INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, Califo
rnia
Report on Compliance
Opinion
We have audited the Transporta tion Development Act Article III Fund Program (“the Program”) of the City of Pleasanton, California’ s (“the City”) compliance with t he types of compliance requirements described in Section 6666 of the Rules and Regulations of the California Administrative Code in the Transportation Development Act Statutes and Administrative Code for 1987 (the Act) and the allocation instructions and resolutions of t he Metropolitan Transportation Commission for the year ended June 30, 2023.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, wi th the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on the City’s compliance with the Act for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards and the Act are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our o ther ethical responsibilities, in accordance with 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 opinion on complianc e for the Program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control o ver compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the Program.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud o r error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Act will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of
To the Hon
orable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresent ations, or the override of internal control.
Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of the Act as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Act, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit
procedures responsive to th ose risks. Such procedures inc lude examining, on a test basis, evidenc e rega
rding the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other pro
cedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over co mpliance relevant to the audit in order to desi gn audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control ov er compli
ance in accordance with the Act, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiven ess of the City’s i
nternal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over complian ce does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Act on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Act will not be prevented, or detected and c orrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal contro l over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal c o n t r o l o v e r compliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Act that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our
consideration of internal control over compliance was for t he limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we d id not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Al ameda County Transportation Commission Measure B Funds (“Measure B Funds”) of the City of Pleasanton, California (the “City”), as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Measure B Funds’ basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial st atements referred to above pres ent fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Measure B Funds of the City, as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position 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 State ments section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsib ilities, 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 Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of the Measure B Funds are intended to present the financial position and the changes in financial position of only the transactions of the Measure B Funds. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the Ci ty, as of June 30, 2023, the changes in its financial position, or its cash flows for the year then ended in accordan ce with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including an y currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
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 is sue 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 generally accepted a uditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material m isstatement 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 generally accepted au diting standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skept icism 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 th ose risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of inter nal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
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 or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison schedules that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental A ccounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appr opriate operational, economic, or historical context.
Our opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by this missing information. 2
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 19, 2023, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over the Measure B Funds’ financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contra cts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over the Measure B Funds’ financial reporting or on com pliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City’s internal control over the Measure B Funds’ financial reporting and compliance.

MEASURE B PROGRAM
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF REPORTING ENTITY
Reporting Entity – All transactions of the Alameda County Transportation Commiss ion – Measure B Program (Program) of the City of Pleasanton, Californ ia (City), are included in a separate special revenue fund in the basic financial statements of the City.
Measure B funds are used to improve the quality of existing roa ds by reconditioning existing pavement surfaces. Every two years, the City’s street pavements are evaluated and reconditioning decisions are managed through the City’s computerized Pavement Management System. Measure B funds are also used for bicycle and pedestrian pathways progr ams. The accompanying financial statements are for the Program only and are not intended to fai rly present the financial position of the City and the results of its operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund type.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
A. Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of special revenue funds are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are generally recorded when measurable and available, and expenditures are recorded when the related liabilities are incurred.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a f und is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for usi ng a “current financial resources” measurement focus, wherein only current assets and c urrent liabilities generally are included on the balance sheets. Oper ating statements of governm ental funds present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
B. Description of Funds
The Program funds are Special Revenue Funds. The Program accoun ts are maintained on the basis of fund accounting. A fund is a separate accounting entit y with a self- balancing set of accounts.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue source s that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects.
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash amounts are pooled with the cash and investments of the Ci ty. The pooled funds are invested in accordance with the City’s investment policy established pursuant to State law.
D. Fund Balance
Measure B fund balance is restric ted. A restricted fund balance represents amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions or enabling legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.
When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both rest ricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the City considers restricted funds to have been spent first. 6

