ITEM NO. CC 4
Meeting: CC Regular Meeting - Mar 01 2022
Title: Resolution CC 2022-20, declaring Intention to Establish a Community Facilities District and to Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes, Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Stormwater)
Presented By: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Adopt Resolution CC 2022-20, declaring Intention to Establish a Community Facilities District and to Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes.
DISCUSSION:
The City has previously used Community Facilities Districts (“CFD”s) to finance specified maintenance and services on improvements related to new development. Tract 83178 (707 N Barranca Ave), consisting of one large lot parcel that will be developed into 151 residential townhomes, will require the City to maintain the offsite stormwater facilities related to this project, which will be installed by the developer. Following the successful formation of CFD No. 2022-1 (Stormwater), funding necessary to maintain the improvements, including longterm capital replacement costs, will come from the special taxes levied on the future residential units within the CFD. The developer has provided funds for the establishment of the CFD.
The City’s special tax consultant, NBS, has prepared the attached Resolution of Intention which includes the Rate and Method of Apportionment (“RMA”) for CFD No. 2022-1 (Stormwater). The RMA was prepared by NBS and describes the rates and methods special taxes may be levied within the CFD beginning in Fiscal Year 2022/23 and defines the types of property that may be levied a special tax. The property included in the CFD at formation is Tract 83178 (707 N Barranca Ave), consisting of one large lot parcel that will be developed into 151 residential townhomes. The initial maximum special tax rate is $287 per dwelling unit, which will increase annually by 5.0%.
The Resolution of Intention sets a noticed public hearing for Tuesday, April 5, 2022, at 7:30 p.m.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs associated with the consultant services related to the CFD formation are to be paid by the developer. The annual levy and collection of special taxes and CFD administration will be charged to the CFD.
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):
This activity will not result in a reasonably foreseeable change to the physical environment; it is exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines 15061 (b) (2) and (3) and does not constitute a project.

WHEREAS, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Sections 53311 and following, California Government Code; hereafter referred to as the “Act”), the City Council of City of Covina (the “City Council”) may commence proceedings for the establishment of a community facilities district, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has received petitions (including waivers) satisfying all of the requirements of Section 53319 of the Government Code submitted on behalf of the landowners proposing to establish a community facilities district within the District under the terms of the Act, to provide for the costs of operating and maintaining stormwater and appurtenant facilities, and this City Council now desires to commence proceedings to establish a community facilities district (the “District”) as described herein; and WHEREAS, under the Act, the City Council is the legislative body for the proposed District and is empowered with the authority to establish the District and levy special taxes within the District; and
WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to proceed with the actions necessary to consider the establishment of the District.

This procedure shall be exclusive and its exhaustion by any property owner shall be a condition precedent to filing any legal action by such owner.

CITY OF COVINA
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2022-1
(STORMWATER)
On March 1, 2022, the City Council of City of Covina adopted a Resolution entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of City of Covina, Declaring Its Intention to Establish a Community Facilities District and to Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes” (the “Resolution of Intention”). Reference is hereby made to the Resolution of Intention on file in the office of the City Clerk of City of Covina for further particulars.

The proposed boundaries of the District were identified in another exhibit to the Resolution of Intention, and the Resolution of Intention identified a proposed special tax to be levied on real property to be included in the District to pay for costs of the services.
In the Resolution of Intention, the City Council provided that the levy of the special tax will be subject to a mailed ballot election among the owners of land in the District.
The City Council ordered the Director of Finance to prepare a report on the District, and the City Council called for a public hearing on the District.

year from the date of the decision of the City Council, and if the majority protests of the registered voters or the landowners are only against the furnishing of a type or types of services within the District, or against levying a specified special tax, those types of services, or the specified special tax, will be eliminated from the proceedings to form the District.
Any person interested in these matters is invited to attend and present testimony either for or against the above item. If you challenge the proposed action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City Council during or prior to the public hearing.

