DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Parks & Landscaping Division is responsible for maintaining irrigation systems serving City parks, landscaped medians, rights-of-way, and other public spaces. These systems require routine maintenance and timely repair using irrigation components such as valves, rotors, nozzles, solenoids, fittings, adhesives, and related parts.
To support these ongoing operational needs, the City issued a Request for Quotation through the City’s BidOnline system for irrigation supplies, tools, and parts on October 29, 2025 (Attachment 1). The Request for Quotation sought unit pricing for a comprehensive list of commonly used irrigation components to be purchased on an as- needed basis (Attachment 2). A total of 133 vendors were notified.
The Request for Quotation allows the City to award by individual item, by group, or in total, and to utilize one or multiple vendors in the manner that best serves the interests of the City. Two vendors, Heritage Landscape Supply Group and Blue Angel International LLC, submitted timely and complete quotations.
Both vendors were evaluated and determined to be responsive and responsible, meeting all Request for Quotation requirements. Pricing was evaluated on a unit-cost basis by item group, consistent with the solicitation and the City’s operational purchasing practices. The evaluation determined that each vendor offers competitive pricing advantages across different categories of irrigation supplies (Attachment 3).
Based on this evaluation, City staff recommends utilizing both vendors to provide pricing flexibility, ensure material availability, and support efficient irrigation system maintenance (Attachment 4). Purchases will be made only as needed and only for materials actually ordered and received by the City. The City is not obligated to purchase any minimum quantity.

DISCUSSION:
Background
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 budget was adopted on June 24, 2024, and subsequently revised during the Mid-Year Budget Review on May 6, 2025. Serving as the City of AGENDA
REPORT
836
March 3, 2026
Richmond’s financial blueprint, the budget established projected revenues and planned expenditures for the fiscal year while aligning with City Council Goals and Priorities.
Overview of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024–25 Financial Reporting
On March 3, 2026, City staff presented the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2025 (City-of-Richmond-ACFRFY2025).
The ACFR provides audited financial statements, the independent auditor’s report, and supplemental schedules, offering a comprehensive assessment of the City’s financial position and operational results. This report identifies the amount of audited unspent funds that informs reserve allocations and other fiscal planning decisions.
The General Fund closed FY 2024–25 with revenues slightly exceeding the revised budget at approximately $277.7 million, supported by stable property tax collections and modest gains in sales tax and business license revenues. Expenditures totaled $278.5 million, exceeding revenues by $822,275, primarily due to increased public safety costs and one-time allocations for community programs and capital maintenance.
Another contributing factor to the availability of unspent funds is the City’s success in securing competitive grants. These grants have offset costs that would otherwise have been borne by the General Fund, reducing pressure on local revenues and allowing the City to maintain a higher reserve balance. However, the ability to secure such grants in future years is uncertain and often dependent on external factors such as state and federal funding priorities, economic conditions, and competitive demand. While City staff will continue to pursue grant opportunities aggressively, the City should not rely on these funds as a guaranteed source of revenue when making long-term financial plans.
Available Balance and Reserve Policy Requirements
The City’s General Fund Reserve Policy requires the City to maintain a minimum year- end contingency reserve balance of 21 percent ($54.6 million) of next year’s budgeted General Fund expenditures, including transfers out. As of June 30, 2025, the City’s General Fund Reserve, which is a component of the Unassigned Fund Balance, totals $62.8 million, representing 24.2 percent of next year’s budgeted expenditures.
The difference between the policy target of $54.6 million and the actual reserve balance of $62.8 million results in $8.2 million in audited unspent funds is available for appropriation. Under the City’s adopted funding policies, any year-end operating surplus (actual revenues minus actual expenditures and transfers) in excess of the minimum reserve requirement is subject to allocations of 10 percent to the Pension Section 115 Trust and 10 percent to the Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Section 115 Trust.
Therefore, $821,368 will be allocated to the Pension Trust and $821,368 will be allocated to the OPEB Trust. This proactive measure strengthens long-term funding for retirement obligations and helps mitigate future cost pressures. Taking into account the Section 115 and OPEB Trust contribution, the remaining available balance available is $6.57 million.
837
March 3, 2026
Personnel Cost Trends and Staffing Strategy
Since 2021, the City has strategically filled positions to address critical service gaps, increasing the number of filled roles from approximately 590 Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) in 2021 to 665 FTEs today, an overall increase of 12.7 percent. While these additions have improved service delivery, personnel costs have risen significantly. For example, the CalPERS Kaiser family health plan premium increased 44 percent from approximately $2,115 per month in 2021 to $3,039 in 2026, a difference of $924 per month. Recently approved labor successor Memorandums of Understanding, along with pending agreements, will further increase personnel costs. While this approach aligns with the City Council’s Goals and Objectives for efficient and sustainable governance and supports organizational efficiency, it also means that future budgets will experience higher baseline operating costs. As a result, the amount of audited unspent funds available for appropriation in future years may be significantly reduced. The City continues to proceed with incremental hiring to meet essential service needs while maintaining fiscal responsibility and adhering to the State Auditor’s recommendations for long-term financial stability.
Economic Development and WARN Letters
In addition to internal cost pressures, the City monitors Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letters issued in Contra Costa County. These notices, which businesses must provide when anticipating mass layoffs or closures, help the City prepare workforce support and assess potential impacts on local revenues. During FY 2024-25, the City received two WARN notices, which resulted in minimal fiscal impact; however, WARN filings have surged in other parts of California, particularly in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Orange counties. Closer to home, Solano County has experienced significant WARN activity, including over 600 layoffs tied to the Budweiser plant closure in Fairfield, Mare Island Dry Docks reductions, CVS store closures, and the Valero refinery shutdown in Benicia. Harbinger Production Inc. also filed a WARN notice for approximately 290 potential layoffs beginning in April. Local officials estimate total job losses in Solano could reach 1,000–2,000 when ripple effects are considered.
These regional trends heighten concern about potential revenue reductions and increased demand for services in future years. Continued monitoring and targeted responses are essential to safeguard Richmond’s fiscal stability and preserve available unspent funds for community priorities.
Calculation of Available Unspent Fund
After accounting for the City’s reserve policy requirements and audited year-end balances, the amounts available for appropriation, as reported in the ACFR, are shown in Table 1 below.
838
March 3, 2026
Table 1: FY 2024-25 Audited Amounts
Item Audited Amount
FY 2024-25 Ending Unassigned Fund Balance (Reserve) (24%) 62,824,919 FY 2025-26 Policy Target Beginning Fund Balance (Reserve) (21%) 54,611,239 Total Available Unspent Funds 8,213,680
Recommendations for Unspent Funds
Prior year unspent funds are considered one-time resources. In alignment with best practices recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), one- time funds should be appropriated for one-time expenditures, such as non-recurring projects or programs. To guide the City Council’s discussion, City staff recommend committing or appropriating funds to the following projects in the amount of $6.57 million:
Capital Improvement Project Funding Shortfalls
The City continues to face significant unfunded capital needs across multiple infrastructure categories. However, based on City staff’s assessment of project readiness, urgency, potential cost escalation, alignment with City Council Goals and Objectives, and community input, two projects are recommended for funding from the FY 2024-25 unspent funds. These projects can be advanced within the current fiscal year and represent the most critical opportunities to address immediate capital requirements.

Point Molate Annual Monitoring $250,000 $$250,000
Total $6,570,944
Complete Streets Improvements (Pavement Management, Streetscape Improvements, etc.)
Complete Streets Improvements are designed and operated to enable safe, comfortable, and convenient access for all users—pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all ages and abilities. This approach transforms road design from solely car-centric to multimodal, focusing on safety, equity, and community connectivity.
Streets Improvements could include but is not limited to pavement management and streetscape improvements.
The City of Richmond’s Pavement Management Program maintains approximately 580 lane miles of roadway with an annual budget of about $4 million, though an estimated $100 million would be required to fully address citywide paving needs, resulting in an unfunded backlog of roughly $96 million. The program uses a data-driven approach to assess roadway conditions and prioritize repairs, relying on the Pavement Condition 839

Index (PCI) and preventive maintenance strategies to extend pavement life while directing limited resources toward the most critical rehabilitation needs.
The Streetscape Improvements Program implements corridor-wide urban design enhancements to improve safety, accessibility, and the overall public realm in Richmond’s commercial and residential areas. The program includes improvements such as widened sidewalks, upgraded crosswalks, enhanced lighting, landscaping, and street trees, with current efforts focused on advancing the next phase of Macdonald Avenue corridor enhancements. Several planned streetscape projects remain on the City’s unfunded project list, reflecting a broader need for additional resources to fully implement these improvements across priority corridors.
Point Molate Annual Monitoring
The Point Molate Annual Monitoring activity provides ongoing environmental oversight and reporting for the former Naval Fuel Depot site. Through monthly and annual status updates, coordinated via the City-sponsored Restoration Advisory Board and shared with regulatory agencies, the program tracks remediation work, land-use planning, groundwater and soil cleanup, and related community engagement.

DISCUSSION:
At the close of each fiscal year, the City engages an external auditor to audit its financial statements. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which contains the City of Richmond’s basic financial statements, auditor’s report, and important supplemental information, is intended to give the reader a comprehensive view of the City’s financial position and activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The ACFR is prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles AGENDA
REPORT
843
March 3, 2026
(GAAP) for local governments as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
California Government Code Section 53891 requires every local government agency to submit a report of all financial transactions to the State Controller’s Office based on data from the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and that the report is audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants. Since the ACFR is audited by independent experts, the report provides additional assurance to the community that the City is being responsible stewards of tax dollars.
Consistent with sound fiscal management practices and prudent public policy, City staff are presenting the ACFR to City Council. The ACFR can be found on the City’s website at: City of Richmond - Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).
Badawi & Associates has audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining funds information of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements. The auditors have rendered an unmodified opinion on the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, with a disclaimer of opinion for business-type activities as it relates to the Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) enterprise fund and the aggregate discretely presented component units, since the financial statements of the Richmond Housing Authority and RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation and RHA Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) LLC have not been audited for the year ended June 30, 2025.
The ACFR is organized into five (5) sections:
1. Introduction including the Transmittal Letter and Independent Auditor’s Report
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
3. Basic Financial Statements and Notes
4. Supplemental Information
5. Statistical Information
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section (pages 7-20) of the ACFR presents an overview and analysis of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. City staff encourages readers to consider the information presented in this section in conjunction with additional information provided in the Transmittal Letter (pages v-xix), the City’s Basic Financial Statements (pages 21-49), and Notes to Basic Financial Statements (pages 51-167).
The Independent Auditor’s Report is included in the ACFR attached (Attachment 1 – Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, pages 1-5), below are the excerpts from the ACFR:
Unmodified Opinions
The auditors issued unmodified opinions on Governmental Activities, Major Governmental Funds, Port of Richmond Fund, Municipal Sewer Fund and Aggregate 844
March 3, 2026
Remaining Fund Information. This is the highest possible rating. “In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the General Fund, the Community Development and Loan Programs Special Revenue Fund, the General Purpose Special Revenue Fund, the General Capital Improvement Fund, the Port of Richmond Enterprise Fund, the Municipal Sewer Enterprise Fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2025, 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 Unmodified Opinions
The audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of the report.
Disclaimer of Opinion
The auditors have issued a disclaimer of opinion on Business-Type Activities, Aggregated Discretely Presented Component Units, and Richmond Housing Authority.
This is due to their inability to audit the information for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, pending completion of their audit of fiscal years ending June 30, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. More specifically, the auditors stated, “Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the financial statements of the business-type activities, Richmond Housing Authority Enterprise Fund, and the aggregate discretely presented component units of the City. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on these financial statements.”
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
The financial statements of the Richmond Housing Authority, RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation, and RHA RAD LLC have not been audited for the year ending June 30, 2025. The Richmond Housing Authority’s financial activities are included in the City’s basic financial statements as a major enterprise fund and represent 7.52 percent,
15.32 percent, and 4.89 percent of the assets, net position, and revenues, respectively, of the City’s business-type activities. The financial activities of the RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation, and RHA RAD LLC are included in the City’s financial activities as discretely presented component units and represent the City’s only discretely presented component units.
Badawi & Associates is currently auditing RHA financials for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

