ARIOS, JUSTIN
From: Jason Brewer <[email protected]>
Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2021 1:33 PM
To: Housing Element; [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Comment re Chapter 3 of City of Costa Mesa’s Draft Housing Element, 2021-2029 Attachments: Table 1.pdf; Table 2.pdf; Table 3.pdf
Greetings,

I submit the following comment in response to Chapter 3 of the City of Costa Mesa’s Public Review Draft (August 2021):

Starting at page 3-45, the Public Review Draft (August 2021) addresses Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH). This section of the City’s Housing Element fails to address the requirements set forth in Government Code § 65583 and disregards the City’s own discriminatory housing practice reflected in its Zoning Code and its treatment of Supportive Housing for disabled persons (defined as Group Homes by the City).

The City’s Draft Housing Element is grossly inadequate because it fails to address the greatest source of housing discrimination in Costa Mesa: The City of Costa Mesa itself.

Nowhere does the Draft Housing Element address the effect of the City’s discriminatory zoning regulations against Group Homes (i.e., Supportive Housing for persons with disabilities.)

If Supportive Housing provides housing to persons with disabilities, then the City defines and classifies that residential use as a “Group Home”:

Group home. A facility that is being used as a supportive living environment for persons who are considered handicapped under state or federal law. A group home operated by a single operator or service provider (whether licensed or unlicensed) constitutes a single facility, whether the facility occupies one (1) or more dwelling units. Group homes shall not include the following: (1) residential care facilities; (2) any group home that operates as a single housekeeping unit.

The definition of Group Home includes Sober Living Homes, which are defined as:

DRAFT 1166

Sober living home means a group home for persons who are recovering from a drug and/or alcohol addiction and who are considered handicapped under state or federal law. Sober living homes shall not include the following: (1) residential care facilities; (2) any sober living home that operates as a single housekeeping unit.

Since the City’s last Housing Element in 2013, the City has engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination against Supportive Housing, specifically, Group Homes and Sober Living Homes.

Attached to this email is a chart that illustrate the effect of the City’s discrimination against Group Homes. It shows that even though Group Homes make up an infinitesimal percentage of the total number of dwellings in Costa Mesa, the City’s discriminatory zoning practices have further reduced the number of housing opportunities for persons with disabilities.

No new Group Homes have opened in the City since 2015 following the City adoption of Ordinance 14-13 (enacting Zoning Code Chapter XV) and Ordinance 15-11 (enacting Zoning Code Chapter XVI).

The City acknowledges in public records that as of in 2017, there were only existing 99 Group Homes in Costa Mesa, comprising 0.002% of the total number of dwellings in Costa Mesa (42,867). (See Table 1 attached to this email.)

Each of those 99 Group Homes was subject to the City’s discriminatory zoning regulations under Zoning Code Chapters XV and XVI, which prohibited each of the 99 Group Homes to continue providing housing to disabled persons unless they obtained a permit.

Of the 99 Group Homes, 76 homes applied for permits pursuant to either Zoning Code Chapter XV or Chapter XVI. The others quit the process as futile in light of the City’s unwavering policy of discrimination.

Of the 76 Group Homes that applied for permits pursuant to either Zoning Code Chapter XV or Chapter XVI, the City granted by 2919 only 14 permits, the remainder were denied by the City or abandoned the application process as futile. The last permit granted was in 2019; no new applications for permits have been submit because the City’s policy of discrimination deters person seeking to provide Supportive Housing to persons with disabilities.

DRAFT
1167

Group Homes without permits are subject to citation, criminal prosecution and civil abatement by the City. The City has aggressively cited Group Homes that provide housing to disabled persons but lack a City-issued permit. (See Tables 2 and 3 attached to his email.)

To date, the City has also sued 11 Supportive Housing providers as a “public nuisance” solely on the basis that each provides Supportive Housing to persons with disabilities but lacks a City-issued permit pursuant to Zoning Code Chapter XV or Chapter XVI.

Under the City’s Zoning Code the only zoning district in which Group Homes are permit of right is the Institutional and Recreational district, which is expressly reserved for non-residential uses. (CMMC 13-30 Table: Land Use Matrix.)

The complete failure of the City’s Housing Element, 2021-2029 (Public Review Draft) to discuss – let alone address -- the City’s pattern or practice of zoning discrimination not only offends Government Code § 65008, but utterly fails to meeting the statutory requirements pursuant to Government Code § 65583(c)(10) regarding the City’s compliance with Government Code § 8899.50(a)(1) (“affirmatively furthering fair housing means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity . . . fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws.”)

Thank you for your consideration.

I am sending this formal compliant (attached) against the City of Costa Mesa. The City is violating California Code 65000 et.al, including 65008, 65580 and 65585
Time is of the essence. I ask you to review the attachments and that you send a cease and desist letter, similar to the one you se nt to the cities of Anaheim (attached) and Encinitas earlier this year. I also request that you put a halt to the issuing of Costa Mesa's Housing Element.

I will also send you a hard copy to you at:
2020 W El Camino Ave, Suite 500 Sacramento Ca. 95833. If you have a different mailing address let me know.

Please acknowledge receipt of this email to [email protected] I appreciate you looking into this matter.

Subject: Comments on Costa Mesa's Draft Housing Element Dear Costa Mesa,

Thanks for the opportunity to comment on Costa Mesa's Draft Housing Element. It has virtues, but also flaws.

ADUs

Costa Mesa permitted 10 ADUs a year the last three years. It is predicting 107 a year for the next cycle. Costa Mesa permitted 4 ADUs in 2018, 6 in 2019, and 19 in 2020, an average of 10 a year. They’re predicting 858 a year for the 6th Cycle. Page B-11 of the Housing Element says, “The City of Costa Mesa has determined based on past performance and the SCAG/HCD approved methodology that it is appropriate to anticipate the development of 858 accessory dwelling units from 2021 to 2029.” HCD has not approved a methodology that allows cities to project ten times as many ADUs as they have been permitting.

Residential Development Constraints

Costa Mesa analyzes its residential development standards and concludes that none are constraints on development.

Costa Mesa requires two parking spaces, ~640 square feet, for a studio apartment; a typical studio apartment is around 500-600 square feet. And Costa Mesa claims, without any evidence, that this requirement doesn’t make modest studio apartments financially infeasible.

In other words, Costa Mesa requires more space for parking for a studio apartment than for people living in the apartment, and says that’s not a constraint on building studio apartments. Costa Mesa’s justification is that they’re no worse than other nearby jurisdictions. But those other jurisdictions also are failing to build enough housing.

The neighboring jurisdictions’ residential development standards are burdensome and excessive, and so are Costa Mesa’s.

Site Inventory

Costa Mesa plans most of its new housing on five big nonvacant sites: Fairview Development Center, Sakioka Lot 2, Home Ranch, South Coast Plaza, and Pacific Arts Plaza. The city says the owners have indicated there is the potential for future housing development on each of these sites. However, “potential for future housing development” does not forestall the possibility that these sites might not be redeveloped, or might be redeveloped as something other than housing. The city is required to discount the number of units expected from a non-vacant site, if the site might not be redeveloped for housing. The number of units expected from the big housing sites is inflated, because the city did not discount as it is required to do.

The Draft Housing Element must be revised to deal with these issues.

RE: Initial Comments to Draft Housing Element dated August 2021City of Yorba Linda October 13th, 2021
RE: Initial Comments to Draft Housing Element dated August 2021 Dear Ms. Ashabi:

Congratulations on the completion of the 6th Cycle housing element draft. We commend the city for completing its draft early and providing ample time for public comment. In conjunction with the Campaign for Fair Housing Elements, we have reviewed your draft housing element and would like to share the following feedback:
1) We are concerned about ADU projections that appear overly optimistic: Your housing element anticipates 858 ADUs, which is an estimated 107 per year during the 6th cycle planning period. This seems unrealistic. HCD has described two “safe harbors” for estimating ADU production (p. 31, Housing Element Site Inventory Guidebook). In the ﬁrst safe harbor, the city may use the trend in ADU construction since January 2018; as Costa Mesa permitted 4 ADUs in 2018, 6 in 2019 and 19 in 2020, that trend is about 10 ADUs per year or 80 for the next eight year planning period. For the second safe harbor, the city would use ﬁve times the construction trend prior to 2018. From 2013-2017, Costa Mesa permitted 8 eight ADUs, or about 2 a year. Five times two is 10, so the second safe harbor yields the same result, about 10 ADUs a year. We do not feel that the city adequately justiﬁed a projection of well over ten times the safe harbors.
1 DRAFT
1237
2) The majority of small sites identiﬁ ed for aﬀordable housing (that are not part of a larger parcel or development proposal) are in Latino, low income neighborhoods or existing commercial areas. Have you considered opening up other areas for development, particularly near high performing schools? Legislation like SB 9 and SB 10 provides opportunities for inﬁll development in high opportunity communities. Implementing some of these guidelines would go a long way to desegregating housing in Costa Mesa.
3) The Fairview Developmental Center (FDC) is owned by the state and was included on the last Housing Element, but no housing has been developed. We are not aware of a commitment from the state to developing it as aﬀordable housing.

Assuming that 920 homes of the 2300 proposed (40%) will be low-income aﬀordable is overly optimistic without an agreement in place. According to the Kennedy Commission, 20% low income is a more realistic ﬁgure based on SB 82.

We suggest revising it to reﬂect that input.
4) We commend the city for seeking out discussions with property owners interested in developing their properties for very-low and low-income housing through the planning period. However, for the remaining sites (for which no interview was conducted), the city says it does not have access to private party lease agreements or other contractual agreements among private parties. Under these circumstances, the safe assumption would be to assume zero likelihood of redevelopment for those sites; however the city does not do that. The assumption is that the sites will turn over even without any evidence to support it. 5) This lack of analysis, coupled with the uncertainty of the FDC and the development agreements encumbering low-income housing on the other major sites (Sakoika Fighting for a future of abundant housing in Orange County peopleforhousing.org 2
DRAFT
1238
Lot 2, Home Ranch, and Paciﬁc Arts Plaza) leads us to the conclusion that there are insuﬃcient sites for aﬀordable housing. We would advise the city to increase the number sites for low and very low income housing to enable a buﬀer for low income housing. There is currently a suﬃcient buﬀer for moderate and above moderate (market rate). We advise the city to create a buﬀer for low income housing; 15-30% is the HCD-recommended buﬀer.
6) We take issue with the assumption that the city’s development standards, particularly parking requirements, are not a constraint. Costa Mesa’s parking requirements are onerous. The city requires 2 parking spaces for a studio apartment and 3 parking spaces for a two-bedroom apartment. These are burdensome parking requirements, and are a barrier to reducing the cost of housing, both market-rate and aﬀordable.
7) Lastly, Measure Y, the requirement that development proposals over 40 units must be approved by voters is the single largest barrier to new housing development in the city. The city is indeed caught in a bind, having to defend a bad policy that inhibits the ability to comply with state law. Therefore we recommend that you take action to explicitly exempt any development project that includes low, very low or extremely low income housing.

Thank you for all of your eﬀorts to create a fair and legally compliant housing element. As frequent attendees in community meetings, we understand the city council has many diﬃcult choices to make with regard to its 6th Cycle Housing Element. We encourage the city council to do what is right, even if it is unpopular, Fighting for a future of abundant housing in Orange County peopleforhousing.org 3

Costa Mesa Affordable Housing Coalition

Department of Housing and Community Development
Division of Housing Policy Development
2020 W. El Camino Ave., Suite 500
Sacramento, CA 95833
RE: Summary of Concerns Regarding Costa Mesa’s Housing Element Update Dear Mr. McDougall:

We so appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and Marissa Prasse yesterday regarding Costa Mesa’s draft Housing Element Update (2021-2029). As you may know, the Costa Mesa Affordable Housing Coalition is a local advocacy group which for years has urged Costa Mesa to facilitate the construction of affordable homes for the city’s lower income residents. This letter summarizes the key concerns we articulated in yesterday’s meeting.

First, we applaud the city’s remarkably robust, open, and serious efforts at public engagement in its Housing Element process. We also congratulate the city for its mostly excellent draft Housing Element. We are particularly pleased the draft clearly states Costa Mesa’s commitment to adopting (finally!) an inclusionary zoning ordinance.

Now, the concerns. We have two:
(1) The draft fails to adequately analyze the constraints on affordable housing development specific to each of the four largest sites in the sites inventory, and (2) The draft fails to adequately analyze the paralyzing effect the city’s “Measure Y” will have on affordable housing development.

I.) Inadequate Analysis of the Four Largest Sites
A. The city should provide additional analysis on the Fairview Developmental Center (FDC) site and the implications of SB 82.

The Housing Element identifies FDC as a 109-acre state-owned opportunity site and assumes it can accommodate 2,300 housing units, and that 40% of those future units will be affordable to lower income households (575 very low and 345 low).1 Problematically, however, SB 82 states:
1 Costa Mesa Housing Element, Appendix B Candidate Sites Analysis Overview, October 6, 2021, p. B-15.

DRAFT
1243

Page 2 of 4 ends

“Notwithstanding any other law, the Director of General Services, with the consent of the Director of Developmental Services, may, in the best interests of the state, let to any person or entity real property not exceeding 20 acres located within the grounds of the Fairview Developmental Center for a period not to exceed 55 years, at a price that will permit the development of affordable housing for people with developmental disabilities… A minimum of 20 percent of the housing units developed shall be available and affordable to individuals with developmental disabilities served by a regional center…2”
Given the dictates of SB 82, the city needs to justify its assumption about the number of units possible on the site, as well as its affordability assumption that 40% of the units at FDC will be for lower income. A more realistic affordability assumption for FDC is 20% for lower income. While SB 82 indicates that a minimum of 20% of units will be affordable to individuals with developmental disabilities, there has been no written or public statement from the state expressing interest in making more than 20% of homes affordable to lower income households.

The FDC site holds tremendous potential for meeting the city’s considerable lower income RHNA (4713 units). The fact the site is state-owned, however, could be a significant constraint in developing any
housing there within the next eight years, much
less the 920 units of lower income housing specified in the sites inventory. The city should create a stand-alone program and commit to actively working with the state to accomplish the specified housing development at FDC anticipated in the sites inventory.

B. The city should provide further analysis on the constraints for the three large sites (Sakioka Lot 2, Home Ranch, and Pacific Arts Plaza) which are currently under development agreements with no affordable housing requirements.

