December 6, 2023
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens of the City of Corona, California:
It is with great pleasure that we present to you the City of Corona’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The ACFR is published to serve two purposes. First, it outlines accountability for public tax dollars and the services that are funded by these resources. Second, it communicates the results of operations and the City’s financial position to its constituents and provides a vital framework for future decisions about programs and services.
In order to ensure the reliability of the information in this financial report, the City contracted an independent audit firm, The Pun Group, LLP, to perform an annual audit. The goal of the audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement. The Pun Group, LLP issued an unmodified opinion for the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. An “unmodified opinion” is defined as follows: The auditor concludes that the financial statements of a given entity are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management is responsible for both the accuracy of the financial report and the completeness and fairness of the presentation. To the best of our knowledge, the information presented is accurate in all material aspects and includes all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain a reasonable understanding of the City’s financial activities. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, City management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft or misuse, and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the ACFR.
Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance, that the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
The ACFR is prepared using the financial reporting requirements outlined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) statements. Three sections are presented: the Introductory Section, the Financial Section, and the Statistical Section. This transmittal letter is included in the Introductory Section and is designed to complement and should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), which is included in the Financial Section. The MD&A provides an overview of the City’s operations and how we performed financially. The auditor’s opinion letter and a complete set of financial statements are presented in the Financial Section. The Statistical Section presents historical information about the City’s finances and operations, as well as demographic and economic data. vii
City of Corona Letter of Transmittal
The independent audit of the financial statements of the City of Corona is part of a broader, federally mandated audit of state and local governments (“Single Audit”) designed to meet the special needs of federal granting agencies. The standards governing Single Audit require the auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the City’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements. These reports are available in the City of Corona’s separately issued Single Audit Report.
The ACFR is a required component of continuing disclosure to the bondholders as covenanted by certain bond issues.
Community Profile
The City of Corona is a vibrant and culturally diverse community located in the heart of Southern California at the critical juncture between Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino Counties. It is served by two major freeways, Interstates 91 and 15, and has two major airports within 25 miles. Per data provided by the California State Department of Finance, the City’s population was 159,534 as of January 2023, and ranked 35th largest among all cities in California. City limits cover approximately 39.2 square miles.
The City of Corona was established in 1886 and incorporated in 1896 under the general laws of the State of California. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government. Five Corona citizens make up the Corona City Council and each is elected by district to a four-year term of office. The Mayor is appointed annually by and from the City Council.

A Full-Service City
The City provides full services to its citizens, including essential services such as: public safety (police and fire), streets, electricity, public library, parks, community center and other public facilities, planning and zoning, public transportation (Dial-A-Ride and Corona Cruiser programs), housing and economic development programs. Water and sewer services are provided through the legally separate Corona Utility Authority, which functions as a department of the City of Corona. The Corona Housing Authority and the Corona Public Financing Authority are component units of the primary City government and are financially accountable to the City. Additional information on all of these legally separated entities can be found in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements, under the Description of Reporting Entity section.
The City maintains budgetary controls to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriation approved by the City Council. Each year, a proposed budget is submitted to the City Council and a public meeting is conducted to receive taxpayer and stakeholder feedback. In recent years, the City has conducted multiple budget workshops to encourage additional public input. The budget is subsequently adopted by the City Council through the passage of resolutions at a normally agendized meeting of the full City Council. The legal level of budgetary control is at the department level. The City Council may amend the budget to add or delete appropriations or move appropriations between funds at any time during the fiscal year.

Demographic and Economic Information
Demographically, Corona benefits from a young median age, higher education levels, higher median incomes, and higher home values compared with Riverside County and the state. As a thriving inland community, Corona is home to young families comprised of 47,836 households averaging 3.72 persons each, with a median age of 35.3. Annual median household income is $99,593, and 84.3% of the population age 25 and up possess a high school diploma or higher according to U.S. Census data. Median home price continues to improve with median values in excess of $668,600.
The &ity of Corona continues to maintain its position as the premier location for businesses looking to relocate and expand. Corona’s geographic position attracts a highly educated and sought-after labor force.
Vacancy rates in industrial, commercial, and office properties fluctuated in 2023. Industrial vacancy rates increased to 5.8% due to the construction of new industrial buildings, retail vacancy remained steady at
5.6%, and office vacancy rates steadily increased to 10.7%, which aligns with the county’s overall office vacancy increase.
New industrial development, business expansions, and relocations to Corona have helped to stabilize Corona’s job market, despite economic impacts related to the global pandemic. Job growth in Corona reported a roughly 2% increase with employment numbers increasing to 88,400 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 in comparison to 87,000 at the end of fiscal year 2023. Major contributors to local economic growth are the construction, healthcare, and financial industries, in addition to the fast-growing professional, management, and technology sectors in previous years. Job growth will continue to be fueled by commercial and industrial development. Rexco has two professional buildings in plan check totaling 21,400 square feet on the southwest corner of Temescal Canyon Road and Pronio. In addition, Rexco’s Latitude business park on Tom Barnes and I-15 is under construction in its second phase. This project has 13 buildings totaling 1,073,781 square feet for industrial. The strong local job market keeps the unemployment rate in Corona at 4.1%, which is approximately 0.9% below the Riverside County average.
Fiscal Year 2023 continued to see an expanding housing market with increased median home prices and average rents for multi-family communities. New single-family housing developments include Sierra Bella, a new family community consisting of 237 single-family homes and Bedford South Corona, which will add approximately 1,500 attached and detached condominium units once complete, along with Corona’s newest retail development Bedford Marketplace. Both developments are under construction, with some homes completed and occupied by new homeowners.
With limited opportunities for large-scale new development, Corona continues looking for opportunities to redevelop and expand currently underutilized properties. Through its ongoing commitment to stimulate the local economy, maintain essential services, and expand its labor force, the City of Corona will continue to be the premier inland Southern California city to live, work, and play.
Financial Condition of the City
Nationwide, the economy has seen consumption growth increase from 1.7% to 2.4% over the last year.
Even with the fastest rate hike cycle in the last 40 years, the labor market has performed well, home building has picked up, home prices have rebounded, and industrial production has held up. The national unemployment rate was 3.6% at the end of Fiscal Year 2023 and increased to 3.8% in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2024. However, improving national economic performance does not directly translate to ix
City of Corona Letter of Transmittal
improved financial conditions for local governments, nor opportunities to fund more services. As an example, a rise in home prices does not directly correlate to the City collecting more in property taxes. With Proposition 13, property tax is capped at 1.0%, and the property’s taxable value cannot increase more than
2.0% per year. At the same time, the increase in fixed costs for operating city government has outpaced its revenue growth. In December 2016, CalPERS announced the reduction of the discount rate from 7.5% to
7.0% over three years, effective Fiscal Year 2019. Also, the CalPERS Board of Administration adopted a new amortization policy effective with the June 30, 2019 actuarial valuation. The new policy shortened the period over which actuarial gains and losses are amortized from 30 years to 20 years with the payments computed using a level dollar amount. In addition, the new policy removed the 5-year ramp-up and rampdown on the unfunded accrued liability (UAL) bases attributable to assumption changes and non-investment gains/losses. These changes have been applied to new UAL bases established on or after June 30, 2019. In July 2021, the discount rate was lowered further from 7% to 6.8%. The reduction of the discount rate is projected to lower the system’s funded status to approximately 80%, and it will result in higher normal cost rates and the Unfunded Accrued Liability balance as well.
The steep increase in non-discretionary costs places significant pressure on the City’s revenue-generating capabilities, amid other state policies that continue to shift responsibilities to cities, without the necessary funding, increasing costs to law enforcement and public safety, and making it more difficult to maintain the expected levels of essential services for our residents. Revenue must grow at the same rate, or faster, as expenses to create fiscal sustainability and maintain service levels the community demands.
Sales tax was previously the second-largest revenue source for the City. With the addition of Measure X, the 1% sales tax measure effective in July 2021, sales tax has moved to the largest General Fund revenue source. Taxable retail sales totaled $4.9 billion in Calendar Year 2022, an increase of 14.4% from the previous year. Consumer spending increased in Fiscal Year 2023, as the local economy was recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Much of this consumer spending is best seen in general consumer goods, automobile purchases, building construction-related industries, and Iood & Grugs. Increased automobile sales and a strong housing market are key indicators of improved consumer confidence. The diversification of the City’s sales tax base is enviable, with the building and construction sector, business and industry, and general consumer goods as the largest categories.

Note: Beginning FY 2022, includes Measure X, 1% sales tax measure effective July 2021 Historically, property tax was the largest General Fund revenue source for the City.

