CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2023 ITEM NUMBER: 10B
To: Mayor Tanya Doby & Members of the City Council
Presented By: Craig Koehler, Director of Finance
Subject: Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
SUMMARY
For City Council consideration is the receipt of the fiscal year 2021-2022 audit reports.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the annual audit reports for fiscal year 2021-2022, including the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures Appropriations Limit Worksheets (GANN AUP).
BACKGROUND
Each year an independent audit of the City is conducted in conformity with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS). Those standards require that an independent Certified Public Accountant plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The auditor also expresses an opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the financial position and the results of operations of the government's basic financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
DISCUSSION
This item was pulled from the March 17, 2023 Council Meeting because an error had been detected and brought to the City’s attention. The error was in the narrative section of the report in table 2 on page 8 that had a typographical mistake. The error did not have any impact on the audited portion of the financial statements. Considering the impact of this, Finance contacted one of the auditing firms that had responded to the RFP for auditing services that was issued in 2020 and requested that they perform a peer review of the report to provide a certificate as to the report’s accuracy and completeness.
The firm providing the review and certification is Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP (RAMS). The partner representing RAMS, that conducted the review is Terry Shea, CPA and Partner. The cost for the review and certification was $1,600. The revised ACFR and certification letter is attached attesting to the completeness and accuracy of the report for the period ending June 30, 2022. The City will also be engaging with a new firm to conduct the audit for the remaining two years, and has received a proposal from RAMS for those services.
A contract to engage RAMS for audit services for FY2022-23 will be made under the City Manager’s approval authority.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Los Alamitos, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Los Alamitos, California’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Los Alamitos, California, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America 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 of Los Alamitos, California, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements, the City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87, Leases. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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 of Los Alamitos, California’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 generally accepted 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. 438 Old Newport Blvd – Newport Beach, CA 92663

Los Alamitos, California
2 In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted 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 of Los Alamitos, California’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 of Los Alamitos, California’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the schedule of proportionate share of the net pension liability and related ratios, schedule of plan contributions – defined benefit pension plan, schedule of changes in the net OPEB liability and related ratios, schedule of plan contributions – OPEB plan, and budgetary comparison information 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 of Los Alamitos, California’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements , budgetary schedules, and financial data schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary schedules, and financial data schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

5 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The management of the City of Los Alamitos ("City") offers readers of the City's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the City's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that is provided in our letter of transmittal.
The presentation of the City's financial data in this analysis and statements will differ from the City's budget, in that the analysis and statements are required to follow Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 34 and other Statements to allocate costs associated with capital related items, long-term debt transactions, accrued interest, compensated absences internal service fund activity, and depreciation to the various functions of the City; whereas the City's budget is an operational financial plan for the upcoming fiscal year.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis provides an introduction to the City's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components:
1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's assets and deferred outflows, and liabilities and deferred inflows, with the difference between being 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 deteriorating.
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 is reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
The government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (government activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, community development, recreation and community services, and public works. The City has no business-type activities.
The Governmental Activities are presented on the accrual basis of accounting, a basis of accounting that differs from the modified accrual basis of accounting used in presenting governmental fund financial statements. Note 1 of the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements fully describe these bases of accounting.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
6 demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary 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 and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains sixteen individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund. Data from the other fifteen governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds are provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
Proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are used to account for activities where the City needs to show the full costs of providing the services, including depreciation. The City maintains five internal service funds.
The City uses internal service funds to account for its self-insured insurance programs, fleet of vehicles, equipment, technology upgrades and replacements and other capital related activities. Because these services benefit governmental functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Internal service funds are presented as proprietary funds because internal service funds follow the accrual basis of accounting.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Combining statements. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds are presented immediately following the notes.
7 Government-wide Financial Analysis
Tables 1 and 2 focus on the net position and changes in net position of the City's governmental activities.
The City’s assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $13,701,004 as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $5,532,920 from June 30, 2021.
The largest portion of the City's net position reflects its investment in capital assets (i.e., land, buildings, machinery, equipment and infrastructure), net of any related debt that is still outstanding used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Unrestricted net position had a deficit balance of $5,197 million as of June 30, 2022, which relates to the City's net pension liability and OPEB liability.
The City has set-aside $3.40 million for its unfunded pension liability and $500,000 for its OPEB liability. However, since these funds are not held in an irrevocable trust the net pension liability has not been reduced to account for these funds that have been set-aside.

9 Governmental Activities. Governmental activities increased the City's net position by $5,532,920 compared to a net increase of $2,225,535 in the prior year. Key elements of this year's activity in relation to the prior year are as follows:
Revenues
While variances between years exist for the various revenue categories, the total net increase was $3,710,502, which is largely attributable to the $4,816,369 increase in sales tax. This was attributable to the passage of Measure Y 1.5%, Local Sales Tax.
Expenses:
Although variances between years exist for the various expense functions, the total net decrease was $612,809. Decreased expenditures were recognized in General Government, Public Safety, and interest and fiscal charges. Table 3 below presents the cost of each of the City's six largest programs-general government, public safety, community development, recreation and community services, public works, and interest and fiscal charges as well as their respective program revenues.

