Memorandum
Date: December 13, 2022
To: City of Newman City Council
From: Kathryn Reyes, Director of Public Works
Agenda Item: 8.d.
Subject: Agenda Item No. 8.d. - Authorize San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SJREC GSA) to submit grant application to the California Department of Water Resources to obtain grant funding for projects under the 2021 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act Grant Program and Authorize the SJREC GSA to execute all documents.
In 2014, the Governor passed legislation creating the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) to provide local groundwater sustainability agencies with the authority and technical and financial assistance necessary to sustainable manage groundwater.
The City of Newman proposed a project for funding under the 2021 Sustainable Groundwater Management Grant Program SGMA Implementation Grant that would plan, design and install a groundwater recharge project in Barrington Park, a project that meets a goal of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Plans.
A resolution is required to authorize the San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors Ground Water Sustainability Agency (SJREC GSA) to submit the grant on our behalf and also authorized the SJREC GSA to execute the grant documents.
The proposed project is an infiltration gallery under the Barrington Park grass area with the goal of recharging the Upper Aquifer of the Delta-Mendota Subbasin and maintaining groundwater levels in that aquifer for shallower groundwater users. The Newman Stormwater Infiltration Gallery project will provide direct benefits to the City itself, a designated Severely Disadvantaged Community. The City relies on the underlying aquifer as its sole drinking and domestic water supply, the project will provide direct benefits in improving the quantity and quality of the aquifer for sustainable use for this community.
The preliminary cost estimate for the entire project is $630,000 and has a required match of $30,000.
The source of the match would be a combination of the City's Water and Wastewater Funds.

BACKGROUND:
The Newman City Code (NCC) Title 7 Fire Regulations was last updated during the release of the 2019 edition of the California Fire Code (CFC). During this time, the regulations primarily amended the NCC to reflect necessary fire code changes. Since the CFC is on a three-year revision cycle, Title 7 of the NCC (Fire Regulations) is outdated.

At the November gth City Council meeting, staff presented the Ordinance to the Council and responded to questions. Following the presentation and Council questions, the Council motioned to waive the first reading and introduction of the said Ordinance and voted to unanimously.
ANALYSIS:
The California legislature delegated authority to various state agencies, boards, commissions, and departments to create building regulations to implement the State's statutes. The building regulations, or standards, have the same force of law. The California Building Standards Code applies to occupancies in the State of California as annotated.
As a result of said implementation and the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code, the following amendments are proposed:
•!• Chapter 07.01.010 Members - Appointments. Renamed Prevention Inspector to Fire Prevention Specialist.

City Council Meeting
of December 13, 2022
A RESOLUTION RECEIVING AND ACCEPTING THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL
STATEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT AUDITS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council approve Resolution No. 2022- receiving and accepting the General Purpose Financial Statement and Transportation Development Act audits for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
Each year the City's financial records are audited by an independent Certified Public Accounting firm. This year R.J. Ricciardi, Inc performed the audit. Managing Partner Michael O'Connor was the lead on this audit. Using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, they reviewed our financial records and issue audited financial statements along with their Independent Auditor's Report. These reports are used by the Council, the public, and Bond Rating Agencies to evaluate the fiscal condition of the City.
ANALYSIS:
Prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, staff projected a General Fund budget deficit of $(719,767). The Financial Statements audit shows the City ofNewman General Fund ending balance at $4,345,334. This figure is an increase from the beginning fund balance of $4, 155,480 by $189,854; an improvement of $909,621 over our projected deficit from the beginning of the year.
General Fund revenues originally were budgeted at $5,721,961 (including Transfers In). The City's General Fund revenues at the end of the fiscal year were $6,201,248; which is a $479,287 improvement. The majority of that increase was from revenues from property tax, sales tax and charges for services.
General Fund expenditures originally were budgeted $6,443,728 (including Transfers out). The City's General Fund expenditures at the end of the fiscal year were $6,011,394; which is a $432,334 reduction. A large portion of that reduction came from Public Safety, which was $366,023 below budget. A more detailed analysis is found in the Management's Discussion and Analysis and Notes of the financial statements.
Pages 1 and 2 of the annual financial report include the auditor's report on internal controls, and on compliance and other matters. The auditors did not identify any deficiencies in internal controls that would be considered material weaknesses. They also report that their tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters. The Transportations Development audit, on page 61, states that funds were accounted for in conformance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the TDA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the audit was budgeted and came in at the budgeted amount.
CONCLUSION:
The audit is considered an unqualified opinion. An unqualified opinion is the best opinion an independent auditor can give and this is what we want and would expect. Michael O'Connor, from R.J Ricciardi, Inc., will be at the Council meeting to further discuss the audit findings with you. Staff recommends Council approve Resolution No. 2022- receiving and accepting the General Purpose Financial Statement and Transportation Development Act audits for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2022.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Honorable
Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Newman
Newman, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, of the City of Newman, California as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise City of Newman's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Newman, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position and where applicable, cash flows thereof, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Newman, 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 a Matter
Implementation of New Accounting Standards
As discussed in Notes 1 and 3D to the financial statements, City of Newman implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87, Leases, which became effective for the year ended June 30, 2022 and had material effects on the financial statements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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 City of Newman'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.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Newman - Page 3
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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Unites States of America 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Unites States of America and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in tl e financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Newman's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions r events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about City of Newman'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 udit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis, and other required supplementary information as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of the financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise City of Newman's basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements 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. - 2 -
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Newman - Page 3
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required fry Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 15, 2022, on our consideration of the City of Newman's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, 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 City of Newman's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City of Newman's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)

The following discussion provides readers of the City of Newman's financial statements a narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Newman for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Please read this document in conjunction with the accompanying Basic Financial Statements.
The City of Newman (the City) General Fund revenues increased over the previous year. Property tax revenues are up over the prior year. Revenues from Sales Taxes increased by 2.0%. General Fund Revenues increased in all areas with the exception of Intergovernmental. The largest revenue increases came from Charges for Services, Other Revenues and Other Tax & Franchise. The main reason for the increase in revenues was that prior years suffered from declines due to the COVID-19 pandemic from which the economy is now resuming.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
The Basic Financial Statements
The Basic Financial Statements comprise the Entity-wide Financial Statements and the Fund · Financial Statements; these two sets of financial statements provide two different views of the City's financial activities and financial position.
The Entity-wide Financial Statements provide a longer-term view of the City's activities as a whole, and comprise the Statement of Net position and the Statement of Activities. The Statement of Net Position provides information about the financial position of the City as a whole, including all of its capital assets and long-term liabilities on the full accrual basis, similar to that used by corporations.
The Statement of Activities provides information about all of the City's revenues and all of its expenses, also on the full accrual basis, with the emphasis on measuring revenues net of expenses of each of the City's programs. The Statement of Activities explains in detail the change in Net position for the year.
All of the City's activities are grouped into Government Activities and Business-type Activities, as explained below. The amounts in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are separated into Governmental Activities and Business-type Activities in order to provide a summary of these two activities for the City as a whole.
The Fund Financial Statements report the City's operations in more detail than the Entity-wide statements and focus primarily on the short-term activities of the City's General Fund and other Major Funds. The Fund Financial Statements measure only current revenues and expenditures and fund balances; they exclude capital assets, long-term debt and other long-term amounts.
Major Funds account for the major financial activities of the City and are presented individually, while the activities of Non-major Funds are presented in summary, with subordinate schedules (located after the Notes section) presenting the detail for each of these other funds. Major Funds are explained below.
The Entity-wide Financial Statements
Entity-wide financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis, which means they measure the flow of all economic resources of the City as a whole.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities present information about the following:
• Governmental Activities-All of the City's basic services are considered to be governmental activities.
These services are supported by general City revenues such as taxes, and by specific program revenues such as user fees and charges.
• Business-type Activities -The City's enterprise activities of water and wastewater are reported in this area. Unlike governmental services, these services are supported by charges paid by users based on the amount of the service they use.
Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City's most significant funds, called Major Funds. The concept of Major Funds, and the determination of what qualifies as a Major Fund, was established by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34 and replaces the concept of combining like funds and presenting them in total. Instead, each Major Fund is presented individually, with all Non-major Funds summarized and presented only in a single column. - 5 -
City of Newman
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
Subordinate schedules present the detail of these Non-major Funds. Major Funds present the major activities of the City for the year, and may change from year to year as a result of changes in the pattern of the City's activities.
In the City's case, there are three Major Governmental Funds in addition to the General Fund: The CDBG Fund (Funds 15, 19 and 26), the Public Facility Improvement Fund (Fund 40), and the State Grants Fund (Fund 17). Both of the City's Enterprise Funds are reported as Major Proprietary Funds.
Fund Financial Statements include governmental and proprietary funds as discussed below.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis, which means they measure only current financial resources and uses. Capital assets and other long-lived assets, along with long-term liabilities, are not presented in the Governmental Fund Financial Statements.
Proprietary Funds Financial Statements are prepared on the full accrual basis, as in the past, and include all of their assets and liabilities, current and long-term.
Comparisons of Budget and Actual financial information are presented for the General Fund, as well as the CDBG Fund and State Grants Fund which are Special Revenue Funds, as required by GASB Statement 34.
FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE
This analysis focuses on the net position and changes in net position of the City as a whole. Tables 1, 2 and 3 focus on the City's Governmental Statement of Net position and Statement of Activities, while Tables 4 and 5 focus on the City's Business-type Statem nt of Net Position and Statement of Activities. - 6 -

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
Property Taxes revenues increased $51, 794 and Sales Tax revenues increased $14,824 while Fines and Forfeiture revenues increased $22,870. Increases were due to increased property values and more residents shopping locally and increases in product costs.
General Fund expenditures were $5,943,867, an increase of $357,453 from the prior year. Expenditures were $444,861 less than the final budget, primarily related to cost reductions associated with Planning & Community Development, Public Safety, and Recreation & Leisure.
As of June 30, 2022, the General Fund's ending fund balance totaled $4,345,334; an increase of$189,854 from the prior year. In February of 2009 GASB issued Statement #54 changing the presentation of this fund balance. See the. Note 1-D to the Basic Financial Statements for detail on the changes and classifications offund balance. The unassigned portion of General Fund's fund balance is $4,336,572:
CDBG Fund
This fund is used to account for grants received to loan out to low income citizens for first time home purchases and/or housing rehabilitation projects. Also included in this fund are grant funds for the Valley Manor Housing project. Those funds were loaned out and are now reflected on our books as a long term loan receivable. Valley Manor Housing represents the largest of these receivables. Their current outstanding balance is $975,000.
Public Facility Improvement Fund
This fund accounts for the improvement of public facilities funded by developer fees. In fiscal year 2022, the fund received $13,668 in developer fees. Developer fee revenue decreased $36,304 over the prior year.
This decline has existed during the last three years due to the lack of buildable lots in Newman. The North West Expansion will cure this.
The fund's fiscal year end fund balance of $4,866,624 represents developer fees that have not yet been expended on public facility projects and improvements.
State Grants Fund
The fees accounted for here are to be used for State of California funded projects and programs. The fund's current balance is ($710,742). This fund typically has to expend funds prior to being reimbursed by the State's grants.
Proprietary Funds
Water Fund
Operating Revenues shows a decrease of $124,017 to a total of $2,235,526 in fiscal year 2022. This decrease in revenues was due to a Federal Grant program providing a credit to water users in the amount of $344,600. This amount was reimbursed to the Water Fund under Transfers In. Operating Expenses increased $540,573 to $2,338,491. There was a resulting operating loss of ($102,965). The fund 's net position increased $261,958 due to increases in water rates. In April of 2012, the 1982 Water Bonds were refunded with a simple loan. No funds are restricted for debt service. The unrestricted fund balance is $1 ,151 , 106.
Sewer Fund
Operating Revenues increased by $205,639 to a total of $3,728,899 in fiscal year 2022 due to an increase in Sewer Rates and Industrial billing. Operating Expenses decreased $904,022 to $1,405,103. There was a resulting operating gain of $2,323,796. The fund's net position increased $2,667,491 to a total of $21, 720, 116. The Sewer Fund has no outstanding bonds. - 12 -

