THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 1373 AUTHORIZING ADOPTION OF A GIFT

POLICY FOR THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DATE: July 08, 2024
BACKGROUND:

On June 26, 2023, the Charitable Foundation Ad Hoc Committee (Mayor Leah Mirsch and Councilmember Patrick Wilson) presented the City Council with a status update on exploring the establishment of a charitable 501 (c) foundation for the City of Rolling Hills (Attachment A).

During the meeting, the committee presented findings on how other Peninsula Cities have successfully established similar 501(c) foundations, detailing their achievements and organizational structures. This information provided valuable insights into potential models and strategies that could be adapted to suit Rolling Hills' unique needs and objectives.

While the committee initially considered the possibility of establishing a 501(c) organization, it subsequently identified an additional mechanism, Section 170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which specifies the types of organizations and donations that can be made by donors and qualify for a tax deduction. These organizations include religious organizations, educational institutions, hospitals, medical research organizations, and governmental units (if the contribution is made exclusively for public purposes). The City of Rolling Hills is a governmental unit and, thus, comes under the purview of IRC 170(c)(1). Similar to a 501(c)(3) entity, IRC 170(c)(1) entities are eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions under this provision with the added benefit of not having to create a separate legal entity.

On February 12, 2024, the Ad Hoc Committee and staff presented a report that the 170(c)(1) was worth pursuing and directed staff to return with a more refined 170(C)(1) action plan.

On May 13, 2024, the City Council received a presentation on the use of IRC 170(c)(1) and directed staff to return with a formal policy for accepting gifts and donations for public purposes based on Council comments and direction.

On June 24, 2024, the City Council finalized the Gift Policy (Exhibit A to the Resolution) with 27 the following direction:

Baseline amount for restricted gifts - set to $2000
Ceiling amount for unrestricted gifts - set to $1000
Baseline amount requiring City Council's formal acceptance of a proposed gift - set to $1000
Ceiling amount for gifts that can be accepted at the City Manager's discretion - set to $1000
Time period for restricted monetary gifts potentially converting to an unrestricted gift for general public purposes - set to $5 years
DISCUSSION:

Attached is the resolution for formal adoption of the Gift Policy as discussed at the June 24, 2024 City Council meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve as presented.

Exhibit “A”
31 GIFT POLICY 1 7/8/2024

POLICY FOR GIFTS TO THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
Purpose:

To provide guidelines for the City's acceptance of gifts in a responsible, ethical, transparent and accountable manner. This gift policy is prospective and does not apply retroactively to any gifts given to the City prior to the adoption of this policy. Further, this policy is subject to modification or termination by the City at any time.

Types of gifts:

Gifts may be offered only in the form of cash, services or personal property. Donations of real property are not subject to this policy. Any such proposed donation of real property will be evaluated individually.

A “restricted gift” is a gift designated by the donor for a particular City department, location or purpose. The City shall not consider the acceptance of any restricted gift with an estimated value under $2000.

An “unrestricted gift” is a gift without any limitations placed on its use by the City. For the purpose of this policy, the term "gift" includes, without limitation goods or services provided by a City contractor or vendor beyond that specified in its contract with the City. The City, except for good cause, shall not consider the acceptance of any non-restricted gift with an estimated value under $1000.

Procedure:

The City Manager shall perform an initial evaluation of a proposed gift. Factors to be considered include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Whether acceptance of the gift is in the City’s best interest and is consistent with applicable policies, ordinances, and resolutions;
• Whether the acceptance of the gift would give rise to an appearance of impropriety; • In the case of a restricted gift, whether the gift obligates the City to make an immediate or initial City expenditure that has not been included in the approved City budget, and whether it may result in ongoing costs.
• The City shall consider whether to accept a proposed gift at a City Council meeting as an item on its agenda for gifts exceeding an estimated value of $1000 or more. The staff report for the agenda item should discuss the staff's initial evaluation of the proposed gift. There is no need for staff to provide a recommendation to the City Council for each donation. • Gifts below an estimated value of $1000 may be accepted by the City Manager at the City Manger’s discretion and in accordance with this policy. The City Manager shall endeavor to notify the City Council either verbally at a City Council meeting or via written report of gifts received by the City.
• Gifts to the City in no way entitle a resident or other donor to any greater benefit or different treatment than already provided to any other resident or donor. To avoid the appearance of impropriety, among other things, the City shall not accept gifts from or on behalf of any individual or entity who is in the process of obtaining discretionary approval from the City, or 32 GIFT POLICY 2 7/8/2024
who applied for discretionary approval within 12 months prior to the proposed gift. In the event a donor seeks discretionary approval from the City within 12 months following City's acceptance of a gift, the City shall return the gift to the donor when possible. • All gifts shall become City property.
• In the event a monetary restricted gift is provided to the City and the purpose is unable to be accomplished within 5 years, that monetary gift shall convert to an unrestricted gift that can be used for general public purposes.
• Upon acceptance by the City Council, a letter or email of the acknowledgement of the gift shall be sent to the donor, signed by the mayor.
• The City does not provide legal, accounting, tax or other such advice to donors. The City shall only provide to the donor a description of the gift, service or personal property given to the City. The donor shall be responsible for estimating any fair market value for services or personal property donated. The City makes no representation or warranty on the tax deductibility of any gift and directs any donor to consult their CPA, tax professional or other advisor on these matters.
• The City will not accept anonymous gifts. All records of donations shall be subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act.

Policy for Gifts to City Employees
Gifts to individual employees: Compensation for employees performing their public duty is limited to salaries, fringe benefits and any personal satisfaction that employees may derive from doing a good job. Therefore, individual employees shall not accept any personal gifts or tips from anyone other than the City for the performance of acts within the regular course of duties.

Gifts for the benefit of City employees: Edible gifts (e.g., gift baskets) or similar items are allowed but shall be made available to all employees. Alcohol is not allowed.

The City of Rolling Hills proposes to collect funds to cover the expenses for the sanitation services provided to each property owner within the City. The following is a summary of the services and activities associated with the charges:
• To protect public health and safety, Contactor shall provide and maintain all labor, equipment, material, supplies, supervision and all other items necessary for the Collection of all Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, Green Waste, Bulky Items, and Brush generated or accumulated within the City from Residential Premises and City Facilities. The services provided by the Contractor under this Agreement shall be performed in a thorough and professional manner so that all Customers are provided at all times with reliable, courteous and high-quality Solid Waste Management Services.
• Contractor shall collect all properly placed Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials and Organic Waste from the designated collection location of every residential premises in the City twice each week.

• Contractor will provide additional services as outlined in the Amended and Restated Agreement for Residential Solid Waste Management Services.

