Plan. On December 15, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-1110 adopting the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (“FPEIR”) for the Housing Element Update Proj ect (State Clearinghouse No. 2022010031) (“Project”). Based on data and analysis and findings of the FPEIR, the Project would not directly result in significant adverse environmental impacts. All potential impacts were determined to be less than significant without mitigation or can be reduced to a less than significant level with implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the FPEIR. Additionally, no cumu lative significant impacts were identified in the FPEIR based on findings that the Project’s contributions to such impacts are considered not to be cumulatively considerable.
In addition, the project site is not included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 (California Department of Toxic Substances Control list of various hazardous sites).
Any person wishing to comment on the proposed project may do so in writing between the date of this notice and the public hearing; or, may appear and be heard at the time and place noted above. All comments must be received prior to the time of public hearing. All such comments will be submitted to the City Council, and the City Council will consider such comments, in addition to any oral testimony, before making a decision on the proposed project.
If this project is challenged in court, the issues may be limited to those raised at the public hearing, described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City Council at, or prior to, the public hearing. Be advised that as a result of public hearings and comment, the City Council may amend, in whole or in part, the proposed project. Accordingly, the designations, development standards, design, improvements, or any properties or lands within the boundaries of the proposed project, may be changed in a way other than specifically proposed.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Receive and file the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and other audit reports for the fiscal year end June 30, 2023.
DISCUSSION
Following the completion and receipt of the City’s annual financial audit, the Finance Department will present to the City Council the City’s annual financial statements and financial audit. The statements are referred to, collectively, as an Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (“ACFR”).
The format and content requirements for ACFRs are set forth in guidelines developed by the Government Finance Officers Associations of the United States and Canada and the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers.
The ACFR is divided into three major sections: the introductory section, the financial section, and the statistical section. The introductory section includes the letter of transmittal, a directory of City officials in office as of the report date, and an organization chart. The financial section includes the independent auditors’ report, management’s discussion and analysis, and the financial statements, including notes to the financial statements. The statistical section includes financial trend information and demographic information about the City.
The financial statements were audited by the independent public accounting firm of Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP Certified Public Accountants, whose unmodified opinion is included within the financial section of the report. An unmodified opinion indicates that the financial statements present fairly the financial position of the City of Menifee as of June 30, 2023, and that the results of operations are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The audited financial statements are for the City of Menifee, which is the primary government.
The City does not have any component units, such as a Redevelopment Agency.
As part of the audit, the audit firm also reviewed and performed tests of the City’s internal accounting control procedures to determine if there are any material weaknesses or instances of non-compliance. Based on the audit, no material weaknesses were noted. Two other reports are also included in the packet that support these findings: 1) the report on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and other matters based on an audit of financial statements performed in accordance with government auditing standards; and 2) the communication with those charged with governance (also referred to as the SAS-114 letter).
The City’s ACFR for the fiscal year end June 30, 2023 is attached to this staff report and is also available for review in the City Clerk’s Office and Finance Department. In addition, the ACFR will be distributed to the City Council, various federal and state government agencies, rating agencies and financial institutions, and will be made available on the City’s website for interested citizens.

Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council & Citizens of the City of Menifee, California
It is our pleasure to submit the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the City of Menifee (City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The City annually issues a report on its financial position and activity, audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants. The City’s Finance Department prepared this report in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and other sources. This ACFR also conforms to GASB St atement No. 34 financial report standards, providing the reader a dual-perspective financial report. The report contains a citywide view of all governmental activities, as well as a focus on the financial position and operating results of the City’s major funds.
Responsibility for the accuracy of the data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentations including disclosures, rests with the City. To provide a reasonable basis for making these presentations, 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 presentation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because the cost 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 misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the various funds of the City. Also, all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial activities have been included.
Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP, Certified Public Accountants, have issued unmodified opinions on the City of Menifee’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023. The independent auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Generally accepted accounting principles requires that management provide a narrative introduction overview and analysis to accompany the basic financ ial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of tr ansmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with the MD&A which can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

Profile of the City of Menifee
The City of Menifee is located approximately 80 miles southeast of Los Angeles in the southwestern portion of Riverside County. The City incorporated on October 1, 2008 as a general law city. As of 2022, the City has slightly more than 106,000 residents and covers an area of over 46 square miles. As a general law city, Menifee is governed by a five-member City Council operating under the Council/Manager form of government. Beginning with the November 2012 election, the Council consists of four Council Members elected by district who serve a four year term on a staggering basis, and a Mayor elected at large who serves a four year term. The City Council is responsible for passing City ordinances, resolutions, adopting the annual budget, appointing commissions and committees, and setting policy. The City Council appoints the City Attorney and City Manager who in turn appoints the heads of the various departments and other city staff.
The City provides a wide range of services including planning, building, public works, engineering, parks and recreation, police and general administrative activities. Services are also provided to the City and its citizens by contract and by the direct services of other government agencies and organizations. These services include animal control through Animal Friends of the Valley for animal field services and participation as a member of the Joint Powers Authority (JPA) for animal sheltering services. Fire protection are provided through contract with the County of Riverside while water and sewer services are provided by the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD). Library services and public health services are provided by the County of Riverside. Franchise agreements for electricity services are provided through Southern California Edison (SCE), natural gas through Sempra Utilities (So. Cal. Gas), refuse collection through a franchise agreement with Waste Management, public transit through the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), and cable service through state franchise agreements with Mediacom, Charter and Frontier.
Although the City is distinctively residential in character, the City has the potential for a strong economic base and staff is working diligently to enhance this opportunity. Currently the major commercial bases are anchored by the Countryside Marketplace, Center Pointe, Newport Towne Square, Menifee Plaza, Cherry Hills Plaza, and other key focal points near the I-215, Newport Road and McCall Boulevard. Within the last fiscal year, the City welcomed several new businesses including Black Bear Diner, Café Mercato, and Exquisites Tapas. Expectations are high as the City looks to the future and anticipated new key retailers such as Chick-fil-A, Hampton Inn & Suites, Yoshiharu Ramen and others. The addition of the Football Stadium and Kinesiology Building at Mt. San Jacinto College with Family and Civic Courthouse to be completed in the upcoming year will also serve as additional amenities for the Menifee community. Other future development projects include amenities such as entertainment venues, restaurants and other retail, offices, and lodging.
Local Economy
Mirroring the national, state and regional economies, the City of Menifee’s economy has rebounded significantly from the initial negative impact from the Covid-19 pandemic. However, with national historic inflation, continued international supply chain issues, and rising interest rates, the impacts of these macroeconomic factors are reflected in the local economy. The unemployment rate has continued to improve from the prior years, decreasing from 7.5% in 2021 to 4.2% in 2022, as the impacts of Covid-19 on overall unemployment and the region returns to pre-pandemic employment levels. During the FY2022-23 period the City and local region experienced a steady and consistent marked increase in new construction in addition to Item Title: 12.1

