To: City Council
Subject: CANCELLATION OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON
NOVEMBER 25, 2025
Date: November 18, 2025
Written by: Damien O'Bid, City Manager
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a motion to cancel the regular City Council meeting on November 25, 2025.

Background
The City Council generally meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. This year, the first regular City Council meeting fell on November 11 (Veteran’s Day) which is a City Hall holiday.

Therefore, the City Council rescheduled this meeting for November 18, 2025 as a Special Meeting.

Analysis/Discussion
The next regularly scheduled City Council meeting is on November 25, 2025. Given the proximity of the November 18 and November 25 meetings, the lack of any urgent matters and the Thanksgiving holiday week, it is recommended that the City Council cancel the regular meeting on November 25, 2025. The next regular City Council meeting will be on December 9, 2025.

Although not required by state open meeting laws, in accordance City Council Rules of Conduct, section I.A.3, “Any meeting of the Council may be canceled in advance by a majority vote of the Council.” This is intended to provide advanced notice for the public when there is a changed or canceled meeting date.
10 of 324
Financial Considerations
There will be no direct financial impact from canceling a City Council meeting.

Environmental Issues
The action of cancelling City Council meeting dates does not constitute a project as defined by California Environmental Quality Act.

To: City Council
Subject: RECEIVE AND FILE THE FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 AUDITED

ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR),

POPULAR ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (PAFR), AND THE
AUDIT REPORT ON THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT.

Date: November 18, 2025
Written by: Angela Courter, Director of Administrative Services Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the Fiscal Year 2024/25 audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR), and the Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures Applied to the Appropriations Limit Schedule.

Background
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is an audited summary report of the financial transactions of the City for the Fiscal Year 2024/25, ending June 30, 2025. The report is presented to the City Council and is designed to provide summary financial information for citizens, other government agencies, municipal lenders, and other interested parties. The format of this report complies with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and reporting requirements of the national Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

Chavan and Associates, llp, licensed Certified Public Accountants who specialize in governmental audits, have audited the City’s financial statements. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 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 ACFR is intended to improve access and transparency by providing ten years of historical 12 of 324
financial information and expert narrative analysis of the City's finances. This provides a multiyear look at the City finances and helps the reader understand the information presented in the Basic Financial Statements section of the ACFR.

Since fiscal year 2017/18 the City has applied for and received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) ACFR award called the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and will continue to apply for this award, which has historically been awarded to less than 1% of cities our size.

Popular Annual Financial Report
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) established the Popular Annual Financial Reporting Awards Program (PAFR Awards Program) in 1991 to encourage and assist state and local governments to extract information from their Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) to produce high quality popular annual financial reports, specifically designed to be readily accessible and easily understandable to the general public and other interested parties without a background in public finance, and then to recognize individual governments that are successful in achieving that goal.

The Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for the City of Cotati provides a snapshot of financial data and City specific information as was included within the audited ACFR. It highlights the topics of most frequent interest including; City overview including history, vital statistics, and resources available to the public; financial highlights including details on comparative revenues, expenses, net position fund balance; as well as strategic goals and accomplishments made during the year.

To reach more citizens about the vitality of the City and our financial standing, staff also translated the full document into Spanish. Both English and Spanish versions will be published online and promoted through social media with a City Financials Quiz consistent with prior years, and new this year we will be generating a short video to also post through social media and on the City Website.

Annual Appropriations Limit
The Appropriations Limit, otherwise known as the Gann Limit, is a law in California that limits the amount of money state and local governments can spend on tax-funded services. It was approved by voters in 1979 and is based on the amount of money spent in 1978/79, adjusted for inflation and population changes.

Analysis/Discussion
The City’s financial statements provide information about the finances of the City in its entirety, as well as information about individual funds. The ACFR is organized into the four sections summarized below.
13 of 324
Introductory Section
 Letter of Transmittal - which is designed to complement Management’s Discussion and Analysis (the MD&A) and is prepared by management and used to communicate information on areas that may have an impact on the City’s finances now and in the future. This includes economic factors as well as budget and management factors. Both should be read together to understand the City’s financial position.

Financial Section (the main body of the ACFR for current year information)  Independent Auditors’ Report – the City’s report card on the content of the ACFR.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) – provides an analytical overview of the City’s financial status and results for the year.
 Basic Financial Statements – reports finances at a point in time (assets - liabilities) and throughout the year (revenues - expenditures), and cash flows.  Government-Wide Statements – overview of financial information including all the City’s operations by financial activity.
 Fund Financial Statements – a detailed look at funds, reporting the Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance.  Notes to the Financial Statements (Notes) – a narrative explanation that accompanies the Basic Financial Statements.

Required Supplementary Information
 Budget to Actual Comparisons – for all governmental funds with a legally adopted budget.
 Pension Information – schedule of changes in the pension liability and related ratios; schedule of contributions by plan.
 OPEB Information – schedule showing Other Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions since fiscal year 2017/18.

Other Supplementary Information
 Non-Major Funds combining financial statements including the balance sheet and statements of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances.  Budget to Actual Comparisons – for non-major governmental funds with a legally adopted budget.
 Statements for Internal Service Funds.
 Schedule of Measure S Revenues and Uses for the fiscal year.

Statistical Section (current and historical information – up to 10 years) The last section of the ACFR, which is unaudited, contains schedules of statistical data about the City of Cotati in five major categories:

1. Financial Trends

2. Revenue Capacity

3. Debt Capacity

4. Demographic and Economic Information

5. Operating Information
14 of 324
These schedules, covering a ten-year period, provide operating context for the financial data presented in the financial section of the ACFR.

Other Independent Auditor’s Reports
Included within the financial statements at pages 175-177 Chavan and Associates, llp has provided the, Independent Auditors Report in 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. This report details what internal controls are and what material weaknesses or significant deficiencies are in internal controls. The auditors did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting; however, there may be control deficiencies which were not identified.

The ACFR is available on the City’s Financial Information webpage and attached to this staff report. Copies can be made available for review in the City Manager’s Office and in the Administrative Services Office.

Financial Highlights
Chavan and Associates, llp, the independent auditor, has issued the City a clean audit opinion. This independent audit includes an evaluation of the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the City, evaluation of any significant accounting estimates made by City management as well as verification that the financial statements are free from material misstatement. The attached ACFR has no material misstatements. The “corrected misstatements” on the Letter to those Charged with Governance relate to correcting the recording of the new debt for the pension and street project as well as correcting the deferred loss on the same refunding.

Additionally for the government-wide statements and fund financial statements there is a prior year adjustment posted for $1.0M due to the removal of previously recorded interfund debt service between the general fund and the enterprise funds, see footnote 16 on ACFR page 92. This correction to the government-wide prior year statement is a conversion entry for financial reporting from the modified accrual basis to the full accrual basis and as such does not impact the prior year fund financial statements. Due to this adjustment, comparison numbers to the prior year have been adjusted to reflect the corrected prior year basis.

Government-Wide Financial Statements (ACFR pages 37 - 40)  At the close of the fiscal year, the assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $55.9 million (Total net position in the government-wide) compared to $56.0 million in FY 2023/24. The two significant contributing factors to the change in fund balance are as follows:
 Net decrease of approximately $2.6 million, or 5.7% decrease in net investment in capital assets was due to slowdown in cost of expenditures for capital improvements over prior years while completing some significant Capital in Progress leading to historically higher depreciation versus new assets. Additionally, there were disposals of approximately $400K in assets no longer in service.  Restricted Net Position of $6.4 million represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on their use, or by enabling legislation. Restricted net position 15 of 324
is comprised of amounts restricted for housing ($4.8 million or 75.6%) capital, street and park projects ($1.5 million or 23.7%), and other restricted ($0.4 million, or 0.7%). Restricted net position decreased by $3.6 million, or 36.0%, primarily due to use of $2.5 million of funds held for public safety in the prior year related to reserves for emergency operations which is now reclassed as unrestricted, $0.5 million in funds held in the street bonds project funding and reserved to pay for improvements in future streets as well as completion of major construction for the Park and Ride lot which held $0.7 million in restricted funds for the prior year.  Unrestricted Net Position in the amount of $6.7 million, an increase of $6.1 million or 1,023% from the prior year, represents a net position of the City that is not restricted for any project or purpose. The increase of $6.1 million, or 1,023%, was primarily due to the reclassification of the funds held for emergency from restricted to unrestricted from the prior year, as well as increased net position overall for the business type activities due to excess revenues over expenditures as we try to improve the health of the funds overall for future capital infrastructure maintenance.
 As of June 30, 2025, the City’s governmental activities reported a net position of approximately $40.4 million compared to an adjusted $40.5 million in FY 2023/24, a $0.1 million or less than 0.3% decrease.
 As of June 30, 2025, the City’s business-type activities reported a net position of $15.5 million compared to $15.5 million in FY 2023/24. This shows steady increasing revenues that are just meeting the expenses for the year.

Fund Financial Statements (ACFR pages 41 - 55)
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s Governmental Funds reported a combined ending fund balance of approximately $12.5 million, a $2.0 million decrease from the prior year. This change is primarily due to flat revenues and increasing operational expenses as well as continued work on capital projects. Within the governmental funds ending fund balance, $1.4 million was restricted for capital projects including streets and parks, $3.6 million is reserved for housing, and $4.5 million is unassigned.
 As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s General Fund reported an ending fund balance of $7.0 million compared to $9.0 million in FY 2023/24, a $2.0 million net change.  The City’s General Fund continued to maintain a significant balance above the 25% required reserve.

The Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) statements derive core basic financial statement information and are reframed with the goal of simplifying the information to increase awareness throughout the community of the City’s finances. The report provides a brief analysis of the City’s revenue sources, where those dollars are spent, and an overview of the City’s financial condition. It is our goal that this report is easy to read and understand.

Though the intent of the PAFR is to provide a basic summary of the financial information, it is a focused subset of the financial information provided within the audited ACFR. As such, 16 of 324
it is noted throughout the report to find the detailed financial reports within the City’s ACFR, which can be viewed at City Hall or on the City’s website at cotaticity.gov. The ACFR is a more complete, independently audited financial presentation, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Consistent with the prior year, the Administrative Services Department will provide the PAFR both in physical documents, available at City Hall, the Police Department, and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as digital copies available on the City Website. With the next City newsletter, we will also provide a notice to the public about the availability of both the PAFR as well as the ACFR online and at City Hall.

Financial Considerations
The audit report included at ACFR pages 19-21 provides reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements and find no material weaknesses.

City of Cotati
Sonoma County, California
_______________________________________________________________________ October 15, 2025
The Honorable City Council
Cotati, California
Members of the City Council and Citizens of the City of Cotati:

The City of Cotati (City) is pleased to present our Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR or Annual Report) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The fiscal year covers financial transactions from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, on a modified or full accrual basis, depending on the fund type. While the City is only required to present a basic financial audit, the City has provided annual award-winning reports to provide the highest level of financial transparency to the City Council and community. The City follows a policy of preparing and submitting a complete set of financial statements with the independent auditor’s report, which are in conformity with the principles and standards for financial reporting set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and compliant with City and California Government Code Sections 25250 and 25253.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, the data as presented is accurate in all material aspects and presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and changes in financial position of the City as measured by the financial activity of its’ various funds. This information includes disclosures that are necessary to enable the maximum understanding of the City’s financial affairs.

City management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information provided in this report. The City has established a comprehensive framework of internal controls to provide a reasonable basis for asserting that the financial statements are fairly presented. The independent auditor’s report presents an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the City’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025. The independent auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.

The City has prepared the Annual Report using the financial reporting requirements as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments. This GASB Statement requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of a 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 report of the independent auditors.

Chavan & Associates, an independent and licensed certified public accountancy firm, has audited the City’s financial statements. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the management; and evaluating the overall financial presentation. Chavan & Associates has concluded, based upon the audit, that there is a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified audit opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2025, are fairly presented in all material respects in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

In accordance with Government Finance Officers’ Association (GFOA) best practices, which recommend changing auditors every five years1, this is the first year that the City is using Chavan & Associates to review the financial statements of the City.

Auditor’s Report Summary
34 of 324
The Annual Report includes the funds of the primary government, which includes the General Fund and several enterprise activities, as well as all its component units. Component units include legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially accountable, and that have the same board as the City or provide services entirely to the City.

The Annual Report is presented in four sections: Introductory, Financial, and Statistical. The Introductory section includes this transmittal letter, the City’s organizational chart, and a list of municipal officers and officials.

The Financial section includes the Independent Auditors Report, MD&A, government-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, notes to the financial statements, and required supplementary information. The MD&A provides additional information regarding management of the City’s finances and should be read in conjunction with this transmittal letter. The Statistical section includes selected financial and demographic information about the City, presented on a multi-year basis.

City Profile: The City of Cotati (City) voted for incorporation in 1963 as a general law city in the County of Sonoma, State of California. The City is located about forty-five miles north of San Francisco on the US 101 corridor between Rohnert Park and Petaluma. The City is approximately 1.88 square miles with an estimated population of 7,323, making it among the smallest incorporated communities in Sonoma County. Community amenities include a charming downtown along the historical Old Redwood Highway, with various shops and restaurants. The City is also known for festivals that draw international visitors and a weekly farmer's market during the summer. Award winning Sonoma County wineries are located within minutes from the City, making this community an ideal vacation destination.

City Council: The City is established as a Council-Manager form of local government and governed by a five- member City Council. The City Council selects the Mayor and Vice Mayor each year from among the five City Council members. The Council is elected on a non-partisan at-large basis. Council members serve four- year staggered terms, with two or three members elected every two years.

The City Council is the legislative and policy-making body of the City. The City Council formulates City policies in the form of motions, resolutions and ordinances which reflect the needs, wishes and priorities of the citizens of Cotati; promotes the economic, cultural, and governmental well-being of the City; and provides for the orderly operations and development of the City. The City Council also serves as the Successor Agency to the former Cotati Community Redevelopment Agency and Sonoma County facilitates the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency.

City Services: The City provides a full range of municipal services, including police, water, sewer, streets and sidewalks, cultural and recreation facilities, public works and parks, planning, and economic development.

The Rancho Adobe Fire District provides all fire services to the community. Public transit is provided by Sonoma County Transit, Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit, and Golden Gate Transit. The public school system that serves the City is the Cotati Rohnert Park Unified School District.

Demographic Information

The City’s budget starts with one or more strategic planning sessions with the City Council and the public. Following this strategic planning process, the departments take these priorities to develop initial operating and capital budget requests. The City Manager reviews these requests with the Administrative Services Department and the respective department heads. The City Manager and Director of Administrative Services then make recommendations to the City Council regarding the development of the City’s annual budget. After public discussion and evaluation of their recommendations, the City Council adopts a budget. After adoption, the Council reviews the financial activity quarterly in relationship to the original budget and amends the original budget as necessary to reflect changing conditions. During fiscal year 2024/25, the City initiated our first ever biennial budget adoption process covering fiscal years 2025/26 and 2026/27. The budget document is available online at www.cotaticity.gov/188/City-Budgets.

Expenditures are controlled at the department level for all budgeted departments within the City and may not legally exceed appropriations. The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Any amendments to the total appropriations of the fund must be approved by the City Council.

