Agenda Item #: 1.1
Meeting Date: February 17, 2026
CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Daniel Fox, City Manager
FROM: Cathy Nguyen, Management Analyst, City Manager's Office TITLE: False Alarm Reduction Program Review.
BACKGROUND:
The recent concerns surrounding the future deficit, increased costs in public safety contracts and residential burglaries sparked more in-depth conversations about how the City can re-allocate resources to better serve the community. One of the ways to address this is to reduce the number of false alarm calls. From 2023 to 2025, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department responded to 3,877 false alarm calls. In 1993, City Council passed Resolution 93-68, which established a service charge for false alarms. However, fees are not being collected.
While Sec. 5.08.030. includes relevant definitions and general requirements, there are opportunities for enhancement.
ANALYSIS:
In 2025, City staff assessed 58 California municipalities to determine how false alarms are managed and whether there is a program in place. Data collected include: county (62% from Los Angeles); population (various sizes, based on 2024 U.S. Census estimates); municipal code; third party used; permit cost; and fees per false alarm occurrence. While fifty-seven (57) of the assessed cities have a municipal code that addresses false alarms, 42 have an "active" program in place that consists of a fee schedule and billing process as well as a dedicated web-page. Of the 42 cities, more than half (25) utilize a third party to manage and administer the program.
Relaunching the false alarm program would be a significant undertaking for the City — especially during a time when resources are already strained. On December 19, 2025, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was released on PlanetBids, which resulted in 4 received proposals that City staff is currently reviewing. Once false alarm fees can be collected, there will be a percentage split between the City and third party, from which revenues can be used to offset public safety costs.
To provide a stronger foundation for successful execution of a false alarm reduction program, the City Attorney is currently making draft revisions to the existing municipal code by adding requirements for alarm users and companies, establishing a procedure for alarm permits and defining consequences for excessive false alarms within a 12-month period.
STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION: Update false alarm language within the municipal code by adding Chapter 8.27.
Alarm Systems. Onboard a third party to manage and administer the false alarm program. Develop a community outreach campaign to promote educational awareness.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR - CITY TREASURER'S CASH BALANCE REPORT AS OF JANUARY 31, 2026
Agenda Item #: 7.4
Meeting Date: February 17, 2026
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
SUBJECT: Appropriation for Special Legal Counsel Services.
STRATEGIC GOAL: Safe, Sustainable and Healthy Community RECOMMENDATION:
Appropriate $100,000 from the available General Fund Unassigned fund balance for Special Legal Services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A total of $100,000 would be appropriated from the General Fund to the Special Legal Services account (100120-54022) to cover such costs.
BACKGROUND:
In addition to the City’s primary legal services through Woodruff & Smart, the City often enlists the services of additional legal experts to assist in a number of matters important to the community. The City has secured the services of Claire Collins of Hansen Bridgett LLP for special legal counsel services related to issues involving the sanitary sewer system serving properties in the City.
ANALYSIS:
Ms. Collins’ services were initially retained for a not-to-exceed amount of $45,000 under the City Manager’s signature authority. In both May and September 2025, the City Council approved additional appropriations of $100,000 each, bringing the total appropriations to date to $245,000. It is anticipated that at some future date, the cost of Ms. Collins’ services will exceed that amount and thus, City Council approval of an additional appropriation is required.
It is therefore recommended that the City Council appropriate $100,000 from the available General Fund balance to cover such services.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and concurs with the recommendation.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A combination of grants and special funds currently funds the Project's construction phase (CIP# SI256). After the exchange process is completed, the City will utilize the $1,166,000 of Proposition C funding received for construction, and reserve the full amounts of Measure M ($380,000), Measure R ($600,000), and a portion of local Proposition C ($178,000) funding currently allocated to the Project for future projects.
Sufficient funding is available in the Project design budget (CIP# PW17) to fund the not-to-exceed amount of $75,170 for the Second Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with MNS Engineers, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
STP-L Exchange
Surface Transportation Program – Local (STP-L) refers to federal-aid highway funds allocated to states and to local governments for use on eligible projects. These funds, as they were at the time they were allocated to the
Agenda Item #: 7.5
Meeting Date: February 17, 2026
City, were formula-based and subject to strict federal obligation limits. To prevent these funds from lapsing, the City programmed and subsequently obligated its STP-L funding for the construction of the Diamond Bar Blvd Complete Streets Project, an STP-L-eligible project.
On November 4, 2025, the City Council approved the awarding of a construction agreement for the Diamond Bar Blvd Complete Streets Project (Project, CIP# SI256). As part of that process, the City informed the Council that the Federal STP-L grant fund would not be used for the construction of the Project.
Design Support During Construction
On November 21, 2023, the City Council approved the First Amendment to an existing agreement with MNS Engineers, Inc. (Consultant) to incorporate the Town Center Specific Plan elements in the design of the Project.
ANALYSIS:
STP-L Exchange
Although the federal STP-L funding of $1.166 million was fully approved by Metro and obligated by Caltrans for the Project, the City, to avoid the regulatory impact of this partial federal funding on the entire project budget of about $10 million, has been working with Metro and Caltrans to de-federalize the Project and facilitate an exchange of federal funding for non-federal funds. As federal funding requirements have evolved over the years, the impact of maintaining the project's federal status, including additional construction and administrative costs, was estimated to consume most of the STP-L grant funding.
The City and Metro collaborated on an exchange agreement (Attachment 1), under which the City would receive $1.166 million in Proposition C funding in exchange for the STP-L funding for the Project. After completing the exchange process as outlined in the agreement, the City proposes to replace other funding sources of the Project with this Prop C funding as follows:
Funding Source Currently Approved Proposed (After Exchange) Change STP-L Exchange Prop C $- $1,166,000 $1,166,000
TDA C6 Grant $3,936,000 $3,936,000 $-
MSP Grant $2,985,000 $2,985,000 $-
Measure W $900,000 $900,000 $-
Proposition A $1,340,000 $1,340,000 $-
TDA $100,000 $100,000 $-
Proposition C $328,000 $150,000 ($178,000)
Measure M $380,000 $- ($380,000)
Measure R $600,000 $- ($600,000)
TOTAL $10,569,000 $10,577,000 $8,000
Design Support During Construction
The Project's design scope of work did not include support from the design consultant during construction. That is the City's standard practice for larger projects when a construction schedule is unavailable due to funding uncertainty or other factors. Since a construction contract was awarded on November 4, 2025, and the Project is officially in its construction phase, a Second Amendment (Attachment 2) is proposed to cover the design engineer's service costs during construction and at the Project's closure. These services include, among other things, review of submittals and shop drawings prepared by the contractor, responding to the contractor's Request for Information (RFIs) on the design, Construction Change Order review support, and preparation of as-built plans at the project completion.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Agenda Item #: 7.5
Meeting Date: February 17, 2026
It has been determined that this Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provisions, pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, guidelines for the implementation of CEQA, Section 15301(c) under Class 1 Existing Facilities, existing highways and streets.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Exchange Agreement and the Second Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement as to form.

