Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Members of the Mountain View Community:
I submit for your information and consideration the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Mountain View (City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION
The local economy is beginning to show signs of slowing. While the City’s major revenues have generally remained stable and, in some cases, benefited from inflationary trends and higher interest rates, these factors are not expected to continue at the same pace. As a result, future growth in the City’s major revenue sources is anticipated to be modest, with some areas experiencing minimal increases or potential softening in the near future. Thanks to the leadership of the City Council and through the support and hard work of the Executive Leadership team and our outstanding City employees, we have provided an exceptional level of service to our community while maintaining fiscal stability during the fiscal year.
While revenues have been strong in recent years, expenditures are expected to increase at a faster pace than revenue growth, creating a more challenging long-term fiscal outlook. As a result, we remain cautiously optimistic about the future fiscal health of the City. However, continued uncertainty related to inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, shifting national economic policies, and global geopolitical conflicts further clouds the economic picture. Collectively, these factors contribute to the likelihood of slower, more moderate growth in the years ahead.
The current General Operating Fund Forecast indicates that the City has sufficient financial resources to maintain the Mountain View of today. However, building the Mountain View of tomorrow will require continued efforts to enhance and diversify the City’s revenue streams, ensuring long-term fiscal stability and accomplishing the bold initiatives the City is advancing.
During the fiscal year, on November 5, 2024, Mountain View residents overwhelmingly supported the vision for the Mountain View of tomorrow and passed a proposed ballot measure, Measure G, by over 72%. Measure G creates an additional tier to the existing property transfer tax for transactions over $6.0 million, providing a new revenue source to help the City invest in key community priorities.
Per City Council direction, this additional source of revenue will be dedicated to the following funding priorities for the next 10 years:
• 35.0% to 40.0% for Public Safety Facilities;
• 30.0% to 35.0% for Parks, Open Space, and Biodiversity; Exhibit 1

Members of the Mountain View Community

• 20.0% to 25.0% for Affordable Housing; and
• 5.0% to 15.0% for other general governmental services, including road maintenance, active transportation, small business support, and homeless support services, among others.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
It is my pleasure to present the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The ACFR has been prepared in accordance with the principles and standards for financial reporting established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and in compliance with City Charter, Section 1106.
Although the audit is conducted by an independent certified public accounting firm, City management assumes full responsibility for the accuracy of the data, as well as the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures. We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material respects, that its presentation fairly shows the financial position and the results of the City’s operations as measured by the financial activity of the City’s various funds, and, in conjunction with the included notes, will provide the reader with an understanding of the City’s financial activities and status.
To provide a basis for making these representations, City management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficiently reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh its benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement.
The City’s books, financial records, and financial statements have been audited by Badawi & Associates, a firm of independent licensed certified public accountants, selected by and reporting to the City Council. The objective of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City and related entities are free of material misstatement. The independent auditor concluded, based upon their audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified “clean” opinion on the City’s basic financial statements as of, and for, the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and they are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented at the beginning of the financial section of this report, on Page 1.
GAAP requires management to provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in a section entitled "Management’s Discussion and Analysis" (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the vi

independent auditors. The notes to the financial statements are provided in the financial section and are considered essential to fair presentation and adequate disclosure.
The ACFR is divided into the following sections:
The Introductory Section includes this letter of transmittal, an overview of the organizational structure of the City, and prior awards received.
The Financial Section includes the following:
•
Independent Auditor’s Report.
• Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
• Basic Financial Statements—Includes the government-wide financial statements that present an overview of the City’s entire financial operations and the fund financial statements that present financial information for each of the City’s major funds as well as other governmental, proprietary, and custodial funds.
• Notes to Basic Financial Statements—The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
• Required Supplementary Information—Includes schedules required to be presented, showing information related to the City’s pension plans and other postemployment benefits plan. • Other Supplementary Information—Includes the Budgetary Schedule of the Park Land Dedication Capital Projects Fund, Combining Statements and Schedules of the nonmajor governmental funds, internal service funds, and custodial funds.
The Statistical Section includes tables containing historical financial data, debt statistics, and miscellaneous social and economic data of the City that may be of interest to potential investors in the City’s bonds and to other readers. The data includes 10-year revenue and expenditure information as well as 10 years of net position/fund balance information.
This ACFR includes the results of financial activities of the primary government, which encompasses several enterprise activities as well as all of its component units: the Mountain View Shoreline Regional Park Community (Shoreline Community) and the City of Mountain View Capital Improvements Financing Authority (Financing Authority). Separate financial statements for the Shoreline Community are included following the Statistical Section. There is no legal requirement for a separate component unit report for the Financing Authority. vii

PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City was incorporated on November 7, 1902. The City Charter was originally approved by voters in 1952 and requires the City to operate under a Council-Manager form of government. Seven Councilmembers are elected at-large for four-year terms that are staggered, so three or four seats are filled at the general municipal election in November of every even-numbered year. Continuous service on the City Council is limited to two consecutive terms. Each year, in January, Council elects one of its members as Mayor and another as Vice Mayor.
With a population of approximately 86,513 and occupying just over 12 square miles, Mountain View is situated in Silicon Valley, about 36 miles southeast of the City of San Francisco and 15 miles northwest of the City of San Jose.
The City provides the following full range of municipal services, which are reflected in this report:
• General government (city management, legal, human resources, information technology, and financial activities);
• Public safety (police and fire services);
• Public works (engineering, design, and utility maintenance); • Community development (land use, development review, inspections, and affordable housing); and
• Culture and recreation (library, parks, recreation, performing arts, and golf course).
The City also provides water, wastewater, and solid waste utility enterprise activities, and the financial information regarding these activities is included in this report.
The financial reporting entity includes all funds of the primary government (i.e., the City) as well as its component units. The seven-member City Council serves as the governing body of the Mountain View Shoreline Regional Park Community and the City of Mountain View Capital Improvements Financing Authority, although these agencies are legal entities separate from the City. These two agencies are considered component units of the City and are blended in the reporting entity.
However, this does not mean the City assumes the obligations or liabilities of these entities, and they are budgeted and accounted for separately from the City.
No other agencies or activities associated with the City, or utilizing a name similar to the City, meet the established criteria for inclusion in the reporting entity and, accordingly, are excluded from this report.

In accordance with the City Charter, the City Council is required to adopt an annual budget by July 1 of each fiscal year for the ensuing year, which begins on that date. The adopted budget establishes the legal level of budgetary control at the fund and department level, meaning that total appropriations for each fund and department may not be exceeded without City Council authorization.
Transfers and adjustments between departments or funds require City Council approval. In addition, pursuant to the City Charter, any amendment to the adopted budget be approved by at least five votes of the seven-member City Council.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The City is centrally located in Silicon Valley and is serviced by several major freeways (U.S. 101, Interstate 280, State Route 85, and State Route 237) connecting the City to three international airports, shipping, and rail lines in the Bay Area. Mountain View is also a regional transportation hub and has transit stops for the Caltrain commuter train and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) light rail system.
Despite the strong revenue growth realized in FY 2024–25 compared to the prior fiscal year, this performance is considered an exception, and revenue growth is expected to moderate in subsequent years. Overall, total General Fund revenue increased from $221.1 million in FY 2023–24 to $236.9 million in FY 2024–25, an increase of $15.8 million, or 7.1%. The General Fund’s above-trend growth was primarily driven by higher-than-expected property taxes, the use of money and property (including investment and rental income), and other taxes, such as transient occupancy taxes and utility users’ taxes. Except for these outperforming categories, most General Fund revenues remained relatively stable, and sales tax revenues declined by $3.3 million, or 13.5%, compared to the prior fiscal year. Nearly half of this decline was attributable to the timing and recording of sales tax receipts in the City’s accounting records
The local business community continues to experience lingering effects from the COVID-19 pandemic.
As businesses adapt to hybrid and remote workforce strategies, commercial real estate vacancy rates remain elevated and corporate layoffs persist. According to Colliers, a commercial real estate firm, office vacancy rates in Silicon Valley were estimated at 15.9% between July and September 2025, down slightly from 17.2% a year earlier.
Another indicator of the local economy’s health is the unemployment rate. The unemployment rate in Mountain View in August 2025 was estimated to be 4.1% compared to the prior-year rate of 3.5% for the same month, reflecting a softening in employment in the local region. Unemployment rates in the area are expected to continue rising as corporate layoffs persist. ix

Despite various financial challenges that have arisen in the past, the City has a history of maintaining prudent fiscal practices and budget discipline that has enabled the City to consistently maintain its AAA credit rating. The rating reflects the City’s sizable property tax base, substantial revenue generated annually from numerous commercial and residential leases in which the City is the lessor, and a positive financial position supported by strong reserve levels and a very modest debt burden.
The economic vitality of the City relies upon a strong and diversified business community that is flexible enough to withstand economic challenges. As part of the City’s economic development efforts, the City works to attract and retain companies with growth potential, making the City a desirable location for the corporate community. As a result, Mountain View continues to be recognized as a prime location in Silicon Valley, where it is both desirable to live and work. Mountain View’s innovation economy is home to major technology companies, including Google, Intuit, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Samsung, Siemens Medical Solutions, and Waymo. Mountain View has also quickly become a hub for autonomous vehicle and drone delivery services. Downtown Mountain View is a key location for businesses, particularly start-up companies, due to its diverse range of retailers, restaurants, and convenient access to public transportation.
The City is also committed to preserving its existing services and programs while investing in the future through prudent budgeting and infrastructure development. During the past decade, the City has experienced a strong economy, which, together with sound fiscal planning, has enabled the City to increase resources where needed and pay down pension liabilities, as well as fully fund its other postemployment benefit obligations. It has also enabled the maintenance of adequate reserves during economic downturns.