increases in single family home sale prices, wh ich has led to increased assessed valuations.
Locally, the number of building permits issued has experienced an increase of 5.07% (from 5,959 to 6,261), while the number of planning applications have decreased(from 402 to 336).
Retail sales continued to experience growth, albeit at a slower pace then prior years. Bradley Burns Sales tax collections increased from $12,089,553 in fiscal year 2020-21 to $12,287,692 in fiscal year 2022-23, a 1.64% increase primarily due to continued population growth in the area.
Quality of Life (Measure DD) Sales Tax collect ions increased from $19,607.014 in fiscal year 2021-22 to $634,904 in fiscal year 2021-22, a 0.14% increase. This was the sixth full year of collection of this 1% additional sales tax that was passed by the voters in November 2016.
While both Bradley Burns Sales Tax and Quality of Life Sales Tax collection reflected overall increases from the prior year, the increases were modest, and reflect the overall national conditions signaling a potential economic slowdown in the upcoming year.
As part of the State of California’s Fiscal Year 2011-12 Budget, the Governor signed Senate Bill 89 (SB 89), which shifted millions of Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenues to fund state law enforcement grants. This legislation particularl y impacted newly incorporated cities such as Menifee, which received a special allocation from VLF revenues. The impact due to SB 89 for the City of Menifee in Fiscal Year 2016-17 was estimated to be a loss of approximately $4.3 million, which the City addressed through budgetary measures. In the State of California budget for fiscal year 2017-18 SB 130 was introduced, signed and made into law. With SB 130 the City of Menifee’s annual VLF revenues were restored. In fiscal year 2021-22 the City received $8,381,816, in fiscal year 2022-23 the City received $9,587,382 an increase of 14.28%.
Budget Process
The City’s operating budget and five-year capital improvement plan is adopted annually by the City Council no later than the close of the prior fiscal year and serves as the foundation for planning and controlling the City’s finances. The budget process begins early in spring and encompasses budget workshops with the public and City Council in order to promote transparency and to develop goals and objectives with the community’s best interest at heart.
As the City of Menifee is still relatively new and growing, the primary goal for the City continues to be maintaining a good balance between augmenting City staff and services, and utilizing existing resources efficiently as well as minimizing costs as much as possible.

During the year, supplemental appropriations are made to the adopted budget and approved by City Council as necessary. The City Manager is authorized to approve operating transfers between departments within a fund without limits and may reduce expenditure appropriations within a fund as a method of fiscal control. The Chief Financial Officer may decrease revenue estimates to reflect changes in the economy within the fiscal year. Annually, staff prepares and presents mid-year budget adjustments to City Council for their approval. This process incorporates updating beginning fund balances per the annual audit report and adjusting the budget as dictated by changes in the City’s goals and objectives or due to economic or legislative changes. All appropriations lapse at year-end, except those approved for carryover through encumbrances or by Council resolution.
Long-term Financial Planning
The City has adopted a fund balance policy in compliance with GASB Statement No. 54, which sets the goal of maintaining the General Fund unrestricted balance in an amount equal to thirty- five percent (35%) of general fund expenditures. 12.5% of these reserves are committed or set aside for use specifically in the case of the declaration of a state or federal emergency, or a local emergency as defined in Menifee Municipal Code 1.10.010. The City’s Finance Committee, made up of two City Councilmembers and Finance staff, has made it a priority to work with staff to develop necessary and appropriate fiscal policies to guide the City’s future operations. The Finance Committee and City staff will also be working together on the development of a long-term financial plan for the City. In fiscal year, 2023-24, the City will review its financial capacity to increase the fund balance policy threshold.
Annually, during the City’s budget process, the City’s engineering staff takes a five-year capital project budget to City Council for adoption. For FY 2022-23 in the five year capital project budget there were a total of 25 projects identified with requested funding totaling $18,329,003, from various sources. These 25 projects consist of six transportation projects, two traffic signal projects, three street improvement projects, six pavement management projects, three facility projects and four parks, trails and recreation projects. As a fast growing community, Menifee continues to prioritize funding resources and efforts into capital projects. In December 2022, the City officially broke ground on the Holland Ranch Overpass Project, a $35 million infrastructure investment to support much needed traffic mitigation efforts. Design and pre-construction efforts on the Bradley Road Bridge and the widening of Scott Road west to Bundy Canyon Road continued through FY2022-23. These projects are vital to alleviate traffic congestion and improve safety, and the City continues to aggressively seeking various methods of funding and is also looking into local, regional and state collaborations. On the recreation side, in November 2022, the City officially opened the Gale Webb, Kids R #1 Action Sports Park, a 6-acre, 22,000 foot pump track, and bicycle playground with ov er 30 obstacles, making Menifee home to the largest bike park of its kind in the region. Lastl y, in December 2022, a new state-of-the-art fire facility that will provide a significant increase in the amount of personnel and equipment that can be utilized at the station.
The City conducted a comprehensive citywide user fee study and development impact fee (DIF) study update during FY2021-22 and formally updated a new schedule on October 5, 2022, with ab effective date of January 1,2023. The user fee st udy examined all existing fees for service, and will provide an updated fee schedule reflecting the costs to provide each service. The DIF study update was conducted to review the existing impact fees to ensure that these are compatible to today’s construction costs and meet the future needs of the City. These fees will be imposed on new construction and will bring much needed financial relief to the City by expanding current and future roadways and constructing new public facilities.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable City Council
City of Menifee, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Menifee (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective fi nancial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggr egate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in ac cordance 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statem ents 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.
Emphasis of a Matter
As discussed in Note 1 of the fi nancial statements, the City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 96, Subscription Based IT Arrangements. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statem ents in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Un ited 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 subst antial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financia l 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 audi t conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement wh en 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, misrepre sentations, or the overri de 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 misstat ement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit proce dures 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 circumst ances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s intern al 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 condi tions 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 char ged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audi t findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the Unit ed States of America requi re 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 pl acing the basic financial st atements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of manage ment 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 du ring our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any as surance 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 opi nions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The su pplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional anal ysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining schedules and budgetary comparison information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underl ying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such 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 underlyi ng accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financi al statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards gener ally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stat ed, 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. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the financia l statements do not cover t he other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assu rance thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read th e other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information a nd the financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, ba sed on the work perform ed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we ar e required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 21, 2023 on our consideration of the City’s internal cont rol over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, re gulations, 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 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.

