ITEM NO. 5.2
DATE:
February 10, 2025
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Judy Erlandson, Acting Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
Introduce an ordinance and waive the first reading amending Livermore Municipal Code Section 13.36.050 Rates Per Service Unit to streamline the rate setting process and improve consistency with the water rate setting process.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council
introduce an ordinance
and waive the first reading amending
Livermore Municipal Code section 13.36.050 Rates per Service Unit to streamline the rate setting process and improve consistency with the water rate setting process.
SUMMARY
Livermore Municipal Code Chapter 13.36 "Sewer Service and Use Charges" establishes the purpose and means to raise revenue for the cost of maintenance, construction, operation and improvement of the City's wastewater facilities used for the collection, treatment, and disposal of sewage, and the reclamation of water as a by-product. Amending Chapter 13.36, section 13.36.050 will streamline the sewer service charge rate setting process and make the language consistent with water rate setting process.
DISCUSSION
Livermore Municipal Code Title 13 "Public Services" contains various chapters establishing the rate setting process and method for adoption of service charges for water, wastewater, and stormwater. With the exception of section 13.36.050, the other relevant code sections allow the Council to set water and stormwater rates by resolution. Currently, section 13.36.050 requires adoption of rates and fees by uncodified ordinance of the City Council and lacks language regarding periodic restudy and recalculation of fees. Shifting to a resolution-based approval process will still be subject to the provisions of Proposition 218 with respect to rates and the cost of service, but it will streamline the adoption process requiring fewer Council actions and less staff time.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
15 The proposed amendment to section 13.36.050 will not result in any fiscal impacts and will reduce staff time required to process rate adjustments in the future.
COMMUNITY PILLAR
1: A Safe Community That Thrives
GOAL
11: Operate and maintain municipal water systems that provide safe, efficient delivery of potable and recycled water, collect and treat wastewater, and comply with all federal, state, and local regulations.

Periodically, the City Council may restudy and recalculate fees. The residential, commercial and institutional user charges for each month of sewer service shall be established by resolution uncodified ordinance of the City Council.

Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, it is not subject to CEQA.
Section 3. Severability. If any part of this ordinance is declared invalid by a court, such invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining parts.
Section 4. Publication. This ordinance shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation of the city of Livermore within fifteen days after its adoption.

The proposed ordinance would create a three-member Building Appeals Board to hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions, and determinations made by City staff relative to the application and interpretation of the California Building Code and other regulations governing construction, use, maintenance, and change of occupancy. Staff recommends adding chapter 15.90, Building Appeals Board, to Title 15 (Buildings and Construction) to create a Building Appeals Board to hear appeals related to the Building Code and amending sections
8.15.125, 15.20.100, 15.20.110, and 15.20.120 for consistency.
DISCUSSION
On March 6, 2024, the California Court of Appeals clarified that local jurisdictions must comply with the appeals processes outlined in the California Building Code for all appeals involving state and local building code violations and any public nuisance determinations based on those violations. Section 1.8.8 of the California Building Code requires local jurisdictions to establish a process to hear and decide administrative appeals of orders, decisions, and determinations made by the local jurisdiction relative to the application and interpretation of the California Building Code and other regulations governing construction, use, maintenance, and change of occupancy. Previously, building code appeals were required to be heard by the City Council, however, the Building Code permits local jurisdictions to 19 establish an appeals board comprised of individuals knowledgeable in applicable building codes, regulations, and ordinances to hear and decide these appeals.
By establishing the Building Appeals Board, the Livermore City Council delegates its authority to hear and decide appeals of building code violations as specified in Section 1.8.8 of the California Building Code to the Building Appeals Board established pursuant to this ordinance.
Staff is recommending the creation of a three-member Building Appeals Board that would be responsible for hearing and deciding appeals of orders, decisions, and determinations made by city staff. The proposed ordinance specifies the creation, composition, staffing, powers and duties, procedures for appeals and how appeals are heard. The following is a summary of some of the key provisions in the draft ordinance:
Members would be appointed by the City Council.
Members would be required to have knowledge of State and local Building Codes.
Members are not required to be Livermore residents and would serve without compensation.
The Building Official or designee would serve as secretary to the Board but would not be able to vote on matters before the Board.
This ordinance establishes the permanent Building Appeals Board, replacing the interim Building Appeals Board created by the City Council in May 2024. Furthermore, at the February 24, 2025meeting, staff will recommend that Council officially appoint the interim Board members as permanent members.

WITH THE NEW BOARD
On March 6, 2024, the California Court of Appeal clarified that local jurisdictions must comply with the appeals processes outlined in the California Building Code for all appeals involving state and local building code violations and any public nuisance determinations based on those violations. Section 1.8.8 of the California Building Code requires local jurisdictions to establish a process to hear and decide administrative appeals of orders, decisions, and determinations made by the local jurisdiction relative to the application and interpretation of the California Building Code and other regulations governing construction, use, maintenance, and change of occupancy. Said appeals must be heard by the City Council, but the Building Code permits local jurisdictions to establish an appeals board comprised of individuals knowledgeable in applicable building codes, regulations, and ordinances to hear and decide these appeals.
On May 16, 2024, the City Council adopted resolution 2024-076 establishing an Interim Appeals Board after receiving an appeal to a notice and order to abate certain violations to the Livermore Municipal Code and the California Building Code. The resolution also directed staff to prepare an ordinance establishing a permanent Appeals Board. This ordinance establishes said Appeals Board.
On February 24, 2025, the City Council appointed the members of the Interim Appeals Board to the new permanent Building Appeals Board.

15. 20. 110 Written decision and order
15. 20.120 Appeal to City Council
8.15.125 Appeal of building code violations.
When a notice and order to abate includes a public nuisance as defined in LMC 8.14.040(M) and (N) for a violation of the California Building Code and other uniform codes adopted by the City in LMC Title 15, Buildings and Construction, the written decision of the administrative hearing officer after hearing with respect to those specific code violations may be appealed by a responsible party to the City Council as set forth in LMC 15.20.120. (Ord. 2105 § 5, 2020) an appeal of the notice and order will be heard by the Building Appeals Board pursuant to LMC 15.90. Appeals heard by the Building Appeals Board shall comply with the procedures of Chapter 8.15 as if the Board were the “hearing officer”, but only to the extent Chapter 8.15 is consistent with the California Building Code or other applicable law governing administrative appeals of violations of the California Building Code.
15.20.100 Administrative hearing.
The administrative hearing shall be conducted in the same manner as set forth in LMC 8.15.100 and 8.15.110 with the following modifications:
A. Appointment. The Community Development Director shall appoint a hearing officer direct the Building Appeals Board pursuant to LMC 15.90 to conduct an administrative hearing upon issuance of a notice and order to demolish a dangerous building.
B. Notice of Hearing. The building division will send out the notice of hearing date to all responsible parties of interest, including any tenants, the hearing officer Building Appeals Board, building official, Community Development Director, City Manager and City Attorney.
C. Burden of Proof. The City has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the dangerous conditions exist and constitute a violation of the code and that demolition of the building is the only economically feasible alternative. The notice and order to demolish a dangerous building and any reports submitted by the building official or designee shall constitute prima facie evidence of the respective facts contained in those documents. The City shall present evidence of the following:
27 EXHIBIT B
1. The dangerous condition of the building;
2. That it is not economically feasible for the building to be repaired and made safe;
3. The economic cost of repair in comparison to demolition or removal and/or any other evidence to show that demolition is the only reasonable or viable alternative; and
4. The history of attempts to gain the responsible party’s compliance to correct the condition of the building.
A responsible party may contest the building official’s determination by providing evidence or expert testimony about the building’s condition, and by providing evidence of the responsible party’s willingness and economic capability to complete the necessary repairs to make the building safe and bring it into compliance in a timely manner, regardless of cost.
D. Inspection of Building. The hearing officer Building Appeals Board may inspect the building, to the extent it is determined safe by the building official to do so, as part of the hearing process; provided, that the parties mutually agree, and the owner for the subject property consents to the inspection. The hearing officer Building Appeals Board must give written notice to the parties of the date and time of the inspection, and the parties are permitted to be present during the hearing officer’s Building Appeals Board’s inspection. The City may request all parties to sign a waiver of liability to be present during the inspection. When the hearing resumes after the inspection, the hearing officer Building Appeals Board shall state for the record the material facts observed during the inspection. The parties shall be afforded an opportunity to rebut or explain the material facts stated by the hearing officer Building Appeals Board.
E. Failure to Appear. The failure to appear at the hearing by the responsible party shall constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies and a waiver of all rights to maintain an action to appeal, modify, or set aside a building official’s notice and order to demolish a dangerous building, and any subsequent City abatement action. Despite the failure to appear, the hearing officer Building Appeals Board is directed to hear the City’s case in the responsible party’s absence and issue a written decision based upon the City’s evidence.
15.20.110 Written decision and order.
After the administrative hearing, the hearing officer Building Appeals Board shall issue a written decision and order as set forth in LMC 8.15.120 with the following modifications:
A. Notice Upheld or Modified.
1. If the hearing officer Building Appeals Board upholds the building official’s determination that the building is dangerous and should be demolished, the decision 28 EXHIBIT B
must include a demolition order that provides a reasonable schedule for the responsible party to obtain a City demolition permit and to take all necessary steps to demolish or remove the building. In no event shall the demolition date be less than 90 days from the date the decision is mailed.
2. If the hearing officer Building Appeals Board determines that the responsible party may repair the dangerous building, rather than demolish it, the decision must include an abatement order that provides a reasonable and feasible schedule for expeditious repair, including obtaining all necessary City permits, providing required architectural and engineering plans or other needed studies, and completing the work. Except under unusual or extenuating circumstances, the date of completion should not exceed 180 days from the date the decision is issued. The building official may extend the date of completion as needed to accommodate reasonable good faith progress by the responsible party to eliminate the dangerous conditions.
3. If the hearing officer Building Appeals Board determines that the nuisance is likely to recur after abatement, the hearing officer’s Building Appeals Board’s written decision may order the person to take adequate precautions for a period of time not to exceed 12 months so that the nuisance will not recur.
4. The written determination shall further state that if the building is not demolished, or if the nuisance is not abated, by the date specified in the order, then the City is ordered and authorized to demolish the building, or abate the nuisance, and to recover the administrative charges, costs and expenses to abate the nuisance from the responsible party as set forth herein and in LMC 8.15.150.
B. Finality of Decision – Judicial Review of Non-Building Code Violations. For any public nuisance violations and associated consolidated hearing issues pursuant to LMC 8.15.100 that are not violations of a building code, the hearing officer’s decision is final and conclusive for the City. The written decision and order shall contain a statement of the right to seek judicial review of that portion of the hearing officer’s decision by filing a petition within 90 days with a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1094.5 and 1094.6.
C. Appeal to City Council – Building Code Violations. For any public nuisance violations that are violations of a building code, the written decision and order shall contain a statement that the Building Appeals Board’s decision is final.
The responsible party may appeal to the City Council pursuant to LMC 15.20.120 that portion of the hearing officer’s Building Appeals Board’s decision pertaining only to orders requiring the demolition of dangerous buildings by filing a written request to the City Clerk requesting an appeal of the hearing officer’s Building Appeals Board’s decision and paying an appeal fee set by City Council resolution within 10 calendar days of the date of the decision.
29 EXHIBIT B
15.20.120 Appeal to City Council.
A. A decision by the Building Appeal’s Board may be appealed to the City Council only if the decision by the Building Appeal’s Board would require the demolition of a dangerous buildings. If the responsible person attended the administrative hearing, he or she may appeal the hearing officer’s Building Appeals Board’s decision by filing a written request to the City Clerk requesting an appeal hearing within 10 calendar days of the date of the hearing officer’s Building Appeals Board’s decision. An appeal fee as set by City Council resolution must be paid within the same 10-calendar-day period for the appeal application to be complete.
B. Within 30 calendar days of receipt of a complete and timely appeal, the hearing before the City Council will be scheduled to take place within 60 days of the date the appeal is received, or as soon thereafter as possible. The City Clerk shall inform the appellant of the date and time of the appeal hearing.
C. The appeal hearing shall be de novo and shall observe the following procedures:
1. The City Council shall receive and consider all relevant testimony, evidence, objections, or protests presented.
2. The person requesting the hearing may represent themselves or may be represented by the person of their choice.
3. The formal rules of evidence and discovery will not apply to the appeal hearing, but the person requesting the hearing, and the building official, shall have the following rights:
a. To appear and present testimony and evidence relevant to any activity or condition identified in the hearing officer’s decision or the notice and order to demolish a dangerous building that is being contested. Hearsay evidence may be presented for the purpose of supplementing or explaining any direct evidence, but shall not be sufficient in itself to support a finding unless it would be admissible over objection in civil actions in courts of competent jurisdiction in California. Relevant evidence may be admitted if it is the type of evidence that is competent and may be relied upon by reasonable persons to make a decision, provided the evidence is more than speculation or conjecture.
Irrelevant and unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded. b. To produce and examine witnesses on any matter relevant to the condition of the premises constituting a nuisance.
c. To introduce documentary and physical evidence.
d. To cross-examine opposing witnesses on any matter relevant to the issues of the hearing.
e. To impeach any witness, regardless of which party first called that witness to testify. f. To rebut the evidence.
30 EXHIBIT B
g. The proceedings at the hearing shall be recorded.
4. The person requesting the hearing, or the building official, may use a certified shorthand or stenographic reporter to maintain a written record of the proceedings at the party’s own expense. When a certified shorthand or stenographic reporter is used, the preparation of a record of the proceeding shall be governed by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1904.6, as it is amended from time to time.
5. The building official’s enforcement file, including the notice and order to demolish a dangerous building and the written decision of the administrative hearing officer’s Building Appeals Board, shall constitute prima facie evidence that the public nuisance exists, that the building is dangerous, and that the administrative charge assessed is appropriate, and shall be deemed evidence of sufficient substantiality to shift the burden of proof to the person contesting the notice and written decision to show cause why the dangerous condition does not exist or should not be abated, or why the administrative charge should not be assessed. The person requesting the hearing has the burden of proving there is a substantial conflict of evidence, or that different conclusions must be drawn from the building official’s evidence, that warrants modifying or setting aside the contested portion of the notice and order to demolish a dangerous building. The building official has the ultimate burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that the activity or condition identified in the notice and order to abate exists, and establishing that the administrative charge should be assessed.
6. The City Council may request additional information from the building official or the person requesting the appeal hearing, or conduct an inspection of the activity or condition that is being contested, at any time before issuing a written decision.
7. The failure of any person requesting the appeal to appear at the appeal hearing shall constitute a waiver of all rights to a hearing and a waiver of all rights to maintain an action to modify or set aside the building official’s notice and order to demolish a dangerous building. The failure to appear shall also constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies, and the City Council shall issue a written decision and order upholding the notice and order to demolish a dangerous building as to that party.
D. Upon the completion of such hearing, the City Council shall, by resolution, declare its findings and its decision to uphold, modify, or set aside the building official’s notice of demolition of a dangerous building for the building code violation and shall follow the form set forth in LMC 8.15.120 for a written decision.
E. Judicial Review. The City Council’s decision after appeal is final and conclusive for the City. The resolution shall contain a statement of the right to seek judicial review of the hearing officer’s decision by filing a petition within 90 days with a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1094.5 and 1094.6. 31 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing a supplemental appropriation of Traffic Impact Fee Fund 510 in the amount of $200,000 to complete the analysis for the Traffic Impact Fee Nexus Study.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution authorizing a supplemental appropriation of Traffic Impact Fee Fund 510 in the amount of $200,000 to the FY 2024-25 engineering operating budget to complete the analysis for the Traffic Impact Fee Nexus Study.
SUMMARY
The Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Nexus Study is currently being updated. Additional analysis is required to study projects identified when the TIF Impact Fee Nexus Study was last updated. These projects include internal roadway improvements within the City and proposed overpass improvements. The additional analysis will determine if these projects are still necessary and update the TIF cost estimates. An additional $200,000 is required from Traffic Impact Fee Fund 510 to cover this analysis.
DISCUSSION
City staff is conducting updates to the Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Nexus Study. The study will identify street improvements required for General Plan build-out and update the required Traffic Impact Fee to construct these improvements. The original plan for the TIF study updates was to screen through the project list included in the old TIF nexus study (2004) and remove projects that have been completed.
However, due to changes in traffic conditions over the past 20 years and other changes to the regional network, staff recommends that updated analysis be provided for all projects so that the updated Traffic Impact Fee is based on current information. This updated analysis will also help compare potential traffic impacts associated with land use changes being evaluated as part of the General Plan Update.
The proposed scope of work involves evaluating each project included in the old TIF nexus study using the most recent City of Livermore Travel Demand Model. New projects may also be recommended as part of the analysis. In addition, updated analysis will be provided for the ultimate configuration of overpasses such as First Street, Las Colinas Road and Vasco Road. Alignments for Southfront Road 49 and Preston Avenue at the proposed Valley Link – Southfront Road station will also be evaluated. The additional estimated consultant cost in FY 2024-25 is approximately $200,000, including $150,000 for BKF Engineering to provide ultimate configurations of overpasses and $50,000 for Kittelson & Associates to provide updated analysis for other listed projects. The existing contract amount for Kittelson & Associates will be increased and a new contract will be started with BKF Engineering.
All of this information will be needed to finalize the Traffic Impact Fee Nexus Study. The current schedule is to finalize the analysis by the middle of 2025 and bring the updated study and Traffic Impact Fee adjustment to City Council in fall 2025.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Currently, Traffic Impact Fee Fund 510 is budgeted in the FY 2024-25 engineering operating budget in the amount of $41,332 for the TIF updates. An additional supplemental appropriation in FY 2024-25 of Traffic Impact Fee Fund 510 in the amount of $200,000 is required to complete the Traffic Impact Fee Nexus Study.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION OF TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE FUND 510 IN THE AMOUNT OF $200,000 TO COMPLETE THE
ANALYSIS FOR THE TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY
The City of Livermore is currently updating its Traffic Impact Fee Nexus Study. The study will identify required street improvements for the General Plan build-out and update the Traffic Impact Fee, which will be utilized to construct these improvements. The last Traffic Impact Fee Study was prepared in 2004.
Due to changes in traffic conditions and other changes to the regional network over the last twenty years, additional analysis is required to study projects identified in the 2004 Traffic Impact Fee Nexus Study, including certain internal roadway improvements and proposed overpass improvements, to determine if the projects are still necessary and, if so, to update cost estimates for those projects. New projects may also be recommended. This additional analysis will also help identify potential traffic impacts associated with land use changes being evaluated as part of the General Plan update. For these reasons, an additional $200,000 is required from Traffic Impact Fee Fund 510 to complete the analysis for the new Traffic Impact Fee Nexus Study.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Livermore that it authorizes a supplemental appropriation of Traffic Impact Fee Fund 510 in the amount of $200,000 to the FY 2024-25 engineering operating budget to complete the analysis for the Traffic Impact Fee Nexus Study.

