January 14, 2026
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Citizens of the City of San Bernardino:
We are pleased to submit the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of San Bernardino (the City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 202 5. This report is published in accordance with local ordinance and state law requirements that financial statements be presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by an independent public accounting firm of licensed certified public accountants.
This report contains management’s representations concerning the City’s finances. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented and that it is reported in a manner that fairly presents the financial position and operations of the various funds and component units of the City. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, and assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement, City management has established a comprehensive internal control framework designed both to protect its assets and to compile sufficient reliable information to prepare the City ’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh its benefits, internal controls have been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatements. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
Rogers, Anderson, Malody, & Scott, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants, has audited the City’s financial statements. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20 25 are free of material misstatement. The independent auditor concluded it was reasonable to render an unmodified opinion and that the City ’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP.
The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative overview and analysis of the basic financial statements. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.

Profile of the Government
The City of San Bernardino, incorporated as a Charter City in 1854, is located in Southern California, approximately 60 miles east of Los Angeles and 55 miles west of Palm Springs. The City has a land area of approximately 64 square miles and popula tion of over 2 24,000. The City is the County Seat of San Bernardino County, the largest county by land area in the nation. Along with adjacent Rive rside County, these two counties comprise what is called the “Inland Empire,” so-named because it formerly was a vast agriculture domain (primarily citrus). This area is immediately east of the Los Angeles/Orange County metropolitan area.
The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government. Under this governance plan, the elected Mayor and City Council appoints a full -time professional City Manager responsible for the day -to-day administration of City government. The Mayor and City Council represent the legislative branch of the government and are responsible for setting City policy and allocating resources. The City Manager and staff represent the executive branch of the government and are tasked with recommending policy and implementing the Mayor and City Council’s direction. Each City department, office, and agency is administered by an executive appointed by and subject to the direction and supervision of the City Manager, except the Offices of the Council, Mayor, City Attorney and City Clerk, the Library Board of Trustees, and the Water Board, which are administered by their respective executive officers. The City Attorney, City Clerk, and City Manager work directly for the entire City Council and receive direction only from the full body, acting by majority vote, conducted at a publicly noticed meeting.
The City provides a broad range of services, including public safety, water and sewer, infrastructure and highway maintenance, recreational activities, and cultural events. The City contracts with the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District for fire protection and emergency medical aid services. The City is financially accountable for Affordable Housing Solutions of San Bernardino, Inc., the San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing Authority, and the Successor Agency, which was formed to hold the assets of the former E conomic Development Agency. Therefore, these entities are reported within the City’s financial statements. Additional information regarding these legally separate entities can be found in Note 1 in the notes to the financial statements.
The City’s budget, which is adopted annually, serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. Per the City’s Municipal Code, the City Manager is required to prepare and submit the proposed budget to the Mayor and City Council at least sixty days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. The accompanying budget message from the City Manager details the budget in both fiscal terms and describes how the proposed budget relates to the City’s work programs, organizational goals, and community priorities.
Section 3.05.010 of the City’s Municipal Code regarding budget transfers authorizes the following: (a) the Director of Finance & Management Services to approve budget transfers within a department’s personnel budget into their operating budget; (b) authorizes the Director of Finance & Management Services to approve department to department budget transfers; (c) establishes that budget transfers will 290 North D St, San Bernardino, CA 92401 | P: 909-384-7272 | www.SBCity.org | @SBCityGov iii
not increase or decrease a department’s approved budget, nor will it increase or decrease the approved fund budget without council approval; and (d) states that any cumulative amount of more than $5,000 transferred between departments in a 12-month period must be reported to the Mayor and City Council quarterly. The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level.
Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. For the general fund and major governmental funds, this comparison is presented as part of the required supplementary information in the accompanying financial statements. For governmental funds other than the general fund with appropriated annual budgets, this comparison is presented in the supplementary section of the accompanying financial statements.
Economic Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates.
Local economy: The California economy has largely tracked US economic growth in recent years, with these trends persisting in 2025. Job growth continues to grow in the region. The Inland Empire continues to see strong job growth, particularly in the transportation, trade, and utilities sectors. The region’s labor force has grown steadily, and it has been the state’s top job creator for the past four years.
Since its opening in August 2022, the San Bernardino International Airport (SBD) now hosts direct flights to San Francisco, Provo, Utah, Hartford, Connecticut, and Phoenix, Arizona. San Bernardino International Airport encompasses three passenger terminals: a domestic terminal served by Breeze Airways, an international terminal with U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing facility, and the Luxivair SBD executive terminal, an ai rport-owned fixed-base operator. The cargo airport continues to grow including airlines such as FedEx Express, UPS Airlines, Amazon Air and ABX Air. The airport is in the top 25 cargo airports in the United States.
The economy has remained steady in 2025. The growth in logistics, development of large -scale transportation, healthcare, and energy projects, and increases in tourism will be carried into 2026. This will cause demand for more labor as well as investment in capital equipment, software, and real estate. Some new businesses in the City include Our Brew (the first brewery in the City , Tesla Collision Automotive, and several restaurants on the 5
th Street corridor. Overall, the City has between 20,000 and 21,000 businesses in the City.
San Bernardino is a major logistics hub in Southern California, and the logistics and distribution presence in the City drives sales tax receipts from online purchases. With the shift in consumer spending habits due to the pandemic , San Bernardino sales tax collections was relatively flat , as with other citie s in the area.
While consumer spending has shifted back to brick -and-mortar stores to some degree, pre -pandemic trends were indicating that shoppers were moving to online shopping for convenience, and the pandemic merely accelerated the shift. Current trends support that online shopping is likely to continue to grow, and the City anticipates that sales tax receipts will remain consistent with a slight increase over the course of the coming year. Nevertheless, the City maintains conservative long-range forecasts with the assumption that sales tax growth will level off over time as models for logistics and the distribution of goods change.

Residential development market in the region has been consistent, even with the slowdown in home buying driven by higher interest rates. Post-COVID demand and soaring sale prices spurred production increases in 2021-22. Interest rates, which for much of 2024 and 2025 were twice as high as they were in 2021, have reduced demand and builder sentiment to start more housing this year. Despite the modest decline in new construction permitting, new deliveries increased to the highest level since 2018 in the region.
While housing costs have increased over the last several years, San Bernardino County remains among the most affordable in California, with a median home price just above $500,000, however, it can vary depending on the neighborhood.
Strategic Planning: On November 17, 2021, the Mayor and City Council adopted Resolution 2021 -271, establishing key strategic targets and goals for 2021 -2025. These initiatives aim to address pressing city challenges and align resources effectively toward achieving the City's vision.

