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 City Council
City of Montclair
Montclair, 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 financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Montclair (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 March 7, 2024.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designin audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion 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 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 and therefore, material weaknesses may exist that were not identified. 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 have not been identified.
1 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.
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 City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

2 Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance for Each Major Program and on Internal Control Over Compliance Required by Uniform Guidance City Council
City of Montclair
Montclair, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Montclair’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2023. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the City of Montclair, complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City of Montclair and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with 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 opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the requirements referred to above.
3 Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about City’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Obtain an understanding of City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal 4 program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, of the City of Montclair, 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. We issued our report thereon dated March 7, 2024, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The accompanying schedule presents only the expenditures incurred (and related awards received) by the City of Montclair that are reimbursable under programs of federal agencies providing financial assistance. For the purpose of this schedule, financial assistance includes both federal financial assistance received directly from a federal agency, as well as federal funds received from pass-through entities by the City of Montclair.

Report on the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Montclair (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 financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Montclair, as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
1 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing information.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. 2 Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining statements, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining statements, as listed in the table of contents, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated March 7, 2024, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2023
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) Description of Entity
The reporting entity is a municipal corporation governed by an elected mayor and a four-member council. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the City of Montclair (the City), and its component units, entities for which the City is considered financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance, part of the government's operation, so data from these units are combined herein. The following criteria were used in the determination of blended units:
The members of the City Council also act as the governing body of the Montclair Housing Corporation, the Montclair Housing Authority, the Montclair Public Financing Authority (PFA), and the Montclair Community Foundation (Foundation). The City, Housing Corporation, Housing Authority, PFA, and Foundation are financially interdependent. The Housing Corporation, Housing Authority, PFA, and Foundation are managed by employees of the City. A portion of the City's salary and overhead expenses are billed to the Housing Authority each year. The City of Montclair was incorporated April 25, 1956, under the general laws of the State of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges pertaining to "General Law" cities.
Blended Component Units
The Montclair Housing Corporation was established in September 1993. The Corporation presently manages 98 residential units which are occupied by over 300 people. Those properties are covered by 55 year deed restrictions for affordability and approximately 80 percent of those deed restrictions are for very low income families.
The Montclair Housing Authority (the Authority) was established on July 18, 2011 to minimize the amount of unsanitary and unsafe inhabited dwelling accommodations and to provide decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable dwelling accommodations to persons of low income. On January 12, 2012, the Authority elected to serve as the Successor Housing Agency of the City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency (former redevelopment agency) and in accordance with that role it has received transferred Low and Moderate Housing assets of the former redevelopment agency as part of the dissolution process.
The Montclair Public Financing Authority was established through a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2014, by and between the City and the Montclair Housing Authority. The Authority is qualified to assist in the financing of certain public improvements and to issue Bonds under the Bond Law.
The Montclair Community Foundation, a separate 501(c)(3) organization, was established to provide various community services, and is funded by contributions from the community.
Separate financial statements are not prepared for the Corporation, the Authority, the PFA, or Foundation.
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. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely, to a significant extent, on fees and charges for support. 19 City of Montclair
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2023
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants 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 restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not property included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise 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, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements.
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 recognized as revenue 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.
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 period, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 90 days of the end of the current fiscal period, to include revenues received later than 60 days due to delays in processing payments to the City by other levels of government. 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.
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 fiscal period.
Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Successor Agency Bonds Capital Projects Fund accounts for bond funds to be expended on various approved projects.
The Infrastructure Capital Projects Fund accounts for monies set aside by City Council for the purpose of economic development within the City.
The 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds Capital Projects Fund accounts for projects funded by the issuance of the 2021 Lease Revenue Bonds.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2023
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued The City reports the following major proprietary fund:
The Sewer Maintenance Fund accounts for sewer service revenues and the corresponding sewer maintenance expenses.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
The Custodial funds are used to account for assets held by a governmental unit as an agent for individual, private organizations and/or other governmental units. The Successor Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund accounts for the balances and activities relating to the dissolution of the former Redevelopment Agency.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the government's proprietary funds functions and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reporting as nonoperating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted, as they are needed.
D) Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity
Deposits 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 financial statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents are shown as both restricted and unrestricted cash and investments in the Proprietary funds.
Investments for the City, as well as for its component units, are reported at fair value. The City's policy is generally to hold investments until maturity or until market values equal or exceed costs. The State Treasurer's Investment Pool operates in accordance with 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 representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "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 funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances."

