DATE:

TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:
Resolution authorizing execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with Alameda County Transportation Commission and Construction and Maintenance Agreements with Union Pacific Railroad and Alameda County Transportation Commission for the construction of the L Street and Junction Avenue railroad crossings as part of the Rail Safety Enhancement Program – Phase A Project of Alameda County Transportation Commission and Livermore SM2025-22.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) for construction of the L Street and Junction Avenue railroad crossings as part of the Rail Safety Enhancement Program – Phase A Project of Alameda CTC and Livermore SM202522, a Construction and Maintenance (C&M) agreement with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and Alameda CTC for L Street, and a C&M Agreement with UPRR and Alameda CTC for Junction Avenue.
DECISION TYPE
Administrative
SUMMARY
Alameda CTC is the Project Sponsor and Implementing Agency for the Rail Safety Enhancement Program – Phase A (RSEP-A) Project. The RSEP-A Project will construct at-grade crossing pedestrian and roadway safety improvements at 26 at-grade crossings and 2 trespass locations throughout Alameda County, including the L Street and Junction Avenue at-grade crossings in the City of Livermore.
Attachment 1 shows the locations of the Livermore crossings. The construction MOU and 2 C&M Agreements are required for Alameda CTC to complete the Right-of-Way Certification allowing Alameda CTC to obtain grant funding for construction.
DISCUSSION
15 The RSEP-A Project addresses an urgent safety need along several Alameda County rail corridors and was developed as an outgrowth from the 2016 Countywide Goods Movement Plan and the 2018 Rail Strategy Study which prioritized at-grade crossings in Alameda County. RSEP-A will install proven safety measures recommended by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as the safety regulatory agency, UPRR and the local jurisdiction and aims to achieve the following objectives:
Improve safety for all users by reducing trespass collisions at railroad crossings Improve safety of rail operations
Improve efficiency and reliability of freight operations Close gaps and remove barriers in multimodal transportation network Encourage shift to active transportation modes
The proposed improvements at the Livermore at-grade crossings at L Street and Junction Avenue include the following elements:
New concrete track panels required for the added pedestrian infrastructure Upgraded train-activated vehicle gate arms and flashing light signals New train-activated pedestrian gate arms and flashing light signals Manual emergency swing gates
Upgraded advance railroad warning pavement markings and signage New sidewalk
New railing for pedestrians
Detectable warning surfaces to alert people with disabilities Fencing to prevent trespassing in a dangerous train environment Median islands to prevent driving around activated gates during a train event Street lighting upgrades
RSEP-A has secured $80 million of external grant funding for the construction phase [$25 million from the Federal Railroad Administration’s Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program, $25 million from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Regional Measure 3 Program and $30 million from the California Transportation Commission’s (CTC) Senate Bill 1 Trade Corridor Enhancement Program]. RSEP-A will be delivered in multiple-phased construction packages and will use the alternative Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) delivery method which allows for early contractor engagement and a streamlined construction procurement process.
The grade crossings in the City of Livermore and the City of Hayward are part of the first construction package. Alameda CTC has awarded the Construction Management contract to WSP USA, Inc., and a pre-construction services contract for CM/GC services with Clark Construction. Alameda CTC is working with City of Livermore staff before and during construction to provide sufficient noticing and coordination with transit operators, stakeholders and the public. Securing funding from the external agencies is required to award the construction phase of the contract. Alameda CTC anticipates the following project milestones for Package 1 of RSEP-A:
Right-of-Way Certification – March 2026
Ready to List – March 2026
CTC Meeting to Construction Funding – May 2026
Award Construction Contract – June 2026
End Construction for Livermore crossings – June 2027
16 The MOU with Alameda CTC defines the respective roles and responsibilities between the agencies during the construction phase. The C&M Agreements with UPRR and Alameda CTC define the construction and maintenance roles and responsibilities between the agencies. UPRR is responsible for constructing the track panel and signal work within UPRR right-of-way. Alameda CTC is responsible for all costs associated with UPRR’s construction work which includes constructing the concrete track panels and vehicle and pedestrian gate signals and license fees since the project requires additional UPRR right-of-way for the improvements. The City of Livermore is responsible for making annual payments to UPRR for maintenance of improvements by UPRR between the track tie ends and for maintenance of the new improvements outside the track tie ends after the project is constructed.
These agreements are necessary for Alameda CTC to complete the Right-of-Way Certification which is a required document to achieve Ready-to-List and secure funding for construction from the CTC.
Therefore, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary agreements required for construction of the RSEP-A Project.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
Funding for the Railroad Crossings at Junction Avenue and L Street Project SM202522 is included in the 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), with $40,000 of Gas Tax Fund 560 in Fiscal Year 2025- 26, $80,000 of Gas Tax Fund 560 in Fiscal Year 2026-27, and $40,000 of Gas Tax Fund 560 in Fiscal Year 2027-28. As Alameda CTC is the project sponsor and the implementing agency, the funding included in the Livermore 2025-2030 CIP is just for supporting services from City of Livermore staff such as design review and construction inspections. No additional appropriations are necessary for the project.
However, as indicated in the C&M Agreements, effective as of three years from effective date of the Agreements or the date of installation and/or the in-service date of the new and/or improved or existing Grade Crossing Signal System, the City of Livermore is responsible to pay UPRR $3,125 per year per crossing, for a total of $6,250, payable annually in advance, as payment for UPRR's maintenance of the Signal System that is installed at Junction Avenue and L Street at-grade crossings. UPRR will increase such annual signal maintenance fee by 3% to account for future cost increases. This adjustment may be made by means of automatic adjustment in billing. These future maintenance costs will be included in the annual maintenance budget of the Public Works Department.

