Specific delivery instructions, including FOB Inside Delivery, will be noted on the order form or Purchase Order.
Any damage to the building interior, scratched walls, damage to the freight elevator, etc., will be the responsibility of the Contractor. If damage does occur, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to promptly notify the Purchasing Entity placing the Order.
All products must be delivered in the manufacturer’s standard package. Costs shall include all packing and crating charges. Cases shall be of durable construction, good condition, properly labeled and suitable in every respect for storage and handling of contents. Each shipment shall be marked with the Purchasing Entity’s Purchase Order number and other information sufficient for the Purchasing Entity to properly identify the shipment as outlined in the Participating Addendum of the Purchasing Entity.
Inspection and Acceptance.
Where the Master Agreement, a Participating Addendum, or an Order does not otherwise specify a process for inspection and Acceptance, this section governs. This section is not intended to limit rights and remedies under the applicable commercial code.
Acceptance. Purchasing Entity shall determine whether all Products and Services delivered meet the Contractor's published specifications. No payment shall be made for any Products or Services until the Purchasing Entity has accepted the Products or Services. The Purchasing Entity will make every effort to notify the Contractor within thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of non-acceptance of a Product or completion of Service. In the event that the Contractor has not been notified within 30 calendar days from delivery of Product or completion of Service, the Product and Services will be deemed accepted on the 31st day after delivery of Product or completion of Services. Failure to reject upon receipt, however, does not relieve the Contractor of liability for latent or hidden material defects. Acceptance of such goods may be revoked in accordance with the provisions of the applicable commercial code, and the Contractor is liable for any resulting expense incurred by the Purchasing Entity related to the preparation and shipping of Product rejected and returned, or for which Acceptance is revoked. The warranty period shall begin upon Acceptance. If the parties agree to acceptance testing, the terms of subsection (c), below, apply.
Acceptance Testing. The Purchasing Entity and the Contractor shall determine if Acceptance Testing is applicable and required for the purchase. “Acceptance Testing” means the process for ascertaining that the Product meets the standard of performance prior to Acceptance by the Purchasing Entity.
The Acceptance Testing period shall be thirty (30) calendar days starting from the day after the Product is delivered or, if installed, the day after the Product is installed and Contractor certifies that the Product is ready for Acceptance Testing. If the Product does not meet the standard of performance during the initial period of Acceptance Testing, Purchasing Entity may, at its discretion, continue Acceptance Testing on a day-to-day basis until the standard of performance is met. Upon rejection, the Contractor will have fifteen (15) calendar days to cure the standard of performance issue(s). If after the cure period, the Product still has not met the standard of performance, the Purchasing Entity may, at its option: (a) declare Contractor to be in breach and terminate the Order; (b) demand replacement Product from Contractor at no additional cost to Purchasing Entity; or, (c) continue the cure period for an additional time period agreed upon by the Purchasing Entity and the Contractor.
No Product shall be deemed Accepted and no charges shall be paid until the standard of performance is met. Products that do not meet specifications may be rejected. Failure to reject upon receipt, however, does not relieve the Contractor of liability for material (nonconformity that substantially impairs value) latent or hidden defects subsequently revealed when goods are put to use. Acceptance of such goods may be revoked in accordance with the provisions of the applicable commercial code, and the Contractor is liable for any resulting expense incurred by the Purchasing Entity related to the preparation and shipping of Product rejected and returned, or for which Acceptance is revoked. The warranty period shall begin upon Acceptance.

If any services do not conform to contract requirements, the Purchasing Entity may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in Order amount. When defects cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Purchasing Entity may require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements; and reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of services performed.

After 45 days the Contractor may assess overdue account charges up to a maximum rate of one percent per month on the outstanding balance, unless a different late payment amount is specified in a Participating Addendum, Order, or otherwise prescribed by applicable law.
Payments will be remitted by mail or electronically. Payments may be made via a State or political subdivision “Purchasing Card” with no additional charge.

Leasing or Alternative Financing Methods.
Lease purchase and term leases are allowable only for Purchasing Entities whose rules and regulations permit leasing of software. Individual Purchasing Entities may enter into a lease agreement for the products covered in this Master Agreement, if they have the legal authority to enter into these types of agreements without going through a competitive process and if the applicable PAs permit leasing. No lease agreements will be reviewed or evaluated as part of the RFP evaluation process.
Contract Provisions for Orders Utilizing Federal Funds.
Pursuant to Appendix II to 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards, Orders funded with federal funds may have additional contractual requirements or certifications that must be satisfied at the time the Order is placed or upon delivery. These federal requirements may be DocuSign Envelope ID: 22C62BA3-AFF9-40A4-8FA3-F4D018802CC5 DocuSign Envelope ID: F019BE07-AEF0-4A14-B979-8BB85953FE52

The Contractor must conduct at a minimum a quarterly self-audit, unless approved by the Lead State. The audit will sample a minimum of one tenth of one percent (.001) of orders with a maximum of 100 audits per quarter conducted.
For example: Up to 1,000 sales = 1 audit; 10,000 sales = 10 audits; Up to 100,000 sales = 100 audits. This will be a random sample of orders and invoices and must include documentation of pricing. Summary findings must be reported to Lead State with actions to correct documented findings.

Contractor shall not assign, sell or otherwise transfer all or any part of this Master Agreement without prior written consent from the Lead State, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
The Lead State, or Participating Entity, shall not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer all or any part of this Master Agreement without prior written consent from Contractor, except for assignment or delegation to a Participating Entity State agency or eligible Purchasing Entity. The Lead State reserves the right to assign any rights or duties, including written assignment of contract administration duties to NASPO ValuePoint and other third parties.

Contractor shall, during the term of this Master Agreement, maintain in full force and effect, the insurance described in this section. Contractor shall acquire such insurance from an insurance carrier or carriers legally authorized to conduct business in the Lead State and in each Participating Entity’s state and having a rating of A-, Class VII or better, in the most recently published edition of A.M.

Unless otherwise agreed in any Participating Addendum, other state Participating Entities’ rights DocuSign Envelope ID: 22C62BA3-AFF9-40A4-8FA3-F4D018802CC5 DocuSign Envelope ID: F019BE07-AEF0-4A14-B979-8BB85953FE52
and Contractor’s obligations are the same as those specified in the first sentence of this subsection except the endorsement is provided to the applicable state.
During the term of this Master Agreement, Contractor shall upon request provide to the Lead State and Participating Entities evidence of coverage that meets the requirements of this Section and the applicable Participating Addendum. Failure to provide evidence of coverage, within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of request may, at the sole option of the Lead State, or any Participating Entity, result in this Master Agreement’s termination or the termination of any Participating Addendum.
Coverage and limits shall not limit Contractor’s liability and obligations under this Master Agreement, any Participating Addendum, or any Purchase Order.
Administrative Fees.
The Contractor shall pay to NASPO ValuePoint, or its assignee, a NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee of one- quarter of one percent (0.25% or 0.0025) no later than sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar quarter.
The NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee shall be submitted quarterly and is based on all sales of products and services under the Master Agreement (less any charges for taxes or shipping). The NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee is not negotiable.
The NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee in this section shall be based on the gross amount of all sales (less any charges for taxes or shipping) at the adjusted prices (if any) in Participating Addenda.
Additionally, some states may require an additional fee be paid directly to the state only on purchases made by Purchasing Entities within that state. For all such requests, the fee level, payment method and schedule for such reports and payments will be incorporated into the Participating Addendum that is made a part of the Master Agreement. The Purchasing Entity may allow the Contractor to adjust the Master Agreement pricing to account for these additional fees for purchases made by Purchasing Entities within the jurisdiction of the Participating Entity. All such agreements shall not affect the NASPO ValuePoint Administrative Fee percentage or the prices paid by the Purchasing Entities outside the jurisdiction of the state requesting the additional fee.
NASPO ValuePoint Reports
Sales Data Reporting. In accordance with this section, Contractor shall report to NASPO ValuePoint all Orders under this Master Agreement for which Contractor has invoiced the ordering entity or individual, including Orders invoiced to Participating Entity or Purchasing Entity employees for personal use if such use is permitted by this Master Agreement and the applicable Participating Addendum (“Sales Data”).

Contractor acknowledges that the NASPO ValuePoint logos may not be used by Contractor in sales and marketing until a logo use agreement is executed with NASPO ValuePoint.
The Lead State expects to evaluate the utilization of the Master Agreement at the annual performance review.
Lead State may, in its discretion, cancel the Master Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 42 of Exhibit A, or not exercise an option to renew, when Contractor utilization does not warrant further administration of the Master Agreement.
The Lead State may exercise its right to not renew the Master Agreement if contractor fails to record or report revenue for three consecutive quarters, upon 60-calendar day written notice to the Contractor. Cancellation based on nonuse or under-utilization will not occur sooner than two years after award of the Master Agreement. This subsection does not limit the discretionary right of either the Lead State or Contractor to cancel the Master Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 42 of Exhibit A or to terminate for default pursuant to Paragraph 44 of Exhibit A.
Contractor agrees to notify the Lead State and NASPO ValuePoint of any contractual most-favored-customer provisions in any Cooperative Purchasing Agreements that may affect the promotion of this Master Agreements or whose terms provide for adjustments to future rates or pricing based on rates, pricing in, or Orders from this master agreement.

purchasing program facilitating public procurement solicitations and agreements using a lead agency model. This does not include contracts with any federal agency or any federal contract.
Right to Publish.
Throughout the duration of this Master Agreement, Contractor must secure from the Lead State prior approval for the public release of information that pertains to the potential work or activities covered by the Master Agreement. This limitation does not preclude publication about the award of the Master Agreement or marketing activities consistent with any proposed and accepted marketing plan. The Contractor shall not make any representations of NASPO ValuePoint’s opinion or position as to the quality or effectiveness of the services that are the subject of this Master Agreement without prior written consent. Failure to adhere to this requirement may result in termination of the Master Agreement for cause.
Records Administration and Audit.
The Contractor shall maintain books, records, documents, and other evidence pertaining to this Master Agreement and Orders placed by Purchasing Entities under it to the extent and in such detail as shall adequately reflect performance and administration of payments and fees. Contractor shall permit the Lead State, a Participating Entity, a Purchasing Entity, the federal government (including its grant awarding entities and the U.S. Comptroller General), and any other duly authorized agent of a governmental agency, to audit, inspect, examine, copy and transcribe Contractor's books, documents, papers and records directly pertinent to this Master Agreement or orders placed by a Purchasing Entity under it for the purpose of making audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcriptions.
This right shall survive for a period of six (6) years following termination of this Agreement or final payment for any order placed by a Purchasing Entity against this Agreement, whichever is later, or such longer period as is required by the Purchasing Entity’s state statutes, to assure compliance with the terms hereof or to evaluate performance hereunder.
Without limiting any other remedy available to any governmental entity, the Contractor shall reimburse the applicable Lead State, Participating Entity, or Purchasing Entity for any overpayments inconsistent with the terms of the Master Agreement or Orders or underpayment of fees found as a result of the examination of the Contractor’s records.
The rights and obligations herein exist in addition to any quality assurance obligation in the Master Agreement requiring the Contractor to self-audit contract obligations and that permits the Lead State to review compliance with those obligations.
Indemnification
General Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend (to the extent permitted by a state’s Attorney General), and hold harmless an Indemnified Party from any claims or causes of action, including attorney’s fees, to the extent arising from Contractor’s intentional, willful, or negligent acts or omissions; actions that give rise to strict liability; and actions arising from breach of contract or warranty. “Indemnified Party” means NASPO, NASPO ValuePoint, the Lead State, Participating Entities, and Purchasing Entities, along with their officers and employees.
The indemnification obligations of this section do not apply in the event the claim or cause of action is the result of the Indemnified Party’s sole negligence. This clause will not be construed to bar any legal remedies the Contractor may have for the Indemnified Party’s failure to fulfill its obligation under this Contract.
Intellectual Property Indemnification.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 22C62BA3-AFF9-40A4-8FA3-F4D018802CC5 DocuSign Envelope ID: F019BE07-AEF0-4A14-B979-8BB85953FE52
In the event of any such claim by any third party against the Indemnified Party that Products, Software, Services or Deliverables prepared, produced, or branded by Contractor and delivered pursuant to this Master Agreement infringe or misappropriate that third party's U.S. patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights ("Indemnified Claims"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Contractor. The Contractor, at its own expense, shall indemnify, defend to the extent permitted by the Indemnified Party’s laws, and hold harmless the Indemnified Party against any loss, cost, expense, or liability (including legal fees) arising out of such a claim, whether or not such claim is successful against the Indemnified Party.
If Contractor receives prompt notice of such a claim that in the Contractor's opinion is likely to result in an adverse ruling, the Contractor shall at its option (1) obtain a right for the Indemnified Party to continue using such Products, Deliverables, or Software or allow Contractor to continue performing the Services; (2) modify such Products, Software, Services, or Deliverables to make them non-infringing without materially affecting their utility or functionality; (3) replace such Products, Software, Services, or Deliverables with a non-infringing equivalent; or (4) refund any pre-paid fees for the allegedly infringing Services that have not been performed or provide a reasonable depreciated or pro rata refund for the allegedly infringing Product, Deliverables, or Software.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor shall have no obligation under this Section for any claim resulting or arising from (1) modifications of the Products, Software, Services, or Deliverables that were not performed by, on behalf of, or at the direction of Contractor; (2) the combination, operation, or use of the Products, Software, Services, or Deliverables in connection with a third-party product, software or service (the combination of which causes the claimed infringement); or (3) Contractor's compliance with Indemnified Party’s written specifications or directions, including the incorporation of any software or other materials or processes provided by or requested by Indemnified Party. Contractor's duty to indemnify and defend under this Section is contingent upon: (a) Contractor receiving prompt written notice of the third-party claim or action for which Contractor must indemnify Indemnified Party, (b) Contractor having the right to solely control the defense and resolution of such claim or action, unless the Indemnified Party’s law requires approval for a third party to defend the Indemnified Party and such approval is not received, and (c) Indemnified Party’s cooperation with Contractor in defending and resolving such claim or action. This Section states Indemnified Party’s exclusive remedies for any third-party intellectual property claim or action and nothing in this Master Agreement or elsewhere will obligate Contractor to provide any greater indemnity to Indemnified Party.
Limitations of Liability
The Parties agree that neither Contractor nor the indemnified party shall be liable to each other, regardless of the form of action, for consequential, incidental, indirect, or special damages except any claim related to bodily injury or death; an unauthorized release or breach of not public data as set forth more fully in Minn. Ch. 13; or a claim or demand based on patent, copyright, or other intellectual property infringement.
Contractor’s liability is limited to 2 times the amount paid by Purchasing Entity to Contractor during the 12 months preceding the date of the dispute concerning any products and services, or $5,000,000, whichever is greater. This limit on liability does not apply to claims for bodily injury or death or for intellectual property infringement.
Contractor’s obligations under this section shall not extend to any combination of the Product with any other product, system or method, unless the Product, system or method is:
provided by the Contractor or the Contractor’s subsidiaries or affiliates; specified by the Contractor to work with the Product; or DocuSign Envelope ID: 22C62BA3-AFF9-40A4-8FA3-F4D018802CC5 DocuSign Envelope ID: F019BE07-AEF0-4A14-B979-8BB85953FE52
reasonably required, in order to use the Product in its intended manner, and the infringement could not have been avoided by substituting another reasonably available product, system or method capable of performing the same function; or
It would be reasonably expected to use the Product in combination with such product, system or method.
License of Pre-Existing Intellectual Property.
Intentionally deleted.
Assignment of Antitrust Rights.
Contractor irrevocably assigns to a Participating Entity who is a state any claim for relief or cause of action which the Contractor now has or which may accrue to the Contractor in the future by reason of any violation of state or federal antitrust laws (15 U.S.C. § 1-15 or a Participating Entity’s state antitrust provisions), as now in effect and as may be amended from time to time, in connection with any goods or services provided in that state for the purpose of carrying out the Contractor's obligations under this Master Agreement or Participating Addendum, including, at the Participating Entity's option, the right to control any such litigation on such claim for relief or cause of action.
Debarment.
The Contractor certifies that neither it nor its principals are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction (contract) by any governmental department or agency. This certification represents a recurring certification made at the time any Order is placed under this Master Agreement. If the Contractor cannot certify this statement, attach a written explanation for review by the Lead State.
Governing Law and Venue.
The construction and effect of the Master Agreement after award shall be governed by the law of the state serving as Lead State. The construction and effect of any Participating Addendum or Order against the Master Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Participating Entity’s or Purchasing Entity’s State.
Venue for any claim, dispute or action concerning the terms of the Master Agreement shall be in the state serving as Lead State. Venue for any claim, dispute, or action concerning any Order placed against the Master Agreement or the effect of a Participating Addendum shall be in the Purchasing Entity’s State.
If a claim is brought in a federal forum, then it must be brought and adjudicated solely and exclusively within the United States District Court for (in decreasing order of priority): the Lead State for claims relating to contract performance or administration if the Lead State is a party; a Participating State if a named party; the state where the Participating Entity or Purchasing Entity is located if either is a named party.
Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure, and Injunctive Relief.
Confidentiality. Contractor acknowledges that it and its employees or agents may, in the course of providing a Product under this Master Agreement, be exposed to or acquire information that is confidential to Purchasing Entity or Purchasing Entity’s clients.
Any and all information of any form that is marked as confidential by one party (the “originating party”) and is or would by its nature be deemed confidential obtained by the other party or its employees or agents (the “receiving party”) in the performance of this Master Agreement, including, but not necessarily limited to (1) any Purchasing Entity’s records, (2) personnel records, and (3) information concerning individuals, is confidential information of the originating party (“Confidential Information”).
DocuSign Envelope ID: 22C62BA3-AFF9-40A4-8FA3-F4D018802CC5 DocuSign Envelope ID: F019BE07-AEF0-4A14-B979-8BB85953FE52
Any reports or other documents or items (including software) that result from the use of the Confidential Information by the receiving party shall be treated in the same manner as the Confidential Information.
Confidential Information does not include information that (1) is or becomes (other than by disclosure by the receiving party) publicly known; (2) is furnished by the originating party to others without restrictions similar to those imposed by this Master Agreement; (3) is rightfully in the receiving party’s possession without the obligation of nondisclosure prior to the time of its disclosure under this Master Agreement; (4) is obtained from a source other than the originating party without the obligation of confidentiality, (5) is disclosed with the written consent of the originating party or; (6) is independently developed by employees, agents or subcontractors of the receiving party who can be shown to have had no access to the Confidential Information.
Non-Disclosure. The receiving party shall hold Confidential Information in confidence, using at least the industry standard of confidentiality, and shall not copy, reproduce, sell, assign, license, market, transfer or otherwise dispose of, give, or disclose Confidential Information to third parties or use Confidential Information for any purposes whatsoever other than what is necessary to the performance of Orders placed under this Master Agreement.
Each party shall advise each of its employees and agents of their obligations to keep Confidential Information confidential. Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchasing Entity in identifying and preventing any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the receiving party shall advise the originating party, and the applicable Participating Entity, and the Lead State if the originating party is a Purchasing Entity, and the Lead State if the originating party is a Participating Entity, immediately if the receiving party learns or has reason to believe that any person who has had access to Confidential Information has violated or intends to violate the terms of this Master Agreement, and the receiving party shall at its expense cooperate with advise the originating party in seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in the name of either party against any such person.
Except as directed by the originating party, the receiving party will not at any time during or after the term of this Master Agreement disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information to any person, except in accordance with this Master Agreement, and that upon termination of this Master Agreement or at the originating party’s request, the receiving party shall turn over to the originating party all documents, papers, and other matter in the receiving party’s possession that embody Confidential Information.

