SECTION 7: PRESENTATIONS
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Subject: Presentation Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority (StanRTA) From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Gabriela Hernandez, City Clerk/LRA Recorder
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive a presentation from Adam Barth, CEO with Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority (StanRTA).
SUMMARY:
On January 26, 2021 the Modesto City Council and the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors each approved the merger of Modesto Area Express (MAX) and Stanislaus Regional Transit (StaRT) forming the new Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority. The merger was recommended after a county-wide Transit Efficiency and Innovations Study was conducted in late 2019. The StanRTA was formed in July 2021 as a result of a joint powers agreement between MAX and StaRT.
StanRTA provides fixed route and demand response (ADA Paratransit, Dial-A-Ride, Shuttle and Medivan) services throughout Stanislaus County, as well as commuter service to the Amtrak station in Modesto, ACE station in Lathrop, Manteca Transit Center, Stockton Transit Center and Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. StanRTA is the primary provider of mass transportation in the suburban, rural and metropolitan areas of Stanislaus County, California. Fixed route service includes 27 routes that serve Ceres, Crows Landing, Escalon, Grayson, Gustine, Hickman, Hughson, Modesto, Newman, Oakdale, Patterson, Riverbank, Turlock, Waterford, and Westley.
In November 2021, StanRTA rebranded the combined system to "The S" with the slogan "Ride The S". A new simplified fare structure went into effect January 1, 2022 that streamlined the previous MAX and StaRT fares into uniform fares valid on all StanRTA routes and services.
As part of a Comprehensive Operational Analysis that was performed in 2022, StanRTA launched a systemwide service change as of March 5, 2023, which includes:
Item 7.1– CC/LRA 3/28/2023
• Added Sunday bus service
• Added 60-minute service frequency
• Bidirectional routes to improve on-time performance
• Three new routes (including Route 24 in Riverbank)

Item 9.3 – CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.3
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Subject: Resolution Opposing Initiative No. 21-0042A1, The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a resolution in opposition of Initiative No. 21-0042A1, the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act.
SUMMARY
On February 22, 2023 the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-018 which opposed this proposed Act which had yet to qualify for the 2024 ballot. The Act has now garnered sufficient signatures to be placed on the ballot and the League of California Cities has requested that cities renew their opposition to this act which will impact local government control over their revenues.
The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act would amend the California Constitution with provisions that limit voters’ authority and input, adopt new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and may make it more difficult to impose fines and penalties for violation of state and local laws.
The measure puts billions of local government tax and fee revenues at risk statewide with related core public service impacts.
The measure would have significant negative impacts on the City of Riverbank operations and core service delivery.
The proposed constitutional initiative is sponsored by the California Business Roundtable.
BACKGROUND
Item 9.3 – CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
On Jan. 4, 2022, the California Business Roundtable filed the “Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act” or AG# 21-0042A1. On Feb. 1, 2023, the measure qualified for the November 2024 ballot.
The League of California Cities, along with a broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses, strongly opposes this initiative.
Local government revenue-raising authority is currently substantially restricted by state statute and constitutional provisions, including the voter approved provisions of Proposition 13 of 1978, Proposition 218 of 1996, and Proposition 26 of 2010. The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act adds and expands restrictions on voters and local government tax and fee authority.
MAJOR PROVISIONS OF THE ACT
Fees and Charges:
• Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed “actual cost” is changed to “clear and convincing” evidence.
• Requires fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property and the amount paid to purchase or rent government property to be “reasonable.” These fees and charges are currently allowed to be market-based. Whether the amount is “reasonable” (introducing a new legal standard aiming to force below market fee and charge amounts) must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.” The standard may significantly reduce the amount large companies (e.g., oil, utilities, gas, railroads, garbage/refuse, cable, and other corporations) will pay for the use of local public property.
• Prohibits fees on new development based on vehicle miles traveled.
Taxes:
• Taxes and fees adopted after Jan. 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted.
• Invalidates Upland decision that allows a majority of local voters to pass special taxes. The measure specifies that taxes proposed by the initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. • Expressly prohibits local advisory measures which allow local voters to express a preference for how local general tax dollars should be spent. • Requires voter approval to expand existing taxes (e.g., Utility, Transient Occupancy) to new territory (e.g., annexations) or to expand the tax base (e.g., new utility service)
Item 9.3 – CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
• New taxes can only be imposed for a specific time period. • City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. • All state taxes require majority voter approval.
Fines and Penalties:
• May require voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties.
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND
Local governments levy a variety of fees and other charges to provide core public services. Major examples of affected fees and charges are:
• Nuisance abatement charges, such as for weed, rubbish, and general nuisance abatement to fund community safety, code enforcement, and neighborhood cleanup programs.
• Commercial franchise fees.
• Emergency response fees, such as in connection with DUI. • Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport charges.
• Document processing and duplication fees.
• Transit fees, tolls, parking fees, and public airport and harbor use fees. • Facility use charges, fees for parks and recreation services, garbage disposal tipping fees.
Virtually every city, county, and special district must regularly (e.g., annually) adopt increases to fee rates and charges and revise rate schedules to accommodate new users and activities. Most of these would be subject to new standards and limitations under threat of legal challenge. Based on the current volume of fees and charges imposed by local agencies, including council-adopted increases to simply accommodate inflation, Cal Cities estimates the amount of local government fee and charge revenue at risk is approximately $2 billion per year including those adopted since Jan. 1, 2022. Over ten years, $20 billion of local government fee and charge revenues will be at heightened legal peril.
Examples of Riverbank’s affected fees and charges include:
• Recreation Fees including, but not limited to, program fees and park/facility rental fees, and parking fees at Jacob Myers Park.
• Code Enforcement Administrative Fines, including fines for non-compliance, fireworks citation fees, etc.
• Document processing and duplication fees for records requests.
Hundreds of local tax measures were approved in 2022 that likely do not comply with the provisions of the initiative. Nearly $2 billion of annual revenues from these voter-approved measures will cease a year after the effective date of the measure, reducing the local
Item 9.3 – CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
public services funded by these measures, unless the tax is re-submitted for voter approval.
Reductions on local government tax revenues have impacts on core services and infrastructure including fire and emergency response, law enforcement, streets and roads, drinking water, sewer sanitation, parks, libraries, public schools, affordable housing, homelessness prevention, and mental health services.
Under existing law, cities are required to provide due process before imposing a penalty or fine for violation of its municipal code:
1. A local agency must adopt administrative procedures that govern imposing fines and penalties, including providing a reasonable period of time for a person responsible for a continuing violation to correct or remedy the violation [Gov't Code 53069.4].
2. Notice must be given to the violating party before imposing the penalty; and give the party an opportunity to be heard and present any facts or arguments [Merco Construction Engineers v. Los Angeles Unified School District (1969) 274 CA 2d 154, 166].
3. The fine may not be "excessive" [U.S. Constitution amendments VIII and XIV].
The initiative converts administratively-imposed fines and penalties into taxes unless a new, undefined, and ambiguous “adjudicatory due process” is followed. This provision may put at risk authority to impose fines and penalties for violations of state and local law.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This item is directly related to the City Council’s Strategic Plan goal to “Ensure Financial Stability”. The City’s ability to have local control over the adoption of new fees, within the confines of existing law, directly translates to its ability to provide services to residents.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact associated with the adoption of this Resolution. Any proposal which limits the City’s ability to have local control over revenues will impact it’s ability to provide local services.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF RIVERBANK, CALIFORNIA
OPPOSING INITIATIVE 21-0042A1 THE TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
THE CITY OF RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL (HEREAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE “CITY COUNCIL”) DOES HEREBY RESOLVE THAT:
WHEREAS, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations and developers is spending millions to push a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2024 statewide ballot; and
WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent; and WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure and our environment; and WHEREAS, the measure may make it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to local services at risk and could force cuts to fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Riverbank does hereby oppose Initiative 21-0042A1, and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Riverbank does hereby join the No on Initiative 21-0042A1 coalition, a growing coalition of public safety, education, labor, local government, and infrastructure groups throughout the state.

