REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND

ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Honorable City Council
City of Murrieta
Murrieta, California

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of Am erica and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards) ,

the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Murrieta (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 12, 2024.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of ex pressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpo se of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.

However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.

However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of This Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral par t of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and comp liance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM;
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE; AND REPORT

ON SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE

Independent Auditor’s Report

The Honorable City Council
City of Murrieta
Murrieta, California

Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program

Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

We have audited the City of Murrieta’s (the City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.

In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United Stat es of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.

We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with re levant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.

463

-4-
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance

Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of co ntracts or grant agreements applicable to the City’s federal programs.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee t hat an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards , and the Uniform Guidance will al ways detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, fo rgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance wi th the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards , and the Uniform Guidance, we:

 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material noncomp liance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal cont rol over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance.

Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.

Report on Internal Control over Compliance

A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncomp liance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal contro l over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, du ring our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.

Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance

We have audited the financial statements of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and have issued our report thereon dated December 12, 2024, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our audit was performed for t he purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements as a whole. The accomp anying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the resp onsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting a nd other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) includes the federal awards activity of the City of Murrieta (the City) under federal programs of federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. The information in this SEFA is presented in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the SEFA presents only a selected portion of the operations of the City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or fund balance, or cash flows of the City.

For the purposes of this schedule, federal financial assistance includes both federal financial assistances received directly from a federal agency, as well as federal funds received indirectly by the City from a nonfederal agency or other organization. Only that portion of program expenditures reimbursable with such federal funds are reported in the accompanying schedule.

Program expenditures in excess of the maximum federal reimbursement authorized or the portion of the program expenditures that were funded with state, local or other non-federal funds are excluded from the accompanying schedule.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Expenditures reported on the SEFA are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting.

Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the SEFA, if any, represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years.

3. De Minimis Indirect Cost Rate

The City did not elect to use the 10-percent indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance .

Agenda Item No. 13.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Bob Moehling, Public Works Director
PREPARED BY: Jeff Hitch, City Engineer
SUBJECT:

Citywide Traffic Congestion - Traffic Pilot Program

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to implement a traffic pilot program along Los Alamos Road, between Hospitality Place and Whitewood Road, to determine the effectiveness of implementing manual traffic control within the City’sTraffic Management Center during periods of peak congestion.

PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
None.

CITY COUNCIL GOAL
Plan, program and create infrastructure development.

BACKGROUND
On September 3, 2024, the City Council obtained consensus to discuss traffic congestion and a potential solution for mitigation at a future meeting. On December 3, 2024, City staff presented to the City Council a summary of the City’sexisting traffic signal network, the capabilities of the City’straffic signal control software and closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras from within the City’sTraffic Management Center (TMC), and results from a previous before-and-after study performed as part of the City’sTraffic Light Synchronization Program. After discussion, the City Council requested that staff return to a future meeting with the necessary steps to perform a Traffic Pilot Program, as well as report on the liability of taking over the timing and maintenance of the Caltrans traffic signals within the City’s limits.

Traffic Pilot Program
Staff is proposing the Los Alamos Road corridor between Hospitality Place and Whitewood Road, as a potential roadway to analyze for the Traffic Pilot Program. There are currently 10 traffic signals along this section of the road, with two of the signals operated and maintained by Caltrans at Interstate 215 on and off CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 1/16/2025Page 1 of 3

ramps.

Step 1 - Traffic Counts. Existing traffic counts have recently been obtained for this corridor, and the City is currently working with Caltrans Traffic Operations staff to implement optimized timing along the corridor during peak weekday periods in the morning, at midday, and in the evening. Optimized timing will be implemented by both City and Caltrans staff at the signals along this corridor.

Step 2 - Perform “Before” Travel Time Runs. Prior to initiation of the pilot program, staff will perform “before”travel time runs along the corridor, identifying the travel time, stops, and delays for the corridor during peak periods, to serve as a baseline for the Traffic Pilot Program.

Step 3 - Traffic Observation. Staff or a consultant will observe traffic operations from within the TMC on the following days for a period of two weeks while schools are in session:

Days: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
Hours: 6:00 am to 9:00 am
11:00 am to 1:00 pm
3:00 pm to 6:00 pm
During this observation period, the timing at the intersections will be adjusted as necessary to further optimize the timing, to progress the flow of traffic along the corridor, and to minimize queuing.

