28 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued C. Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows, Net Position, or Equity (Continued) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position and balance sheet of governmental funds will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The City has three types of items that qualify for reporting in this category. The first item is the deferred gain on debt refunding which is reported in the fiduciary funds statement of net position. A deferred gain on debt refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. The second item is the deferred assets of the City’s pension plans investments as determined by California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) in accordance with GASB Statement No. 68, which is reported in the government-wide statement of net position and the proprietary fund statement of net position. The third item is the deferred inflows/outflows associated with the City’s OPEB plan in accordance with GASB Statement No. 75, which is reported in the government-wide statement of net position. Please see the accompanying Notes 10 and 12 to the financial statements for more details on these amounts.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and balance sheet of governmental funds will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has several items that meet the criterion for this category - property taxes receivable, leases, and pension and OPEB deferrals.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, it is not enough that revenue has been earned if it is to be recognized as revenue of the current period. Revenue must also be susceptible to accrual; it must be both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period. If assets are recognized in connection with a transaction, but those assets are not yet available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period, then the assets must be offset by a corresponding deferred inflow of resources. This type of deferred inflow is unique to governmental funds, since it is tied to the modified accrual basis of accounting, which is used only in connection with governmental funds.
Compensated Absences
Accumulated vested unpaid employee vacation and compensatory time-off benefits are recognized as liabilities of the City. Governmental funds recognize the current portion of the liabilities at fiscal year-end, while the noncurrent portion of these liabilities is recognized in the general long-term debt account group. Proprietary funds record the full liability as the vested benefits to the employees accrue.
Sick leave benefits are accumulated without limit for each employee. The employees do not gain a vested right to accumulated sick leave. Accumulated employee sick leave benefits are not recognized as liabilities of the City since payment of such benefits is not probable. Therefore, sick leave benefits are recorded as expenditures in the period that the sick leave is taken.

29 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued C. Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows, Net Position, or Equity (Continued) Long-Term Debt
Government-Wide Financial Statements – Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate activities.
Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable is reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs, except any portion related to prepaid insurance costs, are recognized as an expense in the period incurred.
Fund Financial Statements – The governmental fund financial statements do not present long-term debt. As such, long-term debt is shown in the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position.
Bond premiums and discounts are recognized during the current period as other financing sources or uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Bond proceeds are reported as other financing sources.
Proprietary Fund and Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements use the same principles as those used in the GovernmentWide Financial Statements.
Self-Insurance
The City is a member of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA). The purpose of this group is to minimize liability and workers’ compensation expenses for cities in the central San Joaquin Valley.
CSJVRMA provides statutory coverage for the City's workers' compensation risks. The City retains liability risks up to $25,000 and shares risk with the pool to $10,000.
Net Position
GASB Statement No. 63 requires that the difference between assets added to the deferred outflows of resources and liabilities added to the deferred inflows of resources be reported as net position. Net position is classified as either net investment in capital assets, restricted, or unrestricted.
In the government-wide financial statements, proprietary fund financial statements, and fiduciary fund financial statements, net position is reported in three categories: net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted.
Net position that is net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and reduced by the outstanding principal of related debt. Restricted net position represents the portion of net position that has external constraints placed on it by parties outside of the City, such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments, or through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted net position consists of net position that does not meet the definition of net investment in capital assets or restricted net position.

