FISCAL IMPACT
This is for reporting purposes. No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND
The Town’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and reporting requirements of the Governmental Accounting Standard Board (GASB).
For Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022, the Town engaged O’Connor & Company (previously R.J.
Ricciardi, CPA) to conduct an independent audit and review of the Town’s financial statement for the fiscal year ending June 30, 202 2. The audit includes the agreed -upon procedures, review, and audit of various reports. The Auditor’s opinion on the following reports are attached as B through F.
• The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for FY 2021-22, • Management Report for FY 2021-22,
• Measure A Fund Component Unit Financial Statements for FY 2021-22, • Measure W Fund Component Unit Financial Statements for FY 2021-22, and • Appropriations Limit Calculation for FY 2022-23.
A representative from the firm will be at the Council meeting to answer any questions the Council may have.

Overall, the Town re ceived a “clean” audit for FY 202 1-22 with no adverse findings or recommendations. As part of the audit, O’Connor & Company also assessed the Town’s internal control and noted in Attachment C, FY 2021-22 Management Reports that they did not find any observations.
Report Organization
1. Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (Attachment B).
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR or Annual Report) for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 202 2 has more content than the previous years’ basic financial statements. The Annual Report is organized into three major sections:
a. I
NTRODUCTORY SECTION has the Table of Contents, Town Officials, and Town Organizational Chart. The Transmittal Letter was adde d in accordance with ACFR guidelines.
Staff Report Auditor’s Report Fiscal Year 2021-22 Page 3 of 5
b. FINANCIAL SECTION contains the Independent Auditors’ Report, Management’s Discussion & Analysis (MD&A), Basic Financial Statements, Notes to Basic Financial Statements, Required Supplemental Information, and Supplementary Information.
Independent Auditors’ Report summarizes the auditors’ responsibility regarding the financial statements, their audit opinion, and other matters and information in the Financial Report.
Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) for FY 2021-22 (Pg. 3-17), provides highlights on the Town’s financial condition, overall economic conditions, and a FY 2021-22 Budget overview.
The Financial Section presents the Town’s activities in two formats - Governmental- wide financial statements (Pg. 18-20) and Fund Financial Statements (Pg. 21-28).
• Governmental-wide Financial Statements presents both governmental and business -type activities on full -accrued basis. The reconciliations for governmental funds to change from modified accrued basis to full accrued can be found on page 24 and 26 of the report.
• Fund Financial Statements presents major government funds on modified accrued basis and proprietary funds on full-accrued basis.
Reporting the activities in different accounting basis are required by GASB pronouncements. The definition of full -accrued vs modified accrued basis o f accounting can be found under Note 1C on Page 30.
Required Supplemental Information (Pg. 53-60) includes a Budget to Actual comparison schedule for the General Fund and historical information on pension and OPEB liabilities.
Supplemental Information (Pg. 61-65) presents the combined Balance Sheet and Schedules of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance for all non-major governmental funds. Budget to Actual for non-major funds were added in accordance with ACFR guidelines.
c. S
TATISTICAL SECTION included in pages 66-85 which include multi-year comparisons for key financial data. Several financial trends were added in accordance with ACFR guidelines.
2. Management Report (Attachment C)
As part of the Audit process the Auditors also review procedures and make recommendations on improvements as part of a Management Report (See Attachment C). The Auditors did not make any reportable findings with the current year work.
3. Measure A Transportation Funds (Attachment D)
The Town received $77,753 in Measure A Transportation Funds from San Mateo County in FY 2021-22, bringing total reserve balance to $157,496. The Measure A Program requires the Staff Report Auditor’s Report Fiscal Year 2021-22 Page 4 of 5
Town to complete a separate audit of these funds (See Attachment D). In addition to financial testing of transactions the Auditors do additional review to provide a reasonable assurance that the Town of Colma has complied with certain provisions of Measure A.
The Town designated $ 72,600 of Measure A funds for the F -Street roadway improvement project, which was completed in the Summer of 2022. Measure A funds are only transferred to the corresponding project after the project is completed. Since the project was completed in FY 2022-23, the $72,600 of designated Measure A fund will be transferred in FY 2022-23.
4. Measure W Transportation Funds (Attachment E)
The Town receive d $28,461 Measure W Transportation Funds from San Mateo County in FY 2021-22. The Measure W Program requires the Town to complete a separate audit of these funds (See Attachment E). In addition to financial testing of transactions the Auditors do additional review to provide a reasonable assurance that the Town of Colma has complied with certain provisions of Measure W.
The Town designated $31,950 of Measure W funds for the F -Street roadway improvement project. The project was completed in the Summer of 2022 and the corresponding of project funding transfer will occur in FY 2022- 23. Transferring funds after project compl etion is to avoid comingling the Town’s General Fund from grant fundings.
5. Appropriations Limit (Attachment F)
Annually the Town is required to calculate an Appropriations Limit which is presented in the Budget and adopted by the Council. State Law does not require an “Audit” of the proceeds of taxes but does require a review completing specific procedures. This review was completed by the Auditors with no exceptions being noted (See Attachment F).
Reasons for the Recommended Action/Findings
Acceptance of the FY 2021-22 audited/reviewed financial statements and reports will authorize Staff to publish and distribute them to various interested parties and ensure compliance with the Town’s debt issuance requirements.
Council Adopted Values
Approval of the attached resolution is consistent with the Council’s core value of responsibility because the annual audit process provides an objective, expert assessment of the Town’s financial condition and financial reporting process.
Alternatives
None. In addition to supporting good governance, the completion of Audited Financial Statements is a requirement of the Certificate of Participation (COP) debt issuance and rules imposed by the SEC.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends the City Council receive the presentation from the Town’s auditor, then adopt a resolution accepting the Auditor’s reports for Fiscal Year 2021-22.

TOWN OF COLMA, CALIFORNIA
TRANSMITTAL LETTER
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR JUNE 30, 2022
February 14, 2023
To the Residents of the Town of Colma,
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
We are pleased to submit to you the Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFR, “Annual Report”) for the Town of Colma, California (the Town), for the year ending June 30, 2022. The Annual Report was prepared in accordance with principles and standards set by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The report presents the Town’s financial information on an entity-wide basis and at the fund level, with emphasis on the Town’s major funds.
As part of the required presentation, the report includes a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A).
It presents a comparative analysis of current and prior year results, changes in financial position, financial highlights, trends and disclosure of any known significant events or decisions that affect the financial condition of the Town. This transmittal letter is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The Town’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors in the financial section of this report.
The responsibility for the accuracy of the information and the completeness and fairness of the presentation rests on the Town’s management. This includes note disclosures, required supplemental information and statistical summary. We believe that the information reported is accurate in all material respects and its presentation fairly shows the financial position and the results of the Town’s operations.
In providing a reasonable basis for making these representations, management has established a thorough internal control system designed to protect the government ’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile the necessary information for preparing the Town’s financial statements.
In compliance with State statutes, these financial statements have been audited by the certified public accounting firm of O’Connor & Company, formerly known as R.J. Ricciardi, Inc. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Town of Colma for the year ending June 30, 2022, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the Town of Colma’s financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2022, are fairly presented in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.

PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The Town of Colma, known as the “City of Souls,” is the smallest city in San Mateo County with 1,659 residents and 1.5 million “souls.” However, Colma is more than just 16 cemeteries. Colma’s commercial buildings make a distinct architectural statement resulting from design standards that encourage Spanish- Mediterranean motifs. Colma boasts an old-world charm all its own, from its brick-paved residential streets and ornamental street lamps to its restored historical museum and railroad depot located at its 5,500 square foot Community Center. The state-of-the-art Police Station complements the architecture of the historic and charming Town Hall across the street. Within its two square mile boundary, the Town enjoys a strong tax base with two shopping centers, one of Northern California’s most complete collections of car dealerships, and a cardroom. There are two BART stations nearby.
The Town operates under a Council-Manager form of government. Policy-making and legislative authority are vested in the governing City Council, which cons ists of five Councilmembers. City Council members are elected in overlapping four-year terms and, from amongst themselves, select a Mayor and Vice Mayor every December. The Council is responsible for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, and hiring the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Town, and for appointing the Town staff.
The Town provides a full range of essential services through a combination of in-house staff and contract services. Services provided by the Town’s 47.35 full-time equivalent employees include public safety services, maintenance of public infrastructure, recreation, parks, and general management. The Town entered into public-private partnership in areas of planning, building, engineering, code enforcement, trash collection, and staff augmentation.
The cost to provide these essential services are reviewed annually as part of the Town’s operating and capital budget. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the Town’s financial planning, monitoring and control. All departments of the Town are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City Manager each spring. The City Manager uses these requests to develop a proposed budget. Prior to June 30 of each year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating and capital improvement budget for review. The Council holds public hearings and a final budget is adopted on or before June 30.
Budgetary reviews and controls are applied as described in the Notes to Required Supplementary Information on page 54.

COLMA FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
As shown in the Basic Financial Statements, starting on page 18, the Town is financially healthy. As of June 30, 2022, the Town has an outstanding debt of $4.43 million, a net pension liability of $5.13 million, and net OPEB liability of $11.06 million, and the total unrestricted fund balance is $13.53 million.
LOCAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE TOWN
The economic factors most prevalent in FY 2021-22 were the reopening of the State of California and the preparing for the impact of supply chain issues.
The reopening of the State allowed many businesses to reopen to full capacity, which increased the Town’s sales tax and cardroom tax revenues. Permit activities rose as businesses prepare to reopen or moved to one of the Town’s vacant commercial units. Concurrently, the Town reinstated many of its operations, including unfreezing vacant positions, hiring part-time and per diem staff, reinstating community events and recreation programs, and reviewing more permits and grant applications.
Another impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was on its supply chains. As factories closed and workers got sick, the supply chain began to be impacted. Local auto dealers had shared with the Town that car manufacturing was slowing down because of the zero-COVID tolerant policy in China. The same story was said for electronics. As a result of supply shortages, the Town benefited in FY 2021-22 from inflation on sales tax and was negatively impacted in the operational side. However, the Town anticipates sales tax revenues to flatten in FY 2022-23 and may experience a slight reduction in FY 2023-24.
Because of all the economic uncertainties from rising inflation, shortage of supplies, and increase in storefront occupancy, the financial market responded with dramatic rise and falls and the Federal Reserves raising interest rates. These impacted the Town’s investment income, as well as the CalPERS investment return for FY 2021-22. As discussed in the Management Discussion and Analysis section, the Town experienced a $1.0 million investment loss in its 115 Trusts and CalPERS was expecting an investment loss of 6% for the fiscal year. Both impact the Town’s ability to pay unfunded liabilities.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING AND RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES The City Council reviews the Town’s financial policies, annually. Part of the financial policies include instruction on increasing Town reserves to combat future liabilities, including unfunded pension and OPEB liabilities. Additionally, the City Council discusses and approves a 2-year Strategic Plan that documents the Town’s priorities in the coming year. Each year, the departments develops operating and capital goals based on the Strategic Plan. The Plan accounts for five key areas, Resiliency, Operations, Economic Development, Community, and Capital. Long-range financial planning falls within Resiliency, where the Staff continues to work with different granting agencies to invest in our commercial and residential areas.
Investment in the commercial area can help Economic Development and thereby increase revenues within Town.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Town is a member of the Pooled Liability Assur ance Network Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA), a joint powers insurance authority that consists of 28 member cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. The PLAN JPA was established to provide liability insurance, claims, risk management, and legal defense services to participating members. The program provides the Town with liability coverage up to a maximum of $10 million, with the Town maintaining a self -insured retention of $50,000. The Town also maintains workers’ compensation coverage to a maximum of $5.0 million. The Town pays the self-insured retention as part of the General Fund operating budget and maintains a general fund litigation reserves of
vi
$100,000. The Town has implemented and is in complian ce with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Risk Financing and Related Insurance Issues

1 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Town Cou
ncil
Town of Colma
Colma, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financ ial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, of the Town of Colma, California as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financ ial statements, which collectively comprise Town of Colma’s basic financial statements aslisted 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, busine ss-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Town of Colma, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position and where applicable, cash flows thereof, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
B
asis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are furt her described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Town of Colma, 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.
Responsi
bilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the prep aration and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Town of Colma’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 assuranc e but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Unites States of America will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misr epresentations, or the override of in ternal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood t hat, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Unites States of America, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and d
esign and perform audit procedures respon sive 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 Town of Colma’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Town Council
Town of Colma - Page 2

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditi ons or events, considered in the aggreg ate, that raise substantial doubt about Town of Colma’
s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonabl e period of time.
We a
re required to communicate with those charged wi th governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the Unit ed States of America requi re that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and other required supplementary information as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic fi nancial statements. Such informatio n, 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 the financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied cert ain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United St ates of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s response s to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic fi nancial 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 Town of Colma’s basic financial statements. The accompanying Supplementary Information, as listed in the Table of Contents, is presented for purposes of additional analys is and is 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 financia l statements or to the basic financial statements themselves , and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America . In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory Section and Statistical Section listed in the Table of Contents but does not include 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 bas ic 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 informat ion otherwise appears to be materia lly 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR JUNE 30, 2022
3 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This is Management’s Discussion and Analysis of financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. This information should be read together with the transmittal letter, financial statements, and notes to the basic financial statements to better understand the Town of Colma’s (the Town) financial position.
The Town has prepared its Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and all Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements that affect the Town.
FISCAL YEAR 2022 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Key financial highlights of the year are as follows:
The Town’s assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $78.13 million. Of this amount, $54.46 million was invested in capital assets, $10.14 million was restricted net position and must be used for specific purposes, and the remaining $13.53 million was unrestricted net position. The Town’s governmental fund balance was $40.76 million, an increase of $2.70 million. Of this amount, $10.32 million was an unassigned fund balance and available for spending at the Town’s discretion.
The Town’s proprietary funds consist of activities in sewer and town properties operations. The Town’s proprietary fund stayed relatively the same at $2.56 million and has $0.31 million as unrestricted net position and available for use at the Town’s discretion. Total governmental fund revenues decreased by $2.15 million, to $19.10 million. Due to economic uncertainties, interest earnings experienced a loss of $1.01 million in FY 2021-22, resulting in a reduction of $2.24 million when compared to FY 2020-21 interest earnings. The loss of $1.01 million was mainly experienced in the Town’s 115 Trust for pension and OPEB. Intergovernmental revenues decreased by $1.33 million as a result of one-time capital improvement grants received in FY 2021.
Total governmental fund expenditures decreased by $1.93 million, to $16.28 million. The decrease is primarily related to the completion of the $2.86 million Mission Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project.
The Town’s general fund balances increased by $1.90 million, to $36.94 million. Of the amount, $9.47 million is restricted to Pension and OPEB trust, $16.21 million is committed to various budget stabilization reserves, $0.95 million is assigned per City Council initiatives, and $10.32 million is unassigned and available for spending at the Town’s discretion. Total general fund revenues were reduced by $1.21 million, to $18.57 million, and this was primarily due to the $1.01 million investment loss in the Town’s 115 Trusts. Total general fund expenditures had a $0.65 million increase or 4%, to $15.36 million. The main driver of the increase is resulted from restoration of Town operations back to pre-pandemic service levels. This includes increases in minor roadway improvements, recreation programs, community