Meeting: CC Regular Meeting - Mar 01 2022
Title: Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021 Presented By: Anita Agramonte, Administrative Services Director Theresa Franke, Finance Manager
Recommendation: Receive and file the following reports for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2021:
• Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and related Auditor Communications
• Independent Accountants' Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures Applied to Appropriations Limit
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Annually, the Finance Division of the Administrative Services Department prepares and publishes the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) following the completion of an independent and certified audit.
Attached is the June 30, 2021 ACFR and related reports. The ACFR is an extensive report summarizing the financial activities of the City that occurred from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
BACKGROUND:
The ACFR is prepared in compliance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requirements and attached hereto as Attachment A. Pursuant to GASB guidelines, the City's ACFR is divided into three sections: Introductory, Financial, and Statistical. The Introductory Section provides a brief overview of the City and contains a Letter of Transmittal, Organizational Chart and List of Principal Officials. The Financial Section contains the Independent Auditors' Report, Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), and the Basic Financial Statements including Notes to the Financial Statements. The Statistical Section presents a variety of reports useful in analyzing the City's financial and operational history as well as evaluating the City's financial stability.
DISCUSSION:
The audit firm of CliffordLarsonAllen LLP has issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion on the financial statements as presented in the ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. This means that their examination, testing and audit procedures allowed them to conclude that the financial statements present fairly the financial position of the City. This is the best opinion the City can receive from its auditors.
In addition, the independent auditors annually perform procedures to assist the City in meeting the requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution which requires that California cities establish an annual appropriations limit (the "Gann Limit"). Their findings are reflected on the Appropriations Limit Worksheet No. 6 as detailed in Attachment B.
In conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Uniform Guidance, the auditors also perform an annual single audit when required. In Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2021, a Single Audit was required and will be presented to the City Council upon completion.
Additionally, the Auditor Letter to the City Council attached hereto as Attachment C provides information about the auditor's responsibilities under generally accepted Government Auditing Standards, as well as information related to the planned scope and timing of the audit.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Covina
Covina, California
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the City of Covina (City), California, as of June 30, 2021 and for the year then ended, is submitted herewith. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the various funds of the City. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial activities have been included.
The financial statements are the responsibility of the City’s management. Completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report is based upon a comprehensive framework of internal controls that is established for this purpose. The costs of internal control should not exceed the anticipated benefits. The objective of internal controls is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) interprets the financial reports by analyzing trends and by explaining changes, fluctuations, and variations in the financial data. In addition, the MD&A is intended to disclose any known significant events or decisions that affect the financial condition of the City. MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
Independent Audit. City policy requires that its financial statements be audited by a certified public accountant. CliffordLarsonAllen, Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unqualified (“clean”) opinion on the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The auditor’s report on the basic financial statements and required supplementary information is included in the financial section of this report.
The City is legally required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Uniform Guidance, Audits of State and Local Governments, if total federal grant expenditures exceed $750,000 in a single year. The City of Covina is a recipient of federal, state and county assistance, and for Fiscal Year 2020-21 it will be subject to the requirements of a Single Audit as it did have Federal expenditures greater than the $750,000 threshold.
iii
Profile of the City of Covina
The City is a mature, suburban city located twenty-three miles east of downtown Los Angeles in the eastern portion of the San Gabriel Valley. The City encompasses an area of approximately seven square miles and is virtually built out. The current population is 48,833 according to the State of California Department of Finance.
The City is a general law city, incorporated in 1901. The City Council is composed of five members elected biannually at large to four year alternating terms. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem are selected by the City Council annually.
The City has a Council/Manager form of government. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council to manage the daily affairs of the City and to implement policies established by the City Council.
This report includes all the funds of the City. The City provides a full range of services including police and fire protection (via a contract with the Los Angeles County Fire Department); construction and maintenance of highways, streets and infrastructure; library and recreational services; public transportation; planning and economic development; housing; and administrative services. In addition to general municipal activities, the City provides water and sewer services.
The Council is required to adopt a final budget by June 30th of each fiscal year. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The budget is prepared by fund, program (e.g., public safety), and activity (e.g., police patrol). Department heads may transfer resources within each activity as needed. The City Manager may transfer resources between activities within a fund. Transfers between funds require approval from the City Council.
In accordance with the reporting entity definition of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the City has included the Covina Public Financing Authority, the Successor Agency for the former Covina Redevelopment Agency (as of February 1, 2012), and the Covina Housing Authority in the financial report.
Several state and county agencies, as well as school districts, provide services to the City but do not meet the established criteria for inclusion, and accordingly are excluded from this report.
Economic Condition and Outlook
Much of the local development of the City occurred during the post-World War II building boom, which took place from the late 1940’s through the 1960’s. Prior to the building boom, the City was a major citrus producing area.
The character of the City is one of predominantly low to medium density residential and lowintensity commercial and light industrial uses. Single-family residential properties are the most common use. In addition, there are many commercial establishments, particularly community and neighborhood shopping centers, and a relatively large number of small to medium-sized professional offices and light manufacturing operations. The local economy is based on a variety of service, retail, and light manufacturing businesses as well as government agencies.
iv
The City’s economy always has been healthy, though relatively small in population and area. The City consistently ranks high in retail sales tax generation and sales tax per capita among San Gabriel Valley cities. This is primarily due to the mix of retail businesses located in the City as well as a voter-approved transaction and use tax. Despite being in the middle of the well- established San Gabriel Valley, Covina retains a small-town atmosphere. The nearby San Bernardino, Foothill, and Orange Freeways, and the Southern California Regional Rail Authority Metrolink Commuter Rail Line link the City to other areas of metropolitan Los Angeles.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
of the City of Covina
Covina, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Covina (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of City Council
of the City of Covina

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Covina as of June 30, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 23 to the financial statements, the City made a restatement to beginning net position. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information

