SUBMITTED:
APPROVAL OF EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT FOR COUNCILMEMBER FAST Paul A. Melikian, Assistant City Manager~
APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba, City Manager ~
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council approve a mileage expense reimbursement request from Councilmember Fast for miles driven for official City business.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A mileage reimbursement was submitted on January 8, 2025, for miles driven for official City business.
Upon review, several of the dates fall outside of the 30-calendar day submission requirement as set forth in Section 5 of the Expense Reimbursement and Travel/Conference Policy for Elected and Appointed Legislative Body Officials that was adopted in December 2018. The dates range from November 21, 2024 to December 13, 2024. Out of the 184 miles driven for City business during this period, 58 miles fall outside of the 30-day requirement, representing $38.86 at the 2024 IRS mileage rate of $0.67 per mile.
Section 5 of the policy states: "Officials must submit their expense reports within thirty (30) calendar days of an expense being incurred, accompanied by receipts documenting each expense. Restaurant receipts, in addition to any credit card receipts, are also part of the necessary documentation. Any expenses submitted after 30 days of being incurred will be required to be approved by a majority of the City Council at a regularly scheduled Council meeting. Expenses not approved by the majority of Council shall be borne by the official who incurred the expense. "
FISCAL IMPACT
No new appropriations are needed for this reimbursement as mileage reimbursements for elected officials are included in the annual City budget.

TITLE: RATIFICATION OF A SOFTWARE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH IWORQ SYSTEMS, INC. FOR AN ONLINE CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT & REQUEST
PLATFORM
SUBMITTED:
APPROVED:
Paul A. Melikian, Assistant City Manager ~
Nicole R. Zieba, City Manager ~
RECOMMENDATION
Approve and ratify a three-year Services Agreement with iWorQ Systems, Inc. (iWorQ) for a Citizen Engagement & Request platform to allow Reedley residents, business owners, and contractors a convenient way to ask questions, request information, or report issues to city staff. The new platform is expected to be operational by March and will be widely communicated to the public.
BACKGROUND
The City continually looks for ways to receive concerns, complaints and information from the public.
Many public agencies have gone to an online service request system that allows people to ask questions and report specific issues, even offering the capability for a resident to drop a pin on a map and/or upload a picture from their smartphone. These systems allow the agency to track the requests through to completion and communicate status to the requester. The link to submit requests is well advertised on the agency website, social media feeds, and newsletters.
The City has worked with iWorQ software since 2019, with departments currently using the iWorQ software platform to track and manage activities such as: encroachment permits, building permits, plan checks, automated solar permitting, code enforcement matters, and public works and facilities work orders. iWorQ's Citizen Engagement & Request software would fully integrate with the City's existing use of the system to create and track work orders. For example, if a resident observes a pothole in the street, they can take a picture of it, open the link and quickly report it. Once received , staff will see the request and can convert the issue to a work order for maintenance staff to address.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual cost of $9,000 and one-time implementation fee of $500 will be paid proportionately from multiple funding sources that the city provides services from . Supporting appropriations for this service will be included on the budget amendment that accompanies the mid-year budget review in January 2025. Ratification is requested of the attached services agreement due to the special pricing the city received on the software expired on December 31 , 2024.

TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION 2025-004 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REEDLEY
ADOPTING THE ANNUAL CITY STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY SUBMITTED: Paul A. Melikian, Assistant City Manager ~
APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 2025-004 approving the annual Statement of Investment Policy, last reviewed and adopted by the City Council on January 23, 2024.
BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 53646(a) requires that a public entity's investment policy be reviewed annually by the governing body or an investment committee. The City's present Investment Policy, Attachment "A", was last reviewed in January 2024. An investment policy should identify the parameters of the investment function with the primary objectives being safety, liquidity and yield, in that order. These features are satisfied by the City's present policy, including a section on periodic reporting of portfolio performance. After reviewing the existing policy, staff has no recommended changes. The last revision was made in 2023, when the City Council approved the addition of "Shares of beneficial interest issued by a Joint Powers Authority" and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) as permissible investment options for idle City funds. This investment vehicle has proved to be tremendously successful to take advantage of the favorable interest rate environment.
Portfolio Monitoring & Compliance
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that an agency's investment policy explicitly require periodic reporting. Consistent with GFOA best practices, the Administrative Services Department will continue to prepare quarterly summary investment reports within 45 days after the close of each quarter, with an Annual Investment Report prepared and filed within 60 days of year end. Quarterly and annual reports have been, and will continue to be, presented to City Council as a 'Receive, Review and File' item. The City's Assistant City Manager position is identified in the attached resolution as authorized to invest funds and otherwise do all things necessary to implement the Statement of Investment Policy.
All financial investment instruments are constantly monitored and assessed for safety, liquidity and yield . The City's idle funds have historically been in principal safe investments that protect its pooled cash, such as money market accounts, rolling Certificates of Deposit through Multi-Bank Securities in various FDIC insured accounts, and the aforementioned California Asset Management Program. Adoption of this annual policy will allow staff to continue to ensure continued compliance, safety of principal, sufficient portfolio liquidity, and an acceptable yield for the City's idle cash balances.