Escalating pension costs are presenting a serious threat to the City’s financial sustainability. The burden of funding current pension obligations, amid continued state takeaways and the state shifting responsibilities, without the necessary funding is taking priority over spending on essential services and adding significant demands for additional locally-controlled revenue.
xii
City of Corona Letter of Transmittal
The City has been consistently demonstrating strong fiscal stewardship by proactively responding to the impact of the broader state-wide pension situation that is often times described as grim. This proactive stewardship includes contributing additional funds toward the City’s unfunded pension liability with CalPERS. In October 2021, the City issued Pension Obligation Bonds (POB) which are estimated to save $166 million over the next 20 years. In addition, the City Council adopted a Pension Management Policy and established an irrevocable Section 115 Trust, also known as the Pension Stabilization Trust. There was an initial contribution of $30 million. In FY 2023, $2.1 million was added to the Trust. Future contributions will be reviewed and discussed on an annual basis.
The City continues to explore and fund new technology to improve overall operational efficiency. In addition to cutting costs, the City adopted new revenue streams by establishing City-wide community facilities districts for services. The City also established the guidelines and process for approving Cannabis businesses to operate within the City limits. The City started accepting applications in early 2021, and the first businesses became operational in Fiscal Year 2023. In November 2020, a majority of voters in Corona approved a 1% sales tax measure, Measure X, effective July 1, 2021. This additional revenue stream was originally estimated to generate $30 million in recurring funds. Measure X revenues for FY 2023 were $42.5 million, surpassing the initial estimates. The City maintains a healthy General Fund reserve level, following best practices established by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
This commitment to fiscal stewardship did not go unnoticed by the rating agencies. In September 2021, the recent credit review performed by Standard and Poor’s Financial Services (S&P), the City’s appropriation debt rating was raised from “AA-” to “AA”, and the City’s POB was rated at “AA+”, among the positive factors the City was acknowledged for were “very strong budgetary flexibility,” “very strong liquidity,” and “adequate budgetary performance.” S&P viewed the City’s management as “strong, with good financial policies and practices” under its Financial Management Assessment methodology. In August 2022, S&P raised the credit rating for the City’s Wastewater Revenue Bond from “AA” to “AA+”. In May 2023, the most recent credit review performed by S&P, Water Revenue Bond was affirmed at “AA” credit rating. In the current climate of instability at local and regional levels of government, we are exceptionally pleased about this recognition and proud to have attained this strong rating.
Financial Policies and Practices
The City has adopted various critical financial policies and practices with the goal of building a fiscally resilient government over the long term, and improving financial sustainability, all while increasing transparency and encouraging public engagement every step of the way.
Fund Balance Policy for the General Fund
The City established its reserves policy for the General Fund in June 2010. In June 2016, the City updated its Fund Balance Policy for the General Fund to increase the emergency contingency reserve balance to three months of regular General Fund operating expenses. The purpose of the revised policy is to protect our community against service disruption in the event of unexpected temporary revenue shortfalls or unpredicted one-time expenditures, as well as the enhanced creditworthiness of the City. As of June 30, 2023, the Emergency Contingency Reserve balance was $45.3 million. xiii
City of Corona Letter of Transmittal
Zero-Based Budgeting
The City launched zero-based budgeting in Fiscal Year 2017, following 23 years of the General Fund Expenditure Control Budget (ECB) model. Zero-based budgeting is an effective process that organizations use to review every dollar in the annual budget, continuously manage financial performance, measure return on investment, and build a culture of cost management among all departments. It is based on developing visibility into actual cost drivers and using that data visualization to set budget targets that use predictive analytics to generate successful outcomes to the bottom line. The annual budgeting process starts from zero and is very detailed, structured, and interactive to facilitate meaningful financial discussion among all departments and establish priorities with all stakeholders within the community as presented by the City Council. Our goal is to achieve significant and sustainable savings, while delivering productivity and service level improvements through actionable data generation at all levels within the budget.
Implementation of this budget practice has helped leadership evaluate and balance the competing demands for enhanced services/facilities versus the increased costs of operating, building and maintaining those additional services and/or facilities.
This practice has allowed us to effectively analyze and identify budget variances during the budget process in a way that helps us more effectively program and leverage actual budget dollars. To drill down to an even more precise zero-based budget, we have continued to include an employee position vacancy factor to account for savings caused by the actual time necessary for current hiring processes and onboarding. The factor is based on a five-year look-back period for departments and classifications (safety and non-safety personnel). We will continue to identify, monitor, and adjust variance factors in future budgets.
Debt Policy and Procedures
Following the best practice guidelines for debt management published by the GFOA, the City develops and maintains a formal Debt Policy and Procedures to ensure that debt is issued and managed prudently. The purpose of this policy is to standardize the parameters for debt issuance and management, improve the quality of decisions, provide guidance for the structure of debt issuance to ensure the most prudent, equitable, and cost-effective method of financing is chosen, and demonstrate a commitment to long-term capital and financial planning. The current policy was approved by the City Council in June 2023 and is reviewed on an annual basis.
Investment Policy
The City’s Investment Policy outlines the guidelines and practices to be used in effectively managing the City’s available cash and investment portfolio. All available funds are to be invested in compliance with the California Government Code and other governing provisions of law. The policy lists in detail the authorized investments, as well as the percentage of portfolio limitations and the required rating for each investment type. The Investment Policy is reviewed, updated and adopted annually.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Corona for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. This was the 33rd consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of xiv
City of Corona Letter of Transmittal
governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current ACFR continues to meet the award program requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of the ACFR on a timely basis was made possible by the efficient and dedicated service of the staff in Finance. Staff members have our sincere appreciation for their contributions to this report. We also acknowledge the assistance of The Pun Group, LLP, in completing the ACFR.
We thank the Mayor, City Council, and the City’s executive management team for their strong leadership and support of the financial operations of the City and for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in managing the City’s finances for the best interest of the citizens of Corona.
Respectfully submitted,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Corona, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”), and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens
of the City of Corona
Corona, California
2 Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Budgetary Comparison Schedules, the Modified Approach for City Streets Infrastructure Capital Assets, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedule of City’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedules of Contributions – Pensions, the Schedules of Changes in Net Other Postemployment Benefits Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedules of Contributions – Other Postemployment Benefits be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the Required Supplementary Information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023
The City of Corona’s Finance team has prepared this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, to assist users of this report to gain a better understanding of the City’s financial health and history. The information presented here should be considered in conjunction with additional information furnished in the letter of transmittal and the accompanying basic financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The City of Corona’s financial statements prepared for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 comply with all applicable statements issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA), was implemented by the City during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. This Statement requires a government to disclose descriptive information about its SBITAs other than short-term SBITAs, such as the amount of the subscription asset, accumulated amortization, other payments not included in the measurement of a subscription liability, principal and interest requirements for the subscription liability, and other essential information. GASB 96 will improve financial reporting by establishing a definition for SBITAs and providing uniform guidance for accounting and financial reporting for transactions that meet that definition. The required disclosures will allow users to understand the scale and important aspects of the City’s SBITA activities and evaluate the City’s obligations and assets resulting from SBITAs. The definition and uniform guidance will result in greater consistency. Establishing the capitalization criteria for implementation costs also will reduce diversity and improve comparability in financial reporting by governments; and enhance the relevance and reliability of the City’s financial statements.
Government-Wide
The City’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at June 30, 2023 by $1,363.4 million (net position). The overall City’s net position increased by $86.4 million from the previous fiscal year, primarily due to revenues exceeding expenses. Total assets increased by $141.6 million, total liabilities decreased by $90.5 million, combined with a decrease in deferred outflows in the amount of $188.8 million, and a decrease in deferred inflows in the amount of $43.3 million, primarily due to Pension and Other Post Employment Benefits related items, net position of the City saw an increase of 6.8% from the prior year.
Total expenses for governmental activities were $230.0 million for Fiscal Year 2023. The sources for these expenses came from program revenues of $93.2 million, taxes in the amount of $175.6 million, and other general revenue of $18.9 million. For the current year, revenues from governmental activities exceeded expenses by $57.7 million, net position for governmental activities increased to $1,034.6 million.
City of Corona
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
6 For business-type activities, total revenues exceeded expenses by $28.7 million. Among the total program revenue of $141.4 million, $134.2 million was from charges for services, $3 million from operating contributions and grants, and the remaining $4.2 million represents capital contributions and grants. Net position for business-type activities increased to $328.8 million.
Fund Based
The City’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $480.0 million, an increase of $53.7 million from the previous year. The net increase was primarily due to the current year’s revenue exceeding expenditure. Among the total fund balance, $335.3 million, or 69.9% is either nonspendable or restricted for specific purposes. In addition, $52.9 million was committed by the City Council, including $45.3 million as an emergency contingency, and $7.6 million as designated revenues. There was $77.8 million assigned to specific City programs and projects. Please refer to Note 15 for additional information on the classification of fund balances for governmental funds.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to give users a broad overview of the City’s finances, similar to a private-sector business. They present the financial picture of the City from the economic resources measurement focus using the accrual basis of accounting.
There are two statements in the government-wide financial statements, the statement of net position, and the statement of activities. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources. The net difference between the total of assets and deferred outflows and the total of liabilities and deferred inflows is reported as net position. Increases or decreases in net position over time may serve as a useful indicator of whether the City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating. Other factors to consider are changes in the City’s property tax base and the condition of the City’s infrastructure assets. The statement of activities shows how the City’s net position changed during the fiscal year.
Both government-wide financial statements distinguish between functions that are primarily supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, and functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges. The first function is identified in the statements as governmental activities, while the latter is reported as business-type activities.
Most of the City’s basic services are reported in the governmental activities category, including the General Government, Fire, Police, Public Works and Maintenance Services, Community Services, Planning and Development, and Economic Development. Property and sales taxes, franchise fees, transient occupancy tax, business tax, investment income, and state and federal grants finance these activities. The City operates its Water and Sewer utilities through its component unit, the Corona Utility Authority. These activities are reported in the business-type activities category along with Electric, Transit and Airport services.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on the pages immediately following this discussion in the Basic Financial Statements section.