Sanitation Service Charge Calculation
For Fiscal Year 2015-2016, the sanitation charge in the amount of $1,100 per parcel was established. The sanitation charge remained unchanged through fiscal year 2023. 39 In Fiscal Year 2023-2024, the cost of providing sanitation services increased to $1,432.11 per parcel. The increase from the $1,100 per parcel over the last five fiscal years to $1,432.11 per parcel is based on the direct costs incurred by the City based on the amounts paid to Republic Services for refuse services, which include adjustments for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and landfill costs. The Franchise Agreement requires that Republic Services annually provide evidence of the CPI adjustment to the City Manager for review and approval.

For fiscal year 2024-25, the annual sanitation charge will remain at $1,432.11 per parcel based on the direct cost of providing the service.

Proposition 218 Considerations:

Proposition 218, which the voters of the State of California passed on November 5, 1996, contains requirements for the imposition of a fee or charge for property related services.

Requirements for fees and charges are contained in Section 6 of Article XIII D.

Paragraph (b) describes the requirements for new, existing, or increased fees and charges as follows:
(1) Revenues shall not exceed the funds required to provide the services. (2) Revenues shall not be used for any other purpose.
(3) The amount of the fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel.
(4) No fee or charge may be imposed unless the service is actually used by or immediately available to the owner of the property in question.
(5) No fee or charge shall be imposed for general governmental services, i.e. police, ambulance, library, where the service is available to the public at large in substantially the same manner as it is to the property owners.

This report and recommended charges comply with all five of these requirements:

1. Revenues generated by this charge will not exceed funds required to provide sanitation services and shall not be used for any other purpose, besides what has been described herein.

2. The sanitation charge does not exceed the proportional cost of providing service to the parcels in the City and the charge is for actual use by or immediately available to the owner of the property in question.

SUBJECT: ACCEPT AND APPROVE THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AUDITED

ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
DATE: July 08, 2024
BACKGROUND:

Each year, the City prepares a financial report covering all funds and operations. The financial report provides the City Council and public a measure of the financial condition of the City and the results of operations for the fiscal year. The financial statements are audited each year by an independent CPA firm to ensure that the financial statements are fairly presented.

The accompanying financial statements are referred to as the "Annual Comprehensive Financial Report" (ACFR). As the name implies, the ACFR provides a "comprehensive" presentation of the City's finances. The ACFR is prepared in accordance with standards promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and have been audited by an independent certified public accounting firm. Based on their audit, the firm expresses an opinion as to whether the financial statements are free of any material misstatement and can, thus, be relied upon by the readers of the financial statement.

DISCUSSION:

The attached financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, are not only required to be prepared each year, but they provide important information regarding the financial health of the City, and whether the financial health improved or deteriorated during the fiscal year.

The City's financial operations are organized into various funds. By far, the largest and most important fund is the General Fund, which accounts for a variety of unrestricted revenues, primarily taxes, that pay for core local governmental services, such as law enforcement, planning, building safety, emergency preparedness, and administration. Since the revenues are unrestricted, the City has considerable discretion on how these funds are spent.

The other funds largely account for revenues that are restricted to specified purposes, typically 63 the enabling legislation that imposed the taxes. These funds include Proposition A, Proposition C, Measure R and Measure M. All of these revenues are derived from special sales tax measure approved by Los Angeles County voters over the last few decades and are restricted to transit and transportation purposes.

The City also uses a separate fund to account of solid waste services provided under contract by a private waste hauling company. These services are paid for by City residents through their property taxes billed by Los Angeles County on behalf of the City. This operation is reported as an Enterprise Fund in the annual financial statements, which means the charges for the services must be determined based on the full cost to provide the services.

A summary of the City's financial position and results of operations is provided below.

CITY-WIDE ANALYSIS
The City-wide statements present all City operations in two categories. The governmental activities category includes all City funds except for the Refuse Collection Fund. In addition, this category almost entirely is made up of the General Fund, which is where most City services, along with tax revenues that primarily pay for those services, are reported.

The net position of the City’s governmental activities increased by $302,996, excluding transfers of $214,759. Including transfers the net position increased by $88,237.

The business-type activities include refuse collection operations. Refuse collection services are considered a utility and, as such, are typically fully funded from direct charges to customers utilizing these services. For this reason, they tend to operate much like the private sector and thus are classified as a “business-type activity.” Refuse charges are added to the tax roll each year and are billed by the County of Los Angeles in conjunction with the billing for property taxes. For fiscal year 2022-23, the direct charges totaled $744,696. In addition, the General Fund transferred $214,759 to partly subsidize rates charged to customers and keep the annual charge fixed at $1,100. Note that for fiscal year 2023-24, the rates were increased to fully recover the costs of operations, eliminating the General Fund subsidy going forward.

GENERAL FUND
By far the largest of the governmental funds is the General Fund, in which where most of the City’s operations are accounted for. The General Fund’s financial position decreased by $645,906, which includes capital transfers of $760,528. Excluding capital transfers, the General Fund realized an operating surplus of $344,675. Capital transfers are an intentional use of General Fund reserves to fund capital improvement projects.

Property Tax revenues is the largest General Fund revenue at $1,378,564, making up 48% of total General Fund revenues of $2,781,180. Property Tax revenues increased from the prior year total of $1,323,001 by 55,563 (4.2%), which is a moderate growth for a revenue that historically grows by 3-6% per year. This growth is reflective of the strong real estate market over the last few years driven by low interest rates, strong demand, and a high volume of sales activity.
64 In March of 2021, the President signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), providing $1.9 trillion in federal relief to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of that amount, approximately $64 billion was provided to provide direct and flexible financial resources for every city and town nationwide. The City received a total of $441,364 in two installments of $220,682 each, the first in June 2021 and the second a year later in June of 2022. The second installment was used in fiscal year 2022/23 to cover a portion of law enforcement services. As such, these revenues will not be available in subsequent years.

The City issues permits for building and construction projects undertaken by City residents.

These revenues are highly tied to the economy and housing market. As real estate prices increase, there tends to be an increase in residential building activity. However, starting in 2021, as a result of COVID, building activity, and the associated revenues declined. Several years ago, revenues from building and related permits were almost $800,000. In fiscal year 2020/21, they dropped precipitously to $183,378. With the end of the pandemic, building activity picked up and revenues jumped to $518,309 last fiscal year and to $578,496 in the current fiscal year. Due to the recent rise in interest rates and other factors, building revenues have not performed as well during the first six months of fiscal year 2023-24.

The City receives an allocation from the State of California called the Motor Vehicle License Fee (MVLF). The MVLF is a tax imposed in lieu of a local personal property tax on automobiles. The MVLF is imposed at a rate of 2% on a vehicle's market value, adjusted by a depreciation schedule specified in state law. Pursuant to the State Constitution, VLF revenue is allocated to local governments. Approximately 75% of MVLF is split between cities and counties. The remaining 25% of local government VLF funds are restricted to funding various health, mental health, and social services programs shifted to the counties as part of the 1991 realignment. In fiscal year 2022/23, the City’s allocation totaled $263,988. This revenue is largely affected by the number in, and dollar increase of, car sales. With the recent rise in interest rates, car sales, as with real estate, will likely decrease to some degree.

