To the Citizens of the City of Fort Bragg, Honorable Mayor, and Members of the City Council:
As required by State and federal law, the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Fort Bragg (City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, is hereby published.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report based upon a comprehensive framework of internal controls that are established for this purpose.
Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
The City's basic financial statements have been audited by JJACPA, Inc., an accounting firm fully licensed and qualified to perform audits of local governments within the State of California. The financial statements included in this report were audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and government auditing standards. The independent auditors concluded that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified ("clean") opinion that the City's basic financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
The independent audit of the City's basic financial statements is part of a broader, federally mandated Single Audit designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the City's fair presentation of the financial statements but also on the City's internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the report of the independent auditors and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The MD&A was designed to complement this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
This report combines the financial statements of the City, ‐ the Fort Bragg Redevelopment Successor Agency (Successor Agency), and the Fort Bragg Municipal Improvement District No. 1 (MID) in accordance with principles defining the governmental reporting entity adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The financial operations of the Successor Agency and MID, though legally separate from the City, are closely related to the City. The City Council members serve as the governing board for the MID, which is presented as a blended component unit in the financial statements. Component units are legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially accountable. For a more detailed overview of the City's component units, see the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements on pages 4‐20 and 49‐92, respectively.

Profile of the Government
The City of Fort Bragg, incorporated in 1889, is located approximately 165 miles north of San Francisco and 188 miles west of Sacramento on the scenic coast of Mendocino County. The City occupies 2.7 square miles. Census 2021 places the City's population at 6,983. Although it is quite small, Fort Bragg is the largest City on the coast between San Francisco and Eureka. The largest employment categories in the City include health care, public education, local government, wholesale and retail trade, and tourism. The mild climate and picturesque coastline make Fort Bragg a popular tourist and recreational area.
Fort Bragg is a general law city under California state law and its rights, powers, privileges, authority, and functions are established through the State constitution. The City operates under the Council‐Manager form of government. The five members of the Fort Bragg City Council are elected by the voters to serve overlapping four‐year terms. The Mayor is elected by, and from, the City Council for a two‐year term. The City Council appoints the City Manager who serves at their discretion. The City Council is a policy‐setting body that is responsible for, among other things, enacting ordinances, adopting the budget, and appointing committees.
Several boards, commissions, and committees assist the City Council and Administration in carrying out various aspects and functions of city government. The members of the City Council also serve as the governing board for the Fort Bragg Redevelopment Successor Agency and the Fort Bragg Municipal Improvement District No. 1.
The City Manager is responsible for directing and supervising the administration of all departments of the City to ensure that laws, ordinances, orders, resolutions, contracts, leases, and franchises are enforced and executed and for appointing all City employees.
The City provides a wide range of services to its residents, including public safety services, construction and maintenance of streets and infrastructure, water service, wastewater service, community development, financial management, and administrative services. Special districts, agencies, and Joint Power Authorities (JPAs) under the jurisdiction of the City provide services such as wastewater treatment and fire protection throughout the City. Other entities not under the City's jurisdiction that provide services to the City's population include the school district, hospital district, recreation district, harbor district, and other special districts.
The annual budget provides a comprehensive statement of the City's organization, operations and resources and it expresses City Council and Municipal Improvement District Board policies and priorities in all areas of the City's operations. The budget process is the vehicle through which the City establishes goals and objectives and prioritizes desired programs or services which can be financed by the City's projected revenue for the budget year. The budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g., public safety), and department (e.g., police). It is the means through which policy decisions are made, effected, controlled and monitored. The City Manager is responsible for submitting and recommending an operating budget and a capital improvements budget for City Council consideration and adoption. Throughout the year, the budget serves as a financial management tool and an operational plan for the delivery of City services and capital projects.
In addition to the budget planning process, the City maintains budgetary controls. The City's objective in maintaining budgetary control is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within funds as deemed necessary in order to meet the City's needs subject to policy defined in the Fiscal Policies of the budget. The City Council may amend the budget by resolution during the fiscal year.
The City maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary control.
Purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for expenditure of money are secured in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation. Total expenditures of each fund may not exceed fund ix
appropriations and total expenditures for each department may not exceed departmental appropriations.
Encumbrances outstanding at year‐end are reported as committed fund balance. Unencumbered amounts lapse at year‐end and may be appropriated as part of the following year's budget.
Spending Limitation
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, also known as the Gann spending limit, restricts the amount of "proceeds of taxes" California governments may spend. As of June 30, 2022, the City was $4.9 million or 43% under the total Article XIHB (Gann) spending limitation. The City was not impacted by the spending limitation in FY 2021/22.
Current Economic Conditions and Outlook
Fort Bragg's economy relies heavily on tourism. Like the overall City's economy, the City of Fort Bragg is also heavily dependent on tourism for its revenues. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), also known as the bed tax, and sales tax are the two largest sources of revenue for the City's General Fund and, in FY 2021/22, together makeup 55% of the City's General Fund revenue. Prior to the pandemic in FY 2018/19, TOT and sales tax accounted for 46% of the General Fund revenue.
Like most jurisdictions across our nation, the City of Fort Bragg's tourism economy was essentially shut down in the early months of the pandemic. The City's TOT revenue for the last quarter of the prior fiscal year, from April through June, was down 66% compared to the FY 2018/19. However, as the State and County health orders were eased to allow nonessential travel in the summer of 2021, Fort Bragg experienced a rebound in tourism.
Fort Bragg is within driving distance of San Francisco and Sacramento, so shorter trips by car appear to be preferred getaway during the pandemic.
In FY 21/22, General Fund Tax Revenues continued the strong trends from the prior year beating last year's numbers. Transient Occupancy Tax recorded a 3.5% increase, and the City's General Fund Bradley Burns sales tax for the fiscal year was up 9% over the prior year. In the first quarter of FY 2022/23. TOT revenue receipts declined by 10% compared to the prior quarter. Sales tax revenues for the first quarter of FY 2022/23 were also down by 2%.

As of writing this letter, inflation and the likelihood of a recession make the outlook for Fort Bragg challenging to predict. Like the rest of the country, supply chain issues, fuel price increases, staffing shortages, and increased housing costs continue to challenge the local economy. Despite signs that inflation has started to recede, economists still expect higher interest rates to push the U.S. economy into a recession in 2023, according to the Wall Street Journal's latest quarterly survey.
The Federal Reserve had initially hoped it could bring down inflation with only a slowing in economic growth rather than an outright contraction, an outcome dubbed a "soft landing." But three‐quarters of respondents said the Fed wouldn't achieve a soft landing this year. While economists don't think a recession can be avoided, they expect it to be relatively shallow and short‐lived, in line with recent surveys. On average, they expect the gross domestic product to expand at a 0.1% annual rate in the first quarter of 2023 and contract 0.4% in the second. They see no growth for the third quarter and a 0.6% growth rate for the fourth. Economists expect GDP to stagnate this year, posting growth of just 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. In the WSJ survey in October, economists forecast 0.4% GDP growth in 2023.
As measured by the year‐over‐year change in the
consumer‐price index, inflation has eased from 9.1% last June to 6.5% in December, and economists expect it to fall to 3.1% by the end of 2023, a lower endpoint than the 3.3% they expected in the last survey, in October. They see it ending in 2024 at 2.4%.
The City continues to look at opportunities to diversify its economy. Initiatives, which began in FY 2021/22 and will continue into FY 2022/23, including economic development incentives for small businesses in the City's Central Business District (CBD), many of which were considered nonessential and, as a result, were harder hit by the pandemic shutdowns. The incentives include water and sewer capacity fee waivers for restaurants and food service, façade improvement grants, downtown beautification programs, positive code enforcement outreach, and programs and events to encourage locals and tourists to visit the CBD.
The Blue Economy Regional Coalition is the focus of the City's most abundant natural resource – the ocean and coastline. The initiative is to create new industries that take advantage of the ocean, the local Noyo Harbor, Noyo Center for Marine Science, Mendocino College education opportunities, the long‐standing fishing industries, and ocean resiliency. Protecting the coastline and ocean also protects the primary draw for the City's tourism industry.
The pandemic highlighted the importance of affordable and reliable broadband to our community and other rural communities nationwide. Distance learning, working from home, and new start‐up industries all struggled because of the lack of sufficient internet access. Fort Bragg's limited population and geographic isolation create little incentive for private sector investment in broadband connectivity. Completion of the Broadband Utility Feasibility study provides a viable path forward for a municipal‐owned utility to offer affordable connectivity to citizens and businesses. The City received $1.75 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds in FY 21/22 xi
and has set aside those funds for the Municipal Broadband project. The City is also seeking additional funding from other grants and opportunities as part of the federal and government's emphasis on infrastructure and broadband.
Until March 2021, the City had experienced five years of strong employment trends and low unemployment rates. Due to the Pandemic, unemployment peaked in April 2021 at 14% but stabilized through FY 2020/21. As of November 2022, the unemployment rate for Fort Bragg had dropped to 3.3%, and like many areas, Fort Bragg struggles to maintain workforce staffing to operate businesses and other organizations in our region. The unemployment rate for California was 3.7% as of December 2022.
The number of homes sold in the Fort Bragg 95437 zip code declined by 7% in FY 2021/22, and median home prices increased by 10% for the year‐end of June 30, 2022. This appears to be part of a national trend. The pandemic forced many workers to work from home, and employers have increasingly allowed this to become the new norm. Locally, many sales have been made to individuals and families who have moved out of urban areas.
xii
The median home price in June of 2022 in the
95437 zip code was $585,000. Under California's
Proposition 13, approved by voters in 1978,
assessed property values are only increased
when there is new ownership or new
construction. Proposition 8, approved after Prop
13 in 1978, allows for property values to be
adjusted downward if an owner suffers from a
decline in value. Retroactive and delayed
processing of Prop 8 adjustments reduce the
impact of increased real estate values in
Mendocino County. The City's property revenue increase remained flat in FY 2021/21 but is expected to grow in future years as home values are adjusted for the recent increase in price and number of sales.
The growth in residential home sales and prices continues to challenge the affordability of Fort Bragg to working families and individuals. Like much of California, the scarcity and cost of residential housing makes it difficult and, in some cases, impossible for many families to have the opportunity of home ownership. The shortage of affordable workforce housing goes further in limiting local employers' ability to hire and retain qualified staff.
Every employer listed as principal employer on page 159 of the statistics section, which includes the hospital, medical clinics, and school district, has publicly voiced the difficulties associated with lack of housing in maintaining qualified staffing levels.
To increase workforce housing in our community, the City has incubated and is staffing a Community Land Trust (CLT). A CLT is a system in which the underlying land is owned by a mission‐driven entity, usually a nonprofit, where the buildings on the land are owned or leased by residents. CLTs aim to promote affordable housing and contain legal provisions governing ownership and transfer to keep units affordable in perpetuity.
Homeownership provides the opportunity for working families and individuals to build wealth and create housing security.
Long‐term Financial Planning
A review of the City's Fiscal Policies, including Fund Balance & Reserve Policies, was conducted as part of the FY 2022/23 budget process. The City Council continued the commitment to the reserve levels established in prior annual budget reviews. The following General Fund reserves comprise committed fund balance; at the Fiscal year‐end 2021/22, these reserves total $5,091,306.
General Fund Operating Reserve: The City will maintain an unrestricted fund balance of at least 15% to 20% of the annual operating expenditures in the General Fund as an "Operating Reserve" to ensure the General Fund's liquidity and adequate cash flow throughout the year. This reserve is necessary to accommodate fluctuations in the timing of expenditures and the receipt of revenues.
With Council authorization, the reserve is a committed fund balance and may be used for unforeseen operating or capital needs. At Fiscal Year‐end 2021/22, the reserve remains funded at $1,989,419.
Litigation Reserve: The City will maintain a $200,000 Litigation Reserve to cover unforeseen legal expenses, including unbudgeted settlement costs that are not covered by the City's insurance pool.
At Fiscal Year‐end 2021/22, the reserve balance is $200,000. $‐

