V LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Jerry Dyer Georgeanne A. White
Mayor City Manager
2600 Fresno Street, Suite 2156 - Fresno, California 93721-3622
March 19, 2026
The Honorable Mayor Jerry Dyer and Members of the City Council Distinguished Citizens of the City of Fresno
We are pleased to present the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Fresno, California (the “City”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (fiscal year 2024-2025), with the Independent Auditor’s Report, submitted in compliance with City Charter Section 804(c) and Section 1216. The ACFR has been prepared by the Finance Department in conformance with the principles and standards for financial reporting set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data, as well as the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. The existing comprehensive structure of internal accounting controls in the City provides reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. Since the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
The City recognizes that even sound internal controls have inherent limitations. We believe that the City's internal controls adequately safeguard assets, that the reported data is accurate in all material respects, and that its presentation fairly depicts the City’s financial position and changes in its financial position as measured by the financial activity of its various funds. We are confident that the included disclosures provide the reader with an understanding of the City’s financial affairs.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors, beginning on page 5.
CITY OF FRESNO | ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
VI LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL General Background
The City of Fresno is located near the geographical center of California, approximately 200 miles north of Los Angeles and 170 miles south of the State capital, Sacramento. The City has land area of 117.2 square miles. With over half a million residents, (557,032 as of January 1, 2025), Fresno is the 5th largest city in California by population, and 35th largest in the nation. The City is part of the Fresno-Clovis metropolitan area, which is the second largest metropolitan area in the Central Valley after Sacramento.
With its close proximity to Yosemite National Park (60 miles), Fresno also serves as gateway to Sequoia National Park (75 miles), Sierra National Forest (40 miles) and Kings Canyon National Park (75 miles).
Named for the abundant ash trees lining the San Joaquin River, Fresno was founded in 1872 as a railway station of the Central Pacific Railroad before it was incorporated in 1885.
Government and Budget
The City operates under the strong-Mayor form of government. Under this form of government, the Mayor serves as the City’s Chief Executive Officer, appointing and overseeing the City Manager, recommending legislation, and presenting the annual budget to the City Council (Council).
The budget of the City, within the meaning and context of Section 1205 of the City’s Charter, must be adopted by Council resolution no later than June 30th of a given year.
CITY OF FRESNO | ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
VII LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL As provided by Section 1206 of the Charter, any adjustments in the amounts appropriated for the purposes indicated at the department/fund level shall be made only upon a motion to amend the resolution adopted by the affirmative votes of at least five Council members. Administrative changes within the department/fund level may be made without approval of Council within written guidelines established by the City Manager.
Industry and Economy
The Fresno Metropolitan Statistical Area continues to see increasing number of industrial, manufacturing and service industries moving to the region. Additionally, Fresno is the economic hub of Fresno County and the San Joaquin Valley, with much of the surrounding areas in the Metropolitan region tied to large- scale agricultural production. While agriculture still makes up a large component of the region's employment base (12.4% of jobs), the Fresno economy continues to diversify, as evidenced by the fact that services (28.5% of jobs) and government (19.4% of jobs) employ more people than agriculture.

Distribution continues to play a growing role in the City's economy, as evidenced by the Old Navy Pacific Distribution Center, the Ulta Beauty Fulfillment Center, and the Amazon Fulfillment Center. Public sector and healthcare employment continue to be major contribut ors to the City’s economy. The following table lists the principal employers of the City:

Economic Overview
Agriculture remains one of the backbones of the Fresno area's economy and continues to be robust. Fresno County’s agricultural strength rests in its diversity with more than 300 different commodities providing gross production of $9.0 billion in 2024, an increase of 5.7% from 2023.
Almonds took the lead on Fresno County's Top Ten crop ranking with $1.5 billion gross value in 2024, followed by grapes at $1.0 billion.
Fresno County continues to supply the highest-qua lity agricultural products nationwide and abroad.
California produces most of the grapes grown in the United States with a significant percentage of raisins coming from Fresno County.

X LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Local economic improvements were similarly on display when considering key City of Fresno finance indicators, as summarized below, though fiscal year 2025 revenues and expenses reflect a modest decrease from the prior year:
• Total Assets increased $268.9 million (5.4%) from the fiscal year 2024 year-end Total Assets balance of $4.99 billion.
• Revenues decreased $121.1 million (-8.24%) from Revenues for fiscal year 2024, which totaled $1.47 billion.
• Expenses decreased $168.0 million (-13.5%) to $1.01 billion. • Total Net Position increased $271.3 million (8.3%) from fiscal year 2024’s total of $3.27 billion.
Summarized below are key metrics reflecting changes within the City's General Fund:
• Total Assets increased $12.7 million (7.1%) over the fiscal year 2024 Total Assets year-end balance of $178.7 million. An increase in Accounts Receivable of $8.1 million, along with a $2.4 million rise in Intergovernmental Receivable, was the primary driver of the overall growth in Total Assets. • Total Liabilities increased $7.5 million (18.0%) from the fiscal year 2024 year-end Total Liabilities of $41.5 million. A $6.9 million increase in Accrued Liabilities was the primary reason for this increase.
• Revenues increased $18.8 million (4.1%) from fiscal year 2024’s Revenues of $459.0 million. This was primarily related to Property Tax, which increased by $11.9 million (6.6%) over fiscal year 2024. • Expenditures increased by $10.2 million (2.2%) from the fiscal year 2024 level of $457.1 million.
Growth in Community Development and Public Ways and Facilities spending were the primary drivers of the overall increase in General Fund expenditures.
These results and others are discussed in greater detail in the Management’s Discussion & Analysis, which begins on page 5.

XI LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL How Fresno Compares to the 25 Largest California Cities
Although the City of Fresno’s financial position has continued to strengthen, it still trails other large California cities in the level of resources available to support its residents. As shown in the table on page VII, the gap between Fresno’s population ranking and its assets per capita remains one of the widest among the state’s 25 largest cities. Fresno’s standing is further influenced by the presence of a Net Pension Asset—an advantage unique among the cities surveyed—which elevates the City’s reported asset levels.
Even with this benefit, the City continues to face a structural disadvantage in its ability to provide services, as the overall asset base remains insufficient to fully and efficiently meet community needs. Maintaining disciplined fiscal management is therefore essential. The City must continue its long-term strategy to build and preserve all asset categories, with particular focus on strengthening cash reserves and investing in capital assets.
Certificate of Achievement
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This was the 32
nd consecutive year that the City has achieved this prestigious national award. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR whose contents conform to program standards. The ACFR must satisfy both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of only one year. We believe that our current annual comprehensive financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements, and are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.

XIII LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Acknowledgments
The preparation of the City of Fresno’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) represents a major collaborative effort and reflects the dedication of many individuals across the organization. Producing a report of this scope requires sustained focus, technical expertise, and a strong commitment to accuracy.
The Finance Department staff demonstrated all of these qualities, working diligently throughout the year and navigating complex challenges to ensure the successful completion of the ACFR.
Recognition is also due to the numerous City departments whose partnership was essential to assembling the financial statements. Their timely responses, thoughtful contributions, and careful review of information played a critical role in maintaining the integrity and com pleteness of the report. This cross-departmental cooperation underscores the shared responsibility we hold in presenting transparent and reliable financial information to the community.
Appreciation is also extended to The Pun Group for their professional guidance and support during the preparation of the ACFR. In addition, sincere thanks are also due to the Mayor, the City Council, and the City Manager’s Office for their continued leadership and commitment to strong financial stewardship.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund 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 prin ciples generally accepted in the United States of America.
We did not audit the financial statements of the Successor Agency to the Fresno Re development Agency Private- Purpose Trust Fund (Successor Agency), the Low and Moderate Income Housing Special Revenue Fund (Low and Moderate Income Housing), the Fire and Police Retirement System Pension Trust Fund (Fire and Police Pension Trust), or the Employees Retirement System Pension Trust Fund (Employee Pension Trust) which collectively represent the following percentages of assets/deferred outflows of resources, net position/fund balance, and revenues/additions of the following opinion unit as of June 30, 2025:
Assets/
Deferred Ouflows Net Position/ Revenues/
Opinion Unit of Resources Fund Balance Additions
Aggregate Remaining Fund Information 88.47% 96.27% 87.18%
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinions, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Successor Agency, Low and Moderate Income Housing, Fire and Police Pension Trust, and Employee Pension Trust, are based solely on the report of the other auditors.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to fi nancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards , issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under tho se standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements secti on of our report. We are requi red 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.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Fresno
Fresno, California
2 Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the prep aration and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stat es 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 wh ether 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.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whet her the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, a nd 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 auditing standards ge nerally accepted in the United States of America 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 ove rride of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial like lihood 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America 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 t hose 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 purpo se 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.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Fresno
Fresno, California
3 Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Budgetary Comparison Schedules, Schedule of Investment Returns, Schedules of Changes in Net Pension Liability (Asset) and Related Ratios, Schedules of Contributi ons – Pension, and Schedule of Changes in Total OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, as listed in the accompanying ta ble of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Boar d who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appr opriate operational, economic, or histori cal 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 inqui ries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the informa tion for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual Non-major Fund Financial Statements and Schedules, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The informa tion 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 underlyi ng 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 Non-Major Fund Financial Statements and Schedules are fairly st ated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory and Statistical Sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statemen ts, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistenc y exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially mi sstated. 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.

4 Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we have also issued our repor t dated March 19, 2026, on our consideration of 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 r esults of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
5 CITY OF FRESNO, CALIFORNIA
This section of the City of Fresno’s (City) Annual Co mprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) presents a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The reader is encouraged to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the City’s financial statements, which follow this section, and the additional information that is furnished in the letter of transm ittal at the front of this report. This discussion and analysis provide comparisons primarily for th e previous two years, but it may include more extensive comparisons in some instances.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets of the City surpassed $5.00 billion, reaching a total of approximately $5.26 billion.
• Overall, the City experienced a decline in revenue driven primarily by a combined $145.0 million (-27.4%) decrease in Operating Grants, Capital Grants, and Contributions. However, the City also experienced a $161.7 million (-19.6%) reduction in governmental activities. With these changes and prudent strategic planning, the City’s net position increased by $273.8 million (8.4%), reaching $3.54 billion.
• The City continues to record a Net Pension Asset. For fiscal year 2025, the Net Pension Asset was $347.6 million, an increase of $51.2 million (17.3%). The City of Fresno remains one of very few government entities in the country with a Net Pension Asset.
OVERVIEW OF FISCAL YEAR 2025 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Management's Discussion and Analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements, which consist of three components: (1) Government-Wide Financial Statements , (2) Fund Financial Statements and (3) Notes to the Financial Statements. This report also contains other Supplementary Information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-Wide Financial Statements are designed to provide long-term a nd short-term information about the City’s overall financial status in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
• The Statement of Net Position presents information on all assets/ deferred outflows of resources and liabilities/deferred inflows of resources. The difference be tween them is reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position ma y serve as a useful indicator of whether the City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating.
• The Statement of Activities shows how the net position changed dur ing the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future periods. Examples include revenues pertaining to uncollected taxes and fees and expenses pertaining to earned but unused vacation and sick leave.
Both of the Government-Wide Financial Statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and inter-governmental revenues (Governmental Activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (Business-Type Activities). The Governmental Activities of the City include general government, public protection, public ways and facilities, culture and recreation, and community development. The Business-Type Activities of the City include two airports, public transportation system, water, sewer, solid waste, community sanitation, convention center, and stadium.

6 The Government-Wide Financial Statements include not on ly the City (known as the primary government), but also legally separate component units including the Fresno Joint Powers Financing Authority, City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System, City of Fresno Employees Retirement System, City of Fresno Employees Healthcare Plan, and Fresno Revitalization Corporation. The co mponent units have been “blended” in to the City’s financial statements because the governing board (although legally separate from the City) is substantia lly the same as the City’s, or they provide services entirely or almost exclusively for the bene fit of the City even though they do not provide services directly to the City.
As of February 1, 2012, a Successor Agency was created to replace the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fresno (RDA). Dissolution law provided that th e Successor Agency would pay all “enfor ceable obligations” of the former RDA. The Successor Agency is consid ered a separate legal entity under Assembly Bill (AB) 1484 for financial presentation purposes. Effective June 30, 2012, the Successor Agency was reported as a Private-Purpose Trust Fund.
This means that the Successor Agency’s assets are considered to be held in a trustee or agency capacity for others and therefore cannot be used to support the City’s own programs.
The Government-Wide Financial Statements can be found on pages 30-33 of this report.
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. They are used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives and to ensure compliance with finance-related legal requirements. They can be divided into three categories:
• Governmental Funds are used to account for essentially the same f unctions reported as Governmental Activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements (i.e., most of the City’s basic services are reported in Governmental Funds). These statements, however, focus on (1) how cash and other financial assets can be readily converted to available resources, and (2) the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. Such information may be useful in determining what financial resources are available in the near future to finance the City’s programs.
Because the focus of Governmental Funds Financial Stat ements is narrower than that of the Government-Wide Financial Statements, it is helpful to compare the info rmation presented for Governmental Funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between Governmental Funds and Governmental Activities. These reconciliations may be found on pages 40 and 42.
The City maintains several individual Governmental Funds organized according to their type: general fund, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund and Grants Special Revenue Fund (which are considered to be major funds). Data from the remaining Governmental Funds are combined into a single, aggregat ed presentation. Individual fund data for each of the Non-major Governmental Funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget. The City’s budget reflects its priorities and plans for taxpayers/ratepayers resources. Budgetary comparison sch edules for the General Fund and the Grants Special Revenue Fund demonstrate compliance with the budget, and also reflect where actual results deviated from expected budgetary estimates.

7 • Proprietary Funds are generally used to account for services for which the City charges customers (either outside customers, or internal units or departments of the City ). Proprietary Funds provide the same type of information as shown in the Government-Wide Financial Statements: albeit in more detail. Proprietary Funds (Enterprise and Internal Service) utilize the same method used by th e private sector businesses: the accrual basis of accounting.
The City maintains the following two types of Proprietary Funds:
† Enterprise Funds are used to report the same functions as Business-Type Activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The City uses Enterprise Funds to account for the operations of the Public Utilities [Water System, Sewer System, Solid Waste Management ], Fresno Area Express [ Transit], Fresno International Airport (FYI) and the Fresno Chandler Downtown Airport (FCH) [Airports], Fresno Convention Center, and Chukchansi Park Stadium [ Stadium], all of which are considered to be major funds of the City.
Community Sanitation and Parks and Recreation are considered to be Non-major Enterprise Funds of the City.
† Internal Service Funds are used to report activities that provide supplies and services for certain City programs and activities. The City uses Internal Service Funds to account for its fleet of vehicles, management information systems, property maintenance, and electronics/communication support ( General Services ); self-insurance (Risk Management ); billing, collecting, and servicing activities for the Water, Sewer, Solid Waste and Community Sanitation Funds ( Billing and Collection ); and healthcare plans ( Employees Healthcare Plan, Retirees Healthcare Plan, Blue Collar Employees Healthcare Plan ). Because Risk Management, General Services and the healthcare plans predominantly benefit Governmental rather than Business-Type functions, they have been included within Governmental Acti vities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements, whereas Billing and Collection is included in the Busi ness-Type Activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The Internal Service Funds are combined into a single, aggreg ated presentation in the Proprietary Fund Financial Statements. Individual Fund data for the Internal Service Funds is provided in the form of combining statements.
† Fiduciary Funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City. Since the resources of Fiduciary Funds are not available to support the City’s own programs, they are not reflected in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The accounting used for Fiduciary Funds is much like that used for Proprietary Funds. The City maintains three types of Fiduciary Funds:
† Pension Trust Funds consist of funds for Fire and Police and other Employees.
† Private-Purpose Trust Fund is used to account for the assets and liabilities held in trust for the Successor Agency to the former RDA.
† Custodial Funds consist of funds used to account for City-rela ted trust activity, such as payroll withholding and bid deposits. Custodial Funds also include Speci al Assessment Funds that account for debt service transactions involving special assessment districts within the City.
The basic financial statements can be found on pages 30-33 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to the full understanding of the data provided in all of the financial statements. The Notes to the Financial Statements can be found on pages 65-146 of this report.