RICHMOND, CA 94804
(510) 620-6740
February 9 , 2026
Citizens of the City of Richmond
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
We are pleased to present the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Richmond, California (City). The Finance Department has prepared this report to present the financial position and the results of the City’s operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and the cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then ended. The basic financial statements and supporting schedules have been prepared in compliance with Article IV, Section 1(b)3 of the City Charter, with California Government Code Sections 25250 and 25253, and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for local governments as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility 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 government’s assets from loss, theft or misuse, and to compile sufficient and reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of 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 assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects.
The City Council is required to adopt an initial budget for the fiscal year to be effective July 1, for the ensuing fiscal year. Budgeted expenditures are adopted through the passage of a resolution, which constitutes the maximum authorized expenditures for the fiscal year and cannot legally be exceeded except by subsequent amendments of the budget by the City Council. Expenditures are controlled at the fund level for all budgeted departments within the City, which means the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed the appropriations. v
855
The City’s financial statements have been audited by an independent auditing firm of licensed certified public accountants. The objective of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements on a test basis; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion on the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, but with a disclaimer of opinion for business-type activities as it relates to the Richmond Housing Authority Enterprise Fund and the aggregate discretely presented component units, as the financial statements of the Richmond Housing Authority and RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation and RHA RAD LLC have not been audited for the year ended June 30, 2025. The Independent Auditors’ Report is presented as the first component of the Financial Section of this report.
Accounting standards require that management provides 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 report of the independent auditors.
The Reporting Entity and Its Services
As required by GAAP, these basic financial statements present the City 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 City’s operations; therefore, data from these units are combined with data of the City. Discretely presented component units, on the other hand, are reported in a separate column in the basic financial statements to emphasize their legal separateness and independent operations from the City. Each blended component unit has a year-end date of June 30. The City’s three discretely presented component units are RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation, and RHA RAD LLC.
The City’s component units and assessment districts are as follows: the Richmond Housing Authority, the Richmond Joint Powers Financing Authority, the Richmond Neighborhood Stabilization Corporation, the Richmond Surplus Property Authority and Harbor Navigation, Country Club Vista, and Atlas Interchange Special Assessment Districts. The City also has one inactive component unit, Richmond Parking Authority.
Profile of the Government
The City of Richmond was chartered as a city in 1909, and is located 16 miles northeast of San Francisco, directly across San Francisco Bay. Richmond is on a peninsula separating San Francisco Bay (on the south) and San Pablo Bay (to the north), spanning 32 total miles of shoreline. The City's total area is 56 square miles, 33.7 of which is land area and 22.3 is water area. Richmond is situated near major metropolitan cities and major new growth areas. San Francisco is within 35 vi
856
minutes from Richmond by freeway; Oakland is approximately 20 minutes and San Jose is approximately 60 minutes to the south; and Sacramento, the state capit al, is approximately 90 minutes to the northeast. Central Marin County is 15 minutes from Richmond directly across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Freeways provide direct access from Richmond to major new growth areas along Interstate 80 north and east to Vallejo, Fairfield, and Sacramento; along Interstate 680 in central Contra Costa County; and south along Interstate 880 to the San Jose area.
Richmond’s population is 113,594 as of January 1, 2025, according to the State of California Department of Finance. The population within a 30-mile radius of Richmond is over 3.7 million and within a 70-mile radius is approximately 7.8 million. Richmond is located on the western shore of Contra Costa County, and it is the largest city in the "West County" region consisting of five cities: Richmond, El Cerrito, San Pablo, Hercules, and Pinole.
The City of Richmond provides a full range of municipal services, including police and fire protection, construction and maintenance of highways, streets and infrastructure, library services, stormwater and municipal sewer systems, wastewater treatment facility, and the administration of recreational activities and cultural events. The City also operates the Richmond Memorial Convention Center and the Port of Richmond.
The City of Richmond operates under a Council-Manager form of government with six members elected by six districts to alternate four-year terms and the Mayor elected at-large to a four-year term as the seventh member. The City Manager, appointed by the Mayor and Council, has authority to manage the administrative and fiscal operations of the City. In addition to the City Manager, the City Attorney and City Clerk are appointed by the Mayor and Council.
The mission of the City of Richmond is:
The City of Richmond provides services that enhance economic vitality, the environment, and the quality of life of our community.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
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
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021. The City’s allocated amount was $27.74 million received in two installments, $13.87 million in August 2021 and $13.87 million in August 2022. These funds have been allocated to programs that provide rent relief for those negatively impacted by COVID-19, assistance for the unhoused, community needs assessment, and community infrastructure improvements. The City has obligated all ARPA funds by December 31, 2024 and expects to expend the funds by December 31, 2026.

857
Property Tax revenues continue to show steady growth in FY 2024-25, with actual General Fund property taxes increasing by 2.3 percent compared to the previous year. More recently, the 2025- 2026 County Assessment Roll reflects a 3.53 percent increase in Assessed Valuation (AV) for Secured Property Taxes, the primary factor influencing year-over-year change in this revenue source.
The City received $59.7 million in Sales Tax revenue, which is $1.6 million less than the previous fiscal year, a decrease of 2.6 percent. This variance is primarily due to the loss of revenue generated from businesses that were temporarily located in the city but have since moved or closed. Major retailers like Costco, Target, Home Depot, and Walmart continue to support this revenue stream.
Utility User Tax (UUT), which applies to cable television, gas and electricity, telecommunications, totaled $63.8 million. This is $4.7 million or 8 percent higher than the amount received the previous year. The variance is primarily due to amounts collected through the maximum cap payable provision of the Richmond Municipal Code and amounts remitted by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) resulting from rate increases.
Other Taxes received in FY 2024-25 totaled $27.2 million, an increase of $8.4 million or 45 percent when compared to the prior fiscal year. This increase is mainly due to higher collections from Documentary Transfer Tax and Franchise Fees collected by PG&E. The Documentary Transfer Tax, which is collected by Contra Costa County on property sales, showed significant volatility with monthly payments ranging from as low as $300,000 to as high as $7 million. This revenue stream totaled $13.4 million, an increase of $4.8 million or 56 percent when compared to the prior year. For Franchise Fees collected by PG&E, amounts paid in FY 2024-25 reflect a full year of the new Franchise Agreement and totaled $7.6 million, a $3.3 million or 78 percent increase compared to the prior year.
Revenue for Licenses, Permits, and Fees (including Measure U Business Tax) totaled $17 million, a $151,000 increase when compared to the prior year. This marks the fourth full year that Business Tax was calculated on gross receipts as mandated with the passage of Measure U. Total Business Tax revenue was $14.7 million, an increase of $197,000 or 1.4 percent when compared to the FY 2024-25 Revised Budget. Approved by voters in 2020, Measure U, changed the Business License Tax calculation to be based on gross receipts instead of the number of employees or location. The Business Tax collected by the City now varies with inflation and the number of businesses, closely linking it to the local economy.
Significant Events and Accomplishments
The City of Richmond is committed to providing excellent municipal services to its diverse residents and visitors. Highlights of the City’s activities and accomplishments for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, include the following:
Community Services

Disclaimer of Opinion on Business-Type Activities, Aggregated Discretely Presented Component Units and Richmond Housing Authority
Because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraph, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on the financial statements of the business-type activities, Richmond Housing Authority Enterprise Fund, and the aggregate discretely presented component units of the City. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on these financial statements.
873
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Richmond
Richmond, California
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion
The financial statements of the Richmond Hous ing Authority and RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation and RHA RAD LLC have not been audited for the year ended June 30, 2025. The Richmond Housing Authority’s financial activities are included in the City’s basic financial statements as a major enterprise fund and represent 7.52%, 15.32%, and 4.89% of the assets, net position, and revenues, respectively, of the City’s business-type activities. The financial activities of the RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation and RHA RAD LLC are included in the City ’s financial activities as discretely presented component units and represent the City’s only discretely presented component units.
Unmodified Opinions on Governmental Activities, Major Governmental Funds, Port of Richmond, Municipal Sewer Fund and Aggregate Remaining Fund Information In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the General Fund, the Community Development and Loan Programs Special Revenue Fund, the General Purpose Special Revenue Fund, the General Capital Improvement Fund, the Port of Richmond Enterprise Fund, the Municipal Sewer Enterprise Fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2025, 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 Unmodified Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing st andards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) 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
The City’s 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 re levant 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 re quired 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.
2 874
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Richmond
Richmond, California
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to 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 GAAS 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 GAAS, 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 circ umstances, 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 polic ies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as we ll 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.

