AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.1.
SECTION : PRESENTATIONS
Meeting Date: 5/12/2026
Subject: Certificate of Recognition - Older Americans Month - It is recommended that the City Council read and present a Certificate of Recognition to Raymond Espinoza for his service to our community.
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Jessica Campos, Administrative Assistant-Confidential
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council read and present a Certificate of Recognition to Raymond Espinoza for his service to our community.
SUMMARY
Raymond Espinoza was born on January 24, 1935, in San Antonio, Texas, and was the youngest of seven children. As a teenager, he moved to Riverbank and graduated from Oakdale High School in 1954. Following high school, he attended a trade school in Texas, where he completed an apprenticeship in upholstery. After getting married and starting a family with three children, Raymond returned to Riverbank in the 1960s. During that time, he worked a variety of maintenance and janitorial jobs throughout Modesto and Stanislaus County. Following his retirement, he launched his own upholstery business from his garage, taking on many meaningful projects, including restoring the pews at St. Frances of Rome Church.
Raymond has proudly served as a volunteer poll worker for the City of Riverbank for more than 30 years and is an active member of the Knights of Columbus. Today, he continues to work on upholstery projects and recently completed work at Riverbank High School, where his grandson attends school.
In his free time, Raymond enjoys listening to Tejano music, sharing good food with family and friends, and attending Senior Community events in Riverbank. His personal motto is to live life to the fullest and stay active.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Though this does not directly affect the Strategic Plan, it is important because it raises awareness about issues that affect aging populations and encourages people of all ages to value and support older residents.
Item 7.1. - CC / LRA – 5/12/2026
BACKGROUND
When Older Americans Month was established in 1963, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthday. About a third of older Americans lived in poverty and there were few programs to meet their needs. Interest in older Americans and their concerns was growing. A meeting in April 1963 between President John F. Kennedy and members of the National Council of Senior Citizens led to designating May as “Senior Citizens Month,” the prelude to “Older Americans Month.” Historically, Older Americans Month has been a time to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons to our country, in particular those who defended our country. Older Americans Month is celebrated across the country through ceremonies, events, fairs, and other such activities.

Refugio de Bienestar is a dedicated organization deeply rooted in the Riverbank community.

During the month of May, wearing the color green or displaying a green ribbon shows support and brings awareness to mental health.

