Bob Krauth, 703 Colombard Circle, congratulated the City for being one of the top 20 cities in the Country particularly in regards to the young people and what we've been doing with our kids.
He’s looking forward to June to see if we make it to the top 10.
Ana Cortez, Gonzales Resident, asked if there was a way she could pay for parking because of the parking issues in town. She wanted to know if there was a possibility that she can pay on a monthly basis for parking in front of her home. She knows it's public, but wanted to know if she could pay parking because of privacy, and she has heard other counties do that.
Mayor Rios thanked her for her comments and mentioned that the Council was not allowed to comment or respond at this time because it's under public comment, and they can comment only on agendized items.
Guadalupe Carrasco, 480 South Alta Street, commented about the Police Department's intentions for stalking, harassing or attempting to intimidate him. He said Bowen and Rivas were constantly finding him somewhere, and he brought it up to the Chief in 2017. He commented about having a witness; filing a complaint; cops being everywhere, and knowing where he's at when he has his phone on; cops at night by the winery; questioned why they're at certain locations; and family members being affected.
Packet Pg. 5
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 17, 2023 6:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA)
Rosa Rodriguez, 307 Ayrshire Way, commented about having a complaint against Officer Bowen and discrimination not belonging in our community; being one of the ones affected; parking eliminated due to the Safe Routes to School project; leaving messages for City staff and not getting a call back; social media and web pages not being updated like the City of Soledad who are doing a better way of communicating with their residents; and understanding they're understaffed and some people are doing multiple jobs because we had a high turnover at the Police Department and City Hall, and they need to figure out why that's happening.
Jose Torres, via zoom, wanted to comment on the presentation, Item 2.
Mayor Rios told him he can comment when we get to that item.

Packet Pg. 6
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 17, 2023 6:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA)
In regards to Item 11, Council Member Worthy asked on the timeline for the MST bus shelter installation.
Public Works Director Dobbins responded that staff didn’t have a timeline yet and are waiting on them bringing the consultant on board.
In regards with the Fifth Street Pilot program, she mentioned she has received a lot of phone calls about this project where vehicles can't get through because they are larger vehicles. She was concerned about emergency vehicles and no parking for the American Legion Hall. She asked if it isn't working, if we can pull it sooner than the three-month timeline.
Public Works Director Dobbins responded yes, staff can make some adjustments and can come back to the Council prior to the planned July 17th meeting.
Council Member Worthy preferred to address it sooner than June, but would like to hear how the rest of the Council feels.
Mayor Pro Tem Funk suggested maybe bringing it back at one of the May meetings.
Rosa Rodriguez shared her concerns about ADA compliance and needing to have handicap spots for easier access to the Legion Hall.
Council Member Silva also shared the concerns she has heard as well such as emergency vehicles and not having many cyclists in town. She said she personally doesn’t like it.
It was the Council’s consensus to direct staff to bring it back in May.
In regards to Item 13, Council Member Worthy asked if the City Attorney has reviewed this contract since a lot of the contracts have to be reviewed by the City Attorney, and since this one was $100,000.
City Manager Barber responded that staff used the template that’s on file, so it's the standardized template, and all the insurance requirements indemnification, all of the standard deal points for our standard consulting agreements are in place for this agreement.
City Attorney Rodriquez mentioned that this agreement originally came in their standard form contract and it was suggested that we move it over to our standard template, and the only thing is that the last staff report indicated was that this is going to be a month to month agreement and he didn’t see that referenced in the staff report that accompanied this, but it was his understanding once it had been changed, they might make this a month to month basis, each grant will be assigned by way of a separate task order so that Council and staff have control.
Council Member Worthy asked the City Manager if this was a month-to-month contract.
City Manager Barber responded that the contract’s original form, and what the form that the consultant prefers is a month-to-month retainer basis. Staff under initial consultation, tried that format with a different consultant and didn't find it fruitful or productive for the City. So, for this format for this new consultant, we went through the process of saying let's not do a month a month, let's do it on a grant basis that way we know exactly what the efforts are and how many hours are put into this, and we can track return on investment a lot more easily. He added as Mike had mentioned, it's going to be on a per grant basis and they have a fee schedule described in the agreement and he can go into more details if preferred.

RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS] Consent Agenda Items 5-14
MOVER: Maria Orozco, Council Member
SECONDER: Liz Silva, Council Member
AYES: Jose L. Rios, Scott Funk, Liz Silva, Lorraine Worthy, Maria Orozco Mayor Rios said they will move on to the next Item 16 since the person they were waiting for the presentation had not arrived.
City Manager Barber asked for Item 15 to be discussed next since it was pulled from Consent Agenda and it needs to be on Regular Agenda.
Mayor Rios asked if we could do that since it was pulled and it was the case in the past when an item is pulled, we can’t put it back now. He asked the City Attorney if we could do that.
City Attorney Rodriquez also thought it was pulled from the consent calendar all together.
Mayor Rios added because it's not agendized as an action item, then we would have to obviously pull it and then come back and agendize it at a future meeting.
City Manager Barber asked if it would be okay to consult with Patrick who has been in contact with USDA to mention the importance of putting it on the regular versus the consent calendar.
Public Works Director Dobbins mentioned the USDA loan process that we're going through for the Community Center requires a noticed public meeting and staff inadvertently placed this item on Consent Agenda when it should have been on the Regular Agenda, so that’s what staff is trying to slide it over to the Regular Agenda.
City Attorney Rodriquez asked if this was a noticed public hearing.
Public Works Director Dobbins responded this was a noticed public meeting, not a public hearing. They had public noticing requirements for this public meeting that was in the paper on April 5th and it was noticed where we post Council agendas.
City Attorney Rodriquez mentioned it was okay to move it to the Regular Agenda.
Item 15 was moved to Regular Agenda

Public Comment: Rosa Rodriguez, 307 Ayrshire Way, commented about the time she was in the Recreation Commission, and they were trying to form a nonprofit group to start seeing money for this Community Center and we still don’t have a Community Center.

