2 STAFF COMMUNICATION:
City Manager Piccolotti provided an update on the complaints received concerning an area north of Thornton Beach, where a fence was erected without the necessary permits. He informed Council that the Acting Director of Economic and Community Development, Michael Van Lonkhuysen, and the Office of Code Enforcement have been alerted to the situation.
Code Enforcement Officer Ana Santiago reported on efforts the City is undertaking to address the fence surrounding a property on Olympic Way, which has restricted historic access to Thornton Beach and coastal trails. Santiago is working with the Planning Division, the Coastal Commission, and a legal team to investigate the issue and find a resolution. A multi-agency City team will also conduct a site inspection. A notice of violation has been issued to the property owner for constructing without City and coastal permits and possibly encroaching on public land. The City is also requesting documents, including permits, plans and survey data. Furthermore, Santiago shared a public safety report from the Police Department, including the presence of intimidating and threatening signs placed behind the fence.
ORAL COMMENT:
Sherwin Lum and Ray Satorre from the Daly City Host Lions Club invited the Council, the City Manager, and department heads to celebrate the club’s 85th anniversary at Nick’s Restaurant in Pacifica.
Satorre expressed pride in the club’s services to the community, highlighting its strength through diversity.
They also acknowledged Vice Mayor Proaño, Councilmember Manalo, and Chief Christensen , who are current members of the Lions.
Tirzo Rico, a contractor with TSR Construction, requested reimbursement for the construction and demolition deposit associated with permit number 058063. Tirzo mentioned that the job was completed back in 2020 and that he had previously discussed the refund with former Director Mothershead.
Tony Kasaris and Zachary Leyden, owners of Ocean View Stables, clarified to the community that the fence in question is not connected to their business and is owned by a different party . Zachary briefly described their business, expressed pride in being an active member of the Daly City community, and thanked the City for its prompt attention to the matter.
Tori Jacobs discussed the effects of the fence on her property and shared details about the owners' intentions to evict Luke and take down the fence. Tori raised concerns regarding the ecosystem at Thornton State Park, which is deteriorating in part due to the lack of enforcement of leash laws. Additionally, Tori pointed out that the dog- walking industry is treating the park as an unregulated commercial dog park, ignoring the two-dog-per-person limit that is in place.
Stephanie Bernstein thanked everyone from the City who is working on the issue at Thornton Park, highlighting the park’s importance for its users. Stephanie echoed a comment about dog walkers who utilize the park for their business.
Emma Mapa raised concerns and requested the Council’s assistance regarding vehicles being involved in hit-and-run accidents on Dorchester Drive, attributed to the absence of traffic lights and cameras.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item #
Meeting Date: February 9, 2026
Subject: Accept Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report Recommended Action
Acceptance by motion of the fiscal year 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
Background
The financial records of the City of Daly City are subject to an annual independent audit, which is performed by Maze & Associates. The audit is performed in conformance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States and includes a comprehensive review of the financial records and the internal control procedures in place which safeguard the City’s assets.
Discussion
The Independent Auditor’s Report contained in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) indicates that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2025. This opinion is considered “clean” or “unmodified”, which means that the financial records reflect appropriately the financial activity of fiscal year 2025.
The ACFR contains the financial activity of all of the City’s funds and account groups. It is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the City as measured by the financial activity of various funds. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain maximum understanding of the City's financial activities are included.
Each year the ACFR is submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association award program for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. Daly City received the award for the prior fiscal year 2024 and staff anticipates that the City will be successful in attaining the award for fiscal year 2025.
Summary/Conclusion
Staff recommends acceptance of the fiscal year 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.

DALY CITY, CALIFORNIA 94015-1895
December 16, 2025
Honorable Mayor
Members of the City Council
Citizens of Daly City
We are pleased to present the Annual Comprehensiv
e Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Daly
City for the Fiscal Year (FY) ended June 30, 2025. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatements and presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The City has contracted with Maze and Associates, independent Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), to perform the audit of these financial statements. The auditors have issued an “unmodified” opinion on the City of Daly City’s financial statements. This is the most favorable conclusion and is commonly known as an “unmodified” or “clean” opinion. The auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
This letter of transmittal is designed to comple ment the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
Management assumes full responsibility for the co mpleteness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based on a comprehensive framework of internal controls that are established for this purpose. Since the cost of internal controls should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
The independent audit is part of a broader federally mandated Single Audit, designed to meet the requirements of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audits require the independent auditor to report on the fair presentation of the financial statements as in the normal audit, but also require the independent auditor to report on the City’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements specific to the federal grants. These reports are part of the separately issued Single Audit Report that is provided to the appropriate federal agencies. v
PROFILE OF THE CITY
The City of Daly City is one of the largest cities in San Mateo County with an estimated population of 102,155. Daly City is an urbanized, coastal community located at the northern edge of San Mateo County, comprising approximately 7.66 square miles of substantially developed area. The City is known as the "Gateway to the Peninsula", and its area extends to the Pacific Ocean on the west, and nearly to San Francisco Bay on the East. Daly City abuts San Bruno Mountain, a State and County Park, which features the highest peak in the area’s hilly terrain. It is strategically located and is central to major growth areas of San Francisco and San Mateo counties.
Daly City was incorporated on March 22, 1911, as a General Law City. It is governed by a Council- Manager form of government. There are five council members who serve overlapping terms of four years, and the City Council, in turn, selects one of the council members to serve as Mayor each year.
The City Council appoints the City Manager and the City Attorney. The City Manager is the chief executive officer. It is the City Manager's responsibility to hire department heads for each of the City functions, to propose the annual budget, to coordinate and oversee all activities of the organization, and to implement the laws, policies, and budgets adopted by the City Council.
The City of Daly City is a full-service city providing a complete range of municipal services. These services include police, fire, library, recreation, street construction and maintenance, traffic signalization and control, engineering, code enforcement, parks operations and maintenance, general administration, planning, and community development. The City also operates a water utility and a sanitary sewer district. Operating and capital costs for these services are maintained in enterprise funds and are funded by user rates or debt proceeds.
The ACFR includes all funds and accounts of the City of Daly City and its blended component units.
The financial statements include the financial activities of the City, the North San Mateo County Sanitation District, the Daly City Public Facilities Financing Corporation, the Daly City Housing Development Finance Agency, and the Daly City Joint Powers Financing Authority. The financial operations of the City and the other entities included in this financial report are closely related. City Council members serve as the governing board of the District, Corporation, Agency, and Authority.
The City Manager also serves as the General Manager of the Sanitation District, which is included in the proprietary fund types as an enterprise fund.
The budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. Using the Guiding Principles and Priorities established by the City Council, departments submit budget proposals to the City Manager for review. The City Manager’s Proposed Budget is presented to the City Council during public budget meetings. Changes as directed by the City Council are made and the budget is submitted for final adoption before July 1, the beginning of the next budget cycle. Departments are responsible for managing within the City Council appropriated budget. Budget amendments are often necessary due to changes in economic conditions and other circumstances occurring during the fiscal year.

FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION
Economic Indicators
According to the Federal Open Market Committee, United States GDP in 2025 is expected to grow
1.6% while the GDP increased in 2024 by 2.8%, compared to 6.3% in 2023 and 9.2% in 2022.
Although the increased growth rate is an improvement over the negative growth rates resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the lower growth rates still reflect a possible future recession. Also due to the pandemic, California unemployment hit a record high of 16.4% in May 2020 and then reached a new low of 3.4% in May of 2022 as the State recovered. However, the return to low unemployment may not last as the Federal Reserve increases interest rates in response to rising inflation. As of August 2025, the unemployment rate has risen to 5.5%. The greatest risks to the forecast of the U.S. economy stem from concerns over inflation, rising interest rates, and supply concerns for both labor and housing. The current tightening of monetary policies affecting financial and credit conditions will also weigh on economic activity, hiring, and inflation.
In California, especially in the San Francisco Ba y Area, housing prices continue to be expensive and unaffordable, particularly for first time homebuyers, given the limited availability even with a downshift in the market. The U.S. Home Price Growth, on a year-over–year basis as measured by the Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index, experienced a 1.8% increase in July 2025, compared with a 5.9% increase in July 2024. The housing market continues to be equally challenging for California renters, many of whom need to spend more than half of their income on rent. Housing market research suggests that continued limited supply compared to demand is one of the major causes of high housing costs in the coastal California region.
Local Economy and Fiscal Challenges
General Fund revenues for FY 2025 increas ed by $5.4 million to $130.1 million. The revenue increase is made up of some revenue increases and some decreases among the various General Fund sources. The City experienced revenue incr eases in property tax and sales tax revenues of about $2 million dollars; an increase in charges and fees, and, through the recognition of $2.7 million in one-time American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. General Fund expenditures increased by $3.6 million to $121.1 million in FY 2025, the majority of which was due to salary and benefit increases resulting from cost-of-livi ng raises. Although the City budgeted at a deficit for FY 2025, the General Fund saw a minor surplus because of savings from a large number of vacant staff positions and the one time APRA funding.
vii
Enterprise Funds
Two of the City’s major enterprise funds, the Water Utility Fund and Sanitation District Fund, derive revenue from water usage.
Revenues for the Water Utility Fund increased by $2 million to $31.8 million in FY 2025 mainly due to an annual water rate increase of 9.5% and investment returns. Expenses increased $1.3 million to $22.2 million in FY 2025 reflecting an increase in the cost-of-living salary increases for employees in the Water Utility Fund and an increase in capital project spending.
The Sanitation District Fund revenues increased minimally by $0.9 million to $26.7 million in FY 2025. Expenses increased by $0.9 million to $34.8 million in FY 2025 also reflecting an increase in cost-of-living salary increases for employees in the Sewer Enterprise Fund and an increase in capital project spending.
LONG RANGE FINANCIAL PLANNING
The City employs a ten-year financial forecasting model to ensure accountability of service levels and to plan for future challenges. Long-range financial planning enables the City to foresee potential budget issues, giving the City sufficient time to respond to and analyze the long-term financial impact, as well as to take appropriate action before a problem develops. In addition, the long-range financial planning serves as a key planning tool for future budgets and decision- making.
Many of the fiscal drivers within the ten-year forecast are outside the City’s control. This includes changes in the national and local economy; federal and state legislation; and CalPERS actuarial assumptions, investment returns, and the resulting impact on employer contribution rates. Due to the passage of Propositions 13, 218, and 26 in California, the City has no ability to institute taxes and assessments without voter approval. For a ballot measure to be successful, there must be broad community support.
Given the current and forecasted budget challenges, the City has implemented a multi-pronged approach to address long-term fiscal challenges and to ensure the sustainability of the City’s finances into the future.
1. Evaluate General Fund and other reserves . The City’s Financial Policy is to maintain a Minimum General Fund unassigned fund balance equal to 17% or two months of annual budgeted expenditures. It is recommended that the City maintain a Preferred General Fund unassigned fund balance equal to 25% or 3 months of annual budgeted expenditures. Accomplishing the reserve target of 25% requires closely monitoring the balance between revenues and expenses on an ongoing basis. The General Fund reserve provides a buffer to the City in the event of unexpected reductions in revenues or increases in costs. If the City draws down the General Fund reserve, year-end budget surpluses will be used to replenish the reserve. viii
2. Identify other potential sources of revenues. Over the next ten years, General Fund expenses will continue to increase beyond the City’s ability to fund with current revenue sources. The City was successful with ballot measures on a cannabis business license tax and increases for transient occupancy tax and business license tax in the November 2018 General Election. In addition, the Daly City voters approved Measure Q – the Daly City Local Recovery and Relief Measure – in November 2020, which added a transaction and use tax of one-half cent to the total sales tax rate as of April 2021. The City will continue to identify other potential sources of new revenue and evaluate City fees to ensure cost recovery for services provided.
3. Promote economic development and business expansion. The City has identified several economic development opportunities which will improve economic activity in the City. These include economic development opportunities related to the disposition of former Redevelopment sites, implementation of commercial cannabis bus iness licensing, and the provision of financial assistance to local small and minority-owned businesses. The City has expanded efforts to engage with the small business community by creating the Small Business Commission to celebrate and honor local businesses through the Legacy Business Award program. A contract with the Daly City Colma Chamber of Commerce was also re-est ablished this past year. The City has also established the Economic Development division under the Office of the City Manager with two dedicated positions beginning in FY 2026. The City will continue to identify new opportunities for expanding and diversifying its economic base to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability.
4. Pre-fund Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). In April 2017, the City Council authorized participation in the Section 115 Trust Program which allowed the City to set aside funds towards OPEB costs and help reduce the unfunded liability. The City continued to contribute to this Program in FY 2025.
In May 2017, the City Council also authorized participation in a Section 115 Trust to pre-fund pension costs and prepare for pension increases due to changes in CalPERS actuarial assumptions and discount rates. The Section 115 Trust Program will provide the City with an alternative to sending funds to CalPERS that will allow for greater control of the assets held in the trust and risk tolerance level for the investment. Another poten tial benefit includes pension rate stabilization.
Assets in the Trust Program can be transferred to CalPERS at the City’s discretion, which could reduce large fluctuations in employer contributions to CalPERS.
5. Complete comprehensive asset condition assessment and capital improvement plan. Within the last ten years, the Public Works Department completed several long-term planning documents.
The City completed the Facilities Condition Assessment, the ADA Self Evaluation and Transition Plan, the Parks and Open Space Master Plan, the Vision Zero Action Plan, the update to the City’s Pavement Management System Report, and the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. The Storm Drain Master Plan is currently underway and anticipated to be completed in 2026. The Seismic Evaluation of Critical Facilities and Public Works Corporation Yard Master Plan and Use Study still needs to be budgeted for.
ix
The needs identified by the above master planning documents significantly exceed resources currently available. Public Works has and will continue to pursue grant funding to support essential improvements. Public Works will colla borate with other departments to develop and identify long term budget plans to improve and maintain the City’s infrastructure.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
During FY 2025, under the leadership of the City Council, several outstanding key programs and projects were successfully undertaken by the City.
Economic and Community Development
The Economic and Community Development Department has continued to provide its regular services while implementing a variety of new programs and policies. The Building Division has been working with the assistance of consulting company Plante Moran to improve the overall permitting and inspection process by making more se rvices available online and exploring other opportunities to streamline the review process.
The Planning Division continued its work on the preparation of the Housing Element, which is a plan to build over 4,800 housing units to meet the region’s housing needs with the Housing Element being adopted in November 2024. Included in the adoption were several zoning changes to increase residential density and streamline development.
The Housing Division continued to administer the federal funding that was provided to help households that were affected by COVID-19 through rental assistance, food distribution, and mental health services as well as implement the CDBG program. The Housing Division has also confirmed funding, secured a site, and initiated project design of a low-income daycare facility on City property. The Housing Division also continued to refine its contract with Habitat for Humanity to administer the Residential Rehabilitation Program.
Code Enforcement was able to complete the enforcement cycle on high profile cases with assistance of the City Attorney’s office, improving neighborhood quality.
The Daly City Public Library
In fiscal year 2025, Daly City’s four libraries welcomed 213,198 visits and checked out 418,875 items, including 83,136 eBooks and other electronic items. Early literacy story times, activities, workshops, and events continue to draw people to the libraries. The Daly City Public Library provided 433 programs during the year with a total attendance of 15,305, a decrease from the prior year attributable to construction at our Serramonte Main Library which necessitated the temporary closure of the Community Room. ADA and energy efficiency facility upgrades began at the main library in January. Built in 1975, the main library will soon feature an elevator for accessing the Community Room and lower-level staff areas and new, more efficient HVAC and lighting. x
North County Fire Authority
The North County Fire Authority (NCFA) achieved an average response time of 5 minutes and 27 seconds for on scene arrival of a first due fire company at all emergency incidents. NCFA achieved an overall “Customer Satisfaction” rating of 98% in the delivery of emergency and non-emergency services. NCFA mitigated all fire incidents effectively and efficiently minimizing loss of life and property damage. NCFA provided high quality Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support assessment and treatment interventions to emergency medical incidents utilizing our paramedic fire engines and truck companies, in which over half of total EMS calls benefited and served senior citizens. NCFA conducted monthly online virtual interactive meetings allowing the public the view presented fire safety, emergency planning and preparedness information as well to ask questions and get answers.
Fire Prevention Services completed timely and professional pre-fire engineering and plan check reviews and inspections for new construction projects, tenant improvements, alarm installations, and suppression systems. The division also completed a fire “cause and origin” analysis and investigation for all fire incidents. Further, NCFA completed annual mandated and required fire and life safety code compliance inspections covering all business, multi-family and permitted occupancies. NCFA presented throughout the y ear Emergency Preparedness, Individual and Family Preparedness seminars, as well as Co mmunity Emergency Response Team (CERT) classes. Additionally, “Hands Only CPR”, “Stop the Bleed and Choking” was presented to the public through numerous events and venues. NCFA provided fire engine companies and chief officers to multiple major wildfire incidents throughout the State of California.
Police Department
The Daly City Police Department remains co mmitted to service-based policing, emphasizing community engagement, technology integration, and adaptive policing strategies. The Department participates in local and regional task forces addressing quality-of-life issues and emerging crime trends. The Department also continues to strengthen partnerships with local and regional law enforcement agencies, community organizations, as well as other entities designed to provide invaluable services to our community.
As part of the Department’s ongoing commitment to combat organized retail theft (ORT), the Dal y
City Police Department continues to implement strategies supported by the California State ORT grant. This funding established a joint task force with two partner agencies, enabling shared resources and improving collaborative enforcement efforts. Looking ahead, the Department plans to further expand its use of technology through the expansion of a Real Time Information Center (RTIC). The RTIC serves as a hub for real-time data analysis, intelligence sharing, and coordinated response efforts.
xi
The Department was awarded a California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant, which supports local enforcement and prevention efforts aimed at reducing illegal retail sale of tobacco products to minors. This funding enables the Department to conduct retail enforcement operations to ensure adherence to state tobacco laws and protect our youth. This effort further aims to build community trust through collaboration. We value transparency, equipping officers with body and vehicle cameras, and ensure applicable policy adaptation. The Police Department strives to remain compliant with all reporting and legislative requirements.
The Department prioritizes community engagement through our Community Division, allowing us to enhance our social media presence, and further expand our participation in local events. This year, the Department hired five Community Service Officers (CSOs) to strengthen our civilian non-emergency response and outreach efforts. Alongside our Mental Health Clinician and Police Assistants, these positions support a compassionate and well-rounded approach to public safety and service delivery.
Technology continues to enhance operational e fficiency. The Department utilizes automated license plate readers (ALPRs), pursuit intervention solutions, and data integration software to streamline investigations. Deployment of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) has improved officer and community safety, and the Department is actively enhancing our Drone as First Responder (DFR) program to further enhance efficiency and emergency response capabilities. Through these combined initiatives, expanding strategic partnerships, strengthening community trust, and investing in technology, the Daly City Police Department continues to demonstrate its commitment to public safety, innovation, and exceptional services to the community.
Public Works Department
The Public Works Department completed several capital improvement projects and continued to provide routine services to the public such as street sweeping, traffic signal and street light maintenance, equipment and vehicle maintenance, facility maintenance, park maintenance and litter and debris removal. The Department continues to focus on preventative measures to maintain and maximize the useful lifespan of City owned assets such as City vehicles, equipment, facilities, and infrastructure.
Some completed projects by the Public Works Department include Southgate Avenue and School Street Safety Improvements Project, Mussel Ro ck Landfill Upper Disposal Area Pull-Back Project, City Hall Elevator Modernization and ADA Barrier Removal Project, Lawson Hall Roof Project and Parks/Fleet Maintenance Facility Roof Project. xii
Construction also began on the Northern Cities Smart Corridor Expansion Project, Skyline Slurry Seal & Westmoor Avenue and Westridge Avenue Intersections Quick Build Project, San Diego, Santa Cruz and Guadalupe Water Main Replacement Project & St. Francis Water Main Replacement Project, Daly City Doelger Art Center Roofing and HVAC Replacement Project, Serramonte Library – Elevator, Energy Efficiency, ADA Upgrades, HVAC Replacement Project, RO 572 Streetlight Conversion Project, Santa Barbara Avenue & Vista Grande Avenue Green Stormwater Infrastructure and Pedestrian Improvement Project, Fire Station 95 Diesel Fuel Tank Replacement Project and Mussel Rock Stability Project.
The Public Works Department also continues to seek grant funds for the City and was successful in securing additional funds for the Hillside Boulevard Complete Street Corridor Project, John Daly Boulevard Pedestrian and Bicycle Facility Improvements Project, Daly City Micromobility Pilot Project and Daly City Bayshore Shuttle.
Department of Water and Wastewater Resources
The Department of Water and Wastewater Resources (DWWR) continued to meet all public health and regulatory requirements associated with the production, treatment, and distribution of high- quality drinking water, along with the collection, treatment, re-use, and disposal of wastewater on behalf of the citizens of Daly City and the North San Mateo County Sanitation District. The Department continued to manage the critically important regional drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater project, the Vista Grande Drainage Basin Improvement Project (Project). DWWR is working diligently with project partners, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the County of San Mateo, Caltrans, the Olympic Club, and many others. The Project went out to bid at the end of 2025, and construction will commence in 2026.
Drinking water projects continued to be of the highest priority along with groundwater pumping projects and water main improvements at St. Francis, San Diego, Santa Cruz, and Guadalupe Streets. At Reservoir 6B a new seismic roof was installed, and the interior of Reservoir 8 was restored to protect the drinking water of our residents. Additionally, significant capital improvements were made at the North San Mateo County Sanitation District Wastewater Treatment Plant and Collection Facilities such as sewer lift station rehabilitation, improvements to the treatment plant air scrubbers, upgrades to the treatment plant aeration mixer, SCADA system upgrades, and roof replacement of the Operations building. Staff is in the process of updating the Collection System and Wastewater Treatment Plant Master Plans which will produce a long-term Capital Program for both systems. With the continuation of the Utility Rate Assistance Program, 184 resident households now utilize it to receive financial assistance in managing their utility bills. xiii
Recreation Services
The Department of Recreation Services housed 490 rental opportunities for the Daly City community and beyond to host personal gatherings and events. The Youth Recreation Program and Youth Athletics Program, including Afterschool and Summer activities, served 5,296 participants across six school locations and two recreation facilities. Athletic leagues and programs, such as Youth Basketball, Mini Hoops, Youth Baseball, and Clinics, engaged over 1,632 participants in safe, meaningful activities. Through the Senior Lunch Program, over 55,239 congregate meals were served across four locati ons, and 271 senior participants were able to partake in the Senior Food Pantry.
The Department also hosted a variety of city-wide cultural and family-oriented events, including the Black History Celebration, Crab Feed, Recreation Resource Day, Spring Fun Day, Health and Wellness Fair, Children’s Day, Hip Hop Day, Latino Heritage Month – Pachanga!, Kasayahan sa Daly City, Trunk or Treat, Autumn Fest, and Frosty Snow Fest, collectively reaching over 12,530 youth and families.
Additionally, recreation programs, activities, and cla sses in exercise, education, and cultural arts served more than 15,191 participants. Community engagement was bolstered by 354 volunteers and volunteens, who collectively contributed over 42,157 service hours to support these efforts.
Finance and Administrative Services
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Daly City for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This was the 38
th consecutive year that the City of Daly City has received this prestigious award.
To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual comprehensive financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the
City Council of the City of Daly City, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the g overnmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Daly City (City), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the Table of Contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund informatio n of the City as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparisons lis ted in the Table of Contents as part of the basic financial statements for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditi ng standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards appli cable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in th e Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We ar e required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirement relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, manageme nt is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. 1
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but
is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulti ng from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards
, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.
Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by manage ment, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. 2
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other Required Supplementary Information as listed in the Table of Contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on th e financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financia l statements.
The accompanying Supplementary
Information, as listed in the Table of Contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial stat ements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates di rectly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of Am erica. In our opinion, the Supplementary Information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other informa tion included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory Section and Statistical Section listed in the Table of Contents, but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inco nsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. 3
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with
Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 16, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Part of this is $2 million in additional revenues from property taxes and sales taxes, showing a return to more normal growth rates for these revenues. In addition, there was an increase in the utility users tax due to increasing energy costs in FY 2025, and increase investment income of $1 million.
Business-type activities general revenues were $7 million in FY 2025, a decrease of $1.5 million over the prior year primarily due to lower investment income received based on the interest distribution percentages.
• Unrestricted net position of governmental funds changed from negative ($58.6) million in FY 2024 to negative ($58.9) million in FY 2025, primarily due to an increase in total assets of $22.7 million, made up of increases in cash and investments and capital assets. 5
OVERVIEW OF THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT
This Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is in three sections:
1) Introductory Section containing the Transmittal Letter and miscellaneous other information
2) Financial Section containing the Independent Auditor’s Report, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Basic Financial Statements, which include the Government- wide and the Fund Financial Statements, along with the Notes to these financial statements, Required Supplementary Information, and Combining Statements for Non-major Governmental Funds and Fiduciary Funds
3) Statistical Section containing financial trend data and general statistical information about the City
The Basic Financial Statements
The Basic Financial Statements are comprised of the City-wide Financial Statements and the Fund Financial Statements, including the Notes thereto. These two sets of financial statements provide two different views of the City’s financial activities and financial position.
The Government-wide Financial Statements provide a longer-term view of the City’s activities as a whole and are comprised of the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. The Statement of Net Position provides information about the financial position of the City as a whole, including all its capital assets and long-term liabilities on the full accrual basis, like that used by private corporations. The Statement of Activities provides information about all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, also on the full accrual basis, with the emphasis on measuring net revenues or expenses of each of the City’s programs. The Statement of Activities explains in detail the change in net position for the year.
All the City’s activities are grouped into governmental activities and business-type activities, as explained below. All the amounts in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are separated into governmental activities and business-type activities to provide a summary of these two types of activities of the City as a whole.
The Fund Financial Statements report the City’s operations in more detail than the government- wide statements and focus primarily on the short-term activities of the City’s General Fund and other major funds. The Fund Financial Statements measure only current revenues and expenditures and fund balances; they exclude capital assets, long-term debt, and other long-term amounts.
Major funds account for the major financial activities of the City and are presented individually, while the activities of non-major funds are presented in summary, with subordinate schedules presenting the detail for each of these other funds.
The fiduciary statements provide financial information about the assets for which the City acts solely as custodian in its capacity as a fiscal agent.
6
The Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities present information about the following:
• Governmental activities - All the City’s basic services are governmental activities, including general government, public safety, public works, streets and infrastructure, culture and recreation, and economic and community development. These services are supported by general City revenues such as taxes, and by specific program revenues. • Business-type activities - All the City’s enterprise activities are reported here, including water, sewer, and solid waste transport. Unlike governmental services, these services are supported by charges paid by users based on the amount of the service they use.
Government-wide financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis, which means they measure the flow of all economic resources of the City as a whole.
Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds, called major funds. Each major fund is presented individually, with all non- major funds summarized and presented only in a single column. Subordinate schedules present the detail of these non-major funds. Major funds present the major activities of the City for the year and may change from year to year because of changes in the pattern of the City’s activities.
Governmental fund financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis, which means they measure only current financial resources and uses. Capital assets and other long-lived assets, along with long-term liabilities, are not presented in the governmental fund financial statements.
Enterprise fund financial statements are prepared on the full accrual basis, and include all their assets and liabilities, both current and long-term.
Since the City’s internal service funds provide goods and services only to the City’s governmental and business-type activities, their activities are repor ted only in total at the fund level. Internal service funds cannot be major funds because their revenues are derived from other City funds.
These revenues are eliminated in the City-wide financial statements and any related profits or losses are returned to the activities which created them, along with any residual net position of the internal service funds.
Comparisons of budget and actual financial information are presented only for the General Fund and other major funds that are special revenue funds.
Fiduciary Statements – The City is the fiscal agent for a few small local agencies. Fiduciary activities are reported in the separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Position. These activities are excluded from the City’s other financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its own operations.

FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE
This analysis focuses on the net position and changes in net position of the City’s governmental activities and business-type activities (Tables 1, 2, and 3) presented in the City-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities that follow.
Table 1
Net Position at June 30
(in thousands)
Governmental Activities
The City’s net position from governmental activities increased from $88.4 million in FY 2024 to $99.4 million in FY 2025. The increase in the Net Position reflected in the Statement of Activities, is also shown in Table 1. Increases and decreases of individual assets and liabilities include:
• Governmental cash and investments increased $14.9 million from $195.9 million in FY 2024 to $210.8 million in FY 2025. The City’s net position in cash and investments increased partly because of a steady increas e in governmental revenues including property taxes ($1.7 million), sales taxes ($343 thousand), and charges for fees ($2.1 million) which increased due an increase use of City services. The other portion of that increase is due to the change in investment earnings, which went from $9.5 million in FY 2024 to $10.4 million in FY 2025, as the financial markets rebounded to positive returns.
8
• Also on the asset side, capital assets increased in FY 2025 to $113.3 million from $107.5 million in FY 2024. This is mostly due to the implementation of GASB 96 in FY 2023.
Within the City’s governmental activities, the City estimates the value of the subscription- based information technology arrangement assets to be $5 million.
• In FY 2025, liabilities also increased by $3.7 million. This is due to an increase in the City’s net pension and OPEB liabilities, which went from $242.5 million in FY 2024, to $246.2 million in FY 2025.
• The restricted net position increased $5.5 million, and the unrestricted net position decreased slightly from negative ($58.6) million in FY 2024 to negative ($58.9) million in FY 2025. The City’s unrestricted net position was negatively impacted in fiscal year 2015 with the implementation of GASB 68, which continues to require the disclosure of the City’s unfunded pension liability. The unrestricted net position improved in FY 2025 because of the increase in cash and investments ($14.9 million) and the increase in capital assets ($5.8 million).
Business-type Activities
The net position of business-type activities in creased $4.8 million to a total of $134.5 million in FY 2025 from $129.7 million in FY 2024. Increases and decreases of individual assets and liabilities are as follows:
• Cash and investments increased by $2.1 million in FY 2025 due to the Water Utility revenues 9.5% water rate increase and the Sanitation District revenues increased due to a 9% increase is sanitary sewer rates.
• Liabilities increased in FY 2025 by $0.7 million from $24.2 million in FY 2024 to $24.9 million in FY 2025. Similar to governmental activities, the increase is mainly due to a $0.7 million increase in net pension and OPEB liabilities.
• Overall, the unrestricted net position improved $0.7 million ending at $62.2 million in FY 2025. The unrestricted net position increased in FY 2025 because of the increases in cash and investments resulting mostly from the rate increases approved for the year by both the Water Utility and the Sanitation District.
9
Changes in Net Position
Total governmental activities revenue in FY 2025 amounted to $158.3 million compared to $150.2 million in FY 2024, an increase of $8.1 million in FY 2025 due to a variety of factors. This includes increases in both property taxes and sales taxes as the City’s main revenue sources returned to more normal growth rates. The increase also includes an increase in the utility users tax, based on the increase in energy costs in FY 2025, and $2.7 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding that the City recognized during the fiscal year. Governmental expenses increased by $7.3 million in FY 2025 mostly due to newly negotiated cost of living raises for employees.
Total business-type activities revenues increased $1.9 million in FY 2025 due to an increase in water utility rate revenues and sanitary sewer ra te revenues. The expenses increased $3.1 million due to an increase in the net pension and OPEB liability for FY 2025 and negotiated cost of living raises for employees.