UTILITY FUND
The Underground Utility Fund on the City’s governmental funds balance sheet is a major fund.

The Capital Projects – Utility Fund provides funds for consultant and construction services for underground utilities projects and other infrastructure improvements. The Capital Projects – Utility Fund has a total fund balance of $665,574.

RESULTS OF AUDIT
The City's financial records and annual financial report is subject to an audit by an independent CPA firm. At the conclusion of the audit, the auditors issue an opinion letter which indicates whether or not the financial statements are free of material misstatement and 65 whether they can be relied upon. Based on their audit, the City received an "unmodified" opinion, which means the financial statements can indeed be relied upon. This opinion letter is included within the financial statements.

The auditors also provide City Council with two other letters separate from the opinion letter and that are not included within the financial report document. The first is a report on internal controls. Although the auditors do not express an opinion on internal controls, they do a fair amount of testing in this area to determine if the City's internal control procedures can be relied upon for purposes on conducting their audit. For example, if internal controls were weak, the auditors would have to perform more substantive test work to reach a comfort level sufficient to issue an unmodified opinion. As a result of the auditor's testing and evaluation of internal controls, the first letter indicates that there were no material weaknesses noted. The second letter contains certain areas the auditors are required to communicate to an audit committee or City Council about. Based on their audit, there were no items that required special communication other than the normal information required under government auditing standards. Both letters are attached.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve as presented.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Rolling Hills, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rolling Hills, California (the “City”) for the year ended June 30, 2023. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated January 15, 2024. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events.

Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:

Management’s estimates of the net pension liability and net other postemployment benefits liability are based on actuarial valuation estimates. We evaluated the methods, assumptions, and data used to develop the actuarial valuation estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We are pleased to report that no such misstatements were identified during the course of our audit. 67 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Rolling Hills, California
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated June 24, 2024.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and the major special revenue funds, and the required pension and other postemployment benefits schedules, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

We were engaged to report on the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.

Future GASB Pronouncements
The following Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements will be effective for the following fiscal years’ audits and should be reviewed for proper implementation by management:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Rolling Hills, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rolling Hills, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 75 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Rolling Hills, California
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 and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and major special revenue funds, and the required pension and other postemployment benefits schedules, as listed on the table of contents, presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules (supplementary information) are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. 2 76
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Rolling Hills, California
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 24, 2024, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management Discussion and Analysis
The following narrative provides an overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Rolling Hills for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in the City’s financial statements.

Financial Highlights
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $7,328,105 (net position). Of this amount, $3,374,868 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $5,912,635. Of this amount $1,285,998 is unassigned and available for spending at the City’s discretion. An additional $2,648,498 is assigned for emergencies and other contingencies pursuant to City policy.
• General Fund revenues exceeded budget by $142,796 before interfund transfers, and expenditures were $885,525 below budget. After operating transfers and a restatement of the beginning fund balance, the General Fund’s fund balance decreased by $645,906.

Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements contain the following three components: 1) Government-wide Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements and 3) Notes to the Financial Statements.

Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private sector business. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are considered regardless of when cash is received or paid.

The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred inflows/outflows of resources 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 of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, some of the revenues and expenses reported in this statement will have no effect on cash until some future fiscal period.

Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from functions that are intended to recover some or all of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities).

Governmental activities. With the exception of refuse services, all of the City’s basic services are reported in this category, including the general administration, public safety, planning and development, recreation and public works. Property taxes, sales tax, real estate transfer tax, licenses and permits, franchise fees, charges for services, interest income, grants, contributions from other agencies, and other revenues finance these activities. 5 79
Business-type activities. The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the costs of certain services it provides. The City’s Refuse Collection operation is reported in this category.

The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 15 to 17 of this report.

Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City’s most significant funds. 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 focus on how money flows in and out of those funds and 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 assets 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. The difference between the results in the Governmental Fund financial statements to those in the Government wide financial statements are explained in a reconciliation following each Governmental Fund financial statement.

In addition to the major funds reported separately on the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance, the City also maintains 7 special revenue funds and one capital project fund. Data from these funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation referred to as other governmental funds.

Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds are provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.

The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for all of its governmental and proprietary funds. A budget comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. This comparison can be found on page 54 of this report.

The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 18 to 24 of this report.

Proprietary funds. When the City charges customers for the services it provides, these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Within the category of proprietary funds are Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for its Refuse activity. Internal service funds are an accounting devise used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses an internal service fund to account for its Municipal Self Insurance costs and accumulated reserves. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, this fund has been included within the governmental activities in the government-wide financial statement.

The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 25 to 27 of this report.

Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 29 to 51 of this report.

Other Information
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are presented immediately following the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 62 to 67 of this report.

Governmental-wide Financial Analysis
Net Position
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. The City’s net position for fiscal years 2021/22 and 2022/23 are shown in Table 1 below. As of June 30, 2023, total assets and deferred outflows exceeded total liabilities and deferred inflows by $7,328,105. This is a slight increase from prior year. Overall, the City’s financial position has been very stable over the last few years. 2022

Of the total net position shown in the bottom section of Table 1, $1,448,092 (19.8%) reflects its investment in capital assets. An additional $2,505,145 (34.2%) of the net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of $3,374,868 (46.0%) is unrestricted and may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations. Of this amount, approximately $2.8 million has been designated by City Council for emergencies, such natural disasters, economic downturns such as the Great Recession in 2008, and other unexpected events that may call upon City financial resources.

Changes in Net Position
Governmental Activities. As previously noted, the governmental activities category includes all City funds except for the Refuse Collection Fund. In addition, this category almost entirely is made up of the General Fund, which is where most city services, along with tax revenues that primarily pay for those services, are reported. 8 82
As shown in Table 2 above, the net position of the City’s governmental activities, which includes all funds except the Refuse Fund, increased by $88,237. Excluding transfers of $214,729, which consists of a transfer to the Refuse Fund, the increase was $302,996. Given the expectations going into the year, as further described later, these are very good results.

Business-Type Activities. The program for the business-type activities includes refuse collection operations.

Refuse collection services are considered a utility and, as such, are typically fully funded from direct charges to customers utilizing these services. For this reason, they tend to operate much like the private sector and thus are classified as a “business-type activity.” In the case of the City’s refuse operation, refuse rates have been partially subsidized by unrestricted General Fund revenues since 2016 in order to keep rates flat at $1,100 per year per parcel in spite of increases each year to the contracted services provided by a private hauling company. In fiscal year 2023, the General Fund transferred $238,729 to the Refuse Collection Fund. This was partially offset by a transfer from the Refuse Collection Fund of $24,000 back to the General Fund to cover administrative overhead costs. This explains the net transfer in of $214,729 shown in Table 2 above.