AYES: Jose L. Rios, Scott Funk, Liz Silva, Lorraine Worthy, Maria Orozco Council Member Orozco asked for clarification and point of order under presentation Item 3 for the Vista Lucia Specific Plan. She knew there were folks here in the audience who were waiting to hear the plan presentation and she asked if there was a reason for the delay, if it was one of the presenters.
City Manager Barber responded that the request came from the presenters themselves to wait for Supervisor Lopez to join.
Council Member Orozco asked if he was on his way or if he’ll be joining through zoom.
City Manager Barber responded he was on his way.
Council Member Orozco suggested translating this message to let the folks that are here know about it. She asked if she could translate this to the audience.
Mayor Rios responded yes.
Council Member Orozco translated for the Spanish speaking members in the audience.
16. Consider Adoption of Ordinance No. 2023-136, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Gonzales Adding New Chapter 12.150 – Agricultural Resource Mitigation to Title 12 – Zoning Regulations, Part 5, Regulations Applying in All Districts Staff Report: City Manager Barber presented the staff report.
Public Comment: Mike Novo, representing the Ag Land Trust, commented about speaking at the last meeting where he submitted correspondence; they don't think this is the right approach for this Ag mitigation as he pointed out the letter he submitted at the last meeting; and pointed out LAFCO also submitted a letter saying they were not subject to the City ordinance.
Rosa Rodriguez asked if they can explain what Ag mitigation is.
Community Development Director Kinison Brown explained in general there are broad policies and specific policies that try to keep agriculture producing food and fiber and growing, and not just lose it to cities that grow and grow. He said there's a financial disincentive most often for converting that land, and that would be what this ordinance is about, if you're going to cover growing agricultural land with other uses, that you protect agricultural land elsewhere by securing an easement so that place continues in production.
Council Discussion: Council Member Silva asked if this Ordinance gets included with the application to LAFCO when it passes.
Packet Pg. 9
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 17, 2023 6:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA)
Community Development Director Kinison Brown responded it's the context of the City's rules set, so upon incorporation, that would be the rules that apply to agricultural mitigation.
Mayor Pro Tem Funk asked for clarification if there were no changes to the ordinance since the first reading.
Community Development Director Kinison Brown responded there were no changes and no additional correspondence.
RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS] Item 16
MOVER: Liz Silva, Council Member
SECONDER: Scott Funk, Mayor Pro Tem
AYES: Jose L. Rios, Scott Funk, Liz Silva, Lorraine Worthy, Maria Orozco At this point, Mayor Rios asked the presenters to continue with the Vista Lucia Specific Plan presentation without Supervisor Lopez since we got to the end of the agenda items already.
3. Vista Lucia Specific Plan Conceptual Affordable Housing Plan Glenn Pace, Pembrook Development Manager, gave a powerpoint presentation explaining the home ownership rates based on population for different States; housing market summary; jobs and housing balance; employees percentages; affordable housing for Gonzales; project site location map; overall land use plan that includes greenway connections, over seven miles of trails, promenades and bikeways; high density apartment concept; small lot detached homes; and regional housing needs allocations.
The Council appreciated Mr. Pace’s tenacity for staying with us for so long and for his continued support, as well as the generosity of the Fanoe family. They looked forward to seeing this project move forward.
Mayor Rios opened public comment.
Rosa Rodriguez thanked Mr. Pace for the great presentation and would like to see a Fire and a Police Department in the plan. She elaborated on the reasons regarding response time.
Elizabeth Ochoa, Soledad Resident, was happy to hear they were moving forward with this project and her family is hoping to move here since she has taught here for 19 years and had to move to Soledad since they couldn’t find a home here. She was also grateful for the low income homes they're providing as well as more schools.
Bob Krauth, 703 Colombard Circle, commented about his wife's family growing up in Gonzales and he’s lived here for a couple of years. He asked if there were walls around it since it looks like that in the picture.
Mr. Pace responded it would be open to everyone and there were no walls.
Chris Lopez, Monterey County Supervisor, expressed he’s fortunate to represent this area on the Board of Supervisors and this comes at a good time for him. He was in San Lucas this morning honoring a teacher for her work, and he got pulled aside by several kids asking when CHISPA is going to build their house. He said we need more houses. He has had several families asking when there is going to be more housing because they want their kids and grandkids to come home to our Valley. He commended the Council for taking on this challenge, and it's going to be hard moving forward. He said there is not a single person who looks like the majority of the people in Packet Pg. 10
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 17, 2023 6:00 PM (CONSENT AGENDA)
our Valley on the LAFCO Board, there’s not a single latino vote on that board, and he knows who the Council is standing for and who they're speaking for. He mentioned it's the people who need this opportunity, and it's a shame that's true, but he sat there last year, made a tough vote voting for housing, for what the people were asking for and it got him tossed off that board. He told the Council as they make this decision, they have his support and he will always support the local choice. This is what our communities need, they need a place to call their own, and it affects mental health, and general health because we don't live in an environment that is safe for us. He shared story about a mother who shared that she had four daughters and was sharing a house with three other families, but did not sleep for eight months because they had to walk through their living room to go to the bathroom and she was afraid because she didn't know the individuals that well, but it was their only opportunity for housing and it cost her mental health issues. He concluded these were the realities in our community and it's not easy, but projects like these makes sense for our community. He thanked the Council for taking on this challenge and he’ll be at their side every step of the way in this effort because it's what our communities need at this time.
Jose Torres, via zoom, Housing Advocate at LandWatch Monterey County, addressed affordable housing, a pressing concern that affects the future development of the City as well as its residents.
He elaborated on the General Plan warning against the City becoming a bedroom community, and the General Plan requiring planning for housing for local workers, not commuters. He went over the General Plan requirements, state law, mix of housing needs, poverty levels percentage, and affordability. He expressed LandWatch’s urgency to the Council to ensure that the Vista Lucia Specific Plan area provides sites with sufficient densities to meet the General Plan requirement for affordability.

