Subject: Approve Cost Proposal from Buke Construction for the Construction of the City Hall Remodel Project
Attachments: Resolution No. 2022-04
Cost Proposal from Buke Construction dated December 18, 2021 RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached cost proposal from Buke Construction dated December 18, 2021, for the construction of the City Hall Remodel Project and authorize the Interim City Manager to use American Rescue Plan funds for the construction of the Project.
BACKGROUND:
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
This economic stimulus bill includes $350 billion in direct, flexible aid to states, territories, tribes, cities, and counties. These funds must be spent by December 31, 2026 and must be used on COVID related expenses.
The Orange Cove City Hall is in desperate need of repairs. The existing carpet throughout the building and tile flooring in the bathrooms is rundown and difficult to clean and sanitize. Staff is proposing to replace the existing flooring with new laminate flooring, which will improve the quality of the building and make it easier for janitorial staff to keep clean. Additionally, the desk area in the front office has been in place for several decades and the existing layout make it difficult to implement COVID-19 related protection to keep staff safe and healthy. Staff is also proposing to replace the existing desks with new desks that will allow the City to implement COVID-19 safety measures.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Rudy Hernandez, Interim City Manager
DATE: January 12, 2021
SUBJECT: Orange Cove Energy Efficiency Project
Summary
Over the past number of years staff have met with a variety of companies that provide various energy efficiency solutions. In general, the projects proposed have been large scale projects which (upon staff review) seemed to be overly large fiscal commitments which may have been difficult to carry forward (from a financing perspective) with minimal risk. More recently, SitelogiQ has approached the City of Orange Cove to discuss a potential project within the city. SitelogiQ is an energy efficiency company which is semi unique in that it is also a general contractor of energy efficiency projects. SitelogiQ performed a preliminary energy audit of all City facilities and was tasked with creating a smaller scale project for City consideration. After a significant amount of analysis SitelogiQ met with City staff to propose the most economically feasible solar locations, as well as lighting upgrades. The sites proposed for potential lighting upgrades include the Community Center, Police Department, Fire Department, City Hall, Senior Center and Julia A. Lopez Child Development Center.
Subsequently, SitelogIQ also proposed a project location at the Wastewater Treatment Facility for possible solar as the Wastewater Treatment Facility is the City's largest power On December 15", 2021 a special meeting was held to discuss the final cost and savings of the above propased locations. The final project cost for "phase 1" identified is approximately $2,228,616. SiteloglQ has proposed one funding option that was discussed at length during the presentation. In broad terms, the funding option proposed would make use of the California Energy Commission, Energy Conservation Assistance Act One Percent Loan Program (CEC ECAA Loan) and would result in a net 30-year savings of approximately $7,474,874. As an added benefit, the CEC will conduct at no cost to the city a thorough third- party review of Sitelog/Q's costs, as well as savings calculations. If council approves Sitelog|Q's Contract, SitelogiQ will complete the ECAA. Loan application and submit the completed loan documents to the CEC on behalf of the City of Orange Cove.
As mentioned in previous staff reports, there was a key motivation to moving quickly with regards to a decision to institute a solar energy efficiency project. This related to an upcoming potential rule change by the CPUC that would greatly reduce, California net metering policy Staff Report
which could potentially cut the value of solar credits by up to 75%. Fortunately for the City, ace approving the Letter of Agreement with Sitelogi, the SitelogiQ team has successfu bmitted on behalf of the City, an interconnection application with PG&E which guarante the City will be grandfathered into the favorable NEM 2.0 rate schedule, and thereby will not be negatively affected by the upcoming changes to the net metering policy.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve SitelogiQ's Construction Agreement and Operations & Maintenance Agreement and approve the attached 4217, CEQA exemption and CEC resolutions which authorize the City Manager and SitelogiQ to submit the loan documents to the CEC.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As stated previously, the final project cost of $2,228,616 that is proposed to be funded entirely by the CEC ECAA Loan and will generate an approximate 30-year net saving to the City of $7,474,874 (roughly 30% general fund, 70% wastewater enterprise fund).
Additionally, the CEC ECAA Loan documents state "(The obligation of the borrower to make such payments shall be limited to the savings realized by the Borrower as a result of implementing the Project funded by the Loan) "Meaning, if for any reason the City does not realize the saving the CEC and SitelogiQ have calculated, the City is not responsible for making the full payment.
The previously stated short term fiscal impact cost of $900 - $1,500 to be paid directly to PG&E for a Preliminary Interconnection Application Fee has been paid for by SitelogiQ in order to expedite the submittal of the City's Interconnection Application.