City Council/Financing Authority Meeting H. 11.
DATE: 01/21/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the property lease agreement with the South Coast Air Quality Management District and determine that this action is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15601(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris) MOTION(S):
If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:
I move that City Council determine that approval of a property lease agreement with the South Coast Air Quality Management District is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and,
1. I move that City Council approve the property lease agreement with the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
2. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council determine that approval of a property lease agreement with the South Coast Air Quality Management District is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and, Staff recommends City Council approval of a property lease agreement with the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
DISCUSSION:
The City owns property located near 500 North Dearborn Street in Redlands, California comprising approximately 1,500 square feet of APNs 0170-302-06-0000 and 0170-302-18-0000, as more particularly described in Exhibit "A" of the attached Resolution ("the Property"). The City would like to lease the Property to the South Coast Air Quality Management District ("SCAQMD") so that the SCAQMD can use the Property for air quality monitoring.
In an effort to address the housing crisis throughout the state, the State Legislature revamped the Surplus Land Act ("SLA") in 2019 to strengthen the right of first refusal for affordable housing developers to bid on local agency-owned surplus land. The SLA requires public agencies to comply with certain procedures when disposing of real property. The California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD") has adopted guidelines to interpret the SLA. The SLA was recently amended by Assembly Bill 480 (Ting) and Senate Bill 229 (Umbert). These changes took effect January 1, 2024.
The SLA requires all local agencies to prioritize affordable housing, as well as parks and open space, when disposing of "surplus land." Before a local agency may dispose of land subject to the SLA, the land must be declared either "surplus land" or "exempt surplus land," as supported by written findings. For "surplus land," the City must go through a formal process to offer the land to qualifying entities and negotiate with responsive parties. However, the SLA contains exemptions for certain types of land ("exempt surplus land") where this formal process does not apply.
One such exemption is for real property that is transferred to another local, state, or federal agency for the receiving agency's use (Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(D).). Here, this exemption fits because the City desires to lease the property to the SCAQMD, an air quality management district formed under California Health and Safety Code Section 40410 and a local agency under the SLA, so that the SCAQMD can use the Property for air quality monitoring. On September 3, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8621 pursuant to the SLA, Government Code Section 54221 et seq., declaring the Property as exempt surplus land. Soon after, staff submitted the Resolution to HCD for review. On October 17, 2024, staff received HCD's concurrence.
The property lease agreement allows the SCAQMD to place and operate a small air quality monitoring trailer on a portion of the site. The agreement also allows minor associated improvements and site access for SCAQMD employees during typical working hours. The initial term of the agreement is ten (10) years, and the agreement may be extended once for an additional ten (10) years. The initial annual lease payment is $650. Each year thereafter, the lease payment increases by three percent (3%) compounded each year.
increases by three percent (3%) compounded each year.
Approval of this property lease agreement is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act since it can be seen with reasonable certainty that doing so will have no impact on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may deny the staff recommendation and provide alternate direction.

The Parties acknowledge that there will not be an adequate remedy at law for noncompliance with the provisions of this Section and therefore, either Party shall have the right to equitable remedies, such as, without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance. City shall have the right to allow other third party providers to install equipment on the Property (other than at the Site), provided that such new provider’s use may not interfere with Lessee’s operations at the Site.

City will cooperate, to the extent allowed by law, with Lessee’s efforts to obtain utilities from any location provided by City or the serving utility, provided, however, that City shall not incur any cost or expense therefore unless such costs are reimbursed therefore by Lessee.
Section 11. Termination.
A. Without limiting any of Lessee's termination rights granted elsewhere in this Lease, Lessee may terminate this Lease at any time upon thirty (30) days prior notice to City without further liability if: (i) Lessee does not obtain all permits, consents, licenses, non - disturbance agreements or other approvals (collectively, “Approvals”) reasonably desired by Lessee or required from any governmental authority or any third party and related to or reasonably necessary to operate the air monitoring trailer and monitoring equipment, or any such Approvals are canceled, expire or are withdrawn or terminated; (ii) City violates or defaults on any of its obligations under this Lease or breaches any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Lease; or (iii) Lessee, for any reason, in its sole discretion, determines that it will be unable to use the Site. Upon termination, all prepaid rent shall be retained by City.
B. If City, in its reasonable and sole discretion, determines that the use of the Site by Lessee is impairing or hindering City in its use of the Property so that continued use by Lessee is determined not to be in City’s best interest, and City delivers to Lessee written notice of the impairment and provides Lessee a reasonable period, not to exceed forty-five (45) days from the date such notice is delivered, within which to cure said impairment, and such impairment or hindrance is not timely cured or Lessee informs City that it is unable to cure said impairment within such 45-day period, City may, without further liability, immediately terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Lessee. Lessee shall be allowed to remove all of its personal property and return the Site to its pre-Lease condition.
C. Removal/Restoration. The portable air monitoring trailer and equipment installed on the Property by Lessee will be and remain Lessee’s personal property and, at Lessee's option, may be removed by Lessee at any time during the Term. City agrees that no part of the portable air trailer or air monitoring equipment constructed, erected or placed on the Property by Lessee will become, or be considered as being affixed to or a part of, the Property, it being the specific intention of City that all improvements of every kind and nature constructed, erected or placed by Lessee on the Property will be and remain the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee at any time during the Term. Lessee shall restore the Property to its condition on the 4 I:\cmo\Agreements\SCAQMD Lease Agreement FY24-0066.docx-msv.3 Effective Date of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear and loss by casualty or other causes beyond Lessee's control excepted. At the City’s discretion, Lessee may be responsible for the replacement of any trees, shrubs, or other vegetation removed for the placement of the portable air monitoring trailer and equipment installed on the Property by Lessee. Additionally at the City’s dis cretion, Lessee shall remove from the Property any underground utilities installed as part of the portable air monitoring trailer and equipment installed.
Section 12. Default.
A. If either Party is in default under this Lease for a period of: (a) fifteen (15) days following receipt of notice of default from the non-defaulting Party with respect to a default which may be cured solely by the payment of money; or (b) thirty (30) days following receipt of notice of default from the non -defaulting Party with respect to a default which may not be cured solely by the payment of money, then, in either event, the non -defaulting Party may pursue any remedies available to it against the defaulting Party under applicable law, including, but not limited to, the right to terminate this Lease. If the non -monetary default may not reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, this Lease may not be terminated if the defaulting Party commences action to cure the default within such thirty-day period and proceeds with due diligence to fully cure the default, and cures no later than ninety (90) days from the notice of default.
B. Upon a default, the non -defaulting Party may at its option (but without obligation to do so), perform the defaulting Party’s duty or obligation on the defaulting Party’s behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required insurance polici es. The costs and expenses of any such performance by the non-defaulting Party shall be due and payable by the defaulting Party upon invoice therefore. In the event of a default by either Party with respect to a material provision of this Lease, w ithout limiting the non -defaulting Party in the exercise of any right or remedy which the non-defaulting Party may have by reason of such default, the non - defaulting Party may terminate this Lease and/or pursue any remedy now or hereafter available to the non-defaulting Party under the Laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Site is located; provided, however, City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in connection with a default by Lessee. If Lessee so performs any of City’s o bligations hereunder, the full amount of the reasonable and actual cost and expense incurred by Lessee shall immediately be owed by City to Lessee, and City shall pay to Lessee upon demand the full undisput ed amount thereof without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if City does not pay Lessee the full undisputed amount within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice setting forth the amount due from City, Lessee may offset the full undisputed amount.
Section 13. Indemnity. Each Party shall defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless against any claim of liability or loss from personal injury or property damage resulting from or arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnifying Party, its employees, contractors or agents, except to the extent such claims or damages may be due to or caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the other Party, or its employees, contractors or agents.
Further, Lessee shall defend, and indemnify City against, all claims arising out of the installation, operation, use, maintenance, repair, removal or presence of Lessee’s portable air monitoring trailer and air monitoring equipment .

City shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Lessee for all claims or losses, including all costs and expenses, relating to any environmental or industrial hygiene conditions arising out of or in any way related to the condition of the Property or activities conducted thereon, unless such environmental conditions are caused solely by Lessee, in which event Lessee shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend City for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees for said sole negligence of Lessee. The obligations under this section shall survive the expiration of termination of the Lease.
Section 15. Taxes. Lessee shall be responsible for any real and personal property taxes assessed directly upon the Site arising from its use of the portable air monitoring trailer on the Site.
Lessee shall have the right, at its sole option and at its sole cost and expense, to appeal, challenge or seek modification of any tax assessment or billing for which Lessee is wholly or partly responsible for payment.

DATE: 01/21/2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Presentation and acceptance of the Fiscal Year 2024 City of Redlands Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, and the Independent Accountants’ Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures Related to the Article XIII-B Appropriations Limit Calculation (Management Services/Finance Director Garcia) MOTION(S):
I move to accept the City of Redlands Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and the Independent Accountants’ Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures Related to the Article XIII-B Appropriations Limit Calculation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
DISCUSSION:
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) communicates the City’s financial condition and activity for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. It is an audited summary report of the financial position and transactions of the City for the fiscal year. The Pun Group LLP, a certified public accounting firm, audited these documents and has provided an unmodified opinion of the City’s financial statements. An unmodified opinion communicates to users that the financial statements are fairly presented and that the information used in the report is consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. This is the best opinion that the City can receive from its auditors.
State statute and federal funding requirements stipulate the need for an annual audit to be conducted by independent certified public accountants. The Pun Group LLP was selected through a competitive selection process to perform these services for the City. The audit engagement was also designed to meet these services for the City. The audit engagement was also designed to meet the requirements of the Federal Single Audit Act of 1984 and related OMB Circular A-133, as well as the requirements of Statement on Auditing Standards 115 (SAS 115) and Statement on Auditing Standards 114 (SAS 114).
Accounting and reporting requirements adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) for annual financial statements of state and local governments have been implemented as required.
Pursuant to GASB guidelines, the City’s ACFR is divided into three sections:
Introductory, Financial and Statistical. The Introductory section contains a Letter of Transmittal. This letter includes a brief overview of the City, economic outlook, operational controls, and major initiatives. It also includes the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The GFOA's Certificate is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment. The City has consistently received this award for the last twenty-one years.
The ACFR presents the City’s financial condition and activity in a transparent and structured manner, which is explained in more detail in the section for Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The report also provides historical and comparative information that can be useful to City staff, elected officials, and external users such as debt rating agencies, businesses, other public agencies, and the City’s residents. The 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and several prior year reports are available on the City’s website at cityofredlands.org/ACFR.
Article XIII-B of the California Constitution places limits on the amount of revenue that can be spent by the state and each local government entity. It is the responsibility of the City to calculate the annual appropriations limit. The City’s auditors are required to review and approve the appropriations calculation as part of their audit to the City. The auditor found no exceptions to the City’s calculation of the appropriations limit. The Independent Accountants’ Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures Applies to Appropriations Limit Worksheet is included as an attachment to this report.

To the Members of the City Council and Citizens of the City of Redlands:
It is the policy of the City of Redlands to a nnually publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and audited in accordance wi th auditing standards generally accepted in the United State of America by a firm of certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the annual comprehensive financial statements of the City of Redlands (the City) for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2024.
This report consists of manage ment’s representations concerni ng the finances of the City.
Consequently, management assumes full responsi bility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the Ci ty’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in c o n f o r m i t y w i t h U . S . G A A P . B e c a u s e t h e c o s t o f internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we asse rt that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City’s financial statements have been audited by The Pun Group, LLP, an independent firm of certified public accountants. The goal of th e independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the Ci ty for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2024, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosure s in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant esti mates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor conc luded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rende ring an unmodified (“clean”) opinion that the City’s financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2024 were fairly presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
The independent audit of the financial statements of the City is typically part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited City’s internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards.
These reports are available in the City’s separately issued Single Audit Report.
U.S. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditor’s report.

Every two years, during the period from Febr uary through May, department heads prepare estimates of required appropriations for the upcoming two-year budget cy cle. These estimates are compiled into a proposed operating budg et, which includes a summary of projected expenditures, financial resources, and historical data from the preceding budget cycle. The City Manager’s Recommended Budget is then presente d either to the full City Council or to the Budget Subcommittee (comprised of two members of the City Council and the City Treasurer) at a public meeting noticed in accordance with the Brown Act. Following a series of two to three budget presentations during regular and special Council meetings, the biennial budget is formally adopted by the City Council at a regular meeting prior to June 30th of the second year in the current cycle.
The City Manager is legally au thorized to transfer budgeted amounts between divisions and accounts within the same department. Transfer of appropriations between departments or funds and increased appropriations must be auth orized by the City Council. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted approp riations within a fund. All appr opriations shall lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent they have not been expended or lawfully encumbered, in which case they are automatically carried over in t o t h e f o l l o w i n g f i s c a l y e a r a s p a r t o f t h e biennial budget resolution of City Council.

