INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Wate
r Board
City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department
San Bernardino, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (the “Department”)a component unit of the San Bernardino, Californi a (the “Ci ty”), as of and for the year ended
June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Department of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the changes in its financial position and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards , issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilit ies under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our repo rt. We are required to be independent of the Department 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.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements pres ent only the Department and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City , as of June 30, 2024, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in acco rdance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of 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.

San Bernardino, California
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 wi th generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an op inion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies us ed and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting pr
inciples generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and required pension and other postemployment benefits schedules, as listed on 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 statemen ts, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management ’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. 2 Packet Page. 835

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 27, 2024, on our consideration of the Depa rtment’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 Department’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 department’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Departm ent (Department) is a water, sewer collection and treatment utility responsible for delivering high quality, economically priced water, sewer treatment and sewer collections services to a quarter of a million customers in and around the City of San Bernardino, California. This section of the Department’s annual financial report presents management’s analysis of the Department’s financial performance during the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2024. Please read it in conjunction with the basic financial statements which follow this section.

All amounts in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis within text areas are in thousands unless otherwise noted.

Financial Highlights:
 The Department’s overall net position increased by $4.8 million or 1.4%.  Operating revenues increased $3.7 million or 4.2% from the prior fiscal year. Water consumption was moderately down approximately 1.8% in FY24 from FY23 which lead to only a modest increase in Water revenues, despite a rate increase on July 1, 2023. Sewer revenues increased due to a rate increase effective July 1, 2023.
 Operating expenses increased $16.0 million, 18.2% increase from the prior fiscal year. The most significant increases were noted in the categories of depreciation, pension expense, and personnel increases. The department revised its capital asset categories which accelerated depreciation on several asset categories drastically increasing depreciation expense. Personnel expenses continue to increase due to inflation, rising costs in benefits, and salary adjustments per Department MOU’s.  Net loss before capital contributions was $3.1 million.  The Department’s current ratio (the ability to pay short-term obligations) was 4.4.  Cash available (the ability to cover current expenses with cash) was 558 days.

Overview of the Financial Statements
The discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Department’s basic financial statements. The Department’s basic financial statements are comprised of two components: the Financial Statements and the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Information providing citywide financial results is available in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

Required Financial Statements
The financial statements of the Department report in formation about the Department using accounting methods similar to those used by private sector companies. These statements offer short-term and long-term financial information about its activities. The Statement of Net Position (page 13) includes all of the Department’s investments in resources (assets) and the obligations to creditors (liabilities). It also provides the basis for evaluating the capital structure of the Department and assessing the liquidity and financial flexibility of the Department. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. (page 14) This statement measures the success of the Department’s operations over the past year and can be used to determine whether the Department has successfully recovered all its costs through its user fees and other charges, 5 Packet Page. 838
profitability, and credit worthiness. The final required financial statement is the Statement of Cash Flows (pages 15-16). The primary purpose of this statement is to provide information about the Department’s cash receipts and cash payments during the reporting period. The statement reports cash receipts, cash payments, and net changes in cash resulting from operations, investing, and financing activities and provides answers to questions such as “where did cash come from, what was cash used for, and what was the change in cash balance during the reporting period?” Financial Analysis of the Department
Our analysis of the Department begins on page 5 of the financial statements. One of the most important questions to ask about the Department’s finances is “Whether the Department, as a whole, is better off or worse off as a result of the year’s activities?” The Statement of Net Position, and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position report information about the Department’s activities in a way that will help answer this question. These two statements report the net position of the Department and changes in them. Measuring the change in the Department’s net position - the difference between assets and liabilities - is one way to measure financial health or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the Department’s net postion are indications of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. However, one will need to consider other non-financial factors such as changes in economic conditions, population growth, and zoning and new or changed government legislation.

Water Utility Fund
To begin our analysis, a summary of the Water Utility Fund’s Statement of Net Position is presented in Table A-1.

The table hi
ghlights, the Water Utility total net position increased 2.2% or $4.1 million in fiscal year 2024.

The favorable increase in net position is primarily related to the increase in total capital assets ($6.4 million).

Total revenues in
creased by 12.4% or $6.6 million. Capital grant revenue increased from the prior year due the FEMA grant monies being used for projects as intended. Investment income outperformed the prior year due to better market performance resulting in an increase in investment revenue. Water operating revenues also reflect a modest increase due to a rate increase effective July 1, 2023. Total expenses increased 14.9% or $7.2 million. Significant variances were due to increased depreciation expense. The department revised its capital asset categories which accelerated depreciation drastically increasing depreciation expense.

Total capital assets, net increased by 3.1% or $6.4 million in fiscal year 2024. The Water fund capitalized $4.3 million in various capital projects completed and placed in service during FY2024. The increase is also attributed to an increase in Construction in progress (CIP) expenditures related to Reservoir Seismic upgrades ($3.3 million), SBMWD Administration Facility ($2.8 million), and the Mountain Pressure Zone Main Replacement project ($2.1 million).

