AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.1
SECTION 7: PRESENTATIONS
Meeting Date: September 24, 2024
Subject: National Suicide Prevention Month – September 2024 From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Jessica Campos, Administrative Assistant – Confidential
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council read and present the proclamation for Suicide Prevention Month to Nancy Andrews and Norm Andrews, volunteers for American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
SUMMARY
Suicide Prevention Month is a time to raise awareness of this urgently important crisis.
This month is used to shift public perception, spread hope and share vital information to people affected by suicide. The goal of Suicide Prevention month is ensuring that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention and to seek help.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Though not related to the Strategic Plan, it is important to provide support to our organizations that provide resources for suicide prevention and mental health.
BACKGROUND
September was first declared as National Suicide Month in 2008. Prior to 2008, the first crisis hotline was formed in England in 1951. Followed by the first suicide prevention center in Los Angeles in 1958. WHO released the first global report on suicide with the intentions to bring awareness to the crisis in 2014. Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the US and since 2022 more than 49,000 Americans have died due to suicide.
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) are two important organizations within our community that provide resources and the help needed.
Item 7.1 – CC/LRA 09/24/2024
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact with the report.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.2
SECTION 7: PRESENTATIONS
Meeting Date: September 24, 2024
Subject: Presentation- Workshop on the City’s Housing Element Update From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Joshua E. Mann, Director of Community Development
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council hear a staff presentation on the Housing Element Update effort. The presentation will serve to provide an overview of the 6th Cycle Housing Element update. No recommendation or formal action is necessary at this point of the Housing Element Update process.
SUMMARY
The 6th Cycle Housing Element Update is currently underway and Staff is requesting that the City Council receive an update, receive public input, and discuss the Housing Element Update process.
BACKGROUND
Since 1969, California has required that all local governments (cities and counties) adequately plan to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community. California’s local governments are required to prepare a Housing Element, which is one of the seven required elements of the General Plan.
The Housing Element must be updated approximately every 8 years, and it is the role of the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to administer and ensure local government compliance with Housing Element law. HCD is now administering the 6th Cycle Housing Element. For Riverbank and other local governments within the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG), the 6th Cycle covers the period from June 30, 2023, to December 31, 2031.
Item 7.2 – CC/LRA 09/24/2024
Because the Housing Element is updated every eight years, the current 5th Cycle Housing Element provides a foundation for this update. Please refer to the City’s current 5th Cycle Housing Element for more information on existing goals, policies, and programs. It can be accessed on the City’s website at:
https://www.riverbank.org/330/Applications-Forms.
To comply with State law, each jurisdiction’s Housing Element must be updated to ensure its policies and programs can accommodate its share of the number of housing units identified by the State. The Housing Element update includes the following steps:
• Determine the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) • Update previous Housing Element
• Publish Draft Housing Element for a 30-day Public Review Period • Submit Draft Housing Element to HCD for review
• Revise Draft Housing Element pursuant to HCD comments • Adopt Housing Element (Planning Commission and City Council) • Submit Adopted Housing Element to HCD for Certification
UPDATED INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS
A. Regional Housing Need Allocation
HCD begins the RHNA process by setting the total number of new housing units needed for the State during the 6th Cycle. HCD then disaggregates the total number of new housing units by income group: Very Low, Low, Moderate, and AboveModerate Income. Next, HCD distributes those numbers to each region within the State. For the StanCOG region, HCD allocated a total of 34,344 new housing units for this 6th Cycle Housing Element period.
StanCOG then takes the lead and establishes a methodology for allocating the units across the local jurisdictions within its region. StanCOG started its part of the 6th Cycle RHNA process in 2021. Riverbank actively participated in that process, attending all the Valley Vision Stanislaus (VVS) meetings, and providing comments to StanCOG on the RHNA process during the various meetings. The Final RHNA Plan was adopted by the StanCOG Policy Board on August 16, 2022.
For Riverbank, the RHNA allocation is:
Total RHNA Units for Riverbank 3,591
Very Low Income (<50% of AMI*) 970
Low Income (50-80% of AMI) 672
Moderate Income (80-120% of AMI) 594
Above Moderate Income (>120% of AMI) 1,355
Item 7.2 – CC/LRA 09/24/2024
*AMI = Area Median Income, based on the Stanislaus County average incomes.
B. Housing Element Update Highlights
• A demographic profile and analysis of population growth and trends in the community;
• Identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the community;
• Identification of adequate sites that are zoned and available within the 8-year housing cycle to meet the City’s fair share of regional housing needs at all income levels, as prescribed by the RHNA;
• An evaluation of local constraints or barriers to housing development as well as opportunities to develop housing; and
• Housing goals, policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs to preserve, improve and develop housing within the City.