Property Tax
Property tax accounts for 37.9% of total General Fund revenues and is a key indicator of the City’s economic outlook. For reference, property tax revenue accounted for 36.7% of total General Fund revenues in Fiscal Year 2023-24, continuing a trend in which property taxes have become a larger portion of total General Fund revenues. Property tax revenue in the General Fund totaled $89.8 million in Fiscal Year 2024-25 compared to $81.1 million in Fiscal Year 2023-24, an increase of $8.7 million, or 10.7%. Although property tax revenue has experienced significant growth over the past five years, future growth is expected to be modest.

Even with median sales prices hovering above $2.5 million and the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate having peaked at nearly 8% in October 2023 before settling to just above 6% currently, the number of home sales in the local housing market has remained steady. There were 259 single-family home sales in Fiscal Year 2024-25, compared to 261 in Fiscal Year 2023-24, a nominal decrease.

Use of Money and Property
Use of money and property, which consists primarily of lease revenue and investment earnings, is an important source of General Fund revenue, accounting for 23.2% of total General Fund revenues. For reference, this category accounted for 23.3% of total General Fund revenues in Fiscal Year 2023-24, reflecting a stable trend. In Fiscal Year 2024-25, this revenue source generated $55.0 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 7.0%, compared to Fiscal Year 2023-24. This revenue source is projected to continue growing in Fiscal Year 2025-26 as the City’s investment portfolio benefits from higher interest rates and annual increases in lease agreements take effect.

Sales Tax
Sales tax is another important General Fund revenue source, accounting for 8.9% of total General Fund revenues. For comparison, sales tax represented 11.1% of total General Fund revenues in Fiscal Year 2023-24, reflecting a declining trend. Sales tax revenue totaled $21.2 million in Fiscal Year 2024- 25, compared to $24.5 million in Fiscal Year 2023-24, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 13.5%. Nearly half of this decline was attributable to the timing and recording of sales tax receipts in the City’s accounting records. Sales tax revenue is projected to increase slightly for Fiscal Year 2025-26, reflecting the anticipated opening of new sales tax-generating businesses during the fiscal year.

LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
The City annually prepares a five-year forecast for its General Operating Fund and periodically develops a Long-Range Financial Forecast to project revenue and expenditure trends for the next 10 years. As part of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget, a Five-Year Financial Forecast (Forecast) was developed for Fiscal Years 2025-26 through 2029-30. Even with fluctuating economic variables, a financial forecast helps identify long-term financial trends, potential fiscal imbalances, emerging challenges, opportunities, and future requirements – information that supports the City’s ongoing commitment to fiscal sustainability. While accurately forecasting revenues is challenging due to the variable nature of the City’s revenue sources and their sensitivity to regional, state, national, and global economic conditions, it is possible to identify reasonable financial trends and develop a conceptual financial outlook to support informed decision-making. The Forecast provides a valuable tool to guide the City as it continues to balance expenditures with available revenues.
The General Fund Forecast projects a nominal positive ending operating balance of approximately $0.7 million for Fiscal Year 2025-26. However, modest operating deficits are projected in the subsequent fiscal years. Should these deficits materialize, maintaining adequate operating and emergency reserves will be critical to helping the City navigate the period and withstand potential future economic downturns.
In summary, local economic indicators suggest a flattening of revenues, with slower growth anticipated in Fiscal Year 2025-26, following several years of strong performance. Ongoing uncertainty related to inflation, interest rates, national and state economic policies, and geopolitical conditions contributes to this more cautious outlook. In contrast, expenditures are expected to grow at a faster pace than revenues for the foreseeable future, driven largely by rising operational costs. ($4.0)

RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City Council has established a financial and budgetary policy framework which is reviewed and updated as necessary by the City Council. A comprehensive and consistent set of financial and budgetary policies provides a basis for sound financial planning, identifies appropriate directions for service-level developments, aids budgetary decision-making, and serves as an overall framework to guide financial management and operations of the City.
The City’s adoption of financial policies also promotes public confidence and increases the City’s credibility in the eyes of bond-rating agencies and potential investors. Such policies also provide the resources to react to potential financial emergencies in a prudent manner.
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, which became effective in Fiscal Year 1979-80, and which was modified (by Proposition 111) in November 1989, establishes, by formula, an appropriation limit for governmental agencies. Using the appropriations of Fiscal Year 1978-79 as the base year, the limit is adjusted for the growth in inflation and population during each subsequent fiscal year. Inflation is measured as the year-over-year growth in per-capita personal income, while population growth is based on a weighted growth measure that blends growth in the civilian population with growth in K-12 and community college average daily attendance.
Article XIIIB also sets the guidelines as to what is to be included in the appropriation limits.
The City’s appropriation limit for Fiscal Year 2024-25 was $378,697,009; the City’s actual appropriations, subject to the limit, were $138,771,739, which is far below the limit. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 appropriation limit increased from $356,727,282 in Fiscal Year 2023-24 due primarily to the increase of 3.62% in California’s per-capita personal income over the prior year, one of the factors used in calculating the change in the appropriation limit. $0

AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This was the 35th consecutive year the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City had to publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR that satisfied both GAAP and applicable legal requirements. The GFOA award is valid for a one-year period only. I believe our current ACFR continues to meet the program’s requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
In addition, the City also received the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the City’s annual budget document for Fiscal Year 2024-25. In order to qualify for this Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the government’s budget document had to be judged proficient as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communication device.
Special recognition is extended to Arn Andrews, Assistant City Manager; Derek Rampone, Finance and Administrative Services Director; Grace Zheng, Assistant Finance and Administrative Services Director; and the entire staff of the Finance and Administrative Services Department for their dedication to all City departments, residents, and customers on a daily basis. The preparation of this report could not have been achieved without the skillful, dedicated, and efficient services of the entire staff of the Finance and Administrative Services Department. In particular, Helen He, Accounting Manager; Janet Shum, Senior Accountant; and Marichi Valle, Accountant, were instrumental in preparing the ACFR accurately and in a timely manner. Every member of the department deserves recognition and thanks for their commitment to the City and their profession.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Mountain View
Mountain View, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Mountain View (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund, Shoreline Regional Park Community Fund, and the Housing Fund, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Mountain View
Mountain View, California
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS 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, 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.
2 To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Mountain View
Mountain View, California
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, and the required pension and OPEB information schedules, 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.
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 individual and combining fund financial statements and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The individual and combining fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the 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 individual and combining fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information annual financial report. The other information comprises the introductory section, statistical section, and component unit financial statements section but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. 3 To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Mountain View
Mountain View, California
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 9, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) (Unaudited) For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
This section of the City of Mountain View’s (City) Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) presents a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. We encourage readers to review this information in conjunction with the Letter of Transmittal and the Basic Financial Statements. It is important to recognize that the financial statements reflect past results, whereas the City’s operating budget focuses on future goals and the allocation of resources.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Key financial highlights for the fiscal year are outlined below. Details can be found in the Government-Wide Financial Analysis and the Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds sections of this MD&A.
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 by $1.7 billion (net position). Of this amount, $248.6 million represents unrestricted net position, which may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations.
• Total net position increased by $96.7 million, compared to an increase of $98.8 million in the prior fiscal year - a decrease of 2.2%. Of this year’s increase, $79.2 million was attributable to governmental activities and $17.5 million to business-type activities. The beginning net position was restated downward by $5.1 million due to the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 101. Citywide revenues increased by $22.7 million, while expenses increased by $19.8 million.
• Total outstanding long-term debt increased by $7.2 million in the current fiscal year. The increase was driven primarily by a $5.5 million increase in compensated absences associated with the implementation of GASB 101 and a $4.6 million increase in Subscription-based Information Technology Arrangement (SBITA) liabilities related to new Axon camera storage and Arctic Wolf security software agreements. These increases were partially offset by scheduled debt service payments.
• Net pension liabilities decreased by $14.6 million, compared to an increase of $12.9 million in the prior fiscal year. This reduction was primarily driven by strong investment returns during the reporting period and contributions that exceeded the plans’ annual costs and expenses. Net other post-employment benefit (OPEB) liabilities decreased by $1.9 million during the fiscal year. This decrease was driven by positive investment earnings and contributions to the plan that exceeded the plan’s annual costs and expenses.
5 • Governmental funds reported total fund balances of $1.1 billion, an increase of $60.9 million, or 5.9% from the prior fiscal year. The increase was driven primarily by the General Fund ($27.2 million) and the Shoreline Regional Park Community (SRPC) Fund ($20.3 million), where revenues exceeded expenditures during the fiscal year.
• The General Fund ended the fiscal year with a total fund balance of $265.8 million, an increase of $27.2 million, or 11.4% from the prior fiscal year. Of this amount, $162.1 million, or 61.0%, is unassigned and available to support the City’s current and future needs. The unassigned fund balance is designated for future one-time expenditures, payments toward unfunded liabilities, and emergency reserves, and represents 78.8% of total General Fund expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 – up from 70.6% in the prior fiscal year.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This Discussion and Analysis is intended to provide an overview of the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements include three key components:
(1) government-wide financial statements; (2) fund financial statements; and (3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also includes required supplementary information and other supplementary schedules that provide additional context and detail beyond the basic financial statements .
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the City’s finances, presented in a manner similar to that of a private- sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between them reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the overall financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for certain items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods, such as revenues related to uncollected taxes and expenses pertaining to earned, but unused, vacation and sick leave.
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish between the functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) and other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). Governmental activities include general government, public safety, public works, community development, and culture and recreation 6 services. Business-type activities consist of the City’s water, wastewater, and solid waste enterprise operations (enterprise funds).
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government) but also two legally separate entities for which the City is financially accountable:
(1) Mountain View Shoreline Regional Park Community (Shoreline Community or SRPC); and (2) City of Mountain View Capital Improvements Financing Authority (Financing Authority).
Although legally separate from the City, these component units are blended with the primary government because they have the same governing board as the City and because of their financial relationship with the City. In addition, separate financial statements for the Shoreline Community component unit are included within the City’s ACFR.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements are designed to report information about groupings of related accounts, which are used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other State and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into the following three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near- term inflows and outflows of spendable resources as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in determining what financial resources are available in the near future to finance the City’s programs.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds Balance Sheet and the governmental funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their type (special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds). Information is presented separately in the governmental funds Balance Sheet and in the governmental funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund, Shoreline Regional Park Community Fund, Housing Fund, General Capital Projects Fund, and Park Land Dedication Capital Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data 7 for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for most of its funds, with the exception of the General Capital Projects Fund, which is budgeted on a project basis. Budgetary comparison statements and schedules are provided for these funds to demonstrate compliance with the adopted and amended budgets.
Proprietary funds are used to account for activities in which the City charges fees to customers - whether external users or internal departments - for the services provided. These funds present financial information similar to that found in the government-wide financial statements, but in greater detail. The City maintains two types of proprietary funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water, wastewater, and solid waste operations, all of which are considered to be major funds of the City.
Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its equipment maintenance and replacement, Retirees’ Health Plan, Employee Benefits Plan, and various other self-insurance liability programs. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary funds financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
Fiduciary funds are used to account for fiduciary activities and resources held for the benefit of individuals, organizations, or other governments that are not part of the City. These are comprised of custodial funds, which are not required to be reported in pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds, investment trust funds, or private-purpose trust funds and include custodial balances and activities of the City’s labor unions and Center for Performing Arts. Since the resources of these funds are not available to support the City’s own programs, they are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information essential to a comprehensive understanding of the data presented in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
8 Other
Required Supplementary Information includes schedules required to be presented showing information related to the City’s pension plans and other post-employment benefits plan.
Other Supplementary Information includes the combining statements and schedules of the nonmajor governmental funds, internal service funds, and custodial funds.

(Dollars in Thousands)
TotalGovernmental Activities Business-Type Activities
Approximately 42.3% of the City’s net position, or $724.3 million, reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, other improvements, etc.) less any related outstanding debt used to acquire or construct those assets. These capital assets are used to provide services to the community and are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment is reported 9 net of related debt, the resources required to repay that debt must come from other funding sources, as the capital assets themselves cannot be liquidated to satisfy these obligations.
The largest portion of the City’s net position, 43.2% or $739.1 million, consists of resources that are subject to external restrictions. Restricted net position is limited in use for specific purposes, including capital projects, debt service, Low-and -moderate-income housing programs, and street and road improvements.
The remaining 14.5% of the City’s net position, or $248.6 million, represents unrestricted net position, which may be used to meet the City’s ongoing operational and financial obligations.
The City’s total assets increased by $62.9 million compared to the prior fiscal year. This increase includes a $42.3 million increase in capital assets and a $20.6 million increase in current and other assets. This growth is primarily attributable to a $45.1 million increase in cash and investments and a $3.1 million increase in loans receivable, partially offset by a $27.7 million decrease in leases receivable.
The City’s total liabilities decreased by $37.4 million from the prior fiscal year. Current liabilities declined by $26.6 million, largely due to the reclassification of a portion of unearned revenues to deferred inflow of resources related to leases. Non-current liabilities decreased by $10.8 million, driven primarily by a $14.6 million reduction in the net pension liability. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $5.5 million in Compensated Absences, largely attributed to the implementation of GASB 101.

Governmental Activities Business-Type Activities
11 Governmental Activities
Program revenues, such as charges for services, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions, are generated by, or restricted for use in, the related activities. General revenues consist primarily of taxes and other revenues that are not specifically tied to individual activities. All tax revenues and investment earnings are classified as general revenues.
The following charts provide a graphical comparison of governmental revenues by source for Fiscal Years 2024-25 and 2023-24:
Total Governmental Revenues increased to $382.1 million, a $15.7 million increase compared to the prior fiscal year.
Revenue Highlights:
• Charges for services ($70.3 million), property taxes ($164.3 million), and investment income ($71.0 million) were the three largest revenue sources for governmental activities.
Combined, these totaled $305.6 million, or 80.0% of total revenues.
• Property taxes increased by $10.7 million over the prior fiscal year, reflecting continued strong growth in assessed values across both residential and commercial real estate.

12 • Investment income increased by $13.4 million, primarily due to unrealized gains and higher interest earnings resulting from sustained elevated interest rates during the fiscal year.
• Capital grants and contributions decreased by $8.8 million, primarily because several significant one-time grants were received in Fiscal Year 2023-24. These included a $2.3 million Measure B reimbursement from VTA for the El Camino Real Bike and Pedestrian Improvement Project (CIP 22-29), a $1.7 million Santa Clara County grant for the Magical Bridge Playground Project (CIP 18-36), and a $2.3 million CDBG grant for the Crestview Hotel project. Comparable levels of grant funding were not received in the current fiscal year.
The following charts provide a graphical comparison of the City’s governmental expenses by function for Fiscal Years 2024-25 and 2023-24. Please note that these expenses do not include capital outlays, as such amounts are capitalized and added to the City’s capital assets rather than reported as current period expenses.
Expense Highlights
Total expenses increased to $295.8 million in the current fiscal year, an increase of $16.1 million, or 5.7%, compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase is driven primarily by higher salaries and benefits, including pension and OPEB expenses, resulting from adjustments required under General