This increase was offset by increased operating expenditures due to increased depreciation expense. The department revised its capital asset categories which accelerated depreciation drastically increasing depreciation expense.

Total capital assets increased by 15.2% or $15.7 million in fiscal year 2024, primarily due to the capitalization of the Blower Decentralization project totaling $15 million and expenditures for various sewer capital projects. More information relating to capital assets can be found in Note 3 of the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements.

During the year, the Sewer Utility’s long-term debt decreased 2.4% or $0.7 million which can be attributed to the annual debt service payments. Additional information on long-term debt is presented in Note 4-6 of the Notes to Basic Financial Statements.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
The Service Area (Service Area) economy served by the Department continues to grow and develop.

Development in the City has increased as San Bernardino is one of the remaining affordable areas in the Inland Empire. The City has also received funds from the American Recovery Act that will help stimulate economic growth in the area. The City has encumbered for the Department, approximately $5 million from the American Recovery Act funds, to fund the Department’s Lead Service Lateral capital project.

Additionally, the Department was approved for a State Revolving Funds loan from the State Water Resource Control Board in May of 2022 and a federal grant from the Bureau of Reclamation and FEMA for designated capital projects. Development within the City continues, which has resulted in several new projects for the Department.

The Department adopted a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget takes into consideration rising operational expenses, inflation, and funding our capital program to address aging infrastructure. Additional details regarding the Department’s budget can be found on the Department’s website. Questions or requests for information regarding the Adopted Budget should be directed to the Finance Department.

The Department completed a rate study and a cost-of-service study for the water, sewer treatment, and sewer collection utilities. As a result of the study the water Board adopted a four-year rate increase for the water and sewer funds effective April 1, 2022. The remaining increases are effective annually starting July 1, 2022, through July 1, 2025. These newly adopted rate structures and increases will allow for better revenue stability for the Department as costs increase and drought is a major concern for the State.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMAR Y OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Organization and Operations of the Reporting Entity
The San Berna
rdino Municipal Water Department (D epartment) is governed under the Charter of the City of San Bernardino (City). A Water Board appointed by the Mayor and approved by City Council, has Charter defined powers, with full authority for administration of the water utility and delegated authority for the sewer treatment utility. The Department has served the community since 1905.

B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The Departm
ent reports its activities as enterprise funds, which are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterp rise, where the intent of the Department is that the costs (including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. Revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned, and expenses are recognized in the period incurred, regardless of when the related cash flow takes place.

Operating revenues, such as charges for services (water sales, sewer services and water services) result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the Department. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as property taxes and investment income, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities in which the Department gives (receives) value without directly receiving (giving) equal value in exchange.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are availabl e for use, the Department uses restricted resources and then unrestricted resources.

The major funds of the Department are described below:
 Water Utility Fund – The Water Utility Enterprise Fund (Water Utility) is used to account for the operations of the Department’s water system and related revenues.
 Sewer Utility Fund – The Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund (Sewer Utility) is used to account for the operations of the City’s wastewater treatment system and collection system and related revenues.

Administrative and engineering services are provided by the Water Utility to the Sewer.

C. Financial Reporting
The Depart
ment’s basic financial statements are presented in confor mance with the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, “Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Lo cal Governments” (GASB No. 34). This statement established revised financial reporting requirem ents for state and local governments throughout the United States for the purpose of enhancing the understandability and usefulness of financial reports.

GASB Statement No. 34 and its related GASB pronouncements provide for a revised view of financial information and restructure the format of financial information provided prior to its adoption. A statement of net position replaces the balance sheet and reports assets, liabilities, and the difference between them as net position, not equity. A statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position replaces both the income statement and the statement of changes in retained earnings and contributed capital. GASB Statement No. 34 also requires that the statement of cash flows be prepared using the direct method. Under the direct method, cash flows from operating activities are presented by major categories.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position

1. Use o
f Estimates
The preparation of the basic financia l statements in conformity with gener ally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions t hat affect the reported amount s of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported changes in net position during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Cash and Investments
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Investments are reported in the accompanying balance sheet at fair value, except for certain certificates of deposit and investment contracts that are reported at cost as they are not transferable and have terms that are not affected by changes in market interest rates.

Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year ar e recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation of investments.

3. Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be reported at fair value. The fair value framework provides a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identica l assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of 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.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and fair value is determined th rough the use of models or other valuation methodologies including:
 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are inactive.  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs reflect the Department’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Department’s own data.