51 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 5.7
DATE:
February 10, 2025
TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Tina Olson, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution accepting the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and Other Audit Reports for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2024.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution accepting the following reports for Fiscal Year 2023-24 as completed:
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, and ratify and approve the audited financial statements presented therein in accordance with Government Code §37208; Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure B Program Financial Statements; Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure BB Program Financial Statements; Alameda County Transportation Commission Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) Measure F Program Financial Statements;
Agreed Upon Procedures for Compliance with the Proposition 111 2023-24 Appropriations Limit Increment;
Memorandum of Internal Control; and
Required Communications.
SUMMARY
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which contains the Auditor’s Opinion, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, is complete and ready for City Council acceptance. The auditors have given the City an unmodified or “clean” opinion on the ACFR. This is shown as the Independent Auditors’ Opinion letter in the audit report (page 1). This is the 43rd consecutive year the City has received an unmodified opinion. In addition to the ACFR, there are six other audit compliance reports being presented for acceptance.
DISCUSSION
The audited ACFR and other required audit compliance reports are being presented to the City Council in accordance with the Livermore Municipal Code §2.28.020 and Government Code §37208. This year’s 52 audits were performed by the City’s independent auditors, Eide Bailly LLP.
Over the last two years the Finance and the Housing and Human Services divisions completed an inventory of housing loans outstanding and believe all loans are now accounted for and recorded correctly. These corrections resulted in a restatement of the beginning net position and fund balance.
The corrections relate to understated and in some instances overstated loans receivables. The effect of this correction is shown under the line captioned as Loans Receivables. The loans receivable restatement had no impact on the change in net position or the change in fund balance of the prior year.
The correction also did not result in additional affordable housing funds that could be used for affordable housing projects. Finance and Housing and Human Services are developing a Housing Loans Issuance Policy to ensure that all future loans are recorded and reported correctly on the financial statements.
The City changed its beginning and ending measurement dates of its net Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability from June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively, to June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, because the City's third-party OPEB trust fund administrator did not submit their audit to the City's auditors in time for the City’s auditors to opine on the OPEB trust fund balances. The measurement date change will eliminate the possibility of this happening in future audits of the City’s financial statements. The beginning net position of the Governmental Activities, Business Type Activities, the Airport, the Water, the Sewer, the Stormwater and the Internal Service funds have been restated to reflect that change.
These restatements did not alter the auditor’s opinion on the City’s ACFR. The auditors have given the City an unmodified or “clean” opinion on the ACFR. This is shown as the Independent Auditors’ Opinion letter in the audit report (page 1). This is the 43rd consecutive year the City has received an unmodified opinion.
Government Code §37208 provides that a City Council is not required to approve payroll and other budgeted demands prior to issuing payment, they may be presented to the City Council for ratification and approval, in the form of an ACFR.
The City has submitted the FY 2023-24 ACFR for the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting award program. In the past, the City has received the GFOA award and believes that the recent ACFR meets the stringent requirements to again merit GFOA recognition.
In addition to the ACFR, there are six other reports for review:
Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure B Program Financial Statements is
required by the Master Program Funding Agreement with the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) and confirms that the City has complied with the provisions of Measure B.
Alameda County voters approved the half-cent transportation sales tax in November 2000. The sales tax collection began on April 1, 2002, and extended through March 31, 2022. ACTC administers Measure B funds to deliver essential transportation improvements and services.
Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure BB Program Financial Statements is
required by the Master Program Funding Agreement with the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) and confirms that the City has complied with the provisions of Measure BB.
Alameda County voters approved Measure BB in November 2014 and collection of the half-cent 53 transportation sales tax by the Board of Equalization began on April 1, 2015, and extended through March 31, 2022. The full one-cent sales tax authorized by Measure BB began April 1, 2022, and will extend through March 31, 2045. Local jurisdictions began to receive the flow of funds in July 2015. ACTC administers Measure BB funds for essential transportation improvements in every city throughout Alameda County.
Alameda County Transportation Commission Vehicle Registration Fee Measure F Program Financial Statements
is required by the Master Programs Funding Agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission and confirms that the City has complied with the laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements as specified and applicable to Measure F.
Measure F is the Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee Program which was approved by voters in November 2010 and generates $10 per vehicle each year. The collection of these funds began in May 2011 will continue to be imposed annually unless repealed. The revenue generated is used for local road improvement and repair, transit congestion relief, local transportation technology, and pedestrian, bicyclist access, and safety programs.
Agreed Upon Procedures for Compliance with the Proposition 111 2020-21 Appropriation Limit Increment
is required by Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. This report shows the auditors applied specific procedures, which were suggested by the League of California Cities and presented in their Article XIIIB Appropriation Limitation Uniform Guidelines, to validate the City’s calculation of the Appropriations Limit. No exceptions were noted.
Memorandum on Internal Control:
In planning and performing the audit of the financial statements, the City's auditors, Eide Bailly LLP, considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing the auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing opinions on the financial statements. The auditors are required to communicate to the City Council any internal control matters that come to their attention during the audit. Eide Bailly LLP have provided such a report in their Memorandum on Internal Control (MOIC) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
The report states that the audit did not identify any deficiencies in the City's internal control.
Required Communications:
Under generally accepted auditing standards, the City’s external auditors are required to formally communicate with the governing body to convey audit matters, the scope of work, difficulties, adjustments to financial statements, or any possible disagreements with management. Professional standards require the auditor to evaluate the financial statements and assess the risk that a material misstatement could occur. Areas that are potentially more susceptible to misstatements, and thereby require special audit considerations, are designated as “significant risks”. The auditors identified no areas of significant risks.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
There is no direct fiscal impact in accepting the FY 2023-24 audit reports. Total audit and report preparation costs of
$155,341
are within budget and are allocated to the General Fund, Enterprise funds, Measure B funds, Measure BB funds and transportation funds as the audits and reports are completed.
The total fee also includes preparation costs of certain reports not requiring City Council acceptance that are transmitted directly to the California State Controller, including the Special Districts Financial Transactions Report for the Livermore Capital Projects Financing Authority (LCPFA) and the Cities Financial Transactions Report for the City of Livermore.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
I am pleased to present the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. State law requires that every general-purpose local government publish, within six months of the close of each fiscal year, a complete set of audited financial statements. This report fulfills that requirement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
The data in this report is presented in a manner that is designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the City of Livermore (the City). It contains the disclosures necessary to promote in-depth understanding of the City's financial affairs and evaluate its financial condition.
The City’s financial statements have been audited by Eide Bailly LLP located in Menlo Park, California. The independent auditors concluded, based on their audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified (or “clean”) opinion that the City of Livermore’s financial statements for the fiscal year (FY) ended June 30, 2024, are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The independent auditor’s report is the first item presented in the financial section of this report.
In addition to the financial audit, each year the City is required to undergo an audit of federal grant expenditures.
That report is commonly referred to as a Single Audit report and is issued as a separate document and is not included herein. The Single Audit report includes the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, Findings and Recommendations, and an auditor's report on the internal control structure and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
The provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34, “Basic Financial Statements— and Management’s Discussion & Analysis—for State and Local Governments” requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements entitled, “Management Discussion & Analysis” (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with the MD&A, which can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors in the financial section of the ACFR.