CITY OF MENIFEE
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Menifee, California, we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activiti es of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. We encourage readers to consider the informat ion presented here in conjunction with additional information beyond what we have furnished in ou r letter of transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of this report, and with the City’s financial statements, which follow this discussion.
Financial Highlights
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City ex ceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows or resources at June 30, 2023, by $488.8 million (net position). Of this amount, $80 million is restricted for public works, future capital projects and debt service.
• As of June 30, 2023, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $169.2 million.
• At June 30, 2023, the Unassigned Fund Balanc e for the General Fund was $56.3 million, an additional $10.4 million was Committed for use in the event of an emergency as well as an additional $4.8 million for the construction of a future City Hall, $10.4 million was Assigned for economic uncertainty, and $13.1 million for vari ous assignments of fund balance. Council action in 2021 set fund balance requirements at Co mmitted of 12.5%, Assigned of 12.5% and Unassigned Fund Balance of 10% for a total required Fund Balance of 35% of budgeted expenditures. The actual ending General Fund ba lance for FY2022-23 is 76.03% of FY2022-203 adjusted budgeted expenditures. The fund balance amounts are reviewed each year as part of the budget process.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s Basic Financial Statements. The City’s Basic Finan cial Statements consist of three components: 1) Government-wide Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements, and 3) Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.
This report also contains other su pplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
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, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resour ces with the difference between them reported as net position. Over time increases in the net position may serv e 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 government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
The government-wide financial statements present info rmation about the functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) . The governmental activities of the City include gene ral government, engineering and public works, public safety, community development and recreation services.

The Government-wide Financial Statements can be found in the Table of Contents under the heading Basic Financial Statements.
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. T he fund financial statements provide detailed information about the individual funds—not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law. However, the City Council establishes many other funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and other money. The City of Menifee uses primarily governmental funds and one fiduciary fund for accounting and reporting purposes.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narro wer than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to com pare 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 im pact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds Balance Sheet and the governmental funds 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 various individual governmental f unds. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet, and in the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances. The General Fund, the Development Impact Fees Fund, and the Grants Fund are considered to be major funds, and are presented in individual columns in the fund statements. Data from other non-major govern mental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The Governmental Fund Financial Statements can be found in the Table of Contents under the heading Basic Financial Statements.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources he ld for the benefit of parties outside the government.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-w ide financial statement be cause the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of Menifee’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for prop rietary funds. The City has one fiduciary fund – the Custodial Fund, which is used to hold deposits that the City holds on behalf of outside parties. The Fiduciary Funds Financial Statements can be found in the Table of Contents under the heading Basic Financial Statements.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The Notes to the Basic Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential for a full understanding of the data provided in the government- wide and fund financial statements. The Notes to the Basic Financial Statements c an be found in the Table of Contents under the heading Notes to Financial Statements.

Government-wide Financial Analysis
The government-wide financial statements provide long- term and short-term information about the City’s overall financial condition. This analysis addresses the financial statements of the City as a whole.
For fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 the City of Meni fee’s total net position increased 12.92 percent from $432.9 million for fiscal year ending 2022, to $488.8 million for fiscal year ending 2023. The largest portion of the City’s net position, $317.8 million or 65.12 percent, reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, improvements other than buildin gs, equipment, infrastructu re and construction in progress); less any related debt used to acquire th ose assets, which is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently these assets are not available for future spending. Although the city’s investment in its capita l assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt mu st be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. Of t he remaining total, $80 million is restricted to specifically stipulat ed spending agreements originated by law, contract or other agreements with external parties.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
As noted earlier, 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 pr ovide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information may be 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.
Below, the Statement of Revenues, Expenditure s, and Change in Fund Balances shows the governmental activities fund balances for the two fiscal years ending June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Governmental funds are divided into two categories consisting of major and non-major funds. During the year ending June 30, 2023, three funds were classified as major governmental funds, consisting of the General Fund, the Development Impact Fees Fund, and the Grants Fund. All other funds were classified as non-major funds. A major fund is any individual f und that meets the criteria of the following combined two tests: 1) a fund is classified as a major fund if the corresponding total revenues, expenses or (expenditures), assets or liability for that fund are at least 10 percent of the total of the aggregate for all funds and; 2) at least 5 percent of the total aggregate for all funds combined. The General Fund is always classified as a major fund while all other funds must meet the qualifications to be a major fund.