7 Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a set of related accounts that is used to control resources that have been segregated to carry on specific activities or to attain certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. The City, like the state and other local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All City funds are divided into one of three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, or fiduciary funds.
The governmental fund financial statements are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. The proprietary and fiduciary activities are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds – not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law and by bond covenants. However, management establishes many other funds to help manage and report money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and other money.
Governmental funds
Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic services it provides.
Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. The differences in results in the governmental fund financial statements to those in the government-wide financial statements are explained in a reconciliation schedule following each governmental fund financial statement. The governmental fund financial statements can be found in the Basic Financial Statements section of this report.
Proprietary funds
When the City charges customers for the services it provides – whether to outside customers or to other units of the City – these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the statement of net position and the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in fund net position. The City’s enterprise funds are the same as the business-type activities reported in the government-wide statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows. The City uses internal service funds (the other component of proprietary funds) to report activities that provide supplies and services for the City’s other programs and activities – such as the City’s self-insurance, information technology, and fleet operations funds. The internal service funds are reported with governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The proprietary fund financial statements can be found in the Basic Financial Statements section of this report.
Fiduciary funds
The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for certain funds held to account for activities reported in this category which includes the Successor Agency, the AB109 PACT Fund, and the special taxes and assessments districts. The AB109 PACT fund is closed in fiscal year 2023 since the City has fulfilled its duties specified in the agreements. The City’s fiduciary activities are reported in separate statements of fiduciary net position, and statement of changes in fiduciary net position (trust fund and custodial funds).

8 Notes to Basic Financial Statements
Notes to basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to fully understand the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. They are presented immediately following the Basic Financial Statements section of this report.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information on the City’s budget process and the General Fund and major special revenue fund budgetary comparison schedules, the modified approach for the City’s Street infrastructure assets, the City’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits to its employees, and the City’s obligation for post-employment benefits.
Combining and individual statements for non-major governmental and proprietary funds, internal service funds, and custodial funds are presented in the Supplementary Information section of this report.
GOVERNMENT- WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The government-wide financial analysis focuses on the City’s net position and changes in the net position of the governmental and business-type activities during the fiscal year.
As noted earlier, the City’s net position increased by $86.4 million from the previous year. The increase in financial position was primarily due to positive operating results where revenues exceeded expenses.
Among the total net position, $1,177.5 million was invested in capital assets, net of related debt. These capital assets are essential for City operations, which include land, buildings, machinery and equipment, water and sewer rights, and infrastructure. Net position invested in capital assets is not available for spending. Although the City’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be liquidated to pay for the liabilities.
The remaining $185.9 million of the total government-wide net position is composed of $157.3 million restricted funds and $28.6 million unrestricted. Net position may be restricted for capital projects, debt payments, and/or special programs such as transportation and special assessment district improvements.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
13 General government support services (administration, legal, human resources, and financial) are primarily funded by charges to the direct operating functions they support through a cost allocation program. The public safety function (police and fire) generates program revenues as well, but property taxes, sales tax, and other general revenues fund a majority of the cost. The public works and maintenance services program is responsible for the maintenance and construction of the transportation system, with funding provided by the gas tax, Measure A, various federal, state, and local grants, special assessments, as well as other general revenues. The funding source for community services is primarily general revenues and some program fees.
Planning and Development and Economic Development functions are funded by development-related revenues as well as general revenues such as taxes, fees, and investment income.
The cost of all governmental activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 was $230.0 million. As shown in the statement of activities, the amount the taxpayers ultimately funded for these activities was $175.6 million, $18.9 million was funded by investment earnings and other income, and the remaining $93.2 million was paid by various program revenues, including $35.4 million by those who directly benefited from the programs, $35.0 million from other governments and organizations that subsidized certain programs with operating grants and contributions, and $22.8 million from capital contributions and grants.

14 Highlights of the major revenue sources and expenses are listed below:
Program revenues represent 39.0% of total revenues generated by governmental activities. Total program revenues for governmental activities in the current year were $93.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million from the previous year, primarily due to a decrease of $2.5 million in operating contributions and grants, and a increase of $2.9 million in capital contributions and grants, partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million in charges for services compared to the prior year. Total tax revenues were $175.6 million for the current year, showing an increase of $17.7 million from the previous year. Taxes comprised 61.0% of the total revenues from governmental activities, Sales and use tax revenue represents 57.6% of total taxes, whereas property tax revenue ranked second sharing 34.8% of total tax revenue. The remaining 7.6% were comprised of franchise fee, business license tax, transient occupancy tax, and dwelling development fee. Property tax revenues increased by $5.7 million compared to the prior year. Sales and use tax revenues increased by $11.2 million in comparison to the prior year, driven by the continuing recovery of the economy from the impact of COVID-19 and Measure X enacted in 2021. Overall governmental expenses increased by $51.2 million from the prior year, primarily due to a GASB 68 pension expense entry of $43.6 million, and an increase of $9.9 million spending in capital projects.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
19 Overall General Fund revenues increased by $28.1 million or 14.7%, compared to the previous year. Sales and use tax are the largest revenue source of the General Fund and increased by 12.5% in the current year.
Property taxes is the second largest revenue source of the General Fund and increased by 10.1%. As shown in the General Fund Revenues graph, fiscal year 2023 saw increases in most of the revenue sources. License, fees, and permits revenue increased by 16.0%, current service charges increased by 9.3%, and other tax revenues increased by 1.5%.
General Fund expenditures were $177.1 million, a decrease of $213.7 million compared to the previous year. The previous year’s expenditure is higher due to the issuance of the pension obligation bond to pay the unfunded accrued pension liabilities to CALPERS in the amount of $223.9 million.
Other Major Governmental Funds
The Development Special Revenue Fund reported a fund balance of $17.7 million, an increase of $0.3 million from the prior year. Primarily due to revenues exceeding expenditures in the current year.
The Low/Mod Income Housing Asset Capital Project Fund reported a fund balance of $38.4 million, an increase of $0.8 million from the previous year. The fund balance includes $19.1 million in cash and investments, $1.8 million in accounts receivables, $2.0 million in land held for resale, $7.0 million loan receivables, and long-term receivables in the amount of $8.3 million from various developers.
CAPITAL ASSETS
The capital assets of the City are those assets that are used in the performance of the City’s functions including infrastructure assets. At June 30, 2023, net capital assets totaled $837.2 million for governmental activities, and $423.6 million for business-type activities respectively. Depreciation on capital assets is recognized in government-wide financial statements. Please refer to Note 9 of the accompanying financial statements for additional information.
The City has elected to use the “modified approach” as defined by GASB Statement No. 34 for infrastructure reporting for its street pavement system. Under GASB Statement No. 34, eligible infrastructure capital assets are not required to be depreciated under the following requirements:
The City manages the eligible infrastructure capital assets using an asset management system with characteristics of (1) an up-to-date inventory; (2) condition assessments and summary of the results using a measurement scale; and (3) estimation of the annual amount to maintain and preserve at the established condition assessment level.
The City documents that the eligible infrastructure capital assets are being preserved approximately at or above the established and disclosed condition assessment level.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
20 The City policy is to achieve an average rating of 71, or “Good” condition for all streets. The average rating for the City’s streets at June 30, 2023, was 72, one point higher than the previous assessment result. The City is continuously taking action to prevent deterioration through an ongoing street rehabilitation program funded by the Capital Improvement Program. The program is formulated based on deficiencies identified as part of the City’s Pavement Management System (PMS). It includes short-term maintenance activities such as pothole patching, street sweeping, and crack sealing. The City spent $31.1 million on street maintenance during the current fiscal year. These expenditures delayed deterioration and maintained the street condition from the previous assessment. The City has estimated that the amount of annual expenditures required to maintain the current average PCI rating of 71 through the year 2024 is a minimum of $6.0 million. Please refer to the Required Supplementary Information section of the accompanying financial statement for additional information on the City’s Pavement Management Program.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
General Fund appropriations and transfers out were originally adopted at $182.5 million for Fiscal Year 2023. Final appropriations were increased by $29.4 million to $211.9 million. Among the budgetary increase, $19.2 million was due to continuing appropriations from the prior year’s capital projects and grant funded activities and $5.5 million was for prior year committed purchases (encumbrances).
There was $4.7 million in supplemental funding and transfers approved by the City Council subsequent to the budget adoption due to the following reasons: (1) The personnel budget decreased by $1.6 million in Fiscal Year 2023. The budget was decreased by $2.0 million due to transfers from personnel to the operating budget. In addition, $0.3 million was added due to grant funding and other position adjustments approved throughout the fiscal year. (2) The operating budget increased by a total of $6.8 million. The primary increase is in the Homeless Programs Division within the City Manager’s Office. The General Fund Homeless Programs expense budget was increased by $1.8 million for the State Encampment Funding Grant and multiple professional services agreements approved by the City Council. The General Government budget increased by $1.5 million due to a transfer from personnel to the operating budget. The Fire Department budget was increased by $0.8 million for multiple grants approved by the City Council and the purchase of a Live Fire Training Simulator. The Community Services Department budget was increased by $0.7 million for additional Graffiti Removal Services, Performance Center Feasibility Study, Rent Stabilization Program Services, and new theater equipment for the Historic Civic Center Theatre. The Planning and Development Department budget was increased by $1.0 million for additional contract labor services and reimbursing the Inspection Division budget for deposits collected through fees. The increase was partially offset by a transfer of $250,000 from the personnel budget. (3) The capital outlay budget was decreased by a net total of $0.6 million. There were budgetary reductions for various projects that were completed or no longer needed.