Measure G, a 1% sales tax, was passed by Cotati voters on June 3, 2014.

On November 3, 2020, with an approval of 74.5%, the voters agreed to extend the add-on sales tax with the approval of Measure S. These funds are now secured to support essential City services. However, even with the renewal of Measure S, the City continues to face challenges related to stagnant revenue growth and increasing cost of operations, including the rising costs of insurance for the City, higher utility costs, and higher labor costs while simultaneously funding the necessary replacement and upgrades of City infrastructure.

We need to stay cognizant of these trends and remain fiscally prudent and focused on using our resources to maintain core services. While we prioritize keeping our community safe and continuing to provide high quality essential municipal services; we are also focused on the future and continuing to move forward on City Council priorities. The City Council has clearly communicated the need for many years to continue to invest heavily in repairing and maintaining our infrastructure, with a focus on new housing development across all income levels and adaptation and mitigation to climate change.

As the City looks to continue balancing growth and managing revenue and expenses, there are key variables in planning long-term financial forecasts, including operating costs (primarily payroll growth, pension, and health premium rates) and revenue projections for property taxes, sales taxes, and other revenue sources. Moreover, Cotati continues to focus on maintaining sufficient financial reserves, diversification of revenue, paying for capital improvements, and improving levels of service to the residents.

Accounting System and Budgetary Control
Long-Term Financial Planning
36 of 324
The City is in beautiful Sonoma County, approximately forty-five miles north of San Francisco on US Highway 101. Just minutes from popular destinations including hundreds of local wineries, the Pacific Ocean, and giant redwoods, Cotati's strategic location in the heart of Sonoma County and its natural beauty has made it an attractive location as a place to work and live. Families continue to be attracted to the City of Cotati's historic charm, quiet neighborhoods, good schools, and low crime rate.

The City Council continues to prioritize economic development, infrastructure, community engagement, and equity. General Fund revenue continues to be an area that the City needs to bolster and diversify to be able to provide the infrastructure and services the community expects. The short-term strategy for revenue augmentation has focused on cannabis business taxes and transient occupancy taxes by developing these business sectors. This goes together with a “stop loss” approach to address areas of excess service costs to make revenue neutral. The medium to long term strategy continues to be diversification of the existing sales and property tax base to provide more stability, primarily through a more flexible business and development environment to encourage a wide array of businesses that fit into the fabric of Cotati and provides the jobs, services, and revenue needed by the community.

Below is a summary analysis of some key indicators of the region’s economic environment.

Employment
National unemployment fell to 3.6% in June 2023 but has since risen, reaching 4.3% in August 2025. According to the Sonoma County Economic Development Board’s 2025 Economic Outlook, job growth has moderated and the economy is creating fewer than 200,000 jobs per month—not enough to absorb new entrants into the labor force—contributing to a gradual increase in unemployment. At the state level, California’s unemployment rate stood at 5.5% as of August 2025. Sonoma County’s unemployment rate has also edged higher compared to prior years, averaging about 4.1% in Q2 2025 and reaching 4.7% in August 2025.

In the next five years, Sonoma County anticipates Healthcare, Protective Services, and Food Preparation occupations to experience the highest growth.

Unemployment Rate7:

United States 4.3%, California 5.5%, Sonoma County 4.7%, Cotati 3.4% Inflation
Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services increases, reducing the purchasing power of money. U.S. inflation, which peaked at 8.2% in September 2022, slowed considerably to a 12-month increase of 2.9% as of August 2025. This trend is consistent with conditions in California and the Bay Area, where inflationary pressures have also eased from 2022 highs.

Personal Saving Rate
The personal saving rate is calculated as the ratio of personal saving to disposable personal income. The U.S. personal saving rate was 4.6% in August 2025, down from a temporary rise earlier in the year. By comparison, the rate was 3.7% in 2023 and 12.9% in 1970. The personal saving rate remains a significant economic indicator, as it reflects households’ ability to accumulate resources for future use. 6 https://sonomaedc.org/data-center/workforce/job-market-tracker#:~:text=HIGHLIGHTS- ,Press%20Enter%20to%20explore%20data,JOB%20POSTINGS%20&%20SALARY Economic Overview of the City and Region
37 of 324
Consumer Spending Rate
Consumer spending, measured through Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), remains a key driver of U.S. GDP. In August 2025, PCE continued to increase modestly, consistent with ongoing growth in personal outlays despite higher interest rates. Personal consumption expenditures continue to increase and in September of 2025 saw month over month growth of 2.74%.

Sales Tax
Sales tax revenue (combined Bradley Burns and Measure S) accounts for approximately 62% of General Fund revenues.
• Bradley Burns - State Sales Tax: The Bradley-Burns Uniform Sales and Use Tax Law provides the State a 6% rate and a city/county rate of 1.25%. Out of the 1.25% city/county rate, one-quarter cent of the levy is sent to the county transportation fund and the 1% balance goes to support local government general funds. • Measure G/S - Local Sales Tax: In the June 2014 election, Cotati voters approved a ballot measure, Measure G, to increase sales tax to 1%. In November of 2020, the citizens of Cotati voted overwhelmingly to continue this special tax as Measure S until the voters repeal it. These additional sales tax dollars help ensure the City's financial viability as a full-service city, improve infrastructure, and protect the small-town quality of life. For FY 2024/25, the City collected approximately $3.05 million in Measure S sales tax revenues.

The revenue collected was used to maintain current service and operation levels in the General Fund as well as fund City recreation, public safety, and capital projects including parks and streets.

Sales Tax Breakdown: As of June 30, 2025, the total sales tax rate in Cotati was 10.25%8 as follows:

California Sales and Use Tax Rates
State 6.00%
County Transportation Funds 0.25%
Local-City of Cotati (Bradley Burns) 1.00%
Total State-Wide Sales and Use Tax Rate 7.25%
Add: County (See detail below) 2.00%
Add: Cotati Measure S 1.00%
Total Sales Tax Rate in Cotati 10.25%
Property Taxes
The City of Cotati receives approximately 10% of the property taxes collected within the City. The other 90% of property taxes collected support the Cotati-Rohnert Park School District, the County of Sonoma, and to a lesser degree, the Rancho Adobe Fire District. There are also a variety of special district property direct tax assessments, school district bonds assessments and a special property tax assessment by Rancho Adobe Fire District. Properties in Cotati experienced a net taxable value increase of 4.4% or $66 million for the 2024/25 tax roll. This is just under Sonoma County, which had a 5.2% increase in the tax roll for 2024/25. 8 https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/taxes-and-fees/rates.aspx
County-wide sales tax measures include Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit [SMART] (0.25%), the Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District (0.25%), Go Sonoma (Streets) (0.25%), Measure M (Parks) (0.125%), Measure Y (Libraries) (0.125%), Measure O (Mental Health and Homeless Services - SOMT) (0.25%), Measure H (Fire Protection & Emergency Services) (0.50%) & Measure I (Childcare/Education/Healthcare) (0.25%). Combined, they total 2.00% of the overall sales tax rate in Cotati. 38 of 324
Overall property values in the City increased by $66.4 million. Growth in values was largely attributed to a combination of the sale of property ($25.4 million) and the inflation adjustment of up to 2 percent ($27.4 million).

New construction also added approximately $16.9 million. There is an additional $1.8 million in Prop 8 recapture and $5.4 million in parcel adds. These increases were offset by approximately $10.5 million in other changes which include assessment appeals and changes to secured exemptions and other minor changes. Looking at the increase by sector, residential values increased by $36.8 million. Industrial values grew by $15.7 million, primarily due to a new development by Sandell Properties, which added $13.3 million. Vacant land values increased by $10.5 million. Commercial and other unsecured and miscellaneous categories added $3.4 million.

Through June 2025, about one-third of the 43 counties where we have sales data are still experiencing declines in median sale prices. In many areas, however, home sales rebounded in June, ending three months of median price declines. The mostly modest year-over-year median sales price changes for June 2025 showed the State’s Far North area having the strongest price growth at 13.7%; the Central Coast grew by 11.4%; Southern California grew by 1.9%; and the San Francisco Bay area grew by 1.0%. The Central Valley area posted a median sales price decline, slipping down by 0.8%. The median sale price of Cotati detached singlefamily homes from January through August 2025 was $759,000, a decrease of -$6,000 (-0.8%) from 2024's median price.

Housing/Building Permits
Building improvements and construction declined within the City in Fiscal Year 2024/25, with the number of building permits issued (278 permits totaling $9,729,992 in value) increasing by approximately 5%, and increased valuation approximately the same 5% compared to Fiscal Year 2023/24 (264 permits totaling $9,303,980 in value).

This increase is primarily related to the completion of more home improvement projects that are relatively small in scope, but which require building permits.

The City’s estimated ending General Fund Balance in the FY2025/26 Budget is approximately $3.9 million, which is equivalent to 36.7% of total operating expenses. This estimated reserve exceeds the required budgetary 25% reserve, set by City Council resolution. The ability to hold this reserve is primarily due to the City’s ability to efficiently manage costs while it continues to improve the services and infrastructure provided to its citizens.

The General Fund’s economic condition and economic outlook include the following assumptions in the FY2025/26 Budget:
• Primary Factors Affecting General Fund Revenue Forecast • Property tax growth of around 2.0% based on 2% assessor applied CPI. We do not anticipate a significant change in assessed value due to transfer of ownership due to increased interest rates and no significant construction projects anticipated to be complete during the fiscal year. • Sales tax decrease by 2.7% or $160K due to potential economic uncertainty derived from threats of tariffs causing slower consumer spending, especially on goods subject to sales tax. The City also anticipated a continued decreased volume of transactions generated through the County Pool due to Amazon Distribution Center re-allocation of funding statewide. • Cannabis business tax remaining level with approximately $812K in annual receipts for fiscal year 2025/26. Actual receipts for 2024/25 was higher than anticipated at $843K, however we still believe that the conservative budget is more in line with the decline in cannabis sales overall across the State of California.
• Primary Factors Affecting General Fund Expenditure Forecast • Staffing Costs increased by 14.7% from the prior year adopted budget. This increase is due to set pension required payments, increased health insurance, and programmed salary increases, contained in the approved MOUs.
• Increased cost of City-Wide insurance is estimated on average as an increase of 15%. • Increased cost of utilities of 11.2% based on noticed rate changes.

Strategic Goals
40 of 324
Financial and Operational Stability

1. Received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Triple Crown Award for completing awards in the same year for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, and the Certificate of Outstanding Achievement for Popular Financial Reporting.

2. Facilitated and adopted the City’s first biennial budget covering both fiscal year 2025/26 and 2026/27. These projections allow the City to better plan operations with slightly longer projections for revenues and expenses to meet our strategic goals, which often cover multiple budget years.

3. Produced the first bilingual (English and Spanish) Popular Annual Financial Report to better explain to our community how the City is doing financially.

4. Updated the Council Chamber Audio Visual Legislative System to move away from an end-of-life system that will no longer be supported by the vendor. This update included a full migration of past public meeting information in a new public access portal that allows for greater transparency and accessibility to records of all public meetings.

5. Completed an update of the City’s Water and Sewer Rates study solidifying user rates for the next 5 years in line with the needs of capital improvements and increased cost of operations.

Economic Development

1. Implemented the 5th cycle housing element program which is used to plan how to meet the housing needs of our community.

2. Facilitated a joint housing fair for the community and the neighboring community of Rohnert Park.

3. Completed the Cotati Density Bonus Program, allowing future developments to add more units if they meet community goals.

4. Completed the Santero Way Specific Plan update with extensive community engagement to increase residential development and commercial activities around the SMART train station.

5. Continued work on the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) housing by creating marketing materials and outlining grant programs available, as well as other types of funding support.

Community Safety

1. Police Enforcement: Continue efforts to maintain a safe community, including partnering with the City of Rohnert Park and Sonoma State University (University) with the SAFE (Specialized Assistance for Everyone) Team which provides 24/7 mobile mental health crisis responses to both Cities and the University.

2. Created the Community-Police Advisory Committee – A Brown Act advisory body that provides a forum for community input and strengthens trust between residents and law enforcement.

3. Dedicated resources to enhance DUI enforcement to improve roadway safety

4. Continued implementation of robust training on de-escalation, implicit bias, and support for individuals in mental health crisis.

5. Continue to maintain and build relationships with residents through support of “National Night Out” , “Neighborhood Beat Meetings” and “Coffee with a Cop.”

6. Continued collaboration with Sonoma State University safety and dispatch operations.

Infrastructure

1. Completed major infrastructure projects, including significant restoration of streets with pavement rehabilitation work on the Redwood Drive and Cypress Avenue.

2. Organize the annual creek week cleanup event to improve the health of our local waterways.

3. Completed a phase of the Sidewalk Gap Closure Projects, as a part of the Active Transportation Plan to provide more safe walking space for the community along Myrtle Avenue, Park Avenue and West School Street.

4. Performed a critical repair of the West School Street Storm Drain.

5. Continued park revitalization with start of construction of phase 1 at Putnam Park and designs for Civic Center/Cator Field Park, Sunflower Park, and the barns at the Veronda Falletti Ranch.

6. Finalized the implementation of the Asset Management uniform request tracking system. This asset-based service order system will allow for better tracking and reporting of maintenance and improvements of City assets.

Significant Events and Accomplishments
41 of 324
The GFOA awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This marks the sixth consecutive year the City has received this award.

The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports. To receive this award, the City published an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR. The report satisfied accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and applicable legal requirements. We believe this ACFR also meets the requirements of the program, and we will be submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for the certificate.

The professionalism, commitment, and effort of each employee of the entire staff of the Administrative Services Department have made this report possible, specifically Angela Courter, Neil Tomlinson and Rosie Speranza who were primarily responsible for the compilation of this ACFR. I would also want to thank the other employees in the other City Departments who contributed to the preparation of this report and their dedication to the City. Finally, I would like to thank the Mayor and the other City Councilmembers for their continuing support, stewardship and commitment in planning and conducting financial affairs and the long-term fiscal health of the City in a responsible and efficient manner, consistent with the City's mission to thrive by building fiscal strength and engaging the community with excellent services, public safety and infrastructure.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Cotati
Cotati, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Cotati (the “City"), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Cotati, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements City management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher 46 of 324

Tel: 408-217-8749 • E-Fax: 408-872-4159

than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and GAGAS, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and other required supplementary information, as listed in the 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 Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements, schedules, and other information listed in the supplementary information section of the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.

Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain 47 of 324

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 GAAS. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report.

The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 15, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is 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 Discussion & Analysis
As management of the City of Cotati (City), we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in the City’s basic financial statements, which immediately follow this section.

Government-Wide Financial Statements
• At the close of the fiscal year, the assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $55.9 million (Total net position in the government wide.)
• As of June 30, 2025, the City’s governmental activities reported a net position of $40.4 million (See Table 2).
• As of June 30, 2025, the City’s business-type activities reported a net position of $15.5 million (See Table 2).

Fund Financial Statements
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $12.5 million.
• Within the governmental funds ending fund balance, $1.4 million was restricted for capital projects including streets and parks, $3.6 million is reserved for housing, and $4.5 million is unassigned. (See Governmental Funds Balance Sheet June 30, 2025).