C. Site Inventory
As part of the Housing Element Update process, the City will be identifying adequate sites to accommodate the 3,591 new units, particularly “affordable” units that would be available to very-low and low-income households. Combined, the 970 very-low-income units and the 672 low-income units bring the total number of affordable units for Riverbank to 1,642.
To identify a housing site as “affordable”, a Housing Element needs to provide analysis demonstrating that adopted densities, costs, financial subsidies and/or market demand can accommodate lower income households. In Riverbank, such an analysis is impractical because very few, if any, houses rent or sell at rates that are affordable to very-low or low-income households. As an option and alternative to preparing the analysis, California Government Code Section 65583.2(c)(3)(B) allows local governments to elect the option to utilizing “default” density standards that are “deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households.”
The default density standard provides a streamlined option for local governments to meet the density requirement. If a local government zones a site to meet the default density, no analysis to establish the appropriateness of the default density is required and HCD must accept that density as appropriate in its review. Riverbank and the surrounding cities in the region are designated as “Suburban Jurisdictions”. This means that Riverbank must identify sufficient sites that have a density of no less than 20 dwelling units per acre for the very-low and low-income categories.
Riverbank has used the default density strategy in its previous Housing Element to successfully meet its RHNA requirements for very-low and low-income housing.
Additionally, Riverbank successfully satisfied its moderate and above moderate RHNA allocation by identifying sites that allow for Low Density Residential and Medium Density Residential developments.
Item 7.2 – CC/LRA 09/24/2024
Potential sites to satisfy the 3,591 RHNA requirement should have:
• Reasonable access to infrastructure, including roads, sewer, and water; • Topography with slopes less than 10%;
• Limited geologic constraints;
• Limited biological resources; and
• Adequately sized to accommodate housing development (e.g., avoiding sites that are too small to realistically develop).
Staff will be evaluating sites that potentially meet these criteria, including but not limited to:
• City owned undeveloped properties.
• Undeveloped privately owned residentially zoned properties. • Undeveloped privately owned non-residentially zoned properties (e.g., Mixed Use).
• Underutilized developed commercial properties that could be rezoned to a mixeduse density.
D. Public Participation
Public participation is an important component of the Housing Element Update process.
The City is required to make diligent effort to include all economic segments of the community (including residents and/or their representatives) in the development and update of the Housing Element.
This workshop is the start of the process for Riverbank’s 6 th Cycle Housing Element
Update. A public notice informing the public about the workshop held with the Planning Commission was published in the Riverbank News on February 7, 2024. A Public Hearing Notice for this workshop was not required. Additionally, a webpage is being established to inform the public about the Housing Element process. This webpage will be updated periodically and will include drafts of the 6th Cycle Housing Element.
The public outreach process will continue during the next few months as the City works to complete the draft Housing Element Update. Public Hearings will be properly advertised for both the Planning Commission and City Council when each of these bodies formally considers the Housing Element update under a General Plan Amendment.
E. Schedule
To meet HCD’s 6th Cycle Housing Element requirement, Riverbank and other StanCOG local governments must have their Housing Element submitted to HCD for review and approval by December 31, 2024. To meet this schedule, Riverbank was originally intending to follow this recommended timeline:
• Develop Site Inventory Analysis – April/May 2024
• Complete Draft Housing Element Document - June/July, 2024
Item 7.2 – CC/LRA 09/24/2024
• Planning Commission review and Concurrence of Draft Housing Element – July 2024
• City Council Review and Recommendation to Submit Draft Housing Element to HCD – August 2024
• Submit Draft Housing Element to HCD for 90-day Review – August/September 2024
• Planning Commission Review and Recommendation to City Council for Adoption – October 2024
• City Council Approval of Housing Element Update – October/November 2024 • Submittal of Final Housing Element to HCD – December 2024 There have been a few minor delays in developing the Draft Housing Element document and a revised timeline has been established with HCD concurrence:
• Complete Draft Housing Element Document - October 2024 • Planning Commission review and Concurrence of Draft Housing Element – October 15, 2024
• City Council Review and Recommendation to Submit Draft Housing Element to HCD – November 12, 2024
• Submit Draft Housing Element to HCD for 90-day Review – November/December 2024
• Planning Commission Review and Recommendation to City Council for Adoption – April/May 2025
• City Council Approval of Housing Element Update – April/May 2025 • Submittal of Final Housing Element to HCD – June 2025
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed update of the Housing Element will be considered though an amendment to the City’s adopted General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The Housing Element contains policies and programs rather than specific projects or developments; therefore, it will not have a significant effect on the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The City’s Strategic Plan identifies goals that the City will work towards for the next three years. This project works toward the goals of “promoting sustainable development,” “promoting economic development that supports a jobs-housing balance,” and “maintain a high quality of life.”
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed amendment to the Housing Element of the General Plan is part of the City’s overall work program budgeted for this fiscal year.