4. Accounts Receivable
Customer or trade receivables are shown net of an allowa nce for uncollectible accounts based on historical and management estimates. Transactions between funds that are representative of lending or borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as “interfund receivables / payables” or “advances to/from” other funds. All interfund transactions are eliminated for financial reporting. 18 Packet Page. 851

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

5. Inventory
Materials and supplies inventory consist primarily of water meters, pipes and pipefittings for construction and repair to the Department’s water transmission and distribution system and items necessary for maintenance at the sewer treatment facilities. Inventory is valued at cost using a weighted average method. Inventory items are charged to expense at the time that individual items are withdrawn from inventory or consumed.

Water inventory is stated at its pur chase cost using the first in, first out method. Inventory is recorded when purchased and expensed at the time the inventory is consumed.

6. Prepaid Expense and Deposit
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs or deposits applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in the basic financial statements.

7. Capital Assets and Intangible Right-to-Use Assets
Capital assets acquired or constructed are capitalized at historic cost. Department policy has set the capitalization threshold for reporting capital assets at $5,000 and a life expectancy of at least 3 years. Overhead is capitalized at the rate of 28.9% of labor and benefits, 10% of ma terial and supplies and 2% of significant contracts.

Intangible right-to-use assets are defined by the Department as assets with an estimated useful life in excess of 3 years and with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Source of supply plant 8 to 50 years
Disposal plant and interceptor lines 35 to 50 years

8. Compensated Absences
Department policy is to permit employees to accumulate a limited amount of earned vacation and sick leave. Various negotiation groups have different sell-back and cash out options. Additionally, cash out options upon retirement or death of the employee vary based on the negotiation group. Employees’ vacation and sick leave benefits are recognized as a liability of the Department.

9. Restricted Assets and Amounts Payable from Restricted Assets Amounts shown as restricted assets have been restricted by bond indentures or are to be used for specified purposes based on contract provisions, such as bonded debt service. Certain liabilities which are currently payable have been classified as current liabilities payable from restricted assets since assets have been restricted for their payment.

10. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position and additions to/deductions from the fiduciary net position have been determined on t he same basis as they are reported by the Department.

For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) ar e recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

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

Valuation Date (VD) June 30, 2022
Measurement Date (MD) June 30, 2023
Measurement Period (MP) July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023

11. Othe
r Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, info rmation about the fiduciary net position of the Department’s plan (OPEB Plan), the assets of which are held by US Bank in an irrevocable trust, and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined by an independent ac tuary. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

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

Valuation Date June 30, 2022
Measurement Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Period July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023

12. Deferred Outflows/Inflows
In addition to assets, the St
atement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section of deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, def erred outflows of resources, represents consumption of net assets that applies to a future period and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expenses/expenditures) until then. The Department has two items that qualify for reporting in this category: the deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB.

In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial positi on will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Department has thr ee items that qualify for reporting in this category, of which two relate to deferred inflows related to pensions and OPEB. Lastly, leases related items for the amount of the lease receivable plus any lease payments related to future periods, less an y lease incentives paid to, or on behalf of, the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease term.

13. Interfund Eliminations
The interfund eliminations column represents entries made to eliminate interfund income and expenditure transactions between the water utility fund and the sewe r utility fund for the purposes of consolidated financial statements.

14. Net Position
The financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is categorized as follows:
 Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by any debt out standing against the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
 Restricted Net Position – This component of net position consists of constraints placed on net position use through external constraints imposed by creditors, grant ors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.  Unrestricted Net Position – This component of net position consists of net position that does not meet the definition of restricted or net investment in capital assets.

15. Capital Con
tributions
Contributions in aid of construction represent cash and utility plant additions contribu ted to the Department by property owners or developers desiring services that require capital expenditures or capacity commitment. In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 33, the capital contributions are recorded on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net position.

16. Budgetary Policies
The Department adopts an annual budget for planning, c ontrol, and evaluation purpo ses. Budgetary control and evaluation are affected by comparisons of actual revenues and expenses with planned revenues and expenses for the period. Encumbrance accounting is not used to account for commitments related to outstanding contracts for construction and services.

17. Leases
Lessee: The Department is a lessee for a noncancellable le ase of a building. The Department recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right -to-use lease asset (lease asset) in the statement of net position. The Department recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more.

At the commencement of a lease, the Department initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs.

Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the Depa rtment determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments.  The Department uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the Department uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
 The lease term includes the non-cancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase optio n price that th e Department is reasonably certain to exercise.

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The Department monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease assets and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.

Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the statement of net position.

Lessor: The Department is a lessor for various noncancellable leases of land. The Department recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the statement of net position.

At the commencement of a lease, the De partment initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is init ially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date.

Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.

Key estimates and judgments include how the Department determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts.  The Department uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.  The lease term includes the non-cancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable are composed of fixed payments from the lessee.

The Department monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease, and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of re sources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.

18. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements The Department is a subscriber for a noncancellable subscription of information technology services. The Department recognizes subscription liability and an intangible right-to-use subscription asset (subscription asset) in the government -wide financial statements. The Department recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more.

