Introduction
of
Ordinance
x
adding
Chapter
9.55 to
the
Lancaster
Municipal
Code
Relating
to Vacant Residential Properties
Recommendation(s):
Adopt
Ordinance
No.
_______
,
adding
Chapter
9.55 to
the
Lancaster
Municipal
Code
relating to Vacant Residential Properties.
Vacant
properties
have
the
potential
to
be
a
significant
source
of
blight
in
residential
neighborhoods,
particularly
when
property
owners
neglect
their
maintenance
and
management.
When
this
happens,
unkept
properties
have
the
potential
to
depreciate
property
values and create other neighborhood issues including trespassing and unsightly vegetation.

in
reviewing
priorities
and
evaluating

8 Mayor Parris adjourned today’s meeting in honor of the life of Deputy Daniel V. Chavira, a member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department who tragically passed away in a vehicle accident last week.
Deputy Chavira served with unwavering dedication and promise. A graduate of Academy Class 476, he had only recently begun his service at the North County Correctional Facility but had already made a profound impression on those around him. He came from a proud law enforcement family that continues to serve in the region, many here in the Antelope Valley.
Though he was only 21 years old, his commitment to protecting others was clear both in and out of uniform. We extend our deepest condolences to Deputy Chavira’s family, friends, and fellow deputies. We hold them in our hearts and prayers during this time of unimaginable grief.
Deputy Chavira-thank you for your service.
Mayor Parris adjourned the meeting at 2:42 p.m. and stated the next City Council/Successor Agency/Financing/Power Authority meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 1:30 p.m.

TN
Date: June 10, 2025
To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: Sonya Patterson, Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Community Services Director Subject: Lease Agreement for 44845 Cedar Avenue
Recommendation:
1. Approve lease agreement for use of real property, located at 44845 Cedar Avenue, to the OUTreach Center through June 2026.
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to sign all documents related to the lease agreement and all amendments, including amendments to extend the term, subject to City Attorney approval.
G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:
City of Lancaster to receive $125 per month in rent, resulting in an annual revenue of $1,500.
Background:
Staff recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the City’s standard commercial lease agreement for the City-owned building at 44845 Cedar Avenue, a ground-floor storefront within the Cedar Center for the Arts on The BLVD corridor. The proposed lease formalizes an arrangement that has been in place and is structured as a one-year term, pre-paid at a subsidized $125 per month, followed by a month-to-month tenancy that either party may end with 30 days’ notice.
The OUTreach Center, the Antelope Valley’s LGBTQ+ resource hub, uses the space to host small peer-support circles, youth leadership workshops, and health-navigation clinics that operate primarily on evenings and weekends. These low-impact activities align with Council priorities for inclusive services and downtown activation.

Approval of the lease will therefore secure continued community programming, recover operating costs, and keep the property under a flexible, City-controlled agreement that can be adjusted as future needs evolve.

19.Insurance. Tenant’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, inventory and vehicles are not insured by Landlord against loss or damage due to fire, theft, vandalism, rain, water, criminal or negligent actors of others, or any other cause. Tenant is to carry Tenant’s own property insurance to protect Tenant from any such loss. In addition, Tenant shall carry liability insurance in an amount of not less than $2,000,000.00 (two million dollars). Tenant’s liability insurance shall name “the City of Lancaster, its elected officials, officers, employees and volunteers as additional covered parties, but only insofar as the operations under this contract are concerned”. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance establishing Tenant’s compliance prior to the effective date of this Agreement. Failure to timely provide such certificate shall constitute a breach of the terms of this Agreement as set forth in Section 21 of this Agreement. Both Landlord and Tenant release each other, and waive their respective rights to subrogation against each other, for loss of damage covered by Insurance.
20. Release; Waiver; Acknowledgment. Tenant hereby forever releases, discharges and acquits the City, its City Council and the members thereof, and its officers, elected and/or appointed officials, employees and agents, from any and all sums of money, claims, contentions, allegations, demands, accounts, actions and/or causes of action whatsoever heretofore arising or now existing by virtue of any matter, fact, transaction or occurrence whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, relating to any condition(s) at the Premises, past or present (“Claims”).
Tenant understands and agrees that the foregoing Release extends to all claims of every nature and kind whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected with specific reference to the Claims, and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code are hereby expressly waived. Said section reads as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR
AT THE TIME EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Tenant further understands that the facts in respect of which the foregoing release is given may hereafter turn out to be other than or different from the facts now known to Tenant or believed by Tenant to be true, and Tenant expressly assumes the risk of the facts turning out to be so different and agree that the foregoing release shall be in all respects effective and not subject to termination or rescission by any such difference in facts.
Tenant understands and acknowledges and expressly agrees that Tenant shall not be entitled to relocation benefits of any kind at any time pertaining to Tenant’s occupancy and/or vacation of the Premises.

In the event that Tenant fails to cure any breach of this Agreement within ten (10) days after issuance of written notice from Landlord, Landlord may, with or without further notice or demand, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such breach, terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the premises by any lawful means, in which case this Agreement shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession to Landlord. In such event and/or in the event Tenant gives notice of intent to terminate this Agreement prior to its expiration, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been due and payable up to the time of termination; and (ii) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for the detriment proximately caused the Tenant’s failure to performs its obligations under this Agreement or which would be likely to result from said failure, including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of re-letting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. In the event Tenant was charged a rent rate at less than the standard $0.65 per square foot for some or all of the Term of this Agreement, pursuant to an incentive or other City purpose, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the difference between the Rent actually paid up to the time of termination and the Rent that would have been paid at the full $0.65 per square foot rate up to the time of termination. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate damages caused by Tenant’s breach of this Agreement shall not waive Landlord’s right to recover any damages to which Landlord is other entitled.

25.Waiver. No covenant, term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing by Landlord. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.
26.Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, and its elected officials, officers, employees, agents and representatives, harmless from all claims, disputes, litigation, judgments and attorney fees arising out of Tenant’s use of the Premises.

