Date: December 10, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Mayor's Appointments of Delegates and Alternates City Manager's Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-116-3704 entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE APPOINTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES AS OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CITY" reading by title only and waiving further reading thereof.
Administrative Action:
Submitted/Reviewed by:
Theresa Olivares, Assistant City Manager
Prepared by:
Laura Nieto, Chief Deputy City Clerk
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
The Mayor, at the beginning of his/her term, makes appointments to various organizations. Some of these organizations require formal action by the Council in the form of a resolution. Rather than prepare several resolutions, staff has incorporated all appointments into one resolution for Council adoption.
On December 11, 2024, the City Council appointed Councilmember Garcia to the San Gabriel Valley Vector Control Board for a four-year term, ending December 31, 2028 and is therefore not included in
the proposed resolution. At the meeting of April 23, 2025, the City Council appointed Councilmember Ambriz and Mayor Burrola as the delegate and alternate, respectively, to the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments Homelessness Committee through December 31, 2025. That appointment has been included in the resolution.
Attached is a brief summary relating to the individual organizations and the current list of delegates and alternates, as appointed on December 11, 2024 for calendar year 2025.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Date: December 10, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Presentation on the Proposed Purchase of an Armored Vehicle for the Irwindale Police Department
City Manager's Recommendation:
Receive presentation on the proposed purchase of an armored vehicle for the Irwindale Police Department.
Administrative Action:
Submitted/Prepared by:
Chris Hofford, Chief of Police
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
Modern best practices in policing requires that staff continually assesses the state of equipment available to officers of the Irwindale Police Department (IPD). The IPD has identified the need to enhance its operational capabilities in responding to high-risk situations, including armed barricade situations, active shooter incidents, hostage scenarios, and civilian rescue during times of man-made or natural disasters.
The Lenco BearCat is the industry standard for a modern, tactical armored vehicle. It is widely used by police officers across the United States. It is the only vehicle on the market that provides the high level of ballistic protection - up to and including the .50 BMG round - that is available in the configuration needed and with the options desired. Designed to provide ballistic protection, rapid deployment capabilities, and enhanced personnel safety, the BearCat is engineered to withstand small arms fire, improvised explosive devices, and other high-risk threats encountered in urban and suburban
operational environments.
The acquisition of a BearCat is aligned with the department’s commitment to public safety and officer preparedness, offering both tactical and non-tactical applications, such as civilian evacuations, disaster response, and community support operations during high-risk events.
The BearCat’s armor plating and ballistic protection significantly reduce the risk of injury during highthreat operations. This capability allows officers to approach potentially dangerous situations with a lower risk profile. In hostage, barricade, or active shooter situations, the BearCat can be used to evacuate civilians from danger zones, providing a safe barrier between threats and the public.
Beyond tactical operations, the vehicle is suitable for disaster response, including flood or mud evacuations, and can transport emergency personnel and supplies safely through hazardous conditions.
Fiscal Impact:
The presentation will have no impact on the General Fund.

From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Public Hearing Regarding Adoption of an Urgency Ordinance to Approve the Irwindale Police Department's Updated Military Equipment Inventory Mandated by AB 481 City Manager's Recommendation:
Conduct the duly noticed public hearing, and adopt an urgency ordinance by title only, waiving further reading Ordinance No. 812 entitled, “URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36937(B) APPROVING AND
ADOPTING INVENTORY UPDATES OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT POLICY AS PART OF THE IRWINDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY MANUAL IN COMPLIANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 481” Administrative Action:
Submitted/Prepared by:
Chris Hofford, Chief of Police
Reviewed by:
Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), codified in Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, requires a Law Enforcement Agency (“LEA”) to obtain approval from the applicable governing body via adoption of a
“military equipment” use policy prior to the LEA funding, acquiring, or using such equipment. The Irwindale Police Department ("IPD") seeks City Council's renewed approval of the attached Military Equipment Use Policy – IPD Manual Policy 705 (Attachment A), to allow IPD to continue to use the vital equipment specified therein.
Items deemed to be “military equipment” by AB 481 are used as a component of overall best practices for LEAs throughout the country. These tools have been used for many years by most LEAs to enhance citizen and officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of citizens and peace officers within the IPD.
The term “military equipment” as used in AB 481 does not necessarily indicate equipment that has actually been used by the United States military. Within the meaning of AB 481, items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, "flashbang" light/sound diversionary devices, and carbine rifles.
On February 22, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 766, adopting a Military Equipment Policy governing the use of items that are deemed "military equipment" under AB 481. The City Council renewed this ordinance on March 27, 2024, approving the amended policy and military equipment inventory. At the meeting of September 10, 2025, the CIty Council received the Annual Report on Military Equipment and scheduled tonight's public hearing, which is mandated by AB 481, so that community members can pose questions or provide input regarding this topic.
IPD's Military Equipment Policy, attached, contains a full and current inventory of all military equipment presently owned by the City.