1. Exhibit A - City of Reedley Statement of Investment Policy Exhibit A
CITY OF REEDLEY
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
PURPOSE
This Statement is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's temporary idle cash, and outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system.
The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled cash.
OBJECTIVE
The City's cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City attempts to obtain the highest yield obtainable as long as the investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.
POLICY
The City of Reedley operates its temporary pooled idle cash investments under the Uniform Prudent Investor Act (Act) as generally described in California Probate Code section 16045, et. seq. The Act states, in essence, that "in investing ... property for the benefit of another, a trustee shall exercise the judgment and care, under the circumstances then prevailing, which men of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs ... ". This affords the City a broad spectrum of investment opportunities as long as the investment is deemed prudent and is allowable under current legislation of the State of California. Government Code (Section 53601) restricts the City from purchasing investment securities with a maturity length greater than five years unless prior legislative approval is given.
Investments may be made in the following media and as specifically outlined under Government Code Section 53601:
• U.S. Treasury issues
• Federal Agency issues
• Supranational Securities as identified & defined by AB 1933 (effective January 1, 2015) • Bonds, Notes
• Commercial Paper
• Bankers Acceptances
• Certificates of Deposits
• Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements • Local Agency Invest Fund Demand Deposits (State Pool) • Passbook Savings Account Demand Deposits
• Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Pooled Investment Fund • Shares of beneficial interest issued by a Joint Powers Authority • California Asset Management Program
Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:
1 .
2. Safety. The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest or a combination of these amounts. The City only operates in those investments that are considered very safe.
Liquidity. This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality especially when the need for unexpected funds occurs occasionally.
3. Yield. Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide, and sometimes is described as the rate of return.
Safekeeping. Securities purchased from brokers/dealers shall be held in third party safekeeping by the trust department of the local agency's bank or other designated third-party trust, in local agency's name and control, whenever possible.
Investment Objective. The cash management system of the City of Reedley is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus insuring the investment of monies to the fullest extent possible. Attempts to obtain highest interest yields possible as long as investments meet the criteria required for safety and liquidity. The City strives to maintain the level of investment of all idle funds as near 100% as possible, through daily and projected cash flow determinations. Idle cash management and investment transactions are the responsibility of the City Treasurer/Finance Officer (Assistant City Manager).
Prudence. As it pertains to its pooled cash investments, the City adheres to the guidance provided by the "prudent investor standard," as set forth in Government Code section 53600.3, which specifically addresses public investing, as follows:
"Except as provided in subdivision (a) of Section 27000.3, all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.
Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law".
The basic premise underlying the City's investment philosophy is, and will continue to be, to insure that money is always safe and available when needed.
Public Trust. All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust.
Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. In a diversified portfolio it must be recognized that occasional measured losses are inevitable, and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio investment return, provided that adequate diversification has been implemented.
Ethics and Conflicts of Interest. Employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activities that create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or impairs their ability to make impartial investment decisions.
Reporting. Consistent with industry best practices, the City Treasurer/Finance Officer (Assistant City Manager) will prepare quarterly summary investment reports within 45 days after the close of each quarter, with an Annual Investment Report prepared and filed within 60 days of year end. Quarterly and annual reports will be presented to City Council as a Receive, Review and File item.

