1 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the City Council
City of Sacramento, California
Report on the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Transportation Development Act Fund (the Fund) of the City of Sacramento (the City) as of and for years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes to the 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 financial position of the Transportation Development Act Fund of the City of Sacramento as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the changes in financial position thereof for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordan ce with auditing standards generally accep ted 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 responsibilitie s under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Stat ements 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 related to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis-of-Matter
As discussed in Note B, the financial statements presen t only the Transportation Development Act Fund of the City of Sacramento and do not purport to, and do not, present fa irly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the changes in financial position, or where a pplicable, its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about wh ether 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 opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and theref ore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accord ance with generally accepte d 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, intentional omissions, To the City Council
City of Sacramento, California
2 misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a likelihood that, individually or in aggregate, they would influence the judgement made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted au diting standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of 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 us ed and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
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
Management has omitted management’s discussion and an alysis and budgetary comparison information that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be pr esented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, al though 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.
Our opinion on the financial statements is not affected by this missing information.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 10, 2025 on our consideration of the County’s internal control over financial reporting related to the Fund and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters, and the Transportation Development Act. The purpose of that report is 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. Th at report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

5 NOTE A – ORGANIZATION
The City of Sacramento (the City) receives funds under the provisions of the Transportation Development Act (TDA) from the Sacramento County Local Transportation Fund (LTF) under Article 3, Section 99234 for pedestrian and bicycle facilities. These funds represent amounts se t aside by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, the transportation planning agency administering TDA funds, to be allocated for pedestrian and bicycle facilities within the jurisdictions of Sacramento County and represen t up to 2% of the available funds countywide. The City of Sacramento’s Transportation Development Act Fund is used to account for these TDA funds received by the City.
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The financial statements of the Tr ansportation Development Act Fund (the Fund) of the City of Sacramento have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental units. The Government al Accounting Standards Board is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
Reporting Entity: The financial statements are intended to present the financial position and results of operations of only those transactions recorded in the Fund. The Fund is included in the financial statements of the City.
Fund Accounting: The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds or account groups. A fund or account group is an accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts establishe d to record the financial position and results of operations of a specific governmental activity.
The City utilizes the special revenue fund type of the governmental fund group to account for the activities of the Fund. Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes.
Basis of Accounting: The accounting and financial reportin g treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. A special revenue fund is accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus.
With this measurement focus, only current assets, defe rred outflows of resources, current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources generally are included on the balan ce sheet. Operating statemen ts of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and d ecreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by special revenue funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized wh en susceptible to accrual, i.e., when they become both measurable and available. “Measurable” means the amount of the transac tion can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period, which is generally 60 days. LTF revenues are recognized when a ll eligibility requirements have been met. The amount reported as deferred inflows of resources represents amounts that do not meet both the “measurable” and “available” criteria for recognition in the current period. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred.
When both restricted and non-restricted ty pe resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then non-restricted resources as they are needed.
Deferred Inflows of Resources: Deferred inflows of resources in governmental funds arises when a potential revenue source does not meet both the “measurable” and “available” criteria for recognition in the current period.
Deferred inflows of resources consisted of LTF revenues for which all eligibility requirements had been met at year end, but the amounts were not received from SACOG within the 60 day availability period.
Fund Balance: Restrictions of fund balance represent amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external re source providers or through enabling legi slation. The restrictions of fund balance are according to the provisions of the Transportation Development Act and the purpose of each restriction is indicated by the account title on the face of the balance sheets.

June 30, 2024 and 2023
6 NOTE C – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Investment Policy: The City’s investment policy may be found in the notes to the City’s basic financial statements.
Investment in the City’s Investment Pool: The Fund’s cash is held in the City of Sacramento Treasury. The City maintains an investment pool and allocates interest to the various funds based upon the average daily cash balances.
Investments held in the City’s investment pool are availa ble on demand to the Fund an d are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that ch anges in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average maturity of the investments contained in the City’s investment pool was approximately 1.19 years and 1.78 years, respectively.
Credit Risk: Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issu er of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The City’s investment pool does not have a rating provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Custodial Credit Risk: Custodial risk is the risk that the g overnment will not be able to recover its deposits or the value of its investments that are in the possession of an outs ide party. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government’s indirect deposits or investment in securities through the use of government investment pools (such as the City’s investment pool).

7 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
AND THE TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT
To the City Council
City of Sacramento, California
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the Transportation Development Act Fund (the Fund) of the City of Sacramento (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Fund’s basic fi nancial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 10, 2025.
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 opinion 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 combinatio n 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 purpo se described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficien cies 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 a material weakness. However, materi al 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 of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our audit was further made to determine that Transportati on Development Act (TDA) funds allocated and received by the City were expended in conformance with the applicab le statutes, rules and regulations of the TDA and Section 6666 of the California Code of Regulations. 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 or the TDA.
To the City Council
City of Sacramento, California
8 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 pa rt of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the TDA in considering the City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
