INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the City Council
City of Loyalton, California
Qualified Opinion
Except for the effects ofthe matters described in the "Basis for Qualified Opinion" paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position ofthe governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund ofthe City ofLoyalton as ofJune 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position and where applicable, cash flows thereof for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The City does not utilize an accounting system with a self-balancing set ofaccounts for recording transactions to each fund. As a result entries can be posted to the general ledger causing the financial statements to be out ofbalance by fund and entries posted to funds causing material misstatement without being detected in a timely manner by the finance staff.
The City has not reviewed and adjusted prior year allocations for the enterprise funds debt service reserve transfers. The net effect of adjustments could result in material misstatements to these financial statements, the amount of which is unknown.
The City has not obtained an actuarial valuation and has not recorded the information in these financial statements in accordance with Governmental Accounting Board Statement No. 68 (GASB 68), for the pension commitment made to certain retirees ofthe City. As a result of not obtaining an actuarial valuation in accordance with GASB 68, the amount of misstatement to the net pension liability, the deferred outflow of resources, the deferred inflow of resources and pension expense is unknown.
Revenue from strike team incidents were deposited to the Loyalton Volunteers Fire Association (Association) and then transferred from the Association checking account to the City. The Association is operating as a non-profit organization, however they have not established legal non-profit status as a 501(c)(3). Because the Association is not a legally recognized organization their activities are not included in these financial statements as a component unit of the City, and as such the associated Strike Team activity was not audited for completeness. The effect ofthis condition on these financial statements is unknown.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Financial Statements section ofour report. We are required to be independent ofthe City ofLoyalton and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities ofManagement 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 City ofLoyalton's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, 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 generally accepted auditing standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis. evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understandingofinternal 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 City of Loyalton'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 City ofLoyalton's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period oftime.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing ofthe audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted the management's discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part offinancial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements are not affected by this missing information.
2 Other Information
The required supplementary information other than Management Discussion and Analysis, described as the budgetary comparison schedules in the table of contents on pages 27 and 28 are presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part ofthe basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), who considers it to be an essential part offinancial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica, which consisted ofinquiries ofmanagement about the methods ofpreparing 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
Note ]: Summary ofSignificant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of City of Loyalton, California, (the "City") have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica ("U.S. GAAP") as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") is the acceptable standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant ofthe City's accounting policies are described below.
A. Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated in 1901, as a municipal corporation operating under the general laws ofthe State of California. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides services including general government, public works, public safety, water, sewer, and parks and recreation. Control or dependence is determined on the basis of budget adoption, selection of governing authority and designation of management, outstanding debt secured by revenues or general obligations of the City and ability to significantly influence operations.
The financial reporting entity, as defined by the GASB, consists of the primary government, the City, organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and any other organization for which the nature and significance oftheir relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
B. Basis ofAccounting
The government-wide, proprietary and agency fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned or, for property tax revenues, in the period for which levied. Expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless ofthe timing of related cash flows. Revenue from sales tax is recognized when the underlying transactions take place. Revenues from grants, entitlements and donations are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligible requirements have been satisfied.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when both measurable and available. Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be determined and available means collectible in the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities ofthe current period. Resources not available to finance expenditures and commitments of the current period are recognized as deferred revenue or as a reservation of fund balance.
The City considers property taxes available ifthey are collected within sixty-days after year-end.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on general long-term debt, as well as compensated absences and claims and judgments are recorded only when payment is due. General capital acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds ofgeneral long-term debt and capital leases are reported as other financial sources.
