December 12, 2024
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
The City of Murrieta (City) is pleased to present the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2024. The information found in this report is provided by the Murrieta City Manager and Finance Department to the City Council and the public to inform those interested in the City’s fiscal condition.
The City assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report and has established a framework of internal controls for this purpose.
Because the cost of any internal control should not outweigh its benefit, internal controls have been designed to provide reasonable, rather than an absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement.
The independent auditing firm of Rogers, Anderson, Malody, and Scott, LLP has issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the City’s financial statements, indicating they are free from material misstatement and present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the city's various funds and account groups. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to understand the City’s financial activities have been included.
A section titled Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
PROFILE OF THE CITY OF MURRIETA
The City of Murrieta is located in Southwestern Riverside County and encompasses approximately 35.5 square miles.
The City of Murrieta was incorporated on July 1, 1991, after voters approved cityhood by an overwhelming margin in
November 1990. It is organized as a general law California city and operates under a council/manager form of government.
Murrieta has experienced significant growth since the mid- 1980s and was previously one of the fastest-growing areas in California. With a population of approximately 2,500 in 1980, Murrieta is now home to an estimated 109,177 residents. i

The Murrieta Community Services District (CSD) was established on July 1, 1993, as a subsidiary of the City of Murrieta to assume functions previously provided by Riverside County Service Area 143. The CSD offers parks and recreation services to the city’s residents, as well as street lighting, sweeping, and landscape maintenance services.
The Murrieta Fire District was formed in 1947 as an independent, self-governed special district that provides fire protection services. On July 1, 1993, the district was reorganized as a subsidiary district of the City. Although technically still named Murrieta Fire District, as of April 2017, the Fire District is now referred to as Murrieta Fire & Rescue.
The Murrieta Redevelopment Agency (RDA) was established in July 1992. An amended redevelopment plan was adopted in June 1999 in conformity with the City’s General Plan. The original RDA plan consisted of approximately 1,127 acres in seven non-contiguous land areas throughout the City. The Plan was amended again in July 2006 to add another 1,193 acres.
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill X1 26, which directed the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in California. The RDA was dissolved and ceased to operate as a legal entity on February 1, 2012. This action has impacted the reporting entity of the City, which had previously reported the redevelopment agency as a blended component unit. Now, the activity of the former RDA is being reported in a fiduciary fund named the Successor Agency to the former Murrieta Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency) in the City’s financial statements through the remainder of the dissolution period. The dissolution period will extend until all recognized obligations of the former RDA are defeased (paid in full). The City elected to create the Murrieta Housing Authority to continue the housing activities of the former RDA. The activity of the Housing Authority is being reported as a special revenue fund.
The Murrieta Public Library officially opened in April 1999, moved to its current location in March 2007, and is under the full authority of the City of Murrieta. The Murrieta Public Library is a welcoming space for all, dedicated to providing free and equitable access to information, services, and technology. The Library is committed to empowering individuals and promoting resilience and a sense of belonging by providing informational, recreational, and educational resources and programs for all ages.
GOVERNANCE
The City is governed by the Murrieta City Council, consisting of five council members under the council-manager form of government. A mayor and mayor pro-tempore are selected as presiding officers by the City Council from amongst the five council members for one-year terms. The City of Murrieta has transitioned to a system where City Council members are elected by district instead of serving "at large.”
The City Council appoints the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager appoints all other staff positions. The City Council acts as the Board of Directors for the Murrieta Fire District, Community Services District, Library District, Housing Authority, Successor Agency to the former RDA, and Murrieta Financing Authority.

FISCAL AND OPERATING CHALLENGES
In Fiscal Year 2023/24, we saw inflation rates returning toward the normal range of 3% compared to the unprecedently high inflation rates of 8.5% in Fiscal Year 2021/22. The Federal Reserve (Fed) addressed the high inflation rates by raising interest rates. While higher interest rates allow for opportunities to reinvest at higher-yield investments, they negatively impact consumer spending since financing costs to purchase a house, car, and other high- ticketed purchases now cost more. The Fed cut interest rates on September 18, 2024, by 50 basis points. This was the first cut in four years. The Fed has reduced interest rates in response to the decline in inflation, with the aim of supporting economic growth and stabilizing the labor market. This reduction in interest rates is expected to encourage increased consumer spending on homes, automobiles, and other significant purchases.
Murrieta’s unemployment rate of 4.3% as of September 2024 was lower than the County and State's 5.6% and 5.3%, respectively. These rates are very comparable to the rates stated in our report from last year, which shows that the labor market has remained stable. For the City of Murrieta, we are still experiencing recruitment challenges, but the labor pool is improving.
We are seeing more qualified candidates for each position that we are recruiting for.
Bond Rating
In recent years, S&P Global Ratings have upgraded the City’s bond indebtedness for the 2020A Lease Revenue Refunding Bond, the Murrieta Successor Agency 2017 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, and the 2023 Local Agency Revenue Refunding Bonds. These credit rating upgrades demonstrate the strength of the underlying local economy and the City’s financial condition.

Achievements
As of the date of this report, the City is honored to have received the following awards and recognitions:
2023 Best City in the Region
Murrieta has been voted the best city in the San Gabriel Valley/Inland Empire region in the Los Angeles Times’ Best of the Southland 2023 Survey. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of individuals, businesses, and organizations that consistently contribute to making Murrieta the best place to live, work, and thrive, we are proud to receive this
recognition.
2023 Top Workplaces
The City is honored to receive the Top Workplaces award by Inland Empire. This is a testament of the City Council and Management to always strive to move forward in the
right direction.
2024 Best City in the Inland Empire
The City is excited to share that Murrieta was voted as the 2024 Best City in the Inland Empire by readers of the Inland Empire Magazine. This is the first time Inland Empire Magazine has ranked the votes. The City of Murrieta continues to provide its residents and businesses with an environment where they can thrive and takes pride in its ability to be a great place for people to live, work, and play.
Fire Accreditation International Recognition
Murrieta Fire & Rescue recently renewed its accreditation status from the Commission on Fire Accreditation
International (CFAI). This recognition is a result of Murrieta Fire & Rescue’s commitment to excellence, demonstrated
through the voluntary self-assessment and accreditation program established by CFAI. Including Murrieta Fire &
Rescue, only 22 accredited agencies are in California, and only 308 are worldwide.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The City of Murrieta has a stable economic future, underscored by the continued growth in FY 2023/24. The City’s diverse and close-knit industry clusters have helped create a healthy and sustainable economy that generates optimism for our future.
The City of Murrieta is located at the confluence of the I-15 and I-215 freeways, close to San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties. This strategic location within Southern California
vi
City of Murrieta, CA
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
December 12, 2024
makes it an attractive destination for businesses and residents and well-positioned to capture a competitive share of regional economic growth.
Since its incorporation in 1991, Murrieta’s population has grown substantially, and it was one of the fastest-growing cities in the state from 2000 to 2008. This can be attributed to its excellent climate, affordable homes, outstanding school system, low crime rate, and focus on outdoor living, with 53 City parks and countless recreation programs focusing on creating a community people want to call home. This year, the City saw the return of unparalleled permit applications with various new businesses, new housing, and major new medical developments under review.
The City has seen substantial housing growth in 2024, with 2,774 housing units pending approval, 3,594 units approved, and an additional 2,482 units under construction. This reflects a robust housing market in the city and brings in a new workforce to continue to fill our growing job market.
The unemployment rate has remained low, with Murrieta consistently ranking below the County of Riverside and State of California rates as previously stated. To help with workforce development and the creation of small businesses, the City developed the Murrieta Innovation Center (MIC) in 2014. It provides guidance to prospective business owners and start-up companies and is home to the first Genomics Research Lab in the region, along with ten biotech companies. In 2024, the City had completed design work for the MIC, which included the addition of a wet lab and creative office space. A grant from the US Department of Commerce partly funds this $3 million investment, and the County of Riverside contributed another $2.5M to the center. The businesses in the center have performed strongly, all receiving venture capital, grants, or some form of seed funding. Each year, the City of Murrieta accompanies the State of California on an international business recruiting event called Select USA; from this event, the city has signed multiple tenants to join the MIC, and now six international companies have joined the Murrieta Innovation Center.
The City’s Economic Development team works closely with the Chamber of Commerce to host workshops, business events, and annual job fairs to attract new businesses and help Murrieta-based enterprises grow and expand in the City.
The City saw significant development interest in 2024. There have been many major new commercial openings, including:
x The Murrieta Hot Springs Resort
x Trader Joe’s
x Talia’s Kitchen
x Home Depot
x Ross
x Capriotti’s
x Wann’s Bar & Grill
x Lynn’s Buffet
x Best Pizza & Brew
x Tikka Takka Indian Cuisine

