues arise when potential revenues do not meet both the "measurable" and "available" criteria for recognition in the current period. Unearned revenues also arise when the government receives resources before it has a legal claim to them, as when grant monies are received prior to incurring qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods, when both revenue recognition criteria are met or when the government has a legal claim to the resources, unearned revenues are removed from the balance sheet and revenue is recognized.
9. Pensions
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 plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Plan investments are reported at fair value.
The following timeframes are used for pension plan reporting:
C
a l P E R S
Val
uation Date June 30, 2023
Meas
urement Date June 30, 2024
Meas
urement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.
10. Fund Bal
ances
Fund balances, presented in the governmental fund financial statements, represent a resource for future periods that is the difference between assets and liabilities reported in a government fund. Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any limitat ions requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The City evaluated each of its funds at June 30, 2025 and classified fund balances into the following five categories:
Non-spendable - amounts that cannot be spent becaus e they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items, inventories and long-term receivables for which the payment of proceed s are not restricted or committed with respect to the nature of the specific expenditure of that fund. 49 409
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
CITY OF CLOVIS
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Re
stricted – amounts that are restricted by external parties such as creditors or imposed by grants, laws or regulations of other governments or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed – amounts that have been committed by formal ac tion by the entity’s “highest level of decision- making authority.” Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally.
Assigned – amounts that have been allocated by the City action where the government’s intent is to use the funds for a specific purpose. Assi gned fund balance is established by City Council through adoption or amendment of the budget as intended for specific purpose.
Unassigned – amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned.
The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds, it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other t han the general fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.
The City will spend the funds restricted for their purpose within those funds first followed by assigned funds for their intended purposes prior to spending any unassigned fund s. The City Council has established a target of a minimum unassigned fund balance for any operational fund is 10% of the budgeted expenditures with the goal for unassigned fund balance of up to 15% of budgeted ex penditures unless capital borrowing or extraordinary fiscal conditions require higher levels of unassigned fund balance be maintained.
The local transportation fund is the City’s only major capital project fund. This fund accounts for the capital street projects paid for out of the City's share of Transpor tation Development Act (SB 325) funds allocated by the state, 1/2 cent sales tax for transp ortation, Special Gas Tax Select Street funds, and federal funding sources under the Federal Intermodel Surface Transportation E fficiency Act. In addition, funds are transferred from the Developer Trust Fund as reimbursements are made for developer-financed projects.
11. Net Position
In the gove
rnment-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements, net position is classified as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization, reduced by the outstanding balances of debt, net of deferred refunding, that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
Restricted – This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets.
Unrestricted – This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of re sources that are not incl uded in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position.
When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, the City’s policy is to apply the restricted component of net position first, then the unrestricted component of net position as needed.

12. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in c onformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and di sclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
13. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recogniz ed as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this categor y. It is the deferred charge on refunding reported in the government-wide statement of net position, and deferred amo unts related to pens ion. The deferred charge on refunding resulted from the difference between the carryin g value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price.
This amount is deferred and amortized ov er the shorte r of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. The deferred amounts related to pension relate differences between estimated and actual inv estment earnings, changes in actuarial assumptions, and other pension related changes.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial positi on includes a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of res ources (revenue) until that time. The City has three items that qualify for reporting in this category: deferred inflows related to leases, pension, and deferred gain on bond refunding. Deferred lease inflows arise from lease arrang ements where the City is the les sor and reflect the recognition of lease revenue over the term of the le ase. Deferred pension inflows inc lude differences between expected and actual experience, changes in assumptions , and projected versus actual investment earnings, which are recognized systematically over time. The def erred gain on bond refunding results from the difference between the carrying amount of the old debt and its reacqui sition price, and is amortized over the remaining life of the refunded or refunding debt, whichever is shorter.
14. Leases
Lessee: The City has a policy to recognize a le ase liability and a right -to-use lease as set (lease as set) in the government-wide financial s tatements. The City recognizes leas e liabilities with an initial, individual value of $10,000 or more.
At the commencement of a lease, the Ci ty initially measures the lease liab ility at the present v alue of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially me asured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs.
Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include ho w the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments. The City uses the interest rate charged by the le ssor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The lease term includes the non-cancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure any lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
Lease assets are reported as right to use along with other capital assets and lease li abilities are reported with long-term debt on the statement of net position.