When applicable, the City reports deferred revenue on its combined balance sheet. Deferred revenue arises when a potential revenue source does not meet both the measurable and available criteria for recognition in the current period. Deferred revenues also arise when resources are received by the City before it has legal claim to them, as when grant monies are received prior to the occurrences of qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods, when both revenue recognition criteria are met, or when the City has legal claim to the resources, deferred revenue is removed from the combined balance sheet and revenue is recognized.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities. 13 CITY OF LOYALTON
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
Note I: Summary ofSignificant Accounting Policies {Continued) C. Basis of Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and statement ofactivities display information about the primary government (the City). These statements include the financial activities of the overall government. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities ofthe City. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees charged to external parties.
The statement ofactivities demonstrates the degree to which the program expenses ofa given function are offset by program revenues. Program expenses include direct expenses, which are clearly identifiable with a specific function. Program revenues include 1) charges paid by the recipient ofgoods or services offered by the programs and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements ofa particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented instead as general revenues.
When both restricted and unrestricted net position are available, unrestricted resources are used only after the restricted resources are depleted.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds. Separate statements for each fund category - governmental and proprietary - are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in separate columns. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are separately aggregated and reported as non-major funds.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - This fund accounts for all the financial resources not required to be accounted for in another fund. This fund consists primarily ofgeneral government type activities.
Gas Tax Fund - This fund is used to account the revenues and expenditures of the State Gas Tax CDBG Fund - This is used to account for Community Development revenue and expenditures The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Water and Sewer Funds - account for the operation ofthe City's water and sewer utilities. Activities ofthese funds include administration, operation and maintenance of the water and sewer systems and billing and collection activities. The Funds also accumulate resources for, and payment of long-term debt principal and interest. All costs are financed through charges made to utility customers with rates reviewed regularly and adjusted ifnecessary to ensure the integrity ofthe Funds. 14 CITY OF LOYALTON
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
Note I: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued} D. Use ofEstimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
E. Cash Equivalents
For the purpose ofthe statement ofcash flows, the City considers cash and cash equivalents as short term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts ofcash and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk ofchanges in value because ofchanges in interest rates.
Restricted cash and unrestricted pooled cash and investments held by the City are considered cash equivalents for purposes ofthe combined statement ofcash flow's because the City's cash management pool and funds invested by the City possess the characteristics ofdemand deposit accounts.
F. Fixed Assets
Capital assets, recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost ifactual historical cost is not available, are reported in governmental activities column ofthe government-wide financial statements. Contributed fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair market value. Capital assets include land, buildings and building improvements and equipment. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost ofmore than $5,000.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value ofthe asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Depreciation is recorded in the government-wide financial statements on the straight-line basis over the useful life ofthe assets as follows:
Assets
Building and improvements
Utility Systems
Equipment and machinery
Useful Life
40-50 years
18-50 years
5-15 years
G. Property Tax
Sierra County is responsible for assessing, collecting and distributing property taxes in accordance with enabling legislation. Revenue received is based on an allocation factor calculated by the County under the provisions of Proposition t3 plus a percentage ofthe increase in market value in specific areas. The City's property tax is levied each July I on the assessed values as of the prior January I for all real and personal property located in the City.
Property sold after the assessment date (January 1) is reassessed and the amount ofproperty tax levied is prorated.
Secured property taxes are due in two equal installments; the first is due November I and delinquent with penalties after December IO; the second is due February 1 and delinquent with penalties after April 10. Unsecured property tax is levied on July I and due on July 31 and becomes delinquent on August 31.
Based on a policy by the County called the Teeter Plan, 100% of the allocated taxes are transmitted by the County to the City, eliminating the need for an allowance for uncollectable. The County, in return, receives all penalties and interest on the related delinquent taxes. 15 CITY OF LOYALTON

Note 1: Summary ofSignificant Accounting Policies (Continued) H. Balance Sheet Classifications
Certain resources are classified as restricted assets as their use is restricted for specific purposes by bond agreements, lease agreements, trust agreements, grant agreements, City Charter provisions, or other requirements.
Governmental fund types' restricted assets are for grant advances. Proprietary fund types' restricted assets are for renewal and replacement ofequipment and debt service reserves.
