Independent Auditors’ Report
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Laguna Beach, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, discreetly presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Laguna Beach (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 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, discreetly presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting 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 described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2025, the City adopted new accounting guidance, GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. 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.
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.
3 26
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 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
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules, and the required pension and other post-employment benefits schedules as listed on the table of contents, 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.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Laguna Beach, California

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 fund financial statements and schedules (“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 Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 30, 2026, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of 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 City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

See accompanying Notes to the Basic Financial Statements 31 54 Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds: $ (6,356,798) Governmental funds report capital outlays are expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of these assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation/amortization expense. This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation/amortization expense in the current period.

Bond and other debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Repayment of bond and other debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities.

Internal service funds provide services to other funds on a cost-reimbursement basis. The net revenue of certain activities of internal service funds is reported with governmental activities. (1,669,979) Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds.

The financial statements of the City of Laguna Beach, California have been prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the significant policies:
A. The Reporting Entity
The City of Laguna Beach was incorporated in 1927 under the General Laws of the State of California. The City operates under a Council – Manager form of government governed by a five – member council and provides the following services public safety (police, fire, paramedic, and marine safety), highway and streets, parks and recreation, public improvements, planning and zoning and general administrative service.
1. Discretely Presented Component Unit
The Laguna Beach County Water District (the District) was incorporated in 1925, under the County Water District Act of the State Water Code, and is the second oldest operating district of its type in California. The District is governed by the publicly elected Laguna Beach City Council members, serving as the District's Board of Directors. In 1998, the Local Agency Formation Commission of the County of Orange, California approved the District's application to become a subsidiary district of the City of Laguna Beach, effective November 1, 2000. The District has a separately issued report that can be obtained from Laguna Beach County Water District, 306 Third Street, Laguna Beach, California, 92652.
The District is considered a component unit because the City Council also serves as its Board of Directors, and the City Council (District's Board of Directors) is considered to be financially accountable. There is no financial benefit or burden relationship between the City and the District, as the City does not have access to District resources, nor is the City legally obligated to assume debt of the District. Further management of the City does not have operating responsibilities for the District. Therefore, the District is presented as a discretely presented component unit.
2. Blended Component Unit
The Laguna Beach Financing Authority (Financing Authority) was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement dated October 1, 2022, between the City and the California Statewide Communities Development Authority. The purpose of the Authority is to provide the financing necessary for the purchase or construction of various facilities or improvements through the issuance of debt. Although the Financing Authority is legally separate, it is reported as if it were part of the City because the City Council also serves as the governing board of the Financing Authority and the management of the City has operational responsibility for the Financing Authority. The activities of the Financing Authority are recorded in the debt service fund. Separate Financial Statements of the Financing Authority are prepared and can be obtained at City Hall.
B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
• Government – wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to basic financial statements
Financial reporting is based upon all GASB pronouncements required to be adopted and implemented by the end of the fiscal year.
1. Government - Wide Financial Statements
Government – wide financial statements display information about the reporting government as a whole, except for its fiduciary activities. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. These statements include separate columns for the governmental and business – type activities of the primary government.
CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH
Notes To Financial Statements
For The Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 - REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 42 65
Eliminations have been made in the Statement of Activities so that certain allocated expenses are recorded only once (by the function to which they were allocated). However, general government expenses have not been allocated as indirect expenses to the various functions of the City.
Government – wide financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all (both current and long – term) economic resources and obligations of the reporting government are reported in the government – wide financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources resulting from exchange and exchange – like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place.
Program revenues include charges for services, special assessments, and payments made by parties outside of the reporting government's citizenry if that money is restricted to a particular program. Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net cost of each program.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government – wide financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure. Proceeds of long – term debt are recorded as a liability in the government – wide financial statements, rather than as another financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long – term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as an expenditure.
As discussed earlier, the City also presents the Water District as a discretely presented component unit on the government – wide statements.
2. Fund Financial Statements
The underlying accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be 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. Governmental 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.
Fund financial statements for the primary government's governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented after the government – wide financial statements. These statements display information about the major funds individually and nonmajor funds in the aggregate for governmental and enterprise funds. Fiduciary statements include financial information for fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds of the City primarily represent assets held by the City in a custodial capacity for other individuals or organizations.
3. Governmental Funds
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified – accrual basis of accounting. The revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available. Measurable means that the amounts can be estimated, or otherwise determined. Available means that the amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to be available to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period. The City uses an availability period of 60 days for most of its material revenues including property taxes and uses an availability per od of 180 days for grants.
SaIes taxes, property taxes, franchise taxes, gas taxes, transient occupancy taxes, grants 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 to the extent normally collected within the availability period, as defined above. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available when cash is received by the government.
CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH
Notes To Financial Statements
For The Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 - REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 43 66
Revenue recognition is subject to the measurable and availability criteria for the governmental funds in the fund financial statements. Exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period in which they are earned (i.e., the related goods or services are provided). Locally imposed derived tax revenues are recognized as revenues in the period in which the underlying exchange transaction upon which they are based takes place.
Imposed nonexchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period for which they were imposed. If the period of use is not specified, they are recognized as revenues when an enforceable legal claim to the revenues arises or when they are received, whichever occurs first. Government-mandated and voluntary nonexchange transactions are recognized as revenues when all applicable eligibility requirements have been met.
As stated above, in the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current financial resources measurement focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. The reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered to be a measure of "available spendable resources. "Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balance. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period.
Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on their balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect fund balance, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as other financing sources rather than as a fund liability. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuance are reported as other financing uses. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as fund expenditures. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
4. Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds
The City's enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial statements, the proprietary funds and fiduciary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the fund financial statements, proprietary and fiduciary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. Th s means that all assets, liabilities (whether current or noncurrent), and deferred inflows/outflows of resources associated with their activity are included. Proprietary fund-type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies, taxes, and investment earnings result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities. Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the enterprise fund financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the enterprise fund financial statements, rather than as another financing source.
Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the enterprise fund are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as an expenditure.