The General Fund reported total fund balance of $7.0 million, of which $85 thousand is non-spendable, $2.5 million is committed for emergencies and $4.5 million is unassigned. The continuing overall increase in governmental fund balance indicates financial success for the year.

This annual report consists of five parts – management’s discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, required supplementary information, a supplemental informational section that presents combining statements for non-major governmental funds as well as the schedule of Measure S revenues and uses, and the statistical section. The financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the City:
• The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both long-term and short-term information about the City's overall financial status.
• The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the City government, reporting the City's operations in more detail than the government-wide statements. • The governmental funds statements tell how general government services like public safety were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. • Proprietary fund statements offer short and long-term financial information about the activities the government operates like businesses, such as the water and wastewater system.

The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide data that are more detailed. The statements are followed by a section of required supplementary information that further explains and supports the information in the financial statements. In addition to these required elements, we have included a section for combining statements that provide details about the City’s nonmajor funds, each of which are added together and presented in single columns in the basic financial statements.

Government-Wide Statements:

The government-wide statements report information about the City using accounting methods like those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net position includes all the government’s assets and liabilities. All the current year’s revenues and expenses are accounted for in the statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid.

The two government-wide statements report the City’s net position and its respective changes.

The Statement of Net Position – presents information on all the City’s Assets and Deferred Outflows of Resources, and Liabilities and Deferred Inflows of Resources with the difference reported as Net Position and is one way to measure the City's financial health, or position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City's net position are an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively.

The Statement of Activities presents the most recent fiscal year changes in the City’s net position. 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. The statement reports items resulting in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes, and earned but unused vacation leave) as revenues and expenses.

The government-wide financial statements of the City are divided into two categories:
• Governmental activities – Most of the City's basic services are included here, such as police, streets, parks, community development, and general administration. Property taxes, sales taxes, and state and federal grants finance most of these activities.
• Business-type activities – The City charges fees to customers to help it cover the costs of certain services it provides. The City's water and wastewater system are included here. 53 of 324
Management Discussion & Analysis
Fund Financial Statements:

The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City's significant funds, not the City as a whole. Funds are accounting devices that the City uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for those purposes. The City has two kinds of funds:
• Governmental funds – Most of the City's basic services are included in governmental funds. The City supports individual governmental funds organized according to their type (special revenue, debt service, capital projects and permanent funds). Information is presented separately in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues for the City’s General Fund, Inclusionary Housing Fund, Low Income Housing Fund, Grants Fund, City Capital Projects Fund, and the Streets Bond Project Fund all of which are major funds. All other governmental type funds are aggregated and are presented in a separate single column in the fund financial statements.

The Governmental Funds Statements focus on (1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in and out and (2) the balances left at year-end that are available for spending.

Consequently, the governmental funds statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent soon to finance the City's programs.

Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of the government-wide statements, we supply additional information at the bottom of the governmental funds statement, or on the subsequent page, that explains the relationship (or differences) between them.

Individual and combining fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided as supplementary information in this report.
• Proprietary funds are used to account for services for which the City charges external, or internal customers with the intent to recover all or most of their costs through user fees and charges. The City supports the following two types of proprietary funds:
• Enterprise Funds report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for Water and Wastewater. • Internal Service Funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and distribute costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City’s internal service funds account for Vehicle Replacement, and Compensated Absences. Since these services benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they are consolidated within governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements Proprietary funds supply the same type of information as the Government-wide Financial Statements, only in more detail. The proprietary funds financial statements provide separate information for Water and Wastewater. The two internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary funds’ financial statements.

Fiduciary Funds account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the Government-wide Financial Statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. Fiduciary fund accounting is like proprietary fund accounting. The City reported two fiduciary funds. One Private Purpose Trust Fund and one Custodial Fund.

Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

Required Supplementary Information (RSI) is presented in addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes. This required information includes the Budgetary Comparison Schedules for General Fund and major Special Revenue Funds, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, Schedule of Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability, Schedule of Employer Plan Contributions for Pension, and the Schedule of Changes in Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios. 54 of 324

The City’s total net position (government and business-type activities) increased by $0.8 million, or 1.5% during the fiscal year.

Net investment in Capital Assets is the largest portion of the City’s net position. It is comprised of capital assets (i.e., land, building, roads, machinery, and equipment) less any related outstanding long-term debt used to acquire those assets, which the City has incurred with the lease obligations for the streets improvements. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; as such, these assets are not available for future spending. The $2.6 million, or 5.7% decrease in net investment in capital assets was due to slowdown in cost of expenditures for capital improvements over prior years while completing some significant Capital in Progress leading to historically higher depreciation versus new assets.

Additionally, there were disposals of approximately $400K in assets no longer in service.

Restricted Net Position of $6.4 million represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on their use, or by enabling legislation. Restricted net position is comprised of amounts restricted for housing ($4.8 million or 75.6%) capital, street and park projects ($1.5 million or 23.7%), and other restricted ($0.4 million, or 0.7%). Restricted net position decreased by $3.6 million, or 36.0%, primarily due to use of $2.5 million of funds held for public safety in the prior year related to reserves for emergency operations which is now Financial Analysis of the City as a Whole
55 of 324
Management Discussion & Analysis
reclassed as unrestricted, $0.5 million in funds held in the street bonds project funding and reserved to pay for improvements in future streets as well as completion of major construction for the Park and Ride lot which held $0.7 million in restricted funds for the prior year.

Unrestricted Net Position in the amount of $6.7 million represents a net position of the City that is not restricted for any project or purpose. The increase of $6.1 million, or 1023%, was primarily due to the reclassification of the funds held for emergency from restricted to unrestricted from the prior year as well as increased net position overall for the business type activities due to excess revenues over expenditures as we try to improve the health of the funds overall for future capital infrastructure maintenance.

Total Current and Other Assets decreased by $1.4 million, or 1.8% due to; a decreased outstanding receivable which were approximately $2.3 million as of June 30, 2025, and in the prior year were over $3.2 million, a $0.9 million or 28% change. The decrease was related primarily to the collection of funds outstanding for grant reimbursement. Other significant changes in assets include the increases in leases receivable totaling an increase over prior year of approximately $0.3 million related to the renegotiated cell tower lease and the reclassification of the property held for resale from Noncurrent to Current as we are currently negotiating with the designer and intend on completing a sale soon. Decreases in total capital assets, net, were $0.9 million or 1.7% over the prior year. Most capital assets were city improvements for streets and parks as described on page 32.

Total Current and Other Liabilities decreased over the prior year with a change of $1.3 million or 6.5%. For current liabilities, there was no significant change over the prior year. Non-current liabilities decreased by $1.3 million or 7.6%. This is largely due to a $0.6 million or 10.2% decrease in Net Pension Liability, and a $0.5 million or 5.1% decrease in Long-term Debt. The City has implemented an unfunded pension liability policy and has continued to make additional discretionary payments to minimize the City liability and further reduce the negative amortization of CalPERS losses.

Deferred Outflows of Resources decreased $1.9 million and Deferred Inflows of Resources decreased $2.1 million due to changes in pension plan contributions and future liabilities.

The following table is a condensed comparative analysis of the changes in net position of governmental and business type activities for fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, and 2025.

Management Discussion & Analysis
Analysis of the changes in Net Position
Governmental and Business Type Activities decreased the City’s net position by $0.2 million, or 0.4% to $55.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, with Governmental Activities accounting for 72.0% of the City’s total net position. These changes are discussed in more detail below.

Analysis of Governmental Activities
Governmental activities: Net position of the City's governmental activities decreased by $0.1 million to $40.4 million in the current year.

Revenues: Total revenues for governmental activities decreased by $0.1 million or 0.7% when compared with the prior year. Revenues are divided into two categories: Program Revenues, which derive from the program itself such as fees and charges or from outside the City’s tax base, and General Revenues that are not program related such as taxes.

Program Revenues showed an overall increase from the previous year of $0.2 million, or 2.9%, to $3.5 million. • Charges for services increased by $0.3 million mainly due to more building permits being issued as new projects have commenced.
• Operating grants and contributions decreased by $0.3 million related to planning grants for priority development areas or housing element plans. Meanwhile, capital grants and contributions decreased by $0.2 million, primarily related to the one-time grant funds received and expended in fiscal year 2023/24 mainly for Public Works grants for streets projects.

General Revenues remained flat with an overall decrease of less than $50 thousand or 0.01% mainly due to decreases in Sales taxes and investment earnings and other revenues of $84 thousand and $99 thousand respectively. These decreases are primarily due to economic uncertainty and changing consumer spending as well as decreasing interest rates. These decreases were offset by increased Property taxes of $0.1 million.

Property tax increases are consistent with the valuations of property assessments and inclusion of new housing developments at higher valuations. The other major change in revenues came from Cannabis Tax which increased due to the expansion of these business activities.

Expenses Total expenses for governmental activities decreased $0.7 million or 4.7% from the prior year. The primary reason for these decreases is due to decreased community development expenses related to special grants programs in the prior year for the Santero Way Specific Plan and the Housing Element requirements from the State of California. The decrease in public safety expenses related to reduced training requirements which were required in the prior year and incurred additional training expenses and overtime as well as lower vehicle expenses as the department held off on new vehicle purchases while they evaluated equipment needs due to higher vehicle costs in the prior year. These decreases were mainly offset by increased public works expenses related to the ongoing streets and new park improvement projects at Putman Park. Interest and expense on longterm debt have remained constant at $0.3 million. Other general government expenditures increased by $0.3 million, due mainly to increased employee salaries and benefits.

Analysis of Business Type Activities
These resources cannot be used for governmental activities, as they are restricted for the continuing operations of the water and wastewater systems. The net position of business-type activities remained flat at $15.5 million due to the following:

Revenues: Total revenues for business-type activities increased $0.5 million or 8.5% due to higher water consumption following the end of drought restrictions, and increased fees in line with our Water and Wastewater Rate Plan. There was also increased consumption related to Wastewater, and increased base charges for service.

Expenses: Total expenses for business-type activities increased by approximately $0.4 million or 6.7%. This increase is primarily due to additional cashouts following the retirement of a long-serving member of staff, the hiring of an additional Public Works laborer, and the increased costs of water purchases from Sonoma Water and wastewater treatment by Santa Rosa.

Management Discussion & Analysis
TABLE 4
Government Wide – Percentage of Revenues and Expenses by Account Type As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Funds are accounting devices that the City uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for purposes. The fund financial statements focus on individual parts of the City government, reporting City operations in more detail than the government-wide statements.

Governmental Funds
The City’s governmental funds provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. The City’s governmental funds reported a combined fund balance on June 30, 2025, of $12.5 million, a decrease of $1.0 million over the end of the previous fiscal year as restated. (See Statement of Revenues Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Government Funds for the year ending June 30, 2025).

The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City and the overall fund balance decreased by just under $0.9 million or 11.3%. This decrease is mostly attributed to operationally almost flat revenues which only increased $69 thousand or less than 0.7% over the prior year while City expenditures continued to increase by over $331 thousand or 3.7%. The City continues to have excess operating surplus and continued to work towards our community goals and decisively used fund balance reserves to pay for projects including the street improvements and Putnam park improvements.

The changes within the City’s other major funds include:
• Inclusionary Housing Fund with a year-end fund balance of almost $3.3 million, an increase of $0.1 million due to outstanding interest accruals for the outstanding affordable housing loans to Burbank Housing. This balance is fully reserved for affordable housing.
• Low Income Housing Fund has an ending fund balance of $0.0 million. The Low-Income Housing Fund balance is accrued and has been deferred for a future period to be used for low-income housing projects. • Grants Fund has a year-ending fund balance of $8.5 thousand due to transfers of funds from the General Fund for matching grant purposes. These funds are expected to be expended within the next fiscal year. • The City Capital Projects Fund with a year-end fund balance of just over $0.3 million, which is an 11.5% increase from the prior year. This fund balance is retained for future capital projects.

See additional detail at the Statement of Revenues Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Government Funds for the year ending June 30, 2025.

Financial Analysis of the City’s Fund Statements
58 of 324
Management Discussion & Analysis
The City’s non-major funds ended Fiscal Year 2024/25 with a fund balance of just under $1.9 million, a decrease of $0.2 million. This is mainly due to the use of Streets Bond Fund, as those funds have been expended for ongoing City street projects. Most of the remaining balances are restricted for use on street capital projects ($1.4 million) and affordable housing projects ($0.3 million). (See Statement of Revenues Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Government Funds for the year ending June 30, 2025).

Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the Government-Wide Financial Statements, but in more detail. Factors concerning these funds have been previously addressed in the discussion of business-type activities under the Government-Wide Statements.

Over the course of the year, the City Council revised the City budget several times. These budget amendments fall into two categories; (1) Changes made at the mid-year budget review for unanticipated revenues and costs; (2) Increases in appropriations for projects or contracts as needed to manage and prevent budget overruns.

For the General Fund actual revenues were below budget by approximately $38 thousand, while actual operating expenditures were below budget by almost $0.6 million due to previously encumbered funds for contract services being released. The final fund balance for the fiscal year compared to the final budget had a positive variance of $1.1 million.

For a more detailed description of budgetary changes and variances, please see the Budgetary Comparison Schedule for the General Fund, included within the Required Supplementary Information section of this report.

At the end of 2024/25, the City had invested $53.2 million (net of accumulated depreciation) in a broad range of capital assets, including equipment, vehicles, buildings, park facilities, and water and wastewater systems (See Table 5). This year’s major capital assets additions included:
• Putnam Park Improvements $885,215
• Sidewalk Gap Closure Project $888,588
• City Streets Rehabilitation and Maintenance for $552,082 • City Council Chambers AV Retrofit $302,352
The City’s Capital Assets as of June 30, 2024, and 2025 is provided next and additional information relative to capital assets is contained in Note 1 Section J and Note 6 of the general-purpose financial statements.

Long-term Obligations
2022 Lease Obligations
As of June 30, 2025, the City holds lease obligation debt in the amount just over $10.3 million, of which approximately $0.5 million is considered a current liability. The 2022A Lease obligation was for $6.9 million for street improvements and the 2022B Lease obligation in the amount of $3.4 million was for a CalPERS UAL Prepayment. See footnote 7 within the basic financial statements for further detail.

Compensated absences:

As of June 30, 2025, approximately $0.5 million was owed to government employees for vacation leave and other compensated absences. These benefits are recorded as a liability to the City as the benefits are earned by the employees if the leave is attributable to past service and it is probable that the employer will compensate the employees for the benefits through paid time off or some other means, such as cash payments at termination or retirement.

Net Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Liability GASB Statement No. 68 significantly revamped the accounting and financial reporting for government employers that provide pension benefits and other post-employment benefits. Statement 68 as it pertains to the CalPERS Pension Benefit has required a “net pension liability” of $5.6 million to be reported on the statement of net position for the City as of June 30, 2025.

For the City's OPEB benefits, as now defined for reporting under GASB Statement No. 75, a $0.2 million liability was also reported within the total OPEB liability as of June 30, 2025 (see Statement of Net Position). More detailed information about long-term debt activity is included in Notes 9 and 10. 60 of 324
Management Discussion & Analysis
The City annually prepares a financial plan, which focuses on the long-term financial viability and allows decision makers to understand the future impact of policy decisions made today. Multi-year planning provides both an early warning of adverse financial trends and more time to implement changes to ensure better outcomes.