10 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S MAJOR FUNDS
The City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balance of $19,255,631, an increase of $3,388,299 (21%) from the prior fiscal year's balance. Of this amount, $4,439,441 or 23.06% of fund balance is constrained by the City's intent to utilize fund balance for specific purposes, which is reported within the fund balance classification assigned. Additionally, $2,353,211 or 12% of fund balance is restricted, which represents the portion of fund balance that is subject to externally enforceable limitations by law, enabling legislation or limitations imposed by creditors or grantors.
The fund balance of the City's General Fund increased by $4,173,344 during the fiscal year compared to a $3,334,055 increase in the prior year. The increase in the current year is primarily attributable to the increase in sales tax revenue.
Other governmental funds realized an increase in fund balance of $230,881. While variances between years exist for the various nonmajor governmental funds, the net increase was primarily attributable to an increase in funding for Measure M and State Gas Tax, in other restricted amounts.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Actual revenues were $2,255,980 more than the final budgeted amount, which is primarily due to increased property and sales tax and intergovernmental charges. The expenditures for the General Fund at fiscal year-end were $960,528 less than the final budgeted expenditures, which is primarily due to a decrease in public safety resulting from vacant positions.
No budget amendments were made during the fiscal year.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets. At the end of Fiscal Year 2021-22, the City had $19.9 million invested in capital assets, including land, buildings, infrastructure, and equipment. This amount represents a net increase of $905,135, which is primarily due to increases in vehicles, infrastructure, and construction in progress.
11 More detail on the City’s capital assets can be found in Note 5 to the financial statements of this report.
Long-term liabilities. At the end of fiscal year 2021-22, the City had $4.1 million in longterm liabilities which includes outstanding bond indebtedness of $3.35 million along with a capital lease, claims payable and compensated absences. The net increase of $80,006 over the prior year is primarily due to a net increase in compensated absences.
More detail on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Notes, 6, 7 and 12 to the financial statements of this report.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
The economy will face challenges in the coming year. Inflation will be a major factor, reflecting imbalances with supply and demand related to the pandemic. The U.S. Treasury will be countering the growth with planned rate hikes. Other factors include supply chain shortages, and global unrest, that will result in hardships and unknown implications on the U.S. economy. According to HdL, the City Sales Tax Consultant, a slowdown is predicted in the later part of 2022 and into to 2023. As such, the budget was prepared using a conservative approach.
On June 13, 2022, the 2022-23 City Budget was adopted. The annual operating budget is balanced, with operating revenues of $21,348,825 and operating expenditures of $20,367,325, resulting in an estimated surplus of $981,500.
Following the adoption of the FY2020-21 budget, the City Council and the residents of Los Alamitos took action. After the City Council unanimously voted to place a revenue measure on the ballot, residents voted to enact a 1.5% sales tax that would be dedicated to ensuring essential services and Los Alamitos residents’ quality of life. This new revenue source will allow for the city to continue to provide the needed services to the community, while addressing infrastructure deficiencies.

Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet
to the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position
June 30, 2022
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position were reported differently because:
Deferred amounts relates to pension not available for current expenditures and are not reported in the governmental fund financial statements:
Net pension liability is not due and payable in the current period and therefore is not reported in the governmental funds.
Deferred amounts relates to other postemployment benefits not available for current expenditures and are not reported in the governmental fund financial statements:
Net OPEB liability is not due and payable in the current period and therefore is not reported in the governmental funds.
Capital assets used in governmental activities were not current financial resources.
Therefore, they were not reported in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet.
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge garage costs; technology replacement costs; police capital expenditures; facilities, street, parks, and pool capital expenditures; and self-insurance costs to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the Internal Service Funds were included in the governmental activities in the Governmentwide Statement of Net Position.
Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities. All liabilities, both current and long-term, are reported in the Statement of Net Position:
Compensated absences
Deferred charge on refunding
Certain revenues were not available to pay for current-period expenditures and, therefore, were deferred in funds.

Governmental Funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the Government-wide Statement of Activities, the costs of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. The amount of capital assets recorded in the current period is listed below.
Depreciation expense of capital assets is reported in the Government-wide Statement of Activities, but they do not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, depreciation expense is not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds expect for the Internal Service fund amount listed below.
Earned but unavailable revenues reported in the governmental funds balance sheet as deferred inflows of resources should be recognized in the Government-wide Statement of Activities as revenue regardless of availability.
Certain pension expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Certain other postemployment benefit expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Compensated absences were reported in the Government-wide Statement of Activities, but they did not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, compensated absences were not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