Additionally, some projects were either scaled back or adjusted to align with changing priorities, leading to lower than expected costs.
Community
Development
$74,127
$77,851
$47,742

21 Airports
Airports' Fund set an all-time annual record for passenger levels with fiscal year 2025’s origin and destination passengers of 2.7 million, 5.1% higher than the prior fiscal year. In addition, the number of plane landings increased by 114.8%, going from 16,527 in fiscal 20 24 to 18,973 in fiscal year 2025. Th e Airport Fund's passenger performance continues to outpace other small hub airports in the Western Pacific Region. The increase in passengers also translated into an increase in non-airline revenues.
The increase in passenger traffic had an impact on Operating Revenues, which increased $5.1 million (12.7%) to $45.4 million. The overall increase in Operating Revenues was powered by increases in passenger driven and airline activity revenues, particularly Landing Fees, which rose to $8.0 million, a 47.3% increase from $5.4 million in the prior fiscal year. Operating Expenses increased by $6.8 million (17.8%), to a total of $ 44.8 million. The increase in Operating Expenses was mainly driven by an increase of $7.8 million (95.2%) in Contractual Services and a $1.1 million (10.49%) increase in Personnel Service expenses. The increase in Operating Expenditures was offset by a $4.3 million (28.7%) increase in Non-Operating Expenditures, mainly due to a decrease of $4.0 million (56.9%) in Interest Expense.
The increase in revenues and expenses ha d a predictable effect on Total Assets, which increased $41.0 million (9.9%) to $456.1 million. The overall increase in Total Assets was due to several factors:
• A $59.5 million (74.4%) increase in Construction in Progress, • A $12.7 million (24.8%) increase in Cash and Investments, • A $3.0 million (79.7%) increase in Accounts Receivable, Net. • A $23.8 million (23.5%) decrease in Restricted Cash, and • A $11.5 million (6.6%) decrease in Accumulated Depreciation
In addition to the increase in Total Assets, Airports experienced an increase in Total Liabilities, which rose $7.3 million (4.3%) to $174.7 million. This increase was primarily dr iven by a $4.2 million (33.7%) increase in Accounts payable compared to the prior year’s balance of $12.4 million. These increases were partia lly offset by a $3.9 million (2.7%) decrease in Long-Term Bonds Payable from the fiscal year 2024 balance of $144.2 million, due to the Airport Revenue Bonds 2023 A and B issued for the terminal expansion.
The net effect of these changes resu lted in the Total Net Position increasi ng by $34.8 million (14.6%), rising from $238.3 million in fiscal year 2024 to $273.1 million in fiscal year 2025.
Fresno Convention Center
Fresno Convention Center recorded $5.3 million of revenue in fiscal year 2025, a $0.66 million (1.2%) decrease from the fiscal year 2024 total of $5.4 million. Operating Expenditures increased in fiscal year 2025 to $8.7 million, up from $8.6 million in fiscal year 2024, an increase of $0.14 million (1 .6%). The rise in expenditures was driven primarily by a $0.11 million (3.8%) increase in Personnel Services and a $0.05 million (1.4%) increase in Contractual Services.
The Fresno Convention Center's Net Position increased from $5.5 million in fiscal year 2024 to $5.7 million in fiscal year 2025, reflecting a $0.15 million (2.8%) improvement.

Net Position increased from $12.1 million in fiscal year 2024 to $12.8 milli on in fiscal year 2025, an improvement of $0.7 million (5.6%). This improvement was driven by a decrease in Long-Term Debt of $2.3 million (14.7%) resulting from annual debt principal payments. This improvement was partially offset by a $0.89 million (3.1%) decrease in Capital Assets.
Internal Service Funds
The Net Position deficit in the Internal Service Funds grew by $8.6 million (7.9%) to $116.3 million in fiscal year 2025.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
24 At June 30, 2025, the City had commitm ents related to various construction projects associated with Governmental Activities totaling $87.8 million. Commitments connected w ith Business-Type Activities at fiscal year-end amounted to $149.0 million. The most significant of the Governmental Activities project was the Citywide Senior Center project ($27.1 million). The most significant of the Business-Type Activities projects were Phase 2 of the FYI Terminal Expansion ($48.3 million) and the Fire Station #12 Relocation project ($14.3 million). A complete list of projects appear in Note 13(F) - Commitments and Contingencies, page 162, under Construction and Other Significant Commitments.
Debt Administration
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had total long-term bond obliga tions and notes and leases/subscriptions payable outstanding of $873.6 million. Of this amount, $72.3 million is obligati on bonds backed by the full faith and credit of the City, $654.7 million is revenue bonds and notes of the City’s business enterprises and $896 thousand are tax allocation debt issued by the Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency. The remaining $145.7 million includes lease revenue bonds, notes and capital leases for gene ral governmental projects. For detailed information on the City's debt, see Note 6-Long Term Liabilities, pages 101-113.
During fiscal year 2025, the City’s total bonded debt decreased by approximately $17 million. The decrease was due to normal debt service payments and a $4.5 million increase in capital financed purchases made during the year.
The City took the following actions in fiscal year 2025:
• Borrowed an additional $18.2 million through the Master Equipment Lease Purchase Agreement with Banc of America Public Capital Corp. in fiscal year 2025 for public safety vehicles. • The Sewer Division obtained $23.4 m illion in financing during fiscal year 2025 from Flagstar Funding Corp. to support energy-efficiency upgrades and critical infrast ructure improvements at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The ratio of net general obligation bonded debt to taxable valuation and the amount of bonded debt per capita are useful indicators of the City’s debt position to management, citizens, and investors.
A comparison of these indicators follows (as stated in thousands):
Fiscal Year
2025 2024 2023
General Bonded Debt (Par Amount) $55,400 $67,190 $78,255 General Bonded Debt per Capita $100.71 $122.84 $142.48
Debt Service Tax Rate per $100 Taxable Valuation $0.11 $0.14 $0.17
The City's outstanding general obligatio n bonds cannot exceed 20% of the assessed value of property within the City.
Although the City's Charter imposes a statutory limit on th e amount of general obligatio n bonds the City can have outstanding, the City also considers the potential impacts of all general obligation bonds on its tax base. Currently, there are no outstanding general obligation bonds.
Fitch’s May 3, 2024 upgrades of the City’s Lease Revenue Bond rating from A to AA and its General Obligation rating from A+ to AA remain in place, with bo th ratings continuing to hold a Stable outlook. Over the past year, Fitch has maintained its positive view of the City’s financial position. Similarly, Standard & Poor’s reaffirmation of the Airport bonds’ A rating on April 26, 2024 has remained unchanged throughout the year.
City of Fresno
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
25 The rating continues to be supported by an increase in enplanement performance, with passenger boardings rising from
2.4 million to 2.6 million, along with solid liquidity levels and a manageable debt burden. Over the past year, the City’s financial position remained positive, supported by ongoing development activity and continued economic diversification—particularly within lo gistics and fulfillment operations—which ar e expected to contribute to long-term revenue stability. The City’s long-term liability profile also remains strong, reinforced by low pension liabilities.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
The City continued to demonstrate solid performance desp ite ongoing uncertainties. Property taxes are a source of stable revenue generation a nd continue to show sustained growth. Si milarly, sales tax revenues show continued resilience despite economic challenges in the region. This performance is expected to carry over into fiscal year 2026, though the city acknowledges growing uncertainties remain.
While the local and national economic landscape remains uncer tain, the City's financial management practices will continue to remain crucial in maintaining stability. By employing disciplined financial policies such as implementing recurring cost controls, the City is poised to manage financial pressures well. The Fresno region has demonstrated strong foundational performance and continued e volution for support innovation and infrastructure, but it’s important to acknowledge risks remain. Risks associated with geopolitical tensions and federal policy are ever present and looming impacts exist for the region’s employment, housing and c onsumer spending activity. These conditions underscore the importance of prudent financial manage ment with a sound reserve management policy. The City concluded the 2025 fiscal year with a $47.6 million General Fund Emergency Reserve. This reserve provides a foundation for managing economic uncertainties and allows for a proactive response to unexpected fiscal challenges. The City's prudent approach to budgeting and planning ensures that it remains well-positioned to handle unforeseen economic shifts.
The City will continue to m onitor sources with particular expertise of influencing factors that may effect the fiscal condition and outlook of economic activity . Publications provided by the Legislative Analyst's Office, the UCLA Anderson Forecast and others provide invaluable insights that help shape planning. As the national and local economies adjust to evolving conditions, the City remains committed to preserving its financial health, supporting its residents, and maintaining its status as a thriving and resilient city.
Fiscal year 2025 continued to reflect ongoing financial stability . While this is promising, there are still risks ahead.
Alongside the national economic challenges mentioned earlier, there are substantial geopolitical factors that pose risks to economic growth. These challenges are significant and will continue to play a key role in shaping future planning as the City works to ensure a high level of services for its residents.

City of Fresno
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
65 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the City of Fresno (City) have been prepared in conform ity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standa rd-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
The more significant accounting policies of the City are described below.
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City is a political subdivision chartered by the State of California and, as such, can exercise the powers specified by the Constitution and laws of the State of California. The City operates under its own Charter and is governed by a directly elected strong Mayor and a seven-member City Council (Council). The City Manager serves as the head of the administrative branch of the City and is appointed by the Mayor.
As required by GAAP, these basic financial statements presen t the financial status of the City (the primary government) and its component units (entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable). The blended component units, alt hough legally separate entities, are substantia lly part of the City's operations. Thus, data from these units are combined with data of the primary government.
As a government agency, the City is exempt from both federal income taxes and state franchise taxes.
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
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 th e primary government and its blended component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the consolidation pro cess. Governmental Activities, which normally are supported by taxes and inter-governmental revenues, are reported separ ately from Business-Type Activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to whic h the clearly identifiable direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, serv1ices, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not include d among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Each fund was establishe d for the purpose of accounting for specific activities in accordance with applicable regulations, restrictions, or lim itations. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds (though the latter are excluded from the Government- Wide Financial Statements). Major individual governme ntal funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported by separate columns in the Fund Financial Statements.

66 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The Government-Wide, Proprietary Fund, and Trust Fund 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 have been met. Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non- operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the fund’s principal, ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and for services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues ar e 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. The City considers property tax revenues, local taxes, licenses, interest, and other intergovernmental revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measura ble and available only when the City receives cash. Expenditures gene rally are recorded when a liability is incurred. However, debt service, vacation, sick leave, claims and judgments expenditures are recorded only when paym ent is due. Prepaids are reported using the purchases method.
Major governmental funds of the City are outlined below:
General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Grants Special Revenue Fund accounts for grants received from federal, state, and other agencies, which are to be used for various purposes identified within the confines of the individual grant.
Major proprietary funds of the City are outlined below:
Water System Fund accounts for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the City's water distribution system. Revenues are derived from water service fees and various installation charges.
Sewer System Fund accounts for the construction, operation, a nd maintenance of the City's sewer system.
Revenues are derived from sewer service fees and various installation charges.
Solid Waste Management Fund accounts for the operations of the City 's residential solid waste disposal service. Revenues are primarily derived from solid waste service fees.
Transit Fund accounts for the operation and maintenance of th e City's mass transportation service. Primary revenue sources are rider fares, federal grants, and state operating grants.

While there is only one plan, there is separate accounting for active employees and retirees. There are no standalone financial reports issued for either Healthcare Plan Fund.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Fiduciary Funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary Funds are not reflected in the Government-Wide Financial Statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. The accounti ng used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for other Proprietary Funds.
The City Departmental and Special Purpose Fund account fo r City-related trust activity, such as fees collected for other entities. The Special Assessments District Fund accounts for the receipts and disbursements for the debt service activity of bonded assessment districts within the City. Custodial Funds use the economic resources measurement focus. Custodial Fund Financial Statements use the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. When both restricted and unrestri cted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Fiduciary funds of the City are outlined below:
Pension Trust Funds account for the assets held on behalf of the City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System and the City of Fresno Employees Retirement System for pension benefit payments to qualified employees and retirees. Pension Trust Funds are acc ounted for in essentially the same manner as other Proprietary Funds. The City has the following Pension Trust Funds as of June 30, 2025.
City of Fresno Fire and Police Retirement System (Fire and Police): Fire and Police was established on July 1, 1955, to provide benefits to the public saf ety employees and retirees of the City. Fire and Police is maintained and governed by Articles 3 and 4 of Chap ter 3 of the Fresno Municipal Code. Fire and Police responsibilities include: administration of the trust fund; delivery of retirement, death and disability benefits to eligible members; administration of programs; and general assistance in retirement and related benefits.
The governing board is made up of two members appo inted by the Mayor, an elected police member, an elected fire member and a board-appointed member.
The activity for Fire and Police is reflected within Fiduciary Funds. Separate financial statements are prepared for the Fire and Police Retirement System and may be obtained from the Retirement Office at 2828 Fresno Street, Fresno, CA 93721-3604 or at https://www.cfrs-ca.org/fire-and-police-retirement- system/financial/.
City of Fresno Employees Retirement System (Employees): Employees was established on June 1, 1939, to provide benefits to the gene ral employees and retirees of the City . Employees is governed by Article 5 of Chapter 3 of the Fresno Municipal Code. Employees responsibilities include: administration of the trust fund; delivery of retirement, disability, and death benefits to eligible members; administration of programs; and general assistance in retirement and related bene fits. The governing board is made up of two Mayor- appointed members, two elected members and one board-appointed member. The activity for Employees is reflected within Fiduciary Funds. Separate fi nancial statements are prepared for the Employees Retirement System and may be obtained from the Re tirement Office at 2828 Fresno Street, Fresno, CA 93721-3604, or at https://www.cfrs-ca.org/employee-retirement-system/ers-financial/.