City of Livermore
Letter of Transmittal
June 30, 2024
The City of Livermore, incorporated on April 1, 1876, is located on the southeasterly boundary of Alameda County.
The City of Livermore is a General Law city and has the power to make and enforce ordinances and regulations with respect to municipal affairs to the extent expressly permitted or implied by the California constitution or specific legislation. The City is organized as a council-manager form of local municipal government. The five-member City Council is elected at large for overlapping four-year terms. The City Council includes an elected Mayor whose term of office is two years.
On November 26, 2018, the City adopted an ordinance to transition from an at-large to district-based election system to comply with the California Voting Rights Act (California Government Code Section 34886 and 34871(c)).
The City Council selected a district map dividing the City into four single member districts. Starting with the general municipal election in November 2020, City Council members were elected in City Council districts 3 and 4. Council members were elected in City Council districts 1 and 2 beginning at the general municipal election in November 2022. The Mayor continues to be elected on an at large basis.
The City Council appoints the City Manager and City Attorney to carry out its adopted policies. In addition, the City Council appoints members of advisory Commissions, Committees, and Boards.
The City Council sets priorities and adopts the biennial budget on or before June 30 for each of the ensuing two fiscal years, which serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is maintained at the fund level. The City Manager may transfer resources within a fund. Supplemental appropriations and budget transfers between funds and projects, however, need approval from the City Council. The City's budgetary procedures are further discussed in Note 2 of the notes to the basic financial statements.
The City, with 491.4 full-time equivalent employees, provides a wide range of services to a residential population of 84,8281. These services include public safety (police, fire, building inspection, water, and sewer); street and landscape maintenance; street lighting; planning and public improvements; public libraries; general administrative services, and municipal airport services. Fire safety services are provided by a Joint Powers Authority, Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD). Recreational services are provided to residents by the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District (LARPD), a special district governed by a separately elected board.
The City is also financially accountable for a legally separate Livermore Capital Projects Financing Authority (LCPFA), which is reported within the City’s financial statements as a blended component unit. Additional information on this legally separate entity can be found in the notes to the financial statements (see Note 1).
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps better understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates. _______________________________________

The City is the easternmost city in the San Francisco Bay Area situated in the growing Tri-Valley area which contains the cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, and San Ramon. Livermore is conveniently located near two major freeways, I-580 and I-680, and is close to the metropolitan areas of San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. In addition to its proximity to the Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose International Airports, the City of Livermore owns and operates the Livermore Municipal Airport. This general aviation airport services private and corporate customers, and records more than 197,000 takeoffs and landings annually.
Livermore Valley Wine Country is one of the oldest wine regions in California. On November 22, 2021, the Livermore Valley Wine Heritage District was formed to provide funding for marketing and education efforts to increase winery sales revenue, and other improvements and activities for the 46 assessed wineries in Livermore Valley. Livermore is surrounded by award-winning wineries, farmlands, and ranches that mirror the valley’s history.
Less than an hour east of San Francisco, Livermore Valley Wine Country’s picturesque canyons and ridges welcome locals and visitors to the valley’s vineyards and tasting rooms, which are an integral part of Livermore’s quality of life. Popular wine bars, tasting rooms and boutique wine shops thrive in downtown Livermore as well.
Livermore is the home of two world-renowned national laboratories: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). The laboratories are premier science and technology research facilities, which conduct some of the nation’s most innovative research related to several national programs, including security, combustion and renewable energy, water resources and biosciences. The presence of the laboratories attracts other technology and industrial companies as well as professional services businesses. In addition, one of the largest retail outlet malls in California is in Livermore and is home to over 180 leading designer and name brand outlet stores, as well as a growing number of small retailers.
In June 2024 the City’s unemployment rate of 3.9% continued to rank below the average unemployment rates of the nation (4.1%), county (4.7%) and state (5.3%). Employment in Livermore has historically been less volatile due to the presence of major public sector employers and their contractors. Besides the City itself, two national laboratories, a school district, a community college, and a park and recreation district are major employers in the City. The following chart shows a 15-year comparison of unemployment rates in the state and local areas as well as the U.S. by fiscal year.

Source: State of CA – Employment Development Department A key indicator of the local economy is retail sales. Sales tax revenues are highly sensitive to economic conditions such as levels of unemployment, job growth, consumer confidence, per-capita income, and tourism.
It is important to be aware that approximately 15% of the City’s sales tax revenue is derived from the San Francisco Premium Outlets which focuses on high-end consumer goods. Many of the shoppers are tourists visiting the San Francisco Bay area. Out of the 4.8 million Livermore visitors, 2.7 million or 56% visited the San Francisco Premium Outlets (source: Placer AI).
Livermore’s taxable sales in FY 2023-24 were 1.0% higher than FY 2022-23 with the majority of gains coming from the Building and Construction group that are offset by losses in the Autos and Transportation and Business and Industry groups. The chart below illustrates the City’s sales tax revenue for FY 2023-24 by major industry group.

The local real estate market and property value assessments are key indicators of the local economy. Property tax is less volatile compared to sales tax. The City’s assessed property valuation increased by 5.6% to $26.8 billion in FY 2023-24 compared to a 7.5% increase in the previous fiscal year.
Livermore’s real estate market continued to strengthen during FY 2023-24. As reported by the East Bay Association of Realtors, the median sales price for a single-family residence in Livermore remained about the same - $1.2 million in both June 2024 and June 2023 likely due to increased interest rates.

In its October 23, 2023 Publications, the Conference Board forecasts that US economic growth will experience moderate growth at year-end and early next year related to stronger consumer spending, increased after-tax income, and higher savings among US households as well as a healthy labor market that continues to support consumption. They forecast that real GDP will grow by 2.6 percent in 2024, and then fall to 1.7 percent in 2025.
Although Livermore’s current financial picture is positive, there are plenty of reasons for concern when we look out further on the financial horizon. The City is on a steady financial course, but still strives to achieve long-term financial stability, which is linked to adequately funding its long-term liabilities. While General Fund reserves are currently fully funded, future liabilities, increasing employee costs, and deferred infrastructure maintenance temper the City’s progress.
The single largest unaddressed financial challenge the City faces is the maintenance and replacement of its infrastructure. The City is in the process of developing a comprehensive infrastructure repair and replacement plan so that adequate resources are available when needed. In the meantime, the City established two capital reserves in June 2023 – Existing Asset Maintenance and Repair Reserve and New and Replacement Asset Reserve. As of June 30, 2024, there was a combined balance of $39.1 million in capital reserves. The City funds capital reserves through year-end surpluses and, depending on the City’s budget status, annual budget allocations.
Rising pension costs will continue to be a challenge for most public agencies. The City contributes to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) for its Miscellaneous and Safety Police retirement plans. CalPERS implemented a 20-year rate amortization and a five-year phase-in effective from fiscal year 2016-17. The City’s “second tier” pension plan (2% at 60) coupled with the Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) will reduce employee pension costs in the long-term. City staff will continue to monitor CalPERS changes and suggest prudent strategies to address these increases as the opportunities arise.
The FY 2023-25 Budget allocated approximately $20 million from General Fund resources for capital improvements, representing a significant investment in facility repairs and replacements, sidewalk repairs, street tree removal and replacement, wall repairs, and stormwater projects.
The City of Livermore, along with the San Francisco Bay Area and much of California, is in the middle of a homelessness crisis. The prolonged economic expansion, low interest rates through most of 2022, and housing shortage led to median home values skyrocketing throughout the Bay Area. As mentioned above, the median home price for a single-family home in Livermore is approximately $1.2 million on June 30, 2024. To purchase a median priced home with 10% down requires approximately $120,000 for down payment, $36,000 for closing costs, and approximately $191,600 in annual household income. The average rent in Livermore for a two-bedroom apartment is approximately $2,600 per month. A household will need an annual average income of $104,000 to afford this level of rent.

A five-year General Fund Financial Plan is included in the City’s adopted budget. This is a valuable financial planning management tool, especially in challenging financial times, which assists the City Council in setting priorities and educating the community on the long-term state of the City’s finances. Inflation and historical growth rates are used to predict levels of expenditures. The expenditure base and revenue base are then adjusted for discrete changes that may occur within the five-year forecast period such as the addition of a major employer, retail center, hotel and/or additional housing development.
Perhaps the best measure of the City’s ability to withstand an economic downturn while maintaining current service levels and building sustained growth for the future is its fund balance reserves. In general, a city should maintain sufficient reserves to mitigate potential emergency scenarios. The City committed to maintaining General Fund reserves equal to at least 30% of annual General Fund budgeted expenditures and transfers related to debt service.
The City has maintained reserves equal to at least 30% since 2008 except for 2013 when reserves were equal to 29%.
The City Council sets goals and priorities through a 5-year Citywide Strategic Plan that guides the City’s budget and workplan. The Strategic Plan is organized around the following five broad community pillars:
1. A Safe Community that Thrives
2. Economy that Prospers
3. Environmental Stewardship
4. Inclusive and Inviting Spaces and Places
5. A City that Works

The City made extensive progress towards each of these priorities. Some of the achievements realized during the FY 2023-24 are as follows:
• On November 8, 2022, Livermore voters approved Measure P to extend city sewer service beyond the South Livermore Urban Growth Boundary. The purpose of the service is to protect ground water quality and facilitate development of wine country land uses envisioned under the City's South Livermore Valley Specific Plan and Alameda County's South Livermore Valley Area Plan. City and County staff continue to coordinate funding and design of the system. Staff is currently getting proposals for the design. • On September 20, 2022, the Livermore Planning Commission approved renovation of the historic building located at the northwest corner of South Livermore Avenue and Second Street. The former SBC Building will be the new home of Farmers Union. Taking a cue from the same restaurant in San Jose, which is a staple in their downtown, the cuisine will feature house-smoked meats, seasonal and local vegetables, and comfort food classics. A roof top deck and prominent street presence will contribute to the downtown's revitalization at this prominent corner. Construction started in 2024 and is scheduled to be completed by fall 2025.
• The City Council adopted the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan in November 2020. The Specific Plan envisions a complete neighborhood around the future Valley Link train station. Three residential projects approved in the summer of 2022 and spring of 2023 are now under construction: 89 condominiums and 210 apartments in Shea Portola by Shea Homes and 184 condominiums in two projects by DeNova Homes. Four projects have received entitlement: The Park View, Isabel Crossings, Shea Tranquility, Shea Portola apartments. Entitlement is being reviewed for 139 townhomes and 110 affordable rentals on Cornerstone Chu Site.
• Repaired storm damage along city creeks and trails from last season's storms. • Constructing 452 space L Street Garage and site improvements which include 50 electric vehicle chargers and new pedestrian pathways. Pouring top level in December 2024. Expect opening in summer 2025. • Made significant progress on downtown remediation. Removed contaminated soil, installed soil vapor extraction wells and pipelines, obtained site closure for Blacksmith Square Expansion and Blackbox Theater sites, and received $7 Million in grant funding for remediation activities from the Department of Toxic Substances Control.
• Installed new crosswalks, repaired multi use trails, and installed new ADA ramps. • Repaired sidewalks through town by slicing and complete replacement. • Completing major primary and secondary treatment system upgrades at the Water Reclamation Plant. • Completed citywide overlay and slurry seal road renovations.

Fund Balance Policy In June 2016, the City Council adopted a resolution updating the Livermore Fund Balance Policy to maintain the fiscal stability of the organization, to help maintain the City’s credit worthiness, and to provide funds for economic uncertainties, contingencies, and cash flow requirements. The General Fund Financial Stabilization Operating Reserve is set at 15 percent of budgeted operating expenditures plus debt service transfers to be used in a catastrophic event or in a major emergency or in periods of severe fiscal crisis. The General Fund Economic Uncertainty Reserve is set at 13.5 percent of budgeted operating expenditures plus debt service transfers to be used during times of severe economic distress such as protracted recessionary periods or other impactful unforeseen events which greatly diminish the financial ability of the City to deliver core services. Minimum unassigned fund balance is set at 1.5 percent of the budgeted operating expenditures plus transfers for debt service.
Infrastructure Repair and Replacement Funding As previously noted, Council adopted a resolution creating two capital reserves for general government-owned facilities and infrastructure to help ensure there is sufficient funding to address the City’s capital needs – Existing Asset Maintenance and Repair Reserve Fund and the New and Replacement Aset Reserve Fund.
Debt Management and Disclosure policy The City’s Debt Management and Disclosure Policy is intended to ensure compliance by the City with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations; to achieve the highest practical credit ratings within the context of the City’s financing needs and financing capabilities; and to establish maximum limits on the amounts of debt outstanding and the amount of annual debt service the City will consider.
This policy sets a ceiling for the cumulative annual payments related to debt from the General Fund at 7.5 percent of the previous fiscal year's General Fund revenue.
Timeliness of Financial Reporting Practices The City believes that time is of the essence in the publication of Budget and Annual Comprehensive Financial Report documents. The budget is adopted before June 30 and loaded into the financial system on the first day of the new fiscal year. The ACFR publication date is generally within 180 days of the close of the fiscal year. The City’s major financial documents are available on the web at www.livermoreca.gov.