ALAMEDA COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
MEASURE B PROGRAM
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED )
E. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value h ierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy catego rizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based o n the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs – other than quoted prices included w ithin level 1 – that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using in puts from more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
F. Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenditures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3: CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash and investments are maintained on a pooled basis with thos e of other funds of the City.
Pooled cash and investments consist of U.S. government securiti es, deposits with banks, money market funds, certificates of deposit, and participation in the California Local Agency Investment Fund.
All investments are stated at fair value. Pooled investment earnings are allocated based on the average cash and investment balances of the various funds and related entities of the City.
See the City’s Basic Financial St atements (BFS) for disclosures related to cash and investments as
prescribed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 40 and 72. The BFS may be obtained from the City of Pleasanton at 123 Main Street, Pleasanton, CA 94566.
NOTE 4: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The City participates in several grant programs. These programs may be subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount of expenditures, if any, which m ay be disallowed by the granting agencies, and cannot be determined at this time. The City expec ts such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards gene rally 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 stateme nts of the Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure B Funds (“Measure B Funds”) of the City of Pleasanton, California (“the City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the fina ncial statements, which collectively comprise the Measure B Funds’ basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 19, 2023.
Report on In
ternal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over the Measure B Funds’ 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 int ernal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allo w management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely b asis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less s evere 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 contr ol that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Measure B Funds’ financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
To the Hon
orable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
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 e ffectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s inter nal control and compliance. Acco rdingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, Califo
rnia
Report on Compliance
Opinion
We have audited the compliance of the City of Pleasanton, Calif ornia (the “City”), with the types of compliance requirements described in the agreement with the Alameda County Transportation Commission, dated March 15, 2012 (the “Agreement”) that are applicable to its Measure B Funds for the year ended June 30, 2023.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, wi th the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on the City’s compliance with the Agreement for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of the Agreement. Our responsibilities under those standards and the Agreement are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our o ther ethical responsibilities, in accordance with 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 opinion on complianc e for the Measure B Funds. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control o ver compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the Measure B Funds.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud o r error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Agreement will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepre sentations, or the override of internal control.
To the Hon
orable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would inf luence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of the Agreement as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Agreement, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, wheth er due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such proced ures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance re quirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compli
ance in accordance with the Agreement, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effec
tiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over complian ce does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Agreement on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Agreement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Agreement that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our
consideration of internal control over compliance was for t he limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknes ses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we d id not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opi nion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Agreement. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Al ameda County Transportation Commission Measure BB Funds (“Measure BB Funds”) of the City of Pleasanton , California (the “City”), as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Measure BB Funds’ basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial st atements referred to above pres ent fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Measure BB Funds of the City, as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position 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 State ments section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsib ilities, 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 Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of the Measure BB Funds are intended to present the financial position and the changes in financial position of only the transactions of the Measure BB Funds. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the Ci ty, as of June 30, 2023, the changes in its financial position, or its cash flows for the year then ended in accordan ce with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including an y currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
To the Hon
orable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
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 is sue 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 generally accepted a uditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material m isstatement 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 generally accepted au diting standards 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 th ose risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are approp
riate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’
s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
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 or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We
are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Manag
ement has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison schedules that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental A ccounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appr opriate operational, economic, or historical context.
Our opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by this missing information. 2
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 19, 2023, on our consideration of the City’s i nternal control over the Measure BB Funds’ financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over the Measure BB Funds’ financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City’s internal control over the Measure BB Funds’ financial reporting and compliance.

MEASURE BB PROGRAM
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2023
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF REPORTING ENTITY
Reporting Entity – All transactions of the Alameda County Transportation Commission – Measure BB Program (Program) of the City of Pleasanton (City), are include d as separate special revenue and enterprise funds in the basic financial statements of the City.
Measure BB funds are used to account for the City’s share of re venues earned and expenditures under the City’s paratransit, local streets and roads, and bicycle and pedestrian safety programs. The accompanying financial statements are for Measure BB funds only and are not intended to fairly present the financial position of the City and the results of i ts operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund type.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
A. Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial stat ements of special revenue funds are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are generally recorded wh en measurable and available, and expenditures are recorded when the related liabilities are incurred.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a f und is determined by its
measurement focus. All government al funds are accounted for usi ng a “ current financial resources” measurement focus, wherein only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheets. Operating statements of governm ental funds present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditu res and other financing uses) in net current assets.
B. Description of Funds
The Program funds are Special Revenue Funds. The Program accoun ts are maintained on the basis of fund accounting. A fund is a separate accounting entit y with a self-balancing set of accounts.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are
restricted or committed to expen diture for specified purposes o ther than debt service or capital projects.
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash amounts are pooled with the cash and investments of the Ci ty. The pooled funds are invested in accordance with the City’s investment policy established pursuant to State law.
D. Fund Balance
Measure BB fund balance is restricted. A restricted fund balance represents amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional prov isions or enabling legislations or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both res tricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the City considers restricted funds to have been spent first. 6