Richmond, California
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally acce pted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison in formation, and required pension and other post- employment benefits information on pages 7-20 and 173-193 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information 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 part of financial reporting for placing the ba sic 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 meth ods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s response s 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
This narrative overview and analysis of the City of Richmond’s (City) Basic Financial Statements is for the fiscal year (FY) ended June 30, 2025. We encourage r eaders to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the accompanying transmittal letter, basic financial statements, and notes to the financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The City’s total net position is $215.2 million, an increase of $83.2 million over the prior fiscal year.
Net position for governmental activities is $45.8 million, an increase of $64.5 million which is mainly attributed to an increase of $40.3 million in cash and investments and an increase of $33.4 million in capital assets. Net position for business-type activ ities is $169.4 million, an increase of $18.7 million which is mainly attributed to an increase of $3. 2 million to total assets and a decrease of $9.8 million to total liabilities. Additional information about the FY 2023-24 restatement of net position can be found in Note 10.
The assets and deferred outflows of the governmental activities of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at the close of FY 2024-25 by $4 5.8 million. The assets and deferred outflows of the business-type activities of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows by $169.4 million.
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s unrestricted ne t deficit (governmental and business-type activities) totaled $306.5 million, a $64.8 million deficit decrease from prior year. The unrestricted net deficits represent the net unfunded liabilities of the government . Over time, increases and decreases in this account will allow the reader to determine if the City’s condition is improving or deteriorating.
Restricted net position for governmental and busin ess-type activities increased by a net $21.4 million to $190.4 million.
The City’s financial statements include a disclaime r of opinion on the financial statements of the Richmond Housing Authority Enterprise Fund (RHA), a blended component unit included in the City’s business-type activities, and three discretely presented component units, RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation, and RHA RAD LLC. As of J une 30, 2025, the net position of RHA is $25.9 million, accounting for 15.3% of the City’s business-type activities. Additional information about the disclaimer of opinion can be found in the Independent Auditor’s Report.
The City’s General Fund cash reserve policy requi res the City to maintain a minimum year-end contingency reserve balance of 21% of next y ear’s budgeted General Fund expenditures, including transfers out or $54.6 million. As of June 30, 2025, the City’s cash reserve, which is a component of the unassigned fund balance, is $62.8 million or 24.2%.
The Net Pension Liability of $356.4 million represents the City’s unfunded pension obligation, decreased by $21.4 million from $377.8 million. The City reports $53.2 million in the Other Post- Employment Benefit (OPEB) liability for this fiscal year, which is a decrease of $10.2 million from the $63.4 million obligation reported in the prior year.
7 879
The City’s General Fund revenue and other fina ncing sources (uses) exceeded expenditures by $3.9 million in FY 2024-25. This is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue, specifically an increase in revenue from other taxes, fines and penalties.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City’s basic financial statements are compri sed of government-wide fi nancial statements, fund financial statements, and notes to the financial stat ements. This report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources with the difference between the four reported as net position.
Over time, increases or decreases in net position may ser ve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows.
The government-wide financial statements distinguish f unctions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and grants, governmental activities, and business-type activities, which are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges. The City’s activities include five blended component units, which c onsist of the Richmond Housing Authority, Richmond Joint Powers Financing Authority, Richmond Ne ighborhood Stabilization Corporati on, Richmond Surplus Property Authority, and Richmond Municipal Sewer District. Although legally separate, the City is financially accountable for the activities of these entities, which are therefore shown as blended as part of the primary government.
RHA Properties, RHA Housing Corporation, and R HA RAD LLC, while being legally separate entities, are included in the City's financial statement as di scretely presented component units for which the City bears financial responsibility.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 26-29 of the financial report.
Fund Financial Statements
Fund Financial Statements are designed to report info rmation about the groupings of related accounts that are used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives.
The City uses fund accounting to ensure and dem onstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds – Governmental funds focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resour ces available at the end of the FY 2024-25. Such information may be useful in determining what financia l resources are available in the near future to fund the City’s programs.
8 880
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide fina ncial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund Balance Sheet and the governmental fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City has twenty-five governmental funds, of which four are considered major funds for presentation purposes. Each major fund is presented separately in the governmental fund Balance Sheet and in the governmental fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances. The City’s four major funds are the General Fund, the Community Development and Loan Programs Fund, General Purpose Fund, and the General Capital Impr ovement Fund. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 34-37 of the financial report. Data from the other twenty-one governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation and reported separately on pages 197-232 of the financial report.
Proprietary Funds – Proprietary funds of the City are two types: (1) enterprise funds and (2) internal service funds. The City maintains six enterprise funds that provide the same type of information as the government- wide financial statements, but in greater detail. The City maintains three internal service funds to account for its vehicle operations, risk management program , and compensated absences. The proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 39-45 and 233-240 of the financial report.
Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of third parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. The fiduciary funds for the City consist of Private-Purpose Trust Funds and Custodial Funds. The fiduciary funds financial statements for these funds can be found on pages 47-49 and 241-253 of the financial report.
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 53-167 of the financial report.

Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Totals 11 883
Total revenues of $355.3 million exceeded total expe nses of $290.5 million by $64.8 million. Revenues increased by $27.1 million or 8.3% from the prior year’s revenue of $328.2 million primarily due to an increase in charges for services, operating grants, prope rty taxes, utility user taxes, and other taxes.
Expenses increased by $11.8 million or 4.2% from the pr ior year’s expenses of $278.7 million primarily due to an increase in salary and administrative expenses.
Business-Type Activities
Business-type activities increased the City’s net position by $18.7 million. Key factors contributing to the increase in business-type activities are as follows:
The Richmond Housing Authority’s (RHA) net position increased by $465 thousand from the previous year’s amount of $25.5 million. This increase is attr ibuted to a reduction in salaries and benefits, and administrative costs.
The Port of Richmond’s (Port) net position incr eased by $7.2 million, an increase of 20% from the previous year’s amount of $36.6 m illion. This is attributed to an increase in interest earned and a reduction in operating expenses.
The Municipal Sewer Fund’s net position increased by $8.7 million from the previous year’s amount of $77.8 million. This is attributed to an increase in service charges and revenue received for the West County Agency dissolution.
Other Enterprise Funds’ net position increased by $2.4 million from the previous year’s amount of $10.9 million. This is attributed to an increase in grants.
Net Program (Expenses) Revenues
Comparisons of the costs of services by functions for the City’s government-wide activities are shown in the preceding tables on page 11, along with the revenues used to cover the net expenses.

Governmental Activities
Expenses and Program Revenues
12 884
Total governmental activities expenses of $290.5 million were offset by $101.7 million in program revenues in FY 2024-25. Program revenues are derived directly from the program itself or from parties outside the reporting government’s taxpayers or citizenry.

As reflected in the chart below, 35% of th e governmental program revenues came from Charges for Services, which includes licenses, permits, fees, fines, forfeitures, penalties, and several other revenues.
The remaining 63% of governmental program revenues came from Operating Grants and Capital Grants Contributions, which includes restricted revenues su ch as gas tax, transportation and sales tax, and Federal/State Grants.
General revenue is revenue not categorized as program revenues and include property taxes, sales taxes, utility users taxes, documentary transfer taxes, investment earnings, grants and contributions not related to specific programs and other miscellaneous general revenues. Total general revenues from governmental activities were $236.0 million in FY 2024-25.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financial capacity.
At the end of FY 2024-25, the City’s governmental funds reported total fund balances of $263.7 million, an increase of $22.3 million, or 9.3% from prior year. Financial highlights for the City’s major funds are discussed below:
General Fund – The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. It is used to report the financial results of the daily operations of the City. The major revenue sources are utility users taxes, sales taxes, and property taxes. The major expenditures are salaries and administrative expenses.
The City’s General Fund revenues increased by $15.1 million or 6.9% and expenditures increased by $49.5 million or 24.9%. The increase in reve nues is primarily due to the increased collection of property taxes, other taxes, charges for services, and utility user ta xes. Property taxes increased by $1.3 million or 2.3%.
Other taxes increased by $8.4 million or 45%. Utility User taxes increased by $4.7 million or 8%. Charges for services revenue increased by $715 thousand or 14.5%. The increase in expenditure is due to an increase in salaries and administrative expenses. Public saf ety expenditures increased by $17.5 million or 16.5%.
Public works expenditures increased by $3.7 million or 11.5%. Cultural and r ecreational expenditures increased by $1.8 million or 15.3%. Capital outlay increased by $21.8 million due to the remeasurement of the new Police Department Facility (DiCon) lease amendment for five-year lease extension and five additional one-year renewal options under GASB 87.
At the end of the FY 2024-25, the total fund balance increased by $3.9 million from the prior year to $103.3 million. The General Fund reported an unassigned fund balance of $62.8 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from prior year’s balance of $65.3 million, of which the entire balance has been set aside for contingency.
Community Development and Loan Programs – This fund was established to account for the receipt of grant monies and the uses of Community Developm ent Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership Program, and Neighborhood Stabilization Program. In conjunction with the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, this fund also accounts for the low- and moderate-income housing activities of the City as Housing Successor to the former Redevelopm ent Agency’s low-income and moderate-income housing activities. As of June 30, 2025, fund balance was $34.9 million, which represents a $173 thousand increase from prior year’s fund balance of $34.7 million.
General Purpose Fund – This fund was established to account for restricted revenues such as grant monies to be used for specific purposes or various project s. Total revenue increased by $10 million or 76% from prior year’s revenue of $13.2 million. This increase was primarily attributable to higher grant revenues received for various projects, including the Homeke y Project, the Shields-Reid Park Renovation Project, 15 887
the Richmond Communities Clean Collaborative infrast ructure projects, and the California Violence Intervention and Prevention Program.
General Capital Improvement Fund – The General Capital Improvement Fund is used to track the City’s capital improvement projects. In FY 2024-25, there was a total of $20.1 million transferred from the General Fund to support multiple capital projects, including the Main Library Renovation project, the Via Verdi mitigations project and the Street Paving Program. Ot her major contributions were to projects such as the Booker T. Anderson Jr. Center Infrastructure upgrade project, and the Boorman Park remediation project.
Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds are enterprise and internal service funds. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements but in more detail.
The City’s major enterprise funds are the Richmond Housing Authority, Port of Richmond, and Municipal Sewer.
Richmond Housing Authority – The Richmond Housing Authority (RHA) provides affordable housing for low and very low-income residents of Richmond thr ough federally funded housing programs. RHA’s net position increased by $465 thousand to $25.9 million as of June 30, 2025.
The Port of Richmond – The Port of Richmond (Port) is a public enterprise established by the City and is administered as a department of the City. Operations include the marine terminal facilities and commercial property rentals. The Port’s net position increased by $7.2 million to $43.7 million as of June 30, 2025.
Municipal Sewer Fund – This fund is used to account for a variety of sewer service-related revenues and expenses. Municipal Sewer’s net position increased by $8.7 million to $86.5 million as of June 30, 2025.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The original adopted budget, excluding transfer s, bond premium and proceeds from sale of property, reflected $226.5 million in estimated revenues and $235.4 million in appropriations.
Budget adjustments reflect extensive analysis a nd updates arising from periodic review and Council approved amendments that occurred during the fiscal year.
The final revised budget includes $695 thousand increase in estimated revenues and $4.5 million increase in appropriations. Actual revenue of $233.8 million exceeded the revi sed revenue budget by $6.7 million, a variance of 3%. Key elements of the variances in revenues and appropriations are discussed below.
Property taxes received totaled $55.1 million, which was $2.5 million below both the original and revised budgets. The lower amount stems from residual Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) r eceipts for the Successor Ag ency Residual and Pass- through revenue. After several years of significant growth, the numbers have somewhat stagnated.
Sales taxes totaled $59.7 million, which was $1. 2 million below the revised budget and $706 thousand below the original budget. This dip is the result of one-time spikes related to businesses who located in Richmond on a short-term basis in FY 2023-24.
16 888
Utility Users Tax (UUT) totaled $63.8 million, which exceeded expectations by $1.7 million. The primary source of the increase is in tax collections from gas and electricity due to rate increases by Pacific Gas and Electric and the amount related to the tax provision th at went up based on the regional gas and electricity Consumer Price Index.
Licenses, permits and fees totaled $14.8 million, which exceeded the revised budget by $986 thousand. A significant part of this revenue stream is the Bu siness License Tax. Richmond voters in 2020 approved Measure U which changed the way the business tax is calculated based on number of employees to gross receipts. Additionally, it changed the due date where now all business licenses expire on December 31 st of
each year rather than the anniversary date of each business basis. This change in expiration date required some businesses to transition their expiration which in many cases meant they would pay both a prorated amount and a full amount in the first full year of Measure U. This caused the amount received for FY 2023- 24 to be higher than the amount received in FY 2024-25.
The final estimated General Fund Revenues are $227.0 million, an increase of $545 thousand from the original adopted budget appropriation of $226.5 million. The increase stems from small adjustment to the Sales Tax and Charges for Services revenue categories.
The final adjusted appropriations are $243.1 million, an increase of $7.7 million from the original adopted budget appropriation of $235.4 million. The increase is driven by additional appropriations in General Government, Public Safety, and Capital outlay. The final budget appropriation for transfers out is $33.4 million, an increase of $12.9 million. The increase is due to City Council approved allocations to several capital projects to appropriate fund balance above the minimum reserve level of 21%.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2025, amounted to $610.6 million, net of accumulated depreciation. Investment in capital assets includes land, construction in progress, buildi ngs and improvements, machinery and equipment, and infrastructure.
Details by type are shown in the following table.
The City’s infrastructure assets are re corded at their historical cost s in the government-wide financial statements. Additional information about the City’s capital assets can be found in Note 6 on pages 86-90. 17 889
Debt Administration
Long Term Debt – The City’s total debt outstanding increased by $14.6 million to $438.3 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase is partly due to a five-year lease extension, which also includes five additional one-year renewal options, with DiCon Fiberoptics for Police Department Facility. Details by type are shown in the following table.
The City does not have any general obligation bonds as of June 30, 2025.
Economic Factors
The City’s economic base has recovered from the slowdown related to the effects of the COVID-19 restrictions. As of January 1, 2025, property va lues assessed by the County have increased by 3.5% over the prior year. Increase to the Assessed Valuation ( AV) primarily stemmed from the new valuations of properties sold the prior year in Richmond. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) growth was 2.0% for most properties and there were significant property sales during the year. The refinery assessment by the County decreased from approximately $3.3 billion in 2024 to $3.2 billion in 2025, a decrease of $161 million or 5%. Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) revenue fro m Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) payments, after many years of significant growth, have somewhat flattened out at around $10.5 million per year. Sales tax reve nue has rebounded to above pre-pa ndemic levels. Sales tax revenue was $47.7 million in FY 2018-19, dipped down to $44.5 million in FY 2019-20, rebounded to $49.0 million in FY 2020-21, and has continued to increase year- over-year. In FY 2023-24, sales tax revenue increased to $61.3 million but dipped to $59.7 million in FY 2024-25. This dip was the result of one-time spikes related to businesses who located to Richmond on a shor t-term basis. The sales tax business anchors in Richmond continued to display steady growth.