ORDINANCE NO. 812
URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36937(B)
APPROVING AND ADOPTING INVENTORY UPDATES OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT
POLICY AS PART OF THE IRWINDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY MANUAL IN COMPLIANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 481
WHEREAS, on September 30, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 481 relating to the use of military equipment by California law enforcement agencies; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 481 seeks to provide transparency, oversight, and an opportunity for meaningful public input on decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, or used by law enforcement agencies; and WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 481, codified at California Government Code section 7070, et. seq., requires law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by an ordinance adopting a "military equipment" use policy, at a regular meeting held pursuant to open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. The term "military equipment" is defined in California Government Code section 7070 subdivision (c); and WHEREAS, the Irwindale Police Department is in possession of certain items of equipment that may qualify as "military equipment" under Assembly Bill 481. Items deemed to be "military equipment" by AB 481 do not necessarily indicate that the items are only used by the military. Items deemed "military equipment" are used as a component of overall best practices by law enforcement agencies throughout the country. These tools have been tested in the field and are used by agencies to enhance citizen and officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of citizens and peace officers within the City of Irwindale and surrounding communities; and WHEREAS, many of the items deemed to be "military equipment" by AB 481 are in fact employed by Irwindale Police Department and law enforcement agencies across the country in order to specifically reduce risk to community members. These items provide peace officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. To that end, the items at issue in this report and accompanying Military Equipment Use Policy also provide Irwindale Police Department with vital tools that facilitate compliance with its stringent use of force policy; and WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 481 requires that a law enforcement agency possessing and using such qualifying equipment prepare a publicly released, written, military equipment use policy. The policy must be a document covering the inventory, description,
purpose, use, acquisition, maintenance, fiscal impacts, procedures, training, oversight, and complaint process, applicable to the Department's use of such equipment; and WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 481 allows the governing body of a city to approve the military equipment use policy for continued or future funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it makes the determinations specified in Government Code Section 7071 subdivision (d); and
WHEREAS, the military equipment use policy and supporting information must, upon adoption by ordinance, thereafter be approved by the City Council by ordinance and reviewed annually; and
WHEREAS, the proposed military equipment use policy, including military equipment inventory, was prepared by the Irwindale Police Department and identified as "IPD Policy 705 — Military Equipment Policy" ("Policy 705"); and WHEREAS, the updated Irwindale Police Department's Policy 705 was published on the Irwindale Police Department's internet website at the following address:
https://www.irwindaleca.gov/360/Department-Policies on July 2, 2025, in compliance with Government Code Section 7071 subdivision (b); and
WHEREAS, the Irwindale Police Department's Policy was presented to City Council on September 10, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the Irwindale Police Department's Policy meets the requirements of California Government Code Section 7070 subdivision (d); and WHEREAS, the City of Irwindale City Council, having received the information required under Assembly Bill 481 regarding the Irwindale Police Department's use of military equipment as defined in said law, and making the specified determinations required under Government Code Section 7071 subdivision (d), desires to deem it in the best interest of the City to approve the Irwindale Police Department's Military Equipment Use Policy as set forth herein.

SECTION 3. This Ordinance is adopted pursuant to the provisions set forth in Government Code Section 36937(b) and takes effect December 10, 2025, for the preservation of the public peace, health, and safety. The City Council of the City of Irwindale finds, by a minimum 4/5 vote of its membership, that there is a significant public interest in ensuring that law enforcement continues to have access to equipment that will provide peace officers as many options as possible to safeguard lives, ensure safety, and protect civil liberties. Loss of these items would pose an immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare because there is an immediate need to protect the welfare of citizens and peace officers within the City of Irwindale and surrounding communities. The use of the tools and equipment identified in the Equipment Use Policy are vital to Irwindale Police Department's mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal processes and oversight. The policy ensures that there are safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures in place.
SECTION 4. The Irwindale Police Department "IPD Policy 705 — Military Equipment Use Policy," attached hereto, is approved, adopted, and hereby deemed renewed. Based on the findings and recitals above as incorporated herein, the City Council determines as follows:
1. The Irwindale Police Department's Military Equipment Use Policy is necessary because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety.
2. The Irwindale Police Department's Military Equipment Use Policy will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties, as set forth above.
3. The military equipment identified in the Irwindale Police Department's Military Equipment Use Policy is reasonably cost effective compared to available alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety.
4.

c. The City Council shall review this ordinance, and vote on whether to renew it, on an annual basis at a regular meeting, in accordance with Government Code Section 7071(e)(1).
SECTION 5. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute all documents and to perform all other acts necessary to implement this Ordinance.
SECTION 6. The City Council of the City of Irwindale hereby finds that all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this ordinance have occurred. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each of every section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 7. This ordinance shall take effect immediately as an urgency ordinance pursuant to the provisions set forth in Government Code Section 36937(b) and qualifying minimum of 4/5 vote of the City Council.
SECTION 8. The Chief Deputy City Clerk shall certify the passage of this urgency ordinance and shall cause the same to be posted in accordance with law.

To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Successor Agency Board From: Julian A. Miranda, Executive Director
Issue: Consideration of Resolution No. SA 2025-109-3697 of the City of Irwindale as Successor Agency to the Irwindale Community Redevelopment Agency Approving a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and Administrative Budget for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027
City Manager's Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. SA 2025-109-3697 entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Irwindale as Successor Agency to the Irwindale Community Redevelopment Agency Approving a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and Administrative Budget for The Twelve-Month Fiscal Period Beginning July 1, 2026 and Ending June 30, 2027.” Administrative Action:
Submitted / Prepared / Reviewed by:
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Reviewed by:
Adrian R. Guerra, General Counsel
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, Executive Director
Background and Analysis:
Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Sections 34177(l) and 34177(o) require the Successor
Agency to the Irwindale Community Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”) to prepare and submit a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”), prior to each 12-month fiscal period, to the Oversight Board, County Auditor-Controller, State Controller’s Office (“SCO”), and State Department of Finance (“DOF”) for review and approval. For the ROPS period of July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 (“ROPS 26-27”), the statute requires that an Oversight Board-approved ROPS be submitted electronically to the DOF no later than February 1, 2026.