SUBJECT: Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025.
STRATEGIC GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the FY 2024/25 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 annual audit has been completed by the City’s independent audit firm of Lance, Soll and Lunghard, LLP (LSL). The City’s Finance Department, in concert with LSL, has prepared the FY 2024/25 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). The City’s Audit Subcommittee, which is comprised of Mayor Steve Tye and Mayor Pro Tem Ruth Low, met on February 4, 2026 with the City Manager, Finance Director, Finance Supervisor and an LSL representative to discuss the results of the audit.
In the opinion of LSL, the financial statements reflect fairly the financial position and results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The auditors found no instances of material weaknesses in the City’s internal controls and no instances of non-compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts or grants, which could have a material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. They also indicated that there were no disagreements with management in completing their audit.
The ACFR has been prepared in conformance with the requirements of the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34. As a result, the report format includes the Management Discussion and Analysis, Required Supplementary Information, and the Government-wide Financial Statements which include the Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities. A copy of the FY 2024/25 ACFR is included as Attachment 1.

Government-wide revenues from all functions and programs for FY 2024/25 rose $2.4 million to $47.4 million, an increase of 5.4%. This increase is due mainly to the City’s receipt of donated land, Stevens Field (baseball facilities), and substantive one-time State grants for capital improvements to City parks (Maple Hill Park and Pantera Park), and investment income, offset by reductions in sales tax revenues and charges for service, such as city user fees.
Government-wide expenses from all City programs and activities for FY 2024/25 rose by $3.4 million to $43.4 million, an increase of 8.5%. This increase in costs is due mainly to rising inflation affecting general government services, public safety programs and capital projects, offset by reductions in park & recreation spending, mainly due to the elimination of the capital expense related to the capitalization/acquisition of the Stevens Field property in the amount of $925 thousand. As a result, total net position increased by $2.2 million to $401.9 million.
General Fund Revenues & Expenditures
Agenda Item #: 9.1
Meeting Date: February 17, 2026
General Fund revenues were $30.6 million for FY 2024/25, a year-over-year decrease of $521.6 thousand (or
1.7%), and $484.6 thousand less than the FY 2024/25 Revised Budget of $31.1 million. The unfavorable result is mainly due to decreased revenues from the Taxes category, namely Sales Taxes (-$345.6 thousand) and Franchise Fees (-$93.4 thousand). Additional detail on the City's sales tax receipts in shown in the table below.
General Fund expenditures were $28.6 million for FY 2024/25, a year-over-year increase of $1.9 million (or 6.9%), and $2.1 million less than the FY 2024/25 Revised Budget of $30.7 million. Of this $2.1 million in budget savings, an amount of $71.2 thousand has been carried over (i.e. re-appropriated) for ongoing initiatives in FY 2025/26 (e.g. citywide fee update, labor relations, special legal services).
Transfers-In for FY 2024/25 were mostly composed of Gas Tax revenues used to offset qualifying General Fund expenditures for road maintenance. Transfers-Out for FY 2024/25 were composed mainly of ongoing nondiscretionary payments for insurance premiums and debt service and one-time expenditures for capital improvement projects. Transfers-In net of Transfers-Out were negative $2.3 million. This net negative category was determinative in the final operating deficit of $254.2 thousand for FY 2024/25, an outcome that was expected in the revised budget which authorized an operating deficit of $3.1 million to fund one-time
Agenda Item #: 9.1
Meeting Date: February 17, 2026
initiatives and projects. An unspent Transfers-Out appropriation in the amount $1.1 million will be carried over (i.e. re-appropriated) for ongoing capital improvement projects in FY 2025/26, namely Diamond Bar Center facility upgrades, Sycamore Canyon Park Bridge (design), Canyon Loop Trail (habitat restoration), and Diamond Bar Blvd. Complete Streets (design).
Reserve Balances
Taken in aggregate, fund balances for all governmental funds were $61.6 million and at the end of FY 2024/25, a decrease of $4.5 million. This result follows a prior-year increase of $2.8 million and is mainly the result of utilizing fund balances for one-time capital projects approved in the City Capital Improvement Program.
More information on reserve balances can be found in Note 11 of the attached ACFR and in the Statistical Section.
Reserve Funding
The FY 2024/25 ACFR includes the fund balance reserve reporting methodology set forth in GASB Statement No. 54. It is a long-term goal of the City to build unrestricted reserve funds to provide flexibility, respond to emergencies, fund new projects and replace and maintain facilities, capital equipment and assets. Therefore, the City Council approved an updated Fund Balance and Reserves Policy on August 20, 2019 (Res. No. 2019- 36) which established that an amount of no less than 25% of General Fund expenditures be set aside as a formal commitment of fund balance to be used in the event of a Federal, State or Local emergency.
At June 30, 2025, the amount committed to emergency contingencies totals $8.1 million (25% of the FY 2025/26 Adopted General Fund Budget). This amount is included within the $34.4 million General Fund reserve balance noted above and is highlighted separately in the schedule below which shows balances for key operating reserves.
Agenda Item #: 9.1
Meeting Date: February 17, 2026
Total key reserves, as shown in the table above, decreased marginally by $73.5 thousand (or -0.7%) to a total of $41.3 million. The General Fund Unassigned Reserve increased $1.3 million due mainly to shifting reserve balances from the Capital Improvement Projects and the Contingency Reserves. The Technology and General Plan Update Reserves decreased $651.7 thousand in aggregate due to ongoing projects, namely the upgrade of the City’s Land Management System and the development of the Town Center Specific Plan.
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Fund
As required by GASB Statement No. 75, the ACFR includes disclosure of the City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability. In connection with the retirement benefits for employees provided through California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), the City provides post-retirement health care benefits to retirees through the CalPERS Health Benefits program. Although the retiree pays most of the cost of this benefit the City is required to pay a small portion of this cost – the City’s OPEB obligation is derived from this benefit.
The City’s total OPEB obligation at June 30, 2025 was $1,344,501 a decrease of $41,963. However, when taking into account the City’s OPEB trust fund plan balance of $945,947 (70% of liability) held with the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), the net liability reduces to $398,554. Additional funding in the amount of $259,359 (19% of liability) is also set aside in an OPEB Reserve fund (see table above) held by the City for future contributions to the trust, for a total funding status of 90%, which is an increase from the 80% funding status as of the prior year ending June 30, 2024, and a significant improvement from the 71% funding status the year ending June 30, 2022.
This funding level is considered quite favorable when compared to other cities and meets the City’s desired 80% funding goal established in the City’s Fund Balance and Reserves Policy.
Pension Liability
Since 2014, GASB Statement No. 68 has required the inclusion of Net Pension Liability in the Statement of Net Position. As of June 30, 2025, the City reported a total net pension liability of $8,708,162, a decrease from the prior year amount of $8,772,989. As of the most recently available valuation date from CalPERS (June 30, 2024) the City’s miscellaneous pension plan is 77.4% funded, an improvement from the prior year funded status of
75.7%. More information on pensions may be found in Note 8 of the ACFR.