1.0 BASIS OF ENERGY ENGINEERING
Forecasted energy savings are the difference between the pre- and post-retrofit period consumption for the equipment included in the scope of Work. The pre-retrofit (or Baseline) data for this project covers the period from May 2020 through April 2021. The Baseline data takes into consideration the quantity of facilities and size; 2020/2021 building operational schedules; occupancy factors and utilization; utility usage, costs and utility rates along with the available average ASHRAE weather files for the closest weather station. Except weather files, this data has been obtained from the City.
Since Contractor does not control/follow the building operations on a day-by-day basis, It is virtually impossible to track the energy consumption and savings from utility bills due to many dynamic factors that are out of Contractor's control. These factors (permanent or temporary) include, but are not limited to: weather changes; changes in the use of any facility and number of occupants (including, but not limited to, staff and faculty); changes to the hours of operation of any facility; changes to the control system scheduling; changes or modifications to the equipment or services provided under this Agreement; changes in utility suppliers, method of utility billing, number of days in the billing cycle, utility rates or method of utility purchasing; improper maintenance of the equipment or of any energy-consuming equipment; changes to the equipment or to any facility required by changes to building codes; additions or deletions of energy-consuming equipment; personal portable heaters; refrigerators and vending machines and/or additions or deletions of any facilities (i.e. portable classroom buildings), etc.
SIQ/City of Orange Cove