With respect to such entry on to Railroad’s property, the Political Body, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to release, defend and indemnify the Railroad from and against any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any person including, without limitation, the Political Body’s employees, or damage to any property or equipment (collectively the “Loss”) that arises from the presence or activities of Political Body’s employees on Railroad’s property, except to the extent that any Loss is caused by the sole direct negligence of Railroad. C.Flagging. (i) If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as provided in Paragraph B above, the Political Body agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by Political Body in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains.

Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of Contractor commencing its Work and at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any Work by Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. B. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad approved flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30)-day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. C. Contractor shall be permitted to hire a private contractor to perform flagging or other special protective or safety measures (such private contractor being commonly known in the railroad industry as a contractor-in-charge (“CIC”)) in lieu of Railroad providing such services or in concert with Railroad providing such services, subject to prior written approval by Railroad, which approval shall be in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. If Railroad agrees to permit Contractor to utilize a CIC pursuant to the preceding sentence, Contractor shall obtain Railroad’s prior approval in writing for each of the following items, as determined in all respects in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) the identity of the third-party performing the role of CIC; (ii) the scope of the services to be performed for the project by the approved CIC; and (iii) any other terms and conditions governing such services to be provided by the CIC. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by an approved CIC, Contractor shall be solely responsible for (and shall timely pay such CIC for) its services. Railroad reserves the right to rescind any approval pursuant to this Section 1, Subsection C., in whole or in part, at any time, as determined in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. D. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by employees of Railroad and/or any contractor of Railroad, Railroad will bill Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing. E. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad or a CIC, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this agreement. F. The provisions set forth in this subsection are only applicable for Flagging Services performed by employees of Railroad: the rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with labor agreements and schedules in effect at the time the Work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the Work is performed.

paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. If flagging is performed by Railroad, reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Contractor may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five-day cessation notice has been given to Railroad. Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of the Railroad to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Railroad to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, roadways, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other wirelines, pipelines and other facilities upon, along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be freely done at any time or times by Railroad without liability to Contractor or to any other party for compensation or damages. B.

Section 3. NO INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATIONS OF RAILROAD AND ITS TENANTS. A. Contractor shall conduct its operations so as not to interfere with the continuous and uninterrupted use and operation of the railroad tracks and property of Railroad, including without limitation, the operations of Railroad's lessees, licensees or others, unless specifically authorized in advance by the Railroad Representative. Nothing shall be done or permitted to be done by Contractor at any time that would in any manner impair the safety of such operations. When not in use, Contractor's machinery and materials shall be kept at least twenty- five (25) feet from the centerline of Railroad's nearest track, and there shall be no vehicular crossings of Railroads tracks except at existing open public crossings. B.

B. Entry on to Railroad's Property by Political Body. If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property in order to perform an inspection of the Roadway, minor maintenance or other activities, the Political Body shall first provide at least ten (10) working days advance notice to the Railroad Representative. With respect to such entry on to Railroad’s property, the Political Body, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to release, defend and indemnify the Railroad from and against any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any person including, without limitation, the Political Body’s employees, or damage to any property or equipment (collectively the “Loss”) that arises from the presence or activities of Political Body’s employees on Railroad’s property, except to the extent that any Loss is caused by the sole direct negligence of Railroad. C.Flagging. (i) If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as provided in Paragraph B above, the Political Body agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by Political Body in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30) day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Political Bodywhether a flagman need be present and whether Political Body needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad will bill Political Body for such expenses incurred by Railroad. If Railroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Political Body agrees that Political Body is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.

EXHIBIT C
82 5
vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the work is performed.

Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Political Body shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. (iii) Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Political Body may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Political Body must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Political Body will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been given to Railroad. D. Compliance With Laws. The Political Body shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and enactments affecting the work.

Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least ten (10) working days in advance of Contractor commencing its Work and at least thirty (30) working days in advance of proposed performance of any Work by Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of any track. B. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad approved flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt of such thirty (30)-day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. C. Contractor shall be permitted to hire a private contractor to perform flagging or other special protective or safety measures (such private contractor being commonly known in the railroad industry as a contractor-in-charge (“CIC”)) in lieu of Railroad providing such services or in concert with Railroad providing such services, subject to prior written approval by Railroad, which approval shall be in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. If Railroad agrees to permit Contractor to utilize a CIC pursuant to the preceding sentence, Contractor shall obtain Railroad’s prior approval in writing for each of the following items, as determined in all respects in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) the identity of the third-party performing the role of CIC; (ii) the scope of the services to be performed for the project by the approved CIC; and (iii) any other terms and conditions governing such services to be provided by the CIC. If flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by an approved CIC, Contractor shall be solely responsible for (and shall timely pay such CIC for) its services. Railroad reserves the right to rescind any approval pursuant to this Section 1, Subsection C., in whole or in part, at any time, as determined in Railroad’s sole and absolute discretion. D. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by employees of Railroad and/or any contractor of Railroad, Railroad will bill Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing. E. If any flagging or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad or a CIC, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this agreement. F. The provisions set forth in this subsection are only applicable for Flagging Services performed by employees of Railroad: the rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with labor agreements and schedules in effect at the time the Work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the Work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is Docusign Envelope ID: 4D58AE79-B0FA-4FB9-A1DE-2C8B73C98AC5

paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges. If flagging is performed by Railroad, reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Contractor may not be working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given, Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30) days notice must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five-day cessation notice has been given to Railroad. Section 2. LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED A. The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of the Railroad to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Railroad to construct, maintain, repair, renew, use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, roadways, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other wirelines, pipelines and other facilities upon, along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be freely done at any time or times by Railroad without liability to Contractor or to any other party for compensation or damages. B. The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (whether recorded or unrecorded and including those in favor of licensees and lessees of Railroad's property, and others) and the right of Railroad to renew and extend the same, and is made without covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment. Section 3. NO INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATIONS OF RAILROAD AND ITS TENANTS. A. Contractor shall conduct its operations so as not to interfere with the continuous and uninterrupted use and operation of the railroad tracks and property of Railroad, including without limitation, the operations of Railroad's lessees, licensees or others, unless specifically authorized in advance by the Railroad Representative. Nothing shall be done or permitted to be done by Contractor at any time that would in any manner impair the safety of such operations. When not in use, Contractor's machinery and materials shall be kept at least twenty- five (25) feet from the centerline of Railroad's nearest track, and there shall be no vehicular crossings of Railroads tracks except at existing open public crossings. B. Operations of Railroad and work performed by Railroad personnel and delays in the Work to be performed by Contractor caused by such railroad operations and Work are expected by Contractor, and Contractor agrees that Railroad shall have no liability to Contractor, or any other person or entity for any such delays. The Contractor shall coordinate its activities with those of Railroad and third parties so as to avoid interference with railroad operations. The safe operation of Railroad train movements and other activities by Railroad takes precedence over any Work to be performed by Contractor.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend with counsel selected by or otherwise acceptable to City, City and its elected and appointed officials, officers, directors, employees, agents, and designated volunteers (collectively “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Contractor’s performance of the Services, or in connection with Contractor’s failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except for such Liability caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Contractor’s obligations to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend shall not be excused because of Contractor’s inability to evaluate Liability or because Contractor evaluates Liability and determines that Contractor is not liable to the claimant. These obligations are independent of, and shall not in any way be limited by, the minimum insurance obligations contained in this Agreement. These obligations shall survive the completion or termination of this Agreement. Contractor must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by City.
(a) Modification for Construction Contracts. To the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” covered by California Civil Code section 2782, then Contractor’s duty to indemnify shall not apply in a manner prohibited by California Civil Code section 2782.
(b) Modification for Design Professional Services. To the extent this Agreement is for “design professional services” defined in California Civil Code section 2782.8, then Contractor’s duties to defend and indemnify shall only apply to the extent provided for in California Civil Code section 2782.8(a), unless section 2782.8(a) is not applicable for one of the reasons set forth in 2782.8(e).
20. Insurance. Without limiting Contractor’s indemnification of the Indemnified Parties, Contractor shall procure and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement policies of insurance in the amounts and under the terms set forth in Exhibit C Insurance Requirements against claims and Liability that may arise from or in connection with this Agreement and performance of the Services. Upon reasonable written notice, Contractor shall comply with any changes in the amounts and terms of insurance as may be required from time-to-time by City’s Risk Manager.
21. Force Majeure; Service Delays. Should Contractor’s performance of the Services be obstructed or delayed due to changes in the Services by City, by any default, act, or omission of City, or by strikes, fire, earthquake, or any other Act of God, or by the inability to obtain goods, materials, equipment, or labor due to federal government restrictions arising out of defense or war programs, then Contractor’s time for performance may, at City’s sole discretion, be extended for such periods as may be agreed upon by City and Contractor. Nothing in this section restricts City’s authority in Section 14 to terminate this Agreement.

22. Acceptance of Final Payment. Contractor’s acceptance of final payment will release City from any and all claims and liabilities for compensation under this Agreement.
23. Acceptance of Work. City’s acceptance of, or payment to Contractor for, the Services does not release Contractor from its responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or competency of the Services, nor do the actions constitute an assumption of Contractor’s responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the Services.
24. Conflict of Interest. Contractor represents that no City employee or official has a financial interest in Contractor. Contractor shall not offer, encourage, or accept any financial interest in any part of Contractor's business by or from a City employee or official during the term of this Agreement or as a result of being awarded this Agreement. If any of the Services are paid by reimbursement from an agreement between City and a private party, Contractor represents that it has not performed any work for that private party during the twelve-month period prior to the execution of this Agreement, and that it shall not negotiate, offer or accept any contract for services from that party during the term of this Agreement.

Contractor shall comply with City’s local conflict of interest code implementing the California Political Reform Act and shall prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if the Services involve making, or participation in making, governmental decisions or financial decisions by City that may have a material effect on Contractor’s financial interests. While it is Contractor’s sole responsibility to evaluate its conflicts of interest, Contractor nevertheless agrees to prepare and file an economic disclosure statement if requested by City.
26. Levine Act Compliance . California Government Code section 84308 (Levine Act) prohibits City officers from participating in any action related to a contract, license, permit, or entitlement if the officer receives political contributions from a party, or participant, or agent thereof, that totals more than $500 within the twelve months preceding the decision or within the twelve months following the date of the final decision.
Contractor shall review and complete as necessary the City’s California Levine Act Disclosure Statement that can be obtained from the City Clerk.
27. Use of Recycled Products. If fitness and quality are equal, then Consultant shall utilize recycled products consistent with the City’s Environmentally Preferrable Purchasing and Practices Policy, and as defined in California Public Contract Code Section 12200 for the Services, instead of nonrecycled products whenever recycled products are available at the same or a lesser cost than nonrecycled items. Information on recycled materials can be found here:

30. Authority to Execute Agreement . Contractor has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution of this Agreement, and expressly represents that the person signing this Agreement on behalf of Contractor has received and accepted the authority to sign and execute this Agreement on behalf of Contractor. Upon the Effective Date, this Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of Contractor, enforceable against Contractor in accordance with its terms, which authorization is ratified and confirmed upon Contractor’s acceptance of the first compensation payment by City
31. No Subcontracting and No Assignment . Contractor’s unique personal competence, experience, specialized personal knowledge, trade skills, and reputation were a substantial inducement to City for the award of this Agreement to Contractor, therefore no part of the Services may be assigned or subcontracted without City’s prior written consent. For the purposes of this section, a change of fifty percent or more in the ownership or control of Contractor constitutes an assignment.
32. Remedies.
All remedies permitted or available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity, are cumulative and alternative, and the invocation of a right or remedy will not be construed to waive or elect a remedy with respect to any other available right or remedy. As a condition precedent to commencing legal action involving a claim or dispute against City arising from this Agreement, Contractor must present a written claim to City in accordance with Livermore Municipal Code Chapter 3.40 Claims Administration.
33. Work Eligibility . Contractor warrants that only personnel authorized to work in the United States pursuant to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and other applicable laws shall be provided by Contractor for the performance of the Services.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Human Services Commission and staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the allocation of $255,578 in funding for Fiscal Years 2025-27 as listed below and authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute all related documents, grant agreements, and modifications. 1 .

DECISION TYPE
Administrative
SUMMARY
Each year, the City receives numerous qualified grant applications from non-profit agencies providing core safety net services in Livermore.
On October 27, 2025, Council approved an additional $200,000 of surplus General Funds to be allocated to the Housing and Human Services Grant program. These funds were designated to support additional human services projects in FY 2025-26 and 2026-27. Six new projects are being recommended for funding in the public services category and are expected to serve an additional 900 residents over the two-year period.
In response to the growing issue of food insecurity within the community, staff is also recommending allocating an additional $55,578 in unallocated SOE funds to enhance support for two existing nonprofit partners.
On December 9, 2025, the Human Services Commission approved the funding recommendations in the 127
total amount of $255,578. Human Services Commission and staff recommend the City Council approve the funding recommendations set forth in Exhibit A to the resolution.
DISCUSSION
The City of Livermore continues its commitment to supporting core safety net services through strategic investments in nonprofit agencies serving low-income and vulnerable populations. To date, the City has approved a total of $2,119,520 in funding to support 15 projects across 10 nonprofit organizations in the FY 2025-27 grant cycle. This funding is composed of federal funding sources (Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Program Grant) and local funding sources (Human Services Facility Fee, Affordable Housing In-Lieu, and SOE funds).
On March 11, 2025, the Human Services Commission approved funding recommendations in the estimated total amount of $2,074,878 from the federal grant and local funding sources.
On April 28, 2025, Council approved recommendations for the local funding, which included the Human Services Facility Fee, Affordable Housing In-Lieu and SOE funds in the total amount of $1,078,500 over two years.
On May 13, 2025, City staff was informed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that the FY 2025-26 allocation for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) was $396,908 and the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) allocation, through the Alameda County HOME consortium, was $123,602. The final CDBG and HOME allocations were approved by Council on June 23, 2025, in total estimated amount of $1,041,020 over the two years.
On October 27, 2025, Council approved an additional $200,000 allocation of surplus General Funds to the Housing and Human Services Grant program. These funds were designated to support additional human services projects in FY 2025-26 and 2026-27. The recommended projects for this funding represent the next highest scoring applications based on the Commissions scores and will align with the grant priorities that were established for the FY 2025-27 grant cycle.
In April 2025, Council approved allocations of $120,000 and $124,500 for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 of Social Opportunity Endowment funding respectively, leaving a balance of unallocated funds for the purpose of creating a mini grants program in partnership with Dublin and Pleasanton. Per the updated SOE ordinance, the maximum allowable allocation is $150,000 for FY 2025-26 and $154,500 for FY 2026-27. Staff continue to explore partnerships to develop a mini-grant program with implementation anticipated in the FY 2027-29 grants cycle. In response to the growing issue of food insecurity within the City, staff recommends allocating an additional $55,578 in unallocated SOE funds for Spectrum Community Services Meals on Wheels Program and Tri-Valley Haven's Food Pantry to address the immediate needs. The additional funding would fully meet the two-year funding requests for both food assistance programs, which were in the top three scoring public service grant applications for FY 2025-
27. On December 9, 2025, the Human Services Commission approved $255,578 in funding for the six new projects to be funded by the General fund and two additional projects to be funded by the SOE as shown in the chart below.

SUMMARY
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which contains the Auditor’s Opinion, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, is complete and ready for City Council acceptance. The auditors have given the City an unmodified or “clean” opinion on the ACFR as shown in the Independent Auditors’ Opinion letter on page 1 of the audit report. This is the 44th 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
136
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 audits were performed by the City’s independent auditors, Eide Bailly LLP.
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 2024-25 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 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 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 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 the 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. 137
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, 2025.
The report states that the audit did not identify any deficiencies in the City's internal controls.
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 risk.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
There is no direct fiscal impact in accepting the FY 2024-25 audit reports. Total audit and report preparation costs of
$
157,748
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, Members of the City Council and
citizens of the City of Livermore, California:
I am pleased to present the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. 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 ending June 30, 2025.
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, 2025, 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.