The adoption of measurable targets and goals establishes direction and priorities which focus on critical actions necessary to achieve the City’s adopted vision, improve resource utilization, reduce redundancy, and allow the City to establish both stability and seek opportunities that meet these objectives.
Strategic Initiatives Alignment with Goals: Addressing Current Challenges The City of San Bernardino’s strategic initiatives for 2023 –2025 were introduced during a Special Workshop on June 30, 2023, and were designed to address operational capacity, community needs, and economic development while remaining aligned with the strat egic goals established under the 2021 –2025 Strategic Framework. These initiatives supported a coordinated approach to addressing service delivery demands, fiscal accountability, and community priorities.
During FY 2024/25, the City continued implementing initiatives aligned with these priorities.
Implementation activities included investment in workforce capacity and position control to support service delivery, alignment of operational structures with strategic objectiv es, continued development of long-range infrastructure and asset management planning, and enhancements to organizational service delivery practices.
290 North D St, San Bernardino, CA 92401 | P: 909-384-7272 | www.SBCity.org | @SBCityGov vi
The City also continued implementation of initiatives launched in FY 2023/24, including the development of the Economic Development Department, the establishment of a Legislative Advocacy function, expansion of homelessness response and housing support programs, and initiatives to improve city cleanliness and public space mainte nance. In addition, the City continued operational scaling associated with regional partnerships for Animal Services, which required additional investment in staffing, facilities, and service capacity consistent with adopted agreements and program needs.
Subsequent to the close of the fiscal year, on December 17, 2025, the Mayor and City Council conducted a Strategic Goal-Setting Retreat to review and update the strategic priorities originally adopted under the 2021–2025 Strategic Framework. This action re affirmed the City’s emphasis on operational capacity, financial sustainability, quality of life, and economic development while refining implementation priorities based on progress achieved through June 30, 2025.
Financial Policies: Fiscal policies establish the framework for managing the City’s financial resources and safeguarding the City’s assets in compliance with relevant regulatory mandates, industry standards, and best practices. Maintaining healthy reserves in the General Fund as well as other Funds, is a critical component of the City’s sound financial management practices.
The City’s General Fund Reserve Policy, adopted by the City Council on November 21, 2016, requires maintaining the General Fund Operating Reserve at 25% of the adopted budget for the fiscal year, consisting of an Emergency Reserve of 15% of the adopted budget and an Economic Contingency Reserve of 10% of the adopted budget.
As of June 30, 202 5, the City’s General Fund committed fund balance sits at $ 133.05 million or approximately 53% of the total General Fund expenditures.

1 Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of San Bernardino, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund info rmation of the City of San Bernardino (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related not es to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental acti vities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principl es generally accepted in the United States of America.
We did not audit the financial statement of the Water Enterprise Fund and the Sewer Enterprise Fund (major funds), which represent the following percentages of assets, net position, and expenses of the following opinion units:
Opinion Unit Assets Net Expenses
Position
Business-type Activities 99.03% 99.46% 99.14%
Major Enterprise Fund:
Water Enterprise
Fund 100.00% 100.00% 100.00%
Sewer Enterprise
Fund 100.00% 100.00% 100.00%
Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Water Enterprise Fund and the Sewer Enterprise Fund, are based solely on the report of the other auditors.
2 Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards).
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Audito r’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 1 to the financial statem ents during the year ended June 30, 2025, the City adopted new accounting guidance under Governm ental Accounting St andards Board (GASB) Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences and No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures. Our opinions are not modified with respect to these matters.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fa ir presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementati on, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statem ents, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, cons idered in the aggregate, t hat raise substantial doubt about City’s ability to continue as a going concern for tw elve months beyond the financia l statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonab le assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conduct ed in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fr om fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, fo rgery, intentional omissions, misr epresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered ma terial if there is a s ubstantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures res ponsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
3 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circum stances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of account ing policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by m anagement, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there ar e conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally a ccepted in the United States of Am erica require that the required supplementary information, such as the management’s discussion and analysis and those schedules as listed in the table of c ontents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibilit y of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Go vernmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporti ng for placing the basic financ ial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with G AAS, 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 proc edures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of form ing opinions on the financ ial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statement s. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlyi ng accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statement s themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opi nion, the accompanying s upplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in t he annual comprehensive financial report. The other information comprises the introduc tory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor's repor t thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not expr ess an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
4 In connection with our audit of t he basic financial statement s, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inco nsistency 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 January 14, 2026 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisi ons of laws, regulations, contra cts, and grant agreements and other matters.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
- 5 -
As management of the City of San Bernardino (City), California, we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20 25.
We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of this report, and with the City’s financial statements, which follow this discussion.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City ’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements consist of three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City ’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources with the difference between the se totals reported as net position.
Over time, changes in the n et position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial posit ion of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information illustrating how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of th e timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods ( e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
The government-wide financial statements present information about the functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities). The governmental activities of the

City include general governmen t, public safety, public works, culture and recreation, community development, and community services.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the Ci ty itself (known as the primary government), but also two legally separate entities: Affordable Housing Solutions of San Bernardino, Inc., and the San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing Authority, for which the City is financi ally accountable. A lthough legally separate, these entities function for all practical purposes as a component of the City, and therefore have been included as an integral part of the primary government. The government -wide financial statements immediately follow this discussion and analysis.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance wi th finance-related legal requirements. All the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near- term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund Balance Sheet and the governmental fund Statement of Revenues, Expen ditures, and C hanges in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains various individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet, and in the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances, for the General Fund, American Rescue Plan Act Fund, and Federal and State Grants Fund, which are considered major funds. Data from other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these other governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic financial statements also include budgetary comparison statements for the General Fund and all governmental funds with a legally adopted budget to demonstrate compliance with the annual budget as adopted (original) and amended (final).
The basic governmental fund financial statements immediately follow the government-wide financial statements.

Proprietary Funds
The City maintains various enterprise funds to report the business-type activities of the Water Fund, Sewer Fund, and Integrated Waste Fund. The City also maintains various internal service funds, which are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its self -insurance activities, vehicle fleet operations, and information technology systems.
Because these services benefit governmental functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the business- type activities within the g overnment- wide financial statements, only in more detail. The internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements immediately follow the basic governmental fund financial statements.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not included in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City ’s programs. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements immediately follow the basic proprietary fund financial statements.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements immediately follow the basic fiduciary fund financial statements.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City ’s annual required contribution to the Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Post Employment Benefit Plan. Required supplementary information immediately follows the notes to the basic financial statements. The combining statements and schedules referred to earlier in connection with other governmental funds and internal service funds for non-major Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and Internal Service Funds immediately follow the required supplementary information.

Government-Wide Financial Analysis
The government-wide financial statements provide long-term and short-term information about the City’s overall financial condition. The table on the following page presents a summarization of the City’s assets, liabilities, deferred inflows, and net position for its governmental and business-type activities, with comparative data from the previous year.
Effective July 1, 2024, the City adopted provisions of GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. As a result of this change in accounting principle, it was not appropriate for the City to restate prior-period information for earlier periods than those presented in the basic financial statements. Therefore, information for the year ended June 30, 2024 was not restated. See Notes 1 and 23 to the financial statements for further information on the change in accounting principle.

Net Position
Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial condition. In the case of the City, as of June 30, 2025, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $611.36 million.
Approximately $640.70 million of the City’s net position reflects its net investment in capital assets ( e.g., land and easements, infrastructure, buildings and improvements, machinery, vehicles, and equipment, water rights, wells, and pumping equipment, distribution and collection systems, and construction in progress; less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets). The City uses these capital assets to provide services to residents; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
A portion of the City’s net position, $148.23 million, represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance is a deficit in unrestricted net position of $( 177.57) million.
This deficit reflects liabilities which exceed assets on hand and is related to the implementation of GASB 68 regarding Pension Plan reporting, GASB 75 regarding OPEB liability reporting, and other long -term liabilities such as obligations for claims and judgments.

Expenses related to the City’s Governmental activities totaled $331.27 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $66.04 million, or 25 percent, from the prior year. The primary causes for the overall increase were:
General Government expenses increased $12.17 million, or 38 percent, from the prior year due primarily to an increase in the City’s general claims liability as a result of the settlement of outstanding claims and an increase in new claims filed during the fiscal year.
Expenses related to public works increased $18.22 million, or 34 percent, from the prior year primarily due to standard project life cycle. In the prior year, many CIP projects were in early planning and design stages with comparatively low spending. In the current year, these projects moved into construction, where costs accelerate due to contractor activity, materials, and related construction expenses.
Expenses related to community development increased $35.84 million, or 256 percent, primarily due to expenditures related to Homekey 3.0 grant funding for the development of the San Bernardino Community Wellness Center.