4 events, and permit activities. Vacancies were also filled in FY 2021-22. These vacancies were frozen in FY 2020-21 to prepare for the financial impact of COVID-19 business closures.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This annual report consists of five parts – amanagement’s discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, required supplemental information, supplemental information consisting of the combining statements for nonmajor governmental funds and budget to actual comparison statements and a statistical section. The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the Town.
THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This section introduces the reader to the Town’s three basic financial statements: 1) governmental-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the basic financial statements.
Governmental-Wide Statements
The governmental-wide financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis, which means they measure the flow of all economic resources of the Town as a whole.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities present information about the following:
Governmental Activities – All of the Town’s basic services are considered to be governmental activities. These services are supported by general Town revenues such as taxes, and by specific program revenues such as user fees and charges.
Business-type Activities – The Town’s enterprise activities of the Town Properties Fund and the Sewer Fund are reported in this area. Unlike governmental services, these services are supported by charges paid by users based on the amount of the service they use.
TOWN OF COLMA, CALIFORNIA
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR JUNE 30, 2022
5 Fund Financial Statements
These statements provide additional detail for the Town’s most significant Funds. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The funds used by the Town can be divided into two categories: Governmental funds and Proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for the same functions reported as governmental activities on the Government-wide financial statements. However, this reporting has a focus on the near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as the ending balances. The Town has a total of eleven governmental funds.
The Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the Town’s most significant funds, called Major Funds. Major Funds present the major activities of the Town for the year and may change from year-to-year as a result of changes in the pattern of the Town’s activities. In accordance with government finance reporting standards, the General Fund is always reported as a Major Fund. Basedon these standards the Town Capital Project Fund and the Street Capital Fund are also a Major Funds for the year ended June 30, 2022. Each Major Fund is presented individually, with all Non-major Funds summarized and presented only in a single column. Subordinate schedules present the detail of these Non-major Funds (Measure A Transportation Tax Fund; State Gas Tax Fund; Law Enforcement Grant Fund; Debt Service Fund and three others).
Proprietary funds
The Town maintains two types of Proprietary funds: enterprise and internal service. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The Town uses an enterprise fund to account for its Sewer and Town Properties Funds. An Internal Services Fund (ISF) is an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the Town’s various operating functions. In this case it is used to build up reserves for future replacement of vehicles and fleet equipment. These services solely benefit the government function. A separate Statement of Net Position and Statement of Cash Flow is included for the ISF.
The Town’s two Enterprise Funds are reported as Major Funds.
Fund Financial Statements include governmental funds as discussed below.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis, which means they measure only current financial resources and uses. Capital assets and other long-lived assets, along with long-term liabilities, are not presented in the Governmental Fund Financial Statements.
Comparisons of Budget and Actual financial information are presented only for the General Fund, as required by GASB Statement No. 34.

6 GOVERNMENTAL-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
All financial statements are presented in conformance with GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) – for State and Local Governments. Prior year information is made available for a comparative analysis of government‐wide data.
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION (FIGURE 1)
As of June 30, 2022, the Town’s primary government net position is $78.13 million, an increase of $3.40 million from 2021. Of the $78.13 million, $75.57 million is in governmental activities and $2.56 million in business-type activities.
By far the largest portion of the Town’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, infrastructure, buildings, machinery, and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The Town uses these capital assets ($58.89 million) to provide services to its citizens. Consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the town’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay the debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the Town’s net position ($10.14 million) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how the funds may be used, such as future pension and OPEB obligations. The remaining balance in unrestricted net position amounts to $13.53 million.

12 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF TOWN’S FUNDS
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
The Town uses fund accounting, which focuses on current financial resources affecting near-term liquidity.
It is also a management tool for segregating certain resources for specific activities or objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations.
The focus of the governmental funds is to provide information on current year revenues, expenditures, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town’s near-term financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. For fiscal year 2021-22, the Town’s major funds included the general fund, capital improvement fund, and street capital improvement fund. Special revenues, and debt funds are reported as Other Governmental Funds.
General Fund:
At June 30, 2022, the Town’s general funds reported combined ending balances of $36.94 million, an increase of $1.90 million. General fund revenues decreased by $1.21 million, to $18.57 million, and expenditures increased by $0.65 million, to $15.36 million.
Sales and cardroom tax revenues continue to be the main sources of revenues for the Town. Sales tax remained steady from the prior year, experiencing an increase of $244,000. Cardroom tax revenues doubled from the prior year, to $4.34 million, as business operations restored. Use of money and property reduced by $2.19 million from positive $1.20 million in FY 2020-21 to negative $0.99 million in FY 2021-
22. The dramatic reduction in use of money of property is driven by market fluctuation in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. Due to inflation, supply shortage, and the three federal reserve rate increases by June 30, 2022, investor confident fluctuated significantly in FY 2021-22. This resulted in the interest loss absorbed by the Town’s 115 Trust. It also impacted the CalPERS investment return for FY 2021-22, which will impact the Town’s operating cost in FY 2023-24.
TOWN OF COLMA, CALIFORNIA
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR JUNE 30, 2022
13 Overall, general fund expenditures of $15.36 million represents 78% of town-wide operating cost (excluding capital). Compared to FY 2020-21, general fund expenditures increased by $0.65 million. In general all department operating cost increased by $887,000, with the exception of public safety. Public safety expenditure reduced by $233,000 due to a change in accounting treatment of OPEB contributions.
With the consolidation of 115 Trust activities into the General Fund categories, the Town showed 115 Trust contribution as both a revenues and expenditures in FY 2020-21 and the contribution were reclassified as transfers in and out in FY 2021-22.
As for the $887,000 operating expenditure increase in the other department, the two main factors include increased department activities to restore department operation to pre-pandemic levels and increase in insurance cost.

14 Non-Major Governmental Funds:
These funds are not presented separately in the basic financial statements. In FY 2020-21, Street Capital Fund was reported separately from non-major governmental funds due to the $2.55 million capital improvement project spending. For FY 2021-22, the street capital fund is reported as part of the non-major governmental fund. As result, the analysis below will compare the non-major government funds for FY 2021-22 to the combination of the Street Capital Fund and other Non-Major Governmental Funds for FY 2020-21.

Correspondingly, expenditure for all non-major government funds decreased from $3.07 million from FY 2020-21 to $586,627 in FY 2021-22. This is also attributed by the completion of the two major street capital improvement projects.