Fiscal and Program Effects of
Initiative 21-0042A1 on Local Governments
If Initiative 21-0042A1 is placed on the ballot and passed by voters, it will result in:
Over $20 billion of local government fee and charge revenues over 10 years placed at heightened legal peril. Related public service reductions across virtually every aspect of city, county, special district, and school services especially for drinking water, sewer sanitation, and public health and safety. About $2 billion of revenues each year from fees and charges adopted after January 1, 2021 subject to legal peril.
1 Over $2 billion dollars of annual revenues from dozens of tax measures approved by voters between January 1, 2022 and the effective date of the act2 subject to additional voter approval if not in compliance with the initiative.
Indeterminable legal and administrative burdens and costs on local government from new and more empowered legal challenges, and bureaucratic cost tracking requirements. The delay and deterrence of municipal annexations.
Substantially higher legal and administrative cost of public infrastructure financing which will delay and deter new residential and commercial development.
Service and infrastructure declines including in fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, drinking water, sewer sanitation, parks, libraries, public schools, affordable housing, homelessness prevention and mental health services.
1. Local Government Taxes and Services Threatened
With regard to taxes, Initiative 21-0042A1:
Prohibits advisory, non-binding measures as to use of tax proceeds on the same ballot. o Voters may be less informed and more likely to vote against measures. Eliminates the ability of special tax measures proposed by citizen initiative to be enacted by majority voter approval (Upland).3
o Because the case law regarding citizen initiative special taxes approved by majority vote (Upland) is so recent, it is unknown how common these sorts of measures might be in the future. This initiative would prohibit such measures after the effective date of the initiative. Any such measures adopted after January 1, 2022 through the effective date of the Act should it pass would be void a year after the effective date of the initiative. Requires that tax measures include a specific duration of time that the tax will be imposed. This seems to require that all tax increases or extensions contain a sunset (end date). o This would require additional tax measures to extend previously approved taxes. A city charter may not be amended to impose, extend, or increase a tax might interfere with the ability of cities that do not already have such authority in their charters to adopt Property Transfer Taxes. o There are no more than a few of these every few years, but it is a valuable tax for those that adopt it.
1 Assumes fee increases since January 1, 2022 would be subject to possible legal challenge if not adopted in compliance with the Initiative.
2 The effective date of the initiative would be sometime in December 2024, the date the California Secretary of State certifies the election results of the November 5, 2024 election.
3 Unlike the initiative 17-0050, this initiative does not eliminate that ability of cities and counties to adopt general taxes by majority voter approval.

Requires that a tax measure adopted after January 1, 2022 and before the effective date of the initiative that was not adopted in accordance with the measure be readopted in compliance with the measure or will be void twelve months after the effective date of the initiative. o If past election patterns and elections in 2022 are an indication, over 200 tax measures approving more than $2 billion annual revenues to support local public services would not be in compliance and would be subject to reenactment. Most will be taxes without a specific end date and special taxes (including parcel taxes). Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, the measures would each require declaration of emergency and unanimous vote of the governing board to be placed on a special election ballot within a year for approval or the tax will be void after that date. I would expect most to succeed, but some will not, in particular citizen initiative majority vote special taxes which would have to meet a higher voter approval threshold to continue. Requires voter approval to expand an existing tax to new territory (annexations). This would require additional tax measures and would deter annexations and land development in cities. o If a tax is "extended" to an annexed area without a vote after January 1, 2022, it will be void 12 months later until brought into compliance. Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, such extensions would each require unanimous vote of the agency board to be placed on a special election ballot or would be void a year later.
1.a. Number of Measures and Value of Local Taxes at Risk4 Over a hundred local measures were approved in 2022 that likely do not comply with the provisions of Initiative 21-0042A1. Nearly $2 billion of annual revenues from these voter approved measures will cease a year after the effective date of the measure, reducing the local public services funded by these measures. We can expect a similar volume of measures in 2024 and a similar volume of non-compliance. So the combined total of annual local funding directly affected by Initiative 21-0042A1 due to its retroactivity provision is about $4 billion.
Citizen Initiative Special Taxes in 2022.
Special taxes placed on the ballot by citizen initiative and approved after January 1, 2022 by a majority but less than two-thirds of the voters are out of compliance with Initiative 21-0042A1.
On June 7, 2022, there were three local special tax measures placed on the ballot by citizen initiative. Two failed to get majority voter approval. A one percent transactions and use tax (sales tax) for the John C. Fremont Healthcare District in Mariposa County received 69.6 percent approval, over the two thirds needed for any special tax under California Constitution Article XIIIC. So this measure was passed in compliance with Initiative 21- 0042A1.
On November 8, 2022, there were 14 local special taxes placed on the ballot by citizen initiative. Seven of these 4 Source: Compilation and summary of data from County elections offices.

measures failed with less than majority voter approval. The other seven measures received majority, but less than two-thirds, voter approval. These measures passed under current law but are out of compliance with Initiative 21- 0042A1. Taken together these seven taxes will provide estimated annual revenues of from $900,000 to $1.4 billion in support of parks and recreation, zoo, library, affordable housing, transportation, homelessness prevention, and schools in these communities.
Non-Specific Tax Durations in 2022
Voters approved 106 measures in June 2022 (10) and November 2022 (96) that do not provide a specific duration of time that the tax will be imposed (end date). Typically, the ballot titles for these measures state that the tax would be imposed “until ended by voters.” Four of these measures also did not include any estimate of the annual revenues that the tax would generate, another violation of initiative 21-0042A1. Taken together, these approved local measures generate $561 million per year that will expire a year after the effective date of the initiative if Initiative 21-0042A1 passes.

Co-temporal Advisory Measures in 2022
At the November 2022 election, there was just one local general tax measure that was accompanied by an advisory measure as to the use of funds. The City of Santa Monica’s Measure DT property transfer tax failed with just 34 percent approval as voters instead chose the citizen initiative Measure GS.
There was also just one such tax use advisory measure on the June 2022 election. Susanville’s voters passed Measure P, a 1 percent transactions and use (sales) tax that generates $1.75 million per year5 for general city services. The measure was accompanied by advisory Measure Q, accompanied the city’s It asked, “If Measure P passes, should the revenues be used to balance the budget to maintain and enhance existing public safety services (police and fire), and provide funding to support street infrastructure improvements and provide funding to support economic development efforts designed to increase businesses, jobs and visitors to Susanville?” Both measures passed. Under Initiative 21-0042A1, the tax will expire a year after the effective date of the initiative (i.e., in December 2025).
1.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Tax Provisions Assuming a similar volume of local measures through 2024 as we saw in 2022, there will be over 200 local measures that will need to be redrafted to comply with the Initiative and placed back on the ballot for the taxes to continue after December 2025. The costs of re-drafting, re-placing and re-voting on these measures, previously legally approved by voters, will be in the tens of millions in total statewide.
2. “Exempt Charges” (fees and charges that are not taxes) and Services Threatened With regard to fees and charges adopted after January 1, 2022, Initiative 21-0042A1:
Subjects new fees and charges for a product or service to a new "actual and reasonable test." Subjects fees and charges for entrance to local government property; and rental and sale of local government property to a new, undefined, “reasonable” test. Allows legal challenge to any tax adopted before the effective date of the initiative and after January 1, 5 The Susanville measure also did not include a specific end date and so is included in the list and totals of those measures.