13 GASB Statement No. 68 and No. 75. Salaries and benefit costs also rose due to an increase in Council-approved authorized positions, cost-of-living adjustments, and higher benefit costs.
Business-Type Activities
Business-type activities increased the City’s net position by $17.5 million compared to an increase of $13.6 million from the prior fiscal year. The significant key factors are as follows:
• Water net position increased by $6.9 million, primarily due to net operating income of $4.1 million and investment income of $2.3 million.
• Wastewater net position increased by $9.5 million, primarily due to net operating income of $6.0 million, investment income of $2.3 million, and transfers in of $1.1 million.
• Solid waste net position increased by $1.5 million, primarily due to investment income of $1.1 million.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds—The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to report near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of resources available for spending. This information is particularly useful in assessing the City’s short-term financing needs and fiscal capacity. In particular, unassigned fund balance serves as an important indicator of the resources the City has available for discretionary spending at the end of the fiscal year. The City’s governmental fund types include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and Capital Projects Funds.
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $1.1 billion, an increase of $60.9 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The most significant contributors to this change include increases of:
$27.2 million in the General Fund
$20.3 million in the Shoreline Regional Park Community Fund $6.8 million in the Housing Fund
$9.6 million in the General Capital Project fund
These increases were partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in the Park Land Dedication Capital Project Fund.
Total fund balance includes an unassigned fund balance of $162.1 million, which is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remaining fund balance consists of nonspendable ($6.7 million), restricted ($811.6 million), committed ($113.0 million), and assigned ($4.9 million) amounts, none of which are available for new discretionary spending purposes. 14 During the fiscal year, total governmental fund revenues were $379.5 million, while expenditures were $320.3 million, resulting in revenues exceeding expenditures by $59.2.
The General Fund is used to account for all revenues and expenditures necessary to support the City’s basic governmental activities that are not required to be reported in other funds.
At June 30, 2025, the General Fund’s unassigned fund balance was $162.1 million, an increase of $28.8 million from the prior fiscal year.
As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it is useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. The unassigned fund balance of $162.1 million represents 61.0% of total fund balance and 78.8% of General Fund expenditures of $205.9 Million. Total fund balance represents 129.1% of expenditures for the same period, demonstrating a strong liquidity position.
The fund balance of the City’s General Fund increased by $27.2 million during the current fiscal year. Total General Fund revenues increased to $236.9 million, an increase of $15.8 million over the prior fiscal year. The growth was primarily driven by an $8.6 million increase in property tax revenues and an $8.2 million increase in other taxes, partially offset by a $3.3 million decline in sales tax revenues.
The increase in property tax revenues reflects continued strong growth in assessed values across both secured and unsecured rolls in the residential and commercial real estate markets. The increase in other taxes was largely attributable to a $2.6 million rise in transient occupancy tax (TOT), a $3.4 million increase in utility user tax, and a $2.0 million increase in property conveyance tax. Additionally, the passage of a new property transfer tax tier in the November 2024 election and the reclassification of property conveyance tax from the Conveyance and Construction Tax Special Revenue Fund to the General Fund contributed to the overall increase in General Fund revenues.
Conversely, sales tax revenues declined due to several factors, including adjustments related to the timing and recording of sales tax receipts in the City’s accounting records, the relocation of Synopsys outside the City, multiple retail store closures, and reduced consumer spending— excluding restaurants and hotels, which continued to perform well.
General Fund expenditures increased by $16.9 million compared to the prior fiscal year, driven primarily by an $11.6 million increase in salaries and benefits and a $4.2 million increase in capital outlay. The rise in salaries and benefits reflects positions added in Fiscal Year 2024-25, merit and market salary adjustments, and higher pension contributions.
The increase in capital outlay is primarily related to SBITA assets associated with Axon’s camera data storage software and Arctic Wolf security software. It is important to note that the 15 recognition of capital outlay for a SBITA does not indicate that the full cost is paid upfront.
Instead, the subscription costs are paid over time; however, GASB Statement No. 96 require the City to record the full value of the subscription as both an asset and a liability in the year the agreement is executed.

Fiscal Year 2023-24 General Fund
Expenses by Type
17 The Shoreline Regional Park Community Fund receives property tax revenues generated from properties located within the Shoreline Community. The fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures associated with activities and improvements within the Shoreline Community area.
Revenues totaled $82.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $3.8 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.1 million rise in property tax revenues and a $1.6 million increase in investment earnings, reflecting higher assessed property values and elevated interest earnings and unrealized gains during Fiscal Year 2024-25.
Expenditures were $34.4 million, up from $31.2 million in the prior fiscal year. Of this total, $27.0 million was expended on general government activities – an increase of $1.6 million from the prior fiscal year.
In addition, $33.2 million was transferred out to support capital improvement projects and debt service payments, which is consistent with the $33.7 million transferred in the prior fiscal year.
The fund balance at June 30, 2025, was $129.4 million, and remains restricted for expenditures benefiting the Shoreline Community.
The Housing Fund accounts for fees paid by developers to provide for increasing and improving the supply of extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income housing (affordable housing).
Revenues were $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.9 million from the prior fiscal year. The fund balance of $192.8 million is restricted for future affordable housing projects.
The General Capital Projects Fund accounts for all general capital improvement activities.
Revenues were $22.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.5 million from the prior fiscal year. Investment earnings increased by $5.0 million, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in intergovernmental revenue. The decrease in intergovernmental revenue is primarily due to the absence of several one-time grants received in the prior fiscal year, including a $1.7 million grant from Santa Clara County for the Magical Bridge Playground project and $2.3 million in Silicon Valley Transportation Measure B grant funding.
Expenditures totaled $54.9 million, consistent with the prior fiscal year. These expenditures were used to support capital outlay projects, including:
Water and Sewer Main Replacement 101 at Two Locations (CIP 20-41) Fire Station 5 Classroom/Training Construction (CIP 20-35) Stevens Creek Trail Bridge Over Central Expressway and Evelyn Avenue - Deck Replacement and Painting (CIP 22-35)
18 The fund balance at June 30, 2025, was $328.5 million, and is available to fund approved capital projects.
The Park Land Dedication Capital Projects Fund accounts for revenues derived from fees on residential subdivisions, which are restricted for use on park and recreation projects.
Revenues were $3.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.5 million from the prior fiscal year. No expenditures were incurred in the prior year. In the current year, expenditures totaled $6.0 million, primarily due to the purchase of the property located at 939 San Rafael Avenue.
The fund balance at June 30, 2025, was $61.7 million, and is available to fund park and recreation projects.
Proprietary Funds—The City’s proprietary funds statements provide information similar to that presented in the government-wide financial statements but with greater detail.
At the end of the fiscal year, the unrestricted net positions for the Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Funds were $67.2 million, $75.2 million, and $17.3 million, respectively. The total increase in net position for the enterprise funds was $17.5 million, which reflects a $17.9 million increase during the fiscal year, partially offset by a $0.4 million restatement of the beginning balance due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 101.
Net operating income increased for both the Water and Wastewater Funds when compared to the prior fiscal year. The Water Fund’s net operating income of $4.1 million, increased by $4.4 million, primarily because the $4.0 million minimum water purchase obligation payment was made in the prior fiscal year, while no such payment was required in Fiscal Year 2024-25. The Wastewater Fund’s net operating income of $6.0 million increased by $0.7 million over the prior year.
The Solid Waste Fund reported negative net operating income of $0.5 million, a decrease of $1.9 million from the prior fiscal year. This decline was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in charges from the SMaRT (Sunnyvale Materials Recovery and Transfer) Station.
Additional factors affecting the finances of the enterprise funds are discussed earlier in the analysis of the City’s business-type activities.
The City’s internal service funds reported an unrestricted net position of $34.8 million as of June 30, 2025.
19 Fiduciary Funds —The City maintains fiduciary funds to account for fiduciary activities and for assets held by the City in a custodial capacity for the benefit of external agencies or employees.
As of June 30, 2025, the assets of the custodial funds totaled $450,000, a decrease of $220,000 from the prior fiscal year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the reclassification of the Flexible Benefit Plan from a fiduciary fund to the General Fund.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
Differences between the original and final amended Fiscal Year 2024-25 General Fund budget resulted in a $1.6 million increase in budgeted revenues, primarily within Other Revenues, and a $10.4 million increase in expenditure appropriations. Of the expenditure adjustments, $8.2 million reflects prior-year encumbrances that automatically carried forward at the beginning of the fiscal year, as required by the City Charter. An additional $1.8 million in appropriations was established for the payment of compensated absences. The remaining adjustments were made midyear to address operational needs not anticipated at the time of budget adoption, as well as to appropriate grants or reimbursements received during the fiscal year.
General Fund actual revenues are $40.9 million or 20.9% higher than the final amended budget for the fiscal year. The positive variance is primarily attributable to the following revenues exceeding expectations:
• Investment and lease interest income—$21.8 million higher (primarily due to noncash mark-to-market accounting adjustments for unrealized portfolio gains).
• Property tax revenues—$10.2 million higher (driven largely by $9.5 million in Excess Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund property tax, which is not a guaranteed revenue source and remains subject to legislative changes).
• Other taxes—$4.5 million higher (resulting from unbudgeted property transfer tax revenue of $2.0 million and higher-than-expected utility user tax and transient occupancy tax revenues of $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively).
• Charges for services —$2.5 million higher (primarily due to higher-than-expected administrative cost recovery related to capital projects of $2.0 million)
Also contributing to the large variance is the City’s practice of analyzing and projecting revenues throughout the fiscal year, but only adjusting the budgets of the City’s largest revenue sources when needed. In addition, the City generally does not budget for uncertain or one-time revenues, such as Excess Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF) and various reimbursements, nor does it adjust the budget after such revenues are received. These practices can result in budgeted amounts that are significantly lower than actual revenues.
Actual General Fund expenditures were $27.8 million lower than the final amended budget for the fiscal year. This variance is primarily attributable to continued salary and benefit savings 20 resulting from vacant positions, as well as budgeted amounts for limited-period funding, one- time programs, and nondepartmental costs that were included in the final amended budget but were not fully expended during the fiscal year. As the City continues to accelerate recruitment for newly authorized and recently vacated positions, actual salary and benefit expenditures are expected to more closely align with budgeted levels. Since vacancy savings are not formally budgeted, but instead assumed as part of normal operations, these savings also contribute to the variance from budget.
As a result of higher-than-expected revenues and expenditure appropriations that were not fully expended, the General Fund realized a positive budget-to-actual variance.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The City’s capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities totaled $755.5 million (net of accumulated depreciation and amortization) as of June 30, 2025. Capital assets include land, construction in progress, buildings, improvements other than buildings, machinery and equipment, lease assets, subscription-based IT arrangement (SBITA) assets, and infrastructure.
The total net increase in capital assets for the fiscal year was $42.3 million, or 5.9%.
The change in capital assets, net of depreciation, for governmental and business-type activities are summarized as follows:
2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024