2. Adopt Resolution No. 25-XX, preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report, fixing time and place for public hearing on the levy of the proposed assessment, and declaring its intention to levy and collect assessments within Lancaster Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 and Fox Field Industrial Corridor Landscape Maintenance District, pursuant to Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.
G.C. Section 84308: No

Background:
Lancaster Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 and Fox Field Industrial Corridor Landscape Maintenance District were formed, including subsequent annexations thereto, for the purpose of providing maintenance services to landscaping and appurtenant improvements for various developments within the City, and assessing those properties which benefit from this service. Each year the City Council must, by law, order the preparation of an Engineer's Report describing the existing and proposed maintenance services, and conduct a public hearing to establish and order the amount of assessment for the next fiscal year.
The landscaping improvements in the areas within the District will be maintained with funds generated by the Landscape Maintenance District. Each lot or parcel within the District that was annexed prior to Fiscal Year 2005/06, as indicated on the diagram, will be assessed a unit assessment of $80 for Fiscal Year 2025/26. The unit assessment for Fiscal Year 2025/26 is the same as Fiscal Year 2004/05, except for those parcels that were annexed beginning Fiscal Year 2005/06, which will be assessed at a rate reflective of an annual index increase consistent with the February consumer price index for Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange Counties. Last year’s rate was $139.50 per benefit unit. For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the rate of assessment will be $143.83 per benefit unit, including the established CPI adjustment of 3.11% ($139.50 + ($139.50 x 0.0311 = $4.33) ($139.50 + $4.33 = $143.83). Last year’s rate for the Fox Field Industrial Corridor Landscape Maintenance District was $0.4591 per benefit unit. For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the rate of assessment will be $0.4734 per benefit unit, including the established CPI adjustment of 3.11% ($0.4591 + ($0.4591 x 0.0311) =$ 0.01427801) ($0.4591 + $0.01428 = $0.4734).

Subject: Lancaster Lighting Maintenance District Annual Assessment for Fiscal Year 2025/26
Recommendation:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-XX, generally describing any proposed improvements or substantial changes in existing improvements, and ordering the assessment engineer, Harris & Associates, to prepare and file a report for Lancaster Lighting Maintenance District (LLMD), pursuant to provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 25-XX, preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Report, fixing time and place for public hearing on the levy of the proposed assessment, and declaring its intention to levy and collect assessments within LLMD, pursuant to Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.
G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:
Each benefit unit will be assessed $131.22, which includes a 3.11% CPI adjustment ($45 in zones that voted "no" during the 2003 election). An estimated preliminary total of $6,758,109.06 will be assessed against the benefiting properties, which will be used for maintenance expenses.
Background:

6 1
On March 11, 2003, the City Council directed that an election be held asking the property owners within the LLMD to approve an increase in the annual street lighting assessment to $70 per lighting unit, including a Consumer Price Index (CPI) based inflator.
LLMD was formed, including subsequent annexations thereto, for the purpose of financing maintenance operations and installation of public lighting facilities, including, but not limited to street lights, public parking lot lights, and highway safety lights (public lighting facilities) (as defined in § 22525 of the California Code) within the City of Lancaster, and assessing those properties, which benefit from this service their proportionate share of the cost. Each year, the City Council must, by law, order the preparation of an Engineer’s Report describing the existing and proposed maintenance services, and conduct a public hearing to establish and order the amount of assessment for the next fiscal year.
Last year’s rate was $127.26. For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the rate of assessment will be $131.22 per lighting unit, including the established CPI adjustment of 3.11% ($127.26+ ($127.26 x 0.0311 = $3.957786) ($127.26 + $3.96= $131.22), except for those parcels within the zones that voted "no", as shown on in the Engineer’s Report, which will remain at $45 per lighting unit.
The street lighting improvements in the areas within the District will be maintained with funds generated by the Lighting Maintenance District. Each lot or parcel within the District that has been annexed as indicated on the diagram will be assessed a unit assessment of $131.22 for Fiscal Year 2025/26.

Subject: Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District Annual Assessment for Fiscal Year 2025/26
Recommendation:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 25-XX, generally describing any proposed improvements or substantial changes in existing improvements and ordering the assessment engineer to prepare and file a report for Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 25-XX, preliminary approving the Engineer's Report, fixing time and place for public hearing on the levy of the proposed assessment, and declaring its intention to levy and collect assessments within Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District.
G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:
Parcels annexed prior to Fiscal Year 2005/06 will be assessed $50 per equivalent drainage unit, which is the same as the previous year’s assessment. Lots and parcels annexed beginning Fiscal Year 2005/06 will be assessed $89.90 per equivalent drainage unit, which includes the 3.11% CPI adjustment. An estimated total of $2,793,313.64 will be assessed against the benefiting properties and will be used for maintenance expenses.
Background:
The City Council previously formed the Lancaster Drainage Benefit Assessment District, including the establishment of separate zones, and submitted the proposition to the eligible voters in each respective zone. The majority of voters approved the formation of the District, the separate zones, and the levying of the assessment. The first year's assessment was paid 2 0
6 2
by the developers of the property. Each year, thereafter, the City Council, after public notice and hearing, may determine and impose an annual assessment. Due to the cost and complexity of accounting for separate zones of benefit within the District, separate zone designations were eliminated in 1992 per Resolution 92-134, by City Council action.
The drainage improvements in the District have been completed and accepted by the City Council, and will be maintained with funds generated by the Drainage Benefit Assessment District.
Each lot or parcel within the District that was annexed prior to Fiscal Year 2005/06, as indicated on the diagram, will be assessed a unit assessment of $50 per equivalent drainage unit (EDU) for Fiscal Year 2025/26. The unit assessment for Fiscal Year 2025/26 is the same as Fiscal Year 2004- 2005, except for those parcels that were annexed during Fiscal Year 2005/06 or subsequent fiscal years, which will be assessed at a rate reflective of the February index increase consistent with the consumer price index for Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange Counties. Last year’s rate was $87.19.
For Fiscal Year 2025/26, the rate of assessment will be $89.90 per assessment unit, including the established CPI adjustment of 3.11% ($87.19 x 1.0311 = $89.90). The method of assessment is based on proportionate storm water runoff, thereby assessing developments with more impervious area a proportionately larger share of the total assessed costs. Refer to the attached Engineer's Report and Assessment for details.