The net result of operations was a increase in net position of $14,986, increasing the net position to $24,055.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements.

Governmental Funds
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.

As of the end of fiscal year 2022/23, the City’s governmental funds in total reported combined ending fund balances of $5,912,635, which indicates a strong financial position, largely due to the General Fund. This is a decrease of $695,673 from last fiscal year. The decrease is largely attributable to the City’s investment in capital improvements. These costs are reflected both in the General Fund as Transfers Out to the Capital Improvement Fund of $760,528 and to the CalOES Capital Grants Fund of $15,294. These transfers cover the capital outlay costs incurred in these two funds, in addition to grants funds received in the CalOES Capital Grants Fund. This use of General Fund reserves (fund balance) is both appropriate and needed and, as such, represents a planned drawdown of reserves.

By far the largest of the governmental funds is the General Fund, in which where most of the City’s operations are accounted for. The General Fund’s financial position decreased by $645,906 for a net position at June 30, 2023 of $4,633,046 for the reason explained in the preceding paragraph. Excluding transfers, the General Fund realized an operating surplus of $344,675.

General Fund Revenue Highlights
The breakdown of General Fund revenues is shown in the pie chart below.

As shown in the chart above, Property Tax revenues is the largest revenue at $1,378,564, making up 48% of total General Fund revenues of $2,781,180 . Property Tax revenues increased from the prior year total of $1,323,001 by 55,563 (4.2%), which is a moderate growth for a revenue that historically grows by 3-6% per year. This growth is reflective of the strong real estate market over the last few years driven by low interest rates, strong demand, and a high volume of sales activity.

In March of 2021, the President signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), providing $1.9 trillion in federal relief to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of that amount, approximately $64 billion was provided to provide direct and flexible financial resources for every city and town nationwide. The City received a total of $441,364 in two installments of $220,682 each, the first in June 2021 and the second a year later in June of 2022.

The second installment was used in fiscal year 2022/23 to cover a portion of law enforcement services. As such, these revenues will not be available in subsequent years.

The City issues permits for building and construction projects undertaken by City residents. These revenues are highly tied to the economy and housing market. As real estate prices increase, there tends to be an increase in residential building activity. However, starting in 2021, as a result of COVID, building activity, and the associated revenues declined. Several years ago, revenues from building and related permits were almost $800,000. In fiscal year 2020/21, they dropped precipitously to $183,378. With the end of the pandemic, building activity picked up and revenues jumped to $518,309 last fiscal year and to $578,496 in the current fiscal year. Due to the recent rise in interest rates and other factors, building revenues have not performed as well during the first six months of fiscal year 2023/24.

The City receives an allocation from the State of California called the Motor Vehicle License Fee (MVLF). The MVLF is a tax imposed in lieu of a local personal property tax on automobiles. The MVLF is imposed at a rate of 2% on a vehicle's market value, adjusted by a depreciation schedule specified in state law. 10 84
Pursuant to the State Constitution, VLF revenue is allocated to local governments. Approximately 75% of MVLF is split between cities and counties. The remaining 25% of local government VLF funds are restricted to funding various health, mental health, and social services programs shifted to the counties as part of the 1991 realignment. In fiscal year 2022/23, the City’s allocation totaled $263,988. This revenue is largely affected by the number in, and dollar increase of, car sales. With the recent rise in interest rates, car sales, as with real estate, will likely decrease to some degree.

The Underground Utility Fund on the City’s governmental funds balance sheet is a major fund. The Capital Projects – Utility Fund provides funds for consultant and construction services for underground utilities projects and other infrastructure improvements. The Capital Projects – Utility Fund has a total fund balance of $665,574.

Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements but in greater detail.

Ending unrestricted net position for the Refuse Collection - Enterprise Fund is $24,055. The total change in net position for the Refuse Collection - Enterprise Fund was a net position increase of $14,986.

Ending unrestricted net position for the Municipal Self Insurance Fund - Internal Service Fund was unchanged at $268,115.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The fiscal year 2022/23 adopted budget totaled $3.4 million as shown in the Table 3 below. The amended budget, which reflects budget amendments, mostly to capital transfers, totaled $4.4 million.

Totals $ 3,427,561 $ 4,402,611 $ 3,517,086 885,525$
11 85
In contrast, expenditures totaled $3.5 million, resulting in savings of $885,524. With the exception of the Finance Department, all departments are well under budget. The largest savings is in Transfers Out. The budget reflects the total expected amount of capital improvement costs that will be funded by the General Fund. However, because the work generally takes more than one year to complete, the transfers are typically under spent, and the unspent budget dollars will be carried forward into next fiscal year. The other department with a large savings is the Planning Department at $281,373. This total is made up of a number of accounts in which expenditures were below expectations. In many cases, the nature of the planning services ebb and flow from year to year and it is challenging to anticipate the level of expenditures, and thus the budget dollars needed, each year.

Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2023 amounts to $1,448,092. This investment includes land for the City Hall campus, tennis courts, Poppy Trail land, Hesse’s Gap, Hix Ring and Storm Hill Park. Additional information on the City of Rolling Hills capital assets can be found in Note 5 on page 40 of this report.

Long-Term Debt
The City has no bonded indebtedness. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s compensated absences increased from $59,449 to $64,353.

Other Post-Employment Health Care Benefits
The City offers its retired employees medical benefits through CalPERS, which provides medical insurance benefits to eligible retirees. Through CalPERS, the City pre-funds these benefits while the employees are actively working. Pursuant to GASB Statement 78, adopted during fiscal year 2017-18, the City is required to recognize a liability for any unfunded accrued liabilities as determined by an actuary. As of June 30, 2023, the City’s total accrued liability was $564,108. However, this liability was offset by the prefunded investments held by CalPERS on the City’s behalf which totaled $658,510. As a result, the City’s net position was a net surplus/asset of $94,402, which is included on the Statement of Net Position. See Note 10 on pages 48 to 50.

Pension Plan Obligations
The City provides a defined benefit pension plan to its employees which is administered by CalPERS. Details of this pension plan can be found in Note 9 found on page 43 to 47. Pursuant to GASB Statement 68, the City reports any unfunded accrued liabilities in its financial statements. As of June 30, 2023, the net pension liability was $918,010. However, the City has a established a Pension Stabilization Trust Fund to supplement the funding of its pension obligations. The balance in the trust as of June 30, 2023, was $444,568. As such, the plan is approximately 85% funded.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets
The City almost exclusively provides services to the residents of the Rolling Hills Community Association. In addition, it has not retail or commercial businesses within its City limits. As such, the City only typically receives less than $25,000 annually from sales taxes, which are derived entirely from online sales transactions; and its regular and ongoing operations are primarily funded from property taxes assessed on residential properties. Since assessed values grow at 2% or less per state law and are only re-assessed to market value when properties are sold, growth in property taxes tends to range between 3-6% in normal conditions. In fiscal year 2022/23, property taxes grew 4.2%.
12 86
One of the key services provided to the community are related to residential building activity, which generate revenues from building and construction-related permits and fees. These revenues make up approximately 20% of total revenues. Unlike property taxes, building revenues are tied to economic conditions and can be significantly impacted by major economic downturns or other event, such as the recent increase in interest rates.