(Dollars in Thousands)
Total
21 Major capital asset activities during the fiscal year included the following:
• Total capital assets increased by $42.3 million, resulting from $80.0 million in capital asset additions, offset by a $37.7 million increase in accumulated depreciation and amortization.
• Construction in progress increased by $40.6 million. Significant projects worked on and/or completed during the year included:
Water and Sewer Main Replacement 101 at Two Locations (CIP 20-41) Fire Station 5 Classroom/Training Construction (CIP 20-35) All Inclusive Playground (CIP 18-36)
Rengstorff Park Maintenance and Tennis Buildings Replacement Design & Construction (CIP 21-48)
Additional information about the City’s capital assets is provided in Note 6 to the financial statements.
Debt Administration
As of June 30, 2025, the City had $171.6 million of outstanding noncurrent liabilities related to governmental activities and $11.6 million related to business-type activities, totaling $183.2 million. Noncurrent liabilities outstanding as of June 30, 2025, with a comparison to the prior year and the net change, are as follows:
2025 2024 Net Change
Revenue bonds $ 85,497 $ 87,574 $ (2,077) Compensated absences 16,896 11,911 4,985 Landfill containment 47,881 47,963 (82) Claims liabilities 13,035 11,794 1,241 Lease liabilities 3,367 3,946 (579) SBITA liabilties 4,948 395 4,553 Total governmental activities debt 171,624 163,583 8,041 Business-type activities 11,610 12,499 (889) Total $ 183,234 $ 176,082 $ 7,152 Debt Outstanding
(Dollars in Thousands)
The increase in noncurrent liabilities was primarily driven by higher SBITA liabilities resulting from two new software agreements entered into during the fiscal year, an increase in compensated 22 absences due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 101, and higher claims liabilities.
These increases were partially offset by scheduled debt service payments.
The City Charter limits bonded indebtedness for General Obligation bonds to 15.0% of the total assessed valuation of all real and personal property within the City. The City has no general obligation debt outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and has maintained its underlying “AAA” issuer credit rating from Standard & Poor’s since July 2014.
Business-type activities debt consists of water revenue bonds, a reclaimed water loan with the City of Palo Alto, and a wastewater direct financing agreement.
Additional information regarding the City’s noncurrent liabilities can be found in Note 7 to the financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET AND RATES
All of the factors discussed below were considered in preparing the City’s budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
• The local economy is beginning to show signs of slowing. While the City’s major revenues have generally remained stable and, in some cases, benefited from inflationary trends and higher interest rates, these factors are not expected to continue at the same pace. As a result, future growth in the City’s major revenue sources is anticipated to be modest, with some areas experiencing minimal increases or potential softening in the near future. Ongoing uncertainty related to inflation, interest rates, national and state economic policies, and geopolitical conditions contributes to this more cautious outlook and slower projected growth.
• The County Assessor has cautioned that the 2025 assessment roll may show declines in commercial property values. In Mountain View, 11 commercial properties sold in 2024 for less than their prior purchase prices, with declines ranging from $80,000 to $80.3 million.
Assessment appeals are projected to reduce General Operating Fund revenue by $2.3 million. Slower home sales, sustained high home prices, and commercial valuation corrections are reflected in the FY 2025–26 Adopted Budget. Overall, property tax revenues are expected to increase 4.8 percent, a notably slower rate than in recent years.
• Sales tax revenue is projected to increase slightly for Fiscal Year 2025-26, reflecting the anticipated opening of new sales tax-generating businesses during the fiscal year. Forecast years beyond Fiscal Year 2025-26 anticipate a return to normal growth, with annual increases of approximately 3%.
• Business license revenue is projected to decline 4.5% due to known and potential layoffs.
Utility Users Tax (UUT) revenue is projected to be 8.1% higher than the current fiscal year when excluding the $1.1 million in prior year revenue recognized in Fiscal Year 2024-25, 23 primarily due to higher energy-related collections. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue is expected to increase slightly relative to the current fiscal year, excluding the late payments received in the prior fiscal year.
• Cost-of-service studies were completed for all three utility funds during Fiscal Year 2023-
24. As a result, utility rates were adjusted to reflect the true cost of providing services rather than applying across-the-board rate increases. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 adopted rates for the Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Management Funds vary due to multi- year implementation of rate structure adjustments, with impacts differing by account type and billed usage. Effective July 1, 2025, the adopted rates reflect total revenue increases of 5% for the Water Fund, 6% for the Wastewater Fund, and 3% for the Solid Waste Fund.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Mountain View (City) was incorporated in 1902 and is a charter city, having had its charter granted by the State of California in 1952. The City operates under the Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services: public safety (police, fire, and paramedic), public works, utilities (water, wastewater, and solid waste), community development, cultural and recreation services and administration and support services.
A. Reporting Entity
The accompanying basic financial statements present the financial activities of the City, which is the primary government presented, along with the financial activities of its component units, which are entities for which the City is financially accountable. Although they are separate legal entities, blended component units are in substance part of the City's operations and are reported as an integral part of the City's financial statements. The City's component units, which are described below, are all blended.
The Mountain View Shoreline Regional Park Community (Shoreline Community) - is a separate government entity created for the purpose of developing approximately 1,550 acres of bayfront lands. The Shoreline Community’s governing board is the same as the City and the City’s management has operational responsibility for the Shoreline Community. Its financial activities have been blended in the accompanying financial statements in the Shoreline Regional Park Community Special Revenue Fund and the nonmajor debt service funds. Separate financial statements for the Shoreline Community are also included as a component of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
The City of Mountain View Capital Improvements Financing Authority (Financing Authority) - is a separate government entity whose purpose is to assist with the financing or refinancing of certain public capital improvements within the City. The Financing Authority’s governing board is the same as the City, the Financing Authority provides services solely to the City, and a financial benefit/burden relationship exists between the City and the Financing Authority. Its financial activities have been blended in the accompanying financial statements in the nonmajor debt service funds. Separate financial statements for the Financing Authority are not required and therefore, not issued.
B. Basis of Presentation
The City’s basic financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities. These standards require that the financial statements described below be presented.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the primary government (the City and its component units). These statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the City. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
53 City of Mountain View
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) B. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Government-Wide Financial Statements (Continued)
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental activities.
Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that arise from mandatory and voluntary nonexchange transactions with other governments, organizations, or individuals that are restricted for use in a particular program, and (c) grants and contributions of capital assets or resources that are restricted for capital purposes. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category - governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary - are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as contributions and investment income, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
C. Major Funds
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets combined with deferred outflow of resources, liabilities combined with deferred inflow of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses equal to 10.0 percent of their fund-type total and 5.0 percent of the grand total of governmental and enterprise funds.
Major governmental and business-type funds are identified and presented separately in the fund financial statements. All other funds, called nonmajor funds, are combined and reported in a single column, regardless of their fund-type. The General Fund is always a major fund, and the City may select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.
The City reports major governmental funds in the basic financial statements as follows:
General Fund - This 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.
Shoreline Regional Park Community Fund (Special Revenue) - This fund receives property tax revenues on properties within the Shoreline Community. The fund accounts for the revenues and expenditures of the Shoreline Community.
Housing Fund (Special Revenue) - This fund accounts for fees paid by developers to provide for increasing and improving the supply of extremely low, very low, low, and moderate income housing (affordable housing).