At the commencement of a subscription, the Department init ially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of subscription payments made. The subscription asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the subscription liability, adjusted for subscription payments made at or before the subscription commencement date, plus certain init ial direct costs. Subsequently, the subscription asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Key estimates and judgments related to subscriptions include how the Department determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments.  The Department uses the interest rate charged by t he vendor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the vendor is not provided, the Department uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for subscriptions.
 The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the subscription. Subscription payments included in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments that the Department is reasonably certain to exercise.

NOTE 2: CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
B. Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
Investment
s of debt proceeds held by bond trustees are governed by provisi ons of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City ’s investment policy. Investments authorized for funds held by bond trustee include, U.S. Treasury Obligations, U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise Securities, the California Local Agency Investment Fund, Guaranteed Investment Contracts, Commercial Paper, Local Agency Bonds, Banker’s Acceptance and Money Market Mutual Funds. There are no limitations on the maximum amount that can be invested in one issuer, maximum percentage allowed or the maximum maturity of an investment, except for the maturity of Banker’s Acceptance which are limited to one year.

C. Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial
credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be abl e to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. T he California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposit made by a state or local governmental unit by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law.

The fair 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 the Department’s deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.

For investment identified herein as held by bond trustee, the bond trustee selects the investment under the terms of the applicable trust agreement, acquires the investmen t, and holds the investment on behalf of the reporting government.

D. Investment in State Investment Pool
The Departm
ent is a voluntary participant in the Local Ag ency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversi ght of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the Department’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the Department’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. LAIF is not rated by a nati onally recognized statistical rating organization, but as stated previously, it is regu lated by the California Govern ment Code, and is therefore exempt from rating requirements.

E. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk i
s the possibility that fluctuations in market interest rates w ill adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value will be to changes in market interest rates. One method that the Department uses to manage 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 matures or comes close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide requirements for cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. 24 Packet Page. 857

F. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the possibility that the issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment.

This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the Department’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type.

The Department is considered to be part of the City of San Bernardino PERS pension plan, therefore all related information included in this note refers to the City as a whole unless specifically indicating otherwise. All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Department’s Miscellaneous Plan, an agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administer ed by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers. Benefit provisions under the Plan are estab lished by State statute and Local Government resolution.

CalPERS issues publicly available reports that incl ude a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.

B. Employees Covered
As of the June
30, 2022 valuation date, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms of the Plan:

C. Contribution Description
Section 208
14(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determ ined 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 accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended.

Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identifi ed by the pension plan terms as plan member contribution requirements are classified as plan member contributions. Plan contributions for the year equaled $7,744,386.

D. Actuarial Methods and A ssumptions used to determine Total Pension Liability The June 30,
2022 valuation was rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2023 total pension liability, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

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

2.30% thereafter
The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions . Mortality rates incorporate full generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the 2021 experienc e study report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.

E. Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expe
cted rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

NOTE 7: PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED)
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 administra tive expenses of 10 Basis points. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:

F. Discount Rate
The disco
unt rate used to measure the total pension liab ility was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan me mbers will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

G. Amortization of Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Under GASB
Statement No. 68, gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time.

The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense.

The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss:

Net difference between projected 5-year straight-line amortization and actual earnings on pension
plan investments
All other amounts Straight-line amortization over the expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.

The EARSL for the plan for the measurement period endi ng June 30, 2023 is 2.2 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 7,412 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 3,334 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and re tired). Inactive employees and retirees have remaining service lifetimes equal to 0. Total future service is based on the members’ probabilit y of decrementing due to an event other than receiving a cash refund.

H. Changes in Net Pension Liability
The following table shows the Department’s proportionate share of the net pensi on liability of the City’s plan over
the measurement period:

The net pension liability of the plan is measured as of June 30, 2023, and the total pension liability for the plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation of June 30, 2022 rolled forward to June 30, 2023, using standard update procedures. The pr oportion of the net pension lability was based on a projection of the Department’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The Department’s proportionate share of the net pension lability for the plan as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 36 percent.

K. Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
The plan fiduciary
net position disclosed in the GASB 68 accounting valuation report may differ from the plan assets reported in the funding actuarial valuation report due to several reasons. First, for the accounting valuations, CalPERS must keep items such as deficiency reserves , fiduciary self-insurance and OPEB expense included as assets. These amounts are excluded for rate setting purposes in the funding actuarial valuation. In addition, differences may result from early Annual Comprehensive Financial Report closing and final reconciled reserves.

NOTE 8: OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
A. Plan Description
The Depart
ment provides health benefits to all qualif ying retirees and their spouses in accordance with Memorandums of Understanding under various labor agree ments. The other post-employment benefits plan is a single-employer plan administered by the Department.