BOARD OF THE KINGS RIVER EAST GROUNDWATER SERVICES
AGENCY FOR THE FOUR-YEAR TERM BEGINNING FEBRUARY 1, 2025 APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba 1A ~

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-005, a Resolution of the City Council nominating and accepting the role of City Representative on the Board of the Kings River East Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA), and nominating the City of Dinuba as the Alternate City Representative on the Board of the GSA.
BACKGROUND
The Sustainable Groundwater Act (SGMA) was signed into law by Governor Brown. In the following years, each groundwater basin within the State of California was required to form Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) and establish Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) that address issues of declining groundwater, degradation of groundwater quality, land subsidence due to over pumping of groundwater aquifers, saltwater intrusion into groundwater aquifers, and a host of other issues impacting groundwater quantity and quality.
Under the guidance and administration of Alta Irrigation District (AID), the City of Reedley and 16 other entities entered into a partnership through formal Memorandum of Understanding, and then subsequent legislation, SB 37, to form the Kings River East Groundwater Sustainability Agency. The GSA Bylaws, as well as SB 37, call for the three cities within the GSA, Reedley, Dinuba, and Orange Cove, to select one Representative and one Alternate to serve on the Board of the GSA. Because Orange Cove lies within the GSA boundary, it is included in the GSA. However, it is important to note that Orange Cove
currently does not use or pump any groundwater from the basin. That city's water supply is from the Friant-Kern Canal. As such, over the course of the past years, the cities of Dinuba and Reedley have shared the roles of City Representative and Alternate because both of these cities do pump and use groundwater from the basin.
The four-year terms of City Representative and Alternate on the Board are expiring at the end of January, 2025. The attached Resolution calls for Reedley to retain the seat as City Representative and Dinuba as Alternate for the 2025-2029 term.
FISCAL IMPACT

TITLE: RECEIVE, REVIEW, AND FILE THE QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT FOR SECOND QUARTER ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-25 SUBMITTED: Paul A. Melikian, Assistant City Manager
APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive, review, and file the Quarterly Investment Report for 2nd Quarter Fiscal Year 2024-25, ending December 31, 2024, as required by the City's Investment Policy last adopted on January 23, 2024. No action is required other than to receive, review, and file the report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Portfolio earnings, net of fees, for 2nd quarter ending December 31, 2024 total $860,869. Prior 2nd quarter net portfolio earnings for the same 12-month period one year ago were $872,922, the result of a stable cash position and improving interest earnings. This year's Adopted Budget assumed $644,925 in interest earnings for the entire fiscal year; therefore, actual earnings are about 133% of budget after the second quarter.
Interest earnings are expected to be strong in the interim; however, the City has a large number of capital projects underway and in the planning process, therefore, the treasury pool amount and corresponding interest earnings will be reduced over time. In addition, on December 18th the Federal Reserve ('Fed') announced its third consecutive interest rate cut of 2024, reducing its benchmark rate by 0.25 percentage points amid cooling, but persistent, inflation. The Fed lowered the federal funds rate - the interest rate banks charge each other for short-term loans - to a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, down from its previous target range of 4.5% to 4.75%. The Fed has now trimmed rates by 1 percentage point since September; however, the central bank also projected that it will loosen rates less in 2025 than previously expected. As a result, staff expects to continue earning strong interest earnings on idle public funds , though not quite at the same level as last year's robust performance.
The attached investment/pooled cash report shows additional detail for cash balances by City fund . The 'treasury pool' for the City, representing the cumulative balance of all funds, totals $31,045,234 as of December 31, 2024, similar to cash on hand of $30,955,198 from last quarter ending September 30, 2024.
The treasury pool from the same 12-month period one year ago was $29,152,120 as of December 31, 2023. The cash balances in individual City funds are at a point in time only, and do not reflect pending receivable or payable amounts.
BACKGROUND
All financial investment instruments are constantly monitored and assessed for safety, liquidity, and yield , in that order. It is important to note that the City's principal value of these investments is always secure, and the values that are being reported are the market values at a specific point in time. All investments in the portfolio are compliant with the City's current Investment Policy, and staff does not anticipate any issues regarding the City's ability to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months. (Government Code section 53646)
On January 23, 2024 the City Council approved the annual statement of investment policy. The policy includes a self-imposed, 'best practice' reporting requirement to implement a Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommendation that an agency's investment policy explicitly require periodic reporting. The attached Pooled Cash Report for the end of 2nd quarter fiscal year 2024-25 shows cash balances/market value and interest earnings for every cash account and investment vehicle as of December 31, 2024. It is important to note that the pooled cash report also includes restricted funds such as American Rescue Plan Act funds, deposits in trust, funds held for groundwater treatment, and RDA Successor Agency funds. Full account statements for all accounts are on file with the Administrative Services Department and available for inspection at any time.
Cash balances are pooled for investment and banking purposes, as it is not practical to have separate investment accounts for each City fund. Interest earnings are apportioned to each City fund based upon the percentage that a particular fund balance makes up of the total. For instance, if the City's General Fund balance was 10% of the total cash balances of the City, it would be credited with 10% of the investment interest earnings for the period.

