The Honorable City Council
City of Fort Bragg
Transmittal of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
To the Citizens of the City of Fort Bragg, Honorable Mayor, and Members of the City Council:
We are pleased to present the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the City of Fort Bragg for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and standards established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and is intended to provide a complete and transparent presentation of the City’s financial position and results of operations.
Management is responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and fairness of the information contained in this report, as well as for establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP.
These internal controls are designed to protect public resources while ensuring accountability and sound financial management.
The City’s financial statements have been audited by JJACPA, Inc., an independent firm of certified public accountants licensed and qualified to perform audits of California local governments. The audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards. The auditors have issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion, stating that the City’s financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Their independent auditor’s report is included at the beginning of the Financial Section of this report.
Following the auditor’s report, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) provides a narrative overview and analysis of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year. It is intended to complement this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with the basic financial statements and notes for a fuller understanding of the City’s fiscal condition.
This report includes the financial activities of the City of Fort Bragg, the Fort Bragg Redevelopment Successor Agency, and Fort Bragg Municipal Improvement District No. 1 (MID). Although the Successor Agency and MID are legally separate entities, they are included as blended component units because of the City Council’s governing responsibility viii
and the close financial relationship they share with the City. Additional detail regarding these component units is provided in the MD&A and the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.
Profile of the Government
Incorporated in 1889, the City of Fort Bragg is located on the scenic Mendocino Coast approximately 165 miles north of San Francisco. With a population of approximately 6,983, Fort Bragg is the largest city on the Northern California coast between San Francisco and Eureka. The City spans 2.7 square miles and is known for its coastal setting, historic character, and role as a regional center for tourism, recreation, services, and commerce.
Fort Bragg operates under the Council-Manager form of government. The five-member City Council is elected at large to staggered four-year terms, and the Mayor is selected by the Council. The Council appoints the City Manager, who is responsible for carrying out Council policy, overseeing municipal operations, and managing City departments and personnel.
The City provides a broad range of services, including police protection, water and wastewater utility operations, public works, community development, administrative services, and recreation and wellness programming through the C.V. Starr Community Center. The City also works collaboratively with other public agencies, special districts, and joint powers authorities that support fire protection, wastewater treatment, education, healthcare, and harbor services throughout the region.
The City’s annual budget serves as an important financial and policy document, aligning available resources with City Council priorities, strategic initiatives, and service needs. The City Manager is responsible for preparing and administering the budget, including capital planning and ongoing fiscal monitoring throughout the year. The City maintains internal controls, budgetary oversight, and an encumbrance accounting system to strengthen fiscal discipline and ensure appropriations are not exceeded.
Spending Limitation
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, commonly known as the Gann Spending Limitation, restricts the amount of proceeds of taxes that California governments may appropriate each year. The City continues to remain below its appropriations limit and was not constrained by the Gann limitation during fiscal year 2024/25.
Economic Conditions and Fiscal Outlook
Fort Bragg’s local economy continues to be shaped by its role as a coastal destination community, with tourism, retail activity, healthcare, education, and public services serving as important economic drivers. The City’s General Fund remains significantly supported by transient occupancy tax (TOT), sales and use tax, and property tax revenues. These revenues continued to perform steadily during fiscal year 2024/25, reflecting a stable local economy and prudent fiscal management.
During fiscal year 2024/25, the City saw growth in several key revenue categories. Property tax revenues increased by approximately 6%, sales and use tax increased by approximately 14%, and transient occupancy tax increased modestly following the partial-year ix
implementation of Measure U. Measure T and Measure U, both effective April 1, 2025, began contributing additional local revenue in support of municipal services and long-term financial sustainability.
While the broader economy continues to face uncertainty related to inflationary pressures, interest rates, housing affordability, and potential trade disruptions, the City remains focused on long-term fiscal resilience. Local unemployment has continued to improve from pandemicera highs, and Fort Bragg’s economy remains supported by visitor spending, local business activity, and ongoing public investment.
At the same time, the City continues to navigate longer-term fiscal challenges common to many local governments, including rising personnel costs, pension obligations, infrastructure replacement needs, and uncertainty in state and federal funding. These conditions reinforce the importance of maintaining strong reserves, pursuing outside funding opportunities, and making strategic investments that support the City’s long-term operational and financial health.