Such information, although not a part of the financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the 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 financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the required supplementary information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(4)
The following discussion and analysis of the City of Covina’s (City) financial performance provides an overview of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. This report is prepared in conjunction with the accompanying transmittal letter and basic financial statements and notes.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $106,884,954. The Governmental Activities have a deficit unrestricted net position of $37,601,064. Business-type Activities have unrestricted net position of $14,518,926.
The City’s net position for governmental and business-type activities increased by $7,231,966 or 7.26% from the previous fiscal year.
The total cost of all City activities was $70,947,722 for the current fiscal year. Net cost of all activities was $35,975,218.
During the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental activities net revenues exceeded net expenses by $4,151,787.
In the City’s business-type activities, net revenues exceeded net expenses by $3,080,179. The total fund balance of the City’s governmental funds was $35,499,658 at the close of the fiscal year. This includes $20,800,219 fund balance of the General Fund, $10,878,058 of which is unassigned and is available for spending at the City’s discretion (see note 14 of Notes to the Financial Statements). General Fund revenues and other financing sources (uses) exceeded expenditures by $6,527,760 for the fiscal year.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. The report also contains required supplementary information and other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to private-sector business.
Statement of Net Position
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows, liabilities and deferred inflows, the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
Statement of Activities
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) and from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities include General Government, Public Safety, Public Works, Culture and Recreation, Community Development, Transit, Redevelopment and Housing, and Interest on Long-Term Debt. The businesstype activities include Water Utility, Environmental Protection, and Sewer.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(5)
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government) but also the blending of the legally separate Covina Public Financing Authority, and Covina Housing Authority for which the City is financially accountable. These component units are therefore included as an integral part of the primary government.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided in three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the City’s near-term financing requirements.
The focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements; it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. This will provide a better understanding of the long-term impact of the City’s near-term financing decisions. The Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains twenty-four individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental funds Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for the General fund which is considered to be a major fund. Information from the other non-major governmental funds is combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the supplementary information section of the report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for all of the governmental funds. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided in the required supplementary information section for the General fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided in the supplementary information section for the non-major governmental funds.
Proprietary Funds
The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City’s enterprise funds account for the Water Utility, Environmental Protection and Sewer. Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among various City functions. The City’s internal service funds account for Information Technology, Central Equipment, Workers’ Compensation, and Public Liability. These services predominately benefit governmental and have been allocated within the governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Water Utility, Environmental Protection and Sewer. Water and Sewer funds are considered to be major funds of the City. Conversely, all Central Equipment, Information Technology, Workers’ Compensation, and Public Liability internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the supplementary information section of this report.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds (private purpose trust fund and custodial fund) are used to account for the assets and activities for which the City acts as trustee. The Statement of Fiduciary Net Position reports the assets and liabilities of the fund and the net position is reported as “held in trust for others”.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(6)
The government-wide financial statements exclude fiduciary funds.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to the full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Total Net Position
Net position reflects the excess of assets and deferred outflows of resources over liabilities and deferred inflows of resources and may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City’s financial position.
As detailed in the Government-Wide Financial Statements-Statement of Net Position, the City’s total net position for governmental and business-type activities was $106.9 million at the close of the fiscal year, which is an increase of $7.2 million or 8.32% from the previous fiscal year.
The largest portion of that net position, $114.6 million, is in capital assets (land, buildings and structures, infrastructure, and machinery and equipment) less any related debt outstanding used to acquire those assets.
Capital assets are acquired for the purpose of providing services and infrastructure and are unavailable for future spending. Resources needed to repay related debt outstanding must be provided from other sources before liquidating capital assets to satisfy these liabilities.
Additionally, $15.4 million of the City’s total net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions such as public safety, transit, and capital projects. Those restrictions are designated by certain federal, state, and local statutes and may not be used by the City for ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
This leaves the City with a deficit unrestricted net position of $19.1 million.
Governmental Activities
This analysis focuses on the net position and changes in net position of the City’s governmental activities, as presented in the Statement of Net Position.
The net position of the governmental activities represents 55.84% of the City’s total net position. As reflected in the following table, restricted governmental activities net position increased by $.9 million (6.5%) from the previous fiscal year. This portion of net position is subject to external restrictions relating to public safety, public works, community development, culture and recreation, transit and redevelopment and housing. 2021 2020
Current and other assets $ 49,819,905 $ 44,698,963
Capital assets 89,652,961 86,455,238

