CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 11B
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Craig Koehler, Director of Finance
Subject: Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for June 30, 2024
SUMMARY
The fiscal year 2023-24 audit reports are presented for the Council's receipt and consideration.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the fiscal year 2023-24 audit reports.
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
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded the City a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting. The award is valid for a period of one year only. Staff believes the current fiscal year 2023-24 ACFR continues to meet the award program’s requirements and will be submitted again to the GFOA. In connection with this year's audit, this is the second year that Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott (RAMS) has audited the City's financial records. Report review included internal staff and additional reviews by the audit firm's partners. The results of the audit were also communicated to the Budget Standing Committee.
The resulting audit report, Financial Statements - Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), is attached, along with the accompanying letters: Auditor’s Management Comment Letter (GAGAS), Report on Internal Controls, and Communication (SAAS 114), which includes the City Management's Representation Letter.
Management Comment Letter (GAGAS)
The audit noted two findings that were related to and carried over from the prior year. Due to
the vacancy of the Finance Manager for most of the year, interim staffing had to be relied upon, which led to inconsistencies in the application of accounting processes. Following the hiring of a Finance Manager in mid-November, transition and training were limited in the midst of the audit that was already underway. These areas have been prioritized and included in the Finance Manager's responsibilities in managing the audit processes.
Report on Internal Controls (SAAS 114)
Management corrected any misstatements, as noted in Attachment A. In addition, Management's Representations are presented in the attached letter to RAMS dated March 3, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