The ROPS provides the Successor Agency’s enumeration and estimates of outstanding enforceable obligations for the upcoming 12-month ROPS period beginning July 1, 2026, and derives the amount of funds that may be available in past ROPS carryover and other cash balances for future payments.
The ROPS 26-27 will serve as the final ROPS to be submitted by the Successor Agency, as all outstanding obligations are scheduled to be paid off during the first half of this period. Upon completion of the final payments, the Successor Agency will commence the dissolution process.
ROPS 26-27 Enforceable Obligations
The ROPS 26-27 contains the same enforceable obligations listed on the last ROPS, except the 2006 Subordinate Lien Tax Allocation Bonds, 2014 Tax Allocation Refunding Parity Bonds, and 2014 Taxable Housing Tax Allocation Refunding Parity Bonds, which were paid off in the ROPS 25-26 period. The ROPS 26-27 line items include the following:
• Debt service on 2005 Taxable Housing Parity Bonds and 2006 Tax Allocation Refunding Parity Bonds (Line Items #3 and #4)
• Bond-related costs, including fiscal agent fees, bond arbitrage calculation fees, and continuing disclosure costs (Line Items #7, #8, and #34)
• Administrative allowance (Line Item #13), which is limited to the greater of $250,000 per year, or 3 percent of the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”) distributed in the prior fiscal year, excluding the administrative allowance and any City/former redevelopment agency loan repayments. However, the administrative allowance cannot exceed 50 percent of RPTTF distributed in the prior fiscal year, excluding the administrative allowance and any City/former redevelopment agency loan repayments. In the Successor Agency’s case, the maximum allowable ROPS 26-27 administrative allowance is $250,000, which is the amount being requested. Pursuant to HSC Section 34177(j), the Successor Agency prepared a Fiscal Year 2026- 27 Administrative Budget. The Administrative Budget is included as Exhibit B to the resolution.
ROPS 26-27 Cash Balance
The Successor Agency is required to calculate the amount of funds that may be available in past ROPS carryover and other cash balances for future payments. If the Successor Agency spent less than it estimated in prior ROPS periods or currently has funds from revenue received apart from the ROPS process (such as rent income, interest, and property sales proceeds), fund balances should be used to pay for enforceable obligations and, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1484, the DOF will decrease the distribution of RPTTF to the Successor Agency
for a future ROPS period by the surplus amount.
The ROPS 26–27 cash balance reconciliation is based on activity in the ROPS 23-24 period.
As reported on the Cash Balances tab of the ROPS 26-27 form, the Successor Agency had $430,454 of cash as of the end of the ROPS 23-24 period that is available to be spent in the ROPS 26-27 period. The DOF will ensure that the Successor Agency’s approved ROPS 26-27 distribution amount accounts for the cash that the Successor Agency already has available to be spent in the ROPS 26-27 period.
DOF Review
Upon submittal of an Oversight Board-approved ROPS, the DOF has 45 days to make its determination of the enforceable obligations, including amounts and funding sources. Within five business days of the DOF’s determination, the Successor Agency may request additional review and an opportunity to meet and confer on disputed items. The DOF has up to 15 days prior to the date for property tax distribution to make its final decision. The RPTTF distribution date for ROPS 26-27A is on or about June 1, 2026. The Successor Agency is not requesting a ROPS 26-27B RPTTF distribution, as all outstanding obligations are scheduled to be paid off during the ROPS 26-27A period.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of the ROPS is necessary for the Successor Agency to continue making payments on indebtedness, contracts, and other enforceable obligations. Overall, the Successor Agency is requesting $279,000 of RPTTF to fund enforceable obligations due in the ROPS 26-27 period. Residual RPTTF revenues would be apportioned by the County Auditor-Controller to affected taxing agencies based on each entity’s share of the property tax levy.
By not adopting the ROPS, the Successor Agency would risk defaulting on loans and other debt agreements, and not being able to fund certain expenses and operations, which would also impact the City’s General Fund. Furthermore, failure to submit a Countywide Oversight Board-approved ROPS to the State will also result in a penalty of $10,000 per day assessed against the City (as the City, not as the Successor Agency) for each day the ROPS is late. By utilizing non-RPTTF monies to pay for ROPS 26–27 obligations, the Successor Agency will increase the amount of residual RPTTF that the City will collect from the County Auditor-Controller, which is roughly 10 percent of the total residual pool of monies.

Background and Analysis:
SB 341 Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2024-25
Senate Bill 341, which became law on January 1, 2014, requires "housing successors" – cities, counties, and housing authorities that have taken over housing functions for former redevelopment agencies to follow new expenditure and accounting rules beginning January 1, 2014. HSC Section 34176.1(f) requires housing successors to prepare a Housing Successor Compliance Report (“SB 341 Report”) annually regarding the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF). The purpose of this SB 341 Report is to provide the governing body of the Housing Successor with an annual report on the housing assets, activities and expenditures of the Housing Successor during the year, under Part 1.85, Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code, in particular sections 34176 and 34176.1. The SB 341 Report must be presented to the Housing Successor governing body within six months after the end of each fiscal year. This report, as well as the former redevelopment agency’s Implementation Plan, must be posted on the City’s website.