I. Compensated Absences
City employees are granted vacation in varying amounts based on classification and length of service. Upon termination or retirement, the City is to pay 100% ofthe vacation time accrued and 25-35% of the accrued sick leave depending on the length ofemployment with the City.
Governmental Funds - Governmental funds record expenditures for compensated absences as they are taken by employees.
Proprietary Funds - Proprietary funds record expenditures for compensated absences as they are taken by employees.
J. Intergovernmental Revenues
Federal and state governments reimburse the City for costs incurred on certain fixed asset construction projects under capital grant agreements. Amounts claimed under such grants are credited to intergovernmental revenues if the project is being administered by a Capital Projects fund or to contributed capital if administered by a Proprietary fund. Additionally, the City receives reimbursement from federal and state governments for other programs, such as streets, housing and rehabilitation. These reimbursements are recorded in the fund administering the program as intergovernmental revenues with related program costs included in expenditures.
The respective grant agreements generally require the City to maintain accounting records and substantiating evidence to determine ifall costs incurred and claimed are proper and that the City is in compliance with other terms of the grant agreements. These records are subject to audit by the appropriate government agency. Any amounts disallowed will reduce future claims or be directly recovered from the City.
K. Net Position
The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position are categorized as invested in capital assets (net ofrelated debt), restricted, and unrestricted. • Net investment in capital assets - Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement ofthose assets. • Restricted net position - Consists of net position with constraints placed on their use either by ( 1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. These principally include restrictions for capital projects, debt service requirements and other special revenue fund purposes. • Unrestricted net position - All other net position that do not meet the definition of "restricted" or "net investment in capital assets."

Note I: Summary ofSignificant Accounting Policies (Concluding) L. Fund Balances
As prescribed by GASB Statement No. 54, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the funds can be spent. As ofJune 30, 2022, fund balances for governmental funds are made up ofthe following:
• Non-spendable fund balance - includes amounts that are (a) not in spendable form, or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The "not in spendable form" criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash, for example: inventories, prepaid, and long-term receivables. • Restricted fund balance - includes amounts that can be spent for specific purposes stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally or through enabling legislation. Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only with the consent of resource providers. • Committed fund balance - includes amounts that can only be used for the specific purposes determined by a formal action ofthe City's highest level of decision-making authority, the City Council. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally (for example: resolution and ordinance).
• Assigned fund balance - comprises amounts intended to be used by the City for specific purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by (1) the City Council or (b) a body (for example: a budget or finance committee) orofficial to which City Counci I has delegated the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes.
• Unassigned fund balance - is the residual classification for the General Fund and includes all amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available for any purpose. In other governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeded the amounts restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, that fund would report a negative unassigned fund balance.
Note 2: Cash and Investments
The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund type's portion ofthis pool is displayed on the combined balance sheet as cash and investments. Unless otherwise dictated by legal or contractual requirements, income earned or losses arising from the investment of pooled cash are allocated on a quarterly basis to the participating funds and component units based on their proportionate shares of the average quarterly cash balance.
The City maintains "restricted cash and investments". Monies restricted are for debt service reserves and legal settlement funds for the wastewater treatment plant.
Cash and investments at June 30, 2022, consisted ofthe following:
Cash and investments $ 2,725,334
Restricted cash and investments 350,878
Total per statement of activities $ 3,076,212

A. Investments Authorized by the California Government Code and the Entity's Investment Policy The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for the City of Loyalton by the California Government Code (or the City's investment policy, where more restrictive). The table also identifies certain provisions ofthe 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 ofdebt proceeds held by bond trustees that are governed by the provisions ofdebt agreements ofthe City, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City investment policy.

B. Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value ofand investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values ofthe District's investments to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution ofthe District's investment by maturity:
Remaining Maturity (in Months)

Totals $ 2,034,887 $ 2,034,887 $
*Not subject to categorization
C. Concentrations ofCredit Risk
The investment policy ofthe City contains limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer. There are no investments to one issuer exceeding those limits.
