ISSUE: Treasurer's Investment Report for April 2023
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receive and file the Treasurer's Investment Report for the month of April 2023.
SUMMARY:
The Treasurer’s Investment Report for the month of April 2023 is submitted herewith.
The City’s total portfolio as of April 30, 2023, was $28,091,604. The pooled cash portfolio managed by the City Treasurer consisted of cash on hand, demand deposits, State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and Investment Trust of California (CalTRUST) investments and totaled $26,442,960. Restricted cash and investments totaled $1,648,644, and is mainly comprised of reserve funds for the 2010 bond issuance.
Interest income for the month of April was $149,625. FY 2022/2023 year-to-date interest earnings of $390,763 are 391% of the annual budget of $100,000.
The average yield on the City’s total portfolio for the month of April was 4.13%, compared to the prior month of 3.87%. The improvement in portfolio yield in April compared to March was the result of the rising interest rate environment, as dictated by the Federal Reserve, along with City staff maximizing available cash into the higher yielding CalTRUST option.

Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022 May 23, 2023
The City's General Fund ended the year on a positive note, with revenues exceeding expenditures by $4,967,870. This increase brought the General Fund balance total to $13,794,449 as of June 30, 2022. These results are attributable to better than expected property tax and sales tax receipts, City staff monitoring expenditures, and the influx of cash from the first payment of the American Rescue Plan money.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council:
he Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the
City of Laguna Hills for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, is submitted herewith. This report is published in accordance with local ordinance and State law
requirements that financial statements be presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by an independent public accounting firm of licensed certified public accountants.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City of Laguna Hills. Responsibility for the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City’s management. It is management’s opinion that the data is accurate in all material aspects, is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the City, and contains all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial affairs. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management has
established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, misuse, and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP.
Because the cost of internal controls should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements are free of material misrepresentation. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects and is reported in a manner that presents fairly the financial position and results of operations of the various funds of the City, as well as the City as a whole.

The City’s financial statements have been audited by Eide Bailly, LLP, a public accounting firm fully licensed and qualified to perform audits of local government. The independent auditors concluded that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion on the City’s financial statements and that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the City at the end of this fiscal year.
A narrative introduction, overview and analysis of the basic financial statements for the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, is discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), which immediately follows the independent auditor’s report. The MD&A is designed to complement this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
PROFILE OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA HILLS
The City of Laguna Hills is located in South Orange County approximately 60 miles south of Los Angeles and 70 miles north of San Diego. Incorporated in 1991 under the laws of the State of California, it enjoys all the rights and privileges pertaining to “General Law” cities. The City is home to approximately 30,750 residents and over 1,000 businesses.
The City of Laguna Hills operates under a Council-Manager form of government. Policymaking and legislative authority are vested in the City Council, which consists of a Mayor and a four-member Council.
The Mayor is annually selected by the City Council from among its membership, and serves a one-year term. The governing Council is responsible, among other things, for passing the City’s ordinances and operating resolutions, adopting the biennial budget, appointing commissions and committees, retaining the City Attorney and hiring the City Manager. The City Manager is the chief executive officer of the City and administers the daily operations and programs of the City through department heads, other staff members and contracted services.
The City contracts for selected municipal services utilizing agreements with other governmental entities, private firms and individuals. Police services are provided by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and fire services are provided through the Orange County Fire Authority, of which the City is a member.
Although the majority of the area in the City has a distinctive residential character, the City has a strong commercial base,
4.6.a
Packet Pg. 72
Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) iv
specifically in the northern section of the City. This commercial area, or “Urban Village,” is anchored by the regional Village at Laguna Hills, the Oakbrook Village Shopping Center, and the Saddleback Memorial Medical Center. In addition, the area north of the Village at Laguna Hills holds a complement of commercial, retail and office mixed-uses.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION
Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout several years ago, the City has remained resilient and adaptable to the everchanging situation. Government-mandated shutdowns and stay-athome orders in 2020 were followed by high unemployment, supply chain issues, and global uncertainty in all markets. Soon thereafter, government stimulus funds, like the CARES Act and American Rescue Plan, helped prop the economy up and allowed
unemployment rates to drop. However, the large influx of cash into the financial system have caused massive spikes in inflation.
Orange County saw its unemployment rate rise from 2.8 percent in February 2020 to a high of 14.7 percent in May 2020, before dropping to 9.0 percent in September 2020 and 6.9 percent in June 2021. In Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the unemployment rate dropped even more, to 2.9 percent as of June 2022.
Overall, the pandemic has dramatically upended nearly every aspect of life. The resilience of the Southern California region indicates, however, that just as after the Great Recession, the region will recover. Unquestionably, the pandemic, inflation, and the associated economic impacts remain a fluid situation. Many economists are worried of an economic recession, given the challenges with inflationary prices, the tight labor market, an inverted yield curve on U.S. Treasury notes, and the likelihood that no further Federal stimulus funds are forthcoming. As a result, the Southern California region’s economic situation remains uncertain.
To maintain its strong financial position into the future, the City must continue to promote overall fiscal health and sustainability by adhering to its conservative financial policies, focusing on organizational efficiency and performance, and fiscally prudent decision-making. This financially conservative stance has played a critical role in allowing the City to respond quickly to difficulties that were prevalent in the economy as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as to the previous economic downturn during the years of the Great Recession.

OUTLOOK
4.6.a
Packet Pg. 73
Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) v
The City utilizes a customized 8-Year Resource Allocation plan that is specifically designed to project the City’s operating and reserve policy ratios over an eight-year forecast horizon. The City’s policy is to strive to maintain an operating ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, and an Unassigned General Fund Balance Ratio of 35% as compared to General Fund operating expenditures. Both of these benchmarks were achieved as of June 30, 2022. The operating ratio for FY 2021- 22 came in at 1.12 and the Unassigned Fund Balance ratio was 59%.
In developing the City’s accounting system, consideration was given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls, which are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance in connection with: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining
accountability for assets. All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe the City’s internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
Furthermore, the City maintains budgetary controls to ensure compliance with the legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within and between funds as deemed necessary in order to meet the City’s needs. Revisions that exceed the appropriated budget must be approved by the City Council.
The City invests its temporary idle cash in investments authorized under the City’s prevailing Investment Resolution and Policies, which are reviewed and approved annually. These policies are significantly more restrictive than State law, limiting investments to a maturity of one year or less. The City’s investments at the close of the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, consisted of fully insured or collateralized certificates of deposit with qualified banks, money market mutual funds, and investment pools with the State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and Investment Trust of California (CALTrust).
Generally, only assets which cost $5,000 or more and which have a useful life of five years or more are considered capital assets. This designation is extensively discussed in the City’s Internal Control Policies and Procedures for Capital Assets and Minor Equipment, which were developed for the City’s compliance with the requirements with GASB 34.