March 3, 2025
HONORABLE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, AND CITIZENS I am pleased to submit the City of Los Alamitos, California's (the City) Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Because the costs of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, internal controls have been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatements.
The City's financial statements have been audited by Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP, a firm of certified public accountants. The independent auditor concluded, based on the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative, introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of Los Alamitos' MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
City of Los Alamitos Profile
The City of Los Alamitos, which has a population of 11,947, is 4.3 square miles and is in the northwest of Orange County. The City is strategically located in Southern California, 30 miles from downtown Los Angeles and 10 miles from Anaheim. The City is 10 miles northeast of the seaport terminal of Long Beach, and 13 miles northeast of the Port of Los Angeles. Neighboring communities include Long Beach, Seal Beach, Cypress, and Garden Grove.
ii
The City of Los Alamitos is a Charter City and was incorporated on March 1, 1960. The City has a Council-Manager form of government. The City Council comprises five members elected bi-annually to four-year alternating terms. The City Council annually elects a Mayor from its members. The City Council appoints the City Manager, who is responsible for the day-to-day administration and management of City business within all City departments. The City of Los Alamitos employs a staff of forty-eight budgeted fulltime employees. The City has contracts with Woodruff & Smart for city attorney services and Liebert Cassidy Whitmore for legal services related to labor and employment law.
The City of Los Alamitos provides many services, including police protection, construction and maintenance of streets and other infrastructure, public improvements, planning and zoning, economic development, recreational activities and cultural events, and general administrative and support services.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning and control.
The City Council holds public hearings and adopts an annual budget resolution for all funds. Adoption of the annual budget must occur prior to the conclusion of the prior fiscal year. The City Council may modify appropriations with majority approval. The budgets are adopted and presented on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in budget appropriations at the fund level during the year must be approved by the City Council. The legal level of expenditures is controlled at the department level and appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year unless encumbered for reappropriation by the City Council in the following fiscal year. The City Manager may, without Council approval, amend individual line items within any department and between divisions and programs in the personnel costs, maintenance and operations, capital outlay, and capital projects portions of the budget without increasing total appropriations for any fund.
Budget Overview/Economic Outlook
A conservative approach was used in preparing this year’s biennial budget, which included information gathered from various sources, including HdL, Beacon Economics, and the U.S. Treasury. According to economists at UCLA School of Management, the forecast is for slow growth for the next few years, tempered by inflation and additional interest rate moves by the U.S. Treasury. Other factors remain in play, including the presidential election in November and larger-scale ongoing geopolitical risks.
Although circumstances may threaten the City’s financial position in the future, including high interest rates, uncertainty in financial institutions, and a potential recession, the City’s current financial position remains stable, and we anticipate our revenues to trend favorably for the foreseeable future. While we remain hopeful and optimistic, staff will continue to monitor the revenues and any adverse fluctuations in anticipated trends.
iii
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 annual operating budget is balanced with operating revenues of $24,056,833 and operating expenditures of $23,126,050, resulting in a surplus. General fund balance reserves are projected to be $21,004,143 on June 30, 2025. The City Council reviews its Fund Balance Policy once the books have been closed for the prior year. The current reserve includes $3,400,000 for CalPERS reserves and $500,000 for other post-employment benefits (OPEB).
Long-Term Financial Planning and Major Initiatives
A report was taken to the Council in November 2022 for a plan to pay down the PERS unfunded liability. Council adopted Resolution 2022-33, adopting the PERS Unfunded Accrued Liability Pay-Down Funding Policy. The policy establishes directives for an Additional Discretionary Payment (ADP) of at least $260,000 to address the City’s current PERS Unfunded Actuarial (UAL) and includes the same $260,000 in subsequent budgets.
Additionally, upon completion of the City’s annual independent financial audit, should a surplus be identified and verified, at least 25% of the identified and verified surplus will be used to make an additional ADP payment. This payment is in addition to and does not support the already directed $260,000 annual payment. Any change to or rescission of this policy would require an action approved by the City Council during a public hearing and a finding of extreme financial danger to the City’s infrastructure or public safety.
In November 2023, the City Council approved funding a Section 115 Trust with monthly installments of $50,000 to reduce the City’s PERS UAL further. Payments to fund the trust will be offset by an equal reduction to the City’s CalPERS Reserve. The approved policies will allow the City to fund 100% of the unfunded portion of the pension liability (UAL) within 12 years or less. This undertaking will be reported annually so the Council can monitor the plan's progress and make adjustments as the plan progresses.
Capital Improvements
There was a significant influx of new projects during FY23-24. Infrastructure repairs were initiated on the City’s Civic Center buildings. This will be largely offset by reimbursement through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding. The allocated funds will be utilized to address recent storm damage that has affected the Civic Center and other facilities, enabling necessary repairs and upgrades.
In addition, new funding has been earmarked for projects funded by the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1) and Gas Tax, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Measure M-2, and other grants secured through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018 (Proposition 68). Most of the remaining CIP is pending (carried over) from the FY23-24 budget and will be funded from surplus
iv
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded the City a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The City received this award for publishing an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR that satisfied both GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
This award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current ACFR continues to meet the Program's requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA again this year.
The preparation and publication of this report would not have been possible without the dedication, professionalism, and teamwork of the entire staff of the Finance Department.
The City Council has continued to extend its support to the Finance Department in the planning of responsible and progressive financial operations. We want to thank the Mayor and the City Council for their continued support in maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in managing the City's finances.
Respectfully submitted,

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Los Alamitos, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Los Alamitos (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
-2-
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements during the year ended June 30, 2024, the City adopted new accounting guidance under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Our opinions are 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’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.
Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the nonmajor fund budgetary comparison schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the accompanying supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information Included in the Annual Report
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report/annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR). The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
-4-
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 3, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

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, 2024. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that is provided in our letter of transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of this report and with the City’s financial statements. 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 the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), 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 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 fifteen 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 schedule 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 seven 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.

Net Position
CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS
The City’s assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $21,091,397 as of June 30, 2024, an increase of $3,601,475 from June 30, 2023.
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 $3,441,911 million as of June 30, 2024, which relates to the City's net pension liability and OPEB liability.