To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: Larissa De La Cruz, Assistant City Manager
Sydney Yeseta, Manager - Economic Development
Subject:Real Estate Option Agreement with L Street Properties, LLC Recommendations:
1. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, with the concurrence of the City Attorney, to negotiate, finalize and execute the Real Estate Option Agreement and all related documents.
2. Appropriate $150,000.00 from General Fund to 101.24000.8010, as consideration for the Real Estate Option Agreement.
G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:
Appropriate $150,000.00 from General Fund to 101.24000.8010, as consideration for the Real Estate Option Agreement.
An annual payment of $256,680.00 will be required for each year the Option remains in effect.
The term of the agreement is three years, with the option of two one-year extensions, and all annual payments will be due on December 31 of each year. The initial annual payment will be prorated in the amount of $128,340.00 and will be due on December 31, 2025.
Background:
The Parkway Village Specific Plan area is a forward thinking plan that will guide the development of a vibrant new neighborhood unlike anything that exists in the Antelope Valley today.
Encompassing over 430 acres of land, Parkway Village is envisioned as a walkable, mixed use community that aims to bring together a dynamic blend of housing, shopping, health care, recreation, and public spaces right in the heart of the City.
In December 2021, then Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 3128-004-023 was a roughly 70 acre parcel owned by L Street Properties, LLC. At the time, the parcel was split into two, and the City purchased a 45.75 acre portion of the parcel, now known as APN 3128-004-903. The remaining 2 0
6 5
25.05 acre parcel, now known as APN 3128-004-025, was to be sold to a private developer as part of a larger project in the area. That developer is no longer interested in pursuing the project.
The proposed Real Estate Option Agreement (Agreement) would allow the City to secure strategic control over the additional 25.05 acre parcel (APN 3128-004-025). This property is a key site for the successful development of the Parkway Village Specific Plan. The Agreement would grant the City the exclusive right to purchase the property and the ability to assign the option to a private developer, when there is interest.
The Agreement positions the City to take advantage of a key acquisition opportunity by securing a fixed purchase price in an increasingly competitive real estate market.
Parkway Village has the ability to transform the future of Lancaster. As the future home of a brand new, state of the art aquatics center and various other uses, site control is crucial to bringing the Parkway Village concept to life.

7. Opening of Escrow. With respect to opening and implementation of Escrow, the following shall apply:
(a) Within three (3) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement (or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable) an escrow (“Escrow”) shall be opened at the Escrow Department 3 of First American Title (“Escrow Holder”), and instructions (“Escrow Instructions”), consistent with this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement shall be expeditiously prepared. (b) With respect to Escrow and Escrow Instructions, Optionor and Optionee agree that for all purposes the Escrow shall be deemed to be opened as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
(c) Escrow Holder is instructed to attach this Agreement (with the Purchase Agreement attached as Exhibit “B”) to Escrow Holder’s escrow instructions, and the parties shall execute such escrow instructions with this Agreement (and the Purchase Agreement) so attached. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and/or Escrow Instructions, the Purchase Agreement shall control. The parties shall also expeditiously execute and comply with any general instructions of Escrow Holder.
(d) If at any time during the pendency of Escrow, Escrow Holder reasonably requires further instructions respecting its duties and obligations, the parties shall expeditiously execute and deliver such instructions, provided that they do not change any of the substantive terms and provisions of this Agreement (or the Purchase Agreement).

The amount collected under any fire or other insurance policy may be applied by Beneficiary upon any indebtedness secured hereby and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or at option of Beneficiary the entire amount so collected or any part thereof may be released to Trustor. Such application or release shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. (3) To appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; and to pay all costs and expenses, including cost of evidence of title and attorney's fees in a reasonable sum, in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear, and in any suit brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed.

Should Trustor fail to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, then Beneficiary of Trustee, but without obligation so to do and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereof, may:
make or do the same is such manner and to such extent as either may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, Beneficiary or Trustee being authorized to enter upon said property for such purposes; appear in and defeat any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee; pay, purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of either appears to be prior or superior hereto; and, in exercising any such powers, pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay his reasonable fees. (5) To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended by Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from date of expenditure at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof, and to pay for any statement provided for by law in effect at the date hereof regarding the obligation secured hereby any amount demanded by the Beneficiary not to exceed the maximum allowed by law at the time when said statement is demanded.
B. It is mutually agreed:
(1) That any award of damages in connection with any condemnation for public use of or injury to said property or any part thereof is hereby assigned and shall be paid to Beneficiary who may apply or release such monies received by him in the same manner and with the same effect as above provided for disposition of proceeds of fire or other insurance. (2) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive his right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay.

The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof.

Said instrument must contain the name of the original Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed is recorded and the name and address of the new Trustee.
(8) That this Deed applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.

Reasons why project is exempt: The proposed action is the acquisition of approximately 48.3 acres of real property located near Avenue F-8 and 60th Street East, Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 3302-021-035, 3302-021-092, and 3302-020- 019, within the County of Los Angeles.

The City of Lancaster will make no decision to undertake further development until it has complied with CEQA and an overall site development plan has been approved by the County of Los Angeles. The Proposed Action is exempt from the CEQA as it involves a land acquisition that is contingent on future CEQA compliance per Section 15004 and the Class 1 Existing Facilities Categorical Exemption applies per Section 15301. No expansion to the facility is proposed. The facility is not located along a scenic highway or on a hazardous materials site and would not result in cumulative or significant impacts. Additionally, the facility is not considered to be a historic resource.