Measure H
In November 2018, Richmond voters approved Measure H which called for a new tiered calculation for the Documentary Transfer Tax. The tax rate increases based on the sale price of the property. The rate of 0.70% did not change for sales under $1 million, but for sales from $1 million and above, the rates changed according to the following table.
Prior to the new tiered system, Docu mentary Transfer Tax has always been one of the most volatile of revenue streams for the City. A few sales can have a dramatic impact on the General Fund, and this has not changed as revenue fluctuates year-to-year. In FY 2017-18, before the new tiered rate structure was established, the transfer tax collected totaled $6.5 million. In FY 2018-19, the tax collected went up to $8.0 million. In FY 2019-20, it went up modestly to $8.7 million. In FY 2020-21, due to a few unusually large real-estate transactions, it increased significantly to $19.9 million. In FY 2021-22, the Transfer Tax revenue decreased by $1.2 million to $18.6 million. In FY 2022-23, the Transfer Tax revenue saw a significant dip of $8.2 million, or a decrease of 44%, with a total of $10.4 million in Transfer Tax. In FY 2023-24, the Transfer Tax revenue saw another dip, this dip was $1.8 million, or a decrease of 18%, with a total of $8.6 million in Transfer Tax received. Finally, in FY 2024-25 the Transfer Tax revenue saw a significant increase of $4.8 million, corresponding to an increase of 56 %, with a total of $13.46 million in Transfer Tax received.
Measure U
In November 2020, Richmond voters approved Measure U, which significantly changed the calculation for the business license tax. This changed the tax calculation from being based on the number of employees or location to a percentage of the business’s gross receipt s. The percentage charged varies based on both the type of business and the amount of gross receipts wi th the new rates, ranging from 0.06% to 0.68% for businesses and 1.08% to 2.4% for rental properties. The new methodology brought in an additional $5.3 million for the City in FY 2021-22, an increase of 168% compared to prior year, an additional $7.7 million in FY 2022-23 with a total of $1 6.2 million, an increase of 91% over the previous year. In FY 2023-24, revenue received totaled $14.5 million, a decrease of $1.7 million or 10.8%. This decrease was expected as businesses transitioned to the new business tax calcu lation methodology based on gross receipts and the updated expiration date of December 31
st of each year. This expiration date change called for some businesses that did not expire on December 31 st to make two payments during the fiscal year – one was a partial payment for 2023, and the other was the fu ll payment for 2024. In FY 2024-25, Business License Tax revenue received totaled $14.7 million, an increase of $151 thousand or 0.9%.
The City continues to closely monitor revenue and expenditures through monthly variance reports to assure adherence to budget controls. Simultaneously, position control is strictly enforced, ensuring that any employee hired is moving into a funded position. For the upcoming fiscal year, staff is working to align the 19 891
budget forecast with City Council priorities and California State Auditor’s recommendations, review the City’s organizational structure, and provide recommended actions for fiscal sustainability.
This will include planning and a ddressing pension and Other Post-Emp loyment Benefits (OPEB) funding and determining adequate reserve level per the California State Auditor’s recommendation. Additionally, the City continues to analyze the structural integrity of all funds and identify additional cost reductions and efficiencies.
In August 2024, the Richmond City Council unanimously entered into a limited-term revenue agreement with Chevron. The agreement stated that Chevron will pay the City $550 million over 10 years. Under the agreement, Chevron will make annual payments of $50 million per year for the first five years and $60 million per year for the next five years. The limited-term revenue will be recorded in Richmond’s General Fund, and city leaders are still exploring options for how best to use these funds.

These statements presen t summaries of Governmental and Business-Type Activities for the City accompanied by a total column. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non-exchange transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties. Fiduciary activities of the City are not included in these statements; they are presented separately.
The Statement of Activities 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 thos e that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational needs of a particular pr ogram and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
The Government-wide financial statements are pres ented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows/inflows of resources and liabilities, includ ing capital assets as well as infrastructure assets and long-term liabilities, are included in the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities presents all the City’s revenues, expenses and other changes in Net Position .

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, Continued Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Governmental Fund Financial Statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for all major governmental funds and in the aggregate for all non-major funds. 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.
All governmental funds are accounted for on the “current financial resources” measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingl y, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheets. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures 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 expenditures of the current period.
Accordingly, revenues are recorded when received such as business licenses and fines and penalties in cash, except that revenues subject to accrual (gen erally ninety days after the fiscal year-end) are recognized when due. The primary revenue sources which have been treated as susceptible to accrual by the City are property taxes, sales taxes, transi ent occupancy taxes, franchise taxes, certain other intergovernmental revenues, and earnings on investments. Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred also generally ninety days after the fiscal year end.
Reconciliations of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government-Wide Financial Statements are provided to explain the differences between the two approaches.
The City reports the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
General Fund – the General Fund is used for all the general revenues of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds and the related expenditures. The General Fund accounts for all financial resources of a governmental unit which are not accounted for in another fund.
Community Development and Loan Programs Special Revenue Fund – accounts for the receipt of Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership Program, and Neighborhood Stabilization Program grant monies and the use of the grants. The Fund also accounts for the low and moderate income housing activities of the City as Housing Successor to the former Redevelopment Agency. Related to the grant disallowed costs discu ssed in Note 4, the City purchased certain loans that had previously been funded with Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds. The grants and loan programs are to be used to provide, within the City of Richmond, new affordable housing, improve existing housing conditions, assi st homeless and disabled with housing, and to expand economic opportunities in business and employment for low and moderate income residents.
General Purpose Fund – accounts for other restricted monies that are to be used for the specific purposes for which the funds were set up.
General Capital Improvement Fund – accounts fo r monies designated for capital improvement projects.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued B. Basis of 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 St atement of Cash Flows for each major proprietary fund and in the aggregate for all non-major funds. A column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, internal se rvice balances and activi ties have been combined with the governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements.
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets, liab ilities and deferred outflows/inflows of resources (whether current or non-current) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Positi on 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 th e period in which the liability is incurred, regardless of when cash changes hands.
Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are those revenues that are generated from 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 primar y operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as non-operating expenses.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds as proprietary funds of the City:
Richmond Housing Authority – This fund accounts for all funds provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assist low income families in obta ining decent, safe and sanitary housing.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, Continued Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements include a Statement of Fiduciary Net Position, and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The City’s Fidu ciary funds represent Priv ate-Purpose Trust funds and Custodial funds. Custodial funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations. Private-Purp ose Trust funds are accounted for on an economic resources measurement focus under the accrual basis of accounting.
The City reports the following fiduciary fund types:
Trust Funds - The Pt. Molate Private-Purpose Trust Fund is used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for the U.S. Navy and a private developer for the cleanup of Point Molate as discussed in Note 18. The Successor Agency to the Richmo nd Community Redevelopment Agency Private- Purpose Trust Fund was established as of February 1, 2012 to account for the activities of the Successor Agency to the former Richmond Community Redeve lopment Agency as discussed in Note 19. The financial activities of the Trust Funds are excluded from the Government-Wide Financial Statements, but are presented in the separate Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements.
Custodial Funds – These funds are used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for individuals, private organizations, and other gove rnments, including special assessment districts within the City and non-public organizations. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the Government-Wide Financial Statement, but are pr esented in separate Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements.
C. Cash and Investments
The City maintains a cash and investments pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund’s portion of this pool is displayed as cash and investments on the balance sheet for governmental funds and the statements of net position for proprietary and fiduciary funds. Investments are stated at fair value.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Disclosures (Amendment of GASB Statement No. 3) , certain disclosure requirements for deposi ts and investment risks were made in the following areas:
Interest Rate Risk
Credit Risk
o Overall
o Custodial Credit Risk
o Concentrations of Credit Risk
In addition, other disclosures are specified includin g use of certain methods to present deposits and investments, highly sensitive investments, credit quality at year-end, and other disclosures. 60 932