GFOA Financial Reporting Certificate of Achievement
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Livermore for its annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. This was the 35th consecutive year that the City of Livermore has achieved this prestigious award. To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a
government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual comprehensive financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current annual comprehensive financial report continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement Program’s requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
This report represents the culmination of dedicated efforts by City staff both inside and outside of the Finance Division. The preparation of this report on a timely basis could not have been accomplished without the hard work and team effort of the entire financial reporting team. I wish to thank all departments for their assistance in providing the data necessary to prepare this report. I would like to express my appreciation and thanks to Ahmad Gharaibeh and his staff at Eide Bailly LLP. Credit is also due to the Mayor and the City Council members for their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the City’s finances.
Very truly yours,

Independent Auditor’s Report
To Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Livermore
Livermore, 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 Livermore, California (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 accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business‐type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards).
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of 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.
Restatement Due to Correction of an Error
As discussed in Note 19 to the financial statements, the prior year financial statements contained an error that was discovered during the current year. The prior year financial statements understated and, in some instances, overstated certain notes receivables. Accordingly, the beginning net position of the governmental activities, the fund balance of the Low-Income Housing-Special Revenue Fund and the fund balance of the Nonmajor Governmental Funds has been restated to incorporate the change in notes receivables. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.

Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 19 to the financial statements, the City changed the measurement date of its Net OPEB Liability. The beginning net position of the Governmental Activities, Business Type Activities, the Airport, the Water, the Sewer, the Stormwater and the Internal Service funds have been restated to reflect that change. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
EXHIBIT A
85 3
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances Budget and Actual, Schedule of Changes in the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, Schedule of the Plan’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, Schedule of Pension Contributions, Schedule of Changes in the City’s Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, and Schedule of OPEB Contributions 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 fund financial statements and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
EXHIBIT A
86 4
The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and 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 auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 14, 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 City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The purpose of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis is to offer to the reader of the City’s financial statements a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Livermore for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The reader is encouraged to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the additional information furnished in the letter of transmittal, which can be found on page i of this report.
Financial Highlights
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City of Livermore exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of fiscal year 2024 by $724.4 million (net position). Of this amount, $70.4 million represents unrestricted net position, which may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The City’s net position increased 4.02% (or $39.6 million) for the current fiscal year to $724.4 million from a net position balance of $696.3 million in the prior fiscal year of which $15.4 million was generated by governmental activities and $14.1 million was generated by business-type activities. • The City’s Net Pension liability increased $8.8 million from $155.2 million in the prior year to $164.0 million in fiscal year 2024, due to changes in CalPERS investment returns less than the discount rate. CalPERS reports have a measurement date one year behind the financials, and the City is expecting the Net Pension liability to decrease in next year’s financials due to investment gains exceeding the discount rate in fiscal year 2024. • The City had a total unrealized loss on investments of $9.5 million for fiscal year 2024. This is an improvement of $7.9 million from fiscal year 2023’s unrealized loss of $17.4 million. Staff has been working with the City’s investment advisor to reinvest maturities strategically to maximize investment income. The City should see unrealized losses narrow again next year with rate cut expectations and reinvesting maturing investments at higher rates. The City did not incur any actual losses. Actual investment income was $7.1 million in fiscal year 2024 from the City’s main portfolio, an increase of $1.5 million from fiscal year 2023. • At the close of fiscal year 2024, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $275.4 million, an increase of $7.3 million from the prior fiscal year’s restated fund balance of $268.1 million due to increased property tax revenues, revenues from charges for services, and investment income, which is partially offset by increased transfers out and capital project expenditures. • At the end of the current fiscal year, the unrestricted fund balance (the total of the committed, assigned, and unassigned components of fund balance) for the General Fund was $86.5 million, or approximately 62.9% of total General Fund expenditures, and transfers out.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2024
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: government-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide the reader with a broad overview of the City’s finances, similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all the City’s assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, and deferred inflows with the difference reported as Net Position. Over time, increases or decreases in Net Position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or declining.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s Net Position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. This is known as the full accrual basis of accounting.
Both government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or most of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include the following functions: General Government (city council, city manager, city attorney, city clerk, finance, human resources), fire, police, public services, community development, economic development, and library. The business-type activities of the City include airport, water, sewer, and stormwater.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government) but also the activities of its legally separate component unit, the Livermore Capital Projects Financing Authority (LCPFA).
Since the City Council acts as the governing board for LCPFA and because this component unit functions as part of the City government, its activities are blended with those of the primary government. The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 23-24 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been designated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2024
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, 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. This information may be useful in evaluating the City’s near-term financial requirements. The basis of accounting in governmental funds is known as the modified accrual basis.
The focus of fund financial statements is narrower than that of 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, the reader may better understand the long- term impact of the City’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 the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. This is required because the government-wide statements are prepared on the full accrual basis of accounting while the fund statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting.
The governmental fund financial statements provide separate information for all major funds, while non-major funds are combined in a single column. In fiscal year 2024, the City identified two major governmental funds, which are the General Fund, and the Low-Income Housing Fund.
Proprietary Funds
The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its airport, water, sewer, and stormwater activities. Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for the management of its retained risk for general liability and workers’ compensation, and for its fleet and equipment services, information technology, cybersecurity, and facilities rehabilitation.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for all four of the City’s enterprise funds. These funds are Airport, Water, Sewer, and Stormwater. All the City’s internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the propriety fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the Supplemental Information section of this report.
Fiduciary Statements
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds activities are excluded from the City’s government-wide financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its own operations.
The City maintains two different types of fiduciary funds. The Private-Purpose Trust Fund is used to account for the assets and liabilities held in trust for the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency; and Custodial Funds are used to account for monies collected and disbursed in a custodial capacity for the Livermore Pleasanton Fire District JPA and other agencies. The fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 35-36.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes to the basic financial statements provide important additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data reported in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial Statements are found on pages 37-91.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information related to the City’s changes in net pension liability, employer’s contribution to the pension plans, the Schedule of Changes in the City’s OPEB Liability, the Schedule of Contributions for other post- employment benefits, and the budgetary comparison schedules for major governmental funds. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 93-102.
Individual fund data for non-major governmental funds, internal services funds, and fiduciary funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information beginning on pages 103-133 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, the City’s net position serves as a useful indicator of whether the City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating. Other factors, such as market conditions, should be considered when measuring the City’s overall financial position. This analysis focuses on the net position and changes in net position of the City as a whole. As shown in the chart below, total government-wide assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $724.4 million, at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
Long‐term liabilities, which consists mostly of claims, debt, compensated absences, pension, and postemployment benefit obligations, increased by $1.9 million from the previous year for governmental and business‐type activities combined. The City’s debt decreased by $7.0 million due to scheduled debt payments. The City’s total pension liability increased by $8.8 million.

(in Millions)1
Governmental actitivies Business-type activities Total
By far, the largest portion of the City’s net position ($466.7 million or 64.4%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure), less any related outstanding debt that was used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide a variety of services to its citizens.
Accordingly, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources used to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the City is unlikely to use the capital assets themselves to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City’s net position ($187.2 million or 25.8%) represents resources that may be used only for specified capital projects, special revenue programs, or landscape and maintenance. The restrictions on these funds were placed there by outside agencies and are not subject to change by the City.
At the end of fiscal year 2024, except for unrestricted net position, the City is able to report positive balances in all reported categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate business-type activities. The unrestricted category for governmental activities had a deficit balance of $58.9 million as of the end of fiscal year 2024. The deficit is caused primarily by $97.0 million in the unfunded pension liabilities and $25.5 million in postemployment liabilities including the related deferred inflows and outflows of resources. The unfunded net pension liabilities and net OPEB liabilities will be funded annually in accordance with actuarially determined contribution rates. The positive component of the governmental activities unrestricted net position, excluding the effects of pension and OPEB liabilities, is $63.6 million and may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
Overall, the City’s net position increased by $29.6 million to $724.4 million in fiscal year 2024 from $694.9 million for the prior fiscal year. The reasons for this overall increase are discussed in the following sections for governmental activities and business-type activities.

The Statement of Activities presents program revenues and expenses, and general revenues in detail. The City’s governmental activities Net Position was $442.1 million on June 30, 2024, an increase of $15.4 million over the 2023 restated balance of $428.0 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2024
Total revenues from governmental activities were $182.3 million. The largest component of total revenue is taxes at $112.7 million, making up 61.8% of total revenues. As shown in table on the previous page, $38.5 million, or 21.1%, of the City’s Governmental Activities revenue in fiscal year 2024 came from program revenues out of which charges for services accounted for 8.9% of total governmental revenues while Operating and Capital Grants made up 12.2% of the total governmental revenues.
Program revenues for governmental activities increased by $2.7 million during the year due to an increase of $3.1 million for total grants and contributions, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in charges for services. General revenues experienced an increase of $9.2 million in the current year primarily due to an increase of $7.5 million in investment income, and $3 million increase in taxes. You can find additional details under the Fund Financial Statements Analysis.
The sources of the revenues shown previously are portrayed in the chart below by percentage for the Governmental Activities. The City’s reliance upon tax revenues is evident from the sources of revenue chart, indicating that more than half of the City’s total governmental activities revenue comes from general tax revenues. This is consistent with the nature and purpose of governmental funds, particularly in the General Fund, where programs are largely supported by general taxes.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2024
The Functional Expenses chart above shows Police and Fire accounted for 42.9% of total governmental expenses while Community Development accounted for 20.4%, Public Works 15.7% and other governmental programs 21.0%.
As shown in the graph below, during fiscal year 2024, the cost of all activities exceeded the revenue generated by those programs. This is to be expected as other general sources of revenues such as property taxes, sales taxes, other taxes, and investment income are used to subsidize the gap between program expenditures and program revenues.
Business-type Activities
For the City’s business-type activities, the results for fiscal year 2024 were positive in that the overall net position increased to reach an ending balance of $282.3 million. The total increase in net position for business-type activities was $14.2 million or 5.3% from fiscal year 2023 net position. Overall business type program revenues increased by $6.8 million from fiscal year 2023 level of $55.5 million to $62.3 million in fiscal year 2024. The increase was mostly due to an increase of $6.9 million in charges for services.
Program expenses increased by $5.7 million to a total of $57.5 million in the current year. The major reason for the increase is related to increased personnel, insurance, and repair and maintenance projects.

Analysis of the Fund Statements
The table below summarizes the activities and balances of governmental funds. As of June 30, 2024, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $275.4 million, an increase of $7.3 million from the prior year ending fund balance of $268.1 million. Approximately 4.3% of this amount ($11.8 million) is available for spending at the government’s discretion (unassigned fund balance).

The following are contributing factors affecting the revenues this fiscal year:
• Property tax revenues grew by almost $2.0 million in fiscal year 2024 primarily from assessed valuation growth.
• Overall sales tax revenues increased by approximately $0.5 million compared to the prior fiscal year as inflation and rising interest rates slowed large purchases. • Use of money and property increased $9.8 million as interest rates rose throughout the year and the year-end market value adjustment loss narrowed in the current year. • Charges for services revenue increased $3.8 million as certain impact fees and in-lieu fees were collected. • Miscellaneous revenue decreased $4.2 million due a one-time settlement in fiscal year 2023.
In fiscal year 2024 expenditures for governmental funds totaled $169.2 million, an increase of $22.2 million (or
15.1%) from fiscal year 2023 total of $147.0 million. The largest contributor to the change was an increase of $8.0 million in capital projects and an increase of $1.0 million in debt service. The rest of the increases were due to increased Community Development and Public Works departments’ repair and maintenance expenses. with increases of $6.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The fire department expenses increased by $3.1 million.

Analysis of Major Governmental Funds
General Fund
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Livermore. At the end of the current fiscal year, the total fund balance of the General Fund was $92.1 million, out of which $12.3 million was unassigned.
As a measure of the General Fund liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total General Fund expenditures and transfers-out. The unassigned fund balance of $12.3 million represents approximately 8.9% of total General Fund expenditures and transfers out, while the total fund balance of $92.1 million represents approximately 66.7% of the same amount.
The non-spendable fund balance of $5.5 million represents balances set aside for specific items and therefore, are unavailable. The Committed Fund Balance of $20.7 million represents Financial Stabilization Operating Reserve which can only be used in a catastrophic event, major emergency, or in periods of severe fiscal crisis. The Assigned General Fund Balance of $53.6 million represents the Economic Uncertainty Reserve, CIP, and Infrastructure Replacement reserve. The Economic Uncertainty Reserve will be used during times of protracted recessionary periods. The Unassigned Reserve in this report shows a balance of $12.3 million. This amount is what can be used to allocate to other priorities for the City, and in fiscal year 2025 $10.1 million of the Unassigned Reserve has been allocated to increased expenditures in fiscal year 2025 for carryforward contracts ($1.0 million) and shifted to other reserves ($9.1 million). This leaves the balance of the Unassigned Reserve at $2.2 million. See Note 10 for further information.
Fund Balance Categories- General Fund
Local taxes, including property tax, sales taxes, transient occupancy tax, and business license taxes are the primary revenue source for the General Fund, constituting 74.1% of revenues in fiscal year 2024. These revenue sources are highly susceptible to economic fluctuations.