TITLE: RECEIVE, REVIEW, & FILE 2023-24 AUDITED CITY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUBMITTED:
APPROVED: Nicole R. Zieba, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive, review and file the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has received an "Unmodified" audit report for its financial statements for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, with no findings. An audit report is said to be unmodified when the Auditor concludes that the Financial Statements give a true and fair view in accordance with the financial reporting framework used for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements. An Auditor gives a 'Clean' opinion or Unmodified Report when they do not have any significant reservation in respect of matters contained in the Financial Statements.
This type of report is issued by an auditor when the financial statements presented are free of material misstatements and are represented fairly in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which in other words means that the entities' financial condition, position, and operations are fairly presented in the financial statements. It is the best type of report an auditee may receive from an external auditor.
An Unmodified Report indicates the following:
• The Financial Statements have been prepared using the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles which have been consistently applied;
• The Financial Statements comply with relevant statutory requirements and regulations; • There is adequate disclosure of all material matters relevant to the proper presentation of the financial information subject to statutory requirements, where applicable; • Any changes in the accounting principles or in the method of their application and the effects thereof have been properly determined and disclosed in the Financial Statements.

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Reedley for the year ended June 30, 2024. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and, if applicable, Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated October 24, 2019. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies have not changed during 2024. We noted no transactions entered into by City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City's financial statements were:
• Management has determined the economic useful lives of fixed assets based on past history of similar types of assets, future plans as to their use, and other factors that impact their economic value to the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used by management in computing depreciation expense and believe that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
• Management's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an evaluation of collectability primarily focused on past due accounts. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the allowance for doubtful accounts in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements as a whole. 901 "N" STREET, SUITE 104 FIREBAUGH, CALIFORNIA 93622 PHONE 559.659.3 0 4 5 FAX 559.659 .0615 • Management's estimate of the net pension liability and related deferrals is based on actuarial valuations which include significant assumptions regarding discount rate, inflation, payroll growth, projected salary increases and investment rate of return. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the liability and related deferrals in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management m performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstaten:zents
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit's financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included m the management representation letter dated January 2, 2025.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to City of Reedley's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
2 Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as City of Reedley' s auditors.
However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Budgetary Comparison Schedules, Schedule of Changes in the City's Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability, and Schedule of Contributions which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
Restriction on Use
This information is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of City of Reedley and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Opinions
Bryant L.Jolley, C.P.A.
Ryan P. Jolley C.P.A.
Darryl L. Smith C.P.A.
Luis A. Perez C.P.A.
Lan T. Kimoto
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 Reedley (the "City"), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the 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, the 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 Auditor's 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.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. 901 "N" STREET, SUITE 104 FIREBAUGH, CALIFORNIA 93622 PHONE 559.659 .3045 In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to 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
Management has omitted the management's discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental 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. Our opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by this missing information.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information on pages 52-54, the schedule of changes in the City's Net OPEB liability and related ratios on page 55, the schedule of the City's proportionate share of net pension liability on page 56, and the schedule of contributions on page 57, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such inf01mation is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential pa1i 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.
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 accompanying combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, the schedule of revenue available for debt service, and schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by Title 2 U.S.
Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, 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 nonmajor fund financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. 2 Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 2, 2025, on our consideration of the 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 the 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 the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. 3 CITY OF REEDLEY

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the City of Reedley (the City) have been prepared in conformity with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applicable to governmental entities. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
These financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the government's operations and data from these units is combined with data of the primary government. Each blended component unit has a June 30 fiscal year end. There are no discretely presented component units included in these financial statements. The following sections further describe the significant accounting policies of the City.
Reporting Entity
The City of Reedley, State of California (the "City"), was incorporated on February 18, 1913. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The City's major operations include public safety (police and fire); highways and streets; water, sewer and refuse collection: parks and recreation; building inspection; airport; public improvements; planning and zoning and general administrative services.
The Reedley Public Financing Authority (the "Authority") was created by a Joint Exercise of Powers between the City and the Agency on November 23, 1993. An Agreement was entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Marks Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985, Articles 1, 2 and 4, Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the California Government Code (the IPA Law"). The Authority, which is governed by a commission consisting of the members of the City Council, was created for the purpose of assisting the financing of refinancing of the Authority's project areas. Under the IPA Law, the Authority has the power to purchase bonds issued by any local agency at public or negotiated sale and may sell such bonds to public or private purchasers at public negotiated sale.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
Government-Wide Financial Statements -The Government-Wide Financial Statements (the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position) report information of all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the City and between the City and its component unit.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and inter-governmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely significantly on fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include 1) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues. 18 CITY OF REEDLEY