xiii
Recession Reserve: The General Fund will maintain a Recession Reserve to stabilize the delivery of City services during periods of severe operational budget deficits and mitigate the effects of major unforeseen changes in revenues and/or expenditures as typically experienced during times of recession. The fund is established at an amount equivalent to 5% of the City's annual operating budget. City Council approval is required before expending any portion of this committed fund balance. The reserve was established on July 1, 2019, at $489,929, and at Fiscal Year‐end 2021/21, the reserve balance remains at $489,929.
For the City, as with governmental jurisdictions throughout the nation, continuing fiscal challenges have required a redoubling of efforts to address current and future budget shortfalls while working to prioritize and maintain the level of services that the residents of Fort Bragg have come to expect. Traditional funding sources for parks, public safety, and community development are shrinking or have disappeared. The immediate challenges continue to be the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency by the State and major cuts in revenues distributed through federal and State grant programs. Pension costs will continue to challenge the City in the coming years as well.
The City has worked hard to address its fiscal challenges and, overall, its efforts have been successful. In FY 2014/15 the City was in position to offer modest salary increases to all of its employee groups for the first time since the financial downturn of 2008. Labor agreements for FY 2019/20 thru FY 2022/22 continued the moderate cost of living adjustments begun earlier. The Fort Bragg City Council has implemented two policies aimed at the organization's financial challenges. Both policies have been described previously and include the newly established "Recession Reserve" and the "Pension funding Policy".
With hard work, some difficult decisions and fiscal discipline the City Manager and City Council succeeded in passing a balanced FY 2018/19 budget as well as the FY 2019/20 budget. These were the first balanced budgets in many years. The tradeoffs in balancing the budget include, a decrease in services (eliminated and downgraded positions). The Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) trust fund on the other hand has been diligently pre‐ funded for several years and even with minimum payments the City appears poised to start drawing from the fund in order to offset increasing costs in the years to come.
Beginning with the FY 2017/18 budget the City's Finance department has prepared a five year budget forecast for the General Fund. The five year forecast is updated each year prior to the mid‐year budget review meeting.
Beginning with the FY 2019/20 budget the five year forecast has been incorporated into the main budget document. The five year forecast indicates that recent improvements in tax revenues will provide balanced budgets in the midterm range. However, in the longer term, the City's General Fund is projected to operate at a deficit starting in FY 2025/26.
The City's General Fund operated at a record surplus for FY 2020/21 and the fund balance improved by nearly $1.5 million. The surplus was the result of deep budget cuts early in the pandemic which reduced staff and services and the previously discussed increases in TOT and sales tax revenue as tourism rebounded. In May, 2021, the City laid off four full‐time employees, froze two positions in the Police Department and furloughed another twelve employees 50% to 75% of their regular hours. The furloughed staff was returned to full‐time status in August 2021 but several of the laid‐off positions remain vacant. In addition, the City did not replace two positions (Finance Director and Assistant City Engineer) that became open in late June. As the reliance and demand for City services continue to grow, one of the challenges the City faces is the same as many other employers – recruiting and retaining qualified staff.
xiv
In FY 21/22, General Fund Tax Revenues continued their strong performance from the prior year beating last year's numbers. The accumulated fund balance for the General Fund is $5,091,306. The City adopted a balanced General Fund budget for FY 2022/23 and projected a small surplus of $198k.
While the surplus was small, the budget included $150k to pay down pension obligations and relatively modest revenue projections. As discussed earlier in this letter, both TOT and Sales Tax revenues are outpacing FY 2021/22, which set records for both revenue sources.
A major project for FY 2021/22 was developing and adopting a Pension Funding Policy. Like most cities in California, Fort Bragg continues to experience double‐digit increases in its unfunded liability payments with little or no reduction in the overall unfunded liability. As reported on page 80, the City's net pension liability as of June 30, 2022, is at $10.7 million. On November 10, 2022, the City issued $11.4 million in taxable Lease Revenue Bonds. Proceeds in the amount of $7.5 million were used to reduce the City's unfunded pension liability, with an additional $3.5 million set aside for costs associated with the acquisition of the southern portion of the former Timber Mill property. The $3.5 million funds were subsequently returned in FY 2022/23. The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) recognized a record 21.3% investment return for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. The record CalPERS investment return and the $7.5 million liability payment place the City in a better position to manage pension obligations. On June 30, 2022, CALPERS realized a ‐7.5% return which will add to the Unfunded Liability. The City Council approved the set‐up of a Section‐ 115 Trust in FY 22/23 to absorb down years losses by CALPERS.
Impact of Fiscal Policies on Financial Statements
The City of Fort Bragg's fiscal policies are established to ensure that the finances of the City and the Municipal Improvement District No. 1 (collectively referred to as "the City") are managed in a manner that will:
Maintain a financially viable local government that provides adequate levels of municipal services to its citizens.
Provide for financial flexibility in order to adapt to local and regional economic changes. Preserve and enhance the sound fiscal condition of the City.
The City's policies are maintained in the annual budget document and are reviewed and approved each year by the City Council. The policies cover: budgeting, budgetary controls, revenues, expenditures, utility rates, capital budgeting, debt management, inter‐fund loans, fund balance and reserves, investments, accounting auditing and financial reporting, asset forfeiture expenditures, employment compensation, cost allocations, and debt service. The City's fiscal policies are extensive and followed diligently so that it can be safely said that all of the policies have significantly impacted the current period's financial statements. In some years certain fiscal policies may stand out as having a more significant impact on the financial statements; in other years (such as the current reporting period) they may have a relatively equal impact.
Certificate of Achievement
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 for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. This was the tenth year in a row that the City of Fort Bragg has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. xv
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current Annual Comprehensive Financial Report meets the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and will be submitted to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Acknowledgments
The preparation of this Annual Comprehensive Financial Report could not have been accomplished on a timely basis without the support and cooperation of many City of Fort Bragg staff members. Special recognition is given to the Finance Department staff. Their efforts made it possible to continue to provide quality financial information for the citizens, the City Council, and other users on a timely basis.
I would also like to thank the Mayor and members of the City Council for their attentiveness and support in planning and conducting the City's financial operations in a responsible and responsive manner.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, the aggregate remaining fund information and the budgetary comparison information of the City, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The City’s 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.
2 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, 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 on pages 4–20, the Schedule of Changes in the Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios on page 94, the Net OPEB Liability Schedule of Contributions on page 95, the City’s Schedules of Contributions, Pensions on pages 96-97, and the Schedules of the City’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability on pages 98-99, 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. 3 Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements 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. Such 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 combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements 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 financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the 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 31, 2023, 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. ]]TVcT? \ÇvA