Therefore, engineering calculations approach is based on a measure-by-measure (ECM-by-ECM) basis and is to be derived by comparing the specific value of physical parameters after the installation to its value prior to the installations. For example: lighting systems retrofit (see below) will result in lower wattage consumption than Baseline scenario. This measure is not affected by weather changes, HVAC or other unrelated equipment energy consumption that are reflected in the utility bills. Below are some key characteristics and features of the measure-by-measure energy saving calculations method:
• It calculates savings based on City inputs, field measurements, and agreed upon assumptions and stipulations.
• It does not involve utility bill comparisons; however, utility bills may be analyzed to identify energy consuming trends and correlations.
• It is structured so that the individual measure's savings, as described in Scope of Work, shall not be affected by unrelated building modifications.
In any event, the overall energy use of the facility would be lower than if the energy saving measures (retrofits) identified in the facility solutions project herein had not been implemented.
If desired, Contractor may provide additional utility data analysis and benchmarking based on the standard engineering principals for an additional fee (excluded from this Scope of Work). The City is to notify Contractor in writing no later than thirty (30) days after any changes as outlined above made to the Property that would affect the energy usage at the Property. The City shall make available to Contractor no later than thirty (30) days upon receipt, on a monthly basis for at least one year after Completion and Acceptance Date, copies of required energy bills, energy usage data, and any other such documentation related to changes to energy usage as outlined above.
Scope of Work presented herein is based on retrofits feasibility, cost effectiveness and maximum energy savings for the different ECM's. Equipment brand and/or materials noted herein can be substituted with equal equipment/materials based on the availability and costs at the time of the scheduled installation, constructability and other considerations as determined by the engineer and project manager.
In order to achieve energy savings in the future years and for trouble-free operation, City agrees to maintain and service the equipment and systems included in the Scope of Work per equipment manufacturer's guidelines and in accordance with industry standards as applicable to the specific systems. The City may need to provide accurate preventative maintenance and repair records for any work performed on the systems included herein.
2.0 GENERAL LIGHTING SCOPE OF WORK
SIQ/City of Orange Cove
12/30/21 49
Energy savings are realized as result of the total input watts of the lighting fixtures being reduced. Energy savings resulting from the Lighting System Retrofit have been estimated for each individual light fixture type based on the following simple formula:
Annual Saving, $ = (Existing Watts - New Watts) /1000 x Hours/Year x Utility Rate x N Where,
Existing Watts - Wattage rating for the existing (Baseline) light fixture New Watts - New wattage rating for the existing light fixture Hours/Year- Annual number of "burn-hours" (run hours for different areas) Utility Rate - Actual weighted composite utility rate, $/kWh N~ Number of light fixtures of the particular type (see below for the actual quantities).
Currently the (8) sites have a mixture of lighting technologies. In general, past modernization and retrofit projects included the upgrading of several sites with first generation electronic ballasts and T8 fluorescent lamps. Areas not inclusive of these past projects are still using older style inefficient T12 fluorescent lamps.
This project will provide a significant energy reduction while greatly improving the overall quality and quantity of light. T12 fluorescent lamps included in the Lighting Scope of Work below will be replaced with High Efficiency low wattage 4th generation electronic ballasts coupled with LE.D. lamps. In addition to the linear fluorescent fixture retrofits, incandescent and CFL lamps identified in the scope of work below will be replaced with LE.D. lamps or fixtures unless specifically excluded.
Exterior lighting included in this project will be replaced with new L.E.D. fixtures or lamps as applicable.
In areas (if any) with bi-level lighting in linear lamp applications, our standard retrofit practice includes "checker-boarding" luminaires.
Expended lighting lamps and ballasts will be disposed of per current EPA regulations. Any lighting ballasts removed that contain PB's will be treated as Hazardous waste and disposed of per EPA hazardous waste regulations.
Unless specifically requested by the City, the intent of lighting retrofit Work is not to increase the light levels but rather to maintain the existing or better lighting levels while maximize energy savings without re-designing the overall system. In some cases, where the areas are over illuminated (per Illumination Engineering Society recommendations), light levels may be reduced to the recommended levels.
Scope of Work presented herein is based on retrofits feasibility, cost effectiveness and maximum energy savings for the different options. The presented retrofits will not affect the SIQ/City of Orange Cove
12/30/21 50
usability of the buildings or facilities and therefore are not alterations, additions, new construction or modification of the existing systems. The proposed Lighting Retrofits predominantly use Type A LED lamps combined with high efficiency ballast. This retrofit will not modify or alter the existing T-Bar ceiling and existing fixtures. Therefore, this scope is considered general maintenance and not a modification and/or replacement of the fixture.
As a result, the scope of work is considered maintenance replacement of the existing outdated lighting system components with like-kind components of higher efficiency and longer useful life. Maintenance related items are not considered lighting alterations and are exempted from many Title 24 provisions for the new installations. Due to the possibility of dissimilar interpretations of regulations, additional cost-incurring system upgrades may be requested.
Upon the City requesting changes based on interpretations, the Contractor will provide a written change order to the City for review and approval.
The following rooms at the listed sites below were locked at the time of the lighting audit. As a result, Contractor has assumed fixture type and quantity based on surrounding areas. If those assumptions are incorrect, Contractor will notify City of any additional costs or credits. • Senior Center: (3) Offices.
Community Center: Room at west end of hallway.
BMX Track Building: First floor room.
All the new fixtures listed below are covered with 1-year parts & labor warranty by Contractor and additional 4-year manufacturer's materials warranty.
Below is the Itemized Scope of work below for specific retrofit strategies and fixture totals for each site:

Annual Energy Production Evaluation
Cumulative Annual Energy Production Measurement
The Cumulative Annual Energy Production is the actual AC electrical output in kilowatt-hours (kWh) for the Annual Production Period as measured and recorded by all of the Systems revenue meter(s) and adjusted for meter calibration error, if required.
Expected Annual Energy Production Calculation
At the completion of each Annual Production Period, the Operator shall update the software model of the Systems to calculate the Expected Annual Energy Production of the Systems for that period for comparison with the Cumulative Annual Energy Production of the same period. Operator shall use the final software model developed by the Installer as part of the FSA ("System Model").
The model shall use the actual meteorological data from the System weather station at the Site.
The calibration of the weather station instruments shall be checked as recommended by the manufacturer by a qualified testing agency using test instruments traceable to recognized national calibration standards. A report of the instrument calibration status shall be prepared by the testing agency detailing any deviation in meter values from the standard outside of the meter manufacturer's acceptable range. Data affected by instruments found out of calibration may be reviewed and adjusted by mutual agreement between the City and Operator. final installed System: The input values used in the System Model shall include the following parameters based on the • Albedo
• Module orientation
• Shading
• Equipment models and configuration
• Module thermal parameters
: Obnic losses
Module quality and mismatch losses
• Soiling losses, adjusted for calendar month and washing frequency • IAM losses
Hidden parameters and preferences within the model shall remain at default values unless noted and justified. All input parameter values and assumptions shall be provided with the model for review, and shall remain consistent from year to year.
The following factors shall be adjusted in the System Model each year of operation:
Actual weather data for the Annual Production Period

City of Orange Cove Solar O&M Agreement 12/30/2021
• Manufacturer Module degradation factors (Manufacturer Module Power Output Warranty) • Adjustments per Section 5(g), 5(h), 5(i), and 5(i)
The final model calculation shall detail the Expected Annual Energy Production on an hourly basis (8760 hours per year) in addition to a total output value in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Annual Energy Production Evaluation
The measured Cumulative Annual Energy Production value for the System shall be compared with the calculated Expected Annual Energy Production value and evaluated as described in Section 5, Operator's Guarantee, of this Agreement.
A. Modeled Annual Energy Production Caleulation
The temperature-derate model used by Operator to determine the modeled level of production a system. The system losses, DC system size, CEC inverter efficiency, and the panel temperature coefficient is the accumulation of losses, degradation rates, and efficiencies which are evaluated on an annual basis. These losses are initially calculated upon project commissioning and will only be re-calculated if components fail, degrade, or are changed. Cell temperature and POA irradiance are real-time calculations based on measurements from a reference cell.
Our system model is a combination of system specifications, estimated soiling, shade expectations, degradation expectations. This model is calculated by using the single line as-built plans and a production summary report from HelioScope and are re-evaluated for accuracy on an Annual basis.
The Modeled Energy equation is:
Modeled Energy(kW AC) = o x (1 - S) x _ X P X (1 +Y X (T- 25)) 1000
Where:
T = Cell Temperature
S = System Model Loss
1= POA Irradiance
P = DC System Size
* = CEC Inverter Efficiency
y = Temperature Coefficient of the Panel
This modeled production will be compared to actual measured production to calculate operational performance of the system. Unplanned system outages and soiling above expectations will he evaluated and included in system losses.

Subject: Presentation of FY 2019-20 Financial Audit Report Prepared by Price, Page and Company.
Attachments: 1. Audited Financial Statements
2. Corrective Action Plan For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018.
BACKGROUND:
The goal of a financial statement audit is to provide users of a given set of financial statements with independent assurance that they can rely upon the information presented in those financial statements. Auditors use a variety of means to obtain the evidence they need to provide such assurance. Specifically, auditors.
* Inspect relevant documentation
* Observe employee performance
" Inquire concerning policies, procedures, transactions, and events • Confirm balances and transactions with outside parties Perform analytical procedures to determine the reasonableness of transactions and balances
Audit Opinions:
At the conclusion of the audit, the auditor renders an opinion on the overall financial statements of the City. In other words, this is sometimes referred to as a report card. An unmodified opinion can be interpreted as an "A", whereas an adverse opinion can be interpreted as an "F". There are four types of audit opinions that auditors may render on the financial statements which are:
• Unmodified Opinion (Letter Grade "A") - When expressing an unmodified opinion on financial statements, the auditor's opinion should state that the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the entity as of the balance sheet date and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. • Qualified Opinion (Letter Grade "C") - a. The auditor, having obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence, concludes that misstatements, individually or in the aggregate, are material but not pervasive to the financial statements or b. The auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the opinion, but the auditor concludes that the possible effects on the financial statements of undetected misstatements, if any, could be material but not pervasive. • Adverse Opinion (Letter Grade "F") - The auditor should express an adverse opinion when the auditor, having obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence, concludes that misstatements, individually or in the aggregate, are both material and pervasive to the financial statements.
Disclaimer (No letter Grade) - The auditor should disclaim an opinion when the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the opinion, and the auditor concludes that the possible effects on the financial statements, if any, could be both material and pervasive.
Highlights of FY 2019-20 Audit (See Attached Audit Report):
1. Audit Opinion - The City's auditor has rendered an unmodified opinion on the overal! financial statements of the City (Letter Grade "A").
2. General Fund - The City's FY 2019-20 general fund audited fund balance is $1,648,190.
The FY 2019-20 general fund net change in fund balance was ($57,855). This represents the amount by which general fund expenditures exceeded general fund revenues. By Comparison, the FY 2018-19 prior year general fund balance net change in fund balance was ($204,049). I consider the FY 2019-20 audit a remarkable improvement in dealing with the general fund deficit spending. On the positive side of the coin, the City Council has taken steps to address revenue shortfalls which will result in future balance budgets. What this means is that revenues will equal or exceed expenditures.
3. Enterprise Funds (Water/Sewer)) - During FY 2019-20, the water and sewer funds continued to operate with deficit balances. The water fund operating loss with depreciation was ($402,896) and without depreciation was $87,356. Water Non- Operating Revenues (Expenses) were $1,258,660 for a Net Change in Fund Balance of $855,764. The sewer fund operating loss with depreciation was ($565,058) and without depreciation was ($115,559). Sewer Non-Operating Revenues (Expenses) were $249,867 for a Net Change in Fund Balance of ($315,191). During the FY 2020-21 fiscal year, the City Council approved a plan that will erase future deficits and adopt future balance budgets. In addition, the City will work to insure that debt service reserves required by loan resolutions, various bond documents and debt instruments are in full compliance.
4. Audit findings and recommendations - As part of the FY 2019-20 audit, our auditor Price,Page and Company has Identified 4 areas of our internal control structure that they believe could be improved (See attached Corrective Action Plan).As of the date of this staff report (1/26/2022), City staff has addressed and implemented the audit findings.

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, 2020
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activitles are different because:
Net change In fund balance - governmental funds $ 497,506 Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the costs of these assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. In the current period, these amounts are:
Capltal outlay 620,124
Depreciation expense (388,798)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financlal resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, discounts, and simllar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long. term debt and related items.
Repayment of the principal of long-term debt 80,542
Accrued interest payable on long-term debt is reported in the government-wide statement of activities, but does not require the use of current financial resources.
This amount represents the change in accrued interest payable not reported in 1,233
Changes to net pension asset and pension related deferred outflows and inflows of resources do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. (24,844) Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. 70,637 The distribution of housing loans and corresponding payments that were recognized in the governmental funds are not recognized in the statement of activities. 20,850
Compensated absences reported in the statement of activittes do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures - in the funds. (22,331)

Government-Wide Financial Statements - The statement of net position and the statement of activities display information about the primary. government (the City) and its component units. These statements include the financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double-counting of internal activities. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the City. Govermental activities generally are financed through taxes,
intergovernmental revenues, and other non-exchange transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each different identifiable activity of the City's business-type activities and for each function of the City's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are included in the program expense reported for individual functions. Certain indirect costs, which cannot be Identified and broken down, are included in the program expense reported for individual functions or activities.
Program revenues include: 1) fines, fees, and charges paid by the recipients of goods and services offered by the programs and 2) grants

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) B. Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting (Continued)
Governmental Fund Financial Statements - The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds. Separate statements for each fund category - govemmental, proprietary and fiduciary - are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major govermental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. An accompanying schedule is presented to reconcile and explain the differences in funds and changes in fund balances as presented in these statements of net position and changes In net position presented In the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidiaries and investment earnings, result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as nonoperating expenses.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund or the City. It is used for all financial resources except those required legally, or by sound financial management to be accounted for in another fund.
Generally, the General Fund is used to account for traditional governmental services of the City, such as police protection and general administrative services.
Local Transportation Special Revenue Fund - This fund is used to account for transportation funds received from the State of California for related transportation projects and maintenance costs.
Low-Moderate Housing Asset Special Revenue Fund - This fund accounts for the former Orange Cove Redevelopment Agency's affordable housing assets following its dissolution on January 31, 2012.
Housing Grant Special Revenue Fund - This fund is used to account for grant revenues and expenditures related to housing assistance loans for low income individuals.
Daycare Special Revenue Fund - This fund is used to account for grant revenues and expenditures related to the operatlon of the Julia A. Lopez Child Development Center.
Enterprise fund financial statements include a statement of net position, statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position, and a statement of cash flows for each major enterprise fund and nonmajor fund.
The City has three major enterprise funds, the Water, Sewer and Disposal Fund, which are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises. In an enterprise fund, the Intent of the City Council is that costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing services to the general publlo, on a continuing basis, be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. 19 CITY OF ORANGE COVE

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) B. Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting (Continued)
The City reports the following three major enterprise funds:
The Water Fund is used to account for financial activity of the water utility system. • The Sewer Fund is used to account for the financial activity of the sewer utility system. • The Disposal Fund is used to account for the financial activity of the disposal utility system. he City's fiduclary funds are used to account for resources held for the beneflt of parties outside th overnment. The fund's activities are reported in a separate statement of fiduciary net position and a statemen of changes in fiduciary net position. The City uses a private purpose trust fund to account for activities and changes in fiduciary net position of the Successor Agency. This fund is custodial in nature and does not involve measurement of results of operations. Accordingly, it presents only a statement of fiduciary net position and does not present a statement of changes in fiduciary net position.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs.

A. Fair Value Measurements
The framework for measuring falr value provides a fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to
underable inpuls (ov l 3). The thre levels of the fair value niorarchy are desorbed as thowe: st priority to avel 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities i ctive markets that a government can access at the measurement date _evel 2; Inputs to valuation methodology include inputs - other than quoted prices included within Level 1 - hat are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurements.
The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within a fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.
Investments by fair value level Fair Valua Level 1 Level 2 Debt securities:
U.S. Treasury Obligations $ 32,837 $ 32,837 $
U.S. Government Obligations 403,038 403,038
Total debt securities 435,875 $ 32,837 $ 403,038

LAIF 2,683,070
Total investments 3,118,945
The fair values of U.S. treasury bonds are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy. The market for U.S. Treasury Obligations is an actively traded market given the high level of daily trading volume. The fair values of U.S. Government Obligations are determined using a matrix pricing technique that values securities based on their relationship to benchmark quoted prices and are in the Level 2 fair value hierarchy.

G. 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 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 provisions for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by the state or local government 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 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. As of June 30, 2020, the City's balance of $1,926,142 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent, but not in the name of the City.
The custodial risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a governmental will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in possession of another party. The Californla Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal 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 the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).
H. Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the 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 investments 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 for the LAF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

The total plan contributions are determined through CaPERS' annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liabllity. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identifled by the pension plan terms as plan member contribution requirements are classified as plan member contributions.
The City's contributions to the plan recognized as a part of pension expense for the year ended June 30, 2020 were $207,115.

D. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liabillty 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 avallable to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CaPERS took Into account both short-term and long-term market retum expectations as well as the expected Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) cash flows.
Using historical returns of all the 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 single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returs. 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 Retum Real Return
Asset Class (a) Allocation Years 1-10(0) Years 11+(o)
Global Equity 50.0% 4.80% 5.98%

NOTE 15 - SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF THE FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X26 ("the BIll) that dissolved all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action Impacted the reporting entity of the City of Chowchilla that previously had reported a redevelopment agency within the reporting entity of the City as a The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the city or another unit of loca overnment will agree to serve as the "successor agency" to hold the assets until they are distributed to othe units of state and local government. On January 10, 2012, the City Council elected to become the Successo gency for the former redevelopment agency in accordance with the Bill as part of City Resolutto After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assots can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (inclucling the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments.)
In future years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until al enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been The Bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to renew the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually committed to a third party for the expanditure of encumbrance of those assets, the State Controller is required to order the avallable assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill.
Management believes, in consultation with legal counsel, that the obligations of the former redevelopment agency due to the City are valid enforceable obligations payable by the successor agency trust under the requirements of the Bill. The City's position on this issue Is not a position of settled law and there is considerable uncertainty regarding this issue. It is reasonably possible that a legal determination may be made at a later date by an appropriate judicial authority that would resolve this issue favorably to the City.
In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011) all redevelopment agencies in the State of Californla were dissolved and ceased to operate as a legal entity as of February 1, 2012.
After the date of dissolution, the assets and activities of the dissolved redevelopment agency are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) In the financial statements of the City. ! 44 CITY OF ORANGE COVE

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. identified. However, as described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs, we did identify certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses and significant deficiencies.