Revenues related to the City’s Business-Type activities totaled $125.37 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $12.39 million, or 11 percent, from the prior year, primarily due to:
Charges for services, which increased $ 2.79 million from the prior year due to modest increases in consumption in addition to rate increases across all utilities which took effect on July 1, 2024.
Operating and capital grants and contributions, which increased $ 3.54 million and $4.07 million, respectively, from the prior year due to grant receipts from FEMA and other state grants for various projects.

Expenses related to the City’s Business- Type activities totaled $ 96.83 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $11.42 million, or 11 percent, from the prior year. The primary driver of the overall decrease was due to decreased depreciation expense as well as reduced administration and overhead. The Water fund’s claims liabilities significantly decreased from the prior year and the offset to the entry is grouped in General, administration and overhead.

Fund Financial Analysis
As detailed above, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City ’s governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows , and balances of spendable resources. Such information may be useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements.
In particular, assigned and unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of June 30, 20 25, the City’s governmental funds reported total combined ending fund balances of $ 330.60 million, an increase of $4.27 million from the prior year. Approximately 4 0 percent of the City’s governmental funds’ fund balances, or $133.05 million, constitutes committed fund balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion within the guidelines of the funding sources. The remaining fund balance, $ 197.55 million, is either assigned, nonspendable, or restricted for purposes imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, or regulations of other governments or through enabling legislation.
General Fund Financial Highlights
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At June 30, 20 25, committed fund balance of the General Fund was $133.05 million, while total fund balance was $178.52 million. As a measure of the G eneral Fund's liquidity, it is useful to compare committed and assigned fund balance to total fund expenditures.
Committed and assigned fund balance represents 55 percent of the total general fund expenditures. The City Council has designated all the committed fund balances for specified purposes.

The fund balance of the General Fund de creased by $24.41 million during the current fiscal year, primarily due to the flat performance of tax revenue s, due to the volatility of the economy and overall increase in operation expenditures.
General Fund revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20 25, decreased by $2.97 million, or approximately 1 percent, over the prior year. The overall decrease was due to the following factors:
Taxes decreased by $ 1.76 million from the prior year, largely due to sales tax performance remaining relatively flat.
Revenues from license and permits decreased by $ 1.65 million from the prior year, due to reduced plan check fees and subdivision filing fees resulting from reduced construction activity and slower permits approvals compared to the prior year.

Public safety expenditures increased $ 13.81 million, or 12 percent from the prior year as a result of increased personnel and pension costs.
Public works expenditures increased $ 7.79 million, or 24 percent from the prior year as a result of an increase in contracted services for street lighting maintenance and street segment repairs.
Community service expenditures increased $1 2.27 million, or 111 percent from the prior year due to increased activity in the expansion and remodeling of the animal shelter.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The General Fund budget and actual analysis can be found on the following page. During the year, the City’s adopted General Fund revenue and expenditure budgets were amended. The revenues budget increased by $2.63 million and the expenditure budget increased by $54.12 million. Major expenditure budget adjustments included:
$13.06 million in operating carryovers, $ 30.15 million in CIP carryovers, $1.35 million for additional animal services enhancements related to the regional partnership , $2.65 million for street segment repairs, and $6. 91 million for other various city-wide projects related to CIP and Homelessness initiatives a pproved by the City Council.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
- 18 -
Revenues, including other financing sources, were $ 14.05 million lower than budgetary estimates as a result of the following:
Taxes were $12.79 million lower than budget due to sales and use tax, utility user tax, and transient occupancy tax coming in below projections.
License and permit revenues were $2.50 million lower than budget due to a slowdown in development and construction within the city.
Expenditures, including transfers out, were $ 44.07 million lower than budgetary estimates as a result of the following:
Nondepartmental expenditures within general government were $13.10 million higher than budget, primarily due to an increase in the City’s general claims liability as a result of increased claims filed against the City during the fiscal year.
Public safety expenditures were $8.46 million less than budget , a variance of 6 percent, as a result of vehicles and other equipment that was unavailable due to supply chain shortages and other relatively small operational and salary savings.
Public work s expenditures were $23.72 million less than budget, a variance of 37 percent, due to personnel savings from vacant positions, operations and maintenance savings, and also from carry-over amounts budgeted for capital projects and equipment that went unspent in the current year.
Community development was $9.68 million less than budget, a variance of 45 percent, primarily due to salary savings from high-level vacancies.
Community services, which includes Animal S ervices, Library, the violence intervention program, and others were a total of $11.44 million less than budgeted. Animal services variance was principally due to logistical challenges and slower than anticipated delivery of the modular units, the budget for which was rolled over into the next fiscal year. Variances in the Library budget and other services were due primarily to personnel savings from vacant positions as well as savings from professional and contractual services.

Other Major Governmental Fund Financial Highlights
The American Rescue Plan Act Fund is used to account for the various projects and expenditures associated with the American Rescue Plan Act, which was passed by the 117 th United States Congress and signed into law on March 11, 2021. Current year revenues and other financing sources totaled $ 41.93 million and current year expenditures totaled $ 39.21 million. At June 30, 2025 , the fund balance was $ 5.11 million, all of which was restricted for specific purposes based on the stipulations established by the federal government.
The Federal and State Grants Fund is used to account for various grants awarded to the City by Federal, State, and local governments not otherwise accounted for in the General Fund or Capital Projects funds. Current year revenues and other financing sources totaled $53.77 million and current year expenditures totaled $47.13 million, resulting in an increase in fund balance of $6.64 million for the current year. As of June 30, 2025, the fund balance was $26.71 million, all of which was restricted for specific purposes based on the stipulations established by the granting agencies.
Business -Type Funds
As of June 30, 20 25, the City ’s business-type funds reported total combined ending fund balances of $ 377.98 million, an increase of $ 28.53 million from the prior year. Approximately 85 percent of the City ’s proprietary funds’ fund balances, or $319.56 million, represents the funds’ net investment in capital assets.
Major Fund Financial Highlights
The Water Fund is used to account for the provision of water services to the residential, commercial, and industrial segments of the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, financing and related debt service, and billing and collection. As of June 30, 20 25, the net position totaled $ 212.88 million, up from $ 190.56 million in the prior year. This is due to capital grant revenues increasing from the prior year, largely due to FEMA grant monies and other state grants being used for projects as intended. Investment income decreas ed due to poor market performance compared to the prior year. Water operating revenues also reflect a modest increase due to a rate increase effective July 1, 202 4. Total operating expenses decreased 9.5% or $5.1 million. Significant variances were due to decreased depreciation expense as well as reduced administration and overhead. The Water fund claims liability significantly decreased from the prior year and the offset to the entry is grouped in a dmin and overhead.
The Sewer Fund accounts for the provision of sewer treatment of residential, commercial, and industrial segments of the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, financing and related debt service, and billing and collection.
In the current year, the net position increased by $ 5.69 million to $ 163.05 million as of June 30, 202 5. Total revenues for the Sewer Utility declined by 3.8%, or $1.8 million, compared to the previous year. This decrease was mainly because the East Valley Water District began operating its own treatment plant and now processes its own wastewater, whereas pre viously the City handled this treatment. Total operating expenses decreased
12.2% or $6.1 million. Significant variances were due to decreased depreciation expense as well as reduced administration and overhead. The Sewer fund claims liability significantly decreased from the prior year and the offset to the entry is grouped in admin and overhead.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget and Rates
Following several years of post -pandemic recovery and revenue growth, the City is now operating in a more volatile economic environment marked by declining GDP, persistent inflation, and softening consumer activity.
These emerging conditions have tempered the upward revenue trends experienced in recent years and require a more conservative approach to revenue forecasting and expenditure planning for the coming fiscal year.
The City continues to benefit for a revenue foundation, primarily supported by Measure S, Sales and Use Tax, Utility User Tax, and Property Tax in Lieu of VLF. Recent shifts in consumer spending and investment markets have resulted in slower projected grow th in several major revenue categories and as a result, the FY 2025/26 budget reflects refined projections that balance modest revenue gains as well as some anticipated declines in categories showing much greater volatility.
In response to these changing economic conditions, the City has implemented targeted expenditure controls within the budget, including departmental reductions and a hiring deferral for non- safety positions. These measures, combined with strategic use of one-time fund balance strictly for capital and fleet investments, allowed the City to maintain structural balance without relying on one-time resources to fund ongoing operations. Rising labor, benefit, and pension costs continue to place pressure on the ope rating budget, reinforcing the need for prudent and disciplined financial management.
The City’s long -term fiscal position remains stable, supported by strong reserves and a significant Capital Improvement Program reserve that enables continued investment in critical infrastructure. The FY 2025/26 Adopted Budget includes substantial allocations for streets, public facilities, parks, telecommunications upgrades, fleet replacements, and safety-related equipment. Although inflation, supply-chain constraints, and a backlog of deferred maintenance pose challenges, the City’s multi -year capital pl anning approach provides a pathway to address these needs without incurring new debt.
Fitch Ratings Inc., one of the three nationally recognized statistical rating organizations designated by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, and is considered as being one of the “Big Three” credit rating agencies,” along with Moody’s and Standar d and Poor’s, increase the City’s ratings to “A+,” citing the City’s financial resilience which reflects the City’s robust reserve built up in recent years.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
Total Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds 330,600,137$ Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position are different because:
Capital assets net of accumulated depreciation/amortization used in governmental activities are not current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in governmental funds.
323,367,954
Deferred refunding charges are not available resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds (1,530,748)
Deferred outflows on pension related items 73,662,471
Accrued interest payable for the current portion of interest due on various debt issues has not been reported in the governmental funds. (85,854) Long-term liabilities, as listed below, are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported in the governmental funds.
Bonds payable (19,715,000)$
Notes payable (1,268,000)
Lease liabilities (2,285,281)
Subscription liabilities (218,276)
Bond discount 483,140
Net pension liability (443,443,695)
Compensated absences (12,059,103)
(478,506,215)
Some of the City's receivables for operating and capital grant reimbursements will be collected after year end, but are not available soon enough to pay for current-period expenditures, and therefore, are reported as unavailable revenues in the governmental funds.
1,971,693
Internal service funds were used by management to charge the costs of certain activities to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds were included in governmental activities in the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds 4,273,089$ Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Government- Wide Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. In the current year, the City reported the following amounts for capital asset additions and depreciation:
Capital asset additions, including right to use leased assets 41,459,016$ Depreciation/amortization expense, including right to use leased assets (12,103,499) 29,355,517 The issuance of long-term debt (i.e. bonds, leases, notes) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds immediately report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Government-Wide Statement of Activities. The net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items is listed below:
Principal payments on long-term debt 689,000$
Principal payments on lease liabilities 629,564
Principal payments on subscription liabilities 103,766
Increase in subscription liabilities (213,933)
Changes in pension related items (10,763,875)
Change in accrued interest payable 26,033
Amortization of bond premium/discount (22,472)
Amortization of deferred gain/loss on refunding of long-term debt 71,198 (9,480,719) Some revenues and expenses reported in the Government-Wide Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds:
Changes in compensated absences (772,575)
Unavailable revenues were reported as deferred inflows of resources in the Governmental Funds but were reported as revenues in the Government-Wide Statement of Statement of Activities.
1,204,270
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities to individual funds. The net revenue of internal service funds is reported with governmental activities.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of San Bernardino, California (City) have been prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting standards in the United States.
The more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described below.
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated on April 13, 1854, as a Charter City. The City operates under a Council -Manager form of government and provides the following services: public safety (police), highways and streets, health and social services, culture and recreation, public improvements, community development (planning, building and zoning), public utilities (water and sewage), and general administrative services.
Component Units
The financial statements present the City and its component units , entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The City is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the City appoints a voting majority of that organization’s governing body and (1) it is able to impose its will on that organization, or (2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. The City is also considered to be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent (i.e. it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval from the City). In certain cases, other organizations are included as component units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that their exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the City’s operations, and data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. Discretely presented component units, on the other hand, are reported in a separate column in the combined financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the government. Based on the criteria above, the City has two blended component units. The City has no component units that meet the criteria for discrete presentation. The two blended component units are described as follows:
Blended Component Units
Affordable Housing Solutions of San Bernardino, Inc. (AHS)
On December 16, 2009, the Economic Development Agency (EDA) acquired the Global Mobile Home Park Corporation, a not -for-profit corporation (501(c)(3)), from the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pomona for the redevelopment purposes of the EDA as authorized by Resolution 2009 -16 of the Community Development Commission of the City of San Bernardino on May 4, 2009, and approved on May 5, 2009. The Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino serve ex officio as the chairperson and members of the Community Development Commission of the City of San Bernardino, respectively. On September 23, 2009, the Corporation amended its Articles of Incorporation to rename the Corporation the “Affordable Housing Solutions of San Bernardino Inc.” (AHS), which was endorsed and filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of California on October 9, 2009. AHS is not currently active and has no assets.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
A. Financial Reporting Entity (Continued)
Blended Component Units (Continued)
San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing Authority (Authority)
The San Bernardino Joint Powers Financing Authority (Authority) was formed on August 21, 1989, through a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the City and the EDA. After the EDA’s dissolution in fiscal year 2012, its Successor Agency joined the City as a member of the Authority. The Authority’s purpose is to finance redevelopment activities for the City, the EDA, or other California local agencies, including acquiring, constructing, or installing public capital improvements and purchasing public obligations under the Marks -Roos Act. Authorized by the Marks -Roos Act, the Authority may borrow funds to acquire bonds, notes, or other obligations, or make loans to the City, the EDA, or other agencies for redevelopment financing. The Authority is presented as a blended component unit within the City’s financial statements, as the Authority is governed by a board composed of the City’s elected officials who possess operational responsibility for the Authority and the Authority’s total debt outstanding, including leases, is expected to be repaid entirely with the resources of the primary government. The Authority does not issue separate financial statements.
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements , consisting of the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City and its component units.
Interfund activity has been removed from these statements except for utility charges, as this would distort the presentation of function costs and program revenues. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The Statement of N et Position presents financial information on all of the City’s assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of given functions or segments are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are expenses that are clearly identifiable with a specific program, project, function or segment. Program revenues of the City include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items that are not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.
The government-wide, proprietary, custodial fund, and private -purpose trust fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting . Under the economic resources measurement focus, all assets (current and long-term), deferred outflows of resources, liabilities (current and long-term), and deferred inflows of resources are reported. Under the accrual basis of accounting , revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied on the property. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the providers have been met.
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will generally report a separate section for deferred outflows of recourses, which represent a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities , the statement of net position will generally report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources, which represent an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
During the course of operations, the government has activity between funds for various purposes. Any residual balances outstanding at year -end are reported as due from/to other funds and advances to/from other funds. While these balances are reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government -wide financial statements. Balances between the funds included in governmental activities (i.e. the governmental and internal service funds) are eliminated so only the net amount is included as internal balances in the governmental activities column . B alances between the governmental activities and the business -type activities are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the total primary government column.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between funds. In fund financial statements, these amounts are reported at gross amounts as transfers in/out. While reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government -wide financial statements. Transfers between the funds included in governmental activities are eliminated so only the net amount is included as transfers in the governmental activities column. Transfers between governmental activities and the business-type activities are eliminated in the total primary government column.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting . Under the current financial resources measurement focus , generally only current assets and current liabilities are reported in the governmental funds.
Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered available when they are collected within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Reimbursements under state and federal grants are accrued if received within 180 days of the end of the fiscal period t o enable the matching of revenue with applicable expenditures. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, under accrual accounting. However, expenditures for debt service and compensated absences are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
Proceeds of general long-term liabilities are reported as other financing sources.
Property taxes, special assessments, sales taxes, franchise taxes, transient occupancy taxes, gas taxes, vehicle license fees, charges for services, amounts due from other governments , and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual. Other revenue items such as fines and permits are considered to be measurable and available only when the government receives cash and are therefore not susceptible to accrual.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – This is the primary operating fund of the City. It accounts for all activities of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
American Rescue Plan Act Fund – This fund is used to account for the various projects and expenditures associated with the American Rescue Plan Act, which was passed by the 117 th United States Congress and signed into law on March 11, 2021. Under the provisions of the Act, the City was awarded approximately $77.65 million distributed in two payments in May 2021 and May 2022.
Federal and State Grants Fund – This fund is used to report various grants awarded to the City by Federal, State, and local governments not otherwise accounted for in the General Fund or Capital Projects funds. A detailed report by program is available under a separate report meeting the criteria of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, for all federal grants received by the City.