2022. Such a lawsuit could enjoin (stop) the enactment of the tax pending the outcome of the legal challenge.
Subjects a challenged fee to new, higher burdens of proof if legally challenged.
2.a. Value on New Local Government Fees and Charges at Risk6 Virtually every city, county, and special district must regularly (e.g., annually) adopt increases to fee rates and charges and revise rate schedules to accommodate new users and activities. Most of these would be subject to new standards and limitations under threat of legal challenge. Based on the current volume of fees and charges imposed by local agencies and increases in those fees simply to accommodate inflation, the amount of local government fee and charge revenue placed at risk is about $2 billion per year including those adopted since January 1, 2022. Of $2 billion, about $900 million (45 percent) is for special districts, $800 million (40 percent) is cities, and $300 million (15 percent) is counties.7 Major examples of affected fees and charges are:
1. Certain water, sanitary sewer, wastewater, garbage, electric, gas service fees.
2. Nuisance abatement charges - such as for weed, rubbish and general nuisance abatement to fund community safety, code enforcement, and neighborhood cleanup programs.
3. Emergency response fees - such as in connection with DUI.
4. Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport charges.
5. Business improvement district charges.
6. Fees for processing of land use and development applications such as plan check fees, use permits, design review, environmental assessment, plan amendment, subdivision map changes.
7. Document processing and duplication fees.
8. Facility use charges, parking fees, tolls.
9. Fines, penalties.
10. Fees for parks and recreation services.
2.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Fee/Charge Provisions In addition to service delays and disruptions due to fee and charge revenues placed at greater legal risk, there would be substantial additional costs for legal defense. The risk to fees and charges will make infrastructure financing more difficult and will deter new residential and commercial development. ***********

Item 9.4 – CC/LRA – 03/28/2023
RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.4
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Subject: Resolution Awarding a Contract for Budgeting and Transparency Software to ClearGov, Inc. and Authorizing the Assistant City Manager Execute said Contract.
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted By: Tammy Alcantor, Assistant City Manager / Administrative Services Director
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a resolution that authorizes the following:
1. Award a contract for budgeting and transparency software to ClearGov, Inc., and
2. Authorize the Assistant City Manager to finalize & execute said contract.
SUMMARY
The 2022-23 Budget includes the allocation of $30,000 for budgeting software. Staff solicited demonstrations from four different software companies over the last several months. After evaluation of the demonstrations, the cost of each software, and input from users of each of the software staff feels that ClearGov Inc. will meet the City’s current and future needs.
BACKGROUND
Accurate and timely preparation of the Budget and other financial reports and analysis of related non-financial data is critical to successful City operations. Currently, the budget preparation and financial reporting process are cumbersome and time-consuming for staff. The largely manual budget process requires the Finance Department to spend several hundred hours each year on preparing, formatting, reviewing, re-formatting, and re-working related to the budget and other various reports.
Item 9.4 – CC/LRA – 03/28/2023
Currently, the staff relies on using a combination of Microsoft Excel and other products from the Microsoft Office Suite to tell the full story of the City’s finances. These tools have limitations in their ability to work collaboratively and dynamically with other departments and team members. The current setup does not easily compare or link financial data to performance metrics; the current process lacks quick & flexible filtering; it is sometimes difficult to aggregate data from different sources; and staff spends multiple hours formatting and reformatting data instead of using the time to analyze the data.
After participating in multiple demonstrations, staff has determined ClearGov best meets the City’s current and future needs in the areas of operating budget preparation, capital improvement program planning, personnel budgeting & negotiations, financial forecasting, and financial reporting with transparency. ClearGov also has a partnership with our current financial software, Caselle.
The ClearGov platform will allow staff to interact simultaneously by entering and modifying data in one centralized location, rather than the utilization of Excel spreadsheets. The platform will be linked directly to the City’s financial management system, providing timely and accurate access to critical financial data. Most importantly, this streamlined process minimizes the potential for human error.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This item is directly related to the City Council’s Mission “… provide transparency in all activities related to municipal finance and ensure that financial records are accurate, reliable and timely.”
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The software will be funded through the General Fund. For fiscal year 22-23 the cost for the software and implementation will be $12,000 with an annual cost of $26,400 for fiscal year 23-24. Future years will have a rate increase of 3% then 6%. The contract allows for cancelation in advance of a renewal period should funds not be appropriated. An allocation of $30,000 from the General Fund Reserves was appropriated in the 2022-23 Budget.

SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Addition of the Senior Planner Job Classification and Salary Range; and Amending the City of Riverbank Compensation Plan
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Cheryl Stefani, Human Resources Analyst
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council consider adopting a Resolution to authorize the Senior Planner Classification and Salary Range; and consider amending the City of Riverbank Compensation Plan for the addition of the classification and salary range.
SUMMARY
With continued development and growth in the City of Riverbank, the workload of the Planning and Building Department is near exceeding the amount of personnel available to address it. The new Senior Planner classification in the Mid-Management bargaining group is a strategic effort to: 1) provide succession planning in the Planning and Building Department in Development Services; 2) remain competitive in the recruitment of qualified planning personnel and 3) provide responsible staff assistance to the Planning and Building Manager.
BACKGROUND
In April 2022, the City ran an employment recruitment for an open Assistant-Associate Planner position in the Planning and Building Department, Development Services Department. After a 4-week open recruitment period, a total of five applications were received. Three applicants met the minimum qualifications for the position while one of the applicants possessed a strong background with extensive experience. However, after further review of the compensation range for the position, that applicant decided to withdraw their application to seek a higher salary.
Item 9.5 – CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
Due to the demands of the department, coupled with the lack of time available to train a new employee with less experience, the recruitment was cancelled with no interviews held, and it was determined the work in the Planning and Building Department would be temporarily contracted out. It was also realized that other municipalities and private agencies in the Planning field were experiencing a deficit of interested applicants for planning positions.
In order to remain competitive against other agencies in the recruiting of experienced planning personnel, the City of Riverbank has created the new position of Senior Planner.
This classification is between the Associate Planner position and the Planning and Building Manager position. The Senior Planner will be a mid-management exempt position responsible for exercising limited responsibility for planning, organizing, and directing the work activities of the City’s Planning and Building Department.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The approval of the Senior Planner job classification coincides with the City Council’s Strategic Plan Goal to: 1) Attract, Develop, and Retain Quality Staff.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed compensation salary range for the Senior Planner is Range 141 as follows:
Senior Planner
Salary Range Step A Step B Step C Step D Step E
141 - Monthly $6,571.97 $6,900.57 $7,245.60 $7,607.88 $7,988.27