The observation of traffic will be completed in the TMC utilizing CCTV cameras to monitor vehicles traveling between intersections. There are two existing CCTV cameras located along the corridor which will not be sufficient to monitor the full corridor. Staff proposes to purchase two additional CCTV cameras to supplement the existing ones. The CCTV cameras would be located at the following intersections of Los Alamos and:

Intersection Location Existing or Proposed?
Hancock Avenue Existing
Whitewood Road Existing
Monroe Avenue Proposed
Lincoln Avenue/Vista Murrieta Road Proposed
Step 4 - Perform “After” Travel Time Runs. After the two-week observation period has ended, travel time runs will again be performed during the same time periods, identifying the travel time, stops, and delays.

The results of the “before”and “after”travel time runs will be summarized, and the results will be brought back to a future City Council meeting for further consideration.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total anticipated cost of the Traffic Pilot Program is $20,000, broken down as listed in the table below. If the City Council authorizes staff to proceed with the program, a request for an appropriation to cover the cost of equipment, installation, and software will be submitted as part of the mid-year budget update. Any additional personnel costs will be covered within the existing personnel budget through salary savings.

Category Cost
Additional staffing for 8 hours per day, 3 days per week, 2 weeks at $200/hour
$9,600
Two additional CCTV Cameras: $4,000 each plus installation cost $10,000 Licensing from CCTV Camera Software $400
Total $20,000

Agenda Item No. 14.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Isaac Bravo, Management Analyst
SUBJECT:

Adoption of the 2025 Legislative Platform

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the 2025 Legislative Platform as presented; and Direct staff to gather and incorporate any further priority items identified by the Council for adoption in a subsequent amendment, ensuring alignment with the City's strategic goals and community needs.

PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
On February 16, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21-4365, approving the 2021 Legislative Platform (Vote: 5-0).

On January 18, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-4516, approving the 2022 Legislative Platform (Vote: 5-0).

On February 21, 2023, the City Council approved the 2023 Legislative Platform (Vote: 5-0).

On March 3, 2024, the City Council approved the 2024 Legislative Platform (Vote: 5-0).

CITY COUNCIL GOAL
Maintain a high performing organization that values fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability and organizational efficiency.

BACKGROUND
The City Manager's Office exercises day-to-day oversight of legislative matters. Annually, the City Council approves a legislative platform to enable City staff to proactively respond to proposed Federal and State legislation that would impact local government. Additionally, the platform is shared with the City's lobbying consultants to ensure the City's interests are represented in Sacramento and Washington, D.C.

Throughout the year, proposed legislation that aligns or differs with the City's platform receives a letter of support or opposition. Legislation of concern that is not covered by the platform is routed to the City Council CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 1/16/2025Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
488
1/21/2025
Agenda Item No. 14.
support or opposition. Legislation of concern that is not covered by the platform is routed to the City Council Legislative Workgroup for consideration and recommendation. Based on the workgroup's recommendation, a letter of support or opposition is drafted for signature by the Mayor. If there is not consensus by the workgroup, the position on the legislation is considered and determined by the full City Council. All letters of support or opposition are published on the City's website and shared with the full City Council via link and with the public using a link in the monthly electronic newsletter, More Murrieta.

This year, the format for the 2025 Legislative Platform has been modified to be more streamlined. Generally, a goal for these types of platforms is to keep the policy objectives broader and not too specific, which makes it easier to use the platform as intended because it captures the Council's over-arching objectives.

Highlights of the more substantive changes to the platform for 2025 are listed below:

Formatting Changes:

1. The City Council District Map is now included;

2. The City Council Goals were expanded to provide context;

3. The Executive Summary was removed since the platform is intended to be concise, and therefore, a summary is unnecessary;

4. The "Priority Projects List," which previously only listed the I-215/Keller Road interchange and the Los Alamos Sports Park, was removed since the City has many more critical projects that are actively being pursued; and

5. The assessments of the State of California and the Federal government were removed, as well as the California legislative calendar. Since the forecasts were estimates beyond an initial outlook for the City Council at the beginning of the year, they do not provide much utility. Additionally, the Legislative Calendar is available on the Secretary of State's website.