NOTE 1 - REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 45 68
D. Encumbrances
The City utilizes an encumbrance system as a management control technique to assist in controlling expenditures. Under this system, encumbrances are recorded in the general, special revenue, and capital projects fund store present purchase orders, contracts and other commitments. Encumbrances at year-end are reported with in the restricted, committed, or assigned fund balance depending on the resources that have been identified to fund the applicable encumbrance. The total encumbrances outstanding as of June 30, 2025 were as follows:
General Fund $ 6,184,399
Assessment Districts Capital Projects Fund 50,207
Nonmajor Governmental Funds 707,161
Enterprise Funds 2,024,739
Total Encumbrances $ 8,966,506
E. Cash and Investments
All cash and investments other than that held by fiscal agents are either held in certificates of deposits in IocaI banks or in a City-wide investment pool. Accordingly, all cash and investments in the proprietary fund types are considered cash and cash equivalents.
Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 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 and looses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.
F. Lease Receivables
Lease receivables are recorded by the City as the present value of future lease payments expected to be received from the lessee during the lease term, reduced by any provision for estimated uncollectible amounts. Lease receivables are subsequently reduced over the life of the lease as cash is received in the applicable reporting period. The present value of future lease payments to be received are discounted based on the interest rate the City charges the lessee.
G. Advances to Other Funds
Long-term interfund advances are recorded as a receivable and as non-spendable fund balance by the advancing governmental fund, when reported in the General Fund or with in restricted fund balance for other governmental funds.
H. Inventory
Inventories are valued at cost and are consumed using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. The costs of governmental fund type inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
I. Prepaids
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased (consumption method).

NOTE 1 - REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 46 69
J. Investments with Fiscal Agent
Certain proceeds from the issuance of debt, as well as certain resources set aside for the payment of debt, are classified as investments with fiscal agent because they are held by an agent and their use is limited by applicable debt agreements. These funds are held in custodial funds only.
K. Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated historical cost where no historical records exist. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated acquisition value at the date of the contribution. Generally, capital asset purchases in excess of $5,000 are capitalized if they have an expected useful life of three years or more.
Capital assets include public domain (infrastructure) consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, including storm drains, beach stairways, streets, sidewalks, sewer line relining, sewer lines, and nuisance water diversification units.
Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The City uses the straight – line method in the government – wide financial statements and the proprietary fund financial statements for depreciating storm drains, beach stairways, streets, sidewalks, sewer line relining, sewer lines, nuisance water diversification units, buildings and improvements, office equipment and machines, furniture and fixtures, equipment, machinery and tools, and automotive equipment. Depreciation is charged as an expense against operations and accumulated depreciation is reported on the respective statement of net position.
Right to use leased assets are recognized at the lease commencement date and represent the City's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Right to use leased assets are measured at the initial value of the lease liability plus any payments made to the lessor before commencement of the lease term, less any lease incentives received from the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term, plus any initial direct costs necessary to place the leased asset into service. Right to use leased assets are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset using the straight – line method.
Right to use subscription IT assets are recognized at the subscription commencement date and represent the City's right to use the underlying IT asset for the subscription term. Right to use subscription IT assets are measured at the initial value of the subscription liability plus any payments made to the vendor at the commencement of the subscription term, less any subscription incentives received from the vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term, plus any capitalizable initial implementation costs necessary to place the subscription asset into service. Right to use subscription IT assets are amortized over the shorter of the subscription term or useful life of the underlying asset using the straight – line method.