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) C. Major Funds (Continued)
General Capital Projects Fund (Capital Projects) - This fund accounts for all capital improvement projects activities.
Park Land Dedication Capital Projects Fund (Capital Projects) - This fund accounts for revenues derived from fees on residential subdivisions used for park and recreation projects.
The City reports all of its enterprise funds as major funds in the accompanying financial statements:
Water Fund – This fund accounts for the revenues and expenses related to the operation, maintenance and capital outlay required to supply, distribute and meter water. The City has agreements with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and the Santa Clara Valley Water District for the supply of wholesale water.
Wastewater Fund – This fund accounts for the revenues and expenses related to the operation, maintenance and capital outlay required to provide wastewater services. The City has an agreement with the City of Palo Alto to purchase treatment capacity at the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant (Treatment Plant).
Solid Waste Fund – This fund accounts for the revenues and expenses related to disposal services, recycling operations, other solid waste operations, capital outlay and certain costs related to maintenance of the closed landfill sites. Collection operations are provided by an outside private contractor. The City has an agreement with the City of Sunnyvale for disposal transfer capacity at the Sunnyvale Materials and Recovery Transfer (SMaRT®) Station.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service funds – These funds account for equipment maintenance and replacement, workers’ compensation insurance, unemployment self-insurance, liability self-insurance, retirees’ health plan, and employee benefits plan, all of which are provided to other funds on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Custodial funds – These funds are fiduciary funds used to report fiduciary activities that are not required to be reported in pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds, investment trust funds, or private purpose trust funds. These include custodial balances and activities of the labor unions and Center for Performing Arts. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the government-wide financial statements, but are presented in separate fiduciary fund financial statements.
D. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide, proprietary fund, and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
55 City of Mountain View
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Basis of Accounting (Continued)
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available.
The City considers all revenues, except sales taxes, reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after fiscal year end. A ninety-day availability period is used for sales taxes in order to include the State of California (State) final distribution of sales taxes revenue for the fiscal year. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt, claims and judgments, landfill containment costs and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured and are due and payable at year end. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds from long-term debt issuance and leases financing are reported as other financing sources.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On the accrual basis, revenues from property taxes are recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenues from grants, entitlements and donations are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, sales taxes, certain intergovernmental revenues, transient occupancy taxes, utility user taxes, earned grant entitlements, special assessments due within the current fiscal year and investment revenue. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received.
Grant revenues are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements are met. Under the terms of grant agreements, the City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost -reimbursement grants, categorical block grants and general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be available to finance program expenditures. The City’s policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.
Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and activities.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated in the preparation of the government- wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the government’s business- type activities 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 or services, 2) operating grants and contributions and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments.
Internally dedicated resources and taxes are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. 56 City of Mountain View
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) D. Basis of Accounting (Continued)
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 City’s enterprise funds and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The City also recognizes as operating revenue the portion of connection fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
E. Inventory
Inventories are valued at cost (first in, first out). Inventories of the General Fund consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. The cost is recorded as expenditures at the time individual inventory items are consumed. Inventories of the Shoreline Golf Links Nonmajor Special Revenue Fund consist of merchandise held for resale to consumers. The cost is recorded as expenditures at the time individual inventory items are sold. Inventories of supplies are reported at cost, whereas inventories held for resale are reported at lower of cost or market.
F. Prepaids
Certain payments to vendors for services applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaids in both the government-wide financial and fund financial statements. The City follows consumption method of recognizing revenue and as such prepaid amounts are expensed during the periods benefited.
G. Property Taxes
The County of Santa Clara (County) assesses properties and it bills, collects, and distributes property taxes to the City. The County remits to the City the entire amount levied and handles all delinquencies, retaining interest and penalties. Secured and unsecured property taxes are levied on July 1 for the fiscal year.
Secured property tax becomes a lien on January 1 and is due in two installments, on November 1 and February 1. It becomes delinquent after December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured property tax bills are distributed in July and are due upon receipt, and become delinquent after August 31. Collection of delinquent accounts is the responsibility of the County, which retains all penalties.
The term “unsecured” refers to taxes on personal property other than real estate, land and buildings and are secured by liens on the property owner. Property tax revenues are recognized by the City in the fiscal year they are levied, provided they become available as defined above.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) H. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences, representing earned but unused vacation, sick leave pay and related costs, are reported in the Statement of Net Position. The City implemented GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences during fiscal year 2024-25. Liabilities for leave are assumed to be accrued using the first in, first out method, meaning the leave that was earned previously is used or paid or settled first. The City has recorded a liability only when it is more likely than not that the leave will be taken or paid for. All compensated absences and related costs are accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. The City uses the vesting method for the calculation of compensated absences.
I. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position and Balance Sheets report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position and Balance Sheets report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
J. Pension and Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) Items For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and net OPEB liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pension and OPEB, pension and OPEB expenses, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s Pension and OPEB plans, and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net positions have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and the California Employer’s Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) Fund Program, respectively. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. CalPERS plan member contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due. Investments are reported at fair value. The governmental activities’ share of net pension liability and net OPEB liability are typically liquidated by the General Fund.
K. Effects of New GASB Pronouncements
The City adopted new accounting standards in order to conform to the following Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements in Fiscal Year 2024-25:
1. In June 2022, the GASB issued Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. The objective of this statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures. Implementation of these requirements has significant impact on the City’s Sick leave balance. The City restated its beginning fund balances in accordance with GASB 100- Accounting Changes and Error Corrections as part of implementing this standard. See disclosure in Note

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) K. Effects of New GASB Pronouncements (Continued)
In December 2024, the GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures. The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about risks related to a government’s vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints. Implementation of these requirements did not have a significant impact on the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
The City is currently analyzing its accounting practices to identify the potential impact on the financial statements for the GASB statements as follows:
1. In April 2025, the GASB issued Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements. The objective of this Statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability. The requirements of this statement are going to be effective for the City’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
2. In September 2025, the GASB issued Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets – The primary objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about certain types of capital assets. This Statement requires certain types of capital assets to be disclosed separately in the capital assets note disclosures required by Statement 34. Lease assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 87, Leases, and intangible right-to-use assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements, should be disclosed separately by major class of underlying asset in the capital as-sets note disclosures. Subscription assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements, also should be separately disclosed. In addition, this Statement requires intangible assets other than those three types to be disclosed separately by major class. The requirements of this statement are going to be effective for the City’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
L. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
A. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City adopts an annual budget before July 1 for the ensuing fiscal year for the General Fund and all Special Revenue Funds except for the Deferred Assessments Fund.
No annual budgets are adopted for the Debt Service Funds. Repayment of the debt is authorized by the adoption of the indenture provisions for the life of the debt.
The Storm Drain Construction and Park Land Dedication Capital Projects Funds are budgeted annually. All other Capital Projects Funds are budgeted on a project basis. Such budgets are based on a project time frame, rather than a fiscal year operating time frame, whereby unused appropriations continue until project completion.
Budget appropriations become effective on each July 1. The City Council may amend the budget during the fiscal year. The legal level of budgetary control has been established at the fund and department level, meaning that total appropriations for each fund and department may not be exceeded without City Council authorization. Appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent they have not been expended or encumbered.
All Governmental Fund Type annual budgets are presented on a basis consistent with the basic financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Budgeted revenue amounts represent the original budget modified by adjustments authorized during the fiscal year. Budgeted expenditure amounts represent original appropriations adjusted for supplemental appropriations during the fiscal year and reappropriated amounts for encumbrances, grants, and donations outstanding at the end of each prior fiscal year.
The City Council must approve appropriation increases to departmental budgets; however, management may transfer Council-approved budgeted amounts within fund and departmental expenditure classifications. Judgments, settlements and certain accrual entries are not subject to budgetary control and expenditures exceeding budget due to these items do not constitute a violation of budget policy or control.
Supplemental appropriations were approved during the course of the fiscal year as needed.
B. Encumbrance Accounting
Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration. Encumbrances outstanding at fiscal year-end are automatically reappropriated for inclusion in the following fiscal year’s budget.

NOTE 3 CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The City pools cash from all sources and all funds, except restricted cash and investments, so the pool of funds can be invested consistent with goals for safety and liquidity, while maximizing yield. Cash is pooled so individual funds can make expenditures at any time.
A. Policies
For custodial credit risk, California law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities with a fair value of 110.0 percent of the City’s cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a fair value of 150.0 percent of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California law, this collateral is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the City’s name and places the City ahead of general creditors of the institution.
The City invests in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual investments are evidenced by specific identifiable securities instruments, or by an electronic entry registering the owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system. In order to increase security, the City employs the trust department of a bank as the custodian of certain City managed investments, regardless of their form.
The City’s investments are carried at fair value. The carrying value of these investments are periodically adjusted to reflect their fair value at each fiscal year end and the effects of these adjustments are included as income or expense for that fiscal year.
Investment income is allocated among funds on the basis of average daily cash and investment balances in each fund, unless there are specific legal or contractual requirements to do otherwise.
Cash and investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents in the proprietary fund statements of cash flows because these assets are highly liquid and are expended to liquidate liabilities arising during the fiscal year.

D. Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements (Continued) The investment types that are authorized for investments held by bond trustee are as follows:
E. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. The City monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the modified duration (modified duration is a measure of a fixed income’s cash flows using present values, weighted for cash flows as a percentage of the investments’ full price) of its portfolio. The City monitors interest rate risk inherent in investments held by the trustee by using specific identification.