On November 8, 2016 the Stanislaus County voters approved a ½ cent sales tax measure to fund local and regional transportation projects and programs. The tax is expected to generate approximately $39 million dollars a year over a 25- year period for Stanislaus County.
The City of Riverbank entered into a Master Funding Agreement with the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) and within that agreement the City agrees to provide StanCOG with a detailed project list for local streets and roads, traffic management and bicycle/pedestrian projects that are scheduled to be constructed with Measure L Funding. The projects identified on the Expenditure Plan Project List detail a comprehensive list of infrastructure improvements that the City has identified as priority projects. The last update to the list was approved by the City Council at the April 12, 2022 meeting. At that meeting it was stated that the project list would be reviewed annually and any changes or adjustments to the List would be brought before the City Council for approval. Also, all improvements or projects on this List will require City Council review and approval prior to construction.
Item 9.6 – CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS
Recognizing that streets are the backbone of our transportation system, the Plan provides funds to local cities and Stanislaus County, distributed primarily based on 2015 population to support local roads. These funds are used exclusively for repair and maintenance – no new road construction will be funded. These funds must be used to augment current transportation spending and cannot be used to replace a local agency’s general fund expenditures.
The City currently has approximately $1,937,980 in Measure L funding and an additional $1.2 Million expected through the end of the year for a total of $3,137,980.
Projects slated for this year utilizing these funds:
Overlay Project – Patterson Road – Claus to Eighth Street & First Street – Santa Fe Bridge to Atchison $ 839,566
Roselle Avenue Sidewalk – Match Monies $ 100,000
Signal at Patterson & Roselle – Revise Plans per BNSF $ 60,000 Pavement Restoration 2023 – Construction $ 740,000
Signal at Patterson & Snedigar – PE $ 60,000
Claribel Road Overlay – PE $ 30,000
Claribel Road Overlay – Construction $ 470,000
Riverside Drive between 3rd Street & 4th Street - PE $ 35,000 Oakdale Road Overlay – Patterson Road to Silver Rock $ 550,000 Howard Avenue Widening & Overlay – Patterson Road to Ward Ave. $ 45,000 TOTAL: $2,929,566
This will leave a reserve of approximately $208,414.
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
Traffic management projects can include upgrades to local intersections, road widening, signalization, bridge replacements and/or traffic calming methods.
The City currently has approximately $702,631 in Measure L funding and an additional $192,000 expected through the end of the year for a total of $894,631.
The project slated for this year utilizing these funds are as follows:
Callendar Avenue Pedestrian Project (Phase I) $ 430,217 Roselle & S. Rosebrook Intersection Improvements - PE $ 35,000 Roselle & S. Rosebrook Intersection Improvements – Construction $ 350,000 TOTAL: $ 815,217
This will leave a reserve of approximately $79,414
Item 9.6 – CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS
Bike and pedestrian improvements can include connectivity between communities, local schools, trails and recreation facilities.
The City currently has approximately $184,663 in Measure L funding and an additional $90,000 expected through the end of the year for a total of $274,663.
The projects slated for this year utilizing these funds are as follows:
Claus Road Sidewalk Project $ 180,587
Patterson Road Sidewalks between Hwy 108 & Roselle Avenue – PE $ 42,500 Squire Wells & Homewood – Street Light $ 15,000
Roselle Avenue Sidewalk (Westgate to Rosebrook over MID Canal) $ 35,000 TOTAL: $ 273,087

SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Subject: Resolution Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Kathleen Cleek, Development Services Administration Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a Resolution adopting a list of projects for fiscal Year 2023-2024 funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
SUMMARY
On April 28, 2017, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 1, which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The primary focus of the Bill is to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highways and local streets and roads system. Prior to receiving new Fiscal Year apportionments of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds from the California State Controller, the city must adopt a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds by resolution and submitted to the State by July 1 of each year.
The City is projected to receive $550,000 in RMRA funding for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 from SB 1. The City’s approximate balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2022-2023 will be $824,389 of which $520,694 is set aside for the Topeka Street Overlay Project (Callander – Jackson Avenue) and $157,180 for the Valley Gutter/ADA Improvements at Stanislaus and Seventh Street. The total amount the City will have available for projects is $1,374,389.
For Fiscal Year 2023-2024 we are purchasing some equipment that will allow Public Works City staff to crack seal and maintain our own roads instead of going out to bid and hiring a contractor. This will allow us to better utilize our funds and assist with our maintenance of effort requirements.
Item 9.7– CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
The projects and equipment the City has scheduled for this year are as follows:
Topeka Street Overlay – Callander to Jackson FY 2022-23 $ 520,694 Valley Gutter/ADA Improvements – Stanislaus & Seventh FY 2022-23 $ 157,180 Crack Seal Machine - FY 2023-2024 $ 100,000
Bobcat Attachments for Planer, Drum & Sweeper Bucket FY 2023-24 $ 30,000 Road & Storm Improvements – Palmer & Patterson and Sierra FY 2023-24 $ 300,000 Road & Storm Improvements – Patterson @ Ross Alley FY 2023-24 $ 160,000 Total $1,267,874
FINANCIAL IMPACT
SB-1 Streets & Roads funded projects totaling approximately $1,267,874.
The RMRA funds do require a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) from the City based on General Fund spending for street, road and highway purposes. City staff is continuing to work with the State to comply with the MOE requirements.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Recommendation for approval of the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 list of roads to be maintained is in line with the 2020-2025 Riverbank Strategic Plan goal to Improve Public Safety by maintaining safe and well-lit streets and roads.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a Resolution accepting the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 list of projects to be funded with Senate Bill (SB) 1 “The Road Repair and Accounting Act of 2017”.

From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Kathleen Cleek, Development Services Administration Manager RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution declaring its intention to annex territory to a City of Riverbank Community Facilities District 2016-1 (Public Services) and to authorize the levy of a special tax therein to finance certain City services.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
The attached resolution will begin the proceedings for the annexation into Community Facilities District 2016-1 (Public Services) (“CFD 2016-1”). The conditions of approval for this project require it to annex into CFD 2016-1, which was established as an annexable district to provide financing for police services, street maintenance, parks, storm drainage, and landscaping.
SUMMARY:
By Resolution No. 2016-028, the City Council established CFD 2016-1, a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District with the intention that future development within the City of Riverbank (the “City”) would annex into this district. The special taxes collected from the property owners within the district are to be used for the funding of police services, landscape maintenance, park maintenance, drainage maintenance, and street maintenance.
Item 9.8 – CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
The parcels proposed for annexation are generally located west of Central Avenue, east of Claus Road, and north of Patterson Road as well as generally located west of Central Avenue, east of Claus Road, and north of Kentucky Avenue.

Development of these properties change the characteristics of undeveloped land. Once developed, this project will have intensified the use of the property, creating a need for more services under this CFD.
As part of the annexation process, the City contracts with Willdan Financial Services for the preparation of the necessary resolutions and balloting procedures for the annexation.
The Resolution of Intention is the first step in the process of annexing new developments into CFD 2016-1. This will be the 2
nd annexation into the district. The resolution also
establishes May 9, 2023 as the public hearing date for the final consideration of the annexation of the property into CFD 2016-1. Once the annexation is complete, the property owners of the annexed parcels will be required to pay annual special taxes for CFD 2016-1, beginning in Fiscal Year 2023/2024 as itemized on their property tax bill in accordance with the rate set forth in the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.
The CFD 2016-1 Rate and Method of Apportionment was established as part of the formation of the district and fixed Fiscal Year 2016-2017 as the base year for the annual special tax rate as shown in Exhibit B. Since the formation, assessments have increased based on a cost inflator allowed in the original formation documents. The current special tax rate for the district is as shown in Exhibit C.

