Issue Detail: The City’s FY2024/25 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) presents the City’s financial condition and the results of activities for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2025. The independent public accounting firm Macias, Gini & O’Connell LLP has audited the ACFR financial statements, as required by the Sacramento City Charter section 117.
Overview of Report
The City prepared the ACFR to present financial information in a standard format prescribed by the Government Finance Officers Association. The ACFR is organized as follows:
· An Introductory Section with a transmittal letter summarizing economic conditions, budget initiatives and other information.
· A Financial Section which begins with Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), a narrative overview, analysis of the financial statements, and comments on the City’s financial outlook. The basic financial statements follow the MD&A and report the financial position and the results of the operations of the City as a whole, and the
File ID: 2026-00453 2/10/2026
financial performance of the City’s major funds. Footnotes to the financial statements are included to provide additional information. Finally, combining fund financial statements are presented to provide additional financial details of the City’s activities. · A Statistical Section with selected financial, demographic, and operating trend information.
In FY2024/25 the City implemented two new accounting and financial reporting standards issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) in the ACFR:
· Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences.
· Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures.
General/Measure U Fund Combined FY2024/25 Financial Results The combined FY2024/25 net budgetary results for the General/Measure U Fund resulted in $7.7 million in available fund balance:

Budget ($s in 000s)
Operating Results $2.8
Investments Fair Market Gain $12.0
TOTAL $14.8
9/9 Council Action - SPOA Arbitration Costs ($7.1)
GRAND TOTAL $7.7
Major Tax Revenues were above budget by $4.5M driven by Property Tax, Sales and Use Tax, Measure U Sales Tax, Business Operations Tax, and Transient Occupancy Tax results. This helped offset below budget results from the Utility Users Tax and Real Property Transfer Tax.

Interest, rents, and concessions revenues were positive versus budget as interest rates remained elevated versus prior year leading to higher interest income on the Treasury Pool.
City operations were negative versus budget primarily due to higher expenses in the Fire Department.
The fair market gain on investments is a reversal of fair market losses the City incurred in fiscal years. When the Federal Reserve increased interest rates, the market value of the City’s investment portfolio decreased, creating unrealized losses. These unrealized losses need to be accounted for during year end per Governmental Accounting Standards Board requirements, which decreased year end results in previous fiscal years. As the City effectively managed its cash flow and did not have to sell these assets and recognize the losses, and the securities have matured and the City invested those funds in higher yield securities, the City can now repay itself for the unrealized losses.
Although Measure U is a General Purpose tax, the City’s financial statements separate the General Fund and Measure U and more detail on each fund is below:

General Fund FY2024/25 Financial Results
The following schedule summarizes the FY2024/25 net budgetary results for the General Fund:
1 FY2024/25 Unassigned Fund Balance as represented in this chart reflects the General Fund activities/results for the current fiscal year plus unassigned fund balance from prior fiscal year of $22.6 million that was not used due to budget savings with vacancies. The total unassigned fund balance for General Fund as of 6/30/2024, including new and previous resources, was approximately $23.0 million. General Fund for FY2024/25 was combined with fund 1003 ARPA reinvestment Fund, and fund 1004 Measure L Children fund, fund 1003 also carried an unassigned amount of $4.5 million (see page 24 of the ACFR for additional information). 2 The main cause of the variance in Citywide revenues/expenditure results is that salary savings are budgeted centrally, but the actual savings are reflected in the departmental results.
Revenues
Total General Fund revenue exceeded the FY2024/25 Approved Budget as amended by $26.1� million. Tax revenue was $3.0 million higher than the budget projections, a variance of 1%. Property� Taxes ended higher than projected by $2.3 million, the result of increases in market value and� activity. Other Taxes, including Sales and Use Tax, Property Transfer, Utility User, Business� Operations, and Transient Occupancy Taxes ended lower than projected by $.7 million.� Intergovernmental revenue was $25.0 million higher than the budget projection mainly due to more� federal reimbursement for fire emergency medical services. Charges for services were $24.0 million� lower than the budget projection due to lower-than-expected Fire emergency transportation fee� revenue. Please refer to page 32 of the ACFR for the budget to actual comparison.
File ID: 2026-00453 2/10/2026
Expenditures
Most operating departments ended FY2024/25 within their budgeted operating expenditure authority.
The City Attorney and Fire departments were the only exceptions. Details on departments’ year-end results are provided in the chart below.
Departments that had significant variances between budget and year-end results have provided the� following explanations:
Community Development - Positive results are primarily due to labor savings from vacant positions.
Finance - Positive results are primarily due to labor savings from vacant positions and better than� expected revenue associated with unclaimed property.
Fire - Negative results are primarily due to payroll costs including overtime, mainly in the Fire� Suppression division.
Police - Positive results are primarily due to labor savings from vacant positions.
Measure U Fund FY2024/25 Financial Results
The following schedule summarizes the FY2024/25 net budgetary results which resulted in negative $15.3 million in fund balance:

Revenues
Total Measure U Fund departmental revenues were higher than the FY2024/25 Approved Budget as amended by $3.9 million. The positive revenue variance was due to higher than anticipated retail transactions and higher than anticipated interest revenue due to better-than-expected interest rates.
Expenditures
Most operating departments ended FY2024/25 within their budgeted operating expenditure authority.
The Mayor/Council and Convention and Cultural Services departments were the only exceptions.