12. COMMENTS/REPORTS

City Manager Garcia:
No comments.
Item 12.2. Council/Authority Member
Vice Mayor Pimentel:
• I did my Zoom class on communications with Lauren. We discussed different ways of how we can reach the residents, that they don't use social media and that they cannot afford the newspaper. How can we find a solution to reach anyone? I found that very interesting. • Also, I had a phone conversation with Keryn Whitlow. We talked about the upcoming 250th anniversary. She is a nurse, and she also shared with me how Prop 1 has affected funding for mental health awareness, the group she belongs to. They meet on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. and she invited me to attend the meetings.
• Also, we did a sister city Zoom meeting with Ms. Ortiz and her committee, and we discussed the upcoming Mexican Independence Day dinner, so stay tuned for that. • Also, Saint Francis of Rome in Riverbank is doing a fundraiser. First prize is a 75-inch TV.
Second prize is an Apple Watch. The donation is $10 per ticket, and the raffle will be on May 3rd at the Catholic Church here in Riverbank. If you're interested, please see me for tickets.
Councilmember Uribe:
• So Food Truck Fridays are coming back. Thank you to Parks and Rec for bringing that back.
It's going to be every Friday from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Sports Complex. • If you're looking for a cultural festival, México Magico is coming back on May 9th at the Community Center from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Both of those are free events. • Volt on the Go is coming to Riverbank. So, Volt on the Go is a mobile industry-focused technical training that brings hands-on workforce development directly into communities, using professional training systems and real industry equipment. So they're coming to Building 18 on May 11th, 12th and 13th. All the Council have the flyer. So if you know somebody that would like to get some job-ready skills at no cost, please attend this. They're going to be doing an electric relay control troubleshooting training. They have 16 spots available. 2 spots have been filled as of this morning.
• Happy Mother's Day to everybody.
CC / LRA Minutes – 4/28/2026
Councilmember Fosi:
• First of all, I'd like to thank Love Riverbank for the event last Saturday. It was a wonderful turnout and I talked to several people, the project managers, and everybody was so excited about what got done. We did have several volunteers come over to the museum, and we were able to take down a couple of boards that were covering our windows. Oh, what a difference it made for us. And on top of that, they cleaned them all, cleaned the windows, cleaned the doors, cleaned up the desks, the spider webs. But we really appreciate LOVE Riverbank supporting us, and I really appreciate all the volunteers that worked on the projects. • Riverbank Historical Society on May 9th is doing a community picnic event. Please bring a picnic to share and we will be having a proud Riverbank Native and Southern Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame member Herb Henry. He will be sharing heartfelt memories and stories on the front lawn, and we will be providing some drinks and some snacks. And just bring your lunch. Come and sit around. It is from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm.
Councilmember Call:
• So, a couple of weeks ago, I attended the StanCOG meeting as the alternate for Mayor. One of the big questions was the finance manager. They have received a good number of applications and they're starting the hiring process. So they're hoping to have that person hired by the end of June. Obviously, things can change, but that is a timeline. • Last week, the Mayor and I attended the Cal Cities Leaders Summit in Sacramento. We did some lobbying with Assemblyman Heath Flora, and it was good timing because there were quite a few Council members from other jurisdictions, and we were able to talk about the Housing Element. And the things that we went through today are not just happening here in Riverbank. Whether they're approved or not approved, everyone has a lot of questions about how these numbers are being allocated, how it impacts the city's and the city's creativity to achieve these standards set by the state. So we're not alone in that. • I also mentioned on the March 10th meeting my recommendations for a sphere of influence change. So I'm just reinforcing that I would like to see us expand our sphere of influence. • And then we are sending out memos and posting to our social media QR codes for our communications plan with JP, and we're looking for community feedback. We don't just want resident feedback. We also want people who own businesses in Riverbank. So I encourage everyone to please fill out that communications plan, survey. • Stanislaus Consolidated Fire wanted me to remind everyone to wear life jackets on the water.
They've already had one call this season for a no-life jacket water rescue. So they do have loaners at the station. And I am working with Keryn again this year in conjunction with Parks and Rec for a life jacket drive. So if you have a Coast Guard approved life jacket that's new that you'd like to donate, please give me a call.
• And then lastly, I want to wish my son a happy sixth birthday because today is his birthday and in exactly an hour when he was born.

Item 12.3. Mayor/ Chair
Mayor Hernandez:
• Just to add more on the Cal Cities side, we officially have a young elected member group, and this was a Councilmember in Hercules and I have been working on this for over three years through this organization. And so it was important for us to have the youngest under 40, by the way. And so we thought it was important to have an allies and important to have representation. As elected officials we are seeing the brunt of everything that's going right and everything that's going wrong with policy and our landscape. So it's very exciting. • I also want to give a shout-out to LOVE Riverbank. They have found ways to fill the gaps that we have in different holidays and events and continue to improve that. • I attended the Día del Niño with Modesto Business United, as they're looking to expand their footprint into the greater Stanislaus County area. So there's more to come on that. • We did have a successful youth Info night for the upcoming cohort of our youth council. • I attended the Riverbank Unified School District, state of the district, and their superintendent gave a speech about what they've seen in the last year and what we're looking forward to in the year to come.
• And finally, I would love to see you all at the state of the City. Some of you don't have a choice. So I'll see you all this Thursday at the state of the city.