D. Component Units
In addition to the primary governmental unit, the City also has several component units whose functions are described below:
Blended Component Units
Although the following component units are legally sep arate from the City, the component units have been "blended" into the City's basic financial statements for financial reporting purposes because the governing board is substantially the same as the City Council, there is a fi nancial benefit/burden relationship between the component unit and the City, or City management has the operational responsibility for the component unit. In addition, the component unit provides services exclusively to the prim ary government or the component unit’s total debt outstanding is expected to be repaid with resources of the primary government.
All potential component units were evaluated, resulting in the inclusion of the following entities in the basic financial statements.
Fresno Joint Powers Financing Authority (Authority): The Authority, an independe nt public entity created in 1988, acquires telecommunications equipment, office furniture, and str eetlights; constructs facilities; and installs street improvements through the issuance of lim ited obligation bonds, certificates of participation and revenue bonds. The Authority currently is leasing these assets to the City. The Au thority’s three member governing board, consisting of the Mayo r and two Council Members, is responsible for the Authority’s fiscal and administrative decisions. The financial activity for th e Authority is included in the Financing Authorities and Corporations Debt Service Fund. All lease obligati ons between the Authority and the City have been eliminated in the financial statements. The Authority does not issue separate financial statements.
City of Fresno Employees Healthcare Plan: This component unit provides healthcare to City employees not represented by the Stationary Engineers Local and retired employees who elect to be covered or are covered by the Fresno City Employees Health and Welfare Trusts (Trusts). The Trusts are self-insured trusts administered by an outside third party administrator. The activity for the Trusts is reflected within Internal Service Funds.
Fresno Revitalization Corporation: The Fresno Revitalization Corporation (FRC) is a non-profit public benefit corporation created in 1995 for the purpose of devel oping a revitalization policy and assisting with the downtown Fresno area development, redevelopment and renewal. The or ganization received a substantial portion of its support from the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and the general public. The seven Council Members of the City and the Mayor became members of the FRC’s Governing Board on January 26, 2012.
FRC Canyon Crest, LLC: FRC Canyon Crest, LLC is a special purpose limited liability company owned by the FRC. The purpose of FRC Canyon Crest, LLC was to acquire, operate, mainta in, and rehabilitate a 118- unit low income multi-family comple x. The complex was owned by a lender in Chicago as a result of a foreclosure of the previous owner. On March 4, 2010, the City Council approved the award of $2.7 million in Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) set aside funds to the FRC to acquire the property. FRC Canyon Crest, LLC acquired the property, while the RDA guaranteed the loan from the seller. The RDA also provided administrative, financial, and technical support to FRC Canyon Crest, LLC in the acquisition and operation of the property through a contractual services agreement. The Agency Loan Guarantee and Operating Agreement also contained a Declaration of Restrictions creating the affordability covenants and long-term maintenance and operating restrictions, which were recorded against and run with the property.

D. Component Units (Continued)
Blended Component Units (Continued)
The RDA and FRC Canyon Crest, LLC marketed the property for sale upon rehabilitation and stabilization to a qualified affordable housing de veloper for ongoing management and property improvements. In September 2011, the FRC and FRC Canyon Crest, LLC en tered into an Assignment/Assumption Agreement with a developer as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Final purchase of the property by the developer occurred on April 2012. However, the FRC and FRC Canyon Crest, LLC still hold a $500,000 residual receipts note on the property.
As the City is the sole member of FRC Canyon Crest , LLC, the seven City Council members and the Mayor are Board members of FRC Canyon Crest, LLC, the activities of FRC Canyon Crest, LLC are blended into the FRC (and, by extension, the City) because: (1) its governing board is substantially the same as the City Council; (2) it provides services exclusively or almost exclusiv ely for the benefit of the City even though it does not provide services directly to the City; and (3) the City is financially accountable for FRC Canyon Crest, LLC.
Fresno Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (Fresno EIFD) : On September 17, 2020, the Fresno City Council approved the creation of the Fresno EIFD. The Fresno EIFD is intended to serve as a catalyst for private sector investment and critical infrastructure in the City’s Downtown Planning Area and the southern portion of the Blackstone Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor as characterized in the City General Plan.
The Fresno EIFD encompasses approximately 4,237 acres of land, representing approximately 5.8% of the City’s total (approximately) 73,400 acres. The Fresno EIFD obtains its funding through property tax increment that is generated above the base fiscal year (2021) amount of property tax. The Fresno EIFD intends to utilize the tax increment revenue stream to issue bonds th at will fund approximately $100 million (present value dollars) in multi-modal transportation, mobility, and re lated improvements, including but not limited to the following:
Safety and accessibility improvements for car, bicycle, and pedestrian travel modes. Roadway and bus infrastructure investments.
Streetscape, urban greening, and lighting enhancements. Improved gateway and wayfinding signage.
The Fresno EIFD is governed by a five member board, which is made up of three City councilmembers and two appointed members of the public that live within the Fresno EIFD.
While there are no financial results from the Fresno EIFD in the Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), there will be results in future fiscal years as the district receives tax increment, issues bonds, and completes projects. The Fresno EIFD will be reported as a Debt Service Fund.
Fiduciary Component Unit
Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fresno (Successor Agency): The Successor Agency was created to serve as custodian for the assets and to wind down the affairs of the former RDA. The Governing Board of the Successor Agency consists of the City Council. Over the Successor Agency's Governing Board is the Countywide Oversight Board, which replaced the fifteen oversight boards previously created by successor agencies in Fresno County. Fresno County Oversight Board is comp rised of six-member representatives: a representative from the County Board of Supervisors, a representative from the cities within Fresno County, a representative from the independent special district within Fresno County, a representative from the County Office of Education, a representative of the California Community College districts in Fresno County, and a resident of Fresno County.

Fiduciary Component Unit (Continued)
In general, the Successor Agency’s assets can only be used to pay enforceable obl igations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinish ed projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments). In future fiscal years, the Successor Agency will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former RDA until all of those enforceable obligations have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
The City became the Housing Successor Agen cy and has the sole legal authority to administer the former RDA’s housing assets. The City may move forward with completi ng projects under contract at the time of the dissolution and liquidate surplus real estate for the purpose of dist ributing proceeds to taxing entities, pursuant to approval of repayment of the RDA's obligations to the City.
The Successor Agency is a separate legal entity under Assembly Bill (AB) 1484. The Successor Agency is reported as a Private-Purpose Trust Fund in the City’s financial statements. This means that the Successor Agency’s assets are considered to be held in a trustee or agency capac ity for others and cannot be used to support the City’s government’s own programs. The housing activity of the fo rmer RDA is presented within the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, a special revenue fund.
Separate financial statements are prepared for th e Successor Agency and can be obtained from the Successor Agency Office at 2344 Tulare Street, Suite 200, Fresno, CA 93721. There is no separate financial report prepared for the Housing Successor Agency.
E. Budgetary Data
The budget of the City is a detailed operating plan which identifies estimated costs a nd results in relation to estimated revenues. The budget includes (1) programs, proj ects, services, and activities to be provided during the fiscal year, (2) the estimated resources (inflow) and amounts available for appropriation, and (3) the estimated charges to appropriations. The budget represents a process through which policy decisions are made, implemented, and controlled. The City Charter prohibits expending funds for which there is no legal appropriation.
Fund Structure
The budget document is organized to reflect the fund structure of the City’s finances. Fund revenues and expenditures are rolled up to the various object levels by division and department fo r presentation of information to the public. Budget adoption and subsequent administration is carried out on a fund basis.
Basis of Accounting
The City adopts annual budgets for most governmental and business-type funds on the cash basis of accounting plus encumbrances. Major General Fund revenues, such as sales tax and property tax, are budgeted on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Supplemental appropriations dur ing the year must be approved by the City Council.
Budgeted amounts are reported as amended.

E. Budgetary Data (Continued)
Basis of Accounting (Continued)
Encumbrances are commitments related to executed cont racts for goods or services. Encumbrance accounting is utilized for budgetary control and accountability and to f acilitate cash planning and control. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as part of restricted, committed, or assigned fund balance. As of June 30, 2025, encumbrances totaled $34.3 million in the General Fund, $92.9 million in the Grants Special Revenue Fund, and $81.3 million in the Non major Governmental Funds.
Revenue Estimation
The methodology for calculating revenue estimates varies depending on the source of revenue. Considerable weight generally has been given to historical trends. This emphasis on historical trends is used because of the composition of the Fresno economy, which differs from California in general.
The General Fund is the City’s most versatile funding source, since it has the fewest restrictions. Its revenue comes from property and sales taxes, business tax fees, room ta x (Transient Occupancy Tax), charges for services, development fees, and revenues from other governmental agencies. Property tax is the largest revenue source in the General Fund. The main source for projecting this revenue is assessed value information received from the County of Fresno.
Revenue estimates for Enterprise and Internal Service Funds are also rooted in historical trends. As those funds are generally self-supporting (meaning, they do not generally r eceive tax dollars to cover operational costs), revenue estimates also take into account any adjustments to fees assessed by the Enterprise or the Internal Service Funds.
Additionally, any anticipated changes in service levels are also reflected in the revenue estimates.
Budget Administration
The budget establishes appropriation and expenditure levels. Expenditures may be below budgeted amounts at year- end due to unanticipated or mandated savings. The existe nce of a particular appropriation in the budget does not automatically mean funds are expended. Because of the time span between preparing the budget and the subsequent adoption by the governing body, actual expenditures are likely to be different than the budgeted amounts.
Each expenditure is reviewed prior to any disbursemen t. These expenditure review procedures assure compliance with the City’s requirements and provide some degree of flexibility for modifying programs to meet changing needs and priorities.
F. Deposits and Investments
1. Investment in the Treasurer’s Pool - The City Controller/Treasurer invests on behalf of most funds of the City in accordance with the City’s investment policy and the California Government Code Section 53601. The City Treasurer, who reports investments and earnings on a monthly basis to the City Council, manages the Treasurer’s Investment Pool. The Treasurer’s Investment Pool c onsists of two components: 1) pooled deposits and investments and 2) dedicated investment funds. The de dicated investment funds represent restricted funds related to bond issuances of Enterprise Funds. In addition to the Treasurer’s Investment Pool, the City has other funds that are held by trustees. These funds are related to the issuance of Non-Enterprise Fund bonds and certain loan programs of the City.

F. Deposits and Investments (Continued)
2. Investment Valuation - The City categorizes its investments at fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles as codified in GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application.
All City investments are authorized by statute. The City is invested in the follow ing authorized investment instrumentalities: obligations of the U.S. Treasury, ag encies, state and local agencies, and supranationals, negotiable and non-negotiable certificates of deposit, medium term corporate notes, money market mutual funds, and the State Treasurer's investment pool. All are stated at fair value except for the non-negotiable certificates of deposit and money mutual fund which are stated at amortized cost.
3. Investment Income - Cash balances of each of the City’s funds, except for certain Trust and Custodial Funds and other restricted accounts, are pooled and invested by the City. Interest income from pooled investments is allocated to the individual funds based on the fund par ticipant’s average daily cash balance at month end in relation to total pooled investments. The City’s policy is to charge interest to those funds that have a negative average daily cash balance at month end. Fiscal year-end deficit cash balances are reclassified as Due to Other Funds and funded by operating funds with positive cash balances.
G. Loans Receivable
For the purposes of the Fund Financial Statements, Speci al Revenue and Capital Projects Funds expenditures relating to long-term loans arising from loan subsidy programs are recorded as loans receivable net of an estimated allowance for potentially uncollectible loans. In some instances, amounts due from external participants are recorded with an offset to an allowance account. The balance of long-term loans receivable includes loans that may be forgiven if certain terms and conditions of the loans are met.
H. Inventories
Inventories recorded in the Proprietary Funds primarily consist of construction materials and maintenance supplies.
Generally, Proprietary Funds value inventory at cost or aver age cost. Inventory is expensed as it is consumed (the consumption method of inventory acc ounting). The City uses the purchases method of accounting for inventories in governmental fund types, where by inventory items are considered e xpenditures when purchased and are not reported in the balance sheet.
I. Former Redevelopment Agency Property Held for Resale
Property of the former RDA, some of which was allocat ed to Low and Moderate Income Housing (LMIH) ($3.1 million) and some to the Successor Agency ($0.3 million), is being held for resale per the law dissolving the RDA.
The property is recorded at the current determination of the lower of estimated cost or market as documented in its approved Long-Range Propert y Management Plan (LRPMP). The LRPMP addresses the anticipated disposition and use of the real properties of the former RDA. At J une 30, 2025, the adjusted value of the property was $3.4 million.
Property held for sale may, during the period it is held by th e City, generate rental income. This rental income is recognized as it becomes due and is considered collectible. The property held by the LMIH appears on the Nonmajor Governmental Fund Financial Statements and Government-Wide Financial Statements as Property Held for Resale.
Property held for resale by the Successor Agency is included in the fiduciary funds.

J. Restricted Assets
Restricted cash is classified as restricted assets on the financial statements because it is maintained in separate bank accounts or tracked separately in the City Treasury group of accounts. Use of the proceeds is limited by applicable bond covenants and resolutions. Restricted assets account for the principal and interest amounts accumulated to pay debt service, unspent bond proceeds and amounts restricted for future capital projects. Restricted grants and interest receivable represent cash and receivables contributed for capital projects and the associated interest.
K. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, buildings and improve ments, machinery and equipment, infrastructure, and intangible assets, are reported in the applicable Govern mental Activities or Business- Type Activities columns in the Government-Wide Financial Statements and in the Private-Purpose Trust Fund (former RDA). All land not included in property held for resale is defined as Capital A ssets, regardless of the acquisition cost of the land. All other acquisitions or construc tions (excluding Infrastructure) with an in itial cost of $15,000 or more (excluding bundled purchases) and having an estimated useful life in excess of two years are defined as Capital Assets.
Computer purchases acquired through a capital financing are capitalized in bulk and not on an individual basis.
Infrastructure with an initial cost of more than $50,0 00 is capitalized. Improvements that extend an asset’s life or efficiency by over 25% are also capitalized. Such assets are reco rded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed unless they fall below the initial cost threshold.
Asset Category Capitalization Threshol d
Land All Lan d
Buildings, improvements, and machinery & equipment More than $15,000 Infrastructure More than $50,000
Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets receiv ed in a service concession arrangement are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. Capital outlay is recorded as expenditures of the General, Special Revenue, and Capital Projects Fu nds and as assets in the G overnment-Wide Financial Statements to the extent the City’s capitalization threshold is met. In prior years, inte rest cost incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of Business-Type Activities was included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. Amortization of assets acquired unde r finance purchase is included in depreciation and amortization.
Buildings and improvements, infrastructure, and machiner y and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated used lives:
Useful Life
Asset Category (Years)
Buildings and improvements 20 to 40
Infrastructure 15 to 55
Machinery and equipment 3 to 12
Works of art and historical treasures held for public exhi bition, education, or research in furtherance of public service, rather than financial gain, are not capitalized. These items are protected, kept unencumbered, cared for and preserved by the City.

K. Capital Assets (Continued)
Airports Department capitalizes noise mitigation costs consistent with GASB Statement No. 51 - Intangible Assets.
Water Rights, in the Water Fund, are also capitalized as Intangible Assets with indefinite useful lives and no amortization. The Airports' Noise Mitigation program cons ists of improvements made to properties falling within Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) designated high noise impact areas. Although the properties do not belong to Airports, noise insulation measures are installed to reduce the impact of sound decibels inside properties located within the flight path of the airport. In exchange, property owners grant aviation easements to the Airports Department with the easement having an indefinite life. Funding for the program is provided through federal grants.
As of fiscal year end 2025, $21.6 million has been capitali zed as an intangible asset. Included in this amount are noise mitigation assets of $5.4 million and Water Rights in the amount of $16.2 million.
Capital Financing Activities
Property, plant and equipment include the following property held under finance purchase agreements at June 30, 2025 (in thousands):
Governmental
Activities
Machinery and equipment 251,776 $
Less: accumulated depreciation (202,397)
Machinery and equipment, net 49,379 $
L. Bond Prepaid Insurance, Bond Premiums and Discounts and Accreted Interest Payable
In the Government-Wide Financial Statements, as well as in the Proprietary Fund type and the Fiduciary Fund type in the Fund Financial Statements, l ong-term debt and other long-term oblig ations are reported as liabilities in the applicable Governmental Activities, Business-Type Activities, or Proprietary Fund and Fiduciary Fund Statement of Net Position. Bond prepaid insurance is reported as other assets and amortized over the term of the related debt.
Bond issuance premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method.
Bonds payable are reported net of th e applicable bond issuance premium or discount. Interest accrued on capital appreciation bonds is reported as accreted interest paya ble in the Proprietary Fund and as Long-Term Liabilities, Due In More Than One Year in the Government-Wide Statements.
M. Deferred Outflows of Resources
Pension and OPEB
In the Government-Wide Financial Statements and the Pr oprietary Fund type in the Fund Financial Statements, deferred outflows of resources are recorded for the current year employer pension contri butions to the retirement systems, which represent contributions made after th e measurement period in acco rdance with GASB Statement No. 71. For the OPEB plan, the employer contribution made after the measurement period is the implicit subsidy for the current fiscal year. Refer to Note 1 (R) and 1 (S) for additional information.