And he's going to go back to D.C. and get support from others of his same rank, we are not going to get the expedited conveyance, but we may get a long-term lease of 25 to 50 years which would be excellent.

SUMMARY
On November 8, 2016 the Stanislaus County voters approved a ½ cent sales tax measure (Measure L) to fund local and regional transportation projects and programs.
On April 23, 2024 the Riverbank City Council approved and adopted the revised 2024 City of Riverbank Expenditure Plan Project List for Measure L Funds. The project was listed under the Traffic Management Improvements with a budgeted amount of $385,000 for preliminary engineering and construction costs.
Item 9.3 - CC /LRA 09/24/2024
The bid opening was held on Thursday, September 12, 2024 to consider the bids for the Roselle and S. Rosebrook Intersection Improvements Project. The following bids were received:
Hensley's Paving & General Engineering Inc. $542,017.09 Rapid Grading Services $543,142.50

Bids have been reviewed and Hensley's Paving & General Engineering Inc. has been identified as the lowest responsible bidder for the project and staff recommends that the project be awarded in the amount of $542,017.09.
Staff originally budgeted $350,000.00 for construction from Measure L – Traffic Management. During design it was determined that the final Engineer’s Estimate was higher than budgeted but it was best to wait until bids came in for final budget approval.

A budget amendment is requested from Measure L – Local Streets & Roads in the amount of $261,219.00 to complete the project.
It is requested that the City Council provide the City Manager authorization to execute Change Orders if they are within total budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding has been programmed for this project with Measure L Funds, total budget of $611,219.00 ($350,000.00 initially budgeted for construction and an additional $261,219.00 as a budget amendment being requested).

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.4
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: September 24, 2024
Subject: Resolution Accepting the Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2021-2022
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Tammy Alcantor, Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider adopting a Resolution accepting the Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
SUMMARY
Cities are required to conduct an annual financial audit by an independent accounting firm. However, due to the transition to new financial software in 2015, and staffing changes the financial audits for the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 were delayed. Gallagher Gatewood (formerly Clendenin Bird & Company) has now completed these audits, which are 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 9.4 – CC/LRA 09/24/2024
For Fiscal Years 2021-2022 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).
Item 9.4 – CC/LRA 09/24/2024
FY 2021-22 OVERALL NET POSITION
Overall, the City's Net Position grew by 5.5% during the 2021-2022 fiscal year. This increase was mainly attributed to higher revenues including ARPA funding and Transitional Housing grants. For the fiscal year, revenues for the City’s Governmental and Proprietary Funds surpassed expenditures by $4,223,596, leading to a rise in unrestricted funds and reflecting growth in the City. Additionally, the City's General Fund "unassigned" balance rose by 12%, driven by a boost in general revenues and an increase in expenditures, with revenues exceeding expenses by $1,165,611.
FY 2022-21 AUDIT UPDATE
Currently, city staff and Gallagher Gatewood are performing fieldwork (sampling) for the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 audit.
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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
3 This discussion and analysis of the City of Riverbank’s financial performance provides an overview of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, are presented per 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 $88,227,900. Of this amount, $4,351,165 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 $36,724,350. Of this amount, $14,281,875 was unrestricted.
Governmental revenues exceeded General and program expenses by $4,523,176. City program expenses totaled $17,066,641 for the fiscal year 2021-2022, an increase of 8.3% over the 2020- 21 Fiscal Year. Public Works costs comprised $6,060,413 or 36% of the total expenses, whereas Public Safety comprised 32% of expenditures.
In the City’s business-type activities (which include the Water, Sewer, Community Center and Local Redevelopment Funds), revenues exceeded expenses by $2,385,629. The City’s General Fund ended the year with a fund balance of $10,544,929. This is an increase of 12.43% from the year ending June 30, 2022.
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, 2022
(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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(UNAUDITED)
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.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net position. As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City’s financial position. Below is a table showing the City’s net position as of June 30, 2022, compared to the City’s net position as of June 30, 2021.