MAJOR INITIATIVES
The following section provides a sampling of some of the various initiatives and highlights occurring throughout the 2021-2022 fiscal year:
In March of 2016, the City approved a plan for the renovation of the Laguna Hills Mall which included approximately 860,000 square feet of new and renovated commercial retail space, movie theaters, restaurants, and 988 residential units. The approved plan was known as Five Lagunas. In 2018, the property owner of Five Lagunas, Merlone-Geier Partners (MGP), informed City staff that they could not move forward with the approved 2016 plan. On November 4, 2019, MGP submitted a new application to redevelop the site. The new project, named “The Village at Laguna Hills”, was presented to the City Council by MGP at the November 12, 2019, City Council meeting.
On March 8, 2022, the City Council and Planning Agency approved “The Village at Laguna Hills” project. This project consists of demolition of the remaining mall property and buildings, along with development and construction of new retail buildings, residential buildings, a hotel, parking structures, and other infrastructure. As of June 30, 2022, the project is still under demolition; it is estimated to take many years before this major project is complete.
The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (“CalRecycle”) finalized regulations for the implementation of Senate Bill (“SB”) 1383 in November 2020. SB 1383 requires local governments to reduce organic waste being sent to landfills. City staff began a concerted work effort in early 2021 to implement the requirements of SB 1383 and CalRecycle. Some of these efforts include:
● Negotiate a new contract with the City’s Franchise Waste Hauler, CR&R.
● Implement new and/or revised trash and recycling service fees.
● Establish an enforcement ordinance and policies to meet the requirements of SB 1383.
● Community outreach and education on the requirements of SB 1383.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Laguna Hills
Laguna Hills, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Laguna Hills, California (City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of 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
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City has adopted the provisions of Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases, for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Accordingly, a restatement has been made to the governmental activities, general fund, and enterprise – property leasing fund’s net position or fund balance as of July 1, 2021 to restate beginning net position/fund balance. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
4.6.a
Packet Pg. 81
Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 2 Correction of an Error
As discussed in Note 16 to the financial statements, an error resulting in an overstatement of accumulated depreciation for proprietary assets as of June 30, 2021, was discovered by management of the City during the current year. Accordingly, a restatement has been made to net position of the enterprise – property leasing fund and business-type activities as of June 30, 2021, to correct the error.
Our opinions are 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.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 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.
4.6.a
Packet Pg. 82
Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 3 • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about 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 schedule of proportionate share of the net pension liability, the schedule of contributions - defined benefit pension plans, and the schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance - budget and actual - general fund and major special revenue funds, identified as Required Supplementary Information (RSI) in the accompanying 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.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor funds financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor funds financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 4 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 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, 2023, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of 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.

Overview of the Financial Statements Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Laguna Hills’ basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) governmentwide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statement themselves.
(1) Government- Government-wide financial statements wide financial statements wide financial statements. These statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Laguna Hills’ financial position, in a manner similar to a private-sector business, using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting.
The following reports comprise the government-wide financial statements:
a) Statement of Net Position. This report presents information on all the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and net position. The difference between the assets and deferred outflows, on one hand, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, on the other hand, constitutes the net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or weakening, though it is important to consider other non-financial factors in accurately assessing the overall health of the City, such as the property tax base or condition of the roads, etc. b) Statement of Activities. The information presented in this report shows how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenditures are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.
Both of these government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes, program revenues, and intergovernmental revenues (referred to as governmental activities), from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (referred to as business-type activities).
The governmental activities of the City of Laguna Hills include general government, public services, community development, community services and public safety. Property taxes, sales and use taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and franchise fees finance most of these activities.
The businessbusiness business- business-type activity activityactivity activity of the City of Laguna Hills pertains to the leasing of certain areas in the Laguna Hills Civic Center, which also houses City Hall.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 18 to 20 of this report. (2) Fund financial statements. These statements show how City services were financed in the short term Fund financial statements. as well as what remains for future spending. These statements also report the City’s operation in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the City’s most
4.6.a
Packet Pg. 88
Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 7 significant funds, but not the City as a whole. Funds are required to be established, either by State or Federal laws, in order to meet legal responsibilities associated with the usage of certain taxes, grants, and other money. There are three types of funds, namely:
a) Governmental funds. The City maintains 19 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the general fund, Measure M fund, capital projects fund, and debt service fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each non-major governmental fund is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
b) Proprietary funds. When the City charges for the services it provides, other than those services associated with the City’s general governmental operations, these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. The proprietary fund is used to report the same function presented as the business-type activity in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses the proprietary fund to account for its Civic Center leasing activity.
The fund financial statements focus on the near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources at the end of the fiscal year. Such information provides a short-term view of the City’s general government operations and shows whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. These funds are reported using the modified accrual method of accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can be readily converted to cash. The relationship between governmental activities and the governmental funds are reported in the reconciliation of government-wide and fund financial statements and in Note 1 in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.
The fund financial statements can be found on pages 21 to 27 of this report. (3) Notes to the basic financial statements. The notes provide additional information essential to a full Notes to the basic financial statements understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages 28 to 62 of this report. (4) Other Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report Other Information also presents certain required supplementary information including budgetary comparison for the general fund, a schedule of proportionate share of the net pension liability, and a schedule of employer plan contributions. Additionally, the combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information.
Government – Government –Wide Financial Analysis Financial Analysis Financial Analysis The City’s combined net position at the close of the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, was $98,266,335, as shown on Table 1 below. The City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.

Total net position $ 86,862 $ 92,498 $ 5,797 $ 5,768 $ 92,659 $ 98,266 By far the largest portion of the City’s net position (roughly $85.6 million, or 87% of total net position) reflects its net investment in capital assets, which is made up of: (1) capital assets (land, building, machinery, and equipment) less accumulated depreciation, any related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding, and the unamortized bond premium, (2) outstanding deferred loss on refunding, and (3) the cash with fiscal agent held in reserve to secure the timely payment of principal and interest on the capital asset related debt. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens.
Consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt and corresponding items, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. There is $1,282,860 in debt outstanding (including the unamortized debt premium) related to the acquisition and construction of these capital assets.

Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 9 Another portion of the City’s net position, $4,226,804 (4% of the total net position), represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of the City’s net position is unrestricted net position of $8,438,626 (9% of the total net position), which may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors.
The City’s combined total assets at the close of the fiscal year was $107,858,349. Of this amount, $100,687,019, or 93%, represents assets from governmental activities and $7,171,330, or 7%, represents assets from business-type activities. By far the largest component of the City’s combined total assets is in the form of capital assets at $85,502,258, or 79%. The remaining $22,083,091 of combined total asset is largely in the form of cash and investment of $15,822,222 and restricted cash and investment of $1,784,112.
At the end of the fiscal year, the City’s combined total liabilities was $6,592,940, which was largely in the form of long-term liabilities of the City’s government activities at $3,654,401, or 55%. Long-term liabilities were mainly comprised of the City’s net pension liability of $1,943,651, or 53%, and $1,710,750, or 47%, in debt pertaining to Certificates of Participation for the 2010 Refinancing Project.
Deferred inflows and outflows reported in the Statement of Net Position represent an acquisition (revenue) or consumption (expense) of net position that applies to a future period and hence will not be recognized as an inflow or outflow of resources until that time. The reported deferred inflows of $4,223,339 and deferred outflows of $1,224,265 pertain to the City’s pension liability and leases. More information on the City’s pension plan can be found in Note 8, beginning on page 50 of this report.

Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 11 During the fiscal year, the total revenue from all sources was $31,345,823and the cost of all activities was $26,401,271, resulting in an overall increase in net position of $4,944,552. The City’s governmental activities increased total net position by $5,635,511 and its business-type activities decreased total net position by $690,959.
The revenue sources from governmental activities presented in the preceding table are illustrated in a pie chart shown below as Figure 1 Figure 1Figure 1 Figure 1, which illustrates the percentage relationship of these revenues to each other, as well as their impact on the City’s total resources.
Figure 1Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1
Revenue by Sources – Revenue by Sources –Governmental Activities Governmental Activities Governmental Activities FY2021/22
As shown in the above pie chart, roughly 70%, or $21,554,295 of the City’s total governmental revenues are from taxes, comprised of property, sales and use, motor vehicle in lieu, franchise and transient occupancy taxes. Program revenues totaled $9,034,210, or 30%, of the total revenue resources, which is comprised of charges for services and operating contributions. Increases from the prior year in property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, and transient occupancy taxes were realized in Fiscal Year 21/22.
Transient occupancy taxes increased 51% over the prior year – increasing from $678,706 to $1,021,089.
This is a result of improvements in the travel and leisure industry after the easing of COVID-19 related travel restrictions. Sales taxes improved by 19% over the prior year – increasing from $5,825,883 to $6,940,812. This increase is mainly due to an economy saturated with federal stimulus funds and an increase in the price of taxable goods due to inflationary factors.
The City’s expenses in connection with its governmental activities are categorized by function, namely:
general government, public services, community development, community services and public safety. The program revenues associated with these governmental activities are classified into three categories, which are charges for services, operating contributions, and capital contributions. The relationship of the City’s program revenues to the related governmental functions are illustrated in a graph shown as Figure 2on the following page.
4.6.a
Packet Pg. 93
Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 12 Expenses associated with governmental activities experienced an overall decrease of 4%, or $1,057,634 over the prior fiscal year, in an effort to manage costs to offset the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty in the economy. This decrease is largely attributable to reductions in General Government activity of $1,149,651, Community Development of $507,811, Public Safety of $100,445, and interest expense on long-term debt of $77,948. Expenses increased over the prior fiscal year in Public Services (Public Works) activity by $122,271, and Community Services by $655,950, due to the reopening of facilities and community activities after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The City’s business-type activities for the leasing of the Civic Center decreased total net position by $690,959. The decrease from business-type activities is largely attributable to depreciation. Of the $1,396,618 of total operating expenses related to property leasing activities, depreciation represents 55%, or $761,720, of that total.
Program Revenues and Expenses:
Program revenues for the most recent fiscal year were $9,034,210. Expenses related to governmental activities were $25,004,653. The program revenues are generally not adequate to finance the governmental programs, so it is typical for governmental expenses to be subsidized by general revenues. The City’s expenses for public services and public safety are comparatively higher than the other expense categories, as shown in Figure 2 Figure 2Figure 2 Figure 2below. The interest on long-term debt was $40,507.

This 3- story building complex was renovated to accommodate the City offices and to add leasable spaces. Since June 28, 2004, the City government has operated from this facility. Altogether, there are 51,945 square feet of leasable office space in the Civic Center building. The City occupies 21,033 square feet and leases out 30,912 square feet. The occupancy rate was approximately 87% on June 30, 2022.

After interest income of $76, the change in net position at fiscal year-end was $(690,959). The net cash provided by the leasing operating activities was $70,761. The contra rent revenue associated with the occupied spaces for City Hall was $549,965 for the current fiscal year.
Analysis of Major Funds
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities and objectives. As noted earlier, the City of Laguna Hills uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental funds: Governmental funds:
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, the focus of the governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows and outflows, as well as the balances of spendable resources at the end of the fiscal year. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Laguna Hills’ near term financing requirements. In particular, fund balances of the governmental funds are reported separately within classifications based on a hierarchy of constraints placed on the use of those resources. The classifications are based on the relative strength of the constraints that control how the specific amounts can be spent. The classifications are nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balance of $17,856,016, an increase of $3,325,666 from the prior year’s balance. Of the ending fund balance, $128,954 is non-spendable fund balance, which represents the portion of fund balance that is either not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained. Of the remaining $17,727,062 in spendable fund balance, $4,226,804 is restricted fund balance, $769,926 is assigned fund balance and $12,730,332 is unassigned fund balance. Restricted fund balance includes amounts that have externally imposed restrictions on their usage by creditors, such as debt covenants, grantors, and contributors, or by laws and regulations. Assigned fund balance includes amounts which are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose. These include designations for claims liability and amounts assigned for equipment maintenance of the Civic Center, Community Center, Sports Complex, slopes, storm drains, and various parks.
The City identifies “major” governmental funds within the fund financial statements. Funds are reviewed annually to determine if any should be classified as a major fund. Specifically, funds that have 10% or more of total assets, liabilities, or fund balance of total governmental funds. The City may also classify as a major fund any fund or combination of funds that is considered essentially important to users.
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating governmental fund. The fund balance of the City’s general fund increased by $4,967,870 from the prior fiscal year’s balance. This is largely attributable

Packet Pg. 95
Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final ACFR (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 14 to the receipt of the first half of American Rescue Plan funds. The City spent these funds to partially pay for the Orange County Sheriff costs.
The Measure M Fund accounts for revenues and expenditures for road improvements and transportation system maintenance financed through an Orange County half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements as administered through the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). Revenues and transfers out to other funds reflect financial resources are allocated to fund expenditures reported in other funds. During the fiscal year, the City recorded $731,430 from Measure M2 revenues and $930 in investment income. The City spent these restricted funds mainly on road maintenance and street sweeping costs.
The City’s capital projects fund accounts for financial resources related to the acquisition and construction of the City’s capital projects. Revenues and transfers in from other funds reflect the financial resources used to fund the capital project expenditures during the current fiscal year; therefore, this fund typically reflects no fund balance at the end of the fiscal year. Total expenditures and transfers in for the current fiscal year were $3,400,224. The largest capital expenditure during the current year was the Annual Street Maintenance Project CIP #101, which totaled $2,664,626, or 78% of the total capital improvement expenditures for the fiscal year, with the primary source of funding from the Gas Tax Fund and SB1 RMRA Fund.
The City’s debt service fund reports current financial resources restricted for the payment of principal and interest for long-term debt. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the debt service fund reported $1,787,496 in fund balance. Of the total fund balance, $1,787,496 is restricted to meet the reserve requirement under the Trust Agreement of the Certificates of Participation for the 2010 Refinancing Project. Pursuant to the Agreement, a reserve fund was established by the trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., to further secure the timely payment of principal and interest. All interest or income received by the investment of the reserve fund is required to be retained in the reserve fund. Only to the extent the reserve requirement is satisfied, may amounts in the reserve fund be allocated toward lease payments. Interest income for the current fiscal year was $(16,315) – a negative amount due to a fair market valuation on the assets at year end.
Proprietary fund: Proprietary fund:
The proprietary fund provides the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements. The City’s proprietary fund consists of owning a piece of commercial real estate and leasing it to various entities. The total square footage of the Civic Center building is 51,945. The City is a tenant using approximately 21,033 square feet of the building.
The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position reflect a net operating loss of $691,035, before the interest income of $76. The net effect is a decrease in the ending net position of $690,959, which is largely attributable to depreciation. Before accounting for $761,720 in depreciation expense, the net operating activity would result in a net operating income of $70,761 from the City’s other leasing related activities. Moreover, the enterprise fund does not charge the City rent and common area maintenance (CAM). The estimated annual rent for the space occupied by City Hall would be approximately $549,965, not including CAM.

This substantial increase was a result of the economy bouncing back after being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year. Higher than anticipated property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and franchise fees materialized in Fiscal Year 2021/2022. Also, community services revenues came in higher than the prior year, as programs, classes, and facilities began to re-open after the mandated stay-at-home orders and shutdowns.
Revenues from taxes, the City’s largest general fund revenue source, came in over budget by $1,698,423, or 8%, primarily due to sales taxes and property taxes coming in higher than anticipated. Additionally, licenses and permits, the City’s second largest general fund revenue source, came in higher than budgeted by $543,560, due to increased demand for building permits. Investment income resulted in a negative $241,330, due to a fair market valuation adjustment at year end. Due to the rising interest rate environment, investments held at the State Local Agency Investment Fund were carrying a market loss.
This investment loss is considered unrealized, and is only presented for financial statement purposes.
Given the indication that COVID-19 pandemic was going to have a significant negative affect on general fund revenues, a concerted effort was made to lower general fund expenditures to offset a portion of the negative impact. General fund expenditures totaled $21,667,248 at fiscal year-end, below budget by $563,700, or 2.5%. The largest budgetary savings by department was from Public Safety, which came under budget by $446,896. This was mainly due to a credit received on the final Sheriff’s invoice, in which overtime and vacancy credits are trued up for the fiscal year.
The net change in fund balance at fiscal year-end in the General Fund was $4,967,870, which exceeded budget by $2,255,751. The main reason for this transfer, as noted above, is better than expected property taxes and sales taxes, along with a one-time transfer of American Rescue Plan funds into the General Fund.

