C. Piper Montague Infrastructure Payment Cost Sharing Agreement
In August 2009, the City entered in to a four-party agreement with thre e developers in the Piper/Montague Subdistrict in which the developers agreed to share in the costs of infrastructure improvements, including street improvements, storm drain installation and a traffic signal, and certai n storm water management facilities. Under the terms of the agr eement, when one of the developers undertakes a project related to the shared infrastructure improvements or storm water facilities project, that developer receives TASP fee credits equal to the other two developers pro-rata share of the improvements. The other two developers are then to reimburse the City for those TASP fee cr edits through the payment of the Piper Montague Infrastructure Fee Payment (PMIP), when building permits are issued, as a surcharge to the TASP fee. In the event the developers do not pay the PMIP fees within seven years of the completion date of the improvements, then the City may levy assessments or collect Mello-Roos special taxes from the applicable properties for the applicable share of the improvements. The cost of the shared infrastructure improvements and storm water facilities project is estimated to total $9.8 million. If a developer’s TASP fee credits resulting from the installation of the shared infrastructure exceed its aggregate TASP Fee obligations, the developer is not entitled to a cash payment from the City, but they may be entitled to a credit against other development fees.

NOTE 8 – CAPITAL ASSETS
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estim ated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available, except for intangible right to use lease assets, the measurement of which is discussed in Note 10 below. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated acquisition value on the date contributed. The City’s policy is to capitalize all assets with costs exceeding certain minimum thresholds and with useful lives exceeding two years.
The City has recorded all its public domain (infrastru cture) capital assets, whic h include landscape, storm, street, and traffic systems.
All capital assets with limited useful lives and the right to use leased a ssets are required to be depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The purpose of de preciation is to spread the cost of capital assets equitably among all users over the life of these a ssets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year represents that year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets. Depreciation of all capital assets is charged as an expense against operations each year and the total amount of depreciation taken over the years is reported on the statement of net position as a reduction in the book value of capital assets.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method which means the cost of th e asset is divided by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is fully depreciated.
The general capitalization threshold is $5,000. The City has assigned the useful lives below to capital assets:
Useful Lives
Years
Buildings and improvements 30
Other improvements 20
Machinery and equipment 10
Landscape system 50
Storm system 15-25
Street system 25
Traffic system 20
Water system 30-61
Sewer system 50
Capacity rights 32
Terrace Gardens, Inc. has assigned the following useful lives to its cap ital assets: Buildings, 50 years; Building improvements, 10-50 years; and Equipment, 5-7 years.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase is reflected in the capitalized value of the asset constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period.

NOTE 10 – LEASES
A. Policies
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to us e another entity’s nonfinancial asset (the underlying asset) as specified in the contract fo r a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.

NOTE 10 – LEASES (Continued)
Lessor
The City is a lessor for noncancell able leases of buildings and fac ilities. The City recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the government‐wide and fund financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferr ed inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determin es (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts as follows:
• The City uses bond interest rate as the discount rate for leases. • The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. • Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that wo uld require a remeasurement of its lease, and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.
Lessee
The City is a lessee for miscellaneous leases. If the lease is over the threshold, the City will recognize a lease liability and an intangible right‐to‐use lease asset (lease asset) in the government‐wide financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term . Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease pa yments made at or before the l ease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight‐line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate used to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments as follows:
• The City uses the interest rate charged by the less or as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, City generally uses bond interest rate as the discount rate for leases.
• The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease.
• Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that City is reasonably certain to exercise.

NOTE 12 – NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCES
Governmental fund balances represent the net current as sets of each fund. Net current assets generally represent a fund’s cash, receivables and deferred outflows of resources, less its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Portions of a fund’s balance may be restricted, committed or assigned for future expenditure.
Net Position is measured on the full accrual basis while Fund Balance is measured on the modified accrual basis, as explained in Note 1D.
A. Net Position
Net Position is the excess of all assets and deferred outflows of resources over all liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net Position is divided into three captions. These captions apply only to Net Position, which is determined only for proprietary funds and at the Government-wide level, and are described below:
Net Investment in Capital Assets and Capacity Rights, describes the portion of Net Position which is represented by the current net book value of the City’s capital assets and capacity rights, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets.

NOTE 12 – NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCES (Continued)
Restricted describes the portion of Net Position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter. These principa lly include developer fees received for use on capital projects and redevelopment funds restricted for community development activities.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted as to use.
B. Fund Balances
Governmental fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net current assets generally represent a fund’s cash, receivables and deferred outflows of res ources, less its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources.
The City fund balances are classified based on spen ding constraints imposed on the use of resources. For programs with multiple funding sources, the City pr ioritizes and expends funds in the following order:
Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Ea ch category in the following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint:
Nonspendable represents balances set aside to indicate items do not represent available, spendable resources even though they are a component of assets. Assets not e xpected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids, notes receivable, and property held for resale are included. However, if pr oceeds realized from the sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed or assi gned, then nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, or enabling legislation wh ich requires the resources to be used only for a specific purpose.
Encumbrances and nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable resources.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by resolution of the City Council which may be altered only by formal action of the City Council. Encumb rances and nonspendable amounts subject to council commitments are included along with spendable resources.
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council and may be changed at the discretion of the City Council. This category includes encumbrances; nonspendables, when it is the City’s intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific purpose; and residual fund balances, if any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds which have not been restricted or committed.
Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned.
This includes the residual General Fund balance and residual fund deficits , if any, of other governmental funds.