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued C. Cash and Investments, Continued
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools, highly liquid money market investments with maturities of one-year or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. The City categorizes the fair value measurements of its in vestments based on the hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy, wh ich has three levels, is based on the valuation inputs used to measure an asset’s fair value: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The City did not have any investments measured using Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2025.
The City participates in an investment pool managed by the State of California entitled Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) which has invested a portion of the pooled funds in Structured Notes and Asset- Backed Securities. LAIF’s investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing these investments. In addition, these Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities are subject to market risk as to the change in interest rates.
Cash equivalents are considered amounts in dem and deposits and short-term investments with a maturity date within three months of the date acquired by the Ci ty and are presented as “cash and investments” in the accompanying basic financial statements.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all pooled cash and investments (consisting of cash and investments and restricted cash and investments) held by the City as cash and cash equivalents because the pool is used essentially as a demand deposit account from the standpoint of the funds. The City also considers all non-pooled cash and investments (consisting of cash with fiscal agent and restricted cash and investments held by fiscal agent) as cash and cash equivalents because investments meet the criteria for cash and equivalents defined above.
D. Prepaids and Supplies
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future fiscal years and are recorded as prepaid items in both Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements. The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed, rather than when purchased. Prepaid items in governmental funds are equally offset by nonspendable fund bal ance which indicates that they do not constitute available spendable resources even though they are a component of net current assets.
Supplies are valued at cost using the weighted av erage method. Supplies of the governmental funds consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. The cost is recorded as an expenditure in the governmental funds at the time individual invent ory items are consumed rather than when purchased.
Reported governmental fund inventories are equa lly offset by nonspendable fund balance which indicates that they do not constitute available spendable resources even though they are a component of net current assets.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued E. Capital Assets
Capital assets are valued at historical cost or at estimated acquisition value on the date donated. If actual historical costs are not available, assets have been valued at approximate historical cost. The City’s policy is to capitalize assets costing at least $5,000, and the Housing Authority ’s policy is to capitalize assets costing at least $1,000. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Infrastructure includes street systems, parks, recreation lands, improvement systems, stormwater collection systems, and buildings combined with site amenities such as parking and landscaped areas used by the City
in the conduct of its business. Each major infrastructure system is divide d into subsystems. For example, the street system includ es pavement, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, medians, streetlights, tra
ffic control devices such as signs, signals and pavement m arkings, landscaping and land.
In the case of the initial capitalization of general infrastructure assets reported by governmental activities, the City chose to include all such items regardless of their acquisition date or amount.
Net interest costs incurred during the construction of capital assets for the business-type and proprietary funds are capitalized as part of the asset’s cost.
F. Property Held for Resale
Property held for resale is accounted for at the lower of cost or net realizable value or agreed upon sales price if a disposition agreement has been made with a developer.
The City received five properties for resale in fisc al year 2013 with a book value of $573,822 from the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure on the pr operty related to developer defaults on prior loans under the Richmond Neighborhood Stabilization loan program discussed in Note 4. These properties were rehabilitated during fiscal years 2014 and 2015 increasing the carrying value by a total of $749,716 and $39,303, respectively. In fiscal year 2014, the Ci ty received an additional four properties with a carrying value of $648,238. Six properties were sold in fiscal year 2016, the remaining two properties held for resale had a book value of $671,255 as of June 30, 2017. In fiscal year 2018, one property was sold during the year, and the carrying value of the one remaining property held for resale was $78,016 as of June 30, 2025.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued G. Property Taxes
The State of California’s Constitution limits the combined maximum property tax rate on any given property to 1% of its assessed value except for vo ter approved incremental property taxes. Assessed value equals purchase price and may be adjusted by no more than 2% per year unless the property is modified, sold, or transferred. The State Legislature distributes property tax receipts from among the counties, cities, school districts, and other districts.
Contra Costa County assesses properties and bills for and collects property taxes as follows:
The term “unsecured” refers to taxes on personal property other than land and buildings. These taxes are secured by liens on the property being taxed. Pr operty taxes levied are recorded as revenue in the fiscal year of levy.
H. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position or balance sheet report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This sepa rate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The first item that qualifies for reporting in this category is the deferred charge on refunding reported in the statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. The City also has deferred outflows of resources related to pensions and OPEB as discussed in Notes 12 and 14.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net posi tion or balance sheet repo rt a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement elemen t, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net asse ts or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not b e r e c o g n i z e d a s a n i n f l o w o f r e s o u r c e s ( r e v e n u e ) until that time. The first item which qualifies for reporting in this category arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is only reported in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from three sources: loans receivable, grants receivable and interest on interfund advances. See Note 9 for further discussion . The City also has deferred inflows of resources related to leases, pensions and OPEB as discussed in Note 5, Notes 12 and 14. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued I. Net Position and Fund Balances
Net Position
In the City-wide financial statements, Net Position is classified as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – This amount consists of capital assets net of accumulated depreciation plus deferred outflows of resources associated with the refunding of related capital debt, reduced by outstanding debt that was used for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of these capital assets.
Restricted Net Position – This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments. In addition, net position restricted for pension benefits are restricted as a result of enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position – This amount is all net position that does not meet the definition of “net investment in capital assets” or “restricted net position.” When an expense is incurred for purposes for which bo th restricted and unrestricted net position are available, the City’s policy is to apply restricted net position first.
Fund Balances
Governmental fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net current assets generally represent a fund’s cash and receivables, less its liabilities.
The City’s fund balances are classified based on sp ending constraints imposed on the use of resources.
For programs with multiple funding sources, the Ci ty prioritizes and expends funds in the following order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassign ed. Each category in the following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint:
Nonspendable represents balances set aside to indi cate items do not represent available, spendable resources even though they are a component of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained intact, such as Permanent Funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids, interfund advances and notes receivable are included. However, if proceeds realized from the sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed or assigned, then nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for a specific purpose.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by formal action of the City Council which may be altered only by the same formal action of the City Council. The highest level of formal action of the City Council is an Ordinance.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued I. Net Position and Fund Balances, Continued
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council or its designee, the Finance Director, and may be changed at the discretion of the City Council or its designee, during the budget approval process or via bu dget amendments in accordance with the City’s adopted budget policy. This category includes encumbrances; nonspendables, when it is the City’s intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific purpose, and residual fund balances, if any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds which have not been restricted or committed.
Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have no t been restricted, committed, or assigned. This includes the residual general fund balance and residual fund deficits, if any, of other governmental funds.
J. Compensated Absences
The City recognizes a liability for compensated absenc es for leave time that (1) has been earned for services previously rendered by employees, (2) a ccumulates and is allowed to be carried over to subsequent years, and (3) is more likely than not to be used as time off or settled (for example paid in cash to the employee) during or upon separation fr om employment. Based on the criteria listed, three types of leave qualify for liability recognition for compensated absences – vacation, sick leave, and compensated time-off. The liability for compensated absences is reported as incurred in the government- wide and Proprietary Fund Financial Statements. A liability for compensated absences is recorded in the governmental funds only if the liability has matured because of employee resignations or retirements.
The liability for compensated absenc es includes salary-related bene fits, where applicable. The flow assumption used by the City in estimating compensated absence amounts is that the oldest accrued leave is used first by employees (first in first out).
K. Bond Issuance Costs, Original Issue Discounts and Premiums and Deferred Charge on Refunding For proprietary fund types, bond premiums and discounts 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. Any differences between proprietary refunded debt and the debt issued to refund it, called a deferred charge on refunding, is amortized over the remaining life of either the refunded debt or the refunding debt, whichever is shorter. The deferred charge on refunding is reported as a deferred inflow or outflow of resources, as applicable. Bond issuance costs, other than prepaid insurance, are expensed in the year incurred.
L. Pension
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expens e, information about the fi duciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determ ined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (i ncluding refunds of empl oyee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in a ccordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, de ferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s OPEB Plans and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the CalPERS-CERBT Trust and the PARS Trust.
For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
N. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The City maintains a cash and investment pool for a ll funds. Certain restricted funds that are held and invested by independent outside custodians through contractual agreements are not pooled. These restricted funds include cash and investment held by trustees. Interest 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 funds.
The following is a summary of cash and investments at June 30, 2025:

B. Deposits
The carrying amount of the City’s cash deposit was $35,438,568 at June 30, 2025. Bank balances before reconciling items were a positive amount of $37,056, 028 at June 30, 2025. The City’s cash deposit was fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The remaining amount was collateralized with securities held by pledging the financial institutions.
The California Government Code (Code) Section 53 652 requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City’s cash deposits by pl edging securities as collateral. The Code states that collateral pledged in this manner sha ll have the effect of perfecting a secu rity interest in such collateral superior 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 le ast 110% of the City’s cash deposits. California law also allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the City’s total cash deposits.
C. Investments Authorized by the Code and the City’s Investment Policy Under the provisions of the City’s Investment Po licy, and in accordance with California Government Code, the following investments are authorized:

C. Investments Authorized by the Code and the City’s Investment Policy, Continued The City’s portfolio value fluctuates in an inverse relationship to any change in interest rate. Accordingly, if interest rates rise, the portfolio value will decline. If interest rates fall, the portfolio value will rise. The portfolio for year-end reporting purposes is treated as if it were all sold. Therefore, fund balance must reflect the portfolio’s change in value. These portfolio value changes are unrealized unless sold.
Generally, the City’s practice is to buy and hold investments until maturity dates. Consequently, the City’s investments are carried at fair value.
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The City’s investments with LAIF at June 30, 2025 include a portion of the pool funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. These investments included the following:
Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more indices and/or 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 a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as collateralized mortgage obligations) or credit card receivables.
At June 30, 2025, the City had $74,087,899 invested in LAIF, which had invested 3.81% of the pool investment funds in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities as compared to 3.00% in the previous year. The LAIF fair value factor of 1.001198310 was used to calculate the fair value of the investments in LAIF.
The City reports its investment in CalTrust at the fa ir value amount provided by CalTrust, which is the same as the value of the pool shares. The balance in the Short-Term Fund is available for withdrawal on demand and the balance in the Medium-Term Fund is available for withdrawal upon two days’ notice, and is based on the accounting records maintained by CalTrust. Included in CalTrust’s investment portfolio are: United States Treasury Notes, Bills, Bo nds or Certificates of Indebtedness; registered state warrants or treasury notes or bonds; California local agency bonds, notes, warrants or other indebtedness; federal agency or United States government-sponsored enterprise obligations; bankers acceptances; commercial paper; negotiable certificates of deposit; repurchase agreements; medium-term notes; money market mutual funds; notes, bonds or other obligation secured by a first priority security interest in securities authoriz ed under Government Code Section 53651; and mortgage passthrough securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and other asset – backed securities. CalTrust’s Short-Term Fund has a target portfolio duration of 0 to 2 years and CalTrust’s Medium-Term Fund has a target portfolio duration of 1 to 3 years. At June 30, 2025 the Short-Term Fund investments matured in an average of 0.81 years and the Medium-Term Fund investments matured in an average of 2.35 years. 68 940

C. Investments Authorized by the Code and the City’s Investment Policy, Continued Prohibited Investments
Under the City’s Investment Policy, the City imposed restrictions on investments. The City cannot invest in any funds in inverse floaters, range notes, or interest only Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (STRIPS) that are derived from a pool of mortgage s, or in any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity (other than money market mutual funds). It is the City’s policy not to invest in companies involved in the manufacturing of tobacco and tobacco-related products.
The City will not invest in companies involved in the development or manufacturing of commodities that facilitate violence, war, oppression, aparthei d, arms and weapons, border and mass surveillance industries, mass incarceration and detention, or those utilizing prison labor for production. The City will not investment any funds in international financial instruments that benefited from slavery, in Fossil Fuel companies, or in stocks, bonds, securities, or other obligations issued by provider of Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
D. Investments Authorized by Debt Issues and Lease Agreements Under the terms of the City’s and Authority’s debt i ssues and lease agreements, the City is subject to various restrictions in the type, ma turity and credit ratings of investments of the unspent proceeds of these issues. These restrictions are generally no more restrictive than those listed above regarding investment of the City’s funds. In addition, some bond indentures authorize investments in guaranteed investment contracts and investment agreements with maturity dates that coincide with the applicable debt maturities. At June 30, 2025, the City was in compliance with the terms of all these restrictions.
E. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Normally, 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 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 maturi ng or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.

Credit risk is the risk that an is suer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the actual rating at June 30, 2025 for each investment type:
G. Custodial Credit Risk
For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its in vestments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. None of the City’s in vestments were subject to custodial credit risk for the current year.
H. Fair Value Hierarchy
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure fair value of the assets.