The General Fund revenues were $145.5 million in fiscal year 2024, a $3.1 million increase from fiscal year 2023 amount of $142.4 million. As discussed in detail under “The City’s Fund Financial Statements”, increase mainly came from property tax ($1.8 million), use of money and property ($6.6 million). Decreases came from miscellaneous ($7.2 million) and sales tax ($0.6 million) from the prior year. The decrease in miscellaneous was expected this year, as fiscal year 2023 had one-time revenues for a settlement and sale of property totaling $7 million. Adjusting for the one-time revenues in fiscal year 2023, ongoing miscellaneous revenue only had a decrease of $0.2 million in fiscal year 2024.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2024
The next table on the following page shows the original budget, final amended budget, and the actual results for fiscal year 2024. The original budget was amended to reflect the change in economic expectations between the adoption of the original and final budget. The variances computed are between the final budget and actual results.
General Fund property tax revenues increased because of increased assessed values and home sales from the previous fiscal year and came in right at expectation. Use of money and property was $4.6 million over budget, and this was due to the increased interest rates on investments and the improvement of the unrealized market value adjustment of nearly $3.5 million that is not budgeted. Sales tax came in under budget by $1.3 million as increased interest rates slowed consumer spending.
From an expenditure perspective, total expenditures and transfers out came under budget. Expenditures for most departments were under budget for fiscal year 2024 primarily due to vacant positions. Community Development, Police, General Government, and capital projects accounted for $11.1 million under budget. The other departments variances totaled $1.1 million under budget, with Fire being the only department over budget for Livermore only expenditures by $0.2 million due to higher-than-expected expenses in utilities for the year.

Low Income Housing Fund
This fund is established to account for the receipt and disbursement of in-lieu low-income housing impact fees collected from developers and used to finance affordable housing developed offsite. Fiscal year 2024 revenues increased by $2.1 million mostly from a large housing fee collected in the year, while expenditures increased by $0.2 million due to slightly more new housing loans or notes activity in the current year.
Restatement of Notes Receivable
During the year end audit in fiscal year 2023 the City, at the direction of the City’s auditor, reclassified low-income housing loans as assets and included low-income housing loans on the City’s balance sheet. The City compiled its loans, and as a result, a beginning balance restatement of the City’s housing notes receivables, totaling $45.4 million occurred. Over fiscal year 2024, the City’s Finance division and Housing and Human Services division completed a very thorough inventory of the housing related notes receivables ensuring that all known loans are recorded correctly based on probable collectability that considers length of loans and position of repayment related to residual receipts. Following the completion of this reconciliation of the housing related loans, the City’s notes receivable was restated again by ($6.5) million. Formal policy and procedures regarding issuance of loans is now in place to ensure proper recordation. Information on the City’s notes receivable balances can be found in Note 5 of the financial statements. For more information on the beginning balance restatement, please see Note 19.
Analysis of Major Enterprise Funds
Airport Fund
The Livermore Municipal Airport is a General Aviation Reliever Airport, which serves private, business and corporate tenants and customers. Airport revenues are primarily comprised of short and medium-term hangar and tie-down space rents as well as Fixed Base Operator (FBO) and approved non-aeronautical ground rents. The Airport leases 393 hangar units and has 134 aircraft tie-down spaces. Approximately 465 aircraft are currently based at the Airport and all hangar units are occupied.
Operating revenue of $3.7 million was comparable to the previous fiscal year. Operating expenses increased by $0.4 million due to higher cost of sales, salaries, and benefits.
Net nonoperating revenues increased by $0.5 million due to increases in investment income ($0.2M), federal grant ($0.2M), and rental of city owned property ($0.1M) revenues. The federal grant revenue is composed of Covid CARES Act funding.
Water Fund
The Water Enterprise purchases potable water from water wholesaler Zone 7 Water Agency, and then distributes the water to customers in the Livermore Municipal Water service area. The City’s municipal water service area has a combined residential and commercial customer base of approximately 10,600 water accounts. Each water bill consists of a flat rate City meter service charge based on the size of meter that is located at the property (fixed charge), a City consumption charge for water used at the property (variable charge), and pass-through of wholesale water charges.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2024
Water operating revenue increased by 6% from $17.4 million to $18.4 million. The combined annual Livermore Municipal Water and Zone 7 rate increase was approximately 5%.
Operating expenses were $1 million higher compared to the prior year, primarily due to increases in the purchase of water from Zone 7. Net nonoperating revenues (expenses) increased by $1.4 million due to year end market value adjustment of the City’s investments.
Sewer Fund
The Sewer Enterprise is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and periodic replacement of the City’s sewer, collection system, wastewater treatment and recycled water production systems. It operates and maintains the Livermore Water Reclamation Plant, which provides wastewater treatment and disposal, and produces recycled water for landscape irrigation and other uses. The Plant currently treats approximately 5.3 million gallons of wastewater each day from throughout the Livermore area.
The Sewer Fund’s net operating income was $4.6 million in the current fiscal year compared to $4.9 million in fiscal year 2023. Operating revenues were $1.4 million higher in the current year, primarily due to an increase in sewer rates. Revenue is expected to continue to rise as the City Council approved a comparable rate increase for the next fiscal year. Operating expenses of $26.4 million experienced a 7% increase from $24.7 million in the prior year. The increase is due to increases in cost of sales, salaries and benefits expenses and contracted services expense. The contracted services expense increase of $0.7 million was due to higher LAVWMA operations and maintenance expenditures.
Nonoperating revenues (expenses) increased by $7.5 million due to year end market value adjustment of the City’s investments ($3.1 increase) and change in value in the JPA-LAVWMA investment ($4.4 million.) LAVWMA is a joint venture that operates the export pipeline connecting with the East Bay Discharges Authority’s systems and discharges treated wastewater into San Francisco Bay.
Stormwater Fund
The Stormwater Enterprise is responsible for costs associated with the implementation of the City’s stormwater management and discharge control program along with the operation and periodic replacement of the stormwater conveyance system. Operating revenues of $1.2 million remained flat while operating expenses rose by $2.1 million.
The main driver behind the operating expenses increase was capital improvement program repair and maintenance which was $2.1 million higher than previous fiscal year. These expenditures consisted of repair projects related to 2023 major storm events.
Transfers in, composed of a transfer from the General Fund, rose by $1.2 million from $2.3 million to $3.5 million.

Capital Assets
GASB 34 requires the City to record all its capital assets including infrastructure. Infrastructure includes roads, bridges, signals, and similar assets used by the entire population. The City depreciates all its capital assets over their estimated useful lives, as required by GASB 34. The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of a capital asset over the years of its useful life so that an allocable portion of the cost of the asset is borne by all users.
The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2024, amounts to $560.0 million (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings, machinery, equipment, vehicles, roads, highways, and the water reclamation plant. At the end of fiscal years 2024 and 2023, the cost of capital assets recorded on the City’s financial statements was as shown in the table as following.

The outstanding debt in the current fiscal year decreased by $5.4 million for the governmental activities and decreased by $0.5 million for business type activities. The $5.9 million total decrease in debt is due to continued payments and amortization of premiums on the 2020 and 2022 COPS, as well as other debt payments. Refer to note 8 for further information.
Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget
The economic factors affecting the City and its long-term financial plan are discussed in detail in the accompanying Transmittal Letter.
The total appropriation for fiscal year 2025 is $363.5 million for all City activities, including allocations to fund balance reserves. The fiscal year 2025 budget continues to provide resources for the City’s long-term obligations, including fleet and information technology replacement needs, capital improvements, and other post-employment benefits.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2024
Property tax revenue in fiscal year 2025 is projected to be $48.6 million, an increase of 4.3%, or $2.0 million, compared to current year’s budgeted revenue as property values are expected to continue to rise because of additional development and increased property value. Sales tax is projected to be $41.9 million, an increase of 2.6%, or $1.1 million, for the next fiscal year compared to the current year’s budgeted revenue. The City will evaluate the local economic conditions as well as the City’s portfolio of the sales tax producers, and revise the sales tax forecast in next budget cycle, as appropriate. Use of money and property is projected to be $7.1 million, an increase of
23.7%, or $1.4 million compared to fiscal year 2024’s budgeted revenue as interest rates rose causing increases to investment income. Other revenues have also been projected slightly upwards to reflect anticipated increase in demand for services.
The General Fund budget for fiscal year 2025 provides $148.8 million in resources, and $164.5 million in uses, including $7.7 million for the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The Proposed Financial Plan Update shows a General Fund budget shortfall of $15.7 million in fiscal year 2025 that will require use of capital reserves to fund $13.5 million in capital projects in fiscal year 2025, $1.4 million for contracts carried forward from fiscal year 2024, and $1.1 million of reserves for Police wage increases.
The General Fund’s operating expenditures are projected to grow by $7.6 million to $141.1 million from fiscal year 2024 budgeted expenditures of $133.5 million with anticipated increases in employment-related costs, consulting services and other costs associated with the capital projects.
The fund balance for the General Fund at the end of operations for fiscal year 2025 is estimated at $83.6 million with $43.0 million in reserves and $5.4 million in spendable fund balance available for appropriations, excluding capital reserves.

Statement of Net Position and Activities
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities summarize the entire City’s financial activities and financial position. They are prepared on the same basis as is used by most businesses, which means they include all the City’s assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, and deferred inflows as well as all its revenues and expenses. This is known as the full accrual basis—the effect of all the City’s transactions is considered, regardless of whether or when cash changes hands, but all material internal transactions between City funds have been eliminated.
The Statement of Net Position reports the City’s total assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, deferred outflows of resources and includes all the City’s capital assets and all its long-term obligations. The Statement of Net Position presents similar information in a way that focuses the reader on the composition of the City’s Net Position, by subtracting total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources from total assets and deferred outflows of resources.
The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of the entire City’s Governmental Activities in a single column and the financial position of the entire City’s Business-Type Activities in a single column. These columns are followed by a Total column that presents the financial position of the entire City.
The City’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special Revenue, Capital Projects, and Debt Service Funds. Since the City’s Internal Service Funds service these Funds, their activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after eliminating inter-fund transactions and balances. The City’s Business- Type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities and a portion of the Internal Services Funds.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the City’s Net Position. It is also prepared on the full accrual basis, which means it includes all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, regardless of when cash changes hands. This differs from the “modified accrual” basis used in the governmental Fund financial statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, measurable and available revenues, and expenditures.
The format of the Statement of Activities presents the City’s expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with the expenses of its business-type activities. Program revenues—that is, revenues which are generated directly by these programs—are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each governmental and business-type program. The City’s general revenues are then listed in the Governmental Activities or Business-type Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
Both these Statements include the financial activities of the City as well as the Livermore Capital Projects Financing Authority, which is a legally separate but is a component unit of the City because it is controlled by the City, which is financially accountable for its activities.
These financial statements along with the fund financial statements and notes are called Basic Financial Statements.

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
Year Ended June 30, 2024
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS 7,278,385$ Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because of the following:
CAPITAL ASSETS TRANSACTIONS
Governmental Funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is capitalized and allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
The capital outlay asset addition expenditures are therefore added back to fund balance 21,114,678 Depreciation expense is deducted from the fund balance
(Depreciation expense is net of internal service fund depreciation of $2,004,933 which has already been allocated to internal service funds.) (12,189,300)
LONG TERM DEBT PROCEEDS AND PAYMENTS
Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but in the Statement of Net Position the repayment reduces long-term liabilities.
Premium on issuance recognized (16,632)
Repayment of debt principal is added back to fund balance 3,974,418 Payment of principal on Subscription-based IT arrangements 763,280 Amortization of premium on long-term debt 584,173
ACCRUAL OF NON-CURRENT ITEMS
The amounts below included in the Statement of Activities do not provide or (require) the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as revenue or expenditures in governmental funds (net change):
Long-term compensated absences (886,827)
Interest payable 81,384
Unavailable revenue (1,573,498)
Change in equity in JPA (374,675)
Governmental funds report City pension and OPEB contributions as expenditures. However in the Statement of Activities, the cost of pension and OPEB benefits earned net of employee contributions is reported as pension expense and OPEB expense.
Deferred outflow of resources related to pension (3,080,936) Deferred inflow of resources related to pension 3,150,275 Change in net pension liability (8,609,202)

ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ACTIVITY
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as equipment acquisition, maintenance, and insurance to individual funds. The portion of the net revenue (expense) of these Internal Service Funds arising out of their transactions with governmental funds is reported with governmental activities, because they service those activities.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
The City of Livermore was incorporated on April 1, 1876. The City operates under the Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services: public safety (police and fire), highways and streets, sewer, water, public improvements, planning and zoning, general administration services and housing services.
The accounting policies of the City conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as applicable to governments. The following is a summary of these policies:
Reporting Entity
The accompanying basic financial statements present the financial activity of the City, which is the primary government presented, along with the financial activities of its component units, which are entities for which the City is financially accountable. Although they are separate legal entities, blended component units are in substance part of the City’s operations and are reported as an integral part of the City’s financial statements. The City’s blended component unit is described below.
Component Units Included in the Reporting Entity
The Livermore Capital Projects Financing Authority (LCPFA) provides financing assistance to the City. The Authority is controlled by the City and has the same governing body as the City, which also performs all accounting and administrative functions for the Authority. Separate financial statements are not issued for the LCPFA.
Basis of Presentation
The City’s basic financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States of America.
These Standards require that the financial statements described below be presented.
Government-wide Statements The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the City. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non-exchange transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental activities.
Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and activities.
EXHIBIT A

38 City of Livermore
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational needs of a particular program and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category—governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary—are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as non-major funds.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from exchange transactions associated with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise funds, and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation of capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities.
Major Funds
The City’s major governmental and business-type funds are identified and presented separately in the fund financial statements. All other funds, called non-major funds, are combined, and reported in a single column, regardless of their fund-type.
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their fund-type total and five percent of the grand total. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
General Fund – The general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Low Income Housing Special Revenue Fund – Established to account for the receipt and disbursement of in-lieu low- income housing impact fees collected from developers.
The City reported the following business-type funds as major funds in the accompanying financial statements.
Airport Fund – Established to account for the operations of the Livermore Municipal Airport.