NOTE 12 – NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCES (Continued)
4) The City will maintain in the General Fund and the Water and Sewer Utility Enterprise Funds or in a Section 115 Trust a Public Employees Retirement (PERS) Rate Stabilization Reserve. The City actuary has determined that the General Fund portion of the Unfunded Actuarial Liability for the Miscellaneous Retirement Plan is 84.9%, and for the Water and Sewer Utility Enterprise Funds portion of the Unfunded Actuarial Liability for the Miscellaneous Retiremen t Plan is 8.5% and 6.6%, respectively. The contributions to the PERS Rate Stabilization Reserve from the Utility Funds shall be consistent with the General Fund contributions. If confirmed by City actuary that contributions are advised for that respective year, then any saving s resulting from the pension budgeting methodologies shall be contributed to the PERS Rate Stabilization Reserve. However, the General Fund portion of any pension savings shall only be allocated to the PERS Ra te Stabilization Reserve after the General Fund Contingency Reserve and the General Fund Budget Stabilization Reserve requirements have been met.
The Utility Funds portion of any pension savings shall only be allocated to the PERS Rate Stabilization Reserve after the Capital Reserve and Rate Stabilization Reserve (RSR) requirements in the Water and Sewer utility funds have been met. If confirmed by C ity actuary that contributions are advised for that respective year, then additionally, 20% of any General Fund or Enterprise Funds annual operating surpluses shall be allocated to the PERS Rate Stabilization Reserve.
5) The City will maintain a capital reserve for artificia l turf replacement with a target of $2 million and an annual set-aside amount of at least $230,000 until the target is reached. This reserve shall be used to accrue funding for the normal depreciation expense of the City’s artificial turf fields over their useful life. Eligible uses of this reserve may include the replacement of the City’s artificial turf fields to eliminate large spikes in capital expenses and normalize annual costs.
6) Annually, the City will endeavor to transfer $300,000 from the General Fund to the Technology Replacement Fund set aside in a reserve with a target of $5 million.

11) The City will maintain capital rese rves in the Water and Sewer utilit y enterprise funds to provide for future capital projects and unanticip ated emergencies, such as water main break repairs, pump station repairs. The City will attempt to maintain a capital reserve of approximately 30% of the annual operating and maintenance expenses for the Water utility fund and 25% of the annual operating and maintenance expenses for the Sewer utility fund. The City Counc il will set the reserve amounts annually after the results of the prior fiscal year’s Annual Compre hensive Financial Report (ACFR) are known. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the capital reserve for the Water Operating Fund is set at $8,638,318 and for the Sewer Operating Fund at $4,794,755.
12) The City will maintain a Rate Stabilization Reserv e (RSR) in the Water and Sewer utility enterprise funds with a goal of at least 16.67% or two months of the respective annual operating expenditures after the Capital Reserve requirements have been met. The RSR shall be used to mitigate the effects of occasional shortfalls in revenue or unanticipated expenditures that cannot be re-balanced within existing budgeted resources in any given fiscal year. Revenue shortfalls may result from a number of events such as weather factors (wet weather or drought events and natural disasters), increased water conservation, and poor regional economic conditions. The Rate St abilization Reserves should be used to assist in smoothing out revenue variability re sulting from these factors and ensu re that adequate resources are available during such times that mi ght otherwise require large rate in creases to utility customers. The City Council will set the reserve amounts annually af ter the results of the prior fiscal year’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) are known.

Thereafter, the replenishment of these reserves may also be incorporated into the annual Adopted Operating Budget if resources are available to replenish the reserves.
13) The City will maintain $2 million infrastructure replacement funds in both the Water and Sewer Utility Enterprise Funds. The goal is to accumulate at least $2 million a year from each utility fund to set aside for replacement of infrastructure as the infrastructure reaches the end of its useful life.
14) The City will maintain a capital reserve in the Equipment Management Internal Service Fund to enable the timely replacement of vehicles and depreciab le equipment as cost. The City will maintain a minimum fund balance of at least 30% of the repl acement costs for equipmen t accounted for in this fund.

NOTE 13 – PENSION PLANS (Continued)
Beginning in fiscal year 2016, CalPERS collects employer contributions for the Plan as a percentage of payroll for the normal cost portion as noted in the rates above and as a dollar amount for contributions toward the unfunded liability (UAL). The dollar amounts are billed on a monthly basis, or the City can elect a lump sum payment option. The City’s required contributions for the unfunded liability in the Miscellaneous and Safety Plans for the year ended June 30, 2025, were $7,893,441 and $12,643,155, respectively, which were made under the lump sum payment option.

Total 934 10 167 362 9 79
Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the Ca lifornia Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrue d liability. The City is re quired 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. If the City made additional UAL payments in FY21, FY22 or FY23, CalPERS may have issued letter s subsequent to the FY21 Actuarial Valuation to revise the required UAL payment amounts.
In May 2021, the City established a Section 115 irrevocable trust to set aside funds to meet the City’s future pension contributions or unfunded liabilities. The Trust is owned and moni tored by the City but externally managed by investment professionals. In June 2021, the City transferred $35.4 million to the Trust, and as of June 30, 2025, the City reported the account balanc e of the trust of $40,247,5 22. This amount has been reported as cash and investments in the Pension Section 115 Internal Service Fund.
B. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each Plan is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.