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2023
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Advances between funds, if reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by nonspendable fund balance in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation.
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles.
Policy for Eliminating Internal Activity in Government-Wide Statement of Activities Administrative overhead charges are made to funds and programs and are thereby included in the direct expenses of those funds and programs.
Property Tax Calendar
Property tax revenue is recognized on the modified accrual basis, that is, in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied providing they become available. Available means then due or pass 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 San Bernardino collects property taxes for the City. Tax liens attach annually as of 12:01 A.M. on the first day in January preceding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Taxes are levied on both real and personal property as it exists on that date. The tax levy covers the fiscal period July 1 to June 30. All secured personal property taxes and onehalf 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. Unsecured personal property taxes become due on the first of January each year and are delinquent, if unpaid, 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 which have a primary objective of providing legal and policy guidelines for the City. Also included in this classification are those activities which provide management or support services across more than one functional area. Public Safety includes those activities which involve the protection of people and property. Community Development includes those activities which involve the enhancing of the general quality of life.
Public Works includes those activities which involve the maintenance and improvement of City streets, roads and park development and maintenance.
Debt Service includes those activities that account for the payment of long-term principal, interest and fiscal charges.
Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. 22 City of Montclair
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2023
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of debt issues, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. In addition, funds have been restricted for future capital improvements by City resolution.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, intangible assets and infrastructure assets (roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the Government-wide Financial Statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 for equipment and $50,000 for infrastructure. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets received prior to the implementation of GASB 72 were recorded at fair value on the date of donation. Donated capital assets received subsequent to the implementation of GASB 72 are recorded at acquisition value as of the date received.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend assets' lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Sewer Lines 100 years
Structures and Improvements 20 to 99 years
Furniture and Equipment 5 to 20 years
Infrastructure Assets 5 to 30 years
Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are the City's liabilities for future vacation, sick and other leave benefits. The shortterm portion is determined to be the amount due to employees for future absences which is attributable to services already rendered and which is expected to be paid during the next fiscal year. The total amount of liability for compensated absences is segregated between short-term and long-term as indicated above, with both portions being reflected in the government-wide financial statements. Compensated absences are paid, when matured, out of the general fund.
For Proprietary funds, the total amount of the liability for compensated absences is segregated between shortterm and long-term as indicated above and both portions are reflected in the fund involved.
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 two times his or her regular annual entitlement without approval of the City Manager.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Sick leave is payable when an employee is unable to work because of illness. Sick leave may be accumulated indefinitely or an employee may convert one-half of unused sick leave accrued during the preceding year for cash providing the person has been employed on a full-time basis for two years immediately preceding November 30 of each year. Unused sick leave may be redeemed in the two years prior to retirement at the rate of two days of sick leave for one day of absence leave. All unused sick leave is forfeited upon termination, other than for normal retirement.
Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Other Postemployment Benefits
For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used: June 30, 2022 Valuation Date, June 30, 2022 Measurement Date, July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 Measurement Period.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, longterm debt and other obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, businesstype activities or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds recognize bond premiums and discounts, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents consumption of net position that applies to future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until then. The City reports deferred outflows relating to the Total OPEB Liability as well as the Net Pension Liability.
24 City of Montclair
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2023
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has one type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, which qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from property taxes, special assessments, grant receivables, and other miscellaneous receivables. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. In addition, the City reports deferred inflows related to the Total OPEB Liability and also the Net Pension Liability.
Net Position
Net Investment in Capital Assets – this category groups all capital assets, including infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce this category.
Restricted Net Position – this category represents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position - this category represents the net position of the City that is not externally restricted for any project or other purpose.
Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g. restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the statement of net position, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position, is applied.
Fund Balances
Fund balances in governmental funds are reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance).
In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance
in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the 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.
The following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for which resources can be used:
25 City of Montclair
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2023
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Nonspendable Fund Balance - Amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in nonspendable form or are required to be maintained intact.
Restricted Fund Balance - Amounts that are constrained to specific purposes by state or federal laws, or externally imposed conditions by grantors or creditors.
Committed Fund Balance - Amounts constrained for a specific purpose by City Council action. It would require the same action by City Council to remove the constraint.
Assigned Fund Balance - Amounts that are constrained by the City Manager with the intent to use specified financial resources for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed as defined by the City’s fund balance policy adopted by Resolution No. 11-2932.
Unassigned Fund Balance - These are either residual positive net resources of fund balance in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories, or negative balances. 2) STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Deposits
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 allows financial institutions to secure Agency 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 collateral 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 Depository. 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 the security interest in the name of the local government 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
Under provisions of the City's investment policy, and in accordance with the California Government Code, the following investments are authorized:
Bonds issued by the local agency
United States Treasury notes, bonds, bills or certificates Registered state warrants or treasury notes or bonds of California Bonds, notes, warrants or other evidences of indebtedness of any local agency of the State of California Federal Agency or United States government-sponsored enterprise obligations, participations, or other instruments.
Bankers' Acceptances and commercial paper
Negotiable certificates of deposit
Repurchase Agreements and reverse repurchase agreements Medium-term notes
Money market funds
Notes, bonds, or other obligations that are at all times secured by a valid first priority security interest Mortgage pass-through securities
Local Agency Investment fund
Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
The above investments do not address investment 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.

Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the 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 accordance 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.
GASB Statement No. 31
GASB Statement No. 31 established fair value standards for investments in participating interest earning investment 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 changes in the fair value of investments, is recognized as revenue in the operating statement.
Credit Risk
The City's investment policy limits investments in medium-term notes (MTN's) to those rated "A" or higher by Standard and Poor's (S&P) or by Moody's. As of June 30, 2023, the City has no investment in medium-term notes. All securities were investment grade and were legal under State law. Investments in U.S. treasuries are not considered to have credit risk and, therefore, their credit quality is not disclosed. As of June 30, 2023, the City's investments in external investment pools and money market mutual funds are unrated.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. As of June 30, 2023, none of the City's deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City's investment policy imposes restrictions for certain types of investments with any one issuer. With respect to concentration risk, as of June 30, 2023, the City is in compliance with the investment policy restrictions.
Investments guaranteed by the U.S. government and investments in mutual funds and external investment pools are excluded from this requirement. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 40, if the City has invested more than 5% of its investments in any one issuer, then they are exposed to credit risk. The City had no investments in any one issuer that exceeded 5% of total investments.
Interest Rate Risk
The City's investment policy limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. The City's investment policy states that at least 15% of the City's portfolio shall mature in one year or less, and 50% in three years or less. The only exception to these maturity limits shall be the investment of the gross proceeds of tax-exempt bonds. As of June 30, 2023, the City had the following investments and original maturities:

Fair Value of Investments
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The City has no investments that are subject to the fair value hierarchy.

Dissolution of the former Redevelopment Agency
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill X126 (the Bill) that provided for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. The Bill provided that upon dissolution of the City’s former Redevelopment Agency, either the City or another unit of local government were to serve as the “Successor Agency” to hold the assets of the dissolved redevelopment agency until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. The City elected to become the Successor Agency for the former Redevelopment Agency in accordance with the Bill.
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California were prohibited from entering into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution, including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments.

A Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) has been established, in accordance with State law, to allocate revenue to the Successor Agency in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual payments on enforceable obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency until all enforceable obligations have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
The former Redevelopment Agency pledged, as security for bonds it issued, a portion of the tax increment revenue that it would have received. The Successor Agency currently receives distributions from the RPTTF, as described above, to pay the debt service on the outstanding bonds. The Successor Agency appropriates each year, from these resources, amounts sufficient to cover the principal and interest requirements on the debt. Total principal and interest remaining on the debt is $34,723,177 with debt service requirements as indicated above.

7) PENSION PLANS
General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Description – All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost-sharing Multiple-employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan) administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS.) The Plan consists of individual rate plans (benefit tiers) within a safety risk pool (police and fire) and a miscellaneous risk pool. 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 GASB Statement No. 68.
Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the miscellaneous or safety risk pools. The City sponsors nine rate plans (three miscellaneous and six 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.
Benefits Provided – The Plan is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). A full description of the pension plan benefit provisions, assumptions for funding purposes but not accounting purposes, and membership information is listed in the June 30, 2021 Annual Actuarial Valuation Report. Details of the benefits provided can be obtained in Appendix B of the June 30, 2020 actuarial valuation report.

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. The dollar amounts are billed on a monthly basis. The City’s required contribution for the unfunded liability was $1,230,168 in fiscal year 2023.
The City’s contributions to the Plan for the year ended June 30, 2023 were $3,324,015.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions As of June 30, 2023, the City reported a liability of $31,971,110 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2022, and the total pension liability for the Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021 rolled forward to June 30, 2022 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined.
The City’s proportionate share of the Plan’s net pension liability as of June 30, 2021 and 2022 was as follows:
For the year ended June 30, 2023, the City recognized pension expense of $22,124,832. At June 30, 2023, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to the Plan from the following sources:
$3,324,015 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30, 2024. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized as pension expense as follows:

Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2021 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and Postretirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return - The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of 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 the funds’ asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund.
The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.

The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for PERF C was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate – The following presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Plan, calculated using the discount rate for each Plan, as well as what the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1–percentage point lower or 1–percentage point higher than the current rate:

9) SELF-INSURANCE PROGRAM
The City is self-insured for workers' compensation claims up to $500,000 for each occurrence and for general liability claims up to $200,000. Excess liability coverage above the self-insurance amounts is provided through the California Insurance Pool Authority (CIPA). CIPA, a public entity risk pool was established to pool resources, share risk, purchase excess insurance and share costs for professional risk management, and claims administration.
Workers' Compensation and Employers Liability Pool Contract is limited per accident at $3,000,000 in excess of the City's self-insurance retention stated above. Portions of general liability exceeding the above-mentioned amounts are covered by CIPA up to a maximum $40,000,000 each occurrence and in the aggregate by Everest National Insurance Company (up to $10,000,000), and American Merchants Casualty Insurance Company (up to $15,000,000), and by Arch Specialty Insurance Company (up to $15,000,000), in that order.
Member cities make payments to CIPA based on underwriting estimates. Additional coverage for general liability claims is maintained through CIPA from a commercial insurer for claims in excess of per claim and annual aggregate amounts. Complete financial statements for CIPA may be obtained from their offices at the following address: CIPA, 240 Newport Center Drive, Suite 210, Newport Beach, CA 92660.
As of June 30, 2023, third party claims administrators estimated $4,662,465 in necessary liability reserves for both general liability and workers' compensation claims. The City has not experienced a significant reduction in insurance coverage from the prior year. Additionally, the amount of settlements has not exceeded budgeted coverage for each of the past three fiscal years.
While the ultimate losses incurred through June 30, 2023 are dependent on future developments, based upon information from the City Attorney, outside counsel, service agents and others involved with the administration of the programs, City management believes that the estimated aggregate amount is adequate to cover such losses. Costs relating to the litigation of claims are charged to expenditures as incurred. Claims liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated.
These losses include an estimate of claims that have been incurred but not reported.
Claims liabilities at June 30, 2023 represent the City's best estimate, based on available information, as follows:
10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The City participates in several federal and state programs. These programs are subject to 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.
The estimated amount of remaining construction obligations at year-end is $5,500,829.

Independent Auditor’s Report
City of Montclair as Successor Agency for the
City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency
Montclair, California
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the City of Montclair as Successor Agency for the City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency), which comprise the bonding financial disclosure basis project area balance sheet, all debt services funds as of June 30, 2023, and the bonding financial disclosure basis project area revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances, all debt service funds for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and liabilities of the Successor Agency as of June 30, 2023, and its revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the year then ended in accordance with the financial reporting disclosure provisions applicable to its bond issues outstanding.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Successor Agency, 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.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with financial reporting disclosure requirements of bond issues of the Successor Agency, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Successor Agency’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
1 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.
Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Successor Agency’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Successor Agency’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Basis of Accounting
We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting and the reporting entity. The financial statements are prepared by the Successor Agency on the basis of the financial reporting provisions of bonding financial disclosure requirements, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to comply with the financial disclosure provisions of the bonding contractual relationships referred to above. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
2 Restriction on Use
Our report is intended solely for the information and use of the City of Montclair as Successor Agency for the City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency and organizations assessing compliance with bonding provisions. It is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) Description of Entity
This reporting entity is for the City of Montclair as Successor Agency for the City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency).
The City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency (the Agency) was activated June 6, 1977, pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code, Section 33000, entitled "Community Development Law." The primary purpose of the Agency was to encourage private redevelopment of property and to rehabilitate areas suffering from economic disuse arising from poor and inadequate planning, inadequate street layout and street access, lack of open space, landscaping and other improvements and facilities necessary to establish and maintain the economic growth of the City. However, the Agency was dissolved as of February 1, 2012 as a result of State legislation and its assets and obligations were transferred to the Successor Agency for disposition.
The City of Montclair as Successor Agency for the City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency became effective on February 1, 2012 because on December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 ("the Bill") that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the City or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the "successor agency" to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. On January 12, 2012, the City Council of the City of Montclair elected to become the Successor Agency for the former redevelopment agency in accordance with the Bill as part of City Resolution No. 12-2934.
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).
In future fiscal years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
The Bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, the State Controller is required to order the available assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill. The State Controller’s Office review has been done and the Successor Agency complied with all findings present. 6 City of Montclair as Successor Agency