THE CITY’S FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Governmental Funds
At June 30, 2025, the City’s major governmental funds consisted of the General Fund, Gas Tax Fund, Grants Fund, Measures A and W Fund, and Capital Projects Fund. The focus of the governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financial status.
The General Fund’s total fund balance increased $11 million to $99.4 million in FY 2025 compared to $88.4 million in FY 2024.
General Fund revenues for FY 2025 increased by $5.4 million to $130.1 million from $124.7 million in FY 2024 due to several factors. To begin, the City recognized $2.7 million in one-time American Rescue Plan Act funds during FY 2025 and saw an increase in its net investment income.
Additionally, property tax revenues increased by about 3%, with property taxes going from $52.1 million in FY 2024 to $53.8 million in FY 2025. Sales tax revenues increased slightly from $26.5 million in FY 2024 to $26.8 million in FY 2025. Meanwhile, charges for services increased almost 17% going from $7.7 million in FY 2024 to $9 million in FY 2025 due to return of fire inspections and recreation programs after the pandemic along with an increase in the fees. At the same time, decreases in some General Fund revenues offset the bigger increases. General Fund expenditures increased by $3.6 million to $121.1 million in FY 2025 reflecting additional increases in salaries and benefits in accordance with adopted memoranda of understanding. Although the General Fund showed an increase in expenditures, the expenditures were $2 million lower than the budget of $123.1 million. This is primarily due to salary savings within the Police Department and other General Fund departments where the City has seen a high number of vacant positions.
In FY 2025, the Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund to tal fund balance increased slightly to $8.9 million as revenues closely matched expenses. The ba lance in this fund represents funds that are legally required to be spent on local roadway pr ojects. All such amounts are budgeted for future expenditures as laid out in the multi-year capital improvement plan. The fund balance in the Measures A and W Fund did increase from $12.7 million in FY 2024 to $16.9 million in FY 2025 as both funds revenues also closely matched expenses.
The Capital Projects Fund total fund balance increased $9.5 million in FY 2025 to $46.3 million compared to $36.8 million in FY 2024. This fund is designated for specific capital projects that will benefit the community. Capital Projects Fund revenues increased $0.9 million in FY 2025 to $5.8 million due to an increase in net investment income. A transfer of $10.7 million to the Capital Projects Fund was done from the General Fund utilizing one-time surpluses to help fund future capital projects. Capital Projects Fund expenditures also increased in FY 2025 to $7 million due to an increase in project spending.
12
Enterprise Funds
The City has three major enterprise funds: the Water Utility Fund, the Sanitation District Fund and the Civic Center Fund.
Water Utility operating revenues in FY 2025 increased $2 million to $31.8 million compared to $29.8 million in FY 2024 due to an increase in revenues related to the 9.5% water rate increase.
Operating expenses increased $1.3 million in FY 2025 to $22.2 million because of increases in salaries and benefits in accordance with adopted memoranda of understanding.
Sanitation District operating revenues increased $0.9 million to $26.7 million in FY 2025 because sanitary sewer rates increased by 9% although the increase was offset by reduced water usage.
Operating expenses increased by $1 million to $34.8 million in FY 2025 because of increases in salaries and benefits in accordance with adopted memoranda of understanding.
The Civic Center Fund became a major fund in FY 2022 due to the implementation of GASB 87 and the addition of leases receivables for building leases within the Fund. The Civic Center Fund remained a major fund in FY 2025 with an endi ng net position of $5.6 million, a small increase from its $5.5 million net position in FY 2024.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The City typically uses a biennial budgeting process. Two individual budget years are proposed to the City Council at the same time, with mid-budget adjustments at the end of the first of the two years. This process provides more opportunity for long-term planning but does require adjustments based on changing economic conditions. However, due to continuing economic uncertainties, the City again completed a one-year budget process for FY 2025. Revenues were better than the budget in FY 2025 as some, like property tax, rents and interest, and utility user fees tax, came in higher than expected. Expenditures were below final budgeted amounts by $2 million, mostly because of staffing vacancies in the Police Department and other General Fund funded departments.

ECONOMIC FACTORS
During FY 2025, the City continued to see growth in its main revenue sources, property taxes and sales taxes. Although some had predicted a recession might come in FY 2025 given the rising inflation and the increases in interest rates by the Federal Open Market Committee, the City did not experience any recessionary impacts. In fact, revenues seemed to return to more traditional growth rates as experienced by the City before the pandemic.
At the same time, though, expenditures continued to rise for the City as inflation and other supply and demand factors affected the cost of labor as well as services and supplies. The City had budgeted at a deficit for FY 2025, but ended the year almost breaking even since revenues were better than budgeted and expenses were significantly down due to staff vacancies. The City also continued to use its final portion of the American Rescue Plan Act funds to help partially offset the budgeted deficit in FY 2025.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is intended to provide citizens, taxpayers, investors, and creditors with a general overview of the City’s finances. Questions about this Report should be directed to the Department of Finance and Administrative Services, 333 90 th Street, Daly City

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities summarize the entire City’s financial activities and financial position.
They are prepared on the same basis as is used by most
businesses, which means they include all the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources and all its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, as well as all its revenues and expenses. This is known as the full accrual basis—the effect of all the City’s transactions is taken into account, regardless of whether or when cash changes hands, but all material internal transactions between City funds have been eliminated.
The Statement of Net Position reports the difference between the City’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources and the City’s total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, including all the City’s capital assets and all its long-term debt. The Statement of Net Position focuses the reader on the composition of the City’s Net Position, by subtracting total liabilities from total assets.
The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of all of the City’s Governmental Activities in a single column. The City’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decr eases in the City’s Net Position. It is also prepared on the full accrual basis, which mean s it includes all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, regardless of when cash changes hands. This differs from the “modified accrual” basis used in the Fund financial statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues and measurable expenditures.
The Statement of Activities presents the City’s expenses first, listed by program. Program revenues—that is, revenues which are generated directly by these programs—are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each governmental program. The City’s general revenues are then listed in the Governmental Activities and the Change in Net Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position. 17