Though these three large sites are in the 2021-2029 sites inventory, they will not be subject to any future inclusionary housing ordinance the city adopts because each site is already under a development agreement with no inclusionary requirement. The only way the owner of one of these sites will be bound by a future inclusionary ordinance is if that owner opts into future General Plan and zoning regulations.3 Absent such a choice to opt into a different governing land use regime, there is no reason to expect any of these property owners will voluntarily include in their respective projects any lower income affordable housing, much less the 15% lower income housing reflected in the sites inventory. Significantly, one of these large property owners has explicitly signaled his unwillingness to be bound by an affordable housing requirement. 2 California Legislative Information, Bill Text SB-82 Developmental Services, June 24, 2015. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160SB82 3 This fact was confirmed during the city’s consideration of the proposal to extend Sakioka Lot 2’s Development Agreement; the city confirmed that “if the Agreement were extended, and if an inclusionary housing ordinance was adopted along with future General Plan and zoning regulations, the developer would need to comply with the inclusionary housing ordinance IF they opted to develop per the future General Plan and zoning regulations.” (Costa Mesa City Council Agenda Report, An Ordinance for an Extension To And Amendment of the Sakioka Farms Development Agreement, March 18, 2021, p. 11.) DRAFT
1244

Page 3 of 4 ends

On April 6, 2021, the Costa Mesa City Council extended the expiring Development Agreement for Sakioka Lot 2 for an additional 10 years. Prior to that extension, the city’s Planning Commission recommended the City Council require the extended Development Agreement include affordable housing requirements to help achieve the city’s lower income RHNA goals.4 The property owner, however, was only interested in having Sakioka Lot 2 identified as a housing opportunity site; he was not “amenable” to any affordable housing requirements.5 Given the property owner’s very recent strong opposition to including any affordable housing provisions in the extended Development Agreement, it is unrealistic to assume that same property owner will prioritize the development of housing affordable to lower income households in developing the property.

The city offers no rationale for its expectation the owners of Sakioka Lot 2 and the other two large sites will voluntarily include affordable housing in their future developments.

Importantly, these three large sites are in prime locations near South Coast Plaza, where land values are among the highest in the city. Moreover, each of these three property owners is a longtime owner who has practiced the art of holding onto the land for decades while land values continually climbed upward. Given these facts, the city should analyze the affordability assumptions of “15% lower income” for these three sites in light of each site’s respective development agreement which insulates the site from any affordable housing requirements.

Additionally, it is highly significant Sakioka Lot 2 and Home Ranch have been vacant for decades. How realistic is it that these two sites will be developed in the 2021-2029 cycle? The city must provide that analysis.

Finally, the city should clarify if the affordability assumptions on these three large sites include units that result from a density bonus. For example, the draft indicates that for Sakioka Lot 2, the city “determined that it is realistic to assume that 15% of future units on this site may be available to residents at the lower income levels.”6 Is this 15% actually a density bonus where a developer would be granted a higher density on the proposed development and in exchange, the developer would have to set aside 15% of the units to be affordable? The significance of such a calculation is that the developer may elect to not develop Sakioka Lot 2 to full capacity under the density bonus, and thereby opt out of including any affordable housing.

II.) Inadequate Analysis of Measure Y’s Constraints on Affordable Housing Development Measure Y is Costa Mesa's largest unique constraint to development because it incentivizes less dense, and thus unaffordable, development, and perpetuates exclusionary zoning.

council should adopt a policy to exempt from Measure Y any projects approved under the inclusionary zoning ordinance which contribute units toward meeting the city’s extremely low-, very low-, and low-income RHNA requirements.

Poverty Level . As used by the U.S. Census, families and unrelated individuals are classified as being above or below the poverty level based on a poverty index that provides a range of income cutoffs or “poverty thresholds” varying by size of family, number of children, and age of householder. The income cutoffs are updated each year to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index.

Program . An action, activity, or strategy carried out in response to adopted policy to achieve a specific goal or objective. Policies and programs establish the “who,” “how” and “when” for carrying out the “what” and “where” of goals and objectives.

c/o Justin Arios, Associate Planner
77 Fair Dr.

Costa Mesa, Ca. 92626
Subject: Mitigated Negative Declaration, Housing Element Update (SCH 2021110014) I have reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the City of Costa Mesa 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (SCH 2021110014) and have the comments below. In general, I am disappointed and dismayed at the cursory approach to protecting our Costa Mesa environment reflected in the document.

The Project
Review of the MND and attached Initial Study (IS) is hindered by a poor project description.

The MND fails to clearly and accurately define the project. As stated in McQueen v. Board of Directors of the Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District (202 Cal.App.3d 1136, 1143; 249 Cal.Rptr. 439), “An accurate project description is necessary for an intelligent evaluation of potential environmental effects of a proposed activity”. In setting aside the approval of an EIR by the City of Los Angeles for water development facilities in Inyo County, the court stated:
“An accurate, stable and finite project description is the most basic and important factor in preparing a lawful EIR” (County of Inyo v. City of Los Angeles (71 Cal.App.3d 193) [139 Cal.Rptr. 401]).

A vague or ambiguous project description will render all further analyses and determinations ineffectual. It is critical that the project description be as clear and complete as possible so that the issuing agency and other responsible agencies may make informed decisions regarding a proposed project. Without a clear definition of the activities to be undertaken, the environmental document becomes useless. The CEQA process cannot ensure that all impacts have been mitigated to the extent feasible, because the ultimate extent of project activities is not stable and finite but is potentially unstable and infinite, contrary to the requirements of CEQA.

The proposed project identifies various sites citywide where housing would be “facilitated”. As represented in the MND, the proposed project is merely a policy document which would not actually result in any real construction and associated impacts. However, under current housing element law, identified sites must be re-zoned to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), and denial of housing on sites identified in a housing element is becoming increasingly difficult.

The courts long ago established that the appropriate time for environmental review is not when building permits are about to be issues, but when development is first “facilitated”. The City is reminded that, in accordance with Guidelines Section 15004(b), an environmental document is to be prepared as early as feasible in the planning process. Per Laurel Heights Improvement 1267

Page 2 of 7 ends

Association of San Francisco, Inc. v. The Regents of the University of California (1988 ) 47 Cal. 3d 376):
…the later the environmental review process begins, the more bureaucratic and financial momentum there is behind a proposed project, thus providing a strong incentive to ignore environmental concerns that could be dealt with more easily at an early stage of the project.

Thus, many local agencies are preparing full program EIRs for their housing element updates.

These include local communities like Newport Beach and Huntington Beach as well as larger cities like Los Angeles.

As stated in the MND, the project would facilitate the development of up to 17,531 dwelling units on numerous sites citywide. The MND fails to accurately identify how many of the 17,531 dwelling units would be permitted under current planning and zoning and how many would require a general plan or zoning amendment.

The material presented is misleading and inaccurate. The MND states that the total capacity of existing sites would be 6,310, reflected in “the [not specifically referenced] table”. That may well be, but Table 2-7, presumably the table referenced shows dwelling units beyond those currently allowable on what are being called “existing sites”. For example, the existing General Plan Land Use Element would permit up to 582 dwellings at Fairview Hospital, but Table 2-7 shows 2,300 units at that location. As stated in the General Plan Land Use Element:

The Home Ranch site has a site-specific FAR of 0.64 for office development; residential development is not permitted due to the site-specific FAR (p. LU 27). and
Although the Planned Development Commercial zoning may allow mixed-use development (i.e., housing as a complementary use), housing is not permitted on this property due to its location. (p. LU-46)
Under the North Costa Mesa Specific Plan 192 dwellings are permitted in the area north of South Coast Drive east of Susan. By contrast, Table 2-7 indicates that 2,215 units would be provided at Home Ranch.

The MND asserts that there are no dwellings currently pending in the City (Table 2-7) in the period subsequent to “June 31[sic], 2021”. Yet, approximately 200 dwellings are currently under construction at the Costa Mesa Motor Inn site and would be anticipated to become available for occupancy during the housing element cycle. Numerous units at other, smaller sites under construction, such as the Harbor Hamilton site, are similarly overlooked.

Oddly, over one thousand units at the One Metro West site are similarly overlooked; the site is neither included as under construction nor mapped on the site inventory. Has this project been abandoned by the applicant? No sites within the Newport Boulevard Specific Plan area or overlays are included in the inventory, though conversion to residential uses has occurred and continues to occur along this corridor.

While it is not required that every site be included in the housing element sites inventory, one has cause to wonder why massive amendment to existing planning and zoning would be proposed when sites already permitting substantial numbers of units are ignored. In any case, allowable 1268

Page 3 of 7 ends

units on all sites must be included in any analysis of cumulative impacts, which must include past, present and reasonably foreseeable, probably future projects under CEQA.

The Process
In accordance with Section 21080(d) of the California Environmental Quality Act:

If there is substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the lead agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, an environmental impact report shall be prepared.

Section 21080(e) defines “substantial evidence” as follows:
(1) For the purposes of this section and this division, substantial evidence includes fact, a reasonable assumption predicated upon fact, or [emphasis added] expert opinion supported by fact.
(2) Substantial evidence is not argument, speculation, unsubstantiated opinion or narrative, evidence that is clearly inaccurate or erroneous, or evidence of social or economic impacts that do not contribute to, or are not caused by, physical impacts on the environment.

As stated in Citizens for Responsible & Open Government v. City of Grand Terrace, (2008) 160 Cal. App. 4th 1323:

CEQA provides that generally the governmental agency must prepare an EIR on any project that may have a significant impact on the environment. (§§ 21080, subd. (d), 21100, subd. (a), 21151, subd. (a); Pala Band of Mission Indians v.

County of San Diego (1998) 68 Cal.App.4th 556, 570–571 [80 Cal. Rptr. 2d 294], quoting Quail Botanical Gardens Foundation, Inc. v. City of Encinitas (1994) 29 Cal.App.4th 1597, 1601–1602 [35 Cal. Rptr. 2d 470].) Whenever there is substantial evidence supporting a fair argument that a proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, an EIR normally is required. (§ 21080, subd. (c)(1); Guidelines, § 15070, subd. (a); Gentry v. City of Murrieta (1995) 36 Cal.App.4th 1359, 1399 [43 Cal. Rptr. 2d 170]; Pocket Protectors v. City of Sacramento (2004) 124 Cal.App.4th 903, 927 [21 Cal. Rptr. 3d 791] (Pocket Protectors).) “The fair argument standard is a ‘low threshold’ test for requiring the preparation of an EIR…
A mitigated negative declaration is one in which “(1) the proposed conditions ‘avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the public agency that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on the environment.’ (§ 21064.5, italics added.)” (Architectural Heritage Assn. v. County of Monterey, supra, at p. 1119; see also Citizens' Com. to Save Our Village v. City of Claremont (1995) 37 Cal.App.4th 1157, 1167 [44 Cal. Rptr. 2d 288].)
As stated in Pocket Protectors, v. City of Sacramento (2004) 124 Cal. App. 4th 903:

Unlike the situation where an EIR has been prepared, neither the lead agency nor a court may “weigh” conflicting substantial evidence to determine whether an 1269

Page 4 of 7 ends

EIR must be prepared in the first instance. Guidelines section 15064, subdivision (f)(1) provides in pertinent part: “if a lead agency is presented with a fair argument that a project may have a significant effect on the environment, the lead agency shall prepare an EIR even though it may also be presented with other substantial evidence that the project will not have a significant effect. (No Oil[, supra,] 13 Cal.3d 68).” Thus, as Claremont itself recognized, “Consideration is not to be given contrary evidence supporting the preparation of a negative declaration. (City of Carmel-by-the Sea v. Board of Supervisors (1986) 183 Cal.

App. 3d 229, 244–245 [227 Cal. Rptr. 899]; Friends of “B” Street v. City of Hayward (1980) 106 Cal. App. 3d 988 [165 Cal. Rptr. 514].” (Claremont, supra, 37 Cal.App.4th at p. 1168.)

It is the function of an EIR, not a negative declaration, to resolve conflicting claims, based on substantial evidence, as to the environmental effects of a project. (See No Oil, supra, 13 Cal.3d at p. 85.)
Adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is inappropriate in this case inasmuch as the clear potential for significant adverse impacts on the environment exists. These include but are not limited to impacts on aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, energy, land use, noise, recreation, public safety, and circulation.

Conclusions Absent Analysis
Overall, the MND lacks analysis to support findings of “no impact”. The materials on-line include no references to any technical reports or contact with specific service providers which may support the findings. While published reports are cited, these are all reports based on future needs anticipated under the existing general plan, not the proposed 41.9 percent increase in population.

Even where some nominal degree of justification for a conclusion is provided, it is based on fallacious reasoning. For example, it is asserted that only 61.5 acres of new impervious surfaces will occur, apparently based on the 61.5 acres now existing on three vacant sites. However, intensification of use on the other ninety some sites projected for redevelopment may result in significantly increased impervious surfaces at those locations. Developed sites are rarely completely covered with buildings and pavement, though they may well be after implementation of this housing element.

Unsure Mitigation
The MND relies on illusive measures to conclude that no significant impact will occur. In most cases such as potential impacts on historic resources (p. 62), geologic issues (p. 68), greenhouse gases (p. 72,73), emergency response (p. 78), water quality (p.85), and circulation systems (p. 106), to name a few, impacts are optimistically expected to be eliminated due to future studies and mitigation measures that will be imposed at some point by some future public officials.

Passing the buck to future officials and keeping our fingers crossed does not constitute mitigation.

This approach fails to even consider that in some cases it may not be possible to mitigate an impact to a level of insignificance. It also assumes that thorough studies will be conducted to identify all potential impacts. That becomes all the more unlikely in light of a city document asserting, as here, that no impact will occur.
1270

Page 5 of 7 ends

Even where specific mitigation measures are asserted to eliminate potential impacts, there is no assurance that an impact will actually be mitigated. For example, MMCR-1 calls for impacts on historic resources to be evaluated, but there is not requirement for elimination of the impact.

MMCR-2 calls for an archaeologist to recommend mitigation, but there is not requirement that the recommendation be adopted or implemented.

Impacts on several systems, such as parks and circulation, would be mitigated through payment of a fee. However, there is no assurance that the as yet to be identified impact will actually be alleviated by spending the fees. In addition, city fees are typically set somewhat lower than actual cost to the city for providing service. For example, the fee for apartment units was set at only about $5,000, though the actual costs of providing facilities and services for new apartment residents was calculated to run up to the $30,000 per unit range by city studies. Courts have found that “we’ll throw money at it” is not an adequate mitigation measure absent specific items where the money will be targeted.

In addition, I have the following concerns regarding impacts to specific issues.

Air Quality
As stated in the MND (p. 50):

CARB’s Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective recommends against siting sensitive receptors within 500 feet of a freeway, urban roads with 100,000 vehicles per day, or rural roads with 50,000 vehicles per day. The primary concern with respect to heavy-traffic roadway adjacency is the long-term effect of TACs, such as diesel exhaust particulates, on sensitive receptors. The primary source of diesel exhaust particulates is heavy-duty trucks on freeways and high-volume arterial roadways.

It is thus troubling that significant numbers of units would be “facilitated” in close proximity to freeways. This would render on-site recreation facilities of limited utility, further increasing impacts on city recreation facilities. Where dwelling are close to the freeway, passive ventilation is not advisable, to be replaced by use of air filters and air conditioners, increasing energy consumption and generation of greenhouse gases. This is a significant environmental impact.

Biological Resources
The document fails to identify biological resources on vacant sites or on the Fairview Developmental Center site. Hawks, owls, and other raptors have been observed foraging and resting on the FDC site. Due to the large expanse of open space and low intensity of human activity on the property, significant resources have been observed to exist. Elimination of this habitat area is a significant environmental impact.