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011) all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as a legal entity as of February 1, 2012. Prior to that date, the final several months of the activity of the redevelopment agency continued to be reported in the governmental funds of the Former Redevelopment Agency. After the date of dissolution, the assets and activities of the dissolved redevelopment agency are maintained in the same accounting structure as previously utilized by the Successor Agency; however, they are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City of Montclair.
The Successor Agency is the continuing entity arising from the dissolution of the former Redevelopment Agency. Therefore, ending balances displayed in the accompanying financial statements represent balances applicable to the Successor Agency only.
B) Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The financial statements (i.e., balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance – all debit service funds) report information on all of the activities relating to bond financial disclosure requirements of the Successor Agency.
C) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The financial statements are prepared by the Successor Agency on the basis of the financial reporting provisions of bonding financial disclosure requirements, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This is done to comply with the financial disclosure provisions of the bonding contractual relationships as explained below.
The former Redevelopment Agency was a party to various bonding arrangements and those bond issues require financial reporting of the various assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures segregated by redevelopment project area for pledged revenues and bonding transactions. To demonstrate that reporting, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared which are segregated by the project areas of the former Redevelopment Agency. The various governmental funds presented are limited to those that involve debt service operations of the Successor Agency. Since that is only a portion of the total operations of the Successor Agency (surviving entity of the dissolution process), these financial statements do not report the financial position and results of operations of the complete Successor Agency which has been done as part of the City of Montclair's financial reporting.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued The accompanying 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 period, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
The County of San Bernardino collects property taxes for the entities. Tax liens attach annually as of 12:01 A.M. on the first day in January preceding 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. Unsecured personal property taxes become due on the first of January each year and are delinquent on August 31. All property taxes are deposited, by the County of San Bernardino, into a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF). Allocations from the RPTTF occur twice during the fiscal year and cover an upcoming six-month period.
These allocations are based upon Department of Finance (DOF) approved enforceable obligations that are reported, by the Successor Agency, on Redevelopment Obligation Payment Schedules (ROPS). The County of San Bernardino deducts from the RPTTF administrative charges and pass through obligations that it calculates and, if sufficient monies remain, the DOF approved amount of enforceable obligations. Any remaining balance in the RPTTF after the enforceable obligation distribution, is distributed to the taxing entities by the County as residual balances. If insufficient monies are present to accomplish the required allocation for DOF approved enforceable obligations then the subordination of pass through obligations will be considered. Enforceable obligation allocations serve as the resources to accomplish debt service payments. Based upon information received from the County, the RPTTF allocations have been grossed up in the accompanying financial statements to show the total of property taxes received as well as administrative costs, pass through payments and residual balance allocations made.
Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due. 2) CASH AND INVESTMENTS
As of June 30, 2023, cash and investments were reported in the accompanying financial statements as follows:
Cash and Investments $ 1,135,226
Cash and Investments with Trustee 2,109,634
Total Cash and Investments $ 3,244,860

2) CASH AND INVESTMENTS - Continued
The Successor Agency maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use for all of its funds. The amounts above represent only a portion of that investment pool applicable to its debt service funds. Monies held by its fiscal agents, under the provisions of bond indentures, are not part of this cash and investment pool and are reported separately as cash and investments with trustees. The Successor Agency has adopted an investment policy, which authorizes it to invest in various investments. Since the amounts above represent only a portion of the cash and investment pool of the Successor Agency, information on specific investments has not been included here. That information is available in the City of Montclair's financial report where the Successor Agency is reported as a private-purpose trust fund.
Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
Investments of debt proceeds held by bond trustees are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the Successor Agency’s investment policy. The debt agreements, available at the City, identify the investment types that are authorized for investments held by bond trustees, and also include provisions relating to interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates.
As of June 30, 2023, the Successor Agency had no investments.
Fair Value of Investments
The Successor Agency categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The Successor Agency has no investments at year-end that are subject to recurring fair value measurements.
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Successor Agency held no investments at June 30, 2023.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Successor Agency does not have investments in any one issuer (other than U.S. Treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment pools) that represent 5% or more of total Successor Agency investments.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial 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 recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the Successor Agency’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local government units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure Successor Agency deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
GASB Statement No. 40 requires that the following disclosure be made with respect to custodial credit risks relating to deposits and investments: The Successor Agency did not have any deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits and held in uncollateralized accounts. As of June 30, 2023, the Successor Agency held no investments.
3) INTERFUND TRANSFERS
The accompanying financial statements report debt service funds for the Successor Agency.
These funds receive pledged revenue and then transfer those amounts to the funds specified in the applicable bond indentures. Once the pledged revenues exceed the requirements of the bond indentures then the pledge is satisfied and any remaining amounts are available for use in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Transfers In and Out have been reported in the accompanying financial statements as follows:

Only accounting funds applicable to the debt servicing operations of the Successor Agency are presented in these financial statements. Administrative allowance and operational fund payments were made from the tax increment operations of the Successor Agency to remove monies from accounting funds handling pledged revenue to accounting funds which would accomplish distributions to taxing entities and pay administrative costs of the Successor Agency.
4) LONG-TERM DEBT
The following is a summary of changes in long-term debt of the Successor Agency for the year ended June 30, 2023:

This issuance was done to achieve substantial debt service savings over the remaining life of the Prior Bonds. The refunding bond plan has been approved by the Successor Agency’s Board of Directors, County Oversight Board and the Department of Finance.
The Prior Bonds were issued to finance and refinance the Former Agency’s undertakings with respect to four project areas (Project Area No. 1, Project Area No. III, Project Area No.