The City maintains budgetary contro ls to ensure compliance with provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Activities of the general fund, special revenue funds, debt servic e funds, capital projects funds, enterprise funds and internal service funds are included in the annual budget . Formal budgets are not employed for debt service funds because debt indenture provisions specify payments. The permanent fund is not budgeted. The level of control (level at whic h expenditures may not exceed budget) is the fund level. The City also maintains an encumbra nce accounting system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary control. Encumbered amounts are carried forward into the next fiscal year of a biennial budget by resolution of the City Council that is adopted at the same time the budget is adopted. Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. For the general fund and major special revenue funds, this compar ison is presented as part of the required supplementary information in the accompanying financial statements. For governmental funds that have appropriated annual budgets, other th an the general fund and major special revenue funds, this comparison is presented in the supplementary section of the accompanying financial statements.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates.
Local economy . Throughout fiscal year 2024, econom ic indicators reflected a mixed performance, showcasing both growth and ch allenges. Property tax revenue experienced r o b u s t g r o w t h o f 8 % c o m p a r e d t o t h e p r i o r f i s c a l y e a r , w i t h n e a r l y 1 . 7 % o f t h i s i n c r e a s e attributed the annual adjustment for CPI. Ne w residential and commercial construction contributed 1.7% to this growth, while prior-year property sale s accounted for an additional 3%.
Conversely, sales tax revenue contracted by 2%, driven by a decline in consumer spending.
While inflation has begun to cool, the prolonged pe riod of elevated prices in recent years has left many Americans financially strained, co ntributing to reduced discretionary spending.
Despite these challenges, the City’s economic foundation remains strong, buoyed by continued development and a growing property tax base.
The City of Redlands’ economy is based largely in the service and trade sector s (health care, retail trade, logistics, technology, and education). The region has a varied manufacturing and industrial base that has added to the relative stability of the unemployment rate over the years.
Redlands’ unemployment rate remains lower th an its neighboring communities. Since 2002, the annual unemployment rate for the City has ranged from a low of 2.9% in 2021 to a high of
10.5% in 2010, which surpasses the 2020 pandemic-related peak of 7.4%.
Major industries within the City’s boundaries or in proximity include computer software manufacturers, higher education institutions, light manufacturing, regional distribution centers and several financial and insurance institutions . Major employers in the City, or within the vicinity, include the Redlands Un ified School District, Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute), Redlands Community Hospital, Amazon Fulfillment Center, Beaver Medical Group, the City of Redlands, the University of Redlan ds, Burlington Coat Factory Distribution Center and Loma Linda University Behavioral Medical Center.
The City reviews a variety of indicators during the fiscal year as a part of the evaluation of the economic conditions impacting the City and to analyze trends and patterns therein.
viii
Unemployment Rate – The City’s unemployment ra te has experienced significant fluctuations over the past four years, re flecting broader regional and national trends. In 2020, unemployment reached its highest level since the Great Recession, driven by pandemic-induced economic disruptions. By 2021, the rate had recovered to a pre-pa ndemic low of 2.9%, a testament to the resilience of the City’s labor market. However, in 2022, unemployment rose to
5.5% as labor force participation outpaced job creation. In 2023, this trend moderated, with unemployment declining to 3.6%, a near 2% impr ovement from the prior year, signaling that the economy successfully generated jobs to support the expanding workforce.
This recovery aligns with the Inland Empire’s broader economic rebound, where industries such as logistics, healthcare, and professional services have driven job growth. Southern California as a whole has experienced steady hiring, with demand for skilled workers increasing in technology, education, and advanced manufacturing. Redl ands has benefited from these regional trends, leveraging its diverse economic base and strategic lo c a t i o n t o f o s t e r j o b creation and economic stability.
Assessed Value – The City’s assessed property values experienced remarkable growth in FY 2024, increasing by 9% over the prior fiscal year . This significant growth is attributable to a variety of factors that underscore the strength of the local real estate market. Nearly 1.7% of this increase resulted from new residentia l and commercial constr uction, while 3% was attributed to prior-year property sales at prices above assessed value. Another 1.7% of this growth stemmed from the standard 2% Consum er Price Index (CPI) adjustment allowed under California property tax law, further boosting the City’s revenue base.
The sustained rise in assessed value highlights the appeal of Redlands as a destination for both residential and commercial investment. The City's strategic location within the Inland Empire, coupled with state legislation encouraging housing development, has supported ongoing construction and property transa ctions. This growth also reflec ts broader trends in Southern California, where rising demand for housing and commercial spaces continues to push property values higher despite challenges in the broader economy.
ix
Housing Market - The local real estate market in Redlands demonstrated continued strength in FY 2024, with median home sale prices rema ining well above pre-pandemic levels. Although increased borrowing costs from interest rate hikes beginning in May 2022 eventually slowed housing sales in September 2022, home prices remained resilient, with the median price increasing approximately 4% between 2022 and 2023. This sustained demand for housing, combined with favorable state legislation, ha s spurred ongoing residential development across the City, with several projects currently in the entitlement process.
Assessed property values in Redlands grew by ne arly $1.1 billion in FY 2024, driven largely by prior-year transfers of ownershi p, which contributed 3% of the total increase, higher than the 2% average seen over the past decade. The assessed values for non-single-family residential (non-SFR) properties more than doubled as a result of these sale s, reflecting strong demand for commercial and multifamily properties. These trends underscore th e strength of Redlands’ real estate market as a key component of its fiscal health.
Regional and national economic conditions co ntinue to shape the City’s outlook. While inflationary pressures have eased and unemployment remains low, rising interest rates pose potential challenges for the housing market in the medium term. However, Redlands’ strengthening tax base, fueled by a robust real estate market and investments in multiuse and transit-oriented developments, positions the Ci ty to remain a key participant in the Inland Empire’s long-term housing demand growth.
The budget for fiscal year 2024 was part of the Ci ty’s first biennial budget adopted by the City Council, covering fiscal years 2023 & 2024. This biennial budget builds on the City’s continuing recovery from the pandemic and the significant addition of Measure T sax revenue beginning in April 2021 while investing in enhancements to services, infrastructure and programs that address deferred maintenance, homelessness, and other community priorities. In the General Fund, City revenue from combined sales tax sources increased from roughly $17,510,000 in 2020 to $47,629,600 million in 2024 (a n increase of 172%). Proper ty tax has continued to perform well as home prices re main high and new development that has occurred in years passed is added to the tax rolls. During the sa me time frame from 2020 to 2024, the City’s revenue from property tax gr ew from roughly $32,000,000 to approximately $41,700,000 (an increase of almost 30%).
x
In residential construction, th e City has continued to expand its housing stock with several major projects. At the close of FY 2024, there were over 2,400 apartment units and 1,400 single-family dwelling units in various stages of planning, entitlement, and construction. These include:
The Tennessee Village Project: A mixed- use development featuring 460 apartments (with 5% designated as very low-income units) and 18,000 sq. ft. of commercial space on Tennessee Street.
Lugonia Village Project: A high-density residential development with 436 apartments, 56 condominium townhomes, and 19 single-f amily residences on 25 acres near Pennsylvania Avenue.
The State Street Village Project: A transformative transit-oriented development to redevelop the former Redlands Mall site in to a mixed-use district with up to 700 apartments/condominiums and 65,468 sq. ft. of retail and commercial space.
The uptick in residential projects has been supp orted by compliance with the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) targets and favorable st ate legislation. These developments continue to meet the growing demand for housing in Redlands and contribute to the City's expanding tax base.
In terms of commercial growth, Redlands saw several new developments completed or underway, including:
Packing House District Phase 2: Two commerc ial buildings on 3.9 acres for retail and restaurant uses.
Redlands Railway District: Multiple retail a nd restaurant buildings, including a 7,968 sq. ft. multi-tenant structure and a 3,898 sq. ft. bank facility, alongside historic preservation projects.
The MOD Packinghouse Food Hall: Adaptive re use of a historic structure into a vibrant multi-tenant retail and dining destination.
These projects illustrate Redlands’ strong co mmitment to mixed-use and transit-oriented developments, ensuring a balanced approach to housing and economic growth. The City remains poised to address the challenges of risi ng interest rates while continuing to attract residential and commercial investment.
Other notable business openings in fiscal year 2023-24 include the following:
Sojo Industries, founded in 2021, expanded its operations to Redlands, California, in April 2024. Sojo Industries is an industrial automation company that utilizes robotics, mobility, and modularity to deliver efficient packaging and assembly solutions to the food and beverage industry.
Finney's Crafthouse & Kitchen, a family-owned American tavern known for its globally inspired, made-from-scratch menu, expanded into the Inland Empire with the opening of its Redlands location on September 25, 2023.
The Three Stags Irish Pub and Restaurant opened in November 2023 in downtown Redlands. They offer a warm and inviting atmo sphere, serving traditional Irish food and live music.
R Burgers Drive Thru opened in summer 2024. Located at 1280 Alabama Street, the establishment operates seven days a week from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
xi
Zoom Room, a dog training, agility and obedie nce facility opened in March 2024. They offer a variety of classes, including obed ience training, agility, puppy classes, and enrichment workshops, all using positive reinforcement methods. D-BAT Redlands, a premier baseball and softball training facility, opened in spring of 2024 and offers a range of training services, from developmental youth camps to private lessons.
Cornerstone BBQ, a Texas-style barbeque fast-casual restaurant, opened in November 2023. This is the business’ second location.
Le Chat Noir Bookstore & Cat Lounge opened its doors in January 2024. This unique establishment combines a bookstore, café , and cat lounge, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy coffee, browse books, and interact with adoptable cats. Since its opening, Le Chat Noir has facilitated the adoption of over 70 cats.
Successor Agency. The City of Redlands Redevelopmen t Agency – and all redevelopment agencies in California – were dissolved under AB1X 26 (and subs equently AB1484), effective as of February 1, 2012, and the City of Redlands , as “Successor Agency,” assumed responsibilities for winding down the operations of the Successor Agency.
On September 8, 2015, the DOF approved the Successor Agency’s Long-Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP). As of April 2019, the City has disposed of a ll remaining properties not specified for a governmental purpose in accordance with the LRPMP. In addition, all outstanding liabilities of the Successor Agency were satisfied as of the end of Fiscal Year 2023.
In order for the Successor Agency to dissolve, HSC Section 34187(b) requires the following:
A. All enforceable obligations have been retired or paid off; B. All real property has been disposed of pursuant to HSC Section 34181 or 34191.4; and,
C. All outstanding litigation has been resolved
With all enforceable obligations paid in full, all land disposed of, and all litigation settled, there is no need for the Agency to continue to exist and the criter ia to proceed with formally dissolving has been met. On June 10, 2024, the Countywide Oversight Board approved a resolution to formally dissolve the Successor Agency to the Rede velopment Agency of the City of Redlands. July 2, 2024, the state Departme nt of Finance acknowledged the end of the Agency's existence. Final dissolution of the Successor Agency of the Former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redlands took place in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Further discussion about the Successor Agency can be found in Note 17 of the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.
Long-term financial outlook/planning. As the economy transitions into a post-pandemic phase, the City continues to experience stabilit y bolstered by a diversified tax base, growing reserves, and a steady pipeline of residential and commercial develo pments. However, new economic dynamics, shaped by higher interest rates, evolving labor market conditions, and persistent inflation, will influence long-term fi nancial planning. These factors, coupled with global and national economic trends, present both opportunities and challenges for maintaining fiscal resilience.
xii
Provided the significant growth in assessed va lue seen in FY 2024 of 9%, growth in assessed property values remains a cornerstone of the City 's fiscal health, providing consistent revenues despite broader economic uncer tainties. However, with the Federal Reserve maintaining a higher interest rate environment, the housing market is likely to experience slower price appreciation and reduced transaction volumes in the coming years. Housing affordability and borrowing constraints may temper growth in property tax revenues, necessitating careful monitoring and prudent fiscal forecasting.
The City continues to benefit from a robust labor market, char acterized by low unemployment and steady workforce expansion. However, labor market dynamics are shifting as employers compete for talent in a constr ained labor pool, driving up wa ges. While this has supported consumer spending, a key piece of economic stab ility, it also imposes co st pressures on local businesses. The City's proactive approach to attracting diverse industries and supporting workforce development will play a critical role in sustaining economic growth.
Inflation has been a significant concern nationally , reaching levels not seen in decades. While there are signs of moderation due to monetary policy interventions, inflation remains elevated.
Despite higher interest rates intended to temp er economic activity, consumer spending and business investments have remain ed robust. This resilience suggests that the economy may avoid a severe downturn, aligning with projections of a "soft landing" where growth slows but does not contract sharply.
Global supply chain disruptions and geopolitic al uncertainties have affected economic conditions locally and nationally. While these factors pose challenges, they also present opportunities for local businesse s to adapt and innovate. The Ci ty's diverse economic base positions it to navigate these gl obal headwinds more effectively, leveraging local strengths to maintain economic momentum.
Despite these challenges, the City is well-positioned for long-term financial sustainability. Key strengths include:
Diversified Revenue Base: Continued grow th in assessed property values and development activities have expanded the City's fiscal foundation. Business Resilience: New and expanding busin esses provide a reliable source of tax revenue and employment opportunities.
Infrastructure Investments: Strategic us e of Measure T funding supports critical infrastructure and enhances the City's appeal to residents and businesses alike. Workforce Adaptability: Efforts to addre ss labor market constraints and support workforce development strengthen the City's economic base.
The long-term financial outlook for the City reflects cautious optimism amid a complex and evolving economic landscape. While external factors such as inflation, interest rates, and global dynamics will continue to pose challenges, the Ci ty's fiscal management and strategic planning provide a foundation for resilience. By investing in infrastructure, supporting workforce growth, and fostering economic development, the City is prepared to navigate uncertainties and secure a sustainable future for its residents.
The graph below provides an at-a-glance view of the City’s ability to prioritize spending and facilitate investment in long-term capital needs. In fiscal yea r 2024, the City’s General Fund reserves for capital projects included: $994,00 0 for parking improvements in the downtown, roughly $6 million in parks, equipment, facilit ies, sidewalks and building capital, $24.6 million for future city facilities, $2.5 million for pub lic safety/homelessne ss, and $2 million for unfunded mandates.
xiii
Notably, the ending unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was approximately $7.2 million higher than the prior yea r and roughly $21 million higher th an FY 2022, increasing from $39.5 million in FY 2022 to $60. 5 million in FY 2023. Further review of the General Fund is included within Management’s Discussion and Analysis which follows the independent auditor’s report.
Relevant Financial Policies
The City has adopted a set of financial policies based on best management practices and GFOA standards. These policies direct the admini stration of the budget, accounting practices, purchasing, debt, capital financing, investments, and capital assets. Cent ral to the management of the budget and reserves are two policies: th e Balanced Budget Policy – Ordinance No. 2660 (2007) and the Fund Balance Policy established by Resolution No. 7346 (2013). The Balanced Budget Policy requires that the City Counc il adopt a balanced budget on an annual basis wherein total financial sources meet or exceed the total fina ncial requirements of the City, excluding one-time capital expenditures. This ensures a structural balance of revenues and expenditures and creates sustainability with re gard to ongoing appropriations. The Fund Balance Policy provides that it i s t h e p o l i c y o f t h e C i t y t o a s s i g n a m i n i m u m o f 4 5 % o f t h e General Fund’s excess of Revenues over Expenses (the surplus – if any) each fiscal year for general fund assigned reserves in the categories of Capital Equipment, Building Purchases and/or Improvements, and Unfunded Mandates in equal proportion and 15% of that excess to the committee reserve for operating contingency. This policy has contributed to the City’s ability to invest in capital replacement of aging infrastructure of parks and public buildings as well as funding adequate reserves to respond to natural disaster s or other disruptions to the City’s critical revenue streams.
In June 2018, the City Counc il adopted Resolution No. 7983 establishing the City’s Debt Management Policy. Among other things, this policy establishes guidelines for the use of various categories of debt; creates procedures and policies that minimize the City’s debt service and issuance costs; and provides for full and comp lete financial disclosure and reporting. The Policy was developed to improve the quality of decision-making, provide justification for how debt issuance is structured, identify goals, a nd to validate the City’s commitment to strategic long-term financial planning. Maintaining complia nce with the Policy should demonstrate to rating agencies and to capital markets that the Ci ty is well managed and will be able to meet its financial obligations on a timely basis.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Redlands
Redlands, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Redlands, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the basic financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Redlands
Redlands, California
2 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with auditing standard s generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’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
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Budgetary Comparison Schedules, Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, Schedules of Contributions – Pension Plans, and Schedule of Changes in Total OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, as listed in the accompanying table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Redlands
Redlands, California
3 Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary Comparison Schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary Comparison Schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory and Statistical Sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 18, 2024, on our consideration of City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Also included in the accompanying report are fund financial statements. For governmental activities, the fund financial statements tell how these services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending.
Fund financial statements also report the City’s operati ons in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing information about the City’s most significant funds. The remaining statements provide financial information about activities for which the City acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of those outside of the government.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The annual report consists of four parts – management’s discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, required supplementary information, and an optional section that presents combining statements for non- major governmental funds and internal service funds. The basi c financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the City:
The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both long-term and short-term information about the City’s overall financial status.
The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the City government, reporting the City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements.
The governmental funds statements tell how general government services like public safety were financed in the short-term as well as what remains for future spending. Proprietary fund statements offer short- and long-term financial information about the activities the government operates like businesses, such as the water system. Fiduciary fund statements provide information about fiduciary relationships – like the custodial funds of the City – in which the City acts solely as agent or trustee for the benefit of others, to whom the resources in question belong.
The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of required supplementary information that provides additional financial and budgetary information.
Figure A-1 summarizes the major features of the City’s fi nancial statements, including the portion of the City government they cover and the types of information they contain. The remainder of this overview section of management’s discussion and analysis explains the structure and contents of each of the statements.

7 Reporting the City as a Whole
The accompanying government-wide financial statements include two statements that present financial data for the City as a whole. One of the most important questions asked about the City’s finances is, “Is the City, as a whole, better off or worse off as a result of the year’s activities?” The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid.
These two statements report the City’s net position and its changes. You can think of the City’s net position – the difference between assets, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources and liabilities – as one way to measure the City’s financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases and decreases in the City’s net position may be one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. You will need to consider other nonfinancial factors, however, such as changes in the City’s property tax base and the condition of the City’s roads, to assess the overall health of the City.
In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, City services are divided into two kinds of activities:
Governmental activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported here. Sales taxes, property taxes, state subventions, and other revenues finance most of these activities. Business-type activities – The City charges a fee to customers to help it cover all or most of the cost of the services accounted for in these funds.
Reporting the City’s Most Significant Funds
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City’s most significant funds – not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law or by bond covenants. However, City Council establishes many other funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting administrative responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants or other money. The City’s two kinds of funds – governmental and proprietary – use different accounting approaches.
Governmental funds – Most of the City’s basic services are repor ted in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other current financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed current-term view of the City’s general government opera tions and the basic services it provides.
Governmental fund information helps you determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to fina nce the City’s programs. We describe the relationship or differences between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds in a reconciliation on the page following the fund financial statements.
Proprietary funds – When the City charges cust omers for the services it provides – whether to outside customers or to other units of the City – th ese services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. In fact, the City’s enterprise funds (a component of proprietary funds) are part of the business-type activities we report in the government-wide statements but provide more detail and additional information for proprietary funds, such as statement of cash flows. The City’s internal service funds (the other component of proprietary funds) reports activities that provide supplies and services internally to other City departments and programs.