Item 9.9– CC/LRA 3/28/23
RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL/ LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.9
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Subject: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Riverbank, California, to Approve a Subdivision Improvement Agreement for Diamond Bar East with LGI Homes - California LLC and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Donna M. Kenney, Planning and Building Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider the attached resolution approving the Subdivision Improvement Agreement with LGI Homes – California LLC for Diamond Bar East and directing the City Manager to execute the agreement.
SUMMARY
On March 24, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-017, approving a general plan amendment to redesignate the 17.9 acres of Diamond Bar East to low density residential (LDR), which allows for a net density of zero to eight (0-8) dwelling units per acre.
On March 24, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-018 which approved tentative subdivision map 02-2014 (the “Diamond Bar East Tentative Map”) and related conditions of approval, which sets forth the infrastructure obligations and conditions related to the development and build out of approximately 17.9 acres.
On March 24, 2015, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2015-007 to approve a rezone of 17.9 acres to Planned Development (PD), allowing for a net density of zero to eight (0-8) dwelling units per acre.
On March 24, 2015, the City Council approved an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration in connection with its adoption of Ordinance No. 2015-017, which approved the Rezone for Diamond Bar East.
Item 9.9– CC/LRA 3/28/23
On April 28, 2020, the City Council with Ordinance No. 2020-007 adopted a Development Agreement with McRoy Wilbur Communities, Inc. to list and memorialize the developer’s and the City’s rights and responsibilities.
On January 26, 2022, LGI Homes – California, LLC entered into an Assumption and Assignment Agreement with McRoy Wilbur Communities, Inc. to assume the Diamond Bar East Development Agreement.
One of the last steps in the subdivision map process is the approval of a final map which subdivides the parcel into the individual lots planned for homes, streets, utilities, and parkland or other public areas. Commonly, there are two ways to achieve a final map. The first way is for the developer to install all required infrastructure improvements (roads, street lighting, water/sewer lines, etc.) in advance of requesting the final map.
The second way is to enter into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement (“SIA”) and submit bonds, which provide security for the City that the improvements will be completed as required by the tentative map conditions of approval. In the past, the City has used both methods depending on the individual needs and timelines of each project.
LGI Homes - California LLC has been working to install infrastructure improvements but they are not complete. They have requested that Council consider approving their final map (also agendized for this Council meeting). As such, the Riverbank Municipal Code (“RMC”) requires that a Subdivision Improvement Agreement be approved in advance of the approval of a final map.
Exhibit A is a standard Subdivision Improvement Agreement that lays out many of the bonding and insurance requirements set forth in the Riverbank Municipal Code. Specific items in the agreement have been tailored to fit the circumstances of Diamond Bar East.
Approval of this document will allow the developer to request final map consideration by Council.
The estimated cost of the required infrastructure improvements for Diamond Bar East are approximately $2,235,285.00. This estimate has been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. RMC §152.076 requires that two specific improvement securities be filed with the City: the first security (bond) shall secure faithful performance of the agreement in an amount equal to 100% of the estimated cost of the improvements and the second security shall secure the obligations set forth in Cal Govt. Code §66499.3(b) of payment of the contractor, his subcontractors and to persons renting equipment or furnishing labor or materials to them for the improvements, and shall be in an amount equal to 50% of the total estimated cost of the improvements. The Municipal Code provides a variety of options for developers to provide these securities, including the provision of bonds to the City Clerk. The City Attorney reviews these documents as to form. On March 6, 2023, the developer submitted both bonds to the City.
Item 9.9– CC/LRA 3/28/23
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact as a result of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement. However, approval of the SIA will allow the review and approval of the Final Map and facilitate the development of single-family residential units and associated amenities.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.11
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Subject: Adopt a Resolution Accepting the Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2020-2021
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted By: Tammy Alcantor, Assistant City Manager-Administrative Services Director
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a Resolution accepting the Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2020-2021.
SUMMARY
On an annual basis, all cities are required to perform a financial audit performed by an independent accounting firm. Due to the transition in financial software in 2015, the financial audit for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 was delayed for the completion of prior years.
The firm of Gallagher Gatewood (formerly Clendenin Bird & Company) has completed this financial audit and is being presented to the City Council for acceptance.
BACKGROUND
Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, require that all entities of local government, including special districts, undergo an annual review (audit) of their financial records. The purpose of this review is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements for these entities are free from material mistakes. These audits involve performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements. The audit firm makes an assessment of the risks that these statements include material misstatements, whether they are due to fraud or errors. The auditors make an assessment about whether the City has sufficient internal controls in place to ensure that there are no instances of fraud and to limit the opportunity for errors in the financial records.
Item 9.11– CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
For Fiscal Year 2020-2021 the City received an Unqualified Opinion, which states that the auditor feels the City followed all accounting rules appropriately and that the financial reports are an accurate representation of the City’s financial condition.
The Annual Financial Reports begin with a Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) prepared by City staff which highlights important details included in the Financial Statements. In reviewing the Annual Financial Report, this MD&A provides the general public with an overview of the financial status of the City, including those factors that may have contributed to positive or negative changes to the City’s financial position.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), which is the body that oversees all accounting standards for governmental agencies, requires that financial statements be presented in 2 different ways:
1. Government-Wide Financial Statements which reports information about the City as a whole, and provides viewers with a broad overview of the City’s finances.
These reports are similar to those issued by a private company, and
2. Fund Financial Statements which provide detailed information about the City’s most significant funds and not the City as a whole.
In reviewing and evaluating the financial status of the City, the Statement of Net Position (a government-wide financial statement) on page 13 of each report will serve as a useful indicator as to whether the City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating. This Statement of Net Position is divided into two categories:
1. Governmental Activities, which includes police, public works, community development, grants and special programs, and general government. Taxes and intergovernmental revenues such as sales tax, property tax, vehicle license fees, user fees, franchise fees, and federal and state grants primarily finance these activities, and
2. Proprietary Activities, which include the City’s water and sewer systems, in addition to the City’s Community Center and the LRA. Fees and rents are charged to customers to help cover the cost of the services it provides.
Under the Fund Financial Statements, major funds are grouped together based on specific activities, all other funds are shown under “Other Funds.” Page 16 of the report provides information regarding the major fund groups of the City, including the General Fund, CDBG (Federal & State Grants), Successor RDA LMI Housing, and System Development Fees.
As stated before, major funds are grouped together under one heading. For example, the “General Fund” groups together Fund 101 (General Fund), Fund 201 (Benefit Liabilities Fund), Fund 119 (Fleet Services) and Fund 134 (Recreation Fund).
OVERALL NET POSITION
Overall, the City’s Net Position increased by 2.3% over the 2019-2020 fiscal year. This was primarily due to the increase in Sales Tax, Property Tax, and Charges for services
Item 9.11– CC/LRA – 3/28/2023
related to Public Works. Revenues for the City’s Governmental and Proprietary Funds exceeded expenditures for the fiscal year by approximately $7,300,000 (as noted on Page 15 of the report thereby increasing unrestricted funds available. The City’s General Fund ended with an increase of 51% in “unassigned” fund balance.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This report is in alignment with the City Council’s Strategic Plan Goal to “Ensure Financial Stability.”
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact associated with the acceptance of these reports.