Housing Asset Fund Deposits and Ending Balance
At the close of FY 2024-25, the ending balance of the Housing Asset Fund was $6,160,598. During the five-year reporting period (July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2025), a minimum of 30% must be spent on rental housing for households earning 30% or less of the AMI (extremely-low-income) and a maximum of 20% may be spent on households earning between 60% and 80% of the AMI (low-income). In FY 2024–25, the Housing Authority spent $901,720 on the Las Casitas Senior Apartment leasehold interest acquisition. Based on the property’s affordability mix, 36% of this expenditure benefits extremely lowincome households and 20% contributes to low-income households.
Excess Surplus
HSC Section 34176.1 (d) defines excess surplus as “an unencumbered amount in the account that exceeds the greater of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the housing successor’s preceding four fiscal years, whichever is greater.” It has been determined that the Housing Authority does not have an excess surplus for FY 2024-25.
The Authority retained the services of LSL, LLP to perform the independent audit and RSG to prepare the SB 341 Report for Fiscal Year 2024-25. The totals in the Housing Successor Financial Statements represent the final numbers of the Housing Successor’s financial position as of June 30, 2025. The report will be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development as an attachment to the SB 341 Report.
Fiscal Impact:
An independent audit of the Irwindale Housing Successor is conducted annually, and this year’s results are presented in the Irwindale Housing Successor Financial Statement Report attached as part of the SB 341 Report. In addition to this report, the Auditors also issue a report on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and other matters. The purpose of this report is to obtain reasonable assurance that Housing Successor’s financial statements are free from material misstatements. The results of their test disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Fund Balance for the Housing Successor was $6,160,598.

3 IRWINDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report
INTRODUCTION
REDEVELOPMENT DISSOLUTION
As a result of Assembly Bill (“AB”) x1 26, all redevelopment agencies in California were dissolved on February 1, 2012. This change to property tax finance has resulted in the complete elimination of the major source of local, publicly generated dollars earmarked for affordable housing. Thus, housing authorities were left in a challenging position – the need for them is greater than ever, but a key funding source has been eliminated.
On August 27, 1987, the City Council of the City of Irwindale (“City Council”) approved Resolution No. 87-15-1117, establishing the Irwindale Housing Authority (“Housing Authority”). The Housing Authority now administers housing assets transferred from the former Irwindale Community Redevelopment Agency (“ICRA”) in 2012. The ICRA dissolved on February 1, 2012, pursuant to the Dissolution Act enacted by AB x1 26 and 1484 (Parts 1.8 and 1.85 of the California Health and Safety Code, or “H&SC”). Pursuant to Resolution No. 2012-09-2548, on January 11, 2012, the City of Irwindale (“City”) elected to designate the Housing Authority as the “housing successor”, an entity that accepts the housing assets and liabilities of a former redevelopment agency.
The Housing Authority thereby inherited all rights, powers, assets, liabilities, duties, and obligations associated with the housing activities of the former ICRA. All former ICRA housing assets and liabilities were transferred to the Housing Authority through the Housing Asset Transfer Form submitted to the California Department of Finance (“DOF”) on August 1, 2012. On September 5, 2012, the DOF issued a letter stating that it did not object to any of the transfers.
It is important to note that, although the Housing Authority inherited the ICRA’s assets and functions, it does not have an ongoing financing mechanism to maintain them, like the ICRA had. The former ICRA primarily funded projects with Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds generated by redevelopment tax increment; this tool was abolished with the dissolution of redevelopment.
ASSET TRANSFERS TO THE HOUSING SUCCESSOR
According to H&SC Section 34176(e), housing assets may include the following:
• Real property
• Restrictions on the use of property
• Personal property in a residence
4 IRWINDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report • Housing-related files
• Office supplies and software programs acquired for low- and moderate-income housing purposes
• Funds encumbered by an enforceable obligation
• Loans or grants receivable funded from the former Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund • Funds derived from rents or operation of properties acquired for low- and moderate-income housing purposes
• Rents or payments from housing tenants or operators of low- and moderate-income housing • Repayment of Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (“SERAF”) loans REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF H&SC SECTION 34176.1(f)
Commencing January 1, 2014, H&SC Section 34176.1(f) requires the preparation of an annual report (“Housing Successor Compliance Report”) for housing successors that received assets and other duties from a former redevelopment agency. Originally created by Senate Bill 341 (“SB 341”) in the 2013-14 legislative session and later amended by subsequent legislation, the law describes the contents of these annual reports, as well as the context of this information relative to various compliance periods.
The purpose of the report is to provide the public information regarding the use of all former redevelopment agency housing assets, which are kept in a separate fund known as the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (“Housing Asset Fund” or “Housing Asset Funds”).