We consider the deficiencie described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2020-001 and 2020-002 to be material weaknesses.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal contral that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the deficiencies described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2020-003 and 2020-004 to be significant deficiencies.

SECTION II - FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS
Finding 2020-001 Year-End Closing Process (Material Weakness) Condition: As described in the California State Controllers 2015 Internal Control Guldelines" an effective internal control system and timely financial reporting of all financlal activity provides reasonable assurance for the safeguarding of assets, the reliability of financial information, and compliance with laws and regulations.
Criteria: The City's year-end financial closing process was not timely, complete or accurate. The lack of a complete and proper close resulted in numerous audit adjustments and significant delays in completing the annual audit.
Cause: The City's Finance Director, who also serves as the City Manager, oversees the closing of the City's general ledger while balancing the duties as City Manager. In addition to these responsibilities, there were numerous other financial statement, compliance, and control environment matters to resolve that were inherited from accounting errors and decisions made in previous fiscal years. Additionally, during the closing process, the City's accounting department lost experienced staff positions, which had to be replaced with new staff requiring significant training. Lastly, the City has had significant disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Effect: Various areas of the financial statements, including fund balance/net positlon, governmental and enterprise accounts receivable, accounts payable, unavailable revenue, and revenue were materially misstated, which required journal entries to be posted subsequent to receiving the City's final trial balance.
Recommendation: We recommend that the City perform the following steps in order to address the matters described above:
• Crate a cosing cine get horal lied it co pre aralice All alien treat release a allow the City to perform this in a timely matter.
• Personneadlinal assistan to the Finance Department through the hiring of adlional competent • Provide additional tralning in accounting specific to governmental entities to Finance Department staff der to ensure that they are current with all financial accounting and reporting requirements as directed t the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.

Finding 2020-002 Bank Roconciliation (Material Weakness) Condition: Cash was not reconciled to the general ledger on a monthly basis. Bank statements accumulatec for several months before they were reconciled to the appropriate general ledger accounts Criteria: A strong system of internal controls and management review requires that bank reconcillations b erformed on a timely basis
Cause: The City hired an outside consultant to perform the bank reconcillations, however, this resulted In delays in rectifying any unreconciled differences. In addition, the demands placed on the Finance Director (loss of experienced staff, audit preparation, and other matters) prevented the timely completion of the bank reconcillation process.
effect: By not reconciling the bank accounts to the general ledger on a monthly basis, errors or other problem night not be recognized and resolved on a timely basis

SECTION II - FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS (Continued)
Finding 2020-003 Employee/Board Medical Relmbursements (Significant Deflclency) Condition: The City is not in line with its medical reimbursement policy.
Criteria: The City offers medical reimbursements for cut-of-pocket costs to employees and officers who waive coverage through the City's health pian. These reimbursements must not exceed the cost of the medical health lan's annual premium per family member, per year. The City's medical reimbursement policy states, "the CH hould have a uniform Claim Form that is completed for each request and should not make payment based o receipts only" Additionally, the policy also states, "the City should maintain a running total for each person to ensure the annual amount is not exceeded".
cause: The City's latest medical reimbursement policy was implemented in 2011. Over the years, the City has had significant turnover which created difficulties in overseeing eligibility and enforcing the policy.
Effect: Of 10 reimbursements selecied for testina:
4 reimbursements did not provide a claim form
9 reimbursements did not provide a signature of claimant 7 reimbursements did not have an approval signature
4 relmbursements were approved using previously submitted documentation for the reimbursement of medical premiums
- 1 reimbursement did not have supporting documentation The City did not maintain a cumulative reimbursement log for any of the claimants tested.
Recommendation: We recommend the City follow its medical reimbursement plan.
Ensure all claimants remain ellgible for reimbursement under the palicy • Create a medical reimbursement clalm form with appropriate approvals that lists all requirements fo eimbursement. This allows the claimant and approver to ensure all requisites are met prior t reimbursement.
" Ensure supporting documentation received from claimant is up-to-date and not previously submitted and is ellgible under the City's policy.
- Maintain a log of annual reimbursements per cialmant to ensure the total does not exceed the threshold as stated in the policy.