Budget development is guided by a series of policies adopted by the City Council, which guides long-term planning, minimum reserve levels, employee compensation, cash and debt management, and utility rates. The City's first biennial budget covering both fiscal years 2025/26 and 2026/27 and also includes the Multi-Year Capital Improvement Program budget can be found at https://www.cotaticity.org/188/City-Budgets.

The budget was based on these key assumptions:
• Property Tax - The budget projection for 2025/26 assumes a 1.0% increase in property tax collections, due to improved resale market and county assessor appraisals. • Sales Tax (Bradley Burns and Measure S) - The budget projection for 2025/26 assumes continued modest decline due to decreased sales subject to sales tax for the year. • Water and Wastewater revenues increase slightly due to increased rates offset by continued decreased consumption and connection fees due to uncertain timing of new development projects. • Usage of up to $2.8 million for continued street improvement projects funded by the General Fund and Grants Fund.
• Salaries and benefits were projected to increase based on negotiations with labor unions as well as increased staffing costs such as workers compensation insurance, health benefits and pension contributions.
• Increased general liability insurance for the City due to increasing rates in the insurance market.

Although the City has made considerable progress, unfunded liabilities will continue to present challenges to longterm financial solvency and service level solvency. As such the City is committed to applying financial strategies as outlined in our Unfunded Liability Management Policy to address this ongoing risk area.

This financial report is designed to provide our citizens, taxpayers, customers, investors, and creditors with a general overview of the City's finances and to demonstrate the City's accountability for the money it receives.

to the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position
June 30, 2025
Total Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds $ 12,534,996 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position were different because:

Capital assets used in governmental activities were not current financial resources. Therefore, they were not reported in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet. The capital assets were adjusted as follows:

Capital assets 62,156,898
Less: accumulated depreciation (21,329,748)
Total Capital Assets 40,827,150
Interest payable on long-term debt did not require current financial resources. Therefore, interest payable was not reported as a liability in Governmental Funds Balance Sheet.

The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are included in governmental activities. 470,612
The differences from benefit plan assumptions and estimates versus actuals are not included in the plan's actuarial study until the next fiscal year and are reported as deferred inflows or deferred outflows of resources in the statement of net position. 724,954 Liabilities were reported for certain revenues that were not available to pay current period expenditures and were reported as unearned in the fund statements. 1,230,542 Long-term obligations were not due and payable in the current period.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds $ (953,162) Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities and Changes in net position were different because:

Governmental Funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the Government-Wide Statement of Activities and Changes in net position, the cost of those assets was allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.

Capital outlay 2,271,627
Depreciation expense (2,449,698)
Certain revenues were not recorded or were deferred inflows in the governmental funds because they did not meet the revenue recognition criteria of availability. However, they were included as revenue in the Government-Wide Statement of Activities under the full accrual basis. 23,006 In governmental funds, actual contributions to benefit plans are reported as expenditures in the year incurred. However, in the government-wide statement of activities, only the current year benefit expense as noted in the plans' valuation reports is reported as an expense, as adjusted for deferred inflows and outflows of resources. 799,209
Repayment of long-term debt was an expenditure in governmental funds, but the repayment reduced long-term liabilities in the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position. 515,440 Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of vehicles and equipment replacement to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are included in governmental activities. (294,783)
Interest expense on long-term debt was reported in the Government-Wide Statement of Activities and Changes in net position, but it did not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, interest expense was not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. The following amount represented the net change in accrued interest from from prior year. 6,100

NOTES TO THE BASIC

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
84 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the City of Cotati, California (City) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described below.

A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City is a municipal corporation governed by an elected five-member City Council. The accompanying financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. The City has no component units that are blended or discretely presented in these financial statements. The City’s former redevelopment agency was dissolved by law effective February 1, 2012. The City elected to serve as the successor custodian of the residual assets and obligations of the former agency. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and financial transactions of the former agency were transferred on the effective date to a fiduciary fund (private purpose trust fund) and are accounted for in these financial statements as a fiduciary fund. These fiduciary funds are excluded from the City’s government-wide statement of net position, statement of activities, and fund statements because fiduciary funds are not available for use by the City.

B. Basis of Presentation, Accounting and Measurement Focus The basic financial statements of the City of Cotati, California, (the City) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental agencies.

The Governmental Accounting Standards Boards (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the City's accounting policies are described below.

The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. These funds are established for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or certain objectives in accordance with specific regulations, restrictions, or limitations. 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.

Government-Wide Financial Statements
The City's government-wide financial statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position. These statements present summaries of governmental and business-type activities for the City. Fiduciary activities of the City are not included in these statements.

Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.

These statements are presented on an "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City's assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred 85 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
inflows of resources, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Certain types of transactions are reported as program revenues for the City in three categories:
• Charges for services
• Operating grants and contributions
• Capital grants and contributions
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34 in-regards-to interfund activities, payables, and receivables. All internal balances in the Statement of Net Position have been eliminated except those representing balances between the governmental activities and the business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the total primary government column. In the Statement of Activities, internal fund transactions have been eliminated; however, those transactions between governmental and business-type activities have not been eliminated. The following interfund activities have been eliminated:
• Due to/from other funds
• Advances to/from other funds
• Transfers in/Transfers out
The City applies all applicable GASB Pronouncements including all Interpretations currently in effect.

Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for all major governmental funds and non-major funds aggregated. An accompanying schedule is presented to reconcile and explain the differences in net position as presented in these statements to the net position presented in the government-wide financial statements. The City has presented all major funds that met the applicable criteria.

All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets, deferred outflows of resources, current liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are included on the balance sheets. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.

Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period.

Accordingly, revenues are recorded when received in cash, except that revenues subject to accrual (up to 60 days after year-end) are recognized when due. The primary revenue sources, which have been treated 86 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
as susceptible to accrual by the City, are property taxes, taxpayer-assessed tax revenues (sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, etc.), grant revenues and earnings on investments. Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred.

The City reports the following funds as major funds:

General Fund
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Grants Fund
This fund is a special revenue fund established to account for the construction of projects that utilize federal, state, regional, and local grants funds other than CDBG. City staff applies for and receives competitive funding grants for various City projects that meet specific criteria Inclusionary Housing Fund
This fund is a special revenue fund used to account for in lieu impact fees restricted in use to inclusionary housing purposes.

Low Income Housing Fund
This fund is a special revenue fund established to conduct the dissolution operations related to lowincome housing assets and activities of the former Redevelopment Agency.

City Capital Projec Fund
This fund consists of various types of financial resources that are utilized to build, renovate, or purchase equipment, property, or facilities, including buildings, parks, information technology systems, and nonwater/sewer infrastructure and which are to be used to benefit the public.

Additionally, the City reports the following nonmajor fund types of governmental funds:

Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted, committed or assigned to specific purposes other than debt service or capital projects.

Debt Service Funds
Debt service funds are used to accumulate resources for repayment of lease arrangements.

Capital Project Funds
Capital project funds account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditures for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets in governmental funds.

Proprietary Funds
In the fund financial statements, proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.

Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the fund financial statements, proprietary funds are presented using the “economic resources measurement focus”. This means all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) and deferred inflows of resources associated with their 87 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
activities are included on their balance sheets. 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 up essentially equal value. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies, taxes, and investment earnings result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities. Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the proprietary fund financial statements.

A column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, internal service balances and activities have been combined with the governmental activities in the GovernmentWide Financial Statements.

The City has the following enterprise fund that have been reported as major:

Water Fund
This fund is used to account for the operations of the City’s water distribution system.

Wastewater Fund
This fund is used to account for the operations of the City’s wastewater collection activities.

The City also reports the following internal service funds:

Vehicle Replacement Internal Service Fund
This is used to finance and account for vehicles for each department and manage costs associated with the acquisition of necessary capital assets.

Compensated Absences Fund
This is used to account for the resources accumulated to fund compensated absences such as vacation and sick pay and report the related liabilities.

Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary fund financial statements consist of a Statement of Fiduciary Net Position and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. Fiduciary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting.

The City has two types of fiduciary funds, a private-purpose trust fund and a custodial fund. Private purpose trust funds account for all other trust arrangements in which principal and income benefit individuals, private organizations, and other governments (i.e. unclaimed property/escheat property).

Custodial funds are used to account for the assets held for distribution by the City as an agent for another entity for which the City has a custodial responsibility and accounts for the flow of assets. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the Government-wide financial statements, but are presented in the separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements.

The City reports the following fiduciary funds:

Successor Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund
The Successor Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund accounts for all of the assets, liabilities, and financial activity of the Successor Agency to the City’s former Redevelopment Agency that was dissolved effective February 1, 2012.

South Sonoma Business Park Series 2019 Custodial Fund
This fund is used to facilitate a special assessment debt service charged to landowners for the financing provided to develop the business park.

C. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City pools cash resources from all funds in order to facilitate the management of cash. The balance in the pooled cash account is available to meet current operating requirements. Cash in excess of current requirements is invested in various interest-bearing accounts and other investments for varying terms.

The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are combined with investments and displayed as Cash and Investments. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all pooled cash and investments (consisting of cash and investments and restricted cash and investments) held by the City as cash and cash equivalents because the pool is used essentially as a demand deposit account from the standpoint of the funds. The City also considers all non-pooled cash and investments (consisting of cash with fiscal agent and restricted cash and investments held by fiscal agent) as cash and cash equivalents because investments meet the criteria for cash equivalents defined above.

Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures - In accordance with GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Disclosures (Amendment of GASB Statement No. 3), certain disclosure requirements, if applicable, for Deposits and Investment Risks in the following areas: Interest Rate Risk, Overall Credit Risk, Custodial Credit Risk, Concentrations of Credit Risk, and Foreign Currency Risk.

Other disclosures are specified including use of certain methods to present deposits and investments, highly sensitive investments, credit quality at year-end and other disclosures. The City participates in an investment pool managed by the State of California titled Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which has invested a portion of the pool funds in Structured Notes and Asset Backed Securities. LAIF's investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing these investments. In addition, these Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities are subject to market risk as to change in interest rates.

Investments are recorded at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application. Accordingly, the change in fair value of investments is recognized as an increase or decrease to investment assets and investment income. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. 89 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
In determining this amount, three valuation techniques are available:
• Market approach - This approach uses prices generated for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

The most common example is an investment in a public security traded in an active exchange such as the NYSE.
• Cost approach - This technique determines the amount required to replace the current asset. This approach may be ideal for valuing donations of capital assets or historical treasures. • Income approach - This approach converts future amounts (such as cash flows) into a current discounted amount.

Each of these valuation techniques requires inputs to calculate a fair value. Observable inputs have been maximized in fair value measures, and unobservable inputs have been minimized.

D. Restricted Cash and Investments
Certain restricted cash and investments are held by fiscal agents for the redemption of bonded debt, for acquisition and construction of capital projects, and to meet bond indenture debt reserve requirements. Cash and investments are also restricted for deposits held for others within the enterprise funds.

E. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items. In governmental funds, prepaid items are accounted for using the consumption method and a portion of fund balance equal to the prepaid items has been offset by nonspendable fund balance to indicate that is not available for appropriation.

F. Interfund Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” or “advances to/from other funds.” Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable government funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. The City considers all trade and property tax receivables to be fully collectible and therefore no allowance for uncollectible accounts is considered necessary.

Interfund loans are formal agreements where one fund lends money to another fund with a documented expectation of repayment. Interfund loans are typically used for temporary financing for specific projects or to cover cash shortfalls, and they are expected to be repaid with interest.

Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” G. Receivables
Billed, but unpaid, services provided are recorded as accounts receivable. Revenues earned but not collected by year-end are accrued. No allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable has been provided in the governmental funds as management has determined that uncollectible accounts have historically 90 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
been immaterial and the direct write-off method does not result in a material difference from the allowance method.

However, in the Water Fund, the City reported an allowance of $49,707 for accounts that may not be collected within the next fiscal year.

H. Notes Receivable
In the City’s Low Income Housing Fund, loans are made to qualified individuals and businesses within prescribed project areas for the purpose of housing acquisition. Repayments of the outstanding loans are classified as a revenue source in the Low Income Housing Fund. The portion of loans receivable deemed to be unavailable have been offset by Unavailable Revenues in the accompanying financial statements, which is a part of deferred inflows of resources.

I. Leases Receivable
The City’s leases receivable are measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during the lease term. Deferred inflow of resources are recorded for the leases. The deferred inflow of resources are recorded at the initiation of the lease in an amount equal to the initial recording of the lease receivable plus incentive payments received. The deferred inflow of resources are amortized on a straightline basis over the term of the lease.

J. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental-type or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 ($25,000 for infrastructure type assets) and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. Under the GASB 34 Implementation Rules, the City is a Phase 3 entity and was not required to record infrastructure assets existing or acquired prior to July 1, 2002 at the date these new financial reporting standards were implemented; and the City has not recorded such assets. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.

Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of the business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed.

Intangible right-to-use assets are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, unless the lease contains a purchase option that the City has determined is reasonably certain of being exercised, then the lease asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset.

Intangible right-to-use subscription assets are amortized over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying asset.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings and improvements 30 Years
Public domain infrastructure 50 Years
System infrastructure 10-40 Years
Vehicles and equipment 5-10 Years
Other Assets 2-5 Years
K. Deferred Outflows/Deferred Inflows
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position or 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 assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.

In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position or 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 assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.

L. Interest Payable
In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, interest payable of long-term debt is recognized as an incurred liability for governmental fund types. The City has not allocated the interest on long-term debt to departments. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types do not recognize the interest payable when the liability is incurred. Interest on long-term debt is recorded in the fund statements when payment is made.

M. Compensated Absences
The City recognizes a liability for compensated absences for leave time that (1) has been earned for services previously rendered by employees, (2) accumulates and is allowed to be carried over to subsequent years, and (3) is more likely than not to be used as time off or settled during or upon separation from employment. Based on the criteria listed, two types of leave qualify for liability recognition for compensated absences – vacation and sick leave. The liability for compensated absences is reported as incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. The liability for compensated absences includes salary-related taxes and benefits, where applicable.

Vacation
The City’s policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation benefits, which are eligible for payment at the employee’s current pay rate upon separation from employment.

Sick Leave
The City’s policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused sick leave. All sick leave lapses when employees leave the employ of the City and, upon separation from service, no monetary obligation exists. However, a liability for estimated value of sick leave that will be used by employees as time off is included in the liability for compensated absences.

N. Deferred Compensation
City employees may defer a portion of their compensation under City sponsored a Deferred Compensation Plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Under this Plan, participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of their compensation until distributed to them; distributions may be made only at termination, retirement, death or in an emergency as defined by the Plans. The laws governing deferred compensation plan assets require plan assets to be held by a Trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. Since the assets held under these plans are not the City's property and are not subject to City control, they have been excluded from these financial statements. The City has determined that this plan does not meet the reporting requirements of GASB Statement No. 97 - Certain Component Unit Criteria, And Accounting And Financial Reporting For Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans and GASB Statement No. 84 - Fiduciary Activities.