From:George N. Harris II, Senior Director/Treasurer – Admin Services Subject:Fiscal Year 2023/24 Financial Audit.
Recommendation:
Receive audited annual financial report for the City of Lancaster, CA, Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2024.
G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact on the City of Lancaster, CA.
Background:
The City of Lancaster has recently completed its annual financial audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. The audit was completed by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA). The audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These procedures include a review of internal controls, testing of transactions, and review of the financial statements for the auditors to express an opinion on the financial statements. Based on the audit, CLA expressed that the financial statements as of June 30, 2024, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of Lancaster.
In addition to the financial statements, the auditors issued an Audit Communication Letter, a Government Auditing Standards Letter, and an Appropriations Limit Letter. The Audit Communication Letter (attached) aims to communicate significant audit matters (if any) to the City Council. No significant audit matters were identified as a result of the audit procedures.
The Government Letter (attached) aims to communicate the auditor’s report on internal controls over financial reporting. The auditors found a Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Statement Close. A corrective action plan has been implemented to address the single area noted for improvement. As a result, the organization has been diligently working on improving policies and procedures related to year-end transactions, specifically for Land Held for Resale. Lastly, the attached Appropriations Limit Letter aims to communicate any exceptions to the Appropriations Limit. No exceptions were noted.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
We are pleased to submit for your consideration the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Lancaster, California, for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2024. This document has been prepared by the City's Finance Department, and responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with City staff.
To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, the City of Lancaster management has established a comprehensive internal control framework designed both to protect the government's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient, reliable information to prepare Lancaster's financial statements.
The cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits; therefore, Lancaster's internal controls have been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement. To the best of our knowledge and belief, management asserts that this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. This report includes the annual audit report of the City's independent auditors, Clifton Larson Allen LLP. All disclosures necessary to understand the City's financial activities have been included.
The data is designed to factually report the City's financial condition and to present the results of City operations as measured by activity among the various fund groups in an easily readable and understandable style. All disclosures necessary for the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial affairs have been included. Financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board.
The ACFR is presented in three sections: introduction, finances, and statistics. The introduction includes this transmittal letter, the City's organizational chart, and a list of principal officers.
The financial section includes the basic financial statements, including the management's discussion and analysis, the combined and individual fund statements and schedules, and the auditor's report on the financial statements and schedules. The statistical section includes selected multi-year financial and demographic information.
This ACFR incorporates all City funds, including the separate entities under the direction of the City Council. These separate entities include the Lancaster Successor Agency and California CHOICE. Additionally, the governmental funds section contains the component units of the Lancaster Housing Authority, Lancaster Community Services Foundation, Lancaster Public Financing Authority, and Lancaster Power Authority.
(i)
The City provides a broad range of services associated with the municipality. These services include highways, streets, drainage, sewer, electricity, and infrastructure construction and maintenance; planning and zoning; and parks, recreation, and cultural activities. Law enforcement, fire protection, the library, and animal control services are provided under contract with Los Angeles County. Water, sanitation, and schools are funded by special districts, not under City control.
City of Lancaster Profile
Lancaster is located north of Los Angeles County in the Antelope Valley, about seventy miles from downtown Los Angeles. The Antelope Valley is separated from the Los Angeles Basin by the Angeles National Forest. The City is bordered by several unincorporated Los Angeles County communities and the City of Palmdale. Lancaster is served by State Route 14 and by two major grade-separated east-west thoroughfares: Avenue H and Avenue L. With 94 square miles of residential communities, recreation and art venues, hi-tech industry, retail businesses, and open, natural space, Lancaster fosters an exciting atmosphere for living and a place of limitless opportunity for business.
The City was incorporated on November 22, 1977, and on April 13, 2010, voters approved Measure C, which granted the City its Charter City status. The Mayor and City Council are elected at large. Lancaster has grown significantly in size and diversity over the last 42 years.
According to the 2010 Census, Lancaster’s population was 156,633, an increase of nearly thirty-two percent over the 2000 Census total. The 2022 US Census showed the population remaining steady at 169,185.
As the first three- time recognized “Most Business -Friendly City” by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation, Lancaster understands that communities and families thrive when good jobs are created. Because many businesses can choose to locate those jobs anywhere, job creation depends on business-friendly practices. The City today attracts national and local companies from diverse fields of industry. Affordable housing prices attract families to our close-knit community.
In fact, even as Lancaster grows, we have retained a family -focused, hometown spirit.
Thousands of visitors come to Lancaster in the spring to enjoy our beautiful poppy and wildflower fields among the world -famous Joshua trees. The film industry has captured the essence of the Antelope Valley in multitudes of movies, television shows, and music videos shot here each year, bringing many additional visitors to patronize our hotels and retail establishments.

Strategic Initiatives
Public Safety Enhancements
The safety and well-being of our residents remain at the forefront of our priorities. Under the leadership of Lancaster’s first Chief of Police, we have made significant strides in enhancing our hybrid policing model and expanding our community policing efforts. This includes intensifying our focus on crime prevention and community engagement.
The Lancaster Police Department, in
collaboration with the LA Sheriff’s
Department, has implemented several new
initiatives designed to keep Lancaster a
secure place to live and work. Our new
police station is now fully operational,
providing a modern base for our expanded
force. We have also updated our fleet of
police vehicles and hired new officers to
strengthen our presence in the community.
In addition to these enhancements, our
department has embraced cutting -edge AI
technologies to bolster public safety. This includes the deployment of ShotSpotter technology, which accurately detects and locates gunfire incidents in real-time, dramatically improving our response capabilities. The Lancaster Police Department also utilizes drones and participates in advanced training simulations to prepare for a variety of operational scenarios. Furthermore, the Integrated Command Center (ICC) has become a critical asset, providing real-time data and communications support to enhance coordination and response effectiveness across the city.
These advancements support strategic operations such as traffic enforcement and strengthen our Business Watch and Neighborhood Watch programs. Lancaster is also looking at both technology and personnel enhancements to augment our mobility and response speed in critical situations and prioritize traffic enforcement to make our streets safer.
Hydrogen City Advancements
Lancaster proudly continues to lead in the hydrogen energy sector with the recent launch of FPH2, a pioneering initiative in partnership with the City of Industry. This collaboration highlights our commitment to expanding green hydrogen production and reinforces our position as a frontrunner in this critical industry. We are set to further enhance our capabilities this year by expanding partnerships and seeking additional funding opportunities. (iii)
Our ongoing collaboration with industry leaders, including the Pacific Hydrogen Alliance and ARCHES, underscores our dedication to clean energy innovation and sustainable
development. The launch of FPH2 marks a significant
milestone in our journey towards a sustainable future,
positioning Lancaster not just as a participant but as a leader in the global transition to cleaner energy sources.
This initiative not only advances our green energy goals but also promises to catalyze economic growth and job creation in the renewable energy sector within our community.
Economic and Community Development
Our local business sector is vibrant and dynamic, driving economic growth and enhancing housing affordability across Lancaster. We are committed to supporting this momentum through initiatives like the Open Rewards program, which incentivizes local shopping and bolsters small businesses by increasing consumer engagement and sales.
Our strategies are focused on nurturing local businesses, attracting new investments, and implementing housing initiatives tailored to meet the diverse needs of our residents. We are also prioritizing workforce development to equip our community with the necessary skills for emerging job opportunities, especially in our growing industrial sectors. This effort not only supports existing industrial businesses but also attracts new industries to our area, fostering long -term economic resilience and expansion. In addition, we are actively recruiting new businesses through business -friendly policies and reinvesting increased tax revenues directly into our community, driving meaningful progress for our businesses and residents alike.
Enhancing Quality of Life Through Technology and Innovation In FY25, we aim to leverage advanced technology to upgrade city services, enhance residents' quality of life, and establish Lancaster as a model for smart city initiatives. A key part of this effort is the continued development of our smart infrastructure and improving connectivity across the city.
Additionally, we are working to integrate Citibot, our innovative website chatbot, to enhance how residents interact with city services. By using Citibot on our City website, residents can *
(iv)
report issues, search for information, and receive instant responses, significantly improving the efficiency of service delivery and boosting community engagement. This tool is a vital component of our strategy to make Lancaster a smarter, more responsive City.
Public Engagement and Inclusivity
Reflecting on the successes of our community engagement and special events, we remain dedicated to creating a more connected and inclusive Lancaster. Our upcoming initiatives will expand community outreach, enhance local events that celebrate our city’s diversity, and provide ample opportunities for public participation in governance.
Significant renovations are underway at Samaritan's Purse Park to better serve our residents and enhance their recreational experiences. Additionally, we are finalizing plans for a state-of- the-art aquatics center that will provide a new hub for family and community activity.
We're also adding more programming and engagement
opportunities in our parks, ensuring that these spaces
continue to foster community bonds and support a vibrant public life in Lancaster.
Beautification and Clean-Up Projects
In our ongoing mission to enhance community pride and
maintain a welcoming cityscape, the City of Lancaster has expanded its beautification efforts through the Team Up Lancaster program. This initiative empowers residents, businesses, organizations, and schools to take an active role in keeping Lancaster clean and vibrant.
Team Up Lancaster offers multiple ways for the community to get involved —from adopting a roadway for scheduled clean -ups, to participating in one- day citywide events, to removing graffiti and illegal dumping. We provide the tools and support needed to ensure every group’s success so participants can not only make a visible impact on our neighborhoods but also gain recognition for their efforts, helping to strengthen community spirit and engagement.
With new partnerships forming between local schools and volunteer groups, we are instilling a sense of civic responsibility and pride in the next generation. Together, through shared commitment and action, we are creating cleaner streets, more beautiful neighborhoods, and a stronger Lancaster for all.
(v)
Youth Development Initiatives
Lancaster continues to invest in the future by supporting a wide range of youth development programs that empower, educate, and inspire. At the heart of these efforts is the IMPACT Initiative, a scholarship-based volunteer program that offers high school students valuable job training, leadership development, and community service opportunities. By completing 100 hours of volunteer work, participants not only earn
scholarships but also build lifelong skills and connections that support future success.
Additionally, the Lancaster Community Center (LCC) has
emerged as a dynamic hub for youth engagement and
personal growth. Offering programming for children as
young as six months through the teenage years, the
Center features enriching educational experiences such
as EdVentures Preschool, after-school tutoring, and
creative arts programs, teen game nights, and STREAM-based learning activities. It also provides open access to a computer lab, game room, and maker space, all designed to foster curiosity, innovation, and community connection.
The LCC goes beyond traditional recreation by providing exposure to music, technology, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship-empowering Lancaster's youth with the tools and resources to succeed in today's rapidly changing world.
As we continue to expand partnerships and elevate these programs, our focus remains clear:
to nurture confident, capable young residents who are ready to contribute to a bright future for Lancaster.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Lancaster
Lancaster, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lancaster (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the respective budgetary comparisons for the General Fund, the Lancaster Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund, and the Transportation Development Authority Special Revenue Fund 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 20 to the financial statements, the City made restatements to beginning fund balance/net position resulting from correction of an error and for changes within the financial reporting entity. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Lancaster
(2)
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.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and, therefore, is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the schedules of changes in the net pension liability and related ratios and the schedules of contributions for the CalPERS and PARS pensions plans, and the schedule of changes in net OPEB liability and related ratios, and the schedule of contributions - OPEB identified as required supplementary Information 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 fund 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 GAAS. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 22, 2025, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Ma
nagement’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Lancaster, we offer readers of the City of Lancaster's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Lancaster for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal.
Financial Highlights
The General Fund revenues were $113,733,198
The cost of the General Fund was $126,976,274
The General Fund reported revenues in deficit of expenditures of $13,243,076 For the General Fund, actual resources available for appropriation (revenue inflows and fund balance) was greater than final budget by $10,323,037; while actual appropriations (outflows) were less than the final budget by $32,477,878
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Lancaster's basic financial statements. The City of Lancaster's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government- wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements.
During 2024 California Choice Energy Authority (Energy Authority) transitioned into a separate reporting entity and is no longer considered a component unit of the City. Previously, the City of Lancaster’s City Council members served as the Board of Directors for the Energy Authority. Beginning in January 2024, each member agency of the Energy Authority appointed its own representative to serve on the Board this resulted in a decrease in net position of business-type activities by 1 million as of July 1, 2023. Additionally, the City determined it was appropriate to split apart the special revenue fund LA County Reimbursement into two reporting funds, Measure H and LA County Reimbursement which resulted in the fund balance increasing as of July 1, 2023 in the LA County Reimbursement Fund by approximately 217k.
The City recorded a correction of an error in fiscal year 2024 that resulted in a prior period adjustment. The City identified several land held for resale purchases, disposals, and contributions that occurred a prior period and should have been recorded previously that resulted in an increase to beginning net position in governmental activities by 2.2 million and a decrease in fund balance in the Lancaster Housing Authority .by 2 million.
Government-wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Lancaster's finances, in a manner similar to a private- sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City of Lancaster's assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, and deferred inflow of resources with the net difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Lancaster is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government'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 expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned, but unused, vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Lancaster that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (government activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Lancaster include General Government, (5)
P
ublic Safety, Community Development, Parks, Recreation and Arts, Development Services, and Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization. The business-type activities include the Lancaster Power Authority and Lancaster Choice Energy.
The government-wide financial statements include the blending of separate legal entities: Lancaster Housing Authority, Lancaster Community Services Foundation, Lancaster Financing Authority and Lancaster Power Authority. Although legally separate, these "component units" are important because the City of Lancaster is financially accountable for them. Separate statements are provided for the fiduciary activities of the Custodial Funds and Private Purpose Fund of the Lancaster Successor Agency.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Lancaster, like other local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Lancaster can be divided into three categories: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds and Fiduciary 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 statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of Governmental Funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for Governmental Funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions.
Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Lancaster maintains thirty-six 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 balances for the general fund, one debt service fund, and two special revenue funds, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other thirty-two governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these other governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City of Lancaster adopts an annual budget for its governmental funds. A fiscal year (FY) 23/24 budgetary comparison statement has been provided for each individual fund to demonstrate compliance with its budget appropriations.
Proprietary Funds. A Proprietary or Enterprise Fund is used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City of Lancaster uses enterprise funds to account for the activities of the Lancaster Power Authority, Lancaster Choice Energy and California Choice Energy Authority.
Effectively January 2024, the California Choice Energy Authority became a separate reporting entity and is no longer a component unit of the City. Previously, members of the City of Lancaster’s City Council served as the Board members for the Energy Authority. In January 2024, each Member of the Energy Authority appointed a representative to be a Board Member.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary funds financial statements provide separate information for the Lancaster Power Authority and Lancaster Choice Energy.
(6)
F
iduciary Funds. Fiduciary Funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary Funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of Lancaster's own programs.
Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statement.
Combining Statements. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental are presented immediately following the notes.