Major Initiatives and Financial Highlights
Fiscal year 2024/25 was marked by significant progress in infrastructure investment, utility modernization, and implementation of strategic priorities that position the City for long-term resilience.
Fiscal Year 2024/25 was marked by significant progress across multiple strategic priorities, reflecting the City’s continued commitment to economic vitality, infrastructure investment, organizational excellence, and community engagement. Key accomplishments include:
• Voter Approval of Measures T and U, generating over $1.4 million in new ongoing General Fund revenue to support essential City services and long-term fiscal sustainability.
• Attainment of a 30% General Fund Reserve Level, exceeding best practice recommendations and strengthening the City’s financial resilience and ability to respond to economic uncertainty.
• Investment of $3.5 Million into the City’s Section 115 Trust, proactively addressing long-term pension obligations and reinforcing the City’s commitment to responsible financial planning.
• Advancement of the Municipal Broadband Initiative, including approximately $17.4 million in infrastructure investment, positioning Fort Bragg for long-term economic development, digital equity, and modernized connectivity. • Adoption of the City’s Strategic Plan (2024–2028+), establishing a clear roadmap to guide policy decisions, capital investments, and organizational priorities over the coming years.
• Advancement of Housing Initiatives, including applying for the State’s Pro-Housing Designation, reinforcing the City’s commitment to reducing barriers and accelerating housing production.
• Approval of the Largest Housing Project in Decades, including an 83-unit development on South Main Street, with approvals secured from both the City Council and the California Coastal Commission. This project represents the first new x
market-rate housing on the coast in decades and is a significant step toward expanding housing options and increasing overall supply. • Completion of a Nexus Study for Capacity Fees, ensuring that development impact fees are legally defensible, aligned with growth, and supportive of infrastructure funding needs.
• Investment in the City’s Workforce, including the implementation of cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs)—among the most significant in recent years— to support employee retention, recruitment, and organizational stability. • Enhanced Employee Development and Organizational Culture, including expanded team building initiatives, staff training programs, and professional development opportunities, reinforcing the City’s commitment to investing in its people.
• Launch of the Volunteer Central Program, expanding opportunities for community members to engage in civic activities and strengthening partnerships between the City and residents.
• Investment in Accela Permitting Software, improving efficiency, transparency, and customer service through streamlined permitting and development processes. • Outsourcing of Building Inspections and Plan Check Services to 4Leaf, significantly improving permit processing timelines, increasing responsiveness, and enhancing service delivery for development projects. • Expanded Communication and Public Engagement Efforts, including the launch of the City Manager’s “CM Roundup” e-newsletter, enhancing transparency and keeping the community informed.
• Downtown Revitalization Initiatives, including beautification efforts, business support programs, and targeted economic development strategies to strengthen the Central Business District.
• Introduction and Growth of Community Events, including the Blues Festival, helping activate public spaces, support local businesses, and enhance Fort Bragg’s identity as a destination community.
Long-Term Financial Planning
The City continues to emphasize long-term financial planning through reserve policies, pension management strategies, capital planning, and multi-year forecasting. The City Council has maintained its commitment to key General Fund reserves and fiscal policies intended to support service continuity, respond to economic uncertainty, and preserve organizational flexibility.
The City’s financial policies are designed to maintain a financially viable local government, provide flexibility to adapt to economic changes, and preserve the City’s fiscal integrity.
These policies guide budgeting, reserves, debt management, capital financing, investments, cost allocation, accounting and financial reporting, and related fiscal practices. These policies continue to play a significant role in shaping the City’s financial condition and decisionmaking.
The City remains proactive in managing pension and other post-employment benefit obligations through long-term planning tools, including $3.5 million invested in the Section 115 trust and continued review of funding strategies. The Finance Department also continues to prepare and update a five-year General Fund forecast to support mid-year and annual xi
budget planning, helping identify opportunities and challenges before they materially affect service delivery.
Acknowledgments
The timely preparation of this report would not have been possible without the professionalism, diligence, and commitment of the City’s Finance Department and staff across the organization. I want to especially recognize our Assistant Finance Director Merilyn Tiriboyi and finance team for their work in preparing this report and maintaining strong financial reporting practices throughout the year.
I would also like to thank the Mayor and City Council for their continued leadership, support, and commitment to sound fiscal stewardship. Their policy direction and support have helped position the City to make meaningful investments while maintaining a strong financial foundation.
Fort Bragg continues to make progress in strengthening its financial position, investing in infrastructure, and preparing for the future. This report reflects that commitment and the work being done across the organization to responsibly serve our community.