CAPITAL ASSETS
GASB Statement 34 requires the City to record all its capital assets including infrastructure. Infrastructure includes roads, bridges, signals and similar assets used by the entire population.
In fiscal year 2022, the City reported the cost of all its infrastructure assets and computed the amount of accumulated depreciation for these assets based on their original acquisition dates. At the end of fiscal year 2022 the cost of infrastructure and other capital assets recorded on the City's financial statements was as shown in Table 6 below:

The City depreciates all its capital assets over their estimated useful lives, as required by GASB Statement
34. The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of a capital asset over the years of its useful life so that an allocable portion of the cost of the asset is borne by all users. Additional information on depreciable lives may be found in Note 1-D to the financial statements.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
The City issued no new bonded debt in fiscal year 2022. The City made all scheduled repayments of existing debt. Each of the City's debt issues is discussed in detail in Note 3-G to the financial statements. - 13 -

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, 2022
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
The changes in net position reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities is different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlay ($666,700) exceed depreciation ($761,714) in the current period.
The recording of accrued compensated absences does not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, is not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. The liability is included in the statement of activities.
The net change in pension expense either contributed to pension plan in current fiscal year not included on statement of activities; or expenses reported in statement of activities that.do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City of Newman (the City) was incorporated June 8, 1908 under the general laws of the State of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges applicable to a General Law City. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services as authorized: Public Safety (police, fire and civil defense), highways and streets, sanitation, health and social services, culture/ recreation, education, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative services. The City also provides the Water and Sewer services.
The financial statements of the City of Newman have no component units. The accompanying basic financial statements present the financial activity of the City, which is the primary government.
The basic financial statements of the City of Newman, California have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
The more significant of the City's accounting policies are described below:
The accompanying basic financial statements present the financial activity of the City (primary government) and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government's operations. Discretely presented component units represent other legally separate organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable or for which the nature and significance of their relationship to the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the City's reporting entity to be misleac.fu g or incomplete. The City's component units are blended; there are no discretely presented component units in the Financial Reporting Entity.
The City Council consists of four members elected at large for overlapping four-year terms. The Mayor is elected to the City Council for a two year term. The City Council appoints a City Manager and City Attorney.
In addition to sitting as the governing board of the City, the City Council also acted as the Board of Directors of one blended component unit: the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Newman through January 31, 2012. On February 1, 2012 all Redevelopment Agencies (RDA) statewide were dissolved. The City was accepted to be the Successor Agency charged with the winding down of operations. The Successor Agency funds are now reported as a fiduciary fund in the City's financial statements.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net pos1tlon and the statement of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
- 26 -
City of Newman
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements (concluded) 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 properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are re orted in separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Fund Financial Statements: 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, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds bas _d upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
Separate financial statements are presented after the government-wide financial statements. These statements display information about major funds individually and non-major funds in the aggregate for governmental and enterprise funds. Fiduciary statements include financial information for fiduciary funds.
Fiduciary funds of the City primarily represent assets held by the City in a custodial capacity for other individuals or organizations.
C. Measurement Focus Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as 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.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
For this purpose, the City 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, are recorded only when payment is due.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) C. Measurement Focus Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (continued) Non-current portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on their balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus. Special reporting treatments are used to indicate that they should not be considered "available spendable resources", since they do not represent net current assets. Recognition of governmental fund type revenues represented by non-current receivables are deferred until they become current receivables. Non-current portions of other long-term receivables are reflected in non-spendable fund balance.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recogrution for governmental fund types· excludes amounts represented by non-current liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as other financing source rather than as a fund liability. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as fund expenditures.
Property taxes and taxpayer-assessed tax revenues (e.g., franchise taxes, sales taxes, motor vehicle fees, etc.) net of estimated refunds and uncollectible amow ts, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered measurable and available only when cash is received by the City. The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - 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.
CDBG Fund - to account for federal grants and other monies received and disbursed under the Housing and Community Development Act, to assist low- and moderate-income groups in obtaining loans to purchase their first home and rehabilitate or revitalize their homes.
Public Facility Improvement Fund - to account for development impact fees collected. These fees re used for infrastructure and capital expenditure resulting from new developments.
State Grants Fund - To account for various grants received from the State of California. Funds are used for community development capital projects.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Water Fund - accounts for the activities of the City's water service.
Sewer Fund - accounts for the activities of the City's sewer service.
Fiduciary Funds
Trust Funds and Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent or trustee for individuals, private organizations, and other governments.
The Successor Agency Private-purpose Trust Funds account for receipt of incremental property tax and payment of enforceable obligations (debts) assumed by the Successor Agency from the former Redevelopment Agency. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the Government-wide financial statements but are presented in separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements. - 28 -
City of Newman
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) C. Measurement Focus. Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (concluded) As a rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's water and sewer function and various other functions of government. Eliminations of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenue reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers and applicants, for goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions and 3) capital grants and contributions. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing goods and services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services, including water and sewer charges.
Operating expenses for enterprise funds include salaries and employee benefits, maintenance and operation of systems and facilities, administrative xpenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
The City's water and sewer enterprise fund recognize as capital contributions the entire portion of tap fees, as they intend to recover the costs o f the capital investment in the water and sewer distribution system.
Bond Premiums and Discounts/Issuance Costs for governmental-wide financial statements and proprietary funds financial statements - issuance costs are recognized during the current period. Any bond premiums and discounts are capitalized and amortized over the life of the bonds. Bond proceeds, premiums and discounts are reported as other financing sources in the governmental fund financial statements.
D . Assets Liabilities Net Position or Equity
Cash and Investments
In order to maximize the flexibility of its investment program and to aid in cash budgeting, the City pools the cash of all funds, except for monies deposited with fiscal agents in accordance with related bond indentures. The cash and investments balance in each fund represents that fund's equity share of the City's cash and investment pool. As the City places no restrictions on the deposit or withdrawal of a particular fund's equity in the pool, the pool operates like a demand deposit account for the participating funds.
Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated quarterly. Interest income on restricted cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.
In accordance with the State of California Government Code, the City adopts an investment policy annually that, among other things, authorizes types of investments. - 29 -
City of Newman
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Assets Liabilities. Net Position or Equity (continued) Authorized investments include:
• Securities of the U.S. government or its agencies
• Certificates of Deposit (or time deposits) placed with commercial banks and/or savings & loan associations
• Bankers Acceptances
• State Treasurer's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) • Passbook savings account demand deposits
• Small Business Administration Loans
• Other products which are totally guaranteed and insured by the U.S. government.
Investments for the City are reported at fair value. LAIF 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, the City has defined cash and cash equivalents to be change and petty cash funds, equity in the City's cash and investment pool and restricted, non-pooled investment with initial maturities of three months or less.
Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "interfund receivables/payables" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds'"' (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds" . Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal balances.
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All trade and ta..x receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts and estimated refunds due.
Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied on the first day of January by the county assessor and are payable to the county tax collector in two installments. The first installment is due November 1st, and is delinquent on December 10th, the second installment is due February 1st and is delinquent on April 10th. Taxes become a lien on the property on January 1st, and on the date of transfer of title, and the date of new construction.
The minimum property value which is taxed is $2,000; however, tax bills are prepared for properties valued at less than $2,000 if there is a special assessment to be collected. Article 13A of the California Constitution states, "The maximum amount of any ad valorem tax on real property shall not exceed one percent (1 %) of the full cash value of such property. The one percent tax is to be collected by the counties and apportioned according to law to the districts within the counties." - 30 -
City of Newman
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Assets Liabilities Net Position or Equity (continued) The City has elected under state law (TEETER) to receive all the annual property assessments in three installments as follows:
December
April
June
Leases Receivable
55%
40%
5%
100%
The City is a lessor for leases of office and commercial space. The City recognizes leases receivable and deferred inflows of resources in the financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance of the lessee or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the lease receivable.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable 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 the life of the lease term in a systematic and rational method.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (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 its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. • The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included 10 the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease receivable and def erred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.
Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, and equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, bridges, sidewalks, traffic lights and signals, street lights and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 for property, plant and equipment and $25,000 for infrastructure. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation. - 31 -

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D . Assets Liabilities Net Position or Equity (continued) The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Depreciation is recorded in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service life using the straight-line method. Assets are depreciated as follows:
Buildings
Improvements
Machinery and Equipment
Streets and Roads
Curb, Gutter, Sidewalks, & Median Curbs

It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave benefits. All vacation and sick leave benefits are accrued as earned by employees. All vacation and sick leave pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide financial statements. A liability for vacation pay is reported in the governmental and proprietary funds.
Pensions
For purposes of deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City of Newman'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.
Deferred outflows /inflows of resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, Deferred Ouiflows of Resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an expense or expenditure until then. The City has one item that meets this criterion - pension deferrals.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, Deferred Inflows of Resources, represents an acquisition of net position that· applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as revenue until then. The City has two items that meet the criterion for this category - leases, and pension and deferrals.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. - 32 -

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Assets Liabilities Net Position or Equity (continued) Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Net Position and Fund Equity
In the government-wide financial statements, net position is reported in three categories: net investment in capital assets; restricted net position and unrestricted net position. Net investment in capital assets, describes the portion of net position the is represented by the current book value of the City's capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets. Restricted net position represents net position restricted by parties outside the City (such as creditors, granters, contributors, laws and regulations of other governments) and include unspent proceeds of bonds issued to acquire or construct capital assets.
The City's other restricted net position is temporarily restricted (ultimately expendable assets). All other net position is considered unrestricted. Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position that is not restricted as to use.
In the fund financial statements, fund balance is reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. The classifications of fund balance are Non-spendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Non-spendable and Restricted fund balances represent the restricted classifications, and Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned represent the unrestricted classifications:
• Non-spendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because either 1) it is not in a spendable form, such as inventory, leases receivable more than deferred inflows of resources, prepaid items or 2) it is legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. • Restricted fund balance includes amounts that are constrained for specific purposes which are externally (outside the City) imposed by creditors, granters, contributors, laws and regulations of other governments, or laws through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. • Committed fund balance includes amounts that are constrained for specified purposes that are internally imposed by the government through formal action of the highest level of decision-making authority and do not lapse at year-end.
• Assigned fund balance represents limitations imposed by management. • Unassigned fund balance represents the residual net resources in excess of the other classifications.
The General Fund is the only fund that can report a positive unassigned fund balance and any governmental fund can report a negative unassigned fund balance.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for specific expenditures, restricted resources are considered spent before unrestricted resources, unless there are legal documents/ contracts that prohibit doing this, such as a grant agreement requiring dollar for dollar spending. Within unrestricted resources, committed and assigned are considered spent (if available) before unassigned amounts.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - STEWARDSHIP COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetar:y Information
The City Council is required to adopt an annual budget resolution by July 1 of each fiscal year for the general fund, and special revenue, capital projects, debt service, and enterprise funds. These budgets are adopted and presented for reporting purposes on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the department level. The Council made several supplemental budgetary appropriations throughout the year.
B. Deficit Fund Equity
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the following funds had a deficit fund balance:
State Grant Fund and County CDBG Consortium Fund
County CDBG Consortium Fund will be funded with future economic development funds. The State Grant fund normally has a deficit balance due to the requirement of having to spend funds prior to being reimbursed.

A. Cash and Investments (continued)
Investments Authorized by the City's Investment Policy
The City's investment policy authorizes investment in the local government investment pool administered by the State of California (LAIF). The City's investment policy also authorizes cash to be invested in Certificates of Deposit, Bankers Acceptances, and Passbook Savings Demand Deposits. The City's investment policy does not contain any specific provisions intended to limit the City's exposure to interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates.
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measure.cl by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. LAIF does not have a rating provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government's indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as LAIF).
All depositors' accounts at an insured depository institution including all non-interest-bearing transactions accounts will be insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount ($250,000) for each deposit insurance ownership category.

A. Cash and Investments (concluded)
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. 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 Reporting- Investments
The City categorizes the fair value measurements of its investments within the fair value hierarchy established by GAAP. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. These levels are determined by the City's investment manager based on a review of the investment class, structure and what kind of securities are held in the portfolio. The City's holdings are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensatiort plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457.

The City of Newman participates with other public entities in a joint exercise of powers agreement, which establishes the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA). The relationship between the City and CSJVRMA is such that CSJVRMA is not a component unit of the City for financial reporting purposes.
The City is covered for the first $1,000,000 of each general liability claim and $250,000 of each workers' compensation claim through the CSJVRMA. The City has the right to receive dividends or the obligation to pay assessments based on a formula which, among other expenses, charges the City's account for liability losses under $10,000 and workers' compensation losses under $10,000.
The CSJVRMA participates in an excess pool which provides general liability coverage from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000. The CSJVRMA participates in an excess pool that provides workers' compensation coverage from $250,000 to $500,000 and purchases excess insurance above the $500,000 to the statutory limit. The CSJVRMA is a consortium of fifty-four (54) cities in San Joaquin Valley, California. It was established under the provisions of California Government Code Section 6500 et seq. The CSJVRMA is governed by a Board of Directors, which meets 3-4 times per year, consisting of one member appointed by each member city. The day-to-day business is handled by a management group employed by the CSJVRMA.
There were no significant changes in coverage in fiscal year 2022 as regards to the aggregate limits on excess coverage.

A. Risk Management (concluded)
Liabilities of the City are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNRs). The result of the process to estimate the claims liability is not an exact amount as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, and damage awards.
Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to consider the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends (including frequency and amount of pay-outs), and other economic and social factors. There were no material uninsured claim liabilities at June 30, 2022.
At the termination of the joint powers agreement and after all claims have been settled, any excess deficit will be divided among the cities in accordance with its governing documents.
B. Commitments and Contingencies
The City is a party in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, it is the opinion of the City's counsel that resoluti n of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of th City.
C. Employee Retirement Systems and Plans
The City contributes to the California Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS), an agent multipleemployer public employee defined benefit pension plan. All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City's separate Safety (police and fire) and Miscellaneous (all other) Employee Pension Plans, cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
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 SO with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following:
the Basic Death Benefit, the 19S7 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.

Contributions - Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employ es' Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employees be determined n an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a hange in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS.
The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during that year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
In December 2010, the City of Newman added a second lower cost tier for future employees. Effective January 1, 2013, the Public Emp oyees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) implemented new benefit formulas, final compensation period, and new contribution requirements for new employees hired on or after January 1, 2013, who meet the definition of new member as per PEPRA.
Participants on Tier 1 are required to contribute 8% (9% for public-safety employees); participants on Tier 2 are required to contribute 7% (9% for public-safety employees); and participants in Tier 3 are required to contribute 6.25% (11.5% for public safety employees) of their annual covered salary. For employees on Tier 1, the City partially contributes on behalf of the employees (1.5% for Misc. and 2% for Safety). For employees on Tier 2 and Tier 3, the City makes no required contributions on behalf of the employees.
The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by PERS. The City is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. The current rates are 10.298% for Tier 1, 8.003% for Tier 2 and 6.237% for PEPRA plan for non-safety employees, and 17.557% for Tier 1, 15.627% for Tier 2 and 11.153% for PEPRA plan of police employees, of annual covered payroll.

Protection allowance floor on power applies, 2.5% thereafter The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS' specific data. The table includes 15 years of mortahty improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale 90% of scale MP 2016. For more details on this table, please refer to the December 2017 experience study report (based on CalPERS demographic data from 1997 to 2015) that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7 .15%. 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.
Long-term Expected Rate ofReturn - 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 as well as the expected pension fund (PERF) cash flows. Using historical returns of all funds' asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11 + years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits of cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns.

The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
New Strategic Real Return Real Return
Asset Class m Allocation Years 1-10 (2) Years 11 + (3)(4) Global Equity 50.0% 4.80% 5.98%
Global Fixed Income 28.0% 1.00% 2.62%

Private Equity 8.0% 6.30% 7.23%
Real Estate 13.0% 3.75% 4.93%
Liquidity 1.0% 0.00% (0.92)%
Total 100%
(1) In the System's CAFR, Liquidity is included in Short-term Investments; In t ation Assets are included in both Global Equity Securities and Fixed Income.
(2) An expected inflation of 2.0% used for this period. (3) An expected inflation of 2.92% used for this period. (4) Figures are based on the previous ALM of 2017.
Subsequent Events - On July 21, 2021, CalPERS reported a preliminary 21.3% net return on investments for fiscal year 2020-21 . Based on the thresholds specified in CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation policy, the excess return of 14.3% prescribes a reduction in investment volatility that corresponds to a reduction in the discount rate used for funding prup oses of 0.20% from 7.00% to 6.80%. Since CalPERS was in the final stages of the four-year sset Liability Management (ALM) cycle, the board elected to defer any changes to the asset a.llocatiort til the ALM process concluded, and the board could make its final decision on the asset allocation in N ovember 2021.
On November 17, 2021, the board adopted a new strategic asset allocation. The new asset allocation along with the new capital market assumptions, economic assumptions and administrative expense assumption support a discount rate of 6. 90% (net of investment expense but without a reduction for administrative expense) for financial reporting purposes. This includes a reduction in the price inflation assumption of 2.50% to 2.30% as recommended in the November 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. This study also recommended modifications to retirement rates, termination rates, mortality rates and rates of salary increases that were adopted by the board. These new assumptions will be reflected in the GASB 68 accounting valuation reports for the June 30, 2022 measurement date.

D. Redevelopment Dissolution
Effective January 31 , 2012, all Redevelopment Agencies were dissolved. Certain assets of the former Redevelopment Agency Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund were distributed to a Housing Successor; and all remaining former Redevelopment Agency assets and !abilities were distributed to the Successor Agency.
ABx1 26 and AB 1484 directed the State Controller to review the activities of all former redevelopment agencies and successor agencies to determine whether an asset transfer between a former redevelopment agency and any public agency occurred on or after January 1, 2011. If an asset transfer did occur and the public agency that received the asset is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of the a~set, the legislation purports to require the State Controller to order the asset returned to the redevelopment agency.
The City, acting as the Successor Agency, prepared a Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) in compliance with AB 1484. On April 18, 2013, the Newman Redevelopment Successor Agency Oversight Board (NRSAOB) approved a LRPMP, which was submitted to the California Department of Finance (DOF). Following the submission of the LRPMP to the DOF the Successor Agency identified additional information, which necessitated revising the LRPMP. On September 20, 2013, the NRSAOB approved a revised LRPMP, which was submitted to the D OF.
On November 25, 2013, the Su cessor 1 gency received confirmation from the DOF that it had reviewed and approved the revised LRPMP. As of June 28, 2016, all real properties of the former Redevelopment Agency have been disposed of acco.rding to the LRPMP.
E. Long Term Debt
On December 2, 1997, the former Newman Redevelopment Agency (Agency) issued the $3,985,000 1997 Tax Allocation Project and Housing Bonds. The Agency continued to make payments on the bonds up to the time when the Agency was dissolved on February 1, 2012. On that date, the responsibility of making the payments on the bonds fell to the Newman Redevelopment Successor Agency, which has continued to make the payments without fail. The bonds mature on August 1, 2027.

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Newman
Newman, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements f the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Newman, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise City of Newman's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 15, 2022.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City of Newman's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Newman's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Newman's internal control.
A deficienry in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of City of Newman's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficienry is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. - 61 -
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of City of Newman
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, including the requirements of the California Public Utilities Code Section 142257 regulations as it applies to Local Transportation Purpose Funds noncompliance, which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with such provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported herein under the California Public Utilities Code Section 142257 regulations as it applies to Local Transportation Purpose Funds and Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Newman's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City of Newman's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

In planning and performing our audit of the basic financial statements of City of Newman for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the basic financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of its internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Newman's internal control.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does no t allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
Our consideration of the internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, as defined above. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider material weaknesses, as defined above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and City Council of City of Newman and others within the organization, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.
We thank City of Newman's staff for its cooperation during our audit.

To the Honorable Members
of the City Council
City of Newman
Newman, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of City of Newman for the year ended June 30, 2022. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibility under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards As stated in our engagement letter dated June 8, 2022, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement and are fairly presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance and because we did not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us.
As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of ity of Newman. Such considerations were solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide a y assurance concerning such internal control.
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies used by City of Newman are described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted, and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year. We noted no transactions entered into by City of Newman during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. There are no significant transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements in a different period than when the transaction occurred.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the basic financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the basic financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accounting estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The most sensitive estimate(s) affecting the basic financial statements were:
•
•
•
•
•
Accrual and disclosure of compensated absences .
Capital asset lives and depreciation expense .
Actuarial assumptions for pension plan disclosure .
Accrual and disclosure of leases .
Fair value of investments and financial instruments .
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit. - 2 -

City of Newman - Page 2
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. Of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management most were immaterial, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors' report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have re uested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated XX/XX/XX.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to City of Newman's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as City of N ewman's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Budgetary Comparison Schedule for the General Fund, which is required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding 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 did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and City Council of City of Newman and others within the organization, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Agenda Item: 10. b.
City Council Meeting
December 13, 2022
ADOPT THE STANISLAUS COUNTY MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
UPDATE AND CITY OF NEWMAN ANNEX BY REFERENCE INTO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY
ELEMENT OF THE CITY OF NEWMAN GENERAL PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the 2022 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) update and the City of Newman Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Annex as an Amendment to the City of Newman General Plan Health and Safety Element by incorporation by reference.
BACKGROUND:
The Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of2000 (Public Law 106-390) requires local governments to develop and adopt pre-disaster mitigation plans in order to minimize property damage and the risk to public health and safety that might result from the effects of natural or man-made disasters. A MJHMP assesses risk and vulnerabilities and identifies and prioritizes mitigation projects. The 2022 MJHMP update, pending approval by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), makes the City eligible for FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs. FEMA requires the MJHMP to be updated every five years to maintain eligibility for grants.
This single-jurisdiction annex to the 2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP update is a customized plan tailored for the City of Newman. The related General Plan Amendment adopts the 2022 MJHMP update into the General Plan Health and Safety Element by reference. California adopted Assembly Bill (AB) 2140 (Hancock) in 2006, which added provisions specifying what is to be included in a MJHMP and requiring a linkage between local jurisdiction's MJHMP and the Safety Element of their General Plan. AB 2140 requires a jurisdiction to adopt the MJHMP into the Safety Element of the General Plan in order to be eligible for an increased share of disaster relief funding under the California Disaster Assistance Act.
The increasing cost of disaster recovery in the nation and the State of California over the past decades prompted a renewed interest in determining effective and holistic approaches to minimize natural hazards. Hazard mitigation planning plays an important role in building community resilience through the identification of hazards, assessment of vulnerabilities, and the development of mitigation actions.
The goal of the MJHMP update is to develop practical, attainable, and cost-effective mitigation actions to reduce vulnerability to the identified hazards and reduce human, property, and economic losses from hazard events.
Stanislaus County contracted with Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc., now WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure Inc., to facilitate and develop the updated 2022 MJHMP and associated annexes.
Subsequently, the plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the DMA of2000, so that the City and County would become eligible for FEMA HMA, Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA), and Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant programs.
Goal Alignment:
This MJHMP update identifies resources, information, and strategies for reducing risk from natural hazards.
Mitigation strategies in the plan were collaboratively developed to best meet the needs of the City's planning partners, stakeholders, and their citizens. One of the benefits of hazard mitigation planning and specifically convening a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) is the ability to pool resources and eliminate redundant activities within a planning area that has uniform risk exposure and vulnerabilities.
This MJHMP update builds on successful mitigation actions developed in adjacent planning areas, such as the 2017 Stanislaus County LHMP, the 2018 California Climate Adaptation Strategy, and the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan. This plan will also help guide and coordinate mitigation activities throughout the City's Planning Area, as defined by the Newman city limits. The 2022 MJHMP update was developed to meet the following objectives:
• Meet or exceed requirements of the DMA of2000.
• Enable the City to use federal HMA and BRIC grant funding to reduce risk through mitigation. • Create a risk assessment that focuses on the City's hazards of concern. • Maintain and implement the MJHMP to identify natural hazards, minimize or eliminate their effects and reduce prospective costs of reparations before any natural hazard takes place consistent with the Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Goal in the City ofNewman's General Plan Health and Safety Element.
Agenda Item: 10. b.
• Create a single planning document that integrates all planning partner and stakeholder input into a framework that supports partnerships and coordination within the City and the County. • Meet the planning requirements of FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) if the City chooses to participate in this program in the future. • Coordinate existing plans and programs so that high-priority initiatives and projects to mitigate possible disaster impacts are funded and implemented.
ANALYSIS:
Discussion:
To begin the MJHMP update process, in December 2020, Stanislaus County issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) (No. 20-51-AH) seeking a qualified consultant to help prepare an update to the County's 2017 LHMP and to facilitate a multi-jurisdictional planning process with the nine participating municipalities and the Stanislaus County Office of Education, for a total of 10 participating agencies. In February 2021, the County selected Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. (now WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure Inc.) as its consultant.
County staff and WSP Environment & Infrastructure Inc. began the MJHMP update process with an evaluation of the existing 2017 LHMP, a compilation of background information, the development of an Outreach Strategy, and the establishment of a HMPC comprised of County and City staff, as well as external agency and organization partners. This planning process consisted of participation in the HMPC and the formation of a smaller internal planning team referred to as the City's Local Planning Team (LPT). Planning partners and stakeholders involved with the Newman LPT included the Fire Chief and Community Development staff. Public participation was an important part of the MJHMP update process. Public outreach included deliberate engagement with planning partners, stakeholders, and community groups with an acute interest and/or experience in hazard mitigation issues as well as opportunities for the general public to participate and inform the MJHMP update.
The planning process began with a kick-off meeting with the HMPC on August 5, 2021. The meeting covered the scope of work for the MJHMP update and an introduction to the DMA requirements. During the planning process, the HMPC communicated through virtual planning work sessions, email, and monthly virtual meetings, and added information to the County's MJHMP webpage. WSP Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. distributed draft planning documents via email to the City's LPT (Fire Department's Fire Chief and Community Development staff) and the HMPC. The HMPC met three times during the planning period (August 5, 2021, November 9, 2021, January 13, 2022). The risk assessment in the City ofNewman's Annex focused on potential impacts from earthquake, extreme temperatures, flood, and severe weather. Mitigation actions addressed prevention, property protection, public education and awareness, natural resource protection, and improved management practices for structural projects.
The actions were then prioritized using the STAPLEE criteria (social, technical, administrative, political, legal, economic, and environmental).
Public Outreach:
Public involvement for hazard mitigation plans according to the DMA of2000 (CFR § 201.6(b)) requires the planning process include an opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to plan approval and opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard mitigation activities to be involved in the planning process. The County developed an Outreach Strategy for the MJHMP update to provide a meaningful process through which the County, each city and their citizens, public officials, and stakeholder groups could effectively participate in the MJHMP planning process. It outlines a range of engagement platforms the County and City used to notify and engage stakeholders and the public. The County and the City notified the project stakeholders and public about the MJHMP update via email, the circulation of press releases, newspaper notices, and social media postings. The County formally engaged Alameda County, Calaveras County, Merced County, Santa Clara County, San Joaquin County, and Tuolumne County, as neighboring jurisdictions during the planning process, and to comment on the Administrative Draft MJHMP.
The County also circulated a public survey for the MJHMP update for a two-month period and facilitated two public workshops. The first Public Workshop was on November 4, 2021, and the second Public Workshop was on June 23, 2022. A Public Review Draft MJHMP was available for public comments for 30 days between April 15, 2022 through May 15, 2022. The County compiled public comments on the planning process, hazard profiles, risk assessment, and the Draft MJHMP during public review. During this time formal comments on the draft plan circulated during public review were compiled and organized. These comments were submitted by email and through an online form; some public comments were also recorded during the second Public Workshop. The County and WSP Environment & Infrastructure incorporated public input by reviewing the comments and revising the MJHMP prior to submittal to Cal OES and FEMA Region IX.
Agenda Item: 10.b.
Environmental Review:
Development and adoption of the Stanislaus County MJHMP update and City ofNewman LHMP Annex is a planning exercise to prepare the County and the City for foreseeable emergencies and other risks. As the plan indicates, implementation of any of the mitigations identified will be a post-adoption actions subject to staff review on a case-by-case basis and City Council action. Accordingly, the plan is not a project subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) given the plan itself is a continuing administrative or maintenance activity, such as general policy and procedure making, or governmental administrative activity, and will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment in accordance with Section l 5378(b ).
The plan is also categorically exempt based on the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the current activity may affect the environment, in accordance with Section 1506l(b)(3).
It is also exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15183 as a project that is consistent with the City's General Plan, Community Plans, and Zoning Ordinance; and/or categorically exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15162 as a feasibility and planning study that informs the City of vulnerabilities to natural hazards and develops potential future actions to mitigation risks.
Policy Implications:
The purpose of the Stafford Act, as amended by the DMA of 2000, is to "reduce the loss of life and property, human suffering, economic disruption, and disaster assistance costs resulting from natural disasters." Section 322 of the Stafford Act specifically addresses mitigation planning and requires state and local governments to prepare MJHMPs as a precondition to receiving FEMA HMA and BRIC grant funding. The requirements of Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 201.6 includes regulations that must be met before FEMA will approve a MJHMP. MJHMPs must also be updated every 5 years in order for jurisdictions to remain eligible for FEMA HMA and BRIC funding.
This action is consistent with the following City of Newman General Plan Health and Safety Element Goals:
HS-2: Prevent loss of life, injury, and property damage due to geologic and seismic hazards.
The Newman City LPT identified and prioritized earthquake mitigation actions based on the risk assessment, goals, and objectives, which were incorporated into the main MJHMP mitigation recommendation. These actions included supporting efforts to identify and rehabilitate structures that are susceptible to deterioration and continuing to enforce relevant building codes.
HS-2: Prevent loss of life, injury, and property damage due to flooding.
The MJHMP update includes key mitigation objectives related to flooding, including preventing future developments in the floodplain, designing new developments to ensure safety, and coordinating with partner agencies to limit impacts to public, infrastructure and environment. The City of Newman Annex integrated Orestimba Creek flood projects into the City's Mitigation Strategy.
HS-4: Maintain emergency response procedures that are adequate in the event of natural or man-made disasters.
The comprehensive development of the MJHMP update is the City's main roadmap to building a safer Newman and promoting resiliency throughout every department at the City. The City can achieve this through ongoing implementation and maintenance of the mitigation strategy, annual review and evaluation review, and regular MJHMP updates.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the MJHMP does not have any direct financial implications. Indirectly, adoption of the MJHMP update may have financial implications in order to provide necessary resources to implement programs and remain in compliance with DMA of 2000 ( 44 CFR § 201.6) requirements and annual plan maintenance and implementation protocols. Once the plan is adopted locally, the County and the City will become eligible to apply for future I-IMA, FMA, and BRIC funds through FEMA.
CONCLUSION:
Through participation in the 2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP update and City of Newman LHMP Annex, the City has met the requirements to become eligible for FEMA Pre- Disaster Mitigation and HMA grant programs once both documents have been approved by FEMA. Adopting the MJHMP into the Health and Safety Element of the General Plan will make the City eligible for increased disaster relief funding under the California Disaster Assistance Act.
Agenda Item: 10.b.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 2022- , Adopting the 2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP update and City of Newman LHMP Annex as an Amendment to the City of Newman General Plan Health and Safety Element by Incorporation by Reference.

2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
1 CITY OF NEWMAN
1.1 Purpose
This Annex summarizes the hazard mitigation elements specific to the City of Newman. This Annex supplements the Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP); therefore, the Annex is not a stand-alone plan but intended to supplement the hazard information provided in the Base Plan document. All other sections of the Stanislaus County MJHMP, or Base Plan, including the sections on the planning process, countywide risk assessment, and procedural requirements related to plan implementation and maintenance apply to the City of Newman. This Annex provides additional information specific to the City of Newman, including details on the City's profile, planning process, risk assessment, and mitigation strategy for the community.
1.2 Community Profile
1.2.1 Mitigation Planning History and 2021-2022 Process This Annex was created during the development of the 2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP update. The City of Newman did not participate in Stanislaus County's 2017 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) process.
However, the City of Newman did participate in a 2010-2011 MJHMP process with the County. This 2010 MJHMP was approved by Stanislaus County on May 4, 2011. The City of Newman adopted the 2010 MJHMP and the 2011 City of Newman LHMP Annex on March 22, 2011 . However, the City elected not to include or report progress on any of the mitigation actions from the outdated and expired version of the MJHMP (a requirement only for plan updates following the release of FEMA's October 1, 2011 Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide). This Annex instead effectively represents a new plan for Newman based on current development, demographics, and mitigation capabilities that addresses the City's current hazards and vulnerabilities
During the current update process, the City of Newman followed the planning process detailed in Chapter 3 of the Base Plan. This planning process consisted of participation in the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) and the formation of a smaller internal planning team referred to as the City's Local Planning Committee (LPT). The LPT was organized to support the broader planning process, coordinate with the City departmental staff, and develop customized mitigation actions and projects specific to the City of Newman. The City's LPT is also responsible for the update, implementation, and maintenance of the plan. LPT members are listed in Appendix A.
1.2.2 Geography and Climate
The City of Newman is part of the Modesto Metropolitan Statistical Area. Founded by Simon Newman in 1888, the City is part of the west side of California's San Joaquin Valley. Known for its annual Fall Festival and small-town charm, the City retains its rural character while keeping up with larger and more urbanized communities. The City is located in an agriculturally rich and naturally beautiful geographical area.
The City is located along California State Route (SR) 33 between the towns of Gustine and Crows Landing, and approximately 30 miles southwest of the City of Modesto (US Census 2019). Interstate 5 is located a few miles to the west of the City.
The City receives an average annual precipitation of 10.69 inches and receives most of this precipitation from November through March (WRCC 2022). The City experiences its average monthly highest temperature in July (97.3 °F), and then its monthly lowest temperature in January (55.9 °F). Similar to the rest of Stanislaus County, the City of Newman has a mild Mediterranean climate.
According to Newman's 2030 General Plan, Newman has historically been a small and relatively stable community with an economy and heritage rooted in agriculture (City of Newman 2007). As a result of increasing growth pressure in the Central Valley, the City of Newman has experienced a significant amount of new residential development in the last five years. Unlike many cities in the region, the City provides housing that is relatively affordable, when compared to other parts of the San Joaquin and Central Valleys Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard M1t1gation Plan j 2022-2027 Update Page 1 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
and the San Francisco Bay area. Figure 1-1 below shows the city limits and the sphere of influence (SOI) boundary for the City of Newman. The city limits, or the area where the City has authority to make land use decisions, is the City's planning area and consists of 1,344 acres, or 2.1 square miles.

Officially incorporated in 1908, with the official slogan of "The Cream Pitcher of the Pacific", the City of Newman has grown into a bright community and adopted an updated slogan during its Centennial Celebration in 1988; "Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Present, Building for the Future." This slogan describes Newman's viewpoint; not only does the City have authentic historical value, but it is also known Stanislaus County Mult1-Junsd1ct1onal Hazard Mitigation Plan 12022-2027 Update Page 2 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
for having California's first school bus - a converted 1916 Ford Model T. The City was also voted one of the San Joaquin Valley's "Livable Places" in the late 1990s.
The City of Newman is within the historic territory of the Yokuts People, whose territory extended from the Tehachapi Mountains to the area that is today Stockton (City of Newman 2007). The Yokuts likely lived along the San Joaquin and Stanislaus Rivers and their tributaries and inhabited the area at least 1,000 years ago (City of Newman 2007). Therefore, the areas adjacent to waterways are considered highly sensitive for archaeological resources and the land along the eastern portion of the City were seasonally inundated marshlands and home to a variety of resident and migratory waterfowl.
The City of Newman has goals for the future while keeping its historical roots in place. Today, the City of Newman is home to approximately 10,000 people (City Of Newman 2022).
1.2.4 Economy
According to Newman's 2030 General Plan, agriculture is a major activity throughout Stanislaus County and the San Joaquin and Central Valleys, including in Newman's planning area. The industry has been at the heart of the local economy and way of life throughout the City's history and continues to play a key role today. One of the General Plan's goals is to preserve and promote Newman's historic and cultural resources by developing heritage tourism and establishing the City as a regional tourist destination by working with the Stanislaus Economic Development & Workforce Alliance.
Surrounded by agricultural production areas, the City of Newman is a national center for food and beverage production. The City of Newman is also developing a strong presence in advanced manufacturing including off-site home and commercial construction. Like other cities in Stanislaus County, the City's location at the center of the North San Joaquin Valley region is a great place to do business given it is 90 minutes of San Francisco and Silicon Valley, with efficient access to major markets via rail, highways, and air.

1.2.6 Disadvantaged Communities
The City is made up of one census tract (6099003500). Based on information from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) CalEnviroScreen tool, approximately 12% of the people residing with this census tract are housing burdened low-income households. Housing-burdened low-income households are households that are both low income and highly burdened by housing costs.
California has very high housing costs relative to the rest of the country, which can make it hard for households to afford housing (OEHHA 2022). Households with lower incomes may spend a larger proportion of their income on housing and may suffer from housing-inducted poverty ("CalEnviroScreen
4.0" 2021 ). In other words, there are approximately 3,305 housing units in the tract and about 1,390 of them are considered low income and 390 are considered housing burdened.
The OEHHA CalEnviroScreen tool applies a formula to generate a combined ranking score that considers 21 indicators for each census tract that cover pollution indicators, such as diesel emissions and concentrations of toxic clean-up sites and population indicators, such as poverty and unemployment rates.
The census tracts with CalEnviroScreen rankings between 75 and 100 percent (i.e., a combined score in the top 25 percent of all census tracts in the State) are considered to be disadvantaged communities (DACs). The City can use this information to conduct targeted outreach and engage community members to consider what other hazards and mitigation strategies or programs should be considered to meet community needs. The City can also engage these communities to proactively prioritize hazard mitigation projects that benefit disadvantaged communities.
1.2. 7 Development Trends
The City of Newman is a small town with a vibrant historic downtown that consists of predominately singlefamily residential neighborhoods surrounded by agricultural and ranch lands. The downtown is centered along Main Street and consists of one and two-story commercial buildings, many of which are historic and date from the early 20th Century. The area east of SR 33, extending from the center of the City to the southern City limit, is predominately in industrial and commerCial use. Figure 1-2 displays the General Plan land use designations, depicting planned land uses for the City of Newman. Table 1-6 summarizes the acreage for each land use designation in the city limits and within the current SOI.

According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element, the City encouraged the development of a scale and type that is compatible with the existing small-town scale and character of the City of Newman. The City encourages orderly and contiguous growth, as well as new development, phased over a carefully planned time frame. The City promotes development that maintains and reinforces the downtown as the geographic, commercial and economic center of Newman (City of Newman 2007). The City also aims to link the rate of growth in Newman to the provision of adequate services and infrastructure.
The housing market within and around Newman was depressed for much of the period since 2008, with limited new housing construction and greater demand for rental housing, and the number of housing units in foreclosure in 2008 through 2009. More recently, new housing has been constructed and previously approved subdivisions near the northeast portion of the City also have been constructed. There have also been housing developments consisting of over 100 units developed in the northwest portion of the City for multi-family housing developments, such as the Northwest Newman Master Plan located west of State Highway 33 and south of Stuhr Road. Larger projects that were approved and noted in the Housing Element included a 108-unit development and the 106-unit Mattos Ranch development (City of Newman 2016).
Some of these developments may have increased the City's hazard risk and vulnerability to both flooding and wildfire in the northwest portion of the City; however, because construction in the floodplain is elevated and developments are accessible for emergency response vehicles, overall vulnerability has not significantly changed.
The City's LPT noted that future development trends will include elevated housing near the floodplains in order to avoid flood risk. Future housing will also be situated on smaller lots and smaller setbacks to accommodate larger houses on smaller lots. The City's LPT indicated that higher density housing development may be an issue for fire response and accessibility, but they were designed according to current standards. Most of these new housing developments also no longer will have natural gas line connections (only electrical service) to help the City meet greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. The City's LPT is considering a 20 to 30 year build out of the next phase of the North West Newman Master Plan project located in the northwestern portion of the City; this project is currently under review. Another new housing development under review is the Agriana Land Use Plan located on the south end of the City, including the Agriana Land Use Development located east of State Highway 33 and south of East of Stuhr Road.
1.2.8 Future Development
The areas located in the SOI shown in Figure 1-2 depict areas where the City of Newman plans to grow; the SOI also represents potential areas for probable future development or service areas. Understanding Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard M1t1gation Plan I 2022-2027 Update Page 8 ~

the potential hazard exposure in the SOI can help to mitigate the impacts of events before development occurs in those areas.
The City regularly updates its building codes to meet minimum standards in the California Building Code (CBC) last updated in 2019. Compliance with the 2019 CBC ensures construction standards are met and hazards risks related to earthquake, landslides, flood, severe weather, and wildfire are minimized. The City also complies with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and all development must meet minimum flood protection standards set forth by FEMA. Participation in the 2021-2022 MJHMP update planning process also ensures the City of Newman continually reviews and updates hazard information and takes this information into account when reviewing development applications. This process will help the City make better decisions on where, when, and how future development occurs.
During this plan update process parcel analysis was conducted using the SOI and overlaid with available hazard risk layers to determine where future development may be at risk of natural hazard events. The results of the analysis have been integrated into the applicable hazard sections: dam incidents and earthquake hazards. Table 1-7 is the summary of the SOI total exposure for the City of Newman.

The City of Newman LPT identified the hazards that affect the City and summarized their frequency of occurrence, spatial extent, potential magnitude, and significance specific to their community (see Table 2 1 ). There are no hazards that are unique to Newman, although the flood risk in the City is greater and distinct from the flooding risk in the County's planning area. The purpose of this section is to profile the City of Newman hazards and assess the City's specific vulnerabilities.
The hazards profiled in the County MJHMP Base Plan discuss the overall impacts on the County's planning area. This information is summarized in the hazard description, geographic extent, magnitude/severity, previous occurrences, and probability of future occurrences sections. The information in the City of Newman's risk assessment summarizes only those hazards that vary from the County's planning area. The hazard profile information is organized in a similar format here as a way to identify priority hazards for mitigation purposes.
Table 2-1 summarizes the hazards profiled in the County's planning area and risk assessment to provide a way for the LPT to evaluate which hazards are addressed in their General Plan Safety Element and which hazards are relevant and priority hazards for the City. The City's General Plan Health and Safety Element addresses safety issues including geologic and seismic hazards, flooding hazards, fire hazards, and hazardous materials. The Health and Safety Element also addresses goals and policies for emergency and disaster preparedness. Among the hazards addressed in the City's General Plan Health and Safety Element, dam incidents, earthquake, and flooding hazards are further addressed in this Annex, while wildfire hazards are further addressed in the Base Plan.