F. 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 City’s Investment Policy is to apply the prudent investor’s standard in managing the overall portfolio. The standard states that investments shall not be made for speculation but shall be made with judgment and care, which investors of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise considering the safety of principal, liquidity, and return on investment in this priority order. As of June 30, 2025, the City’s investment in money market mutual funds, and supranational securities are rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s.
U.S. agency securities are rated AA by Standard & Poor’s. The medium-term notes are rated between A and AA by Standard & Poor’s. The U.S. Treasury obligations are exempt from credit rating disclosure. The Municipal Bonds - Shoreline Regional Park Community 2018 Revenue Bonds are rated A+ by Standard & Poor’s. The Local Agency Investment Fund was not rated as of June 30, 2025.
G. Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s Investment Policy regarding the amount that can be invested in any one issuer is stipulated by the California Government Code. However, the City is required to disclose investments that represent a concentration of 5.0 percent or more of investments in any one issuer other than U.S. Treasury obligations, money market mutual funds and external investment pools. As of June 30, 2025, those investments held by the City consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
H. Fair Value Hierarchy
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in an active market for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. As of June 30, 2025, All of the City’s investments are measured using level 2 inputs, except for investments in LAIF and money market mutual funds, which are not subject to the fair value hierarchy. Investments measured using level 2 inputs are valued using prices determined by the use of matrix pricing techniques maintained by the pricing vendors for these investments. Matrix pricing is used to value investments based on the investments’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices.

NOTE 4 LOANS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s loans and notes receivable are as follows (dollars in thousands):
The City engages in programs designed to encourage construction or improvement of housing for persons with extremely low to moderate income or other such projects. Under these programs, grants or loans are provided under favorable terms to homeowners or developers who agree to spend these funds in accordance with the City’s terms. The City does not expect to collect these loans in the near term, and most of the loan terms are deferred to the future. Any proceeds collected are restricted by grant requirements and thus these balances have been offset by a restriction of fund balance in the fund financial statements. Due to the nature of the repayment structures of the City’s housing loans, the City is not accruing interest on these loans. Interest revenue is recognized upon receipt.
These loan programs are funded by Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) funds, Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME) grant funds, Housing Fund, General Fund, and former Mountain View Revitalization Authority (Authority). With the dissolution of the Authority effective January 31, 2012, the City became the Housing Successor Agency. The balances of the loans were transferred to the Housing Successor Special Revenue Fund (Housing Successor) of the City.

NOTE 6 CAPITAL ASSETS
All capital assets, including intangible assets, are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are valued at their acquisition value. The City defines capital assets as assets with an initial individual cost of more than $100,000 for land and infrastructure, $25,000 for buildings and improvements other than buildings, and $5,000 for others, and an estimated useful life in excess of two years.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, which means the cost of the asset is divided by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each fiscal year until the asset is fully depreciated. The City has assigned the useful lives to capital assets as follows:
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Buildings 25 to 50 years
Improvements other than buildings 5 to 50 years
Machinery and equipment 3 to 20 years
Traffic signals 20 years
Streetlights 50 years
Bridges and culverts 60 years
Sidewalks, curbs, and gutters 40 years
Streets and roads 40 years

Benefits are based on years of credited service, age at retirement and compensation. The cost-of-living adjustments for the CalPERS plans are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), which became effective in January 2013, changes the way CalPERS retirement and health benefits are applied, and places compensation limits on members. As such, members who established CalPERS membership on or after January 1, 2013 are known as “PEPRA” members.
The Plans’ provisions and benefits in effect as of June 30, 2025, are summarized as follows:
Employees Covered – Employees covered by the benefit terms for each Plan as of June 30, 2024, the most recent actuarial valuations information available, are as follows:

NOTE 8 PENSION PLANS (Continued)
A. General Information about the Pension Plans (Continued) Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires the employer contribution rates for all public employers to be determined on an annual basis by the CalPERS actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The actuarially determined rate is the projected amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the purpose of increasing the funded status of the Plans, the City contributed $2.7 million and $1.6 million in excess of the actuarially determined contributions for the Miscellaneous and Safety Plans, respectively, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
B. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuations were determined using actuarial assumptions as follows:
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuation were based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019, including updates to salary increase, mortality and retirement rates. Further details of the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website under Forms and Publications.
Change of Assumptions – There were no assumption changes in measurement period 2024.

B. Net Pension Liability (Continued)
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the 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.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long- term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expense of 10 basis points.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Assumed Asset
Asset Class Allocation Real Return (1, 2)
Global Equity - cap-weighted 30.00% 4.54%
Global Equity - non-cap-weighted 12.00% 3.84%
Private Equity 13.00% 7.28%

NOTE 9 OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
A. General Information about the OPEB Plan
Plan Descriptions – By Council resolution and through agreements with its labor units, the City provides certain health care benefits for retirees (spouse and dependents are not included for CalPERS Miscellaneous employees, but are included for CalPERS Safety employees in the CalPERS Health Program governed by the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEHMCA)) under a single employer defined benefit OPEB plan. In December 2008, the City entered into an agreement with CalPERS to participate in the CERBT, an agent multiple-employer other postemployment benefits plan, to fund the City’s OPEB. CERBT, administrated by CalPERS, is managed by an appointed board not under the control of the City Council.
CERBT issues a publicly available financial report that can be found on the CalPERS website at www.calpers.ca.gov.
The City also offers a Defined Contribution (DC) Plan to eligible miscellaneous employees. If an employee elects to participate in the DC Plan, the City makes contributions on behalf of the employee into a Health Savings Account (HSA). Employees who have elected the DC Plan are not included in the City’s actuarial valuation for OPEB.

A. General Information about the OPEB Plan (Continued)
Contributions – The City’s OPEB funding policy is to contribute 100 percent or more of the actuarially determined contribution each year. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City's contributions totaled $6.7 million, which is approximately $2.5 million above the actuarially determined contributions. This amount includes $2.0 million from the implied subsidy.
B. Net OPEB Liability
The City’s net OPEB liability is measured as the total OPEB liability, less the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position.
The net OPEB liability is measured as of June 30, 2024 using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2024.
Actuarial Assumptions – The total OPEB liability as of June 30, 2025 were determined using actuarial assumptions as follows:
(1) Demographic actuarial assumptions used are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 1997 to 2019, except for using the MacLeod Watts Scale 2022 applied generationally from 2015 as the basis to project future morality improvements.
Change in Assumptions – There were no changes in assumptions during measurement.
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 5.6 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the City's contribution will be made equal to the actuarially determined contribution. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OEPB plan investments is applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB Liability.

Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound geometric returns were calculated over the short-term (1- 5 years) and the long-term (6-20 years) using a building-block approach. The long-term expected real rate of return by asset class and the target allocation are as follows:

To derive the expected future trust return specifically for the City, we first adjusted CalPERS' future return expectations to align with the 2.5% general inflation assumption used in this report.
Then applying the plan specific benefit payments (as determined from the June 30, 2023, valuation) to CalPERS' bifurcated return expectation, we determined the single equivalent long-term rate of return to be 6.2 percent. The District is less optimistic about future expected returns and approved 5.6% as the expected return on assets.

NOTE 10 RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, errors and omissions, injuries to employees or others, and unemployment. The City has established various self-insurance programs to account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss. Under the self-insurance programs, the City retains the risk of loss up to a maximum of $1.0 million for general liability and property claims, $750,000 for workers' compensation claims with statutory excess insurance and actual costs incurred for unemployment.
For general liability claims, the City has excess liability coverage through the Authority for California Cities Excess Liabilities (ACCEL) to cover the risk of loss for claims in excess of $1.0 million per incident. ACCEL is a joint powers authority of medium-sized California municipalities, which pools catastrophic general liability, automobile liability and public officials’ errors and omissions losses. Amounts of settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage in the past three years.
Charges to the General Fund and other insured funds are determined from an analysis of self- insured claims costs and reserve requirements and are recorded as operating expenditures or expenses of such funds and operating revenues of the various internal service funds.
Estimated liabilities are recorded for claims in cases where such amounts are reasonably determinable and where the liability is likely for claims which are incurred through the end of the fiscal year but not reported until after that date. The estimated liability is determined based upon historical claims data discounted at 2.0 percent annually and independently determined estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims.