N. Unearned Revenues
Unearned revenues arise when resources are received by the Ci ty before it has a legal claim to them (i.e., upfront grants or when the City bills certain fixed rate ser vices in advance). Amounts billed, but not yet earned, are amortized over the service period.
O. Deferred Inflows of Resources
The City records deferred inflows of resources in its G overnmental, Proprietary, and Government-Wide Financial Statements which represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods. In the Government-Wide Financial Statements and the Proprietary Fund type in the Fund Financial Statements, deferred inflows of resources are recorded for unamortized pension revenue, unamortized OPEB expense, and unamortized leases revenue.
In the governmental fund statements, the deferred inflows of resource unavailable revenue consists of revenue not collected within the availability pe riod after fiscal year-end. The deferred inflows of resources balance as of June 30, 2025 consists of the following unavailable revenue (in thousands):
Grants Non-major

P. Interfund Transfers
Interfund transfers are generally recorded as transfers in (out). The following types of transactions would not be considered Interfund Transfers, and therefore would not be recorded as an interfund item in the external financial statements. These exceptions include the following:
- Charges for services are recorded as both revenues of th e performing fund and expenditures of the requesting fund. Unbilled costs are recognized as an asset of the performing fund at the end of the fiscal year.
- Reimbursements for expenditures initially made by one fund which are properly applicable to another fund are recorded both as expenditures in the reimbursing fund a nd as a reduction of expenditures in the fund that is reimbursed.
Q. Cash Flows
The Statements of Cash Flows are presented for Proprieta ry Fund types. Cash and cash equivalents include all unrestricted and restricted highly liquid investments with original purchase maturities of three months or less.
Pooled cash and investments in the City’s Treasury represent monies in a cash management pool and such accounts are similar in nature to demand deposits.

R. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension asset, deferred out flows/inflows of resources related to pensions and pension revenue/expense, information a bout the fiduciary net position of the C ity’s two pension plans, City of Fresno Employees Retirement System and the City of Fr esno Fire and Police Retirement System (Plans), and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plans, which is the accrual basis of accounting. Employer and employee contributions are recognized as revenue when due. Contributions are recorded in the period the related salaries are earned and become measurable. Investment income is recognized when it is ear ned. The net appreciation in fair value of investments held by the Plans is recorded as an in crease to investment income based on th e valuation of investments at fiscal year-end, which includes both realized and unrealized ga ins and losses on investments. Retirement benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable under the terms of the Plans.
S. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferre d outflows/inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB revenue/expense, information about the fiduciar y net position of the City’s OPEB Plan, and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis, which is the accrual basis of accounting. For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. While participant retirees pay 100% of their premium costs, they are allowed to purchase insurance at blended premium rates. Thus, the City's contribution is deemed to be equal to the implicit subsidy, which is that portion of retiree claims costs over premiums contributed by retirees.
T. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities
At June 30, 2025, the Statement of Net Position Business-Type Activities refl ected approximately $0.9 million in regulatory assets related to the Central Valley Project (C VP) Water Settlement. These assets will continue to have an impact on water rates which are to be charged to customers over approximately the next 20 years. The settlement for past deficiencies was negotiated between the City and the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). Under GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting a nd Financial Reporting Guidance , regulatory assets represent future revenue associated with certain costs (CVP Litigation Settlement) that will be recovered from customers through the ratemaking process.
U. Property Taxes
Article XIII of the California Constitution (Proposition 13) limits ad valorem taxes on real property to 1% of value plus taxes necessary to pay indebtedness approved by voters prior to July 1, 1978. The Article also established the 1975/1976 assessed valuation as the base and limits annual increases to the cost-of-living adjustment, not to exceed 2% for each year thereafter. Property may also be reassessed to full market value after a sale, transfer of ownership, or completion of new construction. The State is prohibited under the Article from imposing new ad valorem, sales, or transaction taxes on real property. Local government ma y impose special taxes (except on real property) with the approval of two-thirds of the qualified electors.
All property taxes are collected and allocated by the County of Fresno to the various taxing entities. Property taxes are determined annually as of January 1 and attached as enforceable liens on real property. Taxes are due November 1 and February 1 and are delinquent if not paid by December 10 and April 10, respectively. Secured property taxes become a lien on the property on January 1. Property taxes on the unsecured roll are due on the January 1 (lien date) and become delinquent if unpaid on August 31. Property tax revenues are recognized in the governmental funds in the fiscal period for which they are levied and collect ed, adjusted for any amounts deemed uncollectible and amounts expected to be collected more than 60 days after the fiscal year.

V. Net Position
The financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is classified as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets - This category of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, and reduced by any debt outstanding and any deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to such borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or im provement of those assets. If there are significant unspent related debt proceeds at yea r-end, the portion of the debt attributable to the unspent proceeds is not included in the calculation of net investment in capital assets. Rather, that portion of the debt is offset by unspent proceeds.
Restricted Net Position - This category presents restricted assets re duced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Those assets are restricted due to external restrictions imposed by creditors (such as through bond covenants), grantors or laws and regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted - This category represents net position of the City that is not restricted for any project or other purpose.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, the City’s policy is to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources that are needed.

In the fund financial statements, fund balances of th e governmental funds are reported in a hierarchy of classifications which are based on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which the amounts in the funds can be spent. Governmental fund balance classifications consist of the following:
Nonspendable - Includes amounts that are either not in spendable form or are legally/contractually required to be maintained intact. These items include t hose not expected to be converted to cash, such as inventories, prepaid items, and certain long-term receivables.
Restricted - Includes amounts which have constraints placed on the use of the resources. The constraints are either externally imposed by creditors, gran tors, contributors, the le gally enforceable laws or regulations of other governments, or by the legally enforceable laws or enabling legislation of the government itself.
Committed - Includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes. Various reserves, including the City’s Emergency Reserve, are included as a committed reserve.
Resolution No. 2011-64 established the Reserve Management Act which set forth policy with stringent limitations on the reserve funds. This Act increased the minimum reser ve balance to 10% of the adopted budget for the next year’s General Fund appropriations.
A November 16, 2012 ballot measure amended Section 1212 of the City Charter to require that the Council establish a policy for managing the City Reserves. The measure al so defined several “qualifying events” under which the City’s Emergency Reserve could be used. Qualifying even ts were deemed to be 1) Natural catastrophe; 2) An immediate threat to health and public safety; or 3) A significant decline in General Fund Revenues, which in the opinion of the City Manager, impairs his/her ability to administer the Council adopted budget. All qualifying events must be declared by the Mayor and ratified by a super majority Council vote.

W. Fund Balance (Continued)
The Reserve Management Act (the Act) was further amended through Resolution 2015-77, which was adopted on May 15, 2015. The amendment to the Act permitted the use of the Emergency Reserve for year-end cash balancing purposes, with the approval of the Council.
On June 30, 2025, the Reserve balance identified as Committed Fund Balance was at $59.0 million, including $47.7 million for the General Fund Emergency Reserve.
On December 7, 2017, with the adoption of Resolution No. 2017-334, the Act was again amended. The Resolution stated that any real or personal asset sale of City pr operty with proceeds greater than $15,000, which would otherwise be deposited into the General Fund, shall inst ead be deposited into an Asset Sale/Special Windfall Reserve Fund. Proceeds deposited into this new fund are amortized over a five-to-ten year period and used to provide a revenue stream for General Fund items deemed necessary to deliver core City services for the protection and benefit of the citizens of Fresno. Monies from the Asset Sale/Special Windfall Reserve Fund are currently being used to fund salaries of additional police dispatchers. The Committed Fund Balance as of June 30, 2025 includes $0.2 million within this fund.
In addition to the City's Emergency Reserve, the Committed Fund Balance as of June 30, 2025 also consists of $5.3 million designated exclusively for use in a year when a 27th pay period occurs . Monies are set aside each year to fund the extra pay period that is a product of paying employees bi-weekly. The next fiscal year containing a 27th pay period is fiscal year 2028.
The Committed Fund Balance as of June 30, 2025 also includes $1.3 million for the Housing Reserve. Funds in this reserve are to be used exclusively for construction of low-income housing, or subsidizing private sector development of low-income housing.
Assigned - Includes amounts that are not classified as nonspend able, restricted, or committed, but which are intended by the City to be used for specific purposes. Intent is expressed by legislation or action of the City Council, the Mayor, or the City Manager which legislation h as delegated the authority to assign amounts for specific purposes.
Unassigned - The residual classification for fund balance, which includes all amounts not reported as nonspendable, restricted, committed, or assigned. The General Fund ma y report either a positive or negative unassigned fund balance. Unassigned amounts are available for any pur pose. Other governmental funds may report only negative unassigned fund balances if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeded amounts restricted, committed or assigned for those purposes. Other governmental funds may not report positive unassigned fund balances.
When multiple classifications of resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use resources in the order of restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned.

Y. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncements for the Year Ended June 30, 2025
The requirements of the following accounting standards are effective for the purpose of implementation, if applicable to the City, for the year ended June 30, 20 25. The financial statements included herein apply the requirements and provisions of these statements, including necessary retroactive adjustments to financial statement classifications and presentations.
GASB Statement No. 101 – In June 2022, GASB 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 certa in previously required disclosures. Implementation of this Statement did not have a significant effect on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
GASB Statement No. 102 – In December 2023, GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures .
This Statement requires a government to assess whether a concentration or constraint makes the primary government reporting unit or other reporting units that report a liability for revenue debt vulnerable to the risk of a substantial impact. Additionally, this Statement requires a government to assess whether an event or events associated with a concentration or constraint that could cause the substantial impact have occurred, have begun to occur, or are more likely than not to begin to occur within 12 months of the date the financial statements are issued. Implementation of this Statement did not have a significant effect on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Note 2 – Cash and Investments
A. City Cash and Investments
Sponsored Investment Pool
As part of the City’s total cash and investment portfolio , the Treasury Officer and staff, under the supervision of the Controller, manage an investment pool that includes only internal investors and is available for use by all funds.
The pool is not registered with the Securities and Exch ange Commission as an investment company. Investment activity is reported monthly to the City Council by posting reports to the City’s web page and annually through an investment policy submitted to the Council for review and approval. The investments are reported at fair value, which is determined monthly. Partic ipants’ shares are determined by the daily cash balance deposited in the pool (the value of its pool shares). Investment income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds on a monthly basis, based on each fund's daily cash balance. Interest payments are paid to the various funds also on a monthly basis. The value of the pool shares is based upon amortized cost in day-to-day operations, but is adjusted to the fair value at year-end. The value of the shares is supported by the value of the underlying investments. Each fund type's portion of this pool is displayed on the fina ncial statements as “Cash and Investments.” In addition, certain funds related to debt issues have investments with trustees.

Cash, Deposits, and Investments
At year-end, the City's bank balance was $37.2 million inclusive of Successor Agency to the Fresno Redevelopment Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund and pension trust funds . The recorded balance reflected in the June 30, 2025 financial statements was $35.6 million. The difference is due to deposits in transit and outstanding checks.
Cash includes amounts in demand and time deposits. Inv estments are reported in the accompanying financial statements at fair value, except for certain certificates of deposit and investment contracts that are reported at cost because they are not transferable and they have terms that are not affected by changes in market interest rates.
Changes in fair value that occur dur ing a fiscal year are recognized as in come from property and investments.
Income from property and investments includes interest earnings; changes in fair value; any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, unrealized gains and losses, maturity, or sales of investments; property rentals and the sale of City owned property.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. These principles recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, as follows:
- Level 1: Investments reflect prices quoted (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 th at are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Inputs to th e valuation include prices that are b ased on a similar observable asset either directly or indirectly, which may include inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.
- Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or lia bility where there are little market activities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon unobservable sources and may require estimation.
The City uses the market approach as a valuation techni que in the application of GASB Statement No. 72. This method uses prices and other relevant information gene rated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or group of assets. Fair value is the pri ce that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measuremen t date. Securities listed on the fair value hierarchy are valued by the custodial bank using Data Feed purchased from Interactive Data Corporation (IDC). The Level 2 Data Feed provides end of day independent valuations utilizing rules based on logi c and standard valuation techniques. It maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs including quoted prices for similar assets, benchmark yield curves, and market corroborated inputs.
According to GASB Statement No. 72, money market inv estments and participating interest-earning investment contracts that have a remaining maturity at the time of purchase of one year or less should be measured at amortized cost, and as such, are not shown in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the City's invest ment in LAIF is also not subject to the fair value hierarchy, as the amount available for withdrawal is based on the amortized cost.

All investments held in the Treasurer's Pool are consistent with the City's investment policy objectives of preservation of principal, adequacy of liquidity, and achievement of an average market rate of return.
The policy addresses the soundness of financial institutions in which the City will deposit funds, types of investment instruments as permitted by the California Government Code , and the percentage of the portfolio that may be invested in certain instruments with longer terms to matu rity.

B. Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
Investment of debt proceeds held by bond trustees is governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Gove rnment Code or the City’s investment policy. Investments held outside the Treasurer's Pool consist mainly of required reserve funds for various bond issues. They are held by trustees, and are not available for the City's general expenditures.
Investment agreements are used for the investment of bond proceeds in acco rdance with the permitted investment provisions of the specific bond indentures, which are prep ared in accordance with numerous safeguards to reduce the risk associated with a provider’s ability to meet its contractual obligations.

B. Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements (Continued)
The City has invested bond trust monies into securities with maturity periods of one to three years under a “ladder” approach to investing. Such a structur e allows for reinvestment in the short- term until interest rates begin to rise.
Staff believes that investing in the long-term at this time would commit the City into low earnings, instead of taking advantage of opportunities in case rates begin to rise. Du ring fiscal year 2025, total interest of $49.1 million was earned for the City’s investments.
C. Types of Risk Associated with the Treasury Pool’s Investments
Investment Risk
The City invests in no derivatives other than structured (step-up) notes, which guarantee coupon payments. These are minimal risk instruments. All investments are held by a third-party custodian in the City’s name.
Deposit and Investment Risk
The risk disclosures below apply to the City's internal investment pool and deposits as well as investments held by trustees for debt service funds or bond proceeds. Portfolio investments are exposed to four main types of risk:
concentration, interest rate, default, and custodial risk. Deposits are exposed primarily to custodial credit risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer, which are more restrictive than those stipulated by the Califor nia Government Code. While the State has no limit on the percentage of the portfolio that can be invested in a single U.S. Government Agency Security, the City’s Investment Policy limits investment in any one issuer to 50% of the portfolio. Also, while the State limits investments to 30% of the Portfolio for any single issuer of Medium Term No tes, the City's Investment Policy limits investments to 20% of the portfolio invested in any single issuer. Investments in any one issuer (other than U.S. Treasury securities, money market funds, and external investment pools) that represent 5% or more of the total Treasurer’s Pool investments or investments with trustees are as follows (in thousands):

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 will be the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates.