NOTE 8: OTHER POST-EMPLOYMEN T BENEFITS (OPEB) (CONTINUED) The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of re turn (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing 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
Expected Real
Rate of Return
Fixed income 40% 1.47%
Global Equity 60% 4.82%
Assumed long-term rate of inflation - 2.75%
Expected long-term net rate of return - 6.25%
Total 100%
E. Discoun
t Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25 percent. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed t hat the Department’s contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

F. Changes in the Net OPEB Liability/(Asset)
The changes in the net OPEB liability/(asset) are as f

I. Recognition of Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Gains and losses rela ted
to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net posit ion are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time.

Amounts are first recognized in OPEB expe nse for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources relate d to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expenses.

The recognition period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The net difference between projected and actual earnings on OPEB plan investments are amortiz ed over 5 years, while all other deferred outflows and inflows are amortized over the average expected remaining service life of plan participants.

J. OPEB Income and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Department recogni zed OPEB income of $1,446,918. As of fiscal year

NOTE 9: JOINT VENTURES
A. Colton/San Bernardino Regional Tertiary Treatment and Water Reclamation Authority On August 2, 1994, the City of San Bernardi
no, through the Department form ed a joint powers authority with the City of Colton to construct, operate, use, and mainta in tertiary wastewater treatment, disposal, and water reclamations systems, incl uding the Regional Rapid Infiltration and Extraction Facility (RIX). This authority is governed by a separate board consisting of four members: two appointed by the City of San Bernardino through the Department’s BOWC and two appointed by the City Coun cil of the City of Colton. Construction of RIX was administered by the Santa Ana Watershed Project Author ity and was completed during 1996. Administration and operation were turned over at that time. The cities of San Bernardino and Colton each have a measurable equity interest in the net position of RIX in proportion to its contributions, which are based on an 80% / 20% split, respectively. Substantially all of the assets of RIX are in the form of capital assets. Annual revenues (in the form of contributions from the two member citi es) are equal to annual expenses. The Department's equity interest in this joint venture has been reported as an investment in joint venture in the accompanying statement of net position. Below are the most currently availabl e condensed audited financial statements of RIX as of June 30, 2024. The RIX complete financial statements may be obtained at City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department at: 1350 South E. Street, San Bernardino, California 92418.

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. Risk Management
Risk manage
ment activities are recorded in all utility funds. Significant losses are covered by insurance for all major events except workers’ compensation, for which the Department retains risk of loss in conjunction with the City of San Bernardino’s risk management program for workers compensation. Settlement amounts have not exceeded insurance coverage for the current year or the prior three years. Insurance coverage has been increased over the past several years.

The Department records an estimated liability for workers’ compensation. Claims liabilities are based on estimates of the ultimate cost of reported claims and an estimate for claims incurred but not reported based upon historical experience. Workers’ compensation claims liability is not discounted.

The following are the changes in approximate aggregate liabilities for the years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. During the past three fiscal (claims) ye ars, the Department had no settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were also no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage in fiscal year 2024.

B. Litigation
In the ordinary co
urse of operations, the Department is su bject to claims and litigation from outside parties. After consultation with legal counsel, the Department believes t he ultimate outcome of such matters, if any, will not materially affect its financial condition.

C. Construction Commitments
The following schedule summarizes the major contractual commitments as of June 30, 2024:

NOTE 11: FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS
Grant funds received by the Department are subject to audit by the grantor agencies. Such an audit could lead to request
s for reimbursements to the grantor agencies for expenditures disallowed under the terms of the grant. The management of the Department believes that such disallowances, if any, would not be significant. The Department produces a Single Audit that details the use of grant and Consent Decree funds (see note 12 for information on the Consent Decree).

NOTE 12: CONSENT DECREE
In 1996, the City of San Bernardino filed a complaint against the United States of America, Departme nt of the Army to recover damages, response costs and other available remedies relating to contamination alleged to have originated at a World War II army installation known as Camp Ono. In March 2005, the United States District Court, Central Division entered judgment, in the form of a consent decree, in the matter of City of San Bernardino v. United States of America. The Consent Decree settl es the City’s and the State’s claims arising from the groundwater contamination allegedly caused by the Army. The Consent Decree contains a number of provisions obligating the City (through the Department) to operate and maintain the Newmark Groundwater Superfund Site (Site). The Site consists of two operable units, the Newmark Operable Unit, and the Muscoy Operable Unit. The Newmark Operable Unit was declared operational and functional in 1998. The Muscoy Operable unit was declared operational and functional in 2007.

The Consent Decree provided for a payment of $69 million from the Army to the City for performance of the work outlined in the Consent Decree. Upon ac ceptance of the Consent Decree, th e Department received title to all facilities constructed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the Site and agreed to operate and maintain the groundwater extraction and treatment syst em for a period of 50 years. The $69 million payment consisted of $59 million for operations and maintenance and $10 million for the construction of certain capital facilities that would be required in t he future; the funds are subject to st rict limitations, contained in the Consent Decree, as to how the money may be spent.