63 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of Corona, California, (the “City”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the significant policies:
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City of Corona was incorporated in 1896 under the general laws of the State of California. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government. Five Corona citizens make up the Corona City Council and each is elected to a four-year term of office. The Mayor is appointed annually by and from the City Council. The City provides full services to its citizens, including: public safety (police and fire), streets, electric, public library, recreation, parks and other public facilities, planning and zoning, public transportation (Dial-A-Ride and Corona Cruiser programs), housing and economic development programs. Water and sewer services are provided through the legally separate Corona Utility Authority, which functions as a department of the City of Corona.
The financial statements include the financial activities of the City of Corona, the primary government, and its component units, which are the Corona Public Financing Authority (the “CPFA”), the Corona Utility Authority (the “Authority”), and the Corona Housing Authority (the “CHA”). Financial information for the City and these component units are accounted for in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with principles defining the governmental reporting entity adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The City Council members, in separate session, serve as the governing board of the CPFA, the Authority, and the CHA, as such, these entities are presented on a blended basis.
Blended Component Unit
Management determined that the following component unit should be blended based on the criteria above:
Although the following is legally separate from the City, it has been “blended” as though it is part of the City because the component unit’s governing body is substantially the same as the City’s and there is a financial benefit or burden relationship between the City and the component unit; management of the City has operational responsibilities for the component unit; and/or the component unit provides services entirely, or almost entirely, to the City or otherwise exclusively, or almost exclusively, benefits the City, even though it does not provide services directly to it.
The Corona Public Financing Authority (the “CPFA”) is a joint powers authority organized under Section 6500 et seq. of the California Government Code on June 21, 1989, between the City and the former Corona Redevelopment Agency (the “Agency”) for the purpose of acting as a vehicle for various financing activities of the City and the Agency. Upon dissolution of the former Corona Redevelopment Agency, the Authority becomes a public body duly organized and existing under the Amended and Restated Join Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated February 6, 2013, by and among the City, the Corona Housing Authority and the Successor Agency to the Corona Redevelopment Agency, and under the Constitution and laws of the State. The Authority was formed for the purpose of assisting the City in the financing and refinancing of public capital improvements by exercising the powers referred to in the JPA Agreement, including the power to issue bonds to pay the costs pf public improvements. The CPFA's Board of Directors is the Corona City Council. The funds of the CPFA have been included in the governmental activities in the financial statements. Funds related to debt issued for proprietary activities are included in the business-type activities. Separate financial statements are not prepared.

64 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) A. Financial Reporting Entity (Continued)
The Corona Utility Authority (the “CUA”) is a joint powers authority which was established on February 6, 2002 pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the City and the Agency in accordance with the Joint Powers Law (Articles 1 through 4 of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the California Government Code) for the purpose of assisting the City in the leasing of the water and sewer utility systems.
The Authority's Officers are the Corona City Council and the City's executive management. The funds of the Authority have been included in the business-type activities in the financial statements. Separate financial statements are not prepared.
The Corona Housing Authority (the “CHA”) was established on February 16, 2011, pursuant to the California Housing Authority Law codified under State of California Health and Safety Code, Section 34200 et seq. The City Council became the commissioners of governing board of the CHA. The CHA was formed for purposes of providing sanitary and safe housing for people of very low, low or moderate income within the City's territorial jurisdiction. This is achieved by building, acquiring, managing and maintaining residential rental units and providing financial assistance for rentals or ownership in the private real estate market. City staff provides management assistance to the CHA. Upon the dissolution of the former Corona Redevelopment Agency pursuant to Assembly Bill X1 26, the CHA elected to become the successor agency to the former Corona Redevelopment Agency's housing functions (the “Housing Successor”). Pursuant to Senate Bill 341, the CHA oversees the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset fund. The funds of the CHA have been included in the governmental activities in the financial statements. Separate financial statements are not prepared.
The City had no discretely presented component units.
B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. City resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide Financial Statements are presented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City’s assets and liabilities, including capital assets, as well as infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. On an accrual basis, revenue from sales taxes is recognized in the period in which the taxable sale takes place. Revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. Fiduciary activities are not included in these statements.

Certain types of transactions are reported as program revenues for the City in three categories:
Charges for services
Operating grants and contributions
Capital grants and contributions
Certain eliminations have been made in regards to interfund activities, payables and receivables. All internal balances in the Statement of Net Position have been eliminated except those representing balances between the governmental activities and the business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the total primary government column. In the Statement of Activities, internal service fund transactions have been eliminated; however, those transactions between governmental and business-type activities have not been eliminated. The following interfund activities have been eliminated:
Due from and to other funds
Advances to and from other funds
Transfers in and out
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
A Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances are presented for all major governmental funds and aggregated nonmajor funds. Accompanying schedules are presented to reconcile and explain the differences in fund balances as presented in these statements, to the net position presented in the government-wide financial statements. The City has presented all major funds that met the applicable criteria.
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or “current financial resources” measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Change in Fund Balances presents increases (revenue and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both “measurable” and “available” to finance expenditures of the current period.
Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except those revenues subject to accrual (generally 60 days after year-end) are recognized when due, However, the City has adopted a 12-month recognition period for sales tax and grant revenues. Also, the City accrued AQMD funds received after the 60-day accrual period. The primary revenue sources, which have been treated as susceptible to accrual by the City, are property taxes, sales taxes, federal and state grants. Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Low Mod Income Housing Asset (Housing Successor) Capital Projects Fund accounts for the transactions related to low- and moderate-income housing activities pursuant to SB 341 and as prescribed in the Housing Element of the City's General Plan.

The Other Grants Capital Projects Funds account for receipts and expenditures of funding received from various governmental grants for capital projects.
The Development Special Revenue Funds are used to account for Quimby and various development impact fees (DIF) received. The use of DIF funds is governed by Section 66006 of the Government Code. The Other Grants and Endowments Special Revenue Funds account for receipts and expenditures of money received from various governmental grants and library grants.
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Water, Sewer, Electric, Transit, and Airport funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the proprietary funds include the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
A separate column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, internal service balances and activities have been combined with the governmental activities and business-type activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The City’s internal service funds include five individual funds which provide services directly to other City funds. These areas of service include fleet operations, workers’ compensation, liability risk, warehouse, and information technology. These funds provide service to other City departments on a cost reimbursement basis.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Water Enterprise Fund - accounts for the operation and maintenance of the City's water utility, a selfsupporting activity which provides services on a user charge basis to residents and businesses located in the City.
Sewer Enterprise Fund - accounts for the operation and maintenance of the City's sewer utility, a selfsupporting activity which provides services on a user charge basis to residents and businesses located in the City.
Electric Enterprise Fund - account for the operation of the City's electric utility distribution system, a selfsupporting activity which renders services on a user charge basis to businesses as well as residents located in the City.

Both the Water and the Sewer utilities are owned by the Authority. The Authority operates both the Water and Sewer systems pursuant to separate management agreements with the City.
A separate column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, internal service balances and activities have been combined with the governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The City has Fleet Operation, Workers’ Compensation, Liability Risk, Warehouse, Information Technology Internal Service Funds that provide services directly to other City funds.
Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary fund financial statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The City’s fiduciary funds represent custodial funds and private purpose trust funds. Both custodial funds and the private purpose trust funds are accounted for on the full accrual basis of accounting where the assets associated with the activity are controlled by the City and the assets are not derived 1) solely from the government’s own-source revenues or 2) from government-mandated nonexchange transactions or voluntary nonexchange transactions.
The City reports the following two types of fiduciary funds:
Private-Purpose Trust Fund - The Successor Agency Trust for the former Corona Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency) was established on February 1, 2012 in accordance to the Assembly Bill X1 26 that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. The establishment of the Successor Agency was approved by the City Council on January 11, 2012 through City Resolution No. 2012- 004. Effective February 1, 2012, successor agencies in California will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated. The activities of the Successor Agency are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City.
Custodial Funds - To account for assets for the benefit of organizations or other governments that are not part of the City. In addition, the assets are not derived from the City’s provision of goods or services to those individuals, organizations, or other governments. Two funds are reported under the custodial fund type, the AD/CFD Fund and the AB109 PACT Fund. The AD/CFD Fund was established to account for receipt of special taxes and assessments used to pay principal and interest on related bonds that are not direct City liabilities, as well as receipt and disbursement of capital project bond proceeds related to bonds that are not direct obligations of the City. The AB109 PACT Fund was created on December 16, 2015 to account for activities of the Riverside County Post-Release Accountability and Compliance Team (PACT). The City of Corona is one of the seven member agencies of PACT, and serves as the trustee for PACT. Funding for PACT comes from the State of California in accordance with AB 109, Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011. At June 30, 2023, the AB109 PACT Fund was fully disbursed and closed.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
68 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) C. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The City pools cash resources of its various funds, including the Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund to facilitate cash management. Cash in excess of current requirements is invested and reported as investments. It is the City's intent to hold investments until maturity. However, the City may, in response to market conditions, sell investments prior to maturity in order to improve the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio. Interest earnings are apportioned among funds each month based on ending cash and investment balances of each fund.
All cash and investments of proprietary funds are held in the City's investment pool as well. These cash pools have the general characteristics of a demand deposit account, therefore, all cash and investments in the proprietary funds are considered cash and cash equivalents for Statement of Cash Flows purposes.
Highly liquid market investments with maturities of one year or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. 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. In determining the amount, the City uses the market approach, one of the three acceptable valuation techniques. Market approach uses prices generated for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
The City participates in the Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”), an investment pool managed by the State of California. LAIF has invested a portion of the pool funds in structured notes and asset-backed securities. LAIF's investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing these investments. In addition, these structured notes and asset-backed securities are subject to market risk as a result of changes in interest rates. All investments in LAIF were reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
D. Cash and Investments with Fiscal Agents
Cash and investments with fiscal agents are restricted for the redemption of bonded debt and for acquisition and construction of capital projects.
E. Fair Value Measurement
U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes disclosure about fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specified at fair value in the financial statements, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Levels of inputs are as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