CITY OF RIVERBANK
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
6 Of the total net position for both the Governmental and Business-type activities, $71,003,816 or 56.82% 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 $35,315,394 or 28.26% 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 $18,633,040 or 14.91% of the total net position.
Changes in Net Position. Total revenues for the year exceeded expenditures by $6,908,805. Below is a table showing the Governmental and Proprietary Activities of the City for the year ending June 30, 2022, as compared to the year ending June 30, 2022.

General Fund
The City experienced an overall increase of 6.54% 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 1.26%. Revenues from Licenses and Permits increased by 38%. New housing developments in the City have generated additional building permit revenue. Fines and Forfeiture revenues saw a 76% increase, attributed to the reinstatement of late fees and penalties that had been suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. Service Charges rose by 44% as the city's programs and parks continue to recover from the restrictions imposed during COVID-19, leading to an increase in activity and usage. Investment earnings experienced a substantial decrease, with a decline of 280%. This was primarily influenced by unfavorable market conditions and changes in interest rates that adversely affected investments.
General Fund expenditures increased by 9.1% during the 2021-22 Fiscal Year. Major factors contributing to this increase in General Fund expenditures include:
Public Safety Expenditures increased by 11.8% due to contract inflation increases and some remodeling of the facilities' breakroom.

Culture and leisure expenditures have risen by 23.0% as we rebound from the COVID19 pandemic.

CDBG Fund
The CDBG Fund experienced increased revenues due to homeowners bringing their accounts up to date and a loan payoff.
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.

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 2022-2023 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, 2022
(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 has consistently grown over the past three fiscal years. For the 22-23 fiscal year, the City has anticipated growth of 15% over the prior year. Overall, General Fund revenues are anticipated to increase by 10% during the 2022-23 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 22-23 expenditures are anticipated to increase by 12.5%. This increase includes a one-time allocation of General Fund Reserves for the replastering of the City’s pool. The City added an additional Building Inspector and transition a part-time Development Services Clerk to Full-Time Community Development Clerk. PERS Unfunded Accrued Liability Costs continue to increase for the City. In the upcoming fiscal year, we will experience a 15% increase in costs, resulting in the City contributing approximately $638,000 this fiscal year, with 1/3 of that being paid directly by the General Fund.
A Tentative Agreement with the LIUNA Miscellaneous Bargaining Unit for a new labor contract that will begin July 1, 2023 and expire on June 30, 2025. Based on the agreed-upon terms, the employees within this unit will be receiving a 7% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA).
Total operational and capital budgeted revenues and expenses for all funds for the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year are $31,177,896 and $29,754,547 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, Measure L 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, Waste Water Connection 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 2022- 23 fiscal year. Several of these allocations from reserve funds are due to the fact that funds must be spent during a certain time frame.

FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds 3,938,487 The changes in net position reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities is different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which capital outlay ($3,656,774) exceeded depreciation ($2,482,224) in the current period. 1,174,550
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales, trade-ins and contributions) is to increase net assets. 111,739 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. 701,600) ( Changes in net position of governmental activities 4,523,176

JUNE 30, 2022
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, 2022
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, 2022
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.
CITY OF RIVERBANK
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
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.

36 D. Assets, Liabilities and Equity
1. Cash and Investments
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”.
CITY OF RIVERBANK
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
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.
CITY OF RIVERBANK
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
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,
CITY OF RIVERBANK
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
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 9.41 months.
Maturity Date
State investment pool 5,871,581 9.41 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, 2022
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, 2022 is $4,337,526.
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.