Governmental Activities Change in Net Position
As reflected above, the City’s net revenues exceeded net expenses of governmental activities by $4.1 million.
Compared to the previous year, 2021 revenues show an increase of $7.5 million while expenses increased by $1.2 million.
The revenue increase in Charges for Services of $868,000 includes Community Development activity, including building permits, plan review, and code enforcement activities which increased by $449,000, while animal control revenue increased by $108,000. Additionally, $412,000 of the increase is attributable to overnight parking permits and late fees which were suspended for much of the prior fiscal year. The overall increase in charges for services was slightly offset by a $201,000 reduction in Culture and Recreation revenues due to cancelled activities.
Other revenues that saw significant increases include transaction and use tax of $1.5 million as well as an increase in sales tax of $1.5 million. Property taxes increased by $1 million reflecting a robust real estate market.
In addition, operating grants reflect an increase of $1.7 million which includes COVID-19 Relief Funds totaling $660,000 from the Federal government and from Los Angeles County, and Measure W-Safe Clean Water Program revenue in the amount of $929,000. The increase in capital grants of $842,000 is attributable to $888,000 in grant revenue received for Banna Park development. The increase in Miscellaneous Revenue reflects $420,000 from the Prop A swap discussed in the following paragraph.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(8)
The increase in general government expenses reflects $715,000 of increased cost of Public Safety and $578,000 increase in transit costs. The Public Safety increase reflects an increase in PERS unfunded liability. The transit cost increase reflects a Prop A swap with the City of Beverly Hills in which Covina was able to sell $600,000 of Prop A funds in exchange for $420,000 added to the City’s General Fund.
Net expenses reflected on the Statement of Activities are good indications of the extent to which the services provided by the City are financed from taxes paid by the citizens (general revenues) as opposed to recovering the cost of these services with user fees and other contributions (program revenues). Transit and Redevelopment and Housing program revenues are sufficient to cover related expenses. Community Development required $591,096 in contributions from the General Fund, which is substantially less than in the prior fiscal year. In addition, Public Safety, Public Works and Culture and Recreation expenses are financed primarily from general revenues.
Expenses and associated program revenues for each governmental function are reflected on the following table.
As reflected on the following graph, taxes, operating grants and contributions, and charges for services provide 100% of the overall revenue sources of the governmental activities. Taxes include property, sales, utility users and other taxes (transient occupancy, property transfer, business license and franchise). Other revenues experienced a net reduction, as interest earnings decreased. In addition, although the market value of the City’s investments increased, the cost basis increased by a larger amount resulting in recognition of a net decrease to unrealized gains.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(9)
The next graph demonstrates governmental activity expenses by function/program. Note that public safety and public works represent 75.6% of the governmental activities’ expenditures; this is consistent with the City’s highest priority of citizen safety and well-being. Culture and recreation represent 7.8% of governmental activities as the City is committed to providing valuable programs to the community.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business-type Activities
The analysis of business-type activities focuses on the net position and changes in net position of the City’s Water Utility, Environmental Protection, and Sewer functions. The following table summarizes the business-type net position for fiscal years 2020 and 2021. Current year detail can be found in the Government-Wide Financial Statements, Statement of Net Position.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(11)
As reflected above, the City’s business-type program revenues (charges for services) exceeded program expenses by $1.5 million. Total business-type program revenues increased by $1.3 million from the prior fiscal year. This reflects a $1 million increase in water service charges as well as an increase in environmental protection service charges of $141,000. General revenues increased by $1.1 million due predominately to the increased earnings in the City’s investment in Covina Irrigating Company.
Water, Sewer, and Environmental charges for services were sufficient to cover both operating and interest expenses for the respective functions during the fiscal year.
Total business-type expenses increased by $102,115 from the previous fiscal year; a major factor is an increase of $575,000 in the Water Utility expenditures reflecting increased PERS contributions and in Water Source and Supply cost. Although there was an increase in salaries and benefits, there was a decrease in Other Professional Fees previously paid for contracted customer service and billing services which are now performed by City staff.
Expenses and associated program revenues for each business-type function are reflected on the following table.
As reflected on the following chart, charges for services are the major source of revenue to be used for businesstype activity operating and capital maintenance costs. Water Utility Charges for Services include water sales, service fees, connection fees and other miscellaneous charges. Environmental protection charges include fees for refuse and recycling services, compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and permit fees for storm water and industrial waste. Sewer charges for services include fees established to recover the cost of operating the sewer system throughout the City. Other revenues reflect investment earnings.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(12)
The next chart demonstrates business-type activity expenses by function/program. Water comprises the majority of expenditures, which includes water source and supply resale, administration, and depreciation.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY FUNDS
The City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
The fund financial statements focus on individual parts of City government, reporting City operations in more detail than government-wide statements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. This information assesses the City’s financing requirements. Unassigned fund balance is a measure of the City’s net resources available for designation or spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2021, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $35.5 million, an increase of $4.1 million from the prior fiscal year. There is $10.5 million of Unassigned fund balance available for designation and/or future spending at the City’s discretion. The remaining fund balance is nonspendable, restricted, committed or assigned and is not available for spending at the City’s discretion, as detailed in Note 14 of Notes to the Financial Statements.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(13)
The following is a summary of fund balances of the governmental funds for fiscal years 2016-2021:
*Certain balances have been restated due to prior period adjustments.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. As displayed in the Governmental Fund Financial Statements-Balance Sheet, the fund balance of the General Fund at the end of Fiscal Year 2020-21 was $20.8 million and is classified as follows: $1 million non-spendable, $8.5 million committed, $388,000 restricted, $17,117 assigned, and $10.9 million unassigned. In keeping with the City Council’s Reserve Policy, the $8.5 million in committed fund balance reflects the City’s Emergency Contingency Reserve and represents 20% of General Fund expenditures. Additionally, the unassigned fund balance in the General Fund represents 25.57% of total General Fund expenditures.
The fund balance of the General Fund increased by $6.5 million during the fiscal year which is primarily attributable to Property Tax increase of $1 million, Sales Tax and Transaction and Use Tax increase totaling $3 million and the increase in other taxes of $520,700. Increases in Licenses and Permits of $604,000, Intergovernmental Revenue of $356,000, and Charges for Services of $300,000.
Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds financial statements provide the same type of information found in the governmentwide statements, but provide detail specific to the City’s water utility, environmental and sewer enterprises.
Net position of the Water Utility fund is $38.6 million, an increase of $2.2 million from the prior fiscal year. Of that, $11.1 million is unrestricted. Environmental Protection fund unrestricted net position decreased to $874,000 from $984,000 in the prior year. The net position of the Sewer fund increased to $8.4 million from $7.5 million in the prior year. Of that, $4.4 million is unrestricted. Other factors concerning the finances of these three funds are addressed in the discussion of the business-type activities.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Appropriation differences between the original budget and the final budget are $258,000 which represents a .6% increase. The increases include appropriation carryovers from the prior fiscal year of $101,669 and mid-year adjustments of $1.3 million. Of those amounts, $80,000 was carried over for Public Safety and $20,000 was carried over for Literacy Support. Mid-year adjustments included $1.4 million to cover Internal Service Fund charges, which were initially projected to be unfunded, which would have necessitated the use of reserves to fund Workers Compensation, Central Equipment and Information Technology. The mid-year appropriation increases were offset by reduced appropriations to the Parks and Recreation department due to their inability to hold classes and programs due to COVID-19.

CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The City’s investment in capital assets for governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2021, is $139.9 million (net of accumulated depreciation). Capital assets include buildings and structures, improvements other than buildings, domain infrastructure, water system infrastructure, sanitary sewer infrastructure, machinery and equipment, and construction in progress. The following table is a summary of capital assets (net of accumulated depreciation) at June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Outstanding Debt
(net of unamortized charges)
The increase in long-term debt from 2020 to 2021 in governmental activities was $5.1 million predominately due to increase net pension liability. Business-type activities liabilities increased by $3.5 million primarily due to entering into an installment purchase agreement to payoff water bonds and capital leases while at the same time increasing the debt to fund water capital projects.
The Covina Public Financing Authority maintains an “AA-” S&P Global rating for the wastewater revenue bonds.
Additional information on the City’s long-term debt and other long-term liabilities can be found in Note 9, 13 and 17 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
The City applied sound budgeting practices and considered new residential and retail development in formulating a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22. Prudent, cost-saving budget practices, including pro-active debt management, will continue into future years.
The conservative budget policies put in place by Council direction, emphasized by the City Manager and supported by staff, as well as the voter approved transaction and use tax measure have enabled the City of Covina to remain fiscally solvent. As reflected on Note 14 of Notes to the Financial Statements, the City’s emergency contingency reserve is $8.5 million, or 20% of General Fund expenditures, which meets the Council’s goal as set forth in the City’s budget policy.
The City continues to be cautiously conservative in revenue and expenditure projections. With that in mind, the Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget projects an overall increase in revenues in comparison to Fiscal Year 2020-21. The bulk of the increase is in tax revenues and is mainly attributable to the reduced impact the COVID pandemic is anticipated to bear on the economy. This increase is partially offset by projected decreases in Other Revenues which included one-time revenues in the prior fiscal year.
Department budgets reflect slight increases attributed to increases in PERS unfunded liability costs and negotiated MOU adjustments, as well as the increase in the City's Fire Contract with Los Angeles County.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(16)
The City will receive approximately $11.4 million through the American Rescue Plan Act. The monies must be obligated for use by December 31, 2024 and fully expended by December 31, 2026. In August, 2021, the City Council accepted the first tranche of $5.7 million and allocated the funds to programs supporting the public health response to COVID and addressing related negative economic impacts.

(23)
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds $ 4,145,379 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures and do not include capital contributions. However, in the Statement of Activities, the costs of those assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense and capital contributions are recognized as revenue. This is the amount by which capital outlay exceeded depreciation expense in the current period and the amount of capital contributions received.
Capital Outlay $ 7,813,707
Deletions (211,914)
Depreciation Expense (5,190,543) 2,411,250
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when the debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities. These amounts are the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.
Principal Payments 310,000
Amortization Premium on Bonds 11,559 321,559
Pension expense reported in the governmental funds includes the annual required contributions. In the Statement of Activities, pension expense includes the change in the net pension liability, and related changes in pension amounts for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources. (3,049,372) Other postemployment benefit expense reported in the governmental funds includes payment of premiums for the current year. In the Statement of Activities, OPEB expense includes the change in the net other postemployment benefit liability and OPEB related deferred inflows of resources. (100,797) Accrued interest is interest due on long-term debt payable. This is the net change in accrued interest for the current period.
Changes in Interest Payable for the Current Year 1,328
Internal service funds are used by management to charge costs of activities involved in rendering services to departments within the City. The changes in net position of the internal service funds are included in the Statement of Activities. 286,939 Compensated absences are not reported in the governmental funds until such amounts become due and payable. (23,624)
Certain revenues in the governmental funds are deferred because they are not collected within the prescribed time period after year-end. However, the revenues are included on the accrual basis used in the government-wide statements. This amount represents the change during the fiscal year. 159,125

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The financial statements of the City of Covina (City) include the financial activities of the City, the Covina Public Financing Authority and the Covina Housing Authority. Their financial operations are closely related, and the City Council has a continuing responsibility over the entities. The responsibility is determined based on budget adoption, taxing authority, funding and appointments of the governing board. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are part of the City’s operations and therefore data from these units are combined with data of the City.
Since the City Council acts as the Board of Directors and can impose its will on the Covina Public Financing Authority and the Covina Housing Authority, the City is the primary government and the other two entities are component units. Additionally, since the governing boards of the City and the two other component units are the same, there is a potential for the component units to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. Therefore, the financial statements of the City and the two component units are blended.
The City of Covina was incorporated in 1901 as a General Law City. The City provides a broad range of services to its citizens, including general government, public safety, streets, sanitation and health, culture and park facilities and social services.
The Covina Redevelopment Agency (Agency) was established in 1969, pursuant to the State of California, Health and Safety Code, Section 33000. Its purpose is to prepare and carry out plans for the improvement, rehabilitation and development of blighted areas within the territorial limits of the City of Covina. On June 28, 2011, Assembly Bill X1 26 (AB X1 26), the Dissolution bill was enacted. On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of AB X1 26, and all redevelopment agencies in California were dissolved by operation of law effective February 1, 2012. The legislation provides for successor agencies and oversight boards that are responsible for overseeing the dissolution process and wind down of redevelopment activity. On January 11, 2012, the City adopted a resolution declaring its intent to serve as the Successor Agency and on January 30, 2012, the City Council adopted a resolution to retain the Housing assets and functions of the former redevelopment agency and the Housing Authority of the City will serve as the Housing Successor Agency.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) A. Financial Reporting Entity (Continued)
The Successor Agency to the Covina Redevelopment Agency (SACRA) was created to serve as a custodian for the assets and to wind down the affairs of the former Agency.
The SACRA is a separate public entity from the City, subject to the direction of an Oversight Board. In general, the SACRA’s 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, the SACRA will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former Agency until all enforceable obligations of the former Agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated. The SACRA’s is a fiduciary component unit and is reported as a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund).
The Covina Public Financing Authority (Authority) is a joint powers authority organized pursuant to the State of California Government Code, Section 6500. The Authority exists under a Joint Exercise of Power Agreement between the City of Covina and the Covina Redevelopment Agency. Its purpose is to facilitate financing for public capital improvements of the City and the Agency. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the Authority.
The Covina Housing Authority (Housing Authority) was formed January 25, 2011, in order to continue to achieve the goals established by the Housing Element of the general plan. A housing authority collaborates with public, private and nonprofit entities agencies for the purpose of providing sanitary and safe housing for people of very low, low or moderate income within a city or county’s territorial jurisdiction. The core activities of many housing authorities are primarily to build, acquire, own, manage and maintain residential rental units and to provide financial assistance for rentals or ownership in the private real estate market. A housing authority is governed by the state Housing Authority Law, and for purposes of major federal funding, if any is received, regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Further, a housing authority is not required under the Housing Authority Law to seek HUD or any other type of outside funding. On January 30, 2012, the City Council adopted a resolution to retain the Housing assets and functions of the dissolved Agency and the Housing Authority of the City will serve as the Housing Successor Agency. The activity is reflected in the Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the Housing Authority.
The accounting policies of the City, the Authority and the Housing Authority conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governments. The following is a summary of the more significant policies.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The accompanying financial statements are presented on the basis prescribed in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments. The financial statements of the City are as follows:
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities report information on all the activities of the primary government (including its blended component units). The City of Covina has no discretely presented component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange transactions, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
Separate financial statements of the City, including blended component units, are provided for major individual governmental, proprietary and fiduciary funds, which include the private-purpose trust fund and custodial fund. 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.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary and fiduciary funds statements. With this measurement focus, all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources associated with the operation of the City are included on the statement of net position. Net position (assets plus deferred outflows of resources less liabilities less deferred inflows of resources) are segregated into net investment in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted and unrestricted components. The Statement of Activities and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Position of Proprietary Funds present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total position. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Under this determination, unbilled service receivables are recorded at fiscal year-end.
Nonexchange transactions are typically described as taxes, fines and certain grants and donations. In a nonexchange transaction, a government gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in return. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Government fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. With this measurement focus, only current assets, current liabilities and current deferred inflows of resources generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds’ present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balance. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when they become susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period). For this purpose, the City considers revenues including property taxes to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Certain grant revenues are available if they are collected within months of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured principal and interest on long-term debt, claims and judgments and compensated absences, which are recognized only when due and payable at fiscal yearend. General capital asset acquisitions and debt service principal payments are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds from long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Property taxes, charges for services, grant revenues and investment earnings are susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Licenses and permits and fines and forfeitures are not susceptible to accrual because they are not measurable until received in cash. Grant revenues earned but not received are recorded as a receivable, and grants received before the related revenue recognition criteria have been met are reported as unearned revenues.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
This fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Water Utility Fund