30 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued C. Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows, Net Position, or Equity (Continued) Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on how specific amounts can be spent.
Nonspendable - Amounts that are not in spendable form (such as inventory) or are required either legally or contractually to be maintained intact.
Restricted - Amounts with constraints placed on their use that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or (b) imposed by law through constitutional or enabling legislation.
Committed - Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City itself, using the City’s highest level of decisionmaking authority (the City Council). To be reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City takes the same highest level action to remove or change the constraint. The underlying action that imposed the limitation needs to occur no later than the close of the reporting period.
Assigned - Amounts the City intends to use for a specific purpose. Intent can be expressed by the City at either the highest level of decision-making authority or by an official or body to which the City delegates the authority. This is also the classification for residual funds in the City’s special revenue funds.
Unassigned - The residual classification for the City’s General Fund that includes amounts not contained in the other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification is used only if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes.
The City establishes and modifies or rescinds fund balance commitments by passage of an ordinance or policy. This is typically done through adoption and amendment of the budget. A fund balance commitment is further indicated in the budget as a designation or commitment of the fund, such as approved construction contracts. Assigned fund balance is established by the City through adoption or amendment of the budget or future year budget plan as intended for a specific purpose.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, followed by the unrestricted committed, assigned, and unassigned resources as they are needed.
The City believes that sound financial management principles require that sufficient funds be retained by the City to provide a stable financial base at all times. To retain this stable financial base, the City needs to maintain unrestricted fund balance in its funds sufficient to fund cash flows of the City and to provide financial reserves for unanticipated expenditures and/or revenue shortfalls of an emergency nature. Committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances are considered unrestricted.
The City strives to achieve and maintain unrestricted fund balance in the General Fund sufficient to cover approximately 6 months of working capital at the close of each fiscal year, which exceeds the recommended level (approximately 60 days working capital) promulgated by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).
However, as of June 30, 2022, the City had a deficit fund balance in its General Fund.

31 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued C. Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows, Net Position, or Equity (Continued) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Basic Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In addition, estimates affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Governmental Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 87 “Leases” GASB issued Statement No. 87, “Leases” to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement increases the usefulness of governments’ financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease asset and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities. The City implemented GASB No. 87 “Leases” as of July 1, 2021, resulting in the recognition of a lease receivable of $1,162,460, a deferred inflow lease receivable of $1,162,460, right to use leased assets of $704,343, and a lease liability of $704,343. There was no impact upon net position. The City has elected not to restate the prior period financial statements.
Future Accounting Pronouncements
The City will implement the following GASB pronouncements in future fiscal years:
The provisions of Statement Number 94 “Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements” are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022.
The provisions of Statement Number 96 “Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements” are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022.
The provisions of Statement Number 99 “Omnibus 2022” are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2023.
The provisions of Statement Number 100 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 62” are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2023.
The provisions of Statement No. 101 “Compensated Absences” are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023.

32 2. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Budgetary Control and Accounting
The City Council is required to adopt an annual budget resolution by July 1st of each fiscal year for the General Fund, special revenue, capital projects, debt service, and enterprise funds. These budgets are adopted and presented for reporting purposes on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e. the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the department level. The City Council made several supplemental budgetary appropriations throughout the fiscal year.
Budgeted appropriations for various governmental funds become effective each July 1. The City Council may amend the budget during the fiscal year. Appropriations generally lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent they have not been expended or encumbered.
Excess Expenditures over Appropriations
Excess of expenditures over appropriations in individual funds are as follows:
Deficit Fund Balances
The General Fund has a deficit fund balance of $1,306,438, the City’s plan to address the deficit is described in Note
17. The State parks special revenue fund has a deficit fund balance of $228,919 that should be alleviated as reimbursement received from the State.

Cash and investments as of June 30, 2022 are classified in the accompanying financial statements as follows:
Cash and investments as of June 30, 2022 consist of the following:
The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for the City by the California Government Code (or the City’s investment policy, where more restrictive). The table also identifies certain provisions of the California Government Code (or the City’s investment policy, where more restrictive) that address interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk. This table does not address investments of debt proceeds held by bond trustee that are governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the City, rather than the general provisions of the California government Code or the City’s investment policy.
A. Investments Authorized by the California Government Code and the City’s Investment Policy The investment policy allows for the above investments which have equal safety and liquidity as all other allowed investments. Maturity depends on the cash needs of the City.

B. Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
Investment of debt proceeds held by bond trustees are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy. The table below identifies the Investment types that are authorized for investments held by bond trustee. The table also identifies certain provisions of these debt agreements that address interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk.
C. Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity:

D. Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations The City has no investments (including investments held by bond trustees) that are highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations (to a greater degree than already indicated in the information provided above).
E. Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of fiscal year end for each investment type.
F. Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer. There are no investments in any one issuer (other than U.S. Treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment pools) that represent 5% or more of total City investments. Since the City pooled all of its investments, there were no investments in any one issuer that represented 5% or more of total investments by reporting unit.
G. Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g. broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits; the California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the government unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure the City’s deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
As of June 30, 2022, all of the City’s deposits with financial institutions were covered by federal depository insurance limits or were held in collateralized accounts.

H. Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
I. Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1: Investments reflect prices quoted in active markets; Level 2: Investments reflect prices that are based on a similar observable asset either directly or indirectly, which may include inputs in markets that are not considered active; and, Level 3: Investments reflect prices based upon unobservable sources.
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2022:
The City also had investments in LAIF, however, these investments are not required to be measured under Level 1, 2, or 3.

C. Advances To/ From Other Funds
As of June 30, 2022, the City had the following advances to/from other funds.
On August 26, 2021, the State Auditor issued Report 2020-804 regarding the City of Lindsay which was conducted as part of the high-risk local government agency audit program. The report recommends that by February 2022, the City should address the $6.3 million transferred to its general fund, re-establish the loans to its restricted funds, and develop and implement a plan to fully repay those funds.
In response to the State Audit Report and in accordance with the City of Lindsay Corrective Action Plan, City staff have prepared a Formal Repayment Plan for consideration of the Lindsay City Council. This plan will record the advances to and from previously vacated at their originally vacated amounts. While the total amount remains unchanged, the amortization terms and schedules have been modified to allow the City to begin making annual payments based on priority beginning in Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
The City Council adopted Resolution 22-09 to formalize the advances and repayment schedules for funds borrowed prior to 2017.
The advances bear no interest and are expected to be repaid in the following priority: 1) Water Fund 2) Sewer Fund 3) Street Improvement Fund 4) Refuse Fund 5) Wastewater Capital Reserve Fund (included with Sewer Fund in the financial statements) 6) Storm Drain Fund (included with Sewer Fund in the financial statements) 7) Parks Fund and 8) Curb and Gutter Fund.

A. Notes Receivable
At June 30, 2022, the City’s loans and notes receivable consisted of the following:
B. Loans Assigned to State of California Department of Housing and Community Development The City previously used Housing and Community Development Block Grant funds to provide housing rehabilitation loans and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) grant funds to provide first- time homebuyer assistance loans and housing rehabilitation loans to eligible applicants. Rehabilitation loans are used to improve, rehabilitate, or replace residences. All loans were made to low and moderate income persons or landlords benefiting these same persons. As part of a settlement agreement with the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the outstanding balances of these loans were assigned to HCD, and the City is responsible for collecting and distributing loan repayments to HCD.
The City accounts for these loans in the custodial fund. This fund’s primary assets consist of notes receivable from participants, which originated from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds.
C. Related Party Transactions
The City has entered into various loan agreements with City employees and relatives of City employees, under its First-Time Homebuyer and Micro–Loan Programs. The various loan types provided included Deferred Payment Loans (DPL), Deferred No Interest Loans (DNIL), No Interest Loans (NIL), and Below Market Interest Rate Loans (BMIR). All of the loan types mentioned are allowed under the programs. However, as discussed in Note 8(A), some of the loans were not compliant with the programs requirements, the loans are now assigned to HCD.

Caltrans Settlement Liability
Caltrans provides state funding for construction projects. The City did multiple projects in the 2000’s. Caltrans alleged the City did not properly account for Downtown project and the Safe Routes to School project, and it demanded repayment of approximately $1,000,000. On October 7, 2019, the City reached a settlement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the total amount of $349,032 for repayment of improperly accounted for funds. Pursuant to the settlement, the City agreed to a 7-year repayment plan based on the apportionment of fuel tax revenues from the State to the City, with annual payments calculated to approximately 10 percent of those fuel tax apportionments. As of June 30, 2022, the balance of the Caltrans settlement liability was $199,449.
The annual payment requirements for the agreement are as follows:
HCD Settlement Liability
The City provides home and business loans using grant funds from the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) department, specifically Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and HOME Program grant funds through the California Housing and Community Development Department, a sub-division of HUD. Based on monitoring visits conducted and previous audits, the City had three distinct issues related to grant funds from HUD via HCD.
These matters are discussed below.
Issue #1 Borrowing of grant funds for the City’s general operations: Between 2008 and 2018, the City experienced annual deficits in its General Fund, McDermont Sports Complex Fund, and the Wellness Center Fund.
In order to fund the overspending, the City borrowed grant funds from HCD programs through due to/from transactions at the end of each fiscal year. This was common practice between fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2009, but the transactions were not reversed, compounding and confusing the actual balances. In fiscal year 2015, the City reversed the transactions and established temporary transactions. These transactions were reversed each fiscal year, but the funds were not repaid. As a result, the cash balances in the General Fund, McDermont Sports Complex Fund, and the Wellness Center Fund continued to increase in the negative direction.