RIVERBANK CITY COUNCIL / LRA BOARD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.1.
SECTION : NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: 5/12/2026
Subject: Resolution Accepting the Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 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 2024-2025.
SUMMARY
Cities are required to conduct an annual financial audit by an independent accounting firm. Gallagher Gatewood has now completed the audit for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, which is being presented to the City Council for acceptance.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The audit provides independent validation that the City’s financial practices are sound, which is a key component of maintaining long-term financial stability.
BACKGROUND
The Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, mandate that all local government entities, including special districts, undergo an annual financial audit. The purpose of this audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatements. Auditors perform procedures to gather evidence supporting the accuracy of the amounts and disclosures in these statements. As part of the process, the audit firm evaluates the risk of material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Additionally, auditors assess whether the City has adequate internal controls in place to prevent fraud and minimize the risk of errors in financial records.
The City received an unmodified (clean) audit opinion for Fiscal Year 2024–2025, meaning the auditors found the City’s financial statements to be accurate and prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
The Annual Financial Report begins with a Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) prepared by City staff, which highlights key details within the financial statements. This section provides the public with an overview of the City’s financial position, including factors that influenced changes, whether positive or negative.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), which establishes accounting standards for government entities, requires financial statements to be presented in two formats:
Item 10.1. - CC / LRA – 5/12/2026
1. Government-Wide Financial Statements – These provide a broad overview of the City’s overall financial status, similar to reports issued by private-sector entities.
2. Fund Financial Statements – These focus on the City’s most significant funds, offering a more detailed financial perspective rather than a citywide view.
To assess the City’s financial health, the Statement of Net Position (a government-wide financial statement found on page 14 of the report) serves as a key indicator of whether the City’s financial position is improving or declining. This statement is divided into two categories:
• Governmental Activities – Includes services such as police, public works, community development, grants, special programs, and general government. These activities are primarily funded by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, including sales tax, property tax, vehicle license fees, user fees, franchise fees, and federal/state grants. • Proprietary Activities – Covers the City’s water and sewer systems, as well as the Community Center and LRA. These services are funded through fees and rents charged to customers.
Under the Fund Financial Statements, major funds are categorized by specific activities, while all other funds are grouped under "Other Funds." Page 17 of the report details the City’s major fund groups, including the General Fund, CDBG (Federal & State Grants), Successor RDA LMI Housing, and System Development Fees. As part of this structure, major funds are consolidated under a single heading. For example, the General Fund includes:
• Fund 101 (General Fund)
• Fund 201 (Benefit Liabilities Fund)
• Fund 119 (Fleet Services)
• Fund 134 (Recreation Fund)
This structured approach provides clarity in evaluating the City’s financial status and ensures transparency in financial reporting.
FY 2024-25 OVERALL NET POSITION
Overall, the City's Net Position increased by 5.1% during the 2024-2025 fiscal year. Revenues for the City's Governmental and Proprietary Funds exceeded expenditures by $6,688,974, reflecting a
1.68% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year.
The City's General Fund "unassigned" balance declined by $711,160 (6.22%). While revenues grew by 12.88%, expenditures rose by 20.3%, driven in part by one-time costs. These included a large settlement payment related to a legal case and increased contract planning services for plan check services and the Housing Element.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact associated with the acceptance of this report.

To The City Council
City Of Riverbank
State of California
Opinions
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, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report(s) of the other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Riverbank, State of California, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Riverbank, State of California, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
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, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City of Riverbank, State of California’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
2 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Riverbank, State of California’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Required Supplementary Information
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.
3 Supplemental Information
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 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. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America by us and other auditors. In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, 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.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

The City’s General Fund ended the year with a fund balance of $10,528,805. This is a decrease of 1.73% from the year ending June 30, 2024.
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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025

5 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.

6 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

(UNAUDITED)
7 Of the total net position for both the Governmental and Business-type activities, $87,919,500 or 60.91% 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 $31,042,934 or 21.51% 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 $25,380,041 or 17.58% of the total net position.
Changes in Net Position. Total revenues for the year exceeded expenditures by $6,206,229. Below is a table showing the Governmental and Proprietary Activities of the City for the year ending June 30, 2025, as compared to the year ending June 30, 2024.

10 CDBG Fund
The CDBG Fund experienced a decrease in both revenues and expenditures due to the absence of an active project during the fiscal year.
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.
As of the reporting period, the Successor Agency to the former Riverbank Redevelopment Agency has met all statutory requirements for dissolution pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 34187(b). All enforceable obligations listed on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) have been fully paid or retired. All real property assets have been disposed of in accordance with HSC Sections 34181 and 34191.4. Additionally, all outstanding litigation has been resolved, and the Agency has received a Finding of Completion from the California Department of Finance. Dissolution is in its final stages. Any remaining funds currently held will be remitted to the County Auditor-Controller for redistribution to the appropriate taxing entities.
GASB Statement No. 68
The City of Riverbank has implemented GASB Statement No. 68 as required. With the new reporting change, the City is allocated its proportionate share of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System’s net pension assets, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and pension expense. Decisions regarding the allocations are made by the administration of the pension plan, not by the City of Riverbank’s management.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
For the City’s General Fund, actual ending revenues totaled $14,221,224, primarily consisting of Sales Tax, Property Taxes, Other Taxes & Franchise Fees, and Service Charges. Net revenues exceeded the budget by $980,623, with the following major contributors:
Service Charges & Misc: Revenues were $577,118 over budget due to an insurance reimbursement for Public Works Fire Damages.