C. Types of Risk Associated with the Treasury Pool’s Investments (Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk (Continued)
One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to in terest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments. Another way the City mitigates this risk is by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. The City monitors the in terest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The I nvestment Policy limits the portfolio's weighted average maturity to three years, except for debt agreements held by trustees which are governed by the indentures and may be longer.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk for the Treasurer’s Pool and for investme nts with trustees is disclosed in the following table. As of June 30, 2025, the City had the following cash and investments in its portfolio (in thousands):

C. Types of Risk Associated with the Treasury Pool’s Investments (Continued)
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City maintains cash accounts at Bank of America. The City maintains separate accounts for payment of general accounts payable checks, payroll checks, and utility refund checks. Amounts in excess of $250,000 are securitized in accordance with California Government Code Section 53652. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy contain legal or policy requirements that limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits. The California Govern ment Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 1 10% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies.
California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. The co llateral pledged to cover the public fund deposits in California is held in the name of the California Collatera l Pool Administrator and is held in their name by the Federal Reserve Bank as custodian. The City had no uncollate ralized cash at June 30, 20 25. As of June 30, 2025, the City’s deposits with institutions in excess of fede ral depository insurance limits were $36.3 million held in accounts collateralized in accordance with California law as described above.
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker- dealer) to the transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment of securities that are in the possession of the counterparty. As of June 30, 2025 , in accordance with the City's investment policy, none of the City's investments were held with a counterparty. All of the City's investments were held with an independent third party custodian bank. The City uses Bank of New Yo rk Trust Company (BNY) as a third-party custody and safekeeping service for its investment securities. Custodial cr edit risk is the risk that the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments in the event of a B NY failure. All City investments held in custody and safe- keeping by BNY are held in the name of the City and are segregated from securities owned by the bank. This is the lowest level of custodial credit risk exposure.
D. Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a participant in LAIF which is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. As of June 30, 2025, the City had $81,193,247 invested in LAIF. LAIF determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities where market quotations are readily available and based on amor tized cost or best estimate for those securities where market value is not readily available. LAIF is reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
E. Pension Trust (Retirement Systems) Deposits and Investments
The investment guidelines for the City of Fresno’s Retirement Systems (Systems) reflect the duties imposed by an investment standard known as the “prudent expert rule .” The prudent expert rule includes anyone who has discretionary authority with respect to the Systems’ investments.

92 Note 3 – Receivables (Continued)
The allowance for doubtful accounts is a Statement of Net Position and/or Balance Sheet account that reduces the reported amount of a receivable. Providing an allowance for doubtful accounts presents a more realistic picture of how much of the receivable is likely to be turned into cash, pa rticularly in the near term. The amount of the allowance for each fund is a determination made by mana gement at the end of the fiscal year through a review of past collections received on each account. This analysis includes reviewing the aging of the receivable balance, past account write-offs and other known variables.

97 Note 5 – Leases and Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements
A. Leases
The accounts for leases in accordance with GASB Statement No. 87, which re quires the recognition of a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use (RTU) asset for l ease agreements. The City con tinues to account for lease agreements under these guidelines, recognizing leases as financings of the right-to-use underlying assets.
As a lessee, the City has entered into various lease agreements for land, buildings, and other properties, with lease terms expiring between 2025 and 2065. These agreements do not contain variable payments or guaranteed residual values. In fiscal year 2025, the City recognized lease liabilities and corresponding intangible right-to-use assets for the value of leased assets and the obligations to make future lease payments. Short-term leases (12 months or less) are excluded from the lease liabilities and recognized as outflows of resources (expenditures) in the period incurred.
The City has accounted for any renewal options based on th e likelihood of their exercise, where renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the lease term.
Future payments, under these non-regulated leases for each of the next five years and in five-year increments thereafter are as follows (amounts in thousands):

As a lessor, the City recognizes a lease receivable and a de ferred inflow of resources at the commencement of the lease term, excluding regulated leases subject to external laws or regulations, such as aviation leases. The City continues to follow GASB 87’s guidelines, recognizing re venue from both fixed and variable lease payments (excluding usage-based variables). The lease receivable is measured at the present value of expected payments during the lease term.

In fiscal year 2025, the City recognized $3.9 million in am ortization expense related to its lease agreements.

As of June 30, 2025, the balance of the deferred infl ow of resources related to leases was $19.9 million.
B. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA) - GASB 96
In fiscal year 2025, the City recognized significant subscr iption expense as part of the ongoing SBITA contracts.
The City has ensured that variable payments (based on usage) are exclude d from the SBITA liability calculation, and prepaid amounts are properly recognized as part of the subscription asset. In addition, the City recognizes Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs) in accordance with GASB Statement No. 96.
SBITA liabilities and intangible right-to-use (RTU) subscription assets are recognized at the commencement of the subscription term, with the liabilities measured as the present value of subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. If not explicitly stated in the contract, the City's incremental borrowing rate (IBR) is used for discounting the liability.
The City’s SBITA agreements include Tyler Technologies, Soundthinking, Inc., and Dell, with terms expiring in fiscal year 2027. These agreements are non-cancellable and include fixed, prepaid, and fixed-in-substance components. The City has recognized corresponding subscription liabilities and intangible RTU subscription assets in accordance with GASB 96, with amortization of the assets on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT systems.

C. City as SBITA Service Receiver
The City recognizes a subscription liability and an intangible RTU subscription asset at the beginning of an SBITA unless it is considered a short-term SBITA. A subscription liability is measured at the present value of subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term using the City's incremental borrowing rate. The City's SBITA contracts have terms expiring through 2028.
A subscription asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying subscription asset. Remeasurement of subscr iption liability occurs when there is a change in the subscription term and/or other changes that are likely to have a significant impact on the subscription liability.
Variable payments based on the usage of the underlyi ng assets are not included in the subscription liability calculations but are recognized as outflows of resources in the period in which the obligation was incurred.
As of June 30, 2025, the City's SBITA RTU subscr iption assets are $27.5 million with accumulated amortization of $17.7 million, while the City's principal and interest requirements to maturity for the SBITA liability are as follows (in thousands):

D. Discount Rate
Unless explicitly stated in the lease agreement, known by the City, or the City is able to determine the rate implicit within the lease, the discount rate used to calculate lease right-to-use assets and liabilities and related lease receivable is the City’s incremental borrowing rate at the en d of each fiscal year. As of June 30, 2025, the City's incremental borrowing rate was 2.21%. This was the discount rate utilized for applicable leases reported in fiscal year 2025.
E. Variable Payments
Variable payments based on the future performance of the lessee or lessor or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of lease assets or liabilities.
F. Regulated Leases
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 87, The City does not recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources for regulated leases. Regulated leases are certain leases that are subject to external laws, regulations, or legal rulings, e.g. the U.S. Department of Transpor tation and the Federal Aviation Administration, regulated aviation leases between airports and air carriers and other aeronautical users.

C. Debt Compliance
There are a number of limitations and restrictions contained in the various loan, note and bond indentures. The City is in compliance with all significant limitations, restrictions and covenants.
D. Debt Management Policy
The City maintains a Debt Management Policy (Policy) which sets forth certain debt management objectives, establishes overall parameters, and provides general directi on in the planning, issuing, and administering of the City’s debt. The purpose of the Policy is to assist in the City’s ability to incur debt and other long-term obligations at favorable interest rates for capital improvements, fac ilities and equipment which are beneficial to the City and necessary for providing essential services.
The Policy integrates the best practices of other debt mana gement plans utilized by similar California cities and is consistent with the provisions of the City Charter, and any enabling legislation.
As part of the Lease Revenue Bond re financing that took place in 2017, the City’s Debt Management Policy was reviewed to ensure compliance with Senate B ill 1029 (SB 1029). That update was approved by Council on April 6, 2017.

Note 6 – Long-Term Liabilities (Continued)
E. Legal Debt Limit and Legal Debt Margin
Article XVI, Section 18 of the California Constitution, (the “debt limit”) prohibits cities (including chartered cities), counties, and school districts from entering into indebtedn ess or liability that in any y ear exceeds the income and revenue provided for such year unless th e local agency first obtains two-thirds voter approval for the obligation.
This general limitation has several important exceptions as descr ibed below. It is important to remember that this limitation applies not only to traditional bonds, but could apply to many forms of indebtedness or liability, such as installment payment obligations, long-term service or construction contracts, letter-of-credit reimbursement agreements, and other types of arrangements commonly seen in public finance transactions. In determining whether the arrangement under consideration might pose a problem under the debt limit it is useful to ask the following questions:
Does the arrangement provide for paymen t in future fiscal years that comes out of revenue generated in those years?
Does the arrangement call for payments by a city, county, or school district (as opposed to other types of governmental agencies)?
If the answer to these two questions is “yes", then the analysis should proceed to determine if one of the exceptions to the debt limit applies. There are three major exceptions to the debt limit that have been recognized by California courts: the Offner-Dean lease exception, the special fund doctrine, and the “obligations imposed by law” exception.
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s debt limit (20% of valuation subject to taxation) was $10.4 billion. This number was calculated by taking the Total Assessed Values (Gross) from the County of Fresno Tax Rate Book, page 14 multiplied by 20%. This is in comparison with debt limits of $9.9 billion in 2024. The City’s legal debt margin is equal to the City’s debt limit because it has no debt subject to the limitation.
F. Arbitrage
Under U.S. Treasury Department regulations, all governmen tal tax-exempt debt issued after August 31, 1986 is subject to arbitrage rebate requirements. The requirements stipulate, in general, the earnings from the investment of tax-exempt bond proceeds that exceed related interest expenditures on the bonds must be remitted to the federal government on every fifth anniversary of each bond issue. The City has evaluated each general obligation bond and lease revenue bond issue subject to the arbitrage rebate requirements and h as deferred credits and other liabilities in the governmental funds. Each Enterprise Fund has perfo rmed a similar analysis of the debt the respective enterprise has issued which is subject to arbitrage rebate requirements. Any material arbitrage liability related to the debt of the Enterprise Funds has b een recorded as a liability in the resp ective fund. In addition, the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency records any arbitrage liability in deferred credits and other liabilities.
As of June 30, 2025, the City had no arbitrage liability.
G. Capital Financing Activities
The Fresno Yosemite International Airport received $7 0 million from the issuance of Series 2023 Bonds for the capital costs of the Terminal/FIS Expansion Project, net of fund deposits and Issuance Costs. The total estimated cost of the project is anticipated to be $145.1 million and will provide the design and construction of:
An expanded security checkpoint to provide a minimu m of 5 lanes and related offices for Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
A new concourse to the east of the expanded security checkpoint, with two additional gates on the second floor equipped with loading bridges.

A new FIS facility with a target throughput of 400 arriva ls per hour compared to the current capacity of 150 arrivals per hour, with a baggage claim unit located on the first floor of the new concourse and the processing facility to the east.
An in-line baggage screening facility between the expanded security checkpoint and the new concourse. Additional airline ticket offices in the existing ticket lobby, converted from prior baggage makeup and screening space.
Other supporting concession space.
Additional costs for this project will be paid by grants and cash on hand.
The City has entered into several Master Lease Agreements that allowed for a set amount of financing over the term of the Master Lease. Several financings took place under these Master Leases whose maturities exceeded the term of the agreement. These agreements qualify as capital financing activities for accounting purposes.
On January 13, 2017, the City entered into a Master Equipment Lease-Purchase Agreement with Banc of America Public Capital Corp. (BAPCC). Each schedule represents a separate capital financing with annual upfront payment terms provided by the lender at the time the equipmen t is purchased. There were nineteen schedules executed totaling $25,184,972 with interest rates ranging from 1.92% to 3.16% and terms between five and ten years. Early in fiscal year 2019, the City reached the maximum amount available to borrow under this master agreement which was $25 million.
On February 21, 2020, the City entered into a new $5.6 million lease purchase agreement with Alliance Funding Solution, Inc., at a rate of 2.95%. The funds were u sed to install solar equipment and other energy efficient equipment at both City Hall and the City's Municipal Service Center.
On January 13, 2022, the City entered into a new M aster Equipment Lease-Purchase Agreement with BAPCC.
Each schedule represents a separate capital financing with annual upfront payment terms provided by the lender at the time of financing. The purpose of these finance pur chases is to finance new and replacement equipment throughout the City. To date, there have been twenty one schedules executed totaling $38.97 million with interest rates ranging from 1.66% to 4.52% and terms of five to ten years. This new master agreement was amended to add $20 million to not to exceed amount during fiscal year 2024. This agreement expires on December 31, 2024.
On February 10, 2022, the city entered into a 15-year agreement to borrow $19.9 million from Alliance Building Solutions, Inc for a design-build contract to build turn-k ey PARCS and Public Safety facilities which will include upgrades to lighting to convert to LED efficient lighting, HVAC upgrades and replacements, system controls and monitoring, lighting controls, and transformer upgrades fo r implementation of a robust list of energy related and sustainability services. The interest rate is fixed at 2.62% for the term of the lease. Principal and interest due in semiannual installments that begin on August 16, 2022. Expected energy bill savings are expected to exceed $23 million over the life of the agreement by creating 3.5 million kilowatt hours per year, which is equivalent to taking 539 gas-powered vehicles off the road every year or powering nearly 300 homes annually. This aligns with the City's GHG Reduction Plan (Climate Action Plan) Municipal Strategies section 5.1.7 which targets GHG emissions generated at City facilities and operations.
On July 18, 2024, the City entered into a new $23,474,520 lease purchase agreement with Flagstar Public Funding Corporation at a rate of 5.28%. The funds were for the acquisition and construction of energy efficiency improvements for the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant.

If an Event of Default occurs, the majority owners of the bonds (not less than 51%) may declare the principal amount of all bonds outstanding and the interest accrued on them to be due and payable immediately. This applies to all C ity bonds except for the Series 2003 Tax Allocation Bonds.
Only 25% of bond owners are required to declare the bonds due and payable immediately.
The City’s bond agreements do not contain Subjective Acceleration Clauses.
Notes and Loans
For City loans associated with the construction of Wa ter Supply Disinfection Buildings, improvements to the Enterprise and Jefferson Canals, and the City’s Water Meter Project, an Event of Default is generally classified as one or more of the following: (1) nonpayment of any inst allment when due, (2) failure to make any remittances required by the agreement, (3) substant ial breach to the agreement, (4) maki ng any false warranty, representation, or statement with respect to the agreement, and (5) loss, theft or damages to any collateral given as security under the agreement.

For City loans associated with the Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility, the Regional Transmission Mains, the Enterprise Canal Raw Water Pipeline, the Kings Rive r Pipeline, the Southwest Quadrant Recycled Water Distribution System, and the Tertiary Treatment Facility, the agreements can be terminated by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) if the City violates any material provision of the agreement. Some examples of violations would be if the City fails to notify the SWRCB of (1) principal and inte rest payment delinquencies, (2) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves, (3) bankrupt cy or insolvency of the City. If a termination event occurs, the City can be demanded by the SWRCB to immediately repay an amount equal to the funds disbursed to them plus accrued interest and penalties.

Capital Financing Activities
For the City's financed purchases associated with Alliance Funding Solutions, Inc., an Event of Default is classified as one or more of the following: (1) failure to make rental payments when due, (2) failure to maintain insurance on leased property, (3) failure to perform or observe any obligations, covenants or conditions under the lease, (4) filing for bankruptcy by the City, and (5) any warranty, represen tation or statement made by the City to be found materially incorrect.