City of Los Alamitos
31 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of Los Alamitos, California, (the “City”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as applied to governmental agencies.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the City’s significant policies:
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated on March 1, 1960. The Charter of the City of Los Alamitos was adopted by a vote of the people in September 1966, and the City enjoys all rights and privileges pertaining to such “Charter Law” cities.
The financial statements include the financial activities of the City, the primary government, and its blended component unit, the Los Alamitos Public Financing Corporation (the Corporation). The component unit, discussed below, is included in the City’s reporting entity because of the significance of its operational and financial relationship with the City. This entity is legally separate from the City. However, the City’s elected officials have continuing accountability for fiscal matters of this entity.
An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes or set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the primary government. In a blended presentation, a component unit’s balances and transactions are reported in a manner similar to the balances and transactions of the City. Component units are presented on a blended basis when the component unit’s governing body is substantially the same as the City’s or the component unit provides services almost entirely to the City.
Management determined that the following entities should be reported as blended component units based on the criteria above. Each blended component unit has a June 30 year-end, has a governing board that is substantially the same as the City’s, there is a financial benefit or burden relationship between the City and the blended component unit, and the City is financially accountable for each of the blended component units.
The Los Alamitos Public Facilities Corporation – The Corporation was formed February 6, 2006, pursuant to the Non-Profit Corporation Law of the State of California for the purpose of assisting the City in financing the acquisition, construction and improvement for public benefit within the City limits. The Corporation is governed by a five-member board that is the City Council of the City of Los Alamitos. Separate financial statements are not prepared.
B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The City’s basic financial statements consist of government-wide statements, including the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, and fund financial statements, which provide a more detailed level of financial information.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the City as a whole. These statements include the financial activities of the City and the Corporation. Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34 in regard to interfund activities, payables, and receivables.
City of Los Alamitos
32 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) The Statement of Net Position presents the financial position of the governmental activities of the City and its component unit, and the Statement of Activities reports expenses of each specific governmental function, offset by program revenues attributable to each functional program. A function is an assembly of similar activities and may include portions of a fund or summarize more than one fund to capture the expenses and program revenues associated with a distinct functional activity.
Program revenues that are attributable to functional programs are separated into three categories:
Charges for services
Operating grants and contributions
Capital grants and contributions
Charges for services report fees and other charges to users of the City’s services, operating grants and contributions finance annual operating activities and can include restricted investment income, and capital grants and contributions fund the acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of capital assets. These revenues are subject to externally imposed restriction to these program uses. Other revenues sources not included with program revenues are reported as general revenues of the City. These can include taxes or unrestricted investment income.
Fund Financial Statements
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, deferred inflows, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses as appropriate. The City uses two categories of funds: governmental and proprietary.
The City segregates transactions related to certain City functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Fund financial statements are designed to present financial information of the City at a more detailed level. Individual governmental fund identified as being Major, as prescribed by governmental accounting standards or by Management of the City, are reported in separate columns on the financial statements.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions typically are financed. Governmental fund reporting focuses on the sources, uses and balance of the current financial resources. Expendable assets are assigned to the various governmental funds according to the purpose for which they may or must be used. Fund liabilities are assigned to the fund from which they will be liquidated. The City reports the difference between its governmental fund assets and its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources as fund balance.
Governmental fund financial statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for all major governmental funds and other governmental funds aggregated.
Accompanying reconciliations are presented to explain the differences in fund balance as presented in these statements to the net position presented in the government-wide financial statements.
City of Los Alamitos
33 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) The funds designated as major funds are determined by a mathematical calculation consistent with GASB Statement No. 34 or are elected by Management of the City based on Management’s belief that the presentation of the funds are particularly important to financial statement users for reasons including public interest or consistency of reporting. The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is used to account for all of the general operations and other financial transactions of the City, which are not accounted for by another fund.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than for debt service or capital projects) that are restricted by law or administrative action or committed to expenditures for specified purposes.
The Capital Projects Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities, other than those financed by Internal Service Funds.
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned for the payment of, long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs for the 2006 Certificates of Participation (Laurel Park Acquisition).
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds are used to account for ongoing organizations and activities, which are operated and financed in a manner similar to those found in the private sector. The reporting focus on the determination of operating income, changes in net position, financial position, and cash flows. The City’s proprietary funds are classified as internal service funds.
The Internal Service Funds are used to account for interdepartmental operations where it is the stated intent that costs of providing services to the departments of the City on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily by charges to the user departments. The City’s internal service funds are used to account for its self-insured insurance programs, fleet of vehicles, equipment, technology upgrades, and replacements and other capital related activities.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are presented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, including capital assets, infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. All internal balances and transactions have been eliminated from their respective statements to avoid over reporting relating assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, except for internal service fund charges provided and used.
City of Los Alamitos
34 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) Fund Financial Statements
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or “current financial resources” measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current position. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period.
Like the government-wide statements, all proprietary funds are accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting determines when transactions are recorded in the financial records and reported on the financial statements. Government-wide financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. At the fund reporting level, the governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Proprietary funds use the accrual basis of accounting at both reporting levels. Differences in the accrual and the modified accrual basis of accounting arise in the recognition of revenue, the recording of deferred inflows of resources, and in the presentation of expenses versus expenditures.
Revenue – Exchange Transactions
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, is recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. On the modified accrual basis, revenue is recorded when the exchange takes place and in the fiscal year in which the resources are measurable and become available. Available means that the resources will be collected within the current fiscal year or are expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current fiscal year. For the City, the availability is defined within 60 days of year-end.
Revenue – Non-Exchange Transactions
Non-exchange transactions in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, includes sales taxes, property taxes, grants and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from sales taxes is recognized in the period in which the taxable sale takes place. Revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. Major revenue sources susceptible to accrual include property tax, sales tax, utility users tax, franchise Tax, and licenses. On a modified accrual basis, revenue from non-exchange transaction also must be available (generally 60 days after year-end) before it can be recognized in the governmental funds. However, the City has adopted a 12-month recognition period for grant revenues.
City of Los Alamitos
35 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) Unavailable Revenue
Unavailable revenue, presented under deferred inflows of resources, arise when potential revenues do not meet both the measurable and available criteria for recognition in the current period. In subsequent periods when both revenue recognition criteria are met, the deferred inflow is removed from the balance sheet and revenue is recognized.
Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue arises when assets are recognized before revenue recognition criteria listed above have been satisfied. In subsequent periods when the government has a legal claim to the resources, the unearned revenue is removed from the balance sheet and revenue is recognized.
Expenses/Expenditures
On the accrual basis of accounting, expenses are recognized at the time they are incurred. On the modified accrual basis, expenditures generally are recognized in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred and due, if measurable.
Proprietary Funds Operating and Non-Operating Revenues and Expenses Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
C. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
Cash Management
The City pools cash resources of its various funds to facilitate cash management. Cash in excess of current requirements is invested and reported as investments. It is the City’s intent to hold investments until maturity.
However, the City may, in response to market conditions, sell investments prior to maturity in order to improve the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio. Interest earnings are apportioned among funds based on ending accounting period cash and investment balances.
Investments Valuation
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. Market value is used as fair value for those securities for which market quotations are readily available.
State Investment Pool
The City participates in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), an investment pool managed by the State of California. LAIF has invested a portion of the pool 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 as a result of changes in interest rates.
City of Los Alamitos
36 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) C. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments (Continued)
Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considered all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All cash and investments of the proprietary fund types are pooled with the City's pooled cash and investments.
D. Internal Receivable and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e. the current portion of interfund loans) or “interfund advances receivable/payable” (i.e. the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.” Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are presented as nonspendable in fund balances to indicate that they are not in a spendable form.
E. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items.
The cost of prepaid items is recorded as an expenditure/ expense when consumed.
F. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental activities column in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two years, except for computer software and hardware and infrastructure assets which have a capitalization threshold of $20,000. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed (except for intangible right-to-use assts), the measurement of which is discussed thereafter. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of acquisition.
As permitted under GASB Statement No. 34 for small governmental entities, the City has elected to report infrastructure assets prospectively beginning July 1, 2003.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component unit, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Equipment 5 - 10 years
Vehicles 4 - 15 years
Furniture 7 years
Buildings 50 years
Improvements 5 - 20 years
Infrastructure 50 years