2.1 Vulnerability Assessment
The intent of this section is to assess Newman's vulnerability that is separate from that of the planning area as a whole, which has already been assessed in Section 4 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment in the Base Plan. For dam incidents and flood hazards, this vulnerability assessment analyzes the population, property, and other assets at risk to hazards ranked of medium or high significance. For the other hazard profiles, the City described the specific vulnerabilities in the community by developing problem statements that qualitatively summarize areas of concern associated with the hazards that vary from other parts of the County planning area. These specific vulnerabilities are referred to as "problem statements" in the risk assessment. The problem statements are based on the risk assessment mapping and modelling, and where spatial data and maps are not available, they are based on specific input from the City LPT. With this Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard M1t1gat1on Plan I 2022-2027 Update Page 10 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
information mitigation actions were then developed to address these specific vulnerabilities; this process provides the connection between the problem statement and the mitigation action.
The information to support the hazard identification and risk assessment was based on the previous LHMP for the County, the City's Health and Safety Element, and jurisdiction-specific information collected during the 2021 update. A Data Collection Guide and associated worksheets were distributed to each participating municipality or special district to complete during the update process in 2021. Information collected was analyzed and summarized in order to identify and rank all the hazards that could impact anywhere within the County, as well as to rank the hazards and identify the related vulnerabilities unique to each jurisdiction.
Each participating jurisdiction was in support of the main hazard summary identified in the Base Plan (see Table 4-2). However, the hazard summary rankings for each jurisdictional Annex may vary due to specific hazard risks and vulnerabilities unique to that jurisdiction. The information in this Annex helps differentiate the jurisdiction's risk and vulnerabilities from that of the overall County.
Note: The hazard "Significance" reflects the overall ranking for each hazard and is based on a combination of the City of Newman's LPT input from the Data Collection Guide, the risk assessment developed during the planning process (see Section 4 of the Base Plan), and the set of problem statements developed by the City LPT. The hazard significance summaries in Table 2-1 above reflect the hazards that could potentially affect City. The discussion of vulnerability for each of the following hazards is located in Section
2.3 Estimating Potential Losses, which includes an overview on the local issues and areas of concern associated with the hazard, a problem statement for the priority hazard, and a quantitative risk assessment, where spatial data is available. Based on this analysis, the priority hazards for mitigation purposes for the City of Newman are identified below.
• Earthquake
• Extreme Heat
• Flood
• Severe Weather: Hail, Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms, and Lightning Cyber Attack, Pandemic/Epidemic, and Severe Weather: Dense Fog hazards were ranked significant hazards but are not addressed further in this vulnerability assessment as the risk and exposure is similar to the overall County risk and exposure, and the potential for losses are difficult to quantify specific to the City of Newman. Additionally, hazards assigned a significance rating of Low and which do not differ significantly from the County ranking (e.g., Low vs. High) are not addressed further and are not assessed individually for specific vulnerabilities in this Annex. In the City of Newman, those hazards include:
Agriculture Pests and Disease, Aquatic Invasive Species, Landslide (Mud/Debris Flow, Rockfall), and Wildfire. For example, both landslide and wildfire hazards were assessed for the City and based on the analysis and mapping neither hazard resulted in significant vulnerabilities or impacts.
2.2 Assets
This section considers Newman's assets at risk, including values at risk, critical facilities and infrastructure, historic assets, economic assets and growth and development trends.
2.2.1 Property Exposure
The following data on property exposure is derived from the Stanislaus County 2021 Parcel and Assessor data. This data should only be used as a guideline to overall values in the City as the information has some limitations. It is also important to note that in the event of a disaster, it is generally the value of the infrastructure or improvements to the land that is of concern or at risk. Generally, the land itself is not a loss and is not included in the values below. Table 2-2 shows the exposure of properties (e.g., the values at risk) broken down by property type for the City of Newman.

2.2.2 Critical Facilities and Infrastructure
For the purposes of this plan, a critical facility is defined as one that is essential in providing utility or direction either during the response to an emergency or during the recovery operation. FEMA sorts critical facilities into seven lifeline categories as shown in Figure 4-1 in the Base Plan. Table 2-3 shows a summary of the critical facilities within the City of Newman. Critical facilities and other community assets as important to protect in the event of a disaster.

2.2.3 Historic, Cultural and Natural Resources
There are no historical resources in the City of Newman that are designated on a federal, state or local level based on the California Office of Historic Preservation. The City does contain a number of historic homes and structures that contribute to the character of the City. An historic inventory of buildings was conducted by the City in 1984 and over 200 historic homes were recorded. While none are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or California Register of Historic Places (CRHP), several of the properties were eligible for separate listing on the NRHP (City of Newman 2007).
Natural resources are important to include in benefit-cost analyses for future projects and may be used to leverage additional funding for projects that also contribute to community goals for protecting sensitive natural resources. According to the City's General Plan Natural Resources Element, there are habitats for species of concern within the city limits. California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) records also show the sightings of Swainson's hawk, burrowing owl and San Joaquin kit fox, which are federal and state concerned species, in the City's vicinity. The City also manages a variety of different park lands from larger community parks, (Densmore Park) to neighborhood parks (Joe Borba Park). Awareness of natural assets can lead to opportunities for meeting multiple objectives. For instance, protecting wetlands areas protects sensitive habitat as well as attenuates and stores floodwaters.
2.3 Estimating Potential Losses
2.3.1 Dam Incidents
Protection from flood hazards created by dam failures is critical to the safety and well-being of Newman residents. A dam vulnerability assessment was completed during the 2021 update, following the methodology described in Section 4 of the Base Plan. Dam inundation areas from the Don Pedro and New Exchequer in relation to the City of Newman are shown in Figure 2-1. As shown in Figure 2-1, only the northeastern edge of the City is exposed to potential dam inundation areas. Based on mapping analysis, there are also no values at risk within the Don Pedro or New Exchequer dam inundation areas. Don Pedro and New Exchequer are both rated high hazard and rated as Extremely High by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), Division of Safety of Dam (DSOD). Extremely High rated dams are expected to cause considerable loss of human life or result in an inundation area with a population of 1,000 or more.
While only the non-contiguous northern portion of the City limits is vulnerable to dam incidents, a large portion of the City's SOI is vulnerable to dam incidents.
The General Plan Health and Safety Element notes the San Luis dam inundation zone extends to the northeastern portion of the City, covering parts of Lucas Ranch and Sherman Ranch (City of Newman 2007). Further, the Los Banos, Pine Flat, Friant, O'Neill, and Crane Valley storage inundation zones are also limited to parts of the eastern SOI, including the City's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The City would experience catastrophic damage if any one of these dams were to breach and flooding could occur as a result of dam failure. However, there is no evidence to indicate that flooding due to dam failure is likely.
The DWR DSOD inspects each dam on an annual basis for safety, thereby minimizing the risk of dam failure.
Critical Facilities at Risk
With the exception of the City's WWTP, no critical facilities are located within dam inundation areas. The City's WWTP is located in the eastern portion of the Newman city limits.
Future Development
There are four properties within the SOI that are exposed to inundation associated with the Don Pedro and Exchequer dams. The eastern portion of a pending development project in the City would also be sited in the Exchequer Dam Inundation Area, and potential near-term development in this area could place additional people and properties at risk to dam incidents.

The City's Public Works Department Water Division provides potable water supply to all residential and commercial customers in the City. The City also provides water for fire protection uses. They currently serve approximately 3,089 single-family customers, 67 multi-family customers, and 145 commercial and industrial customers (UWMP 2020). Their main potable water source is groundwater from the Delta-Mendota Subbasin within the San Joaquin River Hydrologic Region. The City's groundwater supply is provided via five groundwater wells: four active wells and one standby well each ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 gallons per minute in capacity. Given the water quality in the region has high salinity issues and because the City's Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard M1t1gat1on Plan I 2022 -2027 Update Page 14 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
groundwater basins have limited resources, the City has explored diversifying its water supply (UWMP 2020). The City's LPT also agrees that drought impacts could impact the City in the future depending on the extent and severity of drought events in the region. However, because the City has recently updated their 2020 UWMP, has a Water Contingency Plan in place, and enforces Ordinance No. 2015-2, Water Conservation and Education among other water conservation measures, drought is not a priority hazard at this time.
2.3.3 Earthquake
The City of Newman and surrounding areas' historical earthquake activity is below California's state average. No known faults are located in the Newman area, but the City is between two seismically active regions in the Sierra foothills and the Coast Range, and closer to the active faults in the Coast Range than the rest of the cities in Stanislaus County.
The nearest known fault is the Great Valley Thrust Fault System approximately 3.3 miles west of Newman.
The Great Valley Thrust Fault System belongs to the Ortigalita Fault Zone, which is designated as an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. This fault has not been active in historic times; however, there is no guarantee that it will never become active again. The City of Newman is also close to the San Joaquin Fault, which is 7 miles southwest of Newman. There is no record of any seismic activity originating within the City; however, Stanislaus County has been shaken by earthquakes that originated elsewhere. Other regional faults that can impact the City include the San Andreas fault zone, Hayward fault zone, ClaytonMarsh Creek-Greenville fault zone, and the Rescue Lineament-Bear Mountain fault zone (City of Newman 2007). There is also documented evidence of seven earthquakes that shook the Stanislaus County area; those occurred in 1872, 1906, 1926, 1930, 1952, 1966, 1984, 1986, and 1989, and more recently in 2021 when residents felt the 6.0 magnitude earthquake centered in the Little Antelope Valley along the California/Nevada border (Gerike 2021 ). Minor damage has been recorded throughout the County from earthquakes with epicenters in surrounding areas like the Diablo Mountain Range and other active coastal faults, though major damage occurred from the 1906 Los Banos earthquake. While the City of Newman has not experienced the same level of seismic activity as the Bay Area, earthquakes are still a hazard for the community (City of Newman 2007).
Based on the earthquake shaking potential mapped for Stanislaus County and the City of Newman, due to the proximity to the Great Valley Thrust Fault System, Ortigalita Fault Zone and the San Joaquin Fault, and the history of shaking with no surface rupture, means the probability of damaging seismic ground shaking in the City of Newman is considered as occasional. Other hazards associated with earthquake activity, such as lateral spreading, surface cracking or differential setting, are considered unlikely to occur, although no studies have been conducted to determine the likelihood of these hazards. The extent of seismic hazards in the City is also not only a result of the type and proximity of faults in the area, but also based on soil types that can extenuate or reduce ground shaking.
The City of Newman is developed on an alluvium deposit soil type of varying depths that can increase ground shaking during an earthquake. When earthquakes occur on these soil types the waves generated by the earthquake pass from more dense rock to less dense alluvial or water-saturated materials, and they tend to reduce in velocity, increase in amplitude, and accelerate more rapidly (City of Newman 2007).
According to the City's Health and Safety Element, the structures in the City located on these soil types suffer greater damage than those located on solid rock (City of Newman 2007). With the exception of some historic masonry buildings in downtown Newman noted by the City's LPT, most of the City's buildings consists of one- or two-story wood-constructed buildings, which is more structurally resistant to ground shaking (City of Newman 2007). Lastly, the City has some potential for compaction of soils caused by ground shaking due to the alluvial soil types, and as a result an earthquake could also damage streets and infrastructure.
2.3.4 Extreme Heat
The frequency of heat waves has been increasing in recent years across the County and the City of Newman. As noted in the County Base Plan, climate change will continue to cause more extreme heat events and studies show that, by the end of this century, the number of days with temperatures reaching or exceeding 100°F is projected to increase as a result of climate change. As temperatures rise and extreme heat events last longer and become more severe and frequent, they will result in a rise in health problems and deaths caused by heat.
Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard M1tigat1on Plan I 2022-2027 Update Page 15 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
Some households in the City of Newman lack air conditioning systems, and the City may need to upgrade existing cooling centers and facilities with new HVAC equipment and permanent backup power to provide the community with a safe and cool place during extreme heat events.
2.3.5 Flood
The primary types of flood events in Stanislaus County that may impact the City of Newman are riverine and localized flooding. Regardless of the type of flood, the cause is often the result of severe weather and excessive rainfall, either in the flood area, upstream, or from winter snowmelt.
Areas in the western part of the City of Newman have been determined to be in the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) or 100-year floodplain and also 500-year floodplain. The physical risks associated with potential flooding and the regulatory requirements for floodplain management are important considerations when decisions are being made regarding future land use throughout the City of Newman.
The rest of Newman lies outside the 100-year floodplain designated by FEMA, key critical infrastructure associated with the City's wastewater system may be vulnerable to flooding. Also, based on the history of flooding in the County of Stanislaus, much of the City of Newman and surrounding areas are considered likely to have the hazard potential for future flooding, particularly shallow flooding from overflow from Orestimba Creek, which originates in the Coast Range mountains and flows east into the Central Valley just outside the City of Newman. According to the City's LPT, much of the northeastern portion of the City floods before overtopping the railroad and slowly flooding eastward (City of Newman 2007).
A flood vulnerability assessment was completed during the 2021 update, following the methodology described in Section 4 of the Base Plan. FEMA 1 % and 0.2% annual chance floodplains within the City of Newman are shown in Figure 2-2. Table 2-4 and Table 2-5 summarize the values at risk in the City's 1 % and 0.2% annual chance floodplain.