69 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) F. Interfund Transactions
Outstanding short-term borrowing between funds are reported to as “due from/to other funds”. Interfund loans are reported as advances to and from other funds and are eliminated upon consolidation. Advances to other funds are presented as nonspendable in General Fund’s fund balance to indicate that they are not in a spendable form. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances." Interfund services provided are treated as revenues and expenses. Administrative overhead charges included with centralized expenses charged by the General Fund are included in the direct expenses of enterprise activities.
Reimbursements occur when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental or between proprietary funds are eliminated as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide financial statements.
G. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories within the various fund types consist of materials and supplies which are valued at cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Reported expenditures reflect the consumption method of recognizing inventory-related expenditures.
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 by using purchase method.
A nonspendable fund balance has been reported in the governmental funds to show that inventories and prepaid items do not constitute “available spendable resources,” even though they are a component of current assets.
H. Lease Receivables
The City is a lessor for leases of land and recognizes lease receivables and deferred inflows of resources in the financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the lease receivable.
At the commencement of a lease, the lease receivable is measured at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. The City established a threshold of $200,000 for lease receivables. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflows of resources are initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflows of resources are recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term in a systematic and rational method.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts. The City uses incremental borrowing rate (IBR) provided by the financial institution at July 1, 2021 for existing leases or the current rate at the time a new lease is executed. The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease plus any option periods that are likely to be exercised.
Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.

70 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) H. Lease Receivables (Continued)
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.
I. Capital Assets
In the Government-Wide Financial Statements, capital assets are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are valued at their acquisition value. City policy has set the capitalization threshold for reporting capital assets at $25,000 for non-infrastructure items and $100,000 for infrastructure and intangible right-to-use assets.
The City defines infrastructure assets as the basic physical assets that allow the City to function. The assets include the street system, water purification and distribution system, sewer collection and treatment system, park and recreation lands and improvement system, storm water conveyance system, and buildings combined with the site amenities such as parking and landscaped areas used by the City in the conduct of its business.
Each major infrastructure system can be divided into subsystems. For example, the street system can be subdivided into pavement, curb and gutters, sidewalks, medians, streetlights, landscaping and land. These subsystems were not delineated in the basic financial statements. The appropriate operating department maintains information regarding the subsystems.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Capital assets acquired under finance purchase are capitalized at the net present value of the total finance payments.
The City elected to use the "modified approach" as defined by GASB Statement No. 34 for infrastructure reporting of its streets, concrete and asphalt pavements. The City commissioned the most recent physical assessment of its street pavement condition in October 2017. The Citywide condition assessments are performed every three years, with each year focusing on specific regions of the City. Each homogeneous segment of City owned street was assigned a physical condition based on 17 potential defects. A Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was assigned to each street segment. The index is expressed in a continuous scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is assigned to the least acceptable physical condition and 100 is assigned to segments of street that have the physical characteristics of a new street. The City's policy relative to maintaining the street assets is to achieve an average rating of 71 for all street segments. This acceptable rating allows minor cracking and raveling of the pavement along with minor roughness that could be noticeable to drivers traveling at the posted speeds. Please refer to the Required Supplementary Information section of this report for additional information on the modified approach.
For all other infrastructure systems, the City elected to use the "basic approach" as defined by GASB Statement No. 34 for infrastructure reporting. The City commissioned an appraisal of City owned infrastructure and property as of June 30, 1999 and has completed an internal update for June 30, 2019. This appraisal determined the original cost, which is defined as the actual cost to acquire new property in accordance with market prices at the time of first construction/acquisition. Original costs were developed in one of three ways: 1) historical records; 2) standard unit costs appropriate for the construction/acquisition date; or 3) present cost indexed by a reciprocal factor of the price increase from the construction/acquisition date to the current date. The accumulated depreciation, defined as the total depreciation from the date of construction/acquisition to the current date on a straight line, unrecovered cost method was computed using industry accepted life expectancies for each infrastructure subsystem. The book value was then computed by deducting the accumulated depreciation from the original cost.

71 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) I. Capital Assets (Continued)
The intangible right‐to‐use asset includes lease assets or subscription-based information technology arrangements (“SBITA”) assets (“subscription asset”). These intangible assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities or SBITA liabilities (“subscription liabilities”) and adjusted by any lease made to the lessor or subscription payments to the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the lease or subscription term, less any incentives received from the lessor or SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the lease or subscription term along with any initial direct costs that are ancillary charges necessary to place the lease assets into service or subscription implementation costs. Lease assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, unless the lease contains a purchase option that the City has determined is reasonably certain of being exercised. In this case, the lease asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset. Subscription assets are amortized over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT assets.
Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
The lives used for depreciation purposes are as follows:
Assets Years
Buildings and improvements 20-50
Computer Software 5
Equipment 3-20
Improvements 20
Infrastructure 25-65
J. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
The statement of net position reports separate sections for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, when applicable.
Deferred Outflows of Resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods.
Deferred Inflows of Resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods.
K. Unearned and Unavailable Revenue
Unearned revenue is reported for transactions for which revenue has not yet been earned. Typical transactions recorded as unearned revenues in the government-wide financial statements are grant revenues received in advance.
In the governmental fund financial statements, unavailable revenue is reported when transactions have not yet met the revenue recognition criteria based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The City reports unavailable revenue when an asset is reported in governmental fund financial statements but the revenue is not available.
L. Compensated Absences
Under certain circumstances and according to the negotiated labor agreements, employees of the City are allowed to accumulate annual leave. This amount is accrued in the government-wide and proprietary fund statements. These amounts for annual leave are expected to be paid in future years from future resources.

72 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) M. Claims Payable
Claims payable in the Internal Service Fund represents estimates of claims against the City. The estimated claims payable represents the City’s best estimate of the amount to be paid on workers’ compensation and general liability claims. Losses for claims incurred but not reported are also recorded if the probable amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The City is self-insured for general liability and workers’ compensation in the amounts of $500,000 and $1,000,000 per claim, respectively. Excess coverage is provided by Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (“PRISM”).
N. Lease Liabilities
The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $100,000 or more with a lease term greater than one year in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance of the City or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the lease liability.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases liabilities include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments. The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure any lease asset or liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
O. Subscription Based Information Technology Arrangements Liabilities The City recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of $100,000 or more with a subscription term greater than one year in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance of the City, usage of the underlying IT assets, or number of user seats are not included in the measurement of the subscription liability.
At the commencement of a subscription, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of subscription payments made.

73 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) O. Subscription Based Information Technology Arrangements Liabilities (Continued) Key estimates and judgments related to subscription liabilities include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments.
The City uses the interest rate charged by the SBITA vendor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for subscription liabilities.
The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the SBITA. Subscription payments included in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its SBITA and will remeasure any subscription asset or liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability.
P. Long-Term Debt
In the Government-Wide Financial Statements and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate activities. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Debt issuance costs except for any portion related to prepaid insurance were recognized as expense in the period incurred. Premium or discount not considered as part of the reacquisition price was amortized over the life of the bond.
The governmental fund financial statements do not present long-term liabilities. Consequently, long-term debt is shown as a reconciling item in the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the GovernmentWide Statement of Net Position.
Q. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
General Fund, Low Mod Income Housing Asset Capital Projects Fund, Residential Refuse Special Revenue Fund, HUD Grants Capital Projects Fund, Planned Local Drainage Capital Projects Fund are typically used to liquidate pension liabilities for governmental funds.

CalPERS
Valuation Date June 30, 2021
Measurement Date June 30, 2022
Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022
Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.
R. Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”)
For the purpose 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 City’s OPEB Plan and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value, except for money market investments, which are reported at amortized cost.
General Fund is typically used to liquidate OPEB liabilities for governmental funds.
The following timeframes are reported OPEB reporting:
OPEB
Valuation Date June 30, 2021
Measurement Date June 30, 2022
Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022
Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense. The amortization period differs depending on the sources of gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) at the beginning of the measurement period.

Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties for up to 1% of assessed property value, plus other increases approved by the voters. Property taxes collected are pooled and then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas. Property taxes are assessed, collected and allocated by Riverside County throughout the fiscal year. The following are key dates pertaining to property taxes:
January 1
July 1 to June 30
November 1 and February 1
December 11 and April 11
Lien Date
Levy Date
Due Dates
Delinquent Dates
Property taxes receivable for the governmental fund types, which have been remitted within 60 days subsequent to year end, are considered measurable and available and recognized as revenues. All other property taxes are offset by deferred property tax inflows of resources and, accordingly, have not been recorded as revenue. Taxes are considered past due on the above delinquent dates, at which time the applicable property is subject to lien, and penalties and interest are assessed.
The County of Riverside collects an administration fee from the City and the former Redevelopment Agency for its services. The City receives a percentage of the basic 1% ad valorem tax rate allowed on property within the City of Corona. Property tax rates for the City's general obligation debt are set by the City Council based on assessed valuations and debt service requirements. The assessed valuation is at "full cash value".
T. Net Position and Fund Balances
In the Government-Wide Financial Statements and proprietary fund financial statements, net position is classified as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of retention payable and debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets, and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources, net of unspent debt proceeds.
Restricted – This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets.
Unrestricted – This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position.
In the Governmental Fund Financial Statements, fund balances are classified as follows:
Nonspendable – Nonspendable fund balances are items that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items and inventories, or items that are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, such as principal of an endowment or revolving loan funds.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

76 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) T. Net Position and Fund Balances (Continued)
Restricted – Restricted fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions. This includes externally imposed restrictions by creditors, such as through debt covenants, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, as well as restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed – Committed fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources, the use of which is constrained by limitations that the government imposes upon itself at its highest level of decision making, normally the governing body, and that remain binding unless removed in the same manner. The City Council is considered the highest authority for the City. Adoption of a resolution by the City Council is required to commit resources or to rescind the commitment.
General Fund Emergency Contingency – The City’s General Fund balance committed for emergency contingencies has been set by resolution and is for specific uses listed as the declaration of a state or federal state of emergency or a local emergency as defined in Corona Municipal Code Section 2.52.020.
A state of emergency is the existence of conditions of disasters which may result in property damage, death and/or injuries to the community. An emergency may also result from natural events that did not result in a request for state or federal assistance.
Designated Revenues – Designated Revenues are committed by minute action of the City Council.
Upon receipt of the revenues and at the request of the specific department, funds may be appropriated for departmental use with the recommendation of the Finance Director, or with approval of City Council, depending on the amount of request.
Assigned – Assigned fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources reflecting the government’s intended use of resources. Assignment of resources can be done by the highest level of decision making or by a committee or official designated for that purpose. The City Council has authorized by resolution the City Manager or the City Fiscal Officer for that purpose.
Unassigned – This amount is for any portion of the fund balances that do not fall into one of the above categories. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds, it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other than General Fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.
U. Spending Policy
Government-Wide Financial Statements and the Proprietary Fund Financial Statements When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, the City’s policy is to apply the restricted component of net position first, then the unrestricted component of net position as needed.

When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which all restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to apply in the following order, except for instances wherein an ordinance specifies the fund balance:
Restricted
Committed
Assigned
Unassigned
V. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the basic financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
W. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncement
In May 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (GASB Statement No. 96), to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by (a) establishing uniform accounting and financial reporting requirements for SBITAs; (b) improving the comparability of financial statements among governments that have entered into SBITAs; and (c) enhancing the understandability, reliability, relevance, and consistency of information about SBITAs. Under this Statement, a government is required to recognize a subscription liability and an intangible right-to-use subscription asset. The effective date of GASB Statement No. 96 is for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022. Implementation of this Statement resulted in restatement of beginning balance of capital assets (Note 9) from $805,581,115 to $806,998,147 and long-term debt liabilities (Note 11) from $285,526,544 to $286,943,576 at July 1, 2022 to report subscription assets and subscription liabilities in the amount of $1,417,032.
Note 2 – Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
Deficit Net Position
At June 30, 2023, Other Grants and Endowments Special Revenue Funds and Public Facility Project Capital Projects Funds had deficit fund balances of $939,763 and $3,640,583, respectively. The deficits will be eliminated when reimbursements are received in the future year. The Successor Agency Trust Fund had a deficit net position in the amount of $25,085,195 and will be eliminated with future redevelopment property trust fund revenue.
Note 3 – Cash and Investments
The City maintains a cash and investment pool, which includes cash balances and authorized investments of all funds.
Certain restricted funds which are held and invested by independent outside custodians through contractual agreements are not pooled. These restricted funds include cash and investments with fiscal agents.

Investments with fiscal agent 35,038,541
Total investments 565,231,169
Total cash and investments $ 566,958,134
A. Deposits
The carrying amounts of the City’s demand deposits were $1,303,182 at June 30, 2023. Bank balances at that date were $5,071,104, the total amount of which was collateralized or insured with accounts held by the pledging financial institutions in the City’s name as discussed below.
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City’s cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's name.
The fair value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California law also allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the City’s total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements for cash deposits, which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The City did not waive the collateral requirement for deposits insured by FDIC.
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required to be held by fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures. Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated on an accounting period basis to the various funds based on the period-end cash and investment balances.
Interest income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.

The City is a participant in LAIF which is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The City’s investments with LAIF at June 30, 2023, included a portion of the pool funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities:
Structured Notes: debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more indices and/or that have embedded forwards or options.
Asset-Backed Securities: generally, mortgage-backed securities that entitle their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (for example, Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) or credit card receivables.
As of June 30, 2023, the City had $46,247,015 invested in LAIF, which had invested 2.78% of the pool investment funds in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. The fair value of the City’s portion in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares and reported at amortized cost.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s investment policy states that the City operates its investment pool with many state and self-imposed constraints. It does not buy stocks and it does not speculate. Assets shall be diversified to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of assets in specific maturity, a specific issuer, or a specific class of securities.
The City will diversify its investment by security type, institution and maturity/call dates. The City’s investment policy states that no more than 50% of the City’s total investment portfolio shall be invested in a single security type or with a single financial institution. The only exception to these maturity limits shall be the investment in U.S. Treasury and authorized pools. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City shall not directly invest in securities maturing more than five years from the date of purchase.
At June 30, 2023, investment subject to portfolio restriction in any one issue that represent 5% or more of total City investments is as follows:
Issuers Investment Type Amount Percentage
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation US Government Sponsored Enterprise Securities 40,970,574 $ 8% Federal National Mortgage Association US Government Sponsored Enterprise Securities 29,335,377 6% City of Corona

Custodial Credit Risk
The Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of a third party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of the third party. At June 30, 2023, none of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk.
Note 4 – Investment in Joint Venture
In July 2012, the City entered into an agreement with the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (the “WRCRWA”) and became a voting member of the WRCRWA. The WRCRWA was formed in 1992 pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California relating to the joint exercise of powers common to public agencies, for the purpose of constructing, maintaining, operating, and managing facilities for the collection, transmission, treatment and disposal of wastewater, the reclamation of wastewater, and the use of reclaimed wastewater for any beneficial purpose.
WRCRWA is composed of five member agencies: City of Corona, Jurupa Community Services District, Western Municipal Water District, Home Gardens Sanitary District, and the City of Norco. The member agencies support the operating costs and capital costs through fixed and variable rates established by WRCRWA's Board of Directors. The governing body of WRCRWA is a Board of Directors, which consists of ten individuals, two appointed by each member.
WRCRWA owns and operates a 14 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) tertiary wastewater treatment plant. The plant capacity owned by its member agencies are shown as follows:

Pledged Revenue
Due to the dissolution of the former Corona Redevelopment Agency, the tax increment funds that were pledged to the bondholders were no longer received in full by the Agency. AB X1 26 restructured the former redevelopment agencies' revenue from tax increment to Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”). RPTTF funds are distributed semi-annually to the Successor Agency to pay enforceable obligations approved by the DOF on the Recognized Obligations Payment Schedule (“ROPS”). The total principal and interest remaining on the Successor Agency debt obligations were $40,825,741 with annual debt service requirements as listed above. For the current year, the total RPTTF funds available to the Successor Agency for the payment of these indebtedness was $9,183,265 and the debt service payments on the bonds was $7,204,595.
D. Non-City Obligations
Special Assessment District Bonds (Non-City Obligation) The payment of this bonds is secured by valid assessment liens upon certain lands in each district and is not a direct liability of the City. Reserves have been established from the bond proceeds to meet delinquencies should they occur. Neither the faith and credit nor taxing power of the City of Corona is pledged to the payment of the bonds.
If delinquencies occur beyond the amounts held in those reserves, the City has no duty to pay those delinquencies out of any other available funds. The City acts solely as an agent for those paying the assessments and the bondholders.

eligible compensation
Participants are eligible for non-industrial disability retirement if they become disabled and have at least 5 years credited service. There is no special age requirement. The standard non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent of final compensation, multiplied by service years.
Industrial disability benefits are not offered to miscellaneous employees. The City provides industrial disability retirement benefits to safety employees only. The industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 50 percent of final compensation.
An employee's beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee becomes deceased while actively employed. The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other pre-retirement death benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5 percent per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six month’s salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death. Upon the death of a retiree, a one-time lump sum payment of $500 will be made to the retiree’s designated survivor(s), or to the retiree’s estate.
Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each employee’s retirement allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis up to 2 percent.