To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council
and the Residents of the City of Diamond Bar, California:
It is an honor to submit to you the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Diamond Bar for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently, responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation n, including all disclosures, rests with the City’s management. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide assurance that the financial statements will be free from misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects.
The City’s financial statements have been audited by LSL, LLP, a firm of certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
The independent auditor concluded based upon the audit that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, were fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement and should be read in conjunction with the MD&A. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
PROFILE OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
The City of Diamond Bar was incorporated on April 18, 1989, and is located at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County in the East San Gabriel Valley. Diamond Bar is primarily a residential community of about 57,000, situated among the meandering hills and valleys of Brea Canyon. Many desired services can be found in Diamond Bar's shopping and business centers. Recreational opportunities within the City include more than 75 acres of developed park facilities, hiking trails, a community center, a County-owned and operated 18-hole public golf course and more than 370 acres of undeveloped publicly owned open space.
Diamond Bar is also strategically located at the junction of the SR-57 and SR-60 freeways with easy access to I-10 and SR-71 freeways. This makes Diamond Bar a desirable and convenient location to live and work within close proximity to Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. i
Diamond Bar is a General Law city and operates under the council-manager form of government. Policy making and legislative authority are vested in a five- member City Council. The City Council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing Commissioners, and hiring both the City Manager and contracting for City Attorney services. The Council Members are elected by districts on a non-partisan basis and serve four-year staggered terms, with elections held every other year.
Each December, the City Council selects a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem from its membership. The City Manager is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, and for appointing the heads of the various departments.
The City of Diamond Bar operates primarily as a “contract city” utilizing agreements with other governmental agencies, private sector firms and individuals to provide many of its essential services. This includes law enforcement services, animal services, building and safety services, engineering, road maintenance and landscape maintenance.
The Los Angeles County Fire District provides fire protection, which is independent of the City. Los Angeles County also provides library services through a Library District, and sewer and sanitation services through a Sanitation District. Funds for these services are collected through property tax bills and are disbursed directly by the Los Angeles County Tax Collector's Office to those entities.
Water services for the City are provided by the Walnut Valley Water District. Refuse collection is provided by private waste collection companies. Additionally, schools are provided by both the Walnut Valley Unified School District and the Pomona Unified School District. Accordingly, none of these activities are included in this report.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The Adopted FY 2025/26 Budget reflects a more constrained fiscal environment, shaped by cost pressures, economic uncertainty, and a persistent imbalance between recurring revenues and expenditures. While the City continues to prioritize core services and targeted investments, the budget reflects a cautious and disciplined approach to long-term financial commitments. The General Fund is budgeted with a modest surplus; however, this outcome is largely supported by one-time actions, underscoring the importance of continued attention to the City’s underlying fiscal structure.
Looking forward, anticipated improvements in broader economic conditions and interest-rate trends may provide some stabilization to revenues and investment earnings. Through prudent financial planning, conservative assumptions, and ongoing policy discussions, management remains focused on preserving the City’s fiscal health and ensuring responsible stewardship of public resources in support of the community’s long-term prosperity.
Economic Development continues to be an area of priority for the City. Accordingly, the FY 2025/26 Budget incorporates resources dedicated to continue planning efforts to create a pedestrian-oriented and walkable Town Center and programs to retain current businesses and attract new businesses that increase the City’s employment base and generate revenue. In addition, management continues to promote a “Shop Diamond Bar First, Keep It Local” campaign with a local rewards program to encourage residents to invest in their community through supporting local businesses.
AWARDS
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 Diamond Bar for its annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local financial reports.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR), with contents that conform to program standards. The ACFR must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
ii
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City of Diamond Bar has received the Certificate of Achievement for the last thrity consecutive years (fiscal years ended 1995 through 2024).
We believe our current report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we will be submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES
This Annual Comprehensive Financial Report includes all funds of the City. The City directly provides a limited range of services and contracts for several other services. The City's significant reliance on contracted services has the benefit of reducing expenses to the citizens of the City of Diamond Bar while simultaneously providing the City with a high degree of flexibility in responding to changing economic conditions.
Contracted services include law enforcement protection, building and safety, street maintenance, park maintenance, capital improvement projects, animal control, attorney services and engineering. Staff provided services include: community development (which includes planning, building and safety administration, and neighborhood improvement), public works (which includes engineering, capital projects administration, street maintenance contract management, traffic and transportation matters, engineering contract management, park maintenance, landscape maintenance and solid waste contract management), parks & recreation (which includes senior services, recreation services, community events and community center operation), public information, subsidized transit ticket sales, grant administration, financial management, administrative management, human resources and risk management, information systems and economic development. All of these activities are included in this report.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
The City of Diamond Bar’s accounting system has been developed by giving consideration to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are implemented by the City to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; and that the City’s financial records used for preparing financial statements are maintained in a reliable fashion.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of these controls should not exceed the benefits derived from them. The City’s internal controls accomplish these objectives.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The preparation of this Annual Comprehensive Financial Report was made possible by the dedicated service and excellence found within the City's Finance Department staff, and through the cooperation of the entire City staff. Each City staff member has my sincere appreciation for their cooperation and contributions in the preparation of this Report.
I would like to thank Jason Jacobsen, Finance Director, for his prudent fiscal stewardship. In addition, I would also like to thank our independent auditor, LSL, LLP, who provided expertise and advice in the preparation of the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
In closing, without the leadership and support of the City Council of the City of Diamond Bar, the preparation of this Report would not have been possible.
Sincerely,
Daniel Fox
City Manager