The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
Water Fund – This fund is used to account for the provision of water services to the residential, commercial, and industrial segments of the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, financing and related debt service, and billing and collection.
Sewer Fund – This fund is used to account for the provision of wastewater treatment and collection to residential, commercial , and industrial segments of the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, financing and related debt service, and billing and collection.
Additionally, the government reports the following fund types:
Governmental Funds
Special Revenue Funds account for proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted o r otherwise committed or assigned for specific purposes.
Debt Service Funds account for the accumulation of resources and payment of long -term liabilities of the City and related entities.
Capital Projects Funds account for financial resources used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities and circulation infrastructure.
Proprietary Funds
Internal Service Funds account for operations that provide services to other departments of the City on a cost reimbursement basis. These services include workers’ compensation, liability insurance, replacement and maintenance of the City’s vehicle fleet, and information technology systems.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non- operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund ’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City ’s enterprise and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services.
Operating expenses fo r enterprise and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.

Fiduciary Funds
The Community Facilities District Custodial Fund accounts for the various assessment districts for which the City acts as an agent for debt service activity, as the City is prohibited from levying additional taxes for these districts.
The Successor Agency to the Economic Development Agency of San Bernardino Private-Purpose Trust Fund accounts for the assets and liabilities of the former Economic Development Agency and is allocated revenue to pay estimated installment payments of enforceable obligations until obligations are paid in full and assets have been liquidated.
D. Cash, Cash Equivalents, Fiscal Agent Cash, and Investments
The City values its cash and investments in accordance with the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 72 (GASB 72), Fair Value Measurement and Application , which requires governmental entities to use valuation techniques that are appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value. The techniques should be consistent with one or more of the following approaches: the market approach, the cost approach, or the income approach.
Cash accounts of all funds are pooled for investment purposes to enhance safety and liquidity while maximizing interest earnings. Investments are stated at fair value except for investments in investment contracts which are recorded at contract value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange rates or fair market value when market quotations are readily available.
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short -term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year, and may result in negative investment income in the accompanying financial statements. Investment income is allocated to the various funds based on each fund’s average month-end cash balance and includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.
Fiscal agent cash consists of resources held by external fiscal agents on behalf of the government for the payment of debt service, construction project expenditures, or other legally restricted purposes. These amounts are maintained in separate accounts outside the government’s treasury and are not available for general governmental operations. Fiscal agent cash is reported as an asset of the fund or governmental activity to which the restricted resources relate. Earnings on these accounts accrue to the benefiting fund unless otherwise restricted by bond covenants or contractual agreements.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents, include amounts on deposit in the City pool and any short -term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

E. Restricted Assets
Amounts reported as restricted assets in the enterprise funds have been restricted by bond indentures or are to be used for specified purposes based on contract provisions, such as bonded debt service.
F. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e. the current portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business -type activities are reported in the Governmental -Wide Financial Statements as “internal balances.”
G. Notes Receivable
Long-term notes receivable consist of loans to developers to assist in the stimulation of affordable housing projects, rehabilitation loans to low income individuals that need assistance in rehabilitating their homes, and first time buyers assistance loans. Loan repayment terms range from due at the sal e of the property to 60 years. A majority of the loans to the developers will be paid from residual rental receipts earned on the affordable housing property. Due to the long-term nature and contingent repayment requirements for some of the loans, an allowance for doubtful accounts has been estimated, however, actual results can differ from the estimates. In the governmental funds financial statements, disbursements for providing these revolving loan receivables are recorded as expenditures while the collection of these receivables are recorded as revenue. Due to the requirement of the granting agency, these receivable collections must be utilized for the purpose of the grant requirements. For further details, see Note 3 below.
H. Inventory
Inventories are valued on the average cost method , which approximates a first -in, first-out (FIFO) basis .
Inventory balances represent expendable supplies held for consumption. Inventory is reported under the consumption method whereby expenditures are reported at the time inventory is used. Inventory is reported in governmental funds at cost and is offset with nonspendable fund balance to show that inventories do not constitute available spendable resources.
I. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors for costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorde d as prepaid items in both government -wide and fund financial statements using the consumption method. Prepaid items are reported as a nonspendable component of fund balance to indicate that they are not spendable for appropriation and are not expendable financial resources.

J. Property Held for Resale
Property held for resale represents land, structures, and related improvements that were acquired for resale as part of the City’s redevelopment and grant activities. Property held for resale is accounted for is recorded at lower of cost or net realizable value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Property held for resale, which is not available for current expenditure, is reported in the governmental funds balance sheet as restricted fund balance when proceeds from the sale must be used for restricted purposes or as nonspendable fund balance when such proceeds are not restricted.
K. Leases
Lessee
The City has a policy to recognize a lease liability and a right ‐to‐use lease asset (lease asset) in the government‐wide financial statements. The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $50,000 or more.
At the commencement of a lease, the City 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.
Lease assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities and modified by any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term, less any lease incentives received from the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term along with any initial direct costs that are ancillary charges necessary to place the lease assets into service. Lease assets are amortized using the straight -line method over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, unless the lease contains a purchase option that the City has determined is reasonably certain of being exercised. In this case, the lease asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments.
The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure any lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability. Lease assets are reported as right to use along with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the Statement of Net Position.