Lesso
r: The City is a lessor for a leases of a building and land at four locations. The City recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflows of resources in both the government-wide and fund financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease re ceivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflows of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflows of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts. The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The lease term includes the non-cancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts includ ed in the measurement
of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.
15. Subscrip
tion Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA)
The Cit
y has a policy to recognize a subscription liability and a right -to-use subscription asset (subscription asset) in the government -wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements. The City recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of $10,000 or more with a subscription term greater than one year. Variable payments based on future performance of the City, usage of the underlying IT asset, or number of user seats are not included in the measurement of the subscription liability, rather, those variable payments are recognized as ou tflows of resources (expenses) in the period the obligation for those payments is incurred.
At the commencement of a SBITA, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscription term . Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of subscription payments made. Subscription assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the subscription liabilities, less any payments made to t he SBITA vendor before the commencement of the subscription term, and capitalizab le initial implementation cost, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term.
Costs associated with a SBITA, other than the subscription payments, are accounted for as follows:
Preliminary Project Stage: Outlays are expensed as incurred. Initial Implementation Stage: Outlays are capitalized as an addition to the subscription asset. Operation and Additional Implementation Stage: Outlays are expensed as incurred unless they meet specific capitalization
criteria.
Upo
n adoption, the City elected to exclude the capitalizab le outlays associated with the initial implementation stage and the operation and additional implementation stage t hat were incurred prior to the implementation of this Statement in the measurement of subscription assets as of July 1, 2022.
Subscription assets are reported in capital assets and sub scrip tion liabilities are reported with long-term liabilities on the statement of net position.
Subscription assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the shor ter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT asset, unless the subscription contains a purchase option that the City has determined is reasonably certain of being exercised. In this case, the subs cription asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying IT asset.

Key e
stimates and judgments related to SBITA include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to pres ent value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments.
The City uses the interest rate charged by the SBI TA vendor as the discount rate. When the intere st rate ch
arged by the SBITA vendor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated increme ntal borro
wing rate as the discount rate for SBITA.
The subscription term includes the non-cancel lable period of the SBITA. Subscription paym ents inclu
ded in the measurement of the subscription lia bility are composed of fixed payments and purch ase option pri
ce that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City mon
itors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its subscription liability and will remeasure if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability.

II. Reconciliation of Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements A. Explanati on of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Gover
nment-Wide Statement of Net Position
The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance-total governmental funds and net position-governmental activities as reported in the government-wid e statement of net position. One element of that reconciliati on explains that “long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reporte d in the funds.” The details of this ($115,770,640) difference are as follows:
Pension related items of $101,773,220
(net of $9,943,139 reported in Internal Service Funds) 101,773,220$ Accrued compensated absences of $10,774,373

(net of $517,395 reported in Internal Service Funds) 2,885,849 Accrued Leases of $337,198
(net of $658,334 reported in Internal Service Funds) 337,198 Net adjustment to reduce fund balance-total governmental funds to arrive at net position-governmental activities 115,770,640$ B. Explanati
on of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Statement of Reve nues, Expenditu
res, and Changes in Fund Balances and the Government-Wide Statement of Activities The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances-total governmental funds and changes in net position of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains “Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.”
The details of this $6,742,380 difference are as follows:
Capital Outlay 22,042,897$
Depreciation/amortization expense (net of $8,198,372 reported in Internal Service Funds) (15,300,517) Net adjustment to decrease net changes in fund balance-total governmental funds to arrive at changes in net position-governmental activities 6,742,380$ Another el
ement of that reconciliation states that “The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales, trade-ins, and donations) is to increase net position.” Donated capital assets increase net position in the statement of activities, but do not appear in the governmental funds because they are not financial resources.

The table also identifies certain pr ovisions of these debt agreements that address interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk. I nterest 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 in terest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow a nd liquidity needed for operations. The City monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its por tfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The City investment policy states that no investment can have a maturity in excess of three years unless approved by the City Manager.

Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations. The City’s investments do not include any investments that are highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuatio ns (to a greater degree than already indicated in the information provided above).
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk. Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the in vestment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type.

Con
centration of Credit Risk. The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Govern ment Code. Investments in any one issuer (other than U.S. Treas ury securities and external investment pools) that represent 5% or more of total City of Clovis’ investments are as follows:

Federal Farm Credit Banks Federal Agency Securities 31,700,000$ 8.47% Federal Home Loan Banks Federal Agency Securities 78,595,000 21.03% 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 recove r its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. T he custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the brok er or dealer to a transa ction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investments 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 requi rements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or inve stments, other than the following provisions for deposits:
The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local government 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 City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
As of June 30, 2025, no City’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits were held in uncollateralized accounts. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, no investments were held by the same broker dealer (counterparty) that was used by the City to purchase the securities. 58 418

D
isclosures Relating to 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. As of year-end, the average life-month end maturity of the investments contained in the LAIF investment pool is approximately 260.
Investment in State Investment Pool. The City’s investments with Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) at June 30, 2025 included a portion of the pooled f unds invested in Structured Notes and Assets-Backed Securities. These investments included the following:
Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more indices and/or that have embedded forwards or options.
Asset-Backed Securities, the bulk of which are mortgage-backed securities, entitle their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as CMO’s) or credit card receivables.
California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) – The City is a participant in LAIF, which is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. As of June 30, 2025, the City had $59,940,157 invested in LAIF, which had invested 2.02% of the pool investment funds in Structured Notes and Medium-term Asset-Backed Securities and 1.79% of pool investment funds in Short-term Asset-Backed Commercial Paper. LAIF determines fair va lue on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities where market quotations are readily available and based on amortized cost or best estimate for those securities where market value is not readily available. LAIF is reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
The fair value of the City’s position in the LAIF pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.
The Pooled Money Investment Board provides oversight to the State Treasurer’s pooled investment program. The purpose of the board is to design and administer an effective cash management and investment program, using all monies flowing through the State Treasurer’s Office bank accounts and keeping all available funds invested in a manner consistent with the goals of safety, liquidity, and yield. The Pooled Money Investment Board is comprised of the State Treasurer as chair, the State Controller, and the Director of Finance. The investment program is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company.
The State Treasurer’s Office reports its investments at fair value. The fair value of securities in the State Treasurer’s pooled investment program generally is based on quoted market prices. The value of the deposits in the State Treasurer’s pooled investment program, including the Local Agency Investment Fund, is equal to the dollars deposited in the program.
Certain funds have elected to participate in the pooled investment program even though they have the authority to make their own investments. Others may be required by legislation to participate in the program; as a result, the deposits of these funds or accounts may be considered involuntary. However, these funds or accounts are part of the State’s reporting entity. The remaining participation in the pool, the Local Agency Investment Fund, is voluntary.
B. Property Taxes
Secu
red property taxes become a lien on the property as of January 1 and are levied in two equal installments:
the first due November 1 and delinquent on December 11, and the second due February 1 and delinquent April 11. Property taxes on unsecured property ar e due on the lien date of March 1 and become delinquent on September 1. The County of Fresno is responsible fo r the assessment, collection and apportionment for all jurisdictions within the County, including the City.

G. Landfill Closure
The Cit
y has recorded liabilities for landfill closure, post-c losure maintenance and for landfill corrective action in the Community Sanitation Fund, an enterprise fund. T he State of California performs an annual analysis to determine estimated total cost of the landfill closure, post-closur e care costs, total capacity and remaining life.
The City’s landfill closure liability, based on landfill capacity used to date, is recorded based on the information provided by their analysis. The land fill corrective action liability is based on the estimated co st of known or reasonably foreseeable corrective action that may be required at the facility.
The City is currently estimating at J une 30, 2025 that the capacity of the l andfill used is approximately 40%, the estimated remaining life is approximately 32 years and the estimated remaining cost to be recognized is $24,052,961. The estimated remaining capacity is 5, 966,431 cubic yards and the estimated landfill closure liability is $6,085,840. The current esti mated cost of known and/or reasonabl y foreseeable corrective action is $5,108,060 and the City currently has $1,000,000 set asid e for this purpose. These estimates are based on a closure and post-closure maintenance plan and correct ive action plan. The estimates have been adjusted for inflation and other factors such as technology and laws and regulations.