Many other successful companies are planning major future expansions, including Nikkiso Cryoquip, Carmax, Driveline, Walmart, and the next phase of the Makena Medical Center with a new Ambulatory Surgery Center. The Murrieta Auto Mall is seeing a resurgence, with a soon-to-be-named auto dealership coming in to complement BMW, Volkswagen, and West Coast Exotic Automobiles. In addition, the final pads in the Auto Mall have been sold to an Auto Group that will bring in a new car dealership.
Medical growth continues to fuel the City’s economy, with the following developments coming soon:
x Ambulatory Surgery Center in the Makena Medical site. x Ambulatory Surgery Center on Hancock west of Rancho Springs Medical Center.
There are many reasons why Murrieta is achieving growth at this pace, and public safety is always at the top of the list. According to FBI statistics, the city has been consistently ranked as one of the top three safest cities in the nation for the last decade among cities with a population of over 100,000 with respect to violent crimes. This exceptional safety rating can be credited to our highly skilled police department and a strong relationship with members of the community who work with the department to prevent and stop crime. Murrieta Fire & Rescue also has a strong bond with the community and is one (1) of the twenty (20) accredited fire departments in California by the Commission of Fire Accreditation International.
Overall, the City’s focus on the quality of life for families, public safety, and creating a beautiful environment continues to make Murrieta an attractive location for many families looking to raise their children in a strong, vibrant, and safe community.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The City’s financial records for general governmental operations are maintained on a modified accrual basis. Revenues are recorded when available and measurable, and expenditures are recorded when the services or goods are received and the liability is incurred.
City management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the government are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of the control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived, and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Reporting Entity
This ACFR presents information on the financial position and operations of the City as a single comprehensive reporting entity. The City, Murrieta Fire District, Murrieta Community Services District, Murrieta Public Library, and the Murrieta Financing Authority have been included in this report per criteria established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
The reporting entity consists of all of the funds and account groups of the primary government (the City of Murrieta) and its component units, which are legally separate organizations.
Blended component units, which are legally separate from the City but are so intertwined with viii

Annual Comprehensive Financial Report

the City that they are in substance the same as the City, include the Murrieta Fire District, Murrieta Community Services District, and the Murrieta Public Library.
Long-term Financial Planning
Multi-year financial planning, including adopting a two-year budget and a five-year capital improvement plan (CIP), provides the City Council, departments, and the public with a greater plan regarding ongoing funding and staffing for programs, projects, and services. The City manages a long-term financial plan. The long-term financial plan projects revenues and expenditures over a long-term period, using assumptions about economic conditions, future spending scenarios, and other salient variables. The two-year budget, five-year CIP plan, and long-term financial plan are processes designed to bring continued transparency to the City’s finances, operations, and strategic goals internally with the City Council, City Manager, employees, and departments and externally with residents and businesses.
For Fiscal Years 2023/24 and 2024/25, the City Council adopted a balanced biennial operating budget of $172,605,264 and $180,706,542, respectively. As part of the City’s budget framework, the City Manager delivers quarterly reports and recommends providing budget updates to the City Council based on revised revenue and expenditure forecasts. The adopted budget provides a sound financial plan and supports the City Council’s commitment to fostering quality of life for the residents of Murrieta.
Measure T is a one-percent (1%) general-purpose transaction and use tax (or district sales tax), with revenues going directly to the City of Murrieta. Voters approved Measure T on November 6, 2018. The City began receiving Measure T revenues in April 2019. The City has experienced steady growth, but funding for public safety programs and other essential city services has not kept pace to match the increased demand for these vital services. Measure T provides a local revenue source for increased funding of essential services, including but not limited to public safety services such as neighborhood police patrols, crime prevention programs, improved response times for emergency calls, improved fire protection, and paramedic services, improved public infrastructure, and community facilities and services. In addition, Measure T provides future fiscal sustainability through funding reserves and establishing new sustainability funds. As of June 30, 2024, the district sales tax (Measure T) proceeds were approximately $28.2 million.
Budget Authority
The City Council approves a two-year operating budget and an annual five-year CIP, with public meetings/hearings conducted before the budget and CIP adoption. When required during the year, supplemental appropriations are also approved by the City Council.
Expenditures may not exceed appropriations at the fund level. The City Manager is authorized to approve operating transfers between departments within a fund without limit. All other budget adjustments (increase in appropriation or transferring budget between funds) require City Council approval. The City maintains budgetary controls to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget.
The City’s five-year CIP provides a financial plan to fund the City’s critical and essential infrastructure projects. Over five years (FY 2024/25 through FY 2028/29), the City anticipates investing $110,335,112 in essential assets. Various funding sources provide funding for these projects, including the General Fund, Measure T Fund, Development Impact Fees, ix

Annual Comprehensive Financial Report

transportation, grants, and reimbursement agreements. The following table summarizes the various funding sources:
The CIP reflects the needs of our residents to ensure the streets, bridges, traffic signals, storm drains, public buildings, and parks are well maintained and operated for optimum health and safety, increased efficiency and functionality, enhanced attractiveness, and beautification.
The following table summarizes the projected capital uses:
The CIP document places equal emphasis on planning for new projects and improving and preserving existing capital assets. The City’s CIP document includes a list of Capital Improvement Projects by funding source and a list of unfunded Capital Improvement Projects.
This is an attempt to identify and quantify the City’s true CIP needs not only in the short term but also in the long term. Although the list is comprehensive and reflects a good assessment of the City’s needs, it is by no means a complete list, as additional assessments need to be done in the coming years to refine this list, create guidelines to prioritize projects, and prepare a strategic approach to fund and complete these unfunded projects.
The city's website has an electronic copy of its adopted two-year budget and five-year CIP plan, which can be found here.
The CIP plan addresses the City’s critical and essential infrastructure projects. During the Fiscal Year 2023/24, the City substantially completed the following CIP projects:
CIP 8513: Veteran's Memorial at Town Square Park $737,248 The Vietnam War portion of the project was completed and inaugurated during the Veteran’s Day parade in November 2023. The estimated total cost of the Vietnam War portion of the