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, 2020 actuarial accounting valuations to June 30, 2021.
The June 30, 2021, 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 2.50% until purchasing power Increase Protection allowance floor on power applies, 2.50% thereafter June 30, 2020
June 30, 2021
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.

75 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, 2022, 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 June 20, 2024.
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. 76 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.

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, 2022. 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.
78 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, 2022.
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.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.4
SECTION 9: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: September 24, 2024
Subject: LRA Resolution to Award a Contract for Specialized Legal Services for the Local Redevelopment Authority and Authorize the City Manager to Enter into an Outside Counsel Services Agreement with Kutak Rock LLP
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Melissa Holdaway, Admin Analyst II
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider authorizing the award of a contract for Specialized Legal Services for the Riverbank Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) to Kutak Rock LLP.
SUMMARY
The Local Redevelopment Authority issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for continued legal services in the area of the Implementation process of transferring the former Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant to the City of Riverbank. A RFP was released to several firms to provide their firms list of credentials in the area of base closures and realignments to assist the LRA in the process as well as the key documents that are needed for a successful transfer. We received one response out of several law firms that were solicited.
BACKGROUND
Kutak Rock was awarded a contract in 2008 to assist the LRA by providing legal services and assistance during the reuse planning stage and implementation of the Reuse Plan.
Legal services to provide the LRA the ability to fund this expense has weighed heavily on the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation grant agreements since the recognition of the LRA as a designated authority. The LRA has moved into the implementation stage of the transfer and will rely heavily on legal services in the development of several key documents including an Economic Development Conveyance, Negotiated Sales, Finding of Suitability of Transfer (FOST), Finding of Suitability for Early Transfer (FOSET) as well as the ongoing Environmental Cooperative
Item 9.4 – CC/LRA- 09/24/2024
Services Agreement (ESCA) for environmental cleanup of the former Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant. The services will be supplemented by the OLDCC grant.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The contract for specialized legal services reinforces the City’s core values of transparency and fiscal responsibility.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

Kutak Rock LLP Federal Practice Group
Federal Practice Group Real Property Policy Experience:
The Kutak Rock LLP Federal Practice Group is the most experienced military base closure, realignment, and reuse law firm in the country. Federal Practice Group lawyers have been retained as counsel by states and municipalities, local reuse authorities (LRAs), Federal departments and agencies, and private sector entities to assist them in navigating through all aspects of the base closure, realignment, reuse, and land disposal process.
Kutak Rock is unrivaled in its experience with federal and state real property policy matters. Before joining the firm, Partner George Schlossberg, the Federal Practice Group Chair, served for 12 years in various positions in the Pentagon, including Senior Counsel in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. In that capacity, he counseled the Secretary of Defense and his staff on matters such as base closures, defense installations, international agreements, leasing, private financing, and government contracts. During this time, he served also as Counsel to the Office of Economic Adjustment, Counsel to the President’s Economic Adjustment Committee, Counsel to the President’s Commission on Alternative Utilization of Military Facilities, Counsel to DOD’s Bureau of Prisons Assistance Council and Assistant Counsel to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. While with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, he was instrumental in the drafting and policy implementation of the original 1988 Base Closure Act, the Defense Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment Act. As an adviser to then-Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci, Mr. Schlossberg prepared a compendium of all federal policies and regulations related to base closure and reuse. Thirty years later, Mr. Schlossberg continues to compile and publish this volume annually. The volume now entitled Department of Defense Base Closure and Federal Property Disposal Authorities (29th ed.) features Federal statutes, executive orders, policy statements, regulations, DOD and military department directives, and memoranda that form the foundation for the federal base closure and property disposal process.
Mr. Schlossberg serves as general counsel to ADC, The Association of Defense Communities, the pre-eminent national association representing communities adjacent to closed, closing and active military bases. In this capacity, he often is called upon to analyze and testify on federal real property policy proposals. Mr. Schlossberg was part of the ADC team working with staff of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee on language to authorize a new round of base closures. Mr. Schlossberg worked with ADC to formulate a unified response on behalf of base closure communities nationwide to the Defense Department’s proposal to amend its ATTACHMENT 2