At the end of FY2024/25, the General/Measure U Economic Uncertainty Reserve totaled $76.4 million, 9% of General Fund revenues and $7.5 million below the minimum balance per Council policy. There were no contributions during this fiscal year.
Auditor’s Letter to the City Council
The auditor’s letter to the City Council is additional communication required by audit standards which conveys that there were no difficulties encountered performing the audit or disagreements between the auditors and City staff. The letter also includes information about significant estimates and footnote disclosures included in the financial statements. Refer to attachment 4 for additional information.
Policy Considerations: This report is required by the City Charter, federal and state grant requirements, and bond covenants.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): This action is not a project subject to CEQA because it involves only organizational or administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment (CEQA Guidelines §15378(b)(5)).
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: It is in the best interest of the City to accept the FY2024/25 ACFR and the auditor’s letter to the City Council for the following reasons:
· The annual audit is required by section 117 of the Sacramento City Charter, federal and state grant requirements, and bond covenants.
File ID: 2026-00453 2/10/2026
· The public accounting firm Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP has audited the City’s FY2024/25 financial statements and has rendered its unmodified opinion that the financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
· The auditor’s letter to the City Council reflects no significant audit issues or disagreements with management in connection with this audit.
Financial Considerations: General Fund and Measure U budgetary results for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2025, resulted in one-time resources in the amount of approximately $7.7 million.
This amount includes $12.0 million related to recovery of unrealized fair market loss on investments.
The City is currently projecting a substantial structural deficit in future fiscal years. The $7.7 million is a one-time resource and consistent with Council adopted policy can be utilized to partially offset the projected FY2026/27 budget deficit.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): No goods or services are being purchased under this report.
RESOLUTION NO.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Residents of the City of Sacramento
City of Sacramento, California:
Dear Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of the City of Sacramento:
We are pleased to present the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the City of Sacramento, California (City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Article IX of the City Charter, federal law, and state law require that the City issue an annual report on its financial position and activity, and that the report be audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants. Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP, a national certified public accounting firm, performed the audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Their unmodified (“clean”) opinion has been included as the first component of the financial section of the ACFR.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal controls that have been established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. The MD&A complements this transmittal letter and should be read in conjunction with it.
PROFILE OF THE CITY
The City of Sacramento, capital of the State of California, was established in 1849. The sixth largest city in California based on population, Sacramento also serves as the seat of Sacramento County government. The State of California Department of Finance estimated the population on January 1, 2025, at 527,979 for the City and 1,604,745 for the County. Encompassing approximately 100 square miles, the City is located in the northern section of California’s Central Valley at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers. i
Sacramento is a charter city operating under a Council-Manager form of government. The City provides a full range of municipal services in cluding police, fire, emergency medical response, water, wastewater, storm drainage, solid waste, construction and maintenance of streets and parks, community development, recreational and cultural activities, economic development, and administrative services.
REPORTING ENTITY
This ACFR presents the financial status of the City and its three component units. Component units are separate legal entities included in this report due to significant operational or financial relationships with the City as defined below:
Sacramento City Financing Authority (SCFA) and Sacramento Public Financing Authority (SPFA) are entities created to issue debt to fina nce City projects.
The financial statements for these entities are reported on a blended basis as part of the primary government because the boards are composed of all City Council members.
Sacramento City Employees’ Retirement System (SCERS) , a single employer pension plan for certain City employees and retirees, is reported as a fiduciary component unit. The SCERS pension plan was closed to new enrollment of employees in 1977.
BUDGET INFORMATION
The City Charter requires that the City Manager submit a proposed budget to the City Council at least 60 days prior to the start of each fiscal year. Once approved by City Council, the annual budget serves as the foundation for the City‘s financial planning, control and reporting. Budgetary control is maintained at the department level by fund. Budgetary control for multi-year projects is maintained at the individual project level by fund. The City Manager is authorized to administratively amend department budgets during the year for transactions up to $250,000 without City Council approval. Additional budgetary information can be found in Note 1 to the financial statements and on the City’s website.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The regional economy and employment base continue its long-term transition from a state government concentration to a diverse economic base including health care providers, high-tech manufacturers, software development companies, biotechnology and medical research laboratories, food processors, and medical equipment manufacturers. The region is also a transportation hub served by air cargo airports, an international airport, a deep-water shipping port, two major interstate freeways, freight and passenger rail lines, and an extensive regional commuter bus and light-rail system. These key industries interface with Sacramento’s service, hospitality, and government employers.
ii
The regional economy continues to expand, and the City is closely monitoring key economic indicators which form revenue and expense projections. The local labor market remains robust, but unemployment has increased with the June 2025 unemployment rate for the Sacramento metropolitan area increasing to 5.3% compared to 4.8% a year earlier. The City is closely monitoring Federal Reserve policy and federal trade policy due to their impact on the macroeconomy, housing market, and consumer spending which are key drivers of major City revenue sources such as property tax and sales tax. The City’s major revenue sources continue to grow, however fluctuations in the real estate market, levels of new construction activity, inflation rate and shifts in consumer behavior can affect that growth. Balancing the City’s increased costs of doing business, which is outpacing revenue growth, is a key priority in the coming FYs.
B
UDGET INITIATIVES AND LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
The FY2025/26 Operating, and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budgets (Approved Budget) were approved on June 10, 2025. The Approved Budget is a balanced $1.7 billion spending plan for City programs and services and supports a workforce of almost 5,000 employees. It closed a $62.2 million funding gap by taking a strategic approach to revenue enhancements and expenditure reductions and reflects the input provided by Council, City department heads, and the public. It maintains funding for key priorities such as reducing homelessness through the operation of 1,350 shelter beds despite the reduction in State homelessness funding, the newly established Transportation Safety Team, Streamline Sacramento initiatives, The Old Sacramento waterfront, the Railyards transformation and New Library facilities.
The CIP Budget totals $137.3 million and provides funding to projects across the City, including $15.1 million in the General Funds. Th
e CIP also provides estimates for strategic investments in capital assets over the next five fiscal years. As part of the Budget, the City provides a five-year Operating Budget forecast as a long-term financial planning tool.
The financial forecasts presented in the FY2025/26 Budget are based on in-depth analysis and review of Department revenues a nd expense
s to ensure that the forecast is based on the most current information available.
RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City maintains a General Fund Economic Uncertainty Reserve (EUR) for the purpose of bridging a gap between projected revenue and expenditures during periods of significant revenue declines and/or expenditure growth and to ensure the City has adequate resources in case of emergency or unforeseen events. Pursuant to Council’s adopted policy, the City will maintain an EUR at a minimum of 10% of budgeted General Fund revenues and will seek to achieve and maintain a General Fund EUR equal to two months of regular on-going General Fund expenditures, including transfers (i.e., 17% of General Fund expenditures).
On June 12, 2019, the EUR Policy was amended to include Measure U resources in determining the annual set aside amount necessary to maintain a minimum General Fund/Measure U Fund (G/MU) reserve level of 10%. Furth
er, the policy includes a goal of achieving and maintaining the value of two months of regular ongoing G/MU expenditures in the reserve.
The FY2024/25 Approved Budget suspended approximately $3.3 million of the FY2023/24 EUR contribution and due to the funding gap in FY2024/25, the FY2024/25 EUR transfer to the reserve at year-end was one of the reduction strategies. In lieu of contributing to the EUR in FY2025/26, approximately $3.7 million will be placed in a Federal Funding reserve to partially help the City if the federal government withholds or rescinds federal revenues.
The current EUR balance is $75 million, which is over 9% of FY2024/25 G/MU revenues. The EUR is reported
in the ACFR as committed fund balance in the General Fund and the Measure U Fund. iii
On February 11, 2025, Council adopted a new policy regarding the use of one-time savings from the prior FY
with a goal of matching one-time revenues with one-time expenditures and creating funding mechanisms to balance projected budget deficits, restore the EUR so that the fund balance meets the minimum required level per City policy, and pay down unfunded liabilities.
Under this new policy, when the City has prior year savings, the first use will be to balance the following year’s budget if there is a projected deficit or can be used for strategic one-time investments to grow the City’s revenue base. The next use will be to restore the EUR to the minimum required level under City policy if it does not already meet that criterion. Any remaining funds will be split as follows:
One-third will go to a new fund dedicated to paying down the City’s unfunded pension liability; One-third will go to a new fund dedicated to meeting the City’s unfunded capital and deferred maintenance needs; and
One-third will be available for discretionary one-time uses.

1 Independent Auditor’s Report
To t
he Honorable Mayor and Members of the
City Council of the City of Sacramento, California
Re
port on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opi
nions
We hav
e 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 Sacramento, California (City), as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 202 5, 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 accompanying 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 C ity, as of June 30, 202 5, and the respective changes in financial position , and, where applicable, cash flow s thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund and Measure U Special Revenue Fund for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Bas
is for Opinions
We co
nducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). 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.
Em
phasis of Matter
Eff
ective July 1, 2024, the City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. The implementation of GASB Statement No. 101 resulted in the restatement of the beginning net position of $9.6 million as detailed in Note 18 to the basic financial statements. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Resp
onsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The
City’s 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. 2 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 GAAS 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 collus ion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS 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, the schedule of changes in net pension liability and related ratios – CalPERS Miscellaneous Plan, the schedule of contributions – CalPERS Miscellaneous Plan, the schedule of changes in net pension liability and related ratios – CalPERS Safety Plan, the schedule of contributions – CalPERS Safety Plan, the schedule of changes in net pension liability (asset) and related ratios – Sacramento City Employees’ Retirement System, the schedule of contributions – Sacramento City Employees’ Retirement System, the schedule of changes in net OPEB liability and related ratios, and the schedule of contributions – OPEB, as listed in the table of contents, be 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 Sacramento, CA 95814
3 historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, 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 combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules 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 t o prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
The C ity’s m anagement is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other inf ormation and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we have also issued our report dated December 19, 2025, 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 C ity’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 the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(Required Supplementary Information - Unaudited)
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
This section of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report presents a narrativ e overview and analysis of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. City management recommends this information be read in conjunction with the transmittal letter located in the introductory section, and with the City’s financial statements which follow this discussion.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The City’s total government-wide net position increased by $203 million in fiscal year 2025, a 7.2 perce nt incr
ease.
The City’s General Fund revenues were $24 million higher than final budgeted amounts primarily due to Voluntary Rate Ran
ge Program and Ground Emergency Medical Transportation Program revenues received by the City’s Fire Department and a gain in fair value of investments. The City’s General Fund budgetary expenditures, which include open encumbrances, were $114 million lower than final bud
geted amounts. Most of the General Fund departments reported favorable operating expenditure budget variances and capital outlay expenditures were less than budgeted amounts by $47 million due to the multi-year nature of capital projects. Unspent multi-year project budgets are carried over to the subsequent fiscal year.
On a GAAP basis, the City’s General Fund revenue and other financing sources (uses) exceeded expenditures by $9 million in fiscal ye
ar 2025 primarily due to increases in tax revenue and charges for se rvices, offset by increa
ses in labor and pension costs.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINA NCIAL STATEMENTS
The City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report co n sists of four main components: (1) management’s discussion and analysis, (2) the basic financial statement s, (3) required supplementary information, and (4) combining nonmajor fund financial statements. The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the City, the government-wide and the fund financial statements. The government-wide financial statements provide both long-term and short-term information about the City’s ove
rall financial status.
The fund financial statements focus on individual parts of the City government, reporting the City’s operations in more d
etail than the government-wide statements.
The basic financial statements also include notes that provide additional information essential to understanding the data contained in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The statements and notes are followed by the Schedules of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios and Schedules of Contributions for the City’s pension plans along with the Schedule of Changes in Net Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) Liability and Related Ratios and Schedule of Contributions for the City’s OPEB pl an, which are requi red supplementary information. In addition to these required elements, we have included combining statements and schedules that provide details about the City’s other governmental funds, other enterprise funds, the Water enterprise fund, the Wastewater enterprise fund, the Community Center enterprise fund, internal service funds, and custodial funds, each of which is presented in a column in the basic financial statements. 5 City of Sacramento
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
(Required Supplementary Information - Unaudited)
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide statements report information about the City using accounting methods like those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net position includes all the City’s assets and liabilities, as well as any deferred outflows or inflows of resources. The statement of activities in cludes all current year revenues and expenses regardless of when cash is received or paid. These government-wide stat ements report the City’s net position and how the City’s net position has changed during the fiscal year. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial health of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The government-wide financial statements of the City are divided as follows:
Governmental activities - Most of the City’s basic services are included here, such as police; fire; public works; community development; youth, parks, and community enrichment; and general government. Taxes and state and federal grants finance most of these activities.
Business-type activities - Certain services provided by the City are funded by customer fees. Among these are the City’s utility services, community center, and off-street parking facilities.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a group of related accounts that is used to main tain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Fund financial st atements provide more detailed information about the City’s largest funds, not the City as a whole.
The City has three types of fund financial statements:
Governmental funds - Governmental fund statements tell how general government services such as police, fire, and public works, among others, were financed in t he short-term as well as what remains for future spending. Most of the City’s basic services are included in governmental funds, which focus on (1) short-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, and (2) the remaining year-end balances available for spending.
Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of the government-wide statements, reconciliations that explain the relationship (or di fferences) between governmental funds and governmental activities follow the governmental fund statements.
Proprietary funds - Services for which customer fees are inte nded to finance the costs of operations are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary fund statements, like the gov ernment-wide statements, provide short-term and long-term financial information about the activities the City operates like businesses, such as utility services, parking facilities, community center, etc.
Fiduciary funds - Fiduciary fund statements provide information about the financial relationships in which the City acts solely as a trustee or custodian for the benef it of others, to whom the resources belong. The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for a closed pension plan. It is also responsible for other assets held for bonded assessment and community facilities di stricts and investment trust fund s, reported as custodial funds.
Investment trust funds can only be used for the trust benef iciaries in accordance with trust agreements. The City elected to serve as the successor agency for its former redevelopment agency, which was dissolved by state law. The successor agency activity is accounted for in a private-purpose trust fund. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes. All the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate statement of fiduciary net position and a statement of changes in fiduciary net position. The City excludes thes e activities from the government-wide financial statements because the City cannot use these resources to finance its operations.