As of fiscal year ending 2023, the City’s total governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $169.2 million, an increase of $19,503,202 from the prior fiscal year. The General Fund, which is the chief operating fund of the City, had a f und balance of $90,190,765 million as of June 30, 2023.
This is an increase of $13,285,058 over the prior year. This increase is also due primarily as a result of an increase in Quality of Life (Meas ure DD) sales tax and increased property tax revenues compared to the prior year.
As mentioned earlier, the City’s total governmental funds ending fund balances, is $169.2 million of which $56.3 million represents unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of fund balance, $113.9 million, is either non-spendable, restricted (to indicate that it be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constituti on, enabling legislation or external providers); committed (can be used only for specific purposes determined by formal action of a government’s legislative body); or assigned (intended to be used for spec ific purposes but does not meet the higher criteria of restricted or committed).
As of June 30, 2023, unassigned fund balance of the General Fund is $56.3 million, with an additional $10.4 million committed by Council action for emergencies and $4.7 million for a future City Hall; $10.4 million is assigned for economic uncertainty, $391,7 35 for fire safety, $565,041 for general plan update, $450,000 for the Central Park Amphitheater, $1 million for a future community center, $223k for the Bradley Bridge Project, $5.5 million from the Nova Community Benefit Agreement (CBA) payment, and $187,501 for eligible technology updates (Technology surcharge).
Overall, General Fund revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 totaled $93.5 million, compared to $80.6 million for the previous year. General Fund revenues can be broken down into six major categories shown below. By far, sales tax is the City’s single largest source of revenue. Sales tax revenues have increased 0.75% over prior year. Propert y tax revenue is the City’s second largest source of revenue. Property taxes have increased 16.37% from prior year. Both property and sales tax revenues combined represent 56.10% of the City’s total General Fund revenues and have increased as a result of the City’s Quality of Life (Measure DD) 1% sales tax increase and growth in local property values.
Development related fees (building, planning, fire and engineering permits and fees) decreased by
15.46% from the prior year as FY2022- 23 reflected an overall decrease in development activity from the prior due to increased interest rates and constructi on costs. FY2021-22 development activity reflected a strong residential market, with re mote working flexibility encouraging many prospective homeowners to purchase a home within the region.

FY2022-23 General Fund revenues (within the Other category in the graph above) includes a one-time revenue of approximately $5.5 million from the Nova Park Community Benefit Agreement (CBA). These funds have been transferred to an Assigned Fund Balance account, for future determination of use.
General Fund expenditures totaled $84.1 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, compared to $70.8 million for the previous year. This increase of $13 million was due to overall personnel cost increases of $9 million, and well as increases in fire contract services of $3.5 million compared to FY2021-22. At the end of FY2021-22 the City had an approved workforce of 302.65 FTEs, compared to an ending workforce of 320.40 FTEs for FY2022-23, with the addition of 17.75 FTEs. The expanded workforce costs are reflected in the FY2022-23 actual s. Of note with respect to personnel costs, one significant increase in FY2022-23 compared to t he prior year, was the unfunded pension liability, representing an increase of $1.1 million compared to FY2021-22. The increase reflects a larger workforce as well as lower than expected PERS investment returns. Fire Contract services increased from $12.09 million in FY2021-22 to $15.6 million in FY2022-23 due to a combination of an additional medic unit added into operations during the year, as well as c ontract increases passed on from the County of Riverside reflecting labor negotiations.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Revenues:
In closing out FY2022-23, four of t he City’s top five revenues had final year actuals higher than adjusted budget amounts. In total Property Tax, Developm ent revenue (planning, engineering and building permit activity), VLF, and Franchise Fee revenue totaled $3.7 million higher than the adjusted budget. Sales Tax revenue actuals, including the fourth year of collecti ons of the City’s Quality of Life (Measure DD) 1% sales tax, were approximately $764k less than the adjusted budget, with a lower performance in the last quarter of the fiscal year, signaling slowing retail activity, reflecting overall national retail trends and economic conditions. Development revenue was $2.3 m illion higher than the adjusted budget, with more activity in the final months of the fiscal year.
In total General Fund revenues, net of transfer s and SBITA/Lease Acquisition, were $9.5 million higher than the adjusted budget primarily due to the combined impact of: one-time revenue receipt of $5.5 million from the Nova Community Benefit Agreement (CBA), increased property taxes, VLF, and Franchise fee revenue offset by CEQA revenue being $3.8 million less than the adjusted budget. CEQA revenues and expenditures represent revenues and expenses associated with required private development environmental studies and analysis. Asso ciated CEQA expenses are fully paid by the respective development project as the expenses are realized. During FY2022-23, the City had extensive CEQA work underway, continuing into the new fiscal year, represented by approximately $6.3 million in adjusted budget revenues and expenditures. Actual revenues for FY2022-23, CEQA revenue was $2.5 million.
Expenditures:
Total General Fund expenditures were approximately $52.3 million less than the budgeted amounts mostly due to one time savings (unfilled authorized positions and operating and maintenance savings) and also due to deferred expenditures (CEQA activity an d multi-year capital proj ects) underway that will be completed in future years.
Personnel expenditures totaled $773k less than the adjusted budget, which was attributable to unfilled authorized positions. The largest operational savings of FY2022-23 were represented by savings in the Fire contract of $2.1 million, and overall savings of approximately $2 million in various professional services agreements.
The majority of the $52.3 million less, approximatel y $22 million is represented by multi-year capital projects that will be completed in future years, with expenses to be rea lized as project activity commences. Similarly, a pproximately $3.8 million is represented by CEQA environmental activity to continue into future fiscal years.
Anticipating spending for capital items that were budget ed but incomplete at year end will be rolled into the subsequent year’s budget, along with any operat ing budget carryovers. Budget carryovers, with the exception of encumbrances, will require council approval for addition to the next budget.