inancial Analysis of the City’s Funds
The City of Lancaster uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City of Lancaster's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Lancaster's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Lancaster’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $206,346,826. This is a decrease of $22,361,332 from last fiscal year mostly due to significant increase in capital outlay for projects during the year.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Lancaster. At the end of the current fiscal year, including transfers, the General Fund reported revenues and transfers-in in excess of expenditures and transfers-out resulting in a fund balance of $113,719,835. This is a decrease of $5,516,617 from last fiscal year in fund balance due to increases of transfers to internal service funds like Information Technology for needed upgrades.
The Transportation Development Authority Fund is a special revenue fund used for local street and road improvements, congestion relief and traffic safety. At the end of the current fiscal year, Transportation Development Authority Fund reported expenditures and transfers out in excess of revenues and transfer- in of $1,143,708.
The Lancaster Housing Authority Fund is a special revenue fund used to capture activities performed by the Lancaster Housing Authority. At the end of the current fiscal year, the Lancaster Housing Authority Fund reported revenues and transfer-in in excess expenditures and transfers-out of $43,480,972. The Lancaster Housing Authority had a FY24 beginning balance restatement of $2,026,084. This restatement is due to land held for resale error corrections from prior years. The services provided to the community by the Housing and Neighborhood revitalization staff will yield beautiful, family-friendly, new housing tracts in formerly blighted areas of the City.
The Lancaster Financing Authority is a debt service fund used to account for the various Lease Revenue Financings. At the end of the current fiscal year, Lancaster Financing Authority Fund reported revenues and transfers-in in excess of expenditures and transfer-out of $5,717,619.
Proprietary Funds. The City of Lancaster’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statement, but in more detail. The City of Lancaster has two funds of this type: Lancaster Power Authority and Lancaster Choice Energy.
The net position of the Lancaster Power Authority and Lancaster Choice Energy at the end of the year was $10,690,131 an increase over last year of $937,546. This is primarily due to higher power sales for Lancaster Choice Energy as a result of rate increases and high heat events during the summer months that increased energy consumption and sales.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The actual amount of expenditures for the General Fund at year-end were $32,477,878 less than the final budget to include transfers. Management works very hard to control expenditures, ensuring the city is fiscally sound. Managers citywide diligently tracked division and departmental budgets to ensure overruns did not occur. As a result of the decreased spending and increased revenues, the City was still able to see a net positive $42,800,915 in actuals over appropriations. (10)
Cap
ital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets. At the end of FY 2024, the City had $889.2 million invested in a broad range of capital assets, including land, buildings, infrastructure, equipment, and intangible assets net of accumulated depreciation.
The City’s Capital Improvement Plan requested $29 million in new capital projects through fiscal year 2023- 24 on new projects. Funding will come from current fund balances and projected revenues. The most significant projects include Mariposa Park Improvements, Ave J/SR 138 Interchange, the acquisition and improvement of a new Public Safety Building among other citywide street improvements.
Capital Assets
(in Thousands)
Note 6 provides a detailed analysis of the Capital Assets.
Long-term Debt . At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Lancaster’s total long-term debt decreased by $4 Million from the prior year. As of June 30, 2024, the City of Lancaster had accrued employee benefits outstanding of $4,016,802.
The City’s AA credit rating remained unchanged for FY 23/24.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
On June 25, 2024, the City Council adopted and approved the budget for FY 24/25 along with the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. Appropriations (including transfers) of $211.7 million were adopted for the 24/25 fiscal year. Adequate resources are available to fund the proposed expenditures. Consistent with the City’s policy, General Fund operating revenues fully cover on-going operating expenses with Fund Balance funding one-time expenses. The ending General Fund balance exceeds the City’s policy minimum of 35% of operating expenditures. This is split into Working Capital, Emergency Operational, Emergency Response, and Business Opportunity/Investment reserves.
Budgetary revenue estimates have been prepared using a variety of methods. Certain revenue sources, such as federal and state grants and transportation funds are relatively fixed and known. Others, such as sales tax and development related revenues are more difficult to estimate. In those cases, a cautiously optimistic economic outlook has been assumed.

urrent economic conditions allow the City to maintain core services, and to maintain current levels of public safety. However, prudent long-term fiscal planning dictates that we remain conservative, focus on the highest priorities, and fund only those enhancements we can sustain financially.
The two largest sources of revenue for the City’s Funds are property tax and sales tax. Taxes overall represent
25.0% of total revenues for the upcoming fiscal year. The revenue and expenditure projections for development related activity are based upon local and regional economic forecasts and trends. Overall, the budget is based on the information supplied by outside agencies, such as the State Department of Finance, California Department of Tax & Fee Administration, and the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office, to predict revenues.
The revenue and expenditure projections are intended to serve as a guide in planning for the future.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the City of Lancaster, California (the City), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described below.
A. Description of the Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated on November 22, 1977, under the laws of the state of California. The City is a charter city administered under a council/manager form of government. The accompanying financial statements present the City of Lancaster and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The City is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the City appoints a voting majority of that organization’s governing body and the City is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for that organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. The City is also considered to be financially accountable for an organization if that organization is fiscally dependent (i.e., it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval from the City). In certain cases, other organizations are included as component units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that their exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
The management of the primary government has operational responsibility for each of the component units, and/or receives financial benefits from each component unit, being blended within the financial reporting entity of the City of Lancaster. Component units include the Lancaster Housing Authority, the Lancaster Community Services Foundation, the Lancaster Financing Authority, and the Lancaster Power Authority.
The California Choice Energy Authority (the Energy Authority) was formed to help cities in the Southern California Edison territory participate in community choice aggregation without having to sacrifice control often associated with joint power authorities or taking on the significant liability of a single entity community choice aggregation. Effectively January 2024, the Energy Authority became a separate reporting entity and is no longer a component unit of the City. Previously, members of the City of Lancaster’s City Council served as the Board members for the Energy Authority. In January 2024, each Member of the Energy Authority appointed a representative to be a Board Member.
A brief description of each blended component unit follows:
The Lancaster Housing Authority (the Housing Authority) was formed for the purpose of providing affordable, decent housing for lower income residents of the City. The Housing Authority assumed responsibilities for the prior low/moderate Housing Fund.
Separate financial statements are not available for the Housing Authority.