CITY OF DALY CITY
Reconciliation of the
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
with the
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The schedule below reconciles the Net Changes in Fund Balances reported on the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance, which measures only changes in current assets and current liabilities on the modified accrual basis, with the Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities reported in the Statement of Activities, which is prepared on the full accrual basis.
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS $14,144,553 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because of the following:
CAPITAL ASSETS TRANSACTIONS
Governmental Funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is capitalized and allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
The capital outlay expenditures (less prepaid asset of $40,533) are therefore added back to fund balance. 10,922,020
Depreciation expense is deducted from fund balance
(Depreciation expense is net of internal service fund depreciation of $1,928,963 which has already been allocated to serviced funds). (5,548,224) Retirements of capital assets are deducted from fund balance (186,493)
LONG TERM DEBT PROCEEDS AND PAYMENTS
Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position.
Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but in the Statement of Net Position the repayment reduces long-term liabilities.
Repayment of lease principal is added back to fund balance 34,463 Repayment of subscription liability principal is added back to fund balance 594,429 Proceeds from new subscription liabilities are deducted from fund balance (1,720,074)
ACCRUAL OF NONCURRENT ITEMS
The amounts below included in the Statement of Activities do not provide or (require) the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as revenue or expenditures in governmental funds:
Unavailable revenue (117,646)
Compensated absences 118,905
OPEB expense 2,111,990
Pension expense (14,319,786)
ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ACTIVITY
Internal service funds are used to charge the costs of certain activities, such as equipment acquisition, maintenance, and insurance to individual funds.
The portion of the net revenue (expense) of these internal service funds arising out of their transactions with governmental funds is reported with governmental activities, because they service those activities.

CITY OF DALY CITY
ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025
NOTE 1.
REPORTING ENTITY
The City of Daly City (City) was incorporated on March 22, 1911 and operates under a council-manager form of government. Daly City is a general law city, and provides the following services: public safety (police and fire), highways and streets, water, sanitary sewer, social services, library, recreation, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative services.
The City's Basic Financial Statements include th e financial activities of the City, the North San Mateo County Sanitation District, the Daly City Public Facilities Financing Corporation and the Daly City Housing Development Finance Agenc y. These entities are controlled by governing boards consisting of the City Council and are reported as blended component units. Council members are financially accountable for these entities’ operations and approve fees, debt issues and adopt budgets. Blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the government’s operations, thus, data from these units are combined with that of the primary government.
The North San Mateo County Sanitation District became a subsidiary district of the City on July 1, 1985. The activities of the District are reported in the Sanitation District Enterprise Fund. The District does not issue separate financial statements.
The activities of the Daly City Public Faci lities Financing Corporation (Corporation) are included in the basic financial statements of the Water Utility Enterprise Fund in proportion to the activities carried out on its behalf because the City Council sits as the Board of this entity.
The City established the Corporation to facilitate the issuance of long-term debt. The Corporation is facilitating the issuance of Stat e Water Resources Control Board loans for the purpose of financing the Vista Grande Drainage Basin Improvement Project. The Corporation acts as a conduit for the leasing of the associated facilities of the utility in order to allow the issuance of its long-term debt (See Note 5). Th e Corporation does not issue separate financial statements.
39
The activities of the Daly City Housing Development Finance Agency (Finance Agency) are included in the Affordable Housing and the Low and Moderate Income Housing Assets Special Revenue Funds. The City established the Finance Agency in 1985 pursuant to California Health and Safety Code (HSC) Division 24, Part 2, Chapte r 1, to address the housing needs of the City and the Finance Agency serves as the Housing Successor to the former Daly City Redevelopment Agency. The primary activity of the Finance Agency is to develop nonsubsidized multifamily rental housing development financing pursuant to Section 34312.3 of the HSC that is owned, operated and managed by
private and other agencies, not the Finance
Agency. The Finance Agency is administered by a Governing Board whose members are the City Council of the City of Daly City, and the City also performs all accounting and administrative functions for the Finance Agency. The Finance Agency does not issue separate financial statements.
The City and the Sanitation District established the Daly City Joint Powers Financing Authority (Financing Authority) in March 2022 pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (commencing at Government Code Section 6500) to provide assistance with public financings, including, among others, General Fund lease financings and enterprise fund financings. The Financing Authority is administered by a Governing Board whose members are the City Council of the City of Daly City, and the City also performs all accounting and administrative functions for the Financing Authority. The Financing Authority does not issue separate financial statements. The Financing Authority did not have any activity during the year ended June 30, 2025.
NOTE 2.
DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Basic Financial Statements include financial information for entities which are directly or indirectly governed by the City Council. The entities included are the City, the North San Mateo County Sanitation District, the Daly City Public Facilities Financing Corporation and the Daly City Joint Powers Financing Authority (see Note 1).
The accounting policies of the City conform with generally accepted accounting principles as they apply to governments. The following is a summary of the more significant policies.
A. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The City’s Basic Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the U.S.A. These standards require that the financial statements described below be presented.
40
Government-wide Statements: The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the primary government (the City and its blended component units).
These statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type
activities of the City. Governmental activities are generally financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexcha nge transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the City’s governmental activities and for each segment of the business-type activities of the City. Direct expens es are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function.
Program revenues include charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs, grants and contributions that are re stricted to meeting the operational needs of a particular program and fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category— governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary—are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
B. MAJOR FUNDS
Major funds are defined as funds which have either assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of thei r fund-type total and five percent of the grand total of governmental and enterprise funds. Major governmental and business-type funds are identified and presented separately in the fund financial statements. All other funds, called nonmajor funds, are combined and reported in a single column, regardless of their fund type. The General Fund is always a major fund, and the City may select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds. The City selected the Grants Fund and Measures A and W Fund for presentation as major funds because of their importance and because they often qualify as major funds.
41
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
GENERAL FUND is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources traditionally associated with governments which are not required to be accounted for in a separate fund.
GAS TAX SPECIAL REVENUE FUND is used to account for gas tax monies allocated by the State to the City for the streets and roads program.
GRANTS SPECIAL REVENUE FUND is used to account for miscellaneous grant monies, such as HOME, law enforcement special grants, and after school safety grants.
MEASURES A AND W SPECIAL REVENUE FUND is used to account for the City’s portion of the Measure A special half cent sales tax receipts restricted for maintaining local streets and roads improvements and the City’s portion of the Measure W special half cent sales tax receipts restricted for congestion relief and transit improvements.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities or infrastructure other than those financed by proprietary funds.
The City reported the following enterprise funds as major funds in the accompanying financial statements:
WATER UTILITY FUND is used to account for activity related to providing water service to the community.
SANITATION DISTRICT FUND is used to account for activity related to providing residents with sanitary sewer services.
CIVIC CENTER FUND is used to account for rental activity of real property owned by the City in the Civic Center area.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds – These funds account for motor vehicles, central services, telephone, building maintenance, information services, se lf-insurance and pension bond payments. All of these services are provided to other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Funds – The Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources to be used for payments at appropriate amounts and times in the future. Custodial Funds are used to account for assets held by the City for Billing Services and Supporters of Senior Center and monies held for an external investment pool for the San Mateo Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Services Group, none of which are held in trust. In addition, The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the government- wide financial statements because they are not directly or indirectly governed by the City Council.
42
C. PROPERTY HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT
Property held for development is stated at the lower of historical cost or net realizable value (equal to agreed upon sales price if a disposition and development agreement has been reached with a developer).
D. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, including lease liabilities, as well as claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Governmental capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditu res in governmental funds, including entering into contracts giving the City the right to use leased assets and right to use subscription assets.
Proceeds of governmental long-term debt and financing through leases are reported as other financing sources.
In addition to assets, the statement of net position or balance sheet will report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position or 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 assets or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
The City has one item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from loans and deferred amounts related to leases. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
Property taxes and sales taxes are considered m easurable and available when in the hands of intermediary collecting governments and are recognized as revenue at that time. The primary revenue sources which are susceptible to accrual include taxes, rents, licenses, interest, grants and contributions. Fines and penalties and other revenues are recorded as revenues when received in cash because they are generally not measurable until actually received.
The City may fund programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be available to finance program expenditures. The City’s policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.
43
Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and activities. Nonexchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations.
On an accrual basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
E. BUDGETS, BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING AND ENCUMBRANCES
The City uses a biennial budget process whereby two individual annual budgets are adopted by City Council for all funds and component units other than the Custodial Funds. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing economic uncertainties, the City moved to a one-year budget cycle starting in FY2021. The City is monitoring and evaluating the economic climate in hopes of switching back to a biennial budget process. Budgets are subject to public hearing before they are adopted by the City Council. Budgets are prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP basis).
The City is not legally required to prepare budgets for any of its funds, but does so as a matter of managerial policy. Budgets submitted to the City Council include both proposed appropriations and the means of financing them. The City Counc il approves total appropriations on a departmental basis.
The City Manager is authorized and directed to make any changes or transfers of appropriations within any Department of the City and from one
Department to another as deemed necessary or
feasible, as long as the total appropriations of the funds are not exceeded. Additional appropriations not included in the original budget resolutions require approval by the City Council. Budgeted amounts shown are as adopted and amended by the City Council. Individual amendments were not material in relation to the original appropriations. Budgets for the City's proprietary funds are considered as memorandum budgets used for the purpose of management control. These nonappropriated budgets are not included in the Basic Financial Statements.
The City uses an encumbrance system as an extension of normal budgetary accounting. Under this system purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded to reserve that portion of applicable appropriations. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are recorded as an assignment of fund balance since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Outstanding encumbrances at year end are automatically reappropriated the following year. Unencumbered and unexpended appropriations for other than capital outlay lapse at year-end. However, the Capital Projects Fund is not budgeted on a project-length basis.
Only the budget estimated to be spent in the cu rrent fiscal year is appropriated, even if the project will continue into future fiscal years. The City prepares a ten year capital plan, and each project year budget (GAAP Basis) is appropriated separately on an on-going basis. 44
Expenditures in Excess of Appropriations – The General Fund and Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund incurred expenditures in excess as follows during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025:
Expenditures
Exceeded Budget
General Fund
General Government $6,223,784
Public Safety - Fire 2,137,088
Debt service 569,813
Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund
Transfers out 147,044
Sufficient resources were available within the funds to finance these expenditures.
F. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City categorizes its fair value measurements within th e fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
G. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The City’s investments are carried at fair value, as required by generally accepted accounting principles. The City adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year.
The City pools cash from all sources and all funds, except restricted cash and cash and investments with fiscal agents, so the pool of f unds can be invested consistent with goals for safety and liquidity, while maximizing yield. Cash is pooled so individual funds can make expenditures at any time.
45
Investment income is allocated among funds on the basis of average daily cash and investment balances in each fund, unless there are specific legal or contractual requirements to do otherwise.
Cash and investments are classified in the fi nancial statements as shown below, based on whether or not their use is restricted under the terms of City debt instruments or Agency agreements:
Cash and investments $282,905,189
Restricted cash and investments 5,196,496
Cash and investments of the City 288,101,685
Cash and investments in Fiduciary Funds (separate statement):
Private-purpose Trust Fund 249,929
Custodial Funds 2,648,052
Custodial Funds - External investment pool 950,146
Total cash and investments $291,949,812