1 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council City of Fort Bragg
Fort Bragg, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, the aggregate remaining fund information, and the budgetary comparison information of the City of Fort Bragg, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
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, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (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 and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis on pages 4–17, the Schedule of Changes in the Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios on page 94, the Net OPEB Liability Schedule of Contributions on page 96, the City’s Schedules of Contributions, Pensions on pages 97-98, and the Schedules of the City’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability on pages 99-100, 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 March 18, 2026, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of 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 March 18, 2026 JJACPA, Inc.

Additional information and analysis on the financial highlights follow in the sections and tables below.
OVERVIEW OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
This Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is in three major parts:
1) Introductory section, which includes the Transmittal Letter and general information; and, 2) Financial section, which includes the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (this part), the Basic Financial Statements, which include the Government-wide and the Fund Financial Statements along with the notes to these financial statements, and Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules. 3) Statistical section, which includes detailed information as a context for understanding what the information in the financial statements, and footnotes says about the City's overall financial health.
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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Continued
5 OVERVIEW OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT, Continued
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.
ו 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.
ו Business-type activities – All the City’s enterprise activities are reported here, including Water, Wastewater (Sewer), C.V. Starr Community Center and the newly established Broadband Fund. 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 Governmentwide 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.
Because the focus of the Governmental Fund Financial Statements is narrower than that of the Governmentwide 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.

6 OVERVIEW OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT, Continued
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City’s major funds are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS:
♦ General Fund
♦ CDBG Program Income Special Revenue
♦ Housing Successor Agency Special Revenue
♦ Prop 84 Special Revenue
♦ Other State Grants Special Revenue

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, 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 34.
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, C.V. Starr Center, and Broadband 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.
ENTERPRISE-TYPE FUNDS:
♦ Water enterprise Fund
♦ Wastewater enterprise Fund
♦ CV Starr Center enterprise Fund
♦ Broadband Fund
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements. The notes to the basic financial statements may be found on pages 49-91 of this report. Required Supplementary Information follows the notes on page 94.
Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds are presented on pages 103-121 of this report. Combining statements for internal services funds are presented on pages 123-125.

7 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. The following table represents a comparative analysis of governmental and business-type activities' net assets as of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024.

Summary of Net Position
Analysis of Net PosiƟon
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s total net position increased to $124.19 million, an increase of $14.33 million (13.0%) from the prior year. Both governmental and business-type activities contributed to this growth, driven largely by strong capital-related revenues and continued growth in enterprise operations. The specific revenue and expense factors underlying this year-over-year change are discussed in detail in the following sections of this report.
Net investment in capital assets increased by $19.85 million, reflecting significant infrastructure investment. Major capital outlays included:
Water Treatment Plant Upgrade: $8.37 million
Streets Project infrastructure improvements: $4.70 million Municipal Broadband Project: $3.02 million
Solar Project: $3.79 million
Restricted net position increased by $2.17 million, including $1.77 million contributed to the City’s Section 115 trust.

For the year ended June 30, 2025
Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Continued
8 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, continued
Unrestricted net position decreased from $6.98 million to $712,520, primarily due to higher long-term liabilities associated with new debt issuances (the 2025 Solar Equipment Lease Payable and the 2025 Broadband IPA Loan) and the reclassification of resources into restricted categories.
Despite these shifts, the City’s overall financial position strengthened significantly.
Analysis of Assets and Liabilities
Government-wide assets and deferred outflows increased from $139.93 million to $167.27 million, reflecting substantial growth in both restricted resources and capital investment. The primary drivers of this increase were:
Restricted cash and investments increased by $14.51 million, largely due to newly received, externally restricted proceeds from the Broadband IPA Loan and the Solar Equipment Capital Lease.
Because these proceeds are legally restricted for specific capital purposes, they expand the City’s restricted asset base rather than its discretionary resources. Capital assets increased by $19.76 million, with growth occurring across both activity types:
Governmental activities: $8.07 million
Business-type activities: $11.69 million
This growth reflects the major capital projects outlined in the Net investment in capital assets section, including the Water Treatment Plant Upgrade, Streets Project improvements, Municipal Broadband Project, and Solar Project.
Total liabilities and deferred inflows increased from $30.07 million to $43.08 million, primarily due to:
New long-term debt in both governmental and business-type activities associated with new debt issuances (the 2025 Solar Equipment Lease Payable and the 2025 Broadband IPA Loan).