In fact, we have seen a reduction in large building projects in fiscal year 2023/24, which may have been affected by higher borrowing costs.

The City also receives funding from the state for vehicle licensing fees of approximately $263,000 and $93,000 in other taxes.

The City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget in June 2023, and the following factors were considered in preparing the budget:
• Property taxes are expected to grow by 5%.
• ARPA grant revenues are no longer available.
• A continued favorable trend in building activity and a commensurate increase in building related revenues is assumed. However, the recent increase in interest rates have resulted in some waning of revenues. • Much needed capital improvements are included in the budget, which are being funded from reserves. • At June 30, 2023. the General Fund’s reserves totaled $4,633,046. This represents 170% of the fiscal year 2023/24 General Fund expenditure budget of $2,725,424. Of the $4,633,046, $2,871,180 is set aside as a contingency reserve. The balance is earmarked for capital improvements.

Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet of Governmental Funds To the Statement of Net Position
June 30, 2023
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different because:

Total fund balances - governmental funds $ 5,912,635
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds. 1,448,092
Compensated absences are not due and payable in the current period, and therefore, are not reported in the funds. (64,353)
Governmental funds report all pension contributions as expenditures; however, in the statement of activities, the excess/deficiency of the total pension liability over/under the plan fiduciary net position is reported as a net pension liability/asset. (918,010) Pension-related deferred outflows of resources that have not been included as financial uses in the governmental fund activity are as follows:

Net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments (12,347) Difference in proportionate share (46,319) (58,666)
Governmental funds report all other post-employment benefits contributions as expenditures; however, in the statement of net position, the excess of the plan fiduciary net position over the total other post-employment benefits liability is reported as a net other post-employment benefits asset. 94,402 Other post-employment benefits-related deferred outflows of resources that have not been included as financial uses in the governmental fund activity are as follows:

Contributions made after the actuarial measurement date 42,708 Differences between expected and actual experience 36,480 Assumption changes 72,283

CITY OF ROLLING HILLS, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The basic financial statements of the City of Rolling Hills, California (the 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. The more significant of the City's accounting policies are described below.

A. Description of Entity
The accompanying basic financial statements present the financial activity of the City. The City is the level of government primarily accountable for activities relevant to the operations of the City of Rolling Hills, California.

The City was incorporated on January 25, 1957, under the provisions of the State of California. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: public safety, sanitation, animal control, culture and recreation, public improvement planning and zoning, and general administrative services.

The Rolling Hills Community Association is not a part of the City's reporting entity because the City has no accountability for fiscal matters of the Rolling Hills Community Association.

B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary 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 and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement 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. 29 103

Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City’s proprietary funds function and various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for various functions concerned.

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 government 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 and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when the government receives cash.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, and then use unrestricted resources as needed.

The City reports the following major governmental funds:

The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

The Cal/OES special revenue fund is used to track funding for the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services grant activity and operations.

The Capital Projects Fund is used to facilitate the expenditures necessary to fund and account for various capital projects and capital asset acquisitions throughout the City’s general operations.

The Underground Utility capital projects fund is used to facilitate the expenditures necessary to construct the City's underground utility projects.

The City reports the following major proprietary fund:

The Refuse Collection Fund is used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where the intent of the governing body is that the costs of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.

CITY OF ROLLING HILLS, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
• The internal service fund accounts for the financing of goods and services provided by one department to other departments on a cost reimbursement basis. The City’s internal service fund is for self-insurance.

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the government’s proprietary funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting these definitions are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.

D. Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows and Net Position or Equity Cash and Investments
All cash and investments, except those that are held by fiscal agents, are held in a City pool. These pooled funds are available upon demand and, therefore, are considered cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. Investments held by fiscal agents with an original maturity of three months or less are also considered cash equivalents and are shown as restricted assets for financial statement presentation purposes.

Investments for the City are reported at fair value. The City's policy is generally to hold investments until maturity.

Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (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." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances”. All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of allowance for uncollectibles.

Prepaid Costs
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 using the purchases method.

Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the governmental activities columns in the government-wide financial statements.

The City defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year.
31 105

CITY OF ROLLING HILLS, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Capital Assets
Such assets are recorded at historical cost when purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of acquisition.

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.

Property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure of the primary government are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Assets Years
Building improvements 7-50
Improvements other than buildings 20
Computer equipment 5-20
Equipment and vehicles 5-20
Furniture and fixtures 20
Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate a limited amount of earned but unused vacation, which will be paid to employees in the period taken or upon separation from City's service. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide financial statements. In governmental funds, the cost of vacations is recognized when payments are made to employees.

Accumulated sick leave benefits are not recognized as liabilities of the City. The City's policy is to record sick leave as an operational expense in the period taken, since such benefits do not vest, nor is payment probable; however, unused sick leave is added to the creditable service period for calculation of retirement benefits when the employee retires.

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position and governmental fund balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The government has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. They are deferred outflows relating to the net pension obligation and deferred outflows related to other post-employment benefits reported in the government-wide statement of net position.

These outflows are the results of contributions made after the measurement period, the net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments, changes in actuarial assumptions, differences between expected and actual experiences, and adjustments due to differences in proportions. The amounts for contributions made after the measurement period will be recognized in the subsequent fiscal year; the net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments will be amortized over five years; and all remaining deferrals will be amortized over the remaining expected average remaining service life. 32 106

CITY OF ROLLING HILLS, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position or governmental fund balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The government has three items that qualify for reporting in this category. The government may report one item which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category, accordingly, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet and is related to grant revenue. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. The other items that qualifies for reporting in this category are deferred inflows relating to the net pension obligation and other post-employment benefits reported in the government-wide statement of net position. These inflows are the result changes in actuarial assumptions, differences between expected and actual experiences, adjustments to proportions, and differences in the proportionate share of contributions. These amounts are deferred and amortized over the remaining service life.

Lastly, leases related items for the amount of the lease receivable plus any lease payments related to future periods, less any lease incentives paid to, or on behalf of, the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease term.

Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, government funds report the following fund balance classification:

Non-spendable includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted include amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Committed include amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by the City Council through resolution. The City has no committed fund balance as of June 30, 2023.

Assigned include amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. The assigned balance is set aside with the intent to be used for a specific purpose by the City Council through resolution.

Unassigned include the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes.