CITY OF MILPITAS
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
for the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 13 – PENSION PLANS (Continued)
Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilities as of the June 30, 2024 measurement date were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Miscellaneous and Safety (1)
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Payroll Growth 2.80%
Projected Salary Increase (2)
Investment Rate of Return 6.90% (3)
Mortality Derived using CalPERS Membership Data for all Funds (4) Post Retirement Benefit Increase The lesse r of contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing Power Protection Allowance floor on purchasing power applies, 2.30% thereafter
(1) Actuarial assumptions are the same for all benefit tiers (Classic Tier I, Classic Tier II, and PEPRA) (2) Varies by entry age and service
(3) Net of pension plan investment expenses, including inflation (4) The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS' specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. Mortality rates incorporate full generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the 2021 experience study report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.
The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 valuation was based on the results of a November 2021 actuarial experience study for the period 2001 to 2019. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website at www.calpers.ca.gov.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for each Plan was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate for each Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, each Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members for all plans in the PERF. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all pe riods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability for each Plan.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension pl an investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future re al rates of return (expected return s, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expect ed rate of return, CalPERS consid ered both short-term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 basis points.

E. Public Agency Retirement System
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA) mandates that public sector employees who are not members of their employer’s existing retirement system as of January 1, 1992 be covered by either Social Security or an alternative plan.
The City part-time, seasonal and temporary employ ees are covered under the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), a defined contribution plan, which requires these employees to contribute 6% and the City to contribute 1.5% of the employees pay plus administration costs.
The City required contributions of $28,018 and the employee’s required contributions of $18,458 were made during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
NOTE 14 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
A. Deferred Compensation Plan
City employees may defer a portio n of their compensation under a City sponsored Deferred Compensation Plan created in accordance with Inte rnal Revenue Code Section 457. Unde r this Plan, participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of their compensation until distributed to them; distributions may be made only at termination, retirement, death or in an emergency defined by the Plan.
The laws governing deferred compensation plan assets require plan assets to be held by a Trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. Since the assets held under these plans are not City property and not subject to City control, they are excluded from these financial statements.
B. Retiree Medical Benefits
The liability for explicit subsidy be nefits for the dependents of City retirees were previously included together with other City plan OPEB liabilities. However, the City was also contributing directly toward the cost of these dependent benefits by making negotiated contributions determined as a percentage of payroll for active employees in each bargaining group, effec tively contributing twice. Be ginning with fiscal year 2020, the total OPEB liability for th ese dependent fund benefits is no w being determined and reported separately. Further discussion is included in Note 13C and 13D.
The City provides postretirement health care benefi ts through its defined benefit Retiree Medical Benefits Agent Multiple-employers Plan to employees who retire in good standing from the City after attaining the age of 50 and to certain employees who retire due to disability. As of June 30, 2025, there were 347 participants receiving these health care benefits.
The City joined the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), an agent multiple-employer plan administered by CALPERS, consisting of an aggregation of single-employer plans. The CERBT issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained from the California Public Em ployees’ Retirement System, CERBT, P.O. Box 942703, Sacramento, CA 94229-2703.

NOTE 14 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions – The City net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2023 and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2024, that was rolled forward using standard update procedures to determine the total OPEB liability as of June 30, 2025, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Assumptions
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal Cost, level percent of pay Asset Valuation Method Fair Value
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.25%
Inflation 2.50%
Salary Increase 3.00%
Investment Rate of Return 6.25%
Mortality Rate MacLeod Watts Scale of 2022 applied generationally Healthcare Trend Rate 6.5 in 2025, fluctuates until ultimate rate of 3.9% in 2075
The underlying mortality assumptions were based on the Macleod Watts Scale 2022, which is a two- dimensional mortality improvement scale reflecting both age and year of mortality improvement. The underlying base scale is Scale MP-2021 which has two segments: (1) historical improvement rates for the period 1951-2017 and (2) an estimate of future mortality improvement for years 2018-2020 using the Scale MP-2021 methodology but utilizing the assumptions obtained from S cale MP-2015. The Macleod Watts scale then transitions from the 2020 improvement ra te to the Social Security Administration (SSA) Intermediate Scale linearly over th e 10-year period 2021- 2030. After this transitio n period, the Macleod Watts Scale uses the constant mortality improvement rate from the SSA Intermediate Scale from 2028-2042.
The SSA's Intermediate Scale has a final step down in 2045 which is reflected in the Macleod Watts scale for years 2045 and thereafter. Over the ages 95 to 117, the SSA improvement rate is graded to zero.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset cla ss. These ranges are combined to produce the long- term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The City’s accumulated assets are allocated using one of three diversified allocation strategies offered by CERB T. The target allocation for each major asset class using Strategy 2 is summarized in the following table:
Target
Asset Class Allocation
Global Equities 49.0%
Fixed Income 23.0%
Global Real Estate (REITs) 20.0%
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities 5.0%
Commodities 3.0%

Discount Rate
Explicit Subsidy Liability – The City expects the trust assets to yield 6.15 over the long term, based on information published by CalPERS as of the June 30, 2025 valuation date. Net contributions to the trust in recent years have been set at a level to prefund the e xplicit portion of benefits, with no advance funding of the implicit subsidy liability. Accordingly, the discount rate used for the City’s explicit OPEB liability is
6.15%.
Implicit Subsidy Liability – The City expects to continue to fund the implicit subsidy liability on a pay-as- you-go basis. Therefore, the Fi delity 20 year AA General Obligation Municipal Bond Index was used in determining the discount rates used to calculate the implicit subsidy liability. As of the end of the Measurement Period, the discount rates for the Fidelity index were 3.86%.