Analysis of Statement of Activities
The Primary Government’s net position increased 13%, rising from $109.86 million to $124.19 million, primarily due to a substantial increase in capital grant revenue. The following table shows the revenue, expenses, and changes in net position for governmental and business-type activities:

Revenues
The City's total government-wide revenues increased from $30.02 million in fiscal year 2024 to $42.75 million in fiscal year 2025, a substantial increase of $12.73 million (42.4%). Revenues are divided into two categories:
program revenues and general.
Program revenues increased by $10.92 million (62%) compared to the prior year. The primary drivers of this growth were:

10 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, Continued
Program revenues had an overall decrease of $2.5 million or -12%, from the prior year.
1. Capital contributions and grants, which rose by $9.48 million, reflecting significant capital funding activity for the Water Treatment Plant Overhaul Project and the Raw Water Line Replacement Project.
2. Operating grants and contributions, which increased by $1.72 million. This was largely due to:
$1.29 million in reimbursement revenue for the Broadband Project through the Federal Funding Account grant, and
$524,229 in reimbursement revenue for the Water Meter Replacement Project, funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
General revenues had an overall increase of $1.81 million or 15%, ending the year at $14,211,501. The City’s 3 most significant general revenue sources - property taxes, sales & use tax, and transient occupancy tax - accounted for some of this change.
Property taxes increased by $88,106 (6%) reflecting continued stability and predictable growth in the City’s assessed valuation.
Sales & use tax increased by $633,000 (14%), compared to fiscal year 2024. Of this amount, $226,000 resulted from the voter-approved Measure T rate increase effective April 1, 2025. The remaining $407,000 reflects ongoing growth in taxable sales and inflationary price impacts. Transient occupancy tax (TOT) increased by $66,528, primarily due to the partial-year implementation of Measure U, which raised the TOT rate from 12% to 14% effective April 1, 2025.
Because the rate change applied to only one quarter of the fiscal year and lodging activity remained stable, the overall revenue impact was modest.

Expenses
In fiscal year 2025, the City’s governmental and business-type activity expenses totaled $28.42 million, an increase of $3.14 million, or 12%, compared to the prior fiscal year. The most significant increases occurred within business-type activities, primarily in the Wastewater Fund and the C.V. Starr Community Center, driven largely by higher pension expense. Pension expense rose due to the required GASB 68 actuarial adjustment, as updated CalPERS valuations reflected higher net pension liabilities and changes in deferred inflows and outflows of resources resulting from investment performance and revised actuarial assumptions.
These factors increased the amount of pension expense recognized under GASB 68 for the fiscal year. • Governmental expenses made up 59% of the total costs, amounting to $16.78 million, with public safety and public works being the largest components, followed by general government and community development.
• Business-type activities accounted for $11.64 million, or 41% of the City's total expenses for the fiscal year.

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. As of June 30, 2025, the City's governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $16.19 million, an increase of $669,615 from the previous year’s total of $15.52 million Governmental fund assets totaled $30.47 million, driven by cash and investments ($5.86 million), restricted cash and investments ($7.78 million), loans and notes receivable ($5.09 million), interest receivable ($4.38 million), due from other funds ($3.79 million), and other receivables ($3.18 million). The increase in restricted cash and investments reflects newly received, externally restricted proceeds from the Solar Equipment Capital Lease.
Governmental fund liabilities were $9.47 million, consisting mainly of due to other funds ($8.04 million), accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($1.07 million) and deposits payable ($155,065). The elevated due-to-other-funds balance reflects temporary financing for capital projects and timing differences in grant reimbursements.
Deferred inflows totaled $4.81 million, consisting of unavailable revenue from loans and notes receivable ($4.61 million) and other unavailable revenues ($201,407). These amounts represent resources not yet available for current spending, largely tied to long-term housing and community development loans.