The City has set-aside $3.1 million for its unfunded pension liability and $500,000 for its OPEB liability. However, funding commenced in FY 23/24 towards the unfunded pension liability since these funds are held in an irrevocable trust the net pension liability has been reduced to account for these funds that have been set aside.

Expenses:
Although variances between years exist for the various expense functions, the total net increase was $3,122,624. Increased expenditures were recognized in General Government, Public Safety, interest, and Recreation and Community Services.

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 $25,879,266, an increase of $3,497,075 (14%) from the prior fiscal year's balance.
Of this amount, $4,016,422 or 16% 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, $2,434,219 or 9% 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 $2,637,389 during the fiscal year compared to a $3,325,340 increase in the prior year. The increase in the current year is primarily attributable to the increase in investment income.
Other governmental funds realized an increase in fund balance of $859,686. While variances between years exist for the various nonmajor governmental funds, the net increase was primarily attributable to a increase in funding for Measure M and State Gas Tax, in other restricted amounts.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Actual revenues were $2,478,507 more than the final budgeted amount, which is primarily due to increased taxes, intergovernmental and investment earnings. The expenditures for the General Fund at fiscal year-end were $336,024 less than the final budgeted expenditures, which is primarily due to a decrease in Community Development 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 2023-24, the City had $26.2 million invested in capital assets, including land, buildings, infrastructure, equipment, and right-to-use assets. This amount represents a net increase of $3,674,825, which is primarily due to increases in vehicles, infrastructure, and construction in progress.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
A conservative approach was used in preparing this year’s biennial budget, which included information gathered from various sources, including HdL, Beacon Economics, and the U.S.
Treasury. According to economists at UCLA School of Management, the forecast is for slow growth for the next few years, tempered by inflation and additional interest rate moves by the U.S.
Treasury. Other factors remain in play, including the presidential election in November and largerscale ongoing geopolitical risks.
Although circumstances may threaten the City’s financial position in the future, including high interest rates, uncertainty in financial institutions, and a potential recession, the City’s current financial position remains stable, and we anticipate our revenues to trend favorably for the foreseeable future. While we remain hopeful and optimistic, staff will continue to monitor the revenues and any adverse fluctuations in anticipated trends.
On May 20, 2024, the 2024-25 City Budget was adopted. The annual operating budget is balanced, with operating revenues of $24,056,833 and operating expenditures of $20,367,325, resulting in an estimated surplus of $930,783. The City Council reviews its Fund Balance Policy once the books have been closed for the prior year. The current reserve includes $3,100,000 for CalPERS reserves and $500,000 for other post-employment benefits (OPEB).

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
-24-
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.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
-25-
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) 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.
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.

-26-
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) B) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued) 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.
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.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) B) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued) 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.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) B) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued) 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.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) B) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued) 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.
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.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) B) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued) 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.
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.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) 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:
Capital Asset Classes Lives
Equipment 5-10 years
Vehicles 4-15 years
Furniture 7 years
Buildings 50 years
Improvements 5-20 years
Infrastructure 50 years

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 governmentwide 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 are 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.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) J) Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources, (Continued) 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 lifetime.
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.
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:

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) K) Net Position, (Continued)
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.
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.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) M) Fund Balance, (Continued)
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.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.

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, 2022
Measurement Date (MD) June 30, 2023
Measurement Period (MP) June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023
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:

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) Q) New Accounting Pronouncements
The City adopted Statement on Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statements) No. 100, Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections. The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability.. The adoption of GASB No. 100 did not significantly impact the City.
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 the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, lease term, and 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 longterm debt on the Statement of Net Position.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) R) Leases, (Continued)
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 the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, lease term, and 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.
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.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONTINUED) 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 longterm debt.
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.