f net position
As noted in the financial highlights, total net position of the prima ry government increased by $194 million in fiscal year 2025. Total assets increased by $208 million and total liabilities decreased by $32 million. Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources decreased by $75 million and $29 million, respectively.
The following analysis of governmental and business-type ac tivitie s provides more detailed information for these changes.
Governmental activities
Current and other assets increased $116 million primarily due to increases in cash and receivables and the recognition of a net pension asset. Cash increased by $58 million due to higher-than-expected tax, intergovernmental, assessment levy, and grant contribution revenues. Receivables increased $38 million primarily due to increases in economic development loans receivable and financing plans receivables. A net pension asset associated with the Sacramento City Employees’ Retirement System (SCERS) was recognized for the first time in fiscal year 2025 for $13 million.
Capital assets of governmental activities increased $
32 million due to continuing development and improvements offset by current year depreciation. Capital asset additi ons include the Railyards Rehabilitation project, Florin Rd Pavement Rehab, Auburn Blvd Bridge Replacement, Fran klin Blvd Complete Street, and the Dixieanne Clean Green Alleys project. More detailed information about the City’s capital assets is presented in Note 4 to the financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
(Required Supplementary Information - Unaudited)
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
Deferred outflows of resources decreased $63 million primarily due to a $56 million decrease in deferred outflows related to pensions. The decrease in deferred outflows related to pensions was mainly driven by a decrease in net differences between projected and actual earnings. More detailed information about pension plans is presented in Note 8 to the financial statements.
Long-term liabilities decreased $18 million primarily due to $17 million of payments of existing debt obligations.
More detailed information about long-term liabilities is presented in Note 7 to the financial statements.
Other liabilities increased $21 million primarily due to operating grants and special districts accounts payable and financing plans unearned revenue.
Deferred inflows of resources decreased $25 million primarily due to a $24 million decrease in deferred inflows related to OPEB. This decre ase was mainly driven by a decrease in deferred inflows for differences between expected and actual experience and changes in assumptions. More detailed information about the OPEB plan is presented in Note 9 to the financial statements.
Restricted net position, representing amounts that must be used in accordance with external restrictions, increased $59 million primarily due to increases in restrictions fo r capital projects, public works programs, and operating grants.
Business-type activities
Current and other assets of business-type activities increased $76 million primarily due to an increase in cash and receivables provided by operational activities. A net pen sion asset associated with SCERS was also recognized for the first time in fiscal year 2025 for $9 million.
Capital assets decreased $16 million due to depreciation exceeding net additions. Major additions include the Med Center Reservoir Rehab and the Freeport Reservoir Pump Replacement projects. More detailed capital asset information is presented in Note 4 to the financial statements.
Deferred outflows of resources decreased $12 million due to a $11 million decrease in deferred outflows related to pensions. This decrease was mainly driven by a decre ase in net differences between projected and actual earnings. More detailed information about pension plans is presented in Note 8 to the financial statements.
Long-term liabilities decreased $35 million primarily due to $33 million of principal payments on existing debt obligations. More detailed information is presented in Note 7 to the financial statements.

Total revenues for governmental activities increased $97 million, an 8.6 percent increase compared to the prior fiscal year. Total expenses increased $44 million, a 3.9 pe rcent increase compared to the prior fiscal year.
Transfers in primarily consist of in-lieu taxes paid by t he business-type activities to the General Fund. Transfers out primarily consist of parking program support transferred out from the General Fund and Sacramento Tourism Infrastructure District (STID) assessment revenues transferred out from the Special Districts Special Revenue Fund.
Revenue
Charges for services revenue increased $36 million primarily due to increases in fees identified during the budget developm
ent process, including building plan check fees; plan review fees; permitting and inspection fees; and street, sidewalk, and curb repair administrative fees. There was an increase in metered parking revenues related to increased rates and enforcement as well as the elimination of free parking on Sundays and holidays. There was also an increase in development fees with the constr uction commencement of the Kaiser Permanente Railyards Medical Center.
Operating grants and contributions re venue increased $8 million primarily d ue to $12 million of funding the City received from the State of Californi a Department of Housing and Community Development for the Encampment Resolution Funding Program to address the experienc e of unsheltered homelessness for people residing in encampments. No such funding was received in fiscal year 2024.
Capital grants and contributions increased by $25 million during fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024.
This was mainly from contributions received from the issuance of $31 million in bonds for constructing facilities and infrastructure within Community Facilities District Greenbriar Improvement Area 2.
Property tax revenue increased $11 million due to cont inued increases in Sacramento area commercial and residential real estate property assessed valuations.
The increase of $7 million in investment earnings is mainly attributable to net appreciation in fair value of Pool A investment holdings. The cost of Pool A investment holdings exceeded the fair value by $10 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $47 million as of June 30, 2024. This $37 million gain was allocated among governmental and business-type activities, with a small portion allocated to non-City Pool A participants as well. In fiscal year 2024, Pool A investment holdings recognized an overall gain of $30 million.
Expenses
Total governmental activities expenses increased $44 million primarily due to increases in department functional exp
enses. General government, Police, and Fire expenses increased a combined $57 million mainly due to increased labor costs. Community development ex penses increased $24 million due to reimbursements to developers for constructing fac ilities and infrastructure in community facilities dist ricts. This was offset by a $28 million decrease in public works expense, as the City incurred higher than normal costs in fiscal year 2024 with the replacement of traffic signs and signals and unforeseen costs related to severe 2024 winter storms. 10 City of Sacramento