For most housing successors, the annual report is prepared at the same time as the annual audit also required by law, and must contain the following information:
1. Total amount deposited in the Housing Asset Fund during the fiscal year
2. Statement of balance at the close of the fiscal year
3. Description of expenditures for the fiscal year, categorized as follows:
a. Rapid rehousing for homelessness prevention (up to $500,000 per year allowable) b. Administrative and monitoring expenses (up to the greater of $200,000, adjusted annually commensurate to the change in the Consumer Price Index, or 5 percent of
5 IRWINDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report the statutory value of real property owned by the housing successor and of loans and grants receivable allowable)
c. Development of affordable housing, which must be reported by the amount spent for each income group (extremely low-, very low-, and low-income)
4. Other “portfolio” balances
a. Statutory value of any real property either transferred from the former ICRA or purchased by the housing successor; note that the housing successor may only hold property for five years
b. Value of loans and grants receivable, including loans and grants transferred from the former ICRA and made by the housing successor
5. Descriptions of any transfers to another housing successor for a joint project
6. Description of any project still funded through the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”)
7. Update on property disposition for any property owned more than five years or plans for property owned less than five years
8. Description of any outstanding production obligations of the former redevelopment agency that were inherited by the housing successor
9. Compliance with proportionality requirements (income group targets); compliance must be met for five-year periods
10. Percentage of deed-restricted rental housing restricted to seniors and assisted by the housing successor, the former ICRA, and the City within the past 10 years, compared to the total number of units assisted by these three agencies within the past 10 years
11. Amount of excess surplus, and if any, the plan for eliminating it
12. An inventory of homeownership units assisted by the former redevelopment agency or the housing successor that are subject to covenants, restrictions, or an adopted program that protects the investment of moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund; the inventory must include the following information: number of units, any units lost since dissolution, any funds returned to the housing successor as a result of the program, and the name of any entity contracted to manage the units

LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING ASSET FUND
The Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund replaces the former ICRA’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. The Housing Asset Fund includes all assets that were transferred from the ICRA to the Housing Authority via the Housing Asset Transfer Form, which included the following:
1. Real properties
2. Affordable housing covenants
3. Loan receivables
4. Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund Loan repayments
HOUSING ASSET FUND DEPOSITS AND ENDING BALANCE
During Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2024-25, the Housing Authority deposited $489,877 into the Housing Asset Fund. Table 1 details the sources of revenue. There were no deposits into the Housing Asset Fund related to the ROPS.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report At the close of FY 2024-25, the ending balance in the Housing Asset Fund was $6,160,598, which is detailed by category in Table 2 below. No portion of the balance is being held for items listed on the ROPS.
EXPENDITURE REGULATIONS
The law provides the following guidelines for expenditures from the Housing Asset Fund:
1. Administrative costs, which include housing monitoring expenses, are capped as the greater of $200,000 (adjusted annually commensurate with the change in the Consumer Price Index) or 5% of the statutory value of real property owned by the housing successor and of loans and grants receivable. In the Housing Authority’s case, the latter is greater at $552,172.
2. As of FY 2024-25, a housing successor is authorized to spend up to $500,000 per year on rapid rehousing solutions for homelessness prevention if the housing successor has fulfilled the former ICRA’s outstanding housing production requirements. At redevelopment dissolution, the former ICRA had an outstanding obligation of 12 replacement bedrooms, all of which the Housing Authority has since replaced. Thus, the Housing Authority is permitted to make expenditures on rapid rehousing. The Housing Authority did not make any expenditures on rapid rehousing in FY 2024-25.
3. Remaining expenditures must be spent to develop housing affordable to households earning 80% or less of the area median income (“AMI”). This means that no funding may be spent on moderate-income households, as was previously allowable by redevelopment law.
Additionally, of the money expended, a minimum of 30% must be spent on rental housing for households earning 30% or less of the AMI (“extremely-low income”), and a maximum of 20% Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Asset Fund Ending Balance Table 2 Irwindale Housing Authority

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report may be spent on housing for households earning between 60% and 80% of the AMI (“lowincome”). These limits are shown in the below graphic.
Failure to comply with the 30% extremely low-income requirement in any five-year period would result in the Housing Authority being required to expend 50% of remaining funds on extremely low-income rental units until in compliance. Exceeding the expenditure limit for households earning between 60% and 80% of the AMI in any five-year reporting period will result in the Housing Authority not being permitted to expend any funds on these income categories until in compliance.
Note that housing successors must report expenditures by household income category each year, but compliance is assessed every five years. For example, a housing successor could spend all funds in a single year on households earning between 60% and 80% of the AMI, as long as the amount spent on those households was 20% or less of the total expenditures during the entire five-year compliance period. The third compliance period is from FY 2024- 25 through FY 2028-29. Thus, FY 2024-25 is the first year of the third five-year compliance period.

9 IRWINDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report
EXPENDITURE SUMMARY
The Housing Authority’s administrative costs in FY 2024-25 at $410,143 were compliant with HCD’s limit of $552,172, which represents 5% of the statutory value of real property owned by the housing successor and of loans and grants receivable.
The Housing Authority did not make any expenditures on rapid rehousing in FY 2024-25, therefore the limits are not applicable.
The Housing Authority expended approximately $902,000 on the purchase of the leasehold interest for the Las Casitas Senior Apartment Complex. The property is a mixed-income development originally constructed prior to the effective date of SB 341. The Housing Authority already owned the underlying property but purchased the leasehold interest to preserve affordability and maintain longterm control of the asset. The Authority also intends to rehabilitate the property to ensure quality housing for residents.