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Diamond Bar, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Diamond Bar, California, (hereafter, the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements 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, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
Change in Accounting Principle
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2025, the City adopted new accounting guidance, GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Diamond Bar, California
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with 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 management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and required pension and other post-employment benefits schedules as listed on 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. 2
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Diamond Bar, California
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules (supplementary information) are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary 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 information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 28, 2026, 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 City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Diamond Bar, we offer readers this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The total revenues from all sources totaled $47,379,769, an increase of $2.4 million, or 5.4%, from the prior year. This increase is due mainly to the City’s receipt of donated land, Stevens Field (baseball facilities), and substantive one-time State grants for capital improvements to City parks (Maple Hill Park and Pantera Park), and investment income, offset by reductions in sales tax revenues and charges for service.
• The total cost of all City programs totaled $43,377,788, an increase of $3.4 million, or 8.5%, from the prior year. This increase in costs is due mainly to rising inflation affecting general government services, public safety programs and capital projects, offset by reductions in park & recreation spending.
• The assets and deferred outflows of the City of Diamond Bar exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at the close of the fiscal year by $401,888,912 (net position), an increase of $2.2 million from the prior year. Of this amount, $30,636,281 represents unrestricted net position that may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. • As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Diamond Bar’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $61,569,912, a decrease of $4.4 million in comparison with the prior year, or 6.7%. Approximately $32.5 million of the $61.6 million is unrestricted and available for spending at the City’s discretion, including amounts assigned and committed by city council action.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the Unassigned Fund Balance of the General Fund was $23,084,596 which represents an increase of $1.4 million from the prior year amount of $21,674,550. The Unassigned Fund Balance is in addition to an $8,071,538 reserve for emergencies/contingencies as established by Council resolution and $1,128,611 committed to capital projects for parks and facilities. The increase in General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance was mainly due to transferring funds from these two reserves, in addition to unrealized gains (inclusive of amortized discounts) from the City’s investment portfolio of approximately $1.4 million.
Unrealized gains would be realized were the portfolio liquidated at current market valuations as of June 30, 2025, and fluctuate with interest rates.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Diamond Bar’s basic financial statements. The City of Diamond Bar’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government–wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Diamond Bar’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. These statements include the statement of net position and the statement of activities.
5
The statement of net position presents financial information on all of the City of Diamond Bar’s assets, liabilities and deferred inflows/outflows of resources with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Diamond Bar is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Diamond Bar that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Diamond Bar include general government, public safety, highways and streets, community development, and parks and recreation. The City of Diamond Bar currently has no business-type activities or enterprise funds.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Diamond Bar itself, but also a legally separate financing authority. Although legally separate, the Diamond Bar Public Financing Authority is included because the City is financially accountable for it.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Diamond Bar, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories:
governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the governmentwide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in assessing the near-term financing requirements necessary to finance City programs. A reconciliation to facilitate a comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities is located on page 23 of the financial statements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impacts of the City’s near-term financing decisions. The governmental funds balance sheet can be found on page 22 of the financial statements, and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances can be found on page 24 of the financial statements.
The City of Diamond Bar adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget on page 61.
Proprietary Funds – The type of proprietary funds that the City maintains are internal service funds that are used to allocate costs internally among the various functions of the City. The City of Diamond Bar uses these funds to account for its liability insurance costs and vehicle, building and computer maintenance and replacement costs. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities within the government-wide financial statements.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Other Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City’s budgetary control and accounting and expenditures in excess of appropriations.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
City-wide Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Net Position is intended to measure an agency’s financial health at the end of the fiscal year. The “net position” is the net of the agency’s total assets and its total liabilities. At June 30, 2025, the City of Diamond Bar’s net position (total assets and deferred outflows, less total liabilities and deferred inflows) was $401,888,912 (see Table 1 below).
By far the largest portion of the City’s net position (86%) is its investment in capital assets in the amount of $347,121,148 (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, machinery, equipment, and construction in progress).
The City of Diamond Bar uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is also reported net of outstanding related debt used to acquire those assets, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. As shown in Table 1 below, the City’s net investment in capital assets is $341,243,748 which represents an increase of approximately $10.1 million from the prior year.
This increase is a result of additional investments in capital assets (net of adjustments and deletions), less depreciation expense, plus a year-over-year decrease in outstanding debt (e.g. outstanding bonds payable) used to finance the capital assets (see note 5 Capital Assets for more information).
The City’s total liabilities are $24,813,854 which is a decrease of $2.9 million due largely to decreases in accounts payable in the amount of $3.4 million offset by various smaller increases. The City’s restricted net position decreased by $1.9 million from last year. This is mostly attributable to the expenditure of monies restricted for highways and streets accounted for in the City’s special revenue funds. These funds are accumulated to fund large capital projects and, once appropriated, can take several years to fully expend.

Table 1
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
Statement of Net Position
The unrestricted portion of the total net position represents those funds the City can use at its sole discretion. This portion is often looked at when evaluating a city’s financial health. The unrestricted net position decreased by $6.0 million due mainly to the utilization of accumulated reserves for investment in capital projects related to parks and facilities, as well as investments made for computer hardware and software. For context, the unrestricted reserve increased by $2.8 million the prior year.
Governmental Activities and Changes in Net Position. Although the Statement of Net Position discussed above is an important measure of financial health, it is only at a specific point in time. A more useful measure is how the City’s financial position is changing over time. Table 2 below present a summary of the City’s change in net position from the prior year, and the specific revenue and expenditure activities that caused the change.

Governmental Revenues. As show in Table 2 above, total
revenues for all governmental activities were $47,379,769. This is approximately $2.4 million, or 5.4%, higher than the prior year.
Revenues were supported by a significant increase of $1.2 million in capital grants and contributions due to large state grants utilized for capital projects, plus approximately $1.0 million in land donations (Stevens Field) and an increases in investment earnings in the amount of $400 thousand. These increases were offset by a notable decrease in sales taxes in the amount of $345 thousand.
As mentioned, revenues from the use of money & property demonstrated some improvement, ending the year with $4.5 million. Total revenue from the use of money and property reflects one-time increase from cell tower lease revenues, plus total investment earnings of $2.9 million. In addition, non-cash adjustments were made for unrealized gains (inclusive of discount amortizations) in the amount of $1.4 million.
Unrealized gains would only be realized were the portfolio liquidated at current market valuations as of June 30, 2025, and fluctuate with interest rates.

Governmental Expenses
The FY 2024/25 budget was developed with the intention of holding steady programs and services across the organization with continued investment in city infrastructure, programming and personnel. As such, the adopted budget and actual expenditures were higher in FY 2024/25 than in FY 2023/24. Specifically, the adopted FY 2024/25 General Fund operating budget totaled $32.9 million compared to the FY 2023/24 revised budget of $31.9 million (excluding sub-funds). The adopted government-wide budget (exclusive of transfers) for FY 2024/25 totaled $53.3 million, while the FY 2023/24 budget was $49.2 million, reflecting increased investment in public works programs ($1.0 million), computer infrastructure ($600 thousand) and general government services ($325 thousand).
In addition to expanding programs and services, the City also increased appropriations to its Adopted FY 2024/25 Capital Improvement Program by $2.0 million for improvements to street infrastructure as well as to advance deferred maintenance for stormwater infrastructure and parks. The FY 2024/25 Revised Capital Improvement Program totaled $27.8 million (inclusive of carryovers from the prior year), while the FY 2023/24 Revised Capital Improvement Program totaled $22.6 million (inclusive of carryovers from the prior year). While not all of the budget is expended within each year of appropriation, and much of the funding comes from restricted revenues and grants, the growth nonetheless helps explain the increases in Property Taxes