Plan Description – The City provides continuation of medical coverage to its retiring employees and their eligible dependents, through its defined benefit Reti ree Medical Benefits Agent Multiple-employers plan.
Pursuant to various bargaining agreements with different employee groups, the City contributes a percent of total payroll toward the cost of medical coverage for the eligible dependents of retirees. The City does not define the eligibility for or amount of any such benefits paid, nor is it legally obligated to make any payments to these dependents. The extent of the City’s obligation is to make the negotiated contributions to the funds.
However, the City has determined that a liability for the projected cost of these benefits must be reported in its financial statements in accordance with current accounting standards. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 75.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms – Membership in the plan consisted of the following at the measurement date of June 30, 2024:

NOTE 15 – RISK MANAGEMENT
A. Risk Pool
The City participates in the Pool ed Liability Assurance Network Join t Powers Authority (PLAN JPA), a joint powers authority established to provide liability insurance coverage, claims and risk management, and legal defense to its participating members. PLAN JP A provides $5,000,000 of self-funded general liability and auto coverage and $30,000,000 excess liability co verage per occurrence and is responsible for paying claims in excess of the City’s $100,000 deductible . PLAN JPA also provides $2,000,000 employee theft coverage in excess of the City’s $10,000 deductible, and $2,000,000 of government crime coverage (with various sub-limits depending on the type of crime) in excess of the City’s $10,000 deductible. PLAN JPA provides coverage for property dama ge up to $1 billion. The City reta ins a self-insured amount of $5,000 for each property and $5,000 for each vehicle per occurrence.
PLAN JPA is governed by a Board of Directors consis ting of representatives from member municipalities.
The Board controls the operations of PLAN JPA, consis ting of funding polices an d approval of operating budgets, independent of any influence by member municipalities beyond their representation on the Board.
The City’s annual contributions to PLAN JPA are calculated based on the ratio of the City’s payroll to the total payrolls of all entities participating in the program and the City’s loss experience. Actual surpluses or losses are shared according to a formula developed from overall costs an d spread to member entities on a percentage basis.

B.
Federal and State Grant Programs
The City participates in several Federal and State grant programs. These programs are subject to audit by the City’s independent accountants in accordance with the provisions of the federal Single Audit Act as amended and applicable State requirements. No cost disallowances have been proposed as a result of audits completed to date; however, these programs are still subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued)
C. Encumbrances
The City uses an encumbrance system as an extension of normal budgetary accounting for governmental funds.
Under this system, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the e xpenditure of monies are recorded to reserve that portion of applicable appropriations. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are recorded as assigned fund balance, since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Outstanding encumbrances at year-end are automatically reappropriated for the following year. Unencumbered and unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end.
Encumbrances outstanding by fund as of June 30, 2025 were as follows:
Major Governmental Funds:
General Fund $1,820,411
Housing Authority Fund 100,500
Non-Major Governmental Funds 323,269
Total Encumbrances $2,244,180
D. South Bay Water Recycling System Facility Replacement
As required by the Water Pollution Control Plant’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, the regional partner agencies are responsible for maintenance and operation of the South Bay Water Recycling System. The regional partner agencies, which includes the City of Milpitas, are also responsible for the planned $2 billion rehabilitation/replacement of the facility over the next thirty years. The City’s share of the project is approximately 6.196% as discussed in Note 8E.
E. Bay Area Water Supply and Conserva tion Agency Revenue Bonds Surcharge
The City contracts with the City and County of San Fr ancisco for the purchase of water from the Hetch Hetchy System operated by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). The City is also a member of the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) which represents the interests of all the 24 cities and water districts, as well as two private utilities, that purchase wholesale water from the SFPUC.
In 2009 the City entered into a new 25-year agreement with the SFPUC that includes a minimum water delivery level of 5.341MGD. One of the ways that the new agreement differs from the old is in how facilities constructed by the SFPUC that benefit the regional customers are treated from a rate and financial perspective.
Under the old agreement, facilities we re built, capitalized, and added to the rate base with a rate of return (interest), and then paid for over their useful lives through wholesale rates. Under the new agreement, the SFPUC issues revenue bonds and the de bt service (which also includes an interest component) is paid for through rates over the life of the bonds.
During the transition from the old to the new contracts, one of the issues addressed was the $370 million in assets still being paid for by the wholesale customers under the old agreement. The assets were transferred to the new agreement, assigned a life with an agreed upon rate of return of 5.13%. Also negotiated was a provision to allow the wholesale customers to prepay any remaining existing assets’ unpaid principal balance without penalty or premium. This prepayment was executed through the issuance of bonds by BAWSCA which provided a better interest rate given the favorable rate environment.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued)
BAWSCA issued Revenue Bonds in the principa l amount of $335,780,000 in January 2013 to prepay the capital cost recovery payment obligation and fund a stabilization fund. The Bonds mature in October 2034 and are secured by surcharges to the monthly water purchase charges imposed upon the participating members.
The Bonds are not a debt obligation of any member, and BAWSCA’s failure to pay its Bonds would not constitute a default by any participating member.
Should any participating member fail to pay its share, BAWSCA will rely on the stabilization fund and will pursue all legal remedies to collect the shortfall from the delinquent member. In the interim, other participating members may have their portion adjusted to insure the continued payment of the debt service surcharge.
The risk of bearing the debt service expense of a defaul ting member is not significantly different than the risk each member assumes currently for fluctuations in water purchase ch arges. Under the Bond indenture, BAWSCA maintains a stabilization fund. If surcharge re venues collected are less than needed (due to a member’s failure to pay timely), BAWSCA uses the stabilization fund to fund the debt service deficiency and increases the surcharge in the subse quent year to make up for the prio r year shortfall and reimburse the stabilization fund account. Also, given that each participating agency’s governing body adopted a Resolution to participate in the Bond issue, Management believes that default is generally very unlikely.
The annual debt service surcharges are a fixed amount for each partic ipant and calculated by taking the subsequent fiscal year’s debt service, multiplied by each participant’s actual water purchase as a percent of total wholesale customer water purchases from the prior fiscal year. One-twelfth of the annual surcharge is included in the monthly bill from SFPUC. Because each participant’s share of the debt service surcharge is proportional to the amount of water purchased during the prior fiscal year, the City’s share of the debt service will fluctuate from year to year.
The City paid its surcharge of $791,844 during fiscal year 2025, which is included as a component of purchased water expenses in the Water Enterprise Fund. The surcharge for fiscal year 2026 is estimated to be $1,077,492.
F. Housing Successor Excess Surplus
Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 34176.1(d) defines an excess surplus as an unencumbered balance held by the housing successor that exceeds the greater of $1,000,000 or the ag gregate amount deposited into the housing successor fund during the housing successor’s preceding four fiscal years, whichever is greater. If a housing successor has an excess surplus, the HSC Section requires that the housing successor encumber the excess surplus for eligible purposes described in the HSC Section 34176.1(a)(3) or transfer the funds to another local housing successor within three fiscal years. If the housing successor fails to comply with this provision, the housing successor, within 90 days of the end of the th ird fiscal year, is required to transfer any excess surplus to the Department of Housing and Communi ty Development for expenditure pursuant to the Multifamily Housing Program or the Joe Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program.