39 City of Livermore
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
Water Fund – Established to account for the operations of the municipal water service. Services are rendered on a user charge basis and impact fees are collected for future water storage needs.
Sewer Fund – Established to account for operations of the wastewater disposal plant, the export pipeline, impact fees collected for sewer connections, and urban runoff fees.
Stormwater Fund – Established to account for operations of the storm water operations and impact fees collected for storm drain infrastructure.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds – These funds are used to account for the financing of services and supplies provided by one City department to another on a cost-reimbursement basis. The City operates the Liability Insurance Reserve Fund, Workers Compensation Fund, Fleet and Equipment Services Fund, Information Technology Fund, and Facilities Rehabilitation Projects Fund.
Fiduciary Funds – These funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for various functions. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the City-wide financial statements but are presented in separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements. The City has the following three types of fiduciary funds:
Successor Agency to the Livermore Redevelopment Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund – Established for the assets received from the City’s former redevelopment agency in order to liquidate its enforceable obligations, pursuant to Assembly Bill X1 26 which dissolved redevelopment agencies in California as of January 31, 2012.
Funds received from the county to pay off enforceable obligations are held in this fund.
Custodial Funds – Established to account for assets held by the City in a purely custodial capacity. Custodial funds typically involve only the receipt, temporary investment, and remittance of fiduciary resources to individuals, private organizations, or other governments. Custodial Funds account for activities carried out exclusively for the benefit of that outside of the City but not administered through other fiduciary trusts or equivalent arrangements such as assessments for payments of certain conduit debt and other custodial activities as well as custodial activities related to the Livermore Pleasanton Fire District, JPA.
Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be determined and available means the amount is collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City’s accrual period is sixty days after year end. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund liability has incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, pension and other postemployment benefits liabilities, and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Thus, such amounts are not current liabilities as their settlement will not require expenditures of existing fund assets.
Financial resources usually are appropriated in other funds for transfer to a debt service fund in the period in which maturing debt principal and interest must be paid. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under financed purchases are reported as other financing sources.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period.
Entitlements are recorded as revenues when all eligibility requirements are met, including any time requirements, and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source. Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been met, and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source. All other revenue items including fines, license, and permits are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
The proprietary and fiduciary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting.
Cash and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are combined with investments and displayed as Cash and Investments.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools, highly liquid market investments with maturities of one year or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. The City participates in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), an investment pool managed by the State of California which invests a portion of the pooled funds in Structured Notes and Asset-backed Securities. LAIF’s investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing these investments.

In addition, these Structured Notes and Asset-backed Securities are subject to market risk due to change in interest rates. For purposes of the statement of cash flows of the proprietary funds types, cash and cash equivalents include all investments, as the City operates an internal cash management pool which maintains the general characteristics of a demand deposit account.
Restricted Cash and Investments
Restricted cash and investments include amounts held by fiscal agents for the redemption of bonded debt and for acquisition and construction of capital projects, for deposits held for others within the enterprise funds, and for amounts held in an irrevocable trust for pension activities.
Inventories and Prepaid items
Inventories are valued at cost on an average cost basis and consist of expendable supplies, fuel, and vehicle repair parts. The cost of such inventories is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
Receivables
During the course of normal operations, the City carries various receivable balances that are shown net of allowances for doubtful accounts for taxes, interest, services, utilities and special assessments.
Notes Receivable
For the purposes of the governmental fund financial statements, expenditures related to long-term notes arising from subsidy programs are charges to operations upon funding and the notes are recorded with an offset to an unavailable revenue account under the deferred inflows of resources section. For the purposes of the government- wide financial statements, long-term loans are not offset by unavailable revenue accounts.
Leases and Subscription Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA) The City is a lessor for a noncancellable lease of a buildings, land and cell tower. The City recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the government‐wide and governmental and proprietary fund financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date.
Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.

Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts. • The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. • The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease, and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.
The City has several leasing arrangements accounted for under GASB No. 96, Subscriptions Based Information Technology Arrangements. At the commencement of a subscription based information technology arrangement (SBITA), the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of subscription payments made. The subscription asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the subscription liability, adjusted for subscription payments made at or before the subscription commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the subscription asset is amortized on a straight‐line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments include how the Town determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) lease receipts. Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its subscription and will remeasure the subscription if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription.
Subscription assets are reported with other capital assets and subscription liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the statement of net position.
Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position or governmental fund balance sheet reports a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
Pensions and Other Postemployment Benefits
For purposes of measuring the net pension and OPEB liabilities and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City of Livermore’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) pension and Public Agency Retirement System (PARS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS and PARS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.

Property Tax Levy, Collection and Maximum Rates
The State of California Constitution Article XIII(A) provides that the combined maximum property tax rate on any given property may not exceed one percent of its assessed value unless an additional amount for general obligation debt has been approved by voters. Assessed value is calculated at 100 percent of market value as defined by Article XIII(A), generally equivalent to the latest sale price, and may be increased by no more than two percent per year unless the property is sold or transferred. Assessed values may be reduced because of taxpayer-initiated re-assessments or declining sales prices. The State Legislature has determined the method of distribution of receipts from this tax levy among the counties, cities, school districts and other districts.
Secured property tax is due in two installments, on November 1 and February 1, and becomes a lien on those dates. It becomes delinquent on December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured property tax is due on July 1 and become delinquent on August 31.
The term "unsecured" refers to taxes on personal property other than real estate, land, and buildings, such as airplanes, boats, etc. These taxes are secured by liens on the property being taxed.
Revenue Recognition for Water and Sewer Operations
Revenues from residential sewer customers are based on annual billings collected on the tax rolls by Alameda County.
Revenues for sewer services provided but not billed at the end of the fiscal year are estimated and accrued.
Land Held for Redevelopment
Land held for redevelopment includes land parcels used to develop or redevelop blighted properties and are accounted for as investments on the balance sheet at the lower of cost or net realizable value or agreed-upon sales price if a disposition agreement has been made with a developer. Individual parcels which have experienced a market value decline are written down to estimated current market value. No appreciation is recorded if the current market value of an individual parcel exceeds cost.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Implementation of GASB Statement No. 100
As of July 1, 2024, the District adopted GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The implementation of this standard requires additional presentation and disclosure requirements for accounting changes and error corrections. The financial statements have been updated to conform to the presentation requirements related to the accounting change in the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024. The additional disclosures required by this standard are included in Note 19.

Budgeting Procedures
The City adopts a biennial operating budget on or before June 30 for each of the ensuing two fiscal years for all funds except the Fiduciary Funds. The operating budget takes the form of a two-year financial plan which is adopted in its entirety by the City Council by a resolution. A mid-period review is conducted in the off-year and appropriations are adjusted accordingly. The fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year.
As Livermore is a general law city, it is not subject to a budgetary process prescribed by statute or charter.
The operating budget is subject to supplemental appropriations throughout its term to provide flexibility to meet changing needs and conditions. A resolution approving a supplemental appropriation is necessary when the original total appropriations for that fund would be exceeded. Similarly, supplemental appropriations and budget transfers between funds and projects need approval from the City Council. Budget adjustments within the same fund may be approved by the City Manager if the total appropriation does not exceed the total approved limit for that fund. All appropriations and encumbrances lapse at year-end. Valid outstanding encumbrances (those for which performance under executory contract is expected in the next fiscal year) are re-appropriated and become part of the subsequent year’s budget.
The operating budget is on a program basis; however, the legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. For governmental funds, the budget is prepared on a modified accrual basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), except that land held for redevelopment is treated as an expenditure when purchased, proceeds from the disposition of this land is treated as revenue when measurable and available, and transfers (to) or from different fund categories are treated as budgetary resources (uses). Organizational priorities which have been developed by City Council and City staff are implemented at the program level.

Fund Balance Deficits / Net Position Deficits
As of June 30, 2024, none of the funds had a significant fund balance/net position deficit.
Note 3 - Cash and Investments
The City pools cash from all sources and all funds, except Cash and Investments held by Trustees, so that it can be invested at the maximum yield consistent with safety and liquidity, while individual funds can make expenditures at any time.
Policies
California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities with a market value of 110% of the City’s cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a market value of 150% of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law this collateral is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the City’s name and the City is placed ahead of general creditors of the institution.
The City invests in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual investments are evidenced by specific identifiable securities instruments, or by an electronic entry registering the owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system. In order to increase security, the City employs the Trust Department of a bank as the custodian of certain City managed investments, regardless of their form.
The City’s investments are carried at fair value, as required by generally accepted accounting principles. The City adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year.
Classification
Cash and investments are classified in the financial statements as shown below, based on whether or not their use is restricted under the terms of City debt instruments or Agency agreements.
Cash and investments in City Treasury 363,195,898$
Cash and investments with Trustees 24,566,464

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents how changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Normally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City generally manages its interest rate risk by holding investments to maturity.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity:

Local Agency Investment Fund
The City is a 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. The City reports its investment in LAIF at the fair value amount provided by LAIF, which is the same as the value of the pool share. The balance is available for withdrawal on demand and is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. Included in LAIF’s investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage- backed securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, and floating rate securities issued by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, United States Treasury Notes and Bills, and corporations.
These investments matured in an average of 287 days. Money Market funds were available for withdrawal on demand at June 30, 2024 with an average maturity of 30 days or less.

Fair Value Measurement of Investments
The City categorizes the fair value measurements of its investments based on the hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy, which has three levels, is based on the valuation inputs used to measure an asset's fair value. The following provides a summary of the hierarchy used to measure fair value:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the City has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets may include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market and that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets. • Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, such as interest rates and curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatilities, and credit spreads. For financial reporting purposes, if an asset has a specified term, a Level 2 input is required to be observable for substantially the full term of the asset. • Level 3 - Unobservable inputs should be developed using the best information available under the circumstances, which might include the City's own data. The City should adjust that data if reasonable available information indicates that other market participants would use different data or certain circumstances specific to the City are not available to other market participants.
The City's fair value measurements are as follows at June 30, 2024:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 6/30/2023

The California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is valued using a factor provided in the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) Performance Report by the State Treasurer's Office. Investments classified in Level 2, were valued using prices provided by the City’s custodian bank. Fair value is defined as quoted market value on the last day of the period.
The City issued Pleasant View Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2018 for and on behalf of Assessment District No.2016-2 in the amount of $967,537 on June 14, 2018, as a direct placement debt. The City also issued Trevarno Road Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2021 for and on behalf of Assessment District No.2021-1 in the amount of $912,000 on January 6, 2022, as a direct placement debt. The City then purchased these bonds as an investment. These investments are not traded in the open market and, therefore, measured at Level 3 as per GASB Statement No. 72 since the valuation inputs for this bond are unobservable. As of June 30, 2024, the balance outstanding for these bonds is $1,654,667. Additional information is provided in Note 9.
Note 4 - Interfund Transactions
Current Interfund Balances
Current interfund balances arise in the normal course of business and represent short-term borrowings occurring as a result of expenditures which are paid prior to the receipt of revenues. These balances are expected to be repaid shortly after the end of the fiscal year when revenues are received. There were no current amounts due from one fund to another at June 30, 2024.
Transfers between Funds
With Council approval, resources may be transferred from one City fund to another. The purpose of the majority of transfers is to subsidize operations of programs and funds which are not self-sustaining. Less often, a transfer may be made to open or close a fund. Interfund transfers for the year ended June 30, 2024 are summarized below.

Long-Term Interfund Advances
The City’s General Fund made an advance of $4,720,000 to the Other Impact Fees Special Revenue Fund for downtown revitalization and the loan will be repaid to the General Fund as the fees are collected. Payment of $287,800 was made during fiscal year 2023-2024. The balance as of June 30, 2024 is $3,586,595.
The City’s Sewer Fund made an advance of $500,000 to the General Fund for replacement of Livermore’s fire stations’ alerting system and the loan will be repaid to the Sewer Fund over five years. Payment of $100,000 was made during fiscal year 2023-2024. The balance as of June 30, 2024 is $400,000.
Internal Balances
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are payments in lieu of taxes where the amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the interfund services provided and other charges between the government’s airport, water, stormwater, and sewer functions and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Internal balances are presented in the government-wide financial statements only. They represent the net interfund receivables and payables remaining after the elimination of all such balances within governmental and business-type activities.

The former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) engaged in programs designed to encourage construction of or improvement to low-to-moderate income housing. Under these programs, loans are provided under favorable terms to homeowners or developers who agree to expend these funds in accordance with the Agency’s terms.
With the dissolution of the former Redevelopment Agency the City became the Successor to the former Redevelopment Agency’s housing activities and as a result, the Housing Successor Fund assumed the notes receivable of the former Redevelopment Agency’s Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund. The balances of the notes receivable in the Housing Successor Fund at June 30, 2024 are $6,697,750.
The City’s Low Income Housing Fund provides affordable rental housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. Funding is provided to the developers by subsidizing the acquisition, construction, and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing. Terms vary among notes with most ranging from 55 years to 65 years with the interest rate at 3%. The balances of the notes receivables at June 30, 2024 are $33,516,155.