T
he City contributes to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), an agent multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pension plan. CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute and City ordinance. A full descripti on of the pension plan regarding number of employees covered, benefit provisions, assumptions (for fu nding, but not accounting purposes), and membership information are listed in the June 30, 2024 Annual Actuarial Valuation Report. This report and CalPERS’ audited financial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications.
Benefit Provided
CalPE
RS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. A classic miscellaneous member becomes eligible for Service Retirement upon attainment of age 55 with at least 5 years of credited service. PEPRA miscellaneous members become eligible for service retirement upon attainment of age 62 with at least 5 years of service . A classic safety member becomes eligible for Service Retirement upon attainment of age 50 with at least 5 years of credited service.
PEPRA safety members become eligible for service retire ment upon attainment of age 57 with at least 5 years of service. The service retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to the product of the benefit factor, years of service, and final compensation. The final compensation is the monthly average of the member's highest 36 or 12 consecutive months' full-time equivalent monthly pay. Retirement benefits for classic miscellaneous employees are calculated as 2.7% of the average fi nal 12 months compensation. Retirement benefits for PEPRA miscellaneous employees are calc ulated as 2% of the highest av erage annual compensation over a three-year period. Retirement benefits for classic safety employees are calculated as 3% of the average highest 12 months compensation. Retirement benefits for PEPRA safety employees are calculated as 2.7% of the average highest 36 months compensation.
Participants are eligible for non-industrial disability reti rement if they become disabled and have at least 5 years of credited service. There is no special age requirement. The standard non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent of final co mpensation, multiplied by serv ice.

An emplo
yee's beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee dies while actively employed.
The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other pre-retirement death benefit ma y choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7. 375 percent per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six months' salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death.
Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each employee’s retirement allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted by 2 percent applied to the original retirement allowance.

I. Tax Abatements
The City has not entered into any tax abatement agreem ents as of June 30, 2025. However, the County of Fresno (County) has provided certain tax abatements that affect the property tax revenues of the City.
The County provides property tax abatements through the California Land Conservation (Williamson) Act of 1965. The program enrolls land in Williamson Act or Farmland Security Zone contracts within established agricultural preserves, whereby the land is restricted to agricultural or qualified recreational uses in exchange for reduced property tax assessments. The Williamson Act Program is administered according to the statute and the County’s Interim Program Guidelines adopted by the County’s Board of Supervisors. The County’s Assessor administers the property tax reduction that parcels enrolled in the program receive. Parcels enrolled in the Williamson Act Program are assessed for property tax purposes at a rate consistent with their actual use, rather than the market value of the property. The minimum contract term for the Williamson Act is ten years and for the Farmland Security Zone is twenty years. Both the Williamson Act and the Farmland Security Zone contracts automatically renew until a notice of non-renewal or a certificate of cancellation is recorded. Under the non- renewal process, the annual tax assessment gradually increases over a defined period until the assessment reflects the market value of the property. Under t he cancellation process, a one-time cancellation fee is assessed based upon a certain percentage of the unrestricted, current fair market value of the property.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Coun ty’s Williamson Act Program tax abatements were $72,498,713. The City’s affected portion of property tax revenues (approx. 1.9%) is, therefore, $1,377,476.
V. Other Information
A. Self Insurance
The City is self-insured for general li ability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, group dental and group vision programs. The City is responsible for all claims up to $5,000 per occurrence for automobile liability, $5,000 per occurrence for property, $250,000 per occurr ence for workers' compensation, and $100,000 per occurrence on general liability. The dental and vision prog rams have no individual per occurrence stop-loss and no aggregate annual stop-loss. Excess insurance for all am ounts in excess of the self-i nsured retention in the workers' compensation program is purchased from Local Agency Workers’ Compensation Excess JPA (LAWCX). Consistent with the LAWC X Memorandum of Coverage, LAWCX provides coverage for the City above its self-insured retention of $250,000 up to $5,000,000. LAWCX purchases excess insurance which covers the pool for losses from $5,000,000 to statutory limits.