K. Leases (Continued)
Lessor
The City is a lessor for leases of office and commercial space and land. The City recognizes leases receivable and deferred inflows of resources in the financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City 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 inflows of resources are initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflows of resources are recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term in a systematic and rational method.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts.
The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.
L. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, buildings and improvements, machinery, vehicles, equipment (including furniture) and infrastructure assets, are reported in the applicable activity columns in the accompanying government-wide statement of net position and the proprietary funds statement of net position. Capital assets are defined by the government as land, buildings and improvements, machinery, vehicles, or equipment assets with an initial individual cost of more than $5,000 and a useful life of at least three years.
Infrastructure assets, consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, including pavement, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, traffic control devices, streetlights, and right -of-way corridors within the City , are capitalized if the initial individual cost exceeds $200,000. Capital assets are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets , donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received pursuant to a service concession arrangement are recorded at their acquisition value at the date of the contribution. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Capital o utlays are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and as assets in the government -wide financial statements to the extent the City’s capitalization thresholds are met. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as construction in progress as projects are constructed.

L. Capital Assets (Continued)
With the exception of land, capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight -line method in the government -wide financial statements and in the financial statements of the proprietary funds. Depreciation is charged as an expense against operations and accumulated depreciation is reported on the respective statement of net position. The City has elected to use the Basic Approach for reporting its infrastructure systems.
The ranges of lives used for depreciation purposes for each capital asset class are:
Years
Buildings and improvements 10 – 40
Infrastructure 20 – 50
Wells, pumping plants, reservoirs, and distribution system 8 – 50 Interceptor lines 50
Disposal plant 35 – 50
Leasehold improvements 5 – 25
Shops, offices, stores, and yards 10 – 20
Tools and equipment 4 – 20
Office equipment 5 – 20
Communication equipment 7 – 10
Computer equipment 5 – 10
Automotive equipment 3 – 8
M. Compensated Absences
Employees of the City earn vacation leave, sick leave, and other compensatory leave benefits based on length of service and position. Under GASB Statement No. 101, the City recognizes a liability for compensated absences when earned and attributable to services already rendered, and when it is probable that the employer will compensate employees for those benefits through paid time off or cash payments.
The liability includes salary -related payments and is measured using the pay rates in effect at the financial statement date. The City’s policy permits employees to accumulate unused vacation and sick leave up to specified limits. Upon separation from service, employees are paid for accumulated vacation and, in certain cases, sick leave.
The City uses a first‑in, first‑out (FIFO) flow assumption in determining which accumulated leave hours are expected to be used or paid. Under this methodology, the earliest earned leave is deemed to be used first when estimating the compensated absences liability.

N. Long-Term Debt
For the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business -type activities, or proprietary fun type statements of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
O. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements
The City is a subscriber for non- cancellable subscription-based information technology arrangements. The City recognizes subscription liabilities and intangible right -to-use subscription assets (subscription assets) in the government wide financial statements . The city recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial individual value of $50,000 or more.
The subscription assets are recognized at the subscription commencement date and represent the City’s right to use the underlying IT asset for the subscription term. Subscription assets are measured at the initial value of the subscription liability plus any payments made to the vendor at the commencement of the subscription term, less any subscription incentives received from the vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term, plus any capitalizable initial implementation costs necessary to place the subscription asset into service. Subscription assets are amortized over the shorter of the subscription term or useful life of the underlying asset using the straight-line method.
Subscription liabilities represent the City’s obligation to make subscription payments arising from the subscription contract. Subscription liabilities are recognized at the subscription commencement date based on the present value of future subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term.
The present value of subscription payments are discounted based on a borrowing rate determined by the City.
P. Claims and Judgments Payable
Claims and judgments payable are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Such claims, including an estimate for claims incurred but not reported at year end, are recorded as liabilities in the general liability and workers’ compensation internal service funds. As of June 30, 202 5, the City had an obligation related to claims and judgments which is reflected as a liability on the government-wide statements and is more fully described in Note 12.

Q. Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflow of resources and deferred inflow of resources related to pensions and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans, and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans (see Note 13). For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The General Fund and Internal Service Funds are typically used to liquidate the pension liability related to the City ’s governmental activities while the pension liability for Business-type activities is liquidated from the Enterprise Funds.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68 requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
R. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability /(asset), deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s plan (OPEB Plan) and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments are reported at fair value. The Enterprise Funds are used to liquidate the OPEB liability/(asset).
GASB Statement No. 75 requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
S. Fund Balances
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund balance is made up of the following components:
Nonspendable Fund Balance includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not spendable in physical form (such as inventory) or that are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact (such as endowments).
Restricted Fund Balance includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or through enabling legislations.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
S. Fund Balances (Continued)
Committed Fund Balance includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes due to formal action of the Mayor and City Council through adoption of a resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by resolution remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another resolution) to remove or revise the limitation.
On November 21, 2018, t he Mayor and City Council adopted the General Fund Reserve Policy, setting a 1 5% minimum in the Emergency Reserve and 10% in the Economic Contingency Reserve. The Emergency Reserve was established for the purpose of addressing any extremely unusual and infrequent occurrences, such as a major natural disaster or a major unforeseen settlement or judgment. Utilization of the Emergency Reserve may only occur after the declaration of an emergency by a majority of the City Council. The Economic Contingency Reserve was established for the purpose of providing a mechanism to allow for a measured and thoughtful reduction in expenditures during times of economic downturn. Utilization of the Economic Contingency Reserve requires approval by a majority of the City Council. The reserves committed at June 30, 202 5 were calculated utilizing the fiscal year 2025 -2026 adopted General Fund expenditure budget of $257,521,745.
On October 7, 2020, t he Mayor and City Council adopted the Measure S Expenditure Policy , committing proceeds from the Measure S transaction and use tax effective April 1, 2021 to be used in accordance with the Measure S ballot languag e, the City’s adopted Key Strategic Targets and Goals, and the General Fund Reserve Policy . As part of the annual budget process, the proposed Measure S spending plan is reviewed by the Measure S Citizens Oversight Committee as well as the Mayor and City Council. Utilization of Measure S funds requires approval by a majority of the City Council via the budget adoption and amendment process. The amount committed at June 30, 2025 totaled $68,347,293.
Assigned Fund Balance includes amounts that are constrained by an intent to be used for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. Through the Mayor and City Council ’s adoption of the budget and subsequent budget adjustments throughout the year, the City assigns the specific purpose of the funding.
Unassigned Fund Balance is the residual classification that includes all spendable amounts in the General Fund not contained in other classifications. In other governmental funds, the unassigned classification reports a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed or assigned.
The City considers restricted fund balances to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for the purposes for which both unrestricted and restricted fund balance is available. The City considers unrestricted fund balances to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for the purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted classifications of fund balance could be used. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned or unassigned) fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to apply restricted first. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned or unassigned fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to apply committed fund balance first, then assigned fund balance, and finally, unassigned fund balance.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
T. Net Position
In the governmental -wide financial statement and proprietary fund financial statements, net positions are classified as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt attributed to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of the assets.
Restricted Net Position is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments.
Unrestricted Net Position is all resources that do not meet the definition of “net investment in capital assets” or “restricted net position.”
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, the City’s policy is to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
U. Property Taxes
Under California law, general property taxes are assessed for up to 1% of the property’s assessed value.
General property taxes are collected by the counties along with other special district taxes and assessments and voter-approved debt. General property tax revenues are collected and pooled by the County throughout the fiscal year and then allocated and paid to the County, cities, and school districts based on complex formulas prescribed by State statutes.
Property taxes are calculated on assessed values as of January 1 for the ensuing fiscal year. On January 1 of the fiscal year the levy is placed and a lien is attached to the property. Property taxes are due in two installments. The first installment is due November 1 and is delinquent after December 10. The second installment is due February 1 and is delinquent after April 10. The City generally accrues only those taxes which are received within sixty days after the year-end.
On June 30, 2016, the City transferred assets and liabilities comprising its fire service operations to the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) for the purpose of regionalization of fire services. As a result of the transfer, the City is required to transfer annual revenues from property taxes and 35 percent of its annual property tax in lieu of Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenue to SBCFPD. Beginning July 1, 2017, the County’s VLF portion was reduced to 26.5 percent.
V. Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenues arise when the government receives resources before it has a legal claim to them, as when grant monies are received prior to meeting all eligibility requirements. In subsequent periods, when both revenue recognition criteria are met, or when the government has a legal claim to the resources, revenue is recognized.

W. Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources
When applicable, the statement of net position and the balance sheet will report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent outflows of resources (consumption of net assets ) that apply to future periods and that, therefore will not be recognized as an expense or expenditure until that time.
Conversely, deferred inflows of resources represent inflows of resources (acquisition of net assets ) that apply to future periods and that, therefore, are not recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
X. Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Specifically, the City has made certain estimates and assumptions related to the collectability of its receivables ( i.e. accounts receivable, intergovernmental receivables, and notes receivable), the depreciation of its capital assets and infrastructure networks, and the ultimate outcome of claims and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Y. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncements
The requirements of the following accounting standards are effective for the purpose of implementation, if applicable to the city, for the year ended June 30, 202 5. The financial statements included herein apply the requirements and provisions of these statements, including necessary retroactive adjustments to financial statement classifications and presentations.
In June 2022, GASB issued Statement No. 10 1, Compensated Absences (GASB 10 1). This Statement establishes a unified model for recognizing and measuring liabilities for compensated absences, such as vacation, sick leave, and other forms of paid leave. Under GASB 101, liabilities for compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not been used and (2) leave that has been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means. A liability should be recognized for leave that has not been used if (a) the leave is attributable to services already rendered, (b) the leave accumulates, and (c) the leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means. The implementation of GASB 101 resulted in a restatement of beginning net position as disclosed in Note 23.
In December 2023, GASB issued Statement No. 10 2, Certain Risk Disclosures (GASB 102). This Statement requires disclosure of vulnerabilities to risks arising from certain concentrations or constraints that could substantially impact the government’s ability to acquire resources or control spending.
A concentration is defined as a lack of diversity related to a significant inflow or outflow of resources (for example, reliance on a single major employer or industry). A constraint is a limitation imposed by an external party or by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision -making authority (such as voter-approved tax caps or debt limits).

Y. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncements (Continued)
Under GASB 102, disclosure is required only if all of the following criteria are met:
1. The concentration or constraint is known prior to issuance of the financial statements
2. It makes the government vulnerable to the risk of a substantial impact
3. An event associated with the concentration or constraint has occurred, begun to occur, or is more likely than not to occur within 12 months of the financial statement issuance date
For the current fiscal year, management evaluated potential concentrations and constraints and determined that no circumstances met all disclosure criteria; therefore, no additional note disclosure was required. The City will continue to monitor concentrations and constraints and will provide disclosures in future periods if the criteria are met.

Note 2 – Cash and Investments (Continued)
C. Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
The City monitors the interest rate
risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The City has no specific limitations with respect to this metric.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity:

Note 2 – Cash and Investments (Continued)
D. Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating (where applicable) required by the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year -end for each investment type.
E. Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated in the Government Code. As of June 30, 2025, the City did not have investments in any one issuer that represent 5 percent or more of total City investments.
F. 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 (i.e. broker -dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party.

Note 2 – Cash and Investments (Continued)
F. Custodial Credit Risk (Continued)
The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110 percent of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150 percent of the secured public deposits. At June 30, 2025, the City’s deposits (bank balances) were collateralized under California Law.
G. Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California.
The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro- rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
H. Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the relative inputs used to measure the fair value of the investments. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements), inputs are quoted price of similar assets in active markets (Level 2 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The City has the following fair value measurements for its investments as of June 30, 2025:
Investments measured by fair value level: June 30, 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Non-U.S. government and supranational bonds 7,544,556$ -$ 7,544,556$ -$ Federal agency securities 45,315,000 - 45,315,000 - U.S. Treasury obligations 40,704,093 12,750,401 27,953,692 - Medium-term corporate notes 30,276,018 - 30,276,018 - Asset backed securities 7,583,161 - 7,583,161 - Total investments by fair value level 131,422,828$ 12,750,401$ 118,672,427$ -$ Investments not subject to the fair value hierarchy:

Note 2 – Cash and Investments (Continued)
H. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Debt and equity securities classified in Level 1 are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. Debt and equity securities classified in Level 2 are valued using the following approaches:
U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, Non -U.S. supranational bonds, and Commercial Paper – quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active
Medium term notes – quoted prices for similar securities in active markets
Asset-backed securities – recent appraisals of the asset value.
Note 3 – Notes Receivable
The City uses funds generated from the former EDA as well as state and federal funding sources to offer financial assistance to qualified developers, individuals, and families primarily for housing development, rehabilitation, and economic development. Repayment terms on these loans can be classified in the following categories: 1) Deferred loans which are due and payable only upon sale or transfer of title to the property; 2) Amortizing loans which have a set monthly payment, which may be interest bearing or principal only; 3) Forgivable loans which may convert to grants depending on the terms of the loan agreements; 4) Residual receipts loans which require repayments only when the properties have positive cash flows pursuant to a formula set forth in the loan agreement; and 5) Term loans which require payment in full on the maturity date of the loans.
In the financial statements, notes receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. In estimating the allowance, management considered the following factors: 1) composition of the loan portfolio; 2) past write -off experience; 3) past market valuation; and 4) life -to-date interest and principal payments, if applicable. The allowance estimate is continually evaluated and adjusted to reflect what management believes to be the net realizable value of the total loan portfolio. At June 30, 202 5, notes receivable consisted of the following:

Note 7 – Long-Term Liabilities
A. Governmental Activities
The following is a summary of changes in long-term liabilities for governmental activities for the year ended June 30, 2025:
2020 Pension Obligation Bonds
On July 23, 2020, the City issued $19,850,000 in Taxable Pension Obligation Bonds (the “Series 2020 Bonds”) to refund on a current basis the notes payable previously held by AMBAC and Preston Hollow Capital. The bonds are payable from the unrestricted revenues of the General Fund. In the event of default, the principal due on the Bonds is subject to acceleration. The bonds consist of serial bonds maturing from 2021 through 20 46 in annual installments of $ 15,000 to $ 2,355,000. Interest is due and payable semi - annually at 6.75%. The aggregate debt service payments of the new debt are $308,150 less than the old debt.
The issuance of the new debt and the refunding of the old debt resulted in an economic gain (the difference between the net present value of the old debt and new debt services payments) of approximately $228,777.

HUD Section 108 – Arden Guthrie Focused Neighborhood Revitalization Project Note Payable (Direct Borrowing)
The City of San Bernardino entered into a Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance, a Master Fiscal Agency Agreement, and executed a promissory note with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (Section 108 Loan). The proceeds of the loan were then loaned to the EDA to be used for the Arden-Guthrie Focused Neighborhood Revitalization Project, which affects approximately 20 acres of land located at the northwest corner of Arden Avenue and 20th Street (Arden -Guthrie Site). Once the Arden - Guthrie Site is sold to a third- party, the proceeds of the sale are required to be paid to the City. All debt service payments on the Section 108 Loan are the responsibility of the City. The source of funds available for the repayment of the Loan is the CDBG Program Revenue of the City. In the event of default, the City’s annual CDBG allocation may be reduced by the amount necessary to satisfy the annual debt service requirement.