37 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) G. Compensated Absences Payable
Under certain circumstances and according to the negotiated labor agreements, employees of the City are allowed to accumulate annual leave. This amount is accrued in the government-wide and proprietary fund statements. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.
H. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, debt issuance costs except for any portion related to prepaid insurance were recognized as expense in the period incurred.
I. Claims and Judgments
The City records a liability for claims, judgments, and litigation when it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred prior to fiscal year-end and the probable amount of loss (net of any insurance coverage) can be reasonably estimated.
The City is exposed to various risks of losses related to torts; theft of, damages to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City currently reports all of its risk management activities in its General Fund. Claims expenditures and liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These losses include an estimate of claims that have been incurred, but not reported.
It is the City’s policy to liquidate claims and judgments existing at June 30, with future resources. Accordingly, the liabilities are recorded in the Statement of Net Position. These noncurrent amounts will be recorded as fund expenditures in the fiscal year in which they are paid or become due on demand.
J. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statements of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The City has two items which qualify for reporting in this category.
Deferred pension related items relate to the net pension obligation reported in the statement of net position.
These outflows are the results of contributions made after the measurement date, which are recognized in the following year, and consist of adjustments due to differences in proportions, changes in assumptions, and differences between expected and actual experiences, which are deferred and amortized over the expected average remaining life time. Additionally, the net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments is reported and amortized over 5 years. Deferred outflows from changes in net pension liability arise only under a full accrual basis of accounting and are reported in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and proprietary funds Statement of Net Position.
The City also reports a deferred charge on refunding which results from the difference in the carrying value of the refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunded or refunding debt.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) J. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources (Continued) In addition to liabilities, the statements of net position and the governmental funds’ balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has two items which qualifies for reporting in this category. The first item is in relation to the net pension obligation reported in the statement of net position.
These inflows are the results of changes of assumptions, differences between expected and actual experiences, adjustments due to differences in proportions, and differences between proportionate share of contributions and actual contributions. Inflows from changes in net pension liability arise only under a full accrual basis of accounting and are reported in the government-wide Statement of Net Position and proprietary funds Statement of Net Position
The City also reports one type of item, which arises only under the modified accrual basis of accounting, that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds’ balance sheet. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
K. Net Position
Net position is the excess of all the City’s assets over all its liabilities, regardless of fund. Net position is divided into three captions under GASB Statement No. 34. 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 – the portion of net position that 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 – the portion of net position that is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws or other restrictions, which the City cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include funds restricted to community development projects purposes and funds for use in building improvements and governmental grants. Unrestricted – the portion of net position that is not restricted as to use.
L. Net Position Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.