D. 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 deposit or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession ofan outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event ofthe failure of the counterparty (e.g. broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment of collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits; The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secured deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the government unit). The fair value ofthe pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least I 10% ofthe total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure the City's deposits by pledging first deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% ofthe secured public deposits. 18 CITY OF LOYALTON

D. Custodial Credit Risk (Continued}
At June 30, 2022, the City's deposits balance was $1,051,488 and the carrying amount was $1,040,925. The difference between the bank balance and the carrying amount was due to normal outstanding checks and deposits in transit. Of the bank balance $801,488 was covered by the Federal Depository Insurance.
E. Investment in State Investment Pool
LAIF is included in the State's Pooled Money Investment Account. The total amount invested by all public agencies in the State's Pooled Money Investment Account approximates $231.57 billion. Ofthe $231.57 billion managed by the State Treasurer, l00% is invested in non-derivative financial products and 1.88% is invested in structured notes and asset-backed securities. The Local Investment Advisory Board (Board) has oversight responsibility for LAIF. The Board consists offive members as designated by state statute.
Investments are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of GASB Statement No. 31, which requires governmental entities to report certain investments at fair value in the balance sheet and recognize the corresponding change in fair value of investments in the year in which the change occurred. The City reports its investments at fair value based on quoted market information obtained from fiscal agents or other sources ifthe change is material to the financial statements.
Note 3: Liability, Insured Programs and Workers Compensation Protection The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction ofassets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. In 1986, the City joined together with other cities in the State to form Small Cities Organized Risk Effort (SCORE), a public entity risk pool currently operating as a common risk management and insurance program for member cities. The City pays an annual premium to SCORE for its insurance coverage. The Agreement for Formation ofthe SCORE provides that SCORE will be self-sustaining through member premiums and will reinsure through commercial companies for claims in excess of self-insured levels. A Board of Directors governs the SCORE, consisting of one member appointed by each Member City. A management group employed by the SCORE handles the day-to-day business. At the tennination ofthe joint power agreement and after all claims been settled, any excess or deficit will be divided among the cities in accordance with its governing documents. Financial statements ofSCORE are available at the City. 19 CITY OF LOYALTON

The City believes the estimated useful lives ofsome ofthe assets involved at the Wastewater Treatment Plant will be much less than was previously anticipated at the time the assets were completed. Depreciation expense has been increased accordingly. The ultimate useful life ofthese items will depend on the alternative corrective action the City selects for repair ofthe facility.

COMMUNICATION OF SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES AND MATERIAL WEAKNESSES To: City Council
City ofLoyalton
We have audited the financial statements of City of Loyalton as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and have issued our report thereon dated November 17, 2022. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica.
In planning and performing our audit, we considered City ofLoyalton' s (City) internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose ofexpressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe City's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course ofperforming their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination ofdeficiencies in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration ofthe internal control overfinancial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and, therefore, there can be no assurance that all such deficiencies have been identified. We consider findings 2022-001 through 2022-005 in the following schedule of findings to be deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider finding FS 2022-006 through FS 2022-011 in the following schedule of findings to be significant deficiencies in the City's internal control:
City of Loyalton's Response to Findings
The City of Loyalton's written response to the significant deficiencies identified in our audit and any follow up for subsequent year corrections has not been subjected to the audit procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the responses.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose ofthis report is solely to describe the scope ofour testing of internal controls over financial reporting and the result ofthat testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe City's internal control. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting, accordingly this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
This report is intended solely for the information and use ofthe board of directors and management ofCity ofLoyalton.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS
JUNE 30, 2022
Significant Deficiencies Deemed Material Weaknesses
Finding 2022-001: During our setup ofthe auditor's trial balance we noted the City general ledger is not a self-balancing set ofaccounts per fund. Significant adjustments need to be made in order to balance the funds. Furthermore the City trial balance had not been adjusted for the prior year audit entries and therefore the equity was not be in balance by fund. We noted the City hired a qualified external accountant to assist with posting the prior year audit entries and with balancing the funds. The risk of material misstatement resulting from these conditions is high and this is a condition for the qualified opinion on the financial statements. We have noted this condition in prior audits.