To The City Council
City Of Riverbank
State of California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the aggregate discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Riverbank, State of California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
2 Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the aggregate discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Riverbank, State of California as of June 30, 2021, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 3 through 12 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Riverbank, State of California’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual non-major fund financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements.
The combining and individual non-major fund financial statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

The City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 are presented in accordance with GASB 34. Please read Management’s Discussion and Analysis in conjunction with the City’s financial statements, notes, and supplementary schedules.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The City’s governmental activities total assets exceeded liabilities (net position) at the close of the fiscal year by $83,704,724. Of this amount, $3,887,151 is in unrestricted net position, which is available to meet the City’s ongoing financial obligations. The total assets of the businesstype activities exceeded its liabilities (net position) by $34,338,721. Of this amount, $13,290,748 was unrestricted.
Governmental revenues exceeded General and program expenses by $1,961,428. City program expenses totaled $15,761,104 for the fiscal year 2020-2021, an increase of 1% over the 2019-20 Fiscal Year. Public Works costs comprised $5,665,116 or 36% of the total expenses, whereas Public Safety comprised 35% of expenditures.
In the City’s business-type activities (which include the Water, Sewer, Community Center and Local Redevelopment Funds), revenues exceeded expenses by $5,352,574. The City’s General Fund ended the year with a fund balance of $9,379,318. This is an increase of 20.6% from the year ending June 30, 2020.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. These statements include all activities of the City of Riverbank using the integrated approach as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34. The government-wide Statement of Net position and Statement of Activities provide information about the activities of the City as a whole and present a long-term view of the City’s finances. Fund financial statements show how City services are financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the City’s operations in more detail than the governmentwide statements by providing information about the City’s most significant funds.
REPORTING THE CITY AS A WHOLE
Government-wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements report information about the City as a whole, providing readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances.
These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting method used by most private sector companies. All the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account in the statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid.
CITY OF RIVERBANK
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
(UNAUDITED)
4 The statement of net position presents information on all the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator as to whether the City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of changes in net position presents information showing how the City’s net position changed in the most recent 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 related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported on this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes, and earned but unused vacation leave). Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net position can be an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively. To assess the overall health of the City you need to consider additional non-financial factors such as changes in the City’s property tax base and the condition of the City’s roads.
The government-wide financial statements of the City are divided into two categories:
Governmental Activities: Includes police, public works, community development (building and planning), grants and special programs, and general government. Taxes and intergovernmental revenues such as sales tax, property tax, vehicle license fees, user fees, franchise fees, and federal and state grants primarily finance these activities. Business-type activities include the City’s water and sewer systems, in addition to the City’s Community Center and the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA). Fees are charged to customers, including lease revenue, to help cover the costs of the services it provides.
REPORTING THE CITY’S MOST SIGNIFICANT FUNDS
Fund Financial Statements. The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City’s most significant funds – not the City as a whole. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives.
Some funds are required to be established by State law or by bond covenants. Management establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or to show the City is meeting legal responsibilities for the use of certain taxes, grants, and other resources. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focuses on how money flows in and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial resources that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed, short-term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs.

5 Because the focus of the governmental funds is narrower than that of the governmental-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for the governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The differences in results in the governmental funds financial statements to those in the government-wide financial statement are shown in reconciliations following the governmental funds financial statements.
Fiduciary funds—Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the City’s government-wide financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations.
Proprietary funds – Services for which the City charges customers a fee are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds, like government-wide statements, provide both long and shortterm financial information. The City’s proprietary funds are the same as its business-type activities, but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows.

6 Of the total net position for both the Governmental and Business-type activities, $72,660,555 or 61.6% reflects the City’s investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings and improvements, vehicles and equipment, infrastructure) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; and consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
Restricted net position amounts to $28,204,991 or 24% of the total. Restricted net positions are those resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. These restrictions are established by bond covenants or restrictions on the use of funds established by state or federal regulations.
Unrestricted net position is those resources that may be used to meet the City’s ongoing commitments to citizens and creditors. Government-wide unrestricted net position is $17,177,899 or 14.6% of the total net position.
Changes in Net Position. Total revenues for the year exceeded expenditures by $7,314,002. Below is a table showing the Governmental and Proprietary Activities of the City for the year ending June 30, 2021, as compared to the year ending June 30, 2020.

8 Business-type Activities
Revenues of the City’s business-type activities were $14,453,201 a 34.6% increase from Fiscal Year 2019-20 as a result of an increase in revenues received for water & sewer charges to residents/commercial business through the re-implementation of consumption billing.
Expenditures for the year were $9,100,627. Expenditures for the business-type activities decreased by 6% from the prior fiscal year.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with financerelated legal requirements.
The City’s governmental funds ended the year with a combined fund balance of $37,584,309. Of the total combined fund balance, 1% is classified as Nonspendable, 55% is classified as Restricted, 19% is classified as Assigned, and 25% is Unassigned. Major fund changes from June 30, 2020, to June 30, 2021 are noted below and are also noted on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances on pages 19-20 of this report:
General Fund
The City experienced an overall increase of 14% in its General Fund revenues during the 2020- 21 fiscal year. Major factors, contributing to this increase are noted below. Sales tax for the City experienced an increase of 34%. This was primarily due to the fact that in the prior fiscal year, we were still experiencing the effects of COVID-19. Revenues from Licenses and Permits increased by 50%. New housing developments in the City have generated additional building permit revenue. Fines and Forfeiture revenues decreased by 40% as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The City Council waived all penalties and late fees for utility billings for residential and commercial customers which resulted in a loss of revenue. Service Charges increased by 18% as the city’s programs and parks were closed the prior year due to the Emergency Health Orders issued by the State of California and Stanislaus County to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and this fiscal year we did see some of those restricts begin to be lifted.
General Fund expenditures increased by 2.5% during the 2020-21 Fiscal Year. Major factors contributing to this increase in General Fund expenditures include:
Public Safety Expenditures increased by 5.0% due to contract inflation increases and first full year of the addition of a Community Resource Officer to the staff at Riverbank Police Services. There was also a small remodel project of the facilities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(UNAUDITED)
9 Capital outlay for the General Fund decreased by 25.2% as in the prior fiscal year there had been additional funds allocated from the Public Benefit Fund to address work at the Riverbank Community Center.
CDBG Fund
The CDBG Fund experienced a decrease in revenues due to a decrease in interest income and the prior fiscal year had homeowners who were able to bring accounts to date that had the reversal of loans receivable that were flagged as a bad debt due to potential foreclosure.
Successor RDA LMI Housing Fund
On December 29, 2011 the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1x26 (“the Bill”) that provided for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California effective February 1, 2012. This action impacted the reporting entity of the City of Riverbank that previously had reported a redevelopment agency within the reporting entity of the City as a blended component unit.
The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the city or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. The City elected not to become this successor agency therefore another designated authority, the Riverbank Designated Local Authority, was formed by the State of California to serve as successor agency to the now-dissolved Riverbank Redevelopment Agency.
However, the City did elect to serve as the Housing Successor Agency of the former RDA. As successor agency, the City now holds a loan receivable for a $3.2 million loan provided to Pacific West Associates for the construction of a 65-unit apartment complex completed in 2009. In addition, the City is now entitled to receive annual interest payments and a Payment in Lieu of Taxes from this project.
GASB Statement No. 68
The City of Riverbank has implemented GASB Statement No. 68 as required. With the new reporting change, the City is allocated its proportionate share of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System’s net pension assets, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and pension expense. Decisions regarding the allocations are made by the administration of the pension plan, not by the City of Riverbank’s management.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
For the City’s General Fund, actual ending revenues of $9,833,137 were mainly comprised of Sales Tax, Property Taxes, Other Taxes & Franchise Fees, and Service Charges. Net Revenues received were $1,233,337 over budget. Below are some of the major reasons:
Sales Tax was over budget by $1,340,844, an unanticipated increase while the City was still adjusting to the COVID-19 pandemic and changing the health restrictions.

11 LONG TERM DEBT
At year-end, the City’s governmental activities had $277,989 in compensated absences. Compensated absences consist of vacation time and compensatory time off that has been earned by employees but has not yet been taken. Compensated absences are due and payable to an employee upon separation if any balance exists.
Business-type activities, at year-end, had $5,029,177 in outstanding long-term debt. This long-term debt is comprised of Compensated Absences, Sewer Revenue Bonds, the State Revolving Fund Loan from the State of California for improvements to the Waste Water Treatment Plant, and the Master Lease Agreement with Wells Fargo to fund a city-wide water meter upgrade project. Total debt was reduced during the year by the amount of the current debt principal payments.