The capital and intangible asset activity is reconciled as follows:
Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.
Accrued interest for long-term liabilities. This is the change in accrued interest for the current period.
Compensated absences expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. This is the change in compensated absences for the current period.
Cost of assets capitalized:
Amortization of deferred charges
Principal repayments
OPEB related net adjustment
Deferred inflows and outflows of resources not due and payable, or owed and receivable, respectively, in the current period, are not reported in the funds:
Pension related net adjustment
Governmental funds report proceeds from issuance o f debt and lease/SBITA acquisitions as other financing sources or uses, and do not report the respective long term liabilities. For the Statement of Activities these amounts been reclassified to long term debt in the Statement of Net Position. This is the amount for the current year:

I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Description of the Reporting Entity
The City of Menifee, California (the City ), was incorporated on October 1, 2008, under the laws of the State of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges applicable to a General Law City. The City is governed by an elected five-member board. As required by generally accepted accounting principl es, these financial statements present the City (the primary government) and its compon ent units. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elect ed officials of the primary government are financially accountable. In addition, compone nt units can be other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with a primary government are such that exclusion would cause the report ing entity's financial statements to be incomplete. Under this definition, it is determined that there are no component units for this reporting entity, and these financial statements present the financial reporting entity that consisted solely of the City as the primary government.
b. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. Fo r the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these stat ements. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of co nsolidation. Governmental activities are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by pr ogram revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specif ic function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or app licants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are rest ricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide fi nancial statements.
The fiduciary funds are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are re cognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

Note 1: Summary of Significan t Accounting Policies (continued)
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (continued)
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose the government considers revenues to be availabl e if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. However, grant revenues are considered available within 6 months of the end of the curr ent fiscal year. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
The City’s fiduciary fund financial statements report a custodial fund. The custodial fund is reported using the economic resources me asurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fisc al period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
Governmental funds with assets and deferred outflows, liabilities and deferred inflows, revenues, or expenditures equal to at least 10% of their fund-type total, and at least 5% of the combined total of governmental funds and enterprise fund, as applicable, are required to be reported as a major fund. A governmental fund may also be presented as a major fund in the basic financial statements, event if it does not meet the size criteria just described, if the City’s officials believe that the fund is particularly important to the financial statement users (because of public interest, reporting consistency, or
otherwise). The General Fund is always reported as a major fund.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. All general tax receipts and fee revenue not allocated by law, Council policy, or contractual agreement to other funds are accounted for in the General Fund. General Fund expenditures include operations traditionally associated with activities, which are not required to be accounted for or paid by another fund.
The Development Impact Fees (DIF) Fund – This fund is used to account for 9 separate DIF Funds. Fees are charged to new development to pay for future infrastructure costs such as roads, fire facilities, parks and libraries.
The Grants Fund – This fund accounts for all of the various miscellaneous grants, in order to properly segregate and tra ck grant funding. Grants are budgeted upon being awarded by a third-party agency and approved by the City Council. Only grants that are approved at the time of the adoption of this budget are listed in this budget document.

Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
The custodial fund is used to account for third party contributions received by the City for which the City’s responsibility is essentiall y custodial. The 2019 Bonded CFD fund is used to account for contributions from property owners for payment on outstanding debt that the City is not directly liable for.
d. Assets, Liabilities a nd Net Position or Equity
Cash and Investments
The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. For financia l statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents are shown as both restricted and unrestricted cash and investments in the governmental funds.
Investments are reported at fair value. The City’s policy is generally to hold investments until maturity or until market values equal or exceed cost. The State Treasurer’s Investment Pool operates in accordance wi th appropriate state laws and regulations.
The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.
Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are represen tative 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 "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other f unds." Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offs et by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectable.
Capital Assets
Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 ($50,000 for infrastructure) and an estimated useful life in excess of two or more years. Assets are generally ca pitalized as a whole unit or system and not by the individual units that comprise t he system. For example, a phone system is capitalized as one entire system and not on the individual components such as the phones, phone server, installation costs, and wiring.
Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are re corded at acquisition value at the date of acquisition.

Note 1: Summary of Significan t Accounting Policies (continued)
d. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (continued)
Capital assets, which include property, plan t, equipment, infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items) and intangible assets, are reported in the governmental activities column in the gov ernment-wide financial statements. In accordance with generally ac cepted accounting principles, the City has reported all general infrastructure assets.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not c apitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Property, plant, equipment, infrastructure and intangible assets of the primary government, as well as its component uni ts, are depreciated/amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years $ Threshold
Equipment and furniture 2-10 5,000 $
Vehicles 2-10 5,000
Software 2-10 5,000
Infrastructure 20-50 50,000
Intangible Assets
Intangible Right to Use assets are related to equipment or real property that the City has obtained the right to utilize for a specifi ed period of time through the use of a lease agreement. The lift of the right to use asset is for the same period as the lease and amortized on a straight-line basis over that period.
Compensated Absences
Vacation pay is payable to employees at the time a vacation is taken or upon termination of employment. Normally, an employee cannot accrue more than his regular annual entitlement. Payment for vaca tion not taken is payable at the end of the cumulative time.
Sick leave is payable when an employee is una ble to work becaus e of illness. Upon termination an employee will not be paid for any unused sick leave, with the exception for the City Manager pursuant to employment contract.
All unpaid vacation and sick leave, if applicable, is recorded as a liability in the government-wide financial statements. Comp ensated absence liabilities are expected to be liquidated by the General Fund in future periods.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of re sources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, repr esents 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.

d. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (continued)
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of re sources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, repr esents 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 government has only one type of item, which arises only under a 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. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from taxes and intergovernmental revenues. These amounts are unavailable and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outla ys for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant procee ds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as rest ricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the government-wide and proprie tary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.
Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, government funds report the following fund balance classification:
Nonspendable include amounts that cannot be spen t because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted include amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grant ors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed include amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest authority, the City Council. The formal action that is requi red to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution.
Assigned include amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neit her restricted nor committed. The City Manager is authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose, which was established by the governing body in Resolution No. 2011-226 approved on June 21, 2011.
Unassigned include the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purpos es in the General Fund, and deficit fund balances in any other funds.

d. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (continued)
An Emergency Contingency commitment of fund balance has been established through Resolution 21-1076. This reserve is set at a minimum of 12.5% of General Fund operating expenditures The specified uses include the declaration of a state or federal emergency or a local emergency as defined in Section
1.10.010 of the Menifee Municipal Code. City Council may, by majority vote of the members, change the amount of this commitment and/or the specific uses through adoption of resolution.
An individual governmental fund could include nonspendable resources and amounts that are restricted or unrestric ted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) or any combination of those classifi cations. Restricted amounts are to be considered spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available and committed, assigned, then unassigned amounts are consider ed to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications can be used.
The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds it is not appropriate. However, if expenditures incurred for a specific purpose exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to t hose purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.
Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the government will fund outla ys for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the am ounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in t he governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about t he order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’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.
Property Taxes
Property tax revenue is recognized on the modifi ed accrual basis, that is, in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied providing they become available. Available means then due or past due and receivable within the current period and collected within the current period or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The County of Rive rside collects property taxes for the City. Tax liens attach annually as of 12:01 A.M. on the first day in January proceeding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. The tax levy covers the fiscal period July 1 to June 30. All secured personal property taxes and one-half of the taxes on real property are due November 1; the second installment is due February 1. All taxes are delinquent, if unpaid, on December 10 and April 10, respectively.

d. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (continued)
Unsecured personal property taxes become due on the first of March each year and are delinquent on August 31.
Functional Classifications
Expenditures of the governmental funds are classified by function. Functional classifications are defined as follows:
General Government includes legislative activities, City Clerk, City Attorney, City Manager as well as management or supportive services across more than one functional area.

Community Development includes those activities which involve planning, building and safety and code enforcement.
Parks and Recreation includes activities which provide recreation, cultural and educational services.
Engineering and Public Works includes all maintenance, engineering and capital improvements which relate to streets and other public facilities.
e. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
f. Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Plan and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of em ployee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The General Fund has been used to liquidate the liability in prior years.
Generally accepted accounting principles requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used.

Encumbrances are estimations of cost s related to unperformed contracts for goods and services. These commitments are recorded for budgetary control purposes in the General, Special Re venue and similar governmental funds.
Encumbrances represent the estimated amo unt of the expenditure ultimately to result if unperformed contracts in process at year-end are completed. They do not constitute expenditures or estimated liabilities.
Budget Basis of Accounting
Budgets for all governmental funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Note 3: Cash and Investments (continued)
The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use for all funds. Each fund type's position in the pool is reported on the combined balance sheet as cash and investments. The City has adopted an investment policy which authorizes it to invest in various investments. Interest income earne d on pooled cash and investments is allocated quarterly to the various funds based on average daily cash balances.
Deposits with financial institutions
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure a City’s deposits by pledging government securities with a value of 110% of a City’s deposits. California law also al lows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of a City’s total deposits. The City Treasurer may waive the collateral requirement for deposits which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. The collateral for deposits in federal and state-chartered banks is held in safekeeping by an authorized Agent of Depository recognized by the State of California Department of Banking. The colla teral for deposits with savings and loan associations is generally held in safekeeping by the Federal Home Loan Bank in San Francisco, California as an Agent of Deposito ry. These securities are physically held in an undivided pool for all California public agency depositors. Under Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a bank or savings and loan association with an "Agent of Depository" has the effect of perfecting t he security interest in the name of the local governmental agency. Accordingly, all collateral held by California Agents of Depository are considered to be held for, and in the name of, the local governmental agency.
Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
The above investments do not address investm ent of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee.
Investments of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy.

Investments in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Loc al Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. LAIF is overseen by the Local Agency Investment Advisory Board, which consists of five members, in accordan ce with State statute. The State Treasurer’s Office audits the fund annually. The fair value of the position in the investment pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.
Fair Value
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), establishes fair value standards for investments in participating interest earning inve stment contracts, external investment pools, equity securities, option contracts, stock warrants and stock rights that have readily determinable fair values. Accordingly, the City reports its investments at fair value in the balance sheet. All investment income, including ch anges in the fair value of investments, is recognized as revenue in the operating statement.

Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fu lfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The City’s investment policy does not limit investments in Federal Agency Securities and Tr easury Obligations to ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organi zations. The City’s investment policy does restrict investments in Corporate Medium-Term Notes (MTN’s) to those rated A or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating or ganization. Presented below are the City’s investments and the actual rating as of fiscal year end for each investment type:

Custodial Credit Risk
The 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 abl e to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in t he possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to reco ver the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an out side party. The City’s investment in LAIF is unrated.
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. Calif ornia law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
As of June 30, 2023, the City held deposits with financial institutions in excess of Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) lim its. These funds were held in collateralized accounts as required by the California Government Code as stated above.

Note 3: Cash and Investments (continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s investment policy imposes restrictions on percentages that the City can invest in certain types of investments and with any one issuer for certain types of investments.
Generally accepted accounting principles require s a separate disclosure if any single issuer comprises more than 5% of the total investment value. At June 30, 2023, the City’s had no single issuer of more than 5%. Investment s guaranteed by the U.S. government and investments in mutual funds and external investment pools are excluded from this requirement.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in mark et interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer t he maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City has elected to use the segmented time distribution method of disclosure for its interest rate risk.
As of June 30, 2023, the City had the following investments and remaining maturities:

Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles, establ ishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets t hat a government can access at the measurement date, Level 2 inputs that are observable for an asset or liabilit y, either directly or indirectly, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority and consist of unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
The valuation technique used for level 2 investments include "inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly".
Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar as sets or liabilities in markets that are not active; interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals; implied volatilities; credit spreads, and market-corroborated inputs.

Distribution Facilities Financing Agreement – Direct borrowing:
On July 6, 2018, the City entered into a fi nancing agreement to purchase Certain Southern California Edison Company Street Light Facilitie s. The agreement calls for the conveyance and sale of 6,310 LS-1 electric streetlights facilit ies. The term of the agreement is 15 years, expiring on 2034. Interest rate is set at 4.30% and debt payments are payable semiannually on December 1 and June 1.
The agreement was refinanced on September 10, 2021 for $6,335,581 with an interest rate of
2.99% with payments due in December and June of every year. The refinancing did not extend the life of the agreement and will therefore continue to expire in 2034.

General Information about the Pension Plan
Plan Description
All qualified permanent and probati onary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defin ed Benefit Pension Plan (Plan or PERF C) administered by the California Public Employee s’ 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 acco unting principles. Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the miscellaneous or safety risk pools. The City participates in three rate plans (two miscella neous and one 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.