The City’s capital finance agreements do not contain Subjective Acceleration Clauses.
Note 7 – Defeasances
Current Year Defeasances
In fiscal year 2025, the City did not engage in any def easances or refundings of outstanding debt. A defeasance is typically used to set aside funds to pay off bonds early, while a refunding involves issuing new bonds to replace existing ones, often to take advantage of more favorable interest rat es. However, for this particular fiscal year, the City did not pursue either of these strategies, maintaining its existi ng debt structure without making early redemptions or restructuring through new bond issuances. This decision re flects the City's approach to managing its financial obligations without altering the terms of its outstanding debt during this period.
Note 8 – Interfund Activity
A. Due to/from Other Funds
Due to/from Other Funds represents short-term borrowings resulting from a fund’s temporary need for additional cash. These amounts have been recorded when timing di fferences between when services are provided and when they are paid for/reimbursed causes the funds to tempor arily overdraw their share of pooled cash. These balances are generally expected to be repaid within the next few months and not longer than a 12-month fiscal operating cycle.

Note 9 – Due from Fiduciary Fund
Advances over the years between the City and the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) were made to provide funds for the purpose of eliminating blight and developing, constructing, rehabilitating, and rev italizing Fresno’s inner-city neighborhoods, downtown, and industrial areas. The advances had all been secured by and payable from the incremental property tax revenues of the redeveloped properties. Interest rates varied betw een 5% and 9%, with payments on the advances and related interest based upon budgetary priority as approved by the former RDA.
In June 2011, all California RDAs were required to dissolve effective February 1, 2012. The law dissolving the RDAs called for the creation of a Successor Agency (SA) to wind down RDA business.
The initial dissolution law provided that the SA would pay “enforceable obligations” of the former RDA. However, the law initially excluded debt a former agency owed to the city that created it from the definition of enforceable obligations, unless the debt was created in the first two years following the agency’s creation or was debt that represented third party obligations. Subsequent legislation allo wed limited, conditional repayment of loan s by the SA to the community that created it.
When the RDA dissolution process began, City staff considered it to be premature to consider the debt owed by the former RDA to the City as being curre nt. Thus, an allowance for doubtful accounts was created by the City, which at June 30, 2011, totaled $80.1 million. This amount, which was equal to the calculated amount of the debt, was reflective primarily of principal and interest accrued over the years on the advances. As payments on the debt have been received and legal decisions have been rendered, which further defined an "enforceab le obligation", staff revisited that initial allowance for doubtful accounts amount and refined it. At the end of fiscal year 2025, the allowance for doubtful accounts stood at $6.8 million.
As the funds are received, 20% of any loan repayment received by the City must be deducted from the loan repayment amount and be transferred to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. In fiscal year 2024, this amount totaled $0.4 million. The repayment is reflected in the ACFR on the Combining Stat ement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances - Nonmajor Governmental F unds, under the Special Revenue Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund.

Note 9 – Due from Fiduciary Fund (Continued)
On June 23, 2016, the City Council approved a resolution requiring any amount of the annual repayments of RDA debt that are received and not related to Enterprise Fund rela ted loans would go toward the rebuilding of the City’s Emergency Reserve Fund. Through June 30, 2025, the City had received $38.1 million in loan repayments from the SA. With the adoption of the fiscal year 2019 budget a nd the corresponding achievement of a 10% reserve, these repayments became a General Fund revenue source.

Note 10 – Risk Management Fund
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to to rts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; business interruption; errors and omissions, automobile liability and accident claims; natural disasters; employee health benefit claim payments; and injuries to employees (workers’ compensation). With certain exceptions, it is policy of the City to use a combination of self-insurance a nd purchased commercial insurance agai nst property, liability or workers’ compensation risks. The City believes it is more economical to manage its risks internally and set aside funds as needed for estimated current claim settlements and unfavorable judgments thr ough annual appropriati ons and supplemental appropriations. The City maintains limited coverage for risks that cannot be eliminated. The Risk Management Division investigates and manages all liability claims and property losses, evaluates risk exposure and insurance needs, protects against contractual loss by reviewing/preparing insurance and indemnification portions of contractual documents, emphasizes ongoing operational loss control, and purchases all insurance coverage for the City.
For Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City maintains General Liability insurance, with limits of liability of $25 million per occurrence and $25 million aggregate in Excess Liability coverage. There is a $5 million self-insured retention (“SIR”).
Coverage is provided by the Safety National Insurance Company ($5 million per occurrence /$5 million aggregate), Allied World Insurance Company ($10 million per occurrence /$10 million aggregate), StarStone Specialty ($5 million per occurrence /$5 million aggregate), and Gemini Insura nce ($5 million per occurrence /$5 million aggregate). The City has procured Automobile Physical Damage cove rage through Hanover Insurance Company with a $10 million limit. For this policy, the deductible is $50,000 for vehicles valued at less than $150,000, while the deductible is $100,000 for vehicles valued at $150,000 or more. The City carries Government Crime coverages with a $5 million limit secured through Zurich Insurance Company with a $50,000 deductible.

Furthermore, the City maintains Property insurance and Bo iler and Machinery insurance, with Travelers Insurance, with total insured values of $2,498,583,679 with aggr egate coverage of $500,000,000/$50,000,000 per occurrence.
There is a $100,000 deductible for most losses. Flood losses have a $250,000 deductible. Property insurance does not cover losses due to seismic events. Finally, the City mainta ins Aviation (Aircraft Hull) insurance for two helicopters, with limits of liability of $50 million in aggregate. Each claim is subject to a deductible of 1.0% of the insured value of each helicopter, up to a maximum of $15,000.

The City’s Workers’ Compensation Program consists of $2 million SIR, with purchased excess insurance layers up to the statutory limits. With the exception of one pending claim, settled claims have not exceeded the SIR in any of the last four Fiscal Years. The claims liabilities and worker s’ compensation liabilities reported on the Statement of Net Position have been actuarially determined and include an estimate of incurred but not reported losses.
The estimated liabilities of the Risk Management ISF as of June 30, 2025, are determined by the City based on recommendations from an independent act uarial evaluation. The liabilities are b ased on estimates of the ultimate cost of claims (including future claim adju stments expenses) that have been reporte d but not settled, and claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). The claims liability of $283.6 million reported in the Risk Management Internal Service Fund at June 30, 2025 is based on the requirement that claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
The recorded liabilities for each program at June 30, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):
Workers' compensation* 186,174 $

Note 11 – Employee Benefit Programs
A. Retirement Plans
The City sponsors two single-employer, contributory, defined benefit pension plans. The City of Fresno Employees Retirement System and the City of Fresno Fire and Po lice Retirement System (Systems) were established under Charter Section 910 and are governed by Article 5 Chapter 3 (Employees) and Articles 3 and 4 Chapter 3 (Fire and Police) of the City of Fresno Municipal Code, respectively. The Systems provide lifetime retirement, disability, and death benefits to its members.
The Systems are administered by their respective Retirement Boards (Boards) which operate in compliance with the City of Fresno Municipal Code, and also in accordance with the California Pension Protection Act of 1992. The Boards do not operate under the control of the City C ouncil. Rather, the Boards have the sole and exclusive responsibility to administer the respective Systems in a manner that will assure prompt delivery of benefits and related services to the members and their beneficiaries.
Membership and Benefit Eligibility
All permanent full-time employees of the City, except sworn Fire and Police personnel, are eligible to participate in the Employees’ plan. The Fire and Police is one System with two tiers. Effective A ugust 28, 2008, the City of Fresno added the Fire and Police Tier 2 for all full-time sworn Fire, Police and Airport safety personnel hired on or after that date (and closed the Fire and Police Tier 1 to new entrants). Employees become eligible for membership on their first day of full-time regular employment, and beco me fully vested after earning 5 years of service credit.
Employees working in limited, interim, provisional, temporar y, seasonal or part-time pos itions are not eligible to participate in the Systems. Participa tion is mandatory if an employee is e ligible, except in the case of the City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, Department Heads and Council Assistants who may negotiate other retirement benefits if such an agreement is established by resolution of the Council as provided for in the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) Section 5-318.
Total participants in each System were comprised of the following, as of June 30, 2025:
Employees Fire & Police Total
Active Members
Vested 1,461 834 2,295 Non-vested 1,591 385 1,976 Total active members 3,052 1,219 4,271 Retirees and Beneficiaries of Deceased Retirees
Retirees, currently receiving benefits 2,344 1,246 3,590 Inactive vested members 253 65 318 Total retirees and inactive members 2,597 1,311 3, 908 Grand total 5,649 2,530 8,179
Benefit Provisions
The retirement (pension) benefits that Employees memb ers receive are based upon a combination of age at retirement, years of credited service, final average monthly salary, and the distribution option selected by the participant. For Fire and Police, the benefits are furt her based upon the tier and option selected by the participant.
Members' contributions, including interest, are 100% vest ed at all times. Employer contributions do not become vested until completion of five years of credited service, and are not payable until the member attains the age of 55.
Effective January 28, 2008, members may retire between ages 50-55 with an actuarial equivalent service retirement benefit.

A. Retirement Plans (Continued)
Benefit Provisions (Continued)
For Fire and Police, the employer contributions do not become vested until completion of ten years of credited service under Tier 1 and five years of credited service under Tier 2. Those benefits are not payable until the member attains the age of 50 under both tiers. Contributions are made by the members and the employer at rates recommended by the Systems’ actuary and adopted by the Boards.
Member Retirement Benefits
Employee members are eligible for service retirement benef its upon completion of at least five years of service upon termination of service (if they have left their contribut ions and interest with the System) and are at least age
55. They are also eligible if their permanent termination from City service was caused by a layoff. In those cases, they can retire at age 50 at a reduced benefit. They may al so be eligible for service retirement benefit if they have less than five years of service with the City, have establishe d reciprocity with a prior employer, and are eligible to retire from that agency.
The service retirement monthly benefit calculated pursuant to the provisions of the Fresno Municipal Code is equal to 2% of final compensation times each of the first 25 y ears of accrued retirement service credit plus 1% of final compensation times any years of accrued retirement service credit in excess of 25 years, multiplied by the age factor at retirement age. Final average compensation consists of the highest average consecutive 36 months of earnable compensation calculated using the rate of pay in effect at the time of retirement.
Fire and Police members of Tier 1 are eligible to retire once they attain the age of 65 regardless of service, or at age 50 and have acquired ten or more years of retirement service credit. The Tier 1 monthly benefit for a member with at least 20 years of service who retires from active status is equal to 55% of final comp ensation plus 2% of final compensation for each year of service in excess of 20 years completed after age 50. For Tier 1, final average compensation consists of the final highest consecutive 36 months of compensation earnable calculated using the rate of pay actually earned by the member in effect at the time of retirement. Some members can elect to have their final compensation based on a rank average. Members of Tier 2 are eligible to retire once they attain the age of 65 regardless of service or at age 50 and have acquired 5 or more years of retirement service credit. The Tier 2 monthly benefit for a member who is age 55 or older is equa l to 2.70% of final compensation times years of accrued retirement service credit. The maximum m onthly retirement allowance is 75% of final compensation. Tier 2 final average compensation consists of the highest consecutive 36 months of comp ensation earnable before the date of retirement.
The members of each System may elect an unmodified re tirement allowance, or choose one of four optional retirement allowances. Each of the optional retirement allowances require a reduction in the unmodified retirement allowance in order to allow the member s the ability to provide certain benef its to a surviving spouse, domestic partner, or named beneficiary having an insurable inter est in the life of the member . For Employee members, the unmodified retirement allowance provides the highest monthly benefit and 50% continuance to an eligible surviving spouse or domestic partner. For Fire and Police member s, the unmodified retirement allowance also provides the highest monthly benefit and a 66 2/3% continuance to an eligible surviving spouse or domestic partner.

Member Retirement Benefits (Continued)
The Municipal Code provides that the Retirement staff must research the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) (US city-average for urban wage earners and clerical workers - all items) and propose that percentage to the appropriate Boards as the cost -of-living adjustments (COLA) to be adopted for the following year. This procedure must be completed by the end of April of each year for implementation in July (employees) or January (public safety). The COLA is limited to a 5% maximum change per year (employee) or 3% maximum change (public safety). Any excess over the maximum change is “banked” for use in a year where the percent of CPI change is less than the maximum.
The Fire and Police Tier 1 COLA depends on the type of method chosen by the member at retirement. If the member chose the Career Rank method, the COLA is a recalculation of his/her retirement based on the new salaries adopted for the current year. If the method chosen by the retiree is the final 3-year method, the COLA is based on the change in the weighted mean average compensation attached to all ranks in the department, with a cap of 5% per year. Any excess over the 5% is “banked” for use in years when the COLA calculated is less than 5%.
Each System also has a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP), which is an optional voluntary program that allows the member to have his or her retirement benef its deposited in a special account within the Systems while the member continues to work in his or her current position. It is a voluntary method of receiving a distribution of their retirement benefits; it is not an additional retirement benefit. Additional information on DROP may be found in the ACFR for each respective System.
Terminated Member Benefits
If a member terminates before earning five years of credited service, the member forfeits the right to receive his or her service retirement benefit and is entitled to withdraw refundable contributions made, together with accumulated interest. If the member enters a reciprocal retirement system within 180 days (6 months) of terminating employment with the City and elects to leave their accumulated contributions on deposit with the System, then the member will receive a deferred retirement allowance when eligible.
Death and Disability Benefits
Death benefits are based upon whether the death occurred be fore or after retirement. Disability benefits are based upon whether the member has at least ten years of credited service, over or under age 55 and whether the permanent incapacity is found to be service or non-service connected.
Basis of Accounting
The Systems’ financial statements are prepared usi ng the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Generally A ccepted in the United States of America (GAAP), under which revenues are recognized when earned and deductions are recorded when the liability is incurred. Securities lending transactions are accounted for in accordance with GASB Statement No. 28, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Securities Lending Transactions.

Valuation of Investments
For financial reporting purposes, the Systems’ investments are reported at fair value. Fair value for investments of publicly traded securities is based upon closing sales prices reported on recognized securities exchanges on the last business day of the period or for listed securities having no sales reported and for unlisted securities, based upon last reported bid prices. All purchases and sales of secur ities are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends declared but not received are accrued on the ex-dividend da te. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on national or international exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Investments in both bonds and mortgage backed pass-through certificates are carried at fair value. Cost values are derived from Master Cust odial Transaction Records. The fair value of real estate investments is based on independent appraisals. Investments that do not have an established market are reported at estimated fair values.
For asset/liability calculation purposes and for actuarial purposes, asset valuation is based on market value of assets less unrecognized returns from each of the last five years. Unrecognized returns are equal to the difference between the actual market return and the expected return on a market value basis and are recognized over a five-year period.
The Actuarial Value of Assets is reduced by the value of the non-valuation reserves.
Rate of Return
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments, net of investment expense was 10.94%, for the Employees and Fi re and Police. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.
Reporting
The following data is for employer reporting as required by GASB Statement No. 68 as of June 30, 2025. The results used in preparing the GASB St atement No. 68 report are comparable to those used in preparing the GASB Statement No. 67 report for the plan based on a reporti ng date and measurement date as of June 30, 2024. The valuation is based upon:
The benefit provisions of the Systems as administered by the Boards; The characteristics of covered active members, term inated vested members, and retired members and beneficiaries as of June 30, 2024;
The assets of each Plan as of June 30, 2024;
Economic assumptions regarding future salary increases and investment earnings; and Other actuarial assumptions, regarding employee termination, retirement, death, etc.
The Total Pension Liability (TPL) and the Plans’ Fiducia ry Net Positions include liabilities and assets held for DROP, Post-Retirement Supplemental Benefits (PRSB) and City Surplus reserves. The Net Pension Liability (NPL) is equal to the difference between the TPL and the each Plan’s Net Position. Each Plan’s Fiduciary Net Position is equal to the market value of assets and therefore, the N PL measure is very similar to an Unfunded/(Prefunded) Actuarial Accrued Liability calculated on a market value basis. The NPL was measured as of June 30, 2024 and determined from the actuarial valuations as of June 30, 2024. The Plans’ Fiduciary Net Positions (Plan Assets) were valued as of the measurement dates. Consistent with the provisions of GASB Statement No. 68, the assets and liabilities measured as of June 30, 2024 were not adjusted or rolled forward to the June 30, 2025 reporting date.
The discount rates used for each Plan to determine the TPL and NPL as of June 30, 2024 was 6.75%, following the same assumptions used by the Retirement Systems in the funding valuations as of the same dates.