HCD Settlement Liability (Continued)
Issue #2 Home Loans to City employees and relatives of employees: Prior to May 2011, the City did not have a formal loan committee to review home and business loans thru the HCD program funding. During the administration that ended November 9, 2010, the City authorized home loans to some City employees and relatives of employees who did not qualify for the program. The following administration requested the District Attorney investigate to determine if there was criminal wrongdoing. The District Attorney found no criminal wrongdoing. The City then (1) created a loan committee to review each loan prior to funding and (2) contracted with Self Help Enterprises to manage the loan application process to ensure full transparency and program compliance. As a result, there have been no new issues. The City complies with all new related-party transactions. The City considers this matter to no longer be an issue. The reference to this past issue is contained in this disclosure note to give context to the reader.
Issue #3 Freeze Relief Funds: In 2005, the City experienced a devastating freeze, which damaged the orange crops that are vital to the economy. HCD sent the City freeze relief funds, which the City used to put people to work with permission from HCD. After the City spent the money as approved by HCD, HCD reversed its permission and demanded the City repay $900,000 in the freeze relief funds. Due to a fire that destroyed important records associated with the use of the freeze relief funds and turnover at HCD, the City does not have a complete record to demonstrate its compliance with HCD authorized uses.
On September 8, 2020, the City reached a settlement with the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) in the total amount of $3,790,786 for repayment of improperly accounted for funds.
Significant terms and conditions of the agreement are as follows:
- The City is required to make an initial payment of $10,000 on the date of the agreement, and will make annual payments of $89,360 until the balance outstanding on the agreement equals $1,100,000. - Interest on the outstanding balance will accrue at an annual rate of 9%. - If all payments are made timely, the outstanding balance of $1,100,000 and any accrued interest will be forgiven by HCD.
- In breach of contract (either due to failure to make payments or other), the City and HCD will meet and confer to resolve the breach, otherwise HCD will seek judicial enforcement of the agreement. - All unspent program funds held as cash as of the date of the agreement will be remitted to HCD. - Any program income received subsequent to the date of the agreement will be remitted to HCD. - Any equipment acquired with program funds will be returned to HCD. - Loans receivable related to the programs will be assigned to HCD. - The City is temporarily barred from participating in any HCD programs for a period of five years.
As of June 30, 2022, the balance of the HCD settlement liability was $3,691,426. $1,100,000 is forgivable contingent on timely payments. Annual interest accrued on outstanding principal is forgivable.

The future minimum lease obligations and the net present value of these minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2022, were as follows:
Remediation Liability
The City’s Sewer Fund is responsible for the contamination of two water basins at the City’s sewer plant. The preliminary cost of the clean-up referred to as the Lindsay Olive Growers (LOG) Pond Closure liability is estimated at $2,570,981. This amount has been accrued as of June 30, 2022. However, additional amounts might be needed in the future in order to clean up the site, and the issue will be reviewed in fiscal year 2022-23 to ascertain if any additional amounts should be accrued.

Employees accrue vacation, annual leave, earned time off, and holiday leave up to certain maximums, based on the employee’s bargaining unit.
The City accrues the liability for compensated leave as it is earned by employees. The amount of compensated leave payable outstanding was $394,176 as of June 30, 2022.
The amount due within one year of $220,348 for Governmental Activities and $60,501 for Business-Type Activities represents the estimated amount for anticipated retirees. The City typically uses the General Fund to liquidate the liability for compensated absences for governmental funds.
10. CITY EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT PLAN
Plan Description
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost- Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan) administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). The Plan consists of individual rate plans (benefit tiers) within a safety risk pool (police and fire) and a miscellaneous risk pool (all other). Plan assets may be used to pay benefits for any employer rate plan of the safety and miscellaneous risk pools. Accordingly, rate plans within the safety or miscellaneous pools are not separate plans under GASB Statement No. 68. Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the miscellaneous or safety risk pools. The City sponsors four rate plans (two miscellaneous and two safety). Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions, and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS’ website.
Benefit Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employee’s Retirement Law.