Right to Use Asset Shorter of useful life or lease term/subscription term L. Property Taxes
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January1. Taxes are levied on July 1 and are payable in two installments on December 10 and April 10. The County bills and collects the property taxes and remits them to the City in installments during the year. City property tax revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they result in current receivables. The County is permitted by state law (Proposition 13) to levy taxes at 1% of full market value (at time of purchase) and can increase the property tax value base no more than 2% per year.
M. Compensated Absences
Accumulated unpaid vacation and sick leave amounts are currently funded and recorded as expenditures in the individual funds. These amounts are recorded as employee benefit charges and are accrued when incurred in the Municipal Transit and Sewer Service Enterprise Fund, and the Insurance and Employee Benefits Internal Service Fund. The majority of sick leave is paid out at a rate of one hour for every two hours banked and, therefore, is recorded at 50% of the total leave balance. Vacation accruals have no such limitations and are recorded at 10% of the total leave balance.
N. Lease Liabilities
Lease liabilities represent the City's obligation to make lease payments arising from leases. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments expected to be made during the lease term. The present value of lease payments are discounted based on a borrowing rate determined by the City.
O. Subscription Liabilities
Subscription liabilities represent the City's obligation to make subscription payments arising from the subscription contract. Subscription liabilities are recognized at the subscription commencement date based on the present value of future subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. The present value of subscription payments are discounted based on a borrowing rate determined by the City.

P. Net Position
Net position is the excess of all the City's assets and deferred outflows of resources over all its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, regardless of fund. Net position is divided into three categories. These categories apply only to net position, which is determined only at the government – wide level, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds and are described below.
Net Investment in Capital Assets – describes the portion of net position which is represented by the current net book value of the City's capital assets, lest the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets and capital – related payables.
Restricted – describes the portion of net position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter.
Unrestricted – describes the portion of net position which is not restricted as to use.
Q. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net 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 City's practice to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied, however it is at the Council's discretion.
R. Fund Balances
Fund balances are reported in the fund statements in the following classifications:
1. Nonspendable Fund Balance
Nonspendable Fund Balance – This includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not spendable in form (such as prepaid amounts and inventory) or legally or contractually required to be maintained intact (such as endowments).
2. Spendable Fund Balances
Restricted Fund Balance – This includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by legal requirements imposed by other governments, external resource providers, enabling legislation, or creditors.
Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only with the consent of resource providers.
Committed Fund Balance – This includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by the highest level of formal action of the City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless City Council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action. The constraints are imposed by Resolution of the City Council, the highest level of approval.
Assigned Fund Balance – This includes amounts that are intended to be used for specific purposes as indicated by City Council or by persons to whom City Council has delegated the authority to assign amounts for specific purposes. City Council has not delegated such authority.
Unassigned Fund Balance – This includes the remaining spendable amounts which are not included none of the other classifications. The use of this classification is limited to the General Fund or other governmental funds with a deficit fund balance.
CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH
Notes To Financial Statements
For The Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 - REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 49 72
It is the City's policy that restricted resources will be applied first, followed by (in order of application) restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned resources, in the absence of a formal policy adopted by the Council.
S. General Fund Balance Policy
It is the policy of the City to maintain a minimum reserve in unassigned fund balance for unforeseen emergencies or catastrophic impacts upon the City, and whenever fiscally possible and financially prudent, to maintain a greater target reserve. The minimum reserve of the General Fund is 10% of General Fund operating expenditures (single fund, not combined General Fund) per the City's municipal code. However, the City Council has established a policy of a higher reserve target of 20%. Total expenditures were $98,142,962 and the minimum reserve requirement was $19,628,592. The City's General Fund (single fund, not combined) reported $16,665,455 in reserves in committed and assigned fund balance as of June 30, 2025.
T. Deficit Fund Balance
The City had the following funds with deficit fund balance as of June 30, 2025:
Fund Name Fund Type Deficit
Deposits General Fund Subfund $ 16,251
Insurance and Employee Benefits Internal Service Fund $ 4,896,903 U. Grant and Allocations
The City is a recipient of state and federal grants, which are governed by laws and regulations established by the granting agencies. Costs charged to the respective grant programs are subject to review and adjustment by the granting agencies. Certain requests relating to this funding are pending approval by the funding agency. The amount of disallowed cost, if any, that might be associated with this funding, cannot be reasonably estimated.
V. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports 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 future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category:
• Deferred outflows related to pensions equal to employer contributions made after the measurement date of the net pension liability.
• Deferred outflows related to pensions for differences between expected and actual experience, changes of assumptions, and differences between actual contributions and proportionate share of contributions and changes in proportion. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the plans. • Deferred outflows related to OPEB for differences between expected and actual experience and changes in assumptions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with retiree healthcare benefits through the plans.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and governmental funds balance sheet reports 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 future periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following item that qualifies for reporting in this category:

For The Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 - REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 50 73
• Deferred inflows related to pensions for differences between expected and actual experience, changes of assumptions, and differences between actual contributions and proportionate share of contributions and changes in proportion. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the plans. • Deferred inflows related to pensions resulting from the net differences between projected and actual earnings on investments of the pension plans fiduciary net position. These amounts are amortized over 5 years. • Deferred inflows related to OPEB for differences between expected and actual experience. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with retiree healthcare benefits through the plans. • Deferred inflows related to leases where the City is the lessor, which may be reported in the governmental funds statement of net position. These amounts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
W. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City's California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) plans and additions to/deductions from the Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. 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.
X. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Y. New Accounting Pronouncements
GASB Statement No. 101 – In June 2022, the GASB issued Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures. The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and all reporting periods thereafter. The City has evaluated the impact of this statement and made adjustments as noted in footnote 18.
GASB Statement No. 102 – In December 2023, the GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures.
The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about risks related to a state or local government’s vulnerabilities due to the variety of risks they face. The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2024. The City has evaluated the impact of this statement and determined that no additional disclosures are necessary at this time.

C. Investment Authorized by Debt Agreements
Investments of debt proceeds held by bond trustee are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City's investment policy. The debt agreements permit the investments held by bond trustee to be invested in investment types that are permitted by California Government Code Section 53601 as directed by the City Treasurer.
D. 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. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations are provided by the following tables that show the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity as of June 30, 2025.

E. 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 Standard & Poor's (S&P) actual rating as of yearend for each investment type.

F. Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration credit risk is the heightened risk of potential loss when investments are concentrated none issuer.
The investment policy of the City contains a 3% limitation on the amount that can be invested in anyone issuer of Commercial Paper or Medium-Term Notes and a 5% limitation on the amount that can be invested in anyone issuer of Municipal Bonds. The City has no investments in excess of these limitations.
Investments in anyone issuer (other than external investment pools) that represent 5% or more of total City investments are as follows:
Issuer Investment Type Amount
United States Treasury U.S. Treasury obligations $ 23,089,840 Federal Home Loan Bank Federal Agency Securities 45,691,079 Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Federal Agency Securities 12,815,470 Federal Farm Credit Bank Federal Agency Securities 10,722,410 G. 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 custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The City’s investment policy requires that all investment transactions be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis. The City’s investment policy also requires that an independent, third-party custodian designated by the Treasurer hold all securities. For all executed transactions, the third-party custodian is required to issue a safe keeping receipt to the City that lists the specific instrument, rate, maturity and other information pertinent to the transaction.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
54 77
The California Government Code and the City’s Investment Policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits 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 fair value of the pledged securities In the collateral pool must equal at least 10% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. As of June 30, 2025, all of the City’s funds are held in accordance with these provisions.
For investments identified herein as held by the fiscal agent, the City Treasurers elects the investment under the terms of the applicable trust agreement, acquires the investment, and holds the investment on behalf of the reporting government.
H. 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 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the state of California. The fair value of the City's investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City's pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis and is limited to the account balance. The California Local Agency Investment Fund is not insured or collateralized. The Fund is subject to regulatory oversight by the state of California Treasurer, although it is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Deposits and withdrawals to and from LAIF are made on the basis of $1 and not at fair value. According, under the fair value hierarchy, the investment with LAIF is uncategorized.
I. Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices inactive markets for identical assets, Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities through corroboration with market data (the market approach), and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Federal agency securities, municipal bonds, medium term notes, and supranational, classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities' relationship to benchmark quoted prices.