NOTE 17 – SUCCESSOR AGENCY ACTIVITIES
A. Redevelopment Dissolution
In an effort to balance its budget , the State of California adopted AB x1 26 on June 28, 2011, amended by AB1484 on June 27, 2012, which suspended all new re development activities except for limited specified activities as of that date and dissolved redevelopment agencies on January 31, 2012.
The suspension provisions prohibited all redevelopment agencies from a wide range of activities, including incurring new indebtedness or obligations, entering into or modifying agreements or contracts, acquiring or disposing of real property, taking actions to adopt or amend redevelopment plans and other similar actions, except actions required by law or to carry out existing enforceable obligations, as defined in ABx1 26.
Effective January 31, 2012, the Redevelopment Agency was dissolved. Certain assets of the Redevelopment Agency Housing Reserve Fund were distributed to a Housing Successor; and all remaining Redevelopment Agency assets and liabilities were distributed to a Successor Agency. The Successor Agency received a finding of completion on June 27, 2014.
Under the provisions of AB 1484, the City can elect to become the Housing Successor and retain the housing assets. The City’s Housing Authority elected to become the Housing Successor and on February 1, 2012 and certain housing assets were transferred to the City’s Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund.
The City also elected to become the Successor Ag ency and on February 1, 2012 the Redevelopment Agency’s remaining assets were distributed to and liabilities were assumed by the Successor Agency. ABx1 26 requires the establishment of an Oversight Boar d to oversee the activities of the Successor Agency and one was established on March 26, 2012. The activities of the Successor Agency were subject to review and approval of the Oversight Board, which was comprised of seven members, including one member of City Council and one former Redevelopment Agency employee appointed by the Mayor.
On July 1, 2018, the duties of th e Milpitas Oversight Board transferre d to a new Santa Clara Countywide Consolidated Oversight Board, wh ich is now responsible for overseei ng the winddown affairs of all Successor Agencies in Santa Clara County, including the Successor Agency to the Milpitas Redevelopment Agency.
The activities of the Housing Successor are reported in the Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund as the City has control of those assets, which may be used in accordance with the low and moderate income housing provisions of California Redevelopment Law.
The activities of the Successor Agency are reported in the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund as the activities are under the control of the County Oversight Board. The City provides administrative services to the Successor Agency to wind down the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency.
Cash and investments of the Successor Agency as of June 30, 2024 are discussed in Note 3. Information presented in the following footnotes represents other a ssets and liabilities of the Successor Agency as of June 30, 2025.

The Agency’s intent in purchasing this land was to simultaneously re-sell it for development.
In addition, starting in 2025 the Agency is required to pay the County the greater of $2,000,000 or 50% of the sales tax revenue arising out of sales originating on certain properties that are in the Midtown Area, but not to exceed $5,000,000 annually, until the earlier of either June 30, 2038, the date that tax increment revenue allocated to the Agency has reached its limit or the termination of the Redevelopment Plan.

(a) The State Constitution requires property to be assessed at one hundred percent of the most recent purchase price, plus an increment of no more than two percent annually, plus any local over-rides. These values are considered to be full market values. (b)
California cities do not set their own direct tax rate. The state constitution establishes the rate at 1% and allocates a portion of that amount, by an annual calculation, to all the taxing entities within a tax rate area. (c)
Corrections were made for Fiscal Years 2013-14 through 2018-19 to correct the amounts for Other and Tax-Exempt Property. Total assessed value was unchanged.