On January 26, 2010, to take advantage of favorable interest rates, the City issued $17,190,000 of Certificates of Participation (COPs). Proceeds from the sale were placed in an irrevocable trust used to service the future debt requirements of the 2001 and 2003 Certificates of Participation, which were issued to finance a portion of the costs to develop certain property, including the Civic Center Renovation Project and Community Center. As a result, the balance of the 2001 and 2003 COPs are considered to be defeased and the liability for those bonds has been removed. At fiscal year-end June 30, 2022, the remaining principal balance was $1,075,000. The 2010 COPs maintain a “AA+” rating from Standard & Poor’s. Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note 6 on pages 44 to 46 of this report.

To mitigate the negative effects from the significant decrease in operating revenues, an extensive review of fiscal year 2021/22 expenditures, as well as one-time non-recurring revenue sources, were reviewed to offset the anticipated declines while the City continues to bounce back from the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. General Fund operating expenditures are projected at $22,125,948, while General Fund revenues is estimated at $22,236,737.
The major goals and issues that dominated the budget process for this 2021 – 2023 biennial period are discussed in the transmittal letter, along with measure adopted to address prevailing issues facing the City.

Fund balances of governmental funds $ 17,856,016
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:
Capital assets net of depreciation have not been included as financial resources in governmental fund activity
Capital assets 166,799,725
Accumulated depreciation (87,330,677)
Long-term liabilities are not available to pay for current-period expenditures and, therefore, are not reported in the governmental funds. Long-term liabilities consist of the following:
Certificates of participation (1,075,000)
Bond premium (207,860)
Direct borrowings (344,730)
Compensated absences (297,681)
Claims and judgments payable (304,323)
Deferred outflows of resources (loss on refunding of bonds) that have not been included in the governmental fund activity. 74,396 Accrued interest payable for the current portion of interest due on the Certificates of Participation has not been reported in the governmental funds. (20,250)
Pension related liabilities applicable to the City's governmental activities are not due and payable in the current period and, accordingly, are not reported as fund liabilities. Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions are only reported in the Statement of Net Position as the changes in these amounts affects only the government-wide statements for governmental activities:
Deferred outflows of resources 1,149,869
Deferred inflows of resources (2,117,375)

Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds $ 3,325,666 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the costs of those assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expenses.
This activity is reconciled as follows:
Capital outlay, net of disposals 3,343,324
Depreciation and amortization expense (3,873,217)
Long-term debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Premiums associated with the issuance of long-term debt are reported as revenues in the governmental funds, but in the Statement of Net Position, the premiums are deferred and amortized throughout the period during which the related debt is outstanding. Repayment of principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but in the Statement of Net Position the repayment reduces long-term liabilities.
Principal payments 1,670,000
Amortization of bond premium 80,464
Direct borrowing principal payments 92,560
Deferred losses on refunding of long-term debt in the Statement of Net Position are deferred and amortized throughout the period during which the related debt is outstanding. (28,800)
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.
Change in compensated absences 44,285
Change in claims and judgments payable 2,128
Change in accrued interest for Certificates of Participation 37,751 Net difference between pension expense recorded on the government wide statement of activities and contributions paid. 750,604 Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not meet the "availability" criteria for revenue recognition are reported as deferred inflows of resources, unavailable revenues, in the governmental funds.

June 30, 2022
Note 1 - Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
The Financial Reporting Entity
The City of Laguna Hills (the City) was incorporated on December 20, 1991 under the General Laws of the State of California. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services: public safety, highways and streets, parks, solid waste, public improvements, planning and zoning, building and safety, community services, and general administrative services.
This report includes all fund types of the City (the primary government) and the Laguna Hills Public Improvement Corporation (the Corporation). The Corporation meets the definition of a component unit and is presented on a blended basis, as if it is a part of the primary government. Although it is a legally separate entity, the governing board of the Corporation is comprised of the same membership as the City Council. The City may impose its will on the Corporation, including the ability to appoint, hire, reassign, or dismiss management. There is also a financial benefit/burden relationship between the City and the Corporation.
The Corporation was established by the City Council on September 2, 1998. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is composed of the five members in connection with the acquisition, construction and improvement of public capital improvements. The activity of the Corporation is reported in the Debt Service Fund. Separate financial statements are not prepared for this blended component unit. 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 the basic financial statements
Government-wide Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements display information about the reporting government as a whole, except for its fiduciary activities. These statements include separate columns for the governmental and business-type activities of the primary government. 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. Also, interfund services provided and used have not been eliminated.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
29 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. The 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, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources resulting from non-exchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 33.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. The types of transactions reported as program revenues for the City are reported in three categories: charges for service, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions.
Charges for services include revenues from customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function. Grants and contributions include revenues restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements, rather than reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the governmentwide 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 expenditures.
Reclassifications and Eliminations
Interfund balances must generally be eliminated in the government-wide statements, except for net residual amounts due between governmental and business-type activities. Amounts involving fiduciary funds should be reported as external transactions. Any allocations must reduce the expenses of the function from which the expenses are being allocated, so that expenses are reported only once - in the function in which they are allocated.
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, deferred inflows of resources, 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.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
30 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 major funds individually and non-major 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, of which none are reported in the current year.
Governmental Funds
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the modified-accrual basis of accounting. Their 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. For this purpose, the City considers its general revenue, to be available if they are collected within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year. The City uses a 60-day and 180-day availability period for property tax and special revenue grants and contributions, respectively.
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 non-exchange 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.
Sales taxes, property taxes, franchise fees, gas taxes, motor vehicle in lieu fees, highway user’s taxes, transient occupancy taxes, grants and investment income 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. Other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available where cash is received by the government.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current financial resources measurement focus. This means that only current assets, current liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on their balance sheets. The reported fund balance 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.
Non-current 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 non-current liabilities. Since they do not affect fund balance, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.

31 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. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as fund expenditures.
When expenditures are incurred, the City’s applies the most restrictive funds first; and then the City would use the appropriate funds in the following order: committed, assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts.
Proprietary Fund
The City’s enterprise fund is a proprietary fund. In the fund financial statements, the proprietary fund is 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, the proprietary fund is presented using the economic resources measurement focus. This means that all assets and liabilities (whether current or non-current) associated with their activity are included on their statement of net position. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. The City has no internal service funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as rental fees, result from exchange transactions associated with principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Non-operating revenues, such as investment income, results from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities. Proprietary fund operating expenses result from providing the services in connection with the proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the enterprise fund financial statements, rather than reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the enterprise fund financial statements, rather than as an other 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 expenditures.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenses are considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then from unrestricted resources. c) Major Funds and Fiduciary Fund Types
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for resources traditionally associated with government, which are not required legally or by sound financial management to be accounted for in another fund.
ARPA Special Revenue Fund
The ARPA Special Revenue Fund accounts for revenue received from U.S Department of Treasury from the local allocation for the American Rescue Plan Act to provide relief funds that have been negatively impacted from the coronavirus pandemic.