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (“PERL”) 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. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. The required contribution rates are shown in the Benefit Provided Section on page 107.
B. Net Pension Liability
Actuarial Methods and Assumption Used to Determine Total Pension Liability The June 30, 2021 valuation was rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2022 total pension liability, based on following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Change of Assumptions
Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 basis points. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Assumed Asset
Asset Class(1) Allocation Real Return1,2
Global Equity - Cap-weighted 30.00% 4.54%
Global Equity - Non-Cap-weighted 12.00% 3.84%
Private Equity 13.00% 7.28%
Treasury 5.00% 0.27%
Mortgage-backed Securities 5.00% 0.50%
Investment Grade Corporates 10.00% 1.56%
High Yield 5.00% 2.27%
Emerging Market Debt 5.00% 2.48%
Private Debt 5.00% 3.57%
Real Assets 15.00% 3.21%
Leverage -5.00% -0.59%
100.00%
1 An expected inflation rate of 2.30% used for this period 2 Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Increase (Decrease)
The following is the approach established by the plan actuary to allocate the net pension liability and pension expense to the individual employers within the risk pool. (1) In determining a cost-sharing plan’s proportionate share, total amounts of liabilities and assets are first calculated for the risk pool as a whole on the valuation date (June 30, 2021). The risk pool’s fiduciary net position (“FNP”) subtracted from its total pension liability (“TPL”) determines the net pension liability (“NPL”) at the valuation date.
(2) Using standard actuarial roll forward methods, the risk pool TPL is then computed at the measurement date (June 30, 2022). Risk pool FNP at the measurement date is then subtracted from this number to compute the NPL for the risk pool at the measurement date. For purposes of FNP in this step and any later reference thereto, the risk pool’s FNP at the measurement date denotes the aggregate risk pool’s FNP at June 30, 2022 less the sum of all additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by all employers during the measurement period (2021-22).
(3) The individual plan’s TPL, FNP and NPL are also calculated at the valuation date. TPL is allocated based on the rate plan’s share of the actuarial accrued liability. FNP is allocated based on the rate plan’s share of fair value assets.
(4) Two ratios are created by dividing the plan’s individual TPL and FNP as of the valuation date from (3) by the amounts in step (1), the risk pool’s total TPL and FNP, respectively. (5) The plan’s TPL as of the measurement date is equal to the risk pool TPL generated in (2) multiplied by the TPL ratio generated in (4). The plan’s FNP as of the measurement date is equal to the FNP generated in (2) multiplied by the FNP ratio generated in (4) plus any additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by the employer on behalf of the plan during the measurement period. (6) The plan’s NPL at the measurement date is the difference between the TPL and FNP calculated in (5).
Deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and pension expense are allocated based on the City’s share of net pension liability at the end of measurement date.

The amounts above are net of outflows and inflows recognized in the 2021-2022 measurement period expense.
The expected average remaining service lifetime (“EARSL”) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired). The EARSL for the Miscellaneous Plan, Safety Police Plan and the Safety Fire Plan risk pool for the 2021-22 measurement period is 2.5, 4.1, and 3.7 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 4,623, 1,576 and 574,665 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 1,835, 384 and 153,587 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired), respectively.

Note 14 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”)
A. General Information about the OPEB Plan
Plan Description
The City's OPEB includes retiree medical and life insurance benefits, or, in some cases, an HRA contribution toward medical coverage of the retiree's choosing.
In October 2007, the City Council executed the City of Corona Retirement Benefits Plan, a single-employer plan, for funding the Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). In March 2008, the City Council passed a resolution authorizing the City to prefund its OPEB obligation through the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust Program (CERBT), an IRC Section 115 trust fund dedicated to prefunding OPEB for all eligible California public agencies. CERBT is administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) Board of Administration.
The City's funding policy affects the calculation of liabilities by impacting the discount rate that is used to develop the plan liability and expense. "Prefunding" is the term used when an agency consistently contributes an amount based on an actuarially determined contribution (ADC) each year. GASB 75 allows prefunded plans to use a discount rate that reflects the expected earnings on trust assets.
The City has been and continues to prefund its OPEB liability, contributing 100% or more of the Actuarially Determined Contributions each year. Therefore, with the City's approval, the discount rate used in this valuation is
6.05%, the long-term expected return on trust assets.

Note 14 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) A. General Information about the OPEB Plan (Continued)
Eligibility and Membership Covered by Benefit Terms
Medical coverage is currently provided through CalPERS as permitted under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). This coverage requires the employee to satisfy the requirements for retirement under CalPERS, which requires either (a) attainment of age 50 (age 52, if a miscellaneous member new to PERS on or after January 1, 2013) with 5 years of State or public agency service or (b) an approved disability retirement.
The employee must begin his or her retirement warrant within 120 days of terminating employment with the City to be eligible to continue medical coverage through the City and be entitled to the employer subsidy. If an eligible employee is not already enrolled in the medical plan, he or she may enroll within 60 days of retirement or during any future open enrollment period. Coverage may be continued at the retiree's option for his or her lifetime. A surviving spouse and other eligible dependents may also continue coverage.
At June 30, 2022 measurement date, the following numbers of participants were covered by the benefit terms:
Active plan members 640
Inactive plan members currently receiving benefits 609
Inactive plan members entitled to but not receiving benefits 136 Total 1,385
Contributions
The plan and its contribution requirements are established by Memorandum of Understanding with the applicable employee bargaining units and may be amended by agreements between the City and the bargaining units. The annual contribution is based on the actuarially determined contribution. For the measurement date ended June 30, 2022, the City's cash contributions were $10,744,736 in total payments, which were recognized as a reduction to the OPEB liability.

Note 14 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) B. Net OPEB Liability
The OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2022, and total liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021.
Significant Actuarial Assumptions Used for Total OPEB Liability The total OPEB liability, measured as of June 30, 2022, was determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions:
Asset Valuation Method
Long Term return on Assets
Discount Rate
Inflation
Salary Increases
Mortality Improvement

2.50%
Change in assumptions
In 2022, there were no changes in assumptions.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.05%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

The City collects and records revenue and expenditures within the following categories Business-type Activities
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
1 Before the beginning of the fiscal year the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed budget for the year commencing July 1. 2 Public meetings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. 3 The budget is subsequently adopted through the passage of a resolution and is not included herein but is published separately. 4 5 Continuing appropriations are re-budgeted by the City Council as part of the adoption of subsequent year's budget. 6 Legally adopted budget appropriations are set for the General Fund, Special Revenue, Debt service and Capital Projects funds.
The governmental funds include the General Fund, special revenue, debt service and capital projects funds. All funding sources are kept separate for both reporting and use of the money. The General Fund funds most of the City services including public safety, recreation, and community development. In Fiscal Year 2023, the City was in the seventh year of a ‘zero-based’ budget procedure, which is a rigorous, structured approach in evaluating each dollar that is appropriated to fund critical City services and programs. Prior to that change, the City utilized an ‘expenditure control budget’ (ECB) procedure for 23 years, as outlined in previously adopted budget resolutions. The ‘zero-based’ budget approach is more responsive to service needs which may expand and contract over time.
The budget process begins as a team effort in November of each year. The Finance Department works in cooperation with all City departments to formulate revenue projections for the upcoming fiscal year. From this, the individual departments use the projected revenues to prioritize and recommend the next fiscal year’s objectives. The City Manager’s Office and the Finance Department jointly review each budget proposal, revenue assumptions, and all current financial obligations, before preparing the proposed document for the City Council. The City Council reviews the budget at multiple budget workshops, with the final adoption scheduled in June.
All appropriations are as originally adopted or as amended by the City Council and all unencumbered budgeted amounts lapse at year-end.
However, grants may carry forward (continuing appropriation) to the next fiscal year as determined by the grant funding time period.