Current Year Follow Up: Condition not corrected during the current year audit period. The City started the conversion to a fund accounting software program, but was unable to complete the conversion and went back to using QuickBooks. For the June 30, 2021 fiscal year-end audit, the City is using an outside accountant to assist with balancing the funds.
Recommendation: We recommend the City continue to pursue replacing QuickBooks with fund accounting software.
City Response: As a small rural government agency, the City faces challenges due to limited resources and staff. The Covid pandemic has exacerbated these challenges. At this time, the City must rely on the system in place and the external accountants it contracts with to complete the fiscal year end fund balancing process. This arrangement has proven the most reliable and accurate. The City continues to consider fund accounting software program options for future implementation.
Finding 2022-002: During our audit we proposed a material journal entry increasing deferred revenue $18,851 to offset the leap grant receivable that was accrued at June 30, 2022, but not received within 90 days from fiscal year. We also recorded a journal entry to reduce accounts receivable by $23,587 for a restored beginning balance entry that was made in error.
During our audit we proposed entries that weren't considered material to a) reduce accrued payroll $11,171, and b) to accrue an additional $6,361 accounts receivable for Sierra County 2021 /22 revenue.
Recommendation: We recommend as part of year-end closing procedures, the City agree each account in the final trial balance to the underlying documentation.
City Response: The City has reviewed and recorded the recommended year-end adjustments.
Finding 2022-003: During our audit we noted the City entered into a settlement agreement with four retirees of the City, whereby the City agreed to pay a portion ofthe amount ofpension benefits that the retirees receive from Cal PERS. As a result of this agreement the City is subject to rules ofGovernment Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 68 (GASB 68) for pension plans. During the 2018/19 fiscal year the City did not hire an actuarial to determine the net pension liability, the deferred outflows of resources, the deferred inflows of resources and the pension expense on an actuarial basis. This was a condition for the qualified opinion. We have noted this condition in prior audits.
Current Year Follow Up: No change in obtaining an actuarial in compliance with GASB 68.
In the 2021/22 fiscal year, the allocation basis was approximately 28% allocated to the general fund compared to 15% in the prior fiscal year, 36% allocated to the water fund compared to 42.5% in the prior fiscal year and 36% allocated to the sewer fund compared to 42.5% in the prior fiscal year. The 2021/22 fiscal year budget indicated that the retirement expense would be allocated 50/50 to water and sewer and did not allocate any retirement expense to the general fund.
Recommendation: We recommend the City obtain an actuarial report for the pension benefits and record the activity in the financial statements in accordance with GASB 68. We also City Council to review the allocation methodology of the retirement expense and give the finance staff direction on how to allocate between the funds. 3 CITY OF LOYALTON
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS
JUNE 30, 2022
Significant Deficiencies Deemed Material Weaknesses (Continued) City Response: The City actively seeks resources to obtain the recommended actuarial report. Once this is achieved the City will consider a budget for the long-term liability.
Finding 2022-004: During our review ofthe Gas Tax fund, we noted the fund balance ended with a negative fund balance of $22,539. The Gas Tax fund appears to have a structural deficit. Furthermore, as ofJune 30, 2022, the gas tax fund owes other funds net $43,709, and has an advance from FEMA of $55,465 that is required to be spent on a disaster relief project. The Gas Tax fund had $76,638 cash as ofJune 30, 2022. We have noted these condition in prior audits Recommendation: We recommend the City review the activity in the Gas Tax fund and take action to cure the deficit fund balance and either complete the FEMA project or repay the money that was advanced.