project is $737,248, and it is currently in the closeout phase. The project is a dignified Veteran’s Memorial at Town Square Park reflecting contributions made by veterans from all military branches throughout the history of the United States and acknowledging and honoring the courage, commitment, and heroism demonstrated by all veterans past and present. The inception-to-date cost is approximately $1.3 million. The proposed additional commitment to the project's next phase is $600,000.
CIP 10042: Automated Book Bin Sorter Replacement $165,245 The automated book bin sorter machine was completed in August 2023. The project replaced the current system at the Murrieta Public Library to effectively streamline the process of handling approximately 20,000 books per month.
CIP 13040/13045: Pedestrian Safety Enhancements $707,382 The project consisted of the installation and retrofitting of crosswalks and intersections to improve access for disabled persons under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and is funded utilizing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Gas Tax funds in the areas of California Oaks Road and Clinton Keith Road, Bladen Avenue and Hancock Whitewood Avenue; Road Avenida and Acacias, Willowbend Drive, Calle De Tres Amigos, Blackthorne Drive, Day Lily Drive, Via Temprano (N), Via Monserate (N) and Alta Murrieta Apartments Drive. The project was substantially completed in October 2023.
CIP 21023121024: Library Roof Project $382,144 & Library HVAC Controls Project $139,580 The project replaced and repaired the 15-year-old roof from the visible wear and tear and leaking issues. The Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling (HVAC) project replaced and upgraded the 15-year-old HVAC control system to improve operational efficiency and save energy. Both projects were substantially completed in November 2023.
CIP 21035: Police Department Administrative Offices Improvements Project $65,864 The project consists of optimizing existing space for improved ergonomics due to increased staff and optimizing space for more efficient storage of confidential and sensitive documents.
CIP 21040: City Hall Annex Project $45,323
The project will provide a working space for current and future employees and anticipate housing up to 21 employees. It is estimated to be substantially completed by August 2024.
The final project cost will be reported in the following capital improvement budget update.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND INITIATIVES

Independent Auditor’s Report
City Council Members
City of Murrieta
Murrieta, California
To the Honorable City Council
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited 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 as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matters
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in the year ended June 30, 2024, the City adopted new accounting guidance under Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB Statement) No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections . Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
-2-
As described in Note 19 to the financial statements, the fund balances of certain funds and net position of governmental activities at July 1, 2023 were restated for the correction of an error. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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.
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 and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x 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.
x 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. x 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.
x 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.
-3-
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the schedules of proportionate share of the net pension liability for the miscellaneous and safety plans, the schedules of plan contributions for the miscellaneous and safety plans, the schedule of changes in the net OPEB liability and related ratios, schedule of contributions for OPEB and the budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and major Special Revenue Funds, identified as required supplementary information in the accompanying table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, 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 combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules (supplementary information) are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the accompanying supplementary information is 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 included in the annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR). The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections 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.
-4-
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 12, 2024 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is 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
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024

As management of the City of Murrieta, we offer readers of the City of Murrieta’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the enclosed letter of transmittal and basic financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Programs and general revenues 173,354,606 $
Cost of governmental activities (156,934,595)
Net revenues over expenditures 16,420,011
Net Position at Beginning of Year, as Restated 558,681,375 Net Position at End of Year 575,101,386 $
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Murrieta’s basic financial statements. The City of Murrieta’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government- wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
COMPONENTS OF THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT
Government-wide financial statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Murrieta’s finances in a manner similar to a private-sector business.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The statement of net position presents information on all of the City of Murrieta’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a valuable indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Murrieta is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (i.e., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Murrieta that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (government activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of Murrieta include general government, public safety, community development, parks and recreation, and public works.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City but also the Murrieta Financing Authority, the Murrieta Fire District, the Murrieta Community Services District, and the Murrieta Public Library. Although these entities are legally separate, they function, for all practical purposes, as a part of the City. Therefore, they have been included as blended component units as an integral part of the primary government.
Fund financial statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Murrieta, like other local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Murrieta can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike government-wide statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is 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 fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Murrieta maintains 23 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, the Fire District Special Revenue Fund, the Federal Grants Special Revenue Fund, and the Development Impact Capital Project Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 19 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the supplementary information section of this report.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
-7-
The City of Murrieta adopted an operating budget for its General Fund and two of the three other major funds. To demonstrate compliance with the budget, a budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund, the Fire District Fund, and the Federal Grants Special Revenue Fund.
Proprietary Funds
The City of Murrieta maintains only the internal service fund type of proprietary funds. The internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions.
The City uses internal service funds to account for its Information Technology and Risk Management activities. Because the City does not maintain enterprise-type proprietary funds, all of the internal service funds’ activities have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement due to the fact that the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of Murrieta’s own programs.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information essential to fully understanding the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Combining Statements
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements.
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
Our analysis in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis focuses on the net position (Table 1) of the City’s governmental activities reported in the government-wide statements.

The City’s combined net position as of June 30, 2024, as shown in table 1, was $575,101,386. The City’s net position increased by $16,016,719 compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in the City’s net position is primarily due to a rise of $25,505,894 in total assets, net of deferred outflows of resources, and an increase of $9,489,175 in total liabilities, net of deferred inflows of resources. The most substantial growth was seen in the restricted net position, which rose by $10,229,924, with $9,107,071 allocated for Public Works. The unrestricted net position rose by $9,568,487.
Current assets increased by $27,943,514, or 9.34%, compared to prior year balances. The increase is mostly attributable to the following items: an increase in cash and investments of $26,183,721 and an increase in the sum of all receivables totaling $4,400,647.
The capital assets net of accumulated depreciation has decreased by $4,975,316. The decrease represents the difference between additions, deletions, and depreciation in the current year. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Governmental activities' capital assets are discussed in more detail in the capital asset section of this report, and additional detailed information can be found in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Note 6 – Capital Assets).

Changes in the various components associated with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) statement 68 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pension, statement 75 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pension (OPEB), and statement 87 Leases impacted deferred outflows and inflows, and changes in pension, OPEB and leases liabilities for the year. GASB 68 and GASB 75 pronouncements required the City to record the net pension and OPEB liabilities on the books. The deferred outflows of resources increased by $2,537,696, while the deferred inflows of resources decreased by $2,086,050.
Current liabilities increased by $6,968,024, or 16.55%. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in compensated absences of $4,224,298. Another contributing factor to the increase was an increase of $426,906 in the GASB 96 accounting for software licenses. The remaining increase of $599,368 came from increasing debt service, note payable, lease liability, and claims and judgment. Accounts payables increased by $1,658,909, accrued liabilities increased by $1,585,676, unearned revenue decreased by $2,136,457 due to recognized grant revenue from the American Rescue Plan Act grant, and the remaining increase of $606,326 came from other liabilities.
Long-term liabilities such as outstanding debt, leases, employee benefit accruals, claims and judgments, and OPEB liability increased by $4,607,201, an increase of approximately 2.5% from the prior year. The most significant addition is attributable to the increase in actuarial valuation for OPEB liability of $6,559,867 and an increase in pension liability of $7,717,344. Other notable increases were from software licenses and a commercial lease for expanded staff space totaling $1,626,792. Bonded debt decreased by $7,584,848 due to annual principal payments and compensated absences reduced by $3,627,885 as a result of a greater shift in due within one year. All other outstanding debt categories decreased by $84,069. Debt activities for the governmental funds can be found in the Long-Term Debt section of this report, and additional detailed information can be found in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Note 7 – Long- Term Debt).
Approximately 75.0% of the City's net position is a net investment in capital assets (i.e., land, construction in progress, buildings, land & building improvements, parkland improvement, vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; therefore, these assets are not available for future spending.
The restricted net position represents resources subject to external restrictions and earmarked for a specific purpose. The unrestricted net position represents the resources that may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to creditors and services to residents.

The City’s combined net position as of June 30, 2024, as shown above in table 2, is $575,101,386. The City’s net position increased by $16,016,719 or approximately 2.86% compared to the prior fiscal year. The City had a beginning of year restatement of $403,292, which affected the General Fund and Housing Authority. Additional information can be found in Note 19. This increase occurs when spending is less than the revenues received. There were several reasons for the increase in net position, including improved property taxes, investment earnings, charges for services, and operating and grant revenues.

When combining general and program revenues, sales and property taxes make up approximately 55.1% of total revenues, which are the City’s two most significant revenue sources. As of June 30, 2024, program revenues totaled $53,349,236, while general revenues totaled $120,005,370. Total revenue for the year totaled $173,354,606, an increase of $3,668,103 compared to the prior fiscal year. The most noteworthy changes are as follows:
Program revenues decreased by $8,087,894 to $53,349,236, or approximately 11.8% from the previous year.
x Charges for services increased by $1,755,764, or 6.7%, during the fiscal year 2023/24 primarily due to the following: charges for services for Community Development were higher by $5,956,188 compared to the prior year. Parks and Recreation revenue was steady, with an increase of $240,963 compared to the prior year. While General Government, Public Safety, and Public Works experienced reductions over the prior year of $1,109,623, $857,755, and $2,474,009, respectively.
x Operating contributions and grant revenue increased in total by $1,659,496. That represents an increase of approximately 21.7% as compared to last year. The most significant increase occurred in the Parks and Recreation category by $2,391,347, while General Government decreased by $1,794,209. Public Safety and Community Development had more moderate increases of $749,083 and $313,275, respectively. This year, capital grants and contributions decreased by $11,503,154, or 41.95%. The decrease is mainly in the Public Works category due to development impact fees and federal and state grants.
General revenues increased by $11,755,997 to $120,005,370 in the current year.
x The most significant increase in general revenues was property taxes by $3,012,094, and investment income by $9,750,522. This represents an increase of approximately 7.8% in property tax revenues and 212.9% in investment income.
x The increase in property tax revenue was from new residential and commercial developments and changes in valuation due to existing home sales. x The increase in investment income is attributable to the higher investment yields in the City’s investment portfolio, Local Agency Investment Fund, and Cash Sweep investment program. Additionally, due to a favorable bond market, the value of our investment portfolio has increased, which required a GASB Statement No. 31 entry, which increased investment earnings by $3,739,260. The dividends earned through June 30, 2024, in the Cash Sweep investment program total $5,247,246.
x Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) increased by $81,713, or 4.3%, from the prior year. TOT revenues increased slightly over the prior year. This can be attributed to the Murrieta Hot Springs Resort opening for business in February 2024 after being closed to the public for more than thirty years and being run as a Bible college.
x Sales tax decreased by $1,700,224 or 3.1% from the prior year. Inflation has negatively impacted sales tax generation, particularly in the auto sale, building and construction, and fuel and service station industries. The Federal Reserve has been addressing inflation by managing interest rates, which has an impact on large ticket purchases that require financing.
Total governmental activities expenses increased by $16,582,254 from $140,352,341 to $156,934,595, or approximately 11.8% compared to the prior year.

x The General Government, Public Safety, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation expense categories experienced an increase in expenditures associated with personnel-related salary and benefits as a result of new labor agreements and increases in operating-related expenses such as legal, contract services, landscape maintenance, and animal control services.
Chart 1 – Expenses & Program Revenues
This chart highlights the cost for each of the City’s five largest programs. General Government, Public Safety, and Community Development are funded with general fund revenues such as taxes, grants and contributions, and other sources. The chart indicates that the overall cost of the government is more than the revenues generated to support it.
Parks & Recreation is primarily funded by Development Impact Fees (DIF), which are, in turn, allocated towards construction capital projects. The operating expenditures for Parks & Recreation are primarily funded by assessments and charges for services, with General Fund revenues providing additional subsidies as needed. The Public Works program is also mainly funded by DIF, capital grants, and contributions, which are used for large capital projects.

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
The City of Murrieta uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The focus of the City of Murrieta’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of Murrieta’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a valuable measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Murrieta’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $276,099,682, an increase of $26,710,713 or approximately 10.71% compared to last year's governmental funds balance. The change in fund balance for the General Fund column totaled $16,140,781, broken down by fund as follows.
Fund Title

Transaction Sales Tax (Measure T) 5,132,987
General Capital Fund 114,692
Traffic Safety Fund (2,034)
Crime Prevention Fund (38,899)
Vehicle Replacement Fund 40,682
Total Net Changes in Fund Balance 16,140,781$
Additional information can be found in the consolidating schedule on pages 96 of this report.
The other net changes in fund balances in the governmental funds include an increase of $4,154,681 for the Capital Project Development Impact Fee fund, $918,004 for the Fire District fund, and $5,470,536 for the Non-Major Governmental Funds. The non-Major Government Fund - fund balance includes the Debt Service fund balance of $1,883,583, which is now reported as a Non-Major Governmental Fund and a beginning balance restatement of $24,635. The Federal Grant fund's negative unassigned fund balance was reduced by $26,711 and is due to pending grant reimbursements. The General Fund increased by $15,762,124 net of a beginning balance restatement of $378,657. Additionally, Debt Service Fund 2016A LARB was removed from a major fund classification and is now reported as a nonmajor fund.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 54 (thoroughly discussed in the notes to the financial statements Note 9 - Fund Balance), the combined ending fund balance of $276,099,682 is broken down as follows:
Fund Balance Classification 2024 2023 Change

The non-spendable category represents that portion of fund balance that cannot be spent because it is either (a) not in a spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The restricted category represents that portion of fund balance that reflects constraints placed on the use of resources that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws/regulations of other governments or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. The committed category represents that portion of fund balance that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the City of Murrieta’s highest level of decision-making authority (City Council) and remains binding unless removed in the same manner. The assigned category represents that portion of fund balance that includes amounts constrained by the City of Murrieta’s intent to be used for specific purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. The intent was established at either the highest level of decision-making or by an official designated for that purpose, typically through the adoption of the Budget. The remaining category, unassigned, is that portion of fund balance that does not fall into one of the four other categories and may only be reported as a positive number in the General Fund. In other governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts restricted, committed, or assigned, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance.
General Fund
For the financial statement presentation, the General Fund column includes the following funds: General Fund, Measure T Fund, General Capital Fund, Traffic Safety Fund, Crime Prevention Fund, and Vehicle Replacement Fund. At the end of the fiscal year, the General Fund’s revenues exceeded expenditures, including other financing sources (uses) of $16,140,781, thereby increasing the General Fund balance at the end of June 30, 2024, to $142,929,305.
General Fund revenues increased by $6,456,663 to $106,589,682, including transfers and proceeds from sale of assets, compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $7,619,682 in the Use of Money and Property, an increase in Taxes of $510,151, and an increase of $497,887 in Transfers In. Conversely, other revenue types saw reductions over the prior year: License and Permits decreased by $285,875, Intergovernmental Revenues decreased by $779,096, and Charges for Services decreased by $1,010,667. Lastly, the remaining revenue categories declined by approximately $95,419.
The increase in the Use of Money & Property is due to two factors. The first is an increase in investment income associated with the City’s investment portfolio and short-term investment through the City’s sweep account. The investment income increase is approximately $2,220,165. The other component is associated with the accounting required by GASB 31 to recognize unrealized gain or loss of securities that weren’t sold or matured at year-end. The change in recognition of unrealized gain or loss of securities accounts over the prior year is $5,394,189. During the fiscal year, the value of fixed-income securities, like the ones in the city’s portfolio, have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates. The value of a bond will increase as interest rates decrease. Conversely, the value of bonds decreases when interest rates rise.
General Fund expenditures increased by $12,224,133 to $90,448,901, which included transfers out and other financing uses. The increase in expenditures is mainly attributable to Public Safety operations and services by $6,686,184. Personnel-related expenditures accounted for $6,315,390 or 94.4% of the increase and the balance of $370,794 was for operating costs.
The General Government Category increased by $1,730,906. This increase is associated with personnel- related expenditures of $1,112,073 and operating costs increases of $618,834 for special legal and contract services, and building and vehicle maintenance. Transfers out increased by $1,544,505. The category provides funding to special revenue funds that have operating shortfalls. Public Works and Community Development increased by $424,187 and $236,719, respectively. All other expenditure categories increased by $1,601,631.

The total fund balance includes funds classified as non-spendable in the amount of $3,742,577, primarily made up of long-term note receivables, long-term advances to other funds, inventory, and prepaid costs, which are not in spendable form. A non-spendable classification means the funds are set aside since those resources cannot be accounted as City funds until collected or, in the case of inventory and prepaid, until it is used or goods/services received.
The restricted fund balance of $137,371 represents cash in an escrow account for the streetlight retrofit project, and partial annual debt service obligation by the General Fund. Additional information regarding the capital lease can be found on Note 7 - Capital Lease Liability on page 54 of this report.
Committed funds totaled $86,200,190. These funds are slated for capital projects, continuing appropriations, economic contingency reserves, operating reserves, pension rate stabilization reserves, fleet replacement reserves, and facility replacement reserves. It includes an operating reserve of $20,416,330 from the General Fund and $9,147,847 from the Measure T fund, of which $4,215,039 is set aside to fund the Fire District, Community Services District, and Library operating reserves at an average level of 31.8%. The combined operating reserve of $29,564,177 is approximately 30% of the annual operating budget. The operating reserve is established by a City Council policy to provide sufficient cash flow and resources to pay the annual debt and obligated long-term debt requirements and to maintain City operations should a catastrophic event such as a natural disaster or an economic or legislative change occur that might have an adverse impact to the City’s financial position. The current operating reserve policy requires a 25% reserve. The committed fund balance includes a $8,382,884 economic contingency reserve, $9,000,000 pension and other post-employment benefit trust reserves, $8,355,258 fleet replacement, $11,907,850 facilities and equipment reserve, and $6,025,000 in continuing operations.
The assigned fund balance totaling $52,482 is set aside for City programs. The second most significant portion of the fund balance is unassigned fund balance in the amount of $52,796,685. The unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. More detailed information about the City’s fund balance is presented in Note 9 to the financial statements.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
As customary, Finance staff delivers quarterly budget update reports to the City Council. As necessary, staff recommends budget adjustments to revenue and expenses to align the budget with actual financial activities, unanticipated revenue or expenses, or revised forecasts.
The revised revenue budget for FY 2023/24 totaled $96,860,003, while actual revenues totaled $106,589,682, outperforming revenue projections by $9,729,679. The most significant budgetary variance is in the use of money and property (interest earning), property taxes, intergovernmental revenue, and charges for services categories. While other revenue categories, licenses and permits, and transfers in, licenses and permits, and transfers in experienced a moderate increase when compared to the amended budget. Fines & forfeitures was slightly under budget when compared to the amended budget.
The General Fund Sales & Use tax and Transaction tax were $679,077 (or two percent) under budget. This coincides with the general economy being down from an extended period of high interest rates, which has affected our new and used auto sales and general goods sales. However, property taxes outperformed the budget by $2,321,955, primarily due to conservative budgeting and new residential and commercial development. Additionally, franchise taxes and property transfer taxes came in higher than the amended budget by $504,401 and $136,263, respectively.
The increase in the use of money and property is primarily due to the extended periods of high interest rates, which have had a positive outcome with higher interest earnings. The General Fund’s portion of interest earnings from the investment portfolio was $4,770,024. As required by GASB Statement 31 - City of Murrieta

Accounting and Financial Reporting for Investments, a non-cash accounting adjustment to record gains or losses in investments either not yet sold or matured. The positive change in the valuation of investment at year-end was $3,739,260. The value of fixed-income securities may fluctuate with changes in interest rates.
As interest rates go up, the market value of the securities may go down, and the reverse is true; when interest rates go down, the market value of the securities may go up. The difference between book value and fair market value is considered an unrealized gain or loss
Licenses and Permits and Charges for Services outperformed its budget by $54,616 and $200,721, respectively, due to multifamily housing and commercial developments for permits, plan checks, and inspection services. The Intergovernmental revenue category was $484,488 higher than the budget primarily due to the collection of deferred payments from the previous fiscal year associated with the intergovernmental agreement for dispatch services.

BUDGET TO A CTUA L
GENERA L FUND
The total revised General Fund operating expenditure budget in FY 2023/24 totaled $102,566,265, while actual expenses at year-end totaled $90,448,901. The actual operating expenses were $12,117,364 lower than the budgeted figures. This negative variance (or budgetary savings) comprised of Personnel, Operations & Maintenance, Allocations (or Internal Service Charges), and Transfer Out across the various expenditure functions.
Operations & Maintenance had budgetary savings of approximately $1.8 million savings across multiple departments in contract services for consultants, contracts, and special legal services. The General Fund has budgetary savings across all departments totaling $4.3 million. This can be attributed to the time to recruit for vacant positions. The Transfer Out savings of $4.2 million in this category are primarily due to reduced expenditures and increased revenue in the Fire District, Community Services District (CSD), and Library, which resulted in a lower Transfer In from the General Fund’s District sales tax fund to make the aforementioned district’s fund whole.

The increase in Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability of approximately $6,559,867 is attributed to a reduction in the discount rate from 5.70% to 5.06%, changes in assumptions, and differences between expected and actual experiences. Claims and Judgments related to the City’s general liability and Workers’ Compensation decreased by $111,058 due to the actuarial valuation of future liability. Compensated absences had an increase of $570,713 due to an increase in the number of employees and increases in the salary and compensation schedules. The remaining outstanding debt items had an overall decrease of $4,879,093 primarily due to payment of annual debt service payments.

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. -26-
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds 26,710,713$ Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation exceeded capital outlays in the current period.
Capital Outlays 14,239,805 $
Depreciation and amortization (18,354,486) (4,114,681) The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. These amounts are the net effect of these differences in the treatments of long-term debt and related items.
Principal Payments 4,401,401
Amortization of Premium 291,655
Amortization on Loss on Refunding (31,644) 4,661,412 Accrued interest for long-term liabilities. This is the net change in accrued interest for the current period. (389,965)
Compensated absences expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. (582,364)
Pension obligation expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. (7,732,390)
OPEB obligation expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. (2,088,114)
Revenues reported as unavailable revenue in the governmental funds and recognized in the statement of activities. These are included in the intergovernmental revenues in the governmental fund activity. (673,324) Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as equipment management and self-insurance, to individual funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) Reporting Entity
The City of Murrieta (the City) is a reporting entity, which consists of the primary government and component units:
Reporting Entity:
Primary Government
City of Murrieta
Component Units:
Murrieta Financing Authority
Murrieta Fire Protection District
Murrieta Community Services District
Murrieta Public Library Board
Murrieta Housing Authority
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the City of Murrieta (the primary government) and its component units. Component units are entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable.
The City was incorporated on July 1, 1991, under the laws of the state of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges applicable to a General Law City. It is governed by an elected five- member board. The City operates under a council-manager form of government and currently provides a wide variety of services to its citizens, including police, fire, public services, community development, general and administrative, and other services. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the City and its component units. Component units are legally separate entities that meet any one of the following three tests:
1. The City appoints the voting majority of the board of the potential component unit and is able to impose its will on the component unit and/or is in a relationship of financial benefit or burden with the potential component unit.
2. The potential component unit is fiscally dependent upon the City.
3. The financial statements would be misleading if data from the potential component units were not included.
Component units are legally separate entities. However, the City Council serves in separate sessions as the governing body of these related agencies and they are, in substance, part of the City’s operations, so data from these units are combined with data of the City. Based on the above criteria, the accompanying financial statements include the financial activities of the entities listed below.