Aesthetics
Clearly the high density housing proposed would result in structures several stories high. These have the potential to block views and create shade and shadow in the nearby area. There is no assurance that these impacts will be mitigated, simply a statement that impacts will somehow be reviewed in the future. That is not adequate. It is especially critical that aesthetic impacts be reviewed NOW in light of infill exemptions that specifically call out aesthetics as an area NOT to be reviewed for certain, specified infill projects. At a minimum that must include projects 1271

Page 6 of 7 ends

stepped back on upper levels, preservation of view corridors, and similar measures, and similar concrete requirements. Unless further mitigated, this is a significant adverse impact.

Recreation
According to the MND (p. 48), the city’s population will grow by 47,333 under growth “facilitated” by the proposed housing element. Based on the adopted desired parkland ratio in the city’s general plan, this would create a demand for over two hundred additional acres of parkland. The city does not have two hundred acres additional acres available. Thus existing parks and recreation facilities will be further crowded and overstressed. AS noted above, fees collected are no commensurate with actual costs to the community. Further, the city does not have a plan or even a concrete strategy for providing the additional needed facilities even if funding were adequate. This is a significant adverse impact.

Water
California is in a permanent state of drought. We have been asked to conserve water, and some areas are entering mandatory conservation. While Mesa Consolidated has prepared a Water Management Plan which projects adequate water for units anticipated under existing planning programs, that is not a guarantee that there is adequate water for tens of thousands of additional residents. It is astounding that the MND shows no evidence that no one from Mesa Water or MWD was even contacted for this initial study. Clearly, the proposed project has the potential to strain our water systems to the point where existing residents and businesses could face cutbacks or even rationing. This is a significant environmental impact.

In addition, what new water supply facilities might be required? Are existing water mains adequate to provide for the additional residents and for adequate fire flows? The MN D fails to even consider any stress on the water system. Clearly systems installed years ago for lower intensity development will be strained by the large numbers of additional housing units.

Wastewater
The MND concludes without analysis that there will be no impacts on sewer systems. The city has aging sewer systems that would be stressed by a 41.9 percent increase in population and associated wastewater generation.

The MND asserts that impacts on wastewater treatment would be insignificant because the increase represented by the new units in Costa Mesa would represent only a small percentage increase in wastewater flow in the system. The OCSD plant has some additional capacity, but it is not limitless and occasional malfunctions occur when the system is stressed, as we smell in certain parts of Costa Mesa.

The MND fails to consider cumulative impacts on the system. OCSD serves much of Orange County. Under the RHNA, cities in Orange County would provide approximately 184,000 new dwelling units, the vast majority of them in the OCSD service area. It is likely that this number of additional units would require additional facilities. This is a significant cumulative environmental impact.

OCSD currently treats up to 10 MGD per day of urban runoff under its Dry Weather Urban Runoff program, when capacity is available. Increased demand for wastewater treatment by Costa Mesa and other communities in the OCSD service area would utilize capacity currently 1272

Page 7 of 7 ends

utilized for DWUR, resulting in increased marine and beach pollution. This is a significant environmental impact.

It is only in in the early part of this millennium that OCSD went to full secondary treatment in order to reduce impacts on marine water quality. Impacts on this system would occur.

Public Safety
As stated in the MND (p. 100):

All candidate housing sites are within urbanized areas, surrounded by development, and served by CMPD. Potential impacts would include placing greater demands upon police stations, personnel, and equipment over time, potentially resulting in the need to provide new or expanded facilities in order to maintain acceptable service ratios.

Incredibly, the MND then concludes that no impacts would occur. The City and the state as a whole are experiencing significant increases in crime. Police departments in the region all seem to be understaffed, competing for a limited pool of high quality candidates. Despite heavy recruitment efforts, Costa Mesa’s police staffing level has been well below the budgeted number of officers needed to serve just the population we have. Adding thousands more dwelling units and tens of thousands of new residents will exacerbate this problem. This is both significant and adverse.

Conclusion
Based on the above, it cannot be assured that no significant adverse impacts will occur as a result of the proposed project. On the contrary, it is likely that impacts can and will occur. Thus, the proposed MND should not be adopted.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please keep me informed as this project proceeds.

Yours truly,

Sandra L. Genis

TITLE:
2021 LEGISLATIVE REPORT AND UPDATE FROM TOWNSEND PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
PRESENTED BY: ALMA REYES, ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER CONTACT INFORMATION: ALMA REYES (714) 754-5090
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file the 2021 legislative update and report from Townsend Public Affairs.

BACKGROUND:

Since 2019, the City of Costa Mesa has contracted with Townsend Public Affairs (TPA) for legislative advocacy and grant writing services. TPA is a State and Federal advocacy firm serving as the City’s lobbyist on legislation affecting Costa Mesa. With the completion of the most recent legislative session, TPA has prepared a presentation for the 2021 Legislative Update detailing TPA’sand the City’s advocacy efforts over the past year and the impacts of major State legislation.

ANALYSIS:

In 2017, the City hired Townsend Public Affairs (TPA) State and Federal advocacy firm, to provide support in grant writing and legislative advocacy services.

However, in an effort to be at the forefront of legislation the City amended its agreement with TPA to include legislative advocacy to the scope of work.

Since then, TPA has developed a legislative platform and strategy that represents the City’s priorities at the State and Federal levels. Some of the key components include:

1. City specific State Legislative topics for recommended action;

2. State Legislative themes for monitoring; and

3. State funding opportunities and requests.

The role of TPA is to act as the voice for the City of Costa Mesa on all State legislation as well as bill tracking and monitoring, updates to the City’s Legislative Committee, City Council and staff, development and hand-delivery of bill support and opposition letters and building relationships

Page 1 of 2 ends

1274
File #: 21-546 Meeting Date: 1/18/2022
between the City and its State and Federal representatives.

With the completion of the 2021 Legislative Session, TPA has prepared a Legislative presentation detailing advocacy efforts over the past year with highlights regarding the impacts of major legislation.

Process for 2022 Legislative Agenda
Beginning in early 2022, Staff and TPA will convene the Legislative Committee and City Departments to review the City’s Legislative Agenda for the upcoming year. Recommended changes will be presented to the City Council for approval.

ALTERNATIVES:

The recommendation to receive and file is an administrative action.

URBAN MASTER PLAN SCREENING REQUEST (UMP-21-005) FOR A NINE-UNIT LIVE/WORK DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 1540 SUPERIOR AVENUE
DEPARTMENT: ECONOMIC AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT/PLANNING

DIVISION
PRESENTED BY: CHRIS YEAGER, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
CONTACT INFORMATION: CHRIS YEAGER (714) 754-4883

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council review and provide feedback on the proposed nine-unit live/work project at 1540 Superior Avenue, located in the 19 West Urban Plan area.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to the Costa Mesa Municipal Code (CMMC) Section 13-28 (g)(4), applicants for residential or mixed-use development projects in a mixed-use overlay district shall submit a screening application for consideration by City Council at a public meeting. No other concurrent application for development may be submitted for processing until City Council comments have been received. The purpose of the screening application is to receive City Council comments on the merits and appropriateness of the proposed development, before the applicant submits a formal project application.
19 West Urban Plan
The property is located within the 19 West Urban Plan. On April 4, 2006, City Council adopted the Urban Plan to provide incentives for mixed use development. The 19 West Urban Plan allows for horizontal and vertical mixed use development, including live/work units and refers to the live/work standards in the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan. The intent of the Urban Plan is to provide development and economic incentives for private property owners to reinvest and redevelop their properties. The objectives of the plan include the following:
· Identify development regulations to realize the vision of the Urban Plan. These regulations address mixed-use development standards as well as public streetscapes and urban design improvement and amenities;
· Provide a Land Use Matrix of allowable uses that recognize the development potential of the plan area and need to sensitively integrate new development with the surrounding areas, and therefore, promote both resident and business community confidence in the long term; · Encourage commercial and residential mixed use development that combines residential and nonresidential uses in a single building (vertical mixed-use development) or in proximity on the

Page 1 of 6 ends

1276
File #: 21-526 Meeting Date: 1/18/2022
nonresidential uses in a single building (vertical mixed-use development) or in proximity on the same site (horizontal mixed-use development). This type of development includes office, retail, business services, personal services, public spaces and uses, and other community amenities to revitalize the area without exceeding the development capacity of the General Plan transportation system.
· Attract more residents and merchants by allowing mixed-use development in a single-use zoning area - specifically, vertical or horizontal mixed-use development offering first floor retail/office and upper story residential condominium units; · Encourage adaptive reuse of existing industrial or commercial structures, which would result in rehabilitated buildings with unique architecture and a wider array of complementary uses; · Stimulate improvement in the 19 West Urban Plan area through well designed and integrated urban residential development that is nontraditional in form and design with flexible open floor plans and which complements the surrounding existing development; · Meet demand of a new housing type to satisfy a diverse residential population comprised of artists, designers, craftspeople, professionals and small-business entrepreneurs; · Promote a new type of urban housing that would be target-marketed to people seeking alternative housing choices in an industrial area. An urban loft would be an alternative to a traditional single-family residence, tract home, or small-lot subdivision; and · Encourage the design and development of urban residential structures reflecting the urban character of the surrounding industrial context both in the interior and exterior areas.

Development Deviations
The Urban Plan allows design flexibility in exchange for quality projects that meet the Urban Plan vision. Such flexibility may come in the form of deviations from required development standards, if approved through a Master Plan. In this case, the applicant is proposing nine condominium live/work- units for homeownership consistent with the goals of the Urban Plan, along with a requested deviation from the minimum lot size.

Table A of the Urban Master Plan provides that the minimum lot size must be one-acre. Pursuant to the Development Standards, developments proposed with lots less than one-acre may be allowed as a deviation provided that all other development standards are met.

Should the project move forward, a Master Plan would be required, subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will consider screening comments provided by the City Council. Pursuant to CMMC Section 13-83.53(d), a deviation from mixed-use development standards may be approved through the master plan process provided that the following findings be made:

1. The strict interpretation and application of the mixed-use overlay district’s development standards would result in practical difficulty inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the General Plan and Urban Plan, while the deviation to the regulation allows for a development that better achieves the purpose and the intent of the General Plan and Urban Plan.

2. The granting of the deviation results in a mixed-use development which exhibits excellence in design, site planning, integration of uses and structures and compatibility standards for residential development.

3. The granting of a deviation will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or

Page 2 of 6 ends

1277
File #: 21-526 Meeting Date: 1/18/2022
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

Pursuant to the Urban Plan’s “Required Findings for Deviation from Development Standards for Live/Work Units,”additional on-site and off-site amenities contributing to the project’soverall design excellence may enable approval of the requested deviation. In exchange for any deviation, the project must provide quality environments and substantial amenities. Example onsite and offsite amenities are listed in the Urban Plan and described in greater detail in Attachment 1 (Project Summary Sheet).

In addition to on-site and off-site amenities, the Urban Plan requires a finding in support of the requested deviation from the development standards for live/work units. Specifically, a finding must be made that granting the requested deviation will not make the live/work units more suitable for a use that is primarily residential.

The 19 West Urban Plan can be found at the following link:
<https://www.costamesaca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/315/636490563866670000> Previous Urban Master Plan Screening
On December 7, 2021, City Council heard a similar live/work application for an urban master plan screening by the same applicant located at 1711 and 1719 Pomona Avenue. Overall the project proposed was supported by the Council with the following feedback being provided:
· The City Council commented that re-design should be considered for the units proposed with primary access from internal areas of the site to be instead oriented toward the street; · The City Council encouraged the applicant to include pedestrians and bicyclists active transportation opportunities in the site development;
· The City Council encouraged the applicant to provide community space and on-site amenities; and
· The City Council commented that additional site landscaping should be considered.

Staff reviewed the current screening proposal with the applicants based on the feedback provided by the Pomona Avenue City Council comments. In response, the applicants have indicated that the current application will provide bicycle racks, an onsite barbeque and seating area, and additional landscaping along Industrial Way.

ANALYSIS:

Project Concept
The proposed development site area totals 0.44-acre and is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of Superior Avenue and Industrial Way. The site is zoned General Industrial (MG) and has a General Plan land use designation of Light Industrial. The proposed development abuts Share our Shelves (a local nonprofit) to the north and an automotive service to the east. Additional industrial uses are located across Superior Avenue and Industrial Way. Currently, 1540 Superior Avenue is developed with a single-tenant, one-story light industrial facility which was most recently occupied by Share our Shelves and is now vacant. The site is approximately 150 feet northwest of a similar existing live/work ownership development (“Level1”)located at the northwest corner of Old Newport

Page 3 of 6 ends

1278
File #: 21-526 Meeting Date: 1/18/2022
existing live/work ownership development (“Level1”)located at the northwest corner of Old Newport Boulevard and Industrial Way.

The project proposes nine 1,992-square-foot live/work units with a ground floor work space and restroom, a second floor living area, a third floor with three bedrooms, and a rooftop deck. The project will comply with the maximum height allowed in the Urban Plan of 60 feet and four stories.

Pursuant to the Urban Plan, intensity in live/work development is measured by total floor area ratio (FAR), and not exclusively the number of dwelling units per acre. The proposed FAR for the project is

0.94 which is below the Urban Plan’s1.0 FAR maximum. The project includes 30 proposed parking spaces; 27 spaces are required. Six of the nine units contain a two-car garage while the other three units contain a one car garage and an open parking space. The site features 13 additional guest parking spaces and one bike rack (which is credited as one parking space) in a communal parking lot at the rear of the development. Additional details regarding project compliance with development standards are included in Attachment 1.

In order to facilitate the project, the applicant is proposing to subdivide the lot into a common interest development (condominium map for ownership units) pursuant to the requirements of the California Subdivision Map Act.

Screening of Project Concept
This Urban Plan screening process is intended to address the following issues:

1. Does the project meet the City Council’s expectations for projects in the Urban Plan areas? The screening process is an opportunity to determine whether the project concept meets the City Council’s expectations for new projects in the Urban Plan areas before the applicant submits a formal Master Plan application. A live/work project at this site is made possible by utilizing the standards referred to in the 19 West Urban Plan. The Urban Plan allows for live/work units and deviations from Urban Plan and other development standards when approved through a Master Plan in exchange for high quality projects that meet the objectives of the Urban Plan. In comparison to the Urban Plan objectives, the project would not exceed the General Plan Circulation Element’s development capacity, would attract residents and merchants into live/work units, stimulate development within the Urban Plan, and provides live/work units that are compatible with the industrial neighborhood.

Although the conceptual live/work units generally comply with the Urban Plan and Municipal Code development standards, staff believes that the development design concept requires further consideration in regards to the Live/Work Urban Plan’sArchitectural Design Guidelines and previous direction provided by the Council. The Guidelines encourage emphasis on front elevations and street facing elevations to accomplish “highquality projects”with the following specific considerations:

1. Building elevations should feature stepping forms both horizontally and vertically to soften and provide appropriate transitions among second-story, three-story and four-story elevations;

2. Building elevations should incorporate enhanced detailing, which may include

Page 4 of 6 ends

1279
File #: 21-526 Meeting Date: 1/18/2022
articulation, projections and use of varied building materials;

3. Architectural projections are encouraged to provide visual focus and emphasize some aspect of design such as entryway and major windows;

4. Long, unbroken building facades should be avoided, and a variety should be accomplished through variations in building heights and forms; and

5. Distinct architectural treatment and varying surface materials/finishes among the different units of a proposed multi-story development should be provided.