17 ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
The narratives below discuss the Town’s major tax revenues and the assumptions included in the adopted 2022- 23 budget.
As a financial planning document, the Town of Colma considers global and local economic conditions in the development of the FY 2022-23 budget.
Globally, the Town of Colma operation continues to be impacted by COVID-19, inflation, and the War in Ukraine. With the COVID-19 Omicron surge, the State required all employers to provide an additional 80 hours of supplemental COVID sick leave which is in addition to the Town's accrued leave policy. The additional sick leave is an additional cost to the Town and sunsets in September 2022. Additionally, with each positive case, the Town is required by Cal/OSHA to conduct deep cleaning of the impacted facility.
The FY 2022-23 budget accounts for both the supplemental sick leave and the facility cleaning costs.
Inflation impacts the Town's revenues and expenditures. For revenues, the increase in the cost of consumer goods equates to higher sales tax collected. The increase in sales tax revenues is temporary and will reduce once the market readjusts. On the expenditures side, the purchase of selected supplies and equipment will increase due to inflation. Additionally, due to the rise in inflation, the Federal Reserve has scheduled several rate increases to slow down the market. This will impact the Town's commercial development and interest earnings. The War in Ukraine further exacerbated the supply chain shortages and the impact of inflation.
Locally, the Town of Colma has been dealing with the decline in brick and mortar and the rise in unfunded liabilities. With the convenience and availability of online sales, the Town saw an increase in vacant storefronts, pre-pandemic. Part of the Colma 2020-2022 Strategic Plan is creating an economic development ad hoc committee chaired by the City Manager and facilitated by various economic development consultants. The plan to address vacant storefronts is under development.
As for unfunded liabilities, the City Council has approved and updated the unfunded liabilities strategy and the Town's reserve policy to fund 115 trusts for future pension and OPEB costs. The Town also made additional contributions to CalPERS to reduce the Town's unfunded pension liabilities.
CONTACTING THE TOWN’S FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

GOVERNMENTAL-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities summarize the Town’s financial activities and financial position. They are prepared on the same basisas is used by most businesses, which means they include all the Town’s assets and all its liabilities, as well as all its revenues and expenses. This is known as the full accrual basis—the effect of all the Town’s transactions is taken into account, regardless of whether or when cash changes hands, but all material internal transactions between Town’s funds have been eliminated.
The Town’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. Since the Town’s Internal Service Funds service these Funds, their activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after eliminating inter-fund transactions and balances. The Town’s Business-type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the Town’s net position. It is also prepared on the full accrual basis, which means it includes all the Town’s revenues and all its expenses, regardless of when cash changes hands. This differs from the “modified accrual” basis used in the Fund financial statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues and measurable expenditures.
The format of the Statement of Activities presents the Town’s expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with the expenses of its business-type activities. Program revenues—that is, revenues which are generated directly by these programs—are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each governmental and business-type program. The Town’s general revenues are then listed in the Governmental Activities or Business-type Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
These financial statements along with the fund financial statements and footnotes are called Basic Financial Statements.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
29 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The Town of Colma (the Town) is a municipal corporation governed by an elected five-member Town Council. The accompanying basic financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. The Town has no component units.
The Town provides customary municipal services including general governmental activities, police protection, streets, maintenance, parks and recreation activities, planning and zoning, and building and public works. The Town contracts for sanitary sewer services with local providers in Daly City and South San Francisco, for street lighting services with San Mateo County, and for water service from CalWater.
B. Entity-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The entity-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the Town with the effect of interfund activity 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 or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for the Town’s governmental funds. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, & Financial Statement Presentati on The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when “measurable” and “available”. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Town of Colma
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
30 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, & Financial Statement Presentation (concluded) Property taxes, sales taxes, card room 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 government reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Capital Improvement Project Fund accounts for resources transferred from the General Fund to complete capital improvement projects.
The Town reports the following major proprietary funds:
Town Properties Fund accounts for the activities of the Town’s housing program.
Sewer Fund accounts for the activities of the Town’s sewer service.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. This includes elimination of interfund payables and receivables and of interfund transfers.
The Town may fund programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be available to finance program expenditures. The Town’s policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.
Additionally, the Town reports the following fund type:
The Internal Service Fund is used to account for the replacement of the Town’s fleet and associated equipment provided to other Town departments on a cost reimbursement basis.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers and applicants, for goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions and 3) capital grants and contributions. 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 goods and services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations.
The principal operating revenues of the enterprise and internal service funds are charges for sales and services.
Operating expenses for enterprise funds include salaries and employee benefits, maintenance and operation of systems and facilities, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues/expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Town of Colma