Governmental fund Revenues & Expenditures
Governmental fund revenues totaled $30.98 million, while expenditures were $25.68 million, resulting in a $5.3 million excess of revenues over expenditures. Intergovernmental revenues were the largest source at $15.79 million, driven primarily by $10.41 million in grant-funded capital support for the Water Treatment Plant Overhaul and Raw Water Line Replacement projects. Taxes and assessments provided $9.06 million, reflecting continued strength in property, sales and use, and transient occupancy taxes.
On the expenditure side, capital outlay was the largest category at $10.08 million, followed by public safety ($5.24 million) and general government ($3.73 million). These expenditures reflect ongoing investment in infrastructure and continued support for core municipal services.
General Fund
The General Fund, the City’s primary operating fund, ended fiscal year 2025 with a balance of $8.83 million, a slight decrease of $347,581. This modest decline reflects normal operating activity and the timing of revenues. The General Fund also provided temporary financing for capital projects experiencing short-term cash deficits due to the lag between expenditures and grant reimbursements.
Despite the small decrease, the General Fund remains financially strong, supported by stable tax revenues and prudent expenditure management.
Enterprise Funds
The City operates four business-type activities: Water, Wastewater, the C.V. Starr Community Center, and the newly established Broadband Fund. As of June 30, 2025, total enterprise fund net position increased from $59.57 million to $72.94 million, an increase of $13.38 million. This increase is driven primarily by major capital investment in the Water Fund, including the Water Treatment Plant Overhaul ($8.37 million), Raw Water Line Replacement ($2.87 million), and Water Meter Replacement ($2.56 million). These projects represent significant reinvestment in the City’s core utility infrastructure and are expected to enhance long-term system reliability.
Water Fund
The Water Fund’s net position increased significantly to $30.02 million, up from $16.67 million. The increase is primarily attributable to the major capital projects noted above. Current assets decreased due to the use of cash for capital construction, while long-term liabilities decreased. A $13.04 million transfer in supported capital activity, resulting in a total increase in net position of $13.35 million.
Sewer Fund
The Sewer Fund’s net position decreased from $22.84 million to $21.47 million. Current assets declined slightly, and long-term liabilities decreased due to scheduled debt payments. The fund reported an operating loss of $1.31 million, primarily driven by changes in cost allocation methodology following an outsourced true-up process that applied a more streamlined approach.

15 FUND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, Continued
C.V. Starr Community Center Fund
The C.V. Starr Center Fund’s net position increased to $20.93 million, up from $20.06 million. Current assets increased, while capital assets remained stable. The fund reported an operating loss of $2.73 million, driven by higher personnel, administrative, and utility costs. Strong non-operating revenues including $1.35 million in sales tax, $326,804 in property tax, and $2.08 million in other non-operating revenues, offset the operating deficit. After a $393,794 transfer out, net position increased by $869,480.
Broadband Fund
The Broadband Fund was newly established in fiscal year 2025 and ended the year with a net position of $535,445, all restricted for debt service. The fund reflects initial capitalization of the broadband infrastructure program, including $8.42 million in restricted cash. No operating activity occurred, and capital assets have not yet been placed into service.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The fund financial statements detail a budget-to-actual comparison for the City's major governmental funds, illustrating compliance with City Council-authorized appropriations.
Fund Balance
The General Fund ended the fiscal year in a stronger position than anticipated in the final budget. While the budget projected a decrease in fund balance of approximately $2.0 million, the actual decrease was $347,581, resulting in an ending fund balance of $8.83 million, about $1.62 million higher than expected. This favorable outcome reflects both higher-than-budgeted revenues and lower-than-anticipated expenditures across several functional areas.
Revenues
Revenues exceeded the final budget by $1.08 million. The most significant positive variances occurred in reimbursements, and investment earnings, each outperforming expectations due to higher recoverable costs, and stronger investment returns. These gains offset shortfalls in intergovernmental revenues, which came in below budget primarily due to timing and availability of grant funding.
Expenditures
Expenditures were $1.48 million below the final budget. The variance was driven largely by the deferral of planned capital outlay, lower internal service cost allocations, and savings within public safety and public works operations. Most departments remained within their appropriations, and several achieved meaningful operational efficiencies during the year.
Other financing uses exceeded the budget due to higher transfers out to support other City funds; however, this impact was partially offset by higher-than-expected transfers in. Overall, the City’s conservative spending and stronger-than-anticipated revenue performance contributed to a year-end fund balance that positions the General Fund favorably for the upcoming fiscal year.

Capital Assets
At the end of fiscal year 2025, the City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities totaled $121.25 million, an increase of $19.76 million from the prior year. This investment in capital assets includes land, construction in progress costs, buildings, machinery and equipment, infrastructure, and land improvements, as shown in the chart below. Capital assets are reported net of accumulated depreciation.