Employees make contributions through payroll deductions, and the City provides matching contribution for certain groups of employees as negotiated within each MOU. Full-time regular employees with Tier 2 or Tier 3 ("PEPRA") pension benefits are eligible to participate in a City matching deferred compensation plan. Provided the total City contribution to Tier 2 or Tier 3 pension benefits remains under twenty percent (20%) of the employee's base salary, the City will match employee contributions to the City's deferred compensation plan, up to a maximum of three percent (3%) of base salary. During fiscal year 2025, the City incurred $77,309 of expense and had a zero related liability as of June 30, 2025.

O. Long-Term Liabilities
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental or business-type activities.

Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Debt issuance costs are expensed in year incurred. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financial sources. Premiums received on debt issuance are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuance reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

P. Lease Liabilities
When applicable, the City recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right‐to‐use lease asset (capital asset) in the government‐wide financial statements.

At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight‐line basis over its useful life.
93 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments. • The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
• The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.

The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.

Lease assets are reported separately with capital assets as right of use assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.

Q. Benefit Plans
Pension Expense
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (the Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS.

For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

For this report, the following timeframes are used:

Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Other Postemployment Benefits
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s plan (OPEB Plan) and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles required that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes.

For this report, the following timeframes are used:

Valuation Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Date June 30, 2025
Measurement Period July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025

City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
R. Fund Balances
In accordance with Government Accounting Standards Board 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, the City classifies governmental fund balances as follows:

Nonspendable
Nonspendable fund balance represents balances set aside to indicate items that do not represent available, spendable resources even though they are a component of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained intact, such as Permanent Funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids, notes receivable, leases receivable in excess of deferred inflows of resources and land held for redevelopment are included. However, if proceeds realized from the sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed, or assigned, then Nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.

Restricted
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for specific purpose.

Encumbrances and nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable resources.

Committed
The City Council, as the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to the constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as an ordinance or resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment. City Council action to commit fund balance needs to occur within the fiscal reporting period; however the specific amounts can be determined subsequently. Encumbrances and nonspendable amounts subject to Council commitments are included along with spendable resources. • Contingency Reserve - The City Council has established by resolution to allow the City to weather unpredicted cyclical and rapid downtowns in the economy. These funds would be available for use in such conditions to mitigate negative economic fiscal impact or State takeaways. An economic downtown would entail a projected and/or sudden drop in core revenues of equal to or greater than 10% and/or a change in economic parameters that cause a material change in expenditures of 10% or more, or the occurrence of local natural disaster or unexpected financial claim requiring the immediate use of cash balances.

Assigned
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council or its designee, the City Manager or Director of Administrative Services, and may be changed at the discretion of the City Council or its designee. This category includes encumbrances; nonspendable amounts, when it is the City’s intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific purpose, and residual fund balances, if any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects, and Debt Service Funds, which have not been restricted or committed.

Unassigned
Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned. This includes the residual general fund balance and residual fund deficits, if any, of other governmental funds.
95 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
Flow Assumption / Spending Order Policy
When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the City considers restricted funds to be spent first. When expenditures are incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the City considers amounts to be spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds, as needed, unless the City Council has directed otherwise.

S. Net Position

In the government-wide financial statements, net position is classified in the following categories:

Net Investment in Capital Assets
This amount consists of capital assets net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt that are attributed to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of the assets. In addition, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets or related debt also are included in the net investment in capital assets component of net position.

Restricted Net Position
This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments. These include developer fees received for use on capital projects, debt service requirements, and community development projects.

Unrestricted Net Position
This amount is all net position that does not meet the definition of "net investment in capital assets" or "restricted net position." The detail of amounts reported for each of the above defined net position categories is reported in the government-wide Statement of Net Position.

Use of Restricted/Unrestricted Net Position
When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position are available, the City's policy is to apply restricted net position first.

T. Interfund Transactions
Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenue, expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursed fund. All other interfund transactions, except for interfund services provided and used and reimbursements, are reported as transfers. Nonrecurring or nonroutine permanent transfers of equity are reported as residual equity transfers. All other interfund transfers are reported as transfers.

U. Property Taxes and Special Assessments
Property taxes are levied as of March 1 on property values assessed as of the same date. State statutes provide that the property tax rate be limited generally to one percent of market value, be levied by only the County, and be shared by applicable jurisdictions. The County of Sonoma collects the taxes and distributes them to taxing jurisdictions on the basis of assessed valuations subject to voter-approved debt.

Property taxes are due on November 1 and March 1, and become delinquent on December 10 and April

10. The City receives property taxes pursuant to an arrangement with the County known as the “Teeter 96 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
Plan”. Under the plan, the County assumes responsibility for the collection of delinquent taxes and pays the full allocation to the City. The City recognizes property tax revenues in the fiscal year in which they are due to the City.

V. Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund, inclusionary housing fund, and debt service fund. The capital projects fund is appropriated on a project-length basis. Other special revenue funds do not have appropriated budgets since other means control the use of these resources (e.g., grant awards and endowment requirements) and sometimes span a period of more than one fiscal year. Low income housing fund holds balance sheet activity for notes issued for inclusionary housing projects, as such it does not have revenue and expenditures or related adopted budget.

The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department. The government’s department heads may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between departments require the approval of the Council. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the department level.

Appropriations in all budgeted funds lapse at the end of the fiscal year even if they have related encumbrances. Encumbrances are commitments related to unperformed (executory) contracts for goods or services (i.e., purchase orders, contracts, and commitments). Encumbrance accounting is utilized to the extent necessary to assure effective budgetary control and accountability and to facilitate effective cash planning and control. While all appropriations and encumbrances lapse at year end, valid outstanding encumbrances (those for which performance under the executory contract is expected in the next year) are re-appropriated and become part of the subsequent year’s budget pursuant to state regulations.

W. Encumbrances
Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in all budgeted funds.

Encumbrances outstanding at year end are reported as a restriction, commitment or assignment of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities and are reappropriated in the following year. Unexpended appropriations lapse at year end and must be reappropriated in the following year.

X. Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue arises when assets are received before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.

Grants and entitlements received before eligibility requirements are met are recorded as unearned revenue. In the governmental fund financial statements, receivables associated with non-exchange transactions that will not be collected within the availability period have been recorded as deferred inflows from unavailable revenue.

Y. Use of Estimates
The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. 97 of 324

Z. Implementation of New Accounting Pronouncements
GASB Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures
This Statement requires a government to assess whether a concentration or constraint makes the primary government reporting unit or other reporting units that report a liability for revenue debt vulnerable to the risk of a substantial impact. Additionally, this Statement requires a government to assess whether an event or events associated with a concentration or constraint that could cause the substantial impact have occurred, have begun to occur, or are more likely than not to begin to occur within 12 months of the date the financial statements are issued.

If a government determines that those criteria for disclosure have been met for a concentration or constraint, it should disclose information in notes to financial statements in sufficient detail to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature of the circumstances disclosed and the government’s vulnerability to the risk of a substantial impact. The disclosure should include descriptions for (1) the concentration or constraint (2) each event associated with the concentration or constraint that could cause a substantial impact if the event had occurred or had begun to occur prior to the issuance of the financial statements (3) actions taken by the government prior to the issuance of the financial statements to mitigate the risk.

The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the City’s financial statements and management determined there were no were concentrations or constraints that make the City vulnerable to the risk of substantial impact.

AA.Upcoming New Accounting Pronouncements
The City is currently analyzing its accounting practices to identify the potential impact on the financial statements of the following GASB Statements:

GASB Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements This Statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability.

This Statement establishes new accounting and financial reporting requirements or modifies existing requirements related to (a) Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) (b) Unusual or infrequent items (c) Presentation of the proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position (d) Information about major component units in basic financial statements (5) Budgetary comparison information (6) Financial trend information in the statistical section. The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025, and all reporting periods thereafter.

GASB Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets This Statement requires certain types of capital assets to be disclosed separately in the capital assets note disclosures required by Statement 34. Lease assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 87, Leases, and intangible right-to-use assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements, should be disclosed separately by major class of underlying asset in the capital as-sets note disclosures.

accordance with Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements, also should be separately disclosed. In addition, this Statement requires intangible assets other than those three types to be disclosed separately by major class.

This Statement also requires additional disclosures for capital assets held for sale. A capital asset is a capital asset held for sale if (a) the government has decided to pursue the sale of the capital asset and (b) it is probable that the sale will be finalized within one year of the financial statement date. Governments should consider relevant factors to evaluate the likelihood of the capital asset being sold within the established time frame. This Statement requires that capital assets held for sale be evaluated each reporting period. Governments should disclose (1) the ending balance of capital assets held for sale, with separate disclosure for historical cost and accumulated depreciation by major class of asset, and (2) the carrying amount of debt for which the capital assets held for sale are pledged as collateral for each major class of asset. The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025, and all reporting periods thereafter.

A. Cash Deposits
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City's cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest, and places the City ahead of general creditors of the institution. The fair value of pledged securities must equal at least 110 percent of the City's cash deposits. California law also allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes that have a value of 150 percent of the City's total cash deposits. The City has 99 of 324

waived the collateral requirements for cash deposits which are fully insured to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

The bank balances before reconciling items totaled $999,089 at June 30, 2025 and were different from carrying amounts due to deposits in transit and outstanding checks. The amount uninsured was $749,089, which was collateralized by securities held by pledging financial institutions. The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required to be held by fiscal agents. Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated to the various funds based on the period-end cash and investment balances. Interest income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.

B. Fair Value Measurements
GASB 72 established a hierarchy of inputs to the valuation techniques with three levels:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 inputs are quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other than quoted prices that are not observable
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, such as a property valuation or an appraisal.

C. Investment Policies

The City’s portfolio value fluctuates in an inverse relationship to any change in interest rate. Accordingly, if interest rates rise, the portfolio value will decline. If interest rates fall, the portfolio value will rise. The portfolio for year-end reporting purposes is treated as if it were all sold. Therefore, fund balance must reflect the portfolio’s change in value. Generally, the City’s practice is to buy and hold investments until 100 of 324

maturity and carry such investments at fair value.

The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The City’s investments with LAIF at June 30, 2025 include a portion of the pool funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. These investments included structure notes and asset-backed securities described below.

Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more indices and/or have embedded forwards or options.

Asset-Backed Securities, the bulk of which are mortgage backed securities, entitle their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as collateralized mortgage obligations) or credit card receivables.

At June 30, 2025, the City had $12,393 invested in LAIF. The LAIF fair value factor of 1.001198310 was used to calculate the fair value of the investments in LAIF. The City is also a voluntary participant in the Sonoma County Investment Pool (County Pool) that is regulated by the County’s Investment Policy under the oversight of the Treasury of the County. The County does not provide the City with a fair value factor, and the City’s fair value of its position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.

The City also participated in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) which seeks to maintain a constant net asset value (NAV) per share of $1.00. The City had $10,661,481 invested in CAMP as of June 30, 2025.

D. Risk Disclosures
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 term of an investment’s maturity, the greater the sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. The City’s investment policy limits the City’s investment portfolio to maturities prescribed in Sections 53600 through 53609 of the California Government Code which for the City is securities with a maturity of five years or less at the time of purchase.

Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of an investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. As of June 30, 2025, the City’s investments were in compliance with the ratings required by the City’s investment policy and Government Code.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. As of June 30, 2025, the City were in compliance with the concentration requirements of the City’s investment policy and government code.

Custodial Credit Risk
For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the 101 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
possession of an outside 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 investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securities.

Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government's indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as LAIF).

As of June 30, 2025, the City’s investments had the following maturities:

The bonds are secured solely by assessments levied against property owners within the assessment district and from monies on deposit in a reserve fund. The City has no obligation to advance funds for payment of bond debt service. The City has indicated, however, that it may at its own option and in its sole discretion, elect to advance funds to pay bond debt service to the extent of delinquencies and has done so in previous years. The bonds bear interest at 2.95% annually and mature in 2034. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2025 was $2,738,409. 107 of 324

NOTE 9 - RETIREMENT PLANS
General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Description
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency CostSharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan) administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). The Plan consists of individual rate plans (benefit tiers) within a safety risk pool (police and fire) and a miscellaneous risk pool (all other.) Plan assets may be used to pay benefits for any employer rate plan of the safety and miscellaneous risk pools. Accordingly, rate plans within the safety or miscellaneous pools are not separate plans under GASB Statement No. 68.

Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the miscellaneous or safety risk pools. The City sponsors three miscellaneous rate plans. Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.

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 55 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost-of-living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employee’s Retirement Law. The general fund typically is used to liquidate pension liabilities for governmental funds.

The Plans’ provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2025, are summarized as follows:

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for the Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rates are 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 City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City’s contributions were as follows:

The City’s net pension liability for the Plans is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plans are measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability for the Plans used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for the Plans as of June 30, 2024 and 2025 was as follows:

Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:

Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Actuarial Cost Method Entry-Age
Normal Cost
Method
Actuarial Assumptions:

Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Payroll Growth 2.80%
Projected Salary Increase (1)
Investment Rate of Return 6.8% (2)
Mortality (3)
(1) Varies by entry age and service
(2) Net of pension plan investment expenses, including inflation (3) Derived using CalPERS' membership data for all funds Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.9 percent for the Plan. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for the Plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets.

Therefore, the current 6.9 percent discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary. The long-term expected discount rate of 6.9 percent will be applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed report that can be obtained from the CalPERS website. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical 111 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 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 longterm returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent. The table below reflects the longterm expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. These rates of return are net of administrative expenses.

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The City is subject to certain matters of litigation that may arise in the normal course of conducting City business. City management believes, based upon consultation with legal counsel, that these cases, in the aggregate, are not expected to result in a material adverse financial impact on the City. Additionally, City management believes that the City's insurance programs are sufficient to cover any potential losses should an unfavorable outcome materialize.

Federal and State Grant Programs
The City participates in Federal and State grant programs. These programs are audited by the City's independent accountants if required by and in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Guidance and applicable State requirements. For Federal programs, the City did not reach the level of qualifying expenditures during the current fiscal year that would require a single audit. Expenditures which may be disallowed, if any, by the granting agencies, cannot be determined at this time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

Encumbrances
Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in all budgeted funds.

Encumbrances outstanding at year end are reported as a restriction, commitment or assignment of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities and are reappropriated in the following year. Unexpended appropriations lapse at year end and must be reappropriated in the following year.

Encumbrances outstanding as of June 30, 2025 totaled $2.74 million, which included $2 million committed for two contractors.

NOTE 13 - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY DISSOLUTION AND SUCCESSOR AGENCY

ACTIVITIES
The Dissolution Process
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X26 (the Bill) that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action impacted the financial reporting entity of the City of Cotati that previously had reported a redevelopment agency within the financial reporting entity of the City as a blended component unit.

The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the City or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the Successor Agency to hold assets until they are distributed to other units of State and local government. The City Council of Cotati elected to have the City become the Successor Agency for the former Redevelopment Agency. After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations, or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly-established Oversight Board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).

In future fiscal years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenues in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
116 of 324
City of Cotati
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
The bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, the State Controller is required to order the available assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill.