June 30, 2022
31 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity
Deposits and Investments
The Town’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
State statutes authorize the Town to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, commercial paper, corporate bonds, repurchase agreements, the State Treasurer’s Investment Pool, and other permitted investments. Investments for the Town are reported at fair value. Investments in guaranteed investment contracts are reported at cost. The State Treasurer’s Investment Pool operates in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Town categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs - other than quoted prices included within level 1 - that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Town considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Proprietary fund types, cash and investments balances classified as Available for Operations are considered cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows.
Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year is referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans).
All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds ”.
The Town has determined that an allowance for uncollectible is not necessary as all receivables have been deemed collectible.
Property taxes are levied as of March 1 on property values assessed as of the same date. State statutes provide that the property tax rate be limited generally to one percent of market value, be levied by only the county, and be shared by applicable jurisdictions.
Town of Colma
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
32 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (continued) The County of San Mateo (the County) collects the taxes and distributes them to taxing jurisdictions on the basis of assessed valuations subject to voter-approved debt. Property taxes are due on November 1 and March 1, and each installment becomes delinquent after December 10 and April 10, respectively. The Town receives property taxes pursuant to an arrangement with the County known as the “Teeter Plan”. Under the plan, the County assumes responsibility for the collection of the delinquent taxes and pays the full allocation to the Town. The Town recognizes property tax revenues in the fiscal year in which they are levied for the Town.
Inventories and Prepaid Items
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure-type assets such as roads, bridges, sidewalks, and streetlights, are reported in the accompanying basic financial statements. They are reported in the applicable governmental-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements.
Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $10,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost when available, or at estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Property, plant, and equipment of the Town is depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 50
Infrastructure – street system 40-50
Vehicles 8
Equipment 5-25
Improvements 20
Compensated Absences
It is the government’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave benefits. There is a liability for a portion of unpaid accumulated sick leave since the Town does have a policy to pay certain amounts when certain employees separate from service with the Town. All vacation and sick leave is accrued when incurred in the government-wide financial statements. The Town typically uses the General Fund to liquidate the majority of its compensated absences.
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position, and GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, the Town recognizes deferred outflows and inflows of resources.
Town of Colma
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
33 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (continued) In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. A deferred outflow of resources is defined as a consumption of net position by the government that is applicable to a future reporting period.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. A deferred inflow of resources is defined as an acquisition of net position by the Town that is applicable to a future reporting period.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Town of Colma’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value.
Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable government-type activities statement of net position.
Net Position
Government-wide net position consists of the following:
Restricted Net Position – This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments.
Unrestricted Net Position – This amount includes all net position that does not meet the definition of “invested in capital assets, net of related debt” or “restricted net position”.
Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt – This category groups all capital assets into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
Governmental fund balance consists of the following:
Fund Equity
The accompanying basic financial statements reflect certain changes that have been made with respect to the reporting components of fund balances for governmental funds. In previous years, fund balances for governmental funds were reported in accordance with previous standards that included components for reserved fund balance, unreserved fund balance, designated fund balance, and undesignated fund balance. Due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 54, the components of the fund balances of governmental funds now reflect the component classifications described below.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund balances are reported in the following classifications:
Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that are not in a spendable form, such as prepaid items or supplies inventories, or that are legally or contractually required to remain intact, such as principal endowments.
Town of Colma
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
34 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (continued) Restricted fund balance includes amounts that are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions imposed by outside parties (i.e., creditors, grantors, contributors) or that are imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance includes amounts whose use is constrained by specific limitations that the government imposes upon itself, as determined by a formal action of the highest-level decision- making authority. The Town Council serves as the Town’s highest level decision-making authority and has the authority to establish, modify or rescind a fund balance commitment via minutes’ action.
Assigned fund balance includes amounts intended to be used by the Town for specific purposes, subject to change, as established either directly by the Town Council or by management officials to whom the assignment authority has been delegated by the Town Council.
Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification that includes the spendable amounts in the General Fund that are available for any purpose.
When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) fund balances are available, the Town’s policy specifies that restricted revenues will be applied first. When expenditures are incurred for the purposes for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the Town’s policy is to apply committed fund balances first, then apply assigned fund balances, and finally unassigned fund balances.
Stabilization Reserve
The Town maintains a budget stabilization reserve in an amount sufficient to ensure continuity of operations in the event of a severe economic downturn, which amount is hereby determined to be one hundred percent (100%), rounded to the nearest $100,000, of the General Fund expenditures for the prior fiscal year, excluding appropriations toward Accrued Leave Liability Reserve, OPEB contribution, and pension contribution.
Accrued Leave Reserve
The Town maintains an Accrued Leave Reserve committed for vacation payout (and sick leave when related to retirement) when an employee separates from the Town. The amount committed will be determined as part of the budget process.
Litigation Reserve
The Town maintains a Litigation Reserve, in the amount of $100,000, to pay the Town’s costs and attorneys’ fees necessary for the initiation or defense of new litigation authorized by the Town Council after adoption of a budget for the fiscal year in which the litigation commenced.
Insurance Reserve
The Town maintains an Insurance Reserve, in the amount of $100,000, to pay for any deductibles charged to the Town by its insurance carrier(s) not accounted for in the adopted budget .
Disaster Response and Recovery Reserve
The Town maintains a Disaster Response and Recovery Reserve, in the amount of $750,000, to pay the Town’s costs of emergency repairs to or replacements of parts of the Town infrastructure damaged by any natural or man-made disaster, or to abate or prevent further damage to life or property.

Certain amounts presented in the prior year data have been reclassified to be consistent with the current years' presentation.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE & FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. Explanation of Certain Differences Between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Government-wide Statement of Net Position
The governmental fund balance sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance – total governmental funds and net position – governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation explains, “capital assets are not financial resources and are not reported in the funds.” The details of this difference are as follows:
Capital assets $ 78,036,395
Less: accumulated depreciation (21,398,078)
Net adjustment to increase fund balance – total governmental funds to arrive at net position – governmental activities $ 56,638,317 Another element of the reconciliation explains that “long-term liabilities” are not due and payable in the current period and are therefore not reported in the funds. The details are as follows:
Long-Term Debt Obligations:
Deferred outflows – pension $ 3,304,194
Deferred outflows – OPEB 2,253,930
Deferred inflows – pension (3,991,730)

NOTE 3 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for all funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. Before the end of each fiscal year, all departments of the Town submit requests to the Town Manager so that a budget may be prepared. Before June 30, the proposed budget is presented to the Town Council for review. The Town Council holds public hearings, and a final budget must be prepared and adopted no later than June 30.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the fund level.
Expenditures for capital projects or the creation of additional positions requires the specific authorization of the Town Council. Encumbrance accounting is not employed.

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of the Town’s investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Town’s investments (including investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the above table that shows the distribution of the Town’s investments by maturity or earliest call date.
California Law requires banks and savings and loan associations to pledge government securities with a market value of 110% of the Town’s cash on deposit or first trust deed mortgage notes with a value of 150% of the deposit as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law, this collateral is held in the Town’s name and places the Town ahead of general creditors of the institution.
As of June 30, 2022, the Town holds $39 in unexpended proceeds from the Certificates of Participation, which were included in Cash and Investments recorded in the Capital Projects Fund.
These restricted funds are spent on project costs as defined in the underlying indenture.
The Town does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Trustees under bond indentures may also invest in guaranteed investment contracts.
The Town’s investments are carried at fair value instead of cost, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Town adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each fiscal year end, and it includes th e effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year.
The Town is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The Town reports its investment in LAIF at the fair value amount provided by LAIF, which is the same as the value of the pool share. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Included in LAIF’s investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, and floating rate securities issued by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, United States Treasury Notes and Bills, and corporations.
The Town maintains specific cash deposits with the County and voluntarily participates in the external investment pool of the County. The County is restricted by state code in the types of investments it can make. Furthermore, the County Treasurer has a written investment policy, approved by the Board of Supervisors, which is more restrictive than state code as to terms of maturity and type of investment. Also, the County has an investment committee that performs regulatory oversight for its pool as required by California Government Code Section 27134.

A. Cash and Investments (concluded)
The County’s investment policy authorizes the County to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, its agencies and instrumentalities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper rated A-1 by Standard & Poor’s Corporation or P-1 by Moody’s Commercial Paper Record, bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements, and the State Treasurer’s investment pool.
At June 30, 2022, the Town’s cash with the County Treasurer is stated at fair value. However, the value of the pool shares in the County that may be withdrawn is determined on an amortized cost basis, which is different than the fair value of the Town’s position in the pool.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Town categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in an active market for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The following is a summary of the fair value hierarchy of the fair value of investments of the Town as of June 30, 2022:
Investment Type Level 2 Uncategorized Total
California Local Agency Investment Fund $ - $ 2,138,248 $ 2,138,248 San Mateo Co. Treasurer’s Investment Pool - 15,760,034 15,760,034 Certificates of Deposit 4,729,009 - 4,729,009

Total cash and investments $ 40,647,748
The California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), the San Mateo County Investment Pool and the Public Agency Retirement System are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy but are valued using net asset value which approximates fair value.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The actual ratings as of June 30, 2022 are provided by Standard and Poor’s except as noted.