NOTE 13 NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCES
A. Net Position
Net position is the excess of all assets and deferred outflows of resources over all liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, regardless of fund. Net position is divided into three captions on the Statement of Net Position. These captions apply only to net position, which is determined at the Government-wide level and proprietary funds and are described as follows:
Net investment in capital assets – This caption groups all capital assets, including infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt, including debt related deferred outflows and inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
Restricted – This caption represents net position, which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include developer fees received for use on capital projects, grant funds, funds restricted for debt service, and funds restricted to low and moderate income housing purposes.
Unrestricted – This caption represents net position of the City not restricted for any project or purpose.
B. Fund Balances
Governmental fund balances represent the assets and deferred outflows of resources less the liabilities and deferred inflows of resources of each fund. Governmental funds report fund balance in classifications based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on how specific amounts in the funds can be spent. For programs with multiple funding sources, the City prioritizes and expends funds in the following order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned and Unassigned. Each category in the following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint as follows:
Nonspendable fund balances are amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form; or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, or enabling legislation, which requires the resources to be used only for a specific purpose.
Nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable resources.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by resolution of the City Council, which may only be altered by resolution of the City Council. Nonspendable amounts subject to Council commitments are included along with spendable resources.
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council or its designees and may be changed at the discretion of the City Council or its designees. The City Council has not delegated the authority to make assignments of fund balance. This category also includes residual fund balances of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds, which have not been restricted or committed.
Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed or assigned.
This includes the residual general fund balance and residual fund deficits, if any, of other governmental funds.

C. City of Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant The City of Mountain View conveys all of its wastewater for treatment to the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant (Treatment Plant) owned and administered by the City of Palo Alto. The Treatment Plant is governed by a Partners Agreement between the City of Palo Alto, the City of Mountain View, and the City of Los Altos. As part of the Agreement, the City purchases treatment capacity at the Treatment Plant. The Agreement provides that the City will purchase capacity through December 31, 2060, and for the City of Palo Alto to set service charges annually with quarterly billings based on estimated use. A reconciliation of actual to estimated charges is completed annually. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, these costs totaled $16.4 million, which is included as a component of cost of sales and services expenses in the Wastewater Enterprise Fund.
The Agreement has been amended from time to time. Recent addenda include provisions for large capital improvement projects at the treatment plant and a portion of the Joint Interceptor System for which debt was issued by the City of Palo Alto and the Partners agreed to pay their share of debt based on capacity rights. Each Partner’s share of debt is included in the annual budget provided by the City of Palo Alto and is billed through the quarterly billings. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City’s share of debt services totaled to $624,000.
On May 19, 2025, the City executed an amendment with the City of Palo Alto for the Advanced Water Purification System (AWPS) Construction project. The total project cost is approximately $60.0 million, with the City agreeing to contribute $22.0 million as a cash payment to help reduce the debt. Of this, $17.0 million will be paid in Fiscal Year 2025-26, and the remaining $5.0 million is anticipated to be paid in Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Palo Alto has applied for a State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan and plans to use between $10.5 million to $12.9 million, depending on the status of a separate U.S. Bureau of Reclamation grant fund for the project, with an interest rate of 1.7%. Loan payments are expected to begin after the project is completed, around Fiscal Year 2027-28, and the debt payments will be included in the City of Palo Alto's quarterly billings.

The purpose of the Education Enhancement JPA is to create an Education Enhancement Reserve in which funds provided by the Shoreline Community are used to enhance the educational and technology capacity of students in the districts, which will contribute to the availability of a local technology workforce to further the objectives of the Shoreline Community. The agreement provides for minimum annual payments, which commenced with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, and have increased annually based on growth in property tax revenues in the preceding fiscal year. Each subsequent fiscal year increases based on growth in property tax revenues in the preceding fiscal year. The Agreement expired in June 2023. In May 2023, the Shoreline Community and the school districts extended the Agreement until June 30, 2024. An amendment to the 2023 EER Agreement, dated June 13, 2024, for a three-year extension was finalized in October 2024. In May 2025, a new EER Agreement was executed by all parties to supersede any prior agreements and will remain effective through June 30, 2035.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Shoreline Community paid a total of $12.0 million in contributions to the school districts, including $7.3 million to MVWSD and $4.7 million to MVLAUHSD.
F. Tax Revenue Sharing
Pursuant to an agreement between the City, the Shoreline Community, and the County dated June 22, 2005, the Shoreline Community is annually obligated to pay the County from tax revenues, an amount equal to the County’s total retirement tax override levies and pass-through an additional amount of taxes that would have been allocated to the County in the absence of the existence of the Shoreline Community. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, $2.8 million and $3.5 million in retirement tax override levies and pass-through payments, respectively, were paid to the County.
G. Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency Revenue Bonds Surcharge The City contracts with the City and County of San Francisco for the purchase of water from the Hetch Hetchy System operated by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). The City is also a member of the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA), which represents the interests of all the 24 cities and water districts, as well as two private utilities, that purchase wholesale water from the SFPUC.
Under the 2009 25-year agreement with the SFPUC, a minimum water delivery level is included. On June 21, 2017, the City entered an agreement to permanently transfer all rights, title and interest of 1.0 MGD of annual Individual Supply Guarantee to the City of East Palo Alto (EPA). After SFPUC approved the agreement, the City received a one-time payment of $5.0 million in Fiscal Year 2017-18 from EPA for the 1.0 MGD water rights. During the Fiscal year 2024-25 the SFPUC and a supermajority of the BAWSCA member agencies ratified the minimum purchase requirements and as a result of this ratification the City is no longer required to make minimum water purchase.

G. Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency Revenue Bonds Surcharge (Continued) In addition, under the agreement, the SFPUC issues revenue bonds and the debt service (which also includes an interest component) is paid for through rates over the life of the bonds. Prior assets under the previous agreement were transferred to the new agreement and assigned a life with an agreed upon rate of return of 5.13 percent.
BAWSCA issued Revenue Bonds (Bonds) in the principal amount of $335.8 million in January 2013 to prepay the capital cost recovery payment obligation and fund a stabilization fund. The Bonds mature in October 2034 and are secured by surcharges to the monthly water purchase charges imposed upon the participating members. The Bonds are not a debt obligation of any member, and BAWSCA’s failure to pay its Bonds would not constitute a default by any participating member.
The City paid its surcharge of $1.2 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, which is included as a component of cost of sales and services expenses in the Water Enterprise Fund. The surcharge for Fiscal Year 2025-26 is estimated to be $1.4 million.

In 1992, as a way of solving its own budget shortfalls, the State enacted legislation that shifted partial financial responsibility for funding K-14 education to local government. Property tax revenues belonging to cities, counties, and special districts were shifted to the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF).
When the State shifts more local property tax than required, these funds are returned to cities, counties and special districts and are known as excess ERAF.
In November 2021, the County notified cities that the California School Boards Association and its Education Legal Alliance filed a lawsuit against the Controller of the State of California (SCO), disputing the calculation and disbursement of excess ERAF funds. As a result, the County estimates that 20 to 30 percent of ERAF disbursed to all cities over three years is subject to litigation. This case has since been resolved in favor of the SCO.
The City’s primary concern now is the County’s upcoming audit with the SCO, expected to take place in late 2025 or early 2026, following the conclusion of the SCO’s audit of San Francisco. The County has strongly encouraged each agency to reserve a portion of its excess ERAF distributions going back to Fiscal Year 2020-
21. The estimated at-risk percentages, based on the completed SCO audit findings for Marin County, are:
Fiscal Year 2020-21 through 2023-24: 22%
Fiscal Year 2024-25: 20%
Fiscal Year 2025-26: 18%
The City estimates that approximately $9.0 million is at risk as of June 30, 2025. ERAF revenue for Fiscal Year 2025-26 is projected to be $9.8 million, net of the 18% at-risk amount.
The City has currently set aside $2.7 million as a liability for the potential ERAF clawback. Combined with the eligible $9.8 million in ERAF revenue the City is projected to receive for fiscal year 2025-26, the City would have $3.5 million more than the potential clawback amount, assuming the SCO audit does not conclude in the City’s favor.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 15 RESTATEMENTS
A. Restatements due to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences, which requires recognition of a liability as leave is earned and likely to be used or paid. Adoption of this Statement will enhance the relevance and reliability of information about the liability for compensated absences. The implementation represents a change in accounting principle and resulted in a restatement of the opening balance of compensated absences reported in the Statement of Net Position. This change affected the compensated absence line item within Governmental and Business Type Activities as well as Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste and Internal Services funds to reflect previously unrecognized liabilities, and the opening balance net position was restated retrospectively as presented above.
B. Restatements due to Change in Reporting Entity
During the fiscal year 2024-25 the City changed reporting of Flexible Benefits Plan from Custodial Funds to General Fund. As a result, the beginning restricted cash and accounts payable increased by $177,000 respectively in the General Fund and restricted cash and accounts payable by decreased by the same amounts in the Flexible Benefits Plan. There was no overall impact on the Net position of the General Fund. However, this led to a decrease in the beginning net position of the total Custodial Funds which was overstated by $177,000 in the previous year.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of the Mountain View Shoreline Regional Park Community (Shoreline Community), a component unit of the City of Mountain View, California (City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Shoreline Community’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the Shoreline Community, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position thereof and the budgetary comparison for the Shoreline Regional Park Community Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 Shoreline Community 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 The 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.