If the Council concurs and prior to Planning commission consideration, staff will work further with the applicant to improve the live/work design by enhancing the development to be consistent with aforementioned suggested Design Guidelines.

2. Does the City Council have comments regarding any requested deviations? The screening process highlights requested deviations from the Urban Plans so that the City Council can provide feedback. The proposed Master Plan would include a deviation request from the Urban Plan’slive work standards including the minimum lot size (required is 1.0-acre; proposed is 0.44-acre). Pursuant to the Live/Work standards referred to in the Urban Plan, developments proposed with lots less than one acre may be allowed as a deviation provided that all other development standards are met. Because the minimum lot size deviation has been requested, no additional deviations are permitted or requested.

In exchange for the City considering the deviation to the minimum lot size, staff is recommending that City Council encourage the applicant to work further with staff to modify the project to incorporate the Urban Design suggestions that encourage “highquality projects”, including additional on-site and off-site project amenities and additional front facing units where appropriate. (Please see Attachment 1, Urban Plan Screening Summary Sheet - Table 1, for a list of potential on-site and off-site amenities and additional specific project compliance analysis.

ALTERNATIVES:

Because the screening process allows the applicant to consider the City Council’sinitial comments and to refine the development concept based on Council feedback prior to submittal of a land use application for review, and no decisions are made, there are no alternative actions for the City Council to consider.

FISCAL REVIEW:

There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with this item. However, approval of this request and the subsequent development of the nine-unit live/work project will generate property tax revenues in future years.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this report and approves it as to form.

File #: 21-526 Meeting Date: 1/18/2022
CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES:

Diversify, stabilize and increase housing to reflect community needs.

CONCLUSION:

The screening process enables the City Council to address the central question about the proposed development and specifically “Does the project concept meet Council’s expectations for new development in the 19 West Urban Plan area?”
The City Council’s comments do not set precedent for the Planning Commission’s future consideration of a formal Master Plan application, nor constitute final action on the development project. In addition, the applicant may expect the Planning Commission to have other comments/concerns on the proposed development concept that may not have been raised by the City Council. The screening process allows the applicant to consider Council’sinitial comments and to refine the development concept based on their feedback.

Staff is recommending that City Council review and provide feedback on the proposed nine-unit live/work project, and encourage the applicant to work with staff, prior to Planning Commission review, to further incorporate the 19 West Urban Plan design suggestions that encourage “high quality projects.”

DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT

The proposed 0. 44-acre site is located on the northeast corner at the intersection of Superior Avenue and Industrial Way. The site is zoned General Industrial (MG) and has a General Plan land use designation of Light Industrial . Currently, the property at 1540 Superior Avenue is a single-tenant, one-story light industrial fa cility which is vacant an d was most recently occupied by Share our Shelves (a local non-profit organization).

The project proposes nine 1,992-square-foot units featuring a ground floor workspace and restroom with access to communal walkways. The Urban Plan provides that the units are required to include a minimum 250 -square-foot workspace . Residential space is located above the workspaces and includes a second floor living area with a kitchen, living space, half bathroom, and outdoor balcony. The third floo r is proposed to include three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The fourth floor is proposed to include an enclosed staircase and an open rooftop deck. The overall height of the development cannot exceed the maximum height as allowed in the Urban Plan of 60 feet and shall not include more than 4 floors. Pursuant to the Urban Plan, intensity and live/work development is measured by total floor area ratio (FAR), and not exclusively the number of dwelling units. The FAR for the project is 0.94 and is therefo re consistent with the specified Urban Plan maximum FAR of 1.0. Pursuant to the conceptual exterior elevations, the development is proposed to be a modern design which includes basic rectangular shapes and simple lines . The total proposed 30 on-site parking spaces exceeds the 27 parking spaces required by the Urban Plan.

EXISTING LAND USE CONTEXT

The proposed development abuts the current location of Share our Shelves (a local nonprofit) to the north and an automotive service to the east. Additional industrial uses are located across Superior Avenue and Industrial Way. The proposed development site is approximately 150 feet northwest of an existing live/work development with 60 units (Level 1) at the corner of Industrial Way and Old Newport Boulevard.

TRAFFIC EVALUATION

The City’s Transportation Division completed a preliminary trip generation analysis to compare the proposed nine-unit project to existing conditions. The preliminary projections (128 daily trips) indicate that the proposed development would generate more trips compared to the existing light industrial use. The average daily trips for the 4,360 square foot light industrial building translates to 21 daily trips. A transportation impact study is required for all development projects that generate 50 or more vehicle trips that end during 1283
a peak hour. As shown in the table below, the proposed project does not meet the criteria since peak am and pm hours are less than 50, and therefore a transportation impact study is not required . However, the project will be subject to traffic impact fees due to the increased intensity on the site.

Parking and Circulation

The Urban Plan indicates that live/work units up to 2,000 square feet are required to provide 1.5 tenant parking spaces per unit and 1.5 guest parking spaces . As proposed, the project would require 13.5 tenant and 13.5 guest parking spaces. The project proposes two-car garages for seven units, one-car garages and an open pa rking space for two units, an 11-car parking lot for guest spaces at the rear of the development , and a bicycle rack which is credited as one parking space. The total number of tenant parking spaces exceeds the Urban Plan requirement by three parking spaces. The required number of guest parking spaces has been provided.

The proposed site plan indicates a pedestrian walkway at the north of the property providing access to the five northern units and the four southern units would be accessible to the sidewalk along Industrial Way. The existing sidewalk along Superior Avenue is not proposed to be modified but will be enhanced with new landscaping.

The proposed project is located within a half-mile from bus stops for the 47 Line (Fullerton- Balboa) and the 55 line (Santa Ana – Newport Beach).

Design

The exterior elevations are proposed to have modern materials and finishes. Four of the nine units will feature workspaces that are oriented toward Industrial Way. The five other live/work units are proposed to have workspaces oriented toward the pedestrian pathway located at the northern portion of the project. The proposed conceptual renderings show modern elements. The modest articulation and delineation between floors are created with second floor balconies, multi -story flat awnings, and façade massing’s of different 1284
colors, thicknesses, and materials. The modern design is consistent with the majority of previous developments within the urban plan.

In consideration of pedestrian scale and building orientation, s taff believes there is an opportunity to orient units to face the front of the development on Superior Avenue. As proposed, two units would be adjacent to the street frontage on Superior Avenue but would not be oriented toward the street. The current plan includes new landscaping along Superior Avenue.

URBAN PLAN SCREENING CRITERIA

1. Does the project meet the City Council’s expectations for projects in the Urban Plan areas?

The screening process is an opportunity to determine whether the project concept meets the City Council’s expectations for new projects in the Urban Plan areas before the applicant submits a formal Master Plan application. A live/work project at this site is made possible by utilizing the standards set forth in the 19 West Urban Plan. The Urban Plan allows for the development of live/work units pursuant to the Mesa West Bluffs Urban Plan development standards. Development deviations from the Urban Plan standards are allowed when approved through a Master Plan in exchange for high quality projects that meet the objectives of the Urban Plan. In comparison to the plan objectives, the project would not exceed the General Plan Circulation Element’s development capacity, would attract residents and merchants into live/work units, stimulate development within the Urban Plan, and provides live/work units that are compatible with the industrial neighborhood. The project would also provide a unique live/work homeownership opportunity in the City.

Although the conceptual live/work units generally comply with the Urban Plan and Municipal Code Development Standards, staff believes that the development design concept requires further consideration in regards to the Live/Work Urban Plan’s Architectural Design Guidelines. The Guidelines encourage emphasis on front elevations and street facing elevations to accomplish “high quality projects” with the following specific considerations:

1. Building Elevations should feature stepping forms both ho rizontally and vertically to soften and provide appropriate transitions among second -story, three-story and four-story elevations;

2. Building Elevations should incorporate enhanced detailing, which may include articulation, projections and use of varied building materials;

3. Architectural projections are encouraged to provide visual focus and emphasize some aspect of design such as entryway and major windows;

4. Long, unbroken building facades should be avoided, and a variety should be accomplished through variations in building heights and forms; and 1285

5. Distinct architectural treatment and varying surface materials/finishes among the different units of a proposed multi-story development should be provided.

If the Council concurs and prior to Planning Commission consideration, staff will work with the applicant to improve the live/work design by considering further design options consistent with aforementioned suggested design elements.

2. Does the City Council have comments regarding any requested deviations?

The proposed Master Plan would include a deviation request from the Urban Plan’s live work standards including the minimum lot size (required is 1.0-acre; proposed is

0.44). Pursuant to the Live/Work and Residential Development Standards of the Urban Plan, developments proposed with lots less than one acre may be allowed as a deviation provided that all other development standards are met. Because the minimum lot size deviation has been requested, no additional deviations are permitted or requested.

In exchange for the City considering the deviation to the minimum lot size, staff is recommending that City Council encourage the applicant to work further with staff to modify the project to further incorporate the Urban Design Suggestions that encourage “high quality projects”, including, but not limited to, additional on-site and off-site project amenities (as indicated in the below Table 1) and additional front facing units where appropriate.

REQUESTED DEVIATIONS FROM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

The Urban Plans provide incentives for Live/Work units by allowing deviations from development standards, subject to the approval of the Planning Commission. The Urban Plan allows for development flexibility in exchange for quality projects that meet the Urban Plan vision. Council feedback is requested with regard to the following deviation.

Minimum Lot Size

A deviation has been proposed to allow for the project on a lot that is less than the minimum required one-acre lot size. The Urban Plan allow s for this deviation provided that all other development standards are met. The minimum lot requirement of one-acre has been challenging to meet for developers since very few existing industrial properties in the City exceed one-acre in size.

Because the minimum lot size deviation has been requested, no additional deviations are permitted per the Urban Plan. In exchange for any deviation, the Urban Plan specifies that a project must provide quality environments and substantial amenities which may include the amenities from the table below.

1286

MERITS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT

Following is a summary of the merits of the proposed live/work project at this location:

1. Project meets objectives of the 19 West Urban Plan. The project promotes a new type of urban housing including live/work units. If approved and constructed, these units would add to the City’s existing housing stock. All units include a ground floor office or work space that can be attractive for small home occupations for professionals who operate from home and the live/work units can be attractive to small business owners with minimal customer traffic such as artists and designers, etc.

2. Project location would be appropriate for the proposed land use. As envisioned by the Urban Plan, a live/work development would be compatible with the surrounding light industrial uses with the provision of adequate sound walls and construction assemblies to achieve the allowable interior noise standards in that the project is proposed with sound walls and specialized exterior wall assemblies. Mixed use and live/work projects are exempt from the exterior noise standards required by the Zoning Code for private open space in residential zones; however, the Urban Plan requires that a noise study and a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment be performed. Those studies would be submitted as part of the future application. 1287

3. Proposed Development is consistent with the objectives of the Zoning Code and Urban Plan. The proposed live/work development is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, and live/work development standards of the 19 West Urban Plan. The proposed dev elopment generally meets the development standards and setback requirements (with the exception of the minimum lot size).

As previously indicated, the minimum lot size deviation may be granted as long as the remaining development standards are met.

POTENTIAL ISSUES

In exchange for the City considering an exception to minimum lot size, staff is recommending that City Council encourage the applicant to work further with staff to modify the project to further incorporate the applicable Design Guidelines and consider greater use of specified on/off site amenities.

1288

TITLE:

CITY OF COSTA MESA AND COSTA MESA PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 2021
DEPARTMENT: FINANCE DEPARTMENT
PRESENTED BY: CAROL MOLINA, FINANCE DIRECTOR
CONTACT INFORMATION: CAROL MOLINA, FINANCE DIRECTOR, (714) 754-5243 RECOMMENDATION:

1. Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the following reports for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021:
a. Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) (Attachment 1); b. Air Quality Improvement Fund Compliance Report (Attachment 2); c. Audit Communication Letter (Attachment 3); and
d. Independent Accountant's Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures Applied to Appropriation Limit Worksheets (Attachment 4).

2. Staff recommends that the City Council and Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority receive and file the Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 (Attachment 5).

BACKGROUND:

Federal Single Audit guidelines require a recipient of federal funds to have an independent annual financial audit and compliance audit of the federal programs. As such, the City has retained an independent public accounting firm of licensed certified public accountants, Davis Farr LLP, to complete an audit of the City’s financial records. The goal of the financial statement audit is to provide users with a reasonable assurance from an independent source that the information presented in the financial statements is reliable and free of material misstatements. All of the financial reports received unmodified opinions from Davis Farr LLP. This is the highest and cleanest attestation report given by independent auditors.

ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR)
The ACFR is an audited summary report of the financial transactions of the City for Fiscal Year 2020-21. The report is presented to the City Council and designed to provide summary financial information.

The financial statements were prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and

Page 1 of 5 ends

1299
File #: 21-541 Meeting Date: 1/18/2022
The financial statements were prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and comply with reporting requirements of the national Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The specific financial documents on which the auditor expresses an opinion include (1) the financial statements, and (2) notes to the basic financial statements, which include required supplementary information. These documents, along with the auditor’s opinion letter and management’s discussion and analysis, form the core of the ACFR. The additional documents within the ACFR include: the letter of transmittal jointly from the City Manager and Finance Director, the combining and individual fund statements, and a supplemental statistical section presenting detailed information to assist the reader in assessing the economic condition of the City.

The City's audit was performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in the Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Such audits utilize sampling of data, inquiries of staff and management, testing of procedures and transactions, confirmation with outside parties, checking of certain internal files and documents, review of meeting minutes, specialized audit checklists, and numerous other techniques. The auditors also considered the City's internal controls in determining what procedures to use and the size of samples to be selected and reviewed. In their report, the auditors indicated that the financial statements were free of material misstatements and all significant transactions were recognized in the proper period.

AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT FUND COMPLIANCE REPORT
Assembly Bill 2766 (AB2766) authorized the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to impose an annual vehicle registration fee and to distribute a portion of that revenue to all local jurisdictions within the South Coast Air Basin. These revenues are to be used solely to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles by implementing new programs and studies necessary for the implementation of the California Clean Air Act. The City's Air Quality Improvement Fund accounts for the use of these funds received from SCAQMD. The Air Quality Improvement Fund Compliance Report received an unmodified (clean) audit opinion.

COSTA MESA PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority was created by a joint powers agreement between the City of Costa Mesa and the former Costa Mesa Redevelopment Agency, dated August 20, 1990, to provide financing for capital improvements, acquisition of capital improvements, and the purchase of local obligations. Davis Farr LLP also completed an audit of the Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority’s (a component unit of the City of Costa Mesa) financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements.