A. Risk Management (concluded)
Property coverage is also provided by the PLAN with the Town having a $10,000 deductible. The PLAN provides the coverage using a self-insured pool to cover losses up to $100,000. The PLAN purchases an insurance policy to cover losses above its $100,000 self-insured retention with a per occurrence coverage for all members combined up to $1 billion. Workers’ compensation insurance is provided to the Town by EIA (Entity Insurance Authority) at statutory coverage limits, without a deductible. The Town had no significant changes in insurance coverage during the year. For the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022, the Town incurred liability claims expenses totaling $73,362.
There was one open claim as of June 30, 2022.
B. Contingencies and Commitments
Litigation
The Town is involved in litigation incurred in the normal course of conducting Town business. Town management believes, based upon consultation with its counsel, that these cases, in the aggregate, are not expected to result in a material adverse financial impact on the Town.
Disallowed Claims
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the government expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
Coronavirus Pandemic
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) began to spread among various countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In addition, multiple jurisdictions in the U.S., including California, declared a state of emergency and issued shelter-in-place orders in response to the outbreak. The immediate impact to the Town’s operations included limited available resources to perform day-to-day operations. It is anticipated that the impacts from this pandemic will continue for some time. As of the report date, the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak cannot be measured.
C. Public Employees Retirement System

C. Public Employees Retirement System (continued)
CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Benefits Provided - CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits.
All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The applicable PERS plan depends on the employee classification and hire date. In some situations hiring of an employee who was previously an active member in PERS results in the “Classic” Plan benefit regardless of the date of hiring.
The Plan provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2022, are summarized as follows:
The Town’s Miscellaneous and Safety Rate Plans are part of the public agency cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan (PERF C), which is administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). PERF C consists of a miscellaneous pool and a safety pool (also referred to as “risk pools”), which are comprised of individual employer miscellaneous and safety rate plans, respectively.

Individual employers may sponsor more than one miscellaneous and safety rate plan. The employer participates in one cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan regardless of the number of rate plans the employer sponsors. The Town sponsors six rate plans (three miscellaneous and three safety).
Contributions - Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for the Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The Town is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
In fiscal year 2015, the Town established a Section 115 irrevocable trust with the Public Agency Retirement Systems (PARS). As of June 30, 2022 the Town reported the account balance of $3,920,187 as restricted investments in the General Fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the contributions recognized as part of pension expense for each Plan were as follows.
As of June 30, 2022, the Town reported net pension liabilities for its proportionate shares of the net pension liability of the Miscellaneous and Safety Plans as follows:
The Town’s net pension liability for the Plans is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2021, and the total pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020 rolled forward to June 30, 2021 using standard update procedures. The Town’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Town’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The Town’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Plan as of June 30, 2020 and 2021 was as follows:

Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return – The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits of cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:

48 NOTE 6 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Town employees may defer a portion of their compensation under a Town sponsored Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457.
Under this Plan, participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of the compensation until it is distributed to them; distributions may be made only at termination, retirement, death or in an emergency as defined by the Plan.
Separate from any amounts that employees voluntarily defer, regular employees are eligible to receive a $100 monthly matching contribution made to the Plan as a benefit by the Town. A total of 34 employees received this benefit during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The Town’s contributions towards this benefit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 were $38,350.
The laws governing the Plan assets require Plan assets to be held by a Trust for the exclusive benefits of Plan participants and their beneficiaries. Since the assets held under this Plan are not the Town’s property, are not managed by the Town and are not subject to claims by general creditors of the Town, they have been excluded from these financial statements.
NOTE 7 - POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN RETIREMENT Other Post-employment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB) For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense information about the fiduciary net position of the Town’s Retiree Benefits Plan (the Plan) and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan.
For this purpose, the Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Plan Description
Benefit Tier A covers POA and PCR employees hired before May 31, 2008, and General employees hired before July 1, 2012. The Town pays 100% of medical premiums.
Benefit Tier B covers General employees hired between July 1, 2012 and March 31, 2017, and POA and PCR employees hired after June 1, 2008, but before June 30, 2012. The Town pays the medical premium multiplied by a vesting percentage, ranging from 50% for those with at least 10 years of service to 100% for those who have 20 or more years of service.
Benefit Tier C covers POA and PCR employees hired between July 1, 2012 and March 31, 2017.
Benefits are the same as Tier B, but the maximum paid by the Town is capped at the highest of the second most costly plan.
Benefit Tier D for General, POA, and PCR employees hired after April 1, 2017, the Town pays the PEMHCA minimum for those enrolled in a CalPERS medical plan. As stated in the memorandums of understanding with the POA and PCR, the start date for this Tier was January 1, 2017. The implementation of the required plans delayed the implementation to April 1, 2017. No new employees were eligible between January 1, 2017 and March 31, 2017.
The Town pays 100% of the dental premiums for General employees and PCR employees hired before May 1, 2010, and for POA employees hired before June 1, 2008. Employee benefits are governed by the Town Council.

50 NOTE 7 - POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN RETIREMENT (continued) Discount Rate
GASB 75 allows the use of a discount rate that is up to the expected long -term rate of return on the assets in the Trust set aside to pay benefits, if the plan sponsor makes regular contributions to the Trust such that the assets are not depleted at any point in the future. If the Plans’ actuary determines that contributions are not sufficient to keep the Trust funded, a blend of the long-term rate of return and the yield or index rate for 20-year, tax-exempt municipal bonds will be used for the periods when the Trust funds are not sufficient to cover benefit payments. Based on this requirement, and with the approval of the plan sponsor, the discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 4.97%
Long-Term Expected Real Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return is determined using the long-term rates of return developed by Highmark Capital Management for the Moderately Conservative Investment Strategy as of May 20, 2020.

NOTES TO THE BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULE
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
54 The Town follows these procedures in establishing the operating budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
Prior to June 30, the Town Manager submits to the Town Council a proposed annual operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means for financing them. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution during a regular Town Council meeting in the month of June.
The Town Manager may transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any revision that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the Town Council. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Fund, Enterprise Funds, and the Capital Project Funds. These are the only funds with legally adopted budgets. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with US. GAAP, except for Capital Project Fund expenditures, which are budgeted for the life of the project. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by the Town Council. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in the governmental fund types. Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditures of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are recorded as reservations of fund balance since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Outstanding encumbrances at year-end are automatically re-appropriated for the following year. Unencumbered and unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end unless Town Council takes action in the form of a resolution to continue the appropriations into the following fiscal year.

Assessed and Estimated Actual Value of Taxable Property Last Ten Fiscal Years
(a) Assessed values presented are net of exemptions. The State Constitution requires property to be assessed at one hundred percent of the most recent purchase price, plus an increment of no more than two percent annually, plus any local over-rides. These values are considered to be full market values. (b) California cities do not set their own direct tax rate. The State Constitution establishes the rate at 1% and allocates a portion of that amount, by an annual calculation, to all the taxing entities within a tax rate area. The Town of Colma has seven tax rate areas.

Colma, California
In planning and performing our audit of the basic financial statements of Town of Colma for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the basic financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of its internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Town of Colma’s internal control.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity’s basic financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the basic financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal control.
Our consideration of the internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, as defined above. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider material weaknesses, as defined above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and Town Council of Town of Colma and others within the organization, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
We thank Town of Colma’s staff for its cooperation during our audit.