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
4 This section provides a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Fort Bragg (City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. It should be read in conjunction with the accompanying transmittal letter and basic financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The City's Net Position increased by $4 million (assets exceeded liabilities) to $103 million as of June 30, 2022.
The Net position for governmental activities ended the year at $41.4 million, while the net position for business activities was $61.7 million. Of the $41.4 million in total governmental net position, a negative $4 million was characterized as an unrestricted net position. In FY 2016, GASB 68 required all cities to recognize their pension liability as a deficit in unrestricted net position on their financial statements.
The unrestricted position is now $5.3 million due to restructuring the City’s UAL with CALPERS. General Fund revenues continued their strong performance from a year ago. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) recorded its best year to date at $3.4 million and Sales tax at $3.2 million. General Fund expenditures were $10.3 million, $283k below budget estimates. The positive variance resulted from cost savings, particularly personnel costs, insurance, and retiree medical costs. The City's General Fund recorded a surplus for FY 2021/22 and the fund balance improved by $910,288. The City's governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $8.6 million. Committed balances include an Operating Reserve of $1.9 million, a Recession Reserve of $489,929, a Litigation Reserve of $200,000, and $3.5 million of restricted funds. The unassigned fund balance increased to $2.4 million. The Water enterprise Net Position increased by $3 million (16%), the Wastewater enterprise Net Position decreased by $385k, and the C.V. Starr Center Net Position also decreased by $323k. The most significant draw on C.V. Starr Center Net Position is the non‐cash item depreciation. Total liabilities increased by $5.3 million to $28.7 million during the fiscal year. Deferred inflows and outflows related to the City's unfunded accrued pension liabilities (UAL) with CalPERS changed from the prior year due to gains and losses recognized by CalPERS, including contributions made by the City.

5 OVERVIEW OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT, Continued
The Basic Financial Statements
The Basic Financial Statements are comprised of the Government‐wide Financial Statements and the Fund Financial Statements; these two sets of financial statements provide two different views of the City’s financial activities and financial position.
Government‐wide Financial Statements
The Government‐wide Financial Statements provide a broad overview of the City’s activities as a whole and comprise the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. The Statement of Net Position provides information about the financial position of the City as a whole, including all of its capital assets and long‐term liabilities on the full accrual basis, similar to that used by corporations. The Statement of Activities provides information about all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, also on the full accrual basis, with the emphasis on measuring net revenues or expenses of each the City’s programs. The Statement of Activities explains in detail the change in Net Position for the year.
All of the City’s activities are grouped into Governmental Activities and Business‐type activities, as explained below. All the amounts in the Statement of Net position and the Statement of Activities are separated into Governmental Activities and Business‐type Activities in order to provide a summary of these two activities of the City as a whole.
♦ Governmental activities – All of the City’s basic services are considered to be governmental activities, including general government, community development, public safety, public works and administration.
These services are supported by general City revenues such as taxes and by specific program revenues such as developer fees.
♦ Business‐type activities – All the City’s enterprise activities are reported here, including Water, Wastewater (Sewer), and the C.V. Starr Community Center. Unlike governmental services, these services are supported by charges paid by users based on the amount of the service they use.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance‐related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City may be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary 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 Government‐ wide Financial Statements, Governmental Fund Financial Statements focus on near‐term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near‐term financing requirements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
6 OVERVIEW OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT, Continued
Because the focus of the Governmental Fund Financial Statements 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 Statement. By doing so, readers may better understand the long‐term impact of the government’s near‐term financial decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The Governmental Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds, called major funds. The concept of major funds, and the determination of which are major funds, was established by GASB Statement No. 34 and replaces the concept of combining like funds and presenting them as one total. Instead, each major fund is presented individually, with all non‐major funds summarized and presented only in a single column.
Subordinate schedules present the detail of these non‐major funds. Major funds present the major activities of the City for the year, and may change from year to year as a result of changes in the pattern of the City’s activities.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City’s major funds are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS:
General Fund
CDBG Program Income Special Revenue
Housing Successor Agency Special Revenue
Street Sales Tax Special Revenue
Street Resurfacing Capital Projects
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City adopted annual appropriated budgets for all funds.
Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided for the general fund and major governmental funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget and may be found on beginning on page 36.
Proprietary funds. The City maintains enterprise‐type and Internal Service proprietary funds. enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business‐type activities in the Government‐wide Financial Statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for Water, Wastewater, and C.V. Starr Center activities.
Internal service funds are an accounting methodology used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its building maintenance, information technology assets, and its fleet of vehicles. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the Government‐wide Financial Statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for all of these operations.

Summary of Net Position
As of June 30, 2022, the City's net position was $103.2 million, an increase of $4 million. Year over year, assets increased by $7.5 million, and liabilities increased by $5.2 million with the issuance of 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds of $11.4 million. The overall change in net position is largely due to the increase in investment in capital assets for both Governmental and business‐type activities, which increased by $1.6 million. The revenue and expense factors contributing to the year‐over‐year performance increase are discussed in further detail in this report's ensuing sections.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
9 GOVERNMENT‐WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, continued
A large portion (94%) of the City of Fort Bragg's net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, easements, buildings, machinery, and infrastructure), less related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide various services to its citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. The balance in net investment in capital assets increased in FY 2021/22 by $1.5 million to a total of $95.5 million. The increase is attributed to infrastructure improvements for the Streets Project and Maple Street completion offset by retiring capital assets, particularly in the business type, by $331k. Citywide total assets placed in Service equaled $3.8 million, of which $2.5 million was transferred from Construction in Progress to Infrastructure for the Streets Rehabilitation and Maple Street Project.
Depreciation was $3.2 million.
The restricted net position of $6 million primarily comprises revenues held for expenditure for specified purposes (special revenue) and amounts held for debt service. Examples of special revenues are street sales tax and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) program income. In FY 21/22, $3.5 million of the remaining 2021 Lease Revenue Proceeds earmarked for property purchase contributed to the increased restricted net position.
The Unrestricted net position increased $4.8 million over the previous year and now stands at $18.2 million.
Governmental activities saw an increase of $9.4 million in unrestricted net position from the Debt issuance‐ $3.5 million, and business‐type activities also saw increases of $707,986. The negative unrestricted position of $4.1 million for governmental activities in FY 20/21 includes cash and cash equivalents. It may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens, creditors and City imposed designations (reserves, litigations, contingencies, and revenue programs). It is negative primarily due to the City's long‐term obligations related to net pension liabilities. The City's working capital to meet current operating and capital concerns is $29.7 million.
Deferred outflows are defined as a government's net position consumption that applies to a future reporting period. Although not entirely the same, deferred outflows are similar in nature to assets. The City currently has three deferred outflows: deferred losses on debt refunding, a deferred outflow related to reporting the City's OPEB liability, and a deferred outflow on reporting the City's pension plan liability. The City's deferred outflows increased by $7.4 million on a year‐over‐year basis from the issuance of debt to restructure the City’s Unfunded Liability with CALPERS.
Deferred inflows are defined as an acquisition of a net position by a government applicable to a future reporting period. Although not entirely the same, deferred inflows are similar in nature to liabilities. The City currently has two deferred inflows: a deferred inflow related to reporting the City's OPEB liability and a deferred inflow pertaining to reporting the City's pension plan liability. The City's deferred inflows decreased by $10.8 million.

Changes in Net Position
The City's expenses for FY 21/22 totaled $23.2 million, increasing $2.6 million from FY 20/21. Much of this increase was related to restoring staff and other programs (return of furloughed employees), which were cut at the end of FY 19/20.
Overall, governmental expenses totaled nearly $14.4 million, or 71 percent of total costs. Public safety costs represented most governmental costs, Community Development related to Grants, followed by public works and general government. Business‐type activities incurred $8.8 million during the fiscal year, 29 percent of all City expenses.