The City’s position on these issues is not a position of settled law and there is considerable legal uncertainty regarding these issues. It is reasonably possible that a legal determination may be made at a later date by an appropriate judicial authority or other authorized body that would resolve any of the dissolution matters unfavorably to the City.

In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011) all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as a legal entity as of February 1, 2012. After the date of dissolution, the assets and financial activities of the dissolved Redevelopment Agency are reported in a fiduciary fund (the private–purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City of Cotati. The assets and liabilities of the private purpose trust are excluded from the Government-wide Statement of Net Position of the City of Cotati and the Statement of Activities of the City of Cotati because fiduciary fund assets are not available in any fashion for use by the City.

Enforceable Obligations (Long-term Liabilities)
The Successor Agency assumed the long-term debt, notes and loans of the Redevelopment Agency. As of June 30, 2025, the Successor Agency’s Enforceable Obligations included the following long-term debt:

Due
Beginning Adjustments/ Ending Within One
Successor Agency Trust Fund Balance Additions Deletions Balance Year 2020 Tax Allocation Bonds $ 6,990,954 -$ 672,278 $ $ 6,318,676 $ 698,995 Total Noncurrent Liabilities $ 6,990,954 -$ 672,278 $ $ 6,318,676 $ 698,995 2020 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds
On July 1, 2020, the California Department of Finance approved the issuance and sale of tax allocation refunding bonds by the Cotati Community Successor Agency to the Former Redevelopment Agency.

Refunding Bonds under the Dissolution Act - Section 34177.5 of the Health & Safety Code, which was added to the Dissolution Act by AB 1484, authorizes the Successor Agency to issue bonds for the purpose of refunding outstanding obligations of the Redevelopment Agency or the Successor Agency to provide savings to the Successor Agency. On July 28, 2021, the Agency refunded the obligations issued by the former Redevelopment Agency reducing the interest rate. Interest and principal on the bonds is payable each March 1 and September 1 through 2035. The bonds bear interest at rate of 1.29%. The refunding resulted in a difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt of $102,619, which is reported as a deferred outflow of resources in the accompanying financial statements and amortized over the remaining life of the refunded debt. The City completed the refunding to reduce its total debt service payments by $2,557,497 and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values of the old and new debt service payments) of $1,859,770.

The former Redevelopment Agency had pledged future tax increment revenues to pay debt service on the 2020 Tax Allocation Bonds.

NOTE 14 - RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; employment-related claims; cyber incidents; pollution; and natural disasters. To manage these exposures, the City participates as a member of the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA). The City does not maintain separate self-insurance but is responsible for deductibles and retentions ranging from $5,000 to $250,000 depending on the program. Through CIRA and its purchased excess insurance, the City has coverage including: up to $40 million for liability and employment practices claims; statutory limits for workers’ compensation (with $495,000 coverage per occurrence in excess of the City’s $5,000 deductible, plus $250,000 excess of CIRA’s $500,000 retention for non-safety employees, and $500,000 excess of CIRA’s $500,000 retention for safety employees); $599.9 million for all-risk property (subject to sub limits and deductibles); $15 million in excess earthquake coverage; $2 million in excess cyber liability; $50 million in pollution liability; and $5 million in crime/fidelity. Financial information pertaining to CIRA can be obtained from its administrative offices at 2330 East Bidwell Street, Suite 150, Folsom, CA 95630.

Liabilities of the City are reported in the financial statements when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). Because estimating claims involves complex factors such as inflation, legal changes, and settlement trends, claim liabilities are periodically reevaluated. The City’s exposure is limited to deductible or retention amounts and any losses exceeding program coverage.. There have been no significant changes in insurance coverages in fiscal 2025. Settlements have not exceeded coverage for each of the past four fiscal years. The City has no material claim liabilities at June 30, 2025.

There were no claims liabilities as of June 30, 2025.

NOTE 15 - JOINTLY GOVERNED ORGANIZATIONS
Jointly governed organizations are legal entities or other organizations that result from a contractual arrangement and that are owned, operated, or governed by two or more participants as a separate and specific activity subject to joint control in which the participants retain an ongoing financial interest or ongoing financial responsibility. The City is a participant in the following organizations other than the insurance authority described in the preceding notes.

Budget and Budgetary Accounting
June 30, 2025
Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund, inclusionary housing fund, and debt service fund. The capital projects fund is appropriated on a project-length basis. Special revenue funds have appropriated budgets based on the use of resources (e.g., grant awards and endowment requirements). Low income housing fund holds balance sheet activity for notes issued for inclusionary housing projects, as such it does not have revenue and expenditures or related adopted budget.

The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department. The government’s department heads may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between departments require the approval of the Council. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the department level. Appropriations in all budgeted funds lapse at the end of the fiscal year even if they have related encumbrances. Encumbrances are commitments related to unperformed (executory) contracts for goods or services (i.e., purchase orders, contracts, and commitments).

Encumbrance accounting is utilized to the extent necessary to assure effective budgetary control and accountability and to facilitate effective cash planning and control. While all appropriations and encumbrances lapse at year end, valid outstanding encumbrances (those for which performance under the executory contract is expected in the next year) are re-appropriated and become part of the subsequent year’s budget pursuant to state regulations.

Encumbrances
Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in all budgeted funds. Encumbrances outstanding at year end are reported as a restriction, commitment or assignment of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities and are reappropriated in the following year. Unexpended appropriations lapse at year end and must be reappropriated in the following year. 122 of 324

Notes:

Exempt values are not included in Total.

In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited taxes to a total maximum rate of 1%, based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. 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 activity or at the time it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the property is reassessed based upon the added value of the 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.

¹In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds. ²Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all overlapping rates apply to all property owners. ³City's Share of 1% Levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the City. The ERAF portion of the City's Levy has been subtracted where known.
⁴Redevelopment Rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area and only includes rate(s) from indebtedness adopted prior to 1989 per California State statute. RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the incremental property values. The approval of ABX1 26 eliminated Redevelopment from the State of California for the fiscal year 2012/13 and years thereafter. ⁵Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the City/Agency preparing the statistical section information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft. Beginning in 2013/14 the Total Direct Rate no longer includes revenue generated from the former redevelopment tax rate areas. Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations are assumed to have been resolved during 2012/13. For the purposes of this report, residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City/Agency in the same proportions as general fund revenue.

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
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Cotati
Cotati, California
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the City of Cotati (the “City”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated October 15, 2025.

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

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

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

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free of 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 determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not 203 of 324

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

To the Residents of Cotati,
The City is proud to present you with Cotati’s Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) to the Community for the fiscal year (FY) ended June 30, 2025. This report provides an overview of the City’s financial condition and a brief analysis of where City revenues come from and where those dollars are spent.

Most of the information in this report is drawn from the financial information appearing in the FY 2024/25 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

The City remains dedicated to preparing a full ACFR as it is the “gold standard” in financial reporting and provides the following; citywide detailed statistical and demographic information; management’s discussion on the goals, economic condition and objectives for the City, as well as a complete financial presentation of basic financial statements prepared in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The ACFR was audited by an independent auditor who provided a clean opinion for the year under audit. While the financial data in this document is derived from the ACFR, the supplemental statistical, economic and demographic data may be taken from various other publicly available sources.

The goal of this document is to provide a summary of the City’s financial information in an easy to read, informative way with less accounting jargon. As such we have highlighted in bold some of the unavoidable accounting terms and provided a glossary of those terms on page 10. We hope you will find this information to be interesting and informative. We welcome your comments and suggestions for future reports and we look forward to the opportunity to explain any information provided both here and within the ACFR. Both the ACFR and this document are available for viewing at City Hall and on the City's website at www.cotaticity.gov.

City Overview
Our city’s unusual name “Cotati” (ko-ta-tee) derives from the Kota’ti, a peaceful tribe of Coast Miwok Native Americans who populated this temperate valley for generations.

In 1844, the Mexican government granted the Rancho Cotate to Captain Juan Castaneda for his military services. The grant included the land on which Cotati would be built. The ranch passed hands a few times until 1849 when Dr. Thomas Page purchased it. The Page family held on to the land for many years and laid out the hexagonal plaza and roads named after his sons which are still evident today around Cotati’s downtown La Plaza Park. This hexagonal plaza is one of only two in the US and has been designated as a California Historical Landmark due to this unique layout.

In order to retain its identity, Cotati incorporated in 1963 and currently operates under a city manager/city council structure.

The City provides a variety of services to its residents, which includes; police services, recreation services, water and sewer services, maintenance of City parks, streets and storm drains, and City buildings. Additionally, the City provides for planning and zoning, code enforcement, issuance of building permits, and acts as the flood plain administrator.

Due to new commercial construction and increased home prices during the past fiscal year, the County Assessor office has again increased property assessed valuations which we anticipate will result in continued growth in property taxes for the upcoming year.

The City is focused on diversifying the current sources of revenue to provide a more stable and resilient general fund and promote increased economic activity in Cotati. This includes developing local lodging options to generate a new general fund revenue stream called Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT); and enhancing the local cannabis industry to generate additional fund revenue (Cannabis Business Tax). The City encourages visitation to the City and businesses to generate new economic activity for our local businesses and preserve and diversify the existing sources of sales and property taxes.

Cotati’s population increased slightly to 7,323 residents in 2024 due to demographic changes in household types and more student residents as remote classes, which were introduced during the COVID-19 restrictions at Sonoma State University, are gradually phased out.

Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year 2024/25
The City prepares two types of financial statements that measure its finances differently; Government-wide and Fund statements. The Government-wide Statements present the full City operations in a similar manner to those of a private business; whereas Fund Statements provide detailed financials in a short term annual budgetary basis on specific funds. In order to provide clear and consistent information, all of the following financial highlights are presented based on the Government-wide statements with notes to differentiate the City governmental operating funds (primarily the General Fund) from the Water and Sewer funds, which are also known as Enterprise funds.

Highlights of the City of Cotati’s financial activities include:
• Net position decreased by $58.8 thousand, primarily due to use of the remaining funds held in the street bonds project funding to pay for future Street Improvements. • Cash and investments increased by $0.9 million to $19.4 million while lease receivables and capital assets decreased by a combined $2.5 million to $54.6 million. The largest change in capital assets was due to the completion of some significant capital projects, leading to historically higher depreciation versus new assets. The City continues to prioritize cash collections and received more outstanding grant reimbursements from the State
• The General Fund’s end of year fund balance decreased by $1.9 million to $7.0 million, primarily due to the use of funds for capital projects associated with grant matching for the street project on Redwood Drive, as well as the sidewalk connection projects.

Additionally, operational expenses for Insurance and Utilities continues to increase while primary revenues of Sales Tax and Property Tax remain mostly flat. 2 216 of 324

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
*Detailed financial reports can be found in the City’s FY 2024/25 ACFR available on the City’s website at https://online.fliphtml5.com/iibpe/uldu/ or at City Hall. 3 The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities at a point in time, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position is one indicator of whether the City's financial condition is improving or weakening.

Total Net Position For Last Ten Years
The net position is primarily made
up of investments in capital assets.

These investments are all the City
infrastructure such as streets, roads,
wells, drainage systems and
buildings less accumulated
depreciation and outstanding debt.

Net position steadily increased from
2016 to 2023, but has shown a
levelling off over the last 2 years, as
capital depreciation has increased
compared to new assets.

Goals and Accomplishments
The Administrative Services Department continues to work diligently to report on the financial condition of the City. Reports provided this year include the budget in brief document for the public, quarterly financial updates, our first formal long-range financial forecast, and continued enhanced budget documents to the standards of the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) and Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for award submission. The City was honored to be one of only a few hundred government agencies to receive the GFOA Triple Crown Award. The GFOA's Triple Crown recognizes governments who have received GFOA's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, Popular Annual Financial Reporting Award, and the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award.

The City advanced several housing and economic development initiatives, including implementing the 6th Cycle Housing Element and co-hosting a regional housing fair with Rohnert Park. It completed the Cotati Density Bonus Program to encourage projects that meet community goals and finalized the Santero Way Specific Plan to support mixed-use development near the SMART station. Efforts to expand housing options also continued through new outreach and funding resources for accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

Community safety remained a top priority through expanded partnerships and public engagement. The Police Department worked with Rohnert Park and Sonoma State University on the 24/7 SAFE Team crisis response program and launched the Community-Police Advisory Committee to strengthen trust and transparency.

Enhanced DUI enforcement, continued de-escalation and bias training, and community events like National Night Out and Coffee with a Cop reinforced safety and connection with residents.

Significant infrastructure and environmental improvements were completed citywide.

Major street repairs on Redwood Drive and Cypress Avenue, sidewalk gap closures, and storm drain repairs improved public safety and accessibility. Park revitalization progressed with construction at Putnam Park and designs for new projects citywide, while the new asset management system improved tracking and maintenance of City facilities.

219 of 324
Where the money comes from…..

For fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, revenues primarily changed due to increases in Charges for Services and Property Taxes, which was offset by decreases in Sales Tax and Grant revenues. Property Taxes have continued to increase due to an increasingly buoyant housing market. See page 5 for totals by revenue category. *Detailed financial reports can be found in the City’s FY 2024/25 ACFR available on the City’s website at https://online.fliphtml5.com/iibpe/uldu/ or at City Hall.

7 *Detailed financial reports can be found in the City’s FY 2024/25 ACFR available on the City’s website at https://online.fliphtml5.com/iibpe/uldu/ or at City Hall.

For fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 expenses decreased primarily within Community Development, related to lower costs for the Santero Way Plan, offset by the increase in Public Works expenses for ongoing Streets and Parks projects. The decreases seen in Public Safety are primarily due to lower training costs and vehicle expenses, as the department held off on new vehicle purchases. Health benefits, pension costs and insurance continue to increase across all departments.

Expenses
221 of 324
Total Revenues & Expenses Last Ten Fiscal Years
8 Overall, the City’s operational revenues vary more than expenses with major fluctuations including a decrease in 2017 of approximately $2.2 million due to a decrease in grant revenue as capital projects were completed, then steadily increased in 2018 through, 2023 primarily related to capital infrastructure grants and contributions, and due to the Voter approved Measures G & S 1% Sales tax. Revenues in 2024 decreased due to lower interest rates and lower spending on taxable items, but have stabilized in 2025 due to increased charges for services. City expenses have remained fairly consistent over time, but have seen an increase in the past 3 fiscal years due to significant increases in operational costs, primarily from insurance, pension, utilities and labor, and due to investment in capital improvements throughout the City.

Where Your Property Tax Dollar Goes…..

Under Proposition 13, property tax is levied on the assessed value of a property by the County, equal to 1% of the assessed value. For taxes levied and collected by the County on properties within the City of Cotati, the City only receives 10 cents on each property tax dollar.

Schools receive a total of 53 cents on the dollar, including the Cotati-RP Unified District, Santa Rosa Junior College District, and the State Education Augmentation Fund, and Schools Administration. The remainder is allocated to County government (20 cents); Rancho Adobe Fire District (11 cents); and other agencies (6 cents). 222 of 324

A los habitantes de Cotati,
La Ciudad se enorgullece en presentarle el Informe Financiero Anual Popular de Cotati (PAFR) a la Comunidad para el año fiscal (AY) que finalizó el 30 de junio de 2025. Este informe proporciona una vision general de la condicion financiera de la Ciudad y un breve analisis de donde provienen los ingresos de la Ciudad y donde se gastan esos dolares.

La mayor parte de la información de este informe se ha extraído de la información financiera que aparece en el Informe Financiero Integral Anual (ACFR) del ejercicio fiscal 2024/25. La Ciudad sigue dedicada a preparar un ACFR completo, ya que es el «patrón oro» en la presentación de informes financieros y proporciona lo siguiente: información estadística y demográfica detallada de toda la ciudad; el debate de la dirección sobre los objetivos, la situación económica y los objetivos de la Ciudad, así como una presentación financiera completa de los estados financieros básicos preparados de conformidad con los Principios de Contabilidad Generalmente Aceptados (GAAP). El ACFR fue auditado por un auditor independiente que emitió un dictamen sin reservas para el ejercicio auditado. Aunque los datos financieros de este documento proceden del ACFR, los datos estadísticos, económicos y demográficos complementarios pueden proceder de otras fuentes de acceso público.

Nuestro objetivo en este documento es ofrecer un resumen de la información financiera de la Ciudad de una forma fácil de leer, informativa y con una jerga contable reducida. Por ello, hemos resaltado algunos de los términos contables inevitables y hemos proporcionado un glosario de los mismos en la página 10.

Esperamos que esta información le resulte interesante e instructiva. Agradecemos sus comentarios y sugerencias para futuros informes y esperamos tener la oportunidad de explicar cualquier información proporcionada tanto aquí como en el ACFR. Tanto el ACFR como este documento pueden consultarse en el Ayuntamiento y en la página web de la ciudad www.cotaticity.gov.

Resumen de la Ciudad
El inusual nombre de nuestra ciudad, "Cotati",
deriva de los kota'ti, una pacífica tribu de Nativos
Americanos de la Costa Miwok que poblaron este
valle templado durante generaciones.

En 1844, el gobierno mexicano concedió el
Rancho Cotate al capitán Juan Castañeda por sus
servicios militares. La concesión incluía el terreno
sobre el que se construiría Cotati. El rancho pasó
de manos varias veces hasta 1849, cuando el Dr.

Thomas Page lo compró. La familia Page
conservó el terreno durante muchos años y trazó
la plaza hexagonal y los caminos que llevan el nombre de sus hijos y que aún hoy son evidentes alrededor de La Plaza Park, en el centro de Cotati. Esta plaza hexagonal es una de las dos únicas que existen en Estados Unidos y ha sido designada Monumento Histórico de California debido a su trazado único. 1 Ciudad de Cotati

La ciudad proporciona una variedad de servicios a sus residentes, que incluyen: servicios de policía, servicios de recreación, servicios de agua y alcantarillado, mantenimiento de los parques de la ciudad, calles y desagües pluviales, y edificios de la ciudad. Además, la ciudad se encarga de la planificación y la zonificación, la aplicación de códigos, la emisión de permisos de construcción y actúa como administrador de llanuras aluviales.

Debido a las nuevas construcciones comerciales y al aumento de los precios de las viviendas durante el pasado ejercicio fiscal, la oficina del tasador del condado ha vuelto a aumentar las valoraciones de las propiedades, lo que prevemos que se traducirá en un crecimiento continuado de los impuestos sobre la propiedad para el próximo año.

La ciudad se centra en diversificar las fuentes actuales de ingresos para proporcionar un fondo general más estable y resistente y promover una mayor actividad económica en Cotati. Esto incluye el desarrollo de opciones de alojamiento local para generar un nuevo flujo de ingresos del fondo general llamado Impuestos sobre la Impuesto de Ocupación Transitoria (TOT); y la mejora de la industria local de cannabis para generar ingresos adicionales del fondo (Cannabis Business Tax). La ciudad fomenta las visitas a la ciudad y a las empresas para generar nueva actividad económica para nuestros negocios locales y preservar y diversificar las fuentes existentes de impuestos sobre las ventas y la propiedad.

La población de Cotati disminuyó a 7.303 residentes en 2023 debido a los cambios demográficos en los tipos de hogares y un menor número de estudiantes residentes como resultado de las clases a distancia que se introdujeron durante las restricciones de COVID-19 en la Universidad Estatal de Sonoma.

Aspectos Financieros Destacados para el Ejercicio 2024/25 Debido a la naturaleza de la información financiera, en este informe se utilizan algunos términos contables o financieros que aparecen en negrita. En la página 10 encontrará un resumen de estos términos.

El Ayuntamiento elabora dos tipos de estados financieros que miden sus finanzas de forma diferente: los Estados de Todo el Gobierno y los Estados de los Fondos. Los estados financieros a nivel de todo el gobierno presentan las operaciones completas de la ciudad de forma similar a las de una empresa privada, mientras que los estados financieros de los fondos proporcionan información financiera detallada sobre una base presupuestaria anual a corto plazo sobre fondos específicos. Con el fin de proporcionar una información clara y coherente, todos los datos financieros destacados que figuran a continuación se presentan sobre la base de los estados de todo el Gobierno, con notas para diferenciar los fondos de operaciones gubernamentales de la Ciudad (principalmente el Fondo General) de los fondos de agua y alcantarillado, que también se conocen como Fondos de Empresa.

Los aspectos más destacados de las actividades financieras de la Ciudad de Cotati incluyen:
• La posición neta disminuyó en 58.8 mil dólares, debido principalmente al uso de los fondos restantes del proyecto de financiación de bonos municipales para pagar futuras y mejores avenidas. • El efectivo y las inversiones aumentaron en 0,9 millones de dólares, hasta alcanzar los 19,4 millones, mientras que las cuentas por cobrar por arrendamientos y los activos fijos disminuyeron en un total de 2,5 millones de dólares, hasta alcanzar los 54.6 millones. El mayor cambio en los activos fijos se debió a la finalización de algunos proyectos de capital importantes, lo que provocó una depreciación históricamente más alta en comparación con los nuevos activos. La ciudad sigue dando prioridad al cobro de efectivo y recibió más reembolsos pendientes de subvenciones del estado. • El saldo del fondo general al final del año disminuyó en 1,9 millones de dólares, hasta alcanzar los 7,0 millones, debido principalmente al uso de fondos para proyectos de capital asociados con lel projecto de calles en Redwood Drive, así como los proyectos de conexión de aceras. Además, los gastos operativos de seguros y servicios públicos siguen aumentando, mientras que los ingresos principales del impuesto sobre las ventas y el impuesto sobre la propiedad se mantienen prácticamente estables. 2 228 of 324
Estado de Posición Neta
Los informes financieros detallados se pueden encontrar en el ACFR del año fiscal 2024/25 disponible en la página web de la ciudad https://online.fliphtml5.com/iibpe/uldu/ o en el Ayuntamiento. 3 El Estado de Posición Neta presenta información sobre todos los activos y pasivos de la Ciudad en un momento dado, y la diferencia entre ambos se presenta como posición neta. A lo largo del tiempo, los aumentos o disminuciones en la posición neta son un indicador de si la situación financiera de la ciudad está mejorando o debilitándose.

Posición neta total de los últimos diez años
La posición neta se compone principalmente
de inversiones en activos fijos. Estas
inversiones son todas las infraestructuras de
la ciudad, como calles, carreteras, pozos,
sistemas de drenaje y edificios, menos la
depreciación acumulada y la deuda
pendiente. La posición neta aumentó de
forma constante entre 2016 y 2023, pero se
ha estabilizado en los últimos dos años, ya
que la depreciación del capital ha
aumentado en comparación con los nuevos
activos.

Objetivos y Logros
El Departamento de Servicios Administrativos sigue trabajando diligentemente para informar sobre la situación financiera de la Ciudad. Los informes proporcionados este año incluyen el presupuesto en breve para el público, actualizaciones financieras trimestrales, nuestro primer pronóstico financiero formal a largo plazo, y el continuó de documentos presupuestarios mejorados basado en las normas de la Sociedad de California de Funcionarios de Finanzas Municipales (CSMFO) y la Asociación de Funcionarios de Finanzas Gubernamentales (GFOA) para la presentación de premios. La ciudad tuvo el honor de ser uno de los pocos cientos de organismos gubernamentales que recibieron el premio Triple Corona de la GFOA. La Triple Corona de la GFOA reconoce a los gobiernos que han recibido el Certificado de Logro a la Excelencia en la Información Financiera de la GFOA, el Premio a la Información Financiera Anual Popular y el Premio a la Presentación Presupuestaria Distinguida.

La ciudad impulsó varias iniciativas de vivienda y desarrollo económico, entre ellas la implementación del

6.º ciclo del Elemento de Vivienda y la organización conjunta con Rohnert Park de una feria regional de vivienda. Completó el Programa de Bonificación por Densidad de Cotati para fomentar proyectos que cumplan con los objetivos de la comunidad y finalizó el Plan Específico de Santero Way para apoyar el desarrollo de uso mixto cerca de la estación SMART. También continuaron los esfuerzos para ampliar las opciones de vivienda mediante nuevos recursos de divulgación y financiación para unidades de vivienda (ADU).

La seguridad de la comunidad siguió siendo una prioridad máxima gracias a la ampliación de las asociaciones y la participación pública. El Departamento de Policía colaboró con Rohnert Park y la Universidad Estatal de Sonoma en el programa de respuesta a crisis del equipo SAFE 24/7 y puso en marcha el Comité Asesor Comunidad-Policía para reforzar la confianza y la transparencia. La mejora de la aplicación de la ley en materia de conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol, la continuación de la formación en materia de descenso y prejuicios, y los eventos comunitarios como la Noche Nacional y Café con un Policía reforzaron la seguridad y la conexión con los residentes.

Se completaron importantes mejoras en las infraestructuras y el medio ambiente en toda la ciudad. Las importantes reparaciones de las calles Redwood Drive y Cypress Avenue, el cierre de huecos en las aceras y las reparaciones de los desagües pluviales mejoraron la seguridad pública y la accesibilidad. La revitalización de los parques avanzó con la construcción del Putnam Park y los diseños de nuevos proyectos en toda la ciudad, mientras que el nuevo sistema de gestión de activos mejoró el seguimiento y el mantenimiento de las instalaciones municipales.

Ingresos—De dónde viene el dinero...
6 Para el año fiscal que finaliza el 30 de junio de 2025, los ingresos cambiaron principalmente debido al aumento de los cargos por servicios y los impuestos sobre la propiedad, que se vio compensado por la disminución de los ingresos por impuestos sobre las ventas y subvenciones. Los impuestos sobre la propiedad han seguido aumentando debido al auge del mercado inmobiliario. Consulte la página 5 para ver los totales por categoría de ingresos.

Para el año fiscal que finaliza el 30 de junio de 2025, los gastos disminuyeron principalmente en el área de Desarrollo Comunitario, en relación con la reducción de los costos del Plan Santero Way, compensada por el aumento de los gastos de Obras Públicas para los proyectos en curso de calles y parques. Las disminuciones observadas en Seguridad Pública se deben principalmente a la reducción de los costos de capacitación y los gastos de vehículos, ya que el departamento pospuso la compra de nuevos vehículos. Los beneficios de salud, los costos de pensiones y los seguros siguen aumentando en todos los departamentos.

Gastos- Dónde va el dinero...
233 of 324
Total de Ingresos y Gastos de los Diez Ultimos Años Fiscales 8 En general, los ingresos operativos de la ciudad varían más que los gastos, con fluctuaciones importantes, incluida una disminución en 2017 de aproximadamente 2,2 millones de dólares debido a una disminución de los ingresos por subvenciones al completarse los proyectos de capital, y luego aumentaron de manera constante entre 2018 y 2023, principalmente en relación con las subvenciones y contribuciones para infraestructura de capital, y debido a las medidas G y S aprobadas por los votantes, que establecen un impuesto sobre las ventas del 1 %. Los ingresos en 2024 disminuyeron debido a la bajada de los tipos de interés y al menor gasto en artículos sujetos a impuestos, pero se han estabilizado en 2025 debido al aumento de las tarifas por los servicios. Los gastos de la ciudad se han mantenido bastante constantes a lo largo del tiempo, pero han experimentado un aumento en los últimos tres años fiscales debido al importante incremento de los costos operativos, principalmente de seguros, pensiones, servicios públicos y mano de obra, y debido a la inversión en mejoras de capital en toda la ciudad.

Dónde va su dólar de impuesto de propiedad…
Bajo la Proposición 13, el impuesto a la propiedad se recauda sobre el valor tasado de una propiedad por el Condado, igual al 1% del valor tasado. Para los impuestos recaudados por el Condado sobre las propiedades dentro de la Ciudad de Cotati, la Ciudad sólo recibe 10 centavos de cada dólar de impuestos a la propiedad.

Las escuelas reciben un total de 53 centavos de dólar, incluyendo el Distrito Unificado de Cotati-RP, Santa Rosa Junior College District, y el Fondo de Aumento de Educación del Estado, y la Administración de Escuelas. El resto se asigna al gobierno del
Condado (20 centavos); Rancho Adobe Fire
District (11 centavos); y otras agencias (6
centavos).

City of Cotati
City Council and Management
Cotati, California
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of City of Cotati as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, 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, we considered City of Cotati’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Cotati’s internal control.

Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Cotati’s internal control over financial reporting.

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 over financial reporting, 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 reasonable possibility exists when the likelihood of an event occurring is either reasonably possible or probable as defined as follows:
 Reasonably possible: The chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely.
 Probable: The future event or events are likely to occur.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses.

Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

The purpose of this communication, which is an integral part of our audit, is to describe, for management and those charged with governance, the scope of our testing of internal control and the results of that testing. Accordingly, this communication is not intended to be and should not be used for any other purpose.

Respectfully,
October 15, 2025

To the City Council of the
City of Cotati
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of Cotati as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and have issued our report thereon dated October 15, 2025. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.

Our Responsibility under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards
As communicated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express an opinion(s) about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.

Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City of Cotati solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.

We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.

Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information in documents containing City of Cotati’s audited financial statements does not extend beyond the financial information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information.

Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a material misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements. 239 of 324

[email protected] • www.cnallp.com
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated with management.

Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, and our firm have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.

Significant Risks Identified
We did not identify any significant risks that required special audit consideration.

Qualitative Aspects of the Authority’s Significant Accounting Practices Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the City of Cotati is included in Note 1 to the financial statements. There have been no initial selection of accounting policies and no changes in significant accounting policies or their application during June 30, 2025 with a material impact on the financial statements. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.

Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events.

Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management’s current judgments.

The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements include actuarial assumptions included in employee retirement plans that impact pension and other postemployment balances reported in the financial statements.

We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the identified estimates and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.

Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting City of Cotati’s financial statements relate to cash and investments, pensions and longterm liabilities.

Significant Unusual Transactions
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to communicate to you significant unusual transactions identified during our audit. No significant unusual transactions were identified as a result of our audit procedures that required the attention of management.

Identified or Suspected Fraud
We did not identify nor obtain information that indicates that fraud may have occurred.

Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.

Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. There were no uncorrected financial statement misstatements identified.