It is recommended that the City Council:
• Receive the staff report; and

DATE: May 1, 2023
FROM: Patrick Dobbins, Public Works Director/City Engineer THROUGH: Trevin W. Barber, City Manager
SUBJECT: Bike Lane Pilot Project on Fifth Street Progress Report
RECOMMENDATION
Receive a progress report on the Separated Bike Lane Pilot Project on Fifth Street between Rincon Road and Elko Street and provide feedback and direction to staff.
BACKGROUND
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) and their consultant, Ecology Action, are working with staff from the cities of Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City on a Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan. The Safe Routes to School Plan will include recommendations to improve walkability to/from La Gloria Elementary, Fairview Middle School and Gonzales High School. This program is funded through a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Transportation Planning Grant.
School audits occurred on October 26, 2022, when city staff, Transportation Agency for Monterey County, Ecology Action and the members of the Gonzales Youth Council observed students arrive and leave La Gloria Elementary, Fairview Middle School and Gonzales High School.
The program includes implementing a Pilot Project for the community to experience a recommended improvement and provide feedback should the city decide to make the improvement permanent. These pilot projects are being used in all four Salinas Valley cities to provide data on how the recommendations work in practice, collect community input, and support future grant applications for Safe Routes to Schools infrastructure improvements.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
A Separated Bike Lane on Fifth Street between Rincon Road and Elko Street was selected by the project team as the Pilot Project and presented at the March 20, 2023 City Council Meeting. With the Council’s authorization, in early April the project team striped the bike lanes, and installed the associated delineators, and high-visibility crosswalks on Fifth Street.
Ecology Action is collecting survey data from the community on the pilot project. The survey link has been shared through mailers to all City residents, fliers that have been sent out to families through the schools, banners and hard copy surveys placed along 5th Street, and in-person outreach to parents and students before and after school. As of April 25th, 50 survey responses had been received.
The majority of respondents reported a positive experience with the high-visibility crosswalks. Half of respondents reported a positive experience with the separated bike lanes, while 32% reported a negative experience. One-third of respondents reported that they walked or biked more because of the pilot project.
Half of respondents said that they would like to see the temporary changes made permanent, while 36% would not like to see the changes made permanent and 14% were undecided.
The survey also included space for open-ended responses about the pilot project. The primary comments were:
Positive comments:
1. Easier to bicycle along Fifth Street as it feels safer
2. Motorists are driving slower
3. Liked the high visibility crosswalks
4. Liked the student art, increases vibrancy of 5th Street Concerns:
1. The narrow lanes can slow down the response time of emergency vehicles
2. Parking spaces were eliminated along Fifth Street. This affects evening and weekend events at the High School and the American Legion Hall
Staff have been in communication with the Fire Chief and Police Chief about impacts to their service since the pilot was installed. The Police Chief has not seen impacts to service or response times. The Fire Chief tested the pilot after it was installed and was able to get a fire truck through 5th Street with vehicles parked on both sides, but clearance was very limited. To ensure that Fire Department response times are not impacted by the pilot during high-traffic periods, staff recommends removing half of the delineators in an alternating pattern to increase the ability for vehicles to pull over when an emergency vehicle is traveling down the street.
The design of the pilot was adjusted to provide more parking on Fifth Street in front of the American Legion, and alternative event parking locations such as the parking lot on Gabilan Court and the angled parking on Elko St. across from Fairview Middle School have been identified.
The pilot is scheduled to be in place until late July and staff will return to the July 17 Council meeting with a report on community survey data and bicycle and pedestrian count data for Council input on whether to make the project permanent or modify the design. This three-month period was selected because it takes several months for the public to adjust to a new roadway layout.
Staff and Ecology Action will make a presentation at the Council meeting as part of this report.
Packet Pg. 40
The Council can direct city staff to:
1. Remove half of “wave” delineators along the pilot project to provide space for vehicles to pull over farther than they are currently able to.
2. Remove all “wave” delineators.
3. Stop the pilot project and restore the striping to the pre-pilot project condition.
How Recommendation Supports the Vision
Gonzales will continue to be a safe, clean, family-friendly community, diverse in its heritage, and committed to working collaboratively to preserve and retain its small-town charm.
Explain: Installing a Separated Bike Lane Pilot Project along a portion of Fifth Street will enhance the quality of life of Gonzales residents through increasing the opportunities for biking and walking.