Revenues
The City's total revenues for Governmental and Business‐type Activities were $27.2 million for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2022, representing a 4 percent increase over the previous fiscal year. Governmental Activities increased by $342,428, and Business‐type Activities decreased by $724,136 or 8 percent. Significant revenues for the City for FY 2021/22 were derived from charges for services (42%), grants and contributions (14%), sales and use Tax (17%), transient occupancy tax (12%), and property tax (1%).
Following is a discussion of variances in key revenues for the FY 2021/22:
1. Charges for Service's overall revenue increased by 9 percent compared to the previous fiscal year, primarily due to governmental activities. Services include mostly salary, benefit, overhead charges to the Business‐type Activities, inter‐fund reimbursements, and charges to various grants for staff time and administrative costs reimbursements.
Cost allocation plan revenues increased year over year, attributed to the increase in reimbursements from the enterprise funds. During the fiscal year, there was significant work logged for Water Conservation in response to the drought, infrastructure improvements, and operating needs for the enterprise fund. Other charges for services, including Police Department fingerprinting, developer deposit (DDA) reimbursements, code enforcement, and building permits, also recorded declines from the prior year. Charges for services for Business‐type activities are almost entirely user charges. This category was down 1 percent or $78,293, primarily due to the water emergency in FY 21/22 caused by the reduced flows of the City's water sources and a lack of rainfall. Additionally, the Enterprise Funds waived the last round of scheduled approved rate increases in FY 20/21, which would have increased Water rates by 5 percent and Wastewater rates by 3 percent.

2. Grants and Contributions annual receipts for Operating Grants decreased by $758,026 (13%) due to the completion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade funded by the US Department of Agriculture grant ($1.3M), the HEAP Grant for the DANCO Housing project, $3 million. In FY 21/22, Grants included the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), which consist of the Code enforcement program, Business Assistant Loan Program, Fire Station Design Rehab, Parents & Friends Facility, Utility Business Assistance Loans, and general administration. Often operating grants fluctuate yearly depending on when program activities are implemented. Additionally, the City received the 2nd trench of America Rescue Plan Act funds (ARPA), $872,081. These funds have been earmarked for Broadband.
3. Sales and Use Tax include the City's general sales tax, a special half‐cent sales tax for the C.V Starr Center, and a special half‐cent sales tax for street repairs. Despite the COVID Pandemic, sales tax revenues recorded solid results and were up $539k or 15 percent in FY 20/21. Construction, grocery stores, and internet sales categories all recorded the best quarters at the onset of the Pandemic. In FY 21/22, Sales tax continued the strong performance and recorded a $411,314 (9%) increase. Inflation remained in the economy at the end of the quarter; according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index was 7.9%. High inflation rates didn’t affect consumer spending habits, but we could see this revenue category decline as the economy contracts in FY 22/23. Sales and use taxes for Business‐type Activities are received for the C.V. Starr Center special sales tax ($1.2 million), up 10 percent or $111,830 from the previous fiscal year. The Tax subsidizes the operations and capital needs of the Center.
4. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a local tax (12 percent) applied to the cost of the hotel or other lodging stays of less than 30 days. This revenue category was the most impacted due to the COVID pandemic in the last quarter of FY 19/20, down $436k or 17 percent compared to the prior year resulting in a General Fund deficit. In FY 20/21, TOT revenues rebounded and recorded its best year at $3.3 million. In FY 21/22, this revenue category continued its strong performance, beating last year’s record by $123,062 (3%). International and domestic travel restrictions contributed to the strong results, with travel being more local. Average Nightly Rates have also increased by 10%, with Occupancy Rates rising by 2%. Furthermore, Visit Fort Bragg's marketing efforts have contributed to the success of this revenue category.
5. Property Tax increased by 4% in FY 2021/22 and is expected to grow at similar modest increases of 2‐3% per year due to the rise in home‐for‐sale prices. The median home price in June of 2022 in the 95437 zip code was $419,000, an increase of 5% over June 2021. Property taxes received are accounted for in the General Fund, $1.2 million; C.V Starr Center, $269k; and the Fire Equipment Fund, $57k.

Expenses
The City's Governmental and Business‐type Activity expenses for FY 2021/22 totaled $23.2 million, representing an 11 percent increase compared to the previous fiscal year. Governmental Activity expenses were $14.6 million or 62 percent of total costs, while Business‐type Activities were $8.7 million or 38 percent of total expenses. Public safety costs represented 21 percent of citywide costs, followed by General Government at 19 percent, Wastewater at 17 percent, and Public Works at 15 percent.
Following is a discussion of significant variances in key expense categories for the fiscal year 2021/2022:
1. Public Safety costs increased by $517k or 11 percent from the previous fiscal year. Costs returned to pre‐ pandemic levels. A shortage of police officers locally and nationally has driven wages up yearly for the last several years. The Fort Bragg City Code Chapter 2.68 provides for an annual salary survey of Mendocino County law enforcement positions. It establishes that Fort Bragg's salaries will, at a minimum, be set at the average of the other local entities. As of January 1, 2021, Police Officer wages increased by 4.9% and 1% on January 1, 2022, in addition to a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) of 3%. Fort Bragg Dispatch services provided by the City of Ukiah increased by 5%. The Department was awarded a Social Service Liason Grant by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) of $222k through March 2023.
2. Public Works year‐over‐year expenses increased by $1.1 million or 45 percent. The increase is due to an increase in Depreciation costs of $609k, Cost Allocation by $72k, and increases in personnel costs.

3. General Government expenses increased by $934k or 26 percent. The increase is attributed to the net increase in pension costs of $363k and the increase in personnel costs. Additionally, in FY 2019/20, the City started making the minimum prepayment towards the OPEB trust. This caused a $210k positive year‐over‐ year variance. The OPEB trust fund has been diligently pre‐funded for years, and even with the recent change in minimum payments, the City can start drawing from the fund to offset increasing costs in the coming years.
4. Community Development expenses decreased by $3.2 million from the prior year due to the decrease in Grants activity, $3.04 million HEAP Grant, SB‐2 Grants $46k, and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG).

Expenses, Continued
Following is a discussion of significant variances in key business‐type expense categories for the FY 2021/22:
1. Wastewater Enterprise expenses increased by $899k or 29 percent. Contractual expenditures increased by $196k due to increased Bio‐solids removal costs. Administration costs account for the allocation of indirect and direct costs charged to the enterprise per the Cost Allocation Cost True‐up.
In FY 21/22, there was an increased amount of staff time spent on Wastewater tasks.
2. C.V. Starr Center expenses increased by $851k or 74 percent. The CV Starr center was closed in mid‐ March 2021 in compliance with Shelter‐In‐Place orders in response to COVID. The Center remained closed through the fourth quarter of FY 2021/22. As a result, personnel and other operating costs increased compared to the previous year when they were closed. Utilities, mainly propane, increased by $244k to $322k, up 72 percent from pre‐covid levels.
3. Water Enterprise expenses increased by 989k or 58 percent, with increases in personnel costs and administration allocation. This was the first year where salaries and benefits were accounted for in the water enterprise fund. Historically, personnel costs were recorded in the Wastewater Enterprise and allocated back to the water enterprise. This change in methodology would allow for better budgeting of the enterprise's operating costs. Additionally, the Arreage Grant required the City to waive late fees associated with customer accounts. This amounted to $30k. Professional Services also recorded increases of $36k.

FUND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The City of Fort Bragg uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance‐related legal requirements. The fund financial statements focus on individual parts of the City government, reporting the City's operations in more detail than the government‐wide financial statements.
Governmental funds
The City's governmental funds provide information on near‐term inflows, outflows, and balances of spending resources. At the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, the City's governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $12.8 million, an increase of $5.1 million or 66 percent over the previous year due to the 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds proceeds and increases in Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy revenues compared to the prior year.
General Fund
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. Overall, the general fund balance increased by $4.4 million to $8.5 million at the end of FY 2021/21. The general fund unassigned balance totaled $2.4 million— this increase of $910k resulted from a realized surplus budget. The committed fund balance totals $2.7 million. It includes the operating reserve of $1.9 million, $200k in the litigation reserve, and $490k in the Recession Reserve established this fiscal year.
Special Sales Tax – Streets
The Special Sales Tax for the street repairs fund decreased by $469k to $2 million in FY 2021/22. The Maple Street $1.8 million and 2020 Street Rehabilitation was funded in the prior year. In FY 2022/23, the 2022 Street Rehabilitation of $1.87 million will be funded and undertaken in FY 2022/23.

18 FUND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, Continued
Street Resurfacing Capital Projects
The Street Resurfacing Capital Projects fund is at zero. Funding is transferred from the Special Sales Tax for street repairs fund to the Street Resurfacing Capital Projects as projects are undertaken.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise funds increased the City's net position by $3 million (5%). The City has three business‐type activities: Water, Wastewater, and the C.V. Starr Center.
The Water enterprise net position increased $3 million or 22 percent to $16.6 million; the Wastewater enterprise net position decreased by $358k or 1 percent to $24 million, and the C.V. Starr Center enterprise net position also recorded an increase of $332k or 1 percent to $20.7 million.
The Water enterprise capitalized costs of $1.98 million largely due to the Water Meter Replacement Project of a little over $2 million and design costs for the Water Treatment Plant $188k, Raw Water Line Replacement $176k, and the Pudding Creek Water Main $67k. These costs are Construction in Progress and will be fully capitalized once completed. Long‐term liabilities decreased by $393k due to regularly scheduled debt payments. Lastly, Water's operating revenues exceeded expenses by $3 million, with $2 million attributed to Capital Grants received for the Water Meter Replacement Project, contributing to the fund's net position. The utility generates sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses, maintain an operating reserve, and fund a capital reserve. Currently, the rate plan is designed to accumulate $1 million per year in a capital projects reserve, and the plan is working as designed.
The Wastewater enterprise recorded a net operating loss of $358,445 as expenditures, including Depreciation, exceeded operating income. The payoff of Pension Liability costs reduced the Long‐term liability for the fund. Accounts payable decreased by $47k. The utility's user fees generate sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses, maintain an operating reserve and fund a capital reserve. Like the Water enterprise, the rate plan is designed to accumulate $1M per year in a capital project reserve and works as designed.
The C. V. Starr Center's operation is contracted to the Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District and is supported by property tax, sales tax, and user fees. The C.V. Starr Center's operating expenses exceeded operating revenue (user fees) by $1.2 million. The operating loss is subsidized with non‐operating revenue, including the tax revenue mentioned above, with the resulting change in Net position increasing by $332k. As mentioned, the Center was closed in March 2022 to comply with shelter‐in‐place orders and reopened in July 2021 on a limited basis. The Center was awarded a Grant of $602,160 in FY 21/22 as part of the COVID relief funds for districts. Operating Revenues were only $382k, recording a decline of 48% from pre‐pandemic levels.