base reuse policies “Revitalizing Base Closure Communities and Addressing Impacts of Realignment” (32 CFR § 174-176).
Base Closure Reuse Planning
The Kutak Rock team is comprised of federal real property, environmental law, and finance experts. The team provides the legal and environmental expertise necessary to assure that issues of reuse planning, conveyance, interim leasing, leaseback provisions, environmental indemnity, environmental risk allocation, potential liability and financing are integrated and fully addressed as the reuse and acquisition plans are developed and implemented. The objective of this integration is to avoid unanticipated legal and environmental impediments. Where the data are inadequate, deficiencies can be identified, risks evaluated, and negotiation strategies developed to achieve acceptable risk allocation. This can be accomplished by reviewing and coordinating all documents, plans, proposals, and considerations as they become available, and advising the LRA, the community, and their reuse plan contractors about the legal and environmental implications of these factors, with a view toward anticipating and addressing real and potential issues that may arise.
The Kutak Rock team has collaborated with numerous elected officials, city attorneys, planners, engineers, utility officials, financial managers and redevelopment experts associated with military base reuse and other redevelopment projects. The development of a close working relationship among the legal team, elected and appointed officials and contractors is quickly forged and maintained throughout the project. In addition, the Kutak Rock team is uniquely qualified to provide advice and representation based on its intimate knowledge of and experience with the processes and procedures needed to ensure acquisition and reuse of the base property on the most advantageous terms possible. The Kutak Rock team has successfully negotiated on behalf of local governments with each of the military services to develop and acquire former bases.
The various phases of the base reuse process are marked by specific stages. Each phase impacts the other phases. A community’s initial decisions can impact the reuse of the base, such as the time until the property is available for reuse, the price paid by the community for the property, the level of environmental cleanup undertaken by the military service and the reuse permitted on the property. Kutak Rock advises its clients throughout both the reuse planning and implementation phases of the base reuse process. This advice assists a community in streamlining the process and reusing the base in a manner that best fits the community’s needs.

Base Reuse Implementation
Kutak Rock’s familiarity with the myriad federal statutes, executive orders, rules, regulations, and policies that govern federal real property disposal and understanding of the dynamics of the complex military base-reuse process are essential elements of the successful development and implementation of a community’s base reuse plan. The intimate knowledge of these governing provisions that the Kutak Rock team brings to the process, in addition to its knowledge of the federal government’s latitude in the negotiation process, will prove invaluable to any community throughout the planning and acquisition process.
Kutak Rock counsels municipalities, states and reuse authorities acquiring former military property through leases, economic development conveyances (transfer at a discounted price for use of the property for economic development), public benefit conveyances (transfer to public entities to enable the community to put the property to public use with little or no outlay of community resources for parks, roads, airports, ports, utilities, hospitals, etc.), negotiated sales and public bids. Moreover, having assisted various authorities in negotiating and obtaining former Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps base property, the firm has accrued intimate knowledge of environmental issues at military bases and each military service's individual processes, personnel and negotiating tactics.
One of the most troubling aspects of the base closure/conversion/reuse process has been the acquisition of personal property necessary to reuse the underlying real property, particularly the industrial and airport properties available for reuse. Absent the installed equipment (i.e., runway lights, air conditioning units, overhead cranes, etc.), much of the available real property cannot be put to productive use without significant capital investment. Members of the Kutak Rock team have worked extensively in negotiating personal property agreements with the military services at various closing military installations. This experience has resulted in complex negotiations with the Department of Defense and military departments as to the classes of property to be retained as well as individual items of particular value. During the course of these negotiations, we have fashioned personal property agreements that are in keeping with the constrained language of the Base Closure Statutes, DOD Implementation Rules, and DOD Base Reuse Implementation Manual.
Environmental Remediation
The environmental components that go into the acquisition and reuse of base property can be complex. The military service is responsible for the collection and evaluation of environmental data in order to meet its statutory and regulatory responsibilities. The ultimate objective of these statutory and regulatory requirements is the protection of human health and the environment. The Kutak Rock legal team will evaluate the data, cleanup schedule and level of cleanup required for the reuse in order to evaluate and integrate the information provided by the military service. These data will influence which parcels will be available at what time and in what condition. Armed with the Kutak Rock team’s advice on these issues, the community will be in a position to time- Kutak Rock Specialized Legal Services Proposal Exhibits 4872-4807-5741.1