Public Agencies Post-Employment Trust
On May 22, 2017, the City Council adopted resolution 17-58 approving the adoption of the Public Agencies Post-Employment Trust administered by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS).
The Trust is an irrevocable trust and qualifies as an Internal Revenue Section 115 Trust. This Trust will assist the City in mitigating the CalPERS co ntribution rate volatility. Investments of funds held in Trust are governed by the Investment Guideline Document for the investment account and by the agreement for administrative services with PARS, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code of the City’s invest ment policy. The City elected a discretionary investment approach which allows the City to ma intain oversight of the investment management, control on target yield and the portfolio’ risk of tolerance, under the Moderately Conservative Index PLUS investment option. The assets in the Trust will eventually be used to fund pension plan obligations.
Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
The City must maintain required amounts of cash and investments with trustees or fiscal agents under the terms of certain debt issues. These funds are unexpended bond proceeds or are pledged as reserves to be used if the City fails to meet its obligations under these debt issues. The California Government Code requires these funds to be invested in accordance with City ordinance, bond indentures or State statute.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Normally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s cash and investments (including investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s cash and investments by maturity:

The City is a participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The City reports its investment in LAIF at the fair value amount provided by LAIF, which is the same as the value of the pool share. The balance is available for withdrawal on demand, and is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. Each regular LAIF accoun
t is permitted to have up to 15 transactions per
month, with a minimum transaction amount of $5,000, a maximum transaction amount of $75 million and at least 24 hours advance notice for withdrawals of $10 million or more. Bond proceeds accounts are subject to a one ‐time deposit with no cap and are set up with a monthly draw down schedule. Included in LAIF’s investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, United States Treasury Notes and Bills, and floating rate securities issued by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, and corporations. At June 30, 2025, these investments have an average maturity of 248 days.
The City is a participant in the San Mateo County Investment Pool (SMCIP) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 53600 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the County of San Mateo. The City reports its investment in SMCIP at the fair value amount provided by SMCIP. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by SMCIP, which are recorded on an amortized co st basis. Included in SMCIP’s investment portfolio are U.S. Treasury Notes, obligations issued by agencies of the U.S. Government, LAIF, corporate notes, commercial paper, collatera lized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, and fl oating rate securities issued by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, and corporations. At June 30, 2025, these investments matured in an average of 2.28 years.
Money Market Mutual Fund investments are available for withdrawal on demand.
Fair Value Investments
Generally accepted accounting principles require governments to present investments at fair value. The City adjusts the carrying value of its investment to reflect the fair value at each fiscal year-end, and it includes the effect of this adjustment in income for that fiscal year. 49
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The actual ratings as of June 30, 2025 are provided by Standard and Poor’s except as noted.

Custodial Credit Risk
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (for example, broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party.
The City’s investment policy requires that securities transactions be executed on a delivery vs. payment basis. Funds are not wire-transferred until securities are delivered into safekeeping with the City's third party custodian. The custodial rela tionship is subject to an agreement for services which may be separate from the agreement for other banking services. The safekeeping requirement does not apply to securities which are physically delivered to the City.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy, which has three levels, is based on the valuation inputs used to measure an asset’s fair value. The following provides a summary of the hierarchy used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the City has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets may include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market and that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
50
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, such as interest rates and curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatilities, and credit spreads. For financial reporting purposes, if an asset ha s a specified term, a Level 2 input is required to be observable for substantially the full term of the asset.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs should be developed using the best information available under the circumstances, which might include the City’s own data. The City should adjust that data if reasonable available information indicates that other market participants would use different data or certain circumstances specific to the City are not available to other market participants.
The following is a summary of the fair value hierarchy of the fair value of investments of the City as of June 30, 2025:

All investments classified in Level 2 were valued using prices provided by the City’s custodian bank.
H. INVENTORY AND PREPAIDS
Inventory is valued at cost, using the first-in, first-out method. For the General Fund, inventories consist of consumable supplies, and do not constitute available spendable resources, even though they are a component of net current assets. For proprietary funds, inventories represent materials and supplies for operations. The consumption method of accounting is applied to inventories.
Prepaids represent services that are paid for in advance. For governmental funds, prepaids do not constitute available spendable resources even though they are a component of net current assets.
The consumption method of accounting is applied to prepaids.
51
I. WATER UTILITY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The City bills usage to water utility customers on a bimonthly basis in arrears. At any given time, an average of one month's usage is unread and unbilled. These unbilled estimated usages have been recognized as revenue and receivables in the financial statements of the Water Utility enterprise fund.
J. ADVANCES TO OTHER FUNDS AND AGENCIES
Current portions of interfund loans receivable (reported in "due from" asset accounts) are considered available spendable resources.
K. ACCUMULATED UNPAID VACATION, COMPENSATORY AND SICK LEAVE Accumulated unpaid employee benefits are accrued at year-end. If vacation or compensatory leave is not taken by employees during their employment, the City is obligated to make cash payments to them on termination or retirement at the salary rates then in effect. City employees receive from thirteen to twenty-eight days of vacation each year.
Full-time City employees receive one working day of sick leave for each month of employment.
Employees who terminate for reasons other than death, retirement or abolishment of position lose all accumulated sick leave. Upon death, retirement after the age of 50 and 5 years of service or abolishment of position the City is obligated to pay 50% of unused sick leave, up to from 750 to 1,392 hours, depending on the bargaining unit, at the salary rate then in effect. The value of vested sick leave liability for all employees qualified for retirement on June 30 of each year is accrued.
The City’s liability for compensated absences is recorded in various governmental funds or proprietary funds as appropriate. The liability for compensated absences is determined annually.
For all governmental funds, compensated absences are reported only if they are still outstanding following an employee’s resignation or retirement.
The changes in the liability for compensated absences were as follows:
Governmental
Activities