Benefit Provided (Continued)
The rate plan provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2022 are summarized as follows:
Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are to be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for the Plan is determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
Miscellaneous and safety Plan employees agreed to pay an additional three and five percentage points, respectively, towards the City’s contributions to the Plan. The City has not updated its contract with CalPERS to reflect these changes, hence these payments are considered to be employer contributions.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions As of June 30, 2022, the City reported net pension liabilities for its proportionate shares of the net pension liability of the Plan as follows:
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the total net pension liability of the Plan. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2021, and the total pension liability for the Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by actuarial valuations as of June 30, 2020 rolled forward to June 30, 2021 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was based on the City’s plan liability and asset-related information where available, and proportional allocations of individual plan amounts as of the valuation date where not available. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Plan as of June 30, 2020 and 2021 were as follows:
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City recognized pension expense of $1,782,134. At June 30, 2022, the City reported deferred outflow of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pension from the following sources:

Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and will be recognized as pension expense as follows:
Actuarial Assumptions - The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2020 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
(1) Depending on age, service and type of employment
(2) Net of pension plan investment expenses, including inflation All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the fiscal years 1997 to 2015, including updates to salary increase, mortality, and retirement rates. The experience study report can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

56 10. CITY EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT PLAN (Continued)
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions (Continued) In determining the long-term expected rate of return, staff took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Such cash flows were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the shortterm (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.
The table below reflects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. These geometric rates of return are net of administrative expenses.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

11. JOINT VENTURE – SELF-INSURANCE PROGRAM
The City is a member of the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA). CSJVRMA is a consortium of fifty-four (54) cities in the San Joaquin Valley, California, established under the provisions of California Government Code Section 6500, et seq. CSJVRMA provides risk coverage for its members through the pooling of risks and purchased insurance. This coverage extends to workers’ compensation and general liability. CSJVRMA is governed by a board consisting of one board member appointed by each member agency and meets three to four times a year. The board has contracted with a management group to supervise and conduct CSJVRMA affairs.
The relationship between the City and CSJVRMA is such that CSJVRMA is not a component unit of the City for financial reporting purposes.
In the event of termination and after all claims have been settled, any excess or deficit will be divided among the agencies in accordance with an approved formula.
General Liability Insurance: Annual deposits are paid by member cities and are adjusted retrospectively to cover costs.
The City is covered for the first $1,000,000 of each general liability claim. The City has the right to receive dividends or the obligation to pay assessments based on a formula, which among other expenses, charges the City’s account for liability under $25,000. CSJVRMA participates in an excess pool that provides general liability coverage from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000.

Annual deposits are paid by member cities and are adjusted retrospectively on an annual basis to cover costs and reflect claims experience of both the individual member and the pool. The City is covered for the first $250,000 of each workers’ compensation claim through CSJVRMA. The City has the right to receive dividends or the obligation to pay assessments based on a formula, which among other expenses, charges the City’s account for workers’ compensation losses under $250,000. CSJVRMA participates in an excess pool that provides workers’ compensation coverage from $250,000 to $500,000 and purchases excess insurance above the statutory limit.
There have been no significant changes in insurance coverage as compared to last year, and settlements have not exceeded coverage in each of the past three fiscal years.

C. Contribution
The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by the City. The required contribution is based on a projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements, with additional amounts to prefund benefits determined annually by the City Council. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City contributed $49,617 (including implicit subsidy) and zero to prefund benefits. Plan members receiving benefits contributed no amounts to the total premiums. The General Fund has typically been used to liquidate OPEB liabilities for governmental funds.
D. Total OPEB Liability
The City’s total OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2022 and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the total OPEB liability was determined by actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2022. The total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Discount Rate
The discount rate estimates investment earnings for assets earmarked to cover retiree health benefit liabilities. The discount rate depends on the nature of underlying assets for funded plans. The rate used for a funded plan is the real rate of return expected for plan assets plus long term inflation assumption. For an unfunded plan, the discount rate is based on an index of 20-year General Obligation municipal bonds. For partially funded plans, the discount rate is a blend of the funded and unfunded rates. The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 3.54 percent.