Letter of Transmittal

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 499 full-time equivalent employees, provides a wide range of services to a residential population of 85,8991. 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 2025 the City’s unemployment rate of 4.4% continued to rank below the average unemployment rates of the county (5%) and state (5.4%) and was greater than the nation (4.1%). Employment in Livermore has historically been less volatile due to the presence of major 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 10-year comparison of unemployment rates in the state and local areas as well as the U.S. by fiscal year.

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 2024-25 were 4.9% lower than FY 2023-24 with most of the losses coming from the General Consumer Goods and Business and Industry groups. Some of the reduced sales tax revenues is associated with the new Costco store in Pleasanton that reduced sales in the Costco store in Livermore and high interest rates reducing larger purchases. The chart below illustrates the City’s sales tax revenue for FY 2024-25 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 5.5% to $26.8 billion in FY 2024-25 compared to a 6% increase in the previous fiscal year.
Livermore’s real estate market remained about the same during FY 2024-25. As reported by HdL, the median sales price for a single-family residence in Livermore decreased by 2% - from $1.27 million to $1.25 million from June 2024 to June 2025.

In its November 13, 2025 publication, the Conference Board forecasts that US economic growth will experience slow growth at year-end related to the 43-day government shutdown and recover at the beginning of 2026 They forecast that real GDP will grow by 1.5% in 2026 and then increase by approximately 2.0% in 2027.
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 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, 2025, there was a combined balance of $28.2 million in capital reserves. The City funds capital reserves through year-end surpluses and, depending on the City’s budget status, annual budget allocations. 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.
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 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 $1.25 million on June 30, 2025. Purchasing a median priced home with 10% down requires approximately $130,000 for a down payment, $36,000 for closing costs, and approximately $195,000 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 has made extensive progress towards each of these priorities. Some of the achievements realized during FY 2024-25 are as follows:
• The Police Department answered over 103,857 landline and 24,179 wireless 911 calls as well as responding to more than 58,144 incidents including more than 41,811 calls for service, resulting in 1,559 criminal arrests, and the seizure of 72 firearms.
• Shea Homes “Tranquility”. Approval of a new residential development in the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan that includes 164 for-sale condominium units, with 33 moderate-income affordable units, 17 accessible units, common open space areas including four pocket parks, landscaping, parking, pedestrian connections to existing public right-of-way, and Isabel and Portola Avenue frontage improvements, including separated Class IV bike lanes.

• Isabel Crossing. Approval of the Isabel Crossing project, the largest single project to date in the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan. The project would develop the vacant 45-acre site at the southwest corner of Isabel Avenue and Portola Avenue with a master-planned community offering a range of housing options with 1,299 dwelling units, including duplexes, triplexes, flat condominiums, apartments, and three-story townhomes, approximately 75,000 square feet of office and commercial uses, a main street with public plazas, a new neighborhood park, private recreation center and pool, public trails, bike paths, bike lanes, and a public art program.
• Portola Townhomes. Approval of three residential buildings totaling 31 three-story townhouse style condominiums. The project includes six affordable units and four accessible units, a Class 2b bike lane, and related landscaping, parking, stormwater, and frontage improvements. • Open Space Acquisition. In 2024, the City acquired four properties, totaling approximately 330 acres of open space land for permanent preservation and conservation. All the properties have significant biological, scenic, and recreational value. The City periodically acquires open space land from willing sellers on the open market to protect and/or enhance the natural resources and attributes of the properties. • Cornerstone Residential. Approval of the Cornerstone residential development located at the northwest corner of the Collier Canyon Road and Constitution Drive intersection. The project provides 253 residential units, including 143 for-sale townhomes in 21 buildings and 110 affordable for-rent apartments in one building. Project amenities include a 2.5-acre park, pocket park, trail improvements along Collier Creek, an easement for a future pedestrian bridge across Collier Creek, and a monetary contribution towards constructing the bridge.
• Goodness Village. Approval of Conditional Use Permit Modification to allow supportive housing (Goodness Village) associated with a public or quasi-public use (Crosswinds Church). The project is to modify the Conditional Use Permit for Crosswinds Church to permanently allow the 28-unit Goodness Village and a new, approximately 7,125 square foot community center for residents and staff administrative offices. • Casino 580. Approval of a Municipal Code Amendment, Development Code Amendment, Conditional Use Permit Modification, Development Agreement, Site Plan Design Review, and Site Plan Design Review Modification for the Parkwest Casino 580 Expansion Project and citywide cardroom operations. The amended cardroom table fees are expected to generate approximately $695,000 annually from Casino 580 (which amount will adjust with the Consumer Price Index). This revenue will be used in part to fund two full- time positions, one in the Police Department and one in the Community Development Department. • Comcast Properties Rezoning and Development Agreement. Approval of an Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan Amendment to change the land use at 3011, 3055, and 3077 Triad Place from Business Park to Residential Transition (multifamily residential) and a Development Agreement to vest a land use development concept for 450 multifamily housing units, private and common open space, infrastructure including a new bicycle lane, establish terms and timing of payments into the Social Opportunity Endowment and Community Benefit Funds, alternatives to inclusionary affordable housing requirements, and the construction of off-site Class IV bike lane improvements along North Canyons Parkway. • Development Code Update and Objective Design Standards.

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 Asset 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, 2024. This was the 36th 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,
Tina Olson

1 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, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the 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, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for 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.

2 Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 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.

3 Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances Budget and Actual – General Fund, the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances Budget and Actual – Low Income Housing Special Revenue Fund, the Schedule of Changes in the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios – Miscellaneous Plan, the Schedule of the Plan’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios as of the Measurement Date – Safety Police Plan, the Schedule of Contributions – Miscellaneous Plan, the Schedule of Contributions – Safety Police Plan, , the Schedule of Changes in the City’s Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios and the Other Post-Employment Benefits Schedule of 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.
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.
EXHIBIT A
170
4 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 December 31, 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, 2025. 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 City’s net position increased by 9.5% (or $68.8 million) in FY 2024-25 from $724.3 million to $793.1 million primarily due to increased revenues related to development, adding two capital assets – the L Street Garage and the primary and secondary treatment improvements at the water treatment plant and reduced long-term liabilities.
• The City’s Net Pension liability decreased by $6.2 million from $164.0 million in FY 2023-24 to $157.8 million in FY 2024-25, due to CalPERS investment returns exceeding the discount rate in FY 2023-24. The measurement date of CalPERS reports is one year behind the City’s annual financial report. The City is expecting the Net Pension liability to decrease again in the City’s FY 2025-26 annual financial report due to CalPERS’ FY 2024-25 investment gains also exceeding the discount rate.
• The market value of the City’s investments was $2.9 million less than cost in FY 2024-25. This is an improvement of $6.6 million from FY 2023-24’s unrealized loss of $9.5 million. Staff has been working with the City’s investment advisor to strategically reinvest maturities to maximize investment income. The City is expecting to experience unrealized investment gains next year due to three rate cuts in late 2025. The City did not incur any actual losses. Unrealized gains or losses are the difference between what an investor will pay for an investment in the current market and the amount the City originally bought it for. Actual investment income was $9.3 million in FY 2024-25 from the City’s main portfolio, an increase of $2.2 million from FY 2023-
24. • At the close of FY 2024-25, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $291.6 million, an increase of $16.2 million from the prior fiscal year’s fund balance of $275.4 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 FY 2024-25, the unrestricted fund balance (the total of the committed, assigned, and unassigned components of fund balance) for the General Fund was $75.01 million, or approximately 52.6% of total General Fund expenditures, and debt service transfers out. The City’s General Fund Reserve Policy requires operating reserves equal to 30% of operating expenses and outgoing transfers for debt service.
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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2025
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.
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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2025
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 FY 2024-25, 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 proprietary 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 37-90.

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 91-100.
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 101-128 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 $793.1 million, at the close of FY 2024-25.
Long‐term liabilities, which consists mostly of claims, debt, compensated absences, pension, and postemployment benefit obligations, decreased by $16.7 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 $7.8 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2025
The largest portion of the City’s net position ($502.2 million or 63.3%) 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 residents and businesses. 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 ($212.9 million or 26.8%) 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 FY 2024-25, 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 $71.8 million as of the end of FY 2024-25. The deficit is caused primarily by $103.7 million in the unfunded pension liabilities and $20.4 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 governmental activities unrestricted net position, excluding the effects of pension and OPEB liabilities, is $52.3 million and may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations.
Overall, the City’s net position increased by $68.8 million from $724.3 million in FY 2023-24 to $793.1 million in FY 2024-25. The reasons for this overall increase are discussed in the following sections for governmental activities and business-type activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2025
Total revenues from governmental activities were $223.2 million of which taxes at $124.3 million comprise the largest component at 55.7% of total revenues. As shown in table on the previous page, $70.4 million, or 31.5%, of the City’s Governmental Activities revenue in FY 2024-25 came from program revenues out of which charges for services accounted for 15.7% of total governmental revenues while Operating and Capital Grants made up 15.8% of the total governmental revenues.
Program revenues for governmental activities increased by $31.9 million during the year due to an increase of $13.1 million for grants and contributions and increase of $18.8 million in charges for services. General revenues experienced an increase of $8.9 million in FY 2024-25 primarily due to an increase of $6.9 million in investment income, and $0.5 million increase in taxes. The Fund Financial Statements Analysis includes additional details 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.
Citywide Governmental Activities
Total expenses, including capital projects, were $172.7 million in FY 2024-25, an increase of $9.2 million from FY 2023-24. The largest increases were in Public Works by $6.7 million Police by $4.7 million, and General Government by $2.9 million.
The Functional Expenses chart above shows Police and Fire accounted for 43.1% of total governmental expenses while Community Development accounted for 15.6%, Public Works 18.7% and other governmental programs 22.6%.

As shown in the graph below, during FY 2024-25, 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.
The only exception was Community Development, as they collected various impact fees due to the amount of development occurring in the City during the year.
Business-type Activities
For the City’s business-type activities, the results for FY 2024-25 were positive in that the overall net position increased to reach an ending balance of $309.2 million. The total increase in net position for business-type activities was $26.9 million or 9.5% from the FY 2023-24 net position. Overall business type program revenues increased by $5.9 million from $62.3 million in FY 2023-24 to $68.2 million in FY 2024-25. The increase was mostly due to an increase of $6.9 million in capital grants and contribution and decrease of $0.7 million and $0.3 million in charges for services and operating contributions and grants.
Program expenses decreased by $0.7 million to a total of $56.8 million in the current year. The overall decrease is due to decreased capital expenditures mostly offset by increased personnel and contractual services costs.
Analysis of the Fund Statements
The table below summarizes the activities and balances of governmental funds. As of June 30, 2025, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $291.6 million, an increase of $16.2 million from the prior year ending fund balance of $275.4 million. Approximately 7.7% of this amount ($6.7 million) is available to spend at the government’s discretion (unassigned fund balance).

(in Millions)
The following are contributing factors affecting the revenues in FY 2024-25:
• Property tax revenues grew by almost $2.7 million in FY 2024-25 from assessed valuation growth. • Overall sales tax revenues decreased by approximately $0.4 million compared to FY 2023-24 as inflation and rising interest rates slowed large purchases.
• Use of money and property increased by $3.3 million as interest rates rose throughout the year and the year- end market value adjustment loss narrowed in the current year. • Intergovernmental revenue increased by $16.3 million due to receiving grants to purchase open space and fund certain capital projects. Note $11.4 million Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenue was reclassified to Property tax.
• Licenses and permit revenue increased by $4.4 million due to multiple development projects occurring throughout the City.
• Charges for services revenue increased $6.9 million related to collections of impact fees and in-lieu fees.
In FY 2024-25, expenditures for governmental funds totaled $186.5 million, an increase of $17.3 million (or 10.2%) from the FY 2023-24 total of $169.2 million. The largest contributor to the change was an increase of $5.8 million in capital projects and an increase of $7.9 million in public works. The rest of the increases were due to increased police department, economic development, and general government expenditures with increases of $4.5 million, $1 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The fire department expenses increased by $0.6 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 FY 2024-25, the total fund balance of the General Fund was $87.04 million, out of which $6.7 million was remaining 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 remaining unassigned fund balance of $6.7 million represents approximately 4.1% of total General Fund expenditures and transfers out, while the total fund balance of $87.04 million represents approximately 53.5% of the same amount.
The non-spendable fund balance of $5.3 million represents amounts set aside for specific items and therefore, are unavailable. The Restricted Fund Balance of $6.8 million represents the balance in the City’s Pension 115 Trust. The Committed Fund Balance of $17.4 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 $31.0 million represents CIP Reserves, and the capital improvement program. The Unassigned Reserve in this report shows a balance of $26.6 million. It includes the Economic Uncertainty Reserve of $19.9 million, which will be used during times of protracted recessionary periods. The Remaining Unassigned amount of $6.7 million can be used to allocate to other priorities for the City, but $2.2 million will be used to help meet the 30% Operating Reserve requirement in FY 2025-26, $2.4 million is being used in the FY 2025-27 budget, and $0.9 million is for investments held at market value. This leaves the balance available of the Unassigned Reserve at $1.2 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 79.1% of revenues in FY 2024-25. These revenue sources are highly susceptible to economic fluctuations.

The General Fund revenues were $157.2 million in FY 2024-25, an $11.7 million increase from FY 2023-24 amount of $145.5 million. As discussed in detail under “The City’s Fund Financial Statements”, increase mainly came from property tax ($2.72 million), use of money and property ($2.41 million), licenses and permits ($4.38 million) and other taxes ($2.97 million). Decreases mainly came from charges for current services ($3.15 million) from the prior year.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2025
The next table shows the original budget, final amended budget, and the actual results for FY 2024-25. 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.
Actual General Fund property tax revenues were slightly less than budget. Use of money and property was $5.5 million over budget, that was due to the increased interest rates on investments and the improvement of the unrealized market value adjustment of nearly $5.0 million that is not budgeted. Sales tax came in under budget by $3.5 million as increased interest rates slowed consumer spending.
Total expenditures and transfers out were under budget by $7.6 million. Expenditures for few departments were under budget for FY 2024-25 primarily due to vacant positions. Fire department, Economic Development, debt service and transfers-out were collectively over budget by $1.0 million. The remaining were collectively under budget by $8.6 million including capital projects under budget by $2.8 million followed by general government under budget by $2.3 million and Community Development under budget by $1.6 million.

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. FY 2024-25 revenues decreased by $4.7 million mostly from reduced housing fees collected in the year, while expenditures decreased by $0.2 million due to less new housing loans activity.
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 $3.9 million was $0.2 million higher in FY 2024-25 due to increased charges for services.
Operating expenses increased by $0.16 million due to higher cost of sales, salaries, and benefits.
Net nonoperating revenues decreased by $0.085 million due to increases in investment income of $0.27M, offset by a decrease in federal grant funding of $0.15M, and rental of City owned property $0.21M revenues. The federal grant revenue is composed of Covid CARES Act funding.
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 decreased by $1.42 million. The main driver behind the operating expenses decrease was cost of sales, salaries and benefits, which was $1.97 million lower than FY 2023-24.
Transfers in, composed of a transfer from the General Fund and CIP reserve, rose by $3.88 million from $3.47 million to $7.35 million.

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 5.6 million gallons of wastewater each day from throughout the Livermore area.
The Sewer Fund’s net operating income was $3.2 million in FY 2024-25 compared to $4.7 million in FY 2023-24.
Operating revenues were $1.8 million higher in FY 2024-25, primarily due to an increase in sewer rates. Revenue is expected to continue to increase as the City Council approved a comparable rate increase for the next fiscal year.
Operating expenses of $29.6 million experienced a 12.5% increase from $26.3 million in FY 2023-24 due to increases in cost of sales, salaries and benefits, and contracted services. The contracted services expense increase of $2.7 million was due to a one-time payment to LAVWMA for the replacement of a pipeline segment.
Nonoperating revenues (expenses) decreased by $3.1 million due to year end market value adjustment of the City’s investments ($1.3 increase) and change in value in the JPA-LAVWMA investment ($4.4 million decrease). 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.
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 10,700 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.
Water operating revenue increased by 9.2% from $18.4 million to $20.1 million. The combined annual Livermore Municipal Water and Zone 7 rate increase was approximately 3%.
Operating expenses were $3.4 million higher compared to FY 2023-24, primarily due to increases in the purchase of water from Zone 7 of $1.0 million and increased repair and maintenance costs of $1.7 million. Net nonoperating revenues (expenses) increased by $0.9 million due to increased investment income.

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 everyone. 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, 2025, equals $581.8 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 FY 2024-25 and FY 2023-24, the cost of capital assets recorded on the City’s financial statements is shown in the following table. 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024

The outstanding debt in the current fiscal year decreased by $5.4 million for governmental activities and decreased by $0.6 million for business type activities. The $6 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 FY 2025-26 is $317.4 million for all City activities, including allocations to fund balance reserves. The FY 2025-26 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.
Property tax revenue in FY 2025-26 is projected to be $64.1 million, an increase of 5.8%, or $3.5 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 $41.1 million in FY 2025-26, a decrease of
3.5%, or $1.5 million compared to FY 2024-25 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 the next budget cycle, as appropriate. Use of money and property is projected to be $8.5 million, an increase of 16.4%, or $1.2 million compared to FY 2024-25’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.

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, 2025
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS 16,237,996$ 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 26,902,091 Loss on sale of property added back to fund balance (2,504) Depreciation expense is deducted from the fund balance
(Depreciation expense is net of internal service fund depreciation of $2,342,654 which has already been allocated to internal service funds.) (13,057,580)
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 3,872,552 Payment of principal on Subscription-based IT arrangements 785,260 Amortization of premium on long-term debt 584,174
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 698,402
Interest payable 53,010
Unavailable revenue 1,921,847
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 (13,567,241) Deferred inflow of resources related to pension 1,835,124 Change in net pension liability 5,850,651
Deferred outflow of resources related to OPEB (286,766) Deferred inflow of resources related to OPEB 2,254,478
Change in net OPEB liability 2,615,237
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
204
38 City of Livermore
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2025
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.
Stormwater Fund – Established to account for operations of the storm water operations and impact fees collected for storm drain infrastructure.

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.
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.
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 noncancellable leases of buildings, land and cell towers. 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 lease and subscription arrangements accounted for under GASB No. 87, Leases and GASB No. 96, Subscriptions Based Information Technology Arrangements. At the commencement of a subscription based information technology arrangement (SBITA) or lease arrangement, the City initially measures the liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the term. Subsequently, the liability is reduced by the principal portion of payments made. The subscription or leased 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 City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected payments to present value, (2) subscription term. 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 lease if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription.
Subscription and leased assets are reported with other capital assets and 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. 101
As of June 30, 2025, the District adopted GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. The provisions of this standard modernize the types of leave that are considered a compensated absence and provides guidance for a consistent recognition and measurement of the compensated absence liability. The effect of the implementation of this standard on beginning net position is disclosed 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, 2025, 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.

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 248 days. Money Market funds were available for withdrawal on demand at June 30, 2025 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, 2025:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 June 30, 2025

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, 2025, the balance outstanding for these bonds is $1,613,667. 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, 2025.
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, 2025 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 $69,526 was made during FY 2024-25. The balance as of June 30, 2025 is $3,517,069.
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. The General Fund paid this loan off in FY 2024-25 utilizing a portion of the year-end surplus.
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.

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.

The related obligations are presented in the amounts equal to the present value of SBITA payments, payable during the remaining SBITA term. As the licensee, the City recognizes a SBITA liability and an associated intangible-SBITA asset on the Statement of Net Position.
The City has several leasing arrangements accounted for under GASB No. 96, Subscriptions Based Information Technology Arrangements. These arrangements are summarized below.

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.
Stabilization arrangements were adopted by Council resolution to establish and maintain a revenue stabilization reserve (“rainy day fund”) in the General Fund. The stabilization reserve is reported in the General Fund committed fund balance. Expenditure of the amounts in the revenue stabilization reserve may occur only when specific circumstances exist. The adopted resolution directs that these resources may be used to mitigate actual revenue shortfalls in the event of a declaration of a public emergency. These circumstances are not expected to occur routinely.

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.

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, 2025, the contributions recognized as part of pension expense for the Plans were as follows:

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 $4,305,655 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, 2025. 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, 2025, the City’s average contribution rate was 24% of covered-employee payroll. Plan members are not required to contribute to the plan.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City contributed $4,305,655 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 following is the City adopted asset allocation policy as of June 30, 2025.

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. Insurance Services. The City of Livermore contributed $1,888,787 to CJPRMA for liability coverage for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
The City of Livermore purchases a variety of insurance products from Alliant through CJPRMA pooled programs and directly from Aon Risk Insurance services. The City paid $763,263 for property insurance, and $106,163 for auto physical damage insurance to Alliant through CJPRMA. The City also paid $401,164 directly to Aon for various lines of insurance.
The Local Agency Workers Compensation Excess Joint Powers Authority (LAWCX) covers workers compensation up to statutory limits.

Note 16 - Economic Development Incentives – Tax Abatements
The City offers economic development incentive program to the entities that propose to locate or expand already established businesses within the City. 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, 2025, under this program the City has abatements of sales tax totaling $2,127,121.
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.

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.

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.