8 Reporting the City’s Fiduciary Responsibilities
The City is an agent for certain assets held for, and under the control of, other organizations and individuals. All of the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate Statem ent of Fiduciary Net Position. We exclude these activities from the City’s other financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.
Statement of Net Position
The following is a condensed Statement of Net Position as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, which allows for analysis of the City’s net position as a whole.

Net position over time may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position, however it may change dramatically year-to-year as a result of changes in accounting practices and assumptions. Table 1 shows that the net position of government-wide activities increased by approximately $40.9 million or 5.5%, from $740,992,336 in 2023 to $781,872,823 in 2024.
Governmental activities net position increased by 8.2%, fro m $515,551,949 at June 30 , 2023 to $557,931,945 at June 30, 2024. The City’s net position for business-type activities decreased by 0.7% from $225,440,387 in 2023 to $223,940,878 in 2024. For governmental activities, the increase of roughly $42. 4 million in net position is mostly attributable to the change in total asse ts less the change in total liability of $52.3 million, combin ed with the total changes in deferred inflows and outflows related to leases, pension and OPEB. For the business type activities, the slight decrease in total net position of 0. 7% (or $1.5 million) is attributable to an increase in total net assets of $3.8 million combined with changes in deferred outflows and deferred inflows of $5.3 million. Further detail on comparisons to the prior year is provided be

9 Statement of Net Position - Total Primary Government
Again, this year, the largest portion of total assets c onsists of capital assets (e.g., land, infrastructure and equipment), totaling $847 million or 73.5% of total assets. These are detailed in Note 6 of the financial statements. Net investment in capital assets of approximately $825 million represents the City’s investment in infrastructure and other capital assets, less accumulated depreciation and outstanding balances on borrowings used to construct or acquire those assets.
Cash and investments comprised $270.9 million in the City treasury and $933,000 of cash and investments held with fiscal agents. These assets are detailed in Note 2 of the financial statements. Deferred outflow of resources related to pension and O PEB decreased notably by $ 11.4 million, roughly 10%.
This change was primarily due to pe nsion contributions made after the m easurement date, the amortization of prior differences between expected and actual experience, and changes in assumptions. Deferred outflows related to OPEB were impacted by the recognition of prior changes in assumptions and differences in expected and actual experience.
Receivables, totaling $24.1 million, co nsist of accounts, taxes, interest and leases receivable. While most receivables consist of taxes and accounts payable, it is noted here that leases receivable recognizes agreements with third parties for the right-to-use of City property that is leased for special purposes. More information on leases receivable is found in Note 3 to the financial statements. Noncurrent long-term liabilities totaled $344 million, approximately, and represent the City’s obligations on debt, pensions, and other post-employment benefits. More information is presented in Notes 7 and 9-13 of the financial statements.
Other liabilities increased by 7%, from $29 million to $31.1 million. Aside from fluctuations in several other accounts in this category, the main cause of this incr ease is related to a significant increase in accounts payable, accrued payroll and unearned revenue.
Lease-related deferred inflows of resources decreased by $2.1 million for spaces and land leased out by the City.
As well, deferred inflows related to pension & OPEB increased by a net amount $11.9 million, roughly 19%.
These fluctuations are based on actuarial assumptions that are made during the measurement of each corresponding deferred inflow. More will be discussed regarding these categories below. Overall investment in capital assets, net of related debt, increased by $44.7 million, or 5.7%. This steady increase over the prior year is reflective of additions to right-o f-way assets, higher amounts of construction in progress, and additions to infrastructure assets, machinery, equipment & vehicles and lease assets. Restricted net position, totaling $46.1 m illion, represents resources that are subject to restrictions on how they may be used. Some funds are restricted for the purposes of funding specific capital projects, funding specific debt service obligations, to hold in trust as an endowment, or for other specific uses. The unrestricted net position amount of -$89.8 million represents an unrestri cted net position deficit, mainly resulting from the recognition of the net pension liability in fiscal year 2015, in accordance with GASB 68, and the recognition of total OPEB liability in fiscal year 2018, in accordance with GASB 75. Also, beginning in FY 2022, the City also recognized the deferred inflows related to leases in accordance with GASB 87. Additionally, starting in FY 2023, the City implemented GASB 96, which required the recognition of subscription liabilities and related intangible assets for subscription-based information technology arrangements. These accounting standards collectively contribute to the City’s negative unrestricted net position. Additional details can be found in Note 11 for the net pension liability, in Note 12 for the total OPEB liability , in Note 3 for leases, and in Note 1- J for subscription-based IT arrangements.

10 Governmental Activities
Receivables, totaling roughly $14.4 million, consist mainly of taxes receivable at $11.1 million, $2.2 million in accounts receivable, $677,000 in interest receivable and $376,600 in leases receivable. Recognition of leases receivable, in accordance with GASB 87 reflects the City’s portion of property leased to others for their right-of- use of a particular underlying asset.
The net position of governmental activities increased si gnificantly by 8.2% (or $42.4 million), attributable to a variety of factors. Cash and other assets increased by $16.5 million, capital assets increased by $41.5 million.
These increases were offset by deferred outflows rela ted to pension & OPEB decreasing by roughly $9 million and by increases in deferred inflows related to leases, pension & OPEB of roughly $7 million. Deferred outflows of resources related to pensions and OPEB decreased by $9 million, or approximately 10%, in FY 2024. OPEB deferred outflows decr eased by $6.1 million, primarily due to the amortization of prior-year changes in assumptions used to calculate the City’s Total OPEB liab ility. Also, pension deferred outflows decreased by $2.9 million, or 5%, driven by investment underperformance, primarily with changes in assumptions also contributing to this difference. Additional details on these changes can be found in Notes 11 and 12 of the financial statements.
This year, there was a net decrease of 0.1%, or $241,400 in total liabilities. While there were many areas within current and noncurrent liabilities that saw somewhat signi ficant fluctuation, the increase in current liabilities of nearly $2.7 million was offset by a decrease in noncurrent liabilities of $2.9 million. o Decreases in OPEB liability were the largest contributor and were influenced by favorable experience variances,
such as lower-than-anticipated healthcare costs and other demographic factors like plan elections and retirements. Changes in aggregate net pension liability were also significant, increasing by nearly $8 million. Key drivers include lower-t han-expected investment returns from CalPERS, which did not meet the assumed 6.8% rate, resultin g in higher unfunded liabilities. Additionally, the amortization of prior-year investment losses and interest on existing unfunded liabilities contributed to the increase. There are more details available in Notes 11 & 12 of the financial statements. Deferred inflows of resources related to pension d ecreased by $4.4 million. This reduction reflects the amortization of prior differences between projected and actual investment returns and changes in demographic and economic assumptions as part of the annual actuarial analysis performed by CalPERS. In contrast, OPEB deferred inflows increased by $13 million, or 30%, over the prior year. This increase is primarily due to changes in assumptions, including adjustments to the discount rate and updated healthcare cost trends, as well as differences between expected and actual experience for OPEB plan participants.
Business-Type Activities
The net position of business-type activities decreased by 0. 7%, or $1.5 million. This change is attributed to an increase in total assets of $3.3 million; a decrease in deferred outflows fro m pension and OPEB of $2.4 million; and a decrease in total liabilities of $500,000, and an increase in deferred inflows from leases, pension and OPEB of $3 million for a net increase of $1.5 million overall. Receivables, totaling $9.7 million, represent an incre ase of approximately $851,000 from the prior year. The majority of accounts receivable relate to the Water, Wastewater and Solid Waste unbilled customer accounts (totaling $9 million). Half of this increase is attributed to the recognition of roughly $433,000 in interest receivable. This represents unapportioned interest earne d on the idle cash within each fund under business type activities.
Total capital assets of $209.6 million represent 24.8% of total capital assets citywide.

11 Business-Type Activities (Continued)
Deferred outflows of resources related to pension and OPEB decreased by $2.4 million, roughly 12%. o OPEB deferred outflows decreased by approximately $1.7 million, or 13%. This was primarily due to changes in assumptions, such as adjustments to healthcare cost trends and the discount rate, as well as differences between actual and expected experience in the plan’s utilization and demographics. o Pension deferred outflows decreased by $706,000, or 9%. This change was driven by multiple factors including the City’s pension contributions made af ter the measurement date of the actuarial report, updates to actuarial assumptions, differences between projected and actual investment earnings, and variances between expected and actual participant outcomes. This year, there was a decrease of roughly $500,000 in total liabilities. o In terms of noncurrent liabilities – there was an increase of roughly $1 million. Two components of noncurrent liabilities had significant changes in opposite directions: the landfill closure liability increased by roughly $3.8 million due to inflationary construction cost projections and the total OPEB liability decreased by roughly $3.7 million due to favorable experience variances, such as lower-than-anticip ated healthcare costs and other demographic factors like plan elections and retirements. Outs ide of these offsetting changes, aggregate net pension liability increased by roughly $1 million due to lower-than-expected investment returns from CalPERS, and the amortization of prior-year investment losses and interest on existing unfunded liabilities contributed to the increase. Deferred inflows of resources related to leases, pension and OPEB increased by nearly $3 million, roughly 19%. o Deferred inflows related to leases decreased by $270,000 as existing leases of land owned by the Water, Aviation and Cemetery Funds were paid by the current lessees. o Pension deferred inflows decreased by $409,000 to zero. As not ed above under Governmental Activities, this reduction reflects the amortization of prior differences between projected and actual investment returns and changes in demographi c and economic assumptions as part of the annual actuarial analysis performed by CalPERS.
o These decreases were totally offset by an increase in deferred inflows related to OPEB of $3.6 million.
These inflows reflect updated actuarial assumptions for healthcare costs, discount rates, and actual experience being less favorable than projected.

Total Primary Government –
Total Primary Government revenues for fiscal year 2024 decreased slightly by 2%, or roughly $5.3 million. This small decrease belies some significant changes from the previous year. There have been noteworthy fluctuations in both operating grants and contributions (an increase of nearly $9 million) as well as in capital grants and contributions (a decrease of $15.4 million).
Property tax grew by 6%, or $2.5 million. This growth in revenue is attributed to higher taxable values driven by property transfers of ownership, the annual adjustment fo r inflation (CPI), and new construction within the City from prior years being enrolled by the County’s Recorder.
City of Redlands
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
13 Investment income saw significant growth over the prior year of nearly $11.2 million due to a number of factors affecting financial markets that were particularly beneficial for the City’s conservative investment policy. Total expenses for the City varied si gnificantly in fiscal year 2024, increasing by nearly $49.7 million, or 30%, with the following Program areas that experienced th e highest increases: general government, public safety, water, disposal (solid waste), and sewer. More detail on these fluctuations is presented below. Transfers between governmental activities and business-type activities decreased slightly by roughly $85,000, or 3%.
Governmental Activities
Total Governmental Activity revenues for fiscal year 2024 decreased slightly by 0.01%. While this small overall change might seem insignificant, it conceals notable fl uctuations among individual revenue categories. The largest driver of this variation was a $15.3 million decre ase in capital grants and contributions compared to the prior fiscal year. This decrease reflects the unique circum stances of FY 2023, where an unusually high volume of infrastructure projects were completed simultaneously, resulting in a temporary surge in capital grant funding.
In contrast, the FY 2024 amount represents a return to mo re typical levels of grant revenue, aligned with the City’s ongoing pace of infrastructure additions. These fluc tuations underscore the variable nature of capital funding tied to the timing of major project completions. Operating grants and contributions increased by just over $9 million in FY 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to a large pass-through grant the City received and administered on behalf of the University of Redlands, demonstrating the City’s role as a key partner in securing and managing funding for local institutions.
Additionally, the City was awarded an Encampment Reso lution Fund grant of over $3 million, aimed at addressing and resolving homelessness encampments within the community. While these two grants account for the bulk of the increase, other fluctuations, including the completion of prior-year grant-funded projects, reduced the overall impact on operating grants and contributions. These dynamics reflect the variable nature of grant funding tied to the timing and lifecycle of specific projects. Investment Income revenue saw a very significant increas e of 235%, or nearly $6.5 million, when compared to the prior year. Much of this is due to was due rising in terest rates providing higher yields on the City’s fixed- income investments, favorable reinvestment rates, and improved economic cond itions post-pandemic also contributed to stable investment retu rns as compared to the previous year when there may have been lingering economic uncertainty.
Sales Tax
revenue contracted by 2%, driven by a decline in consumer spending. While inflation has begun to cool, the prolonged period of elevated prices in recen t years has left many Americans financially strained, contributing to reduced discretionary spending. Desp ite these challenges, the C ity’s economic base remains resilient, as its diverse industry group mix provides stability through fluctuations in individual sectors of the economy.
Property taxes increased by 6.2% and were boosted by sales figures in 2022, which were very strong for a majority of the year until interest rate hikes began to have an effect on the market, most notably towards the end of the year for home prices and number of sales. That, coupled w ith new construction being a dded to the property tax rolls lead to a very strong increase in assessed values for the City. Other General Revenues decreased by roughly $2.2 million, and this is attributable to a prior-year cost recovery received from the San Bernardino Regional Transportati on Authority (SBCTA) for cost sharing related to Interstate-10 / Alabama Street improvements of near ly $2.7 million. The reimbursement this year, which represents some of the final cost-sharing activity for this project, was roughly $450,000. Total expenses for Governmental Activities increased significantly in fiscal year 2024 by $38.4 million (or
37.4%). This was caused by a variety of factors and one-time fluctuations in spending, most notably grant-related spending, capital outlay and a significant grant transfer agreement with the University of Redlands. The following categories saw the largest fluctuations over the prior year:
City of Redlands
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
14 o General Government expenses increased by roughly $13.3 million (or 46.13%). The increase was due to several factors, including higher expenses for staff, including pension & OP EB (net of each other), but more significantly – an $8 million grant transfer agreement between the City of Redlands and the University of Redlands. There were also higher grant-funded expenses in the Governmental Grants Fund of $1.7 million addi tion as a result of the City’s American Rescue Plan Act grant and its Encampment Resolution Funding grant.
o The Public Safety category saw a significant increase over the prior year as well. Spending in this category was up $22 million, or 45.8%. This variance can be understood in the context of a significant reduction in the prior year of expenses related to pensions of nearly $11.4 million. There were other factors, such as higher personnel expenses of nearly $4.5 million, as the City was able to fill vacancies that had persisted since the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing job market challenges. o Highways & streets also increased by $1.8 million, or 15%, which was due to a variety of factors, including higher depreciation over last year, increases in OPEB & pension expenses (net of each other), higher spending on special contractual and one-time capital projects.
Business-Type Activities
Overall, the ending net position for the business-type activities decreased by $1.5 million, or 0.7%. Comparing fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024, total revenues increased by $5.3 million overall, or 7.6%. The increase in revenues is almost exclus ively due to the significant increase of $4.7 million in investment income earned in the current year. There is also additional reve nue in the Water and Citrus funds contributing to these changes.
o Operating grants and contributions, while comprising only 0.15% of total revenues for Business-Type Activities, decreased significantly by 70%, or roughly $270,000. This was due to the prior year draw down of grant funding for one-time projects from th e Federal Aviation Administration and the State Water Resources Water and Wastewater Arrearages funding programs. o Charges for Service remained relatively consistent with the prior year, with a small increase of 0.21%, or $134,000.
o Investment income revenue saw a very significant in crease of 420%, or $4.7 million, when compared to the prior year. As noted above, much of this is due to was due rising interest rates providing higher yields on the City’s fixed-income investments, favorable reinvestment rates, and improved economic conditions post-pandemic also contributed to stable investment returns as compared to the previous year when there may have been lingering economic uncertainty. o Other revenue saw an increase of $865,700, or roughl y 78%. This increase was due to factors such as the one-time sale of water shares owned by the City (from South Maintain Water Company) as well as a large payment from San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District to reimburse the City for water conservation rebates. There was also additional mi scellaneous revenue in the groves fund of roughly $115,000, mostly related to the refund of revolving funds held with various packinghouses. Expenses increased overall from fiscal year 2023 levels by nearly $11.3 million, or 18%. The programs with the largest increase in expenses were the Solid Waste (Disposal), Wastewater (Sewer) funds. The largest decrease was in the Groves fund. Over the prior year:
o In the Water Fund, expenses increased by nearly $3 .9 million, or 14.5%. This increase was caused by higher expenses related to pensions, salaries and benefits of roughly $2 million and $1 million in added costs for professional services to support complex ca pital improvement projects, including the sludge press design for the water treatment plant and the redesign of the Joint Utilities Laboratory. There was also a significant increase in spending of $736,0 00 for water meters and fittings as the City makes strides to move all water meters to an automated metering infrastructure (AMI).
City of Redlands
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
15 o In the Solid Waste (Disposal) Fund, expenses increased by $5.2 million or roughly 29%. This increase was mainly due to increases in pe nsion, salaries and benefit expenses of $1.5 million; the recognition of a $3 million increase in closure/post closure expe nses for the California Street Landfill; as well as other improvements of nearly $500,000 related to the Landfill Gas Extraction Well Installation Phases 2 & 3 and nearly $131,000 in expenses to rent a replacement D8 dozer for landfill compaction operations.
o In the Wastewater (Sewer) Fund , expenses increased by $2.6 million, also roughly 19%. These increases were due to higher costs for salaries & benefits (mainly due to pension expense recognition) of $1.5 million; chemical and lab supplies, higher costs for building and grounds maintenance and the purchase of machinery and equipment in the amount of $220,000, as well as increased depreciation in the current year of $221,000. There was also roughly $588,000 more in expenses for special contractual services. Most of these expenses related to the SCADA integration project as well as engineering services and field support for the City’s wastewater treatment plant solids facility. o In the Groves Fund, expenses fluctuated among the various categories. Spending decreased most in salary and benefits (by roughly $184,000) as well as for general and administrative expenses (by $249,000), particularly in special contractual services . This is mostly due to reduced farming costs.
These decreased were partially off set by increases in other categori es, notable an increase of $84,000 in parts and supplies. This is due to the added expe nse of extra care related to the Oriental Fruit Fly quarantine and the Huanglongbing Citrus quarantine.