B. Advances To/From Other Funds
At June 30, 2025 the funds below had made advances which were not expected to be repaid within the next year.
In fiscal year 2006 the General Fund established repayment terms for its advance of $17,139,855 to the Port of Richmond Enterprise Fund to assist the Po rt with various lease transactions and other projects.
The advance did not bear interest for the first three years; the next five years it bore an interest rate of 4%, with the balance payable on or before June 30, 2015. The advance repayment terms were amended in October 2013, effective June 30, 2013, to convert the accrued unpaid interest of $745,119 to principal and reduce the advance balance by $842,877, and the advance no longer bears interest. Annual principal payments of $150,000 are due beginning June 30, 2 014 through June 30, 2066, with a final principal payment of $32,593 due on June 30, 2067, and in addition to those payments, the annual berthing cost of the vessel Red Oak Victory at the Port that is to be paid by the General Fund will instead offset and reduce the principal balance of the advance based on an established rental schedule. Historical rental payments from August 2004 to June 30, 2012 totaling $842,877 were applied to the principal balance of the loan as of June 30, 2013. Another provision of the amended agreement provides that upon the sale of any Port property, including Terminal One and Terminal Four, the proceeds from the sale are to be used to repay and reduce the principal balance of the advance. The balance of the advance as of June 30, 2025 is $7,502,950.
C. Transfers In/Out
With Council approval, resources may be transferred from one City fund to another. The purpose of the majority of the transfers is to move General Fund resources to provide funding for capital projects and an annual subsidy to non-major governmental funds, as well fund debt service. Transfers between funds during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 were as follows:
None of these transfers were unusual or non-recurring in nature.

B. Cash Reserve Policy
In fiscal year 2023, the City Council updated the fund balance policy to require the City to maintain a year-end contingency reserve balanc e of a minimum of 21% of the next year’s budgeted General Fund expenditures including transfer out. This is the minimum needed to maintain the City’s creditworthiness and to adequately provide for economic and legislative uncertainties, cash flow needs and contingencies.
A policy based upon percentage assures that the re serve will remain a prudent cushion as the City’s budgets grow over time.
City Council approval is required before any cash can be withdrawn from the reserve fund. The Council shall have the discretion to use the reserve for one-time emergencies only and not to be used for ongoing expenditures. At the time of City Council approval of any use of reserves, a stabilization policy laying out the plans for restoration of reserves must be simultaneously put in plac e and approved by City Council.
The City’s cash reserve as of June 30, 2025, which is a component of unassigned fund balance of the General Fund, is $62,824,919, which is approximately 24.16% of fiscal year 2025-26 budgeted General Fund expenditures including transfers out. As the City experiences net revenue gains in future years, the reserve balance must continue to be maintained at a minimum of 21% of total expenditures, following the stabilization policy, in order to allow the City to build up its capacity to handle future short term economic downturns or emergencies with minimal to no impact to City services.

A. California Public Employees’ Retirement System Pension Plans, Continued I. General Information about the CalPERS Pension Plan, Continued Beginning in fiscal year 2016, CalPERS collects employ er contributions for each Plan as a percentage of payroll for the normal cost portion as noted in the rates above and as a dollar amount for contributions toward the unfunded liability (UAL). The dollar amounts are billed on a monthly basis or can be prepaid in advance before July 31st to receive a savings of approximately 3%. In fiscal year 2022, the City started to prepay the unfunded liability on an annual basis. The City’s required contributions for the unfunded liability in the Miscellaneous and Safety Plans were $10,460,916 and $18,906,301 respectively, as noted in the tables above.
Employees Covered – As of the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuation date and the June 30, 2024 measurement date, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms for each Plan:
As of June 30, 2025, the City had 447 active em ployees in the Miscellane ous Plan and 196 active employees in the Safety Plan.
Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law 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. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an addition al amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actu arially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
Contributions for the measurement period were $16,375,065 for the Miscellaneous Plan and $25,280,643 for the Safety Plan.
II. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is meas ured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each Plan is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.

Actuarial Assumptions – For the measurement period ended June 30, 2024, the total pension liabilities were determined by the June 30, 2023 total pension liability. The June 30, 2024 total pension liabilities were based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 valuation were based on the results of 2023 actuarial experience study for the period 2001 to 2019. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the to tal pension liability for each Plan was 6.90%.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate for each Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Reti rement Fund (PERF) will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions fr om employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, each Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected futu re benefit payments of current plan members for all plans in the PERF. 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 for each Plan.
The long-term expected rate of return on pensio n plan investments was determined using a building- block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

In determining the long-term expected rate of retu rn, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension 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 long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long- term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both shor t-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 table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate 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.

IV. Pension Funding Policy & Section 115 Trust
In an effort to reduce Unfunded Actuarially Accrue d Liabilities (“UAL”) of the City’s pension plan, the City Council approved to establish a supplemental 115 Trust account on July 19, 2022. On June 27, 2023, the City adopted a Pension funding policy to place 10% of each year-end operating surplus (Total Actual Revenues minus Total Actual Expend itures, including Transfers In an d Transfers Out) in the General Fund in excess of the City’s Cash Reserve Policy into the Trust. The primary objectives of the policy are to: 1) Address the increasing annu al employer required UAL contribu tions due to variance in actual experience versus CalPERS actuarial assumptions including investment returns. 2)Prefunding the Trust Fund account can help the City improve its UAL fu nding ratio faster. 3)Provide budgetary flexibility during challenging budget years or to “smooth” payment spikes that could cause financial stress on the City.

I. Plan Descriptions and Funding Policies
The City administers two single-employer pension pl ans which are not considered to be funded as defined by GASB No. 67 and 68. These are the Gene ral Pension Plan and Police and Firemen’s Pension Plan (collectively, the “Plans”). The General Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan, covers three former City employees (or their beneficiaries) not covered by CalPERS, all of whom have retired. The Police and Firemen’s Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan, covers twelve retired police and fire personnel (or their beneficiaries) employed prior to October 1964. Benefit provisions for the Plans are established by City Ordinance. No separate financial statements are issued for the Plans.
The City established the Secured Pension Override Special Revenue Fund to which proceeds of a special incremental property tax levy voted by the citizens of the City of Richmond are credited for the payment of benefits under the City’s pension plans. The incremental property tax revenue received for the year ended June 30, 2025 was $28,292,298 and the City used the funds to pay General Pension Plan contributions of $0.
Police and Firemen’s Pension Plan – Funding for the Plan is provided from the Secured Pension Override Special Revenue Fund. Employees were vested after five years of service. Members of the Plan are allowed normal retirement benefits after 25 or more continuous years of service. The City is required under its charter to contribute the remaining amount s necessary to fund the Plan using the entry age- normal actuarial method as specified by Ordinance. Management of the Plan is vested in the Pension Board which consists of seven members: the Mayor, City Manager, Director of Finance, two members appointed by the Mayor, with the concurrence of four members of the City Council, each of whom shall be and remain a resident of the City in order to be a member of the Board and serve a term of five years, one representative of the Police Department and one representative of the Fire Department. The Plan is closed to new members. Retirement benefits for Pl an members are calculated as one-half of the annual s a l a r y a t t a c h e d t o t h e r a n k o r p o s i t i o n h e l d b y t he retiree one year prior to the date of retirement.
Surviving spouses receive 100% of the retiree’s pension. Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each member’s retirement allowance subsequent to the member’s retirement date. The annual adjustments are an increase each year for changes in the salary attached to the retiree’s rank in the year before retirement.

General Pension Plan – Retirement and other benefits are paid from the assets of the Plan and from related investment earnings. The City is required under its charter to contribute the remaining amounts necessary to fund the Plan using the entry age-norm al actuarial method as specified by Ordinance.
Management of the Plan is vested in the General Pe nsion Board which consists of seven members: the Mayor, City Manager, Director of Finance, two members appointed by the Mayor, with the concurrence of five members of the City Council, each of whom shall be and remain a resident of the City in order to be a member of the Board and serve a term of five years, and two members to be elected every five years by secret ballot vote of the rank and file of Plan employees and of Plan employees who have retired and are receiving pensions from the Plan. Four members of the General Pension Board are to be concurred in by four members.
The Plan is closed to new members. Retirement bene fits for Plan members are calculated as one-half of the average annual salary attached to the position held by the retiree during the three years prior to the date of retirement. Surviving spouses receive 100% of the retiree’s pension. Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each member’s retirement allowance subsequent to the member’s retirement date. The annual adjustments are an auto matic increase of 2% per year. City Council may grant additional increases of up to 3% per year to bring the total increase in a given year to 5%.
II. Significant Accounting Policies
City contributions for all plans are recognized when due and the City has made a formal commitment to provide contributions. Benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Administrative costs for all plans, except the investment management fees of the Police and Fireman’s Pension Plan, are paid by the City’s General Fund. The investment management fees are financed through investment earnings. Assets are valued at fair value based on available market information obtained from independent sources. 127

B. Funding Policy and Actuarial Assumptions
City OPEB Plan
Funding Policy – During the year ended June 30, 200 8, the City joined the Public Agencies Post- Retirement Health Care Defined Benefit Plan, an agen t multiple employer trust administered by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). The balance in the City’s PARS trust account as of June 30, 2025 was $56,551,061.
The City’s policy is to partially prefund these benefits by accumulating assets with PARS discussed above along with making pay-as-you-go payments pursuant to Resolution No. 52-06 of June 27, 2006. In July 2016, the City adopted its initial funding policy that requires the City to contribute 50% of year-end General Fund surplus in excess of th e City’s minimum required reserve level into the PARS account. In an effort to pay down the unfunded liability, in J anuary 2022, the City adopte d an additional funding policy that required the City to contribute 50% of any one-time General Fund revenues. Per the adopted policy, the City made a onetime contribution from FY2022 year surplus into the PARS account totaling $5,309,139 in Fiscal Year 2023. In June 2023, th e City updated the funding policy for additional contributions. Per the current policy the City shall place 10% of year-end operating surplus in the General Fund in excess of the City’s minimum required reserve level into the Trust accounts.

RPOA OPEB Plan
A new Richmond Police Officers Association (RPOA) contract was implemented on January 17, 2017.
The new RPOA plan includes members who were actively employed as of the January 17, 2017 contract date. The RPOA members were transferred from th e OPEB Plan to the new RPOA OPEB Plan during fiscal year 2025.
Funding Policy – The RPOA plan has assets designated for OPEB. These assets are invested in California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT) Strategy 2, which is a qualified irrevocable trust. Contributions to the CERBT account fall under the same policy as stated under the City OPEB plan. Per the surplus contribution policy, the City made a one-time contribution from the FY2022 year surplus into the CERBT account totaling $793,320 in FY2023. Benefit payments are not expected to be made from the trust in the near future. The City currently pays the annual retiree benefit payments using its general assets plus the annual active member contributions.
The balance in the CERBT trust account was $13,832,777 as of June 30, 2025.
Actuarial Assumptions – The total OPEB liability for each plan wa s determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 using standard update procedures. The City OPEB plan valuation used the following actuarial assumptions applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:

B. Funding Policy and Actuarial Assumptions, Continued
The RPOA OPEB Plan valuation used the following actuarial assumptions applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Discount rate – The discount rate used to measure the to tal City OPEB liability was 6.50% for the City OPEB Plan and 6.10% for the RPOA OPEB Plan. The proj ection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the City OPEB 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 City OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total City OPEB liability.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the liability discount rate be the single rate that reflects the following:
A. The long-term expected rate of return on City OPEB plan investments that are expected to be used to finance the payment of benefits, to the extent that (1) the City OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit payments and (2) City OPEB plan assets are expected to be invested using a strategy to achieve that return; and Actuarial Assumptions

City employees may defer a portion of their compensa tion under a City sponsored deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457.