the overall spending that occurred generally throughout all categories, most notably public works expenditures which totaled $16.6 million as compared to $14.7 million the prior year (see Table 2 above).
This increase was mainly due to the exchange of restricted Proposition A revenues ($1.3 million) for unrestricted General Fund revenues ($1.0 million) subsequently dedicated to city parks. In addition, general government expenses increased by $1.2 million due to increases to contract services, increased investment in computer infrastructure (previously mentioned), and normal cost of living adjustments along with natural salary grade progressions for city employees. In addition, public safety expenses increased $502 thousand due to contract adjustments with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. These increases were offset by a reduction of $564 thousand in parks and recreation expenses mainly due to the elimination of the capital expense related to the capitalization/acquisition of the Stevens Field property in the amount of $925 thousand.
City Reserves
In 2011 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-26 establishing policies related to fund balance and reserves. These policies were amended in August of 2019 with the adoption of Resolution No. 2019-36. In general, reserves are intended to serve a variety of goals and purposes. One of the key reserves set forth in the City’s reserve policies is for emergencies, such as natural disasters (earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, etc.), or unexpected events and circumstances that impact the City’s finances. The recent global pandemic is an excellent example of this. Another purpose of reserves is to set aside funds for the replacement of equipment, vehicles, facilities, and other capital needs. The accumulation of such funds over time minimizes the financial burden and impacts of funding these types of capital items, which often are very expensive, in a single year.
12
The degree to which a city has set aside reserves for the purposes noted above is an important measure of a city’s financial health. To that end, the City’s reserve policies establish the following reserves:
1. Contingency Reserve – No less than 25% of the adopted budget General Fund expenditures to provide for economic uncertainties, local emergencies or disasters, and other financial hardships or downturns in the local economy, including unforeseen operating or capital needs and cash flow requirements.
2. Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) Reserve Fund – To cover the projected cost of future retiree benefits, the City will maintain a reserve so that the combined amount of the reserve and funds held in an OPEB trust are no less than 80% of the total OPEB liability based on the most recent actuarial valuation.
3. Building Facility and Maintenance Fund – The City will make annual contributions to this fund from the General Fund of no less than $100,000 to provide for the future replacement of systems and equipment at City Hall, the Diamond Bar Center, and other City buildings and facilities. In addition, the City will transfer 40% of the General Fund year-end surplus after funding the other reserves described in this section.
4. Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement Fund – To provide funding for the timely replacement of vehicles and related equipment with an individual cost of $10,000 or more, the City will annually make a contribution from its General Fund to the Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement Fund equal to its estimated operating costs plus depreciation net of any interest earnings and proceeds from the sale of assets.
5. Technology Reserve Fund – The City will maintain a technology reserve fund to accumulate funds for the replacement of essential technology systems and equipment. The annual contribution from the General Fund will be no less than $100,000.
6. Park Development Fund – This fund provides for the development and enhancement of the City’s parks and facilities. The City will transfer 40% of the General Fund year-end surplus after funding the other reserves described in this section.
The aforementioned reserves with amounts are listed below in Table 3 along with other highlighted reserves.
See note 11 Classification of Fund Balance for more information. 13
Table 3
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
Changes in Key Reserves
Total key reserves, as shown in Table 3 above, decreased in marginally by $73,460 (or 0.7%) to a total of $41,293,349. The General Fund Unassigned Reserve increased $1.3 million due mainly to shifting reserve balances from the Capital Improvement Projects and the Contingency Reserve. The change in the General Fund reserves are discussed further on the next page. The Technology and General Plan Update Reserves decreased $652 thousand in aggregate due to ongoing projects, namely the upgrade of the City’s Land Management System and the development of the Downtown Specific Plan.
It is important to note that other funds listed here as key reserves (e.g. Park Development Fund, Building Maintenance & Replacement Fund) ultimately derive their resources from the General Fund, either from the allocation of year-end surpluses or annual contributions pursuant to the reserve policies summarized earlier, or through other allocations approved by City Council.
FUND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier the City of Diamond Bar uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. These are presented starting on page 22 of the financial statements.
Governmental funds - The focus of the City of Diamond Bar’s 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 financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a city’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. 2025 2024 Change

14
At June 30, 2025, the City of Diamond Bar’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $61,569,912, a decrease of $4.4 million in comparison with the prior year. Of this amount, $21,167,195 or 34.4%, constitutes unassigned fund balances which are available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of the fund balances are either restricted for particular purposes, committed to contingencies per City policy ($8,071,538), or assigned to a specific purpose. The balance sheet for governmental funds is presented on page 22 of the financial statements.
The General Fund, which is included as a governmental fund, is the main operating fund of the City. It is where most traditional services associated with local government, including public safety, recreation, development services, economic development, and public works. The services are funded primarily from unrestricted tax revenues, such as taxes and charges for services. At the end of the 2024/25 fiscal year, the General Fund total fund balance decreased by $254 thousand (including sub-funds) to $34.4 million.
The adverse factors leading to this decrease can be explained by a slight decrease in General Fund revenues of $522 thousand as well as transfers-in of $513 thousand, plus an increase in expenditures of $1.9 million. These were offset by a favorable decrease in transfers-out (used to fund capital projects, information systems infrastructure and reserve funding) in the amount of $2.7 million (see Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances on page 24 for more information). A budget-toactuals comparison for the General Fund is available within the Required Supplementary Information found on page 61.
As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both Unassigned Reserve balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance of $23.1 million represents 71% of total General Fund expenditures, including transfers-out, an increase from the prior year ratio of 65%, and the total fund balance of $34.4 million represents 105% of total General Fund expenditures, and increase from the prior year amount of 106%.
The Traffic Improvement Fund is used to account for funds which have been received from development projects and designated by the City Council for traffic mitigation projects. Total revenues for FY 2024/25 were $486 thousand and there were no expenditures. As a result, the ending fund balance for the Traffic Improvement Fund increased by $486 thousand.
The Capital Improvement Fund (CIP Fund) is used to account for major capital projects included in the City’s annual Capital Improvement Program. Historically, the City has used the CIP Fund as a centralized cost center for all capital projects, with resources transferred in from the General Fund and various special revenue funds to support project expenditures.
Beginning in FY 2024/25, the City revised this approach to simplify CIP accounting and improve transparency. Under the new structure, only capital projects funded by one-time grants and the General Fund are accounted for in the CIP Fund. Capital projects funded by other dedicated revenue sources are now recorded directly within their respective funds.
Total expenditures for FY 2024/25 were $12.8 million, an increase from the prior year amount of $8.2 million.
Total revenues and transfers-in were $11.4 million, an increase from the prior year amount of $8.2 million.
As a result, the ending fund balance for the Capital Improvement fund decreased by $1.4 million which will be offset in future years as grants are reimbursed.
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital assets - The City of Diamond Bar’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities as of June 30, 2025 amounts to $347,121,148 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, right of way, buildings and improvements, furniture and fixtures, vehicles and equipment, infrastructure and construction in progress. 15
Table 4
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR
Capital Assets (net of depreciation)
The City’s capital assets increased in value by $6.4 million during the fiscal year. This increase was mainly due to $4.2 million in new infrastructure assets, $1.3 million in new building improvements and $925 thousand in new land donated to the City (Stevens Field).
Construction in progress at the end of the year included projects in various stages of design or construction.
Virtually all of the $5.2 million of construction in progress relates to streets improvement projects, including both residential and arterial roadways.
See note 5 Capital Assets for more information.
Long-term debt – At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Diamond Bar’s total long-term debt totaled $7,062,252, which includes outstanding bonds payable and accrued compensated absences as shown in Table 5 below.