City Response: The City has set aside the unspent balance ofthe FEMA funds in a separate account and is in the process of securing contracts to complete any outstanding projects.
Finding 2022-005: During our testing of revenue we noted revenue from the Dixie strike team incident in the amount of $72,361.91, a second revenue check for the Dixie fire in the amount of$19,639.43 and revenue from pre-position in the amount of $135,855.61, were all deposited to the Loyalton Volunteers Fire Association (Association) and then transferred from the Association to the City. The Association appears to be operating as a non-profit organization, however they have not established legal non-profit status as a 50 l(c)(3). We have noted this condition in the prior audit.
Because the Association is not a legally recognized organization their activities are not included in the financial statements as a component unit ofthe City, and as such the Strike Team activity could not be audited for completeness. This is a condition for the qualified opinion in the auditor's report.
City Response: The Loyalton Fire Department is an all-volunteer Fire Department. All incident response invoices and backup documentation, along with strike team payments are retained by the City. There was one incident (Dixie) where there was a mistake in the online payment system on who to make the check payable to and it was corrected immediately.
Significant Deficiencies Not Deemed Material Weaknesses Finding 2022-006: We noted the City does not have a current investment policy and a current conflict of interest policy. The investment policy is required to be reviewed and adopted bi-annually. We have noted this condition in prior audits.
Recommendation: We recommend the City adopt the investment policy biannually.
City Response: The City has both a basic investment policy and a conflict-of-interest policy and continues to review all policies on a regular basis. The City seeks administrative assistance to further support these actions.
Finding 2022-007: We noted the City had a lack of segregation of duties, as one person is capable of handling all aspects of certain transactions from beginning to end. A lack of segregation ofduties increases the risk of potential errors or irregularities occurring without being detected; however, due to a limited number ofpersonnel an adequate segregation ofduties is not possible without incurring additional costs. We have noted this condition in prior audits.
City Response: Due to our small budget, it is not feasible to hire enough staff to mitigate this finding. The City is aware of the deficiency and has taken steps to minimize risk. The City has a part-time Clerk, a Bookkeeper, two outside Financial Consultants, and an ongoing Finance Committee. Financial policy reviews are in progress. 4 CITY OF LOYALTON
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS
JUNE 30, 2022
Significant Deficiencies Not Deemed Material Weaknesses (Continued) Finding 2022-008: We noted the City did not implement the provisions ofGovernment Accounting Standards Board Statement 54 as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting policies. This new standard went into effect for fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. The requirement categorizes fund balances into five separate categories and sets a definition for special revenue funds.
We have noted this condition in prior audits.
Current Year Follow Up: No Change.
Recommendation: We recommend the City review the provisions ofGASB 54 and take action to adopt this standard. We also recommend the City create a schedule track all restricted, unspendable and committed fund balances in compliance with GASB
54. City Response: The City is aware ofthe provisions ofthe GASB 54 standards and works to track fund balances appropriately.
The City invests in training for its accounting staff to ensure they are educated in and able to implement the GASB 54 standards. The City further works to educate the Financial Committee members on the provisions.
Finding 2022-009: During our testing ofthe general checking account, we noted the June 2022 bank rec for account new 1956 showed a July 31, 2022 date with a reconciliation date of July 12, 2022, it appears City staff entered the wrong date when performing the June 2022 bank rec. The reconciliation had uncleared checks for checks that were written in July. We also noted many checks written in July that were backdated to June 30. We noted the bank reconciliation had a balance of $173,363, however the general ledger had a balance of$249,025. We noted the bank rec showed outstanding checks of$87,326 where we calculated outstanding checks should have been $21,060 and the bank rec showed deposits in transit of$12,825 as opposed to $1,177. We have noted weak controls over the bank reconciliation in past audits.
Recommendation: We recommend recording checks in QuickBooks the day the check is written (no backdating). We recommend agreeing the reconciled bank balance to the general ledger and explaining any variances. We recommend agreeing outstanding checks and deposits in transit to the underlying activity.