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Net position is restricted when constraints placed on them are either externally imposed or are imposed by constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Internally imposed designations of resources are not presented as restricted net position. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, generally, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements - The Governmental Fund Financial Statements provide information about the City's funds, including fiduciary funds and the blended component unit. Separate statements for each fund category - governmental, proprietary and fiduciary - are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are separately aggregated and reported as non-major funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used for all financial resources except those required legally, or by sound financial management to be accounted for in another fund. Generally, the General Fund is used to account for those traditional governmental services of the City, such as police and fire protection, planning and general administrative services.
Development Impact Fees Capital Project Fund - The Development Impact Fees Capital Project Fund was established to account for monies received from impact fees and spending of those funds.
Street Projects Special Revenue Fund-The Street Projects Special Revenue Fund is used to account for the monies received from the State Controller's Office (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation), California Department of Transportation (federal grants), and Fresno County Transportation Authority (Measure C) which are to be used for the streets related projects.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Water Fund-The Water Fund accounts for the operation and maintenance of the City's water treatment and water transmission and distribution systems.
Sewer Fund- The Sewer Fund accounts for the operation and maintenance of the City's sewer system.
The City reports the following additional fund types:
Internal Service Fund - The Internal Service Fund accounts for fleet management and computer services provided to other departments or agencies of the government, on a cost reimbursement basis.
Custodial Funds - The Custodial Funds account for assets held by the City as an agent for various local governments or other entities. These funds are custodial in nature ( assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations.
Private-Purpose Trust Funds - The Private-Purpose Trust Fund accounts for assets held by the City as trnstee for the Successor Agency.
Basis of Accounting
The Government-Wide and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the City gives ( or receives) value without directly receiving ( or giving) equal value in exchange, include property and sales taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied.
Revenues from sales tax are recognized when the underlying transactions take place. Revenues from grants, entitlements and donations are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligible requirements have been satisfied.
Governmental Funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrnal basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available.
Property and sales taxes, interest, certain state and federal grants and charges for services are accrued when their receipt occurs within sixty days after the end of the accounting period so as to be both measurable and available.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Basis of Accounting (Continued)
Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a Proprietary Fund's principal ongoing operations. Revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating.
Financial Statement Amounts
Cash and Investments - Cash and investments represent the City's cash bank accounts including but not limited to certificates of deposit, money market funds and cash management pools for reporting purposes in the Statement of Cash Flows. Additionally, investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased are included as cash equivalents in the Statement of Cash Flows.
The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds. Interest earnings as a result of this pooling are distributed to the appropriate funds based on month end cash balances in each fund.
Investments of the pool include only those investments authorized by the California Government Code such as, United States Treasury securities, agencies guaranteed by the United States Government, registered state warrants, and other investments. Investments primarily consist of deposits in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund. Investments are stated at cost or amortized cost.
Inventories - Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for the City's use and are carried at cost using the first-in, first-out method.
Accounts Receivable - Billed but unpaid services provided to individuals or non-governmental entities are recorded as accounts receivable. The Proprietary Funds include a year-end accrual for services through June 30, 2024, which have not yet been billed.
Fresno County is responsible for the assessment, collection and apportionment of property taxes for all taxing jurisdictions. Secured and unsecured property taxes are levied on January 1 of the preceding fiscal year. Secured property taxes are due in two installments, on November 1 and March 1, and become a lien on those dates. They become delinquent on December 10 and April 10, respectively. Collection of delinquent accounts is the responsibility of the County, which retains all penalties collected. Property taxes are accounted for in the General Fund. Property tax revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available to finance current liabilities. The City considers property taxes as available if they are collected within 60 days after year end. Property tax on the unsecured roll are due on July 1 and become delinquent if unpaid on August 31. However, unsecured property taxes are not susceptible to year end accrual. 21 CITY OF REEDLEY