AUDIT COMMUNICATION LETTER
Audit clarity standards (AU-C) Section 260 requires defined and documented communications between the auditors and the City Council or Audit Committee. This letter provides an opportunity for the auditors to report on any difficulties or major concerns discovered during the audit and explain their role. They provide commentary on management's responsibilities for accounting policies and states that no significant difficulties were encountered in performing the audit, and no disagreements occurred with management.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES APPLIED TO APPROPRIATION

LIMIT WORKSHEETS
Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution requires that the City follow the procedures agreed upon by the State of California and the League of California Cities (as presented in the League publication entitled “Article XIIIB Appropriations Limitation Uniform Guidelines”) to determine the annual appropriations limit, which sets forth the maximum amount of special tax revenues an agency is allowed to spend. The auditors perform an "Agreed-Upon Procedure" where they recalculate the Gann Limit. They determined that the City has correctly calculated the Gann Limit.

ANALYSIS:

Based on the results of their audit, Davis Farr LLP provided the City with an unmodified opinion on the financial statements, which indicates that the City’s financial statements are free of material misstatements and are in accordance with GAAP. This is the best and highest audit opinion the City could receive.

GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL RESULTS
FY 2020-21 General Fund revenues (before transfers) totaled $141.1 million, or approximately $295,510 more than the final budget. Summary is as follows:
• Advance repayments had an increase of $548,288 due to a one-time rebate from Southern California Edison, as a result from changing all the City street lights to LED. • Fees and Charges were lower than budgeted by $711,051. This category covers fees and charges related to recreational activities such as sports, instructional classes, camps, and special events. Due to the closure of parks and recreational areas, and safety guidelines by the State to maintain six feet of distance, many of these recreational activities were temporarily suspended in FY 20/21.

General Fund expenditures (before transfers) totaled $123.5 million, approximately $4.3 million below the budget. The variance was due to the defunding of full-time vacant positions citywide, the reduction of certain non-essential services, the closure of City parks, and the prepayment of the annual CalPERS contribution obligations.

The City has incurred substantial costs in COVID related mitigation, prevention and safety measures. COVID expenditures are reported in the separate and distinct Disaster Fund as these expenditures are eligible for federal grant reimbursements and are required to be tracked separately. A brief summary of the Disaster Fund activity is presented later in this report.

General Fund transfers-out totaled $26.7 million and included $7.8 million to the Capital Improvements Fund for capital improvement projects and the transfer for the 5% Capital Assets Needs (CAN) Ordinance, $2.8 million to the Financing Authority Debt Service Fund for bond debt service payments, $1.8 million to the Housing Authority for the homeless shelter and related program costs, $6.9 million to the Internal Service Funds for various equipment, technology and vehicle purchases, as well as a true up per the CAN Ordinance, $5.1 million to the Disaster Fund for Small Business Grants and COVID related expenditures, and $2.3 million to the Self-Insurance Fund for annual worker’scompensation claims and general liability costs.

The General Fund transfers-in totaled $9.2 million from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for additional expenses incurred and to cover revenue shortfalls.

GENERAL FUND - FUND BALANCE
The General Fund’sfund balance increased by a slight $28,593. The City strategically utilized the federal funding from the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act to reimburse the City for its revenue losses and increased expenses for FY 20/21 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

As of June 30, 2021, the City has $25.1 million committed for declared disasters, self-insurance and economic uncertainty; $9.2 million assigned for compensated absences, Police Retirement 1% Supplemental Plan, prepaid items, and inventory; $1.8 million for the Section 115 Trust for post-retirement benefits; and $17.4 million in unassigned fund balance. Table 1 below shows the City’s fund balance amounts since 2012.

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
Change in Net Position
At June 30, 2021, the Statement of Net Position which is in essence the City’s overall balance sheet, and reflects the City’stotal assets and liabilities on an All Funds basis, reflects a positive $15.3 million increase. This is primarily due to the receipt of Federal American Rescue Plan Funds along with the City’s prudent financial management.

Pensions and Retiree Medical Liabilities
The City’s net pension liability increased by $10 million to $314.7 million for two reasons: the number of plan participants increased by 2.8% and the difference between actual and expected experiences. Three of the City’sfour pension plans are administered by CalPERS. The Police 1% Supplemental Plan is administered by the City and is paid on a pay-as-you-go basis.

In addition, FY 2020-21 is the fourth year the City is required to record the OPEB net liability on its financial statements, similar to the pension liability above. The City’snet OPEB liability increased by $4.0 million to $62.9 million, as reflected in Table 2 below. This plan is administered by the City and is paid to retirees on a pay-as-you-go basis.

In accordance with Federal guidelines, the City is required to track revenues and expenditures related to a proclaimed local emergency. The Disaster Fund was created to comply with Federal guidelines. In March 2020, the City, State and the President proclaimed the coronavirus pandemic (COVID) as an emergency triggering the utilization of this fund. The Disaster Fund had a deficit fund balance of $2.3 million in FY 19/20. In FY 20/21, the fund received $5.1 million from the

Page 4 of 5 ends

1302
File #: 21-541 Meeting Date: 1/18/2022
fund balance of $2.3 million in FY 19/20. In FY 20/21, the fund received $5.1 million from the General Fund (reimbursed by the Federal American Rescue Plan monies) for the Small Business grants program, expenditures incurred during the pandemic, and to cover the prior year’sdeficit.

Staff continues to work with various agencies to pursue additional cost recovery opportunities. The Disaster Fund will continue to account for COVID related expenditures in compliance with federal expenditure guidelines. At the end of the COVID disaster recovery effort, staff will reconcile and true up all related revenues and expenditures in this fund.

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (FUND 204)
The United States Congress signed the American Rescue Plan in March of 2021 for $1.9 trillion providing for a wide variety of funding efforts to offset the economic losses resulting from the worldwide pandemic. The City received $13.2 million or 50%, of the $26.3 million awarded in FY 20/21 from the grant. As approved by City Council, these funds covered COVID-19 related expenditures, staff furloughs, restored capital asset funding, recovered revenue losses, and addressed the deficit in the Disaster Fund, resulting from the pandemic.

CITY OF COSTA MESA

77 FAIR DRIVE, P.O. BOX 1200, COSTA MESA, CA 92628 -1200

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE FINANCE DIRECTOR —CITY TREASURER

December 17, 2021

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers:

The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report of the City of Costa Mesa (the City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, is hereby submitted. These statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principl es (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by an independent public accounting firm of licensed certified public accountants.

This report consists of management’s representations conc erning finances of the City .

Responsibility for both accuracy of the data, and completeness and fairness of presentation, including all disc losures, rests with management. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile suffici ent reliable i nformation for preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. 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 tha n absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement.

Management asserts that to the best of its knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects , and reported in a manner designed to pre sent fairly the financial position and results of operations of various funds and component units of the City . All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial activities have been included.

The City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, have been audited by Davis Farr LLP, an independent public accounting firm of licensed certified public accountants.

The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for th e fiscal year ended June 30, 202 1, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and , evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is pre sented as the first component in the financial section of this report.

The independent audit of the financial statements of the City was part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in the City’s separately issued Single Audit Report.

1314
ii
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditor’s report.

PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT

The City, incorporated in 1953, has an estimated population of 112,780 and a land area of

16.8 square miles. It is located in the southern coastal area of Orange County, California, and is bordered by the cities of Santa Ana, Newport Beach, Hun tington Beach, Fountain Valley, and Irvine. The City is approximately 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles and 8 5 miles northwest of San Diego. At its nearest point, the City is approximately 1. 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The City is also home to the world-renowned Henry and Renee Segerstrom Concert Hall, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and the Orange County Fairgrounds.

The City has operated under the council -manager form of government since incorporation.

Policy making and legislative authority are vested in the Mayor and City Council . The City Manager is responsible for implementing policies and ordinances approved by the City Council, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, and appointing department heads.

In November 2016, voters approved Measure EE regarding Voting District Formation and six voting districts were formed. Beginning in December 2018, the City Council transitioned from five Council Members to seven Council Members. E ach of the six districts elects one Council Member and the Mayor is elected at -large every two years. Council members are elected to four-year staggered terms.

The City is a “full service city” and provides a wide range of services. These services include:
police and fire protection; emergency medical aid; building safety regulation and inspection; land use planning and zoning; housing and community development; maintenance and improvement of streets and related structures; traffic safety, maintenance, and improvement; homeless street outreach and shelter services; and a full range of recreational and cultural programs. A “full-service city" is defined as a city that is financially responsible for the full set of basic tax -dependent municipal services within its jurisdiction including police, fire, park s and recreation, public works, and land-use planning.

The City maintains budgetary controls, the objective of which is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual budget approved by the City Council. Annual budgets are legally adopted for all governmental funds on a basis consistent with GAAP, except for certain special revenue and debt service fun ds for which annual budgets are not adopted.

Budgetary control for management purposes is maintained as authorized by City Council.

The City Manager submits the budget to the City Council, who adopts it prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Public hearings are conducted prior to budget adopti on. Supplemental appropriations, when required during the fiscal year, are als o approved by the City Council.

Intra-functional and interfund budgetary amendments are approved by the C ity Manager subject to the total amount authorized by City Council.

ECONOMIC CONDITION

Fiscal year 2020-21 marks a full fiscal year’s economic impact of the unprecedented worldwide pandemic, COVID -19. The pandemic continues to impact the global economy , our public health care system, and capital markets. Americans experienced job losses, rising rents, and increased inflation. The r etail sector and dining industry experienced unparalleled fiscal challenges resulting from the government lockdowns necessary to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and stabilize the nation’s health care system. 1315
iii

Governments utilized multiple financial assistance grants and programs to help stimulate the economy and to fund the increased costs associated with managing the pandemic . Federal and State stimulus monies were sent to Americans and also to businesses through the CARES Act approved by Congress in March 2020 for $2.2 trillion and December 2020 for $900 billion.

A third stimulus package was later approved, the American Rescue Plan Act, enacted in March 2021 for $1.9 trillion. Due to social distancing requirements and restricted indoor and outdoor activities, spending on services such as dining, leisure, travel and personal services was significantly reduced. Americans either saved the financial assistance or purchased g oods.

Online spending surged. Service -related industry workers experienced record job loss es.

When the demand for services restarted, many employees chose not to return to service - related positions.

The shortage of workers and the demand for goods have resulted in a backlog in the supply chain. Globally, many ports are jammed, and cargo ships are significantly delayed in docking to transport cargo to their destinations. As a result, the price of consumer goods continues to increase.

In fiscal year 2020 -21, General Fund revenue, not including transfers, increased by $4.6 million or 3.4 percent. This is primarily due to a strong rebound in the retail sector and online purchases resulting in a sales tax revenue increase of $8.0 million, or 14 percent. Costa Mesa is home to the renowned South Coast P laza, Metro Pointe, and a variety of brick and mortar stores that have offered curbside pickup and social distancing shopping experiences that have assisted in the rebound of sales tax revenues. It is important to note that sales tax revenues in comparison to fiscal year 2018-19, the last full fiscal year prior to the pandemic, was lower by $1.0 million, or 2 percent.

The sales tax increases were partially offset by the losses in the City’s hotel taxes. Transient Occupancy Tax decreased by $2.3 million or 35 percent. Business closures, shelter -in-place orders, and the significant reduction of conventions and conferences led to a continued decline in this revenue stream.

General Fund expenditures decreased by 2.6 percent compared to the pri or year. For fiscal year 2020-21, the General Fund ended with a net operating positive of $17.5 million before other financing uses of $17.5 million, comprised of transfers to the Disaster Services Fund and to the Internal Services Funds for the City’s Capital, Technology, and Equipment Funds .

Net financing uses increased by 150 percent compared to the prior fiscal year due to interfund transfers to the Capital and Information Technology Replacement Funds to ensure compliance with the CAN (Capital Asset Needs), and to the Disaster Fund to cover expenditures incurred during the pandemic . After the net of other financing uses, the General Fund ended with a very slight increase of $30,000 to the fund balance for fiscal year 2020-21.

The City is cautiously expecting a positive outlook for the local economy . The pandemic’s negative impact on the economy , coupled with the multitude of stimulus funding by the Federal government, show a stabilization of sorts. Economic indicators show inflation rates are expected to close calendar year 2021 around 7 percent . In October 2021, the United States wages increased by 9.77 percent over the same month in the previous year. While the City of Costa Mesa is experiencing a slight reduction in its financial situation, the City is well positioned to continue to weather the impacts of the pandemic. The City enjoys a strong , diverse local economy, well-funded emergency reserves, and a solid commitment to continue to deliver top quality services to the community.

Standard & Poor’s (S&P) rated the 2017 bonds AA+ upon initial issuance. On November 3, 2020, S&P reaffirmed the 2017 bonds’ AA+ long-term rating with a stable outlook.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
of the City of Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Costa Mesa (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021 and the related notes to the basic financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility 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; this includes 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
1 1326
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Costa Mesa, as of June 30, 2021, 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.

Emphasis of Matter
As described further in note 20 to the financial statements, during the year ended June 30, 2021, the City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 84 resulting in a prior period adjustment. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the City of Costa Mesa’s 2020 financial statement s, and we expressed an unmodified opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated, December 21, 2020. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the pension and OPEB schedules, and the budgetary comparison schedules identified as Required Supplementary Information (RSI) in the accompanying table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.

Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the GASB, 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 RSI 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 the audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
2 1327

The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary section is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 17, 2021, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Costa Mesa (City), we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. We encourage all readers to consider information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages i–vi of this report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
 Assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City’s primary government exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of fiscal year 2021 by $37.1 million (net position). Of this amount, $243.9 million (unrestricted net position deficit) primarily resulted from implementations of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Nos. 68, 71 and 73 for pensions, and GASB Statement No. 75 for Postemployment Benefit Other than Pensions (OPEB). These statements established standards for measuring and recognizing liabilities for defined benefit plans.
 In the government-wide financial statements, total net position increased by $15.3 million from the prior fiscal year total of $21.8 million primarily due to an increase federal funding from the CARES Act and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This increase was offset by a decrease in charges for services and an increase in expendituresdue to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.  In the fund financial statements, the governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $109.4 million, an increase of $7.1 million in comparison with the prior year total of $102.3 million.
 At the end of fiscal year 2021, the General Fund’s unassigned fund balance was $17.4 million or 14.1 percent of general fund expenditures of $123.5 million. Unassigned fund balance may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations.
 At June 30, 2021, the City reported $314.7 million in pension liabilities and $62.9 million in OPEB liabilities.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the basic financial statements which are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.

Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.

The statement of net position presents information on all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with difference between assets/deferred outflows of resources and liabilities/deferred inflows of resources reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.

The statement of activities presents information to show how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. 4 1332
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).

Both government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). Governmental activities include general government, protection of persons and property, community programs, public services, and interest on long-term debt. The City has no business-type activities or discretely presented component units.

The basic government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 15-16 of this report.

Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the City’s funds can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.

Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near- term financing requirements.

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide reconciliations to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

The City maintains 26 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental funds balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General, Capital Improvements and Gas Tax funds, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 23 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.

The City adopts an annual operating and capital budget for its General, Special Revenue, and Capital Projects funds. Budgetary comparison statements have been provided for these fund types to demonstrate compliance with the budget.