Fiduciary Funds
Private-Purpose Trust Fund
This fund is to account for custodial responsibilities that are assigned to SACRA with the passage of AB X1 26 and was established on February 1, 2012. The fund accounts for the receipt of property tax revenues pursuant to the dissolution of the Agency and expenses incurred pursuant to the recognized obligation payment schedule (ROPS) approved by the State Department of Finance. This fund follows the accrual basis of accounting.
Custodial Funds
These funds are used to account for funds in which the City is acting as an agent for another entity. These funds are reported using the accrual basis of accounting.
As a rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges for the City water utility, sewer services and environmental services and indirect general government expenses to other functions and funds of the City. Elimination of the water utility, sewer service charges and environmental service charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Expenses reported in various funds include allocated indirect general government expenses.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses from operations generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Water Utility, Sewer and nonmajor (Environmental) enterprise funds and the City’s internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The Water Utility recognizes as operating revenue capital improvement fees intended for construction and rehabilitation of the water system. Operating expenses for enterprise and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as needed.
D. Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditures of funds are recorded, is employed in governmental funds. Amounts encumbered in the current year are treated as restricted, committed or assigned fund equity since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. At fiscal year-end, encumbrances outstanding are shown as restricted or assigned fund balance.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The City considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All cash and investments, except for cash and investments with fiscal agents, are pooled with the City’s pooled cash and investments and are therefore considered cash equivalents.
G. Investments
Investments are stated at fair value using quoted market prices. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Investment elements, including interest and changes in fair value, are aggregated and reported as investment earnings in the financial statements.
H. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. The inventories consist primarily of water parts, vehicle and equipment parts and gasoline.
Inventories of governmental funds are considered immaterial and are recorded as expenditures when purchased under the purchases method. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements utilizing the consumption method.
I. Compensated Absences
The City permits employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. All vacation pay and a portion of the sick pay are accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)J J. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (roads, bridges, sidewalks, water, sewer and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with a cost of more than $5,000 (more than $1,000 for certain vehicles and information technology equipment) and an estimated useful life of more than two years. Such assets are recorded at historical or estimated historical cost. Contributed and donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the life of the asset are not capitalized.
Major capital outlays and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Property, plant and equipment of the City is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Type of Asset Life in Years
Buildings and Structures 20 - 40 Years
Improvements Other than Buildings 20 Years
Public Domain Infrastructure 15 - 50 Years
Water System Infrastructure 20 - 50 Years
Sanitary Sewer System Infrastructure 20 - 50 Years
Machinery and Equipment 5 - 20 Years
K. Leased Property
The City receives some of its operating revenues in the form of rent payments from lessees of the parcels of land. The period of these leases could range from three to five years. The rent paid by each lessee is a set monthly amount determined by the lease agreement. All leases are cancellable.