Outstanding Long-Term Debt
At June 30, 2025
In June 2021 the City issued the 2021 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds to refinance the 2002 Lease Revenue Bonds. The 2002 bonds were originally issued to finance the construction of a community/senior center (the Diamond Bar Center) and other public improvements. The refunding, which capitalizes on historically low interest rates, will result in a savings of $1,736,355 over the remaining life of the bonds. 2025 2024

In addition to the bonds, City of Diamond Bar employees have accrued leave time (sick and vacation) totaling $1,372,857 as of June 30, 2025. This liability is primarily paid out as time off or the use of sick time and to this extent does not result in an increase in costs.
See note 6 Long-Term Liabilities for more information on long-term debt.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET AND RATES
Compared to FY 2024/25, the Adopted FY 2025/26 Budget Operating Budget reflects a more challenging fiscal environment, characterized by a structural deficit and a weakening economic outlook. While the budget maintains funding for essential City programs and services, and includes limited investments in maintenance and capital improvements, the City must adopt a measured approach to long-term planning and financial commitments. Management remains cautious and conservative this budget cycle, recognizing ongoing pressures from escalating contract costs, rising labor, material and operating expenses, higher energy and fuel prices, and broader economic uncertainty portend a bumpy road ahead for the City, and possibly a wider economic slowdown for the State and broader economy.
Whereas the FY 2024/25 Adopted Budget contained a modest budgeted operating deficit of $145 thousand, primarily attributed to the use of one-time reserves for one-time costs, the Adopted FY 2025/26 Budget projects a General Fund surplus of $49 thousand. Notably, this surplus is largely dependent on a one-time 37% reduction in Transfers Out, highlighting a recurring structural imbalance that, if left unresolved, will result in continued structural deficits.
A structural deficit occurs when a municipality’s ongoing (recurring) revenues are insufficient to fund its ongoing expenditures under normal (status quo) economic conditions. Unlike one-time or cyclical shortfalls, structural deficits require deliberate policy actions, such as revenue enhancements, expenditure adjustments, or service delivery reforms, to eliminate the underlying gap.
In response, management has taken a proactive approach by updating the City’s ten-year financial forecast, implementing additional revenue initiatives (including comprehensive user-fee updates), and planning additional community budget workshops with the City Council to evaluate and implement corrective strategies. Importantly, the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget implements the various objectives and priorities of the City Council guided by the adopted FY 2024-2027 Strategic Plan.
Looking ahead, the Federal Reserve is anticipated to continue interest-rate reductions into 2026, which may help support consumer spending and economic growth. These conditions could stabilize the softening sales-tax revenues projected for FY 2025/26 and enhance returns on the City’s investment portfolio.
The proactive actions taken by management, combined with prudent fiscal policies and disciplined financial planning, position the City to strengthen its financial condition over the long term. As a result, the City continues to serve as a beacon of economic strength within the region. Management believes the accompanying financial statements reflect this commitment to sound stewardship and the continued well-being and prosperity of the Diamond Bar community.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA
Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization, used in governmental activities are not financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Differences between expected and actual experiences, assumption changes and net differences between projected and actual earnings, and contributions subsequent to the measurement date for the postretirement benefits (pension and OPEB) are recognized as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources on the Statement of Net Position.
Other long-term assets that are not available to pay for current period expenditures and, therefore, are either labeled unavailable or not reported in the funds.
Internal service funds provide services to other funds on a cost-reimbursement basis. The assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources of the internal service funds are included in governmental activities in the Statement of Activities.

Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds.
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA
Governmental funds report capital outlays are expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of these assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation/amortization expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation/amortization expense in the current period.
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales, tradeins, and donations) is to increase/(decrease) net position.
Bond and other debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Repayment of bond and other debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities.

CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Description of Reporting Entity
The City of Diamond Bar (the City) was incorporated April 18, 1989, as a "General Law” City governed by an elected five-member city council. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the City of Diamond Bar (the primary government) and its component units. The component units discussed below are included in the City's reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationship with the City. These entities are legally separate from each other. However, the City of Diamond Bar's elected officials have a continuing full or partial accountability for fiscal matters of the other entities. The financial reporting entity consists of: (1) the City (2) organizations for which the City is financially accountable; and, (3) organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes or set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the primary government. In a blended presentation, a component unit’s balances and transactions are reported in a manner similar to the balances and transactions of the City. Component units are presented on a blended basis when the component unit’s governing body is substantially the same as the City's or when the component unit provides services almost entirely to the City.
Blended Component Units
The Diamond Bar Public Financing Authority (the Authority) was formed on November 19, 2002. The purpose of the Authority is to issue debt to finance public improvements and other capital purchases for the City and Agency.
The activity of the Authority is reported in debt service and capital projects funds. Separate financial statements are not prepared for this blended component unit.
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of changes in net position) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The City has no business-type activities.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
• Government-wide financial statements.
• Fund financial statements.
• Notes to basic financial statements.
31
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The government-wide financial statements, proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all assets and liabilities (current and long-term) are reported. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the fiscal year, which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all the eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's internal service funds are charges to departments for services. Operating expenses for the proprietary funds include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the current financial resources measurement focus, generally only current assets and liabilities are reported in the governmental funds. Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term liabilities, claims and judgments, and compensated absences which are recognized as expenditures only when payment is due.
Property taxes, taxpayer-assessed taxes, such as sales taxes, gas taxes, and transient occupancy taxes, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period to the extent normally collected within the availability period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City.
The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, established for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations.
As a general rule, the effect of Interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the government’s proprietary funds functions and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating contributions and grants, and 3) capital contributions and grants, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenses are considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then from unrestricted resources. 32

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) D. Fund Classifications
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and is used to account for all revenues and expenditures of the City not legally restricted as to use. A broad range of municipal activities are provided through this fund including City Manager, City Attorney, Finance, City Clerk, Public Works, Building and Safety, and Parks and Recreation.
The Traffic Improvement Fund is used to account for funds which have been received from development projects and designated by the City Council for traffic mitigation projects.
The Capital Improvement Project Fund is used to account for improvements of construction of capital facilities.
The City's fund structure also includes the following fund types:
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes.
Capital Projects Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets.
Debt Service Fund are used to account for the receipt of revenues and payments of debt service related to outstanding bonds.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds have been established to finance and account for goods and services provided by one City department to other City departments or agencies. These activities include self-insurance, equipment, building maintenance and computer maintenance.
E. Investments
For financial reporting purposes, investments are stated at fair value.
Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation or sale of investments.
The City pools cash and investments of all funds, except for assets held by fiscal agents. Each fund’s share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as cash and investments. Investment income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds based on each fund's average cash and investment balances.
F. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or so near their maturity (an original maturity date of three months or less from the date of purchase) that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents also represent the proprietary funds' share in the cash and investment pool of the City. All cash and investments of the proprietary (internal service) funds are pooled with the City's pooled cash and investments and are therefore considered cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows.