DATE: May 1, 2023
FROM: Mike Howard, Finance Director
THROUGH: Trevin W. Barber, City Manager
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Audited Financial Statements and Management Report
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council and Agency Board accept the City and Successor Agency’s Audited Financial Statements and Management Report for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022.
BACKGROUND
The State of California Government code (sections 25250 & 25253) require all general-purpose local government to issue an annual report on the financial position and activities of that government. The report must be presented in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and must be audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants (CPA) in conformance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAGAS). The goal of the audit by an independent firm is to provide reasonable assurance that the accounting transactions, practices, and procedures result in fair presentation of the financial position of the organization. In addition, the audit provides the same type of assurance about management’s assertions about the adequacy of internal accounting controls to safeguard the assets of the entities.
REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The independent auditor has rendered an unqualified audit opinion indicating that the City and Successor Agency are materially in compliance and has accounting records that properly reflect the financial position of those entities.
In addition to the audited financial statements, the auditors were required to perform what is called a Single Audit. This audit is required when the City has Federal Grant expenditures greater than $750,000.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Gonzales (the “City”), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Packet Pg. 56
Attachment: 2022 Financial Statements (2693 : Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Audited Financial Statements and Management Report) 2 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.
Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information on pages 47–51, the schedule of the City’s proportionate share of net pension liability on page 52, and the schedule of contributions on page 53, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and Packet Pg. 57
Attachment: 2022 Financial Statements (2693 : Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Audited Financial Statements and Management Report) 3 comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 24, 2023, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds (1,278,095) $ Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reporting Entity
The City of Gonzales (the City) is a municipal corporation, operating as a general law city, and governed by a city council of five members. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), these financial statements present the City of Gonzales (the primary government) and its component units. The component units discussed below are included in the City's reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationship with the City.
The Gonzales Public Financing Authority (the Authority) is governed by the City Council of the City of Gonzales.
Although, it is legally separate from the City, the Authority is reported as if it were part of the primary government because the City Council is the governing board and is able to impose its will on the Authority and management has the same operational responsibility for the Authority as it does for the rest of the City. The activity of the Authority is included as separate funds in the special revenue fund and debt service fund types. Separate financial statements are not issued by the Authority.
Basis of Presentation
The City has conformed to the pronouncements of the GASB, which are the primary authoritative statements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to state and local governments.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide Financial Statements (the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report information of all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the City. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely significantly on fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include 1) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds each of which is considered a separate accounting entity.
The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to, and accounted for, in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category - governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary – are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining funds are aggregated and reported as non-major funds.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements Funds
Major funds are defined as funds that have assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their fund-type (governmental and enterprise funds, respectively) total and five percent of the grand total. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.
The following types of governmental funds are used:
General Fund
The General fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds
Special revenue funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than debt service and capital projects) that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes.
Debt Service Funds
Debt service funds are used to account for and report the financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned for the payment of long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
General Fund – This fund accounts for all financial resources except those to be accounted for in another fund. It is the general operating fund of the City.
Community Development Block Grant Fund – This fund accounts for Federal Grant monies restricted for specific community programs, which includes the activity related to loans provided to homeowners and businesses and the repayment of these loans.
Measure X Fund – The fund is used to account for the City’s Transportation Safety and Investment Plan activities.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Fund Balance Classifications
The City’s fund balance policy establishes the procedures for reporting unrestricted fund balance (comprised of Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned categories) within the City’s governmental funds: General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Fund, and Capital Projects Funds.
Definitions