The actuarially determined rate is the estima ted 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 requi red 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 ye ar ended June 30, 2023 were $3,383,586. The actual employer payments of $2,881,799 m ade to CalPERS by the City during the measurement period ended June 30, 2022 differed from the City’s proportionate share of the employer’s contributions of $1,049,284 by $1,832,515, which is being amortized over the expected average remaining service lifetime in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple Employer Plan.

Note 7: Pension Plan (continued)
Net Pension Liability (Asset)
The City’s net pension liability (asset) for the Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability (asset) of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2022, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021 rolled forward to June 30, 2022 using standard upd ate procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability (asset) is as follows.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability
The collective total pension liability for the June 30, 2022 measurement period was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021, with update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liability to June 30, 2022. The collective total pension liability was based on the following assumptions:
Valuation Date June 30, 2021
Measurement Date June 30, 2022
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal in accordance with the requirements of GASB 68
Asset Valuation Method Fair value
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary Increase 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 up to 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 priod from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and Post- retirement mortality rates include 15 years of projected morrtality improvement using 90% 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.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short- term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all of t he funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the sh ort-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benef its for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjus ted to account for assumed administrative expenses.

Change of Assumptions
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.
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 di scount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates an d that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily requ ired 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 wa s applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Subsequent Events
On July 12, 2021, CalPERS reported a preliminary 21.3% net return on investments for fiscal year 2020-21. Based on the thresholds specifi ed in CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation policy, the excess return of 14.3% prescribes a reduction in invest ment volatility that corresponds to a reduction in the discount rate used for fund ing purposes of 0.20%, from 7.00% to 6.80%.
Since CalPERS was in the final stages of t he four-year Asset Liability Management (ALM) cycle, the board elected to defer any changes to the asset allocation until the ALM process concluded, and the board could make its final decision on the asset allocation in November 2021.
On November 17, 2021, the board adopted a new strategic asset allocation. The new asset allocation along with the new capital market assumptions, economic assumptions and administrative expense assumption support a di scount rate of 6.90% (net of investment expense but without a reduction for administrati ve expense) for financial reporting purposes.
This includes a reduction in the price infl ation assumption from 2.50% to 2.30% as recommended in the November 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. This study also recommended modi fications to retirement rates, termination rates, mortality rates and rates of salary in creases that were adopted by the board. These new assumptions will be refl ected in the GASB 68 accountin g valuation reports for the June 30, 2022, measurement date.
Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Information about the pension plan’s assets, def erred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and fiduciary ne t position are presented in CalPERS’ audited financial statements, which are publicly availabl e 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 recogni zed when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the plan. Investments are reported at fair value.

Note 7: Pension Plan (continued)
Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
The expected average remaining service lifetime (E ARSL) 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, 2022 is 3.7 years, which was obtained by dividing the total se rvice years of 574,665 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 153,587 (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 servic e is based on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event other than receiving a cash refund.
As of the start of the measurement peri od (July 1, 2021), the City’s net pension liability/(asset) was $(2,133,291). For the me asurement period ending June 30, 2022 (the measurement date), the City incurred a pension expense) of $5,528,908.

Gains and losses related to c hanges in total OPEB liability an d fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time.
Amounts are first recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in futu re OPEB expense. The City determined that it was not reasonable to rerun prior valuatio ns under GASB 75. Therefore, the transition approach was used as provided in GASB 75, Para graph 244. This means that there are no deferred inflows/outflows in the first year of im plementation of GASB 75 with the exception of employer contributions after the measurement date.

Note 9: Risk Management
The City of Menifee (“City”) is exposed to vari ous risks of loss relat ed to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the Member Entity obtains insurance coverage.
Beginning July 1, 2021, The City is a member of the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA) (Authority), a joint power s authority, which provides joint protection programs for public entities covering automobile, general liability, errors and omission losses, workers’ compensation, and property claims. Un der the General Liability program, the City has a $150,000 retention limit similar to a deductibl e, with the Authority being responsible for losses above that amount up to $1 million. T he Authority has additional coverage of $39 million in excess of its $1 million retention limit through affiliated risk management authorities.
The Authority also provides $600 million aggregate property coverage to its members with such coverage provided by purchased insurance.
Liabilities of the member entity are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estima ted. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not re ported (IBNRs). The result of the process to estimate the claims liability is not an exact amount as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, and damage awards. Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to consider the effects of economic and social factors. The estimate of the claims liability also includes amount s for incremental claim adjustment expenses related to specific claims and other claim adjustment expenses regardless of whether allocated to specific claims. Estimated recove ries, for example, from salvage or subrogation, are another component of the claims liability estimate.

Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The City is involved as a defendant in various legal proceedings. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome in these cases, it is the opinion of the City that the outcome will have no material adverse effect on the financial position of the City.
Grants
The City has received State and Federal funds for specific purposes that are subject to audit by the grantor agencies. Although such audits could generate expenditure disallowances under the terms of the grants, it is believed that any required reimbursements will not be material.
Construction Commitments
No material construction commitments existed as of June 30, 2023.

Changes in Assumptions: 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% to 7.15%. In 2016, there were no changes in the discount rate. In 2015, amounts reported reflect an adjustment of the discount rate from 7.5% (net of administrative expense) to 7.65% (without a reduction for pension plan administrative expense). In 2014, amounts reported were based on the 7.5% discount rate.
Changes in Benefit Terms: 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.

In May 2012 the City issued Certificates of Participation in the amount of $20.0 million under the Total Road Improvement Program (TRIP) financing. These proceeds were used for th e construction of the Newport Road/I-215 interchange and will be paid back over a 30 year period. In 2020, the TRIP financing was refinanced in 2020 in a favorable low interest environment, resulting in ant icipated interest savings exceeding $4 million of the balance of the debt service schedule. In June 2019 , the City entered into a financing agreement for $6,550,000 with Banc of America to purchase and retr ofit Certain Southern California Edison Company Street Light Facilities. In 2021, the City refinanced the Streetlight Retrofit Project in 2020 in a favorable low interest environment, resulting in anticipated inte rest savings exceeding $400k of the balance of the debt service schedule. Currently, the City has onl y the TRIP debt and Streetlight Retrofit Project outstanding debt accounted for in this fund.