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED )
E. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value h ierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy catego rizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based o n the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs – other than quoted prices included w ithin level 1 – that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using in puts from more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level
input that is significant to the entire measurement.
F. Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the fina ncial statements. Those
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenditures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3: CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash and investments are maintained on a pooled basis with those of other funds of the City. Pooled cash and investments consist of U.S. government securities, dep osits with banks, money market funds, certificates of deposit and participation in the California Local Agency Investment Fund. All investments are stated at fair value. Pooled investment earning s are allocated based on the average cash and investment balances of the various funds and related entities of the City.
See the City’s Basic Financial Statements (BFS) for disclosures related to cash and investments as prescribed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 40 and 72. The BFS may be obtained from the City of Pleasanton at 123 Main Street, Pleasanton, California 94566.
NOTE 4: MEASURE BB DIRECT LOCAL DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM RECEIVABLE
The Measure BB direct local distribution program receivable represents the Measure BB sales tax revenues for the fiscal year received from the Alameda County T ransportation Commission after June 30, 2023.
NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The City participates in several grant programs. These programs may be subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount of expenditures, if any, which may be disallowed by the granting agencies, and cannot be determined at this time. The City expects such amounts, if
any, to be immaterial.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards gene rally 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 stateme nts of the Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure BB Funds (“Measure BB Funds”) of the City of Pleasanton, California (“the City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Measure BB Funds’ basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 19, 2023.
Report on In
ternal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over the Measure BB Funds’ 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 th e City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allo w management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely b asis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less s evere 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 contr ol that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Mea sure BB Funds’ financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its complianc e with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
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 t o provide an opinion on the e ffectiveness of the City’s internal control over the Measure BB Funds or on compliance. This report is an integral p art of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over the Measure BB Funds and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, Califo
rnia
Report on Compliance
Opinion
We have audited the compliance of the City of Pleasanton, California (the “City”), with the types of compliance requirements described in the Master Programs Funding Agreement with the Alameda County Transportation Commission (the “Agreement”) that are applicable to its Measure BB Funds for the year ended June 30, 2023.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, wi th the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on the City’s compliance with the Agreement for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of the Agreement. Our responsibilities under those standards and the Agreement are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our o ther ethical responsibilities, in accordance with 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 opinion on complianc e for the Measure BB Funds. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control o ver compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the Measure BB Funds.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud o r error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Agreement will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of the Agreement as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Agreement, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skept icism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, wheth er due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such proced ures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance re quirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over co mpliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Agreement, but not for the pu rpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over complian ce does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Agreement on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Agreement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Agreement that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for t he limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknes ses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we d id not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

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

City of Pleasanton, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Al ameda County Transportation Commission Measure F Program (“Measure F Program”) of the City of Pleasanton, California (“the “City”), as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Measure F Program’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 financial position of the Measure F Program of the City, as of June 30, 2023, and the changes in financial position 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 State ments section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsib ilities, 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 Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of the Measure F Program are intended to present the financial position and the changes in financial position of only the tran sactions of the Measure F Program. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City, as of June 30, 2023, the changes in its financial position, or its cash flows for the year then ended in accordan ce with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including an y currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
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 is sue 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 generally accepted au diting standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skept icism 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 th ose risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of inter nal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
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 or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison schedules that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental A ccounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appr opriate operational, economic, or historical context.
Our opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by this missing information. 2

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 19, 2023, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over the Measure F Program’s financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over the Measure F Program’s financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City’s internal control over the Measure F Program’s financial reporting and compliance.