32 Capital Projects Fund
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition and construction of the City’s capital projects.
The City reports the following major proprietary fund:
Property Leasing
The City Hall Fund is used to account for activity pertaining to the leasing of certain areas in the Laguna Hills Civic Center, which has been the City Hall site and seat of government since June 28, 2004.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Special Revenue Funds
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for certain revenue sources set aside for specific purposes, to avoid including restricted revenues within the general fund and to provide separate information on the sources and applications of these restricted sources.
d) New Accounting Pronouncements
Current Year Standards
GASB Statement No. 87 - As of July 1, 2021, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 87, Leases. The implementation of this standard establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. The standard requires recognition of certain right to use leased assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract.
The standard also requires lessors to recognize a lease receivable and deferred inflow of resources. As a result of implementing this standard, the City recognized a lease receivable and deferred inflow of resources in the amount of $908,116 and $908,116 as of July 1, 2021, within the general fund, as well as the government wide governmental activities. The City also recognized a lease receivable and deferred inflow of resources in the amount of $1,138,311 and $1,138,311 as of July 1, 2021, within the Enterprise - Property Leasing fund, as well as the business-type activities. As a result of these adjustments there was no effect on beginning net position or fund balance. The additional disclosures required by this standard are included in Note 15.
Pending Accounting Standards
GASB has issued the following statements that may impact the City’s financial reporting requirements in the future. The City is currently evaluating the potential impact of these statements:
GASB Statement No. 91 - Conduit Debt Obligations.
GASB Statement No. 94 - Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements.
GASB Statement No. 96 - Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements.
GASB Statement No. 99 - Omnibus 2022.
GASB Statement No. 100 - Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
GASB Statement No. 101 - Compensated Absences.

33 e) Cash and Investments
Investments are reported in the accompanying basic financial statements at fair value, which is 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. Investments that are not traded on a market, such as investments in external pools, are valued based on the stated fair value represented by the external pool.
Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.
The City pools cash and investments of all funds, except for amounts held by fiscal agents. Investment income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds based on each fund’s average cash and investment balance.
f) Statement of Cash Flows
The enterprise proprietary fund participates in the City-wide cash and investments pool, which provides immediate access to invested funds. Accordingly, all cash and investments are considered to be cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows. g) Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements utilizing the consumption method. h) Property Taxes
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied providing they become available (within 60 days of the fiscal year end). The County of Orange collects property taxes for the City. Tax liens attach annually as of 12:01 am on the first day of January proceeding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. The tax levy covers the fiscal period July 1 to June 30. All secured personal property taxes and one-half of the taxes on real property are due November 1; the second installment is due February 1. All taxes are delinquent, if unpaid, on December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured personal property taxes become due on January 1 each year, and are delinquent, if unpaid, on August 31. i) Capital Assets
Capital assets are capital outlay for assets of a permanent nature, valued at $5,000 or more and the usage of which is expected to be more than five years. Right to use leased assets in excess of $20,000 are capitalized.
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Contributed capital assets are valued at acquisition value at the date of the contribution.
Capital assets include public domain (infrastructure) general assets consisting of certain improvements including roads, streets, sidewalks, medians, and storm drains.

34 Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method in the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements of the enterprise fund.
Depreciation is charged as an expense against operations and accumulated depreciation is reported on the respective statements of net position. The range of lives used for depreciation purposes for each capital asset class, are as follows:
Years
Building and improvements 20 years
Machinery and equipment 5 - 10 years
Infrastructure 5 - 60 years
Land improvements 20 years
Asset
j) Lease Receivable
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.
k) Claims and Judgments Payable
As of July 1, 2003, the City became a member of the Exclusive Risk Management Authority of California. The annual premium includes estimates for the amounts paid for reported claims and incurred but not reported claims based upon past experience, modified for current trends and information. Premiums are recorded as expenditures when they become payable from expendable available resources. When it is probable that a claims liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated through historical trends and calculation of incurred but not reported claims (IBNR), the City accrues the estimated liability for the expected claims and judgments. These amounts are recorded in the government-wide financial statements. A liability is reported in the governmental funds only if there is an amount due and payable at June 30. l) Deferred Inflows and Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the government-wide statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet 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 future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category:
• Deferred loss on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt, which is 15 years.
• Deferred outflows related to pensions equal to employer contributions made after the measurement date of the net pension liability.

35 • Deferred outflows related to pensions for differences between expected and actual experiences, changes in assumptions, and changes in proportion and differences between employer contributions and the proportionate share of contributions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the plans.
In addition to liabilities, the government-wide statement of net position and the governmental funds 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 future periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category:
• Deferred inflows from unavailable revenues, which are reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from three sources, which are property damage, planning fees, and grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period the amounts become available.
• Deferred inflows related to pensions for differences between expected and actual experiences, changes in assumptions, and changes in proportion and differences between employer contributions and the proportionate share of contributions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the plans.
• Deferred inflows related to pensions resulting from the difference in projected and actual earnings on investments of the pension plan fiduciary net position. These amounts are amortized over five years. • Deferred inflows related to leases where the City is the lessor and is reported in the governmental fund balance sheet and statement of net position. The deferred inflows of resources related to leases are recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) on the straight-line basis over the term of the lease. m) Compensated Absences
Vacation time is provided to all full-time and extended part-time employees. Upon separation or retirement from City service, all employees shall be compensated at their prevailing pay rate for their accrued vacation. No employee shall be allowed to carry over more than 320 hours of vacation time from one fiscal year to the next.
At the start of the fiscal year, if an employee has more than 320 hours accrued, the City will automatically cash out any hours in excess of 320.
The City provides an ICMA Vantage Care Retirement Health Savings (RHS) Plan, a defined contribution plan, to its full-time employees that have reached ten (10) years of service with the City. This employer- sponsored retiree health benefit allows employees to accumulate assets to pay for medical expenses on a tax-free basis either upon separation of service from the City or age 50 dependent upon when contributions to the plan were made. In compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, contributions to the plan made after December 31, 2013, are available to plan participants for medical expenses only upon separation of employment. In the event of a participant’s death, the participant’s surviving spouse and/or eligible dependent(s) are immediately eligible to maintain the account and utilize it to fund eligible medical expenses. If a participant’s balance is not fully depleted upon the death of the eligible spouse, the account balance may continue to be utilized to pay medical expenses of eligible dependents. An eligible dependent is (a) the

36 participant’s lawful spouse, (b) the participant’s child under the age of 27, as defined by IRC Section 152(f)(1) and Internal Revenue Service Notice 2010-38, or (c) any other individual who is a person described in IRC Section 152(a), as classified by Internal Revenue Service Notice 2004-79. The assets of the individual plans are not subject to claims of the City’s creditors. The start-up contribution for employees will be based on their accumulated sick leave hours in excess of 160 hours at their prevailing pay rate, upon the completion of ten (10) years of service to the City. Thereafter, annual contributions will be made to each employee’s account for their unused sick leave hours in excess of 160 hours on June 30th of each fiscal year at the employees’ prevailing pay rate. Upon separation from employment, the City will make a final contribution on behalf of the employee equivalent to all the unused sick leave balance of the employee at the employee’s prevailing pay rate at the time of separation. The City also contributes $5,000 on behalf of each participant, upon completion of ten years of service and annually thereafter on the participant’s employment anniversary date as long as the individual is an employee with the City. The $5,000 City contributions cease after termination or retirement of the employee. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City contributed $45,000 to the RHS Plan.
All vacation and sick leave pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
n) 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 (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ 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. o) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the basic financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as prescribed by the GASB, requires management to make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses/expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
The above investments do not address investment of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee. Investments of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code.
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.

39 The City has a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from interest rates. The City limits the investment maturities for operating funds to be scheduled to coincide with projected cash flow needs, taking into account large routine expenditures as well as considering sizable blocks of anticipated revenue. The City has elected the specific identification method to present the investment maturities as follows.

Investment Type
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. The City’s minimum legal rating for Money Market Mutual Funds is AAA. There is no minimum legal rating applicable for investments in the Local Agency Investment Fund and the City has no minimum legal rating for investments in CalTRUST. As of June 30, 2022, the City’s investment in the Local Agency Investment Fund has not been rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration credit risk is the heightened risk of potential loss when investments are concentrated in one issuer. As of June 30, 2022, other than the State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund and the CalTRUST Money Market Mutual Fund, the City had no investments concentrated in one issuer which exceeded 5% of total investments.
Custodial Credit Risk
The 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 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 to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.

