Receive the Monthly Treasurerʹs Report for April 2026
Reasons for Recommendation
Background
California Government Code Section 41004 states:
Regularly, at least once each month, the city treasurer shall submit to the city clerk a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances.
The city treasurer shall file a copy with the legislative body.
The Cityʹs Municipal Code Section 2.24.030 Monthly Reports states:
The Treasurer shall make monthly reports which conform to the requirements of Government Code Section 41004. Said reports shall be delivered to the City Council, the City Manager and made available for review by such other persons who may so request.
The Treasurerʹs Report (report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances) is made available to City Council in compliance with the aforementioned requirements.
Cash vs. Accrual Basis Accounting
Cash basis accounting and accrual basis accounting differ in the way revenues and expenses are recognized and recorded, primarily with regard to their timing.
Under cash basis accounting, revenues
are recorded when payment is received, and
expenses are recorded when payment is made. This method of accounting recognizes transactions only when cash changes hands. In contrast, accrual basis accounting
2 recognizes revenues when they are earned (but not necessarily received) and expenses when they are incurred (but not necessarily paid). This method of accounting recognizes transactions as they occur, regardless of whether cash has been exchanged.
Receipts, disbursements, and cash balance are measured on a cash basis. The cash balance shows
the total cash and investments in the Cityʹs accounts. The ending balance is the beginning balance plus receipts minus disbursements. Journal adjustments generally include transactions recorded in other systems and imported into New World, Council‐ approved budget adjustments, quarterly Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) charges, and quarterly interest earnings.
Revenues, expenditures, and fund balance are measured on an accrual basis. As a result, the amount in fund balance does not mean the City has that much cash on hand. Instead, fund balance is the difference between assets and liabilities. The ending balance is the beginning balance plus revenues minus expenditures.
Treasurerʹs Report
The report provides an update on the Cityʹs cash and fund balances for April 2026. The report is as of May 21, 2026.
Note: Beginning balances have been updated to account for any final adjustments made as part of the month‐end close that could not
be completed before the prior report’s
preparation. These adjustments were necessary due to time constraints associated with completing the month‐end close process and generating the report.
Receipts, Disbursements, and Cash Balance
The Cityʹs General Fund ending cash and investment balance was $208.4 million, increasing by $5.6 million from
the prior month. Receipts were $11.2 million,
disbursements were $(8.1) million, and journal adjustments were $2.5 million for the month.
The Cityʹs total ending cash and investment balance was $321.8 million, increasing by $5.6 million from the prior month. Receipts were $11.7 million, disbursements were $(9.4) million, and journal adjustments were $3.2 million for the month.

Parks and Recreation transactions imported from Active Network into New World
Worker’s Compensation journals
Investment Earnings
Bank Reconciliation
PEG funds transfers for I&T