We have audited the basic financial statements of Town of Colma for the year ended June 30, 2022. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibility under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards As stated in our engagement letter dated August 4, 2022, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement and are fairly presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance and because we did not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us.
As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of Town of Colma. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies used by Town of Colma are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year. We noted no transactions entered into by Town of Colma during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. There are no significant transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements in a different period than when the transaction occurred.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events.
Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accounting estimates in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
Accrual and disclosure of compensated absences;
Capital asset lives and depreciation expense;
Actuarial assumptions for pension and post-employment benefits; Fair value of investments and financial instruments.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performin g and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors’ report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated XX/XX/XX.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to Town of Colma’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as Town of Colma’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our r esponses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Budgetary Comparison Schedule for the General Fund, Local Government’s Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability, and Schedules of Contributions, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the combining statements and individual fund statements, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the Introductory Section and the Statistical Section, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and Town Council of Town of Colma and others within the organization, and is not intended to be , and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Staff Report NOC for F Street Retaining Wall Improvement Project Page 2 of 3 3/22/2023
BACKGROUND
The City Council awarded the Project to Farallon Construction Engineering. At their August 24th, 2022, City Council Meeting. The Project consisted of repairing concrete spalling, crack repairs with epoxy injection, various drainage repairs, hardscape enhancements, architectural pilasters, placement of cobbles between upper and lower wall, clean prime and paint both upper and lower walls.
ANALYSIS
Once the project was awarded, it had minimal delays, the delays that were encountered were due to weather conditions. The contractor still completed the project within the contract allowable days. Many of the approved change orders (Attachment A) were due to increased quantities in several of the project line items, for example there were increases to the concrete spall repairs on the wall and support buttresses, increases in epoxy crack sealing, additional backfill and concrete flatwork adjacent to the existing house. There were also additional concrete bores provided for hydrostatic water build up behind the wall drainage and new drainpipes channeling water runoff through the wall and not behind the wall. A new access gate was provided for future maintenance access and the removal and replacement of the drain inlet by simple Uniform facility with a larger inlet to assist in capturing sidewalk stormwater runoff.
With the approved change orders, the construction management team kept the project with in the construction and construction contingency budget.
Staff requests the City Council to accept work performed on the Project and authorize the Director of Public Works to file a Notice of Completion with the San Mateo County Recorder’s Office.
The filing of the Notice of Completion means:
• The Town accepts the Project as complete.
• The time frame for the filing of stop payment notice claims is shortened once the Notice of Completion has been timely filed with the San Mateo County Recorder’s Office
To date there have been no stop notices or claims filed with the Town for the Project.
Council Adopted Values
By accepting the Project as complete, the City Council has reviewed and approved the work performed by Farallon Construction Engineering, thus taking a Responsible position requesting that the Notice of Completion be filed with the County Recorder’s Office and that final payment be timely made to the contractor.
Alternatives
The City Council can choose not to accept the Project and direct the filing of the Notice of Completion for the Project. The Town would then not accept the Project as complete and file the Notice of Completion with the San Mateo County Recorder’s Office. Such action would increase the time for subcontractors and material suppliers to file claims.

Item #5
Staff Report NOC-2022 Mission Road Crosswalk Improvement Project Page 2 of 3 3/22/2023
BACKGROUND
The City Council awarded the Project to Golden Bay Construction Inc. At their August 24th, 2022, City Council Meeting. The Mission Road Crosswalk Improvement Project consisted of concrete curb ramp extensions(bulb-outs), high-visibility crosswalk with rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs), thermoplastic striping and markings, and all other associated work.
The new crosswalk is located at the back entrance of the Treasure Island Trailer Park and just north of Holy Cross Cemetery northern entrance. The construction of two hot asphalt mix (HMA) speed humps were included in the project. The speed humps were placed, one speed hump between the North Gate and Main Gate of Holy Cross Cemetery and the second speed hump between the Main Gate and the South Gate of Holy Cross Cemetery.
ANALYSIS
Once the project was awarded, it had several months delays due to a backlog in the manufacturing and shipping of the RRFB’s. once the equipment was delivered the contractor started and finished the project well within the allowed amount of time as stated within the contract documents. Completion of the project was in the later part of February 2022.
Staff requests the City Council to accept work performed on the Project and authorize the Director of Public Works to file a Notice of Completion with the San Mateo County Recorder’s Office.
The filing of the Notice of Completion means:
• The Town accepts the Project as complete.
• The time frame for the filing of stop payment notice claims is shortened once the Notice of Completion has been timely filed with the San Mateo County Recorder’s Office

O: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Farhad Mortazavi APA, City Planner
Alvin Jen, APA, Associate Planner
VIA: Brian Dossey, City Manager
MEETING DATE: March 22, 2023
SUBJECT: 2022 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Report
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council make the following motion:
MOTION ACCEPTING THE 2022 ANNUAL REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
GENERAL PLAN, INCLUDING THE HOUSING ELEMENT PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINE 15378
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Town is required to submit an annual report on the implementation of the General Plan and Housing Element to the State. Prior to staff sending the report to the state, the City Council must accept the report.
FISCAL IMPACT
The preparation of the 2022 Annual Report on the status of implementation of the General Plan and Housing Element does not have an impact on the Town’s adopted budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it is more akin to an administrative function of the Town in reporting housing data to the State with no direct or indirect change in the environment. It is therefore exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guideline 15378 as an administrative activity of the government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
Item #6
Staff Report – 2022 General Plan Annual Report Page 2 of 4
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 65400 requires that an Annual Report be prepared that details the status of implementation of the General Plan and the Housing Element. This report is to be submitted to the City Council, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) before April 1 each year.
Additionally, starting this reporting year, the Town has compiled an Inventory List, which declared certain properties as exempt surplus land and non -surplus land as defined in Government Code Section 54220, of the Surplus Land Act.
ANALYSIS
The 2040 Colma General Plan and associated Environmental Impact Report were updated and adopted in March 2022 . Some policies of the prior 1999 General Plan were quite outdated and were evidence of the need for an update to the 1999 General Plan. The discussion below highlights actions that have been taken in 2022 regarding each element of the current 2040 General Plan:
Housing Element
No new housing units were built or en titled in Colma in 202 2, so many pages of the Annual Housing Report (Attachment A) are blank. The following list summarizes the policy highlights of Housing Element implementation in the last calendar year:
• The only housing category where Colma has not produced any units in the current RHNA cycle (Regional Housing Needs Allocation – 5
th Cycle) is in the moderate-income category.
• Colma continues to provide funding to programs such as the Human Investment Project (HIP), and LifeMoves as discussed in the Housing Element. These non-profit organizations provide housing related services to Colma and the broader San Mateo County community.
A
dditional information about Housing Element compliance can be found in Tables B and D of the attached Annual Progress Report.
Circulation Element
No policy implementation occurred this year on the General Plan Circulation Element. The Town is in the early stages of a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan that builds on the El Camino Real Bike and Pedestrian Plan, the Serramonte Boulevard/Collins Avenue Master Plan, and the Hillside Boulevard complete streets improvement project.
Land Use Element
No policy implementation occurred this year on the General Plan Land Use Element.
Staff Report – 2022 General Plan Annual Report Page 3 of 4 Open Space and Conservation Element
The Town was certified as a Tree City for a fourth year and has applied for Tree City status for 2022.
Noise Element
No policy implementation occurred this year on the General Plan Noise Element.
Safety Element
No policy implementation occurred this year on the General Plan Safety Element.
Historical Resources Element
No policy implementation occurred this year on the General Plan Historical Resources Element. 2023-2031 Housing Element
Separate from the 2040 General Plan Update, the Town is required to have an adopted Housing Element for the 2023- 2031 housing cycle (6th Cycle) by the statutory deadline of January 31, 2023.
The first draft was submitted to HCD in June 2022 for a 90 -day review. After the initial review, HCD provided their comments to the Town. For the second draft, staff made edits to the element, responding to HCD’s comments, and included as an attachment a self-certification compliance checklist. The second/final draft of the Housing Element was adopted at a public hearing by City Council on January 25, 2023, and was submitted to HCD for a 60-day second review on January 30, 2023.
The Surplus Land Act
The Town has compiled an Inventory List consisting of ten (10) properties, nine (9) of which do not meet the definition of surplus land and are considered non surplus land per the HCD’s definition. The remaining property, 1365 Mission Road is a 0.02-acre one-unit condominium and is considered exempt from the Surplus Land Act per confirmation by HCD. This unit was sold in January 2023 and this property will be removed from the Inventory List for 2023 to HCD. The complete Inventory List can be found in Table B of the attached Annual Progress Report.
Council Adopted Values
The Annual Report on the General Plan complies with the Council’s commitment to Re sponsibility through the periodic review of the implementation of adopted policies and programs.
Sustainability Impact
A motion to accept the 2022 annual report on the implementation of the general plan will have no impact on sustainability.
Staff Report – 2022 General Plan Annual Report Page 4 of 4 Alternatives
The City Council could take no action. Doing so is not recommended, as the Town would not be in compliance with the requirements of Government Code Section 65400 to submit an annual report.
CO
NCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion, accept the 2022 Annual Report on the status of Implementation of the General Plan and Housing Element.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed contract with Mark Thomas is for the preparation of El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project, Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) for the El Camino Real within the Town of Colma.
T
he Town has designated a Project Initiation Document (PID) on El Camino Real (State Route 82, “ECR”) where the Measure W grant funding allocated by San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA) would be expensed. The ECR corridor and the need to improve pedestrian and bicycle accessibility and safety features along the roadway are essential in keeping the area accessible and safe for future housing needs and demands. The Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) will serve as the Project Initiation Document (PID) for the El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project in the Town of Colma.
The PSR-PDS will identify the Project need and purpose, stakeholder inputs, Project alternatives, anticipated right-of-way, preliminary environmental analysis, initial cost estimates, and Potential funding sources. The PSR-PDS approval will move the project into the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase. All of these studies are required when working within the State’s Right of Way.