19 General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The fund financial statements compare the Budget to actual for major governmental funds. These statements and the notes are presented as additional information to show that appropriations are being spent as authorized by the City Council.
The original Budget estimated $9.9 million in revenues. The amended Budget was $10.7 million, and actual revenues of $11.2 million ended the fiscal year above budget estimates by $539k. The General Fund was the most impacted by the Pandemic and economic shutdown in the last quarter of 2019/20. This is because it relies on TOT and Sales Tax Revenues, accounting for approximately 48 percent of the City's General Fund revenue. Both transient occupancy and sales tax recovered in FY 20/21 and continued the strong results into FY 21/22, recording its best year. Reimbursements also recorded a $629k increase due to the increase in reimbursements to the General Fund from the Enterprise Funds due to the Cost Allocation True done at the end of the fiscal year based on actual staff time hours.
Expenditures were held below the final amended Budget of $10.6 million by $283k. Expenditure across many categories recorded savings except Public Safety, $72k, and Public Works‐ Engineering, $60k. The Department sent three police recruits to the academy in January 2022. While the goal is to fill vacancies and eliminate the need to backfill positions, the normal duration for the academy and field training is approximately six months, requiring overtime to backfill until the recruits are ready to serve as sworn officers.
The Non‐ Departmental category records expenditures not associated with a specific department of the City.
These include Retiree Medical costs, Insurance costs, Utilities, and OPEB funding, to name a few. This revenue category ended the year under Budget by $260k. The expenses of CIRA liability and property premium payments were much lower than anticipated.
Additionally, a Budget of $150k was set aside to be contributed to the Section 115 Trust to absorb future pension cost increases.
The City of Fort Bragg Fund Balance and Reserve Policies, adopted by the City Council and incorporated in the Budget development policies, established an Operating Reserve ($1.98 million) of at least 15‐25 percent of the annual operating expenditures General Fund. Its purpose is to serve as a strategic reserve, ensure the General Fund's liquidity, and make adequate resources available to manage economic uncertainties.
Additionally, the recession reserve of $489k, equivalent to 5 percent of the City's annual operating Budget, and the Litigation reserve remains at $200k. Restricted Funds of $3.5 million from the 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds were to be used to rehabilitate and remediate certain properties in the City. These funds were subsequently returned.
The General Fund ended the year with a fund balance (of non‐spendable, committed, and unassigned amounts) of $5.01 million, representing an increase of $908k for the year.

Internal services funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as fleet services, to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the governmental funds balance sheet.
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position are different because:
Interest payable on long-term debt does not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, is not reported in the governmental funds.
Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported in the governmental funds balance sheet.
Governmental funds notes receivable from various loan programs are deferred under the current financial resources measurement focus. The notes receivable are recognized in the government-wide Statement of Net Position under the accrual basis of accounting.
Pension obligations result in deferred outflows and inflows of resouces associated with the actuarial value of contributions, assets, and liaiblities 30 City of Fort Bragg, California

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 governmental funds:
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these basic financial statements.
Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures while governmental activities report depreciation expense to allocate those expenditures over the life of the Certain notes receivable are reported in the governmental funds as expenditures and then offset by a deferred revenue as they are not available to pay current expenditures.
Likewise, when the note is collected it is reflected in revenue. This is the net change between notes receivable collected and issued.
Certain employee benefit obligations are recorded on a pay-as-you-go basis in the governmental funds, but are accrued as liabilities in the Statement of Net Position:
Internal services funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as fleet services, to individual funds. The change in Net Position of the Internal Service Funds net of capital assets are included in the governmental activities in the government-wide Statement of Net Position.
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items. 35 City of Fort Bragg, California

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2022
49 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the City of Fort Bragg (City) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles (USGAAP) generally accepted in the United States of America as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant principles are described below.
A. Description of Government‐wide Financial Statements The government‐wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the non‐fiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. All fiduciary activities are reported only in the fiduciary fund financial statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non‐exchange transactions, are reported separately from business‐type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges to external customers for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable.
B. Reporting Entity
The City of Fort Bragg was incorporated August 5, 1889, under the applicable laws and regulations of the State of California. The City operates under a Council‐City Manager form of government and provides a variety of services including public safety (police and fire); streets and highways; wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal; water treatment; planning and zoning; public improvement and redevelopment; and general administrative services. The accompanying financial statements present the City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable.
Blended Component Units
Because of their relationship with the City and the nature of their operations, component units are, in substance, part of the City’s operations and, accordingly, the activities of these component units are combined, or blended with the activities of the City for purposes of reporting in the accompanying basic financial statements. The basis for blending the component units is that their governing bodies are substantially the same as the City’s Council.
Fort Bragg Municipal Improvement District No. 1 (District) includes all of the funds and operations for the City’s wastewater collection and treatment processes. The District is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of the members of the Fort Bragg City Council. The City of Fort Bragg exercises significant financial and management control over the District. The activities of the District are reported as a major enterprise fund within the City’s financial statements.
Complete financial statements of the District can be obtained directly from the City of Fort Bragg, 416 N.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2022
50 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued C. Basis of Presentation
The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds, each of which is defined as a separate fiscal and accounting entity with a self‐balancing set of accounts. These funds are established for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations.
In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34 (GASB 34), “Basic Financial Statements—and Management's Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments,” the financial statements consist of the following:
● Government‐wide financial statements,
● Fund financial statements, and
● Notes to the financial statements
Government‐wide Financial Statements
While separate government‐wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are interrelated. The governmental activities column incorporates data from governmental funds and internal service funds, while business‐type activities incorporate data from the government’s enterprise funds. 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.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information on all of the non‐fiduciary activities of the primary government (the City) and its component units. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government‐wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments in lieu of taxes where the amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the interfund services provided and other charges between the City’s water and wastewater functions and various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non‐exchange transactions.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the City’s governmental activities. Direct expenses are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational need of a particular program, and (c) fees, grants, and contributions that are restricted to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.

Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s funds, including its fiduciary fund and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category – governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary – are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as non‐major funds.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government except those required to be accounted for in specialized funds.
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Income Fund special revenue fund was established to account for program income generated by CDBG funded projects. The funds are used for activities that benefit low‐ and moderate‐income persons to ensure decent affordable housing and to create jobs through the expansion and retention of businesses.
The Housing Successor Agency special revenue fund was established to account for the housing assets, rights, power, duties, obligations and functions previously performed by the Redevelopment Agency in administering its Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.
The Special Sales Tax Street Repair Fund special revenue fund is used to account for revenue received from local sales taxes restricted to street repairs.
The Street Resurfacing Project Fund is a capital project fund used to account for costs associated with the Street Resurfacing project and Street Structural Repair project. This project is funded with local sales taxes collected specifically for street maintenance and repair.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water enterprise fund accounts for the activities of the City’s water treatment and distribution operations.
The Wastewater enterprise fund accounts for the activities of the Fort Bragg Municipal Improvement District No. 1 which provides the City’s wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal operations.
The C.V. Starr Center enterprise fund accounts for all operations of the C.V. Starr Center, including the local sales tax restricted to funding the operations of the C.V. Starr Center and the property taxes collected by the City as part of a Property Tax Exchange agreement.

Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds account for maintenance and repair of City facilities, information technology, and vehicle operations that provide services to other departments of the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
The Private‐Purpose Trust Fund is a fiduciary fund type used by the City to report trust arrangements under which principal and income benefit other governments. This fund reports the assets, liabilities, and activities of the Fort Bragg Redevelopment Successor Agency (Successor Agency). The Successor Agency operates under the auspices of a legislatively formed Oversight Board comprised of representatives of the local agencies that serve the redevelopment project area. The Oversight Board, in its fiduciary capacity, has authority over the operations and the timely dissolution of the former RDA. It is tasked with fulfilling the obligations of the former RDA, and is also responsible for revenue collection, maintaining necessary bond reserves, and disposing of excess property.
During the course of operations the City has activity between funds for various purposes. Any residual balances outstanding at fiscal year‐end are reported as due from/to other funds and advances to/from other funds. While these balances are reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government‐wide financial statements. Balances between the funds included in governmental activities (i.e., the governmental and internal service funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the governmental activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds included in business‐type activities (i.e., the enterprise funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the business‐type activities column.
Further, certain activity occurs during the fiscal year involving transfers of resources between funds. In fund financial statements these amounts are reported at gross amounts as transfers in/out. While reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government‐wide financial statements. Transfers between the funds included in governmental activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the governmental activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds included in business‐type activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the business‐type activities column.
D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.
The government‐wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and 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 year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
City of Fort Bragg, California
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2022
53 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting, continued The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and 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 City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long‐term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Entitlements are recorded as revenues when all eligibility requirements are met, including any time requirements, and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source (within 60 days of a fiscal year‐end). Expenditure‐driven grants are recognized as revenue when eligible expenditures have been incurred against a fully executed grant agreement. Such accrued revenue is considered available even if it is not received within 60 days of year‐end. This method provides improved reporting and control at the program level because it appropriately matches funding sources and uses. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City.
Proprietary and private‐purpose trust funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non‐ operating 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 Water and Wastewater enterprise funds and of the City’s internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation/amortization on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non‐operating revenues and expenses.
E. Budgetary Information
1) Budgetary basis of accounting
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the general fund and enterprise funds. The capital projects funds are appropriated on a project‐length basis. Other special revenue funds do not have appropriated budgets since other means control the use of these resources (e.g., grant awards and endowment requirements) and sometimes span a period of more than one fiscal year.
City of Fort Bragg, California
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2022
54 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued E. Budgetary Information, Continued
The City Council follows the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the required supplementary information:
Before the end of each fiscal year, the City Manager and Finance Director prepare and submit to the City Council a proposed budget for the subsequent fiscal year. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the means for financing them.
The City Council reviews the proposed budget in public hearings which provides interested citizens opportunity to comment. The Council may add to, subtract from, or change appropriations, but may not change the form of the budget.
Prior to July 1, or soon after, the budget is legally adopted by the City Council through resolution.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department. The City’s department heads may make transfers of appropriations within a department with City Manager approval.
Transfers of appropriations between departments require the approval of the Council. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the fund level.
Appropriations in all budgeted funds lapse at the end of the fiscal year unless they have related encumbrances. Encumbrances are commitments related to unperformed (executory) contracts for goods or services (i.e., purchase orders, contracts, and commitments). Encumbrance accounting is utilized to the extent necessary to assure effective budgetary control and accountability and to facilitate effective cash planning and control. Valid outstanding encumbrances (those for which performance under the executory contract is expected in the next year) are brought forward and become part of the subsequent year’s budget pursuant to City policy.
F. Unearned Revenue
Under both the accrual and modified accrual basis of accounting, revenue may be recognized only when earned. Therefore, the government‐wide statement of net position as well as governmental and enterprise funds defer revenue recognition in connection with resources that have been received as of fiscal year‐end, but not yet earned. Assets recognized in connection with a transaction before the earnings process is complete are offset by a corresponding liability for unearned revenue.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, it is not enough that revenue had been earned if it is to be recognized in the current period. Revenue must also be susceptible to accrual (i.e., measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period). Governmental funds report unearned revenues, in connection with receivables for revenue not considered available to liquidate, as deferred inflows of resources.

55 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued G. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance 1) Cash and cash equivalents
The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short‐ term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. 2) Investments
Investments for the City and its component units are reported at fair value (generally based on quoted market prices).
3) Inventories and prepaid items
Inventories for both governmental and proprietary funds consist principally of materials and supplies held for consumption and are valued at cost, approximating fair value, using the first‐in, first‐out (FIFO) method. The cost of such inventories is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased. Inventories recorded in the governmental funds do not reflect current appropriable resources and thus, an equivalent portion of fund balance is shown as non‐spendable.
Certain payments to vendors represent costs applicable to future accounting periods and would be recorded as prepaid items in both the government‐wide and fund financial statements. The City had $960 in prepaid expenses in governmental activities as of June 30, 2022. 4) Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, buildings, infrastructure (roads, sidewalks and similar items), and machinery and equipment, are reported in the applicable governmental or business‐type activities column in the governmental‐wide financial statements. Capital assets, except for infrastructure assets, are defined by the City as assets with an initial individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. For infrastructure assets the same estimated minimum useful life is used (in excess of two years), but only those infrastructure projects that cost more than $50,000 are reported as capital assets.
In the case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets (i.e., those reported by governmental activities), the City chose to include all such items regardless of their acquisition date or amount. The City was able to estimate the historical cost for the initial reporting of these assets through back trending (i.e., estimating the current replacement cost of the infrastructure to be capitalized and using an appropriate price‐level index to deflate the cost to the acquisition year or estimated acquisition year). As the City constructs or acquires additional capital assets each period, including infrastructure assets, they are capitalized and reported at historical cost.

For the year ended June 30, 2022
56 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued G. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance, Continued
The reported value excludes normal maintenance and repairs which are essentially amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or increase its estimated useful life. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items as well as capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are reported at acquisition value. During the current fiscal period, infrastructure projects that were incomplete are reported as “construction in progress.”
Interest is capitalized on the construction of major assets acquired with debt. The amount of interest to be capitalized is calculated by offsetting interest expense incurred from the date of the borrowing until completion of the project with interest earned on invested proceeds over the same period. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, there were no projects meeting the criteria for interest capitalization.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets, as applicable. Capitalization thresholds are $5,000 for any single item.
Land and construction in progress are not depreciated. Property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure of the City are depreciated using the straight‐line method using the following estimated useful lives:
Capital Asset Class
Estimated
Useful Life
Buildings 40 ‐75 years
Infrastructure 10 ‐ 50 years
Utility Plant 10 ‐ 50 years
Machinery & Equipment 3 ‐ 40 years
Vehicles 5 ‐ 10 years
Improvements 5 ‐ 30 years
5) Net position flow assumption
Sometimes the City 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 assets 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 City’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied, due to the nature of the restrictions.

57 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued G. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance, Continued
6) Deferred outflows/inflows of resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net 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 three items reported as a deferred outflow of resources. The first item, deferred loss on refunding, is reported in the government‐wide statement of net position. A deferred loss on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. The second item is a deferred charge on OPEB Trust plan contributions in the government‐wide statement of net position.
The third item is a deferred charge on pension plan contributions in the government‐wide statement of net position.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of 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 so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has three items reported as a deferred inflow of resources. The first item arises only under the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from two sources: sales taxes and grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. The second deferred inflow of resources is the net difference between projected and actual earnings on OPEB Trust plan investments and is reported in the government‐wide statement of net position. The third deferred inflow of resources is the net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments and is reported in the government‐wide statement of net position.
7) Fund Balance flow assumptions
Sometimes the City 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 City’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.

8) Net Position/Fund Balance
GASB Statement No. 63 adds the concept of Net Position, which is measured on the full accrual basis, to the concept of Fund Balance, which is measured on the modified accrual basis. Net Position represents the difference between assets and liabilities and are divided into three captions under GASB Statement No. 34. These captions apply only to Net Position as determined at the government‐ wide level, and are described below:
Net Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of Net Position which is represented by the current net book value of the City’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include debt service requirements and funds restricted for various purposes, such as low and moderate income housing, community development, streets and roads, and public safety.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted as to use.
GASB Statement No. 54 establishes fund balance classifications for the Fund Financial Statements that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported in governmental funds.
Non‐spendable Fund Balance – This amount is comprised of net position that cannot be spent because of their form or must remain intact pursuant to legal or contractual requirements.
Restricted Fund Balance – This balance is comprised of net position that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance – This balance includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the City’s highest level of decision‐making authority. The City Council (Council) is the highest level of decision‐making authority for the City that can, by adoption of an ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation.
Assigned Fund Balance – This balance is intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The Council has City of Fort Bragg, California
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2022
59 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued G. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance, Continued
by resolution authorized the Finance Director to assign fund balance. The Council may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to either remove or revise a commitment.
Unassigned Fund Balance – This balance represents residual net resources or total fund balance in the General Fund in excess of non‐spendable, restricted, committed and assigned fund balance (surplus). In other governmental funds the balance represents the excess of non‐spendable, restricted, and committed fund balance over total fund balance (deficit).
The City applies restricted resources first when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which either restricted or unrestricted (committed, assigned, and unassigned) amounts are available.
Similarly, within unrestricted fund balance, committed amounts are reduced first followed by assigned, and then unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used. 9) Restricted Assets
Certain cash and investments in the Water Fund are held by the City’s fiscal agents and classified as restricted assets on the statement of net position because their use is limited by applicable bond or other covenants.
10) Lease Obligations
Lease Liabilities represent the City’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments expected to be made during the lease term. The present value of lease payments is discounted based on a borrowing rate determined by the City.

CV STARR 15,996
$ 5,834,096
12) Long‐Term Obligations
In the government‐wide financial statements, the proprietary fund financial statements, and the private‐purpose trust fund, long‐term debt and other long‐term obligations are reported as liabilities.
Initial‐issue bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight‐line method. Amortization of bond premiums or discounts is included as a component of interest expense.
H. Revenues and expenditures/expenses
1) Program revenues
Amounts reported as 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 (including special assessments) that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes (excluding those dedicated for specific purposes) and other internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
The City only accrues revenues at fiscal year‐end and accrues only those revenues it deems collectible; as such the City has no allowance for uncollectible accounts. Management has determined that uncollectible receivables, if any, would be immaterial based on an analysis of historical trends.
2) Property taxes
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on real property and are levied as of July 1st. The City relies on the competency of the County of Mendocino Assessor’s and Auditor‐Controller’s (County) offices to properly assess, collect, and distribute property taxes.

61 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued H. Revenues and expenditures/expenses, Continued
The method of allocation used by the County is subject to review by the State of California. The City and the County have adopted the Alternative Method of Tax Apportionment – Teeter Plan. First enacted in 1949, the Teeter Plan provides California counties with an optional alternative method for allocating delinquent property tax revenues. Using the accrual method of accounting under the Teeter Plan, counties allocate property tax revenues based on the total amount of property taxes billed, but not yet collected. In exchange, the counties receive the penalties and interest on delinquent taxes when collected. Mendocino County assesses properties, bills for, and collects secured and unsecured property taxes as follows:
Secured Unsecured
Lien dates January 1 January 1
Levy dates July 1 July 1
Due dates 50% on November 1 July 1
50% on February 1
Delinquent as of December 10 (for November due date) August 31 April 10 (for February due date
3) Compensated absences
Vacation
Earned vacation and a portion of accumulated sick‐leave payable upon termination or retirement are accrued as compensated absences. The accrual includes the City’s share of payroll taxes. Regular employees earn vacation hours based on the number of years of continuous service. No more than 240 hours (340 hours after 10 years of continuous service) may be accumulated.
Sick Leave
Regular employees are given credit for eight (8) hours sick‐leave for each month of employment with unlimited accumulation. Each employee who has two or more years of service with the City and who separates from City service for any reason, except discharge for cause, is entitled to payment of the monetary equivalent of 30% of unused sick‐leave accrued to a maximum of 1,000 hours. This 30% is included in the compensated absences accrual.
4) Proprietary funds operating and non‐operating revenues and expenses Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non‐operating 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 water and wastewater funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The C.V. Starr Center fund has three sources of revenue: property taxes, district sales tax, and user fees.
The water and wastewater funds also recognize as
City of Fort Bragg, California

62 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued H. Revenues and expenditures/expenses, Continued
operating revenue the portion intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses for enterprise include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues not meeting this definition are reported as non‐operating revenues and expenses. Although Internal Service Funds are proprietary in nature, they are funded entirely by internal customers and reported as governmental activities.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
I. 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, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
J. New and Closed Funds
During the course of each fiscal year funds may be closed and new funds opened. In FY 2021/20 no funds were closed. The SWRCB (State Water Resources Control Board) grant fund was opened.
K. Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified to provide for comparable results on a year to year basis.
L. Other Postemployment 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 Authority’s plan (OPEB Plan) and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2022
Measurement Date June 30, 2022

65 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS, Continued
Interest rate risk –Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market 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.
Credit risk – As of June 30, 2022, the City’s investments in money market funds were rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings, and Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service. The State of California Local Agency Investment Fund is not rated.
Concentration of credit risk – The City’s investment policy does not allow for an investment in any one issuer that is in excess of five percent of the government’s total investments. The investments made by the City Treasurer are limited to those allowable under State statutes as incorporated into the City’s Investment Policy, which is accepted annually by the City Council. There were no concentrations in any one issuer for the year.
The City participates in an investment pool managed by the State of California titled Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF's investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing these investments
Custodial credit risk – deposits. Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, the City will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits. At June 30, 2022, the carrying amount of the City’s cash deposits (including fiduciary funds) was $4,230,302 of which $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance and $2,519,052 was collateralized as required by State law (Government Code Section 53630), by the pledging financial institution with assets held in a common pool for the City and other governmental agencies, but not in the name of the City.
The California Government Code (Government Code Section 53630) 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.
As of June 30, 2022, the City’s investments were held by the City’s custodial agent, but not in the City’s name, and were insured up to specified limits by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and supplemental private insurance up to a limit of $150 million. Investment balances equaled $18,723,236.

66 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS, Continued
Custodial credit risk – investments. Custodial credit risk – investment generally applied only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk – investment does not apply to a local government’s indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as Local Agency Investment Fund).
Investment in LAIF
The City is a voluntary participant in California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is regulated by California Government Code Section under the oversight of the Local Investment Advisory Board (Board).
The Board consists of five members as designated by state statute, and is chaired by the State Treasurer who is responsible for day to day administration of LAIF. The total amount invested by all public agencies as of June 30, 2022 was $35,761,173,309 of which the City had a balance of $10,963,909. LAIF is part of the California Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA), which at June 30, 2022 has a portfolio with market valuation including accrued interest of $231,867,874,452. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro‐rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio).
The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

Governmental Activities
2021 Lease Revenue Bonds
On October 28, 2021 the City issued $11,440,000 in Lease Revenue Bonds. Of the proceeds, $3,500,000 will be used to rehabilitate and remediate certain real property located in the City. The remaining proceeds of $7,540,414 were used to pay down a portion of the outstanding UAL projected by CalPERS. Interest is payable semi‐annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing November 1, 2022. The bonds mature in 2044 and principal is payable on May 1 each year, commencing May 1, 2023. The interest rate for the bonds varies from 0.74% to 3.5%.
Caspar Landfill Closure and Post‐Closure Cost
The Caspar Landfill site was closed in 1995. State and federal laws and regulations require that the City place a final cover on its landfill when closed, and perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the landfill site for thirty years after closure. These costs are shared equally by the City and County of Mendocino.
At June 30, 2022, the City’s estimated liability for its share of landfill closure and post‐closure care costs was $1,069,730. This estimated total cost of the landfill closure and post‐closure care is based on the amount that would be paid if all equipment, facilities, and services required to close, monitor, and maintain the landfill were acquired as of June 30, 2022, as determined by the last engineering study performed. However, the actual cost of closure and post‐closure care may change due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in landfill laws and regulations.
The City has made a pledge of future user surcharge revenues for anticipated remaining expected costs, future inflation costs, and any additional costs (including debt service) that might arise from changes in post‐ closure requirements (due to changes in technology or more rigorous environmental regulations, for example).

The maximum amount of the loan cannot exceed $2,325,500, of which the City had borrowed $2,141,532. At June 30, 2022, the balance of the loan payable was $549,604. Loan principal payments of $52,889 are required semi‐annually on January 1st and July 1st for twenty (20) years commencing January 1, 2007.
Compensated Absences
The City records employee absences, such as vacation, illness, and holidays, for which it is expected that employees will be paid as compensated absences.

CalPERS Side Fund Debt
Under the City’s contract with CalPERS the City is obligated to make certain payments to CalPERS in respect to retired public safety and miscellaneous employees under the Side Fund program of CalPERS which amortizes such obligations over a fixed period of time. The current annual interest rate imputed by PERS to side funds is
7.5%. Debt service will be funded from the revenue of the general fund. The initial side fund obligation amount was $497,479, with a retirement in the amount of $80,436 for the year end June 30, 2022. The amount is paid in July of each year as provided by CalPERS, therefore no maturity schedule is available for this debt.

10. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City provides property, liability, and worker’s compensation insurance through the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA), a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and self‐insurance program for fifteen Northern California municipalities. The City pays quarterly and annual contributions and premiums to CIRA for its general insurance and self‐insurance coverage. The joint powers formation agreement of the CIRA provides that the CIRA will self‐insure through member contributions and collect premiums for insurance and reinsurance for liability insurance and other coverage.

CIRA is a risk sharing, self‐funded pool which is a direct purchase program. The CIRA cost sharing pool provides coverage between the City’s deductible and $500,000 (liability program) and $1,000,000 (workers’ compensation program). Losses in excess of the CIRA cost sharing pool limits are covered by CIRA through the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority for liability and commercial insurance policies for workers' compensation. Loss limits and deductibles are per occurrence as detailed on the table below. Losses exceeding these limits are the responsibility of the City. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.