Changes to the Platform Content:

The draft 2025 Legislative Platform takes the spirit and intent of the prior legislative platforms and condenses the 14 sections adopted in prior iterations to seven (7) sections. This was achieved by consolidating various sections that overlapped. For example, the Fire and Police sections were combined into Public Safety; the Housing and Zoning sections were combined into Planning, Housing, & Zoning. The draft 2025 platform is consolidated into the following sections: 1) General Governance, 2) Public Safety, 3) Infrastructure and Transportation, 4) Economic Development, 5) Housing, Planning, & Zoning, 6) Revenue and Financial Stability, 7) Social and Environmental Programs, and 8) Federal Priorities.

Brief descriptions were added to the list of six (6) Council Goals to provide more context behind the goals set.

Additionally, many legislative points were consolidated under sections. As an example, previously, six (6) items were individually listed in the 2024 platform related to employee benefits and labor relations; in the 2025 draft, they were consolidated under one category, "1.5 Employees and Labor." A new legislative point," 4.4 Biotech and Medical Industry"," was added to the Economic Development section, recognizing the 'City's efforts to promote biotech and medical innovation through its support of the Murrieta Innovation Center.

Lastly, some legislative points were removed as no longer considered timely, such as language related to CITY OF MURRIETA Printed on 1/16/2025Page 2 of 3

Legislative Platform Introduction
Murrieta is a young and vibrant community, ideally located at the junction of Interstate 15 and 215 freeways. Since its incorporation in 1991, Murrieta has experienced a dramatic increase in population, making it one of the most populous cities in Riverside County. Located near San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange County markets, Murrieta has a rigorous economic development program that has successfully attracted a Costco, two Home Depots, a Trader Joe’s, and the recent reopening of the Murrieta Hot Springs Resort.

With a heavy focus on public safety, Murrieta is consistently recognized as one of the safest cities in the country, thanks to high-performing police and fire departments. Murrieta’s dual freeway exposure allows businesses to enjoy a healthy economic base while providing residents with plentiful services, leading to an exceptional quality of life. In addition, upscale yet affordable housing, paired with a nationally-recognized school district makes Murrieta a highly desirable community to raise families. With a population of almost 120,000, Murrieta boasts an educated, high-income population, comparable to communities in San Diego and Orange counties.

To compete on a local, national, and global stage, the City of Murrieta works diligently to strategically position itself politically through a variety of means. An important component to the future success of the City is working closely with our representatives for the State of California and the U.S. federal government. Each year, the City Council adopts a Legislative Platform to assist in these efforts. 5495

15 Federal Priorities

8.1 Immigration - Call upon the federal government to move beyond partisan rhetoric and demonstrate leadership definitively solving the immigration crisis that has adversely impacted local jurisdictions by implementing a comprehensive, cohesive policy.

It should avoid automatic amnesty, instead promoting education and human advancement as obligations of a civilized society.

It should be grounded in the principles of equality, prosperity, and responsible citizenship as the foundation of the Republic.

Agenda Item No. 15.

BACKGROUND
According to Resolution No. 19-4178, Adopting the Rules of Procedure for City Council Meetings, the City Council will appoint Council Members to various agencies and boards.

The City of Murrieta (City) currently has five (5) active subcommittees to address various topics and issues relevant to the City. Subcommittees are either ad-hoc or standing. Both ad-hoc and standing committees are a subsidiary body of the legislative body.

An ad-hoc committee serves a limited/single purpose, is not perpetual, and dissolves when the specific task is complete. An ad-hoc committee consists solely of less than a quorum of the legislative body and does not have continuing subject matter jurisdiction nor a meeting schedule fixed by formal action; therefore, the requirements of the Brown Act do not apply. A standing committee also consists solely of less than a quorum of the legislative body, which generally serves for purposes of some continuing subject matter jurisdiction or has a meeting schedule fixed by the legislative body; therefore, standing committees are subject to the Brown Act.

The responsibility of each representative goes beyond meeting attendance. According to City Council Policy 100-20, City Council Ad-Hoc Subcommittee and Intergovernmental Agency Reporting, it is the responsibility of those representatives to report on activities and votes/positions taken by such agencies and subcommittees.

The five (5) active City Council Subcommittees are as follows:
