Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
45 Note 1 – Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of National City, California (the “City”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted of the United States of America (“US GAAP”) as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting St andards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial re porting principles. The more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described below.
A. Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated September 17, 1887 under the general laws of the State of California. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides basic local governmental services including public safety (police and fire), maintenance and constr uction of public improvements, cultural, recreation, planning, zoning, transportation, health services and gene ral administration. In addition, the City operates the Community Development Commission (which formerly included the Morgan Towe rs and Kimball Towers Enterprise Funds). The City sold Kimball Towers and Morgan Towers to two not-for-profit organizations on March 28, 2019. The sale was intended to ensure th e feasibility of the renovation, since not-for-profit organizations have financing sources that are unavailable to a developer such as a City.
In evaluating how to define the City for financial re porting purposes, management has considered all potential component units. The primary criteria for including a poten tial component unit within the reporting entity are the governing body’s financial accountability and a financial benefit or burde n relationship and whether it is misleading to exclude. A primary govern ment is financially accountable and shares a financial benefit or burden relationship if it appoints a voting majority of an organization’s governing body and it is able to impose its will on the organization, or if there is a potential for the organi zation to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government. A primary government may also be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally depende nt on the primary government regardl ess of whether the organization has a separately elected governing board, a governing board appo inted by a higher level of government, or a jointly appointed board, and there is a potential for the organizati on to provide specific financ ial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government.
Blended Component Units
The financial reporting entity consists of the primary government, the City, and its component units. Component units are legally separate entities for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. In addition, component units can be othe r organizations for which the primary government is accountable and their exclusion would cause the reporting en tity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance part of the government’s operation and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. Discretely presents component units, on the other hand, are reported in a separate column in the combined financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the government.
Although the following are legally separate from the City, they have been “blended” as though they are part of the City because the component unit’s governing body is substan tially the same as the City’s and there is a financial benefit or burden relationshi p between the City and the component unit; management of the City has operational responsibilities for the component units; and/or the component units provide services entirely, or almost entirely, to the City or otherwise exclusively, or almost exclus ively, benefits the City, even though it does not provide services directly to it.

A. Reporting Entity (Continued)
Blended Component Units (Continued)
National City Joint Powers Financing Authority
The National City Joint Powers Financing Authority (the “NCJPFA”) was created pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement entered into by and between the City and the CDC on April 16, 1991. The purpose of such agreement was to provide for the financing and construction of a new police facility and a new community center.
The NCJPFA is administered by a commission consisti ng of the members of the City Council and all voting power of the NCJPFA resides in th e commission. The NCJPFA exclusivel y benefits the City. In 2017 the NCJPFA facilitated the lease financing of the 2017 Ener gy Savings Project. There are no separate financial statements available.
Parking Authority of the City of National City
In July 1977, the Parking Authority of the City of Nati onal City (the “Parking Authority”) was activated pursuant to the Parking Law of 1949 for the fi nancing and construction of the Plaza Bon ita Parking Facility. Currently it is used to account for the City’s parking enforcement activ ities and developing solutions to demand for parking in various sections of the City. The City Council is the governing board of th e Authority. The Authority exclusively benefits the City. The capital assets of the Parking Au thority have been include d in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. There are no separate financial statements available.
Community Development Commission of the City of National City
The National City Redevelopment Agency (the “RDA”), pursuant to provisions of the California Health and Safety Code, was established in April 1967 to undertake a nd carry out the redevelopment of certain areas within the City that were determined to be blighted. In 1975 , the City formed the Housing Authority and concurrently established the Community Development Commission (the “CDC”) to oversee both the RDA and the Housing Authority. In 2012, redevelopment agencies throughout th e state of California were dissolved, including the National City RDA. The CDC remains as an active entity with respect to its Housing Authority functions. The City Council is the Governing Board of the CDC. There are no separate financial statements available.
The following specific criteria were used in determining the status of these component units:
Members of the City Council also act as the governin g body of the NCJPFA, the Parking Authority, and the CDC;
The City, the NCJPFA, the Parking Authority, and the CDC are financially interdependent;
The NCJPFA, the Parking Authority, and the CDC are managed by employees of the City, who provide various support functions including financial reporting and investment decisions.
B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of f unds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by pr oviding a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues a nd expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended pur pose and is used to aid ma nagement in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds is maintained in accordance with legal and managerial requirements.

47 Note 1 – Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued)
The Statement of Net Position and Balance Sheet – Govern mental Funds report separate sections for deferred outflows of resources, and deferred inflows of resources, when applicable.
Deferred Outflows of Resources represent outflows of resources (consumption of net assets that applies to future periods) that apply to future periods and that, therefore, will not be recognized as an expense until that time.
Deferred Inflows of Resources represent inflows of resources (acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods) that apply to future periods and that, therefore, are not recognized as revenue until that time.
Government - Wide Financial Statements
The City’s Government-Wide Financial Statements incl ude a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position. These statements present summaries of governmental and business-type activities for the City accompanied by a total column. Fiduc iary activities of the City are not included in these statements.
These financial statements are presented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City’s assets and lia bilities, including capital asset s, as well as infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the acco mpanying Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net position. Under the accrua l basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.
Certain types of transactions are reported as program revenues for the City in three categories:
Charges for services;
Operating grants and contributions;
Capital grants and contributions
Certain eliminations have been made in regards to interfund activities, payables and receivables. All internal balances in the Statement of Net Position have been eliminated except those repr esenting balances between the governmental activities and the business-type activities, wh ich are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the total primary government column. In the Statemen t of Activities and Changes in Net Position, internal service fund transactions have been eliminated; however, those transactions between governmental and business- type activities have not been eliminated. The following interfund activities have been eliminated:
Due to/from other funds;
Advances to/from other funds;
Transfers in/out
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Governmental Fund Financial Statements include a Ba lance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for all major governme ntal funds and non-major funds aggregated. An accompanying schedule is presented to reconcile and explai n the differences in net position as presented in these statements to the net position presented in the Governme nt-Wide Financial Statements. The City has presented all major funds that met the applicable criteria.

B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued)
Governmental Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expend itures and Changes in Fund Balances presents increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period.
Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both “measura ble” and “available”. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or as soon en ough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. The primary reve nue sources, which have been treated as susceptible to accrual by the City, are property tax, sales tax, intergove rnmental revenues and other taxes. Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred.
The Reconciliation of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government-Wide Financial Statements is provided to explain the differences created by the integrated approach of GASB Statement No. 34.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - This is the primary operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all revenues and expenditures that are not required to be accounted for in another fund.
Housing Asset Special Revenue Fund - This fund was established in 2012 pursuant to the redevelopment agency dissolution legislation to account for the assets and activities of the former RDA’s Low-and- Moderate-Income Housing Fund.
Housing Choice Voucher Program (“Section 8”) Special Revenue Fund - This fund is used to account for the activities of Housing Assistance Program. The progr am provides rental assistance to low-income families by subsidizing a portion of the rent directly to land lords on behalf of low-income households. The major revenue source for this fund is Housing Assistance Payments and Administrative Fees.
Sewer Service Special Revenue Fund - This fund is used to account for the collection of sewer connection fees and sewer service charges billed and paid via the County’s annual property tax collection system which are used for the construction and maintenance of the C ity’s sewer system. The major revenue source for this fund is the sewer service charge.
ARPA Special Revenue Fund - This fund is used to account for the proceeds and expenditures of the American Recovery Plan Act funding received by the City.
Other Special Revenue Fund - This represents a combination of minor and less active funds that the City has combined for reporting purposes. The major revenue s ources consist of intergovernmental revenues, user- charge fees, franchise fees, and development impact fees.
Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund - This fund is used to account for the activities of the development of a viable urban comm unity by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons with low and moderate incomes.
POB Debt Service Fund - This fund is used to account for the sources and uses of and debt service on the 2021 Pension Obligation Bonds.

Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements include a Statemen t of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, and a Statement of Cash Fl ows. All of the City’s proprietary funds are internal service funds. A column representing internal service funds is presented in these statements. Internal service fund balances and activities have been combined with the gove rnmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The City’s internal service funds include sev en individual funds which provide services directly to other City funds. These areas of service include Facilities Maintenance, Liability Insurance, Information Systems Maintenance, Office Equipment Depreciation, Tel ecommunications, Vehicle Replacement, and Vehicle Maintenance.
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses a nd Changes in Net Position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total Net Position. Under th e accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are rec ognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.
In these funds, receivables have been recorded as revenue and provisions have been made for uncollectible amounts.
Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are those re venues that are generated fro m the primary operations of the fund. All other revenues are reported as non-operating revenues. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as non-operating expenses.
The City reports the following proprietary funds (all are internal service funds) that are funded by user departments on a cost reimbursement basis:
Facilities Maintenance Fund - This fund is used to account for the cost of maintaining all City-owned buildings in a clean, safe, workable, and pleasant condition.
Liability Insurance Fund - This fund is used to account for the co sts of maintaining the City’s Worker’s Compensation and liability insurance programs.
Information Systems Maintenance Fund - This fund is used to account for the costs to maintain and replace City information technology software and hardware and related equipmen t as well as pay for the City staff that provide support to other City departments on a daily basis.
Office Equipment Depreciation Fund - This fund is used to account fo r the costs to replace City office equipment.
Telecommunications Revolving Fund - This fund is used to account for the costs of maintaining the City’s telecommunication systems.
Motor Vehicle Service Fund - This fund is used to account for the C ity’s costs of preventative maintenance and repairs for its fleet, including police, fire, ge neral administrative, park, sewer, and public works equipment.
Vehicle Replacement Fund - This fund is used to account for the costs to lease or purchase new or replacement City fleet vehicles and related equipment.

Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary fund financial statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The City’s fiduciary funds represent cu stodial funds and private purpose trust funds. Both the custodial funds and the private purpose trust funds use the economic resources measurement focus and are accounted for on the full accrual basis of accounting.
Fiduciary fund types are accounted fo r according to the nature of the fund. The City’s Custodial funds (Cobra Insurance and Miscellaneous Developer’s Deposits) are pur ely custodial in nature. These funds are used to account for money and property held by the City as trustee or custodian.
The City has one active private purpose trust fund, the Redevelopment Obligations Retirement Fund, which is used to report the assets, liabilities, and activities of the Successor Agency to the former redevelopment agency.
The Successor Agency to the Community Development Co mmission as the National City Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) was created by the City Council of National City (City Council) in January 2012. It was established pursuant to Assembly Bill X1 26. Its purpose is to expeditiously wind down the affairs of the dissolved Redevelopment Agency. The governing body of the Successor Agency is comprised of the members of the City Council. Certain actions of th e Successor Agency Board are subject to review by the Countywide Oversight Board and the California State Depa rtment of Finance. The Successor Agency has been included in the accompanying basic fina ncial statements as a private purpose tr ust fund. Its results of operations are presented on the Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position.
C. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment pur poses. The City considers pooled cash and investment amounts, with original maturities of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.
Highly liquid market investments with maturities of one y ear or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is used as fair valu e for those securities for which market quotations are readily available.
The statement of cash flows requires presentation of “cash and cash equivalents”. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all proprie tary fund pooled cash and i nvestments as “cash and cash equivalents”, as such funds are available to the various funds as needed.
Certain disclosure requirements, if applicable, for deposit and investment risks in the following areas:
Interest rate risk
Credit risk
- Overall
- Custodial credit risk
- Concentration of credit risk
Foreign currency risk
In addition, other disclosures are specified including use of certain methods to present deposits and investments, highly sensitive investments, credit quality at year-end and other disclosures.

51 Note 1 – Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
D. Fair Value Measurement
U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes disclosures about fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specif ied, are recorded at fair value in the Statements of Net Position and are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The levels of inputs are as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quot ed prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Investments that don’t fit into one of the three levels of inputs are described as “uncategorized.”
E. Leases
The City is a lessor for leases of land and recognizes leases receivable and deferred inflows of resources in the financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the lease receivable.
At the commencement of a lease, the lease receivable is measured at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease rece ivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflows of resources are initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflows of resources are recognized as revenue over th e life of the lease term in a systematic and rational method.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City dete rmines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts.
The City uses the average of the Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”) rate and the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) provided by the City’s financial institutions at July 1, 2021 for existing leases or the current rate at the time a new lease is executed.
The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease plus any option periods that are likely to be exercised.
Lease receipts included in the measurement of the l ease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circum stances that would require a remeasureme nt of its lease and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that ar e expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.

52 Note 1 – Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
F. Inventories and Prepaid items
Inventories are valued on an average-cost basis which is adjusted to annual physical counts or estimates under the consumption method of accounting and are recorded in the internal service funds. Prepaid items are items the City has paid in advance and will receive future benefit from.
G. Restricted Assets
Fiscal agents acting on behalf of the City hold investme nt funds placed in irrevocable IRS Section 115 pension and OPEB trusts. These funds are restricted by the trust ag reements and are to be used only for pension and/or OPEB contributions or benefit payments.
H. Interfund Transactions
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” or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances out standing between the governmental activities and business- type activities are reported in the Governmental-Wide Financial Statements as “internal balances.”
I. Capital Assets
Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated hi storical cost if actual historical cost was not available.
Donated capital assets are valued at their estimated acquis ition value on the date donated. City policy has set the capitalization threshold for reporting capital assets at $5, 000 (including infrastructure assets). Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements 10 - 50 years
Machinery and equipment 2 - 20 years
Infrastructure 25 - 75 years
Radio rights 20 years
For all infrastructure systems, the City elected to use the basic approach for infrastructure reporting. The City defines infrastructure as the basic physi cal assets that allow the City to f unction. The assets include the streets, water purification and distribution system, sewer collecti on and treatment system, parks and recreation, lands and improvements, storm water conveyance system, and buildi ngs combined with the site amenities such as parking and landscaped areas used by the City in the conduct of its business. Each major in frastructure system can be divided into subsystems. For example, the street syst em can be subdivided into pavement, curb and gutters, sidewalks, medians, streetlights, traffic control devic es (signs, signals and pavement markings), landscaping and land.
These subsystems were not delineated in the basic fina ncial statements. The appropr iate operating department maintains information regarding the subsystems.
The governmental fund financial statements do not pr esent capital assets but capital assets are shown in the Reconciliation of Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position.

J. Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The reported amount is classified as nonspendable net position in the General Fund and in the Housing Special Revenue Fund.
K. Compensated Absences
In government-wide financial statements and the propri etary fund financial statements, compensated absences are recorded as expenses and liabilities as incurred.
In governmental fund financial statements, compensated absences are recorded as expe nditures in the years paid, and it is the City’s policy to liquida te any unpaid vacation, sick leave, or compensatory time at year-end from future resources rather than currently available and e xpendable resources. The General Fund and internal service funds are typically used to liquidate compensated absences.
L. Long-Term Debt
Government-Wide Financial Statements
Long-term debt and other financial obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate funds.
Bond premiums and discounts are deferre d and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable premium or discount. Issuance costs are expensed when incurred.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements do not present long-term de bt, but long-term debt is s hown in the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position.
M. Property Taxes
Property taxes are payable by property owners in two installments: November 1 and February 1 of each year.
Property taxes become delinquent on December 10 an d April 10, for the first and second installments, respectively. The lien date is January 1. The County of San Diego, California (County) bills and collects property taxes and remits them to the City according to a payment schedule established by the County.
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied, provided the taxes are received within 60 days after the end of the fiscal year. Property taxes receive d after this date are not considered available as a resource that can be used to finance the current year operations of the City and, therefore, are not recorded as revenue until collected. No allowance for doubtful accounts w as considered necessary because the City participates in the California T eeter Plan whereby local agencies receive 100% of their current secured and unsecured tax levy in exchange for allowing the sponsoring c ounty to retain all inter est and penalties on any late property tax payments.

N. Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue recorded in the Go vernment-Wide Statement of Net Pos ition for governmental activities and the governmental fund financial statem ents consists of federal and stat e capital grants, representing voluntary non-exchange transactions, for which advance payments have been received from the provider for which eligibility requirements, other than timing requirements, have not been satisfied.
Unearned revenue recorded in the Government-Wide Stat ement of Net Position for business-type activities and the proprietary fund financial statemen ts generally consist of program fees collected from customers prior to the statement of net position date for recreation programs that be gin in the next fiscal year or donations for capital or work projects, for which the related expenses have not yet been incurred.
O. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pens ion liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pens ion expense, information about the fi duciary net position of the pension plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduci ary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accord ance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The following timeframes are used for pension reporting:
CalPERS:
Valuation Date June 30, 2022
Measurement Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Period July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023
Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liab ility and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized am ounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categor ized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expe nse. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The diff erence between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over five years. All other amounts are amorti zed straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.
P. Other Postemployment Benefits
For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, defe rred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, informa tion about the fiduciary net position of the plan and additions to/deductions from the plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plan.
The following timeframes are used for OPEB reporting:
Valuation Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024

Q. Net Position
In government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, net position is categorized as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, plus defe rred outflows of resources attributable to their acquisition, reduced by the outstanding balances of debt th at are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets and deferred inflows of resources attributable to their acquisition.
Restricted – This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets.
Unrestricted – This component of net positi on is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of res ources that are not included in the de termination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position.
R. Fund Balances
In governmental fund financial statements, fund balances are categorized as follows:
Nonspendable – Items that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items and inventories, or items that are legally or contractually re quired to be maintained intact, such as principal of an endowment or revolving loan funds.
Restricted – Restricted fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions. This includes externally imposed restrictions by creditors, such as through debt covenants, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, as well as restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed – Committed fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources, the use of which is constrained by limitations that the government imposes upon itself at its highest level of decision making, normally the governing body and that remain binding unless removed in the same manner. Adoption of a resolution by the City Council is required to commit resources or rescind the commitment. The action that constitutes the most binding constraint (i.e. ordinan ce) of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, the City Council, commits fund balance for specific purposes. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally.
Assigned – Assigned fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources reflecting the government’s intended use of resources. Assignment of resources can be done by the highest level of decision making or by a committee or official designated for that purpose. Th e City Council has authorized the City Manager to determine and define the amount of assigned fund balances.
Unassigned – This amount is for any portion of the fund ba lances that do not fall into one of the above categories. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds, it is not appropriate to report a positive un assigned fund balance amount because all of the fund balance is assumed to be either nons pendable, restricted, committed, or assigned for the purposes of the respective funds. However, in other govern mental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, co mmitted, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.

S. Spending Policy
Government-Wide Financial Statements and the Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position are available, the City’s policy is to apply restricted net position first.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
When expenditures are incurred for purposes where only unrest ricted fund balances are av ailable, the City uses the unrestricted resources in accord ance with the City’s budget and the purposes for which the committed, assigned, and unassigned balances have been reported.
T. Use of Estimates
The preparation of basic financial statements in conf ormity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts a nd disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

A. Deposits
The carrying amount of the City’s cash deposits was $27,702,486 at June 30, 2024. Bank balances before reconciling items were $30,932,507 at that date, the total amount of which was insured or collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institutions in the City’s name as discussed below.
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City’s cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's name.
The fair value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California law also allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging fi rst trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the City’s total cash deposits. The City may waive colla teral requirements for cash deposits, which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The City, however, has not waived the collateralization requirements.
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required to be held by fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures. In terest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated on an accounting period basis to the various funds based on the period-end cash and investment balances.
Interest income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.

C. Fair Value Measurement (Continued)
Debt and equity securities classified in Level 1 (where applicable) are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. Debt and equity securities classified in Level 2 are valued using the following approaches:
• U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. corporate securities, U.S. agency securities, supranationals, commercial paper, and collateralized mortgage obligations: quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active;
• Medium term notes: quoted prices for similar securities in active markets.
D. Risk Disclosures
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, the greater the sensitivity its fair value is to changes in market interest rates. As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates, the City’s investment policy provides that final maturities of secur ities cannot exceed five years, except as otherwise stated in the investment policy. Specific maturities of investments depend on liquidity needs.
As of June 30, 2024, the City had the following investments and maturities:

D. Risk Disclosures (Continued)
Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fu lfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. To be eligible to receive City money, a bank, savings association, federal association, or federally insured industrial loan company shall have received an ove rall rating of not less than "satisfactory" in its most recent evaluation by the appropriate fede ral financial supervisory agency of its record of meeting the credit needs of California's communities, including low-and-moderate-income neighborhoods.
The City’s investments are rated by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations as follows:

Investment Type
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counter party, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral secur ities that are in the possession of an outside party. All securities, with the exception of LAIF and other pooled investments, are held by a third-party custodian (BNY Western Trust). BNY is a registered member of the Federal Reserve Bank.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s investment policy contains limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. Investments in any one issuer that represent 5% or more of total City’s investments are as follows:

E. Investments in Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
The City is a participant in LAIF, which is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. As of June 30, 2024, the City had $40,739,153 invested in LAIF. LAIF determines fair value on its investment por tfolio based on market qu otations for those securities where market quotations are readily available and based on amortized cost or best estimate for those securities where market value is not readily available. LAIF is reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
F. Investments in San Diego County Investment Pool
The City also participates in the San Diego County Treasu rer’s Pooled Money Fund which is administered by the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office. At June 30, 2024, the City had $39,011,179 invested in the pool. The fair value of Commission’s investment in the pool is reported at amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by the County Treasurer for the entire portf olio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). Earnings realized on investments based on amortized cost are distributed to Investment Pool participants. Section 27013 of the California Government Code au thorizes the Treasurer’s Office to deduct administrative fees related to investments. The net realized earnings on investments are apportioned to the Investment Pool participants quarterly, based on the pa rticipants’ average daily balances. The County’s annual financial report for the Pool can be obtained from th e Treasurer-Tax Collector at 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 162, San Diego, California, 92101 and can also be accessed at http://www.sdtreastax.com.

Pledged Revenues
The Successor Agency has pledged tax revenues to the repayment of the RDA’s debts transferred to it on February 1, 2012 through the final maturity of the Bonds, or early retirement of the Bonds, whichever comes first.
Tax revenues consist of property tax revenues allocated to the Redevelopm ent Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) for the Successor Agency that is maintained by the County of San Die go Auditor and Controller. The amounts so allocated are those that would have been allocated to the RDA had the R DA not been dissolved. The Auditor and Controller (A&C) then distributes RPTTF revenues to the Successor Agency based on Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules (ROPS) as approved by the Californi a State Department of Finance (DOF) and after deducting amounts for A&C administrative costs and amount s required to be paid under tax-sharing agreements unless the payment of such amounts has been subordinated to payment of debt services on the Bonds. Each ROPS covers a one fiscal year period and includes the applicable debt service payments on the Bonds.
In fiscal year 2024, property tax revenue in the am ount of $30,226,305 was deposited to the RPTTF for the Successor Agency. After deductions for County admini strative fees and pass-through payments, the RPTTF revenue available for distribution to the Successor Agency was $23,169,298. The actual amount of RPTTF revenue authorized by the State Department of Finance to be distributed to the Successor Agency was $3,950,251.
This distribution took into account previously allocated , but unspent RPTTF in previous ROPS periods and did not affect the ability of the Successor Ag ency to meet its debt service obligation. Total debt service for all Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds (TARBs) in fiscal year 2024 was $4,058,091, 20% of th e RPTTF revenue available for distribution to the Successor Agency . Beyond fiscal year 2024 and through final maturity in fiscal year 2033, these annual payments will gradually d ecline from $4.1 million in fiscal year 2023 to $3.3 million in fiscal year 2033. The percentage of available R PTTF required for debt service will also gradually drop as total payments decrease and the amount of available RPTTF increases because of expected growth in assessed values attributable to the former redevelopment area.

Proposition A Capital Projects Fund – The Proposition A Capital Projects Fund had a deficit of $(1,838,608) resulting from capital expenses for the year ended June 30, 2024 exceeding revenues. The deficit will be eliminated via future transfers in from other funds and receipt of additional Proposition A funding.
The Successor Agency to the Community Development Comm ission as the National City Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) Private-Purpose Trust Fund – The Successor Agency to th e Community Development Commission as the National City Redevelopment Agency Pr ivate-Purpose Trust Fund had an accumulated deficit of $(21,235,250). The deficit w ill be eliminated over the next ten years through revenues received from the RPTTF to pay for debt service on the 2017 Series A and B Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds.
Governmental Activities – At June 30, 2024, the City had an unrestrict ed net position deficit of $(44,032,534) on the Statement of Activities. This deficit incorporates th e calculations resulting from the implementation of GASB Statement 68 (Net Pension Liability) in fiscal year 2015 and the implementation of GASB Statement 75 (Total OPEB Liability) in 2017. The City is addr essing the portion of the deficit attr ibutable to the GASB 68 reporting requirements through meeting its annu al required pension contributions to CalPERS and has established an IRS Section 115 pension trust. In addition, in November 2021, the City issued pension obligation bonds and delivered the proceeds to CalPERS to pay off approx imately $83,260,000 of the City’s anticip ated unfunded liability. The City is addressing the OPEB liability by establishing an IRS Section 115 OPEB trust for approximately half of the liability while continuing to budget and pay for annual OPEB costs out of current resources.

76 Note 10 – Self-Insurance Accrued Liabilities
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to tort s; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; natural disasters; and workers’ compensation clai ms. A self-insurance (internal service) fund is used to account for the City’s insurance programs. Operating revenues of this fund represent payments from other City funds and are based upon estimated umbrella insurance pr emium expenses, self-insurance losses and other operating expenses.
The San Diego Pooled Insurance Program Authority (SANDPIPA) a joint powers authority (JPA), of which the City was a member, ceased operations on June 30, 2016. On July 1 st, 2016 the City became self-insured for General
Liability claims up to $250,000. This m eans that the City pays all claims up to $250,000 directly from City funds.
Claims between the self-insured retention (SIR) of $250,0 00 up to $5,000,000 are covered by Public Risk Innovation, Solutions and Management (formerly California State A ssociation of Counties - Excess Insurance Authority). The next layer of coverage is the Excess Layer which provides $20,000,000 and the final layer of coverage is the Optional Layer which provides $25,000,000. The tota l amount of coverage for the Genera l Liability Program is $50,000,000.
PRISM is located in Folsom, California. All the coverages are administered by PRISM.
The City is completely self-insured for unemployment claims.
The City is self-insured for Workers’ Compensation claims up to $500,000 per occurrence. Claims between the self- insured retention level of $500,000 and $5,000,000 are c overed by PRISM which is reinsured by Great American.
Claims in excess of $5,000,000 up to $50,000,000 are c overed by PRISM which is reinsured by ACE American Insurance Company. Any statutory benefit in excess of $50,000,000 is covere d by Liberty Insurance Corporation.
There is no statutory limit for benefits paid on Workers’ Compensation claims.
During the current year, there were no significant reductions in insurance coverage from the prior year. For each of the past three fiscal years, the settlements have not exceeded the City’s insurance coverage.
At June 30, 2024, the City had an accr ued amount of $12,933,0 00 of workers’ compensation and general liability claims representing estimates of amounts to be paid for act ual and incurred but not reported claims based upon past experience, modified for current trends and information. Allocated claim adjustment e xpenses are included in claim liabilities. While the ultimate amount of losses incurred throu gh June 30, 2024 is dependent on future developments, based upon information from the City Attorney, outside c ounsel and others involved with the administration of the programs, City management believes that the aggregate accr ual is adequate to cover such losses. For the past three years, no settlements or claims payments have exceeded the amount of the applicable coverage. For the past two fiscal years, the changes in the City’s liability for claims payable are summarized as follows:
The aggregate change in the balance of claims payable as recorded in the Governmental Activities were as follows:
2024 2023 2022
Claims liabilities - beginning balance 11,292,000 $ 10,966,000 $ 11,948,000 $ Incurred claims, representing the total of a provision