79 11. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM
General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Descriptions ‐ All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City's separate Safety (police and fire) and Miscellaneous (all other) Employee Pension Plans, cost‐sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS). Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Benefits Provided ‐ CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non‐ duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees' Retirement Law.
The Plans' provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2022, are summarized as follows:

80 11. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM, Continued
Contributions ‐ Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CaIPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the contributions recognized as part of pension expense for each Plan were as follows:
Miscellaneous Plans Safety Plans
Contributions ‐ employer 4,417,473 $ $ 4,371,829 Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions As of June 30, 2022, the City reported net pension liabilities for its proportionate shares of the net pension liability of each Plan as follows
Proportionate Share
of Net Pension Liability
Miscellaneous Plans 3,153,761 $
Safety Plans 3,194,969
Total Net Pension Liability 6,348,730 $
The City's net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2021, and the total pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020 rolled forward to June 30, 2021 using standard update procedures. The City's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City's long‐term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2016 CalPERS combined the Miscellaneous Plan and PEPRA Miscellaneous Plan for purposes of calculating net pension liability. Likewise the Safety‐Police Plan, PEPRA Safety‐Police Plan and Safety‐Fire Plans were combined for purposes of calculating net pension liability. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Plan as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

The underlying mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS’ specific data. The table includes 20 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale BB. For more details, please refer to the 2014 experience study report.
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2022 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the fiscal years 1997 to 2011, including updates to salary increase, mortality and retirement rates. The Experience Study can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications.
Discount Rate ‐ The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15 percent. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of the discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. The tests revealed the assets would not run out. Therefore, the current 7.15 percent discount rate is appropriate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not deemed necessary. The long‐term expected discount rate of 7.15 percent is applied to all plans in the Public Employees' Retirement Fund (PERF). The cash flows used in the testing were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called "GASB Crossover Testing Report" that can be obtained at CalPERS website under the GASB 68 section.
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, staff took into account both short‐term and long‐term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund (PERF) cash flows. Taking into account historical returns of all the Public Employees Retirement Funds' asset classes (which includes the agent plan and two cost‐sharing plans or PERF A, B, and C funds), expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short‐term (first 10 years) and the long‐term (11‐60 years) using a building‐block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short‐term and long‐term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each PERF fund.

The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short‐term and long‐term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.
The table below reflects the long‐term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation.

84 12. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
Plan Description
The City offers its employees a post‐retirement health program, a Single Employer plan, which includes medical and dental coverage. Upon retirement for service or disability, employees hired prior to July 1, 2011 (January 1, 2012 for Fort Bragg Police Officer Association members) retiring directly from service at age 50 or over with 10 years of service may continue coverage for themselves and their spouse’s (to whom they are married at retirement) as detailed below. Currently 19 employees meet those eligibility requirements.
Expenditures for these post‐retirement benefits are recognized as monthly premiums are paid. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, expenditures of $269,166 were recognized for the cost of these post‐ retirement benefits. The OPEB plan does not issue a separate financial report.
The City pays portions of the premiums dependent on bargaining group and employee hire date as follows:
Tier 1: For retirees hired before January 1, 1992, the City pays the full cost of medical and dental premium for the former employee. In addition, the City pays a percentage of the spouse’s medical plan premium starting at the retiree’s age 60. The percentage is 10% for each year of service after 10 years, reaching 100% for those retiring with 19 or more years of service. In addition, the spouse may participate in the dental program‐but at their own cost.
Tier 2: For retirees hired after January 1, 1992 and before July 1, 2003 (July 1, 2004 for Fort Bragg Police Officer Association members), the City pays the full cost of medical and dental premiums for the former employee only.
Tier 3: For retirees hired after July 1, 2003 (July 1, 2004 for Fort Bragg Police Officer Association members) and before July 1, 2007, the City pays the full cost of medical and dental premiums for the former employee until age 65 when Medicare becomes payable. Thereafter, coverage is limited to a supplemental prescription drug plan, which is paid for by the City.
Tier 4: For retirees hired after July 1, 2007 and before July 1, 2011 (January 1, 2012 for Fort Bragg Police Officer Association members), the retiree only may remain in the City’s health and dental plan until age 65, but at their own cost.
Tier 5: For retirees hired on or after July 1, 2011 (January 1, 2012 for Fort Bragg Police Officer Association members), the retiree and spouse may not participate in the City’s health plans.

City Contribution to the Plan
The Plan and its contribution requirements are established by Memoranda of Understanding with the applicable employee bargaining units and may be amended by agreements between the City and the bargaining units. The annual contribution is based on the actuarially determined contribution. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City’s cash contributions were $5,000 in payments to the trust, $410,289 cash benefit payments, and the estimated implied subsidy was $39,000 resulting in total payments of $454,289.
Net OPEB Liability
The City’s net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2021 and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2021 that was rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2022 total OPEB liability, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB), Continued The long‐term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building‐ block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long‐term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Rate of Return
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that Authority 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 OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long‐term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

13. SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (“the Bill”) that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action impacted the reporting entity of the City of Fort Bragg that previously had reported a redevelopment agency within the reporting entity of the City as a blended component unit.
City of Fort Bragg, California
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2022
89 13. SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, Continued The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the city or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. On January 9, 2012 the City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) in accordance with the Bill as part of City resolution number 3504‐2012.
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments). In future fiscal years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011), all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as legal entities as of February 1, 2012. As allowed under Section 34176(a) of the Bill, the City elected to retain the housing functions previously performed by the former RDA. The assets and activities for the Successor Agency Housing fund continue to be reported in the City’s governmental fund financial statements.
The remaining assets, liabilities, and activities of the dissolved RDA, are reported in the Successor Agency fiduciary fund (private purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City.
The transfer of the assets and liabilities of the former RDA as of February 1, 2012 (effectively the same date as January 31, 2012) from governmental funds of the City to fiduciary funds was reported as an extraordinary item in the governmental fund financial statements in FY 2011/12.

90 13. SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, Continued 2015 Refunding Tax Allocation Bonds
In 2015 the former Fort Bragg Redevelopment Agency issued $4,040,000 of Tax Allocation Bonds for the purpose of refunding $4,005,000 of outstanding 2004 Tax Allocation Bonds and making funds available for future capital projects. The refunding took advantage of lower interest rates which were available. The refunding resulted in a difference between the reacquisition price and the carrying amount of the old debt, which has been deferred in accordance with GASB Statement No. 23. Deferred amounts for the loss on refunding and the original discount associated with the issuance of the 2015 Bonds are being amortized over the life of the 2015 issue using the straight line method.
The Bonds bear annual interest at rates varying between 2.00% and 3.25%. The Bonds were issued as a fully registered note in denominations of $5,000. Interest on the bonds are payable semi‐annually each September 1 and March 1. Principal is paid in annual installments each September 1, 2016, through the fiscal year 2037 in amounts ranging from $90,000 through $250,000. The outstanding principal balance as of June 30, 2022 was $3,015,000.

91 15. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The GASB has issued Statement No. 91, "Conduit Debt Obligations." The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Earlier application is encouraged. The primary objectives of this Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by issuers, (2) arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This Statement achieves those objectives by clarifying the existing definition of a conduit debt obligation; establishing that a conduit debt obligation is not a liability of the issuer; establishing standards for accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments extended by issuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note disclosures. The City will implement this statement, as applicable, to its financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2023.
The GASB has issued statement No. 94, “Public‐Private and Public‐Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements”. The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by improving the comparability of financial statements among governments that enter into PPPs and APAs and by enhancing the understandability, reliability, relevance, and consistency of information about PPPs and APAs. The City will implement this statement, as applicable, to its financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2023.
The GASB has issued statement No. 96, “Subscription‐Based Information Technology Arrangements”. The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by (a) establishing uniform accounting and financial reporting requirements for SBITAs; (b) improving the comparability of financial statements among governments that have entered into SBITAs; and (c) enhancing the understandability, reliability, relevance, and consistency of information about SBITAs. The City will implement this statement, as applicable, to its financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2023.
The GASB has issued statement No. 97, “Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans”. The primary objectives of this Statement are to (a) increase consistency and comparability related to the reporting of fiduciary component units in circumstances in which a potential component unit does not have a governing board and the primary government performs the duties that a governing board typically would perform; (b) mitigate costs associated with the reporting of certain defined contribution pension plans, defined contribution other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans, and employee benefit plans other than pension plans or OPEB plans (other employee benefit plans) as fiduciary component units in fiduciary fund financial statements; and (c) enhance the relevance, consistency, and comparability of the accounting and financial reporting for Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 457 deferred compensation plans (Section 457 plans) that meet the definition of a pension plan and for benefits provided through those plans.

92 16. PANDEMIC EFFECTS
The COVID‐19 pandemic, whose effects first became known in January 2020, is having a broad and negative impact on commerce and financial markets around the world. The United States and global markets experienced significant declines in value resulting from uncertainty caused by the pandemic. The City is closely monitoring its investment portfolio and its liquidity and is actively working to minimize the impact of these declines. The extent of the impact of COVID‐19 on the City’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and its impacts on the City’s employees, and vendors, all of which at present, cannot be determined. Accordingly, the extent to which COVID‐19 may impact the City’s financial position and changes in net position, fund balance and cash flows is uncertain, and the accompanying financial statements include no adjustments relating to the effects of this pandemic.

Upon the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency on February 1, 2012, property taxes received by the Redevelopment Successor Agency are reported in a private-purpose trust fund and therefore are excluded from the activities of the primary government. ‐

Last Ten Fiscal Years
(Dollars in thousands)
(Fiscal year ended June 30)
Notes: The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed secured tax valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown above reflect a conversion of the assessed value for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the state.