Balance July 1, 2024 $18,491,208 $2,581,167 $21,072,375 Net Change (289,355) 180,940 (108,415) Balance June 30, 2025 $18,201,853 $2,762,107 $20,963,960 Due within one year $6,789,900 $1,048,376 $7,838,276
L. CLAIMS AND JUDGMENTS
The City has recognized a liability for workers' compensation and general liability claims in the Self-Insurance Internal Service Fund. This liability reflects the costs of claims determined to be probable of assertion and measurable in amount.
52
M. PROPERTY TAX LEVY, COLLECTION, MAXIMUM RATES
Article 13 of the California State Constitution provides for a maximum general property tax rate statewide of $1.00 per $100 of assessed value, and may be adjusted by no more than two percent per year unless the property is sold or transferred, in which case it is then assessed at sales price.
Assessed value is calculated at 100% of sales price as defined by the above referenced Article 13.
The State Legislature has determined the method of distribution of receipts from the $1.00 tax levy among the county, cities, school districts and other districts. Counties, cities and school districts may levy such additional tax rate as is necessar y to provide for voter-approved debt service. San Mateo County assesses properties, bills for, and collects property taxes on the following schedule:
SECURED
UNSECURED
Valuation dates March 1 March 1
Lien/levy dates January 1 January 1
Due Dates 50% on November 1 July 1
50% on February 1
Delinquent as of December 10 August 31
April 10
The term "unsecured" refers to taxes on property not secured by liens on real property. Property taxes levied are recorded as revenue and receivab les, net of estimated uncollectible amounts, in the fiscal year of levy. Property taxes which cannot be recorded as current year revenues, in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting, have been recorded as unearned revenues.
N. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
At June 30, 2025, the City had made commitments of approximately $30 million for construction work, legal and consulting fees, and purchases of supplies and equipment, which includes the encumbrances in Note 3C below.
B. LITIGATION
The City is subject to litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of the City Attorney, there is no pending litigation which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the City.
53
C. ENCUMBRANCES
The City uses an encumbrance system as an extension of normal budgetary accounting for governmental funds. Under this system, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of applicable appropriations. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are recorded as restricted, committed or assigned fund balance, depending on the classification of the resources to be used to liquidate the encumbrance, since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
Outstanding encumbrances
at year-end are automatically reappropriated for the following year. Unencumbered and unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end. Encu mbrances outstanding as of June 30, 2025 were $481,384 in the General Fund, $6,712,689 in the Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund, $492,139 in the Grants Special Revenue Fund, $8,223,454 in the Capital Projects Fund, and $358,142 in nonmajor governmental funds.
D. FEDERAL AND STATE GRANT PROGRAMS
The City participates in Federal and State grant programs. These programs have been audited by the City’s independent accountants in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Single Audit Act as amended and applicable State requirements. No cost disallowances were proposed as a result of these audits. However, these programs are still subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
NOTE 4.
CAPITAL ASSETS
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available, except for intangible right to ‐use lease assets, the measurement of which is discussed in Note 7 below and intangible right to use subscription assets the measurement of which is discussed in Note 14 below. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are reported at acquisition value. The City’s policy is to capitalize all assets with costs exceeding $25,000 for all classes of capital assets with useful lives exceeding two years. Prior to July 2020, the City’s policy was to capitalize costs exceeding $25,000 for infrastructure and $5,000 for all other classes of capital assets.
The City depreciates capital assets over their estimated useful lives. T he purpose of depreciation
is to spread the cost of capital assets equitabl y among all users over the life of these assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year represents that year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets.
54
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-lin e method, which means the cost of the asset is divided by its expected useful life in years and the
result is charged to expense each year until the
asset is fully depreciated. The City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets:
Buildings and Improvements 20-50 years Sewage Collection Facilities 10-50 years Streets and Infrastructure
20-60 years
Sewage Disposal and Treatment
Facilities
15-50 years
Park Structures and Improvements
10-30 years Sanitation Subsurface Lines and
Water Mains
25 years
Vehicles, Equipment, Furniture
and Fixtures
5-20 years
Wells and Pump Stations 40-50 years
Right to Use Leased Building
2 years
Water Reservoirs 40-99 years
Right-to-use Subscription Assets
3 years
The City capitalizes major asset purchases and improvements which increase the useful life of the related assets. Minor purchases and routine repair and maintenance costs are charged directly to expense. Major outlays for capi tal assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.

INTERNAL BALANCES
Internal balances are presented in the gover nmental-wide financial statements only. They represent the net interfund receivables and payables remaining after the elimination of all such balances within governmental and business-type activities.
NOTE 7.
LEASES
A. POLICIES
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset (the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment. The City recognizes lease receivables or liabilities with an initial, individual value of $25,000 or more.
Lessee – The City is a lessee for a noncancellable lease of office space, as well as the financed purchase discussed in Note 5. The City recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right ‐to‐use lease asset (lease asset) in the government‐wide financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct cost s. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight‐line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments as follows:
• The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. • The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. • Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that woul d require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the statement of net position.
61
Lessor – The
City is a lessor for noncancellable leases of buildings and facilities. The City recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the government ‐wide and fund financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present va lue, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts as follows:
• The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. • The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. • Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease, and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.

RETIREMENT PLAN
A. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PENSION PLANS
Plan Descriptions – All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City’s separate Safety (police and fire) and Miscellaneous (all other) Plans, 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 pl ans 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 cr edited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.

Contributions
– Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 fo llowing notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. 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. Employer 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 contribution requirements are classified as plan member contributions.
The City’s Contributions to the Plans for the year ended June 30, 2025 were $11,851,001 for the Miscellaneous Plan and $15,440,585 for the Safety Plan.
B. NET PENSION LIABILITY
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each Plan is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023, rolled forward to June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.
65
Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Actuarial Cost Method Entry-Age Norm al Cost Method
Actuarial As s umptions :
Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Payroll G rowth 2.80%
Projected Salary Increase V aries by Entry Age and Service Investm ent Rate of Return 6.90% (1)
Mortality Derived using CalPERS Mem bership Data for all Funds (2) Post Retirement Benefit Increase
The lesser of contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing
Protection Allowance floor on purchasing power applies,
2.30% thereafter
(1) Net of pension plan investm ent ex penses, including inflation (2) The m ortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions.
Mortality rates incorporate full generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the 2021 ex perience study report from Novem ber 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.
The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 valuation were based on the results of a November 2021 actuarial experience study for the period 2001 to 2019. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website at www.calpers.ca.gov.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for each Plan was
6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to dete rmine the discount rate for each Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) 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, each Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members for all plans in the PERF. 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 for each Plan.
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.
66
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building- block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 basis points.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Asset C l ass (a)
Assum ed
Asset
Allocation
Real return
(a) (b)
G lobal Equity - Cap-weighted 30.00% 4.54%

D. PENSION EXPENSE AND DEFERRED OUTFLOWS/INFLOWS OF
RESOURCES R
ELATED TO PENSIONS
Pension expense is the change in net pension liab ility from the previous fiscal year to the current fiscal year less adjustments. Deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions are certain changes in total pension liabilities and fiduciary net position that are to be recognized in future pension expense. For th e year ended June 30, 2025, the City recognized pension expense of $20,772,079 for the Miscellaneous Plan and $21,940,079 for the Safety Plan, for total pension expense of $42,712,158. At June 30, 2025, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION
The City provides certain health care benefits for employees who retire directly from the City with at least five years of service with the City and who are vested in the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS). The City participates in the CalPERS health care plan which is governed under the California Public Employees Health and Medical Care Act (PEHMCA). Required retiree medical plan contributions are also governed by PEHMCA for member agencies. The City joined the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), an agent multiple-employer plan administered by CALPERS, consisting of an aggregation of single- employer plans. The CERBT issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained from the California Public Employees' Retirement System, CERBT, P.O. Box 942703, Sacramento, CA 94229-2703.
For employees hired prior to February 1, 2024, the City contributes up to a fixed dollar amount for retiree medical benefits, which varies by em ployee bargaining group and coverage level as governed by PEHMCA. Benefits continue for surviving spouses in amounts as required by PEHMCA. Should an eligible retiree opt out of the CalPERS medical plan, they will receive $120 to $125 per month in lieu of contributions to the CalPERS plan.
70
For employees hired on or after February 1, 2024, the City contributes the PEHMCA minimum, which was $158 in 2025.
As of the June 30, 2024 measurement date, approx imately 512 retirees were eligible and were receiving retiree health care benefits from the City and approximately 40 inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefit payments. There were approximately 441 active full time employees that should they meet requirements will be eligible to receive health care benefits upon retirement.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City contributed $4,132,118 to the Plan, which was comprised of benefit premiums of $2,628,692, prefunding contributions of $750,000, administrative expenses of $26,426 and implied subsidy benefit payments of $727,000.
A. FUNDING POLICY AND ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS
The total OPEB liability was determined as part of a June 30, 2024 actuarial valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost method. This is a projected benefit cost method, which takes into account those benefits that are expected to be earned in the future as well as those already accrued. The actuarial assumptions included 2.50% inflation rate, 6.25% investment rate of return, 2.75% projected annual salary increase, and a medical trend of 8.50% (Non-Medicare),
7.50% (Medicare-Non-Kaiser) and 6.25% (Medicare- Kaiser) in 2025 decreasing to an ultimate rate of 3.45% in 2076. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.
Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to revision at least biannually as results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The City’s OPEB unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll using a 30 year closed amortization period for an initial June 30, 2008 Unfunded Accrued Actuarial Liability (UAAL), a 20 year closed amortization period for method assumptions and plan changes and 15 years for gains and losses, with a maximum of a 30 year combined closed period.
B. NET OPEB LIABILITY
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – The City’s net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2024 and the total OPEB liability used to calculat e the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2023.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building- block method in which expected fu ture real rates of return (expec ted returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are develope d for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:
71
Long-Term
Target Ex pected Real
Asset Class Allocation Rate of Return
Global Equity 49% 4.56%
Fixed Income 23% 1.56%
TIPS 5% -0.08%
Commodities 3% 1.22%
REITs 20% 4.06%
Assum ed Long-Term Rate of Inflation 100% 2.50%
Ex pected Long-Term Net Rate of Return 6.25%
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. B ased on those assumptions,
the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
City employees may defer a portion of their compensation under a City sponsored deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Under this plan, participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of their compensation until distributed to them; distributions may be made only at termination, retirement, death or in an emergency as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Plan is part of the public agency agent mu ltiple-employer defined contribution plan that is administered by CalPERS. Benefit provisions unde
r the Plan are established by City Resolution.
The laws governing deferred compensation plan assets require plan assets to be held by a trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. Since the assets held under these plans are not the City’s property and are not subject to City control, they have been excluded from these financial statements.
The City has no liability for any losses incurred by the Plan and does not participate in any gains, but does have the duty of due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The City has a contract with Mission Square to manage and invest the assets of the Plan. The administrator pools the assets of the Plan with those of other participants and does not make separate investments for the City. The assets in the Plan are the sole pr operty of the participants or their beneficiaries.
Since the assets held under the Plan are not the City’s property and are not subject to claims by general creditors of the City, they have been excluded from these financial statements. The Plan requires investments to be stated at fair market value and it requires all gains and losses on Plan investments to accrue directly to participant accounts.
The City adopted a Resolution in November 2020 that required a monthly deferred compensation contribution of $1,000 for the City Manager. Effective January 2024, the City’s required monthly deferred compensation contribution was reduced to $500. In August 2022, the City Council approved a one-time payment of vacation accruals in the amount of $17,250 toward the City Manager’s deferred compensation account. In addition, the City adopted a Resolution in November 2024 that required a monthly deferred compensation contribution of $500 for the City Attorney. The City does not make any other contributions to the Plan. The City’s required contributions for the year ended June 30, 2025 totaled $12,000.