JUNE 30, 2024

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) A. Description of the Reporting Entity (Continued)
The Lancaster Community Services Foundation (the Foundation) was formed to provide certain community services to the residents of the City. Separate financial statements are not available for the Foundation.
The Lancaster Financing Authority Debt Service Fund (the Financing Authority) was formed for the purpose to provide, through the issuance of debt, financing necessary for various capital improvements. Separate financial statements are not available for the Financing Authority.
The Lancaster Power Authority (the Power Authority) was formed to own and operate a municipal gas and electric utility, for the benefit of the residents of the City and customers, businesses, and property owners in the City. Separate financial statements are not available for the Power Authority.
B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
Government-Wide Financial Statements
Fund Financial Statements
Notes to the 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 (including its blended component units). 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.
Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation.
Government-wide financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all (both current and long-term) economic resources and obligations of the reporting government are reported in the government-wide financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements.

JUNE 30, 2024
(33)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) Government-Wide Financial Statements (Continued)
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.
Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, (2) operating grants and contributions, and (3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function. Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net cost of each program. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the government-wide financial statements, rather than as another financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as an expenditure.
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.
Fund financial statements for the primary government’s governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented after the government-wide financial statements. These statements display information about the major funds individually and other governmental funds in the aggregate for governmental funds. Fiduciary statements, even though excluded from the government-wide financial statements, represent a private-purpose trust fund and custodial funds.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) 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 as net current assets. 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.
Revenue recognition is subject to the measurable and available criteria for the governmental funds in the fund financial statements. Significant revenues subject to the criteria include taxes, licenses and permits, and intergovernmental revenues. Exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period in which they are earned (i.e., the related goods or services are provided).
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 (net current assets) is considered to be a measure of available spendable resources. Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of available spendable resources during a period.
Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on their balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus. The principal portion of advances to other funds reported in the general fund financial statements is classified as nonspendable fund balance to indicate that it is not available for appropriation and is not an expendable available financial resource.
Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, that is, when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. “Measurable” means that the amount of the transaction can be determined, and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period.
Accrued revenues include property taxes received within 60 days after year-end, taxpayer-assessed taxes such as sales taxes, and earnings on investments. Grant funds earned but not received are recorded as a receivable, and grant funds received before the revenue recognition criteria have been met are reported as unearned revenues.
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.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds
The City’s enterprise funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial statements, the proprietary funds and fiduciary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the fund financial statements, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. This means that all assets, deferred outflows of resources, all liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their statements of net position.
Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.
Proprietary funds operating revenue, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activities of the funds. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values.
Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies, taxes, and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities. Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the enterprise funds financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the enterprise fund financial statements, rather than as another financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the enterprise fund are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as an expenditure.
The City’s fiduciary funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting. Because these funds are not available for use by the City, fiduciary funds are not included in the governmental-wide statements.
C. Fund Classifications
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – This is the primary operating fund of the City. It accounts for all unrestricted resources, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Lancaster Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund – This fund is used to account for the purpose of providing affordable, decent housing for lower income residents of the City. Also, to account for the housing assets and functions previously performed by the former redevelopment agency and is funded by revenues generated by the housing assets.
Transportation Development Authority Special Revenue Fund – This fund is used to account for restricted funds associated with the Transportation Development Act.
The funding is provided to support transportation planning and mass transportation purposes.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) D. Deposits and Investments
The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The City pools idle cash from all funds for the purpose of increasing income through investment activities.
Investments for the City, as well as for its component units, are reported at fair value which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The State Treasurer’s Investment Pool operates in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported at an amount based upon the City’s prorated share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio).
E. Interfund Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the noncurrent portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.”
F. Property Taxes
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied providing they become available. Available means when due, or past due, and receivable within the current period and collected within the current period or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter (not to exceed 60 days) to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The County of Los Angeles collects property taxes for the City. Tax liens attach annually as of 12:01 a.m. on the first day in January preceding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Taxes are levied on both real and personal property as it exists on that date. 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 the first of March each year and are delinquent on August 31.
G. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories of materials and supplies are carried at cost on a moving average basis.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
The consumption method of accounting is used for both inventories and prepaid items.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) H. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of debt issues, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets in the financial statements because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants.
I. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the government-wide financial statements. The government defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 or plant and infrastructure capital projects that are in excess of $125,000 (amounts not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Structures and Improvements 40 Years
Furniture and Equipment 7 to 10 Years
Infrastructure 50 Years
Right-to-use lease assets are initially measured at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized in a systematic and rational manner over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset.
J. Subscription-Based Technology Arrangements (SBITA)
SBITA assets are initially measured as the sum of the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscription term, payments associated with the SBITA contract made to the SBITA vendor at the commencement of the subscription term, when applicable, and capitalizable implementation costs, less any SBITA vendor incentives received from the SBITA vendor at the commencement of the SBITA term.
SBITA assets are amortized in a systematic and rational manner over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT assets.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) K. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The category of deferred outflow of resources reported in the statement of net position is related to debt refunding, pensions, and other postemployment benefits. The deferred charge on refunding resulted from the difference between the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. Deferred outflows on pension and other postemployment benefits are more fully discussed in Notes 9 and 10.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position and the governmental funds balance sheet includes a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. In the government-wide financial statements, the City’s deferred inflows of resources reported on the statement of net position relate to pension and other postemployment benefits, which are more fully discussed in Notes 9 and 10. The statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet also reports a deferred inflow of resources related to leases. The deferred gain on refunding resulted from the difference between the carrying value of the refunded debt and its reacquisition price is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, deferred inflows of resources also include revenues not collected within the availability period after the fiscal year-end. The City has reported deferred inflows of resources related to unavailable revenues. These amounts are deferred and will be recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that amounts become available. Additionally, donated capital assets that are not intended for use but are held for sale should be reported as assets on the governmental fund balance sheet and as a deferred inflow of resources equal to their fair value.
L. Net Position Flow Assumptions
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.