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) G. Prepaid Costs
Prepaid costs are accounted for on the consumption method. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
H. Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Contributed capital assets are valued at acquisition value at the date of contribution. Capital asset purchases (other than infrastructure) in excess of $5,000 are capitalized if they have an expected useful life of three years or more. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
Capital assets include additions to public domain (infrastructure), certain improvements including roads, streets, sidewalks, medians and storm drains within the City.
Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method in the Government-wide and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements. Depreciation is charged as an expense against operations and accumulated depreciation is reported on the respective balance sheet.
The lives used for depreciation purposes of each capital asset class are:
Buildings and improvements 50 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Vehicles 5 years
Infrastructure 10 - 50 years
Equipment 3 years
Intangible Assets are capitalized at cost related to the enterprise resource management system. Amortization has been provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 10 years.
I. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. It is deferred outflows relating to the net pension obligation and net OPEB obligation reported in the government-wide statement of net position. These outflows are the results of contributions made after the measurement period, adjustments due to difference in proportions, and the difference between actual contributions made and the proportionate share of the risk pool’s total contributions, differences between expected and actual experiences, net differences between projected and actual experiences on plan investments, and change in assumptions. 34
CITY OF DIAMOND BAR, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and thus will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The government has three items which arises under the modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, one item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from two sources:
taxes and grant revenues. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. In addition, the government has items that qualify for reporting in this category which relate to deferred inflows relating to the net pension and net OPEB obligations reported in the government-wide statement of net position. These inflows are the result of the net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments, changes in employer’s proportion, difference between the employer’s contributions and the employer’s proportionate share of contributions, adjustments due to difference in proportions, differences between expected and actual experiences, and change in assumptions. Lastly, leases related items for the amount of the lease receivable plus any lease payments related to future periods, less any lease incentives paid to, or on behalf of, the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease term.
J. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.
K. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
L. Compensated Absences
Vacation and sick leave time begin to accumulate as of the first day of employment to a maximum of 360 hours and 480 hours, respectively. Employees who accumulate sick leave in excess of 200 hours may be compensated for the excess up to 80 hours annually at one half the employees current wage rate.
A liability is recorded for unused vacation and similar compensatory leave balances since the employees' entitlement to these balances are attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that virtually all of these balances will be liquidated by either paid time off or payments upon termination or retirement.
A liability is recorded for unused sick leave balances only to the extent that it’s probable that the unused balances will result in termination payments. This is estimated by including in the liability the unused balances of employees currently entitled to receive termination payments, as well as those who are expected to become eligible to receive termination benefits as a result of continuing their employment with the City.
If an employee retires, resigns, or terminates in good standing with a minimum of five years of service, the employee is entitled to receive 100% of unused sick leave at one half the employees current wage rate. Compensated absences will be reported in government funds only if they have matured, such as upon retirement. 35

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) M. Pension Plan
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position and additions to/deductions from the fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the CalPERS Financial Office. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. CalPERS audited financial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications.
Net Pension liability is expected to be paid in future years from future resources, typically liquidated from the General Fund.
N. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s plan (OPEB Plan), the assets of which are held by California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined by an independent actuary. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Net OPEB liability is expected to be paid in future years from future resources, typically liquidated from the General Fund.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation Date June 30, 2025
Measurement Date June 30, 2025
Measurement Period July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025
O. Recognition of Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB or Pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB or Pension expense systematically over time. Amounts are first recognized in OPEB or Pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB or Pension and are to be recognized in future OPEB or Pension expense.
The recognition period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss:
Net difference between projected and actual 5 years
earnings on plan investments
All other amounts Expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) P. Property Taxes
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1% of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool, and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas. Accordingly, the City accrues only those taxes which are received from the County within 60 days after year end.

April 10 - 2nd installment
Delinquent dates December 11 - 1st installment
April 11 - 2nd installment
Q. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net OPEB liability is expected to be paid in future years from future resources, typically liquidated from the General Fund.
R. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, government funds report the following fund balance classification:
• Nonspendable include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. • Restricted include amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
• Committed include amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest authority, City Council. The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution. • Assigned include amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The Director of Finance is authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose, which was established by the governing body in resolution. • Unassigned include the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive fund unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount.
However, in governmental funds other than the general fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.
An individual governmental fund could include nonspendable resources and amounts that are restricted or unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) or any combination of those classifications. Restricted amounts are to be considered spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available and committed, assigned, then unassigned amounts are considered to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications can be used.

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) New GASB Pronouncement Effective during Fiscal Year
The following Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncement was effective for and implemented for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025:
GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by implementing a unified recognition and measurement model that will result in a liability for compensated absences that more appropriately reflects when a government incurs an obligation. Establishing the unified model will result in consistent application to any type of compensated absence and will eliminate potential comparability issues between governments that offer different types of leave. This Statement will also result in a more robust estimate of the amount of compensated absences that a government will pay or settle, which will enhance the relevance and reliability of information about the liability for compensated absences.
Management has assessed the impact of this Statement on the City’s financial statements and determined that the implementation of this Statement resulted in a beginning balance restatement as discussed in Note 14.
GASB Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by providing users of financial statements with essential information that currently is not often provided. The disclosures will provide users with timely information regarding certain concentrations or constraints and related events that have occurred or have begun to occur that make a government vulnerable to a substantial impact. As a result, users will have better information with which to understand and anticipate certain risks to a government’s financial condition. The City’s financial statements were not impacted by the implementation of this Statement.

Local Roadway Safety Plan NonMajor Special Revenue Fund (a) (92) PLHA NonMajor Special Revenue Fund (120,920) (a)
Public Financing Authority NonMajor Debt Service Fund (14,616) (c) (a) Deficit due to timing differences between grant receipts and disbursements, and is expected to be eliminated through future grant revenues. (b) Deficit due to the timing differences between expenditures and the issuance of bonds to finance the project, and is expected to be eliminated once the bonds are issued. (c) Deficit due to insufficient transfers from the General Fund, which were budgeted to cover scheduled principal and interest payments on outstanding debt. The timing of these transfers did not align with the due dates of debt service obligations, causing expenditures to exceed available resources at year-end. Management anticipates that the deficit will be eliminated upon receipt of the scheduled transfers in the subsequent fiscal period. 38

Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
Investments of debt proceeds held by bond trustee are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City's investment policy. The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for investments held by bond trustee. The table also identifies certain provisions of these debt agreements that address interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City's investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City's investments by maturity:

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating, as reported by Moody’s, as of year-end for each investment type:
Fair Value Hierarchy
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.” The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2025:

Disclosures Relating to Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. The City does not accept 150% of the secured public totals. At June 30, 2025, the City deposits (bank balances) were insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 and the remaining balances were collateralized under California Law. The cash and investments held by Bond Trustee are uninsured and uncollateralized.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the California 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. LAIF is overseen by the Local Agency Investment Advisory Board, which consists of five members, in accordance with State statute. The State Treasurer’s Office audits the fund annually. The fair value of the position in the investment pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.

NOTE 6: LONG-TERM LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
Compensated Absences
The City's policies relating to compensated absences are described in Note 1. This liability, amounting to $1,372,857 at June 30, 2025, is expected to be paid in future years from future resources, typically liquidated from the General Fund.
NOTE 7: LIABILITY, PROPERTY AND WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROTECTION The City of Diamond Bar is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Authority). The Authority is composed of 126 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates through a nine-member Executive Committee.
A. Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. A retrospective adjustment is then conducted annually thereafter, for coverage years 2012-13 and prior. Coverage years 2013-14 and forward are not subject to routine annual retrospective adjustment. The total funding requirement for primary self-insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool.
Primary Liability Program
Claims are pooled separately between police and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $500,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence. Subsidence losses also have a $50 million per occurrence limit. The coverage structure is composed of a combination of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and excess insurance. Additional information concerning the coverage structure is available on the Authority’s website: https://cjpia.org/coverage/risk-sharing-pools/.
Primary Workers’ Compensation Program
Claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $75,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes Balance at

NOTE 8: PENSIONS
A. Rate Plan Description
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan) administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS.) The Plan consists of individual rate plans (benefit tiers) within a miscellaneous risk pool (all other.) Plan assets may be used to pay benefits for any employer rate plan of the miscellaneous pools.
Accordingly, rate plans miscellaneous pools are not separate plans under GASB Statement No. 68. Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the risk pools. The City sponsors two rate plans. Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and Local Government resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
B. Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to rate plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full-time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 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 Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit or the Lump Sum Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each rate plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The Rate Plans’ provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2025, are summarized as follows:
* Miscellaneous rate plan is closed to new entrants.
C. Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total rate plan contributions are determined through the CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is based on the estimated amount necessary to pay the Plan’s allocated share of the risk pool’s costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
The City’s contributions to the Plan for the year ended June 30, 2025, were $1,438,916.

D. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
As of June 30, 2025, the City reported a net pension liability for its proportionate share of the net pension liability of the Plan of $8,708,162 and is expected to be paid in future years from future resources, typically liquidated from the General Fund.
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability for the Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023, rolled forward to June 30, 2024, using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to Plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Rate Plan as of June 30, 2023 and 2024, was as follows:
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City recognized pension expense of $2,067,298. At June 30, 2025, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

$1,438,916 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30, 2026. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows or deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized as pension expense as follows:
E. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability For the measurement period ended June 30, 2024 (the measurement date), the total pension liability was determined by rolling forward the June 30, 2023 total pension liability. The June 30, 2024 total pension liability was based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The collective total pension liability for the June 30, 2024 measurement period was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023, with update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liability to June 30, 2024. The collective total pension liability was based on the following assumptions:
1 The mortality table was used developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The table includes 15 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale 80% of scale MP 2020. For more details on this table, please refer to the December 2021 experience study report (based on CalPERS demographic date from 2010 to 2019) that can be found on the CalPERS website.
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period from 2010 to 2019, including updates to salary increase, mortality and retirement rates. The Experience Study report can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications.
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for PERF C was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 8: PENSIONS (CONTINUED)
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.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns and forecasted information of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns.
The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The table below reflects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation.
G. Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the net pension liability/(asset) of the Plan as of the measurement date, calculated using the discount rate of 6.90 percent, as well as what the net pension liability/(asset) would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage-point lower (5.90 percent) or 1 percentage-point higher (7.90 percent) than the current rate:

The CERBT was established for public agencies to pre-fund other post-employment benefit obligations. Employers may choose amount three different investment strategies. The City of Diamond Bar has selected Strategy 3.
Compared to strategies 1 and 2, this portfolio consists of a higher percentage of bonds and other assets and a lesser percentage of equities. The following was the investment committee approved asset allocation targets as of June 30, 2024 (CalPERS ACFR for fiscal year 2024-2025 was not available as of the issuance of the City’s ACFR):
E. Net OPEB Liability
The City’s Net OPEB Liability was measured as of June 30, 2025 and the Total OPEB Liability used to calculate the Net OPEB Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2024 and is expected to be paid in future years from future resources, typically liquidated from the General Fund.
F. Actuarial assumptions
The total OPEB liability was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Level Percent of Pay Cost Method Actuarial Assumptions
Discount Rate 5.75%
Salary increases 2.75%
Inflation rate 2.50%
Investment rate of return 5.75%, net of OPEB plan investment expense Healthcare cost trend rate 4.00%
The mortality assumptions are based on the 2021 CalPERS Retiree Mortality for Miscellaneous and Schools Employees table created by CalPERS. CalPERS periodically studies mortality for participating agencies and establishes mortality tables that are modified versions of commonly used tables. This table incorporates mortality projection as deemed appropriate based on CalPERS analysis.
The retirement assumptions are based on the 2021 CalPERS 2.0%@55 Rates for Miscellaneous Employees table created by CalPERS. CalPERS periodically studies the experience for participating agencies and establishes tables that are appropriate for each pool.

G. Discount rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 5.75%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.

NOTE 12: TRES HERMANOS CONSERVATION AUTHORITY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
The Tres Hermanos Conservation Authority (Authority) is a joint powers agency created by a joint powers agreement between the cities of Chino Hills and Diamond Bar, California, dated January 19, 1999. It was created pursuant to Articles 1 through 4 of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California, in accordance with the provisions of the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985. The purpose of the Authority is to create a public entity to coordinate the overall development and conservation of a large undeveloped area of real property known as the Tres Hermanos Ranch, by preparing studies, plans, environmental reviews and similar information and by making recommendations to its members to take such actions including, but not limited to, acquisition and eminent domain as are necessary to implement its recommendations.
On February 6, 2019, the Authority amended and restated its agreement with the City of Industry pursuant to a Settlement Agreement. The City of Industry purchased the Tres Hermanos Ranch from the Successor Agency to Industry’s Urban Development Agency. The City of Chino Hills and Diamond Bar contributed 10% of the purchase of the land. With the new agreement each City will contribute approximately $70,000 each year for ranch expenses and maintenance costs. The Board shall consist of seven voting directors and one alternate from each City, actions taken require at least four approval. Three must come from the City of Industry, two from City of Chino Hills and two from City of Diamond Bar.
The Authority is a public entity separate and apart from each of the Cities. The funds of the Authority have not been included within the scope of the basic financial statements of the Cities because the Authority has its own governing board that has responsibility over the operations of the Authority.