40 The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure a city's deposits by pledging government securities with a fair value of 110% of a city's deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure a city’s deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a fair value of 150% of a city's total deposits. The collateral for deposits in federal and state-chartered banks is held in safekeeping by an authorized Agent of Depository recognized by the State of California Department of Banking.
The collateral for deposits with savings and loan associations is generally held in safekeeping by the Federal Home Loan Bank in San Francisco, California as an Agent of Depository. These securities are physically held in an undivided pool for all California public agency depositors. Under Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a bank or savings and loan association with an "Agent of Depository" has the effect of perfecting the security interest in the name of the local governmental agency. Accordingly, all collateral held by California Agents of Depository are considered to be held for, and in the name of, the local governmental agency.
As of June 30, 2022, none of the City’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits were held in uncollateralized accounts.
For investments identified herein as held by bond trustee, the bond trustee selects the investment under the terms of the applicable trust agreement acquires the investment, and holds the investment on behalf of the reporting government.
Investment in State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund The City is a voluntary participant in the State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund that is regulated by the 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 State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund for the entire State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio).
The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. The Local Agency Investment Fund is not registered with the Securities Exchange Commission and not rated.
Investment in CalTRUST Investment Pool:
CalTRUST is a Joint Powers Agency Authority created by local public agencies to provide a convenient method for local public agencies to voluntarily pool their assets for investment purposes. CalTRUST is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of experienced local agency treasurers and investment officers. The Board sets overall policies for the program and selects and supervises the activities of the investment manager and other agents. CalTRUST maintains and administers four pooled accounts within the program: Government Fund, Money Market, Short-Term, and Medium-Term. The Government Fund and Money Market accounts permit daily transactions, with same-day liquidity (provided redemption requests are received by 1:00 p.m. Pacific time), with no limit on the amount of funds that may be invested. The Short-Term account permits an unlimited number of transactions per month (with prior day notice), with no limit on the amount of funds that may be invested. The Medium-Term account permits investments, withdrawals and transfers once per month, with five days advance notice. All CalTRUST accounts comply with the limits and restrictions placed on local agency investments by the California Government Code. CalTRUST imposes a $250,000 minimum investment; however, there is no maximum limit.

41 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 percentage interest of the fair value provided by CalTRUST for the CalTRUST accounts (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by CalTRUST.
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 in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
Amounts invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund and CalTRUST Money Market Mutual Funds are not subject to fair value measurements. Deposits and withdrawals are made on the basis of $1 and not at fair value.

45 2010 Certificates of Participation
On January 26, 2010, the City (through the City’s blended component unit the Corporation) issued $17,190,000 of Certificates of Participation (COPs). Proceeds from the sale were placed in an irrevocable trust that was used to service the future debt requirements of the 2001 and 2003 Certificates of Participation. There are no amounts outstanding on the defeased COPs.
The 2010 COPs are direct obligations and pledge the full faith and credit of the City of Laguna Hills. The certificates were executed and delivered under the provisions of the Trust Agreement by and among The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A, as trustee. The City is required under the Agreement to make rental payments each 15th day of the month immediately preceding each February 1st and August 1st from any source of available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the annual principal and interest due with respect to the Certificates.
The Serial bonds mature in annual installments ranging from $345,000 to $1,670,000, commencing February 1, 2011 and ending February 1, 2025. Interest accrues at rates between 4.00% and 5.00% and is payable semiannually. The annual requirements to amortize the certificates of participation as of June 30, 2022, are as follows:

47 Note 7 - General Liability Insurance
In July 2003, the City joined the Exclusive Risk Management Authority of California (ERMAC), a pool of three other cities in California, namely Beaumont, Hayward, and Santa Maria, established under the provisions of California Government Code Section 6502, in order to jointly develop and fund General Liability insurance.
The ERMAC policy covers the City for losses due to personal injury, property damage, wrongful acts because of public officials’ errors and omissions and unfair employment practices (see the chart below for City’s retained limits and policy liability limits). Legal defense costs may be covered in addition to policy limits.
The City carries property, business interruption, flood, and boiler & machinery insurance with ERMAC (PEPIP Program) to cover all City property. In addition, Difference in Conditions (DIC) or earthquake, including flood, is provided by Everest Indemnity Insurance Company, which covers the Laguna Hills Civic Center only.
The City is also a member in an insurance pool through the Special District Risk Management Authority (SDRMA). SDRMA is a not-for-profit public agency formed under California Government Code Sections 6500 et.
Seq. SDRMA is governed by a board composed of members from participating agencies. The mission of SDRMA is to provide renewable, efficiently priced risk financing and risk management services through a financially sound pool. The City pays an annual premium for commercial insurance covering workers’ compensation and employers’ liability claims. Separate financial statements of SDRMA may be obtained at Special District Risk Management Authority, 1112 “I” Street, Suite 300, Sacramento, California 95814.

49 Claims Liability
In the financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus, authoritative standards require that the liability for claims and the corresponding expense should be recognized in the period in which the underlying event occurs. Therefore, the liability of outstanding unallocated loss adjustment expenses (ULAE) must be established to represent the amount that will be paid out in claims as well as the expenses associated with processing of those claims. The City’s third-party administrator provides the data on estimated claim liabilities (paid and reserves). As of June 30, 2022, the estimated outstanding ULAE was $304,323.
Furthermore, as a practical matter, claims are often not reported during the period in which the underlying event occurs. The claim, even if not filed timely, must still be reported in the period in which the underlying event took place. Therefore, when it is probable that a claims liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated through historical trends, the liability for claims should include an amount for incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims. IBNR is estimated at 25% of the increase in the current year annual claim expenses as compared to the prior year annual claim expenses. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated IBNR was approximately $2,021.
The following is a summary of the changes in the claims liability for the last two fiscal years:
FY 2021/22 FY 2020/21
Claims payable, beginning $ 306,451 $ 55,435
Claims and changes in estimate 104,323 306,451
Claims payments (106,451) (55,435)
Claims payable, ending $ 304,323 $ 306,451
Fiscal Year Ending June 30,
The total amount assigned in the Claims Liability Loss Reserve Fund as of June 30, 2022 is $200,000 which would cover two full limit losses. The City’s self-insured retention is $100,000.
In the current fiscal year, the City experienced a claim for the amount of $593,196 which is $493,196 over the self-insured retention amount. The amount over the self-insurance limit is covered by the insurer.
During the fiscal year, the none of the above programs of protection have experienced settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were also no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage in 2021-2022.