39 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) M. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on how specific amounts can be spent.
Nonspendable – the portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not in a spendable form, such as prepaid items, inventories, or loans receivable. Restricted – the portion of a fund balance that reflects constraints placed on the use of resources (other than non-spendable items) that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments); or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Examples of restricted fund balances include State Gas Tax, Asset Seizure, and Measure M funds.
Committed – the portion of a fund balance that included amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision- making authority and remain binding unless removed in the same manner. a. The City Council, as the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as a resolution. b. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment. c. City Council action to commit fund balance needs to occur within the fiscal reporting periods; however, the amount can be determined subsequently.
Assigned – amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither Restricted nor Committed, should be reported as Assigned fund balance. This policy hereby delegated the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes to the City Manager for the purpose of reporting these amounts in the City’s annual financial statements. Examples of assigned fund balance are funds intended for Capital Improvement Projects and Equipment Replacement. Unassigned – residual net resources in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories and do not have any specific spending limitations. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In governmental funds, other than the General Fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, the City reports a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.
In July 2017, City Council established a Reserve for Emergencies to be maintained at 25% of General Fund appropriations. The reserve is only to be used, with council approval, in the case of a declared natural disaster or financial emergency. A financial emergency is considered when annual revenues decrease by 5% or more or when annual expenditures increase by 5% or more.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) N. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
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.
O. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the pension plans fiduciary net positions and additions to/deductions from the pension plans fiduciary net positions have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
GASB 68 requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used.
Valuation Date (VD) June 30, 2020
Measurement Date (MD) June 30, 2021
Measurement Period (MP) June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022
P. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense have been determined by an independent actuary. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation Date (VD) June 30, 2022
Measurement Date (MD) June 30, 2022
Measurement Period (MP) July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022
Q. New Accounting Pronouncements
The City adopted Statement on Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statements) No. 87-Leases; No 89- Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred Before the End of a Construction Period; No. 90-Majority Equity Interest; No. 93-Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates; and No. 97-Certain Component Unit Criteria for Internal Revenue Code 457 Deferred Compensation Plans. The City implemented GASB No. 87 during fiscal year June 30, 2022. The adoption of the GASB Nos. 89, 90, 93, and 97 did not significantly impact the City.
City of Los Alamitos
41 Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) R. Leases
Lessee: The City is a lessee for a noncancellable lease of equipment. The City recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset (lease asset) in the government-wide financial statements. The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments. The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the Statement of Net Position.
Lessor: 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 the 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 elements and judgement 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 it 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 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 currently does not have any leases receivable.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) S. Property Taxes
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties at up to 1% of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas.
Property taxes are assessed, collected and allocated by Orange County throughout the fiscal year according to the following property tax calendar.
Lien Date January 1
Levy Date July 1 to June 30
Due Dates November 1, 1st installment, February 1, 2nd installment Delinquent Dates December 11, 1st installment, April 11, 2nd installment Property taxes receivable for the governmental fund types, which have been remitted within 60 days subsequent to year end, are considered measurable and available and recognized as revenues. All other property taxes are offset by deferred property tax inflows of resources and, accordingly, have not been recorded as revenue. Taxes are considered past due on the above delinquent dates, at which time the applicable property is subject to lien, and penalties and interest are assessed.
T. Functional Classifications
Expenditures of the Governmental Funds are classified by function. Functional classifications are defined as follows:
General government – includes legislative activities, which have a primary objective of providing legal and policy guidelines for the City. Also included in this classification are those activities that provide management or support services across more than one functional area. Public safety – includes those activities that involve the protection of people and property. Community development – includes those activities such as planning, code enforcement, and building and safety inspections.
Recreation and community services – includes those activities that involve the community cultural and leisure activities.
Public works – includes those activities that involve the maintenance and improvement of City streets, roads, and park development and maintenance.
Capital outlay – includes purchases of property, plant and equipment which are expensed in the governmental funds because governmental funds use the current financial resources measurement focus. Principal retirement – includes principal payments for long-term liabilities. Interest and fiscal charges – includes current payments for interest on the City’s long-term debt.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) U. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 – Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
A. Violations of Legal or Contractual Provisions
Note 2 to Required Supplementary Information, on the Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations, describes budgetary violations that occurred in the General Fund for the year ended June 30, 2022.
B. Deficit Fund Balance
At June 30, 2022, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) nonmajor special revenue fund reported a deficit fund balance of $114,182. The deficit is due to the timing of the receipt of CDBG program reimbursements for expenditures incurred. The deficit will be eliminated as the program reimbursements are received from the grantor agency.
Note 3 – Cash and Investments
A. Summary of Cash and Investments
At June 30, 2022, the City reported $21,302,076 in unrestricted cash and investments and $249 in restricted cash and investments held with fiscal agents for a total cash and investment balance of $21,302,325. Total cash and investments consisted of the following:
Cash on hand $ 3,500
Demand deposits 796,570
Investments 20,502,255
Total Cash and Investments $ 21,302,325
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds except for funds required to be held by fiscal agents under provisions of bond indentures. Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated monthly to the various funds based on monthly cash and investment balances. Interest income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.