Table 3 below displays the income-level expenditure breakdown for this acquisition and administrative expenditures during FY 2024–25.

1 Annual administrative and monitoring expenditures are capped at $200,000 (adjusted annually commensurate with the change in the Consumer Price Index) or a percentage of the statutory value of the housing successor's real property and loans and grants receivable, whichever is greater; the percentage is 2% in Fiscal Years 2013-14 and 2014-15 and 5% thereafter. Thus, the cap can vary each year, as it has in the Housing Authority's case.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report During the previous five-year compliance period FY 2019-20 through FY 2023-24, the Housing Authority did not achieve the requirement to dedicate 30% of all expenditures to extremely low-income households. The Housing Authority spent funds on various income levels, including very low- and low-income households. Under SB 341, this triggers the corrective rule requiring that at least 50% of all new Housing Asset Fund expenditures be directed to extremely low-income rental housing until the shortfall is resolved.
In FY 2024–25, the Authority spent approximately $901,720 on the Las Casitas leasehold acquisition.
Based on the property’s affordability mix, 36% of this expenditure, or $324,619, benefits extremely low-income households. While this is below the 50% corrective threshold for the year, it reduces the cumulative shortfall toward compliance.
The total expenditure amount required to satisfy the prior five-year extremely low income requirement is $1,592,086, which is 30% of all expenditures on housing development made during the second five-year compliance period. With this year’s contribution, the remaining shortfall is reduced accordingly to approximately $1,267,467. The Housing Authority will continue to prioritize extremely low-income expenditures in future years until compliance is achieved and the 50% rule no longer applies.
Additionally, the Las Casitas property was constructed prior to the effective date of SB 341 and includes moderate-income households, which was permitted under the regulations in place at the time of development. The Housing Authority’s purchase of the leasehold interest does not create new moderate-income units; the affordability mix was established before SB 341 requirements applied
STATUTORY VALUE OF REAL PROPERTIES AND LOAN RECEIVABLES The Housing Authority must report on the statutory value of real property and loans and grants transferred from the former ICRA to the Housing Asset Fund, as well as real property purchased with Housing Asset Fund monies and loans and grants made by the housing successor. The total loan receivables amount of $11,043,433 is shown in Table 4 below.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report
MONEY TRANSFERS FOR JOINT PROJECTS
H&SC Section 34176.1(c)(2) allows two or more housing successors within a county, within a single metropolitan statistical area, within 15 miles of each other, or that are in contiguous jurisdictions to enter into an agreement to transfer funds among their respective Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds.
The law requires housing successors to provide (a) a description of any transfers made to other housing successors for joint projects and (b) a description of and status update on any project for which transferred funds have been or will be expended if that project has not yet been placed in service.
On May 8, 2019, the Housing Authority Board approved Resolution No. HA 2019-02-075 authorizing the Housing Authority to transfer an amount not to exceed $550,000 from its Housing Asset Fund to the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles. In FY 2018-19, the Housing Authority transferred $539,000 to the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles for the development of 34 apartment units located at 4101-4117 Whittier Boulevard in unincorporated East Los Angeles County. The 34 units includes 33 permanent supportive housing units and one manager’s unit. The target population to be served by this project is homeless veterans and homeless persons with mental illness. The transferred funds were used to assist only rental units that are affordable to households earning no more than 30% AMI. The Certificate of Occupancy was issued for the project in March 2023. The building achieved full occupancy in August 2023.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report
PROJECTS FUNDED THROUGH RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENTS SCHEDULES The law requires housing successors to provide a description of (a) any project for which the housing successor receives or holds property tax revenue received pursuant to ROPS and (b) the status of that project. In FY 2024-25, the Housing Authority did not receive any property tax revenue for projects pursuant to ROPS.
PROPERTY DISPOSITION COMPLIANCE
H&SC Section 34176.1(e) requires that all real properties acquired by the ICRA prior to February 1, 2012 and transferred to the Housing Authority be developed pursuant to the requirements detailed in H&SC Section 33334.16. Development for affordable housing purposes must be initiated for all properties that fall within these parameters by five years from the date that the DOF approved the Housing Asset Transfer Form, which was September 5, 2017 in the Housing Authority’s case. If the Housing Authority is unable to develop these properties within the five-year period, the law does allow for a five-year extension via adoption of a resolution.
One property, consisting of three parcels located at 16203, 16223, and 16233 Arrow Highway, was purchased by the former ICRA in 2008 and transferred to the Housing Authority after redevelopment dissolution. As of September 5, 2017 (the Housing Authority’s five-year property disposition deadline), the Housing Authority was under contract to sell the property, which constitutes initiation of development for affordable housing purposes. Nonetheless, out of an abundance of caution, the Housing Authority Board adopted a resolution in December 2017 that extended the deadline for five years to September 5, 2022. On April 3, 2020, the Housing Authority sold the property to Panattoni Development Company for $4,150,000. Upon the close of escrow, designated the sales proceeds for the development of affordable housing. Thus, the Housing Authority complied with H&SC Section 34176.1(e).