The City’s long-term liabilities, except for compensated absences, relate to the acquisition and construction/remodel of capital assets. These capital assets are utilized to provide services to citizens and are not available for future spending. The repayment of the debt on these assets must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S GENERAL FUND BUDGET
Due to the economic uncertainty surrounding the State of California’s financial condition, the City’s management has taken a position of conservative revenue projection while maintaining existing departmental spending limits.
In preparing the budget for the 2021-2022 fiscal year, City Management looked at the following factors:
REVENUE
The City continues to see growth in new housing development. As these properties are sold they are added to the tax rolls which increase the total assessed values. The Certified Assessed Values are the basis on which Property Taxes are calculated. Therefore an increase
CITY OF RIVERBANK
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
(UNAUDITED)
12 in revenue is anticipated for the following Property Tax related revenues: Property Tax Current Secured & Unsecured, Property Tax in Lieu of VLF.
The City’s sales tax continued to grow despite the challenges presented as part of the COVID19 pandemic. For the 21-22 fiscal year, the City has anticipated growth of 16% over the prior year.
Overall, General Fund revenues are anticipated to increase by 7.1% during the 2021-22 fiscal year in comparison to the prior fiscal year budget due to increases in revenue sources such as Building Permits, Sales Tax, and Franchise Fees.
EXPENDITURES
Fiscal Year 20-21 was the final year of the settlement payments due to the litigation regarding the City’s skate park. Therefore, the FY 21-22 Annual Budgets has taken into account the savings of approximately $125,000 per year.
The City added a Community Resource Deputy to the law enforcement staff to serve the City of Riverbank. In addition, the County performed several staff reclassifications in an effort to retain current Sheriff staffing levels thus increasing contract cost by approximately $585,000. Increases to salary and benefit costs as a result of the negotiated labor contract with the City’s two labor groups. For the 2021-22 fiscal year, both groups are entitled to a 2% cost of living adjustment.
Total operational and capital budgeted revenues and expenses for all funds for the 2021-2022 Fiscal Year are $20,403,400 and $24,625,600 respectively, excluding Inter-fund Transfers In and Out.
Structural deficits (where expenditures exceed revenues) were anticipated in the following funds:
General Fund, Gas Tax Fund, Weed Abatement Fund, Assessment District Fund, Teen Center Fund, System Development Streets/PW Fund, System Development Storm Drainage Fund, System Development Parks & Recreation Fund, HCD Old Program Income Fund, HCD CDBG Fund, HCD HOME Fund, HCD Cal-Home Fund, LMI Housing Asset Fund, System Development Waste Water Fund, Water Operating Fund, and Water Capital Improvement Fund. The City Council has authorized for the deficits to be paid via ending reserve balances from the 2020-21 fiscal year. Several of these allocations from reserve funds are due to the fact that funds must be spent during a certain time frame.

The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales, trade-ins and contributions) is to increase net assets. 0 The net change in pension expense either contributed to pension plan in current fiscal year not included on statement of activities; or expenses reported in statement of activities that do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. 292,157) ( Changes in net position of governmental activities 1,961,428

JUNE 30, 2021
32 I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the City of Riverbank, California (City) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. In June 1999, the GASB unanimously approved Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments. Certain of the significant changes in the Statement include the following:
A Management and Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section providing an analysis of the City’s overall financial position and results of operations. Financial statements prepared using the full accrual accounting for all of the City’s activities, except for infrastructure (roads, streets, bridges, etc.) A change in the fund financial statements to focus on the major funds.
These and other changes are reflected in the accompanying financial statements (including notes to financial statements). The more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described below:
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The accompanying basic financial statements present the financial activity of the City of Riverbank (primary government) and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government’s operations. Discretely presented component units represent other legally separate organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable or for which the nature and significance of their relationship to the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the City’s reporting entity to be misleading or incomplete. The City’s component units are blended; there are no discretely presented component units in the Financial Reporting Entity.
City of Riverbank
The City (primary government) was incorporated in 1922 under the general laws of the State of California. The City provides the full range of municipal services as contemplated by statute.
Services provided include sewer, water, public safety (police), street construction and maintenance, culture-recreation, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative and support services. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The City Council consists of five members elected at large for overlapping four year terms. The City Council appoints a City Administrator and City Attorney.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021
33 City of Riverbank – continued
In addition to sitting as the governing board of the City, the City Council also acts as the Board of Directors of one blended component unit: the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Riverbank through January 31, 2012. On February 1, 2012 all Redevelopment Agencies (RDA) statewide were dissolved. The City elected to be the Successor Agency for the Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund. The general RDA Fund was transferred to the Riverbank Local Designated Authority, a separate entity created by the State when the City did not elect to be the Successor Agency for that fund. The Successor Agency Fund is now reported as a special revenue on the City’s financial statements.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of changes in net position) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
CITY OF RIVERBANK
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021
34 C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation – continued Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes and taxpayer-assessed tax revenues (e.g., franchise taxes, sales taxes, motor vehicle fees, etc.) net of estimated refunds and uncollectible amounts, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered measurable and available only when cash is received by the City. The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
CDBG Fund - To account for federal grants and other monies received and disbursed under the Housing and Community Development Act, to assist low and moderate income groups in obtaining loans to purchase their first home and rehabilitate or revitalize their homes.
Systems Development Fund - To account for development impact fees collected. These fees are used for infrastructure and capital expenditure resulting from new developments.
Successor RDA LMI Housing Fund – This fund was created when the City elected to assume the housing function previously performed by the Redevelopment Agency. The noncash assets and encumbered cash of the Redevelopment LMI Housing Fund were transferred to this Fund.
The city reports the following major proprietary funds.
The Water Fund accounts for the activities of the City’s water service.
The Sewer Fund accounts for the activities of the City’s sewer service.
The Community Center Fund accounts for the activities of the City’s Community Center service.

35 C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation – continued The Local Redevelopment Authority Fund accounts for the activities of the City’s Ammunition Factory services.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
The County Impact Fee Agency Fund, accounts for impact fees which are collected on behalf of Stanislaus County.
The Assessment District 1991-1 Agency Fund, accounts for the collection of assessments and payment of debt service on behalf of the District.
The Redevelopment Agency Fund, accounts for the collection of property tax revenues used for the administration of the agency and development projects within the designated redevelopment area.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989 generally are followed in the government-wide financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the GASB.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers and applicants, for goods, services or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions and 3) capital grants and contributions. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing goods and services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principle operating revenues of the enterprise and internal service funds are charges for sales and services.
Operating expenses for enterprise funds include salaries and employee benefits, maintenance and operation of systems and facilities, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources, as they are needed.

In order to maximize the flexibility of its investment program and to aid in cash budgeting, the City pools the cash of all funds, except for monies deposited with fiscal agents in accordance with related bond indentures. The cash and investments balance in each fund represents that fund’s equity share of the City’s cash and investment pool. As the City places no restrictions on the deposit or withdrawal of a particular fund’s equity in the pool, the pool operates like a demand deposit account for the participating funds.
Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated quarterly. Interest income on restricted cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.
In accordance with the State of California Government Code, the City adopts an investment policy annually that, among other things, authorizes types of investments. Authorized investments include:
Securities of the U.S. government or its agencies
Certificates of Deposit (or time deposits) placed with commercial banks and/or savings and loan associations
Bankers Acceptances
State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Repurchase Agreements
Passbook savings account demand deposits
Mutual Funds
High Grade Commercial Paper (A-1 and P-1 Rated)
Investments for the City are reported at fair value. LAIF operates in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the city has defined cash and cash equivalents to be change and petty cash funds, equity in the City’s cash and investment pool and restricted, nonpooled investment with initial maturities of three months or less.
2. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "interfund receivables/payables" (i.e. the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e. the non-current portion of interfund loans).
All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds”.