An individual governmental fund could include non-spendable resources and amounts that are restricted or unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) or any combination of those classifications. 33 107

The General Fund, Community Facilities Fund, and Underground Utility Fund shall maintain unrestricted fund balance (amount remaining after non-spendable and restricted fund balance) equivalent to a minimum of 100% of originally adopted annual expenditures (excluding one-time expenditures greater than $25,000) before transfers plus any City Council approved committed or assigned fund balance.

Fund Equity Flow Assumptions
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.

Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.

Property Tax
Property tax revenue is recognized on the basis of GASB Code Section P70, that is, in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied providing they become available. Available means due or past due and receivable within the current period and collected within the current period or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter (not to exceed 60 days) to be used to pay liabilities of the current period.

The County of Los Angeles collects property taxes for the City. Tax liens attach annually as of 12:01 AM on the first day in January prior to the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Taxes are levied on both real and personal property, as it exists on that date. The tax levy covers the fiscal period July 1 to June 30. All secured personal property taxes and one-half of the taxes on real property are due November 1; the second installment is due February 1. All taxes are delinquent, if unpaid, by December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured personal property taxes become due on March 1 each year and are delinquent, if unpaid, on August 31. 34 108

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position and additions to/deductions from the fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the CalPERS Financial Office. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. CalPERS audited financial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications.

GASB 68 requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used.

Valuation Date (VD): June 30, 2021
Measurement Date (MD): June 30, 2022
Measurement Period (MP): July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022
Other Post-Employment Benefits Plan
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability (asset), deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s plan (OPEB Plan), the assets of which are held by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined by an independent actuary. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:

Valuation Date (VD): June 30, 2021
Measurement Date (MD): June 30, 2022

NOTE 2: CASH AND INVESTMENTS
As of June 30, 2023, cash and investments were reported in the accompanying financial statements as follows:

Cash and investments as of June 30, 2023, consisted of the following:

The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required to be held by fiscal agents under provisions of bond indentures. Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated annually to the various funds based on average daily cash balances. Interest Income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.

A. Deposits
As of June 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the City’s deposits was $131,137 and the bank balance was $198,489.

The $67,352 difference represents outstanding checks and deposits in transit.

The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure a City’s deposits by pledging government securities with a value of 110% of a City’s deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of a City’s total deposits. The City Treasurer may waive the collateral requirement for deposits which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. The collateral for deposits in federal and state chartered banks is held in safekeeping by an authorized Agent of Depository recognized by the State of California Department of Banking. The collateral for deposits with savings and loan associations is generally held in safekeeping by the Federal Home Loan Bank in San Francisco, California as an Agent of Depository. These securities are physically held in an undivided pool for all California public agency depositors. Under Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a bank or savings and loan association with an “Agent of Depository” has the effect of perfecting the security interest in the name of the local governmental agency. Accordingly, all collateral held by California Agents of Depository are considered to be held for, and in the name of, the local governmental agency.

B. Investments
Under provision of the City’s investment policy, and in accordance with the California Government Code, the following investments are authorized:
• U.S. Treasury Bonds, Notes and Bills
• Money Market Savings Accounts
• Local Agency Investment Fund (State Pool)
• Deposit of Funds
C. Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
The above investments do not address investment of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee. Investments of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy.

D. Investments in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. LAIF is overseen by the Local Agency Investment Advisory Board, which consists of five members, in accordance with State statute.

The State Treasurer’s Office audits the fund annually. The fair value of the position in the investment pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.

E. Pension Rate Stabilization Program Section 115 Trust In July 2018, the City Council authorized participation in the PARS Pension Rate Stabilization Program Section 115 Trust in order to mitigate rising pension costs through CalPERS. The initial funding amount was $185,000. The program has been established as a multiple employer trust so that public agencies regardless of size can join the program and receive the necessary economies of scale to keep administrative feels low and avoid any setup costs.

The trust permits the City, under Federal and State law, to invest in a more diversified array of investments to maximize investment returns long term. The balance of the Trust at June 30, 2023 is $444,568 and is reported as restricted cash and investments.

F. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. The City mitigates its credit risk generally by following its three primary investment objectives, in order, of safety, liquidity and yield. The California Government Code generally limits allowable investments to those classes of investments with lower risk (and therefore lower yields). The City's investment policy further restricts these investments to the highest quality within a category and excludes certain otherwise allowable investments as not meeting the City's liquidity requirement.

Credit risk is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

As of June 30, 2023, all securities were investment grade and were legal under State and City law. Investments in U.S. government securities are not considered to have a credit risk and, therefore, their credit quality is not disclosed As of June 30, 2023, the City's investments in external investment pools and money market mutual funds are unrated.

G. Custodial Credit Risk
The 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 deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.

As of June 30, 2023, $327,280 of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk, although deposits are classified as local agency collateralized deposit account.

H. Concentration of Credit Risk
The City is in compliance with restrictions imposed by its investment policy, which limits certain types of investments.

As of June 30, 2023, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 40, if the City has invested more than 5% of its total investments in any one issuer then it is exposed to credit risk. The Investments guaranteed by the U.S. government and investments in mutual funds and external investment pools are excluded from this.

As of June 30, 2023, none of the City’s deposits or investment were exposed to concentration of credit risk.

I. Interest Rate Risk
The City's investment policy limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. The City's investment policy establishes a maximum maturity of three years for all individual investments.

As of June 30, 2023, the City had the following investments and original maturities:

B. Primary Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. A retrospective adjustment is then conducted annually thereafter, for coverage years 2012-13 and prior. Coverage years 2013-14 and forward are not subject to routine annual retrospective adjustment. The total funding requirement for primary self-insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool.

Primary Liability Program
Claims are pooled separately between police and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $500,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.

The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence.

Subsidence losses also have a $50 million per occurrence limit. The coverage structure is composed of a combination of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and excess insurance. Additional information concerning the coverage structure is available on the Authority’s website: https://cjpia.org/coverage/risk-sharing-pools/.

Primary Workers’ Compensation Program
Claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $75,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $75,000 to $200,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $200,000 to statutory limits are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.

For 2022-23 the Authority’s pooled retention is $1 million per occurrence, with reinsurance to statutory limits under California Workers’ Compensation Law. Employer’s Liability losses are pooled among members to $1 million.

Coverage from $1 million to $5 million is purchased through reinsurance policies, and Employer’s Liability losses from $5 million to $10 million are pooled among members.

C. Purchased Insurance
Pollution Legal Liability Insurance
The City participates in the pollution legal liability insurance program which is available through the Authority. The policy covers sudden and gradual pollution of scheduled property, streets, and storm drains owned by the City.

Coverage is on a claims-made basis. There is a $250,000 deductible. The Authority has an aggregate limit of $20 million.