MEASURE F PROGRAM
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF REPORTING ENTITY
Reporting Entity – All transactions of the Alameda County Transportation Commission – Measure F Program (Program) of the City of Pleasanton, California (City), are included as a separate special revenue fund in the basic financial statements of the City.
Measure F funds are used to repair and maintain local streets a nd roads; improve traffic flow and bicyclist, pedestrian and driver safety; improve public transpo rtation; and encourage green transportation options. The accompanying financial statements a re for the Program only and are not intended to fairly present the financial position of the City a nd the results of its operations of its governmental fund type.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
A. Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statem ents of a special revenue fund are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are generally recorded when measurable and available, and expenditures are recorded when the related liabilities are incurred.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a f und is determined by its
measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a “current financial resources” measurement focus, wherein only current assets and c urrent liabilities generally are included on the balance sheets. Oper ating statements of governm ental funds present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
B. Description of Funds
The Program fund is a Special Revenue Fund. The Program accounts are maintained on the basis
of fund accounting. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self- balancing set of accounts.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue source s that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects.
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash amounts are pooled with the cash and investments of the Ci ty. The pooled funds are invested in accordance with the City’s investment policy established pursuant to State law.
D. Fund Balance
Measure F fund balance is restricted. A restricted fund balance represents amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional prov isions or enabling legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both res tricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the City considers restricted funds to have been spent first. 6

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED )
E. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to se ll an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value h ierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy catego rizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs – other than quoted prices included w ithin level 1 – that are observable
for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using in puts from more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level
input that is significant to the entire measurement.
F. Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the fina ncial statements. Those
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenditures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3: CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash and investments are maintained on a pooled basis with thos e of other funds of the City.
Pooled cash and investments consist of U.S. government securiti es, deposits with banks, money market funds, certificates of deposit and participation in the California Local Agency Investment Fund.
All investments are stated at fair value. Pooled investment earnings are allocated based on the average cash and investment balances of the various funds and related entities of the City.
See the City’s Basic Financial S tatements (BFS) for disclosures related to cash and investments as
prescribed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 40 and 72. The BFS may be obtained from the City of Pleasanton at 123 Main Street, Pleasanton, CA 94566.
NOTE 4: MEASURE F DIRECT LOCAL DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM RECEIVABLE
The Measure F direct local distribution program receivable repr esents the Measure F vehicle
registration fee revenues for the fiscal year received from the Alameda County Transportation Commission after June 30, 2023.
NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The City participates in several grant programs. These programs may be subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount of expenditures, if any, which may be disallowed by the granting agencies, and cannot be determined at this time. The C ity expects such amounts, if any, to
be immaterial.

NOTE 6: MEASURE F FUNDS
Under the Measure F Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) Program, approved by the voters of Alameda County in November 2010, the City receives a portion of the proceeds of the $10 per year vehicle registration fee to be used for transportation related expenditures.

Pedestrian and Bicyclist Access and Safety Program (5 percent)
The Alameda County Transportation Commission will distribute an equitable share of the funds among the four planning areas of the County over successive five-year cycles. Geographic equity will be measured by a formula, weight ed 50 percent by population of the planning area and 50 percent of registered vehicles of the planning area.
Projects funded by Measure F during Fiscal Year 2022/23 included:
Local Streets and Road Program