The most significant changes occurred within construction in progress (CIP), which rose from $4.67 million to $8.59 million. This increase was driven primarily by two major projects: the Municipal Broadband Project, with current-year activity totaling $3.02 million, and the Citywide Solar Project, which added $3.79 million during the year. The increase in CIP was partially offset by the capitalization of the 2022 Streets Rehabilitation Project, which transferred $3.78 million out of CIP and into infrastructure upon completion.
For business-type activities, capital assets increased by $11.69 million, driven primarily by major capital investment in the Water Fund. Significant projects underway during the fiscal year included the Water Treatment Plant Overhaul ($8.37 million), the Raw Water Line Replacement ($2.87 million), and the Water Meter Replacement Program ($2.56 million).
Additional details on capital assets and related activities are presented in the notes to the financial statements.
Debt Administration
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s total outstanding long-term debt was $27.89 million, an increase of $15.55 million from the prior year. The increase reflects the City’s continued investment in major capital initiatives across both governmental and business-type activities.
During the year, the City issued two significant new debt instruments to support priority capital projects. For governmental activities, the City entered into the 2025 Solar Equipment Lease Payable, providing financing for the Citywide Solar Project. In addition, the 2025 Broadband IPA Loan was issued to advance the Municipal Broadband Project. These new obligations account for the majority of the year-over-year increase in outstanding debt.

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 28 City of Fort Bragg, California

Change in Net Position of governmental activities $ 949,884 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
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 assets:
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. 33 City of Fort Bragg, California

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2025
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.

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:
භ Government-wide financial statements,
භ Fund Įnancial statements, and
භ Notes to the Įnancial 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 housing rehabilitation and business loans provided with CDBG funding.
The Housing Successor Agency special revenue fund is used to account for activities related to housing activities of the former Fort Bragg Redevelopment Agency.
The Prop 84 Grant special revenue fund is used to account for funds received from the State of California for construction projects.
The Other State Grants special revenue fund is used to account for all other state grants.
The Other Capital Projects is a capital project fund used to account for costs associated with the construction or acquisition of governmental capital assets (capital outlay).
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.
The Broadband enterprise fund accounts for the construction, operations and maintenance of the City’s broadband utility.

52 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued C. Basis of Presentation, Continued
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, 2025
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 nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the 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, 2025
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.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2025
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 shortterm 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, 2025. 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.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2025
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, 2025, 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.

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 two items reported as a deferred outflow of resources. The first item is a deferred charge on the City’s portemployment benefits reported in the government-wide statement of net position. The second item is a deferred charge on the City’s pension plan reported 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 two 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 on the City’s pension plan 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 governmentwide level, and are described below:

58 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued G. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance, Continued
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 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.

59 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued G. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance, Continued
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. 11) Encumbrances
Encumbrances resulting from issuing purchase orders as a result of normal purchasing activities approved by appropriate authorities as of June 30, 2025, are summarized below.

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.
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
Vacation leave is accrued as a compensated absence to the extent that it is attributable to services already rendered, accumulates, and is more likely than not to be used or paid upon separation. The liability includes the City’s share of payroll-related costs. Regular employees earn vacation hours based on years of continuous service. Employees may accumulate up to 240 hours (340 hours after 10 years of continuous service).
Sick Leave
Sick leave is accrued as a compensated absence only to the extent that it is attributable to services already rendered, accumulates, and is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid or settled. Regular employees earn eight (8) hours of sick leave per month with unlimited accumulation.
Employees with two or more years of service who separate from City service, except in cases of discharge for cause, are entitled to payment equal to 30% of unused accumulated sick leave, up to a maximum of 1,000 hours. This estimated amount is included in the compensated absences liability, as it is considered more likely than not to be paid upon separation. 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 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.