Funding Policy
See comments in section H of Note 13 – Commitments and C ontingencies regarding the current status of the City of Fresno employer contributions to The Systems.
For the Employees System, the average employer contributio n rate as of June 30, 202 5, for 2024-2025 (based on the June 30, 2022 valuation) was 13.4% of compensation. The average employee member contribution rate as of June 30, 2025 for 2024-2025 (based on the June 30, 2022 valuation) was 8.9% of compensation.
For the Fire and Police System, the average employer c ontribution rate as of June 30, 2025, for 2024-2025 (based on the June 30, 2022 valuation) was 21.0% of compensa tion. The average employee me mber contribution rate as of June 30, 2025 for 2024-2025 (based on the June 30, 2022 valuation) was 9.0% of compensation.
All active Fire and Police members are required to make contributions to the System. Employee contribution rates vary in the First Tier according to entr y age. The Tier 1 average member cont ribution rate as of June 30, 2025 for 2024-2025 (based on the June 30, 2022 valuation) was 0.0% of compensati on. Employee contribution rates in the Second Tier are established at 9.0% of pensionable base pay.
The aggregate employer contribution rate for the Fire and Police System as of June 30, 2025 for 2024-2025 (based on the June 30, 2022 valuation) was 21.1% of compensation.
Funding Status and Method
The Employees System Board adopted a Comprehensive Actu arial Funding Policy on November 7, 2012. For the Employees Retirement System, this policy included a change in actuarial cost methodology from the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) method previously used for funding purposes to the Entry Age Normal (EAN) method.
On the same date, the Fire and Police Board adopted a Co mprehensive Actuarial Funding Policy. For the Fire and Police Retirement System, this policy included a change in actuarial cost methodology from the aggregate EAN funding method to the individual EAN method. The Boar ds made the change due to the adoption of GASB Statement No. 67 in fiscal year 2014.
Funding Requirements and Policy Components
The Systems’ annual funding requirements are comprised of a payment of the Normal Cost and a payment on the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL), if applicable. The Normal Cost and the amount of the payment on UAAL are determined by three component s of the respective Board’s funding policy: 1) Actuarial Cost Method - the techniques used to allocate the cost/liability of retirement benefits to a given period; 2) Asset Smoothing Method - the techniques that spread the recognition of investment gains or losses over a period of time for the purposes of determining the Actuarial Value of Assets used in the actuarial valuation process; and 3) Amortization Policy - the decisions on how, in terms of duration and pattern, to fund the difference between the UAAL and the Actuarial Value of Assets in a systematic manner.
As of June 30, 2025, the Systems did not have UAAL.

The Systems use a 5-year smoothing of market gains a nd losses above and below the assumed actuarial rate of return to derive the actuarial value of assets. As of the fiscal year end on June 30, 2025, the actuarial valuation value of the Employees’ System assets was $1.6 billion with a f unded percentage of 109.8% on a valuation value of assets, whereas the actuarial value of Fire and Police asset s was $2.0 billion with a funded percentage of 114.9% on a valuation value of assets.

Discount Rate and Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability (Asset) to Changes in the Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the TPL was 6.75% as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The projection of cash flows used to determine the disco unt rate assumed plan member contribu tions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarial determined contribution rates. For this purpose, only employer contributions that are intended to fund benefits for current plan members and their beneficiaries are included. Projected employer cont ributions that are intended to fund the service costs for future plan members and their beneficiaries, as well as pr ojected contributions from future plan members, are not included. Based on those assumptions, the pension Plan Fi duciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit paym ents for current plan members. Theref ore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all pe riods of projected benefit payments to determine the TPL as of both June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.
The following presents the NPL of the Employees and Fire and Police Retirement Systems as of June 30, 2025.
The Systems use the current discount ra te to measure the TPL for the measurement date of June 30, 2024, as well as what the NPL would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (5.75%) or 1- percentage-point higher (7.75%) than the current rate:

NPL of E mployees and Fire and Police Retirement Systems As of June 20, 2025
Long-Term Expected Real Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on the Systems’ investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pens ion plan investment expense and net of inflation) are developed for each major asset class. This information is 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 and deducting expected investment expenses and a risk margin. The target allocation and projected arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class, after deducting inflation, but before deducting investment expense, used in the derivation of the long-t erm expected rate of return assumption are summarized in the following table:

For Beneficiaries, Pub- 2010 General Healthy Retiree Amount Wei ghted Mortality Table (separate ta bles for males and females) times 105%, projected generationally with the two-dimensional mortality impr ovement scale MP-2018. For disabled members, Pub-2010 Safety Disabled Retiree Amount-Weight ed Mortality Table (separate tables for males and females), projected generationally with the two-di mensional mortality improvement scale MP-2018. These mortality tables were adjusted to future years using the generational projection to reflect future mortality improvement between the measurement date and those years.
Actuarial Assumptions
The TPL as of June 30, 2024 was determined by an actua rial valuation as of June 30, 2024. The actuarial assumptions used in the valuation were based on the results of an experience study for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021.

In particular, the following actuarial assumptions were applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.50%
Salary increases 3.75% to 11.50%, varying by service, including inflation (Emp loyees).
Investment rate of return
Other assumptions
4.00% to 13.00%, varying by service, including inflation (Fire and Police).
6.75%, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation.
See Appendix A in the ACFR for the Employee's Plan and the Fire/Police Plan for the service retirement rates after they have been adjusted to treat DROP participation as service retirement.
Net Position Restricted for Pension Benefits
Net position restricted for pension benefits is segrega ted into Active Members Reserve (members’ accumulated contributions) and reserves established by the Boards for various benefit payments. Reserves are established by the Systems from member and employer c ontributions and the accumulation of investment income after satisfying investment and administrative expenses.
Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the City in curred pension expense of $25.8 million for the Employees Plan and $23.5 million for the Fire and Police Plan for a total pension expense of $49.3 million.

Any differences between projected and actual investment earnings on pension plan investments are recognized over a period of five years beginning with the year in wh ich they occur. Differences between expected and actual experiences are recognized over the average of the exp ected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the Re tirement Systems determined as of J une 30, 2023 (the beginning of the measurement period ending June 30, 2024) and is 4.39 years for the Employees System and 4.72 years for the Fire & Police System.
Administrative Expenses
The Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) provides that all administ rative costs of the Systems shall be a charge against the assets of the Systems. Per the FMC, the Administrative expenses are a co mponent of the City’s contribution calculation.
The Systems issue publicly available financial reports that include financial statements and required supplementary information for the Employees Retirement System and the Fire and Police Retirement System. The reports may be obtained by writing the City of Fresno Retirement Office, 2828 Fresno Street, Suite 201, Fresno, California 93721, or by visiting:
https://www.cfrs-ca.org/employee-retirement-system/ers-financial/ for the Employee System, or https://www.cfrs-ca.org/fire-and-police-retirement-system/financial/ for the Fire and Police System.
Successor Agency Retirement Plan
The Successor Agency participates in a public agency cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan (the Plan) administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). Employer contribution rates are determined on an annual basis by an actuary and are effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate.
The Plan fiduciary net position disclosed in the Successor Agency’s accounting valuation may differ from the Plan assets reported in the Successor Agency’s funding actuarial valuation report due to CalPERS keeping various items included in its fiduciary net position which are excluded for rate setting purposes in the Successor Agency’s funding actuarial valuation.
Differences may also result from timing of financial reporting by CalPERS and final reconciled reserves.
As of the beginning of the measurement period (July 1, 2024), the net pension liability for the Plan is $733,631.
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2025 (the measurement date), the net pension liability for the Plan is $727,489 and the Successor Agency incurred pension expense of $126,373 for the Plan.

B. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan in accordance with Inte rnal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 457. The deferred compensation plan (the Plan), available to all permanent full-time and part-time employees and Council Members, permits deferral of a portion of the employee’s salary into a tax-deferred program. The deferred compensation is not available to employees or other beneficiaries for withdrawal until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergenc y, or loan program. Upon separation from employment with the City, an individual may roll over their deferred account into another IRS Allowable Plan or, upon receipt, the distribution will become taxable.
The Deferred Compensation Board contracted with Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity) as the trustee and plan administrator. The City’s Retirement System Ad ministration assists Fidelity in the administration of the Plan. In addition to the Retirement Office, City staff in the Payroll section of the Finance Department, the City Attorney’s Office, and Information Services Department all assist in the administration of the Plan. The City has no fiduciary accountability for the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan assets and related liabilities to Plan participants are not included in the basic financial statements.

Note 11 – Employee Benefit Programs (Continued)
C. Compensated Absences
Vacation pay, which may be accumulated up to 600 hours depending on an employee’s bargaining group and length of service, is payable upon termination. Sick leave, wh ich may be accumulated up to 12 hours per month, has no maximum. If eligible, most bargaining units receive a portion of the value of their sick leave balance at termination in their Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). Otherw ise, employees do not receive any value from their sick leave balances at termination.
Annual leave, which may be accumulated up to 1,200 hours, depending upon bargaining unit and length of service, is payable upon termination or retirem ent. Holiday leave may be accumula ted indefinitely depending upon the bargaining groups and is payable for active employees as well as at termination or retirement. Annual leave allows for the cashing out of the higher of 10% of the accumulated balance or 48 hours, once per fiscal year. Supplemental sick leave is awarded to unrepresented management, professi onals and to white collar employees at the rate of 40 hours at the beginning of each fiscal year. The balance can only be used after other leave balances are exhausted, or for other specific reasons outlined in the various Memo randa of Understanding (MOU’s) or the current Salary Resolution. The balance is payable at termination/retirem ent or is accounted for as part of an HRA which is unfunded and expended on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Starting in fiscal year 2006, some bargaining units selected to account for some or all of their sick leave and supplemental sick leave balances as an HRA. The book valu e of these balances is accounted for (by employee) in off-line spreadsheets, administered by HealthComp, is given credit for calculated interest, and is used to pay health premiums for the employee, their spou se and dependents until their individual balance is exhausted. The HRA is not held in a trust, but is funded on a pay-as-you-go-basis.
The portion of the City's obligation relating to employ ees' rights to receive compensation for leave balances attributable to services already rendered is accrued wh en incurred in the Government-Wide, Proprietary, and Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements. Compensated absences upon termination are funded through a cost allocation formula which is based upon a citywi de history of payouts (approximately $2 million per year). Accruals are reviewed by bargaining unit and the $2 million base is allo cated in proportion to each unit’s current liability for a contribution per unit cost. This unit cost is then converted to a cost per employee and becomes part of the budgeted employee service cost in each department’s annual base budget.

D. Termination Benefits
During fiscal year 2025, there were no employees who received severance pay.
E. Health Benefit Plan
The City offers its employees participation in the Fresno City Employees Health and Welfare Trust Plan (Trust).
The Trust offers a self-insured medical plan for full-time and permanent part-time employees and their dependents.
The Trust also provides dental, vision, pharmacy, mental health, and chiropractic coverage.
There are two medical plan options available to empl oyees. Employees have the opportunity, on an annual basis, to elect either a higher benefit level Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) option or a reduced benefit level PPO option. Employees electing to receive the higher benefit level option pay a percentage of the monthly premium through payroll deductions. Employees electing the lower benefit level pay nothing for their coverage.
City of Fresno
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
135
Note 11 – Employee Benefit Programs (Continued)
E. Health Benefit Plan (Continued)
The first option is a higher benefit level PPO plan which has a $200 individual annual deductible and a $600 family maximum annual deductible. Under this option, the plan pays 80% of covered ch arges and the employee is responsible for 20% of the covered charges. Once a cove red member incurs $15,000 in covered charges, the plan then pays 100% until the end of the plan year.
The second option is a reduced benefit level PPO plan which has a $1,300 individual annual deductible with a $2,600 family maximum annual deductible . The benefit reduction amount is set by the Board of Trustees for the plan and depends on the amount of contributions received by the Trust on behalf of the employee.
The percentage of the premium the employee is required to pay to receive the higher benefit level is negotiated by each bargaining unit.
During fiscal year 2014, a number of units negotiated a 75% - 25% contribution split. For these units, the City contributes 75% of the premium and the employees, if they wish to have the higher benefit level PPO, contribute 25% of the premium. If they choose not to make the contri bution, the medical benefits are reduced by 30%. This reduction results in the plan paying 56% of covered char ges and the employee is responsible for 44% of covered charges.
Only one bargaining unit continues to have a different contribution amount than the balance of the Unions. For Fresno City Employees Association, Inc. (FCEA) employees hired after July 11, 2011, the City contributes 70% of the premium and the employees, if they wish to have the higher benefit level PPO, contribute 30% of the premium.
If they choose not to make the contribution, the medical benefits are reduced by 35%. This reduction results in the plan paying 52% of covered charges and the employee is responsible for 48% of c overed charges. Employees in the FCEA hired before July 11, 2011, continue to have an 80% - 20% contribution split as described above.
City retirees are also eligible for participation in th e plans by paying the full blended premium cost. The City continues to assess the impact of the federal healthcare reform legislation on the City’s liabilities.
The Health and Welfare Trust Board approved the purchase of a $500,000 stop- loss insurance policy on May 11, 2016. The policy was purchased in fiscal year 2017. The purpose of the policy was to protect the Trust from having to pay any claim or series of claims associ ated with one case that totaled more than $500,000. In addition to the stop-loss insurance, the Health and Welf are Trust Board also approved a policy of setting aside a portion of the Health and Welfare Trust Fund's fund balance for the payment of catastrophic health claims.
F. Other Post-Employment Benefits
Plan Description
The City of Fresno Retirees Healthcare Plan is a single -employer defined benefit medical plan administered by HealthComp and funded through the City of Fresno Health and Welfare Trust. It is reported as an Internal Service Fund of the City and provides Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) to eligible retirees and his/her dependents, spouse or domestic partner. The City does not accumulate as sets in a dedicated trust, or equivalent arrangement, for the purpose of funding its retirement healthcare obligation. Therefore, the actuarial value of plan assets are zero.
The trust does not issue separate publicly available financial statements.