OTHER AUDIT REPORT
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S 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
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Milpitas, California
We have audited, in accordance with the 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 basic financial statements of the City of Milpitas, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and have issued our report thereon dated November 17, 2025. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financ ial statements of Terrace Gardens, Inc. , as described in our report on the City’s financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other auditors’ testing of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we consider ed the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for desi gning the audit procedures th at 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 the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected an d corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is le ss 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 deficien cies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, du ring our audit we did not identify any de ficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weakness or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.
195
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assu rance 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 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 resu lts of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We have also issued a separate Memo randum on Internal Control dated Nove mber 17, 2025 which is an integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report.
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 result of that testing, and not to pr ovide 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 City’s intern al control and compliance. Accord ingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
To the City Council of
the City of Milpitas, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the
City of Milpitas for the year ended June 30, 2025,
and have issued our report thereon dated November 12, 2025. Our opinions on the basic financial statements and this report, as far as they relate to Terrace Gardens, Inc, are ba sed solely on the report of other auditors. In planning and perf orming our audit of the basic fina ncial statements of the City of Milpitas as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, in accordance with auditin g standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designi ng audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our op inions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on th e effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 po ssibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control was for the lim ited purpose described in the first paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses. In addition, because of inherent limitations in internal control, including the poss ibility of management override of controls, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected by such controls. 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 may exist that have not been identified.
Included in the Schedule of Other Matters are recommendations not meeting the above definitions that we believe are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency.
Government Auditing Standards require the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s response to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying Schedule of Other Matters. The City’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures appl ied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
This communication is intended solely for the information and use of management , City Council, others within the organization, and agencies and pass-through entities requiring compliance with Government Auditing Standards, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
SCHEDULE OF OTHER MATTERS
2025-01 Timeliness Submission of the Quarterly Treasurer Report Criteria:
Investment account reconciliation is an importa nt element of the Department’s internal control structure. Effective internal controls require reconciliations to be completed as soon as reasonably possible after each month-end, typically within thirty days of receiving the statements, and reviewed for accuracy. Errors and unreconciled differences should be researched and corrected immediately to prevent additional errors and a decrease in efficiency.
Condition: We noted that the Quarterly Treasurer repo rt for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was not submitted to Council review as of March 12, 20 25, which is not within 45 days after the quarter ended.
Cause: According to the Finance Manager, the dela y is due to the City’s implementation of the new financial system and reporting structure.
Potential Effect: The late submission of the Quarterly Tr easurer Reports to the City Council may subject the reporting to a higher risk of undetected errors or misstatements.
Recommendation: We recommend that the City submit th e Quarterly Treasurer Reports to City Council no later than 45 days to avoid any undetected errors Management Responses:
The Finance Department consistently reconciles quart erly investment reports received from its external investment advisors in a timely manner and did so for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. However, previous quarterly investment reports submitted to th
e City Council did not include the City's Section 115
Pension Trust investment report provided by external investment advisor PFM Asset Management LLC (PFM).
The inclusion of the Section 115 Pe nsion Trust investment report requires analytical review and integration as part of a comprehensive quarterly investment report package. The timely provision of this analysis by PFM to support conso lidated reporting to the City Coun cil represented a new reporting requirement that required coordination with the external advisor. The Finance Department elected to delay submission until the complete quarterly inve stment report package, including the Section 115 component, could be presented to the City Council at its subsequent Finance Subcommittee meeting on March 12, 2025.
The required reporting cadence and submission timeline have been clearly communicated to both external investment advisors, and the necessary external reports are now being provided with sufficient lead time to ensure timely submission to the City Council within the 45-day timeframe. 3
MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
SCHEDULE OF OTHER MATTERS
2025-02: Host Compliance Syst em Inaccurate Permit Fees Criteria:
The City should ensure that all fees are accurately calculated in accordance with the approved Fee Schedule for the current fiscal year.
Condition: During our cash receipt testing, we noted a receipt for Host compliance included a base permit fee using an old rate of $520, instead of the new FY25 base fee of $533.
We retrieved the general ledger details for the entire fiscal year of 2025 for Account number 100-3178, which records host compliance receipts. We noted that the total revenue collected from Host compliance during fiscal year 2025 was $19,421.01.
Cause: The City contracted a third-party vendor to process the short-term rental permit. Due to staff turnover, the user and regulatory fee adopted in Fiscal year 24-25 was not communicated to the third-party vendor. This reason has caused the City to collect the wrong fee.
Potential Effect: The City could have undercharged the base permit fee for the Host compliance.
Recommendation:
We recommend that the City:
A. Coordinate with relevant City Staff and/or Host Compliance System Team to identify the cause of the wrong rate/calculation to ensure the correct charges are input and properly reviewed.
B. Ensure all Master Fee schedules effective for the current fiscal year have been updated in the financial system and properly reviewed and approved.
Management Responses:
This receipt that was listed above is related to a shor t-term rental permit fee. As of June 30, 2025, the City has discontinued using the third party to proce ss short-term rental permits. The short-term rental permit process has been brought in-house. The City also ensured the short-term rental permit fee listed in the existing building permit system
complies with the user and regulator y fee adopted for the Fiscal year 2025.

MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
SCHEDULE OF OTHER MATTERS
NEW GASB PRONOUNCEMENTS OR PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET EFFECTIVE The following comment represents new pronouncements taking affect in the next few years. We cite them here to keep you informed of developments:
EFFECTIVE FISCAL YEAR 2026:
GASB 103 – Financial Reporting Model Improvements
The objective of this Statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability. This Statement also addresses certain application issues.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
- This Statement continues th e requirement that the basic financial statements be preceded by management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), which is presented as required supplementary information (RSI). MD&A pr ovides an objective and ea sily readable analysis of the government’s financial activities based on curr ently known facts, decisi ons, or conditions and presents comparisons between the current year and the prior year. This Stat ement requires that the information presented in MD&A be limited to the rela ted topics discussed in five sections: (1) Overview of the Financial Statements, (2) Financial Summary, (3) Detailed Analyses, (4) Significant Capital Asset and Long-Term Financing Activity, and (5) Curren tly Known Facts, Decisions, or Conditions.
Furthermore, this Statement stresses that the detailed analyses should explain why balances and results of operations changed rather than simply presenting th e amounts or percentages by which they changed.
This Statement emphasizes that the analysis provided in MD&A should avoid unnecessary duplication by not repeating explanations that may be relevant to multiple sections and that “boilerplate” discussions should be avoided by presenting only the most relevant information, focused on the primary government.
In addition, this Statement continues the requiremen t that information included in MD&A distinguish between that of the primary government and its discretely presented component units.
Unusual or Infrequent Items - This Statement describes unusual or infrequent items as transactions and other events that are either unusual in nature or in frequent in occurrence. Furthermore, governments are required to display the inflows and outflows related to each unusual or infrequent item separately as the last presented flow(s) of resources prior to the net change in reso urce flows in the government-wide, governmental fund, and proprietary fund statements of resource flows. 5
MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
SCHEDULE OF OTHER MATTERS
GASB 103 – Financial Reporting Model Improvements (Continued) Presentation of the Proprietary Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position - This Statement requires that the proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position continue to distinguish between operating and nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Operating revenues and expenses are defined as revenu
es and expenses other than nonoperating revenues
and expenses. Nonoperating revenues and expenses are defined as (1 ) subsidies received and provided, (2) contributions to permanent and te rm endowments, (3) revenues and e xpenses related to financing, (4) resources from the disposal of capital assets and inventory, and (5) investment income and expenses.
In addition to the subtotals currently required in a proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position, this
Statement requires that a subtotal for operating income (loss) and noncapital subsidies be presented before reporting other nonoperating revenues and expenses. Subsidies are defined as (1) resources received from another part y or fund (a) for which the proprietary fund does not provide goods and services to th e other party or fund and (b) that directly or indirectly keep the proprietary fund’s current or future fees and charges lower than they would be otherwise, (2) resources provided to another party or fund (a) for which th e other party or fund does not provide goods and services to the proprietary fund and (b) that are r ecoverable through the proprietary fund’s current or future pricing policies, and (3) all other transfers.
Major Component Unit Information - This Statement requires go vernments to present each major component unit separately in the reporting entity’s statement of net position and statement of activities if it does not reduce the readability of the statements. If the readabi lity of those statements would be reduced, combining statements of major component units should be presented after the fund financial statements.
Budgetary Comparison Information - This Statement requires go vernments to present budgetary comparison information using a single method of communication—RSI. Governments also are required to present (1) variances between original and final budget amounts and (2) variances between final budget and actual amounts. An explanation of significant variances is required to be presented in notes to RSI.
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting The requirements for MD&A will improve the quality of the analysis of changes from the prior year, which will enhance the relevance of that informatio n. They also will provide clarity regarding what information should be presented in MD&A.
The requirements for the separate presentation of unusual or infrequent items will provide clarity regarding which items should be reported separately from other inflows and outflows of resources.
The definitions of operating revenues and expenses and of nonoperating revenues and expenses will replace accounting policies that vary from government to government, thereby improving comparability.
The addition of a subtotal for operating income (loss) and noncapital subsidies will improve the relevance of information provided in the proprietary fund statem ent of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position.
The requirement for presentation of major component unit information will improve comparability. 6
MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
SCHEDULE OF OTHER MATTERS
GASB 103 – Financial Reporting Model Improvements (Continued) The requirement that budgetary comparison information be presented as RSI will improve comparability, and the inclusion of the specified variances and the explanations of significant variances will provide more useful information for making decisions and assessing accountability.
Effective Date: The requirements of this Statement are effec tive for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025, and all reporting periods thereafter. Earlier a pplication is encouraged. If a primary government chooses early implementation of this Statement, all component units also should implement this Statement in the same year, subject to the provisions of paragraph 59 of Statement 14.
GASB 104 – Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets
State and local governments are required to provide deta iled information about capital assets in notes to
financial statements. GA SB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments, requires certain information regarding capital assets to be presented by major class. The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about certain types of capital assets.
This Statement requires certain types of capital assets to be disclosed separately in the capital assets note disclosures required by Statement 34. Lease assets recognized in accordance with GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, and intangible right-to-use assets recogniz ed in accordance with GASB Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements, should be disclosed separately by major class of underlying asset in the capital assets note disclosures. Subscription assets recognized in accordance with GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements , also should be separately disclosed. In addition, this Statement requires intangible assets other than those three types to be disclosed separately by major class.
This Statement also requires additional disclosures fo r capital assets held for sale. A capital asset is a capital asset held for sale if (a) the government has decided to pursue the sale of the capital asset and (b) it is probable that the sale will be finalized within one year of the financial statement date. Governments should consider relevant factors to evaluate the li kelihood of the capital asset being sold within the established time frame. This Statement requires that capital assets held for sale be evaluated each reporting period. Governments should disc lose (1) the ending balance of ca pital assets held for sale, with separate disclosure for historical cost and accumulat ed depreciation by major class of asset, and (2) the carrying amount of debt for which the capital assets held for sale are pl edged as collateral for each major class of asset.
How the Changes in This Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting The requirements of this Statement will improve fi nancial reporting by providing users of financial statements with essential information about certain types of capital assets in order to make informed decisions and assess accountability. Additionally, the disclosure requ irements will improve consistency and comparability between governments.
Effective Date: The requirements of this Statement are effec tive for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025, and all reporting periods thereafter.