The potential loss is estimated at around $39. 7 million if these areas were inundated by the 1 % annual chance flood. In addition, the City of Newman has 547 improved parcels located within the 0.2 annual chance floodplain for a total value of around $98. 7 million.
The potential loss is estimated at around $24. 7 million if these areas were inundated by the 0.2% annual chance flood. The population at risk was calculated for the 1 % and 0.2% annual chance floodplains based on the number of residential properties at risk and the average number of persons per household (3.32).
There are an estimated 1,005 persons at risk to 1% annual chance flood and 1,780 persons at risk to 0.2% annual chance flood in the City of Newman.

Other localized flooding in the City is associated with the Orestimba Creek overflow flooding that occurs in areas within the FEMA 100-year floodplain, but also occurs more frequently as shallow overland flooding that is generally less than two feet deep and characterized by various flow paths (City of Newman 2007).
As described by the City's LPT, shallow flooding occurs within and just outside the City because as the Creek's channel and slope gradually diminish downstream, the capacity of Orestimba Creek is reduced as the surface water flows into the City. Debris and sediment builds up in the Creek's channel and the bridges at SR 33 and the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks further downstream reduce the capacity of the Creek.
According to the City's LPT, during rain events, localized flooding occurs along the Central California Irrigation District (CCID) canal, SR 33, and the railroad crossing; these are all areas of concern in the southeastern portion of the City. According to the City's Health and Safety Element, while some of the Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 12022-2027 Update Page 19 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
floodwaters overtop the canal embankments, floodwater is also directed towards the City (City of Newman 2007). Little structural damage occurs because the flooding is shallow and has little velocity, but several of the notable floods recorded in the flood profile County's Base Plan, including the 1958, 1985, 1995, and 1998 floods damaged properties and roads.
Critical Facilities at Risk
Critical facilities are those community components that are most needed to withstand the impacts of disaster as previously described. Table 2-6 and Table 2-7 lists the critical facilities in the City's 1 % and 0.2% annual chance floodplains respectively. Figure 2-4 shows the location of the critical facilities in the City's 1 % and
0.2% annual percent chance floodplains. There are a total of 14 facilities potentially exposed to a 1 % annual chance flood event, including the Station 55 of the Newman Volunteer Fire Department, Newman City Hall, Newman Water Department Elevated Water Tank, Newman Water Well #5, Newman Water Department Maintenance Office/Water Well 1 R, and City of Newman Museum. There are also seven facilities potentially exposed to a 0.2% annual chance flood event, including two cell towers, two cooling stations (including the City's library), one water well, one recreation center, and one day care facility. The impact on the community could be great if any of these facilities are damaged or destroyed during a flood event.

Insurance Coverage, Claims Paid, and Repetitive Losses
The City of Newman joined the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) on September 29, 1978. NFIP Insurance data indicates that as of April 2022, there were 136 flood insurance policies in force in the City with $34, 148,300 of coverage. 121 of the policies are in A-zones and are located in single family residential.
There has been 27 historical claims for flood losses totaling $329,075. According to the FEMA Community Information System accessed April 6, 2022, the City has had six Repetitive Loss properties but no Severe Repetitive Loss properties.
Future Development
The results of the SOI and flood analysis are shown in Table 2-9 and Table 2-9. These indicate the risk to existing development that could be under the City's jurisdiction if the area was annexed.

2.3.6 Severe Weather: Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms, Hail, and Lightning As described in the Base Plan, severe weather events such as heavy rain, thunderstorms, hail and lightning have occurred and are highly like to continue to occur in Stanislaus County and the City of Newman. Based on historical data, there is a 73.6 percent chance that a major hail, heavy rain, or lightning event will happen in any given year. Moreover, climatic factors will continue influencing the weather and climate in the County and the City of Newman. As average temperatures increase over time, this could result in more frequent extreme weather events. During the planning process, the City's LPT also expressed concern regarding the potential impacts that severe weather events could have on the City.
2.3. 7 Wildfire
Given the majority of the area around the City consists of agricultural lands, the City has little risk to wildfires.
Agricultural decreases the risk of wildfire because most farmlands consist of irrigated fields and crops with limited vegetative fuels. As shown in Figure 2-5, there are only a few insignificant moderate fire threat spots within the City most of which consist of vegetation brush along the San Joaquin River. Therefore, the direct threat of wildfire hazards is rated as low for the City. However, the City is exposed to dense smoke and Stanislaus County Multi-Junsd1ct1onal Hazard M1t1gat1on Plan I 2022-2027 Update Page 22 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
poor air quality from wildfires in the Diablo Range, several of which occurred in recent years, such as the SCU Lightning Complex Fire. This wildfire and other have resulted in indirect impacts on the City associated with days and sometimes weeks of poor air quality resulting in a significant hazard for the City.

The rest of the City's fire risk is associated with urban structural fires within the developed downtown portion of the City. Generally, these fire hazards are greatest in older or substandard buildings or structures (City of Newman 2007). Other fire risk in the urban areas of the City are associated with gas lines. This infrastructure can be vulnerable to urban fire due to age and following an earthquake. However, this risk can be reduced by upgrading and replacing old gas lines or educating the public to turn off gas on their properties following an earthquake. In summary, the City has a low risk to wildfires.

3 CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT
Capabilities are the programs and policies currently in use to reduce hazard impacts or that could be used to implement hazard mitigation activities. This capabilities assessment is divided into five sections:
regulatory mitigation capabilities, administrative and technical mitigation capabilities, fiscal mitigation capabilities, mitigation outreach and partnerships, and other mitigation efforts. To develop this capability assessment, the jurisdictional planning representatives reviewed a matrix of common mitigation activities to inventory which of these policies or programs and shared any updates or changes through the Newman Data Collection Guide. The team then supplemented this inventory by reviewing additional existing policies, regulations, plans, and programs to determine if they contribute to reducing hazard-related losses.
During the plan update process, this inventory was reviewed by the jurisdictional planning representatives and Wood consultant team staff to update information where applicable and note ways in which these capabilities have improved or expanded. Additionally, in summarizing current capabilities and identifying gaps, the jurisdictional planning representatives also considered their ability to expand or improve upon existing policies and programs as potential new mitigation strategies. The City of Newman's capabilities are summarized below.
3.1 Regulatory Capability
The regulatory and planning capabilities table lists planning and land management tools typically used by local jurisdictions to implement hazard mitigation activities. The table below indicates those that are in place in the City of Newman.