Distributions may be made only at termination, retirement, death or in an emergency as defined by the plan.
The laws governing deferred compensati on plan assets require plan assets to be held by a Trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. Since the assets held under this plan are not the City’s property and are not subject to claims by general creditors of the City, they have been excluded from these financial statements.

16. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; general liability; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; natural disasters; and inverse condemnation. The City began self-insuring its workers’ compensation in 1976. In July 2009 the City joined the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA) for general liability and employment practices coverage. In April 2009 the City joined the California State Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC EIA) for worker’s compensation insurance. The City has chosen to establish a risk financ ing internal service fund where assets are accumulated for claim settlements and expenses associated with the above risks of loss up to certain limits.
Excess coverage for the risk categories excluding inverse condemnation is provided by policies with various commercial insurance carriers. Self-insurance and insurance company limits are as follows:
CJPRMA
The CJPRMA provides coverage against the following types of loss risks under the terms of a joint powers agreement with the City as follows:
Once the self-insured retention is exhausted on each claim, CJPRMA becomes responsible for payment of future expenses related to the claim. The City paid co ntributions of $4,147,823 for the year ended June 30, 2024. Actual surpluses or losses are shared according to a formula developed from overall loss costs and spread to member entities on a percentage basis after a retrospective rating.
Audited financial statements for the CJPRMA are available from CJPRMA, 3201 Doolan Road, Suite 285, Livermore, CA 94551.

Liability for Self-Insured Claims
The City records a liability to reflect an actuarial esti mate of ultimate uninsured losses for both general liability claims (including property damage claims) and workers’ compensation claims.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. Construction Commitments
The City’s future commitments under construction and other projects totaled approximately $238 million at June 30, 2025 for various projects.
B. Lease
The Police Department occupies leased premises owne d by DiCon Fiberoptics, Inc. The City’s original lease was a three-year lease which expired on December 31, 2009, and it had an option to extend for five additional one-year periods until December 31, 2014 . In October 2014, the City and DiCon Fiberoptics, Inc. entered into their first five-year lease amendment ("First Amendment to the Office Lease Agreement”) with the term commencing January 1, 2015 through De cember 31, 2019, with an option to renew for five additional one-year periods until December 31, 2024.
On November 21, 2024, the City entered into a “Second Amendment to the Office Lease Agreement” with DiCon Fiberoptics, Inc. extending the lease term for five years with five successive options each of one year to extend the Extended Term. During the initial five year extens ion, the Police Department will be billed a base rent of $140,870 and additional rent of $24,008 each calendar year. Beginning the sixth year, base rent will increase by a minimum of three percent up to a maximum of five percent.
C. Litigation
The City is involved in various claims and litigation resulting from its normal operations. The ultimate outcome of these matters is not presently determinable. In City management’s opinion these matters will not have a significant adverse effect on the City’s or RHA Properties’ financial position, except for what is noted below:
In March 2012, a developer and Native American Trib e (“Tribe”) (collectively, “Developer”) filed a complaint in federal court against the United States of America, two individuals, and the City contending breach of contract related to a Land Disposition Agreement (LDA) between the Developer and the City for the development of a portion of Point Molate (approximately 80 acres) for a specific use. The Developer sought damages of $30 million as well as lo st profits of over $750 million. The City disputed the allegations and contended that the LDA did not commit the Developer or the City to develop the property for the specific use and that the Develope r’s right to move forward with the development was subject to various federal approvals. The City received a favorable judgment on the matter, but an appeal by the Developer resulted in the Ninth Circuit reversing the decision. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint.
Under the terms of the judgment, amended in August 2019, future proceeds from the sale of the property will be shared equally between the City and the Developer.
Under the amended judgment, the City was requir ed to and did engage a new developer for the sale/transfer and development of Point Molate (“Su nCal”). SunCal ultimately failed to meet certain conditions to complete the transaction and close es crow in May 2022. SunCal filed an action against the City in or around June 2022 in connection with Poin t Molate seeking damages as well as taking title to the property.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued
C. Litigation, Continued
Separately, after the City approved SunCal’s proposed project and the CEQA-required environmental impact report for Point Molate’s development (“SEIR”), environmenta l rights groups challenged and filed appeals against the certification of SEIR. In No vember 2023, the appellate court set aside the SEIR and all “project related approvals”. Neither the City , SunCal, nor the Tribe took any subsequent action to correct the CEQA differences. Pursuant to that Sale, the City gives up to 50% share of sales proceeds under the Amended judgment and there are mutual waivers. By September 2025, the sale and transfer to the District was completed.
Further based on the decertification of the SEIR, in March 2025, the City prevailed in the SunCal action and obtained judgment, which SunCal immediately appealed.
While it appears that all matters under the Federal Judgment are satisfied, SunCal’s appeal of judgment in favor of the City remains ongoing. While the subject contracts were set aside based on the appellate CEQA ruling, and therefore the agreements at issue are invalidated, SunCal continues to press litigation claiming over $70 million lost profit dama ges and other claims that the City denies. The City no longer owns the subject property; the Tribe obtained title in 2022 under the Amended Judgment and completed the sale to the District. SunCal previously sought to enjoin the transfer to the Tribe but the Court refused to issue the injunction in or around August 2022. The pending appeal is to determine whether the trial court’s ruling dismissing SunCal’s action based on the CEQA decision was correct. If the court of appeals agree with SunCal, the case will be sent back to the trial court to litigate SunCal’s claims that may survive the CEQA ruling, e.g., that the City’s alleged failure to transfer the property to SunCal remains irrespective of CEQA. The City may be negatively impacted should the court ru le in favor of reopening the case. As stated, significant damages are sought, yet a good portion of the damages should be limited due to the CEQA ruling. The City also has strong defenses including the parties’ no damages contract clauses in the contracts and SunCal’s inability to close escrow. However, any such impact cannot be determined at this time, as SunCal’s appeal of its adverse judgment is underway. It is anticipated that a resolution of the appeal will be completed by the end of 2026.
D. Grant Programs
The City participates in several federal and state grant programs. These programs are subject to further examination by the grantors and the amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time.
E. Housing Authority – Easter Hill Project
The Authority participated in several federally assisted programs, principally the Low-Income Public Housing Program and the HOPE VI Revitalization Grant. Although future reviews may identify disallowed costs, the Authority does not expect any such amounts to materially affect the accompanying financial statements.
In June 2000, the Authority rece ived a $35 million HOPE VI grant from Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to revitalize the former 300- unit Easter Hill Public Housing Project, later renamed Richmond Village. The $120 million redevelopment was financed through multiple public and private partners, with approximately $108 million de dicated to physical improvements and $12 million to relocation, services, and administrative costs, resulting in approximately 320 new rental and 152

E. Housing Authority – Easter Hill Project, Continued homeownership units, a community center, and other amenities. McCormack Baron Salazar, Inc. and Em Johnson Interest, Inc. served as the development team, completing and leasing all rental units and constructing and selling all 82 homeownership un its. Upon completion, the Authority recorded $14,276,909 as reimbursement from the developer.
For Richmond Village, the Authority advanced RAD repositioning activities by completing the exit of the investor limited partner, executing a Memo randum of Understanding with McCormack Baron Salazar, Inc. and the Community Housing Development Corporation, securing the RAD Commitment to Housing Assistance Payments (CHAP) on December 3, 2024. The Authority and its partners pursued a RAD/Section 18 Small Public Housing Authority blen d conversion for Richmond Village I, II, and III and initiated required due-diligence activities – including the environmental review and Physical Needs Assessment – to support preparation of the RAD Financing Plan, anticipated for submission by September 2026. Point Molate – Pollution Remediation
F. Point Molate – Pollution Remediation
In September 2008, the City entered into an Early Transfer Cooperative Agreement (ETCA) with the United States Department of the Navy the (Navy) to facilitate the transfer of 41 acres of property that was formerly the Naval Fuel Depot Point Molate (Point Molate). The ETCA identifies certain known pollution issues with the property, and the Navy is the responsible party. However, under the provisions of the ETCA, the Navy advanced $28 million to the City representing the estimated cost of cleanup, and the City committed to manage the project. Any polluti on found that was not caused by the Navy’s use of the land is to be paid by the City, however, as of June 30, 2025, no additional pollution has been identified.
The City also entered into an agreement in Septembe r 2008 with a Developer to sell approximately 134 acres of land located on Point Molate along with the 41 acres of which the Navy is to transfer to the City.
The Developer is to complete the cleanup on behalf of the City in accordance with the requirements of the ETCA. The City committed to pass-through the funds received from the Navy to the Developer.
In April 2010, the City and Developer entered into an agreement to establish a fiscal agent escrow account to maintain the funds held for the remediation of Point Molate. The funds advanced by the Navy are to be held in escrow with a fiscal agent and the agent is responsible for disbursing funds to the Developer as costs are incurred. The terms of the agreement are e ffective until a certificate of completion is issued for the remediation of the property.
Under the terms of the agreements with the Navy and the Developer, the City does not retain responsibility for the cleanup of the known pollution. The City is merely acting as a pass-thru of the grant funds from the Navy to the Developer and the activiti es for the project are reported in the Pt. Molate Private-Purpose Trust Fund.

G. Other – Major Taxpayer
In fiscal year 2009, a major business license taxpayer filed a complaint challenging the legality of Measure T, a voter initiative that took effect on January 1, 2009. Measure T amended the City’s business license tax calculation for manufacturers. Although the City believed Measure T to be lawful, the court ruled on December 17, 2009 that the tax was unconstitutional . The court ruled in favor of the business license taxpayer awarding a refund of the $20.5 million Measure T taxes paid. The City filed an appeal, however in May 2010 the taxpayer and the City entered into a settlement agreement in order to achieve certainty in the tax revenue that the City w ill receive from the taxpayer over the next 15 years. The agreement provides for annual payments from the taxpayer rang ing from $4 million to $13 million starting July 1, 2011, with payments totaling $114 million. In addition , the agreement incorporated the prior settlement of a dispute over fiscal year 2006, 2007 and 2008 utility user’s taxes totaling $28 million that was paid in four installments beginning in fiscal year 2009. Payments totaling $114 million were received under the settlement agreements in fiscal years 2011 through 2025.
In August 2024, the City adopted a resolution that removed from the November 5, 2024 ballot a proposed business license tax on oil refining and a resolution that approved a tax settlement agreement between the City and the same business license taxpayer. With the tax settlement agreement, the taxpayer agreed to pay $550 million over the next ten years beginning in fiscal year 2026.
H. Marina Bay – Pollution Remediation
The Successor Agency owned a group of land tracts collectively referenced as the “Nine Deed Restricted Properties.” The Successor Agency was named as a responsible party at these sites under a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement with the State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to conduct pollution monitoring and remediation. However, the Successo r Agency received appr oval from the DOF to transfer the properties and their maintenance to the City on June 30, 2016. Therefore, the City is now the responsible party at the sites. These nine properties sit within the larger Marina Bay development site. A Remediation Action Plan (RAP) was prepared for Marina Bay in 1993 and included references to each of the Deed Restricted Properties.
Eight of the nine deed restricted properties are subject to an Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Plan. The O&M Plans require annual inspections of the cap material and reporting of the findings to DTSC. The O&M Plans also require that a five-year review report be prepared and submitted to DTSC. The five-year review reports describe the inspection and maintenance activities that were performed over the previous five years. The annual inspection costs are estimated at $15,500, with the five year review estimated at $41,000 (this cost includes revising a previously submitted work plan, conducting the review, and preparing the report). The monitoring costs over a five-year period are estimated at $135,000.
Additionally, costs for environmental consultation to address DTSC concerns at the nine deed restricted properties are estimated at $15,000 annually.