50 Note 8 - Pension Plans
a) General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Descriptions
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City’s Miscellaneous Employee Pension Plans, cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
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 and 52 with statutorily reduced benefits for Tier I and PEPRA, respectively. All members are eligible for non-industrial disability benefits after 5 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. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.
The Plans’ provisions and benefits in effect at the measurement period ending June 30, 2021, are summarized as follows:
Tier 1 PEPRA

51 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 the 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 rate 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.
Typically, the City liquidates its net pension liability with general fund resources. b) Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions As of June 30, 2022, the City reported net pension liabilities for its proportionate share of the net pension liability of all Plans as follows:
Proportionate
Share of Net
Pension Liability
Miscellaneous $ 1,943,651
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability.
The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2021, and the total pension liability for the Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020 rolled forward to June 30, 2021 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined.
The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for all Plans as of the measurement dates ended June 30, 2020 and 2021 was as follows:
Miscellaneous
Proportion - June 30, 2020 0.41204%

54 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 as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Assumed Real Return Real Return
Asset Years Years
Allocation 1 - 10 (b) 11+ (c)
Global Equity 50.00% 4.80% 5.98%
Fixed Income 28.00% 1.00% 2.62%
Inflation Assets 0.00% 0.77% 1.81%
Private Equity 8.00% 6.30% 7.23%
Real Assets 13.00% 3.75% 4.93%
Liquidity 1.00% 0.00% -0.92%

(a) In the CalPERS ACFR, Fixed Income is included in Global Debt Securities; Liquidity is included in Short-term Investments; Inflation Assets are included in both Global Equity Securities and Global Debt Securities
(b) An expected inflation of 2.00% used for this period (c) An expected inflation of 2.92% used for this period Asset Class (a)
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Note 9 - Deferred Compensation
The City offers its employees two kinds of defined contribution deferred compensation plans. City contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended.
One plan is created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. This plan, available to all employees, permits them to defer annually up to a maximum of $19,500 for calendar years 2021 and 2022, respectively.
This maximum deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. Amounts accumulated under the plan have been invested in several investment options administered by independent third-party administrators at the direction of the employee. The assets of the plan are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the plan participants and their beneficiaries, and the assets cannot be diverted to any other purpose. The Trustee’s beneficial ownership of plan assets held in the ICMA Retirement Trust is held for the further exclusive benefit of the plan participants and their beneficiaries. The plan permits loans, administered by the City, in accordance with approved loan guidelines. The City contributes
3.75% of the employee’s compensation for part-time seasonal employees. There are no City contributions required for full-time and non-seasonal part-time employees. The City’s total contributions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was $5,017.

56 The other Plan is a defined contribution plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 401A.
This Plan is available to all management staff regardless of years of service, and non-management employees who have reached a minimum of ten years of service with the City. The City is the sole contributor to this Plan and sets the contribution amount to each class of eligible employees. The contribution limit is in accordance with the prevailing IRS regulation, which is 3% for eligible non-management employees and 6.5% for eligible management employees. The City’s total contributions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was $73,282.
The assets of this Plan, held for the exclusive benefits of the Plan’s participants and their beneficiaries, are administered by the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), and the trustee is Union Bank of California.
Amounts accumulated under this Plan are self-directed by each participant.
Note 10 - Classification of Net Position and Governmental Fund Balances Net Position is measured on the full accrual basis of accounting as compared to the concept of Fund Balance, which is measured on the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Net Position Classifications
Net Position is divided into three captions as 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, less outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these capital assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter. Restricted net position is subject to constraints either by (1) externally imposed by creditors (such as debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulation of other governments or (2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted, describes the portion of which is not restricted as to use.
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.

57 Governmental Fund Balances Classifications
Fund Balances of the governmental funds are reported separately within classifications based on a hierarchy of constraints placed on the use of those resources. The classifications are based on the relative strength of the constraints that control how the specific amounts can be spent. The classifications are nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance.
The nonspendable fund balance classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted fund balances are those that have externally imposed restrictions on their usage by creditors, such as through debt covenants, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations.
Committed fund balances are those constrained to specific purposes determined by a formal action (resolution) of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, the City Council. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally. The City does not have any committed fund balances at June 30, 2022.
Assigned fund balances include amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes. The City Manager has the authority to assign the portion of the fund balance in the general fund that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for reserves as established in the City’s Financial Policy No. 105 Section G.
Unassigned fund balances include the residual balance for the City’s general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification is used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed or assigned.
When expenditures are incurred, the City’s applies the most restrictive funds first; and then the City would use the appropriate funds in the following order: committed, assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts.

59 Note 11 - Joint Venture
Orange County Fire Authority
In January 1995, the City of Laguna Hills entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with the Cities of Buena Park, Cypress, Dana Point, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Mission Viejo, Placentia, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Seal Beach, Stanton, Tustin, Villa Park, and Yorba Linda and the County of Orange to create the Orange County Fire Authority (the Authority). Since the creation of the Authority, the Cities of Aliso Viejo, Laguna Woods, Rancho Santa Margarita and Westminster have joined the Authority as members eligible for protection services. The purpose of the Authority is to provide for mutual fire protection, prevention and suppression services and related and incidental services including, but not limited to, emergency medical and transport services, as well as providing facilities and personnel for such services. The effective date of formation was March 1, 1995. The Authority’s governing board consists of one representative from each City and two from the County. The operations of the Authority are funded with structural fire fees collected by the County through the property tax roll for the unincorporated area and on behalf of all member Cities except for the Cities of Stanton, Tustin, San Clemente, Buena Park, Placentia, Seal Beach and Westminster.
The County pays all structural fire fees it collects to the Authority. The Cities of Stanton, Tustin, San Clemente, Buena Park, Placentia, Seal Beach and Westminster are considered “cash contract cities” and accordingly make cash contributions based on the Authority’s annual budget. No determination has been made as to each participant’s proportionate share of fund equity as of June 30, 2022. Upon dissolution of the Authority, all surplus money and property of the Authority will be conveyed or distributed to each member in proportion to all funds provided to the Authority by that member or by the County on behalf of that member during its membership.
Complete financial statements may be obtained from the Orange County Fire Authority, 180 South Water Street, Orange, California 92866.
Note 12 - Related Party Transactions
The City’s enterprise fund consists of owning a piece of commercial real estate and leasing it to various entities.
The total square footage of the building is 51,944. The City is a tenant using approximately 21,033 square feet of the building. The enterprise fund does not charge the City rent. The estimated annual rent for the space occupied by the City would be approximately $549,960.

Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies
The City is occasionally a defendant in lawsuits which have arisen in the normal course of business. Damages are alleged in some of these actions and their outcome cannot be predicted with certainty. However, in the opinion of the City Attorney, the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the City.
The City participates in several federal and state grant programs. The programs are subject to examination by the granters and the amount, if any, of expenses which may be disallowed by the granting agency cannot be determined at this time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

Business-Type Activities - Property Leasing:
The City has accrued a receivable for 11 building leases. The remaining receivable for these leases was $1,336,157 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Deferred inflows related to these leases were $1,308,850 as of June 30, 2022. Interest revenue recognized on these leases was $23,066 for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Principal receipts of $257,208 were recognized during the fiscal year. The interest rate on the leases is between
1.25% and 3.25%. Final receipt is expected in fiscal year 2037.
The lease agreement call for payments that are partially variable and therefore were not included in lease receivable or deferred inflow of resources for leases. These variable payments are a result of the underlying lease measured not on a fixed rate, but rather variable due to the underlying payments derived from 1.18% through 5.83 percent of lessee’s share of operating expense. A total of $168,002 was recognized as revenue from these variable payments for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Note 1 - Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are used as a management control device. The City Council approves the two-year budget submitted by the City Manager prior to the beginning of the new two-year budget cycle. The Council conducts public hearings prior to its adoption. All remaining appropriations in the Operating Budget will be carried over from the first year to the second year of the two-year budget period. The City Council has the legal authority to amend the budget at any time during the fiscal year. The City Manager has the authority to transfer budgeted amounts between funds and divisions as deemed necessary to meet the City’s needs within the overall legal limit established by the City Council. The city maintains budgetary controls to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the appropriated budget approved by the City Council. The level of budgetary control is total expenditures by fund. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the fiscal year for the governmental fund types.
Biennial budgets are adopted for all governmental funds except for certain special revenue funds and capital projects funds, which adopt project length budgets. The following Special Revenue Funds did not have an adopted budget during the current fiscal year: CARITS, Public Art, CDBG, SB 1383 Grant, and Water Conservation.
The following funds had expenditures in excess of appropriations for the year ended June 30, 2022:

AT A GLANCE
GENERAL INFORMATION The City of Laguna Hills, located in South Orange County, has approximately 6.6 square miles of land in its corporate boundary and is now home to 31,073 people. The majority of the area in the City has a distinctive residential character. Yet, the City has a commercial base in its northern part. This area, or “urban village”, is anchored by upcoming development of The Village at Laguna Hills, the Oakbrook Village Retail Center, and Saddleback Memorial Hospital. It includes retail, restaurant, professional office, and medical related building space. When the City annexed the “North Laguna Hills” area in July of 1996, the City acquired 1.2 square miles of primarily light industrial, professional office, specialty retail, hotel, and residential uses. This annexed area contains a furniture row, office headquarters, and the only light industrial/manufacturing establishments in the City. In September of 2000, the City grew by another 150 acres as a result of the annexation of residential properties identified as West Laguna Hills.
HISTORY Laguna Hills is built on one of the major land grants developed during the rancho area. Following Mexico’s independence from Spain in 1821, those who had served in the government or who had friends in authority were given vast lands for cattle grazing. Rancho Lomas de Santiago, Rancho San Joaquin, and Rancho Niguel covered much of the western portion of the Saddleback Valley. Don Juan Avila was granted the 13,000‐acre Rancho Niguel on which Laguna Hills is located. In 1874, Lewis Moulton purchased Rancho Niguel from Don Juan Avila and increased the original grant to 22,000 acres. Moulton and his partner, Jean Piedrea Daguerre, used the ranch to raise sheep and cattle. The Moulton ranch was eventually subdivided in the early 1960s, part of which is recognized as Laguna Hills. Incorporation efforts began in 1987 and on March 5, 1991, the goal of incorporation was finally achieved with 86% of the residents voting in favor of forming the City of Laguna Hills. On December 20, 1991, Laguna Hills officially became a City.
CITY GOVERNMENT The City of Laguna Hills is a General Law City that operates under the Council/Manager form of government. The voters elect five of their fellow citizens to the City Council for overlapping four‐year terms. The Council, in turn, selects one of its members to serve as Mayor for a one‐year term. The City Council holds regular public meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. 118

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Laguna Hills, California
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Laguna Hills (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 30, 2023. Our report included emphasis of matter paragraphs describing the City’s adoption of the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases, for the year ended June 30, 2022 and restatement of beginning enterprise property leasing fund net position for the correction of an error.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of 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 and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We identified certain deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2022-001 and 2022-002 that we consider to be material weaknesses.
4.6.c
Packet Pg. 217 Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final Single Audit Report (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 2 Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards and which are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2022-002.
City’s Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s response to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. The City’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Laguna Hills, California
Report on Compliance for the Major Federal Program
Opinion on the Major Federal Program
We have audited City of Laguna Hills (City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the City’s major federal program for the year ended June 30, 2022. The City’s major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal program for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Basis for Opinion on the Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City‘s federal programs.
4.6.c
Packet Pg. 219 Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final Single Audit Report (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 4 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of the major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
• Obtain an understanding of City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Other Matters
The results of our auditing procedures disclosed an instance of noncompliance, which is required to be reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and which is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2022-004. Our opinion on the major federal program is not modified with respect to this matter.
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s response to the noncompliance finding identified in our compliance audit described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The City’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
4.6.c
Packet Pg. 220 Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final Single Audit Report (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 5 Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, as discussed below, we did identify certain deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be significant deficiencies.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the deficiencies in internal control over compliance described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2022-003 and 2022-004 to be significant deficiencies.
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.
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s response to the internal control over compliance findings identified in our compliance audit described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The City’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Packet Pg. 221 Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final Single Audit Report (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 6 Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. We issued our report thereon dated March 30, 2023, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our report included emphasis of matter paragraphs describing the City’s adoption of the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases, for the year ended June 30, 2022 and restatement of beginning enterprise property leasing fund net position for the correction of an error. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is 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 schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Effect:
Excess expenditures over budgeted appropriations of $1,111,157 and $67,534, respectively, are disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Laguna Hills
Laguna Hills, California
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Laguna Hills (City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and have issued our report thereon dated March 30, 2023. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards and our Compliance Audit under the Uniform Guidance As communicated in our letter dated July 7, 2022, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express an opinion about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to express an opinion on whether the City complied with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on the City’s major federal program. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards as it relates to the audit of the City’s major federal program compliance, is to express an opinion on the compliance for the City’s major federal program based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. An audit of major program compliance includes consideration of internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, as a part of our major program compliance audit, we considered internal control over compliance for these purposes and not to provide any assurance on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance.
4.6.d
Packet Pg. 232 Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final Governance Letter (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 2 We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.
We have provided our comments regarding internal controls during our audit in our Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards dated March 30, 2023. We have also provided our comments regarding compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above and internal controls over compliance during our audit in our Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance with Each Major Federal Program and Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Required by the Uniform Guidance dated March 30, 2023.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
The timing of the audit was modified to provide the City additional time to complete its year-end accounting close.
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, our firm, and other firms utilized in the engagement, if applicable, have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
Qualitative Aspects of the Entity’s Significant Accounting Practices Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the CIty is included in Note 1 to the financial statements. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 87, Leases. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management’s current judgments.
The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are management’s estimates of the net pension liability (asset), related deferred inflows and outflows of resources, pension expense, and disclosures.
Management’s estimate of the pension information is based on actuarial valuations. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
4.6.d
Packet Pg. 233 Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final Governance Letter (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 3 Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the City’s financial statements relate to:
• Pension liabilities in Note 8 are sensitive to the underlying actuarial assumptions used, including, but not limited to, the investment rate of return and discount rate. As disclosed in Note 8, a 1% increase or decrease in the discount rate has a significant effect on the City’s net pension liabilities. • Excess of expenditures over appropriations in Note 13 are sensitive due to the non-compliance created when expenditures exceed the biennial budget figures. For the year ended June 30, 2022, expenditures exceeded appropriations for both the ARPA and aggregate remaining funds.
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole.Uncorrected misstatements or matters underlying those uncorrected misstatements could potentially cause future-period financial statements to be materially misstated, even though the uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial statements currently under audit. There were no uncorrected missstatements identified as a result of our audit procedures.
The following misstatements that we identified as a result of our audit procedures were brought to the attention of, and corrected by, management:
• $663,016 to increase net position as a result of erroneous depreciation expense in a prior year. • $23,272 reduction in LAIF investments due to the GASB 31 fair market value adjustment.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the City’s financial statements or the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.
Circumstances that Affect the Form and Content of the Auditor’s Report For purposes of this letter, professional standards require that we communicate any circumstances that affect the form and content of our auditor’s report. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, due to the adoption of GASB Statement 87, Leases, the restated opening balances as of July 1, 2021, with no impact to beginning net position or fund balance. Additionally, the report included an emphasis of matter relating to the correction of an error as disclosed in Note 16. We have included an emphasis of matter in our report regarding these restatements.
4.6.d
Packet Pg. 234 Attachment: City of Laguna Hills 2022 Final Governance Letter (3160 : Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2022) 4 Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management which are included in the management representation letter dated March 30, 2023.
Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, significant events or transactions that occurred during the year, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the City’s auditors.
Noncompliance with Laws and Regulations
We have identified the following matters involving noncompliance with laws and regulations that came to our attention during the course of the audit.
As described in 2022-002, the City had expenditures in excess of budgeted appropriations of $1,111,157 and $67,354 for the ARPA fund and aggregate remaining funds, respectively.
Other Information Included in Annual Reports
Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information, whether financial or nonfinancial, included in the City’s annual reports, does not extend beyond the financial information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information.
Additionally, in accordance with such standards, we have read the introductory and statistical sections of the City’s annual report and considered whether such information, or the manner of its presentation, was materially inconsistent with its presentation in the financial statements.
Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a material misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, and management of the City and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.