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The City is permitted by Article XIIIA of the State of California Constitution (known as Proposition 13) to levy a maximum tax of $1.00 per$ 100 of full cash value.
Interfund Receivables/Payables - Items classified as interfund receivable/payable represent short-term lending/borrowing transactions between funds. This classification also includes the current portion of an advance to or from another fund.
Advances To/From Other Funds - This classification represents non-current portions of any long-term lending/borrowing transactions between funds. This amount will be equally offset by a reserve of fund balance which indicates that it does not represent available financial resources and therefore, is not available for appropriation. The current portion of any interfund long-tenn loan (advance) is included as an interfund receivable/payable.
Capital Assets - Capital outlays are recorded as expenditures of the General, Special Revenue, and Capital Projects Funds and as assets in the Government-Wide Financial Statements to the extent the City's capitalization threshold are met.
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets ( e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
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. Betterments and major improvements which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend useful lives are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Depreciable asset Years
Buildings 10-40
Improvements 10-40
Machinery and equipment 3-20
Utility system 5-50
Infrastructure 15-50

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Compensated Absences - It is the City's policy to permit all employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and compensatory time benefits. Those employees on shift work schedules may also accumulate hours for holiday time benefits.
Vested or accumulated vacation, holiday and any compensation time that is expected to be paid with expendable available financial resources is reported as expenditure in the fund financial statements of the Governmental Fund that will pay for it. Amounts not expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources are reported in the Government-Wide Financial Statements.
Vested leave of Proprietary Funds are recorded as an expense and liability as the benefits accme.
Unearned Revenue - Unearned revenue is that for which asset recognition criteria have been met, but for which revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The City typically records unearned revenue related to uncollected outstanding, performing loans and intergovernmental revenues (primary grants and subventions) received but not earned (qualifying expenditures not yet incurred).
Long-Term Obligations - In the Government-Wide Financial Statements, and Proprietary Fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or Proprietary Fund Type Statement of Net Position. Debt principal payments of both government and business-type activities are reported as decreases in the balance of the liability on the Statement of Net Position. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method.
Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, however, debt principal payments of Governmental Funds are recognized as expenditures when paid. Governmental Fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Non-Current Governmental Assets/Liabilities - GASB Statement No. 34 eliminates the presentation of account groups, but provides for these records to be maintained and incorporates the information into the Governmental Activities column in the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position.
Pension Plan - All full-time City employees are members of the State of California Public Employees' Retirement System. The City's policy is to fund all pension costs accmed; such costs to be funded are determined annually as of July 1 by the System's actuary. See note 9 for further discussion.
Bond Discount and Issuance Costs - For governmental funds, bond discounts, as well as issuance costs, are recognized during the current period. Bond proceeds are reported as other financing sources net of the applicable discount. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld form the actual net proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. For business-type funds, bond discounts, are deferred and amortized over the life, of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of applicable bond discounts. Issuance costs are expensed.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Net Position - The government-wide and business-type activities fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position are categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted and unrestricted.
• Net Investment in Capital Assets - This category groups all capital assets, including infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
• Restricted Net Position - This category presents external restrictions on net position imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. • Unrestricted Net Position - This category represents net position of the City, not restricted for any project or other purpose.
Fund Balance - In the fund financial statements, governmental fund balance is made up of the following components:
• Nonspendable fund balance typically includes inventories, prepaid items, and other items that must be maintained intact pursuant to legal or contractual requirements, such as endowments. • Restricted fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only fo,r specific purposes imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or through enabling legislations.
• Committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the City Council. The City Council has the authority to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment. • Assigned fund balance are amounts designated by the City Council for specific purposes and do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. • Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification that includes all spendable amounts in the General Fund not contained in other classifications.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted ( committed, assigned, or unassigned) fund balances are available, the City's policy is to apply restricted first. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the City's policy is to apply committed fund balance first, then assigned fund balance, and finally unassigned fund balance.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 - Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
California law authorizes the City to invest in obligations of the United States Treasury, agencies and instrumentalities, certificates of deposit or time deposits in banks and savings and loan associations which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
In accordance with applicable sections of the California Government Code and the Reedley Municipal Code, the City prepares and legally adopts an annual balanced budget on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the General Fund, specific Special Revenue Funds, and specific Capital Projects Funds. Budget plans are adopted for Proprietary Funds. A proposed budget is presented to the City Council during June of each year for review. The Council holds public hearings and may add to, subtract from, or change appropriations within the revenues and reserves estimated as available. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. Supplementary appropriations which alter the total expenditures of any fund, or expenditures in excess of total budgeted fund appropriations, must be approved by the City Council.
All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end to the extent they have not been expended or encumbered. 25 CITY OF REEDLEY