5) AVAILABLE RESOURCES OF SUCCESSOR AGENCY
As part of the elimination of the City of Montclair Redevelopment Agency, AB 1484 required that "due diligence" reviews be conducted on the Successor Agency to determine amounts that were to be paid to the county for allocation to taxing entities. Two reviews were required. The first related to Low- and Moderate-income Housing Funds held by the Successor Agency and the second was for all other funds of the Successor Agency. The Lowand Moderate-income Housing review was completed, approved by the Department of Finance and resulted in $7,884,597 being paid to the County of San Bernardino for allocation to the respective taxing entities. The Other Funds review has also been completed by the Successor Agency, approved by the Department of Finance and it resulted in $7,876,440 being paid to the County of San Bernardino for allocation to the respective taxing entities.
As a result of these payments, the resources available to the Successor Agency to provide monies for debt service, etc. have been substantially depleted. On May 16, 2013, DOF issued a Finding of Completion to the Successor Agency indicating that all required payments specified under the legislation had been met.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
Crowe LLP
Independent Member Crowe Global
We have audited the financial statements of the Measure I Fund of the City of Montclair, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Measure I Fund of the City, as of June 30, 2023, and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Measure I Fund, a governmental fund, and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2023 or the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. (Continued)
1. 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 opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. (Continued)
2. Additional Information
Management is responsible for the accompanying Maintenance of Effort: Comparison of Base Level Amount to Annual Expenditures (the "additional information"), which is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the additional information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the additional information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the additional information and the basic financial statements, or the additional information otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the additional information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 17, 2024, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting of the Measure I Fund and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance, as it relates to the Measure I Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
NOTE 1 -GENERAL INFORMATION
Reporting Entity: The financial statements are intended to reflect the financial position and changes in financial position of the Measure I Fund of the City of Montclair, California (City) only. Accordingly, the financial statements do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2023, and the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Measure I: Measure I is the half-cent sales tax collected throughout San Bernardino County for transportation improvements. In 2004, San Bernardino County voters approved the extension of the Measure I sales tax through 2040. See Note 4 for a detailed description of the Measure.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fund Accounting: The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds. A fund is defined as an independent fiscal and accounting entity wherein operations of each fund are accounted for in a separate set of self-balancing accounts that record resources, related benefits, and equity, segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities. The City accounts for the Measure I activities within its Measure I Special Revenue Fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting: The Special Revenue Funds of the City are accounted for 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 collected within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, revenues are available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred. Operating statements of governmental funds present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current resources.
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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fund Balance: Fund balance is reported according to the following classifications: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned based on the relative strength of the constraints that control how specific amounts can be spent.
(Continued)
6. CITY OF MONTCLAIR, CALIFORNIA
MEASURE I FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Restricted fund balance represents amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions or enabling legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, granters, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the City considers restricted funds to have been spent first.
Cash and Investments: Cash and investments are pooled by the City to facilitate cash management and maximize investment opportunities and yields. Investment income resulting from this pooling is allocated to the respective funds including the Measure I Fund based upon the average cash balance. The investment policies and the risks related to cash and investments, applicable to the Measure I Fund, are those of the City and are disclosed in the City's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements can be obtained at City Hall.
The Measure I Fund's cash and investments are reported at fair value. The fair value measurements are based on the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The Measure I Fund's deposits and withdrawals in the City Investment Pool are made on the basis of $1 and not fair value. Accordingly, the Measure I Fund's investment in the City Investment Pool is measured based on inputs that are uncategorized and not defined as a Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 input.
Maintenance of Effort: In accordance with California Public Utilities Code 190300 and Ordinance No. 04- 01 of the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), Local Street Program funds shall not be used to supplant existing local discretionary funds being used for street and highway purposes. The maintenance of effort (MOE) base year level was determined based upon the discretionary General Fund expenditures for transportation-related construction and maintenance activities in fiscal year 2008/2009.
The MOE base year level as approved by the SBCTA Board of Directors shall remain in effect until the expiration of Measure I 2010-2040. General Fund expenditures in excess of the MOE base year level will carry over to subsequent fiscal years and can be applied in a future year to offset the amount the local agency may need to meet the MOE requirement. The City's determined MOE base level is $894,728.
NOTE 3-TAXES RECEIVABLE
The taxes receivable represent the Measure I sales tax revenues for the fiscal year received from SBCTA after June 30, 2023.
NOTE 4 - MEASURE I FUND
The California State Legislature authorized county transportation authorities to enact local option sales tax measures for transportation improvements in the late 1980s, under provisions of Division 19 (commencing with Section 180000) of the Public Utilities Code. In November 1989, San Bernardino County voters approved passage of Measure I, authorizing SBCTA to impose a half cent retail transactions and use tax applicable in the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County of San Bernardino for the 20-year period between April 1, 1990 and March 31, 2010. SBCTA was authorized to administer the programs described in the Measure.