Newman 2030 General Plan (2007)
The Newman 2030 General Plan provides the fundamental basis for the City's land use and development policy, and represents the basic community values, ideals and aspirations to govern a shared environment through 2030. The General Plan addresses all aspects of development including land use, community character, transportation, housing, public facilities, infrastructure and open space, among other topics.
The overall role of the Newman General Plan is to:
• Define a realistic vision of what the City desires to be in 25 years. • Express the policy direction of the City of Newman in regard to the physical, social, economic, cultural and environmental character of the city.
• Serve as a comprehensive guide for making decisions about land use, community character, circulation, open space, the environment, and public health and safety. • Serve as the City's "constitution" for land use and community development. That is, it is to provide the legal foundation for all zoning, subdivision and public facilities ordinances, decisions and projects, all of which must be consistent with the proposed General Plan. • Be in a clear and easy to understand form that encourages public debate and understanding.
The City of Newman did not participate in the 2017 LHMP process. For this reason, the County's 2017 LHMP was not incorporated into the City's Health & Safety Element.
Civil Defense and Disaster Council Ordinance, Chapter 2.02 The purpose of the Civil Defense and Disaster Council Ordinance is to provide for the preparation and carrying out of plans for the protection of persons and property within the City in the event of an emergency.
The Ordinance provides direction for the Emergency Organization and the coordination of the emergency functions of the City with all other public agencies, corporations, organizations and affected private persons in the City. It also establishes the Disaster Council membership, the Disaster Council powers and duties, and ensuring unity of purpose.
The Ordinance also established the Operational Area Council. The Operational Area Council is responsible for coordinating, reviewing, and recommending for approval all emergency or disaster response policies, procedures, plans, and other influencing factors or events that would affect the Stanislaus Operational Area.
The Operation Area Council does not have operational duties or powers during an event or emergency and is created to serve in the preparedness and planning phases only. Moreover, the Ordinance appoints the City Manager as the Director of Emergency Services. The Director is empowered to request the City Council to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a "local emergency" if the City Council is in session, or to issue such proclamation if the City Council is not in session. The Director is also empowered to request the Governor to proclaim a "state of emergency" when, in the opinion of the Director, the locally available resources are inadequate to cope with the emergency.
Fire Code, Chapter 7.04
The City of Newman adopts by reference the California Fire Code, 2019 Edition of the California Code of Regulations Title 24. The Fire Code regulates the safeguarding of life and property from fire and explosion hazards arising from the storage, handling, and use of hazardous substances, materials and devices, and from conditions hazardous to life or property in the occupancy of buildings. The Code also authorizes the City to issue permits, collect fees, and provide penalties for the violation of each and all of the regulations, provisions, penalties, conditions and terms of the California Fire Code, 2019 Edition.
Floodplain Management Ordinance Chapter 4.11
The purpose of the City's Floodplain Management Ordinance is to promote public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by legally enforceable regulations. These regulations are applied to all publicly and privately owned land within floodprone, mudslide, or flood-related erosion areas. These regulations are designed to protect human life and health; minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects; minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding; and minimize prolonged business interruptions. The Floodplain Stanislaus County Multi-Junsd1ct1onal Hazard M1tigat1on Plan / 2022-2027 Update Page 25 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
Management Ordinance is in place to minimize damage to public facilities and utilities in SFHAs and help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound development of areas of special flood hazard. The Ordinance also ensures that potential buyers are notified that property is in a SFHA and ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions.
Residential construction, new or substantial improvement, shall have the lowest floor, including basement in an AO Zone, elevated above the highest adjacent grade to a height equal to or exceeding the depth number specified in feet on the FIRM, or elevated at least two feet above the highest adjacent grade if no depth number is specified. Upon the completion of the structure, the elevation of the lowest floor including basement shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor and verified by the Community Building Inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification and verification shall also be provided to the Floodplain Administrator and is required within six months of project completion, submittal of technical data to FEMA for a letter of map revision.
Storm Water Management and Discharge Control, Chapter 11.12 The purpose the Storm Water Management and Discharge Control minimum storm water management requirements and controls to protect and safeguard the general health, safety and welfare of the public residing in watersheds within the City of Newman. The Ordinance aims to meet this purpose by complying with all Federal and State laws, lawful standards and orders applicable to storm water and urban runoff pollution control; prohibiting discharge which may interfere with the operation of, or cause any damage to, the storm drain system or impair the beneficial use of the receiving waters; and by prohibiting illicit discharges into the storm drain system. The Ordinance also aims to reduce non-storm water discharge to the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable, minimize increases in storm water runoff from any development in order to reduce flooding, siltation and stream bank erosion and maintain the integrity of drainage channels, and minimize increases in non-point source pollution caused by storm water runoff from development that would otherwise degrade local water quality. The Ordinance also contains controls to minimize the total annual volume of surface water runoff that flows from any specific site during and following development to not exceed the predevelopment hydrologic regime to the maximum extent practicable. It additionally aims to reduce storm water runoff rates and volumes, soil erosion and non-point source pollution through storm water management controls.

3.4 Outreach and Partnerships
The City of Newman partners with the Stanislaus County Office of Emergency Services (OES) Division.
The Stanislaus County OES is responsible for the day-to-day administration of Stanislaus County's disaster preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery programs. OES develops and maintains the Stanislaus County Emergency Operations Plan and its associated annexes. OES also coordinates training, planning and exercises for first responders throughout the Stanislaus Operational Area. According to Stanislaus County OES' 2021 - Emergency Management Strategic Plan, OES listed "increase number of outreach engagements (i.e. meetings, events) as an action item to achieve one of its strategic goals, which is to build a culture of preparedness. The Stanislaus County OES will work with community partners to develop agreements for mutual aid, facilitate discussion with partners regarding preparedness planning, conduct outreach activities to engage residents, and attend emergency management trainings and conferences to stay up to date with the most current practices for disaster preparedness. The City also works in coordination with the County on the Stanislaus County MJHMP.
Other outreach and partnership involves disaster preparedness for all of the jurisdictions within the County, including the City of Newman. This education program is in coordination and partnerships with county and the cities' departments with education programs including the Sheriffs Office, Police Departments, Fire Departments, Agricultural Commissioner, and the Department of Public Health.
During the 2021 planning process the following outreach efforts were identified that the City of Newman could support related to hazard mitigation:

• FEMA Informational Brochures
• Warning, Safety, and Evacuation Information (Stanislaus County MJHMP, City of Newman EOP) • Social Media (Facebook, lnstagram)
• Emergency Preparedness Plan and Checklist
Education and outreach efforts, as well as emergency response planning, will need to address the needs of low-income residents, DACs, and the large Spanish-speaking population. In past emergencies, volunteers have also organized spontaneously to help those with mobility issues.
3.5 Other Mitigation Efforts
In addition to the projects identified in the City's Mitigation Action plan the City of Newman's Fire Department conducts annual fire and life safety inspections for all businesses. The City oversees the implementation of emergency preparedness programs and public education prior to severe weather events, which include the distribution of sandbags and other measures to prepare residents for local flooding. The City administers various heating and cooling centers during extreme temperature events, and for use during Public Safety Power Shutoff events. They City also has a recharge station. The City also oversees the implementation of a robust public education and outreach program for all hazards, but specifically for flood hazards, water conservation, and other pertinent hazard issues.
3.6 Opportunities for Enhancement
Based on the capability assessment, the City of Newman has existing regulatory, administrative/technical, fiscal mechanisms in place that help to mitigate hazards. In addition to these existing capabilities, there are opportunities for the City to expand or improve on these policies and programs to further protect the community. These are organized below by regulatory, administrative/technical, fiscal, and outreach opportunities.
Regulatory Opportunities
Future opportunities for regulatory enhancement should focus on compliance with Assembly Bill 2140, including amending the City of Newman General Plan Safety Element to incorporate the 2021-2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP and City of Newman Annex by reference.
Administrative/Technical Opportunities
Other future enhancements may include providing hazard training for staff or hazard mitigation grant funding in partnership with Stanislaus County and Cal OES. Existing City staff are aware of the benefits of participating in training and webinars offered by Cal OES Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Team related to HMGP opportunities, HMGP Subapplication Development support, and other funding programs, such as Prepare California Jumpstart. Other opportunities may be related to coordinating and educating key stakeholders in the City. Each stakeholder group at the City that has been involved in the development of the LHMP and may be interested in aligning efforts related to hazard mitigation and also supporting HMGP Sub applications and other hazard mitigation trainings.
Fiscal Opportunities
The City can update other plans, such as their CIP to incorporate hazard information and include hazard mitigation actions and climate adaptation strategies that relate to infrastructure systems resiliency associated with the water and wastewater systems. Once projects related to hazard mitigation are approved, the recent CIP can be shared with the community on the City's webpage. Capital investments and improvements related to seismic retrofits, cooling center upgrades, and WWTP upgrades should all be emphasized in the outreach materials as they related to hazard mitigation. Additionally, given the prioritization of local stormwater flooding mitigation projects, the City should apply for HMGP grants to fund implementation costs associated with key CIP projects, and related projects in the City's mitigation strategy.
These fiscal capabilities may be supported by City staff or augmented with Consultant staff.
Stanislaus County Multi-Junsd1ct1onal Hazard M1t1gation Plan j 2022-2027 Update Page 29 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex D: City of Newman
Outreach Opportunities
The City can also expand their outreach capabilities related to the implementation of the 2021-2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP and the City of Newman Annex. Specific enhancements may include continued public involvement through social media posts and advertisements focused on projects successes related to the Annex Mitigation Strategy, focused outreach to under-represented and special-interest groups in the City. The City can also develop outreach kits for partner organizations. 4 MITIGATION STRATEGY
4.1 Goals and Objectives
The City of Newman adopted the hazard mitigation goals and objectives developed by the HMPC and described in Section 5 Mitigation Strategy of the Base Plan. Like the Mitigation Strategy in the Base Plan, this section outlines the City's roadmap for future hazard mitigation administration and implementation. The purpose of the strategy is to reduce vulnerabilities from key priority hazards outlined in the risk assessment through regulatory tools and projects.
4.2 Continued Compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program The City has been an NFIP participating community since 1984. In addition to the mitigation actions identified herein the City will continue to comply with the NFIP. Floodplain management is under the purview of the City's Public Works Department. This includes ongoing activities such as enforcing local floodplain development regulations, including issuing permits for appropriate development in Special Flood Hazard Areas and ensuring that this development mitigated in accordance with the regulations. This will also include periodic reviews of the floodplain ordinance to ensure that it is clear and up to date and reflects new or revised flood hazard mapping.
4.3 Mitigation Actions
The LPT for the City identified and prioritized the following new mitigation actions based on risk assessments, goals, and objectives. Background information as well as information on how the action will be implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible office, partners, potential funding, estimated cost, and timeline also are described. Because the City did not participate in the 2017 LHMP the LPT did not have existing mitigation actions to review and did not provide status updates on past hazard mitigation planning efforts.
The mitigation strategy includes only those actions and projects which reflect the actual priorities and capacity of the jurisdiction to implement over the next five years covered by this plan. It should further be noted, that although a jurisdiction may not have specific projects identified for each significant (medium or high) hazard for the five-year coverage of this planning process, each jurisdiction has focused on identifying those projects which are realistic and reasonable for them to implement. Should future projects be identified for priority hazards where the implementing jurisdiction has the capacity to implement, the jurisdiction would add those projects to their Annex. The City also recognizes that other mitigation actions proposed in the County's mitigation strategy will cover the significant hazards in the City that are not currently linked to a mitigation action.

5 IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE
Moving forward, the City will use the mitigation action table in the previous section to track progress on implementation of each project. Implementation of the plan overall is discussed in Section 6 in the Base Plan.
5.1 Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
The information contained within this plan, including results from the Vulnerability Assessment, and the Mitigation Strategy will be used by the City to help inform updates and the development of local plans, programs and policies. The City's Public Works Department may use the hazard information when implementing the City's Capital Improvement Program and reviewing new water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, and stormwater drainage projects. The Building Department may use the hazard information to inform future building code updates, construction projects, and fire and structural concerns in the City. The Community Development Department may utilize the hazard information when reviewing a site plan or other types of development applications. The City's Community Development Department will also incorporate this MJHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan, as recommended by Assembly Bill (AB) 2140.
As noted in Section 6 of the Base Plan, the LPT representatives from Newman will report on efforts to integrate the hazard mitigation plan into local plans, programs and policies and will report on these efforts at the annual LPT plan review meeting.
5.2 Monitoring, Evaluation and Updating the Plan
The City will follow the procedures to monitor, review, and update this plan in accordance with Stanislaus County as outlined in Section 6 of the Base Plan. The city will continue to involve the public in mitigation, as described in Section 6.2.1 of the Base Plan. The Fire Chief or Emergency M will be responsible for representing the City in the County LPT, and for coordination with City staff and departments during plan updates. The City realizes it is important to review the plan regularly and update it every five years in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act Requirements as well as other State of California requirements.