In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at 1.00% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value of property may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few exceptions , property is only re-assessed at the time it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is reassessed at the purchase price sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable City Council
City of Menifee
Menifee, California
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements
of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Menifee (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 21, 2023.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We noted certain matters that we have reported to management of City in a separate letter dated December 21, 2023.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable fo2023 r any other purpose.

December 21, 2023
To the Honorable City Council
City of Menifee, California
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Menifee (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and have issued our report thereon dated December 21, 2023. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter dated April 19, 2023, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express opinions about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.

Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you.
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team and others in our firm, as appropriate, and our firm have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
Significant Risks Identified
We have identified the possibility of the following significant risks:
Management's override of internal controls over financial reporting – Management override of internal controls is the intervention by management in handling financial information and making decisions contrary to internal control policy.
Revenue recognition – Revenue recognition is a generally accepted accounting principle that refers to the conditions under which an entity can recognize a transaction as revenue. Auditing standards indicate that recognizing revenue is a presumed fraud risk and usually classified as a significant risk in most audits.
These significant risks are presumptive in most audits and merit attention by the auditors due to the direct impact over financial reporting and internal control processes. Although identified as significant risks, we noted no matters of management override of controls or deviations from generally accepted accounting principles which caused us to modify our audit procedures or any related matters which are required to be communicated to those charged with governance due to these identified risks.
Qualitative Aspects of the City’s Significant Accounting Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the City is included in Note 1 to the financial statements. The City has adopted GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription Based IT Arrangements, during the fiscal year 2023. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.

Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s current judgment s. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events.
Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management’s current judgments.
The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements were:
Management’s estimate of fair market value of investments based on market values provided by outside sources. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the fair market value of investments in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management’s estimate of depreciation expense is based on the useful lives of acquired assets. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop depreciation expense in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management’s estimate of amortization of deferred inflows of resources related to leases is based on the remaining number of years of lease terms. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimated lease terms in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management’s estimate of claims payable is based on claims loss reports from third party claims management companies. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the claims payable estimate in determining that is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
The estimate of the net pension liability and the related deferred amounts is based on actuarial reports provided by independent actuaries. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the statements taken as a whole.
The estimate of the total OPEB liability and the related deferred amounts is based on actuarial reports provided by independent actuaries. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the statements taken as a whole.
Management’s estimate of lease liabilities, SBITA liabilities, right-to-use assets, and asset amortization is based on present value calculations using certain terms and assumptions in the lease and subscription agreements and estimated useful lives of assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the lease related estimates in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the City’s financial statements relate to:
The disclosure of fair value of investments in the basic financial statements represents amounts susceptible to market fluctuations.
The disclosure of capital assets, net, in the basic financial statements is based on historical information which could differ from actual useful lives of each capitalized item.
The disclosure of net pension liability and the related deferred amounts in the basic financial statements is based on actuarial assumptions. Actual future liabilities may vary from disclosed estimates.
The disclosure of net OPEB liability and the related deferred amounts in the basic financial statements is based on actuarial assumptions. Actual future liabilities may vary from disclosed estimates.
The disclosure of claims payable in the basic financial statements is based on claims loss reports from third party claims management companies. Actual future liabilities may vary from disclosed estimates.
The disclosure of leases liabilities, right-to-use assets, and asset amortization in the basic financial statements is based on certain terms and assumptions in the lease agreements which could differ from actual amounts.
The disclosure of subscription liabilities, right-to-use assets, and asset amortization in the basic financial statements is based on certain terms and assumptions in the subscription agreements which could differ from actual amounts.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards also require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. There are no known misstatements that were uncorrected by management that we believe are not trivial.

In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. There were no corrected misstatements that we deemed material brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the City’s financial statements or the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.
Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the attached letter dated December 21, 2023.
Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, significant events or transactions that occurred during the year, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement.
None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as City’s auditors.
Other Information Included in Annual Reports
Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information, whether financial or nonfinancial, included in the City’s annual report, does not extend beyond the information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information. However, in accordance with such standards, we have:
Read the transmittal letter and statistical section and considered whether such information, or the manner of its presentation, was materially inconsistent with its presentation in the financial statements.
Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a material misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Ordinance Introduction Adding Section 11.20.200 to Chapter
11.20 of Title 11 of the Menifee Municipal Code Relating to the Abatement of Hazardous Vegetation on Vacant Parcels MEETING DATE: January 17, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: David Gutierrez, Police Captain
REVIEWED BY: Chris Karrer, Police Chief
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Introduce an Ordinance adding Section 11.20.200 to Chapter 11.20 of Title 11 of the Menifee Municipal Code, establishing specific regulations for abatement of hazardous vegetation on vacant parcels.
DISCUSSION
As the City Council is aware, in some cases, property owners of vacant parcels within City limits are not adequately maintaining their properties. The conditions of such properties (1) threaten public safety; (2) are a life-threatening safety concern; and/or (3) violate state and/or local laws and regulations. Pursuant to state law, a city may enact, by ordinance, procedures to administratively abate such public nuisances and to recover costs incurred as a result.
While the City has an existing Administrative Nuisance Abatement Ordinance located in Chapter 11.20 of the Menifee Municipal Code, the Chapter does not specifically outline the abatement process or procedures for hazardous vegetation abatement on vacant parcels. In addition, the adopted Riverside County hazardous vegetation abatement, Ordinance 695, being used by staff specifically references and governs only “Unincorporated” areas.
This language was recently successfully challenged during a hazardous vegetation citation appeal.
Staff believes that if adopted, the proposed Ordinance will provide the City the necessary specific Menifee Municipal Code language to ensure those vacant parcel property owners that choose not to maintain their properties pursuant to the Menifee Municipal Code are held accountable.