OUTSTANDING INCLUSIONARY AND REPLACEMENT HOUSING OBLIGATIONS At the time of redevelopment dissolution, the former ICRA had an outstanding obligation of 7 units with 12 replacement bedrooms. The Housing Authority is required to fulfill this obligation. Pursuant to H&SC Section 33413(f), the Housing Authority may replace the removed or destroyed units with a fewer number of units if (1) the total number of bedrooms in the replacement units equal or exceed the number of bedrooms in the destroyed units and (2) the replacement units are affordable to the same income level as the destroyed units. As of the end of Fiscal Year 2017-18, the Housing Authority replaced all 12 bedrooms. These replacement units are affordable to the same income level as the destroyed units. Thus, the Housing Authority complied with H&SC Section 33413(f).
13 IRWINDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report
SENIOR HOUSING EXPENDITURE PROPORTIONALITY
This report must include an accounting of the percentage of deed-restricted rental housing units restricted to seniors and assisted by the housing successor, the former ICRA, and the City within the past 10 years, compared to the total number of deed-restricted rental housing units assisted by those three agencies within the past 10 years. If this percentage is greater than 50 percent, the Housing Authority is prohibited from the use of additional Housing Asset Funds to subsidize any senior rental units. The Housing Authority and the former ICRA has assisted 25 affordable rental housing units since June 30, 2013, 100% of which are restricted to seniors at the Las Casitas Senior Apartment Complex. However, the Housing Authority is obligated to continue subsidizing the rents at the units at the Las Casitas Senior Apartment Complex, pursuant to agreements that predate the January 1, 2014 effective date of SB 341. As such, the Housing Authority will continue to abide by these agreements by subsidizing the rents at the Las Casitas Senior Apartment Complex with Housing Asset Funds.
EXCESS SURPLUS
Excess surplus calculations were once performed by redevelopment agencies on an annual basis and were intended to ensure that funds are expended to benefit low-income households in an expeditious manner. The law reinstates this calculation for housing successors. Excess surplus is defined by H&SC Section 34176.1(d) as an unencumbered amount in the account that exceeds the greater of one million dollars or the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the housing successor’s preceding four fiscal years. If a housing successor fails to comply, it must transfer any excess surplus to HCD within 90 days of the end of the third fiscal year.
In FY 2023-24, the Housing Authority accumulated an excess surplus of $1,235,094. The Housing Authority spent $1,311,863 in FY 2024-25, eliminating completely the excess surplus as shown in Table 5 below.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Housing Successor Compliance Report Table 6 shows the Housing Authority’s excess surplus calculation for FY 2024-25. Based on the calculation shown in Table 6, the unencumbered portion of the FY 2024-25 beginning balance is higher than the aggregate amount deposited into the account during the preceding four fiscal years (which exceeds one million dollars). The Housing Authority has an excess surplus for FY 2024-25 of $1,461,368. The Housing Authority will need to spend or encumber this amount within three fiscal years, or June 30, 2028, to eliminate the excess surplus or transfer remaiing excess surplus to HCD.
INVENTORY OF HOMEOWNERSHIP UNITS
Table 7 on the following shows an inventory of the 122 homeownership units assisted by the former ICRA or the Housing Authority that are subject to covenants, restrictions, or an adopted program that protects the former ICRA’s investment of moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to H&SC Section 33334.3(f).
No funds have been returned to the Housing Authority as part of an adopted program that protects the former ICRA’s investment of moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. Note that the Housing Authority manages all units, rather than contracting with an outside entity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Irwindale Housing Successor
City of Irwindale, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and the governmental fund information of the City of Irwindale Housing Successor (hereafter, the Housing Successor) a special revenue fund of the City of Irwindale, California (hereafter, the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Housing Successor’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 financial position of the governmental activities and the governmental fund information of the Housing Successor as of June 30, 2025, and the changes in financial position, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of the Housing Successor are intended to present the financial position and the changes in financial position of only that portion of the governmental activities and the governmental fund information of the Housing Successor that is attributable to the transactions of the Housing Successor. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City of Irwindale, as of June 30, 2025, and the changes in its financial position, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Irwindale Housing Successor
City of Irwindale, California
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information as listed on the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Management has omitted 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. 2
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Irwindale Housing Successor
City of Irwindale, California
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Housing Successor’s basic financial statements. The accompanying Computation of Excess/Surplus (supplementary information) are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 20, 2025, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over the Housing Successor’s 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 the Housing Successor’s 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 the Housing Successor’s financial reporting and compliance.

IRWINDALE HOUSING SUCCESSOR
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The Irwindale Housing Successor Fund (Housing Successor) was established on February 1, 2012, pursuant to the California Housing Authority Law codified under the State of California Health and Safety Code, Section 34200 et seq. The restricted resources and assets from the former Irwindale Community Redevelopment Agency’s low- and moderate-income housing fund was transferred to the City’s Low and Moderate Housing Asset Fund, a fund within the Irwindale’s Housing Authority (Housing Authority). The City Council became the governing board commissioners of the Housing Authority. The Housing Successor is part of the Irwindale Housing Authority, which was established for the development of low- and moderate-income housing in the City. The Housing Authority was formed for the purposes of construction and management of quality affordable housing within the City.
The Housing Authority is controlled by the City of Irwindale (City) and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are included as a component of the basic financial statements prepared by the City. A component unit is a separate governmental unit, agency or nonprofit corporation which when combined with all other component units, constitutes the reporting entity as defined in the City’s basic financial statements.