B. Cash Deposits
The carrying amounts of the City’s cash deposits were $796,570 at June 30, 2022. Bank balances before reconciling items were $549,966 at that date. The difference of $246,604 represents outstanding checks, cash deposits in transit, and other reconciling items.
All City’s cash and investments as of June 30, 2022, were collateralized or insured with securities held by pledging financial institutions in the City’s name. The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City’s cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City’s name.
C. Investments
The following table identifies the investment types that are authorized for the City by the California Government Code (or the City’s investment policy, where more restrictive). The table also identifies certain provisions of the California Government Code (or the City’s investment policy, where more restrictive) that address interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk. This table does not address investments of debt proceeds held by bond trustees that are governed by the provisions of bond indentures of the City, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy.

Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawals is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. LAIF does not impose limits or restrictions on participant withdrawals, and the entire balance of the City’s investment in the portfolio is available for withdrawal at any time. LAIF is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not rated.
Deposits and withdrawals in LAIF are made on the basis of $1 and not fair value. Accordingly, the City’s investment in this pool is measured on uncategorized inputs not defined as Level 1, 2, or 3.
D. Risk Disclosures
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity:

Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating, by Standards and Poor, as of fiscal year end for each investment type:

Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s investment policy imposes restrictions on the percentage that the City can invest in certain types of investments. As of June 30, 2022, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 40 requirements, the City is exposed to concentration of credit risk whenever they have invested more than 5% of their total investments in any one issuer.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. The City’s investment policy does not contain any additional provisions that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits. However, the policy does stipulate that mortgage collateral cannot be used to secure deposits, and that the use of a third-party bank trust department is to act as the City’s safekeeping agent for investments. At June 30, 2022, City deposits (bank balances) were insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation or collateralized as required under California Law.

Fair Value Hierarchy
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2022:

B. Benefits Provided (Continued)
The City has a multiple tier retirement plan with benefits varying by plan for both miscellaneous and safety employees hired on or before specific dates as follows:
Safety Employees
Legacy POA Employees – The retirement formula is 3% at age 50 for safety employees covered under the Los Alamitos Police Officers’ Association (POA) that were hired on or before December 31, 2012.

Classic members (CalPERS members prior to 12/31/12) hired on or after January 1, 2013 may be placed in a different tier.
Miscellaneous Employees
Legacy CEA Employees – The retirement formula is 2.7% at age 55 for miscellaneous employees covered under the Los Alamitos City Employees Association (CEA) hired on or before December 31, 2012. The employee is responsible for the employee share (8%).

53 Note 9 – Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Continued)
C. Contribution Description
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contribution requirements are classified as plan member contributions.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the contributions recognized as a reduction to the net pension liability for the miscellaneous and safety plans was $772,765 and $848,052, respectively.
D. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability The June 30, 2020 valuations were rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2021 total pension liabilities, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
1 The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The table includes 15 years of mortality improvements using the Society of Actuaries Scale 90% of scale MP 2016. For more details on this table, please refer to the December 2017 experience study report (based on CalPERS demographic data from 1997 to 2015) that can be found on the CalPERS website.
E. Long-term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as followed:

Inflation

Private equity 8.0%

Liquidity 1.0%
F. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
G. Subsequent Events
There were no subsequent events that would materially affect the results presented in this disclosure.
H. Amortization of Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Under GASB 68, gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time.
The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss:
The EARSL for PERF C (the CalPERS pool) for the measurement date ending June 30, 2021 is 3.7 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 559,502 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 150,958 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired) in PERF C. Inactive employees and retirees have remaining service lifetimes equal to 0. Total future service is based on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event other than receiving a cash refund.
Net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension 5 year straight-line amortization plan investments
All other amounts Straight-line amortization over the expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) of all members that
are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period

Note 11 – Joint Ventures
A. Orange County Fire Authority
In January 1995, the City of Los Alamitos entered into a joint powers agreement with 17 other cities within the County of Orange to create the Orange County Fire Authority (Authority). The purpose of the Authority is to provide for mutual fire protection, prevention and suppression services, and related and incidental services including, but not limited to emergency medical and transport services, as well as providing facilities and personnel for such services. The effective date of formation was March 1, 1995. Since the creation of the Authority, five additional cities have joined the Authority as members. The Authority’s governing board consists of one representative from each city and two from the County.