H. Marina Bay – Pollution Remediation, Continued
The RAP was subsequently amended in 2008 to addre ss Area T, one of the Nine Deed Restricted Properties. The amended RAP subjects the site to groundwater sampling and analysis. The approximate annual costs for the existing groundwater sampling and analysis program is $30,100. The known pollution at this site are petroleum hydrocarbons dissolved in groundwater. Active remediation was conducted from September 2008 through June 2020 by the former Redevelopment Agency and the Successor Agency and the active remediation has be en successful at removing a layer of petroleum hydrocarbons on the groundwater. However, the groundwater impacted with dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons is located in close proximity to the Ma rina Bay harbor. It is anticipated that DTSC will request that the Successor Agency submit a work plan describing the methods to petroleum hydrocarbons at Area T. Groundwater impacted by dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons is anticipated to be required by DTSC.
The Successor Agency requested that its consultant prepare a feasibility stu dy and cost analysis to conduct such remediation. The preliminary cost es timate to implement the groundwater remediation program is estimated at $135,000. A plan to maintain the cap on Area T will be prepared and the cost for this plan is $7,500. This preliminary estimate has not been accrued as a liability in the City’s Statement of Net Position. This estimate is also subject to change from price increases or reductions, technology, and changes in applicable laws or regulations.
A Covenant to Restrict Use of Property for Area FM, also one of the Nine Deed Restricted Properties, was recorded on March 21, 2005. As described in the deed restriction, the remedial alternative for Area FM includes installing and maintaining a temporary 1-foot-thick soil cap over the property as an interim measure; the final cap will consist of hardscape including commercial buildings, roadways, and parking areas. The deed restriction also requires the preparation of an O&M Plan. According to a DTSC- approved Remedial Design and Implementation Plan (RDIP) for Area FM, the proposed permanent cap will be implemented during site redevelopment acti vities and will consist of building foundations and slabs, paved walkways and parking areas, landscaping and other features constructed over the site. Site redevelopment has yet to occur, the interim temp orary cap has not been implemented, and the O&M Plan has yet to be prepared for Area FM. DTSC is re quiring the City to construct the temporary cap on Area FM. The City is preparing to construct a temporary asphalt cap to minimize surface water runoff and reduce routine maintenance and prepared a Work Plan Amendment for Construction of Temporary Asphalt Cap. Upon approval by DTSC, the City will install the temporary cap. The cost to prepare the planning documents, conduct observation, documentation, and reporting of the cap installation, as well as preparation of an O&M Plan is $176,800. The estima te cost to construct the temporary cap can’t be made at this time.
DTSC has also requested that the City provide do cumentation of the dredging conducted within the Marina Bay harbor. The cost to prepare the document is $1,500. DTSC has also requested that the City prepare and implement a work plan to conduct a supplemental subsurface investigation at Area FM. The scope of work includes: (1) installing and samplin g groundwater monitoring wells; (2) installing and sampling soil vapor probes; and (3) soil sampling. The cost to perform the supplemental investigation is not known at the time. Additionally, DTSC has requested that the City submit a real estate title report for Area FM.

19. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY DISSOLUTION AND SUCCESSOR AGENCY ACTIVITIES A. Redevelopment Dissolution
The State of California adopted ABx1 26 on June 28, 2011, amended by AB1484 on June 27, 2012, which suspended all new redevelopment activities except for limited specified activities as of that date and dissolved redevelopment agencies on January 31, 2012.
The suspension provisions prohibit all redevelopment agencies from a wide range of activities, including incurring new indebtedness or obligations, entering into or modifying agreements or contracts, acquiring or disposing of real property, taking actions to adopt or amend redevelopment plans and other similar actions, except actions required by law or to carry out existing enforceable obligations, as defined in ABx1
26. ABx1 26 and AB1484 created three regulatory authorit ies, the Successor Agency Oversight Board, State Controller and Department of Finance (DOF), to re view former Agency’s asset transfers, obligation payments and wind down activities. ABx1 26 specif ically directs the State Controller to review the activities of all redevelopment agencies to determine whether an asset transfer between an agency and any public agency occurred on or after January 1, 2011. If an asset transfer did occur and the public agency that received the asset is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of the asset, the legislation purports to require the State Controller to order the asset returned to the Redevelopment Agency or, on or af ter February 1, 2012, to the Successor Agency. The State Controller’s Office completed its asset transfer review in November 2013 and the State ordered the return of certain assets to the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency. The City complied with certain aspects of the State’s order during fiscal year 2013 by returning applicable capital assets to the Successor Agency and the Oversight Board retroactively approved other prior transfers to the City and the State has indicated that no further action is nece ssary. The State also ordered the return of assets previously transferred to the City as Housing Succe ssor totaling $16,460,848, because the transfer of the housing assets had not been approved by the Oversight Board. The Ov ersight Board adopted a Resolution on February 25, 2014 retroactively a pproving the transfer of the loans to the Housing Successor.
Effective January 31, 2012, the Redevelopment Ag ency was dissolved. Certain assets of the Redevelopment Agency Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund were distributed to a Housing Successor; and the remaining Redevelopment Agency assets and liabilities were distributed to a Successor Agency.
Under the provisions of AB 1484, the City can el ect to become the Housing Successor and retain the housing assets. The City elected to become the Housing Successor and on February 1, 2012, certain housing assets were transferred to the City’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund which is included in the Community Development and Loan Programs Special Revenue Fund. The activities of the Housing Successor are reported in the Low and Moderate Inco me Housing Asset Fund as the City has control of those assets, which may be used in accordance with the low and moderate income housing provisions of California Redevelopment Law.

A. Redevelopment Dissolution, Continued
The City also elected to become the Successor Agency and on February 1, 2012 the Redevelopment Agency’s remaining assets were distributed to and liabilities were assumed by the Successor Agency.
ABx1 26 requires the establishment of an Oversight Board to oversee the activities of the Successor Agency and one was established in April 2012. As of July 1, 2018, Contra Costa County has formed a county-wide Oversight Board to oversee the activities of all Successor Agencies within the County, including Richmond. The activities of the Successor Ag ency are subject to review and approval of the Oversight Board, which is comprised of seven members, including one member of City Council and one former Redevelopment Agency employee appointed by the Mayor.
AB1484 required the Successor Agency to complete two due diligence reviews – one for the low and moderate income housing assets of the Successor Agency (Housing DDR), and a second for all other balances of the Successor Agency (Non-housing DDR). The due diligence reviews were to calculate the balance of unencumbered balances as of June 30, 2012 available to be remitted to the County for disbursement to taxing entities. The Successor Agency submitted both due diligence reviews to the State Department of Finance for review and approval. The Department of Finance approved the Housing DDR, after making an adjustment, and the Successo r Agency remitted the unencumbered balance of $4,067,242 to the County in November 2014. The Department of Finance approved the Non-housing DDR in December 2014, and no funds were required to be remitted to the County. The Successor Agency received a Finding of Completion on December 9, 2014.
The activities of the Successor Agency are reported in the Successor Agency to the Richmond Community Redevelopment Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund as the activities are under the control of the Oversight Board. The City provides administrative services to the Su ccessor Agency to wind down the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency.
Cash and investments of the Successor Agency as of June 30, 2025 are discussed in Note 2 above.

Richmond Community Redevelopment Agency Subordinate Tax Allocation Bonds Series 2007A and Series B - Original Issue Series A $65,400,000, Series B $9,772,622 On July 12, 2007 the Redevelopment Agency issued Series 2007A Subordinate Tax Allocation Bonds in the amount of $65,400,000. The proceeds from the Bonds were used to pay the amount of $22,000,000 to the City to assist with the financing of the Civic Center Project, and to fund other Redevelopment Agency projects.
The 2007A Subordinate Tax Allocation Bonds were issu ed as variable auction rate bonds with interest calculated every thirty-five days, however, the Ag ency entered into a 29-year interest rate swap agreement for the entire amount of its 2007A Subord inate Tax Allocation Bonds. In fiscal year 2010 the Agency experienced a significant decline in tax increment revenue. In order to bring debt service in line with current revenues and maintain compliance with the required 1.4:1 tax increment to debt service coverage ratio, the Agency suspended a number of projects originally funded by the 2007A Bonds and applied approximately $36 million of the unspent 2007A proceeds and other available funds along with the proceeds from the issuance of the Subordinate Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series 2010A to refund the outstanding balance of the 2007A Bonds. As part of the issuance of the 2010A Bonds, the interest rate swap agreement associated with the 2007A Bonds was amended and restated as discussed with the Series 2010A Bonds below.
On July 12, 2007 the Redevelopment Agency issued Series 2007B Housing Set-Aside Subordinate Tax Allocation Capital Appreciation Bonds in the amount of $9,772,622 at interest rates ranging from 5.57% to 6.40%. The proceeds from the 2007B Bonds will be used to finance certain low and moderate income housing activities of the Redevelopment Agency. The 2007B Bonds mature annually through 2037, in amounts ranging from $465,000 to $2,020,000. The 2007B Bonds are secured by a pledge of subordinated housing and non-housing tax revenues.

On December 5, 2017, Kroll Bond Rating Agency downgraded its insurance financial strength rating for NPFGC from ‘AA+’ to ‘AA’ and subsequently withdrew the rating citing business reasons. On January 17, 2018, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) downgraded its insurance financial strength rating on NPFGC from ‘A3’ to ‘Baa2’. As a result of the foregoing, Moody’s downgraded its Insured Rating on the Bonds from ‘A3’ to ‘Baa2’.

BUDGET AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Budgeting Procedures
The City adopts a budget annually to be effective July 1, for the ensuing fiscal year. Budgeted expenditures are adopted through the passage of a resolution. This resolution constitutes the maximum authorized expenditures for the fiscal year and cannot legally be exceeded except by subsequent amendments of the budget by the City Council.
The City uses an encumbrance system as an extension of normal budgetary accounting for the General Fund, special revenue funds, and capital projects funds. Under this system, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of applicable appropriations. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are recorded as reservations of fund balance since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Outstanding encumbrances at year-end are reappropriated for the following year. Unencumbered and unexpended appropriations lapse at year- end.
An operating budget is adopted each fiscal year on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the General Fund, certain Special Revenue Funds (State Gas Tax, General Purpose, Paratransit Operations, Public Safety, Lighting and Landscaping Districts, Developer Impact Fees, Community Development and Loan Programs, Richmond Neighborhood Stabilization Corporation, Rent Program, Cost Recovery and Environmental Community Investment Agreement) and the debt service funds (Pension Obligation Bonds, General Debt Service and Civic Center Debt Service).
Public hearings are conducted on the proposed budgets to review all appropriations and sources of financing. Capital projects funds are budgeted on a project length basis and are therefore not comparable on an annual basis.
Expenditures are controlled at the fund level for all budgeted departments within the City. This is the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations. Budgeted amounts for the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances-Budget and Actual include budget amendments approved by City Council.