The City is a
member of the Central San Joaquin Va lley Risk Management Authority (RMA) for the purpose of pooling general liability coverage under a retrospectively rated Memorandum of Coverage. Deposit premiums to the RMA are based on actuarially determined claims co sts, including incurred but not reported claims, and expenses. Premiums are accrued based on the ultimate cost determined by the experience to date of the pool’s member cities. The risk pool covers the City above it s self-insured retention of $100,000 up to $1,000,000. The Authority purchases excess insurance which covers the pool for losses fr om $1,000,001 to $34,500,000. Pool Members may receive rebates when declared by RMA or, in the event excess liability claims against RMA exceed available resources, may be required to make additional contributions through a retrospective adjustment process.
The City accounts for the self-insurance programs in the Self-Insurance Fund and Employee Benefits Fund, both internal service funds. Charges to user departments are reported as interfund transactions.
Incurred but not reported claims have been accrued as a liability for the workers' compensation and dental programs as required in the amount of $4,520,590 based on previous claims experience and actuarial studies.
There were no reductions in insurance coverage from the prior year and there were no settlements that exceeded insurance coverage for the past three fiscal years. Following is a reconciliation of the changes in the City’s aggregate liabilities for claims for the current and prior fiscal year:
Workers'
Compensation Dental Total
Balance, 06/30/23 8,375,000$ 48,000$ 8,423,000$ Claims provision 4,652,367 431,698 5,084,065

Balance, 06/30/25 10,513,000$ 48,000$ 10,561,000$ B. Deferred Compensation
The City has established a deferred compensation plan in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457.
The plan, available to all full time employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years.
Participation in the plan is optional. The deferred compen sation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. All am ounts deferred under the plan and all income attributable to those amounts are solely the property and rights of the plan participants.
Semi-monthly the City forwards all contributions to t he plan administrator, the ICMA Retirement Corporation.
Plan participants may choose from inv estment options which are managed by the plan trustee. The City has no liability for losses under the plan. As of January 1, 1998 ICMA Retirement Corporation amended the agreement with the City to comply with IRC Section 457 regulations . The assets and related liabilities are not reported on the City’s financial statements in accordance with Gov ernmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 32 - “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans.”

C. Postretirement Benefits
The City allows its retirees who retire under provisions of a regular service retirement and who have five years of service the opportunity to continue enrollment in the City's health insurance program until age 65. The retirees have the same choice of insurance plans as those of current employees. The retirees are pooled together separately from the active employee pool and pay the full cost of the insurance prem iums without cost to the City.
D. Contingent Liabilities
The City participates in several feder ally assisted grant programs, includi ng those from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S.
Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Receipts from these grant programs are subjec t to audit to determine if the monies were expended in accordance with the appropriate statutes, grant terms and regulations. The City believes no significant liabilities will result.
E. Claims and Litigation
The City is directly and indirectly involved in various su its relating principally to claims arising from construction contracts, personal injury, and property damage. In t he opinion of the City Attorney and City’s management, potential claims against the City resulting from such litigation, not covered by insurance, would not materially affect the basic financial st atements of the City. As a result, no liabilit y has been accrued by the City relating to these matters as of June 30, 2025.
F. Restatement of Beginning Balances
Effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 101, Compensated Abse nces. This Statement establishes recognition and measurement guidance for all types of compensated absences, including vacation, sick leave, and other paid time off. As a result of implementing GASB 101, t he City changed its accounti ng principle for compensated absences. Previously, liabilities for compensated absences were recognized only when earned and expected to be paid. Under GASB 101, liabilities are now recognized when the leave is earned and attributable to services already rendered, regardless of when payment is expect ed. This change resulted in a restatement of beginning net position and fund balances as follows:
Governmental Activities
Net position at July 1, 2024, as previously stated 722,533,358 $ Compensated absences prior period adjustment (5,269,230) Net position at July 1, 2024, restated 717,264,128 $