JUNE 30, 2021
37 2. Receivables and Payables (continued)
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All trade and tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts and estimated refunds due.
3. Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied on the first day of March by the county assessor, and are payable to the county tax collector in two installments. The first installment is due November 1st, and is delinquent on December 10th, the second installment is due February 1st and is delinquent on April 10th.
Taxes become a lien on the property on March 1st, and on the date of transfer of title, and the date of new construction. The minimum property value which is taxed is $2,000; however, tax bills are prepared for properties valued at less than $2,000 if there is a special assessment to be collected.
Article 13A of the California Constitution states, "The maximum amount of any ad valorem tax on real property shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the full cash value of such property. The one percent tax is to be collected by the counties and apportioned according to law to the districts within the counties."
The City has elected under state law (TEETER) to receive all of the annual property assessments in three installments as follows:
December 55%
April 40%
June 5%
100%
4. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
5. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants.

38 6. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, bridges, sidewalks, traffic lights and signals, street lights and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of $1,000 for property, plant and equipment and $25,000 for infrastructure. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlay for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Depreciation is recorded in the in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service life using the straight-line method. Assets are depreciated from 3 to 50 years.
7. Compensated Absences
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave benefits. All vacation and sick leave benefits are accrued as earned by employees. All vacation and sick leave pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in the governmental and proprietary funds.
8. Pensions
For purposes of liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City of Riverbank’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
9. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method.
Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs,

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

39 9. Long-Term Obligations (continued)
whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
10. Net Position and Fund Equity
In the government-wide financial statements, net position are reported in three categories: net position invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted net position and unrestricted net position. Restricted net position represent net position restricted by parties outside the City (such as creditors, grantors, contributors, laws and regulations of other governments) and include unspent proceeds of bonds issued to acquire or construct capital assets. The City’s other restricted net position are temporarily restricted (ultimately expendable assets). All other net position are considered unrestricted.
In the fund financial statements, fund balance is reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. The classifications of fund balance are Non-spendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Non-spendable and Restricted fund balances represent the restricted classifications, and Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned represent the unrestricted classifications.
Non-spendable fund balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because either 1) it is not in a spendable form, such as inventory or prepaid items or 2) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted fund balance includes amounts that are constrained for specific purposes which are externally (outside the City) imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws and regulations of other governments, or laws through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance includes amounts that are constrained for specified purpose that are internally imposed by the government through formal action of the highest level of decision making authority and does not lapse at year-end.
Assigned fund balance represents limitations imposed by management. Unassigned fund balance represents the residual net resources in excess of the other classifications. The General Fund is the only fund that can report a positive unassigned fund balance and any governmental fund can report a negative unassigned fund balance.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for specific expenditures, restricted resources are considered spent before unrestricted resources, unless there are legal documents/contracts that prohibit doing this, such as a grant agreement requiring dollar for dollar spending. Within unrestricted resources, committed and assigned are considered spent (if available) before unassigned amounts.

42 A. Cash And Investments (continued)
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. As of year-end, the weighted average maturity of the investments contained in the LAIF investment pool is approximately 6.16 months.
Maturity Date
State investment pool 5,855,234 9.58 months average maturity Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer 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. LAIF does not have a rating provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments.
CITY OF RIVERBANK
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021
43 Custodial Credit Risk (continued)
With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government’s indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as LAIF).
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Cash with Fiscal Agent
The City maintains cash and investments which are restricted under the terms of various debt agreements. The money is included in the City’s pooled cash and investment program. Restricted cash and investments as of June 30, 2021 is $0.00.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The City deposits deferred compensation plan assets with the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). Federal legislation requires that the assets of such plans be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the plan participants and their beneficiaries. PERS act as the trustees for the plan assets and the City is considered to have limited fiduciary responsibility for the plan assets. As such, the City does not report the deferred compensation plan assets on its financial statements.

51 IV. OTHER INFORMATION
A. Risk Management
The City of Riverbank participates with other public entities in a joint exercise of powers agreement, which establishes the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA). The relationship between the City and CSJVRMA is such that CSJVRMA is not a component unit of the City for financial reporting purposes.
The City is covered for the first $1,000,000 of each general liability claim and $250,000 of each workers’ compensation claim through the CSJVRMA. The City has the right to receive dividends or the obligation to pay assessments based on a formula which, among other expenses, charges the City’s account for liability losses under $10,000 and workers’ compensation losses under $10,000.
The CSJVRMA participates in an excess pool which provides general liability coverage from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000. The CSJVRMA participates in an excess pool that provides workers’ compensation coverage from $250,000 to $500,000 and purchases excess insurance above the $500,000 to the statutory limit. The CSJVRMA is a consortium of fifty-four (54) cities in San Joaquin Valley, California. It was established under the provisions of California Government Code Section 6500 et seq. The CSJVRMA is governed by a Board of Directors, which meets 3-4 times per year, consisting of one member appointed by each member city. The day-to-day business is handled by a management group employed by the CSJVRMA.

Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contributions rates for all public employees 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 that year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The Local Government is required to contribute the difference between actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
In February 2011, the City Council adopted a new tier which became effective in April 2011.
Effective January 1, 2013, the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) implemented new benefit formulas, final compensation period, and new contribution requirements for new employees hired on or after January 1, 2013, who meet the definition of new member as per PEPRA.
Participants are required to contribute 7% (9% for public-safety employees) of their annual covered salary for Tier 1 and Tier 2. The participants that qualify under Tier 3 are required to contribute
6.25% of their annual covered salary. The City makes no required contribution on behalf of the City employees. The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by PERS. The City is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. PERS has determined that because of past funding and investment earnings, current employer contributions are

56 C. Employee Retirement Systems and Plans (continued) Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilities was determined by rolling forward the total pension liability determined in the June 30, 2019 actuarial accounting valuations to June 30, 2020.
The June 30, 2020, total pension liability was based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Valuation Date
Measurement Date
Acturarial Cost Method Entry-Age Normal Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 7.15%
Inflation 2.50%
Salary Increases Varied by Entry Age and Service
Mortality Rate Table Derived using CalPERS' membership data for all funds Post Retirement Benefit Contract COLA up to 2.75% until purchasing power Increase Protection allowance floor on power applies, 2.50% thereafter June 30, 2019
June 30, 2020
The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS’ specific data. The table includes 15 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale 90% of scale MP 2016. For more details on this table, please refer to the December 2017 experience study report (based on CalPERS demographic data from 1997 to 2015) that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return – The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund (PERF) cash flows.
Using historical returns of all funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits of cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns.

74 REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To The City Council
City of Riverbank
State of California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the aggregate discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Riverbank, State of California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Riverbank, State of California’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated October 25, 2022.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Riverbank, State of California’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Riverbank, State of California’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Riverbank, State of California’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. 75 Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Riverbank, State of California’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

76 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT AND
MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To The City Council
City of Riverbank
State of California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited City of Riverbank, State of California’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of City of Riverbank, State of California’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2021. City of Riverbank, State of California’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of City of Riverbank, State of California’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about City of Riverbank, State of California’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of City of Riverbank, State of California’s compliance.
77 Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, City of Riverbank, State of California, complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2021.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Management of City of Riverbank, State of California, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance referred to above. In planning and performing our audit, we considered City of Riverbank, State of California’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Riverbank, State of California’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