Criteria: Per the City's credit card policy, all credit card charges must include a receipt for all charges.
Additionally, the City requires an expense and reimbursement report for all credit card charges.
Cause: The Clty had not enforced documentation or claim forms for the month tested as required by the City's credit card policy.
Effect: Of the 2 months that were selected for testing, the month of December 2019 did not have any supporting receipts or approval documentation. The total transactions in December 2019 without supporting receipts amounted to approximately $18,514.
Recommendation: We recommend the City actively monitor the use of credit cards and require all cardholders to submit receipts of all charges and indicate the nature of charges. Cardholders should be given no more than 30 days after the charge to submit their receipts. Documentation and a brief description of all transactions help detect any questionable charges paid via credit card.

SUMMARY SCHEDULE OF PRIOR AUDIT FINDINGS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS
FInding 2019-001 Year-End Closing Process (Material Weakness) Condition: During the audit of the City's financial statements, we identified material misstatements in the City's general ledger account balance which necessitated the proposal of audit adjustments. Additionally, the City identified numerous misstatements to the general ledger account balances subsequent to providing us with a final trial balance.
Criteria: A strong system of Internal controls and management review requires that general ledger account Cause: The City's Finance Director was relatively new to the City during the year under audit and in addition to the demands of closing a City's general ledger, there were numerous other financial statement, compliance, and control environment matters to resolve that were inherited from accounting errors and decisions made in provious fiscal years. Additionally, during the closing process, the City's accounting department lost experienced staff positions which had to be replaced with new staff calling for significant training. Finally, COVID-19 caused unforeseen delays as City staff had to work remotely and/or quarantine at various points over the last nine months which resulted in significant delays.
Effect: Various areas of the financlal statements, including fund balance/net position, accounts receivable, accounts payable, unavailable revenue, and revenue were materially misstated, which required journal entries to be posted subsequent to receiving the City's final trial balance.
Recommendation: We recommend that the City perform the following steps in order to address the matters described above:
• Create a closing checklist to assist with the preparation of audit schedules that are complete, accurate, and reconcile to the City's general ledger account balances. Additlonally, ensure that a system is in place to allow the City to perform this in a timely matter.
• Provide additional assistance to the Finance Department through the hiring of additional competent personnel.
• Provide additional training in accounting specific to governmental entities to Finance Department staff in order to ensure that they are current with all financial accounting and reporting requirements as directed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS (Continued)
Finding 2019-002 Bank Reconciliation (Material Weakness) Condition: Cash was not reconciled to the general lodger on a monthly basis. Bank statements accumulated for several months to a year before they were reconciled to the appropriate general ledger accounts.
Criteria: A strong system of internal controis and management review requires that bank reconciliations be performed on a timely basis.
Cause: The bank reconciliation process was disrupted in fiscal year 2019 as the City's finance director was elatively new to the City during the year under audit. Additionally, the City hired an outside consultant i erform the bank reconciliations, however, this resulted in delays in rectifying any unreconciled differences. I addition, the demands placed on the finance director (loss of experlenced staff, audit preparation, and other matters) prevented the timely completion of the bank reconciliation process.
Effect: By not reconciling the bank accounts to the general ledger on a monthly basis, errors or other problems might not be recognized and resolved on a timely basis.
Recommendation: Timely preparation of complete and accurate bank reconciliations is key to maintaining ...in un adequate internal control over cash. Bank reconciliations should be performed on all bank accounts in a timely manner after month-end. The bank reconciliations should be formally approved, Any discrepancies should be investigated, and all errors and omissions should be posted to the general ledger.