The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 18-23 of this report. 5 1333
Proprietary Funds
The City maintains one type of proprietary fund, internal service funds. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among various City functions.

The City uses internal service funds to account for equipment replacement, self-insurance (workers’ compensation, general liability, unemployment), and information technology replacement functions. Because there are no business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.

Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. Proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Equipment Replacement, Self-Insurance, and Information Technology Replacement funds, all of which are considered to be nonmajor funds. The internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for each nonmajor internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the supplementary schedules section of this report.

The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 24-26 of this report.

Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because resources of these funds are not available to support the City’s own programs and services. The accounting method used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on page 27-28 of this report.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages 29-72 of this report.

Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 73-92 of this report.

The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal service funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information section. Combined and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 96-126 of this report.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
City assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $37.1 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $15.3 million from 2020.

As in previous years, the City’s net position continued to reflect the impact from implementations of GASB Statements No. 68, 71 and 73 for pension and GASB 75 for OPEB, all of which account for the City’s defined benefit liabilities. The City’s total defined benefit liability is estimated at $377.6 million on the Statement of Net Position, an increase of $14.0 million as compared to the prior year. 6 1334
Another significant portion of the City’s total net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, and equipment), less related outstanding debt used to acquire assets that are still in service. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

At the end of fiscal year 2020-21, the City continued to report positive balances in two out of three categories of net position for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental activities. The unrestricted net position improved by $7.5 million, ending the fiscal year with a balance of $243.9 million primarily due to implementations of pension and OPEB accounting standards.

CHANGES IN NET POSITION
Governmental Activities
8 1336
Governmental Activities
Governmental activities increased the City’s net position by $15.3 million. The Coronavirus (COVID- 19) pandemic that started at the beginning of 2020 forced government agencies worldwide to issue business closure and shelter-at-home orders to protect life and safety. In fiscal year 2020-21, the City continued to implement multi-pronged operating cost reduction measures. These measures along with re-opening of businesses, lifting of the shelter-at-home order and Federal funding, contributed to the increase of the net position. Key factors in the City’s net position included:
 Sales tax increased by $7.9 million or 14.1 percent. Costa Mesa is primarily based on retail commercial business, sales tax from which is the City’s large st revenue source. The lifting of the State’s shelter-in-place order, resulting from COVID-19, has given citizens an opportunity to consume again, positively affecting sales tax revenue.  Operating contributions and grants increased $21.9 million or 207.5 percent primarily due to one-time federal stimulus funding; CARES Act and American Rescue Plan Act.  Transient occupancy tax decreased by $2.3 million or 35.0 percent due to the continuing decline in tourism, travel, conferences, and conventions directly correlated to the ongoing worldwide pandemic.
 Investment income decreased by $4.2 million or 102.0 percent. Due to the continuing global COVID-19 pandemic throughout fiscal year 2020-21, the economy was negatively impacted resulting in a decrease in the market.
 Overall expenses increased by $2.7 million or 1.6 percent from fiscal year 2019-20 as the City continued to implement safety measures against COVID-19 while reopening its doors for public service.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS
As was noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with professional standards promulgated by oversight agencies and also due to finance-related legal requirements.

Governmental Funds
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing financing requirements. I n particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.

As of the end of fiscal year 2020-21, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balance of $109.4 million, an increase of $7.1 million in comparison with the prior fiscal year fund balance of $102.3 million. Of this total amount:
 $0.9 million represents nonspendable fund balance which includes amounts that cannot be used because they are either not spendable in form or legally or contractually required to remain intact.
 $27.0 million represents restricted fund balance which includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by external sources or through enabling legislation. 9 1337
 $25.1 million represents committed fund balance which includes amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by a formal action of the City Council. It includes legislation (City Council action) that can only be overturned by a subsequent council action requiring a voting consensus.
 $39.4 million represents assigned fund balance which includes amounts that are designated or expressed by the City Council for certain purposes but do not require formal actions like resolutions or ordinances. City Council, via resolution, delegated the authority to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance assignment to the Finance Director.  The remaining $17 million constitutes unassigned fund balance.

The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. At the end of fiscal year 2020-21, the General Fund’s fund balance increased by $28,593. While the total fund balance amounted to $53.5 million, the unassigned fund balance was $ 17 million. As discussed in previous section s, the worldwide COVID pandemic continues to significantly impact key revenues and expenditures:
 Sales tax revenues increased by $8.0 million or 14.3 percent from fiscal year 2019-20. This increase is due to consumer online spending in addition to storefronts offering contact less curbside pickup and social distancing while shopping in store.  Transient occupancy tax decreased by $2 .3 million or 35.0 percent due to a reduction of convention conferences, business closures and shelter-in-place orders.  Property tax increased by $2.3 million or 5.0 percent.  Overall, total revenues in the General Fund increased by $4.6 million or 3.4 percent.  Community programs and public service s expenditures decreased by $ 1.6 million, in total, as the City implemented cost reduction measures in response to revenue losses from COVID.  Overall, total expenditures in the General Fund decreased by $3.2 million or 2.6 percent.

Major Funds Other Than the General Fund
The Capital Improvements Fund had $17.2 million in fund balance at the end of the fisca l year which represents a net increase of $5.7 million or 49.6 percent from the prior fiscal year. The increase in fund balance is mainly attributed to Transfers in for various capital improvement projects as well as the true up of 5% per the City’s Capital Asset Needs Ordinance requirement.

The Gas Tax Fund had $13.6 million in fund balance at the end of the fiscal year which represents a net increase of $ 1.8 million or 15.1 percent from the prior fiscal year. The increase is mainly attributed to fewer expenditures in capital projects due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government -wide financial statements, but in more detail. The City also utilizes Internal Service Funds, which are a propriety fund type.

The unrestricted net position of the Internal Service Funds at the end of the year was $10.4 million.

Total net position in creased by $6.8 million from the prior fiscal year . This was primarily due to increases in Transfer In for various equipment and fleet purchases, and for pending litigations. 10 1338

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
During fiscal year 2020-21 the actual revenues were $295,510 or 0.2 percent higher, than the final adjusted budget. The actuals were higher than the final adjusted budget due to a one -time rebate from Southern California Edison, as a result from changing all the City street lights to LED. This is seen in advances/repayment. There was a decrease in charges for services due to the pandemic that caused cancellations of activities that normally take place. There was also a slight decrease in franchise tax monies.

Actual expenditures were $4.3 million or 3.4 percent lower than originally estimated and final adjusted budget. The variance was due to the defunding of full-time vacant positions citywide, the reduction of certain non-essential services, the closure of City parks, the establishment of a five percent employee furlough, the partial waiver of the Capital Asset Needs Ordinance (CAN), and the prepayment of the annual CalPERS contribution obligations.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities (the City has no business- type activities or discretely presented component units) as of June 30, 2021, amounted to $282.9 million net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The investment in capital assets includes land, building improvements and structures, landscaping and sprinklers, machinery and equipment, intangible assets, park system and facilities, and road and storm drain infrastructure. The City’s investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year increased by $5.3 million. Major infrastructure asset additions during fiscal year 2020-21 were citywide street rehabilitation for Zones 6 and 7, Fairview Traffic Signal Synchronization, and other ongoing capital projects. Other assets capitalized included vehicle replacements and a variety of equipment purchases. During the fiscal year, capital assets not being depreciated decreased by $8.5 million and capital assets being depreciated increased by $21.3 million.

Additional information on capital assets can be found in note 6 on pages 48-49 of this report.

Long-Term Debt
At year-end, the City had two outstanding bond issues: the Public Financing Authority 2006 Revenue Refunding Bonds with an outstanding balance of $210,000 and the Financing Authority 2017 Lease Revenue Bonds with an outstanding balance of $24.9 million. Additionally, the City had $25 million in other outstanding liabilities related to loans, claims and employee benefits.

Long-term liabilities had a net increase of $3.5 million, primarily due to an increase in notes payable for the financing of the Pierce Arrow XT Firetruck and the City’s outstanding liability claims.

Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in notes 7 through 8 on pages 49- 52 of this report.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES
During fiscal year 2020-21, the local economy continues to face the financial hardships arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The City took a multi-faceted approach for addressing the estimated deficit by reducing spending across City Departments and implementing five percent employee furloughs, which were subsequently funded through ARPA monies. With the funding from the CARES Act and Federal American Rescue Plan Act, the City was able to sustain core services until revenues return to pre-pandemic levels. The City of Costa Mesa is experiencing a slight increase in its financial situation, attesting that the City is well positioned to continue to weather the fiscal impacts of the pandemic. For fiscal year 2021-22 the City is carefully restoring staffing and service levels cut at the height of the pandemic, while continuing to utilize federal stimulus funds.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole and its activities. These statements include all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and net position using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to accounting used by most private-sector companies. All current year revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Statement of Net Position
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between assets/deferred outflows and liabilities/deferred inflows reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.

Statement of Activities
The Statement of Activities presents information to show how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). 14 1344

Net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds 7,112,744$ Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:

Capital Related Items
When capital assets for governmental activities are purchased or constructed, the resources expended for those assets are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. As a result, fund balance decreases by the amount of financial resources used, whereas net position decreases by the amount of depreciation expense charged for the year.

Capital outlay 19,312,819
Depreciation expense (13,466,970)
Other capital asset related items (333,539)
Long-Term Debt Transactions
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Repayment of debt service is reported as an expenditure in governmental funds and, thus, has the effect of reducing fund balances because current financial resources have been used. For the City as a whole, however, the principal payments reduce the liabilities in the Statement of Net Position and do not result in an expense in the Statement of Activities.

Net changes in employee benefits leave payable (884,124) Principal payments - bonds 1,875,000
Principal payments - loans payable 15,391
Amortization of bond premium 147,767
Pension and OPEB

In the Statement of Activities, pension and OPEB expenses include the change in net pension and opeb liabilities and the related changes in pension and OPEB amounts for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources. of resources and deferred inflows of resources.

CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accountingpolicies of the City of Costa Mesa, California (City):
(a) Description of Reporting Entity
The City of Costa Mesa was incorporated on June 29, 1953as a general law city under the Government Code of the State of California. The City operates under a Council- Manager form of government. Among services provided by the City are the following:
public works, parks and recreation, planning, commu nity development, fire, and law enforcement services.

As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The City is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the City appoints a voting majority of that organization’s governing body and the City is either able to impose its will on that organization, or there is a potential for that organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. The City is also considered to be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent upon the City (i.e., it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval from the City). In certain cases, other organizations are included as component units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that their exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.

All of the City’s component units are considered to be blended component units.

Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the City’s operations and so data from these units are appropriately presented as funds of the primary government. The following organizations are considered to be component units of the City:

Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority
The Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority (Public Financing Authority) was established on August 20, 1990 for the purpose of financing public capital improvements. Even though it is legally separate, it is reported as if it were part of the City because the City Council also serves as the governing board of the Authority.

Transactions of the Public Financing Authority are reported in the Debt Service Fund.

Separate financial statements of the Public Financing Authority can be obtained at City Hall.

Costa Mesa Housing Authority
The Costa Mesa Housing Authority (Housing Authority) was created pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code, Section 34176(a). The Housing Authority promotes affordable housing for low and moderate income households within the City, administers the homeless outreach program and operates the bridge shelter for homeless individuals.

CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The Housing Authority is a separate entity primarily funded by housing loan repayments and transfers from the City.

City Council members, in separate session, serve as the governing board of the Housing Authority, and all accounting and administrative functions are performed by the City. Financial activity of the Housing Authority has been reported as if it were part of the City in the Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund. Separate financial statements of the Housing Authority can be obtained at City Hall.

Costa Mesa Financing Authority
The Costa Mesa Financing Authority (Financing Authority) was created by a joint powers agreement between the City of Costa Mesa (the City) and the Costa Mesa Housing Authority (the Housing Authority), dated August 1, 2017. It was created pursuant to Article 1 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title of the Government Code of the State of California (the “JPA Act”). Transactions of the Financing Authority are reported in the Debt Service Fund. Separate financial statements of the Financing Authority can be obtained at City Hall.
(b) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
 Government-wide financial statements
 Fund financial statements
 Notes to the basic financial statements
Government-wide Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements display information about the reporting government as a whole, except for its fiduciary activities. These statements include separate columns for the governmental and business-type activities of the primary government (including its blended component units), as well as its discretely presented component units. The City has no business-type activities or discretely presented component units. Eliminations have been made in the Statement of Activities so that certain allocated expenses are recorded only once (by the function to which they were allocated). However, general government expenses have not been allocated as indirect expenses to the various functions of the City.

Government-wide financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all (both current and long-term) economic resources and obligations of the reporting government are reported in the government-wide financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. 30 1367

CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources resulting from nonexchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 33.

Program revenues include charges for services, special assessments, and payments made by parties outside of the reporting government’s citizenry if that money is restricted to a particular program. Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the Statement of Activities to present the net cost of each program.

Amounts paidto acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government- wide financial statements, rather than reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long- term debt are recorded as a liability in the government-wide financial statements, rather than as other financing sources. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as areduction of the related liability, rather than as expenditures.

Franchise fees and business license charges have been reported as general revenues because the fees are based on gross receipts, not charges for services.

Fund Financial Statements
The underlying account system of the City is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds. A fund is defined as an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, recording resources, related liabilities, obligations, reserves, and equities segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific ac tivities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations. Fund financial statements for the primary government’s governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented after the government-wide financial statements. These statements display information about major funds individually and nonmajor funds in the aggregate for governmental funds. Proprietary statements include financial information for internal service funds.

Fiduciary statements include financial information for agency and private purpose trust funds. Fiduciary funds of the City represent assets held by the City in acustodial capacity for other individuals or organizations.

Governmental Funds
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. Measurable means that the amounts can be estimated or otherwise determined. Available means that the amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to be available to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period. 31 1368

CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The City uses an availability period of 60 days for all governmental fund revenue, except for grant revenue which uses an availability period of 90 days.

Sales taxes, property taxes, franchise taxes, motor vehicle in lieu, transient occupancy taxes, grants, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period to the extent normally collected within the availability period. Other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available when cash is received by the government.

Revenue recognition is subject to the measurable and availability criteria for the governmental funds in the fund financial statements. Exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period in which they are earned (i.e., the related goods or services are provided). Locally imposed derived tax revenues are recognized as revenues in the period in which the underlying exchange transaction upon which they are based takes place. Imposed nonexchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period for which they were imposed. If the period of use is not specified, they are recognized as revenues when an enforceable legal claim to the revenues arises or when they are received, whichever occurs first. Government- mandated and voluntary nonexchange transactions are recognized as revenues when all applicable eligibility requirements have been met.

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current financial resources measurement focus. This means that generally only current assets, current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are included on their balance sheets. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of “available spendable resources.” Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balance. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of “available spendable resources” during a period.

Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on the balance sheet in spite of their spending measurement focus. Special reporting treatments are used to indicate, however, that they should not be considered “available spendable resources,” since they do not represent fund balance.

Recognition of governmental fund type revenues represented by unavailable revenues are reported as deferred inflows of revenues.