B. CalPERS Pension Plans
Plan Description
Substantially all City employees working the equivalent of 1,000 hours or mo re per fiscal year are eligible to participate in the Safety Plan and Miscellaneous Plan Agent multiple-employer defined benefit plans administered by California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers. Benefit Provisions under the Plans are established by State statutes within the Public Employee’s Retiremen t Law. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regard ing benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website. Copies of the CalPERS annual financial report may be obtained from the CalPERS Executive Office – 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. A classic CalPERS member or PEPRA Safety member beco mes eligible for Service Retirement upon attainment of age 55 with at least 5 years of credited service. PEPRA miscellaneous members become eligible for service retirement upon attainme nt of age 62 with at least 5 years of service. The service retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to the pr oduct of the benefit factor, years of service, and final compensation. The final compensation is the monthly average of the member's highest 36 or 12 consecutive months' fulltime equivalent monthly pay. Retirement benefits for classic miscellaneous employees are calculated as 2% to 2.7% of the average final 12 months comp ensation. Retirement benef its for PEPRA miscellaneous employees are calculated as 2% of the average final 36 months compensation. Retirement benefits for classic safety employees are calculated as 3% of the average fi nal 12 months compensation. Retirement benefits for PEPRA safety employees are calculated as 2%-3% of the average final 36 months compensation.
Participants are eligible for non-industrial disability retirement if they become disabled and have at least five years of credited service. There is no special age requirement . The standard non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent of final compensation, multiplied by service.
Industrial disability benefits are not offered to misce llaneous employees. The City provides industrial disability retirement benefit to safety employees. The industrial disab ility retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 50% of final compensation.
An employee's beneficiary may receive the basic death be nefit if the employee dies while actively employed. The employee must be actively employed with the City to be e ligible for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other pre-retirement d eath benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5 percent per y ear, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximu m of six months' salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death.
Upon the death of a retiree, a one-time lump sum paym ent of $500 will be made to the retiree's designated survivor(s), or to the retiree's estate.
Benefit terms provide for annual cost-o f-living adjustments to each employ ee’s retirement allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis by two percent.

Employees Covered – At June 30, 2022, the valuation date, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms for each plan:
Miscellaneous Safety
Active employees 172 123
Transferred and terminated employees 259 85
Retired employees and beneficiaries 335 243
Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Em ployees’ Retirement Law (“PERL”) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following no tice of a change in the rate. The tota l 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 employ ees during the year (the “normal cost” rate), with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined normal cost rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the measurement period ended June 30, 2023, the average active miscella neous and safety employee contribution rates were 8% and 9% of annual pay, respectively, and the employer’s normal cost contribution rates were 12.40% and 22.51% of miscellaneous and safety employee annual payroll, respectively. The employer pays the annual amount required to address the plan’s unfunded accrued liability.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the employer contributions, including for the unfunded accrued liability, were:

Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability is m easured as the total pension liability, l ess 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 shown on the following page.

Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.50%
Payroll growth 2.75%
Salary Increases Varies by Entry Age and Service
Investment Rate of Return
M ortality Rate
Post Retirement Benefit Increase
7.00% net of pension plan investment and administrative expenses; includes Inflation
Based on the 2017 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 1997 to Contract COLA up to 2.75% until Purchasing Power Protection Allowance Floor on Purchasing Power applies, 2.75% thereafter.
The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2022 valuations were based on the results of a 2021 CalPERS Experience Study. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website.
Changes of Assumptions
There were no changes of assumptions for the measurement period ended June 30, 2023.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90 percent. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of the discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a di scount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. The tests revealed the assets woul d not run out. Therefore, the current 6.90 percent discount rate is appropriate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not deemed necessary. The long- term expected discount rate of 6.90 percent is applie d to all plans in the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund (PERF). The cash flows used in the testing were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called “GASB Crossove r Testing Report” that can be obt ained at CalPERS website under the GASB 68 section.

Net Pension Liability (Continued)
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, staff took into account both short-term and long-te rm market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund (PERF) cash flows. Taking into account historical return s of all the Public Employees Retirement Funds’ asset classes (which includes the agent plan and two cost-s haring plans or PERF A, B, and C funds), expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nom inal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each PERF fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at th e same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long- term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest quarter of one percent.
The table below reflects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determin e the discount rate and asset allocation. These geometric rates of return are net of administrative expenses.
The long-term expected rate of return by asset class for the measurement period ended June 30, 2023 was as follows:
Strategic
Allocation Real Return
Global equity - cap-weighted 30.00% 4.45%
Global equity - non-cap-weighted 12.00% 3.84%

Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City recogni zed pension expense in the amounts of $5,864,126 and $10,311,513, for the Miscellaneous and Safety plans, respectively.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of th e gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized over five years straight-lin e. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members th at are provided with benefits (active, inactive and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.
The Expected Average Remaining Serv ice Lifetime (“EARSL”) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, in active, and retired) in the risk pool. The EARSLs for the Miscellaneous and Safety plans, respectively, for th e 2022-2023 measurement period are 2.5 and 3.3 years, respectively, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 1,902 and 1,490, respectively, (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 766 and 451, respectively, (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired).