The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that a government can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs to valuation methodology include inputs - other than quoted prices included within Level 1 - that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. There are no investments in any one issuer that represent 5% or more of the total City investments.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit).
The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
The custodial risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government's indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as CAMP).
California Asset Management Program (CAMP)
The City is a voluntary participant in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City's investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City's pro-rata share of the fair value provided by CAMP for the entire CAMP portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by CAMP, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. As of June 30, 2024 the City had $16,226,658 in CAMP.
The California Asset Management Program, doing business as the "CAMP", is a California joint powers authority created pursuant to Title 1, Division 7, Chapter 5 of the California Government Code. As a joint powers authority, CAMP provides professionally managed pooled investment programs for Participants.
CAMP is governed by a Board of Trustees. The City is a voluntary participant in CAMP, CAMP is a investment pool that provides public agencies the opportunity to invest funds on a cooperative basis in rated pools that are managed in accordance with state law with the primary objectives of offering participants safety, daily and next-day liquidity, and optimized returns. CAMP is managed as a stable NAV pool but does not meet all the specific criteria outlined in GASB 79 paragraph 4, therefore participants report their investments in the pool at fair value, provided by CAMP. 30 CITY OF REEDLEY

The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the contributions recognized as part of the pension expense was $2,554,010.

The City's net pension liability is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of each Plan 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. The City's proportionate share of the net pension liability for the Plan as of June 30, 2023 and 2024 was as follows:

Note 7 - Pension Plan (continued)
Discount rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for PERF C was 6.9%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially dete1mined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. The long-term expected rate ofreturn on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return ( expected rate of returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and longterm market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds' asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11 + years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded 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 adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The long-term expected real rates ofreturn by asset class can be found in CalPERS' Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 . 41 CITY OF REEDLEY

Note 9 - Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows or resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and thus, will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City reports $8,160,872 in deferred outflows related to net pension liability and $973,207 in deferred outflows related to net OPEB liability. See Note 7 and Note 8 for more details.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represent an acquisition of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City reports $664,259 in deferred inflows related to net pension liability and $1,292,237 in deferred inflows related to net OPEB liability.
See Note 7 and Note 8 for more details.
Note 10 - Risk Management
The City participates with other public entities in a joint venture under a joint powers agreement which establishes the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA). The relationship between the City and CSNRMA is such that CSJVRMA is not a component unit of the City for financial reporting purposes.
The City is covered for the first $1,000,000 of each general liability claim and $500,000 of each worker's compensation claim through the CSNRMA. The City has the right to receive dividends or the obligation to pay assessments based on a formula which, among other expenses, charges the City's account for liability losses under $10,000 and workers' compensation losses under $10,000. The CSNRMA purchases excess reinsurance from $1,000,000 to $15,000,000. The CSJVRMA participates in an excess pool which provides Workers' Compensation coverage from $500,000 to $1,500,000 and purchases excess reinsurance above $1,500,000 to the statutory limit.
The CSNRMA is a consortium of 55 cities in San Joaquin Valley, California. It was established under the provisions of California Government Code Section 6500, et. seq. The CSNRMA is governed by a Board of Directors, which meets three to four times each year, consisting of one member appointed by each member city. The day-to-day business is handled by a management group employed by the CSNRMA. The financial statements ofCSNRMA can be obtained at 1831 K Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER
MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Reedley, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Reedley (the "City"), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 2, 2025.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the nonnal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements, on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. 901 "N" STREET, SUITE 104 FIREBAUGH, CALIFORNIA 93622 PHONE 559.659.3045 FAX 559.659.0615 Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR
EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Reedley, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited City of Reedley (the "City"), California's compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the 0MB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City's major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. The City's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, mies, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City's federal programs.
901 "N" STREET, SUITE 104 FIREBAUGH, CALIFORNIA 93622 PHONE 559.659.3045 FAX 559.659.0615 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City's compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. • Obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. 68 Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