Due to the nature of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities.

Since they do not affect net current assets, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.

Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were expended, rather than as fund assets. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as other financing sources, rather than a fund liability. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as fund expenditures. 32 1369

CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenses are considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then from unrestricted resources.

Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds
The City’s internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial statements, proprietary and private-purpose trust funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when related goods or services are delivered.

In the fund financial statements, proprietary and private-purpose trust funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. This means that all assets and all liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on the Statement of Net Position. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.

Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives us essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as investment income, gain or loss on sale of equipment and miscellaneous revenues result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities. Operating expenses for internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating expenses. Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the internal service fund financial statements, rather than being reported as expenses. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as liabilities in the internal service fund financial statements, rather than being reported as other financing sources. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the internal service fund are reported as reductions of the related liability, rather than as expenses. The City’s custodial funds are fiduciary funds and are accounted for according to the nature of the fund.
(c) Property Tax Calendar
Property tax revenues are recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied, provided this accrual meets the available criteria. “Available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The County of Orange collects property taxes for the City tax liens attached annually as of 12:01 a.m. on the first day in January preceding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. The tax levy covers the fiscal period July 1st to June 30th. All secured personal property taxes and one-half of the taxes on real property are due November 1st. The second installment is due February 1st. All taxes are delinquent if not paid as of December 10th and April 10th, respectively. Unsecured personal property taxes become due on the first of March each year and are delinquent if not paid as of August 31st.

Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (d) Fund Classifications
The City reports the following major governmental funds:

General Fund – The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. Expenditures of this fund include the general operating expenditures and other costs, which are not paid through other funds.

Special Revenue Fund
Gas Tax Fund - Established to account for the receipt and disbursement of funds required to be used for construction and maintenance of the City’s road network system. Financing is provided by the City’s share of State gasoline taxes, including allocations from the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA) and the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA).

Capital Projects Fund
Capital Improvements Fund – This capital projects fund was established to account for construction of capital facilities financed by the City’s General Fund and various governmental grants.

The City’s fund structure also includes the following fund types:

Special Revenue Funds – The special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted by law or administrative action for a specified purpose.

Debt Service Funds– The debt service funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, long-term liabilities, interest, and related fiscal agent costs.

Capital Projects Funds – The capital projects funds are used to account for financial resources segregated for the acquisition and construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by the proprietary funds).

Internal Service Funds – The internal service funds are used to finance and account for activities involved in rendering equipment replacement, self-insurance services, and information technology replacement to departments within the City. Costs of materials, equipment, and services used are accumulated in these funds and charged to the user departments as such goods are delivered or services rendered.

Private Purpose Trust Fund – The private-purpose trust fund accounts for the assets, liabilities, additions, and deductions made on behalf of the former Costa Mesa Redevelopment Agency.

Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Custodial Funds – The custodial funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations and other governments. The custodial funds are used to account for fees, assessments , seizures and donations for which the City is acting in an agent capacity. (e) Cash and Investments
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be reported at fair value. The fair value framework provides a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies including:
 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are inactive;
 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs reflect the City’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the City’s own data.
(f) Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents are defined as short- term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents include all investments with original purchase maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents also represent the proprietary funds share in the cash and investment pool of the City.

(j) Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at historical cost at the time of purchase. Assets acquired from gifts or contributions are recorded at acquisition value on the date received. Generally, capital asset purchases in excess of $5,000 are capitalized if they have an expected useful life of two years or more.

Capital assets include public domain (infrastructure) capital assets consisting of certain improvements including roads, streets, sidewalks, medians, sewers, and storm drains. Public domain assets acquired prior to 1980 have been included in the accompanying financial statements.

Capital assets used in operations are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method in the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements of proprietary funds. It is the City’s policy not to depreciate or amortize assets in its first year of service. A full year of depreciation or amortization is charged at final year of asset life or upon disposal.

Depreciation and amortization are charged as expenses against operations and accumulated depreciation and amortization are reported on the respective statement of net position.

The ranges of lives used for computing depreciation and amortization for each capital asset class are as follows:

Building improvements and structures 10-20 years Landscaping and sprinklers 35-40 years Automotive equipment 2-20 years Office furniture 5-20 years Office machines 3-20 years Other equipment 5-60 years Intangible assets 7-10 years Park system and facilities 10-25 years Infrastructure – roads 10-50 years Infrastructure – storm drains 50-100 years 37 1374

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (k) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
The statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expenditure) until that time. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. The items are deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB.

The statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has three types of items which qualify for reporting in this category. Two of the items are deferred inflows related to pensions and OPEB, which are presented on the government-wide statement of net position.

The third item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from accounts, taxes and grant receivables. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. (l) Fund Balances
Fund balances are reported in the fund statements in the following classifications:

Nonspendable Fund Balance – This includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not spendable in form(such as inventory) or legally or contractually required to be maintained intact (such as endowments).

Restricted Fund Balance – This includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation. If Council action limiting the use of funds is included in the same action (legislation) that created (enables) the funding source, then it is restricted.

Committed Fund Balance – This includes amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by formal action of a city ordinance by the Council. It includes legislation (Council action) that can only be overturned by new legislation requiring the same type of voting consensus that created the original action. Therefore, if Council action limiting the use of funds is separate from the action (legislation) that created (enables) the funding source, then it is committed, not restricted. For the purposes of establishing, modifying, and rescinding a committed fund balance, the City considers anordinance more binding than a resolution or a minute action by City Council.

CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Assigned Fund Balance – This includes amounts that are designated orexpressed by the Council, but does not require a formal action like a resolution or ordinance. The Council may delegate the ability to an employee or committee to assign uses of specific funds for specific purposes. In June 2011, the City Council passed Resolution 11-27, delegating authority to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance assignment to the Finance Director.

Unassigned Fund Balance – This includes amounts that are the residual balance for the City’s general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification is used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed or assigned.

In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when components of the unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance.

Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
(m) Em ployee Leave Benefits
Eligible employees accumulate up to 26.5 days of vacation each year, depending on the employee’s bargaining unit and length of service, but may not carry over from one year to the next more than the equivalent of one to two (depends on Memorandum of Understanding or Salary Resolution) year’s vacation without prior approval of the respective department head and/or City Manager.

A liability is recorded for unused vacation and similar compensatory leave balances since the employees’ entitlement to these balances are attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that virtually all of these balances will be liquidated by either paid time off or payments upon termination or retirement.

A liability is recorded for unused sick leave balances except for miscellaneous, confidential and Costa Mesa Police Association (CMPA) employee groups. The liability is recorded only to the extent that it is probable that the unused balances will result in termination payments. Unused sick leave is converted to CalPERS service credit at the time of retirement. The ability to liquidate leave balances is available to all employee groups with the exception of miscellaneous, confidential and CMPA employee groups, separations from which result in the forfeiture of the accrued sick leave benefit. Other amounts of unused sick leave are excluded from the liability since their payment is contingent solely upon the occurrence of a future event (illness), which is outside the control of the City and the employee. 39 1376

CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2021
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) A current liability is accrued in the governmental funds for material leave benefits due on demand to governmental fund employees that have terminated prior to year -end.

All other amounts are only recorded in the government-wide financial statements.

These non-current amounts will be recorded as fund expenditures in the year in which they are paid or become due on demand to terminated employees. (n) Claims and Judgments
The City records a liability for litigation, judgments, and claims when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred prior to year-end and the probable amount of loss (net of any insurance coverage) can be reasonably estimated.

This liability is recorded in an internal service fund, which accounts for the City’s self-insurance activities.
(o) 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 Plan and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For the purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.

Investments are reported at fair value.

GASB 68 requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframe. For this report, the following timeframes are used:

CalPERS Plans
Valuation Date June 30, 2019
Measurement Date June 30, 2020
Measurement Period July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020

Valuation Date June 30, 2020
Measurement Date June 30, 2021
Measurement Period July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021
(p) Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense and information about the plan (OPEB Plan), have been determined by an independent actuary. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.

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

Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity:

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type:
* not required to be rated
GASB requires the disclosure of more than 5% total investments with a single issuer. At June 30, 2021, the City’s investment in the following single issuers exceeded 5%:

Issuer Investment Type Reported Amount Percentage
FNMA Federal Agency Securities $ 12,112,545 10%
FHLMC Federal Agency Securities 7,837,514 6%
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits:

(2) Cash and Investments (Continued)
The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by the state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit).

The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.

Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro- rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

Investment in Public Agency Retirement Services
The City is a voluntary participant in the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). In 2021, the City funded an Internal Revenue Services Section 115 irrevocable trust with PARS for pension and OPEB benefits. The trust account allows more control and flexibility in investment allocations compared to the City’s portfolio which is restricted by State regulations to fixed income instruments. OPEB and Pension trust fund assets are held on behalf of the City by PARS. The City provides investment direction and determines the amount and timing of disbursements of PARS trust fund assets.

Fair Value Measurements
The City’s investments in the Costa Mesa Community Facilities District Bonds and Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. Bankruptcy are valued based on cost and the City’s assumptions originated from market participant input, respectively. These investments are not traded on, and therefore, are categorized in Level 3. When valuing Level 3 securities, the inputs or methodology are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Revenues received in these funds are legally restricted for specific purposes, such as transportation and facility related capital projects.

2. The fund balance committed for declared disasters was adopted by Ordinance No. 91-20 and Municipal Code Section 2-206 to provide required funding as a result of a declared emergency by the City Council for an unanticipated but urgent event threatening the public health, safety and welfare of the City. Any fund balance utilized has to be replenished.

3. The fund balance committed for self-insurance was codified in the Ordinance No. 96-14 and City Municipal Code Section 2-154 to provide a self-insurance reserve to be used to pay actual losses not covered by insurance policies or insurance pools. Any fund balance utilized has to be replenished.

4. The fund balance committed for economic reserves was adopted by the City Council on March 3, 2015 as a part of the reserve goal plan. The City commits $1,500,000 each year toward economic reserve.

The total aggregate amount of pension expense, including the Police 1% Supplemental Retirement Plan, is $38,977,699. Plan Below are descriptions of the retirement plans along with selected information regarding benefits, contributions, liabilities and actuarial assumptions:

Plan Descriptions
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City’s separate Miscellaneous and Police Safety Plans, agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans and the Fire Safety cost sharing plans. The plans are administered by CalPERS, which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers. Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.

Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries.

Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full-time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 to 62 with statutorily reduced benefits. For employees hired into a plan with the 1.5% at 65 formula, eligibility for service retirement is age 55 with at least 5 years of service.

PEPRA miscellaneous members become eligible for service retirement upon attainment of age 52 with at least 5 years of service. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 5 years of service.

The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit.

Safety members can receive a special death benefit if the member dies while actively employed and the death is job-related. Fire members may receive the alternate death benefit in lieu of the Basic Death Benefit or the 1957 Survivor Benefit if the member dies while actively employed and has at least 20 years of total CalPERS service. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. 54 1391

Totals 1,658 397 224
Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of achange in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process.

The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended.

Payments made by the employer to satisfy plan member contribution requirements as identified by the pension plan terms are classified as plan member contributions. (b) Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each Plan is measured as of June 30, 2020, based on an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2019 and rolled forward to June 30, 2020 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below. 56 1393

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability For the three CalPERS Plans, the June 30, 2019 valuation was rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2020 pension liability, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Valuation date June 30, 2019
Measurement date June 30, 2020
Actuarial cost method Entry-Age Normal in accordance with the requirements of GASB 68
Actuarial assumptions:

1 The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS’ specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2017 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 1997 to 2015. P re-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include 15 years of projected mortality improvement using 90% of Scale MP 2016 published by the Society of Actuaries.

For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from December 2017 that can be found on the CalPERS website.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at the 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 on investment was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

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. 57 1394

(10) Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Continued)
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short- term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, except compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long- term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.

The expected real rate of return by asset class are as followed:

Asset Class1

(11) Police 1% Supplemental Retirement Plan
(a) General Information about the Pension Plan
Plan Description
The plan was effective on July 1, 1993 for sworn members of the City of Costa Mesa Police Department. The plan was originally a 1% supplemental plan to the City’s 2%@50 benefit.

Under the Retirement Plan for Safety Employees of the City of Costa Mesa, the City joined CalPERS with 3%@50 Safety benefit as of December 31, 2000 and transferred active members to CalPERS. Employees who retired prior to July 1, 1999 were not transferred to CalPERS.

The Police 1% Supplemental Retirement Plan is a single employer defined benefit plan.

This Plan currently has only retired participants as all active employees were transferred to the CalPERS 3%@ 50 benefit plan. The number of participants at June 30, 2021 was 18.

The average monthly benefit being paid is $949.24. The retirement benefit is 1% of the highest 12-month earnings for credited services up to 25 years. Maximum benefit is 75% of the highest 12-month earnings for service retirement including all public plan pension benefits but not including Social Security. The 75% is proportionately reduced for less than 25 years of Costa Mesa Police Department service.

Contributions
The City has not adopted a funding policy for this supplemental retirement plan and accordingly plan benefits impact financial resources as benefits are paid.

(11) Police 1% Supplemental Retirement Plan (Continued) Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 2.10%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate.

Professional judgment on future contributions has been applied in those cases where contribution patterns deviate from the actuarially determined rates. Basted on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be depleted for current members during the fiscal year. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return of 2.10% was used to discount funded projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. The single effective discount rate was 2.10%.

The discount rate changed from 2.45% as of June 30, 2020 to 2.10% as of June 30, 2021 measurement date.

On January 1, 2000, the City adopted a Defined Contribution Plan (Plan) for part-time employees that work under 1,000 hours during the fiscal year and do not meet the eligibility requirements to be enrolled in the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS).

The Plan is administered by the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). As of June 30, 2021, there were 112 active participants in the Plan. Both the City and employees are required to each contribute 3.75% of gross wages. The City’s contribution to the defined contribution plan for the year ended June 30, 2021 was $23,576. (13) Other Post Employment Benefits Plan (OPEB)
Plan Description
The City administers a single-employer defined benefit plan, which provides medical insurance benefits to eligible retirees and their spouses in accordance with various labor agreements. The plan covers employees hired before January 1, 2004 who retire directly from the City with 10 years or more of City service. The City provides a contribution up to a percentage of the lesser of $500 per month or the premium for the most popular medical plan elected by the employees. The percentage varies by retirement date and years of City service. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2004, the City will only pay for the PEMHCA subsidy once they meet the definition of a retiree under CalPERS. The City provides retiree life insurance of $1,000 for the retiree and $500 for the retiree’s spouse.

Employees Covered
As of the June 30, 2020 measurement date, the following current and former employees were covered by the benefit terms under the Plan:

Active employees 445
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 429 Inactive employees entitled to, but not yet receiving benefits - Total 874

(13) Other Post Employment Benefits Plan (OPEB) (Continued) Contributions
The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by the City Council. The contribution required to be made under the City Council and labor agreement requirements is on a pay-as-you-go basis (i.e., as medical insurance premiums become due). For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the City contributed $1,814,944 to the Plan. The City has not established a trust for the purpose of holding assets accumulated for plan benefits.

The City’s total OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2020 by an actuarial valuation based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Discount Rate: 2.66% for accounting disclosure purposes. The rate is based on a yield for 20-year tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/Aa or higher (or equivalent quality on another rating scale). For the current valuation, the discount rate was selected from the range of indices as shown in the table below:

As of 06/30/20
Bond Buyer Go 20 – Municipal Bond Index 2.21%
S&P Municipal Bond 20-year High Grade
Rate Index

2.66%
Fidelity 20-year Go Municipal Bond Index 2.45%
Bond Index Range 2.21% -2.66%
Actual Discount Rate Used 2.66%
Inflation Rate: 2.75% per year
Aggregate Payroll Increases: 3.00% per year. This assumption is used to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability and to determine the Entry Age Normal actuarial liabilities.

Mortality Rate: Based on rates used in the most recent CalPERS pension valuation.

Turnover Rate: Assumption used to project terminations (voluntary and involuntary) prior to meeting minimum retirement eligibility for retiree health coverage. The rates represent the probability of termination in the next 12 months. The termination rates are based on those used in the most recent CalPERS pension valuation.

Retirement Rate: Annual retirement rates are based on those used in the most recent CalPERS pension valuation.

(14) Post Employment Benefits-RHS (Defined Contribution) On January 1, 2004, the City adopted a new Retirement Health Savings Plan (RHS) for all full-time active employees. This benefit was ratified in the City’s contractual agreements (MOU) with the Costa Mesa Employees Association (CMCEA), Costa Mesa Police Association (CMPA), Costa Mesa Police Management Association (CMPMA), and the Costa Mesa Firefighters Association (CMFA). This post-employment medical benefit is to assist employees with their qualifying medical expenses or premiums upon retirement or separation from the City with no minimum age requirement. The RHS plan is a defined contribution plan for all full time employees at the City. Under this plan, the employee and the City each make a mandatory 1% of base pay contribution. If the employee separates from the City prior to the 10-year vesting period, the employee forfeits his or her share of the City’s contribution.

(14) Post Employment Benefits-RHS (Defined Contribution) The City has no payment obligations once the employee separates from the City. Per a side letter agreement with employees, the RHS program was suspended starting November 7, 2010. For the CMPMA, effective July 2014, a 1% employee contribution is required to the plan, but no employer contribution is required. The City’s contribution to the defined contribution post retirement plan for the year ended June 30, 2021 was $0. (15) Expenditures in Excess of Appropriations
Excess of expenditures over appropriations in individual funds at the function level (level of budgetary control) is as follows at June 30, 2021:
(16) Risk Management
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the City participated in the California Municipal Excess Liability (“CAMEL”) Program. The membership of CAMEL consists of 21 cities with similar interests and needs regarding liability insurance. The Board of Directors sets the premiums for each participant and each participant is represented on the Board. Premiums are based upon the losses incurred by each member and are not affected by losses incurred by other members.

In the Self-Insurance Workers’ Compensation/General Liability/Unemployment Internal Service Fund, the City has recorded liabilities of $17,454,524 for lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The City is also self-insured for the first $2,000,000 of each claim arising for workers’ compensation and has purchased outside insurance coverage in excess of the $2,000,000 up to an unlimited maximum. The City is self-insured for the first $2,000,000 of each claim arising for general liability. The City has purchased outside insurance coverage in excess of the $2,000,000 up to a maximum of $25,000,000 per occurrence. For the past three years, claim payments have not exceeded the amount of applicable insurance coverage. The City has estimated losses for claims and judgments and has established liabilities of $8,903,985 for workers’ compensation and $8,550,539 for general liability. Losses for claims incurred but not reported are recorded when the probable amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These amounts represent estimates of amounts to be paid for reported claims and incurred but not yet reported claims based upon past experience, modified for current trends and information. While the ultimate amount of losses incurred through June 30, 2021 is dependent on future developments, based upon information from the City Attorney, the City’s claims administrators and others involved with the administration of the programs, Citymanagement believes the accrual is adequate to cover such losses.

(16) Risk Management (Continued)
The City is contingently liable for additional losses not reported in the accompanying financial statements in the range of approximately $25,000 to $2,000,000 for which the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is only reasonably possible, as determined by legal counsel.

Changes in claims payable for the past two fiscal years are as follows:

The City is currently the subject of a number of lawsuits related to sober living facilities within Costa Mesa. These cases are at various phases. At this time, the probability of an unfavorable outcome ranges from remote to probable, however the City Council has not given direction on whether to vigorously defend these cases or attempt to settle. Without direction, it is difficult to estimate the potential exposure to the City. P rofessional standards require a loss contingency to be accrued if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2021, the City set up a loss reserve of $2,374,484 related to sober living lawsuits.
(17) Pledged Revenue
The City and its component units has one debt issuance outstanding that is collateralized by the pledging of certain revenues. The amount and term of the remainder of this commitment is indicated in the debt service to maturity table presented in the notes. The purpose for which the proceeds of the related debt issuance was utilized is disclosed in the debt description in Note 8. For the current year, debt service payments as a percentage of the pledged gross revenue (or net of certain expense where so required by the debt agreement) are indicated in the table below. This percentage also approximates the relationship of debt service to pledged revenue for the remainder of the term of the commitment:
(18) Golf Course Lease Agreement
The City has entered into an agreement with Mesa Verde Partners (MVP) under which MVP will operate and collect user fees from the Costa Mesa Country Club through August 31, 2029. The agreement requires MVP to pay a percentage of gross receipts that MVPreceives from green fees, driving range, cart rental, sales from the proshop, food and beverages, and the rental of banquet and meeting rooms, or a flat minimum monthly rate, whichever is greater.

Each year, the assessed value of property may be increased by an inflation factor (limited to a maximum of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed as a result of new construction or at the purchase price (market value) or economic value of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above, represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above. Therefore, the estimated actual taxable value equals the total taxable assessed value.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of the Air Quality

Improvement Special Revenue Fund
Performed

in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards

T
he Honorable

Mayor and

City Council

City of
Costa Mesa
, California

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generall y accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States , the financial statements of the
City of
Costa Mesa
, California (the City) including the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund (the Fund) of the City, as of and
for the year ended June 30, 20
2 1
, and the related notes to
the financial statements, wh
ich collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements and have issued our
report thereon
dated
December
17 ,
202
1 .

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the Fund’
s financial statements, we considered the City’s
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing
audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial st
atements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A
deficiency in internal control
exists when the
design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness
is a deficiency, or a
combination
of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency
is a deficiency,

or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in th e first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in interna
l control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s Fund financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statement
s
. Such provision
s include those provisions of laws
and regulations identified in Assembly Bill 2766 Chapter 1705 [Health and Safety Code Sections 44220 through 44247] (the Guide).

1493
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of o ur
audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government
Auditing Standards
.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is

an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with
Government Auditing Standards
and the Guide in considering the City’s internal
control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Costa Mesa, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Costa Mesa (“City”) for the year ended June 30, 2021. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and, if applicable, Government Auditing Standards and OMB Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated October 14, 2021.

Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 84 related to Fiduciary Funds. The cumulative effect of the implementation of GASB Statement 84 as of the beginning of the year is described further in Note 20 to the financial statements. The City also implemented GASB Statement No. 98 to replace the term and acronym for Comprehensive Annual Financial Report with Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Additionally, as described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City changed accounting policies related to the availability period for governmental fund grant revenues. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particul arly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:

Management’s estimate of amounts recorded as claims and liabilities is based on management’s reliance on a third-party claims administrator. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the amounts by the third-party claims administrator and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Management’s estimate of transactions related to net pension and OPEB liabilities based on actuarial information. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the amounts by the actuary and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

There were no particularly sensitive note disclosures affecting the financial statements.

The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear. 1495
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. Material audit adjustments include recording custodial fund activity for GASB 84 implementation.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 17, 2021.

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the management’s discussion and analysis, the schedule of proportionate share of the net pension liability and the schedule of contributions - fire safety plans, the schedule of changes in the net pension liability and related ratios and the schedule of contributions - miscellaneous, police safety, the schedule of changes in OPEB liability and related ratios, and budgetary comparison schedules information which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

We were engaged to report on the combining and individual non-major fund financial statements and the budgetary comparison schedules, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI.

With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
1496

We were not engaged to report on
the introductory and statistical sections
, which accompany the
financial statements but are not RSI. We did not audit or perfor m other procedures on this other
information and we do not express an opinion

or provide any assurance on it.

Board of Directors
Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority
Costa Mesa, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and the major fund of the Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority (the Authority), a component unit of the City of Costa Mesa, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the basic financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these basic financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the basic financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (202,272)$ Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:

Repayment of long-term principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds and, thus, has the effect of reducing the fund balances because current financial resources have been used. For the Authority as a whole, however, the principal payments reduce the liabilities in the Statement of Net Position and do not result in an expense in the Statement of Activities.

Debt service principal - revenue bonds 200,000
The Statement of Net Position includes accrued interest on long-term debt.

The net change in accrued interest for the current period is reported on the Statement of Activities. 4,250
Change in net position of governmental activities 1,978$

9 1. Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

A. Description of the Reporting Entity:

The Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority (the Authority) was created by a joint powers agreement between the City of Costa Mesa (the City) and the former Costa Mesa Redevelopment Agency (the Agency), dated August 20, 1990. It was created pursuant to Articles 1 through 4 of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California in accordance with the provisions of the Mello-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985. The Authority was created for the purpose of providing financing for capital improvements, acquisition of capital improvements, and the purchase of local obligations.

Article 4 authorizes the Authority to borrow money for the purpose of financing the acquisition of capital improvements and to lease capital improvements to the City.

The Authority is an integral part of the reporting entity of the City. The financial activity of the Authority has been included within the scope of the basic financial statements of the City because the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa is the governing board over the operations of the Authority. Only the financial activity of the Authority is included herein, therefore, these financial statements do not purport to represent the financial position or results of operations of the City.

B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus:

The basic financial statements of the Authority are composed of the following:
 Government-wide financial statements
 Fund financial statements
 Notes to the basic financial statements
Government-wide financial statements display information about the reporting government as a whole, except for its fiduciary activities. These statements include separate columns for the governmental and business-type activities of the primary government (including its blended component units), as well as its discretely presented component units. The Authority has no business-type activities or discretely presented component units.

Government-wide financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all (both current and long-term) economic resources and obligations of the reporting government are reported in the government-wide financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements.

Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from nonexchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 33. 1510

10 1. Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

Program revenues include charges for services and payments made by parties outside of the reporting government’s citizenry if that money is restricted to a particular program.

Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net cost of each program.

Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements, rather than reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as liabilities in the government-wide financial statements, rather than as other financing sources. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as reductions of the related liabilities, rather than as expenditures.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined, expenses are considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then from unrestricted resources.

Fund Financial Statements
The underlying accounting system of the Authority is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Governmental 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.

Fund financial statements for the primary government’s governmental funds are presented after the government-wide financial statements. These statements display information about major funds individually and other governmental funds in the aggregate for governmental funds. Fiduciary statements include financial information for fiduciary funds and similar component units. Fiduciary funds primarily represent assets held by the Authority in a custodial capacity for other individuals or organizations. The Authority has no fiduciary funds.

Governmental Funds
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the modified- accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as fund balances. Measurable means that the amounts can be estimated, or otherwise determined. Available means that the amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to be available to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period. The Authority uses a sixty-day availability period.

Unavailable revenues are reported as deferred inflows of resources in the governmental funds.

Year Ended June 30, 2021
11 1. Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

Imposed non-exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period for which they were imposed. If the period of use is not specified, they are recognized as revenues when an enforceable legal claim to the revenues arises or when they are received, whichever occurs first.

Government-mandated and voluntary non-exchange transactions are recognized as revenues when all applicable eligibility requirements have been met.

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current financial resources measurement focus. This means that only current assets, current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on their balance sheets. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of “available spendable resources.” Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balances. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of “available spendable resources” during a period.

Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on the balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus. Special reporting treatments are used to indicate, however, that they should not be considered “available spendable resources,” since they do not represent available fund balance. Recognition of governmental fund type revenues represented by noncurrent receivables are reported as unavailable revenues. Noncurrent portions of other long-term receivables are offset by deferred inflows of resources - unavailable revenue.

Because of the spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.

Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as an other financing sources rather than as fund liabilities. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as fund expenditures.

C. Activities in Major Fund:

The following debt service fund is presented as a major fund in the accompanying basic financial statements:

Revenue Refunding Bonds 2006 Series A Fund - To account for the accumulation of resources for the payment of debt service for bond principal and interest relating to the 2006 Series A Revenue Refunding Bonds.

12 1. Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

D. Cash and Investments:

Investments are reported in the accompanying financial statements at fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.

E. Investment in Bonds:

Investment in bonds represents the Authority’s investment in bonds issued by the Costa Mesa Community Facilities District No. 91-1.

F. Net Position:

Net position of the Authority is restricted. This component of net position consists of constraints placed on net position use through external constraints imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

G. Deferred Outflow/Inflows of Resources:

In addition to assets, the statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that. The Authority does not have any applicable deferred outflows of resources.

In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Authority does not have any applicable deferred inflows of resources.

H. Budgetary Reporting:

Formal budgetary integration is not employed for the Authority because effective control is alternatively achieved through the debt indenture provisions. 1513

13 1. Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

I. Fund Equity:

The fund balances are reported in the fund statements in the following classification:

Restricted Fund Balance - this includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation. If the Board action limiting the use of funds is included in the same action (legislation) that created (enables) the funding source, then it is restricted.

J. Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

K. Fair Value Measurements:

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be reported at fair value. The fair value framework provides a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in a ctive markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies including:
 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are inactive;  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs reflect the Authority’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Authority’s own data. 1514

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

Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Authority’s investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the Authority’s investments by maturity:

Remaining Maturity (in Months)
12 Months 13 Months
Investment Type or Less or More Total
Money Market Mutual Funds $ 563,400 $ - $ 563,400 Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the Standard & Poor’s actual rating as of year end for each investment type:

Investment Type
Minimum
Legal Rating Total AAA
Money Market Mutual Funds AAA $ 563,400 $ 563,400
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in anyone issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code.

Maximum Percentage Investment
Authorized Investments Maturity Allowed in One Issuer
Repurchase Agreements 270 days None None

16 2. Cash and Investments (Continued):

No investments in anyone issuer (other than mutual funds and external investment pools) represent 5% or more of total investments by reporting unit (governmental activities or major fund).

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.

The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party.

The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by the state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies.

California law also allows financial institutions to secure Authority deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.

Fair Value Measurements
The Authority categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets.

The investments of the Authority are not subject to fair value measurements.

Not subject to fair value categorization:

Money Market Mutual Funds $ 563,400

18 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL

OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER

MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of Directors
Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority
Costa Mesa, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, financial statements of the governmental activities and the major fund of the Costa Mesa Public Financing Authority (the Authority), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the basic financial statements, which collectively comprise of the Authority’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 17, 2021.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Authority’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Authority’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. 1519