City Response: City accounting staffwill work to recognize exact liabilities at year end and agreeing to bank balances.
Finding 2022-010: During our audit we noted the City has $842,678 interfund loans recorded between the general fund, special revenue funds and the enterprise funds. The interfund loans appear to be an accumulation ofreconciling entries needed to balance the funds at year-end, because the City does not utilize an accounting software program with a self-balancing set of accounts. These interfund loans are classified as due to, due from other funds. The interfund loans have been on the City books for several years and as such they appear to be long-term in nature. Long-tenn interfund loans should be categorized as advances to and advance from other funds and should carry interest that would be paid from the borrowing fund to the lending fund. We have noted this condition in prior audits.
Recommendation: We recommend the City review the due to/due from accounts and determine if the interfund balances should be paid offor converted to advances with terms such as an amortization schedule showing when the payments will be made and the interest rate associated with the lending.
City Response: The City is working to detennine the origination ofthe separate interfund balances. 5 CITY OF LOYALTON
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS
JUNE 30, 2022
Significant Deficiencies Not Deemed Material Weaknesses (Continued) Finding 2022-011: During our testing of payroll we noted strike team members and City Council Members are being paid through accounts payable. IRS rules require these payments to be paid through payroll with all applicable payroll tax deductions. We have noted this condition in prior audits.
Recommendation: In order to avoid potential fines and to comply with IRS rules, we recommend the City process strike team pay and City Council pay through payroll with all applicable payroll deductions.
City Response: During staffchangeover there was a period oftime when Council Member's pay did not process through payroll, the City has plans to correct the error. The City is in the process of reviewing the recommendation regarding Strike Team pay with counsel and working to create a policy regarding Strike Team pay. 6 .

To the City Council
City of Loyalton
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental-type activities, business-type activities and fund information of City of Loyalton for the fiscal year ended June 30. 2022, and have issued our report thereon dated November 17, 2022. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibility under U.S. Generally AcceptedAuditing Standards As stated in our engagement letter dated August 27. 2022, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express opinions about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit ofthe financial statements does not relieve you or management ofyour responsibilities.
Planned Scope and Timing oftlte Audit
We performed the audit in accordance with the planned scope and timing previously communicated on August 27, 2022.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects ofAccounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the terms ofour engagement letter, we will advise management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies used by City of Loyalton are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the 2021-2022 fiscal year. We noted no transactions entered into by the governmental unit during the year for which there is a lack ofauthoritative guidance or consensus.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events.
Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because oftheir significance to the financial statements and because ofthe possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate(s) affecting the financial statements was (were):
Management's estimate of the useful lives of assets for calculating depreciation expense is based on GFOA recommended useful lives. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the useful life estimates in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management's estimate in allocating salaries and other expenses to governmental and business type funds are based on actual timesheets as well as estimated percentages ofcertain employee and management time based on historical activity. We reviewed the allocations and assumptions used by management in determining reasonableness to the financial statements. During the 2021-22 fiscal year management again reviewed the allocation and made adjustments as deemed necessary.
1 ..
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We provided management with all known adjusting entries and after review all entries were posted to the accounting system. A prior period adjustment was recorded in the general fund and the gas tax fund to comply with the Cities maintenance of effort requirements for State Road Maintenance funding.
Disagreements with Management
For purpose ofthis letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significance to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated November 17, 2022.
Management Consultation with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. Ifa consultation involves application ofan accounting principle to the governmental unit's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety ofmatters, including the application ofaccounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
This information is intended solely for the use ofthe City Council and management ofCity ofLoyalton and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Community Development Block Grant
• 1.5.2023 Spoke with Felicity Gasser. the rural specialist for CBDG's and this grant is flexible and a good fit for our projects. Due to our 55% low to medium income as well as not being funded by them since the 1990's we are in a good position to be funded if applied.