Pursuant to the Consent Decree, $10 million, including inte rest earne d, has been set aside to be used only for (i) funding construction of treatment and directly related transmission systems that expand the Department’s capacity to deliver potable water and (ii) funding work performed by the Department to complete construction of the Muscoy Operable Unit extraction system. These capital facility funds may not be used for costs incurred to operate, maintain, repair, or retrofit components of the site extraction of treatment systems constructed by EPA.

NOTE 12: CONSENT DECREE (COTNINUED)
In March 2006, the Department entered into a Guar anteed Investment Contract with AIG Match Funding Corporation. The Department invested $16,482,039 of excess Consent Decr ee funds into an interest-bearing Escrow Fund investment with an interest rate of 4. 95% per annum. These funds were invested to pay costs associated with the water facilities defined in the Consent Decree for the years 2035-2056. An additional $50 million was used to purchase a blended insurance policy to provide a financial vehicle that provides cost gap coverage for the first 30 years of expenses.

The terms of the Guaranteed Investment Contract only provided the Department with the position of a secured creditor with respect to an AIG bankruptcy. As concerns arose regarding AIG’s financial credibility, in October 2009, the Department negotiated and accepted a “payout” in the amount of $18,661,876 which represented the principal and accrued interest as of that date. These funds are cu rrently invested in a diversified portfolio managed by PFM Asset Management and are presented in more detail in Note 3.

NOTE 13: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Department evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through November 27, 2024, the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued. Management concluded that no material subsequent events have occurred since June 30, 2024, th at required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON

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

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Water Board
San Bernardino Municipal Water Department
San Bernardino, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of each major f und of the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (the “De partment”), a component unit of the City of San Bernardino, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Department’s basic financi al statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 27, 2024.

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

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatem ent of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal co ntrol that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. We identified certain deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2024-001, that we consider to be a significant deficiency.

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

However, providing an opinion on compliance with thos e provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Department’s Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited pr ocedures on the Department’s response to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

The Department’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.

Purpose of This Report
The pu
rpose of this report is solely to describe the sc ope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entit y’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

San Bernardino, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (the “Department”), a component unit of the City of San Bernardino, California (the “Cit y”)’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the Department’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. The Department’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.

In our opinion, the Department complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Progra
m
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained inGovernment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.

We are required to be independent of the Department and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our op inion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Depa rtment’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.

Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal c ontrol over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the Department’s federal programs.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the Department’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance LSLCPAS.COM

and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards , and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resu lting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggre gate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the Department’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we:
 Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material noncompli ance, 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 Department’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  Obtain an understanding of the Department’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in t he circumstances and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Unif orm Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department’s internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficienci es and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.

Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Our consideration of internal control over comp liance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance and therefore, material weaknesses or sign ificant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

However, as discussed below, we did identify a certain deficiency in internal control over compliance that we consider to be a significant deficiency.

A significant deficiency in inte rnal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the deficiencies in internal control over compliance described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2024-001 to be a significant deficiency.

Our audit was not designed for the purpo se of expressing an opinion on the effe ctiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the Department’s response to the internal control over compliance findings identified in our compliance audit described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned cost s. The Department’s response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of compliance and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response. 4 Packet Page. 932

The purpose of this report on internal control over compli ance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance.

Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance We have audited the financial statements of the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department, a component unit of the City of San Bernardino, as of and for the year ende d June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Department’s basic financial statements.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
Notes To The Schedule Of Expenditures of Federal Awards For The Year Ended June 30, 2024

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLICABLE TO THE SCHEDULE OF

EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS

A. Scope of Presentation

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal grant activity of the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (the "Department"), a component unit of the City of San Bernardino, California (the “City”), under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requir ements of the Uniform Guid ance. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Department, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the Department, nor does it present all federal programs of the City of San Bernardino as a whole.

B. Basis of Accounting

Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance. Under the accrual basis of accounting, expenditures are recognized when incurred. Expenditures reported include any property or equipment acquisitions incurred under the federal program. The Department did not use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in section 200.414 of the Uniform Guidance.

NOTE 2: BACKGROUND OF THE CONSENT DECREE

In 1996, the City filed a complaint against the United States of America, Department of the Army (Army) to recover damages, response costs and other available remedies relating to contamination alleged to have originated at a World War II Army installation known as Camp Ono. In March 2005, the United States Department Court, Central Department, entered judgment, in the form of a consent decree (Consent Decree), in the matter of City of San Bernardino v. United States of America. The consent decree settles the City’s and the State’s claims arising from the groundwater contamination allegedly caused by the Army. The Consent Decree contains a number of provisions obligating the City (through the Municipal Water Department) to operate and maintain the Newmark Groundwater Superfund site (Site). The Site consists of two operable units, the Newmark Operable Unit and the Muscoy Operable Unit. The Newmark Operable Unit was declared operational and functional in 1998.