FISCAL IMPACT
The San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA) awarded the Town of Colma $1,800,000 from the Measure W Highway Program Category (Measure W Funds) for the Project Initiation Document-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) phase for El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project. The Town will contribute $200,000 in local or other matching funds for a total project budget of $2,000,000.
The negotiated proposal to start and complete the PSR-PDS is agreed to by Mark Thomas for $981,737.11, in addition to about 5% Contingency in the amount of $47,000 which will be reimbursed by the SMCTA grant. Also, Caltrans will be reimbursed through Measure W Grant total amount $180,000 for Project Oversight. The Town will be required to provide a local match to this contract in the amount of $200,000 to manage the 12-month project. This amount of local match will be covered by the proposed CIP Allocation for FY 2022-23 for the project management of PSR-PDS by the Town Staff.
The Town’s proposed funding plan for the El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project, Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) is as follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s action in adopting the resolution is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15306 as information collection. The resolution will authorize information gathering including a study that will lead to a proposed plan for bike and pedestrian improvements along El Camino Real. Once the plan is developed, CEQA review will be conducted to determine the level of environmental analysis that will be required to implement the plan. The City Council at the time that the plan and CEQA review is completed, will determine whether to actually approve or adopt the plan.
BACKGROUND
El Camino Real (SR -82, “ECR”) is a State -owned and operated highway. The highway is a North/South roadway that travels from one end of Town at County of San Mateo/Daly City border to the other end of Town at the City of South San Francisco border.
The San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA) sponsored a grant program using Measure W Highway Program Funds to fund local highway/roadway projects throughout the County. The Town applied for this competitive grant and was awarded $1,800,000 to develop Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) along ECR within the Town of Colma.
The Town of Colma is the Project sponsor and implementing agency, the SMCTA is the funding agency and part of project management, and Caltrans is responsible for oversight. The Cooperative Agreement was executed with Caltrans on 1/11/2023 for the project oversight.
Staff Report - El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project, PSR-PDS Page 3 of 4 On February 1, 2023, the Town of Colma released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the preparation of the El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project, Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR-PDS). The RFP contained a very specific scope of work along with timely deliverables. The RFP was advertised on the Town’s website and Integrated Marketing System (IMS) - a public section project research firm that provides government bid opportunities to the Architect and Engineering sectors nationwide. In addition, the Town sent solicitations to twelve consultants available on Town’s and SMCTA’s vendor list.
Only one consultant, Mark Thomas, responded to the RFP on February 28, 2023. The consultant submitted a proposal that satisfied the RFP requirements and was interviewed on March 9, 2023 by a panel consisting of Town Staff, SMCTA, and Caltrans.
The Town followed the Town’s Municipal Code and Caltrans’s Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) – Chapter 10 in the consultant selection process. The evaluation was based on the technical merit of proposals and cost proposals were kept confidential until the proposal had been reviewed.
ANALYSIS
The Project segment of SR-82 is bounded by Albert M Teglia Blvd at the northerly end, and by Arlington Drive at the southerly end. The purpose of this Project is to improve multi-modal infrastructure, traffic operations, and safety along the Project segment of ECR.
The purpose of this project is to prepare a Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR- PDS), the required type of Project Initiation Document (PID), including intersection controls and alternatives, costs, and impacts. The PSR-PDS will also identify the type of environmental documents to be prepared in the Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phase and the coordination with Caltrans and SMCTA for review and approval. All analysis and modeling will be conducted with Caltrans-approved methodologies and models.
Initiation of this project requires the evaluation of alternatives, which will include understanding project history, defining the purpose and need, and developing quantifiable project alternatives.
This should be accomplished through careful study of the site constraints and coordination with Caltrans and SMCTA.
The Consultant shall be responsible for undertaking the following tasks under the scope of services, summarized below:
Task 1 – Project Management and Administration
Task 2 – Stakeholder Engagement and Coordination
Task 3 – Community Engagement
Task 4 – Project Initiation
Task 5 – Initial Engineering Analysis
Task 6 – Draft and Final Project Study Report-Project Development Support
With all the components in the scope of work, the project is anticipated to take approximately twelve (12) months to complete. It is anticipated to start in April 2023 and finish in May 2024 pending Caltrans and SMCTA final approvals.
Mark Thomas has shown proficiency with similar studies in complete streets and active transportation infrastructure. They recently completed and/or are currently working on similar projects such as the Decoto Road Corridor Multimodal Improvements PSR-PDS in Fremont, Grand Boulevard Phase III in the City of South San Francisco, Soquel Drive Multimodal Staff Report - El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project, PSR-PDS Page 4 of 4 Improvements in Santa Cruz County, and the Charleston-Arastradero Corridor Improvements in Palo Alto. Their subconsultant, Fehr & Peers, has extensive experience with El Camino Real and Grand Boulevard Initiative (GBI) goals through their work on the previous phase of El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan within Town of Colma.
Caltrans will provide oversight throughout the PSR-PDS process and provide Quality Management Assessment (QMA). This includes a review of sub-products to develop the PSR- PDS, ongoing advice and consultation, and participation in the Project Development Team (PDT) meetings and other Project activities.