The total plan contributions are determined through the CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. For public agency cost-sharing plans covered by either the Miscellaneous or Safety risk pools, the Plan’s actuarially determined rate is based on the estimated amount necessary to pay the Plan’s allocated share of the risk pool’s costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.

The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2022, and the total pension liability for the Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021 rolled forward to June 30, 2022 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for the Plan as of June 30, 2021 and 2022, was as follows:

Actuarial Assumptions
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2022 (the measurement date), the total pension liability was determined by rolling forward the June 30, 2021, total pension liability. The June 30, 2022 total pension liability was based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions
Discount rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary increases Varies by entry age and services
Mortality rate table Derived using CalPERS’ membership data for all funds Post-retirement benefit increase The lesser of contract COLA or 2.30% until purchasing power protection allowance floor on purchasing power applies,

2.30% thereafter
The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include 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 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions 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 of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:

Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability of the Plan, calculated using the discount rate for the Plan, as well as what the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1% point lower (5.90 percent) or 1% point higher (7.90 percent) than the current rate:

The actual contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements. For the measurement dated ended June 30, 2022, the City’s contributions were $42,708 in total payments, which were recognized as a reduction to the OPEB liability.

D. Net OPEB Asset
The City’s net OPEB asset was measured as of June 30, 2022 and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB asset was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2022 to determine the June 30, 2022 total OPEB liability, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Inflation: 2.50% per year
Investment Return / Discount Rate: 6.25% per year
Healthcare Trend: 4.00% per year
Payroll Increase: 2.75% per year
2017 CalPERS Mortality for Active Miscellaneous Employees Retirement Rates: 2017 CalPERS 2.0% @ 62 Rates for Miscellaneous Employees (adjusted to reflect a minimum retirement age of 52 for those hired after 2012) The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Asset Class
Target
Allocation
Assumed
Gross Return
All Equities 40.00% 7.545%
All Fixed Income 43.00% 4.250%
Real Estate Investment Trusts 8.00% 7.250%

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 10: OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS (CONTINUED) E. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries.

Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

G. Sensitivity of the Net OPEB Asset to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the net OPEB asset of the City if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage point lower or one percentage point higher than the current rate, for measurement period ended June 30, 2022:

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
NOTE 11: DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Pursuant to the IRC 457 subsection (g); all amounts of compensation deferred under the deferred compensation plan, all property, or rights are solely the property and rights of the employee and beneficiaries of the plan. Deferred compensation funds are not subject to the claims of the City’s general creditors; consequently, the assets and related liabilities of the plan are not included within the City’s financial statements. The ending investment balance of the plan as of June 30, 2023, was $238,709.

NOTE 12: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. Litigation
In the opinion of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, there are no known claims which would exceed the City's applicable coverage. The City's management is not aware of any lawsuits or claims that would have a material adverse effects on the financial position of the City.

B. Grants
Amounts received or receivable from granting agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies.

While no matters of non-compliance were disclosed by prior year's audits of the financial statements or by a prior year single audit of a Federal grant program; grantor agencies may subject grant programs to additional compliance tests, which may result in disallowed costs. In the opinion of management, future disallowances of current or prior grant expenditures, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the City.

NOTE 13: RESTATEMENTS
Grant expenditures totaling $14,050 were incorrectly charged to the LEAP Grant Fund in fiscal year 2022. Upon further consideration, these costs should have been charged to the General Fund and the fund balance as of June 30, 2022 has been restated by ($14,050) and $14,050 in the General Fund and LEAP Grant Fund, respectively.

During fiscal year 2019, the City purchased Rule 20A Credits from the City of Palos Verdes Estates, valued at $1,125,491, which was approved by Southern California Edison Company. Based on negotiated prices, the cost to the City was $675,295 and was recorded as a deposit asset. Upon further analysis by the City regarding the accounting of this payment, it was determined that the $675,295 should have been recorded as a current expenditure within the Underground Utility Fund. The fund balance as of June 30, 2022 of the Underground Utility Fund has since been restated by $675,295.

NOTE 14: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The City evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through June 24, 2024, the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued. Management concluded that no material subsequent events have occurred since June 30, 2023, that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements. 51 125

STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. General Budget Policies
The City Council is required to adopt an annual budget resolution by July 1 of each fiscal year. Annual budgets are adopted and presented for reporting purposes on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.

The City Council reviews a tentative budget and adopts a final budget after a public hearing is conducted to receive comments prior to adoption. The City's governing board satisfied these requirements.

Expenditures may not exceed the total annual budgeted amount in any category without the approval of the City Council. Throughout the fiscal year, monthly financial reports comparing actual figures with budgeted figures are prepared and distributed to the City Manager and members of the City Council. As these reports are reviewed, attention is drawn to variations between budgeted amounts and actual amounts and if necessary the City Council considers the need for increases in expenditure categories. The original adopted budgets are revised by the City Council during the year to give consideration to these modified expenditure categories and to unanticipated income. It is this final revised budget including all revisions and amendments approved by the City Council subsequent to the initial budget adoption that is presented in the financial statements.

The level of appropriated budgetary control is the total adopted budget which is defined as the total budget for all funds and divisions. The City Manager may authorize transfers of appropriations within the sub-categories of the major expenditure categories of the adopted budget. Supplemental appropriations during the year must be approved by the City Council.

The Community Facilities, Transportation Development Act, TDA Article 3, SB 12383 Grant, and LEAP Grant special revenue funds did not adopt a budget for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

Unexpended or unencumbered appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year. Encumbered appropriations are reappropriated in the subsequent year's budget by action of the City Council.

Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations
For the year ended June 30, 2023, expenditures exceeded appropriations in the finance department (the legal level of budgetary control) of the general government function of the General Fund by $49,848. In addition, expenditures exceeded appropriations in the capital outlay function of the General Fund by $11,173. Total expenditures did not exceed appropriations in the General Fund.

Additionally, expenditures exceeded appropriations in the public safety function of the Cal/OES and COPS Fund by $13,945 and $373, respectively. Total expenditures did not exceed appropriations in the Cal/OES and COPS Fund.

B. Deficit Fund Equity
At June 30, 2023, The City reported deficit fund equities in the following funds:

Fund Name Fund Type Deficit Cause
Transportation Development Act Nonmajor Special Revenue Fund (5,000) $ (a) LEAP Grant Fund Nonmajor Special Revenue Fund (7,589) (a) (a) Deficit due to timing differences between grant receipts and disbursements, and is expected to be eliminated through future grant revenues. 53 127

Changes of Benefit Terms: There were no changes to benefit terms that applied to all members of the Public Agency Pool. However, individual employers in the Plan may have provided a benefit improvement to their employees such as Golden Handshakes, service purchases, and other prior service costs. Employers that have done so may need to report this information as a separate liability in their financial statement as CalPERS considers such amounts to be separately financed employer-specific liabilities. These employers should consult with their auditors. Additionally, the figures above do not include any liability impact that occurred after the June 30, 2021 valuation date, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material to the Public Agency Pool. (1) Historical information is required only for measurement for which GASB 68 is applicable. Fiscal Year 2014-15 was the first year of implementation, therefore only nine years are shown.