F. Other Post-Employment Benefits (Continued)
Plan Description (Continued)
GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-Employment Benefits Other than Pensions, requires governments to account for OPEB on an accrual basis of accounting, rather than on a pay- as-you-go basis. The effect is the recognition of an actu arially determined expense on the Statement of Activities when a future retiree earns their pos t-employment benefits, rather than when they use their post-employment benefits. The post-employment benefit liability is recognized on the Statement of Net Position over time.
Contributions
The City provides post-employment h ealthcare benefits for certain eligible retirees. OPEB includes the authorization for retirees to purchase health insurance through the plan at current employee rates. The establishment and amendment of benefit provisions are negotiated between the employee ba rgaining units and the City, and are recommended by the City Manager subject to the approval of the Mayor and the City Council. While participant retirees pay 100% of their premium costs, they are allowed to purchase insurance at blended premium rates. Thus, the City's contribution is deemed to be that portion of retiree claims costs over premiums required to be contributed by retirees. Currently, the City does not pre-fund retiree health benefits and instead provides for benefits on a pay- as-you-go basis.
Employees Covered
As of June 30, 2023, valuation date, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefit payments 401 Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefit payments - Active employees 3,873

Total OPEB Liability
The City's net OPEB liability of $ 94.1 million was measured as of June 30, 2024, and was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 to determine the June 30, 2025 total OPEB liability.
Actuarial Assumptions and Other Inputs
The net OPEB liability was determined using the following actuarial assumptions and other inputs, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:

A. Closure and Post-Closure Care Cost
The City continues to monitor a former landfill site as part of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund program. Management estimates the remaining monitoring costs as of June 30, 2025 to be $7.0 million.
A liability in this amount has been recorded in the Solid Waste Manageme nt Fund. It is anticipated that approximately $0.9 million in monitoring costs and landfill site closure costs will be paid in fiscal year 2026. The Fresno sanitary landfill has not received solid waste sin ce 1987. It was redesigned as part of a 350-acre “green” facility to integrate the Fresno sanitary landfill site into a championship caliber sports complex/regional park. The estimated total remaining post-closure care costs are b ased on the equipment, facilities, and services required to monitor/maintain the closed landfill. Th e liability for post-closure care costs is an estimate and subject to change resulting from inflation, deflation, technology or changes in applicable laws.
Fees paid by utility users will be used to cover the remain ing monitoring costs. A receivable totaling $5.9 million has been recorded in the Solid Waste Management Fund.
B. CVP Water Contract
The City’s 60,000 acre-foot water supply entitlement from the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR, or the Bureau) is equivalent to approximately 40% of the City ’s annual water demand. This supply, derived from the Friant Dam on the San Joaquin River, is the primary res ource for the operation of the City’s current and future surface water treatment facilities.
The City and the Bureau have what is known as a Repayment Contract. While most traditional federal Reclamation Law provisions continue to apply, the City receives some important benefits by utilizing the Repayment Contract, including:
Permanent water supply - The Repayment Contract provides for an ongoing, permanent annual supply of up to 60,000 acre-feet of water from the Friant Division of the CVP. No further periodic renewal negotiations are required.
Pricing benefits - Certain components of the Bureau water rate structure, such as tiered pricing, are eliminated.
Financing cost savings - Under the previous Bureau rate structure, the City paid certain financing costs and interest on the outstanding capital and operation and mainte nance obligations that the Bureau attributed to the City. Under a Repayment Contract, those costs are not passed on to the City.

B. CVP Water Contract (Continued)
Because repayment contracts do not require periodic re newal, compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) need not be repeated. This obligation is amortized and included in the volumetric water rates the City pays the USBR. The present value of the City’s debt obligation to the Bureau has been fully capitalized in the Water Fund under the caption “Unamortized CVP Water Settlement”, and is being amortized against expected future revenues generated through water rates. The “Unamortized CVP Water Settlement” totaled $0.6 million on June 30, 2025.
C. Other Litigation
There are various other lawsuits and claims pending against the City. Alth ough the outcome of these claims and lawsuits is not presently determinable, management, after consultation with lega l counsel, is of the opinion that a majority of these matters will not have a material adve rse effect on the financial condition of the City at June 30, 2025.

Contamination, primarily from the common solvent trichloroethylene (TCE), was discovered and identified in 1989 in soils and groundwater beneath property currently owned by the City. The site known as Old Hammer Field (OHF), a prior Army military base in the 1940’s, was th e subject of investigation and cleanup efforts which had previously been jointly funded by the Boeing Company (B oeing), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Fresno. The area had been used for the repair, overhau l, maintenance, refurbishing and construction of aircraft during and after World War II. The California Departme nt of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) was the lead regulatory agency overseeing site cleanup.
After years of legal negotiations, a settlement agreement between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Boeing Company, and the City was reached. The settlement called for the Airports Department to be responsible, going forward, for 10% of the cleanup costs. The settlement also called for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Boeing to make a joint one-time payment of $1,350,000 for past costs. This payment was made in fiscal year 2011.
The Court approved the settlement agreement which included the one-time payment noted above, covenants not to sue and an operating agreement for purposes of coordi nating further efforts to implement the State-Approved Remedial Action Plan to obtain Site Closure. All parti es agreed to bear their own costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees in the case.
A liability for future cleanup costs on the Old Hammer Field site is recorded on the fiscal year 2025 ACFR in the amount of $220,000. Total costs have been estimated to range between $10 and $20 million, with the City’s share of cleanup costs to be 10%. The cleanup tim e frame has also been es timated and is expected to continue for 20 to 40 years. Cleanup costs totaled $57,000 in fiscal year 2025.
The City will re-evaluate this accrual annually and make adjustments as necessary.

D. Toxics Mitigation (Continued)
DBCP Groundwater Contamination
The occurrence of DBCP, an agricultural pesticide, in certain groundwater has been identified throughout the Fresno Metropolitan Area. At various City well sites, DBCP exceed s drinking water limits and is removed by Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) treatment. The City fronted the costs of clean up with respect to the known wells and reimbursed itself from a litigation settlement in an original amount of approximately $21 million. $10 million was stipulated to be used toward past costs, and $11 million was to be applied toward the installation of additional GAC treatment units, all of which have been completed. Subj ect to numerical limits, the settlement arrangement also provides for the City to be reimbursed for the capital costs of the installation of GAC treatments at wells exceeding maximum contaminant levels, with reimbursements ranging from $337,500 to $540,000 depending on the well site.
Funding also is provided for the ongoing operation a nd maintenance cleanup costs of approximately $27,900 to $31,000 per contaminated well (depending on type), adjusted for inflation, with such payment obligations ending on June 26, 2035. The City is not responsible for “cl eanup” in the context common to hazardous material remediation.
The City can elect to treat wells or simply shut them down. Future costs to clean up and monitor new discoveries of contamination at existing sites or additional sites that may be identified are eligible for reimbursement under the settlement agreement through June 26, 2035.
An obligating event as defined by GASB Statement No. 49 h as not occurred during the fiscal year; therefore, no liability exists.
Pollution Remediation
Although the Successor Agency is generally not involved w ith operations that pose a high risk for environmental liabilities, properties acquired for redevelopment purpo ses could be contaminated or may contain hazardous substances, such as petroleum products, lead, and/or asbestos. The former RDA’s due diligence property acquisition policies required that the RDA obtain a Phase I Environmen tal Site Assessment (ESA) report on all properties to be acquired by the RDA to minimize or avoid potential environmental liabilities. If the Phase I ESA findings and conclusions indicate the need for further environmental investigation, a Phase II ESA is commissioned. In the event of an acquisition leading to demolition, the former RDA obtained a Phase I and/or Phase II report and, if necessary, remediated the property according to state and federa l laws prior to demolition. In instances where hazardous substances or petroleum products were detected by the Phase II ESA, environmental remediation (cleanup) is subsequently planned and executed. The Phase II ESA and cleanup work are normally supervised and sanctioned by local environmental agencies such as the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). This agency accepts the completion of the cleanup work by issuing a “Case Clos ure” letter that officially declares the property free of hazardous substances or petroleum products.

Pollution Remediation (Continued)
During fiscal year 2016, the Successor Agency held one par cel subject to environmental investigation at 655 “G” Street - Chinatown. In February 2009, the City transferred title to four parcels in the Chinatown project area to the RDA. In October 1995, a Phase II ESA was completed for th e four parcels. The parcel at 718 “F” Street and two parcels at 705 “G” Street were free of hazardous substances or petroleum products. The fourth parcel at 655 “G” Street was found to be in need of further assessment (Phase II ESA) because suspected leaking gasoline tanks had been removed from the site. The RWQCB advised the C ity that additional assessment was necessary to further evaluate impacted soils and groundwater and required a work plan outlining the assessment. Recently, the Successor Agency obtained an EPA grant to assess 655 “G” Street, as required by the RWQCB. The work plan and field work have been completed and test results have been received. Monitoring wells have been installed at the site and water samples are to be tested quarterly. RWQCB will review th e results and advise if further action is needed. At this time, any potential costs cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty. Until such time as the costs can be estimated with more certainty, no liability will be accrued.
E. Measure Z, Zoo Accreditation, Fresno Chaffee Zoo Corporation
In accordance with an agreement between the City and the Fresno Chaffee Zoo Corporation (FCZC), a California benefit corporation, a non-profit board operates the Chaff ee Zoo (Zoo). The City and the FCZC also negotiated a lease and a financing arrangement.
The lease agreement, dated January 1, 2006, was negotiated for a 30-year period. There is also a 25-year renewal of the term if the Zoo Tax was reinstated after its initial 10-year term, or two additional 10-year renewal options if the tax was not renewed. On November 4, 2014, a new incarnation of Measure Z which extends the tax for another 10 years was passed triggering the 25-year lease renewal. The lease rate is at $1.00 per year.
The lease agreement sets forth the terms and conditions be tween the City and FCZC, with respect to the Zoo premises and any expansion that might occur in a desi gnated expansion area. The City is responsible for all maintenance and operation costs in the expansion area, until such time as the FCZC takes possession of the expansion area by exercising its rights in accordance with lease provisions.
The City retained ownership of the land, buildings, struct ures, permanent fixtures, and improvements in existence at the commencement date of the lease, while the FCZC is the owner of all buildings, structures, and improvements constructed thereafter until the end of the lease term.
The Financing Agreement conveyed the Zoo animals and Zoo personal property to the FCZC, along with all obligations the City had with respect to the animals exhibited, housed or ot herwise kept or cared for at the Zoo during the term of the lease. At the termination of the lease or the end of the lease term, should the City decide not to continue operations of the Zoo, the FCZC has the right to sell or dispose of the Zoo animals and keep the proceeds of any sale or disposition at its sole cost or expense. The FCZC also has the authority to acquire, sell or dispose of Zoo animals in the course of the lease so long as the compliment of animals at all times is similar in type and proportion to the Zoo animals on hand upon commencement of the lease.
The FCZC must maintain Association of Zoo & Aquariums (AZA) accreditation of the Chaffee Zoo.

G. Discolored Water (Continued)
In early 2017, the EPA conducted a comprehensive review of the City and the State of California’s oversight of the City’s drinking water treatment and testing program. The EPA concluded that the City has historically complied with the regulatory action level for lead, and that the City’s water system has been optimized for corrosion control since 1996.
In September 2016 and May 2017, groups of residents filed two lawsuits against the City and other parties seeking damages for harm allegedly caused by the City’s water s upply. Litigation is currently ongoing. The City will continue to vigorously defend itself in these matters.

These rates are established in accordance with the System’s funding policy and are based on an independent actuarial valuation.
The System has initiated litigation seeki ng to compel the City to remit empl oyer contributions in accordance with the actuarially determined rate adopted by the Board. As of June 30, 2025, this litigation remains pending and the ultimate outcome cannot presently be determined. The City does not agree that the Retirement Systems are "subject to a constraint related to the inflow of resources from its plan sponsor" or that there was a "shortfall in contributions received during fiscal year 2024-25" as presented in the System’s Annual Comprehensive Finance Report (ACFR).
Note 14 – Securities Lending

Note 15 – Other Information
Construction Retainage Escrow Accounts
The City enters into construction contr acts with various outside third-party contractors with respect to major capital projects. As the construction progresses, progress payments ar e made to the contractors. Portions of the payments, called retention payments, are paid into an escrow account. While these funds are earned by the contractors, generally 5% to 10% of the contract amount, they are not released out of the escrow account to the contractor until some agreed upon date, usually the completion of th e job. These amounts are retained for a variety of reasons, as an incentive to complete the job in a timely manner, or as a fund for the be nefit of suppliers and subcont ractors. The City may not convert the funds in these escrow accounts for its use unless a breach of contract occurs.
COVID-Related Funding
The City has received a substantial amount of funding from the Federal and State government since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to offset the pandemic’s health and economic impacts. The following are the major COVID- 19 mitigation funding sources that have been awarded to/received and expended by the City as of June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, the City has expended $149.9 million in SLFRF funding and continues to implement identified projects throughout the City of Fresno.
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding the HOME I nvestment Partnerships – American Rescue Plan (HOME- ARP) – In September 2021, the City was awarded $11.9 million of HOME-ARP funding. Funding is anticipated to be used for supportive services, acquisition and development of non-congregate shelter, development of affordable rental housing, and administration and planning. As of June 30, 2025, the City has expended $403 thousand in HOME-ARP funding and continues to implement identified projects throughout the City of Fresno.

As of June 30, 2025, the City has e xpended $5.6 million in CDBG-CV funding a nd continues to implement projects throughout the City of Fresno.
Note 16 – Deficit Fund Equity
The Risk Management Internal Service Fund had a deficit net position as of June 30, 2025.
The deficit net position in the Risk Management Fund at June 30, 2025 was $288.7 million, an increase of $25.6 million.
The increase was due to the City reflecting a Liability for Self-Insurance on its Combini ng Statement of Net Position in the amount of $283.6 million. This liability grew by $ 23.3 million between fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
City management continues to carefully monitor this fund and evaluate strategies for reducing and eliminating this deficit net position balance.

Budgetary Control and Budgetary Accounting
Budgets are legally adopted and formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all governmental fund types. The budget is pr epared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. From the effective date of the budget, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures become appropriations to the various City departments.
The City has five-year business plan development procedur e. The five-year business plan process requires that each department submit their five-year expe nditure plans and revenue estimates to be provided to the City Council for approval. Only the first year of the five-year business plan will be adopted. The remaining years represent a projected plan which is expected to be appropriated by resolution in the following years. As a part of the five-year business plan, the focus in year one is on the operating budget, while the focus on years two through five is the City’s CIP.
The City controls its budget at the fund and department level. The City Council is the sole budget authority. Activities of the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Servi ce Funds, Proprietary Funds, and Capital Funds are included in the annual budget. The City does not adopt budgets for the Fresno Revitalization Corporation and Fresno E.I.F.D.

The Schedule of Investment Returns above shows the annual money-weighted rate of return on the assets of the Systems, both gross and net of investment expense for ten fiscal years (2015-2024). The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance adjusted for timing of cash flows and the changing amounts actually invested. These returns differ slightly from the time-weighted rate of returns calculated and reported by the Systems' custodian, Northern Trust, and as independently reported by the Systems' investment consulting firm, NEPC, LLC. The Systems' custodian and investment consulting firm must use time-weighted returns as opposed to money-weighted returns in order to meet Global Investment Performance Standards for the purposes of effectively evaluating and reporting the performance of the Systems' investment managers.
The time-weighted return method is a measure of the compound rate of return of a portfolio over a stated period of time. It requires a set of subperiod returns to be calculated whenever there is an external cash flow, such as a deposit or withdrawal from the portfolio. In essence, it calculates the geometric total and mean return as opposed to the arithmetic total and mean return. This method does not include or have any distortions created when money is deposited or withdrawn from a portfolio. This is in contrast to money-weighted returns.