STATUS OF PRIOR YEAR OTHER MATTERS
2024-01 Timeliness of Journal Entries
Criteria:
For the general ledger to be accurate and e ffective, journal entries should be prepared, reviewed, and posted timely, ideally within 30 days of the journal entries' transaction date.
Condition:
a. During our testing of journal en tries, we noted that one entry was prepared and reviewed more than one year after the date the activity occurred.
b. We also noted six journal entries were reviewed more than 30 days past the prepared date.
Cause:
According to the Finance Manager, the delays are due to the City ta king time to research and communicate with other departments and the customer.
Potential Effect: When journal entries are not posted time ly, there is an increased risk that transactions are not posted in the correct period and that accounting errors, misstatements, or unauthorized transactions may not be identified or corrected in a timely manner.
Recommendation: We recommend Finance prioritize j ournal entry processing and establish procedures to ensure monthly journal entries are prepared, reviewed, and posted timely.
Current Year Status: During our journal entry testing in the fiscal year 2025, we still noted that five out of forty journal entries tested were reviewed more than 45 days after the effective date.
Management Responses to Current Year Status:
We acknowledge the finding and will continue to im prove our timeliness on journal entry approval to
meet the approval timeline which is 45 days within th e effective date. In additio n to the reasons listed in the Cause section, the delay is also due to the Ci ty not having a comprehens ive monthly checklist to capture all journal entries from various functional group th at are posted across all general ledger periods.
The checklist must be revisited to ensure completeness.
In addition, on July 1, 2025, the City launched a new Enterprise Re source Planning (ERP) system. The new ERP has workflow capability to improve the effici ency of the approval process. The system notifies the approvers when a journal entry is ready for approval to help ensure timely posting of entries. 9

To the City Council of
the City of Milpitas, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of Milpitas (City) fo r the year ended June 30, 2025. We did not audit the financial statements of Terrace Gardens, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which represent 0.98%, 1.43%, and 2.12% of the assets, net position and revenues, respectively, of the primary government. These co mponent unit financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose report thereon ha s been furnished to us, and our opin ion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for this entity, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
Professional standards require that we provide yo u with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as
well as certain information related to the planned scop e and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter da ted April 15, 2025. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Accounting Policies - Management is responsible for the sel ection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are desc ribed in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopt ed, and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year, except the followings:
GASB 101 – Compensated Absences
The objective of this Statement is to better me et the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measur
ement guidance for compensated absences. That
objective is achieved by aligning the recogniti on and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures.
This Statement requires that liabilities for compen sated absences be recogni zed for (1) leave that has not been used and (2) leave that has been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means. A liability should be recognized for leave that has not been used if (a) the leave is attributable to services already rendered, (b) th e leave accumulates, and (c) the leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means.
Leave is attributable to services already rende red when an employee has performed the services required to earn the leave. Leave that accumula tes is carried forward from the reporting period in which it is earned to a future reporting period during which it may be used for time off or otherwise paid or settled. In estimating the leave that is more li kely than not to be used or otherwise paid or settled, a government should co nsider relevant factors such as employment policies related to compensated absences and hist orical information about the use or payment of compensated absences. However, leave that is more likely than not to be settled through conversion to defined benefit postemployment bene fits should not be incl uded in a liability for compensated absences.
1
This Statement requires that a liability for certain types of compensated absences—including parental leave, military leave, and jury duty leave—not be recognized un til the leave commences.
This Statement also requires that a liability for specific types of compensated absences not be recognized until the leave is used.
This Statement also establishes guidance for measuring a liability for leave that has not been used, generally using an employee’s pay rate as of the date of the financial statements. A liability for leave that has been used but not yet paid or settled should be measured at the amount of the cash payment or noncash settlement to be made. Cert ain salary-related payments that are directly and incrementally associated with payments for leave also should be included in the measurement of the liabilities.
GASB 102 – Certain Risk Disclosures
GASB 102 requires governments to disclose information about certain risks related to resource concentrations (e.g., reliance on a few large employers) and constraints (e.g., legal limits on taxes) that could substantially impact their ability to provide services or meet obligations.
These disclosures are effective for fiscal year s beginning after June 15, 2024. The standard requires that a triggering event (or events) that could cause a substantial impact have occurred, are beginning to occur, or are more likely than not to occur within 12 months of the financial statement issuance date to necessitate disclosure.
Both pronouncements became effective, but did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
Unusual Transactions, Controversial or Emerging Areas - We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which ther e is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting Estimates - Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and beca use of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Estimated Fair Value of Investments: As of June 30, 2025, the City held approximately $450.8 million of cash and investments as measured by fa ir value as disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements. Fair value is essentially market pricing in effect as of June 30, 2025. These fair values are not required to be adjusted for changes in ge neral market conditions oc curring subsequent to June 30, 2025.
Estimate of Depreciation: Management’s estimate of the depreci ation is based on useful lives determined by management. These lives have been determined by management based on the expected useful life of assets as disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the depreciation estima te in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimate of Compensated Absences: Accrued compensated absences which are comprised of accrued vacation and sick leave is estimated us ing accumulated unpaid leave hours and hourly pay rates in effect at the end of the fiscal year as disclosed in Note 14F to the financial statements.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accrued compensated absences in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
2
Estimated Claims Liabilities: Management’s estimate of the claims liabilities payable is disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statements and is based on estimates determined by the City’s risk pool and third party claims administra tor, which are based on the claims experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors and assump tions used to develop the estima te in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Net Pension Liabilities and Pensi on-Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources: Management’s estimate of the net pension liabilities and deferred outflows/inflows of resources are disclosed in Note 13 to the fina ncial statements and are based on accounting valuations determined by the California Public Employees Retirement System, which are based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the ke y factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Net OPEB Liability and Pension-Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources:
Management’s estimate of the net OPEB liability, and deferred outflows/inflows, are disclosed in Note 14 to the financial statements and is base d on actuarial study determined by a consultant, which is based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Disclosures - The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such miss tatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely uncorrected misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We have no such misstatements to report to the City Council.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with ma nagement is a financial acc ounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from ma nagement that are incl uded in a management representation letter dated November 17, 2025.