The City appoints the voting majority of the board and the City has operational responsibility for the Authority. It was created for the purpose of assisting in the financing and refinancing of certain redevelopment activities of the Agency and certain public programs and projects of the City and for the purpose of aiding in the financing and refinancing of public capital improvements. The operations of the Authority are reported as a debt service fund.
The Murrieta Fire Protection District (MFPD) was an independent (self-governed) special district formed pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code commencing with Section 13800, for the purpose of providing fire protection services. Effective July 1, 1993, the MFPD was reorganized as a subsidiary district of the City of Murrieta. The MFPD continues to operate as a special district under the same Health and Safety Code provisions. As a subsidiary district, the City Council of the City of Murrieta now serves as MFPD’s governing Board of Directors and the City has operational responsibility for the District. The operations of the MFPD are reported as a special revenue fund.
On June 25, 1992, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside adopted Resolution No. 50 90 to form the Murrieta Community Services District (MCSD) as a subsidiary of the City of Murrieta and detach the area within the City boundaries from the county service area (CSA143). The formation of MCSD and the detachment from CSA143 were effective on July 1, 1993. As a subsidiary district, the City Council of the City of Murrieta now serves as the District’s governing Board of Directors and the City has operational responsibility for the District. The operations of the Community Services District are reported as a special revenue fund.
The Murrieta Public Library’s (the Library) board was established on February 17, 1998, by City Ordinance 185. The City provides for the Murrieta public library system and adopted the provisions of an act of the legislature of the state of California entitled “Municipal Libraries” as set forth in Education Code Section 18900 et seq. regarding the regulation and maintenance of a public library system. The City Council of the City of Murrieta now serves as the Library’s governing Board of Directors and the City has operational responsibility for the Library. The operations of the Murrieta Public Library are reported as a special revenue fund.
On April 5, 2011, the City established the Murrieta Housing Authority (the Housing Authority).
The majority of the Housing Authority’s activities began when it became the successor housing entity to the former Murrieta Redevelopment Agency. The City Council of the City of Murrieta serves as the governing Board of Directors and the City has operational responsibility for the Housing Authority. The operations of the Housing Authority are reported as a special revenue fund.
Separate financial statements are not prepared for the component units.

B) Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities that rely, to a significant extent, on fees and charges for support. Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 in regard to interfund activities, payables, and receivables. All internal balances in the statement of net position have been eliminated. In the statement of activities, all interfund services have been eliminated.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead, as general revenues.
The underlying accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
Separate financial statements for the City’s governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented after the government-wide financial statements. These statements display information about major funds individually and other governmental and proprietary funds in the aggregate for nonmajor funds. Fiduciary fund statements, even though excluded from the government-wide financial statements, include financial information for private-purpose trust funds and custodial funds.
C) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (Continued)
C) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, (Continued)
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary funds financial statements. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their statements of net position. Operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
The City’s fiduciary fund financial statements report custodial fund and private purpose trust fund. Custodial funds are used to account for situations where the government’s role is purely custodial.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets, current liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on their balance sheets. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of “available spendable resources.” Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balance. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of “available spendable resources” during a period.
Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on their balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.

The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Fire District Special Revenue Fund accounts for proceeds of property taxes and other sources that are restricted by law or administrative action to expenditures for the operation of the City’s fire stations.
The Federal Grants Special Revenue Fund accounts for revenues and expenditure made under federal grant programs.
The Development Impact Capital Projects Fund accounts for developer contributions and other revenue sources that are restricted by law or administrative action to expenditures for development purposes.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Governmental Fund Types
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than special assessments, expendable trusts, or major capital projects) that are restricted to expenditures for special purposes.
Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major facilities other than those financed by Proprietary, Special Assessment and/or Trust Funds.
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, long-term debt principal, interest and related costs other than those being financed by proprietary funds.
Proprietary Fund Types
Internal Service Funds – These funds account for goods and services provided by one City department to other City departments or agencies. These activities include self- insurance and information technology.

Fiduciary Fund Types
The Private-Purpose Trust Fund is used to account for the balances and transactions of the Successor Agency to the Murrieta Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency). The Successor Agency private purpose trust fund accounts for the assets and liabilities of the former redevelopment agency and its allocated revenue to pay estimated installment payments of enforceable obligations until the obligations of the former redevelopment agency are paid in full and assets have been liquidated.
Custodial funds are used to report fiduciary activities that are not required to be reported in private-purpose trust funds. The City uses the custodial fund to account for various assessment districts for which the City acts as an agent for debt service activity.
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 proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations.
The principal operating revenues of the City’s internal service funds are charges to funds for services. Operating expenses for the internal service funds include the costs of sales and services, maintenance of capital assets, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
The City’s internal service funds are presented in the proprietary fund financial statements.
Because the principal users of the internal services are the City’s governmental activities, the financial statements of the internal service funds are consolidated in the governmental activities column when presented in the governmentwide financial statements. To the extent possible, the cost of these services is reported in the appropriate functional activity (general government, public safety, community development, etc.).
D) Implementation of New Accounting Pronouncements
For the year ended June 30, 2024 the financial statements include the adoption of GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections . This Statement defines accounting changes as changes in accounting principles, changes in accounting estimates, and changes to or within the financial reporting entity and describes the transactions or other events that constitute those changes. As part of those descriptions, for (1) certain changes in accounting principles and (2) certain changes in accounting estimates that result from a change in measurement methodology, a new principle or methodology should be justified on the basis that it is preferable to the principle or methodology used before the change. That preferability should be based on the qualitative characteristics of financial reporting—understandability, reliability, relevance, timeliness, consistency, and comparability.
This Statement also addresses corrections of errors in previously issued financial statements.

E) Cash and Investments
Investments for the City, as well as for its component units, are reported at fair value. The State Treasurer’s Investment Pool operates in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents represent demand deposits of proprietary funds held in financial institutions or in cash management pools where funds can be added or withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase.
F) Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the noncurrent portion of the interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.”
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a nonspendable fund balance account in the general fund to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles.
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied providing they become available. Available means when due, or past due and receivable within the current period and collected within the current period or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter (not to exceed 60 days) to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The County of Riverside collects property taxes for the City. Tax liens attach annually as of 12:01 a.m. on the first day in January preceding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. The tax levy covers the fiscal period July 1 to June 30. All secured personal property taxes and one-half of the taxes on real property are due November 1; the second installment is due February 1. All taxes are delinquent, if unpaid, on December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured personal property taxes become due on the first of March each year and are delinquent on August 31.
G) Inventories and Prepaid Items
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.

H) Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of debt issues, as well as certain resources set-aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets in the financial statements because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants.
I) Capital Assets and Right-to-Use Leased Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, right-to-use leased assets and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the Governmental Activities column of the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets received are recorded at acquisition value as of the date received. Right-to-use lease/subscription assets, which include equipment and vehicles, follow the same capitalization thresholds as capital assets. Right-to-use lease/subscription assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease/subscription liabilities and modified by any lease/subscription payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset’s life are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildin
gs and improvements 20 to 50 years
Equipment 5 to 20 years
Furniture and fixtures 10 to 20 years
Infrastructure 20 to 50 years
J) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category:
x Deferred loss on refunding, net of accumulated amortization. A deferred loss on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.

J) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, (Continued)
x Deferred outflows related to pensions and other postemployment benefits (OPEB) equal to employer contributions made after the measurement date of the net pension liability and OPEB liability. These amounts will be recognized in the next fiscal year.
x Deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB for differences between expected and actual experience. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions and OPEB through the plans.
x Deferred outflows from OPEB resulting from changes in assumptions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with OPEB through the plans.
x Deferred outflows related to pensions for the changes in employer’s proportion and differences between the employer’s contributions and the employer’s proportionate share of contributions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the plans.
In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position and the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net asset that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category:
x Deferred inflows from unavailable revenues, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet.
The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from three sources, which are taxes, interest, and grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
x Deferred inflows from lease receivable is initially measured at the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
x Deferred inflows related to OPEB for differences between expected and actual experience. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with OPEB through the plans.

These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining services lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the plans.
x Deferred inflows related to pensions and OPEB resulting from the net differences between projected and actual earnings on plan investments of the pension and OPEB plans’ fiduciary net position. These amounts are amortized over five years.
K) Lease Receivable
The City measures lease receivable at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during the lease term. Interest revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term.
L) Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenues are reported in connection with resources that have been received but not yet earned.
M) Compensated Absences
All vacation and sick leave pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
Murrieta has six employee bargaining groups, and each group has its own Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Management is unrepresented and has a compensation plan. All MOUs or plans provide for annual leave (used for both vacation and sick leave) or vacation leave when taken, with a cash-out of unused/accrued leave upon termination.

At-will Employees 1,000 Hours
The Murrieta Firefighters Association (MFA) and Murrieta Fire Management Association (MFMA) 24 hour battalion chiefs’ vacation leave maximum accruals are limited to the equivalent of two years’ accrual (annual accruals vary with longevity of employee). MFMA 40- hour battalion chiefs’ maximum annual leave accrual is limited to 644 hours.
Sick leave is payable when an employee is unable to work because of illness. Employees with continuous employment of five years or more may receive a payment of 25% of unused sick leave when they resign or retire at the then rate of compensation. Employees with continuous employment over 10 years may receive a payment of 50% of the unused sick leave when they resign or retire at the then rate of compensation. Police management employees with continuous employment over 15 years may receive a payment of 75% of the unused sick leave when they resign or retire.
The liability for compensated absences will be paid in future years from the Fire, Library, Community Services District, Information Technology, and General Funds.
N) Long-Term Obligations
Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the governmental activities and proprietary fund statements of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the governmental fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.

O) Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position.
P) Fund Balances
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report the following fund balance classification:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – Amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in nonspendable form or are required to be maintained intact.
Restricted Fund Balance – Amounts that are constrained to specific purposes by state or federal laws, or externally imposed conditions by grantors or creditors.
Committed Fund Balance – The City Council, as the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment. City Council action to commit fund balance needs to occur within the fiscal reporting period; however, the amount can be determined subsequently.
Assigned Fund Balance – Amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed, should be reported as assigned fund balance. The City’s fund balance policy delegates the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes to the City Manager or designee for the purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements.
Unassigned Fund Balance – These are either residual positive net resources of fund balance in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories, or negative balances. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the City considers restricted funds to have been spent first. When an expenditure is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balance are available, the City considers amounts to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds, as needed, unless the governing board has provided otherwise in its commitment or assignment actions.

Q) Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
R) Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s OPEB plans and additions to/deductions from the OPEB plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, the City’s OPEB plans recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
S) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources 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.

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 that 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 that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flows and liquidity needed for operations. The City has elected to use the segmented time distribution method of disclosure for its interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2024, the City had the following investments and original maturities:

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.
Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating, by Standard & Poor’s, as of fiscal year end for each investment type.

The City’s investment policy imposes restrictions on percentages that the City can invest in certain types of investments and with any one issuer for certain types of investments. GASB 40 requires a separate disclosure if any single issuer comprises more than 5% of the total investment value. As of June 30, 2024, the City had investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) in excess of 5% of total investments.
Custodial Credit Risk
The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City’s deposits by pledging government securities with a value of 110% of a City’s deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of a City’s total deposits. The City Treasurer may waive the collateral requirement for deposits, which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The collateral for deposits in federal and state-chartered banks is held in safekeeping by an authorized Agent of Depository recognized by the state of California Department of Banking. The collateral for deposits with savings and loan associations is generally held in safekeeping by the Federal Home Loan Bank in San Francisco, California, as an Agent of Depository.
These securities are physically held in an undivided pool for all California public agency depositors. Under Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a bank or savings and loan association with an “Agent of Depository” has the effect of perfecting the security interest in the name of the local governmental agency. Accordingly, all collateral held by California Agents of Depository is considered to be held for, and in the name of, the local governmental agency.

Investments in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the state of California. LAIF is overseen by the Local Agency Investment Advisory Board, which consists of five members, in accordance with state statute. The state Treasurer’s Office audits the fund annually. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the relative inputs used to measure the fair value of the investments. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 inputs are quoted prices of similar assets in active markets and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2024:

A) General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Description
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan or PERF C) administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS.) The Plan consists of a miscellaneous pool and a safety pool (also referred to as “risk pools”), which are comprised of individual employer miscellaneous and safety rate plans, respectively. Plan assets may be used to pay benefits for any employer rate plan of the safety and miscellaneous pools. Accordingly, rate plans within the safety or miscellaneous pools are not separate plans under generally accepted accounting principles. Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the miscellaneous or safety risk pools. The City participates in four rate plans (two miscellaneous and two safety). Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS’ website, at www.calpers.ca.gov.

Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries.
Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full-time employment.
Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 5 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost-of-living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.
The Plan operates under the provisions of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and the regulations, procedures and policies adopted by the CalPERS Board of Administration. The Plan’s authority to establish and amend the benefit terms are set by the PERL and PEPRA, and may be amended by the California state legislature and in some cases require approval by the CalPERS Board.

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process.
The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contribution requirements are classified as plan member contributions. Employer Contributions to the Plan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 were $12,255,201. The actual employer payments of $10,841,912 made to CalPERS by the City during the measurement period ended June 30, 2024 differed from the City’s proportionate share of the employer’s contributions of $9,423,502 by $1,418,410, which is being amortized over the expected average remaining service lifetime in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple Employer Plan.
B) Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2023, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022 rolled forward to June 30, 2023 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is as follows.

Mortality rates incorporate full generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the 2021 experience study report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short- term and long-term market return expectations. 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 expenses of 10 Basis points.

2 Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study. 1 An expected inflation of 2.30% used for this period.
Change of Assumptions
There were no assumption changes in 2023. Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (June 30, 2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to
6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long- term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. In addition, demographic assumptions and the price inflation assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement dates June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2021, 7.65% for measurement dates June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2016, and 7.50% for measurement date June 30, 2014.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for PERF C was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Information about the pension plan’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and fiduciary net position are presented in CalPERS’ audited financial statements, which are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website, at www.calpers.ca.gov. The plan’s fiduciary net position and additions to/deductions from the plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis used by the pension plan, which is the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the plan. Investments are reported at fair value.

Amortization of Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources
Under GASB 68, gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time.
The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss:
Net difference between
projected and actual earnings
on pension plan investments
5-year straight-line amortization
All other amounts Straight-line amortization over the expected average remaining service lives (EARSL) of all
members that are provided with benefits (active,
inactive and retired) as of the beginning of the
measurement period
The expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired) in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Plan (PERF C).

C) Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability, (Continued)
The EARSL for PERF C for the measurement period ending June 30, 2023 is 3.8 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 600,538 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 160,073 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired) in PERF C. Inactive employees and retirees have remaining service lifetimes equal to 0. Total future service is based on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event other than receiving a cash refund.
D) Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
As of the start of the measurement period (July 1, 2022), the City’s net pension liability was $62,692,810. For the measurement period ending June 30, 2023 (the measurement date), the Local Government incurred a pension expense of $19,987,593. As of June 30, 2024, the City has deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions as follows:

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the OPEB plans’ target asset allocation as of June 30, 2023, are summarized in the following table:

The flood facilities that were previously to be owned, maintained, and operated by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District are to be owned, maintained, and operated by the City.
14) COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT (CFD) BONDS (NONCITY OBLIGATION)
The City has issued special tax bonds for various CFDs, which are payable from special taxes levied on property within the Community Facilities Districts according to a methodology approved by the voters within the District and by the City Council. Neither the faith and credit nor taxing power of the City is pledged to the payment of the bonds. Reserves have been established from the bond proceeds to meet delinquencies should they occur. If delinquencies occur beyond the amounts held in those reserves, the City has no duty to pay the delinquency out of any available funds of the City. The City acts solely as an agent for those paying taxes levied and the bondholders. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining balance on the bonds was $83,550,000.
15) JOINTLY GOVERNED ORGANIZATION
The City, in conjunction with six other governmental entities, created the Southwest Communities Financing Authority (Financing Authority) on November 30, 2004. The Financing Authority was formed to issue bonds for the construction of an animal shelter to be used by the member agencies. The Financing Authority’s board is composed of one member from each participating entity. The City has the following fiscal obligations: debt repayment of any bonds issued, administrative costs, and operation of the animal shelter. The debt service payments and the animal shelter operating costs will be prorated to each member based on the percentage of the animals housed at the facility, on an annual basis. The administrative costs will be borne equally by all members. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City’s share of the payments was $102,499 and was paid from the General Fund.

16) CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
Claims and Lawsuits
Various claims and lawsuits are pending against the City. Although the outcome of these claims and lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the City’s management, on advice of legal counsel, it is unlikely that they will have a material adverse effect on the accompanying finan
cial statements.
The City has received Federal and State funds for specific purposes that are subject to review by the grantor agencies. These programs are subject to audit by the grantor agencies and upon further examination by the grantors, certain costs could be disallowed. The City expects any such amounts to be immaterial.
The decision of Flores v. City of San Gabriel highlighted not only the need for cities to audit their policies and practices related to Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) compliance but also to revisit long held and generally accepted assumptions and practices related to such. In June 2017, the City of Murrieta engaged an employment law firm to conduct an audit of its FLSA regular rate of pay and payroll practices. Through the employment law firm, a forensic accounting analysis has been completed for two labor groups including an analysis and settlement of the underpayment for nonexempt employees. The City has engaged the same employment law firm to conduct an audit of its FLSA regular rate of pay and underpayment for the remaining labor groups.
The estimated amount of remaining construction contract commitments at year-end is $3,830,098.
17) TOWN HALL ASSOCIATION ENDOWMENT
In March 2014, the City received a permanent endowment from the Town Hall Association upon dissolution of the Town Hall Association’s Board. The City maintains the $500,000 principal nonexpendable endowment in the Town Hall Association Permanent nonmajor fund.
The investment earnings on the nonexpendable endowment are to be spent 25% to the Murrieta Friends of the Library, 25% to the Murrieta High School’s Scholarship Foundation (aka Dollar for Scholars), and 50% to the Murrieta Library.
18) TAX ABATEMENTS
In accordance with California Government Code § 53083, the City provides sales tax rebates to a local sales tax generators based on sales tax generated at a site developed within the City of Murrieta. The City entered into an economic development agreement for sales tax rebates with a local sales tax generator in order to retain one of the City’s significant tax- generating business, jobs, and occupancy of land within City boundaries. The rebates are calculated based on the total taxes generated by the business.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City abated local sales tax totaling $240,528.

Changes in Benefit Terms: There were no changes to benefit terms that applied to all members of the Public Agency Pool.
Additionally, the figures above do not include any liability impact that may have resulted from Golden Handshakes that occurred after the June 30, 2021 valuation date, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material to the Public Agency Pool.
Changes in Assumptions: Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions.There were no assumption changes for 2021. For 2020, the Plan adopted a new amortization policy effective with the 2019 actuarial valuation. The new amortization policy shortens the period over which actuarial gains and losses are amortized from 30 years to 20 years with the payments computed as a level dollar amount. In addition, the new policy does not utilize a five-year ramp-up and ramp-down on UAL bases attributable to assumption changes and non-investment gains/losses. The new policy also does not utilize a five-year ramp-down on investment gains/losses. These changes apply only to new UAL bases established on or after June 30, 2019. There were no changes in assumptions in 2019. In 2018, demographic assumptions and inflation rate were changed in accordance to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions December 2017. There were no changes in the discount rate in 2019. In 2017, the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.65 percent to 7.15 percent. In 2016, there were no changes in the discount rate. In 2015, amounts reported reflect an adjustment of the discount rate from 7.5 percent (net of administrative expense) to 7.65 percent (without a reduction for pension plan administrative expense). In 2014, amounts reported were based on the 7.5 percent discount rate.

NOTE 1 BUDGETARY DATA
General Budget Policies
The City Council approves the bi-annual budget submitted by the City Manager prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year. A workshop and public meetings are held prior to its adoption by Council. Supplemental appropriations, where required during the period, are also approved by the Council. There were several supplemental appropriations required during the year. At fiscal year-end, all operating budget appropriations lapse.
Expenditures are monitored at the departmental level for the general fund and the fund level for all other funds with a legally adopted budget. These levels are considered the legal level of control.
Department heads are authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within their departments, within the same fund, with the approval of the City Manager. Transfers of appropriations between departments may be made only by authority of the City Manager. Transfers of appropriations between funds may be made only by authority of the City Council. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the fiscal year for all governmental funds.
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for all governmental funds except for certain special revenue and capital projects funds, which adopt project-length budgets.
A budgetary comparison schedule is not presented for the 2022A LARB debt service fund as no legal budget was adopted for that fund.
Encumbrances
Encumbrances are estimations of costs related to unperformed contracts for goods and services. These commitments are recorded for budgetary control purposes in the General, Special Revenue, and similar governmental funds. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as a committed fund balance. They represent the estimated amount of the expenditure ultimately to result if unperformed contracts in process at year-end are completed.
They do not constitute expenditures or estimated liabilities.
The Developer Agreement, Development Impact Fee, Other Grants, Reimbursement Agreement, TUMF, Federal Grants, Road Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Account Special Revenue funds and the Area Drainage Capital Projects Fund are appropriated on a project length capital improvement budget process.

Notes:
(5) Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all indirect rates applied by the City/Agency preparing the statistical section information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft. Beginning in 2013/14 the Total Direct Rate no longer includes revenue generated from the former redevelopment tax rate areas. Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations are assumed to have been resolved during 2012/13. For the purposes of this report, residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City/Agency in the same proportions as general fund revenue.
Fiscal Year
(1) In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a % of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds. (2) Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all overlapping rates apply to all city property owners. (3) The City's share of 1% levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the city. ERAF general fund tax shifts may not be included in tax ratio figures.
(4) The RDA rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area (TRA) and includes only rate(s) from indebtedness adopted prior to 1989 per California state statute. RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the incremental property values.

*Restatement
(1) The City of Murrieta participates in the Riverside County Teeter program which allows for a 30% advance, one settlement payment for the first installment, a 10% advance and a settlement payment for the second installment, all of which are remitted within the year of levy. One additional settlement payment is made during the subsequent year. After that, data provided by the Riverside County Office of Auditor-Controller for collection of prior year taxes, does not segregate payment information by fiscal year. Therefore, the City is not able to report any additional prior year remittances by specific year of levy.

The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation, however; this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel).
The computations shown above reflects a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the state.