A. Orange County Fire Authority (Continued)
The operations of the Authority are funded with structural fire fees collected by the County through the property tax roll for the unincorporated area and on behalf of all member cities except for eight cities. The County pays all structural fire fees it collects to the Authority. The eight cities for which the County does not collect structural fire fees are considered “cash contract cities” and, accordingly, make cash contributions based on the Authority’s annual budget.
Upon dissolution of the Authority, all surplus money and property of the Authority will be conveyed or distributed to each member in proportion to all funds provided to the Authority by that member or by the County on behalf of that member during its membership. The City has a financial interest in the Authority; however, it does not have an equity interest. Also, the City does not have an ongoing financial responsibility. Financial statements of the Authority may be obtained from its office at Post Office Box 57115, Irvine, California 92619.
B. West Communications Financing Authority
The West Communications Financing Authority was established December 23, 1996, pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement by the Cities of Los Alamitos, Seal Beach and Cypress for the purpose of operating a public safety communications center.
The Board of Directors is comprised of three elected officials, one designated by each participating City. Each Director has one vote over budgeting and financial matters. The Authority is a public entity separate from the Cities and is not included in the financial statements of those entities.
Each City pays a contractual fee to the Authority which consists of personal costs, capital expenditures and reserves to fund accrued employee leave and equipment purchases. The contractual fee remains stable from year to year. In 2021-2022, the City of Los Alamitos paid $703,953 to the Authority. Financial information for the Authority may be obtained from the City of Cypress.
C. Integrated Law and Justice Agency for Orange County
In May 2006, the City of Los Alamitos entered into a joint powers agreement with 22 other agencies within the County of Orange to create the Integrated Law and Justice Agency for Orange County. The purpose of the Agency is to facilitate the integration and sharing of criminal justice information for the benefit of the lands and inhabitants within their respective boundaries. The Agency’s governing board consists of six Municipal Police Chiefs, each elected for a three-year term by the Orange County Chiefs & Sheriff’s Association. The operations of the Agency are funded by grant awards and annual budget appropriations from each member agency.
Upon dissolution of the Agency, all surplus money and property of the Agency will be conveyed or distributed to each member in proportion to all funds provided to the Agency by that member. The City has a financial interest in the Authority; however, it does not have an equity interest. Also, the City has an ongoing financial responsibility to the Agency for approximately $3,000 per year.
Financial information for this arrangement may be obtained from the City of Los Alamitos.
Note 12 – Self-Insurance Program
Effective July 1, 2016, the City rescinded its participation in the California Joint Power Insurance Authority (CJPIA) and joined the California State Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority (EIA). Beginning July 1, 2016, excess insurance coverage for General Liability and Workers’ Compensation was provided through the EIA with self-insured retentions of $100,000 and $125,000 per occurrence for each respective program. The EIA provides coverage up to $25 million per occurrence for General Liability and up to the statutory limit for Workers’ Compensation.
City of Los Alamitos
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
61 Note 12 – Self-Insurance Program (Continued)
The City established a Self-Insurance Fund (an internal service fund) to account for and finance its uninsured risk of loss when it became a member of EIA for liability, master crime, and workers’ compensation coverage. All funds of the City participate in the program and make payments to the Self-Insurance Fund based on estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims and to establish a reserve for catastrophe losses. The estimated claims liability of $222,973 reported at June 30, 2022, is based on the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 10, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The above amount includes an estimate for incurred but not reported claims.
During the last three fiscal years none of the above programs of protection have had settlements or judgments that exceeded the insured coverage amount. There have been no significant reductions in insured liability coverage from the prior year.
Changes in the reported liability for the last two fiscal years are as follows:
Claims and changes in estimates during
Claims payments during the fiscal year
Claims and changes in estimates during
Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies
The City is subject to litigation arising in the normal course of business.
The City has received various state and federal funds for specific purposes that are subject to review and audit by the grantor agencies. Although such audits could generate expenditure disallowances under terms of the grants, it is believed that any required reimbursements will not be material.
The City’s operations may be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, possible effects may include, but are not limited to, a reduction in certain tax revenues and a decline in the value of investments, which could have an impact on the City’s financial position and operating results. There is significant uncertainty as to the severity and longevity of the outbreak and City management is in the process of evaluating the impact on the City and its financial statements.