The Housing Successor accounts for transactions related to affordable housing activities. Revenues include bond proceeds held by the Irwindale Successor Agency that will be transferred for use into this fund for affordable housing activities.
B. Basis of Presentation
The Housing Successor’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Government Accounting Standards Board is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States of America.
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the Housing Successor. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segments are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
While separate government-wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are interrelated.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. 6
IRWINDALE HOUSING SUCCESSOR
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
Property taxes and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity
Cash and Investments
The Housing Successor’s cash, and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. For financial statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents are shown as both unrestricted and restricted cash and investments.
Investments are reported at fair value, the value at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than a forced liquidation sale. The City's policy is generally to hold investments until maturity or until market values equal or exceed cost. The State Treasurer's Investment Pool operates in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.
Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances."
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale is carried at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value. Fund balances are nonspendable or restricted in amounts equal to the carrying value of the land held for resale because such assets are not available to finance the current operations.

IRWINDALE HOUSING SUCCESSOR
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The Housing Successor does not carry an item that qualifies for reporting in this category.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position or the balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The government has only one type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from various sources: taxes, long-term loans, and grant monies. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period the amounts become available.
Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.
Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied.
It is the government’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance.
Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, government funds report the following fund balance classification:
Nonspendable include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted include amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed include amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest authority, the City Council. The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution. The Housing Successor did not have any committed fund balance as of June 30, 2025.
8
IRWINDALE HOUSING SUCCESSOR
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Assigned include amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. The City Manager is authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose, which was established by the governing body in Resolution No. 2011-32 approved on June 21, 2011. The Housing Successor did not have any assigned fund balance as of June 30, 2025.
Unassigned include the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes.
An individual governmental fund could include nonspendable resources and amounts that are restricted or unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) or any combination of those classifications. Restricted amounts are to be considered spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available and committed, assigned, then unassigned amounts are considered to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications can be used.
NOTE 2: STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Violations of Legal or Contractual Provisions
For the year ended June 30, 2025, expenditures exceeded appropriations in the capital outlay function of the Housing Successor by $901,720.
NOTE 3: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
As of June 30, 2025, cash and investments were reported in the accompanying financial statements as follows:
Pooled cash and investments $ 235,372
Investments - LAIF 4,547,895
Total cash and cash equivalents $ 4,783,267
The Housing Successor’s cash and cash equivalents is pooled with the City’s cash and investments in order to generate optimum interest income. The pooled interest earned is allocated quarterly based on the month end cash balances. The City values its cash and investments in accordance with the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 72 (GASB 72), Fair Value Measurement and Application, which requires governmental entities to use valuation techniques that are appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value. Citywide information concerning cash and investments for the year ended June 30, 2025, including authorized investments, custodial credit risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, concentration of investments, and carrying amount and market value of deposits and investments is available in the annual financial report of the City.
NOTE 4: DEFERRED AND LOANS RECEIVABLE
The City’s Former Irwindale Community Redevelopment Agency (Agency) made subsidy and rehabilitation loans that are to be forgiven when agreement covenants are met. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding amounts for subsidy and rehabilitation loans are $10,601,062 and $436,288, respectively. Additionally, there is an outstanding amount of property tax loan receivable of $6,083. The loans receivables are reported as unavailable revenue at June 30, 2025.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ 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 Members of the City Council
Irwindale Housing Successor
City of Irwindale, 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 City of Irwindale Housing Successor (hereafter, Housing Successor) of the City of Irwindale, California (hereafter, the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 20, 2025.
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 the Housing Successor’s 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 Fund’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, including the requirements of California Health and Safety Code Applicable to California Housing Successor Agencies, 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.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Irwindale Housing Successor
City of Irwindale, California
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 Successor’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 Successor’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Irwindale Housing Successor
City of Irwindale, California
Report on Compliance
Opinion
We have audited the City of Irwindale Housing Successor, California (hereafter, the Housing Successor)’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the California Health and Safety Code sections applicable to the California Housing Successor Agencies (the HSC) that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s Low-Moderate Income Housing Program (the Program) for the year ended June 30, 2025.
In our opinion, the Housing Successor complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on the Program for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Basis for Opinion
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 the HSC. Our responsibilities under those standards and the HSC are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the Housing Successor 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 the Program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Housing Successor’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 Program.
Auditors’ 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 Housing Successor’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 HSC 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.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Irwindale Housing Successor
City of Irwindale, California
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 the Housing Successor’s compliance with the requirements of the Program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the HSC, 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 Housing Successor’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 Housing Successor’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 HSC, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Housing Successor’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 the 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 the 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 the 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 Auditors’ 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.
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 HSC. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Item #29.B.
Date: December 10, 2025
To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Reclamation Authority Board From: Julian A. Miranda, Executive Director
Issue: Investment Quarterly Report for Fiscal Quarter Ending September 30, 2025 City Manager's Recommendation:
That the City Council, Successor Agency Board, and Housing Authority Board receive and file the Investment Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2025.
Administrative Action:
Submitted / Prepared by:
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager / Executive Director
Background and Analysis:
California Government Code Section 53646 requires that the City Treasurer submit a quarterly report of investments (Investment Report) to the City Council/Board Members for review and compliance with the City’s adopted investment policy (the City’s Investment Policy).