GASB Statement No. 34, modified by GASB Statement No. 63, adds the concept of Net Position, which is measured on the full accrual basis, to the concept of Fund Balance, which is measured on the modified accrual basis.
Net Position
Net position is divided into three captions under GASB Statement No. 34. These captions apply only to net position as determined at the government-wide level, and are described below:
Net Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of net assets which is represented by the current net book value of the City’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets.
Restricted describes the portion of net position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include debt service requirements, and redevelopment funds restricted to low and moderate income housing purposes.
Unrestricted describes the portion of net position which is not restricted as to use.
The government-wide statement of net position reports $9,016,293 of restricted net position.

62 13. NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCES (Continued)
Fund balance is classified as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and/or unassigned based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources in the government funds. The constraints placed on fund balance for the major governmental funds and all other governmental funds are presented as follows:
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
There are pending claims and litigation against the City other than what has been accrued, which are considered normal to the City’s operation. City management is of the opinion that potential claims against the City not covered by insurance resulting from such litigation would not materially affect the basic financial statements of the City beyond funded reserves.
Under certain circumstances, such as default or bankruptcy of other participants, the City may also be liable to pay a portion of the debt of these joint ventures on behalf of the other participants.
15. SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill X1 26 (the Bill) that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action impacted the City that previously had reported a redevelopment agency blended component unit.
The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the county or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. On January 10, 2012, the Lindsay City Council adopted a resolution affirming that the City would serve as the successor agency to the former Lindsay Redevelopment Agency (the Agency).
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations, or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).

63 15. SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (Continued) In future fiscal years, successor agencies are only to be allocated tax increment revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full.
The Bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, the State Controller is required to order the available assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill.
Management believes, in consultation with legal counsel, that the obligations of the former redevelopment agency due to the City are valid enforceable obligations payable by the successor agency trust under the requirements of the Bill. The City’s position on this issue is not a position of settled law and there is considerable legal uncertainty regarding this issue. It is reasonably possible that a legal determination may be made at a later date by an appropriate judicial authority that would resolve this issue unfavorably to the City.
In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011) all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as legal entities as of February 1, 2012.
After the date of dissolution, as allowed under Section 341716(a) of the Bill, the City elected to transfer the housing assets and functions previously performed by the Agency. The remaining assets, liabilities, and activities of the dissolved Agency are reported in the Successor Agency fiduciary fund (private- purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City.
Successor Agency Long-Term Debt
In accordance with the provisions of the Bill and the court case, the obligations of the former redevelopment agency became vested with the funds established for the successor agency upon the date of dissolution, February 1, 2012. Tax increment revenue is pledged to fund the debts of the Successor Agency Trust subject to the reapportionment of such revenues as provided by the Bill.
Successor Agency long-term debt activity for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
65 17. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the City will continue as a going concern. The City’s General Fund after reinstatement of interfund loans has a deficit fund balance of $1,306,438. In addition, the City’s enterprise unrestricted net position mostly derives from the significant receivables owed by the General Fund, which are to be collected over a lengthy period. The ability of the City to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations as they become due is dependent on the City’s ability to develop and implement a plan that will successfully eliminate the current deficit in the General Fund and repay amounts owed to the enterprise funds. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the City is unable to continue as a going concern.
Staff is dedicated to continuing the work needed to correct the financial position of the City, which continues to be negatively impacted by the damaging effects of operational mismanagement from decades prior. Successful tax revenue generating measures in recent years have helped to bring needed resources to the City. Additional tax revenue is expected in future years with the addition of a second retail cannabis location and the completion of a 54-unit low-income housing development. Cost studies are underway for all City fees and rates, including fees and rates for the water and sewer enterprise funds.
Staff is also working with the State Auditor’s Office to follow a formal Corrective Action Plan for the City that will meet both short-term operating needs and build long term fiscal sustainability. To this end, Management has agreed to follow all recommendations made by the State Auditor and has already implemented several financial policies including policies for grant management and fund reserve levels.
The City has adopted a long-range financial plan in conformity with GFOA best practices to provide a guide for dealing with future financial matters systematically.