Required Supplementary Information (Continued) Notes to the Budgetary Comparison Schedule For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
Note 1 – Budgets and Budgetary Accounting Data
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
1. The annual budget is adopted by the City Council and provides for the general operation of the City. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. The City Council approves total budgeted appropriations and any amendments to appropriations throughout the year. This “appropriated budget” covers substantially all City expenditures. Actual expenditures may not exceed budgeted appropriations at the department level. The City’s fund structure includes the following departments: City Council, City Manager/City Clerk, Administrative Services, City Attorney, Public Safety, Community Development, Recreation and Community Services, and Public Works. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between the accounts of any department. Budgets are controlled at the department level. Budget figures used in the financial statements are the final adjusted amounts, including any amendments to the budget during the fiscal year.
3. Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in the Governmental Fund types during the fiscal year. Unexpended appropriations of the governmental funds automatically lapse at the end of the fiscal year.
4. Budgets for the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, Traffic Improvement Capital Projects Fund, Building Improvement Capital Project Fund, and Residential Street/Alley Capital Project Fund are adopted on a basis substantially consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (USGAAP). Accordingly, actual revenues and expenditures can be compared with related budgeted amounts without any significant reconciling items. No budgetary comparisons are presented for the proprietary funds, as the City is not legally required to adopt a budget for this type of fund.
5. Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), the City is restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes, and if proceeds of taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the State Controller or returned to the taxpayers through revised tax rates or revised fee schedules, or an excess in one year may be offset against a deficit in the following year. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, based on calculations by City management, proceeds of taxes did not exceed appropriations.
Note 2 – Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations
The following departments had expenditures that exceeded the adopted budget:

Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total
maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of
the property being taxed. Each year the assessed value
of property may be increased by an inflation factor
(limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few
exceptions, property is only reassessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new
assessed value is reassessed at the purchase price of
the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown

We have performed the procedures enumerated below on the appropriations limit calculation worksheets of the City of Los Alamitos, California (City) for the year ended June 30, 2022. The City’s management is responsible for the appropriations limit calculation worksheets.
The City has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for the intended purpose of meeting the requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (Constitution) and the League of California Cities as presented in the League publication entitled Article XIIIB Appropriations Limitation Uniform Guidelines (Guidelines). This report may not be suitable for any other purpose.
The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes.
The procedures and associated findings are as follows:
1. We obtained the worksheets referred to above and compared the limit and annual adjustment factors included in those worksheets to the limit and annual adjustment factors that were adopted by resolution of the City Council. We also compared the population and inflation options included in the aforementioned worksheets to those that were selected by a recorded vote.
Results: No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures.

Dear Craig,
Per your request we have reviewed the City of Los Alamitos FY 21-22 ACFR as prepared by Gruber & Lopez dated as of February 6, 2023, as to its completeness and accuracy.
Not having access to the underlying trial balances and audit documentation we reviewed the ACFR for the appropriate statements, required disclosures as well as consistency between the Financial Statement amounts, the MD&A, the Notes to the Financial Statements and the Statistical Section.
The ACFR contains the proper statements, schedules, and reconciliations and the interrelated amounts are consistent between the Financial Statement amounts, the MD&A, the Notes to the Financial Statements and the Statistical Section.
For the required note disclosures, we used the GFOA ACFR Disclosure Checklist. Our review determined the ACFR contained the appropriate note disclosures and the amounts reported agree with the Financial Statement amounts.
In our review of the MD&A we found the amounts in the MD&A agreed with the Financial Statement and the Notes to the Financial Statement amounts.
If you should have any questions or need additional information, please contact us.
Sincerely,
ROGERS, ANDERSON, MALODY & SCOTT, LLP

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2023 ITEM NUMBER: 10D
To: Mayor Tanya Doby & Members of the City Council
Presented By: Ron Noda, Development Services Director
Subject: Amendment No. 3 with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA) for Tree Maintenance Services
SUMMARY
This item seeks approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with West Coast Arborist, Inc. (WCA) to continue to provide tree maintenance services, a license arborist, and extraordinary work order fulfillment for one (1) year, ending on June 15, 2024. The amount paid to WCA is not to exceed $75,000 annually. The current Professional Services Agreement (PSA) expires on June 15, 2023.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with West Coast Arborists, Inc. (WCA), extending the term of the agreement for one additional year ending on June 15, 2024, and not to exceed $75,000 annually, which is inclusive of a 2.5% CPI increase.
BACKGROUND
The City of Los Alamitos has approximately 2,596 street, park and parkway trees comprising its urban forest, and has utilized WCA since 2006 to provide tree care (trimming, stump removal), arborists, and to complete extraordinary work such as the removal of trees larger than 25 feet and emergency after-hour work. WCA's licensed arborist is utilized to assess the health of tree(s) that are requested to be removed by residents and to provide workshops to the Public Works Division on how to plant, trim, and maintain trees properly.
WCA has provided tree maintenance services for the City since 2006, with the latest PSA secured via a Request for Proposals (RFP) 2020-01 in June 2020. As established, this PSA secured services for a one-year term ending on June 15, 2021, with a maximum of three one-year contract extensions.
DISCUSSION
WCA has agreed to provide continued services with a requested cost adjustment of 2.5% based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In contrast to the current rate schedule, the requested increase would reflect the following:
Amendment No. 3 to the PSA extends the City’s contractual relationship with WCA, utilizing the third and final of three allowable one-year extensions.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget includes funds for $75,000 and will be paid through Measure M - account No. 26.570.5501.1614 (arterial and residential tree trim/removal).