Expenses overall for governmental activities totaled $141 million. This total represents the cumulative effect of increased pension costs, the recognition of OPEB, and de ferred outflows and inflows related to both. Employee compensation is also reflected in this amount.
Expenses for general government comprise 30% of tota l governmental activities, or $42.2 million. General government includes functions such as human resources, finance administration, engineering and City Council. Expenses for public safety represent 50% of total governmental activities in the am ount of $70.4 million. The main operations within public safety are the Police and Fire Departments. These departments are service-centric.
As such, personnel costs represent the majority of cost s in these departments. The effect of salary increases, pension cost increases and the recognition of OPEB liability tend to have a larger impact proportionately for public safety activities.
Expenses for highway and streets are 10% of all governmental activities, or $13.9 million. These expenses include spending on the City’s Pavement Accelerated Reha bilitation Implementation Strategy (PARIS) program, operations, and maintenance as well as other capital repairs to road infrastructure. Culture and recreation, Library, and interest on long- term debt comprise 7%, 3%, and 0.5% of government activity respectively, or $9.9 million, $4 million, and $679,000.

18 Major differences between revenues and expenses for business-type activities are show in the two charts above.
o Fiscal year 2024 saw a slight decrease in Water revenues of $310,000, or 1%, and an increase in expenses of $3.9 million, or 14.5%. Decreased revenues are the result the variation of billing cycles and the date the accruals are made for accountin g purposes. While charges for water usage was down slightly by less then 1%, this was offset with hi gher revenue from frontage charges. Overall, revneue in this fund was stable compared to the prior year. Expenses did in crease somewhat significantly this year. This is attributed to higher costs for pensio ns, salary, benefits, professional services related to complex capital projects and the water meter replacement program. o For Solid Waste (Disposal) operations, there was a slight increase in revenues over fiscal year 2023 of $403,000, or almost 2% and an increase in expenses in the amount of $5.2 million, or nearly 30%.
Decreased revenues are the result the variation of billing cycles and the date the accruals are made for accounting purposes. Higher expenses are largely due to a significant adjustment over the prior year to the expense recorded for the closure/post closur e maintenance expense for the California Street Landfill. This year’s expense was $3 million higher than the prior year because the annual inflation factor could not be used to calculate the annual expense, but rather a complete overhaul of the landfill’s permit and closure/post-closure maintenance plan w as required. Those plans were than analyzed to develop a new cost estimate, according to any ch anges. The resulting expe nse reflects the updated closure/post-closure plan. Other expenses related to pension, salary and benefits increased, as well as costs for capital improvements related to landfill gas extraction wells and the costs to rent a D8 dozer while the one in operation was repaired and ultimately replaced. o In the Wastewater (Sewer) Fund, revenues increased by $625,600, or 4.5%, and expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 19%. The increase in revenues a function of the variation of billing cycles which impacts the amount of revenues accrued and reversed during the accounting cycle. Higher expenses reflect the change in pension, salary and benefit costs, higher depreciation costs, additional spending on parts and supplies as well as expenses for special contractual services. Most of these expenses related to the SCADA integration project as well as engin eering services and field support for the City’s wastewater treatment plant solids facility.
o Lastly, for nonmajor business-type funds,
The Groves Fund experienced a significant decrease in revenue by roughly $836,000, or 97%.
This follows a prior year increase of roughly $818,000 (or 95%). The market for citrus fruit is notably unpredictable and this can cause the marketability of the City’s citrus to vary substantialy from one year to the next.
The Hillside Memorial Cemetery had a 3.4% d ecrease in revenues of $39,250 due to slight variations in cemetery lot sales and internment services. There was a commensurate reduction in expenses as well ($42,500, or 4%).
The Aviation fund saw a large decrease in reve nues of $93,700, or 69%. This was due prior year grant revenue that was one-time in nature. Expenses also decreased by roughly $29,000, or 4%. Most of these decreases were in general and administrative expenses. The Non-Potable Water Fund experienced a decrease in revenues of 4.8%, or $31,000. The decrease in revenue is related to a decrease in charges for nonpotable water service. The City is actively working on a plan to enable mo re consumption of nonpotable water through transmission projects. Expenses were up slightly, by 2%, or $18,800.

MAJOR FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to provide pr oper financial management of the City’s resources and to demonstrate compliance with finance-related accounting standards and legal pronouncements.
Major Governmental Funds. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of June 2024, the total fund balance reported for the General Fund was $111,176,689, an increase of $218,848 (0.2%) from the prior year ending fund balance of $110,957,841. While the change in ending fund balance is slight, there were some large variations between this year and the prior year that warrant discussion below.
As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it can be u seful to compare the total fund balance to total fund expenditures. This measure indicates that the fund balance is approximately 98% of general fund expenditures (of $113 million), however, only $60,505,969 of the $111 million fund balance is unassi gned. The unassigned fund balance of $60.5 million, together with the $9.7 million in fund bala nce committed to stabilization arrangement (contingencies), is the only portion of fund balance readily available for spending and represents 62% of general fund expenditures.
Total general fund expenditures this year were $113.4 million, which is $20.9 million higher than the prior year amount of $92.5 million. Total general fund revenues were $122.6 million, or 5.5% higher than the prior year amount of $116.3 million.
Significant changes in revenues for the City’s General Fund over the prior year are as follows:
Property tax increased again by $3.2 million, or 8%. This significant increase is due to a few factors affecting the prior year’s enrolled values. Since there is a lag between the time a property is assessed in value and the time when the taxes are collected from property owners, th is year’s revenue reflects assessed values in effect during calendar year 2022. In 2022, home prices and home sales reached a peak for most of the calendar year, until the cumulative effect of multiple interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve began to cool this trend in the housing market. These factors lead to strong growth in the City's total assessed values, which grew by a factor of roughly 9.1% for the fiscal year. Different property use categories grew at different rates. Most of this growth (33%) is due to transfers of ownership, the CPI 2% gr owth factor (18%), and some new construction of both residential and non-residential properties (18.5%).

20 MAJOR FUNDS (Continued)
Overall sales tax decreased by $1 million, or 2%, representing an elastic source of revenue that, unlike property taxes, is more responsive to current economic conditions without the same lag time. This slight decrease is a reflection of the inflationary pressures that consumers have faced and a reduction in spending of discretionary income as a result.
Other taxes encompass possessory inter est taxes, the City’s hotel tax (referred to as the transient occupancy tax), and the mining tax. This year’s revenues were n early 14% lower than the prior year, roughly $433,000.
Possessory interest and franchise fees were 31% and 12% lower this year, respectively. Decreases in possessory interest are likely due to the termination or non-renewa l of leases of public property. Declines in transient occupancy tax revenue is likely caused by a variety of factors, including competition from short-term rentals, a reduction in available lodging due to the use of hotel vouchers. It could also reflect the reduction in discretionary consumer spending similar to sales tax revenues. Licenses and permits reflect an increase of $375,800 or 4.2%. This increase is due to an increased collection of business license revenue, offset by reductions in other categories. The vast majority of business license revenue is based on the gross receipts of a business. Healthy grow th in this category is an indication of a strong local economy.
Intergovernmental revenues increased by $326,700 or 72%, which is primarily the result of a very significant increase in Mutual Aid received in the current fiscal year. This year-to-year amount in this revenue category fluctuates according to wildfires and other extreme conditions where mutual aid assistance has been requested by other cities and fire departments and is then reimbursed after the fact. Charges for services decreased by $319,000, or 4.3% from prior year. While there are variations over and under in each revenue account, the largest decreases were in the categories of plan check, rental property inspections and application/filling fees.
Earnings from investment income increased significan tly from FY 2023, by $5.3 million. This dramatic increase was due to rising interest rates providing highe r yields on the City’s fixed-income investments, favorable reinvestment rates, and improved economic conditions post-pandemic also contributed to stable investment returns as compared to the previous year when there may have been lingering economic uncertainty. For Rents and leases, revenue decreased by $654,000, or 36%. This decrease reflects two major changes: the City’s termination of its agreement with AYSO for the use of the Sports Park and the revenue associated with that agreement as well as the termination of leases (and, hence lease revenue) associated with businesses that formerly occupied 300 East State Street who have ended their leases with the City. Miscellaneous revenue decreased by roughly $280,000, or 12%. This decrease is attributed to a prior year one- time donation from the Friends of Prospect Park ($363,000) for lighting upgrades to the park, offset by various positive and negative fluctuations among several other revenues in this category. Transfers in increased in FY 2024 over the prior y ear by approximately $543,000, a 23% increase. This was due higher gas tax revenues collected, as well as higher levels of fixed asset transfers from the business-type activity funds.

21 The Public Facilities Fund, previously reported as a Ma jor Fund, accounts for the collection and expenditure of development impact fees designated for constructing new and upgrading existing public facilities. As of June 30, 2023, this fund held advances payable to other funds totaling $7,706,632. Through a combination of City Council action to forgive the amounts owed to the General Fund and repayment made by the fund to satisfy the last remaining amount owed to the Water Fund, this balance has been reduced to $0.
The origin of this advance receivable involves a series of public improvements that were initially debt-financed and subsequently refinanced multiple times, with the final maturity date in 2017. As part of the refinancing, the General Fund assumed responsibility for servicing half of the debt , while the Public Facilities Fund was tasked with the other half. During years when the Public Facilities Fund's re venues were insufficient to meet its share of the debt service, the General Fund covered the shortfall, resulting in the accrual of an advance receivable from the Public Facilities Fund.
As the balance of this advance exceeded $7 million and repayment remained uncertain, the City Council determined that forgiving the loan was appropriate based on two critical factors:
Timeliness: Development impact fees collected in th e Public Facilities Fund should be directed toward projects and facilities tied to current development. In this case, the fees were being used to repay debt incurred for projects completed in the distant past.
Nature of Projects Financed: The projects financed by the original borrowing—including the Corporate Yard, Fire Station 263, a public parking structure, and improvements to the A.K. Smiley Public Library— are legitimate obligations of the General Fund. The General Fund is designated to support general government services such as fire protection, public in frastructure, and library services, making it a more appropriate source for these expenses.
The fiscal impact of forgiving the inte rfund loan is primarily limited to adjustments in the assets and liabilities of the respective funds, rather than involving cash transacti ons or expenditures. Specifically, within the Public Facilities Fund, forgiveness eliminated advances payable totaling $7,706,632. The last remaining amount of $16,091 owed to the Water Fund was repaid with interest using revenues from the Public Facilities Fund, fully satisfying the Water Fund’s advance receivable. Within the General Fund, forgiveness eliminated the advance receivable balance of $7,690,541, reducing it to $0. As a result of this action, the Public Facilities Fund no longer meets the criteria for reporting as a Major Fund.
The Governmental Grants Fund was established to account for the receipt and expenditure of grant monies received from various agencies for general government projects and purposes. This fund tracks the City’s allocation of Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds issued through the American Rescue Plan Act in the amount of $11,508,106, the largest federal grant the City has received to date. It also tracks several other noteworthy grant projects, including the City’s Community Block Development Grant program, engineering grants for transportation projects and equipment and facility grants for the Police and Fi re departments. It is also used to track all grants received in support of the Homelessnes s Solutions Team, including the Consumer Services and Housing Agency for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program (ERF-2-R) grant award in the amount of $4,529,069.
Major Enterprise Funds. The Water Fund has a total net position of $151 million at the end of the fiscal year, $22.8 million of which is unrestricted. The Solid Waste (Disposal) Fund has a total net position deficit of ($4.3 million) at the end of the fiscal year, which marks a $2.8 million reduction over the prior fiscal year; and its unrestricted net position is a deficit of ($21.4 million). This significant fluctuation is due to several factors: an increase in deferred inflows related to OPEB, which was pa rtially offset by deferred inflows related to Pension being reduced to zero, as well as significant increases in the Fund's net investment in capital assets and the Fund's net position restricted for capital assets. The Wastewater Fund has a total net position of $55.8 million at the end of the fiscal year; $4 million of which is unrestricted. These funds account for th e respective utility services provided
by the City. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City’s business-type activities.