The Lancaster Housing Authority acquired property via the Neighborhood Stabilization Program to reduce blight and provide affordable housing to its citizens. These parcels are shown in the Lancaster Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund and the Housing and Community Development Special Revenue Fund.
All land held for resale is recorded at lower of cost or market value.
N. Compensated Absences
It is the government’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. Vacation pay is payable to employees at the time a vacation is taken or upon termination of employment. Additionally, employees may elect to cash in accrued vacation in excess of 80 hours once per fiscal year up to a maximum of 40 hours. Vacation accruals are based on years of service, with the maximum balance of unused accruals set at 362 hours after 10 years of service.
Sick leave is payable when an employee is unable to work because of illness. Accrued sick leave may be accumulated without limit. Employees resigning in good standing from City service shall receive payment up to a maximum of 50% of unused sick leave, depending on years of service. The maximum hours payable is set at 1,000 after 15 years of service.
All vacation and sick leave pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
The liability is generally liquidated by the general fund.
O. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the governmental activities statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts during the current period as other financing sources and uses, respectively.
The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) P. Fund Balance Classification
In the fund financial statements, fund balances are classified as follows:
Nonspendable includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form, or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The “not in spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash (for example, inventories and prepaid amounts). In the general fund only, it also includes the long-term portion of notes and loan’s receivable with no constraints on how the eventual proceeds can be spent.
Restricted includes amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments, or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest authority, City Council. The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution.
City Council approved a revised Reserve Policy, establishing a General Fund Reserve of 40%, a General Liability Fund Reserve equal to the amount identified in an annual actuarial that represents the net annual liability after annual budgeted program resources, a Fleet Maintenance reserve of 20%, and an Information Technology reserve of 20%. The contingency reserves were established to help sustain City operations during emergencies and provide flexibility to respond to unexpected fiscal impacts throughout the fiscal year.
Assigned includes amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. The City Manager and/or Finance Director is authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose, which was established by the governing body in Resolution 11-35.
Unassigned includes the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes. The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other funds, deficit balance amounts resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts have been restricted, committed, or assigned are classified as unassigned.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) P. Fund Balance Classification (Continued)
An individual governmental fund could include nonspendable resources and amounts that are restricted or unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) or any combination of those classifications. Restricted amounts are to be considered spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available and committed, assigned, then unassigned amounts are considered to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications can be used.
Q. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans and the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) plan (collectively, the Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS and PARS. 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.
R. Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability (asset) and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s OPEB plan and additions to/deductions from the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plan. For this purpose, the City’s OPEB plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
S. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred inflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred outflows of resources and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
General Budget Policies
The City Council approves each year’s budget submitted by the City Manager prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year. Public hearings are conducted prior to its adoption by the Council. Supplemental appropriations, where required during the period, are also approved by the Council. Intradepartmental budget changes are approved by the City Manager or designee. Expenditures may not exceed appropriations at the function level. At fiscal year-end, all unencumbered operating budget appropriations lapse with the exception of those for unfinished capital projects, special projects, and grant programs. For these specific projects and programs, unused appropriations at the end of the fiscal year are carried forward and become part of the next year’s budget. During the year, several supplementary appropriations were necessary.
Encumbrances
Encumbrances are estimations of costs related to unperformed contracts for goods and services. These commitments are recorded for budgetary control purposes in the general, special revenue, and similar governmental funds. Encumbrances are included in the general fund’s assigned fund balance under capital projects for $2,357,535. They represent the estimated amount of the expenditure ultimately to result if unperformed contracts in process at year-end are completed. They do not constitute expenditures or estimated liabilities.
Budget Basis of Accounting
Budgets for all governmental funds, except the Community Services Foundation, Zero-Net Energy Solar Mitigation In Lieu Special Revenue Fund, Mariposa Lily Special Revenue Fund, Proposition 1B Special Revenue Fund, AVAQMD Special Revenue Fund, Lancaster Financing Authority Debt Service Fund, and the Capital Projects Fund, which are budgeted on a project basis, are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Deposits
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure a City’s deposits by pledging government securities with a value of 110% of a City’s deposits. California law also follows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of a City’s total deposits. The City Treasurer may waive the collateral requirement for deposits, which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 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 is considered to be held for, and in the name of, the local governmental agency. As of June 30, 2024, all the City’s deposits with financial institutions were covered by federal depository insurance limits or were held in collateralized accounts.
Under provision of the City’s investment policy, and in accordance with the California Government Code, the following investments are authorized:
United States Treasury Securities
United States Government Sponsored Agency Securities
Certificates of Deposit
Medium-Term Notes
Prime Commercial Paper
Banker’s Acceptances
Repurchase Agreements
Local Agency Investment Fund (State Pool)

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 or the City’s investment policy.
Investments in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the state of California. LAIF is overseen by the Local Agency Investment Advisory Board, which consists of five members, in accordance with state statute. The State Treasurer’s Office audits the fund annually. The fair value of the position in the investment pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.

The fair value of the position in the investment pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.
Credit Risk
The City’s investment policy limits investments in medium-term notes (MTNs) and municipal bonds to those rated AA- or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
At June 30, 2024, the City invested in various MTNs and municipal bonds which were rated AA- or better by Standard & Poor’s (S&P). At June 30, 2024, the City’s investments with US Government Sponsored Agency Securities were rated AA+ and money market mutual funds were rated AAA by S&P. California CLASS PRIME was rated AAAm by S&P. Investments in U.S. government securities are not considered to have credit risk and, therefore, their credit quality is not disclosed.
As of June 30, 2024, the City’s investment in LAIF is unrated. The City has amounts invested in investment agreements held with fiscal agents and invested under the direction of the City, which are unrated.
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. As of June 30, 2024, none of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s investment policy imposes restrictions on the maximum percentage it can invest in a single type of investment. These limitations are 25% of the City’s invested funds for nonnegotiable certificates of deposit, 15% of the City’s invested funds for banker acceptances with no more than 2% in any one issuer, 25% of the City’s invested funds for commercial paper with no more than 5% in any one issuer, 30% of the City’s invested funds for medium-term notes with no more than 5% in any one issuer, and 20% of the City’s invested funds for money market funds with no more than 10% in any one issuer. If the City has invested more than 5% of its total investments in any one issuer then it is exposed to credit risk.
As of June 30, 2024, none of the City’s investments had issuers exceeding 5% of the City investment pool.

The City’s investment policy states that investments in United Stated Treasury Securities and securities for which the full-faith and credit of the United States is pledged should have a maturity no longer than five years. Reserve funds relating to the bond issues may be invested in securities for more than five years if the maturity of such investments is made to coincide as nearly as practicable with the expected use of the funds.

Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The hierarchy is based on the relative inputs used to measure the fair value of the investments. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements), inputs are quoted price of similar assets in active markets (Level 2 measurements), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