Fund balance is the difference between the assets and liabilities reported in the City’s governmental funds. There are generally limitations on the purpose for which all or a portion of the resources of a governmental fund may be used.
The force behind these limitations can vary significantly, depending upon their source. Consequently, the fund balance reported in the annual financial statements is categorized into five components whereby each component identifies the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the fund can be spent. The five components of fund balance are as follows:
Nonspendable: Resources that are 1) not in spendable form, such as inventories, prepaids, long-term receivables, or non-financial assets held for resale, or 2) required to be maintained intact such as an endowment.
Restricted: Resources that are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions; these restrictions would be either 1) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or 2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed: Resources that are constrained to specific purposes by a formal action of the City Council such as an ordinance or resolution. The constraint remains binding unless removed in the same formal manner by the City Council. Council action to commit fund balance must occur within the fiscal reporting period while the amount committed may be determined subsequently.
Assigned: Resources that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but that are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council or to an official which the City Council has delegated this authority.
Unassigned: Within the General Fund, the residual resources, either positive or negative, in excess of what can be properly classified in one of the other four fund balance categories. Within all other governmental funds, the negative residual resources in excess of what can be properly classified as nonspendable, restricted, or committed.
Policy
1. Unless necessary by other requirements and circumstances, when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to first apply restricted fund balance. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to first apply committed fund balance, then assigned fund balance, and finally unassigned fund balance.
2. The City’s Fund Balance policy delegates to the Finance Director the authority to assign unrestricted fund balance amounts where the City’s intent is for those amounts to be used for specific purposes. This delegation of authority is for the sole purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary fund financial statements include a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Change in Net Position, and a Statement of Cash Flows.
Proprietary fund types are accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting. This means that all assets and liabilities (whether current or non-current) associated with the activity are included on the Statement of Net Position. Their reported fund equity presents total net position. The operating statement of the proprietary funds presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.
Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when the liability is incurred.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds include the costs of sales and services, the costs of employee benefits, maintenance of capital assets, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
The City reported the following major proprietary (enterprise) funds:
Water Fund - This fund accounts for the activities for providing water service to the residents of the City. Sewer Fund - This fund accounts for the activities of providing sewer service to the residents of the City. Garbage Fund - This fund accounts for the activities of providing garbage service to the residents of the City. Solar Energy Fund – This fund accounts for the activities, the debt and the resources generated from the installation of solar energy panels.
Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, and other governmental units. The City maintains the Private Purpose Trust Fund for the Successor Agency of the former Redevelopment Agency.
Basis of Accounting
The government-wide, proprietary funds and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after fiscal year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent that they have matured. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Proceeds of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Other revenues susceptible to accrual include other taxes, intergovernmental revenues, interest, and charges for services.
Grant revenues are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements are met. Under the terms of grant agreements, the City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be available to finance program expenditures/expenses. The City's policy is to first apply restricted net position to such programs, followed by unrestricted net position.
Financial Statement Amounts
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The City maintains a pooled cash and investment program. Therefore, for purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers the entire pooled cash and investment balance to be cash and cash equivalents.
Investments of the pool include only those investments authorized by the California Government Code such as, United States Treasury securities, agencies guaranteed by the United States Government, registered state warrants, and other investments. Investments primarily consist of deposits in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund and certificates of deposit. Investments are recorded at amortized cost or fair value.
Fair value is based upon quoted market prices.
Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year.
Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.
The City pools its cash and investments of all funds with the City’s pool, except for assets held by fiscal agents.
Investment income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds based on each fund’s average cash and investment balance.
Accounts Receivable – Billed, but unpaid, services provided to individuals or non-governmental entities are recorded as accounts receivable. The Proprietary Funds include a year end accrual for services through the end of the fiscal year which have not yet been billed. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for uncollectibles.
Property taxes in the State of California are administered for all local agencies at the county level, and consist of secured, unsecured, and utility tax rolls. The following is a summary of major policies and practices relating to property taxes:

Attachment: 2022 Financial Statements (2693 : Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Audited Financial Statements and Management Report) 21 CITY OF GONZALES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Property Valuations - are established by the Assessor of the County of Monterey for the secured and unsecured property tax rolls; the utility property tax roll is valued by the State Board of Equalization. Under the provisions of Article XIIIA of the State Constitution (Proposition 13 adopted by the voters on June 6, 1978), properties are assessed at 100 percent of full value. From this base of assessment, subsequent annual increases in valuation are limited to a maximum of 2 percent. However, increases to full value are allowed for property improvements or upon change in ownership. Personal property is excluded from these limitations, and is subject to annual reappraisal.
Tax Levies - are limited to 1 percent of assessed value which results in a tax rate of $1 per $100 assessed valuation, under the provisions of Proposition 13. Tax rates for voter-approved indebtedness are excluded from this limitation.
Tax Levy Dates - are attached annually on January 1st, proceeding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. The fiscal year begins July 1st and ends June 30th of the following year. Taxes are levied on both real and unsecured personal property as it exists at that time. Liens against real estate, as well as the tax on personal property, are not relieved by subsequent renewal or change in ownership.
Tax Collections – are the responsibility of the county tax collector. Taxes and assessments on secured and utility rolls which constitute a lien against the property, may be paid in two installments: The first installment is due on November 1st of the fiscal year and is delinquent, if not paid, by December 10th; and the second installment is due on March 1st of the fiscal year and is delinquent, if not paid, by April 10th. Unsecured personal property taxes do not constitute a lien against real property unless the taxes become delinquent. Payment must be made in one installment, which is delinquent, if not paid, by August 31st of the fiscal year. Significant penalties are imposed by the County for late payments.
Advances To/From Other Funds – This classification represents non-current portions of any long-term lending/borrowing transactions between funds. This amount will be equally offset by a reserve of fund balance which indicates that it does not represent available financial resources and therefore, is not available for appropriation. The current portion of any interfund long-term loan (advance) is included as an interfund receivable/payable.
Capital Assets – Capital outlays are recorded as expenditures of the General, Special Revenue, and Capital Projects Funds and as assets in the Government-Wide Financial Statements to the extent the City’s capitalization threshold are met.
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the GovernmentWide Financial Statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial individual cost of more than $5,000 and with an estimated useful life of at least two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Betterments and major improvements which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend useful lives are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Years
Buildings 40
Improvements 20 - 40
Equipment 5 - 15
Infrastructure 20 - 70
Compensated Absences – The City has adopted policies on sick leave and vacation leave. Sick leave is accrued at the rate of eight hours per month by all employees. A portion of the accumulated sick leave will be paid to retiring or resigning employees with a minimum of fifteen years of service. All other employees who terminate employment will receive no compensation for accumulated sick leave.
Employees are only allowed to carry forward one year worth of vacation hours as of January 1 of each year. Vacation is accrued for employees as follows:
Years of Service Monthly Accrual Annually
0 to 2 6-2/3 hours Two weeks
3 to 9 10 hours Three weeks
10 to 15 11-2/3 hours Three weeks and 2-1/2 days
15+ 13-1/3 hours Four weeks
Upon termination of employment and, after completion of at least six months of service with the City, the accrued vacation leave shall be paid to the terminated employee.
Unearned Revenue – Unearned revenue is that for which asset recognition criteria have been met, but for which revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The City typically records unearned revenue related to uncollected outstanding performing loans and intergovernmental revenues received but not earned (qualifying expenditures not yet incurred).
Deferred Compensation Plan – City employees may defer a portion of their compensation under a City sponsored deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Under this Plan, participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of their compensation until distributed to them; distributions may be made only upon termination, retirement, death, or in an emergency as defined by the Plan. The assets of the Plan are not included within the City's financial statements.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Pension Plan – All full-time City employees are members of the State of California Public Employees’ Retirement System. The City’s policy is to fund all pension costs accrued; such costs to be funded are determined annually as of July 1 by the System’s actuary.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s Pension Plan and additions to/deductions from the City’s Pension Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the City’s Pension Plan. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Leases – The City is a lessee for a noncancellable lease of equipment. The City recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset (lease asset) in the government-wide and enterprise fund financial statements. The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs.
Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments. The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
Long-Term Obligations – In the Government-Wide Financial Statements and in the Proprietary Fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or Proprietary Fund Type Statement of Net Position. Debt principal payments of both government and business-type activities are reported as decreases in the balance of the liability on the Statement of Net Position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, however, debt principal payments of Governmental Funds are recognized as expenditures when paid. Governmental Fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts during the current period.
The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Net Position – The government-wide and business-type activities financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position are categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted and unrestricted. Net Investment in Capital Assets – This category groups all capital assets, including infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category. Restricted Net Position – This category presents external restrictions on net position imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position – This category represents net position of the City not restricted for any project or other purpose.
When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to apply restricted first. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to apply committed fund balance first, then assigned fund balance, and finally unassigned fund balance.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 – Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
California law authorizes the City to invest in obligations of the United States Treasury, agencies and instrumentalities, certificates of deposit or time deposits in banks and savings and loan associations which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
In accordance with applicable sections of the California Government Code and the Gonzales Municipal Code, the City prepares and legally adopts an annual balanced budget on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the General Fund, specific Special Revenue Funds, and specific Capital Projects Funds. Budget plans are adopted for Proprietary Funds. A proposed budget is presented to the City Council during June of each year for review. The Council holds public hearings and may add to, subtract from, or change appropriations within the revenues and reserves estimated as available. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. Supplementary appropriations which alter the total expenditures of any fund, or expenditures in excess of total budgeted fund appropriations, must be approved by the City Council.
All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end to the extent they have not been expended or encumbered.

Fair Value Measurements
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that a government can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs to valuation methodology include inputs – other than quoted prices included within Level 1 – that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within a fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

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

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type:
Minimum
Rating Unrated Aaa

Investment Type
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. There were no investments in any one issuer, other than U.S.
Treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment pools, that represent 5% or more of total City-wide investments as of June 30, 2022.
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 California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
At June 30, 2022, the balances held in bank accounts were (comprised of deposits, CD’s and money market accounts) collateralized by the pledging financial institution, but not in the City’s name. At June 30, 2022, total cash held in bank was $8,279,968 of which $8,029,968 was in excess of federal depository insurance limits.

Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California.

Note 10 – Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
GASB No. 65 establishes accounting and financial reporting standards that reclassify, as deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources, certain items that were previously reported as assets and liabilities and recognizes, as outflows of resources or inflows or resources, certain items that were previously reported as assets and liabilities.
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows or resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and thus, will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City has one item to report in this category:
The City has $1,312,629 in pension related items that qualify to be reported in deferred outflows of resources.
The pension related deferred outflows of resources are described in Note 13.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represent an acquisition of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has two items to report in this category:
The City has $1,269,138 in pension related items that qualify to be reported in deferred inflows of resources. The pension related deferred inflows of resources are described in Note 13.
Unavailable revenues arise only under a modified accrual basis of accounting and is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The City has $1,778,360 in notes and loans receivable reported as deferred inflows of resources reported for unavailable revenues. Of this amount $1,481,979, $110,046, and $186,335 is reported in the Community Block Grant Fund, Infrastructure Improvements Fund, and Housing Successor Fund, respectively See Note 4 for details.

Note 13 – Pension Plan (Continued)
Discount rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for PERF C was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected rate of returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The long-term expected real rates of return by asset class can be found in CalPERS’ Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
The table below reflects long-term expected real rates of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. The geometric rates of return are net of administrative expenses.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER
MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Gonzales, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Gonzales (the “City”), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated April 24, 2023.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Packet Pg. 115 Attachment: 2022 Financial Statements (2693 : Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Audited Financial Statements and Management Report) 59 Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Gonzales, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited City of Gonzales (the “City”), California’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2022. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with 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 opinion on compliance for each major federal program.
Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s federal programs.
Packet Pg. 117 Attachment: 2022 Financial Statements (2693 : Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Audited Financial Statements and Management Report) 61 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about City’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Packet Pg. 118 Attachment: 2022 Financial Statements (2693 : Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Audited Financial Statements and Management Report) 62 Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

City of Gonzales, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Gonzales for the year ended June 30, 2022. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and, if applicable, Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated July 1, 2020. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by City of Gonzales are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. As described in Note 15 to the financial statements, the City changed accounting policies related to leases by adopting Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 87, Leases, in 2022. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the accounting change as of the beginning of the year is reported in the Government-wide and Water Fund financials. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year that were both significant and unusual, and of which, under professional standards, we are required to inform you, or transactions for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance and consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
We noted no transactions entered into by City of Gonzales during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Management has determined the economic useful lives of fixed assets based on past history of similar types of assets, future plans as to their use, and other factors that impact their economic value to the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used by management in computing depreciation expense and believe that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Packet Pg. 126 Attachment: 2022 Management Letter (2693 : Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Audited Financial Statements and Management Report) 2 Management’s estimate of the net pension liability and related deferrals is based on actuarial valuations which include significant assumptions regarding discount rate, inflation, payroll growth, projected salary increases and investment rate of return. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the liability and related deferrals in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated April 24, 2023.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to City of Gonzales’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Packet Pg. 127 Attachment: 2022 Management Letter (2693 : Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Audited Financial Statements and Management Report) 3 Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as City of Gonzales’s auditors.
However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Budgetary Comparison Schedules, Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability, and Schedule of Contributions which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
Restriction on Use
This information is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of City of Gonzales and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.
Very truly yours,