23 Some of this can be attributed to better-than-expected grow th in property tax, as discussed earlier. Strong growth in property tax revenue has been seen over the last several y ears. The total assessed value of property in the City has increased significantly over the last 5 years, but this rate of growth is expected to decline in future years. The higher- than-anticipated revenues from property tax helped to offset underperforming sales tax receipts.
The other significant variation vis-à-vis budget is the inception of finance purchase agreement and the inception of lease liability in the amounts of $3.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. In compliance with GASB Statement No. 87, the City recognizes lease agreements as part of its financial activities. This year, the inception of lease liability is reported under General Fund revenues to reflect th e financial impact of new lease ag reements for key operational assets, including:
Police Patrol Vehicles: Essential for maintaining public safety and responding to emergencies. Public Works Vehicles: Critical for infrastructure maintenance and other city services. Fire Department Vehicles: Used for non-emergency tasks such as inspections, logistics, and administrative duties.
3 Type-1 Fire Engines: Used for emergency response.
The “inception of finance purchase agr eement” and "inception of lease liability" represent the initial recognition of these finance purchase and lease agreements, respectively, whic h include the future lease payments that the City is obligated to make. These are offset by the City's right to use the vehicles during the lease term.
All revenue categories had positive variances, except for th e categories of Fines & Forfeitures and Rents & Leases.
While investment income had a slightly negative varian ce with the final budget, it represented a significant increase compared to the original budget of $200,000.
Licenses and permits performed better than expected by ro ughly $1.25 million, or 15.7%, above forecasts. This was mainly due to increased receipts from business licenses and building permits.
Intergovernmental revenue was higher than expected by approximately $394,000, or 102%. This is due mainly to the timing of mutual aid reimbursement revenues, as the reimbur sement process can lag by 60 to 90 days after the City’s request for reimbursement of the related funds. Higher-tha n-anticipated revenue from mandated cost reimbursement also contributed to this increase.
Charges for service were slightly higher by $246,000, or 3.6%. This revenue categor y covers numerous individual revenue objects. While many areas fluctuated between actual amount and the final budget amount, the largest variance was an increase in receipts from Building & Safety plan checks as well as city classes and programs.
Rents and leases were roughly $395,00 0 lower than budgeted amounts. These revenues include lease revenue from a six-story office building located at 300 East State Street in downtown Redlands. The decrease in the revenue from this building reflects the expiration and early move-out dates opt ed for by then-current tenants as the City prepares the building for occupancy by its administrative staff.
Transfers in were higher than budgeted by 15.5%. This can be attributed to higher funding received from the Gas Tax Fund and the Traffic Safety Fund. This is caused by more re venue than anticipated being collected in these funds, as both of them are cleared to zero at the end of the accounting cycle, transferring all of their revenue into other funds, with most of it going to the General Fund.
Miscellaneous revenues were up by $106,300, or 5.3%. This was mainly due to an increase in miscellaneous receipts from the transfer of late fees from the Enterprise Funds to the General Fund.
Total General Fund expenditures ended the year under budget by 2.9%, or $3.9 million. The vast majority of the unspent funds will be carried forward to the subsequent fiscal year (2025) for expenditure.
City of Redlands
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
24 General Government expenditures ended the year under budget by 10.1%, or $2.7 milli on. Part of this is attributed to savings in the areas of retiree health insurance premiums, savings on costs associated with lower expenditures on professional services as well as salary savings across most departments.
Public Safety expenditures were under budget by $2.8 million, or 5%. Much of this savings is due to salary and overtime savings in the Police and Fire departments, as well as unspent funds for vehicle leases, services, supplies, equipment, and building improvements.
Culture and Recreation was under budget by roughly $91,300, or 1.1%, this was attributable to unspent funding on projects in the Parks division, as well as other fluctuations across multiple expenditure categories in Parks, Trees and Recreation & Senior Services divisions.
Highways and Streets expenditures were under budget by $232,500, or 4.6%. This savings was mainly a result of savings in the Streets Division in cont ractual and garage expenses, offset by some overspending in the Electrical Division.
Library expenditures were just under bu dget by less than $5,000, or 0.1% at y ear-end. The difference is due to minor, offsetting variations in several spending categories.
Capital outlay expenditures were over budge t by $2.1 million, or 17.3% at year-e nd. This variance can be explained through the recording of construction in progress of roughly $2.27 million across the General Fund. This is an unbudgeted expense and represents capitalized costs for ongoing projects that have not yet been completed or transitioned to depreciable assets, reflecting investments in infrastructure and other long-term improvements.
Actual debt service expenditures were below budgeted levels, at a savings of 24%, or $1.3 million, under budget. This is due mainly to equipment & vehicle capital leases not being fulfilled by the manufacturer/suppliers by the end of the fiscal year. Most of these leases were for the Police Department, where r oughly $1.1 million was budgeted to acquire patrol vehicle leases budgeted for in FY 2024. As noted above, almost all of these appropriations are carried over into the following fiscal year.
A total overall favorable variance between actual revenues & expenditures of $10.6 million resulted from a combination of stronger revenue performance in property tax combined with significant savings across departments. Savings on salaries & benefits, contractual services, and vehicle & equipment purchases resulted in the positive variance for the General Fund.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The City’s capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2024, amounted to nearly $847 million (net of accumulated depreciation and amortization). This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and improvements, machinery a nd equipment, vehicles, infrastructure, wate r rights, rights of way and construction in progress. It also includes the new category of lease assets and subscription assets in compliance with GASB Statements Nos. 87 and 96. The subscription asset category reflects the va lue of the City’s right, as a part of a subscription-based information technology arrangement, to use the informati on technology as an asset over the life of its corresponding arrangement, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 96. Similarly, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 87, the lease asset category reflects the value of the City’s right to use leased assets, such as vehi cles or equipment, over the term of the lease agreement, representing a shift towa rds recognizing leases as both a right-to-use asset and a corresponding lease liability.
City of Redlands
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
25 Major capital asset events for Governmental Activities during FY 2024 include the following:
Additions and deletions to machinery, equipment, and vehicles in governmental activities resulted in a net decrease of $986,000, 3.7%. This decrease reflects the auction and proper disposal of a larger numbe r of vehicles and equipment than were acquired during the year. Over time, a backlog of aged vehicles had accumulated, and the City has made significant progress in addressing this by removing these assets from its records and ensuring proper disposal. Notably, many of the disposed assets included long-held police and fire department vehicles and equipment. During the year, the City also added key assets, including a donated vehicle and a new vector truck for the streets division, supporting essential services and operational efficiency.
Net additions to infrastructure assets in general government activities totaled nearly $10.5 million, or 3.8%. Roughly $8.7 million of these additions were the result of project s constructed by the City, including the 2022 Alley Paving Improvements and the 2022 and 2023 Pa vement Management Program street r esurfacing projects. Deletions in this category represent adjustments made when portions of existi ng infrastructure assets were replaced or reconstructed.
Specifically, if an infrastructure asset was newly constructed, no deletions were recorded.
However, if an asset was completely reconstructed, the full cost of the original asset was removed from the records as a deletion. For assets where only a portion was removed and replaced, the corresponding percentage of the original asset's cost was recorded as a deletion in the accompanying schedules.
Construction in Progress values in general government activities increased significantly by $4.9 million, or 43%. This increase reflects the initiation and continuation of several large capital improvement projects and equipment purchases, including the Fire Station No. 262 Remodel Architectural and Construction Services, th e Redlands Bowl Lighting, Speakers, Communication Outlets & Cabli ng Replacement, the purchase of three Type I Fire Engines, and the 2023 Alley Paving Improvement Project. Transfers and deletions in this category represent projects that were completed by June 30, 2024. Upon completion, these projects were recl assified into other asset categories, most commonly the infrastructure asset class, to reflect their transition from in-progress to capitalized assets.
Right-of-way assets increased by 8.8%, or $29.8 million. This increase was primarily due to several public development projects noted above under net additions to infrastructure assets, including the 2022 Alley Paving Improvements and the 2022 and 2023 Pavement Management Pr ogram street resurfacing projects. Right-of-way assets include land and infrastructure dedicated to public use, su ch as streets, sidewalks, and alleys, which play a crucial role in maintaining safe and efficient transportation networks. These assets reflect the City’s commitment to improving local mobility and accessibility for residents and businesses.
Accumulated Depreciation increased by $6.6 million, or 4.2%. The City’s measurement of accumulated depreciation is based on estimated useful lives by infrastructure asset type . Estimated useful lives were initially established using engineering standards, as well as discussions with City sta ff regarding the City’s maintenance program for each asset type. The largest increases were in the categories of road system assets and building & improvements.
New categories have been introduced in the capital assets not e as a result of the implementation of GASB Statements Nos. 87 and 96. These include lease assets, subscription assets, and accumulated amortization, which are being presented here to align with these updated reporting standards.
Lease assets represent the value of the C ity's right to use leased properties, vehicles, and equipment under long-term agreements in compliance with GASB Statement No. 87. These assets are recognized when the City enters into lease arrangements for essential services and operations. Overall, lease assets increased by roughly $3.1 million, or 240%, as a result of new lease agreements for public works and public safety vehicles.
City of Redlands
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
26 Subscription assets represent the value of the City's right to use software and other technology under subscription-based information technology arrangements in compliance with GASB Statement No. 96. These assets are recognized when the City enters into agreements for IT services critical to operations and ser vice delivery. Overall, subscription assets decreased by roughly $170,600, or 29%, as a result of expired subscriptions.
Accumulated amortization represents the portion of lease and subscription asset values that have been expensed over time as the City uses these assets. This measure reflects th e wear and usage of intangible assets in compliance with GASB standards. Overall, accumulated amortization decrea sed by roughly $590,700, or 85.6%, as a result of newly added assets that have not yet undergone significant amortiza tion or adjustments to prior accumulated balances due to asset reclassifications.
For business type activities, machinery, equipment and vehicle assets increased by roughly $872,000, or 3.62%, representing purchases of office, laboratory and sampling equi pment as well as the purchase of three (3) front-loading solid waste collection vehicles.
Infrastructure assets increased by roughly $5 million, or 2.42%. The vast majority of this increase can be attributed to the reclassification of construction in progress from the co mpletion of the 2022 Water Pipeline Replacement Project that replaced roughly 3 miles of water pipeline.
Construction in progress increased by $3.7 million, or 44%, as the result of the net effect of the completion the 2022 Water Pipeline Replacement, as well as the initiation and continuation of additional capital projects like the Recycled Water Reservoir design, the Tate raw water influent pipeline project, the SCADA Equipment upgrade project, the Water Facilities Generator design services project, the Automated Metering Infrastructure implementation project, and the Hinckley Treatment Plan Sludge Press Engineering project.
Accumulated depreciation increased by $7.9 million, or 4%, with the largest increases in the categories of Infrastructure and Building & Improvements. Lease Assets increased by $2.2 million, or 360% and this reflects new vehicle leases in the Water, Wastewater and Solid Waste divisions. Subscription Assets were reduced to zero as a result of the expiration of existing agreements. Accumulated amortization increased by $223,100 as a result of newly added assets that have not yet undergone significant amortization or adjustments to prior accumulated balances due to asset reclassifications.
Overall, for primary government the City’s net capital assets increased significantly by $45.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, or 5.7% over prior year. This is slightly lower than the previous year’s increase of 7.5%.

Additional information on the City’s Capital Assets can be found in Note 6 of the section titled Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.
Long-Term Liabilities
Major long-term liability events during FY 2024 include the following:
The Lease Liability category increased significantly by $3.8 million, or 283% as a result of the addition of 80 new leases for vehicles in Police, Fire, Building Mainte nance, Streets, Parks, Engineering, Solid Waste, Cemetery, Water and Wastewater operations.
Subscription Liability is recognized in accordance with GASB Statement No. 96, which requires that the City establish accounting methods for a right-to-use subscription asset representing its agreements for subscription- based information technology arrangements and a corr esponding subscription liability for the same. This liability was reduced by 70%, or $130,400 due to the expiration of a technology agreement. Taxable pension bonds experienced a decrease of 3% as a result of annual debt service and no new additions were made to such debt.
The Revenue Bond liability was fully eliminated during the fiscal year following the repayment of the Solid Waste Revenue Bonds, Series 2013A. This serial bond was secured by a pledge of revenues from the Solid Waste (Disposal) Fund to ensure repayment of the debt.
Notes payable decreased by roughly $1.2 million, or 7%, as a result of repayments and no new additions to debt in this category.
Claims payable had a very small reduction $92,400, or 0.6% due to minor variances in claims filed against the City, which can fluctuate significantly from year to year. Compensated absences increased by approximately $912,200, or 10% . This increase is attributed to a combination of higher employee leave accruals compared to leave usage during the fiscal year and a citywide wage increase, which elevated the valuation of accrued leave balances.
City of Redlands
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
28 The landfill closure liability increased significantly by $3.8 million due to a substantial adjustment in the plan for closure and post-closure maintenance of the California Street Landfill. This was higher than the prior year because a comprehensive overhaul of the landfill’s perm it and closure/post-closure maintenance plan was required, rather than relying on the annual inflation factor. The updated plans were thoroughly analyzed to incorporate changes and develop a revised cost estimate. The resulting amount reflects the updated closure and post-closure requirements, significantly influenced by increases in the Construction Cost Index and Consumer Price Index (CPI), which played a critical role in driving up projected costs. In FY 2023, the City experienced a $55 million (27%) reduction in Total OPEB Liability, primarily driven by updated actuarial assumptions and favorable experience variances. While the FY 2024 decrease is smaller, the $17 million reduction (11.6%) underscores continued favorable trends in act ual experience, including lower healthcare costs and demographic shifts, albeit to a lesser extent than the prior year. The City’s net pension liability (NPL) increased by $8.9 million, or 5.75%, during the fiscal year. This moderate increase follows a more dramatic rise of $68.3 million (79%) in the prior year. This increase was driven by CalPERS’ investment underperformance, with actual returns falling below the assumed 6.8%, as well as the annual accrual of interest on the Unfunded Accrued Li ability (UAL), the amortization of prior years' losses under CalPERS’ smoothing methodology, and ongoing adjustments to actuarial assumptions such as salary scales and demographic factors.

City of Redlands
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
65 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of Redlands, California (the “City”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Boar d (“GASB”) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and fi nancial reporting standards in the United States. The more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described below.
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City is a municipal corporation governed by a five-member city council with the mayor elected by the council itself. The City was incorporated in 1888 under the general laws of the State of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges applicable to a General Law City. Th e City provides the following services: police; building inspection; parks and streets; water; disposal; sanita tion; leisure services; planning and zoning; general administration services; aviation; and redevelopment.
Blended Component Units
The financial reporting entity consists of the primary government, the City , and its component units. Component units are legally separate entities for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. In addition, component units can be othe r organizations for which the primary government is accountable and their exclusion would cause the reporting en tity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in subs tance part of the government’s operation and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. Discretely presented component units, on the other hand, are reported in a separate column in the combined financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the government.
Although the following are legally separate from the City, they have been “blended” as though they are part of the City because the component unit’s governing body is substantially the same as the City’s and there is a financial benefit or burden relationship between the City and the component unit; management of the City has operational responsibilities for the component units; and/or the component units provide services entirely, or almost entirely, to the City or otherwise exclusively, or almost exclus ively, benefits the City, even though it does not provide services directly to it.
Redlands Public Improvement Corporation
The Redlands Public Improvement Co rporation (“Corporation”) was organi zed in June 1985 pursuant to the Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law of the State of California, solely for the purpose of providing financial assistance to the City by acquiring, constructing, improving, developing and installing certain real and personal property together with appurtenances and appurtenant work for the use, benefit and enjoyment of the public. The corporation was formed at the request of the City and the directors receive no compensation. The corporation is presented as a governmental fund type.
Redlands Joint Powers Financing Authority (JPFA)
The Redlands Financing Authority (“Authority”) was estab lished May 1, 1999, pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Laws of the State of California. The Authority was created by the former Redevelopment Agency and the City for the primary purpose of assisting the financing of capital improvements, working capital, liability and other insurance needs, or projects whenever there are significant public benefits. No separate annual financial statements are prepared for the Authority.

66 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
A. Financial Reporting Entity (Continued)
Related Organizations
The City of Redlands’ officials are also responsible for appointing members of the boards of other organizations, but the City of Redlands’ accountability for these organizations does not extend beyond making the appointments.
The board of the Friends of the A.K. Smiley Public Li brary and the Redlands Historical Museum Association are appointed by the City Council.
B. Basis of Presentation, Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of fu nds, each of which is cons idered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by pr oviding a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Fund acc ounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrati ng compliance with finance-re lated legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds is maintained in accordance with legal and managerial requirements.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The City’s Government-Wide Financial Statements incl ude a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Activities. These statements present summaries of govern mental and business-type activities for the City accompanied by a total column. Fiduciary activities of the City are not included in these statements.
These financial statements are presented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City’s assets and liabilities, including capital assets, as well as infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the accomp anying Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities presents changes in Net Position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Revenues, expe nses, gains, losses, assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources resulting from non-exchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of U.S. GAAP.
Program revenues include charges for services, special ass essments, and payments made by parties outside of the reporting government's citizenry if that money is restri cted to a particular program. Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net cost of each program. Program revenues for the City are classified in three categories:
Charges for services
Operating grants and contributions
Capital grants and contributions
Certain eliminations have been made in regards to interfund activities, payables and receivables. All internal balances in the Statement of Net Position have been eliminated except those representing balances between the governmental activities and the business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the total primary government column. In the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position, internal service fund transactions have been eliminated; however, those transactions between governmental and business-type activities have not been eliminated.

67 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
B. Basis of Presentation, Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued)
The following interfund activities have been eliminated:
Due to/from other funds
Advance to/from other funds
Due to City/from Fiduciary Funds
Transfers in/out
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Governmental Fund Financial Statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. An accompanying schedule is presented to reconcile and explain the differences in Net Position as presented in these statements to the Net Position presented in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The City has presented all major funds that met the applicable criteria.
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expend itures and Changes in Fund Balances presents increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance expend itures of the current period. Measurable means that the amounts can be estimated, or otherwise determined. Ava ilable means that the amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to be availa ble to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period. The City uses an availability period of 60 days for all revenues.
Sales taxes, property taxes, franchise taxes, gas taxes, motor vehicle in-lieu, transient occupancy taxes, grants and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period to the extent normally collected with in the availability period.
Other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available when cash is received by the government.
Revenue recognition is subject to the measurable and av ailable criteria for the governmental funds in the fund financial statements. Exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period in which they are earned (i.e., the related goods or services are provided). Locally imposed derived tax revenues are recognized as revenues in the period in which the underlying exchange transaction upon which they are based takes place.
Imposed non-exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period for which they were imposed. If the period of use is not specified, they are recognized as re venues when an enforceable legal claim to the revenues arises or when they are received, whichever occurs first. Government-mandated and voluntary non-exchange transactions have been recognized as revenues when all applicable eligibility requirements have been met.
The Reconciliation of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government-Wide Financial Statements is provided to explain the differences created by the integrated approach of GASB Statement No. 34.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - This fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures used to finance the traditional services associated with a municipal government which are not accounted for in the other funds. In Redlands, these services include general government, public safety, culture and recreation, highway and streets, and library.
Governmental Grants Special Revenue Fund - This f und accounts for the receipt and expenditure of grant monies received from various agencies for general government projects.

B. Basis of Presentation, Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued)
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Position, and a Statement of Cash Flows.
A separate column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, internal service balances and activities have been combined with the governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The City’s internal service funds include funds which provide services directly to other City funds.
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses a nd Changes in Fund Net Po sition presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total Net Position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. In these funds, receivables have been recorded as revenue and provisions have been made for uncollectible amounts.
Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are those re venues that are generated fro m the primary operations of the fund. All other revenues are reported as non-operating revenues. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as non-operating expenses.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Water Fund - This fund is used to account for the activities of the City's water utility operations, projects, debt service costs, and impact fees of the City.
Disposal Fund - This fund is used to account for the activities of the City's refuse disposal collection operations, projects, debt service costs, and impact fees of the City.
Wastewater Fund - This fund is used to account for th e activities of the City's wastewater utility operations, projects, debt service costs, and impact fees of the City.
Internal service fund balances and activities have been combined with governmental activities in the Government- Wide Financial Statements, and are comprised of the following funds:
General Liability Self-Insurance Fund - This fund is used to account for the City’s self-insured general and automobile liability programs, which are provided to all City departments and funds.
Information Technology Fund - This fu nd is used to account for the general maintenance and service of all City computers and phone equipment provided to all City departments.
Workers' Compensation Self-Insurance Fund - This fund is used to account for the City’s self-insured Workers’ Compensation and General Safety Programs, which are provided to all City departments and funds.
Equipment Maintenance Fund - This fund is used to account for providing ongoing maintenance of all City vehicles and major equipment and to account for vehicle rental services to all City departments.