MEASURE I FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
NOTE 4 - MEASURE I FUND (Continued)
Early in the second decade of Measure I, it became apparent that continuation of the half cent sales tax would be critical to maintaining funding for transportation in San Bernardino County. SBCTA member jurisdictions and transportation stakeholders worked to identify transportation needs, and an expenditure plan was developed to serve as a basis for the renewal of Measure I. Ordinance No. 04-01 was placed before voters in November 2004, and Measure I was renewed. The new Measure I extends the half cent sales tax for 30 years, from April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2040. The new Measure is referred to as Measure I 2010-2040 to distinguish it from the first Measure I.
Revenue from the tax can only be used for transportation improvement and traffic management programs authorized in the Expenditure Plan.
Measure I 2010-2040 has a return-to-source provision that states that funds shall be allocated to subareas in accordance with the actual revenue collected in each subarea. After deduction of required Board of Equalization fees and authorized administrative costs, revenues generated in each subarea are to be expended on projects of direct benefit to that subarea. Revenues are accounted for separately for each subarea and then allocated to specified project categories in each subarea. These project categories are termed "programs" in the Strategic Plan. Decisions on how revenues are expended within the subareas are made by the SBCTA Board of Directors based upon recommendations of local subarea representatives.
Other than the projects identified in the Cajon Pass Expenditure Plan, revenues generated within a subarea can be expended outside of that subarea only upon approval of two-thirds (2/3) of the jurisdictions within the affected subarea. A proportional share of projected state and federal transportation funds is to be reserved for use solely within the Valley subarea and individual Mountain/Desert (Colorado River, Morongo Basin, Mountains, North Desert and Victor Valley) subareas. In the San Bernardino Valley subarea, Measure I 2010-2040 contains the following programs:
• Freeway Program
• Freeway Interchange Program
• Major Street Program
• Local Street Program
• Metrolink/Rail Program
• Express Bus/Bus Rapid Transit Program
• Senior and Disabled Transit Program
• Traffic Management Systems Program
In each of the Mountain/Desert subareas, Measure I 2010-2040 contains the following programs:
• Local Street Program
• Major Local Highway Program
• Senior and Disabled Transit Program
NOTE 5 - DUE FROM OTHER CITY FUNDS
Due from other City funds in the amount of $442,941 represents amounts borrowed by the City's Development Impact Fee Regional Fund. The provided resources to pay the SBCTA Development Impact Fees (DIF) are associated with the City's Monte Vista Avenue/Union Pacific Grade Separation Project, as required by the SBCTA Nexus Study. The amount will be repaid to the Measure I Fund as DIF are collected. (Continued)
8. NOTE 6 - AGREEMENTS
CITY OF MONTCLAIR, CALIFORNIA
MEASURE I FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
The City has entered into an agreement with SBCTA for the construction of the Monte Vista Avenue/Union Pacific Grade Separation Project. The cooperative agreement was entered into on August 3, 2015 and amended June 6, 2016. The agreement states that the project is identified in the SBCTA Nexus Study and that the project will be carried out in accordance with the policies of the Measure I 2010-2040 Strategic Plan. The agreement specifies responsibilities for both the City and SBCTA. The estimated project cost is $27,404,902 and the City is responsible for a share of the estimated project costs in the amount not to exceed $2,435, 131 of which $2,379,873 has been paid through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The agreement also specifies that in the occurrence of any uncured event of default, SBCTA is authorized to withhold Valley Major Street Arterial Sub-Program Funds or Local Street Program pass-through funds equivalent to the loan amount outstanding at the time of default.