NOTE 6 - RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees, and natural disasters.
The City retains the risk of loss for general/auto liability claims of up to $400,000 per occurrence and workers' compensation claims of up to $300,000 per person per occurrence. Additionally, the City has retained risk of loss for employee PPO dental insurance claims. The City is fully insured for medical claims. The City has established the Insurance and Employee Benefits Internal Service Fund to account for and finance these uninsured risks of loss, and liabilities are accrued when incurred, including estimates for incurred but not reported (IBNR) loss, in this fund. An estimate for incurred but not reported claims for PPO dental coverage has not been accrued because management believes the liability for incurred but not recorded claims would be immaterial to the financial statements.
The City is also a member of the California Insurance Pool Authority (CIPA), a public entity risk pool consisting of 14 member cities in Southern California, which was established to pool resources, share risks, purchase excess insurance, and share costs for professional risk management and claims administration. The coverage for general and auto liability extends to $3,000,000 self-insured retention with a $43,000,000 annual aggregate. The coverage for workers' compensation extends to a limit of $2,000,000. Member cities' CIPA premiums are based on actuarial reports and underwriting estimates and are calculated based on the member cities' individual experience and exposure for a particular program. Members may be charged assessments if losses exceed the amount of premium collected.

A. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. Federal legislation requires that the Section 457 plan assets be held in trust for employes. This change, which was implemented in the 1999 fiscal year, means that employee assets held in Section 457 plans are no longer the property of the City and are no longer subject to claims of the City's general creditors. The City makes no contributions to the plan and has no liability for losses under the plan but does have the duty of due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. At June 30, 2025, the deferred compensation assets are not reflected in the City's financial statements.
B. Defined Contribution Plan
The City has established a defined contribution plan administered through a private administrator known as Public Agency Retirement System ("PARS") for all of its part-time employees, pursuant to the requirements of section 132 of the Social Security Act. All part-time employees are eligible to participate from the date of employment. Federal legislation requires contributions of at least 7.5% to a retirement plan. The City contributes
3.75%, 4.75%, or 8.5% of employee compensation depending on the employee’s classification. The City's contributions for each employee are fully vested immediately. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City contributed $213,396 to the plan.

Employees who have completed at least three years of service with the City and have coverage immediately prior to retirement are eligible to retire and participate in the City's healthcare plans by paying premiums identical to those charged for the City's active employees. For employees hired on or after July 1, 2013 (January 1, 2014 for Police), the three year service requirement has been increased to ten years. Spouses and eligible dependent children of retirees may also be covered at the retiree's expense. All of the City's Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) specify the ability to elect self-paid retiree medical coverage, and this benefit has been extended to selfpaid dental coverage as well.
While the City does not directly contribute toward the cost of premiums for retirees, the ability to obtain coverage at an active employee rate constitutes a significant economic benefit to the retirees, called an "implicit subsidy” under GASB 75. The inclusion of the retirees increases the City's overall health insurance rates.
The benefits and contribution requirements of the City and plan members are established and may be amended by City Council. The City has not established an irrevocable trust for the purpose of holding assets accumulated for plan benefits and funds the plan on a pay-as-you-go basis (i.e., as medical insurance premiums become due).
For fiscal year 2024-2045, age-adjusted premium benefits paid by the City totaled $365,754.
B. Employees Covered

The actuarial assumptiond used in the July 1, 2022 valuation were based on the results of the most recent applicable experience study and a review of plan experience during the period July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022.
The discount rate utilized is based on whether the plan assets are projected to be sufficient to make future payments. Since there are no plan assets held in trust, the discount rate was based on a high-quality 20-year taxexempt general obligation municipal bond yield or index rate. "High quality" is defined as being rated AA or higher (or an equivalent rating). The municipal bond rate utilized was 4.71% and was determined using the Fidelity AA Municipal Bond 20-Year High Grade rate index as of June 30, 2025.