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE FUND STATEMENTS
Funds are accounting devices the City uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for particular purposes. The fund financial statements focus on individual parts of City government, reporting City operations in more detail than the government-wide statements.
Governmental Funds
The City’s governmental funds provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Total revenues for governmental funds increased $100 million compared to the prior fiscal year. Total expenditures increased $53 million compared to the prior fiscal year. Net other financing sources decreased $21 million compared to the prior fiscal year. These changes are discussed in more detail below.
General Fund
Total General Fund revenue increased $37 million compar ed to the prior fiscal year. Tax revenue increased $16 million primarily due to an increase in the value of the property tax base and an increase in utility users tax. Charges for services increased $10 million primarily due to increased building plan check fees, street sidewalk and curb repair administrative fees, and parking meter receipts with the increase in base hourly parking rate and elimination of free parking on Sundays and holidays. Intergovernmental revenues increased $5 million primarily due to an increase in Voluntary Rate Range Program and Public Provider Ground Emergency Medical Transportation Program revenues received by the City’s Fire Department.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
(Required Supplementary Information - Unaudited)
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
Total General Fund expenditures increased $28 million comp ared to the prior fiscal year. General Government expenditures increased by $7 million and expenditures in Police and Fire departments increased a combined $37 million mainly due to an increase in labor and pension costs. Capital outlay expenditures decreased $22 million.
Capital outlay fluctuates from year to year due to timing and the multi-year nature of capital projects. The General Fund’s largest capital outlay expenditures during the fiscal year consisted of expenditures for fire apparatuses, ambulances, and gurneys; police safety equipment; Fl orin Road pavement rehabilitation; VoIP phone and voicemail system; and the issuance of long-term liabilities for new lease and IT subscription agreements.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The City Council revised the budget throughout the fisc al year with revenue and appropriation adjustments and the use of committed fund balance after the original budget was adopted.
After accounting for these budget adjustments, General Fund revenues were $24 million higher than final budgeted amounts. Intergovernmental revenue exceeded budget by $25 million primarily due to Voluntary Rate Range Program and Public Provider Ground Emergency Medical Transportation Program revenues received by the City’s Fire Department. Interest, rents, and concessions revenue exceeded budget by $14 million primarily due to a gain in fair value related to the General Fund’s share of Pool A holdings. Fines, forfeits, and penalties exceeded the budget by $6 million due to community development and public works compliance and enforcement revenues.
Charges for services were less than budgeted by $24 million primarily due to emergency medical service revenues.
General Fund budgetary expenditures were $114 million lower than final budgeted amounts. Most of the General Fund departments reported favorable operating expenditure budget variances primarily due to labor savings and labor reimbursements from grants and other funds. Capital outlay expenditures were less than budgeted amounts by $47 million due to the multi-year nature of capital projects. Unspent multi-year project budgets, as well as other unspent City Council approved program budgets, are carried over to the subsequent fiscal year.
Measure U Fund
Measure U Fund revenues were consistent with the prior fiscal year.
General government expenditures increased by $5 million mainly due to an increase in labor and pension costs.
Community response expenditures increased by $3 million due to an increase in budgeted spending for citywide cleanup efforts and homeless outreach programs. Capita l outlay expenditures increased $2 million due to timing and the multi-year nature of capital projects. Youth, parks, and community enrichment expenditures decreased $9 million due to decreased spending for the Sacramento Youth Works program, youth pop up events, and the youth development plan. With the passing of Measure L, the Sacramento’s Child ren Fund was established within the General Fund where these youth focused expenditures will be shifted to.
2015 Golden 1 Center Lease Revenue Bond Fund
2015 Golden 1 Center Lease Revenue Bond Fund revenues and expenditures were consistent with the prior fiscal year.
Other Governmental Funds
Other governmental fund revenues increased by $63 million primarily due to revenue increases of $24 million for special revenue funds and $38 million for capital projects funds. The increase in special revenue funds revenue is primarily due to the following:
$13 million increase in charges for services due to plan check fees for new development projects, including the Kaiser Permanente Railyards Medical Center in 2025. Additionally, citywide fees and charges increases were adopted by City Council to align fees for inflation beginning in fiscal year 2025. $8 million increase in intergovernmental revenues from the Emergency Rental Assi stance and California Natural Resource Agency grant programs.
12 City of Sacramento
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
(Required Supplementary Information - Unaudited)
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
The increase in capital projects funds revenue is primarily due to the following:
An increase in the Special Distri cts Fund due to contributions received from the issuance of Delta Shores CFD 2019-01 IA1, Series 2024 bonds and Greenbriar CFD 2018-03 IA2, Series 2024 bonds for $12 million and $31 million, respectively. Contributions will be used for the development of the two project areas. $9 million increase in the Financing Plans Fund mainly due to the new Panhandle Development Area fees and a significant increase in commercial and residential permits in the Citywide Low Income Housing Fund. $15 million decrease in the Capital Grants Fund due to the completion of the Del Rio Trail and Broadway Complete Streets projects in fiscal year 2024.
Other governmental fund expenditures increased by $22 million primarily due to an increase of $28 million in expenditures for capital projects funds. The increase in capital projects funds expenditures is primarily due a $31 million increase in the Special Districts Fund due to expenditures associated with the Greenbriar, Delta Shores and Railyards community facilities districts.
$3 million of financing plan fee credits were issued in fiscal year 2025, in comparison to $6 million in fiscal year 2024. $3 million of North Natomas financing plan fee credits were issued in the current year. More detailed fee credit information is presented in Note 7 to the financial statements.

The City’s issuer credit rating as of June 30, 2025 is AA with a stable outlook from S&P, Aa2 with a stable outlook from Moody’s, and AA+ with a stable outlook from Fitch. The issuer credit rating is an assessment of the City’s creditworthiness and capacity to meet financial commitment s as they come due without regard to the terms of a specific debt instrument. The ratings and stable outlook determination are based on a multitude of factors for each of the rating agencies. Highlights include: the City’s large, expanding tax base and diverse regional economy; the City’s continued population growth and above-average education retainment levels; a healthy financial reserve and strong liquidity position, supported by robust re tail and economic activity; and the City’s prudent and comprehensive financial management policies and practices, including proactive steps to address out-year budget gaps and maintain its reserve levels.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
Economic Factors
The City’s budget forecast assumes continued economic growth. However, recent events have increased economic uncertainty. On April 2, 2025, the federal go vernment announced a reciprocal tariff strategy that has evolved unpredictably over time. Potential supply cost in creases would have major impacts on the City’s budget as it becomes more expensive to maintain current service levels. Additionally, the dollar has fallen while yields on U.S. Treasuries have remained elevated, possibly reflecting the market’s expectation of slower economic growth.
This is a concerning situation, and the City must continue to monitor this volatile economic climate.
Next Year’s Budget
General Fund budget appropriations for fiscal year 2026 are $712 million, an increase of 3.3 percent compared to the fiscal year 2025 approved budget. The City is facing a st ructural deficit because of many decisions that the City and voters have made over the past few years. To better serve its residents, especially during the pandemic, the City expanded beyond its traditional core service areas and launched new programs, often with one-time federal funding. New labor contracts and higher prices for supplies, services and insurance have increased operating costs.
The fiscal year 2026 approved budget addresses the City’s structural deficit for one year with a combination of one-time and ongoing strategies and does not include the e limination of any filled positions. Due to the budget deficit, the contribution to the Economic Uncertainty Reserve was suspended for fiscal years 2025 and 2026.

Changes in fund balances - total governmental funds 48,977$ Amounts reported for governmental acti vities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. In the statement of activities, however, the cost of t hose assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation/amortization expense.
Capital outlay 95,371
Depreciation/amortization expense (78,825)
16,546
Revenues in the statement of activities t hat do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the governmental funds:
Infrastructure dedications 10,362
Long-term debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net position. Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.
Issuance of long-term debt (7,789)
Principal repayments on long-term debt 27,189
19,400
Revenue and other resources not available to liquidate
liabilities of the current period are not recognized in governmental funds.
Revenue in the statement of activities is not limited by availability, so certain revenues need to be reduced by the amounts that were unavailable at the beginning of the year and increased by the amounts that were unavailable at the end of the year. This adjustment records a net increase in revenues - unavailable revenues at the end of the year were greater than beginning unavailable revenues by this amount. 13,181
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

Capital assets transferred from gover nmental activities to business-type activities are reported as transfers in the statement of activities. The transfers are not reported in the governmental funds as the amount did not involve the transfer of financial resources. (328)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as insuranc e and fleet, to individual funds. The net expense of the internal service funds is reported with the governmental activities. 17,118

MMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Governmental Accounting Standards Implemented During the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 GASB Statement No. 101 – In June 2022, GASB issued Statement No. 101, Comp ensated Absences. The objective of this statement is to better meet the info rmation needs of financial st atement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated ab sences. That objective is achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures. The provisions in Statement 101 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The new standard requires a liability to be recognized for both: 1) Leave that has not been used which applies to leave attributable to services already rendered, that accumulates, and is more likely than not the be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or non-cash means; and 2) Leave that has been used, but not yet paid or settled. The applicable provisions were implemented July 1, 2024 and as a result, the City has restated beginning net position.
As part of the adoption of GASB Statement No. 101, the City’s note disclosure presentation reports the net change in liability, as opposed to the net gross increases and decreases. See Note 18.
GASB Statement No. 102 – In December 2023, GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures. The objective of this statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about risks related to a government’s vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints. A concentration is a lack of diversity related to a significant inflow or outflow or resources. A constraint is an externally or internally imposed limitation on a government’s ability to acquire resources or control spending. The applicable provisions were implemented July 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact to the financial statements.
Upcoming Governmental Accounting Standards Implementation The City is currently analyzing its accounting and financial reporting practices to determine the potential impact on the financi
al statements of the following GASB Statements:
GASB Statement No. 103 – In April 2024, GASB issued Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements. The objective of this statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information t hat is essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability. The provisions in Statement 103 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025. The City has not determined the effect of implementing this statement.
GASB Statement No. 104 – In September 2024, GASB issued Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets. The objective of this statement is to provide us ers of government financial statements with essential information about certain types of capital assets. The pr ovisions in Statement 104 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025. The City has not determined the effect of implementing this statement.
Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the stateme nt of activities) report information on all the non-fiduciary activities of the pr imary government and its component units. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely significantly on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the City is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to whic h the d irect expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Certain indirect costs are allocated to expens es and capital assets of governmental and business-type activities. At the government-wide level, citywide and community support expenses/expenditures within the General Fund are allocated to City departments. Utilities expenditures within the General Fund are allocated to public works. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applican ts 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. 48 City of Sacramento

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been removed from the government-wide financial statements.
Internal service fund activity has been eliminated from the statement of activities. The effect of interfund services provided and used between functions, such as the sale of water from the Water Fund to the General Fund, has not been eliminated in the statement of activities. The City’s payments in lieu of taxes from its enterprise funds to the General Fund are reported as interfund transfers.
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 and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liab ility 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 have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accountin g. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fisc al 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, sales taxes, utility user taxes, interg overnmental revenue, special assessments, charges for services, and investment income associated with the curr ent fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of t he current fiscal period. A ll other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund and accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Measure U Fund was established to account for t he temporary half-cent sales tax approved by voters on November 6, 2012. On November 6, 2018, Sacramento voters approved a new version of the City’s Measure U sales and use tax eliminating the sunset provision and raising it from half-cent to one cent. The one cent sales and use tax was effective April 1, 2019.
The 2015 Golden 1 Center Lease Revenue Bond Fund accounts for debt service activities related to financing a portion of construction costs of a multi-purpose entertainment and sports complex located in the downtown area of Sacramento.

Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
The Water Fund accounts for the operation and maint ena nce of the City’s water treatment and water transmission and distribution systems.
The Wastewater Fund accounts for the operation and maintena nce of the City’s wastewater system.
The Storm Drainage Fund accounts for the operation and maintenance of the City’s surface drainage system.
The Solid Waste Fund accounts for the collection and disposal of refuse throughout the City and for landfill clo
sure.
The Community Center Fund accounts for the operation and ma intenance of the City’s Community Center, including the theater and exhibit halls.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds account for the financing of fl e et and risk management services to other departments on a cost reimbursement basis.
The Pension Trust Fund accounts for the assets held on behalf of the Sacramento City Employees’ Retirement System (SCERS) for pension benefit payments to qualified employees.
The Private-Purpose Trust Fund accounts for the assets receive d by the Successor Agency from the City’s former redevelopment agency in order to liquidate its enforceable obligations, pursuant to Assembly Bill X1 26 which dissolved redevelopment agencies in California.
Custodial Funds account for assets held by the City as a custodian for individuals, private organizations, and other governments. The City's Custodial Funds in clude assets held for bonded assessment and community facilities districts and for external participants. External participants invested in the City-sponsored investment pool are reported in the Investment Pool Custodial Fund, while individual investment accounts not invested in the pool are reported in Other Custodial Funds.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charge s to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, including fees, fines, and forfeitures, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Program revenues also include earnings on investments that are legally restricted for a specific program. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenue. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating 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 City’s enterprise funds and internal service funds are charges to customers for sa les and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

MMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) When both restricted and unrestricted net position are available for use, it is the City’s practice to use restricted resources first followed by unrestricted resources as they are needed. When all fund balance types are available, it is the City’s practice to use restricted resources first, followed by committed, assigned, and unassigned resources as they are needed.
Permanent funds, commonly referred to as endowment f unds, are governmental funds used to report resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support City programs. The City has received endowments for va rious programs, a list of which can be found in the Permanent Funds section of the Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules. The investments of donor-restricted endowments have $7,236 of net appreciation that is available for authorization for expenditures by the governing board. The corpus of permanent funds is reported as Nonspendable Fund Balance and investment earnings available for expenditure are reported as Restricted Fund Balance in the fund level financial statements, and as Restricted for Nonexpendable Trust and Endowments in the statement of net position.
Funds are spent in accordance with legal trust agreements and the City budget, subject to State law governing the spending of endowment fund investment earnings in California Probate Code Section 18504.
Budget Information
The City Manager submits a proposed budget to the City Council no later than 60 days prior to the commencement of the fiscal
year. The City Council holds public hearings, modifies the City Manager’s recommendations, and adopts a final budget in June. The budget adoption resolution specifies that budgets will be controlled at the department level (e.g., police, fire, public works, parks and recreation etc.) by fund.
Annual budgets are adopted for the General Fund, Measure U Fund, and for certain activities within the City/County Office of Metropolitan Water Planning (CCOMWP) Fund, Transportation and Development Fund, the Culture and Leisure Fund, the Parks and Recreation Fund, and the Sp ecial Districts Fund. Annual budgets are also adopted for the enterprise and internal service funds, although they are not legally required. Multi-year project-length budgets are adopted for the General Fund, capital proj ects funds, and the O perating Grants Fund where appropriations remain authorized for each project until closed, irrespective of fiscal year. Expenditures are appropriated on a modified accrual basis, except that co mmitments related to purchase orders are treated as expenditures in the year of commitment.
Budgets are modified throughout the year when the tax bas e changes, fees are modified, new revenue sources are identified, or programs are changed. The City Manag er is authorized to administratively amend department budgets during the year for transactions up to $250 wit hout City Council approval. All other appropriation adjustments during the year require City Council approval. Unencumbered annual budget appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The City honors contracts represented by year-end encumbrances and the appropriations carried over provide authority to complete these transactions in future years. Multi-year project-length budget appropriations are automatically carried over into the next fiscal year.
Financial Statements Elements
Fair Value Measurement – The City categorizes the fair value m easurements of its inve stments based on the hierarchy established by GAAP. The fair value hierarchy, which has three levels, is based on the valuation inputs used to measure an asset or liability’s fair value: Leve l 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial Statements Elements (Continued)
Property Taxes - Article XIII of the California Constitution (Proposition 13) limits ad valorem taxes on real property to one percent of value plus taxes necessary to pay indebt edness approved by voters prior to July 1, 1978. The Article also established the 1975/76 as sessed valuation as the base and limit s annual increases to the cost-of- living, not to exceed two percent, for each year thereafte r. Property may also be reassessed to full market value after a sale, transfer of ownership, or completion of new construction. The State is prohibited under the Article from imposing new ad valorem, sales, or transactions taxes on real property. Local governments may impose special taxes (except on real property) with the approval of two-thirds of the qualified electors.
Property taxes are levied annually by the Sacramento County Assessor on July 1 and become a lien on property on the preceding January 1. Taxes are due November 1 and February 1 and are delinquent if not paid by December 10 and April 10, respectively.
The City participates in an alternative method of distribution of property tax levies and assessments known as the “Teeter Plan”. The State Revenue and Taxation Code allows counties to distribute secured real property, assessment and supplemental property taxes on an accrual ba sis resulting in full payment to cities each fiscal year. Any subsequent delinquent payments and related penalties and interest during a fiscal year will revert to the County. The Teeter Plan payment, which includes 95% of the outstanding accumulated delinquency, is included in property tax revenue. Under the Teeter Plan code, 5% of the delinquency must remain with the County as a reserve for Teeter Plan funding.
Receivables and Payables – Property taxes, sales taxes, utility user taxes, and other taxes, related to the current fiscal year are accrued as revenue and accounts receivable and considered available if received within 60 days of year end.
Federal and State grants are considered receivable and accrued as revenue when all eligibility requirements have been met under the accrual basis of accounting in the government-wide statement of net position. The amount recognized as revenue under the modified accrual basis of accounting is limited to the amount that is deemed measurable and available as described above.
Long-term loans receivable reported in the governmental fund statements are recorded with offsetting unavailable revenue because the amounts will not be received within 60 days after fiscal year-end. Long-term loans receivable reported in the proprietary fund statements, as well as long-term loans reported in the government-wide statements, are not offset by unava ilable revenue. Unbilled utility revenue earned is recognized as revenue and accounts receivable in the enterprise funds.
Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year is 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.”
Inventories and Prepaid Items
- Inventories in the proprietary funds are stated at cost and consist of expendable materials and supplies. Inventories are expensed when consumed using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items, using the consumption method, in both government-wide and fund financial statements.

Financial Statements Elements (Continued)
Restricted Assets - Certain proceeds of debt issues, as well as ce rtain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the statements of net position and balance sheets because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. Unspent developer impact fees are classified as restricted assets on the statements of net position for the Water and Wastewater enterprise funds.
Capital Assets - Capital assets are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the government-wide financial statements, as well as the proprietary funds and fiduciary funds financial statements.
Capital assets are recorded at the lower of actual hist orical cost or acquisition value (as of the date donated for contributed assets) although for certain older assets estimated historical costs are used.
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Building and improvements Primarily 15 to 70 years
Transmission and distribution system Primarily 15 to 100 years Machinery, vehicles and equipment Primarily 5 to 30 years Software Primarily 5 to 20 years

Streetlight network Primarily 40 to 50 years
Park and park improvements Primarily 15 to 30 years
It is the policy of the City to capitalize all land, buildings and improvements, equipment, and infrastructure assets, except assets costing less than $20, unless a federal funding source is utilized. All capital assets in excess of $5 financed by a federal funding source are capitalized. If equipment using federal funding was purchased after October 1, 2024, threshold has been increased to $10. The City also capitalizes all intangible capital assets, primarily easements and software, except assets costing less than $100, unless a federal funding source is utilized.
Costs of capital assets sold or retired (and related amounts of accumulated depreciation/amortization) are eliminated from the accounts in the year of sale or reti rement and the resulting gain or loss is included in the operating statement of the related proprietary fund, governmental activities, and business-type activities. In governmental funds, the sale of general capital assets is included in the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances as proceeds from sale.
The Crocker Art Museum’s collection of works of art, hel d in trust by the City, has not been reported in these financial statements. The City has elected not to report the collection because it meets the three criteria for waiving capitalization: the collection is held for reasons other than financial gain; the collection is protected, kept unencumbered, cared for, and preserved; and the collection is subject to an organizational policy requiring that the proceeds from sales of collection items be used to acquire other items for the collection.
The intangible right-to-use lease and IT subscription assets are also reported as capital assets. Refer to the Lease and IT subscription section of Note 1 for further information.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources - In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an expense/expenditure until then. The City has three items, deferred outflows related to loss on refunding of debt, pensions, and OPEB, which qualify for reporting in this category.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred inflows of resources.
This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as revenue until then. The City has five items recognized in the statement of net position:
deferred inflows related to gain on refunding of debt, service concession arrangement revenue, pensions, OPEB, and leases. In addition, there is one item recognized in the governmental funds, unavailable revenue, which qualifies for reporting in this category.