NOTE 11.
SELF-INSURANCE
The Self-Insurance Internal Service Fund was established in 1979 to provide for payment of costs associated with the City’s risk management programs. Fund revenues consist of interest earnings, reimbursements of claims paid by the Fund and charges to other funds. The latter is intended to match the charges for insurance premiums for coverage in excess of self-insured amounts, estimated payments resulting from self-insurance programs, operating expenses and the provision of reserves for pending and possible future claims.
The City has a self-insured retention for the first $500,000 of general and automobile liability claims and maintains a $50,000 deductible for property losses. Losses in excess of the retention up to $250,000,000 on general and automobile liability are covered by purchased excess insurance. The City purchases combined property, boiler and machinery and automobile comprehensive insurance covering all but the deductible on the full value of City property. Settlements have never exceeded insurance coverage. The City expenses the incurred liabilities for claims in cases where such amounts are reasonably determinable and where the likelihood of liability exists. Included are estimates for incurred but not reported claims, which are calculated based on claims experience.
The City is a member of Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM), a joint powers authority (JPA) which provides excess workers’ compensation liability claims coverage above the City’s self-insured retention of $350,000 per occurrence. Losses above the self-insured retention are pooled with excess reinsurance purchased to provide coverage to statutory limits.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City contributed $ 962,558 to PRISM for current year coverage. Audited financial statements for PRISM are available from PRISM at 75 Iron Point Circle, Suite 200, Folsom, CA 95630.
The City’s present value liability for uninsured claims including a provision for claims incurred but not reported using a discount rate of 2% was computed as follows based on claims experience for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
2025 2024
Beginning balance of claims payable $10,784,000 $10,073,000 Increase in estimated claims liability 3,211,264 3,906,938 Claims paid (2,989,264) (3,195,938)
Ending balance of claims payable $11,006,000 $10,784,000 Current Portion $2,753,216 $2,928,869
The undiscounted claims totaled $12,176,000 at June 30, 2025.

NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCE
A. NET POSITION
Net Position is the excess of all the City’s assets and deferred outflows over all its liabilities and deferred inflows, regardless of fund. Net Position is divided into three captions. These captions apply only to Net Position and are described below:
Net Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of Net Position which is represented by the current net book value of the City’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include developer fees received for use on capital projects, debt service requirements an d amounts required to be set aside for low and moderate income housing.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted as to use.
B. GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCES
The City’s fund balances are classified in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, which requires the City to classify its fund balances based on spending constraints imposed on the use of resources.
For programs with multiple funding sources, the City prioritizes and expends funds in the following order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Each category in the following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint.
Nonspendables represents balances set aside to indicate items do not represent available, spendable resources even though they are a component of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained intact, such as Permanent Funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids, notes receivable, and land held for redevelopment are included. However, if proceeds realized from the sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed or assigned, then Nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for a specific purpose. Encumbrances and nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable resources.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by formal action of the City Council by resolution which may be altered only by formal action in the same manner. Encumbrances and nonspendable amounts subject to council commitments are included along with spendable resources.
76
Assigned
fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council by resolution or its designee (City Manager) and may be changed at the discretion of the City Council by resolution. This category includes encumbrances; Nonspendables, when it is the City’s intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific purpose, and residual fund balances, if any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds which have not been restricted or committed.
Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned. This includes the residual general f und balance and residual fund deficits, if any, of other governmental funds.

C. MINIMUM FUND BALANCE POLICY
The City Council adopted a General Fund Reserve Policy in July 2020 to establish target reserve levels and the methodology for calculating reserve levels. The Policy also establishes criteria for the use of reserves and a process to replenish reserves.
The Policy requires the City to strive to maintain the following fund balances:
1) Contingency Fund
The City shall maintain a minimum Contingency Fund reserve equal to $1,000,000 within its General Fund to provide a financial cushion to cover revenue shortfalls resulting from unexpected economic changes or recessionary periods or to provide funds in the event of major unplanned expenditures the City could face as a result of natural or man-made disasters such as earthquakes, windstorms, landslides, floods, wildfires, natural gas leaks, or terrorist attacks.
The balance of the Contingency Fund Reserve was $1,000,000 at June 30, 2025 and is reported as a component of General Fund unassigned fund balance. 2) General Fund Operating Reserve
The City shall maintain a minimum General Fund operating reserve equal to two months (17%), and a targeted reserve equal to three months (25%), of General Fund annual operating expenditures plus recurring (i.e., not one-time) transfers to other funds for that fiscal year. These reserves will be used to provide adequate cash flow and budget contingencies.
The balance of the Operating Reserve was $22.25 million at June 30, 2025 and is reported as a component of General Fund unassigned fund balance.
If reserves are projected to fall below, or unexpectedly fall below, the minimum levels as set by this policy, the City shall include within its annual budget a plan to restore reserves to the minimum levels within two years based on its long-range financial forecast. Such a plan may include, but not be limited to, revenue enhancements, service delivery changes, expenditure controls/cost shifts, and/or service level reductions . At no time shall reserves be planned to fall below zero for any operating or capital fund.
D. NET POSITION RESTRICTED FOR QUALIFIED CAPITAL OUTLAY The City established a Reserve for Qualified Capital Outlay in the Sanitation District Enterprise Fund and transferred into it amounts from fiscal years 2019 to 2025 necessary to ensure compliance with State Gann Limit provisions. These funds will be used solely to pay for Gann Limit excludable capital expenses. To qualify, they must be for assets with a value greater than $100,000 and a useful life of at least 10 years.

LOANS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
Housing Rehabilitation Program – The City administers a housing rehabilitation program using Housing and Community Development Block Gr ant (CDBG) and Cal Home funds that is accounted for in the Community Block Grant Special Revenue Fund and Grants Special Revenue Fund. Under this program, individuals with income s below a certain level are eligible to receive low interest loans, secured by deeds of trust or mobile home liens, for construction work on their homes. Although these loans and notes are expected to be repaid, their balance has been offset by unavailable revenue as they are not expected to be repaid during the next fiscal year.
During fiscal year 2025, the City made loans to three participants unde r this program and the CDBG and Cal HOME loan program activity is as follows:
Beginning Balance $1,263,087
New Loans 98,655
Loan repayments (133,585)
Loans forgiven (5,313)
Ending Balance $1,222,844

SUBSCRIPTION-BASED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ARRANGEMENTS
A. POLICIES
A subscription-based information technology arrangement (SBITA) is a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a SBITA vendor’s) IT software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underl ying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.
At the commencement of a SBITA, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the contract term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of payments made. The subscription asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the subscription liability, adjusted for payments made at or before the SBITA commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs.
Subsequently, the subscription asset is amortized on a straight ‐line basis over shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT assets. The City recognizes subscription assets with an initial, individual value of $25,000 or more.
Key estimates and judgments related to SBITAs include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments as follows:
• The City uses the interest rate charged by th e IT vendor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the IT vendor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for subscription liabilities. 79
• The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the subscription.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its subscription and will remeasure the subscription as set and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability.
Subscription assets are reported with other capital assets and subscription liabilities are reported on the statement of net position.

Changes in assumptions. There were no assumption changes in 2023 or 2024. Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (June 30, 2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows.
In addition, demographic assumptions and the price inflation assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement dates June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2021,
7.65% for measurement dates June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
Benefit changes. The figures above generally include any liability impact that may have resulted from voluntary benefit changes that occurred on or before the Measurement Date. However, offers of Two Years Additional Service Credit (a.k.a. Golden Handshakes) that occurred after the Valuation Date are not included in the figures above, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material by the plan actuary.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal Service Funds are used to finance and account for special activities and services performed by a designated department for other departments in the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
The concept of major funds does not extend to internal service funds because they do not do business with outside parties. For the Statement of Activities, the net revenues or expenses of each internal service fund are eliminated by netting them against the operations of the other City departments which generated them. The remaining balance sheet items are consolidated with these same funds in the Statement of Net Position. However, internal service funds are still presented separately in the Fund financial statements.
The City's Internal Service Funds are:
• Motor Vehicles – to account for the purchase and maintenance of all motor vehicles provided as a service to City departments.
• Central Services – to account for and allocate costs related to providing mail messenger services for City departments.
• PBX – to account for services provided for the operation and maintenance of the City's telephone system.
• Building Maintenance – to account for services provided for the maintenance of City facilities. • Information Services – to account for the distribution of computer hardware, software and operating costs to various City departments.
• Self-Insurance – to account for the costs of workers compensation, automotive, and general liability claims against the City.
• PERS Contributions – to account for the long-term debt, prepaid PERS contributions and repayments from benefiting City funds and departments resulting from the City’s PERS Obligation Bond issue.
• Pension UAL – to account for funding set-aside towards the City’s pension unfunded actuarial liability.