In March 1972, the City, five water districts, and one sanitation district entered into a joint exercise of powers agreement to form the Aliso Water Management Agency, which ultimately joined other agencies and created the South Orange County Wastewater Authority (SOCWA), a public corporation. SOCWA currently includes ten member agencies, including the City. SOCWA was formed to develop a total water management program for its members' consolidated service areas. Specifically, SOCWA is to provide for construction, maintenance and operation of a regional wastewater transmission, treatment and disposal system. This system consists of an interceptor system, pumping stations, wastewater treatment plants and an ocean outfall.
The governing board is comprised of one member from each participating agency and is responsible for the selection of management and for the budgeting and financial management of the Agency. As of June 30, 2025, (the most recent information available), SOCWA had total assets and deferred outflows of resources of $159,075,275, total liabilities and deferred inflows or resources of $40,990,792, and total net position of $118,084,483. A separate financial report may be obtained from the South Orange County Wastewater Authority, 34156 Del Obispo Street, Dana Point, California 92629.
The City's share of ownership varies by year depending upon the purchased capacities of each subsystem. Each member is responsible for its share of maintenance and operations costs proportional to its purchased capacity which is billed to each member by SOCWA. Sewer service charges are assessed to fund these and other operating costs. The City paid $2,242,691 and $1,000,004 for its share of operating and capital costs, respectively, during the fiscal year.
Working in partnership with SOCWA, in prior years the City expanded capacity in certain treatment plants and constructed a pumping station. The City's participation in these projects has been capitalized through sewer plant and Iines and capacity rights in the City's sewer funds.

A. General Information about the Pension Plans
1. Plan Descriptions
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City's Safety (Police, Fire, and Lifeguard) Employee Pension Plan (Safety Plan), a cost sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plan, or the City's Miscellaneous Plan, an agent multiple employer defined benefit pension plan, both administered by CalPERS. The CalPERS Safety Plan consists of safety pools (referred to as "risk pools"), which are comprised of individual employer safety rate plans. The risk pools are included within the Public Employees' Retirement Fund C (PERF C). For the Miscellaneous Plan, CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers, and are included with in Public Employees' Retirement Fund A (PERF A). Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by state statute and may be amended by City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information. These reports can be found on the CalPERS website.
2. Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full-time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 to 62 with statutorily reduced benefits. For employees hired into a plan with the 1.5% at 65 formula, eligibility for service retirement is age 55 with at least five years of services. PEPRA miscellaneous members become eligible for service retirement upon attainment of age 52 with at least five years of service. All members are eligible for nonduty disability benefits after five years of service. The death benefit is one of the following the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. Safety members can receive a special death benefit if the member dies while actively employed and the death is job-related. Fire members may receive the alternate death benefit in lieu of the Basic Death Benefit or the 1957 Survivor Benefit if the member dies while actively employed and has at least 20 years of total CalPERS service. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees' Retirement law.
The Public Employee's Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) requires new benefits and member contributions for new members as defined by PEPRA, that are hired after January 1, 2013. These PEPRA members in pooled plans are reflected in the new Miscellaneous and Safety risk pools created by the CalPERS Board in response to the passage of PEPRA, beginning with the June 30, 2013, risk-pool valuations.
The Plans' provisions and benefits in effect at the measurement date June 30, 2024, are summarized as follows:

4. Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS' annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rates of employees. City contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contributions requirements are classified as plan member contributions.
Contributions to the pension plans totaled $7,720,548 for the Safety Plan and $5,496,935 for the Miscellaneous Plan.
B. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions

3. Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points.

4. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. 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.
5. Changes in Net Pension Liability Miscellaneous Plan
The City's net pension liability for the Miscellaneous Plan was measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan's fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of the Miscellaneous Plan was measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown under the section Actuarial Assumptions within this note.

NOTE 1: BUDGET INFORMATION
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the general, special revenue, and capital projects funds except for the Cultural & Environmental Stewardship nonmajor fund and the following General Fund sub-funds: Parking In-Lieu, Drainage, and Deposits. Appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end, except for encumbered amounts and capital expenditures which are re-appropriated in the next year's budget until such time as the project is completed or terminated.
The City is required to adopt an annual budget on or before June 30 of each year. From the effective date of the budget, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures become appropriations to the various City departments. The City Council may amend the budget through a vote of a majority of the Council during the fiscal year. The City Manager may transfer funds from one objector purpose to another within the same department, excluding capital outlay. Actual expenditures may not exceed budgeted appropriations at the department level within the General Fund and at the fund level for special revenue, and capital projects funds therefore, the legal level of budgetary control is at the department level for the General Fund and the fund level for special revenue and capital projects funds.
Budget information is presented for the general and certain special revenue and capital project fund types.
Budgeted revenue amounts represent the original budget modified by Council authorized adjustments during the year which were contingent upon new or additional revenue sources. Budgeted expenditure amounts represent original appropriations adjusted for supplemental appropriations during the year. Supplemental appropriations include carryover appropriations from the prior year. Supplemental budgetary appropriations of $32,956,781 were made in the General Fund.