In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. There were no material, corrected misstatements noted during the audit.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the City of Cotati’s financial statements or the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit. 241 of 324

There were no circumstances that affect the form and content of our auditor’s report.

Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the attached letter dated October 15, 2025.

Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.

Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City of Cotati, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the City, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the City of Cotati’s auditors.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board and management of the City of Cotati and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

APPENDIX A
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
4 1. PURPOSE OF LIMITED PROCEDURES REVIEW
Under Article XIII B of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitations Initiative), California governmental agencies are restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes. Effective for years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, under Section 1.5 of Article XIIB, the annual calculation of the appropriation limit is subject to a limited procedures review in connection with the annual audit.

2. METHOD OF CALCULATION
Under Section 10.5 of Article XIII B, for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, the appropriations limit is required to be calculated based on the limit for the fiscal year 1986-87, adjusted for the inflation and population factors discussed in Notes 3 and 4 below.

3. INFLATION FACTORS
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the annual percentage change in the 4th quarter per capita personal income (which percentage is supplied by the State Department of Finance) or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the change of local nonresidential construction. The factor adopted by the City for the year 2024-25 represents the annual percentage change in the per capita personal income.

4. POPULATION FACTORS
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the annual percentage change of the jurisdiction’s own population or the annual percentage change in population of the county where the jurisdiction is located. The factor adopted by the City for the year 2024-25 represents the annual percentage change in population for the County.

5. OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
A California government agency may be required to adjust its appropriations limit when certain events occur, such as the transfer of responsibility for municipal services to, or from, another government agency or private entity. The City had no such adjustments for the year ending June 30, 2025.

Cotati City Council
Agenda Staff Report
Item type: REGULAR AGENDA (ACTION)
To: City Council
Subject: PROPOSED UPDATED PARK USE AND SPECIAL EVENT

PERMIT POLICY
Date: November 18, 2025
Written by: Ashley Wilson, Recreation Manager
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the updated City of Cotati Park Use and Special Event Permit Policy.

Background
The City of Cotati Park Use Policy was adopted in 2008 and last updated in 2018. Since the last update of the policy, the Cotati municipal code and several parks and amenities within parks have changed. With the updates to the municipal code and several parks, there is a need for updates to the current policy.

Analysis/Discussion
The proposed Park Use and Special Event Permit Policy establishes rules, regulations, and procedures governing the use of City Parks, as well as public property for special events.

While much of the updated policy remain the same as the current policy, there are some notable differences or additions, as indicated below:

1. Updated Facilities
Updates have been made to reflect the actual and current facilities within the City‘s park system.

2. Updated Park Hours
The primary issues that the park hours are intended to resolve are safety concerns, loud noises, property damage or other illegal activities occurring late at night, generally in an unlighted park.

Therefore, the proposed policy includes established open park hours of 6 am to 10 pm, with 249 of 324
exceptions to the hours for traveling through parks during off hours or during a permitted event.

It also includes hours for dedicated park parking lots. These hours are recommended because they are simple to post and communicate, encompass all reasonable daylight hours, don’t change during the year, and will accomplish the goal of being easily enforceable when necessary.

In developing the recommended hours, staff reached out to cities in Sonoma County and also regionally to inquire about their park hours. In Sonoma County, the most common open hours were ”Sunrise to Sunset” (Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa and Windsor). Regionally, Yountville and the Greater Vallejo Recreation District (GVRD) also take this approach.

Other variations include:
• 7 am to 9 pm (Cloverdale)
• 7 am to 10 pm (St. Helena)
• 7 am to 7 pm (Fairfield)
• 6 am to 10 pm (Healdsburg)
• Daylight to 10 pm (Sebastopol)
• Dawn to Dusk (Petaluma)
• Seasonal: 6 am – 11 pm [April-Oct.], 6 am – 9 pm [Nov. -March] (Sonoma) • ½ Hour before Sunrise to ½ Hour after Sunset (Mill Valley, San Anselmo) • Sunrise to ½ hour after Sunset (Calistoga)

3. Updated Animal Restrictions
The proposed policy updates the animal restrictions for parks to match the updated Cotati municipal code, which allows leashed dogs in all parks. Specifics are included in the policy.

4. Insurance Updates
The updated policy proposes to remove the requirement for small events with less than 50 people, no alcohol, and no bounce houses to provide liability insurance. This update is intended to make the permit process for small gatherings more accessible to the community and matches the requirements of other Sonoma County cities, including Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, and Healdsburg.

Additional updates include edits to adhere to the current Cotati municipal code or minor changes for clarity.

The proposed policy is attached with tracked changes. A sample application is also attached. It is proposed that the City Manager or designee may update the application as needed, so long as it adheres to the adopted policy and municipal code.

If approved by the City Council, these policies would be effective December 1, 2025 for any new reservations made.

Financial Considerations
There are no proposed financial changes to the policy. Fees are updated annually as needed within the City Council approved Master Fee Schedule.
250 of 324
Environmental Issues
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378

1 CITY OF COTATI
Park Use and Special Event Permit Policy and Application Adopted by the Cotati City Council October 23, 2018
Special events held on City property are subject to an application and permitting process in accordance with the terms of this policy and the Cotati Municipal Code (CMC) section 9.36.130 (Permit Procedures). This policy details the rules and processes regarding the use of City space for special events. The application process for requesting and receiving a permit provides the City with an opportunity to review the activity as described by the Applicant and determine how the activity impacts public property and other activities. The City recognizes the substantial community benefits that may result from events and wishes to encourage such activities. At the same time, the City must take into consideration public safety, impacts on neighborhoods and businesses, and the routine and customary use of public property, and the potential draw on City resources and services.

Permit applications may be obtained from Cotati City Hall, Recreation Department, 201 West Sierra Avenue, Cotati or on our website: www.cotaticity.gov www.cotaticity.org. Please call (707) 665-4222796-7301 to request an faxed or emailed application or if you have any questions. Applications and fees must be received at least 30 days (for staff-approved permits) or 45 days (for City Council-approved permits) before the requested event date to avoid late fees and potential cancellations. Applications may be submitted up to one year in advance. Permit will not be finalized until proof of insurance is received.

Events requiring a Special Event permit include, but are not limited to film production, block parties, festivals, outdoor markets, concerts, parades, walks, runs, cycling events, athletic tournaments, day camps, weddings, social gatherings, concerts, and fundraisers that take place on public streets, sidewalks, alleys, parking areas, civic sites, or parks, above and beyond the normal pattern of use.

Most park uses related to casual enjoyment of the park by members of the public do not require a permit.

Some uses do require a permit. Check these lists to determine if a permit is required:

Administratively Issued Permits
You will need a permit if your event includes any of the following:
 More than 20 people
 Jump house(s)
 Organized sports use
 Use of electricity
 Beating on drums Animals in City parks, including pony rides and/or dogs, unless otherwise permitted (i.e. dogs on leash park areas, etc.)
 Amplified music
City Council Issued Permits
Your permit must be approved by the City Council if your event includes any of the following:
 Park closures
 Sale or use of alcoholic beverages
254 of 324
2  Any type of sales, including food, drinks, tickets for attractions, or any other items that require payment by attendees
 Full or Partial Closures of the Public Right of Way (Streets, Sidewalks, etc.)  Closures of parking spaces
 Animals in City parks, including pony rides and/or dogs, unless otherwise permitted (i.e. dog park areas, etc.)

AVAILABILTY
Parks and other public space are available for special events when not in use for City or Recreation Department sponsored functions or users with a valid License Agreement with the City.

RESERVATIONS
The City does not monitor or enforce the informal reservation or use of facilities by the general public.

Obtaining a permit for a special event does not constitute a reservation. Unless closure of a portion of a park or public space is requested and approved by the City Council, reservations are non-exclusive uses and parks are open to the public on a first - come, first - serve basis. Persons interested in having a gathering in one of the City parks are advised to arrive at the park early on the day of the event and remain there to secure use of the desired facilities. Leaving a tablecloth on a table does not reserve the table for use later in the day. You must remain at the facility to ensure its availability for your event.

Cotati City Council
Agenda Staff Report
Item type: REGULAR AGENDA (ACTION)
To: City Council
Subject: AWARD CONSULTING AGREEMENT FOR EVALUATION OF

A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT
Date: November 18, 2025
Written by: Damien O'Bid, City Manager
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Kosmont Companies to evaluate the feasibility of a tax increment financing district (Phase 1) and take any necessary actions to complete a reimbursement agreement to partner with the City of Rohnert Park.

Background
On September 26, 2025, the City of Cotati and City of Rohnert Park (Cities) jointly posted a request for proposals to explore the viability of a tax increment financing district, such as an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD). Following the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agencies, a variety of tax increment finance districts have been created in State law, including:
• Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs)
o (SB 628/AB 313/SB 63/AB 1568/SB 1145/SB 961)
• Community Revitalization and Investment Authorities (CRIAs) o (AB 2/AB 2492)
• Infrastructure and Revitalization Financing Districts (IRFDs) o (AB 229)
• Climate Resilience Districts (CRDs)
o (SB 852)
• Disaster Recovery Districts
o (SB 782)
• Downtown Revitalization and Economic Recovery Financing Districts o (AB 1445).
269 of 324
The EIFDs [California Government Code (§53398.50–§53398.88)] can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
• Public infrastructure
• Affordable housing
• Economic development projects
• Community facilities
• Environmental and sustainability projects
• Transit-oriented development and infill development
• Facilities to move goods
Prohibited uses generally include:
• Operating and maintenance costs
• Private development subsidies
• Non-public facilities
• K-12 school district costs

Creating a tax increment financing district does not result in any new taxes, it simply sets a property tax baseline in the formation year and then re-directs a certain amount of future property tax growth, the tax increment, into the tax district for certain defined uses.

Notably, these new districts cannot use property tax increment from school districts, which are one of the primary recipients of property tax, thus they are also barred from receiving funding from the districts. The other significant recipient of property tax is the County. The City receives a relatively minor share of property tax at around 10% of the 1% property tax. For example, for a property with an assessed value of $500,000, the 1% property tax is $5,000 and the City’s 10% share is $500 per year.

In Sonoma County, the City of Santa Rosa and the County of Sonoma have formed a joint EIFD.

The County has also explored a joint EIFD between the City of Sebastopol and adjacent unincorporated areas and is in discussions with the City of Sonoma for an EIFD in Sonoma Valley. The increased interest in EIFDs was catalyzed by the County of Sonoma’s adoption of an EIFD policy (Exhibit A), which provided a clear policy framework to explore this potential funding mechanism.

Forming an EIFD, in most cases, only makes sense if another significant recipient of property tax (such as the County of Sonoma), joins the EIFD. Otherwise, forming an EIFD would just tie up future property tax increment that otherwise would be unrestricted General Fund revenue.

Generally, the EIFD should fund improvements that catalyze new development, which increases the property values for the forming agencies and/or meets other policy goals of the forming agencies.

Analysis/Discussion
The Cities received proposals from four consulting firms:
270 of 324
• Century Urban, partnered with Jones Hall LLP
• David Taussig and Associates (DTA)
• Kosmont Companies (Exhibit B)
• RSG, Inc.

Staff from the Cities reviewed all of the proposals and found that Kosmont Companies and DTA had the strongest overall proposals, both with work experience in a variety of tax increment districts, as well as experience here in Sonoma County.

Locally, DTA assisted the City of Santa Rosa in the formation of their joint EIFD with the County of Sonoma. In California, DTA states that they have been involved in the formation of eight (8) EIFDs (including Santa Rosa) and are working on a half dozen more currently. DTA also currently works with the City of Cotati on the formation of Community Facility Districts, which is a type of tax benefit district.

Kosmont assisted the County of Sonoma with the formation of the EIFD with the City of Santa Rosa. They are also currently assisting the County of Sonoma with the EIFD study in Sebastopol. In California, Kosmont states that they have been involved in the formation of 22 of the 34 fully formed EIFDs in the State. Kosmont is also actively engaged in over 50 other city and county TIF/EIFD evaluations and formations currently underway across California.

According to their proposal, Kosmont has successfully facilitated the formation of six (6) citycounty EIFD partnerships thus far and is currently involved in two (2) additional city-county EIFD partnerships currently in the formation hearing phase. The City of Cotati has no prior direct experience with Kosmont.

Both Kosmont and DTA were interviewed by staff of the Cities and references checked. Based on this evaluation process, staff from both Cities are recommending that Kosmont be selected for their statewide experience, local experience, and experience with the County of Sonoma. If the tax increment districts make sense financially, participation by the County of Sonoma will be a key factor. Having the relationships and direct experience with the County of Sonoma is expected to facilitate that discussion.

The scope of work is broken up into 3 phases:
• Phase 1: Initial Feasibility Analysis
• Phase 2: Fiscal Impact Analysis and Pursuit of Taxing Entity Partnership • Phase 3: Implementation
The first phase includes a review of the tax increment vehicles to determine if an EIFD is the best option, conduct a preliminary funding and financing analysis with potential district boundaries and engage with potential partners with the goal of determining feasibility. If tax increment district appears to be feasible, Phase 2 would focus on the fiscal analysis to determine how the district(s) would financially affect the agencies partnering in the district. If it still seemed feasible, Phase 3 would result in the creation of the new district(s).

The total time to create a district, assuming no significant delays, is approximately 12 months. 271 of 324
This schedule is important, as it will be necessary to form by December 1 to set the baseline property values and be added to the assessor's tax rolls for the following property tax year.

Missing this deadline can result in significant development getting to occupancy and re-assessing at significantly higher property values.

Financial Considerations
Kosmont provided costs using two potential scenarios; one where Cotati and Rohnert Park form a single district and one where we form two separate districts. The following are the total costs for each:

Single District Two Districts
Phase 1 $47,060 $47,060
Phase 2 $41,260 $41,260
Phase 3 $50,760 $97,020
Total $139,760 $185,340
In the proposed partnership with Rohnert Park, staff are recommending that costs are split 50/50 while we are working together on the tax increment district. Therefore, the costs for the City of Cotati would be half of the costs above. This reduces the cost for the City of Cotati, compared to if we formed a tax increment district by ourselves. It also provides opportunities for partnership throughout the process and maintains the City of Cotati as an equal partner during the process.

It should be pointed out that if it makes sense to form a tax increment district (Phase 3), there are other associated costs, such as engineering survey to survey the district boundaries, mailing costs to property owners, and fees to record the map with the state Board of Equalization. However, those costs would be determined and separately authorized at that time.

At this time, staff is requesting authorization for Phase 1 only. Once Phase 1 is completed, staff will present the results to the City Council, including a recommendation to either continue into Phase 2 or terminate the project.

In the adopted FY 25-26 budget, the City Council authorized $100,000 from the General Fund (101-11-80187). It is expected that the City of Cotati will contract for the entire Phase 1 amount of $47,060 and Rohnert Park will reimburse the City for 50% of the cost ($23,530) through a reimbursement agreement. Given that the total is under the budgeted amount, no budget adjustment is necessary.

Environmental Issues
272 of 324
Where it can be determined with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review.

This general rule can be applied to activities which could be subject to the CEQA process, but which logic dictates should not be subject to CEQA review. Therefore, based on the information provided above, the proposed action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 14.03.021 of the CEQA Guidelines in that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant impact on the environment.