Notes to the Budgetary Comparison Schedule
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
Through the budget process, the City Council sets the direction of the City, allocates its resources and establishes its priorities. The annual budget establishes the foundation of effective financial management by providing resource planning, performance measures and controls that permit the evaluation and adjustment of the City's performance in all of its functional areas. It assures the efficient and effective uses of the City's economic resources, as well as ensuring the highest priorities are accomplished for the fiscal year. It also serves as a vehicle that accurately and openly communicates these priorities to the community, businesses, vendors, employees and other public agencies.
The City’s budget cycle is on an annual basis, which serves a fiscal period from July 1 to June 30. The City’s budgets are developed consistent with generally accepted principles and procedures. There are no significant non-budgeted financial activities. For governmental funds, revenues are budgeted by entitlements, grants, and estimates of future development and economic growth. Expenditures and transfers are budgeted based upon available financial resources.
Budgetary Information
The City of Corona’s budget is prepared and based on five expense categories; personnel, non-personnel (such as supplies and services), capital outlay, debt service and capital improvement projects. The first two listed are considered operational in nature and are known as recurring costs.
Capital outlays refer to minor equipment purchases which are generally infrequent and valued at less than $50,000. Capital outlays are paid for out of the operating fund. Debt service refers to principal and interest payments on borrowed funds (such as bonds or long-term loans). Capital improvement projects (CIP) are asset acquisitions and/or major facilities, systems, and infrastructure improvements which cost over $50,000. These reside “outside” of the operational budget and are an example of a one-time cost.
Governmental Activities
128
7 8
General Fund
The capital outlay budget was decreased by a net total of $0.6 million. There were budgetary reductions for various projects that were completed or no longer needed.
Revenues and transfers in received in Fiscal Year 2023 had a favorable variance of $10.6 million, due to the following reasons:
The Taxes category accounts for the majority of the variance for Revenue and Transfers. Property taxes were higher than estimated by $1.3 million, Sales tax was higher than estimated by $2.7 million, and Other Taxes were higher than estimated by $1.8 million. All of these areas outperformed the final budget estimates for the fiscal year.
Investment Earnings has a positive variance of $2.8 million, which includes book entries of $2.6 million, for investment gains and losses.
The current services category was also higher than budgeted by $1.5 million. Approximately $0.8 million of the variances is related to building activities such as planning application fees and plan check fees. There is a variance of $0.5 million for activities related to Community Service, including passport revenues, recreation activities, special events, and facility rentals. Additionally, there is a variance of $0.3 million for fire department-related activity, including AMR system enhancement fees and various inspection services.
The expenditures and transfers out in FY 2023 had a favorable variance of $34.4 million. Included in the savings, $20.5 million is unspent funding for ongoing capital improvement projects. These funds will be carried over to the next fiscal year to complete the projects. Additionally, a total of $3.0 million will be carried forward in the operating budget, as approved by the City Council. Of the $3.0 million in carryover funds, there is $1.1 million for the homeless program operations and a total of $1.0 million for grants in the Fire Department and Police Department. In addition, purchase orders totaling $3.1 million encumbered in Fiscal Year 2023 will be carried forward for activity that crosses fiscal years.
After considering the budgets carrying forward into Fiscal Year 2024 as noted above, the net savings for Fiscal Year 2023 is $7.9 million. The savings is primarily from the personnel budget due to vacancies throughout the year. There were 37 new positions included in Fiscal Year 2023, largely funded by Measure X. With the additional positions, there was an increase in the vacancy savings for Fiscal Year 2023. The following departments had savings in personnel budget: Planning and Development ($1.9 million), Police ($1.8 million), Community Services ($1.1 million), Fire ($0.9 million), Public Works ($0.5 million), and Finance ($0.5 million). The savings is viewed as one-time as the City is actively recruiting to fill the vacant positions.
Required Supplementary Information (Unaudited)
The operating budget increased by a total of $6.8 million. The primary increase is in the Homeless Programs Division within the City Manager’s Office. The General Fund Homeless Programs expense budget was increased by $1.8 million for the State Encampment Funding Grant and multiple professional services agreements approved by the City Council. The General Government budget increased by $1.5 million due to a transfer from personnel to the operating budget. The Fire Department budget was increased by $0.8 million for multiple grants approved by the City Council and the purchase of a Live Fire Training Simulator. The Community Services Department budget was increased by $0.7 million for additional Graffiti Removal Services, Performance Center Feasibility Study, Rent Stabilization Program Services, and new theater equipment for the Historic Civic Center Theatre. The Planning and Development Department budget was increased by $1.0 million for additional contract labor services and reimbursing the Inspection Division budget for deposits collected through fees. The increase was partially offset by a transfer of $250,000 from the personnel budget.
City of Corona
Notes to the Budgetary Comparison Schedule (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
General Fund appropriations and transfers out were originally adopted at $182.5 million for Fiscal Year 2023. Final appropriations were increased by $29.4 million to $211.9 million. Among the budgetary increase, $19.2 million was due to continuing appropriations from the prior year’s capital projects and grant funded activities and $5.5 million was for prior year committed purchases (encumbrances). There was $4.7 million in supplemental funding and transfers approved by the City Council subsequent to the budget adoption due to the following reasons:
The legal level of budgetary control is at the department level. A Department Director may transfer appropriations within the department and the same funding source. Expenditures may exceed appropriations at this level in the General Fund to the extent provided for in the annual budget resolution adopted by the City Council. The City Council, by the affirmative vote of three members, may amend the budget to add or delete appropriations, transfer between appropriations within a fund or change appropriation transfers between funds. Departments consolidated and presented under the General Government category are managerial and support departments that include City Council, City Treasurer, Management Services, City Manager’s Office, Finance, Human Resources, Legal and Risk Management, and General Government (non-departmental).
Budgets for General Fund, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
The personnel budget decreased by $1.6 million in Fiscal Year 2023. The budget was decreased by $2.0 million due to transfers from personnel to the operating budget. In addition, $0.3 million was added due to grant funding and other position adjustments approved throughout the fiscal year.

Modified Approach for City Streets Infrastructure Capital Assets For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
The City accounts for and reports its infrastructure capital assets in accordance with GASB Statement No. 34. Infrastructure assets are defined as the basic physical systems including street, water purification and distribution system, sewage collection and treatment facilities, park and recreation lands and improvement; stormwater conveyance system, and buildings combined with site amenities such as parking and landscaped areas used by the City in the conduct of City business. Each major infrastructure system can be divided into subsystems. For example, the street system can be divided into concrete and asphalt pavements, concrete curb and gutters, sidewalks, medians, streetlights, traffic control devices (signs, signals and pavement markings), landscaping and land. Subsystem detail is not presented in these basic financial statements; however, the City maintains detailed information on these subsystems in its core financial systems.
The City has elected to use the "modified approach" as defined by GASB Statement No. 34 for infrastructure reporting for its concrete and asphalt pavement system. Under the modified approach, eligible infrastructure capital assets are not required to be depreciated under the following requirements:
The City manages the eligible infrastructure capital assets using an asset management system with characteristics of (1) an up-to-date inventory; (2) condition assessments and summary of results using a measurement scale; and (3) estimation of annual amount needed to maintain and preserve the assets at the established condition assessment level.
The City documents that the eligible infrastructure capital assets are being preserved approximately at or above the established and disclosed condition assessment level.
The City commissioned a study to update the physical condition assessment of the streets within three regions of the City annually. The prior assessment study was completed in March 2019. The most recent assessments were performed using the StreetSaver software. The results from the assessments are shown below:
The streets, primarily Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) and Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavement, were defined as all physical features associated with the operation of motorized vehicles that exist within the limits of right of way. City-owned streets are classified based on land use, access, and traffic utilization, into the following three classifications: arterial/major, collector, and local. The Citywide condition assessment will be performed every three years, with each year focusing on specific regions of the City. Each street was assigned a physical condition based on 17 potential defects. A Pavement Condition Index (PCI), a nationally recognized index, was assigned to each street and expressed in a continuous scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is assigned to the least acceptable physical condition and 100 is assigned the physical characteristics of a new street. 130

Modified Approach for City Streets Infrastructure Capital Assets (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
The City's policy is to maintain an average rating of 71, or "Good" condition, for all streets. This rating level allows minor cracking and raveling of the pavement along with minor roughness that could be noticeable to drivers traveling at the posted speeds. As of October 2023, the City's street system was rated at a PCI index of 72 on the average for the entire network. A breakdown by condition is as follows:
The City’s streets are constantly deteriorating resulting from the following four factors: (1) traffic using the streets; (2) the sun’s ultra-violet rays drying out and breaking down the top layer of pavement; (3) utility company/private development interest trenching operations; and (4) water damage from natural precipitation and other urban runoff. The City is continuously taking actions to prevent deterioration through an on-going street rehabilitation program funded in the Capital Improvement Program. The program is formulated based on deficiencies identified as a part of the City’s Pavement Management System (PMS). It includes short-term maintenance activities such as pothole patching, street sweeping, and crack sealing. The City expended $31,027,916 on street maintenance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. These expenditures delayed deterioration and maintained the street condition from the previous assessment. The condition of the streets is rated at 72 in the current year, one point higher than it was in the prior year. A majority of the current year expenditures were incurred by the McKinley Grade Separation project. The City has estimated that the amount of annual expenditures required to maintain the average PCI rating of 71 through the year 2024 is a minimum of $6,000,000. A schedule of the estimated annual amount required to maintain and preserve the City’s streets at the current level compared to actual expenditures for street maintenance for the last five years is presented below:
As of June 30, 2023, approximately 41.9% of the City's streets were rated below the average policy standard of 71. In the most recent physical condition assessment of all City streets, it was estimated that in addition to the minimum annual maintenance requirement of $6.0 million, the total deferred work to rehabilitate all roads amounted to $40.6 million as of June 30, 2023. 131

California Public Employees' Retirement System Defined Pension Plan - Miscellaneous Plan Benefit Changes: There were no changes in benefits.
Changes of Assumptions: Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement dates 2017 through 2021,
7.65% for measurement dates 2015 through 2016, and 7.50% for measurement date 2014. 1 Historical information is presented for measurement periods after GASB No. 68 was implementated in 2014-15 (measurement period 2013-14).

Changes of Assumptions: Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from
7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement dates 2017 through 2021, 7.65% for measurement dates 2015 through 2016, and 7.50% for measurement date 2014.

Benefit Changes: There were no changes to benefit terms that applied to all members of the Public Agency Pool. However, individual employers in the Plan may have provided a benefit improvement to their employees such as Golden Handshakes, service purchases, and other prior service costs.
Changes of Assumptions: Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from
7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement dates 2017 through 2021, 7.65% for measurement dates 2015 through 2016, and 7.50% for measurement date 2014.

Notes to Schedule 11
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. The schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of Corona. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for the repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.
The percentage of overlapping debt applicable to the City is estimated using taxable assessed property value. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the overlapping district's assessed value that is within the boundaries of the city divided by the district's total taxable assessed value, except for community facilities district overlapping debt which was estimated by determining the special tax charged on property within the City, divided by the community facilities district’s total special tax for the fiscal year.
Amount excluded tax and revenue anticipation notes, enterprise revenue bonds, mortgage revenue bonds, and Successor Agency's tax allocation bonds.