Note 7 - Capital Assets
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available.
Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are valued at acquisition cost. Some capital assets may be acquired using Federal and State grant funds, or they may be contributed by developers or other governments. Generally accepted accounting principles requires that these contributions be accounted for as revenues at the time the capital assets are contributed.
The City’s policy is to capitalize infrastructure with a cost exceeding $100,000 and other capital assets with a cost exceeding $25,000 and with useful lives exceeding one year.
The City has recorded all its public domain (infrastructure) capital assets, which include roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems in its government–wide financial statements.
All capital assets with limited useful lives are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of capital assets equitably among all users over the life of the assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year represents that year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets.
Depreciation of all capital assets is charged as an expense against operations each year and the total amount of depreciation taken over the years, called accumulated depreciation, is reported on statement of Net Position as a reduction in the book value of the capital assets.
Depreciation of capital assets in service is provided using the straight-line method which means the cost of the asset is divided by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is fully depreciated. The City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets.

Note 9 - Special Assessment District Debt with No City Commitment Special assessment districts, including Mello Roos Districts, exist in various parts of the City to provide improvements to properties located in those districts. Properties are assessed for the cost of improvements; these assessments are payable over the term of the debt issued to finance the improvements and must be sufficient to repay this debt. The City acts solely as the collecting and paying agent for the special assessment district debt issues below, but it has no direct or contingent liability or moral obligation for the payment of this debt. This debt is not included in the general debt of the City. The outstanding balance of each of these issues as of June 30, 2024 is as follows:

Note 10 - Net Position and Fund Balances
Net Position is measured on the full accrual basis, while Fund Balance is measured on the modified accrual basis. Net Position is the excess of all the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources over all its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, regardless of fund. Net Position is divided into three captions. These captions apply only to Net Position, which is determined only at the Government-wide level, and are described below:
Net Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of Net Position which is represented by the current net book value of the City’s capital assets, 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 restrictions principally include developer fees received for use on capital projects and debt service requirements.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted as to use.
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 policy to consider restricted-net position to have been depleted before unrestricted-net position is applied.
Fund Balances
Governmental fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net current assets generally represent a fund’s cash and receivables, less its liabilities. The City’s fund balances are classified in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 54 (GASB 54), Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, which requires the City to classify its fund balances based on spending constraints imposed on the use of resources.
Each category in the following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint:
Non-spendables represents balances set aside to indicate items do not represent available, spendable resources even though they are a component of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained intact, such as Permanent Funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids, notes receivable, and land held for redevelopment are included. However, if proceeds realized from the sale or collection of non-spendable assets are restricted, committed or assigned, then non-spendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for a specific purpose.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. The City Council is the highest level of decision-making authority for the City that can, by adoption of a resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the resolution remains in place until a similar action is taken to remove or revise the limitation.
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed through Council resolution and/or budget document or its designee (City Manager) and may be changed at the discretion of the City Council or its designee. This category includes Non-spendables, when it is the City’s intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific purpose, and residual fund balances, if any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds which have not been restricted or committed.

Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned. This includes the residual general fund balance and residual fund deficits, if any, of other governmental funds.
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance.
Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.

Minimum Operating Reserve Policy
On June 13, 2016 the City adopted a resolution to update the City’s Fund Balance Policy. Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Funds have no minimum funding levels due to the nature of the funds. The minimum funding levels of the policy are highlighted below.
General Fund
The Committed General Fund Financial Stabilization Operating Reserve minimum funding level is 15% of operating expenditures plus debt service transfers to be used in a catastrophic event or in a major emergency or in periods of severe fiscal crisis. The Assigned General Fund Economic Uncertainty Reserve minimum funding level is 13.5% of operating expenditures plus debt service transfers to be used during times of severe economic distress such as protracted recessionary periods. State raids on local resources, or other impactful unforeseen events which greatly diminish the financial ability of the City to deliver core services. The Unassigned General Fund balance minimum funding level is 1.5% of operating expenditures plus outgoing debt service transfers.
Enterprise Funds
The Airport and Water Funds’ unrestricted net position minimum balance is 12.5% (or 45 days’ worth of working capital) and 33% (or 120 days’ worth of working capital) of operating expenditures plus debt service requirements respectively. The Sewer Fund is recommended to maintain an unrestricted Net Position minimum balance of 50% of their operating budget plus debt service requirements.
Internal Service Funds
Liability Insurance and Workers Compensation Funds are recommended to fully fund actuarially determined claim obligations at a minimum at the seventy percent (70%) confidence level. The City will strive to fully fund actuarially determined claim obligations at the 90% confidence level.
The Fleet Services, Information Technology and Facilities Rehabilitation Funds are recommended to keep 12.5% of operating expenses as minimum unrestricted net position balance.

1. General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Descriptions – All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City’s separate Safety (Police) cost-sharing and Miscellaneous (all other) agent multiple-employer defined benefit plans (Plans), administered by the CalPERS. The Miscellaneous Plans are an agent multiple employer defined benefit pension plans administered by CalPERS, which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers. Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
The City’s Safety Plans became part of a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plan administered by CalPERS, commonly referred to as a risk pool, as of the actuarial valuation date of June 30, 2003. Risk pools exist for employers with less than 100 active plan members.
The City has three retirement benefit tiers in the Plans. Membership in the first tier of the retirement system is closed to new employees hired on or after December 31, 2012. The second tier was adopted by the City in November 2012 for all employees hired December 31, 2012. The third tier was adopted by the City effective January 1, 2013 pursuant to State Assembly Bill 340.
The net pension liabilities will be liquidated primarily from the general fund, approximately 80%, with the remaining amounts from the Airport, Water, Sewer, Stormwater, and internal service funds.
2. Benefits Provided and Actuarial Assumptions
CalPERS provides service and disability retirement benefits, cost of living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full-time employment. Members with five years of total credited service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. Members may apply for a non-duty disability retirement benefit after 5 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: The Basic Death Benefit, the 1959 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.

Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers 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 both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The City must contribute these amounts. 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.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the contributions recognized as part of pension expense for the Plans were as follows:
Miscellaneous1 Safety Police1 Total
Contributions - employer 11,614,520$ 6,837,202$ 18,451,722$ 1 All Tiers of the Miscellaneous and Safety Police plans were combined together on GASB 68 report by CalPERS.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2022 valuation were based on the results of the 2019 CalPERS Experience Study for the period 2001 to 2019. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS considered both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long- term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long- term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses. The table below reflects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class.

Funding Policy and Actuarial Assumptions
The actuarially determined contribution (ADC) to the OPEB plan was determined as part of a June 30, 2023 actuarial valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost method. This is a projected benefit cost method, which takes into account those benefits that are expected to be earned in the future as well as those already accrued. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 6.25% investment rate of return, (b) 2.75% projected annual salary increase, and (c) 2.50% general inflation rate and (d) health inflation decreases ranging from 3.45%-8.5%. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to revision at least biannually as results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
In accordance with the City’s budget, the actuarially determined contribution (ADC) is to be funded throughout the year as a percentage of payroll. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the City joined the Public Agencies Post- Retirement Health Care Plan, a multiple employer trust administered by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS).
During current fiscal year, the City made $4,406,083 in the form of pay-as-you-go payments. This trust is not considered a component unit by the City and has been excluded from these financial statements. Separately issued financial statements for PARS may be obtained from PARS at 4350 Von Karman Ave., Suite 200, Newport Beach, CA 92660.

Post-employment healthcare and similar benefit allowances are provided to eligible employees who retire from the City or to their surviving spouses. As noted in the table above in Note 11B(ii), there were 320 participants receiving these healthcare benefits as of June 30, 2024. Refer to the table on the previous page for the contractual maximum contribution rates for the eligible employees depending upon their association with specific bargaining groups.
Contribution Information
PARS establish rates for each employer based on an actuarially determined rate for each employer. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City’s average contribution rate was 20.5 percent of covered-employee payroll. Plan members are not required to contribute to the plan.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City contributed $4,406,083 in relation to the actuarially determined contribution in the form of pay-as-you-go payments.
Investment Policy
PARS offer different investment portfolios as part of the investment vehicle. The City invests in “Capital Appreciation” portfolio; the primary goal of the Capital Appreciation objective is growth of principal. The major portions of the assets are invested in the equity securities and market fluctuations are expected. The portfolio is constructed to control risk through four layers of diversification – asset classes (cash, fixed income, equity), investment styles (large cap, small cap, international, value, growth), managers and securities. Disciplined mutual fund selections and monitoring helps to drive return potential while reducing portfolio risk.

The discount rates used to measure the total OPEB liability were 6.25%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB 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 OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

The City joined a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement with CalPFA to issue bonds or other debt that constitute “qualified residential rental project bonds” under Section 142 (a)(7) and Section 142 (d) of the Internal Revenue Code in an amount not-to-exceed $55,000,000 for the purpose of financing or refinancing the acquisition and construction of Ageno Apartments. CalPFA is responsible for all the reporting and monitoring components and the City has no post issuance obligations. The City’s name does not appear on any legal documents. Since the JPA is a separate legal entity, the City has no liability exposure. Additionally, the City has no ongoing obligation to the JPA, unless the City wishes to issue bonds for another development project through the JPA.
Financial statements may be obtained from the California Public Finance Authority website, http://www.calpfa.org/general-information/audits-transaction-reports or from California Public Finance Authority, 2999 Oak Road Suite 710, Walnut Creek, CA 94597.
East Bay Community Energy (EBCE)
This authority formed in October 2016 by a joint exercise of power agreement between the County of Alameda and the Cities of Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin for the purpose of purchasing energy on a community-wide basis by pooling the buying power of the individuals within their jurisdictions. Involvement in the JPA gives opportunities to the City for gaining greater local involvement over the provision of electricity supply services, competitive electric rates, the development of local renewable energy projects, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and the wider implementation of energy conservation and efficiency projects and programs.

Stopwaste
This authority formed in 1976 by a joint exercise of power agreement between the County of Alameda, all fourteen cities located within the County along with two sanitary districts for the purpose of reducing waste in Alameda County.
A representative from each Member Agency serves on the Alameda County Waste Management Authority Board. The Alameda County Waste Management Authority provides solid waste planning, projects and initiatives to increase recycling and reduce waste by residents, businesses and schools. Funding is provided by waste-related fees. Some projects for reduction of waste include the Green Building in Alameda County program, curbside residential food scrap recycling and the reusable bag ordinance. These programs have reduced construction waste, increased use of recycled building materials, produced food scrap composting and reduced the number of plastic bags in the County landfills.

Note 15 - General Liability and Workers Compensation Coverage Risk Management
The City of Livermore is self-insured for general liability claims up to a self-insured retention (SIR) of $750,000 per occurrence. It is a member of California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA), an excess insurance pool that provides coverage for each occurrence that exceeds the SIR. CJPRMA provides coverage up to $40,000,000 per occurrence. The first $7,500,000 layer is retained by CJPRMA and the subsequent seven layers totaling $32,500,000 are covered by reinsurance, purchased through their broker of record, Alliant. The City of Livermore contributed $1,512,794 to CJPRMA for liability coverage for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. The City of Livermore purchases a variety of insurance products from Aon, both through the CJPRMA pooled programs and directly. The City paid $353,716 directly to Aon, $808,688 to Alliant through CJPRMA for property insurance, and $102,710 for auto physical damage insurance to Alliant through CJPRMA.
The Local Agency Workers Compensation Excess Joint Powers Authority (LAWCX) covers workers compensation up to statutory limits. The City has a deductible or uninsured liability of up to $500,000 per claim. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City contributed $554,192 for program year coverage.
Each risk pool is governed by a Board consisting of representatives from member municipalities. The Board controls the operations of each risk pool, including selection of management and approval of operating budgets, independent of any influence by member municipalities beyond their representation on the Board. The City's contribution to each risk pool equals the ratio of the City's payroll to the total payrolls of all entities participating in the same layer of each program, in each program year. Actual surpluses or losses are shared according to a formula developed from overall loss costs and spread to member entities on a percentage basis after a retrospective rating. CJPRMA’s financial statements may be obtained by contacting CJPRMA at (925) 837-0667. LAWCX’s financial statements may be obtained by contacting LAWCX at (800) 541-4591.

This incentive program is expected to provide a stimulus to the City's economy, increase the tax base and create jobs. Each of the agreements entered into by the City, provides for a rebate of taxes paid to the City according to formulas contained in the agreements. These limited terms agreements provide for a sharing of the taxes (percentage rebates) above certain amounts with a maximum rebate not to exceed the cost of a business’ improvements and/or development impact fees. The City generally expects to receive increased revenue as a result of these agreements. These incentive agreements require approval by City Council.
For financial reporting purposes, the GASB Statement No. 77 defines a tax abatement as resulting from an agreement between a government and an individual or entity in which the government promises to forgo tax revenues and the individual or entity promises to subsequently take a specific action that contributes to economic development or otherwise benefits the government or its citizens. According to the GASB 77, the substance of these agreements meets the definition of “tax abatements” as the revenues received were not available for general municipal services purposes, but rather used to effectively reduce the net tax liability of certain taxpayers per the conditions of an agreement.
The taxes paid to the City are included in the revenue reported in these financial statements. The payments made to the businesses based upon the taxes paid are also included as expenditures in these financial statements. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, under this program the City has abatements of sales tax totaling $1,050,028.
Pursuant to the Sales and Use Tax law (chapter 8 – Article 1 – section 7056), in order to protect the confidential information of sales taxes collected and abatements provided to each of the specific agencies, the City has presented the aggregate amount abated during the current fiscal year.

Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies
The City is subject to litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of the City Attorney there is no pending litigation which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the City.
The City participates in several Federal and State grant programs. These programs have been audited by the City's independent accountants in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Single Audit Act amendments of 1996 and applicable State requirements. No cost disallowances were proposed as a result of these audits; however, these programs are still subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

Animal Shelter
The Cities of Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore and the County of Alameda reached an agreement under which Alameda County constructed an animal shelter facility on County property. Under the agreement the entities share in the debt service and operating costs of the project based on their use of the animal shelter. The City of Livermore paid $340,678 for its share of debt service and operating costs. The City’s portion of the project fluctuates based on actual usage and was 20% as of June 30, 2024.
Alameda County
During fiscal year 2014-15, Alameda County made a $2.8 million contribution necessary to affect the redemption and retirement of the 2006 Bankhead Theater bond and prepayment of 2006 loan and issuance of 2014 COP Series A. The City is obliged to return $2.8 million to Alameda County in the event the Bankhead Theater is sold. At present, the City does not have any intentions of selling the Theater.
Note 18 - Successor Agency Activities
The City of Livermore opted to become the Livermore Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency of Livermore as of January 9, 2012. Since February 1, 2012, the date of dissolution, the housing related assets and activities of the dissolved redevelopment agency are reported in the governmental Housing Successor Special Revenue Fund. The non-housing related assets and activities of the dissolved redevelopment agency are reported in the fiduciary Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund whose activities are subject to review and approval of the Oversight Board.
Long-Term Debt
The Successor Agency assumed the long-term debt of the Redevelopment Agency as of February 1, 2012. On August 1, 2001, the Redevelopment Agency issued $36,775,000 of 2001 Tax Allocation Bonds, Series A. Proceeds were used to refund the above outstanding Livermore Redevelopment Project 1986 Tax Allocation Bonds Series A, and to provide funds to finance various redevelopment activities within the Project Area.
Post Dissolution Assembly Bill 1484 permits the refunding of outstanding bonds of former redevelopment agencies if the total debt service (principal and interest) on the new refunding bonds is less than the total remaining debt service on the bonds being refunded (currently outstanding). The purpose for refunding redevelopment bonds is to reduce the interest rate, which lowers the annual tax increment required to make debt payments and increases the share of tax increment available to affected taxing entities.

In December 2016, the Successor Agency refinanced the 2001 Tax Allocation Bonds, Series A and issued two refunding bonds, 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series A (tax exempt) and Series B (taxable). The refinancing of this debt did not extend the August 1, 2032 final maturity date or provide additional proceeds for projects; however, the anticipated present value savings are more than $300,000 annually or approximately $4.9 million over the life of the refunding issue. The future annual debt savings will allow more funds to flow to the affected taxing entities, including the City. The table below presents the detail of activities during current fiscal year.

Commitments and Contingencies
The City and former Agency have entered into a variety of development agreements with third parties to provide needed improvements and projects. Activities under agreements for which there are continuing commitments are disclosed in the following paragraphs. Additionally, the City and Agency have other agreements that entitle them to collect certain loans or notes receivable which are disclosed in Note 5.
Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (LFROPs) In September 2018, the State Department of Finance (DOF) approved the Successor Agency’s Last and Final Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (LFROP). The Successor Agency will continue to receive property tax increment revenue to pay items listed on the LFROPs, without any objections by the DOF, until all obligations are paid off.
Loans between the LSA and the City
The Successor Agency paid off the remainder of the SERAF loan this year.
Note 19 - Restatement due to Change in Accounting Principle and Correction of an Error Correction of Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements During fiscal year 2024, the City determined that there were certain errors in amounts previously reported in the 2023 financial statements resulting in a restatement of the beginning net position and fund balance. The corrections relates to understated and in some instances overstated loans receivables. The effect of this correction is shown in under the line captioned as Loans Receivables. The loans receivable restatement had no impact on the change in net position or the change in fund balance of the prior year.
Change within the Reporting Entity
In addition, during fiscal year 2023-2024, there was a change within the financial reporting entity which resulted in the 2022 COPS Construction Capital Projects Fund being reported as a non-major governmental fund instead of a major governmental fund.
Change in Accounting Principle
The City changed its beginning and ending measurement dates of its net OPEB liability from June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively, to June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023 and therefore the City restated its beginning net position of its Governmental Activities, Business-Type activities the Airport, the Water, the Sewer, the Stormwater and the Internal Service funds as of July 1. The change in measurement date is preferable as the timing of issuance of audit reports from the plan administrator under the previous measurement date could result in delays in or untimely filing of the City audit. The OPEB expense amount reported on the financial statements in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 would have increased by $1,215,359, $218,341, $25,648, $40,011, $146,250, $6,432, $77,840, in the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the Airport fund, the Water fund, the Sewer fund, the Stormwater fund and the internal service fund, respectively, as a result of the change in the measurement date.

Internal Services Funds
June 30, 2024
Internal Service Funds
Internal service funds are used to account for the financing of services and supplies provided by one city department to another on a cost reimbursement basis.
The concept of major funds introduced by GASB 34 does not extend to internal service funds because they do not do business with outside parties. GASB 34 requires that for the Statement of Activities, the net revenues or expenses of each internal service fund be eliminated by netting against the operations of the other city departments which generated them. The remaining balance sheet items are consolidated with these same funds in the Statement of Net Position.
However, internal service funds are still presented separately in the Fund financial statements, including the funds below:
Liability Insurance Reserve
Established to account for the City’s public liability self-insured program.

Assessed Value and Estimated Taxable Property
Last Ten Fiscal Years
In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value of property may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is reassessed at the purchese price of the property sold.
The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.

Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.
Direct and Overlapping Governmental Activities Debt
As of June 30, 2024
The percentage of overlapping debt applicable to the city is estimated using taxable assessed property value. Applicable pecentages were estimated by determining the portion of the overlapping district's assessed value that is within the boundaries of the City divided by the district's total taxable assessed value.

Independent Auditor’s Report
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Livermore, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the Financial Statements of the Measure B Funds, a special revenue fund of the City of Livermore, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Measure B Funds of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of 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 opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements specific to Measure B are intended to present the financial position and the changes in financial position attributable to the transactions of that Fund. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2024, and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 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 the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of the financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 31, 2024, 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
All transactions of the Measure B Direct Local Distribution (DLD) funds of the City of Livermore, California (City) distributed by Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) - Measure B Program (Measure B Program), are combined with other ACTC fundings and reported as a separate special revenue fund in the basic financial statements of the City. The Measure B Program is used to account for the City’s share of DLD revenues earned and expenditures incurred under the City’s local streets and roads, and bike and pedestrian programs. The accompanying financial statements are for the Measure B Program only and are not intended to fairly present the financial position of the City and the results of its operations.
B. Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are generally recorded when measurable and available, and expenditures are recorded when the related liabilities are incurred.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a “current financial resources” measurement focus, wherein only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheets. Operating statements of governmental funds present increased (revenues and other financing sources) and decreased (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
C. Description of Funds
The accounts are maintained on the basis of fund accounting. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self- balancing set of accounts. The City uses Special Revenue Funds to account for the proceeds of specific revenues (other than for capital projects) that are legally restricted to be expended for specified purposes.
D. Capital Assets
Capital assets, consisting primarily of infrastructure, are recorded as expenditures and are not capitalized since they will be maintained by the City.
E. Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash and investments are maintained on a pooled basis with those of other funds of the City. Pooled cash and investments consist of U.S. Treasury or its agencies, money market funds investing in such obligations, medium term corporate notes that meet specified rating requirements, and the State Treasurer’s investment pool (Local Agency Investment Fund). All investments are stated at fair value. Pooled investment earnings are allocated based on the average cash and investment balances of the various funds and related entities of the City.
See the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for disclosures related to cash and investments and the related custodial risk categorization.
NOTE 3 – MEASURE B PROGRAM
Under Measure B, approved by the voters of Alameda County in 2000, the City receives a portion of the proceeds of an additional on-half cent sales tax to be used for transportation-related expenditures. This measure was adopted with the intention that the funds generated by the additional sales tax will not fund expenditures previously paid by property taxes but, rather, would be used for additional projects and programs.
Projects funded by Measure B 2000 were as follows:
Local Streets and Roads - To improve, repair, and overlay city streets.
Bike and Pedestrian - To provide sidewalk and ADA improvements and to implement the bikeway network.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable City Council
City of Livermore, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the Measure B Funds (Fund) of the City of Livermore, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and have issued our report thereon dated Report December 31, 2024.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Measure B Fund's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements including the applicable compliance requirements specified in the Measure B agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission, and noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Livermore, California
Report on Compliance
Opinion on Compliance with Measure B
We have audited the City of Livermore, California (City) compliance with the compliance requirements applicable to the Measure B Funds (Measure B Funds) of the City of Livermore, California (City), for the year ended June 30, 2024.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that are applicable to the Measure B Funds for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance 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 (Government Auditing Standards) issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s government programs.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, and Government Auditing Standards will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of the government program as a whole.
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 noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
• Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a compliance requirement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the "Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance" section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not

identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that have not been identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Opinion
We have audited the Financial Statements of the Measure BB Funds, a special revenue fund of the City of Livermore, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
All transactions of the Alameda County Transportation Commission - Measure BB Funds (Measure BB Funds) of the City of Livermore, California (City), are included as a separate special revenue fund in the basic financial statements of the City. The Measure BB Funds are used to account for the City’s share of revenues earned and expenditures incurred under the City’s local streets and roads, and bike and pedestrian programs. The accompanying financial statements are for the Measure BB Funds only and are not intended to fairly present the financial position of the City and the results of its operations.
B. Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are generally recorded when measurable and available, and expenditures are recorded when the related liabilities are incurred.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus.
All governmental funds are accounted for using a “ current financial resources ” measurement focus, wherein only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheets. Operating statements of governmental funds present increased (revenues and other financing sources) and decreased (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
C. Description of Funds
The accounts are maintained on the basis of fund accounting. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. The City uses Special Revenue Funds to account for the proceeds of specific revenues (other than for capital projects) that are legally restricted to be expended for specified purposes.
D. Capital Assets
Capital assets, consisting primarily of infrastructure, are recorded as expenditures and are not capitalized since they will be maintained by the City.
E. Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash and investments are maintained on a pooled basis with those of other funds of the City. Pooled cash and investments consist of U.S. Treasury or its agencies, money market funds investing in such obligations, negotiable certificates of deposit, commercial paper and medium term corporate notes that meet specified rating requirements, mutual funds, guaranteed investment contracts, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements when authorized by the City’s Council, the State Treasurer’s investment pool (Local Agency Investment Fund), and banker's acceptances. The City did not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements during 2023-2024. All investments are stated at fair value. Pooled investment earnings are allocated quarterly based on the average quarterly cash and investment balances of the various funds are related entities of the City.
See the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for disclosures related to cash and investments and the related custodial risk categorization.
NOTE 3 – MEASURE BB FUNDS
Under Measure BB, approved by the voters of Alameda County in 2014, the City receives a portion of the proceeds of an additional 0.5 percent sales tax to be used for transportation-related expenditures. These measures were adopted with the intention that the funds generated by the additional sales tax will not fund expenditures previously paid by property taxes but, rather, would be used for additional projects and programs.
Projects funded by Measure BB 2014 were as follows:
Local Streets and Roads - To improve, repair, and overlay city streets.
Bike and Pedestrian - To provide sidewalk and ADA improvements and to implement the bikeway network.
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The City participates in several grant programs. These programs have been audited by the City’s independent accountants in accordance with the provisions of applicable State requirements. No cost disallowances were proposed as a result of these audits; however, these programs are still subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable City Council
City of Livermore, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the Measure BB Funds (Measure BB Funds) of the City of Livermore, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and have issued our report thereon dated Report December 31, 2024.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Fund's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Measure BB Fund's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements including the applicable compliance requirements specified in the Measure BB agreement between the City and Alameda County Transportation Commission, and noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Livermore, California
Report on Compliance
Opinion on Compliance with Measure BB
We have audited the City of Livermore, California (City) compliance with the compliance requirements applicable to the Measure BB Funds (Measure BB Funds) of the City of Livermore, California (City), for the year ended June 30, 2024.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that are applicable to the Measure BB Funds for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance 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 (Government Auditing Standards) issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s government programs.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, and Government Auditing Standards will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of the government program as a whole.
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 noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
• Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a compliance requirement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the "Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance" section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material

weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that have not been identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council of the
City of Livermore, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the Financial Statements of the Measure F Funds, a special revenue fund of the City of Livermore, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Measure F Funds of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of 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 opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements specific to Measure F are intended to present the financial position and the changes in financial position attributable to the transactions of that Fund. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2024, and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 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 the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of the financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 31, 2024, 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.