The Consent Decree provided for a payment of $69 million fr om the Army to the City for performance of the work outlined in the consent decree. Upon entry of the Consent Decree, the City, through the Department, received title to all facilities constructed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the Site and agreed to operate and maintain the groundwater extraction and treatment system for a period of 50 years. The $69 million payment consisted of $59 million for operation and maintenance and $10 million for the construction of certain capital facilities that would be required in th e future. The funds are subject to strict limitations, contained in the Consent Decree, as to how they may be spent.

Pursuant to the Consent Decree, $10 million, including interest earned, has been set aside to be used only for (i) funding construction of treatment and directly related transmission systems that expanded the Department’s capacity to deliver potable water, and (ii) funding work performed by the Department to complete construction of the Muscoy Operable Unit extraction system. These “capital facility” funds may not be used for costs incurred to operate, maintain, repair or retrofit components of the Site extraction or treatment systems constructed by EPA.

In September 2007, the Muscoy Operable Unit was declared operational and functional. 7 Packet Page. 935

For the Year Ended June 30, 2024

SECTION II - FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS

Reference Number
2024-001

Evaluation of Finding
Significant Deficiency

Condition
San Bernardino Municipal Water Department personnel did not properly adhere to Department policies and procedures for verifying the authenticity of vendor requests to change bank account information. As a result, an unauthorized person was able to impersonate a legitimate vendor and submit a fraudulent request to change the bank account number associated with the vendor's invoices. The Department processed the request without verifying the identity of the requester or the validity of the new bank account information, resulting in approximately $65,000 being paid to the wrong bank account before detecting the fraud.

Criteria
Internal control standards require that organizations establish and adhere to policies and procedures to verify the authenticity of vendor requests to change bank account information. This includes contacting the vendor by phone or in person using a previously known or independently obtained contact number and confirming the request and the new bank account information with an authorized representative of the vendor.

Cause of Condition
The Department lacked a written policy and procedure for verifying vendor requests to change bank account information. Additionally, staff respon sible for processing vendor payments were not adequately trained on the importance of verifying such requests.

Effect or Potential Effect of Condition
The deficiency in internal control over vendor payments exposes the Department to the risk of financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities. In this instance, the Department paid approximately $65,000 to the wrong bank account before detecting the fraud.

Recommendation
To prevent and detect similar frauds in the future, we recommend that the Department implement the following measures:

1. Establish a written policy an d procedure for verifying vendor requests to change bank account information.

This should include contacting the vendor by phone or in person using a previously known or independently obtained contact number, and confirming the request and the new bank account information with an authorized representative of the vendor.

2. Train the staff responsible for processing vendor payments on the new policy and procedure, emphasizing the importance of adhering to it.

3. Periodically review the vendor master file to identify any changes made to vendor bank account information.

Perform independent verification of these changes and investigate any discrepancies or anomalies.

4. Reconcile vendor payments with vendor statements an d bank statements on a timely basis and follow up on any outstanding or unusual items.

Client Response
The Finance division has implemented additional procedures to mitigate the risk in the future. Vendor requests for new banking information or electronic payments submitted to Finance go into a workflow to be reviewed and independently verified. Senior staff call the requesting vendor to verify all information submitted before being approved in the Financial system. Staff have been trained and advised to not pay vendors without this verification process and physically cannot without the approval in the system.

To the Water Board
City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department
San Bernardino, California
We have audited the financial statements of each major fund of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (the “Department”), a department of the City of San Bernardino, California (the “City”) for the year ended June 30, 2024. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated April 5, 2024. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by Department are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during fiscal year 2023 -2024. We noted no transactions entered into by the Department during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

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

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

Management’s estimates of the pension, other postemployment benefits, and self -insured claims liabilities are based on actuarial valuations. We evaluated the methods, assumptions, and data used to develop the pension, other postemployment benefits, and self -insured claims liabilities in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

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

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

Packet Page. 939

To the Water Board
City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department
San Bernardino, California

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements

Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.

Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.

Disagreements with Management

For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations

We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated November 27, 2024.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants

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

Other Audit Findings or Issues

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

Other Matters

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

We were not engaged to report on the introductory and statistical sections of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON

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

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Water Board
City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department
San Bernardino, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (the “Department”), a component unit of the City of San Bernardino, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Department’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated November 27, 2024.

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

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatem ent of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal co ntrol that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. We identified a certain deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses as item 2024-001 that we consider to be a significant deficiency.

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

However, providing an opinion on compliance with thos e provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

San Bernardino, California

Department’s Response to Findings

Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited pr ocedures on the Department’s response to the findings identified in our audit and described in t he accompanying schedule of findings and responses. The Department’s response was not subjected to the other a uditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.