Compensated Absences - Benefit qualified employees accrue vaca tion, sick, and holiday benefits. A full-time employee may accumulate up to sixty days of vacation. Sick leave vests and may be accumulated until retirement.
An employee with sixty or more days of accumulated sick leave at the end of a calendar year may elect to receive a 25% payment of any unused sick leave earned in the pr evious calendar year. The amount of sick leave paid is deducted from the employee’s total accumulation. Upon retirement, employees with a minimum of 20 years of City service, excluding SCERS employees, have the option of converting their sick leave accumulation into CalPERS service credit hours, or receiving a cash payment of one- third of the accumulated sick leave. The City accrues expected cash payments of accumulated sick leave at fiscal year-end. Employees who leave the City and are not retiring forfeit any remaining sick leave.
Employees receive 14 holidays per calendar year. Employees accrue all or a portion of these 14 days during the year depending on their job classification. Classifications that accrue all 14 days get pai d in cash throughout the year whenever their holiday leave balances exceed the 14 days total. All other employees accrue one or two days of “floating” holiday time, depending on the bargaining unit, throughout the year in conjunction with their remaining twelve holidays. Employees who accrue “floating” holiday time get paid annually in January for any calendar year- end balance greater than eight hours.
All hourly employees have the option of being compensated for their overtime pay with compensatory time off (CTO). Depending on the employee’s CTO plan, the employee may accrue a maximum of 80, 120 or 160 hours of CTO. The employee’s applicable labor agreement or the City Council’s resolution for unrepresented employees determines the maximum accruable number of CTO hours.
All compensated absences are accr ued when earned in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
Unearned Revenue - Unearned revenue in accrual-based statements arises when resources are received by the City before it has a legal claim to them (e.g., when grant monies are received prior to incurring qualified expenditures).
Long-term Obligations - In the government-wide and proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements, long- term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable st atement of net position.
Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Gains and losses on debt refunding are deferred and amortized over the shorter of the remaining life of the old debt or the life of the new debt using the straight-line method. B onds payable are reported net of bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs, except prepaid bond insurance which is deferred and amortized, are reported as expenditures/expenses when incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund ty pes recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are report ed as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. 54 City of Sacramento

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial Statements Elements (Continued)
Fund Balance - In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. Nonspendable fund balances include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Amounts that are restricted to specific purposes, either by a) constraints placed on the use of resources by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulati ons of other governments or b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation, are classified as restricted fund balances. Amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints impos ed by the City Council through a resolution, which is the highest form of decision authority, are classified as committed fund balances. Amounts that are constrained by the City Council’s intent to be used for specific purpos es through a resolution, but are neither restricted nor committed, are classified as assigned fund balances. Negati ve fund balance in governmental funds and residual fund balance in the General Fund, after determining the fund balance classifications described above, is reported as unassigned fund balance. The General Fund is the only fund that can report a positive unassigned fund balance amount.
The City’s Economic Uncertainty Reserve (Reserve) is a stabilization arrangement in the General Fund and Measure U Fund reported as committed fund balance. The adopted Reserve goal is to achieve a reserve equal to 10% of annual General Fund and Measure U revenues and a target reserve equal to two months of regular ongoing General Fund and Measure U expenditures, including transfers. The City Manager may recommend a release from the Reserve when the gap between projected revenue and expenditures is greater than $1,000 in the proposed budget. Additions and releases from the Reserve must be approved by City Council by resolution.
Statement of Cash Flows - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents are defined as investments with original maturities of 90 days or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
The City considers all pooled cash and investments (consisting of cash and investments and restricted cash and investments) held by the City as cash and cash equiva lents because the pool is used essentially as a demand deposit account from the standpoint of the funds. The City also considers all non-pooled cash and investments (consisting of cash with fiscal agent and restricted cash and investments held by fiscal agent) as cash and cash equivalents because investments meet the criteria for cash equivalents defined above.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Pensions - For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and Sacramento City Employees’ Retirement System (SCERS) Plans and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS and SCERS, respectively. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) - For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s CalPERS Plan and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Leases, City as a Lessee, and IT Software Subscriptions - The City is a lessee in various noncancellable leases of land, buildings, and equipment. The City also has noncancellable subscription arrangements for the right-to-use information technology software (IT subscriptions). For leases and IT subscriptions with a maximum possible term of 12 months or less at commencement, the City recogni zes expenses/expenditures based on the provisions of the agreements. For all other leases and IT subscriptions, the City recognizes a lease or IT subscription liability and an intangible right-to-use lease or IT subscription asset in the statement of net position.
At lease or IT subscription commencement, the City measures the lease or IT subscrip tion liability at the present value of fixed payments expected to be made during the lease or subscription term. Subsequently, lease and IT subscription liabilities are reduced by the principal porti on of payments made. The lease or IT subscription asset is initially measured at the initial amount of the lease or IT subscription liability, plus any initial direct costs ancillary to placing the underlying asset into service and paym ents made at or before the lease or IT subscription commencement date, less any incentives received. Subsequently, lease and IT subscription assets are amortized into depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease or subscription term or the useful life of the underlying asset. If the Ci ty is reasonably certain of exercising a purchase option contained in a lease or IT subscription agreement, the lease or IT subscription asset will be amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset. It is the policy of the City to capitalize all intangible right-to-use lease land, buildings, and equipment, except those with less than $20 of fixed payments expected to be made during the lease term, unless a federal funding source is utilized. The City also capitalizes all intangible right-to-use IT subscription assets, except those with less than $100 of fixed payments expected to be made during the IT subscription term, unless a federal funding source is utilized. All lease and IT subscription assets in excess of $5 financed by a federal funding source are capitalized. These same thresholds ar e used in the recognition of lease and IT subscription liabilities.
Leases, City as a Lessor - The City is a lessor in various noncancellable leases of land, buildings, and equipment.
For leases with a maximum possible term of 12 months or less at commencement, the City recognizes revenues based on the provisions of the lease agreement. For all other leases, the City recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources related to leases in the statement of net position and governmental fund balance sheet.
At lease commencement, the City measures the lease receivable at the present value of fixed payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, lease receivables are reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources related to leases is initially measured at the initial amount of the lease receivable. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources related to leases is amortized into lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. It is the policy of the City to recognize lease receivables and deferred inflow of resources related to leases for all leased out land, buildings, and equipment, except leases with less than $20 of fixed payments expected to be received during the lease term.

Other Lease and IT Software Subscription Considerations - Key estimates and judgments include the City’s determination of the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease or IT subscription, lease or IT subscription terms, lease or IT subscription payments, and lease receipts. The City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases and IT subscriptions unless the rate charged is explicitly stated or known. The City’s incremental borrowing rate for leases and IT subscriptions is based on the estimate of interest rates that the City would be charged for borrowing lease and IT subscription amounts during the term of the agreement. The City uses an incremental borrowing rate of between 0.316% and 3.16%. The agreement term includes noncancellable periods of lease and IT subscr iption arrangements, plus any additional periods covered by an option to extend for which it is reasonably certain to be exercised or an option to terminate for which it is reasonably certain to not be exercised. Periods in which both parties to the agreement have a unilateral option to terminate (or if both parties must agree to extend) are excluded from the lease and IT subscription term. Receipts and payments are evaluated by the City to determine if they should be included in the measurement of lease receivables and lease or IT subscription liabilities, including receipts and payments that require a determination of whether they are reasonably certain of being made, such as residual value guarantees, purchase options, termination penalties, and other receipts and payments.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that ma y require remeasurement of lease and IT subscription agreements. When certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the value of the lease or IT subscription, the amounts are remeasured and adjusted.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity its fair value is to changes in market interest rates. The City’s investment policy limits interest rate risk by requiring compliance with the California Government Code for investments of public funds, as described in detail above. One of the ways that the City and SCERS manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturing evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s and SCERS’ investments (including investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following tables that show the distribution of the investments by maturity. The remaining maturity of the City’s and SCERS’ investments included in the tables below are based on the stated maturity dates of the individual investments, except in the case of variable rate investments where the maturity date is the next reset date. Variable rate securities are investments with terms that provide for the adjustment of interest rates on specified dates based on predefined mathematical formulas. The fair value of such investments can reasonably be expected to be affected at each interest rate reset date.
The City’s cash and investments by maturities as of June 30, 2025 are as follows:

Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an inve stment 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 policy limits credit risk by requiring compliance with the California Government Code for the purchase of investments with public funds, as described in detail above. Obligations of the U.S. Government are not considered to have credit risk and do not require disclosure of credit quality.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. As of June 30, 2025, the City and SCERS did not hold investments in an individual issuer exceeding 5% of total investments (other than U.S. Treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment pools). In addition, SCERS did not hold investments in an individual issuer exceeding 5% of net position.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the ev ent of the failure of a depository financial institution, the City or SCERS will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code has provisions for financial institutions that limit custodial credit risk for deposits. Financial institutions are required to secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law. The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. The City’s financial institutions also have insurance through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The City’s investment policy has no additional provisions for limiting custodial credit risk for deposits. All SCERS cash and cash equivalents are held with the City of Sacramento Investm ent Pool and SCERS is not exposed to custodial credit risk for deposits.
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk tha t, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the City or SCERS will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collater al securities that are in the possession of another part y. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments; however, it is the practice of the City Treasurer that all City investments are insured, registered or held by the Treasurer’s custodial agent in the City’s name. All SCERS investment s registered or held with the custodial agent are in SCERS’ name.

NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
Fair Value Measurement and Application
The City and SCERS categorize fair va lue measurements within the fair va lue hierarchy established by GAAP.
The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the City and SCERS have the ability to access.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; Inputs other than quoted pric es that are observable for the asset or liability; and Inputs that are derived principally from or corrob orated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation me thodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Unobservable inputs reflect the City’s and SCERS’ own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumpti ons about risk). Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the City’s and SCERS’ own data.
The asset’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used, need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The determination of what constitutes observable re quires judgment by management. City and SCERS management consider observable data to be that market data, which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable, and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by multiple independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of the inputs to its fair val ue measurement and does not necessarily correspond to City and SCERS management’s perceived risk of that investment.
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety ar e categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. Assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
The money market mutual funds held by the City pool and outside the City pool are at $1 net asset value per share.
The total net asset value of these at June 30, 2025 was $36,245 and $38,736, respectively, with $0 unfunded commitments. At June 30, 2025 SCERS held money market mutual funds with a net asset value of $395, with $0 unfunded commitments. The redemption frequency is daily a nd redemption notice period of intra-daily. This type of investment primarily invests in short-term U.S. Treasury and government agency securities (including repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury and government agency securities).
Deposits and withdrawals in governmental investment pools, such as LAIF and CalTRUST for the City and the City of Sacramento Investment Pool for SCERS, are made on the basis of $1 and not fair value.

NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
Fair Value Measurement and Application (Continued)
The City’s treasury pools’ asset market prices are derived from closing bid prices as of the end of business day as supplied by ICE Data Services, Inc. Where prices are not available from generally recognized sources, the securities are priced using a yield-based matrix system to arrive at an estimated fair value. Prices that fall between data points are interpolated. Nonnegotiable FDIC-insured bank certificates of deposit are priced at par.
The following is a description of the valuation methods and assumptions used by the City and SCERS to estimate the fair value of its investments:
When available, quoted prices are used to determine fair value. When quoted prices in active markets are available, investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For investments classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the City’s and SCERS’ custodians generally use a multi-dimensional relational mode l. Inputs to their pricing models are based on observable market inputs in active markets. The inputs to the pricing models are typically benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities, among others.
There have been no changes in the methods and assu mptions used at June 30, 2025. The methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicati ve of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. City and SCERS management believe its valuati on methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

City Sponsored Investment Pool
As part of the City’s total cash and investments portfolio, the City Treasurer manages an investment pool, which includes both internal and external investors. The pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The City Treasure r is granted authority for managing the pool by City Charter Section 73 and City Council ordinances and resolution s. Monthly, the City Trea surer reports investment activity to the Council for review.
The fair value of investments is det ermined monthly. Participants’ shares sold and redeemed are determined by the daily cash balance deposited in the pool (the value of its pool shares). The value of the pool shares is based upon amortized cost in day-to-day operations but is adjust ed to the fair value at year-end. The investments are reported at fair value. The value of the shares is supported by the value of the unde rlying investments. External participants, including various joint powers agencies, co mprise 6.84% of pool participation. The City Sponsored Investment Pool excludes activities of the pension trust fund, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA), and funds held by fiscal agents.
The City Treasurer also manages external individual in vestment accounts for SHRA and the Sacramento Public Library Authority Hurst Trust.

The City is a voluntary participant in the California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Local Investment Advisory Board (Board). The Board consists of five members as designated by state stat ute.

As of June 30, 2025, the City’s investment in LAIF is $35,758.
The total amount invested by all public agencies in LAIF at that date is $24,486,667. LAIF is part of the California Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA), which at June 30, 2025 had a balance of $179,153,321. Of that amount,
96.19% is invested in non-derivative financial products, and 3.81% is invested in derivative financial products.

Net Pension Liability
The City’s
net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pensi on liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position.

A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilitie s in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:

NOTE 8 – PENSION PLANS (Continued)
Net Pension Liability (Continued)
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90% for each Plan. The projection of cash flows used to deter mine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at current member contribution rates and contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates. Based on those assumptions, each pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the l ong-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
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 (expec ted 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 table below reflects expected real rates of return by asset class.

SCERS
The City reports SCERS as a pension trust fund. SCERS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary info rmation. The financial report may be obtained at https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/Finance/Accounting/Reporting. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Basis of Accounting – SCERS’ financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
City and member contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the plan.
Method Used to Value Investments – Investments are reported at fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates.
General Information about the Pension Plan
Plan Description – The SCERS is a closed defined benefit pension plan. It has not accepted new members since January 28, 1977. All full-time, non-safety employees hired before January 29, 1977, are eligible to participate in SCERS.
Benefits Provided – SCERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries based on the plan that they belong to. SCERS has the following plans:
Charter Section 399 Plan – This defined benefit plan was established effective January 1, 1977 to provide retirement, disability and death benefits. Active mem bers contribute at a rate based upon entry age and type of employment. The benefits for this plan are based on the average monthly compensation times years of service times benefit factor, but no larger than 75% of final average earnings. Employees may retire at age 70, or age 50 and 5 years of service.
Equal Shares Plan – This defined benefit plan was establis hed July 1, 1970 to provide retirement, disability and death benefits to all City employees electing coverage at that date and to all employees who were hired from that date through January 1, 1977. The benefits for this plan are based on the average monthly compensation times years of service times benefit factor, but no larger than 75% of final average earnings. Employees may retire at age 70, or age 50 and 5 years of service.
Charter Section 175 Plan – This defined benefit plan was established in 1953 to provide for retirement, disability and death benefits at a lower amount than the successor Equal Shares Plan. The benefits for this plan are based on the average monthly compensati on times years of service times benefit factor.
Employees may retire at age 70, or age 55 and 20 years of service.
An employee who leaves City service may withdraw his or her contributions, plus any accumulated interest under all the retirement and disability benefit plans described above.

Cost-of-living Adjustment – This adjustment, established in 1969, provides for annual retirement benefit increases of up to 3% of normal benefits based on a corresponding rise in the consumer price index. Cost-of- living benefits are payable to retirees and beneficiaries of all the above plans after one year of retirement. The cost-of-living adjustment was 3% for fiscal year 2025. Me mbers contribute to this adjustment at a rate of 1% of their normal retirement contributions. The City is required to fund all costs in excess of members’ contributions and investment earnings.
Social Security Adjustment – For members participating in Social Se curity, their benefit will be adjusted at the later of age 62 or actual retirement age. The amount of the adjustment is one half of the primary insurance amount (PIA) from Social Security, multiplied by the ratio of the sum of salary earned from the City to the sum of salary from all sources used in the calculation of the Social Security amount. The member’s benefit under SCERS plus the amount received from Social Security cannot be less than the member’s benefit under SCERS calculated with no reductions at the time of retirement. The City applies this offset to service retirees, not to disabled retirees.
Contributions – The City Charter grants the authority to establish and amend the contribution requirements of the City and active employees to the SCERS Board. The SCERS Board establishes rates based on actuarially determined rates recommended by an independent actuary. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrual liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the active employee contribution rate was 1.10% of annual pay, and the City’s contribution rate was 1497% of covered payroll.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the contributions for the SCERS plan were $1,362.

Net Pension Liability (Asset)
The City’s net pension liability (asset) for SCERS was measured as of June 30, 2025 and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability (asset) was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
Actuarial Assumption – The total pension liability in the June 30, 2025 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.50%
Salary increase 2.50% CPI Plus 0.5% merit, average
Discount rate 6.00%
Mortality rates for service retirements and beneficia ries were based on CalPERS 2000-2019 Mortality Table projected for future mortality improvement utilizing Society of Actuaries Scale MP-2021. Mortality rates for disability retirements were based on CalPERS 2000-2019 Mortality Table for non-work related Disabled Retirees for Miscellaneous and CalPERS 2000-2019 Mortality Table for work-related Disabled Retirees for Safety. Both tables were projected for future mortality improvement utilizing Society of Actuaries Scale MP-2021.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for ea ch 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
Long-Term Expected
Real Rate of Return
Fixed Income/Real Estate 40.0% 4.2%
Large Cap Growth 30.0% 7.1%
Equity Income 30.0% 7.1%
Total 100.0%
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contributions rates and the employee rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected fu ture benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 9 – OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
General Information
Plan Description – The City provides contributions for postempl oyment medical, dental and vision benefits to employees who retire directly from the City and t heir dependents through an agent-multiple employer defined benefit OPEB plan (OPEB Plan) through CalPERS. The postemployment health, dental, and vision care employer contributions range from $0 to $1,028 per month per participant, which covers between 0% and 100% of the benefit cost, depending on the choice of plan and number of dependents. Participants have the choice of enrolling in one of several health plans, one of two dental plans, and one of two vision plans. To be eligible for the City paid benefits, the employee must have been employed with the City by a certain hire date, retire with a minimum of ten full years of active City service and be 50 years of age. Participants with a minimum of twenty years of service are eligible for 100% of the maximum benefit. Participants with more than fifteen years but less than twenty years of service are eligible for 75% of the maximum benefit. Participants with more than ten years but less than fifteen years of service are eligible for 50% of the maximum benefit. The eligibility of the City’s postemployment health contributions has been eliminated for employees hired after a certai n date dependent upon the employee’s labor agreement.
The postemployment health, dental and vision care contributions are defined by labor agreements and resolutions approved by the City Council. The City does not issue a separate stand-alone financial report for its OPEB plan.