L. Claims and Judgments
The accrual for workers’ compensation and general liability claims is based upon an actuarial review of the past experience which has been modified for current trends and information. While the ultimate amount of losses incurred through June 30, 2021 is dependent on future developments, based on information from the plan administrators, City management believes that the aggregate accrual is adequate to cover such losses, including amounts for incurred but not reported.
M. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported as fair value. CalPERS audited financial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained on the CalPERS’s website under Forms and Publications.
N. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability and deferred outflows/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 Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) O. Net Position
Net position in the statement of net position is categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted and unrestricted.
Net Investment in Capital Assets. This category groups all capital assets into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt (including discounts and premiums) that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
Restricted Net Position. This category presents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position. This category represents net position of the City not restricted for any project or other purpose.
P. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until that time.
The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category:
Deferred loss on refunding, net of accumulated amortization, results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
Deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB equal to employer contributions made after the measurement date of the net pension liability. Deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB for differences between expected and actual experience. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the plans. Deferred outflows from OPEB resulting from changes in assumptions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions and retiree healthcare benefits through the plans.

These amounts are amortized over five years.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category:
Deferred gain on refunding, net of accumulated amortization, results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
Deferred inflows from grants that are reported as unavailable as these amounts are not available to pay current expenditures in governmental funds Deferred inflows related and OPEB for differences between expected and actual experience.

Investment of debt proceeds and reserves held by bond trustees are governed by the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code. The City and SACRA bond reserves are held in money market mutual funds.
Interest Rate Risk
Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the fair market values of an investment. The interest rate risk is monitored by the City by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater sensitivity of its fair market value to changes in market interest rates.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law. The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
As of June 30, 2021, all the City’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits were held in collateralized accounts.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon its pro rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio. The balance available for withdrawal is based on LAIF accounting records and recorded on an amortized basis.
Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets in active markets and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

Taxes are levied in September and are payable in two installments on November 1 and February 1 and are delinquent after December 10 and April 10, respectively. Any unpaid amounts at the end of the fiscal year are recorded as property taxes receivable. The County of Los Angeles bills and collects the property taxes and subsequently remits the amount due to the City of Covina in installments during the year. Historically, the City has received substantially all of the taxes levied within two years from the date they are levied.
The County is permitted by State Law (Article XIII A of the California Constitution) to levy taxes at 1% of full market value (at time of purchase) and can increase the property’s value no more than 2% per year. The City receives a share of this basic levy proportionate to what it received in the 1976 to 1978 period.

NOTE 7 LOANS RECEIVABLE
The City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides low-income housing and economic assistance to qualifying households and businesses. The loans do not require monthly repayment. In addition to CDBG loans, first-time homebuyer loans made by the former Covina Redevelopment Agency are now administered by the Housing Authority. The loans for the first-time homebuyer and for down payment assistance bear interest from 1.5% to 6.875%. The first-time home buyer loans are forgiven after 45 consecutive years of occupying the home purchased, while the down payment assistance is forgiven after 20 years of occupying the home purchased. The housing rehabilitation program loan is secured by a deed of trust on the property and is due upon sale or transfer of the title of the property. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2021, of all loans was $1,854,467.

A. General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Descriptions
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City’s Safety (police) cost sharing defined benefit plan and the Miscellaneous (all other) Plan, agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers. Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by State statute and City resolution.
CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 to 62 with statutorily reduced benefits. For employees hired into a plan with the 1.5% at 65 formula, eligibility for service retirement is age 55 with at least five years of service.
PEPRA miscellaneous members become eligible for service retirement upon attainment of age 52 with at least five years of service. All members are eligible for nonduty disability benefits after five years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. Safety members can receive a special death benefit if the member dies while actively employed and the death is job related. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.

NOTE 9 PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
A. General Information about the Pension Plans (Continued) Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’s annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. City contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contributions requirements are classified as plan member contributions. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, employer contributions of $2,995,659 and $3,885,326 were made for the miscellaneous and safety plans, respectively.
B. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2020, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2019 rolled forward to June 30, 2020 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown on the following page.

Pre-retirement and postretirement morality rates include 15 years of projected mortality improvement using 90% of Scale MP-2016 published by the Society of Actuaries.

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

NOTE 9 PENSION PLANS (CONTINUED)
B. Net Pension Liability (Continued)
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return (Continued)
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short term (first 10 years) and the long term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short term and long term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The expected real rates of return by assets class are as follows:
Assumed Real Return Real Return
Asset Years Years
Allocation 1 - 10 (b) 11+ (c)
Global Equity 50.00 % 4.80 % 5.98 %
Fixed Income 28.00 1.00 2.62

Private Equity 8.00 6.30 7.23
Real Assets 13.00 0.04 4.93
Liquidity 1.00 - (0.92)
Total 100.00 %
(a) In the CalPERS ACFR, fixed income is included in global debt securities; liquidity is included in short-term investments; and inflation assets are included in both global equity securities and global debt securities.
(b) An expected inflation of 2.0% was used for this period. (c) An expected inflation of 2.92% was used for this period.
Asset Class (a)
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Subsequent Events
There were no subsequent events that would materially affect the results in this disclosure.