Changes of Assumptions: Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. 56 130

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON

COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Rolling Hills, 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, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rolling Hills, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 24, 2024.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the 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.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.

However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. 150
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Rolling Hills, California
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 City’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 City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Mtg. Date: 07/08/2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 1372 APPROVING THE UPDATED FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 PAY SCHEDULE TO COMPLY WITH CALIFORNIA

PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM (CALPERS)

STATUTORY AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR

COMPENSATION EARNABLE AND PUBLICLY AVAILABLE PAY

SCHEDULES
DATE: July 08, 2024
BACKGROUND:

The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) requires that the City Council regularly adopt a master salary schedule listing pay rates/ranges for all city-established positions, including the City Manager position. CalPERS Circular Letter 200-00320 (Attachment B) mandates that public agencies maintain and publish comprehensive salary schedules for all positions. This requirement is essential for maintaining the integrity of the pension system, ensuring fair and equitable compensation, and fostering public trust in the management of public funds.

This evening, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution (Attachment A), which establishes the City's Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (FY24-25) Salary and Hourly Compensation Schedule for the city's classifications.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Rolling Hills has not adopted a master salary schedule by Resolution to reflect the current pay ranges. Accordingly, the attached resolution will establish the City’s Salary and Hourly Compensation Schedule for Employees in City Service.

Exhibit A of Resolution No. 1372 is a Salary Schedule table describing full-time and part-time classifications, authorized positions, and the minimum and monthly salary range.

The Salary Schedule includes a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) that took effect on July 1, 2024, and was accounted for in the FY24-25 budget. Additionally, adjustments to employee salaries have been factored in. For reference, staff have included language from Section 1 of 166
the Rolling Hills Employee Handbook: Cost of Living Adjustment. “annually, employees will receive a COLA in their salary or hourly rate based on the month of March, Los Angeles/Orange County/Riverside Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all items. The COLA will be applied to employee salaries or hourly rates automatically, not to exceed 3.5% on July 1 of every year based on the March CPI. On July 1 of every year, position salary ranges will also adjust automatically. The salary range will adjust based on the month of March, Los Angeles/Orange County/Riverside CPI for all items not to exceed 3.5%.” Conclusion:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to formalize the employee salary schedule and ensure compliance with CalPERS Circular Letter 200-00320.

This resolution will mandate the salary schedule's regular updating and public availability.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact was included in the FY24-25 Adopted Budget.

Circular Letter: 200-003-20
Distribution: IV, VI, X, XII, XVI
To: All CalPERS Contracted Agencies (Public Agency, Schools, and State) Subject: Statutory and Regulatory Requirements for Publicly Available Pay Schedules Purpose
The purpose of this Circular Letter is to inform all CalPERS Contracted Agencies of the requirements for providing CalPERS with a Publicly Available Pay Schedule in compliance with the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR).

Purpose of Publicly Available Pay Schedules
Under the PERL and PEPRA, compensation earnable and pensionable compensation are determined in accordance with amounts identified on publicly available pay schedules.

Compensation Earnable
Under Government (Gov.) Code sections 20636 and 20636.1, compensation earnable means the pay rate and special compensation of the member, as further defined by those statutes.

Pay rate for contracting agency and school members is deemed the normal monthly rate of pay or base pay of the member paid in cash to similarly situated members of the same group or class of employment for services rendered on a full-time basis during normal working hours, pursuant to publicly available pay schedules. Pay rate for contracting agency and school members who are not in a group or class is deemed the monthly rate of pay or base pay of the member, paid in cash and pursuant to publicly available pay schedules, for services rendered on a full-time basis during normal working hours, subject to specified limitations. 173
Circular Letter: 200-003-20
January 8, 2020

Pay rate for state members is deemed the average monthly remuneration paid in cash out of funds paid by the employer to similarly situated members of the same group or class of employment, in payment for the member’s services or for time during which the member is excused from work, as further specified by subdivision (g) of Gov. Code 20636, pursuant to publicly available pay schedules.

Pensionable Compensation
Pursuant to Gov. Code section 7522.34, pensionable compensation of a new member of any public retirement system means the normal monthly rate of pay or base pay of the member paid in cash to similarly situated members of the same group or class of employment for services rendered on a full-time basis during normal working hours, pursuant to publicly available pay schedules, subject to specified limitations.

Requirements of Publicly Available Pay Schedules
Subdivision (a) of CCR section 570.5 defines the requirements for a publicly available pay schedule used to determine pay rates.

Pay rates shall be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that must meet all the following eight (8) requirements:

1. Be duly approved and adopted by the employer's governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meetings laws

2. Identify the position title for every employee position

3. Show the pay rate as a single amount or multiple amounts within a range for each identified position

4. Indicate the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually

5. Be posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer's website

6. Indicate an effective date and date of any revisions

7. Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years

8. Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate Here is an example of a compliant pay schedule, to the extent it has been duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meeting laws, it is posted on the employer’s website, and it is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years:

Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year 17-18
Effective as of 07/01/2017
Special Compensation
Pursuant to CCR section 571 for classic members, and CCR section 571.1 for new members under PEPRA, special compensation items are defined under an exclusive list. Each special compensation item shall be reported separately from pay rate, in accordance with the criteria described in those regulations. Therefore, a publicly available pay schedule in which the special compensation items are reflected in the pay rates does not comply with CCR section 570.5.

Absence of Publicly Available Pay Schedule
If an employer fails to meet the requirements of subdivision (a) of CCR section 570.5, under subdivision (b), the board may determine in its sole discretion an amount that will be considered as pay rate, taking into consideration all information it deems relevant including, but not limited to, the following:
• Documents approved by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of public meeting laws and maintained by the employer
• Last pay rate listed on a pay schedule that conforms to the requirements of subdivision (a) with the same employer for the position at issue
• Last pay rate for the member that is listed on a pay schedule that conforms with the requirements of subdivision (a) with the same employer for a different position • Last pay rate for the member in a position that was held by the member and that is listed on a pay schedule that conforms to the requirements of subdivision (a) of a former CalPERS employer.

Importance of Publicly Available Pay Schedule
Publicly available pay schedules are required by CalPERS and are a critical component to verify all members’ pay rates when calculating members’ retirement benefits. Maintaining a compliant publicly available pay schedule will support transparency and expedite CalPERS’ review process.

Failure to provide CalPERS with a compliant publicly available pay schedule may result in a retirement benefit being delayed.

Questions

If you have any questions or concerns, contact the CalPERS Customer Contact Center at 888 CalPERS (or 888-225-7377), or email [email protected].