B) Deficit Fund Balance
At June 30, 2024, 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. 3) CASH AND INVESTMENTS
A) Summary of Cash and Investments
Cash and investments are classified in the accompanying financial statements as follows:
Cash and investments 24,281,518 $
Cash and investments - restricted 249
Total Cash and Investments 24,281,767 $
Cash and Investments at June 30, 2024 consisted of the following:
Cash on hand 3,500 $
Demand deposits 529,146
Investments 23,749,121
Total Cash and Investments 24,281,767 $
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
All City’s cash and investments as of June 30, 2024, 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.

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, 2024, 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.
Investments in any one issuer (other than U.S. treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment pools) that represent 5% or more of total City investments are as follows:
Issuer
Reported
amount
Percent of

Federal Home Loan Bank 6,941,601 $ 29%
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 1,494,272 6%
U.S. Treasury Notes 1,208,936 5%
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., brokerdealer) 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 function as the City’s safekeeping agent for investments. At June 30, 2024, 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, 2024:

8) RETIREMENT PLANS
A) General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Descriptions
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan or PERF C) administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS.) The Plan consists of a miscellaneous pool and a safety pool (also referred to as “risk pools”), which are comprised of individual employer miscellaneous and safety rate plans, respectively. Plan assets may be used to pay benefits for any employer rate plan of the safety and miscellaneous pools. Accordingly, rate plans within the safety or miscellaneous pools are not separate plans under generally accepted accounting principles. Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the miscellaneous or safety risk pools.
The City participates in four rate plans (two miscellaneous and two safety). Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS’ website, at www.calpers.ca.gov.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of fulltime employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 5 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost-of-living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.
The Plan operates under the provisions of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and the regulations, procedures and policies adopted by the CalPERS Board of Administration.
The Plan’s authority to establish and amend the benefit terms are set by the PERL and PEPRA, and may be amended by the California state legislature and in some cases require approval by the CalPERS Board.

Contributions
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. Employer Contributions to the Plan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 were $1,403,038. The actual employer payments of $2,604,174 made to CalPERS by the City during the measurement period ended June 30, 2023, differed from the City’s proportionate share of the employer’s contributions of $2,396,409 by $207,765, which is being amortized over the expected average remaining service lifetime in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple Employer Plan.

B) Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2023, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022 rolled forward to June 30, 2023 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is as follows.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability The collective total pension liability for the June 30, 2023 measurement period was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022, with update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liability to June 30, 2023. The collective total pension liability was based on the following assumptions:
Valuation Date June 30, 2022
Measurement Date June 30, 2023
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method
Asset Valuation Method Fair Value of Assets
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary Increases Varies by Entry Age and Service
Mortality Rate Table (1) Derived using CalPERS' membership data for all funds
Post Retirement Benefit Increase The lesser of contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing Power Protection Allowance floor
on purchasing power applies, 2.30%
thereafter.
(1) The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.
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.

B) Net Pension Liability, (Continued)
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Asset Class
Assumed

Return1,2
Global equity - cap-weighted 30.00% 4.54%
Global equity - non-cap-weighted 12.00% 3.84%

Treasury 5.00% 0.27%
Mortgage-backed securities 5.00% 0.50%

Leverage (5.00%) (0.59%)
2 Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study. 1 An expected inflation of 2.30% used for this period.
Change of Assumptions
There were no assumption changes in 2023. Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (June 30, 2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from
7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. In addition, demographic assumptions and the price inflation assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement dates June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2021, 7.65% for measurement dates June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2016, and 7.50% for measurement date June 30, 2014.

B) Net Pension Liability, (Continued)
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for PERF C was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Subsequent Events
There were no subsequent events that would materially affect the results presented in this disclosure.
Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Information about the pension plan’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and fiduciary net position are presented in CalPERS’ audited financial statements, which are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website, at www.calpers.ca.gov. The plan’s fiduciary net position and additions to/deductions from the plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis used by the pension plan, which is the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the plan. Investments are reported at fair value.

C) Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability, (Continued) The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss:
Net difference between
projected and actual earnings
on pension plan investments
5-year straight-line amortization
All other amounts Straight-line amortization over the expected average remaining service lives (EARSL) of all members that
are provided with benefits (active, inactive and
retired) as of the beginning of the measurement
period
The expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired) in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Plan (PERF C).
The EARSL for PERF C for the measurement period ending June 30, 2023 is 3.8 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 600,538 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 160,073 (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.
D) Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pension
As of the start of the measurement period (July 1, 2022), the City’s net pension liability was $25,577,351. For the measurement period ending June 30, 2022 (the measurement date), the Local Government incurred a pension expense of $3,613,977. The City’s net pension liability is typically liquidated through the General Fund.

9) OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT (OPEB) PLAN
A) Plan Description
In addition to providing pension benefits, the City provides certain health care benefits, through a single- employer OPEB Plan (the Plan), for retired employees in accordance with a City Council resolution. Substantially, all the City’s employees become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for the City. Those and similar benefits for active employees are provided through PERS whose premiums are based on the benefits paid during the year.
Retiree health care coverage is segregated into two tiers as follows:
Tier 1 – Employees Hired Before August 1, 1994(1) receive one of the following:
Miscellaneous and Safety Employees with 10 years of service with the City, with a regular service retirement, shall be eligible to receive 100% of the monthly benefit applicable towards the employee and one dependent, provided that employee plus one dependent coverage was in effect upon the date of retirement, up to Medicare age, and up to $300 per month thereafter for life.
Employees age fifty (50) or over received up to $300 per month for life.
Tier 2 – Employees Hired on or After August 1, 1994(1) receive one of the following:
Miscellaneous Employees with at least 15 years of continuous service with the City, and have reached the age of fifty-five (55) shall be eligible to receive 100% of the monthly benefit applicable towards the employee and one dependent, provided that employee plus one dependent coverage was in effect upon the date of retirement, up to Medicare age, and up to $300 per month thereafter for life.
Safety Employees with 10 years of service with the City shall be eligible to receive 50% of the monthly benefit applicable towards the employee and one dependent, if employee plus one dependent coverage was in effect upon the date of retirement. The percentage increases by 5% per year to 100% at 20 years of service up to Medicare age, and up to $300 per month thereafter for life.
(1) Applies to police employees hired after January 1, 1995.

10) 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.
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 or 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 2023-2024, the City of Los Alamitos paid $774,699 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. 11) 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.
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 $169,920 reported at June 30, 2024, 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.

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.

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 Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Fund, and Capital Projects Funds, with the exception of the Capital Outlay Capital Projects 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, 2024, based on calculations by City management, proceeds of taxes did not exceed appropriations.

Change in Assumptions:
There were no changes to benefit terms that applied to all members of the Public Agency Pool. Additionally, the figures above do not include any liability impact that may have resulted from Golden Handshakes that occurred after the June 30, 2021 valuation date, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material to the Public Agency Pool.
Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions.There were no assumption changes for 2021. For 2020, the Plan adopted a new amortization policy effective with the 2019 actuarial valuation. The new amortization policy shortens the period over which actuarial gains and losses are amortized from 30 years to 20 years with the payments computed as a level dollar amount. In addition, the new policy does not utilize a five-year ramp-up and ramp-down on UAL bases attributable to assumption changes and non-investment gains/losses. The new policy also does not utilize a five-year ramp-down on investment gains/losses. These changes apply only to new UAL bases established on or after June 30, 2019. There were no changes in assumptions in 2019. In 2018, demographic assumptions and inflation rate were changed in accordance to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions December 2017. There were no changes in the discount rate in 2019. In 2017, the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.65 percent to 7.15 percent. In 2016, there were no changes in the discount rate. In 2015, amounts reported reflect an adjustment of the discount rate from 7.5 percent (net of administrative expense) to 7.65 percent (without a reduction for pension plan administrative expense). In 2014, amounts reported were based on the 7.5 percent discount rate.