Utility Billing Fund - This fund is used to account fo r billing services costs provided for water, sewer, and solid waste.
Payroll Clearing Fund - This fund is used to account for the City’s reoccurring payroll obligations.
Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary fund financial statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The City’s fiduciary funds represent custodial funds and private purpose trust funds. Both custodial funds and the private purpose trust funds are accounted for on the full accrual basis of accounting.
Fiduciary fund types are accounted for according to the na ture of the fund. Custodial funds are used to report fiduciary activities that are not required to be reporte d in pension (and other empl oyee benefit) trust funds, investment trust funds, or private-purpose trust funds. Private-purpose trust funds account for resources of all other trust arrangements in which principal and income benefit individuals, private organizations, or other governments (i.e. unclaimed property/escheat property). They are al so used to account for vari ous assessment districts for which the City acts as an agent for debt service activity, as the City is prohibited from levying additional taxes for these districts. Such funds include Community Facilities Districts, which do not have trust agreements with the City.
The City’s private purpose trust fund is a fiduciary fund type used by the City to report assets, liabilities and activities of the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency) for the City of Redlands. Its results of operations are presented on the Statement of Changes of Fiduciary Net Position.
Successor Agency of the Redevelopment Agency for the City of Redlands
The Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Fund was created to serve as a custodian for the assets and to wind down the affairs of the RDA on February 1, 2012, pursuant to Assembly Bill x1 26. Its purpose is to expeditiously wind down the affairs of the dissolved Redevelopment Agency (RDA). The Successor Agency is a separate public entity from the City, subject to the direction of an oversight board. The City Council serves as the governing board of the Successor Agency. In gene ral, the Successor Agency’s assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contract ual commitments). In future fiscal years, the Successor Agency will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of th e former RDA until all enfor ceable obligations of the fo rmer RDA have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated. Based upon the nature of the Su ccessor Agency’s custodial role, the Successor Agency has been included in the accompanying basic financial statements as a private purpose trust fund. In February 2015, the California Department of Finance (Finance) approved the City’s revised Long-Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP), with the assets deemed for governmental use and future development.
C. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
The Statement of Net Position and Balance Sheet – Gove rnmental Funds reports separate sections for Deferred Outflows of Resources, and Deferred In flows of Resources, when applicable.

70 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
C. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources (Continued)
Deferred Outflows of Resources represent a consumption of net assets th at applies to future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then.
Deferred Inflows of Resources represent an acquisition of net assets th at applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
D. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. The City considers pooled cash and investment amounts, with original maturities of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.
Investments are reported in the accompa nying financial statements at fair value, except for certain investment contracts that are reported at cost because they are not tran sferable and they have terms that are not affected by changes in market interest rates. Changes in fair value that occur du ring a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year, a nd may result in negative investment income in the accompanying financial statements. Investment income includes interest ear nings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized up on the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.
Investment income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds b ased on each fund's average cash and investment balance, except for investme nt income associated with funds not legally required to receive pooled investment income which has been assigned to and recorded as revenue of the general fund, as provided by California Government Code Section 53647.
For purposes of the statemen t of cash flows, amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents, include amounts on deposit in the City pool and any short-term, highly liqui d investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.
Certain disclosure requirements, if applicable, for deposits and investment risks in the following areas:
Interest rate risk
Credit risk
- Overall
- Custodial credit risk
- Concentration of credit risk
Foreign currency risk
In addition, other disclosures are speci fied including use of certain methods to present deposits and investments, highly sensitive investments, credit quality at year-end and other disclosures.
U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes disclosures about fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specified, recorded at fair value in the Statements of Net Position, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.
Levels of inputs are as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for iden tical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
71 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
D. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments (Continued)
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that refl ect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
E. Restricted Cash and Investments
Certain restricted cash and investments are held by fiscal agents for the redemption of bonded debt, for acquisition and construction of capital projects, and to meet bond indenture debt reserve requirements.
F. Receivables
Customer or trade receivables are reported as “accounts receivable” and are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on hist orical and management estimates.
Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables (e.g., “notes receivable”) due to governmental fund types are reported in their respective balance sheets despite their spending measurement focus. Recognition of governmental fund type revenues represented by noncurrent receivables are deferred until they become current receivables.
Noncurrent portions of long-term notes receivable are offset by restricted fund balance in the special revenue funds.
G. Interfund Transactions
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outst anding between the governmental activities and business- type activities are reported in the Governmental-Wide Financial Statements as “internal balances.”
H. Inventories and prepaid items
Inventory, consisting of expendable supplies, is valued at first in first out basis. The cost of governmental funds inventory is recorded as expenditure at the time the individual inventory is consumed. Prepaid items are recorded at cost. Using the consumption method, prepaid items are recorded as expenditures over the period that service is provided. Reported inventory and prepaid items are equally offset by a fund balance reservation, which indicates that they do not constitute “available spendable resources” even though they are a component of current assets.
I. Leases
Lessee
The City has a policy to recognize a lease liability and a right ‐to‐use lease asset (lease asset) in the government‐ wide financial statements. The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $25,000 or more.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease lia bility at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made.

72 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
I. Leases (Continued)
Lessee (Continued)
Lease assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities and modified by any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term, less any lease incentives received from the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term along with any initial direct costs that are ancillary charges necessary to place the lease assets into service. Lease assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, unless the lease contains a purchase option that the City has determined is reasonably certain of being exercised. In this case, the lease asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments.
The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purch ase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure any lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
Lease assets are reported as right to use along with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long- term debt on the statement of net position.
Lessor
The City is a lessor for leases of special purpose facilities, office and commercial space, and land. The City recognizes leases receivable and deferred inflows of resources in the financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflows of r esources are initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflows of resources are recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term in a systematic and rational method.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts.
The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circum stances that would require a remeasureme nt of its lease and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that ar e expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.

73 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
J. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs)
The City has a policy to recognize a SBITA liability and a right ‐to‐use subscription asset (SBITA asset) in the government-wide financial statements with an initial, individual value of $25,000 or more with a subscription term greater than one year.
At the commencement of a subscription, when the subscription asset is placed into service, the SBITA liability is measured at the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscripti on term. Future subscription payments are discounted using the City's incremental borrowing rate and the City recognizes amortization of the discount on the subscription liability as interest expense in subsequent financial reporting periods.
SBITA assets are measured as the sum of the initial sub scription liability, payments made to the SBITA vendor before the commencement of the lease term, and capitali zable implementation costs less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term. Subscription assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the subscription term.
Key estimates and judgments related to SBITAs include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments.
- The City uses the interest rate charged by the SBITA vendor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the SBITA vendor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for SBITAs.
- The subscription term includes the period during whic h the City has a noncancelable right to use the underlying IT asset. The subscription term also includes periods covered by an option to extend if it is reasonably certain to be exercised.
- Subscription payments included in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option years that the City is reasonably certain to exercise. The City monitors changes in circumstances that w ould require a remeasurement of a subscription and will remeasure any subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability.
Right-to-use subscription assets are reported along with other capital assets and subscription liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the statement of net position.
K. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, rights of way, structures, equipment, and infrastructure assets , the right to use leased equipment, and infrastructure assets, are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements . Such assets are recorded at historical cost (except for intangible right‐to‐use lease assets) or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated assets are valued at the fair value of the assets on the date on which they were contributed. Donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are reported at acquisition value rather than fair value. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. The City utilizes a capitalization threshold of $5,000 depending on asset type.
Major capital outlay for capital assets and improvements ar e capitalized as projects are constructed. For debt- financed capital assets, interest incurred during the construction phase is reflected in the capitalization value of the asset constructed, net of interest earned on the invest ed proceeds over the same period. Capital assets acquired through lease obligations are valued at the present value of future lease payments at the date acquired. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated acquisition value at the date of contribution.

K. Capital Assets (Continued)
Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method in the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements of the proprietary funds.
Depreciation is charged as an expense against opera tions and accumulated depreci ation is reported on the respective balance sheet. The range of lives used for depreciation purposes for each capital asset class is as follows:
Asset Type Years
Infrastructure 20-75
Buildings and improvement 10-40
Machinery, equipment, and vehicles 3-25
Lease and subscription assets Contract term
L. Long-Term Debt
Government-Wide Financial Statements and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Long-term debt and other financial obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate funds. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using straight line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable premium or discount. Issuance costs are expensed when incurred. Gains or losses on bond refunding are reported as either deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources and amortized over the term of the related debt.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
The governmental fund financial statements do not present long-term debt but are shown in the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Shee t to the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position. Governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Debt issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
M. Compensated Absences
A total of 10 to 25 days of vacation and 12 days of sick leave per year may be accumulated by each employee. The City accrues a liability for compensated absences which meets the following criteria:
1) The City's obligation relating to employees' rights to r eceive compensation for future absences is attributable to employees' services already rendered.
2) The obligation relates to rights that vest or accumulate. Payment of the compensation is probable. 3) The amount can be reasonably estimated.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
For governmental and business-type activities, compensated absences are recorded as expenses when earned.
Fund Financial Statements
For governmental funds, compensated absences are recorded as expenditures in the year paid. The General Fund is typically used to liquidate compensated absences. In proprietary funds, compensated absences are expensed to the various funds in the period they are earned, and such fund’s share of the unpaid liability is recorded as a long- term liability of the fund.

N. Claims and Judgments Payable
The short-term and long-term workers’ compensation clai ms liability is reported in the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Internal Service Fund. The short-term and long-term general claims liability is reported in the Comprehensive Liability Insurance Intern al Service Fund. The short-term liability which will be liquidated with current financial resources is the amount of settlement reached, but unpaid, related to claims and judgments entered.
Under the modified accrual basis, the following revenue sources are considered to be susceptible to accrual:
property taxes, sales taxes, federal and state grants.
O. Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, de ferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pens ion expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans (Note 11). For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The General Fund and Internal Service Funds are typically used to liquidate the pension liability related to the City's governmental activities while the pension liability for Bu siness-type activities is liquidated from the respective Enterprise Funds.
The following timeframes are used for pension reporting:
Valuation date June 30, 2022
Measurement date June 30, 2023
Measurement period July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023
Gains and losses related to changes in total pension lia bility and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inac tive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.
P. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the OPEB plan, the assets of which are held in an irrevocable trust, and additions to/deductions from the OPEB pl an’s fiduciary net position have been determined by an independent actuary (Note 12). For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the bene fit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The General Fund and Internal Service Funds are typically used to liquidate the OPEB liability related to the City's governmental activities while the OPEB liability for Busi ness-type activities is liquidated from the respective Enterprise Funds.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and fiduciary net position information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation date June 30, 2023
M easurement date June 30, 2023
M easurement period July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023
Q. Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contr acts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of formal budgetary control in the governmental funds.
R. Fund Balances
In the Governmental Fund Financial Statements, fund balances are classified in the following categories:
Nonspendable – Items cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items and inventories, items that are legally or contractually requi red to be maintained intact, such as principal of an endowment or revolving loan funds.
Restricted – Restricted fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions. This includes externally imposed restrictions by creditors, such as through debt covenants, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, as well as restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed – Committed fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources, the use of which is constrained by limitations that the government imposes upon itself at its highest level of decision making (normally the governing body) and that remain bi nding unless removed in the same manner. The County Council is considered the highest auth ority for the City. A City Council resolution is required to have fund balance committed.
Assigned – Assigned fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources reflecting the government’s intended use of resources. Assignment of resources can be done by the highest level of decision making or by a committee or official designated for that purpose. The City Council has not delegated the authority to assign fund balance to management.
Unassigned – This category is for any balances that have no restrictions placed upon them. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other than the General Fund, if expenditures incurred for speci fic purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.

R. Fund Balances (Continued)
Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the City will fund outlays fo r a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted and unrestricted, a flow assumption must be made about th e order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted f und balance to have been deplet ed before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned and then unassigned fund balance.
Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpo se from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calcu late the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the government-wide and pr oprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.
Stabilization Arrangement
As described in Chapter 3.06 of the Municipal Code, the City has established a stabilization arrangement committing a minimum of 12 percent of the sum of the General Fund’s operating expenses and operating transfers out. The balance at June 30, 2024, is $9,794,310 and is included in committe d fund balance. These funds may be used only when the City is faced with an unforeseen or uncontrollable event which includes but is not limited to:
1) Local revenue shortfalls due to a major business closure or relocation. 2) Legislative or judicial mandates to provide new or expanded services or programs that, in total, cost the City $200,000 or more.
3) Natural and civil disasters such as earthquakes, fires, floods, riots and health epidemics.
S. Net Position
For the Government-Wide Financial Statements, net position is classified in the following categories:
Net Investment in Capital Assets component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization and reduced by any debt outstanding and any deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to such borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. If there are significant unspent related debt proceeds at year-end, the portion of the debt attributable to the unspent proceeds is not included in the calculation of net investment in capital assets. Rather, that portion of the debt is offset by unspent proceeds.
Restricted component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets.
Unrestricted component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position.

78 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
S. Net Position (Continued)
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, the City’s policy is to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources that are needed.
T. Property Taxes
With the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978 (Article XIIIA, California State Constitution), property taxes are limited to one percent of market value, plus additional taxes for repayment of existing or subsequent voter- approved indebtedness. Under Article XIIIA, the market value of taxable property is subject to a maximum annual increase of two percent. Market value may be appraised at signi ficantly more than two percent depending on other factors such as improvements, sale or change of ownership. The City receives a portion of the one percent general tax levy which is shared by several other local governments includi ng the county and the school district. The City's share is based on a formula prescribed in Section 26912(b) of the Government Code. The county apportions property taxes to the City on a scheduled basis which generally adheres to the actual tax collection periods. The tax lien date is January 1 of each year and covers the ensuing fiscal year 's tax returns. The tax levy date is from July 1 to June 30 of each year. The first installment becomes due on N ovember 1 with penalties and interest accruing after December 10. The second installment is due no later than April 10.
U. Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP re quires management to make estimates and assumptions, in some cases when a pplicable, that affect the amounts in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
V. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncements for the Year Ended June 30, 2024
The requirements of the following accounting standards are effective for the purpose of implementation, if applicable to the City, for the year ended June 30, 2024.

GASB Statement No. 102 – In December 2023, GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures . This Statement requires a government to assess whether a concen tration or constraint makes the primary government reporting unit or other reporting units that report a liability fo r revenue debt vulnerable to the risk of a substantial impact. Additionally, this Statement requires a government to assess whether an event or events associated with a concentration or constraint that could cause the substantial impact have occurred, have begun to occur, or are more likely than not to begin to occur within 12 months of the date the financial statements are issued. Application of this statement is effective for the City’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
GASB Statement No. 103 – In April 2024, GASB issued Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
80 Note 2 – Cash and Investments (Continued)
The City maintains a cash and investment pool for all funds. Certain restricted funds that are held and invested by independent outside custodians throug h contractual agreements are not pooled. These restricted funds include cash and investment held by trustees.
A. Demand Deposits
The carrying amounts of the City’s demand deposits were $46,847,550 at June 30, 2024. Bank balances were $48,533,537 at that date, the total amount of which w as collateralized or insured with securities held by the pledging financial institutions in the City’s name as discussed below.
The California Government Code re quires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City’s cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a se curity interest in such collateral su perior to those of a general creditor.
Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's name.
The fair value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California law also allows institutions to secure City’s deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the City’s total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requiremen ts for cash deposits, which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The City, however, has not waived the collateralization requirements.
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required to be held by fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures. In terest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated to the various funds based on the period-end cash and investment balances. Interest income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.

E. Risk Disclosure
Debt and equity securities classified in Level 2 are valued using the following approaches:
• U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, and Commercial Paper: quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active;
• Medium term notes: quoted prices for similar securities in active markets; and • Asset-backed securities: recent appraisals of the asset value.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City's investments (including investments held by fiscal agent) to market inte rest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City's investments by maturity:

Disclosures Relating to Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits:
The California Government Code requires that a financ ial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposi ted by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. At June 30, 2024, the City’s deposits (bank balances) were collateralized under California Law.
F. Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a participant in the Lo cal Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”) which is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The City’s investments in LAIF at June 30, 2024 included a portion of pool funds invested in Structure Notes and Asset- Backed Securities:
Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash -flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) de pend upon one or more indices and/or that have embedded forwards or options.
Asset-Backed Securities, the bulk of which are mortgage-backed securities, entitle their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) or credit card receivables.
As of June 30, 2024, the City had $31,825,662 invested in LAIF, which had invested 3.00% of the pool investment funds in Structured Notes and Asset-Back Securities. LAIF determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities where market quotations are readily available and based on amortized cost or best estimate for those securities where fair value is not readily available. The City valued its investments in LAIF as of June 30, 2024, by multiplying its account balance with LAIF times a fair value factor determined by LAIF. This fair value factor was dete rmined by dividing all LAIF participants ’ total aggregate amortized cost by total aggregate fair value. The fair value of the City’s position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares. The credit quality rating of LAIF is unrated as of June 30, 2024.