The City continues to experience growth in new housing developments. As these properties are sold and added to the tax rolls, the total assessed values increase. Since Certified Assessed Values determine Property Taxes, revenue is expected to rise from Property Tax Current Secured & Unsecured, and Property Tax in Lieu of VLF.
Sales tax revenue has shown steady growth over the past four fiscal years. While a slight decline occurred in 2023-24, mirroring statewide trends, an 4.5% increase is anticipated in 2025-26 with the addition of new retail establishments within the City. General Fund revenues are projected to grow by 3.4% in 2025-26 compared to the previous fiscal year, driven by higher revenues from Building Permits, Sales Tax, and Franchise Fees.
Expenditures
Overall expenditures for Fiscal Year 2025-26 are projected to decrease by 13.3%, primarily due to an increase of subsidies, the largest increases were with Recreation to meet service demands and Gas Tax – Streets to offset declining revenues and rising maintenance costs. There were also two new subsidies introduced: Sierra House, and LRA (Local Redevelopment Authority). The City's PERS Unfunded Accrued Liability Costs are expected to rise by 20.63%, bringing the total contribution to approximately $881,634. Of this amount, one-third will be funded directly by the General Fund.
This budget approach ensures financial stability while accommodating growth and addressing key fiscal responsibilities.
The total operational and capital budgeted revenues and expenses for all funds in the 2025-2026 fiscal year are $34,668,234 and $40,985,681, respectively, excluding inter-fund transfers. Structural deficits, where expenditures exceed revenues, are projected in several funds. To address these deficits, the City Council has approved the use of ending reserve balances from the 2024-2025 fiscal year. Below is a list of the major funds with deficits:
General Fund Gas Tax Fund
Measure L Fund Public Benefit Fund
HCD HOME Fund System Development Funds (Streets/Public Works) Sewer Fund Sewer Capital Improvement Fund
Water Operating Fund Water Capital Improvement Fund

33 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 standardsetting 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.

34 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, 2025
35 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 non-cash 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, 2025
36 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.

37 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, 2025
38 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, 2025
39 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

40 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.

JUNE 30, 2025
43 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 8.153 months.
Maturity Date
State investment pool 3,467,619 8.153 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, 2025
44 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, 2025 is $0.
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.

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

Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contributions rates for all public employees be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during that year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The Local Government is required to contribute the difference between actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
In February 2011, the City Council adopted a new tier which became effective in April 2011.
Effective January 1, 2013, the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) implemented new benefit formulas, final compensation period, and new contribution requirements for new employees hired on or after January 1, 2013, who meet the definition of new member as per PEPRA.
Participants are required to contribute 7% (9% for public-safety employees) of their annual covered salary for Tier 1 and Tier 2. The participants that qualify under Tier 3 are required to contribute 6.25% of their annual covered salary. The City makes no required contribution on behalf of the City employees. The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by PERS. The City is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. PERS has determined that because of past funding and investment earnings,

57 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, 2023, actuarial accounting valuations to June 30, 2024.
June 30, 2024, 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 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary Increases Varied by Entry Age and Service
Mortality Rate Table Derived using CalPERS' membership data for all funds Post Retirement Benefit The lesser of contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing Increase Power Protection Allowance floor on purchasing power applies, 2.30% thereafter
June 30, 2023
June 30, 2024
The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS’ specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions.
Mortality rates incorporate full generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the 2021 experience study report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. 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. Using historical returns of all funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a buildingblock approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points.

77 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To The 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 business-type 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, 2025, 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 January 26, 2026.
Report on 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.
78 Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.
Report on 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.

79 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT AND
MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To The City Council
City of Riverbank
State of California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on 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, 2025.
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.
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, 2025.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).j Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of City of Riverbank, State of California and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of City of Riverbank, State of California’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
80 Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grants applicable to City of Riverbank, State of California’s federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on City of Riverbank, State of California’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about City of Riverbank, State of California’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding City of Riverbank, State of California’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Obtain an understanding of City of Riverbank, State of California’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Riverbank, State of California’s internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
81 Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or 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 and significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that have not been identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