Purpose of This Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the sc ope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entit y’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Evaluation of Finding
Significant Deficiency

Condition
San Bernardino Municipal Water Department personnel did not properly adhere to Department policies and procedures for verifying the authenticity of vendor r equests to change bank account information. As a result, an unauthorized person was able to impersonate a legitimate vendor and submit a fraudulent request to change the bank account number associated with the vendor's invoices.

Cause of Condition
The Department lacked a written policy and procedure for verifying vendor requests to change bank account information. Additionally, staff responsible for proce ssing vendor payments were not adequately trained on the importance of verifying such requests.

Effect or Potential Effect of Condition
The deficiency in internal control over vendor payment s exposes the Department to the risk of financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities. In this instance, the Department paid approximately $65,000 to the wrong bank account before detecting the fraud.

To prevent and detect similar frauds in the future, we recommend that the Department implement the following measures:

DISCUSSION
City of San Bernardino
Request for Council Action
Date: February 5, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Rochelle Clayton, Acting City Manager
Department: City Manager's Office
Subject: Authorization to Initiate Reorganization Proceedings with the City of Highland for a .56-acre Parcel Located at the Southeast Corner of Victoria Avenue and 5th Street (APN:
1192-551-01) (Ward 1)
Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize staff to initiate reorganization proceedings with the City of Highland regarding APN: 1192-551-01, consisting of a .56-acre parcel, located at the southeast corner of Victoria Avenue and 5th Street, within the sphere of influence and boundary of the City of San Bernardino.

Executive Summary
The recommended action will initiate reorganization proceedings with the City of Highland consisting of a single parcel located at the southeast corner of Victoria Avenue and 5th Street in the City of San Bernardino. The reorganization would include detaching a .56-acre parcel from the City of San Bernardino’s sphere of influence and boundary to the City of Highland. The City of Highland has submitted the request for reorganization to accommodate a 7.2-acre industrial development consisting of multiple parcels otherwise located within the City of Highland. The proposed project will include a 173,976 square-foot warehouse which will include 12,000 square-feet of office space at build out.

Background
The City of Highland had previously requested that the City of San Bernardino consider detaching a .56-acre parcel that is generally located at the southeast terminus of Victoria Avenue and 5th Street, also known as APN: 1192-551-01, for the purpose of annexing into the City of Highland, on behalf of the property owner, Patriot USICVI 5th Street, LLC. (Exhibit A) The proposed industrial development, including this property, Packet Page. 961

would combine with 10 other parcels, all located within the City of Highland and totaling

7.23-acres. The proposed reorganization will streamline the development of the project and adjust services and sphere of influence boundaries.

Discussion
Under the reorganization proposal, no parcels would be annexed into the City of San Bernardino, and one vacant parcel would be detached from the City of San Bernardino.

The present land use for the parcel located in the City of San Bernardino is Commercial General – 1 (CG-1). The CG-1 zoning designation is intended to provide for the continued use, enhancement, and new development of retail, personal service, entertainment, office and related commercial uses along major transportation corridors and intersections.

The detachment of the property from the City of San Bernardino’s sphere of influence would transfer the Property (APN 1192-551-01) and the corresponding services from the City of San Bernardino to the City of Highland. Should the reorganization be approved as proposed, the property tax revenue, which is estimated to be approximately $17,603 per year, would be transferred from the County of San Bernardino to the City of Highland. Additionally, the southeastern boundary line for the City of San Bernardino would be adjusted to recognize the annexation.

Staff is recommending that the Mayor and City Council authorize the initiation of reorganizing proceedings with the City of Highland. The proposed reorganization will improve the symmetrical boundary line between the two cities, will defer future costs for services (Code Enforcement, Police Department, Public Works, etc.) to the City of Highland, and reduce the costs associated of maintaining the corresponding street improvements fronting Victoria Avenue (pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk). The potential deferred costs for services and street maintenance will be further detailed throughout the reorganization process, once approved and initiated by Council.

The formal detachment proceedings would be coordinated through the City of Highland and conducted by LAFCO, which would Include the City of Highland working directly with the Property Owner, Patriot USICVI 5th Street, LLC. These proceedings would include mailing notices to applicable property owners within the annexation area and coordinating a Public Hearing to allow for public comments. It is estimated that these proceedings would formally initiate during February or March of 2025 and conclude approximately 90 days thereafter.
2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No 2b. Evaluate operations and performance, investment in resources, technology, and tools to continually improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The proposed reorganization will reduce the costs associated with maintenance of the public right-of-way fronting the parcel and improve the southeastern boundary line shared with the City of Highland.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City of San Bernardino. All costs associated with proposed reorganization from the City’s sphere of influence and boundaries will be borne by the City of Highland and the Property Owner through the LAFCO application process.

Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, authorize staff to initiate reorganization proceedings with the City of Highland regarding APN: 1192-551-01, consisting of a .56-acre parcel, located at the southeast corner of Victoria Avenue and 5th Street, within the sphere of influence and boundary of the City of San Bernardino.