The amount in the Section 115 Pension Trust reserve as of June 30, 2024 was $7,497,713.
2) Section 115 OPEB Trust – represents funds that may be used only for other post-employment benefit (OPEB)-related costs and only upon the direction of City Council.

The amount in the Section 115 OPEB Trust reserve as of June 30, 2024 was $3,539,380.
3) Economic Contingency Reserve – represents funds that are set-aside for use only in exceptional circumstances such as catastrophic events that could negatively im pact the financial condition of the City .

The amount of the Facilities Maintenan ce Reserve as of June 30, 2024 was $2,880,000 and is equal to the target level.
5) Unassigned Fund Balance – The City’s policy is to maintain an unassigned fund balance equal to 10% of a single year’s budgeted General Fund operating expenditu res. Amounts in excess of the target level will be used to increase or replenish other reserves (with prio rity given to the Economic Contingency and Facilities Maintenance reserves), to set aside resources for speci fic one-time uses, or as a funding source for one-time expenditures included in the annual budget or for needs that arise subsequent to budget adoption. As of June 30, 2024, the unassigned fund balance was $26,654,907 which is above the target level of $6.1 million.

Budgetary Information
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
95 The City follows these procedures in establishing the bud getary data reflected in the required supplementary information and other supplementary information budgetary comparison schedules:
The City Council annually adopts a budget for operating and capital project expenditures. The annual budget includes all proposed expenditures and inter-fund transfers, and the means of financing them. The City Council also approves any amendments to appropriations throughout the year, ge nerally at the mid-year budget review in February. The legal level of budgetary control is the fund level. The budget figures used in the required supplementary information are both original and final budgeted amounts. The final budget amount includes the original budget plus any amendments adopted during the year and any amounts en cumbered from the prior y ear for capital projects or outstanding purchase orders.
Formal budgetary integration is employe d as a management control device. Commitments for materials and services, such as purchase orders and contracts, are recorded dur ing the year as encumbrances to assist in controlling expenditures. Appropriations which are unencumbered lapse at year end.
Budgets for the General Fund, special revenue funds, a nd debt service funds are adopted on a basis substantially consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, actual revenue and expenditures can be compared with related budgeted amounts without any significant reconciling items.
Under Article XIIIB of the California C onstitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), the City is restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from the proceeds of taxes, and if proceeds of taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the Stat e Controller, returned to the taxpayers through revised tax rates or revised fee schedules, or an excess in one year may be offset against a deficit in the following year.
Further, Section 5 of Article XIIIB allows the City to d esignate a portion of fund balance for general contingencies to be used in future years without limitation.

The ERAF portion of the City's Levy has been subtracted where knowns. 4 Redevelopment Rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area and only includes 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. The Approval of ABX1 26 eliminated Redevelopment from the State of California for the fiscal year 2012/13 and years thereafter. 5 Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct 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 purpose of this report, residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City/Agency in the same proportions as general fund revenue.
Fiscal Year
(Rate Per $100 of Taxable Value)
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 within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds.

EXPLANATION:
BACKGROUND
As part of the City of National City’s Strategic Plan objective to provide consistent financial reports, this staff report to City Council presents an update on the City’s financial operations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
DISCUSSION
Budgets are projections based on known and anticipated future revenues and expenditures.
Throughout the year, staff monitor and analyze revenues and expenditures, develop projections, and provide periodic financial reports to the City Council, City Manager, and department directors.
The totals presented herein for fiscal year 202 5 are a summary of the actual revenues and expenditures, and their impact on fund balance compared to the corresponding budgeted amounts for the year. The amounts in this report are unaudited and subject to change upon completion of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
Fiscal Year 2025
The fiscal year 202 5 adopted budget projected the use of $4.9 million of the General Fund’s unassigned fund balance. After a review of the fiscal year’s revenues and expenditures through June 30, 2025, the use of fund balance has increased to $5.0 million. The variances between budgeted and actual revenues and expenditures , and the impacts on fund balance are summarized below. Further, staff has determined that certain year-end budget adjustments were necessary and seeks ratification of the adjustments described in the Expenditures and Budget Adjustments section below and detailed in Exhibit A.
Revenues
The City receives revenues from various sources, some of which, such as taxes and fees, provide unrestricted cash that may be used at the City’s discretion. Other revenues are reserved for specified purposes, for example, grant funds received for capital projects.