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 Board of Directors
San Bernardino County Transportation Authority
San Bernardino, 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 Measure I Fund (Measure I Fund) of the City of Montclair, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Measure I Fund's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated January 17, 2024.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting of the Measure I Fund (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion 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 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, and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. We did identify a deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses as item 2023-001, that we consider to be a material weakness. (Continued)
13. Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Measure I Fund of the City 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 statements. 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.
City's Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards requires 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 findings and responses. The City's response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
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 for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH MEASURE I COMPLIANCE
REQUIREMENTS AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE To the Board of Directors
San Bernardino County Transportation Authority
San Bernardino, California
Report on Compliance with the Measure I Ordinance
We have audited City of Montclair's ("City") compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in Measure I Ordinance (the "Ordinance"), that could have a direct and material effect on the City's compliance with the Ordinance for the year ended June 30, 2023.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on its Ordinance for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Basis for Opinion on the Ordinance
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the Ordinance. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with 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 opinion on compliance. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the Ordinance.
(Continued)
15. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Ordinance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City's compliance with the requirements of the Ordinance.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Ordinance, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. • Obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Ordinance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Ordinance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Ordinance will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Ordinance that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
(Continued)
16. Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Ordinance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES
Year ended June 30, 2023
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS - GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS 2023-001 - FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENT- (Material Weakness)
Criteria:
Investments are required to be reported at fair value in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Condition/Context:
The LAIF investment balance, which is tracked based on amortized cost, was not reported at fair value.
Cause:
The City did not record or allocate an adjustment to the Measure I Fund at fiscal year end.
Effect:
The Measure I Fund cash and investments balance was overstated by $44,288 prior to audit adjustment.
Recommendation:
We recommend that the City incorporate procedures to record fair market value adjustments for the LAIF investment balances held in the Measure I Fund.
Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions:
In Fiscal Year 2013-14 the allocation procedures for City held investments was consolidated in the General Fund and the interest earned on those investments was allocated to other funds at year-end. After this change the Fair Value Adjustment was only distributed in the General Fund. The independent auditors of Crowe LLP brought this oversight to our attention. Beginning with Fiscal Year 2023-24 the City will change our procedure regarding the distribution of the Fair Value Adjustment and will distribute the change in the same manner as the interest earned.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
CROWELLP
Independent Member Crowe Global
We have audited the financial statements of the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Fund Activity (TDA Fund Activity) of the City of Montclair, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TDA Fund Activity of the City, as of June 30, 2023, and the changes in its financial position thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the TDA Fund Activity, and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2023, or the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. (Continued)
1. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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 opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. (Continued)
2. Additional Information
Management is responsible for the accompanying schedule of allocations received and expended, by project year (the "additional information"), which is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the additional information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
We read the additional information and considered whether a material inconsistency existed between the additional information and the financial statements, or the additional information otherwise appeared to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we had concluded that an uncorrected material misstatement of the additional information existed, we would have described it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 17, 2024, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting of the TDA Fund Activity and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance of the TDA Fund Activity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
Reporting Entity: The financial statements are intended to reflect the financial position and changes in financial position of the Transportation Development Act (TOA) Article 3 Fund Activity only. Accordingly, the financial statements do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the of the City of Montclair, California (City), and the changes in its financial position in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Article 3: The City has entered into a Cooperative Agreement (TOA 3 Agreement) with San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to enhance bicycle and pedestrian facilities in accordance with Section 99234 of the California Public Utilities Code (Code). According to the Code, TOA Article 3 monies may only be used for facilities provided for the exclusive use of pedestrians and bicycles, including the construction and related engineering expenditures of those facilities, the maintenance of bicycle trails (that are closed to motorized traffic) and bicycle safety education programs. TOA Article 3 Funds may also be used for transportation-related projects that enhance quality of life through the design of pedestrian walkways and bicycle facilities. TOA Article 3 projects may be stand-alone projects, such as projects that serve the needs of commuting bicyclists, including, but not limited to, new trails serving major transportation corridors, secure bicycle parking at employment centers, park and ride lots and transit terminals where other funds are available. TOA Article 3 projects may also be add-ons to normal transportation projects, such as additional sidewalk and bike lanes on a bridge, enhanced pedestrian lighting, and median refuge islands for pedestrians.
When an approved project is ready for construction, as evidenced by a contract award or commitment of the participating agency's resources, the participating agency submits a claim to SBCTA for disbursement of TOA Funds. The participating agency may submit the claim, either prior or subsequent to, incurring project expenditures. After review and approval of the claim, SBCTA issues the allocation disbursement instructions to the County Auditor-Controller. Following instruction from SBCTA, funds are disbursed from the County Local Transportation Fund to the participating agency. In accordance with the agreement, the City is required to provide matching funds equal to 10% to 50% of the project costs. The City satisfied its required match during the fiscal year.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fund Accounting: The City accounts for the activity of the Article 3 TOA Fund Activity in its General Fund, under 1163 and 1751 sub funds.
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds. A fund is defined as an independent fiscal and accounting entity wherein operations of each fund are accounted for in a separate set of self-balancing accounts that record resources, related benefits, and equity, segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities. The City accounts for the TOA activities in separate general ledger accounts within in its General Fund, under 1163 and 1751 sub funds.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting: The general fund of the City are accounted for 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 collected within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, revenues are available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred. (Continued)
6. CITY OF MONTCLAIR, CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT FUND ACTIVITY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash and Investments: Cash and investments are pooled by the City to facilitate cash management and maximize investment opportunities and yields. Investment income resulting from this pooling is allocated to the respective funds including the TDA Fund Activity based upon the average cash balance. The investment policies and the risks related to cash and investments, applicable to the TDA Fund Activity, are those of the City and are disclosed in the City's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements can be obtained at City Hall. As of June 30, 2023, cash balance was $0.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fund Balance: Fund balance is reported according to the following classifications: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned based on the relative strength of the constraints that control how specific amounts can be spent.
Restricted fund balance represents amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions or enabling legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, granters, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the City considers restricted funds to have been spent first.

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 Board of Directors
San Bernardino County Transportation Authority
San Bernardino, 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 financial statements of Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Fund Activity (TDA Fund Activity) of the City of Montclair, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the TDA Fund Activity's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 17, 2024.
Reporl on Internal Control Over Financial Reporling
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting of the TDA Fund Activity (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion 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 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 have not been identified. (Continued)
11. Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the TOA Fund Activity of the City are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, including Section 6666 of Part 21 of the California Code of Regulations and the allocation instructions of the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.
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, including the requirements of Section 6666 of Part 21 of the California Code of Regulations and the allocation instructions of the SBCTA.
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 for any other purpose.