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards gene rally 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 stateme nts of the Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure F Program (“the Measure F Program”) of the C ity of Pleasanton, California (“the City”), as of and for the y ear ended June 30, 2023, and t he related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Measure F Program’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 19, 2023.
Repor
t on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over the Measure F Program’s 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 th e City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allo w management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely b asis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less s evere 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 contr ol that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Mea sure F Program’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its complianc e with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
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 e ffectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s inter nal control and compliance. Acco rdingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, Califor
nia
Report on Compliance
Opinion
We have audited the compliance of the City of Pleasanton, California (the “City”), with the types of compliance requirements described in the agreement with the Alameda County Transportation Commission (the “Agreement”) that are applicable to its Measure F Funds for the year ended June 30, 2023.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, wi th the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on the City’s compliance with the Agreement for the year ended June 30, 2023.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of the Agreement. Our responsibilities under those standards and the Agreement are further described i n the Auditor’s Responsib ilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our o ther ethical responsibilities, in accordance with 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 opinion on complianc e for the Measure F Funds. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control o ver compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the Measure F Funds.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud o r error, and express an opinion on the City’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Agreement will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepre sentations, or the override of internal control.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would inf luence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City’s compliance with the requirements of the Agreement as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Agreement, we:
Exercise professional judgmen t and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, wheth er due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such proced ures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City’s compliance with the compliance re quirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
Obtain an understanding of the City’s internal control over co mpliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Agreement, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over complian ce does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Agreement on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Agreement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of the Agreement that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for t he limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknes ses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we d id not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opi nion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based o n the requirements of the Agreement. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, Califo
rnia
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental ac tivities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Pleasanton, California (the “City”) for the year ended June 30, 2023. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated April 26, 2023. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspe
cts of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City changed accounting policies related to sub scription-based information technology arrangements by adopting Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 96, in fiscal year 2022-2023. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the accou nting change as of the beginning of the year is reported in the Statement of Activities. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All sig nificant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial stat ements 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 financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Management’s estimates of the net pension liability, net other postemployment benefits liability, and claims and judgments liability are based on actuarial valuation estimates. We evaluated the methods, assumptions, and data used to develop the actuarial va luation estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
ATTACHMENT 9
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require u s to accumulate all known and l ikely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We are pleased to report that no such misstatements were identified during the course of our audit.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our s atisfaction, that could be sign ificant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated January 12, 2024.
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 the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professi onal standards require the con sulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledg e, 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 the City’s audi tors. 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 management’s discussio n and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and the major special revenue fu nds, and the required pension and other postemployment benefits schedules , which are required supplemen tary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiri es of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for con sistency 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.
We were engaged to report on the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respec t to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content , and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting princip les generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the pr ior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepar e the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, California
We were not engaged to report on other information included in the annual report which is comprised of the introductory and statistical sections, which accompany the fina ncial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in th e audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
Future GASB Pronouncements
The following Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements will be effective for the following fiscal years’ audits and should be reviewed for proper implementation by management:
Fiscal Year 2023-2024
GASB Statement No. 99, Omnibus 2022.
Fiscal Year 2024-2025
GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences.

INDEPENDE
NT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Hon
orable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Pleasanton, Califo
rnia
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards gene rally 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 of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund i nformation of the City of Pleasanton, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and t he related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, an d have issued our report thereon dated January 12, 2024.
Repor
t on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statement s, 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.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allo w management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely b asis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less s evere 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 contr ol that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and ma terial effect on the financial statements.
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
ATTACHMENT 10

City of Pleasanton, California
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 e ffectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s inter nal control and compliance. Acco rdingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

PENSION OBLIGATIONS
The City participates in the California P
ublic Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) . Under this system there are three separate accounts used by the City . The employee benefits are determined by type of work (Police, Fire or Miscellaneous Employee), date of hire, years of service and age at retirement . Both the City and employees contribute toward the pension fund .
The City’s pension liability is measured as the total pension liability less the plans’ assets . While the City is currently fiscally stable, an increase to the pension liability can prove to be a challenge, since it increases pension contributions .
The City has taken measures to smooth the impact of these rates by creating a long-term fiscal plan and establishing a Section 115 P
ension Trust Fund, specially designed to manage pension rate fluctuations as needed .
T
o date, the City has allocated a total of $38 million toward this trust fund (balance at 6/30/23 with investment earnings is $46 million), which is administered by PARS Trust Fund, comprised of both short and long term investments . City Council also adopted policies that placed limits on the City’s ability to draw on the PARS Trust Fund to ensure funds are available for pension contributions during financially difficult times without having to reduce City services . In addition, to the extent to which the City is able to not draw on the PARS Trust Fund, the fund can grow through compounded investment earnings . The table below reflects the City’s pension liability for the different plans . The increase in liability for FY 2022/23 is due to investment loss in FY 2021/22 .1 F or more
information on the pension liability, please refer to the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) . 1 Pension liability decreased in FY 2021/22 due to higher investment earnings in FY 2020/21 .