General Information (Continued)
In addition, the City established an irrevocable trust to pre-fund the other benefits with the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT). The CERBT financial statements and additional reports can be obtained from the CalPERS website www.calpers.ca.gov.
Employees Covered – At June 30, 2023, the most re cent valuation date, the following current and former employees were covered by the benefit terms under the OPEB Plan:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 3,144 Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 441 Active employees 4,013
Total 7,598
Contributions – The plan and its contribution requirements are established by memorandums of understanding with the applicable employee bargaining units and ma y be amended by agreements between the City and the bargaining units. The City is mainly funding the OPEB Plan on a pay-as-you-go basis. However, the City Council has authorized the City Manag er to establish an OPEB trust fund with CalPERS that the City pre-funds with budgetary savings. Contributions recognized by the OPEB plan from the employer for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 were $23,959.
Net OPEB Liability
The City’s net OPEB liability is measured as the total OPEB liability, less the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position.
The net OPEB liability is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023, rolled forward to June 30, 2024. A summary of principa l assumptions and methods used to determine the net OPEB liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions – The total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Actuarial Cost Method Entry-Age Normal Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.25%
Inflation 2.50%

retirement.
Assumptions based on plan experience.
Mortality and pre-retirement turnover assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 valuation were based on the results of the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study derived from data collected during fi scal years 2000 to 2019. Mortality improvement was projected utilizing Society of Actuaries Scale MP-2021.

NOTE 9 – OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) (Continued)
Net OPEB Liability (Continued)
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the tota l OPEB liability was 6.25% for the OPEB Plan. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed an annual trust contribution of $1,500, which is lower than the City’s annual trust contribution average for the previous five fiscal years. Based on this assumption, the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position was proj ected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on the OPEB Plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit pa yments to determine the total OPEB liability.
The long-term expected real rate of return on the OPEB Plan investments was determined using stochastic modeling based on expected real rate of return, standard deviation, correlation coefficients, and target allocation for each major asset class. The resulting real rate of retu rn for the portfolio at the 50% confidence level is then adjusted for assumed long-term inflation and investment expenses to produce the long-term expected rate of return for the portfolio. The target asset allocation and most recent best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class Target Allocation
Long-term Expected

NOTE 12 – RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to t he following: worker’s compensation; torts, including errors and omissions; employment practices; theft of, damage to , and destruction of assets; and natural disasters, for which the City self-insures and/or carries commercial insurance. Earthquake damage is not included in the property insurance coverage carried by the City.
The Risk Management Internal Service Fund self-insures t he first $2,000 of each workers’ compensation claim.
Excess worker’s compensation insurance is purchased through the Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM) member directed risk sharing pool and it provides statutory coverage over the City’s $2,000 self-insured retention. The fund self-insures the first $2,000 of liability claims plus claim costs that exceed excess coverage. PRISM provides $40,000 in excess general and auto liability claims coverage, with a $2,000 loss corridor deductible, for claims over the City’s self-insured retention.
Liabilities are estimated based on recommendations from an independent actuarial evaluation. Liabilities are based on the estimated ultimate cost of settling claims, including effects of inflation and other social and economic factors.
The estimated liability is then discounted by the City’s expected rate of return and anticipated timing of cash outlays to determine the present value of the liability. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the expected rate of return was 3%. Settled claims have not exceeded insurance coverage for each of the past three fiscal years.
All funds of the City participate in the program and make payments to the Risk Management Internal Service Fund based on estimates of the amounts needed to pay operating costs, insurance premiums, and prior and current year claims. At June 30, 2025, the Risk Management Internal Service Fund had a deficit net position of $12,410.
Liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not repor ted (IBNR). The result of the process to estimate the claims liability is not an exact amount as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, economic and social factors, and trends in damage awards. Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to consider the effects of these factors. The estimate of the claims liability also includes amounts for incremental claim adjustment expenses related to specific claims and other claim adjustment expenses regardless of whether allocated to specific claims. Estimated recoveries, for example from salvage or subrogation, are another component of the claim liability estimate.
Changes in the Risk Management Internal Service F und’s claims liability for the past two fiscal years are summarized as follows:
2025 2024
Accrued claims and judgments, July 1 142,415$ 134,788$ Incurred claims and adjustment expenses 40,660 44,630 Claim payments (31,730) (37,003)
Accrued claims and judgments, June 30 151,345$ 142,415$

Contingent Liabilities
The City participates in various f ederal, state, and local grant programs , primarily including Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP), State of California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) and Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) programs. These programs are subject to financial and compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. The audits of these programs for earlier years and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 have not been completed in all cases; accordingly, final determination of the City’s compliance with applicable grant requirements may be established at some future date. The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time. The City believes any such claims would be immaterial to the City’s financial position at June 30, 2025. Receipt of these grant revenues is not assured in the future.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
Litigation
Various claims and lawsuits are pending against the City. As discussed in Note 12, the City is primarily self-insured and has accrued a liability for estimated claims outstanding. Although the outcome of these claims and lawsuits is not presently determinable, management, after consultation with legal counsel, is of the opinion that final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.
Landfill Postclosure Care Cost
The City has several landfill sites which have stopped accepting waste, have been covered, and are closed. State and federal laws and regulations require that the City perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at these sites after closure. The most recent department study done in FY24 estimated that $6,136 was required for future post closure monitoring costs as of June 30, 2024. The estimate was based on actual cost for the FY22, FY23 and FY24 and may change due to inflation or deflation, technology, or applicable laws and regulations. The estimated liability was amortized to $5,678 on June 30, 2025.
Pollution Remediation Obligations
A pollution remediation obligation is an obligation to address the current or potential detrimental effects of existing pollution by participating in pollution remediation activi ties. The City is responsib le for pollution remediation activities at several sites that have soil contaminated with petroleum, hydrocarbons, and/or metals. Regulatory agencies providing oversight of the City’s pollution remediation obligations and activities include the State of California Regional Water Quality Control Board, the State of California Depar tment of Toxic Substance Control, the Sacramento County Department of Environmental Management, and the State of California Department of Public Health. The estimated obligation was $1,020 at June 30, 2024 and $2,138 at June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to updated cost estimates for the Indus Gas site based on current monitoring results and anticipated remediation activities at the City Incinerator site fo llowing the demolition of the hi storic structure. Pollution remediation outlays totaled approximately $65 for the year ended June 30, 2025. Pollution remediation obligations are measured based on outlays expected to be incurred to settle all estimable remediation efforts. Pollution remediation obligations are measured at the current value of reasonable and supportable assumptions about future events that may affect the eventual settlement of the obligations. Pollution remediation obligations are measured using the expected cash flow technique, which measures the obligation as the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible cash flows. Estimates are based on all currently available information, as well as the facts and circumstances of each si tuation, but may change due to price changes, changes in laws or regulations, changes in remediation technologies, or as additional information become available. There are no estimated recoveries from other parties that are included in the calculation of the City’s pollution remediation obligations.

JOINT VENTURES
Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency
The City is a participant with the County of Sacramen to in the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA). SHRA is a stand-alone agency governed by the County Board of Supervisors over County housing activities and the City Council over City housing activiti es.

Based upon the approval process for activities of the Housing Authority of the City of Sacramento (H ousing Authority), the City has the ability to directly influence SHRA to undertake projects for the ci tizenry of the City. Because the City’s primary government does not have an equity interest in SHRA, SHRA’s financial information is not included in these financial st atements.

JOINTLY GOVERNED ORGANIZATIONS WITH RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The City participates in several jointly governed organiza tions for which it appoints a minority of board members.
The City may also provide minor financial support or hav e other financial transactions with these organizations, but it does not have a financial interest in or responsi bility to the organizations. The following organizations had financial transactions with the City during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025:
The City provided $228 in annual support to the Regional Water Authority.
The City provided $220 in annual support to the Sacramento Groundwater Authority.
The City provided $209 in annual support and $3 in program expenses for Downtown/Riverfront Transit Project to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments.

NOTE 15 – SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FUND
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill x1 26 (“the Bill”) which dissolved all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. Succes sor agencies are allocated property tax revenue in an amount necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full.
In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill, a ll redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as legal entities as of February 1, 2012.
On January 31, 2012, the City was elected to be appoi nted as the Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency (RASA) of the City of Sacramento for the non-housing assets and liabilities of the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA). The City Council elected not to serve as the successor agency for the RDA’s housing assets and functions, but instead designated the City’s Housing Authority to serve as the successor housing agency.
Prior to February 1, 2012, California Redevelopment Law provided tax increment financing as a source of revenue to redevelopment agencies to fund redevelopment activities. Once a redevelopment area was adopted, the RDA could only receive tax increment to the extent that it could show on an annual basis that it has incurred indebtedness that must be repaid with tax increment. Due to the nature of redevelopment financing, the RDA’s liabilities exceeded its assets. Therefore, RASA historically carried a deficit, which was expected to be reduced as future tax increment revenues were received and used to repay its outstanding long-term debt. This deficit was transferred to the RASA on February 1, 2012. At June 30, 2025, RASA had a deficit net position of $129,962 which will be eliminated with future property tax revenue distributions from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund administered by the County Auditor-Controller.