G. California Asset Management Program
The City is a voluntary participant in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). CAMP is an investment pool offered by the California Asset Management Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a joint powers authority and public agency created by the Declaration of Trust and established under the provisions of the California Joint Exercise of Powers Act for the purpose of exercising the common power of its Participants to inv est funds. The investments are limited to investments permitted by California Govern ment Code. The total amount invested by all public agencies in CAMP at June 30, 2024 was $20.0 billion, respectively. A board of five trustees who are officials or employees of public agencies has oversight responsibility for CAMP. The value of the pool shares in CAMP, which may be withdrawn at any time, is determ ined on an amortized cost basis, which is different from the fair value of the City’s position in the pool. At June 30, 2024 the amortized cost approximates the City’s cost.
Note 3 – Lease Receivable
A. Governmental Activities

Note 10 ‒ Solid Waste Landfill
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to provide financial assurance for closure and post closure costs of the California Street Landfill site when it stops accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for fifteen years after closure. Although closure and post closure activities will be paid only near or after the date that the landfill stops accepting waste, the City reports a portion of these closure and post closure costs as an operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each balance sheet date. The $15,418,260 reported as landfill closure and post closure liability at June 30, 2024, represents the cumulative amount reported to date based on the use of 69.45 percent of the total estimated capacity of the landfill including final covering. The City will recognize the remaining estimated costs of closure and post closure care of $6,782,825 as the remaining estimated capacity is filled. These amounts are based on what it would cost to perform closure and post closure activities in 2024 dollars. The City expects to close the landfill in the year 204 2. Actual costs may differ due to inflation, changes in technology or changes in regulations.
The City is required by state and federal laws and regulations to maintain adequate funds to provide financial assurance for closure and post closure costs through one of a combination of alternative mechanisms. For closure costs, the City has established an enterprise fund mechanism with a separate fund, the California Street Landfill Closure fund, that is included within the Disposal Enterprise Fund. For post closure costs, the City has entered into a Pledge of Revenue Agreement with the California Integrated Waste Manage ment Board. The City is in compliance with these requirements. At June 30, 2024, $12,595,507 is held for landf ill closure. The City expects that future inflation costs will be paid from future annual operating revenues in the enterprise fund. Post cl osure costs are agreed to be covered by revenue from solid waste customer billings which is deposited directly into the Disposal enterprise fund.

Discount Rate
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account, bot h short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pe nsion fund cash flows. Such cash flows were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the l ong-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach.
Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as th e one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate ca lculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.
The table below reflects long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The ra te of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. These geometric rates of return are net of administrative expenses.

1 An expected inflation of 2.00% was used for this period. 2 An expected inflation of 2.92% was used for this period.
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90% for the plan . To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate.
Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets. Therefore, the current 6.90% discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary. The long term expected discount rate of 6.90% is applied to all plans in the Public Empl oyees Retirement Fund (PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called “GASB Crossover T esting Report” that can be obtained from the CalPERS website under the GASB 68 Section.

For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City recognized pension expense in the amount of $9,517,574 for the miscellaneous plans.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized over 5-years straight line. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service liv es of all members that are provided w ith benefits (active, inactive and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.
The Expected Average Remaining Service Lifetime (“EAR SL”) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired) in the risk pool. The EARSL for the Miscellaneous Plan for the 2022-23 measurement period is 3.1 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 4,006 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 1,287 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired).

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Th e total plan contributions are determined through the CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. For public agency cost-sharing plans covered by the Safety risk pools, the Plan’s actuarially determined rate is based on the estimated amount necessary to pay the Plan’s allocated share of the risk pool’s costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability.
The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, employer contributions made for the Safety Cost-sharing Plan was as follows:
Safety Plans
Contributions - employer 11,753,041$
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability.
The net pension liability of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2023, and the total pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022 rolled forward to June 30, 2023 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined.
As of June 30, 2024, the City reported net pension liability for its proportionate shares of the net pension liability of the Safety Plan as follows:
Plan Total Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Plan Net Pension
L iability Position L iability/(Asset)
Balance at: 6/30/22 (Valuation date) 324,559,447$ 223,139,182 $ 101,420,265 Balance at: 6/30/23 (Measurement date) 339,316,329 230,662,382 108,653,947 Net Changes during 2022-2023 14,756,882 7,523,200 7,233,682 Increase (Decrease)
The following is the approach established by the plan actuary to allocate the net pension liability and pension expense to the individual employers within the risk pool.
(1) In determining a cost-sharing plan’s proportionate share, total amounts of liabilities and assets are first calculated for the risk pool as a whole on the valuation date (June 30, 2022). The risk pool’s fiduciary net position (“FNP”) subtracted from its total pension liability (“TPL”) determines the net pension liability (“NPL”) at the valuation date.

(2) Using standard actuarial roll forward methods, the risk pool TPL is then computed at the measurement date (June 30, 2023). Risk pool FNP at the measurement date is then subtracted from this number to compute the NPL for the risk pool at the measurement date. For purposes of FNP in this step and any later reference thereto, the risk pool’s FNP at the measurement date denotes th e aggregate risk pool’s FNP at June 30, 2022 less the sum of all additional side fund (or unfunded liability ) contributions made by all employers during the measurement period (2022-23).
(3) The individual plan’s TPL, FNP and NPL are also calculated at the valuation date.
(4) Two ratios are created by dividing the plan’s individual TPL and FNP as of the valuation date from (3) by the amounts in step (1), the risk pool’s total TPL and FNP, respectively.
(5) The plan’s TPL as of the Measurement Date is equal to the risk pool TPL generated in (2) multiplied by the TPL ratio generated in (4). The plan’s FNP as of the Me asurement Date is equal to the FNP generated in (2) multiplied by the FNP ratio generated in (4) plus any additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by the employer on behalf of the plan during the measurement period.
(6) The plan’s NPL at the Measurement Date is the difference between the TPL and FNP calculated in (5).
The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for the Safety Plan as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:
Proportion June 30, 2022 1.47594%
Proportion June 30, 2023 1.45358%
Change - Increase (Decrease) -0.02236%
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City recognized pension credit in the amount of $294,073 for the Safety Plan.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized over 5-years straight line. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service liv es of all members that are provided w ith benefits (active, inactive and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.
The EARSL for PERF C for the measurement date ending June 30, 2023 is 3.8 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 600,538 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 160,073 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired) in PERF C. Inactive employees and retirees have remaining service lifetimes equa l to 0. Total future service is b ased on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event other than receiving a cash refund.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets. Theref ore, the current 6.90% discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary. The long term expected discount rate of 6.90% is applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called “GASB Crossover Testing Report” that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under the GASB 68 section.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expect ed future real rates of return (exp ected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, staff took into account both short-term a nd long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Such cash flows we re developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.

Plan Description
The City’s administers a defined benefit OPEB plan (Plan), which provides medical insurance benefits to eligible retirees and their spouses in accordance with applicab le Memoranda of Understanding and the California Government Code to all employees who retire from the City. The Plan is an agent single-employer defined benefit OPEB plan administered by the City and is governed by the City Council. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of Statement 75.
City’s Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established, and may be amended, by City Council.
The contribution required to be made under City Council and labor agreement requirements is based on a pay-as- you go basis (i.e., as medical insurance premiums become due). The City allows retirees to participate in the same medical plan as active employees at the same premium rates. Because the rate is a “blended rate”, payments for the active employees include an implied subsidy of what would normally be a higher rate for retirees if the retirees were in a stand-alone health plan.
GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions, requires governments to account for other post-employment benefits (OPEB) on an accrual basis, rather than a pay-as-you-go basis. The effect is the recognition of an actuarially determined expense when a future retiree earns their post-employment benefits, rather than when they use their post-employment benefits.

Note 13 – Risk Management
A. Coverage
On June 30, 2024, and throughout 2023-2024, the City was self-insured for the first $1,000,000 per occurrence for commercial general liability and auto mobile liability. The City purchased ex cess liability insurance to provide additional coverage of $10,000,000 per occurrence with a $10,000,000 aggregate. The City also purchased airport liability insurance including commercial general liability, pe rsonal & advertising injury, products completed, and hanger keepers limit in a single limit liability amount of $10,000,000 per occurrence. For workers’ compensation and employer's liability, the City was self-insured for $1,000,000 per occurrence with excess coverage of $25,000,000 for worker's compensation per occurrence with a $25,000,000 aggregate, and $1,000,000 for employer's liability per occurrence.
B. Claims Activity
At June 30, 2024, $4,400,552 and $11,032,921 have been accrued for general liability and workers’ compensation claims, respectively. All funds of the City participate in the worker's compensation program and make payments to the Workers’ Compensation Internal Service Fund based on estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims. The Liability Insurance Internal Service Fund receives an annual operating transfer from the General Fund to cover operating costs in cluding payment of claims. The liab ility for unpaid claims for general liability and workers’ compensation is discounted to reflect anticipated future investment earnings, assuming a five percent interest rate. Settled claims have not exceeded the commercial coverage in the past three years.
The accruals indicated above represent estimates of amounts to be paid for reported claims and incurred but not reported claims based upon past experience, modified fo r current trends and information. While the ultimate amounts of losses incurred through June 30, 2024, are dependent on future developments, based upon information provided from the City Attorney, outside counsel and others involved with the administration of the programs, the City's management believes that the aggregate accrual is adequate to cover such losses.

Note 17 – Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust for Assets of Former Redevelopment
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (“the Bill”) that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of Ca lifornia. This action impacted the reporting entity of the City of Redlands that previously ha d reported a redevelopment agency within the reporting entity of the City as a blended component unit.
The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the city or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. On November 1, 2011, th e City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for the former redevelopment agency in accordance with the Bill.

Note 17 – Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust for Assets of Former Redevelopment (Continued)
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subj ect to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligati ons in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).
In future fiscal years, succ essor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable oblig ations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
The Bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually committed to a third pa rty for the expenditure or en cumbrance of those assets, the State Controller is required to order the available assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill.
In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011) all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as a legal entity as of February 1, 2012. After the date of dissolution, the assets and activities of the dissolved redevelopment agency are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City.
In order for the Successor Agency to dissolve, HSC Section 34187(b) requires the following:
a. All enforceable obligations have been retired or paid off; b. All real property has been disposed of pursuant to HSC Section 34181 or 34191.4; and, c. All outstanding litigation has been resolved
With all enforceable obligations paid in full, all land disposed of, and all liti gation settled, there is no need for the Agency to continue to exist and the cr iteria to proceed with formally dissolving has been met. On June 10, 2024, the Countywide Oversight Board approved a resolution to formally dissolve the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Redlands. July 2, 2024, the state Department of Finance acknowledged the end of the Agency's existence. Final dissolution of the Su ccessor Agency of the Former Redevelopmen t Agency of the City of Redlands took place in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Note 18 ‒ Tax Abatements – Economic Development Incentives
GASB Statement No. 77, Tax Abatement Disclosures, defines tax abatements as resulting from an agreement between a government and an individual or entity in which the govern ment promises to forgo tax revenues and the individual or entity promises to subsequently take a specific action that contributes to the economic development or otherwise benefits the government or its citizens. According to GASB No. 77, the substance of these agreements meet the definition of “tax abatements” as the revenues received were not available for general municipal services purposes, but rather used to effectively reduce the net tax liability of certain taxpayers per the conditions of an agreement.
The City offers an economic development incentive program to the entities that propose to locate or expand already established businesses within the City. This incentive program is expected to provide a stimulus to the City’s economy, increase the tax base and create jobs. Each of the agreements entered into by the City, provides for a rebate of taxes paid to the City according to formulas contained in the agreements. These limited term agreements provide for a sharing of the taxes (percentage rebates) above certain amounts with a maximum rebate not to ex ceed the cost of a business’ improvements and/or development impact fees. The City generally expects to receive increased revenue as a result of these agreements. These incentive agreements require approval by the City Council.

The City currently has two of these agre ements in effect. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, under this program the City had abatements of sales tax totaling $107,527. Pursuant to the Sales and Use Tax law (chapter 8 – Article 1 – section 7056), in order to protect the confidential information of sales taxes collected and abatements provided to each of the specific agencies, the City has presented the aggregate amount abated during the current fiscal year.
Note 19 ‒ Endowments
Simonds Endowment
The amount of net appreciation available for expenditure in the Simonds Endowment Fund is $29,272. This available amount is reflected as fund balance. The endowment corpus is $10,000 and is reflected as nonspendable fund balance.
In California, Endowments are subject to the requirements of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA), specifically Cal. Probate Code §18504. State law governing the City’s ability to spend the net appreciation provides that the City may appropriate “so much of an endowment fund as the institution determines is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes, and duration for which the endowment fund is established”. The City’s policy for authorizing and spending the investment income is governed by City Council aut horization and appropriation authority, as well as the agreement of Endowment of the Si monds Parkway, dated December 14, 1985. Provisions of that agreement include, among other things, that interest generated on a per annum basis may be expended for providing maintenance, materials, and equipment solely at the Simonds Parkway.
Pauline Stancliff Memorial Trust
The amount of net appreciation available for expenditure in the Pauline Stancliff Memorial Trust Fund is $3,013. This available amount is reflected as fund balance. The endowment corpus is $20,200 and is reflected as nonspendable fund balance. In California, Endowments are subject to th e requirements of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA), specifically Cal. Probate Code §18504. State law governing the City’s ability to spend the net appreciation provides that the City may appr opriate “so much of an endowment fund as the institution determines is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes, and duration for which the endowment fund is established”. The City’s policy for authorizing and spending the investment income is governed by City Council authorization and appropriation authority, as well as a minute motion on July 26, 2012 establishing a memorial trust fund in the name of Pauline Stancliff to be used for creating programs which fo cus on the goal of improving the quality of life for seniors who attend the Joslyn Senior Center.
Note 20 ‒ Changes to or within the Financial Reporting Entity

A. Litigation
The City is currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, it is mana gement’s opinion that the ultimate li abilities, if any, resulting from such claims and proceedings will not materially affect the financial position of the City.
B. Sales Tax – Donut Hole
In 1998, the voters of California approved Proposition No. 11 which amended Article XIII, Section 29 of the California Constitution to allow cities and counties to ente r into contracts to apportion sales and use tax revenue, by ordinance or resolution, and upon approval by a two-thir ds vote of the legislative bodies of the parties to the contract. The City has provided in its contract with the County of San Bernardino that the benefit of receiving the sales and use tax revenue generated by businesses located in the unincorporated area of the Donut Hole, in exchange for the City's provision of municipal services, will terminate on December 31, 2003, unless an extension of the term of the contract beyond December 31, 2003, is consented to by a majority vote of the qualified voters of the City. The term has been extended beyond December 31, 2003, under the Ordinance No. 2550. The County of San Bernardino and the City apportion the sales and use tax revenue generated by businesses located in the Donut Hole generally on the basis of ninety percent (90 percent) of such sales and use tax revenue being provided to the City and ten percent (10 percent) of such sales and use tax revenue being provided to the County.
C. Federal and State Grants
The City participates in various federal grant programs, the principal of which are subject to program compliance audits pursuant to the Single Audit act as amended. Acco rdingly, the City’s compliance with applicable grant requirements will be established at a future date. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time, alt hough the City anticipates such amounts, if any, will be immaterial.
D. Contractual Commitments
The City has capital contractual commitments for which funds have been encumbered as of June 30, 2024.
Encumbrances related to capital projects are funded throug h the current year appropriated budget, which carries over to the following year.
The following contractual construction commitments existed at June 30, 2024:

Budgetary Information
Budgets are legally adopted and formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all governmental fund types. The budget is pr epared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. From the effective date of the budget, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures become appropriations to the various City departments.
The City Council may amend the budget only during a regular meeting, providing that sufficient monies are available and that expenditures of proceeds of taxes will not be increased beyond the cons titutional appropriation limit as imposed by Article XIIIB of the State Constitution.
The City's formal budgetary process begins at the operating program level. Departmental budgets are comprised of the various operating program budgets. Operating programs do not cross departmental lines. Individual fund budgets consist of the departmental budgets; departmental budgets may cross fund lines.
Individual fund budgets are, in all cases where appropria tions are required, the same as the appropriation amounts. In the case of the Governmental Fund types, unexpended budgeted amounts, except for amounts relating to capital projects, lapse at the end of the budget year. Spending control (legal level) for most funds is established by the amount of expenditures budgeted at the departmental and function levels. Accordingl y, the General Fund expenditures are displayed in the supplementary schedules at the department level and the Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital Projects, and Permanent Funds expenditures are displayed at the function level. Management control is exercised at the line item level in each operating program. Management can transfer budgeted amounts within operating programs, departments or funds, provided that such transfers do not increase the overall budget. Appropriations that increase the budget require City Council approval.