4 ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION AND/OR WORK PRODUCT
phase its development program with a full understanding of the (i) interim lease potential for certain parcels, (ii) the NEPA implications of such interim leases, (iii) the impact of residual contamination on institutional controls, which can limit reuse, and (iv) the impact of subsequent state environmental regulatory enforcement at former federal property.
In our representation of firm clients, Kutak Rock has negotiated significant pollution liability insurance policies, with coverage that has included traditional environmental contaminants as well as unexploded ordnance and other forms of munitions and explosives of concern. These policies address personal injury and property damage liability, defense costs and remediation obligations. We have pursued claims against the United States pursuant to the warranty of remediation that the United States provides, as well as claims arising from the indemnity that is statutorily mandated for base closure property. Our negotiations with state and federal environmental regulators have resulted in agreements limiting the purview of land use controls as components of environmental remedies and early transfer of contaminated property.
Environmental notices and obligations included in the quitclaim deeds and leases provided by the military services are sensitive matters that require careful evaluation with respect to environmental risk allocation and implications for reuse and marketability. Kutak Rock has negotiated many such documents, collaborating with clients, prospective developers, the military services, and lenders to ensure that the highest and best use possible is not unnecessarily hindered by environmental constraints. These negotiations have included agreements on the environmental work to be performed and the schedule for performance.
The allocation of funds in the cleanup process is not necessarily a smooth and predictable event; it is dependent upon the appropriation of funds for a specific purpose and the priority set for the use of such funds. Thus, the allocation of environmental cleanup funds between the military services, each base community and the local municipality may become a contentious negotiating point. Negotiations for the funding, timing and priority of cleanup are critical.
With respect to any reuse by third parties, the allocation of future risk must be resolved.
Although environmental base-line studies are valuable, they do not always quantify and qualify the risks for future users. While the United States is statutorily responsible for whatever it leaves behind, the transaction costs to establish such responsibility may be onerous. In addition, if a subsequent owner/occupant contributes to existing but undiscovered contamination, the difficulties of apportionment can be overwhelming. For instance, even though the military service will provide a community with indemnification for all contamination caused by the military service (§330, FY93 National Defense Authorization Act, Pub.L.No. 102-484), the military service will not provide indemnification to the extent that a release was contributed to by activities of the subsequent owner or one of its tenants for contaminants that the military service left behind. Only through careful and thorough investigation, negotiation and documentation can such pitfalls be avoided. Lenders and insurers will be particularly sensitive to such matters.

PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL
5 ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION AND/OR WORK PRODUCT
Future owners/occupants may seek indemnity agreements to protect themselves from joint, several, and strict liability for environmental contamination which they did not create or cause.
The policy considerations inherent in such agreements, as well as the content of such agreements (should a decision be made to enter into them) is a sensitive matter, requiring careful thought and negotiation.
The standards of remediation that will be met by the military service should not be unilaterally established by the military service. Encapsulation of friable asbestos may not be an acceptable remedy, although it is usually cheaper. Demolition of undesirable buildings, particularly if they impede or interfere with Reuse Plans, should be an objective. Review of Comprehensive Environmental Response Facilitation Act (CERFA) documentation and coordination with state environmental personnel are matters to be closely monitored, in order to ensure that there is agreement at each stage of the transfer process. Bases on the National Priorities List (NPL) require particular coordination with the EPA region.
Pursuant to NEPA, the military service will perform an environmental analysis of the disposal and reuse of a former base. The local community’s reuse plan will, in most circumstances, be the preferred alternative when the service issues its Record of Decision.
As the former Chief of the Army’s Environmental Law Division in the Pentagon and a retired Judge Advocate Colonel, Kutak Rock Partner Barry Steinberg brings unequaled knowledge and experience to the team; his familiarity with the requisite statutes and military implementing policies enables his clients to best take advantage of opportunities and avoid pitfalls inherent in this troublesome area. Mr. Steinberg’s expertise extends to issues involving environmental litigation, environmental insurance, permitting and licensing and “early transfers.” He frequently lectures on base reuse environmental issues, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, risk allocation and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) policy. Mr.
Steinberg has extensive experience in the NEPA process and the implications of that process for reuse. He has testified before Congress on Superfund reauthorization.