62 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued 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 2024/25 no funds were opened or closed.
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, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024

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, 2025, 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 concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss that may be caused by the City’s investment in a single issuer. The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any single issuer beyond that stipulated by the California government code. Investments in the securities of any individual issuers, other than U.S. Treasury Securities, mutual funds and the California Local Agency Investment Fund, that represent 5 percent or more of the City’s total investments are as follows as of June 30, 2025:
Investment Type Fair Value Concentration

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, 2025, the carrying amount of the City’s cash deposits (including fiduciary funds) was $3,424,107 of which $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance per insured bank and $2,708,162 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, 2025, 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.
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).
Fair Value of Investments
The City measures and records its investments using fair value measurement guidelines established by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These guidelines recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy as follows:
• Level 1: Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets; • Level 2: Observable inputs other than those in Level 1; and • Level 3: Unobservable inputs.
Debt and equity securities classified as Level 1 are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. Debt and equity securities classified in Level 2 are valued using the following approaches: debt securities are normally valued based on price data obtained from observed transactions and market price quotations from broker dealers and/or pricing vendors; equity securities are valued using fair value per share for each fund. Certificates of deposit classified in level 2 are valued using broker quotes that utilize observable market inputs. Securities classified as Level 3 have limited trade information, these securities are priced or using the last trade price or estimated using recent trade prices.

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, 2025 was $24.49 billion of which the City had a balance of $1,630,050. LAIF is part of the California Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA), which at June 30, 2025 has a portfolio with market valuation including accrued interest of $178.1 billion. 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. recorded on an amortized cost basis.

78 10. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City of Fort Bragg is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the Member entity obtains insurance coverage.
The City of Fort Bragg is a member of the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA), a joint powers authority, which provides joint protection programs for public entities covering automobile, general liability, errors and omission losses, workers’ compensation, and property claims.
Under the General Liability program, the City of Fort Bragg has a $5,000 deductible, with CIRA responsible for losses above that amount up to $1 million. CIRA has additional coverage of $39 million in excess of its $1 million retention limit through affiliated risk management authorities. CIRA also provides $600 million aggregate property coverage to its members with such coverage provided by purchased insurance. Liabilities of the member entity are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The result of the process to estimate the claims liability is not an exact amount as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, and damage awards.
Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to consider the effects of economic and social factors. The estimate of the claims liability also includes amounts for incremental claim adjustment expenses related to specific claims and other claim adjustment expenses regardless of whether allocated to specific claims.
Estimated recoveries, for example, from salvage or subrogation, are another component of the claims liability estimate.
CIRA covers workers’ compensation claims for participating members up to its self-insurance limit of $500,000. Safety National and Gray Insurance Company provide excess coverage to statutory limits. Financial Statements of CIRA may be obtained from its administrative office located at 2330 E. Bidwell Street, Suite 150, Folsom, CA 95630; www.cira-jpa.org or by calling (916) 927-7727.

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, 2025, the contributions recognized as part of pension expense for each Plan were as follows:

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, 2025, 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, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2025 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 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, 2025 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 6.90 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 6.90 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 6.90 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, 2025, expenditures of $484,293 were recognized for the cost of these postretirement 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, 2025, the City’s cash contributions were $5,000 in payments to the trust, $444,293 cash benefit payments, and the estimated implied subsidy was $40,000 resulting in total payments of $489,293.
Net OPEB Liability
The City’s net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2025 and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2023 that was rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2025 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, 2025
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.

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, 2025 was $2,505,000.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2025
91 15. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The GASB has issued Statement No. 100, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—an amendment of GASB Statement No. 62." The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability. The implementation of this statement did not have an effect on the financial statements.
The GASB has issued Statement No. 101, "Compensated Absences." The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures. The implementation of this statement did not have an effect on the financial statements.
The GASB has issued Statement No. 102, “Certain Risk Disclosures.” The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by providing users of financial statements with essential information that currently is not often provided. The disclosures will provide users with timely information regarding certain concentrations or constraints and related events that have occurred or have begun to occur that make a government vulnerable to a substantial impact. As a result, users will have better information with which to understand and anticipate certain risks to a government’s financial condition. The implementation of this statement did not have an effect on the financial statements.
The GASB has issued Statement No. 103, “Financial Reporting Model Improvements.” The objective of this Statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability. This Statement also addresses certain application issues. The requirements of this Statement will take effect for financial statements starting with the fiscal year that ends June 30, 2026.
The GASB has issued Statement No. 104, “Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets.” The objective of this Statement is to improve the clarity and consistency of note disclosures related to capital assets by requiring governments to separately disclose certain types of capital assets, including lease assets, intangible right-to-use assets, subscription assets, and capital assets held for sale. These enhanced disclosures are intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the nature and composition of a government’s capital assets. The requirements of this Statement will take effect for financial statements starting with the fiscal year that ends June 30, 2026.

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.