NOTE 14 FUND BALANCES
As prescribed by GASB Statement No. 54, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific Purposes for which amounts in the funds can be spent. As of June 30, 2021, fund balances for governmental funds are made up of the following:
Nonspendable Fund Balance. Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that are (a) not in spendable form, or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The not in spendable form criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash (for example, inventories, prepaid amounts and due from successor agency in the General Fund).
Restricted Fund Balance. Restricted fund balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally or through enabling legislation. Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only with the consent of resource providers.
Committed Fund Balance. Committed fund balance includes amounts that can only be used for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, the City Council. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City Council taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally (for example: resolution and ordinance). Ordinance is the highest level of the City Council’s approval.
Assigned Fund Balance. Assigned fund balance comprises amounts intended to be used by the City for specific purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by (1) the City Council or (b) a body (for example: a budget or finance committee) or official to which the City Council has delegated through its fund balance policy the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes. Assigned amounts also include all residual amounts in governmental funds (except negative amounts) other than the General Fund, that are not classified as nonspendable, restricted or committed.
Unassigned Fund Balance. Unassigned fund Balance is the residual classification for the General Fund and includes all amounts not contained in the other classifications.
Unassigned amounts are technically available for any purpose.
In circumstances when an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts are available in multiple fund balance classifications, fund balance is depleted in the order of restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned.
The City Council adopted a Reserve Policy. The policy aims to help reduce the negative impact on the City in times of economic uncertainty and potential losses of funding from other governmental agencies. City reserves are restricted for one-time purposes. The policy establishes minimum requirements for General Fund nondepartmental reserves and provides guidelines for the use of these funds.

NOTE 17 OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
A. General Information about the OPEB Plan
Plan Description
The City provides retiree medical benefits under the CalPERS health plan which provides medical insurance benefits to eligible retirees and their spouses in accordance with various labor agreements. This plan is a single-employer defined benefit plan and does not issue separate financial statements. Copies of the CalPERS’s annual financial report may be obtained from the CalPERS Executive Office, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. Eligible employees that do not participate in the CalPERS health plan are eligible to receive monthly payments from the City. These benefits are accounted for under the OPEB liability.
Eligibility
Employees are eligible for retiree health benefits if they retire from the City on or after age 50 (unless disabled) and are eligible for a PERS pension. The benefits are available only to employees who retire from the City. Membership of the plan consisted of the following at the June 30, 2020, measurement date:
Active Plan Members 171
Inactive Employees or Beneficiaries Currently Receiving Benefit Payments 151 Inactive Employees Entitled to but not Yet Receiving Benefit Payments - Total 322
Contributions
The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by the City and the City Council. The City must agree to make a defined monthly payment toward the cost of each retiree’s overage.
B. Net OPEB Liability
The City’s net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2020, and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020.

Actuarial Assumptions
The total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2020 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified. The actuarial assumptions were based on a review of plan experience during the period June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2020.
Valuation Date June 30, 2020
Funding Method Entry-age normal cost, level percent of pay Discount Rate 3.34%
Investment Rate of Return 4.50% per year net of expenses Inflation 2.75%
Aggregate Payroll Increases 2.75%
Mortality Rate Preretirement mortality rates from Calpers Experience Study (1997 -2015)
Postretirement mortality rates for healthy recipients from Calpers Experience Study (1997-2015)
Healthcare Trend Rate
4.0% for 2020-2023: 5.2% for 2024-2069; and 4% for 2070 and later years. Medicare ages: 4% for 2020-2023 and 3.5% for 2024 and later years
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. The calculated investment rate of return was set equal to the expected ten-year compound (geometric) real rate of return plus inflation (rounded to the nearest 25 basis point where appropriate).
The table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class (based on published capital market assumptions).

NOTE 17 OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) (CONTINUED) B. Net OPEB Liability (Continued)
Discount Rate
GASB 75 generally requires that a blended discount rate be used to measure the Total OPEB Liability. The long-term expected return on plan investments may be used to discount liabilities to the extent that the plan’s Fiduciary Net Position (fair market value of assets) is projected to cover benefit payments and administrative expenses. A 20-year high quality (AA/Aa or higher) municipal bond rate must be used for periods where the Fiduciary Net Position is not projected to cover benefit payments and administrative expenses. Determining the discount rate under GASB 75 will often require that the actuary perform complex projections of future benefit payments and asset values. This has resulted in a blended discount rate of 3.34%, which takes into account the long-term expected rate of return of 4.5% and the Bond Buyer 20-Bond GO Index municipal bond rate of 2.45%.
Change in Assumptions
The discount rate was changed from 3.17% to 3.34% and the healthcare trend rate was changed to 4.0% in 2020-2023, 5.2% for 2024-2069 and decreasing to 3.5% for 2070 and later years. Medicare age healthcare trend was 4.0% for 2020-2023 and 3.5% for 2024 and later years.

NOTE 1 STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetary Information
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
1. City departments submit budget and service requests to the City Manager. The City Manager prepares a recommended budget to be presented to the City Council.
2. The annual budget is adopted by the City Council on or before June 30 of each fiscal year after holding public hearings to receive input for the general operation of the City. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
3. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, program and activity. Departments may make appropriation transfers within activities. The City Manager is authorized to make appropriation transfers between activities within funds excluding the contingency appropriation. The City Council approves total budgeted appropriations and any amendments between funds and the use of contingency appropriation. This appropriated budget covers City expenditures in all governmental funds. Actual expenditures may not exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. Budget figures used in the accompanying financial statements are the original budget including prior year carryovers and the final budget including current year amendments.
4. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year. Commitments for materials and services, such as purchase orders and contracts, are recorded as encumbrances to assist in controlling expenditures.
Encumbrances at year-end lapse, and then are added to the following year’s budgeted appropriations.
5. Annual budgets for governmental funds are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Accordingly, actual revenues and expenditures can be compared with related budgeted amounts without any significant reconciling items. No budgetary comparisons are presented for the proprietary funds, as the City is not legally required to adopt budgets for this fund type.
6. Appropriation for capital projects and certain grants and contributions authorized but not constructed or completed during the year lapse at year-end, and then are included as part of appropriations in the following years’ annual budget.
7. Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation), the City is restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes, and if proceeds of taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the State Controller or returned to the taxpayers through revised tax rates, revised fee schedules or other refund arrangements.