Benefits Provided (Continued)
CalPERS California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) members become eligible for service retirement upon attainment of age 62 with at least 5 years of service. The service retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to the product of the benefit factor, years of service, and final compensation. The final compensation is the monthly average of the member's highest 36 or 12 consecutive months' fulltime equivalent monthly pay. Retirement benefits for classic miscellaneous employees are calculated as 2% to
2.7% of the average final 12 months compensation. Retirement benefits for PEPRA miscellaneous employees are calculated as 2% of the average final 36 months compensation. Retirement benefits for classic safety employees are calculated as 3% of the average final 12 months compensation. Retirement benefits for PEPRA safety employees are calculated as 2.7% of the average final 36 months compensation.
Participant is eligible for nonindustrial disability retirement if becomes disabled and has at least 5 years of credited service. There is no special age requirement. The standard nonindustrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8% of final compensation, multiplied by service.
Industrial disability benefits are not offered to miscellaneous employees. The City provides industrial disability retirement benefit to safety employees. The industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 50% of final compensation.
An employee’s beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee dies while actively employed.
The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee ’s survivor who is eligible for any other pre -retirement death benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5% per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six months ’ salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death.
Upon the death of a retiree, a one -time lump sum payment of $500 will be made to the retiree ’s designated survivor(s), or to the retiree’s estate.
Benefit terms provide for annual cost -of-living adjustments to each employee’s retirement allowance.
Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis by 2%.

In determining the long -term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account, both short -term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Such cash flows were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building -block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short -term and long -term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.

The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90% for the plan. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets. Therefore, the current 6.90% discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary.
The long term expected discount rate of 6.90 % is applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called “GASB Crossover Testing Report” that can be obtained from the CalPERS website under the GASB 68 Section.

Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
For the year ended June 30, 202 5, the City recognized pension expense in the amounts of $ 25,838,009 and $44,336,618, for the miscellaneous and safety plans, respectively.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized over 5 -years straight line. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.
The Expected Average Remaining Service Lifetime (“EARSL”) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired) in the risk pool. The EARSL for the Miscellaneous Plan for the 2023-24 measurement period is 2.3 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 8,078 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 3,458 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired). The EARSL for the Safety Plan for the 2023-24 measurement period is 2. 7 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 3,474 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 1, 273 (the total number of participants:

Plan Description
The Successor Agency Plan of the City of San Bernardino is available to full time employees employed by the Successor Agency to the San Bernardino Economic Development Agency. Part -time employees must meet specific criteria for participation. The Classic Plans are closed to new entrants. Benefit Provisions under the Plans are established by State statutes within the Public Employee’s Retirement Law. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website. Copies of the CalPERS annual financial report may be obtained from the CalPERS Executive Office – 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost -of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. A classic safety and miscellaneous CalPERS member becomes eligible for Service Retirement upon attainment of age 50 and 55, respectively, with at least 5 years of credited service. The service retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to the product of the benefit factor, years of service, and final compensation. The final compensation is the monthly average of the member's highest 12 full -time equivalent monthly pay. Retirement benefits for classic safety and miscellaneous employees are calculated as 3% and 2.7%, respectively, of the average final 12 months compensation.

Participant is eligible for non -industrial disability retirement if he becomes disabled and has at least 5 years of credited service. There is no special age requirement. The standard non -industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8% of final compensation, multiplied by service. Industrial disability benefits are not offered to miscellaneous employees.
An employee’s beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee dies while actively employed.
The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee ’s survivor who is eligible for any other pre -retirement death benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5% per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six months ’ salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death.
Upon the death of a retiree, a one -time lump sum payment of $500 will be made to the retiree ’s designated survivor(s), or to the retiree’s estate.
Benefit terms provide for annual cost -of-living adjustments to each employee’s retirement allowance.
Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis by 2%.

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through the CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. For public agency cost -sharing plans covered by the Miscellaneous risk pools, the Plan’s actuarially determined rate is based on the estimated amount necessary to pay the Plan’s allocated share of the risk pool’s costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the measurement period ended June 30, 2024 (the measurement date), the active employee and employer contribution rate was 0.00% , as there were no longer any active employees of the Successor Agency.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, employer contributions made for the Successor Agency Miscellaneous Cost-sharing Plan were $855,121.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 20 24, and the total pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long -term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined.
As of measurement date June 30, 2024, the City reported net pension liability for its proportionate shares of the net pension liability of the Successor Agency Miscellaneous Plan as follows:

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions (Continued)
The following is the approach established by the plan actuary to allocate the net pension liability and pension expense to the individual employers within the risk pool.
(1) In determining a cost -sharing plan’s proportionate share, total amounts of liabilities and assets are first calculated for the risk pool as a whole on the valuation date (June 30, 20 23). The risk pool’s fiduciary net position (“FNP”) subtracted from its total pension liability (“TPL”) determines the net pension liability (“NPL”) at the valuation date.
(2) Using standard actuarial roll forward methods, the risk pool TPL is then computed at the measurement date (June 30, 20 24). Risk pool FNP at the measurement date is then subtracted from this number to compute the NPL for the risk pool at the measurement date. For purposes of FNP in this step and any later reference thereto, the risk pool’s FNP at the measurement date denotes the aggregate risk pool’s FNP at June 30, 20 23 less the sum of all additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by all employers during the measurement period (2023-24).
(3) The individual plan’s TPL, FNP and NPL are also calculated at the valuation date.
(4) Two ratios are created by dividing the plan’s individual TPL and FNP as of the valuation date from (3) by the amounts in step (1), the risk pool’s total TPL and FNP, respectively.
(5) The plan’s TPL as of the Measurement Date is equal to the risk pool TPL generated in (2) multiplied by the TPL ratio generated in (4). The plan’s FNP as of the Measurement Date is equal to the FNP generated in (2) multiplied by the FNP ratio generated in (4) plus any additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by the employer on behalf of the plan during the measurement period.
(6) The plan’s NPL at the Measurement Date is the difference between the TPL and FNP calculated in (5).
The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for the Successor Agency Miscellaneous Plan as of June 30, 2023 and 2024 was as follows:
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City recognized pension expense in the amount of $1,029,961 for the Successor Agency Miscellaneous Plan.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions (Continued)
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized over 5 -years straight line. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.
The EARSL for PERF C for the measurement date ending June 30, 20 24 is 3.8 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 630,177 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 166,163 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired) in PERF C. Inactive employees and retirees have remaining service lifetimes equal to 0. Total future service is based on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event other than receiving a cash refund.
At June 30, 2025, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:
For the Successor Agency Miscellaneous Plan, $ 855,121 was reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions resulting from City’s contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90 %. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets. Therefore, the current 6.90% discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary.
The long term expected discount rate of 6.90 % is applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called “GASB Crossover Testing Report” that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under the GASB 68 section.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building -block method in which best -estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, staff took into account both short -term and long -term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Such cash flows were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short -term (first 10 years) and the long -term (11-60 years) using a building block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short -term and long -term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.
The table below reflects long -term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation.
These geometric rates of return are net of administrative expenses.

The City administers a single employer defined benefit healthcare plan (the Plan). The Plan provides healthcare and life insurance for eligible retirees and their surviving spouses through the City’s group health insurance plan. Life insurance premiums are paid 100% by retirees. The plan covers both active and retired members. Benefit provisions are established through negotiations between the City and various union bargaining groups.
However, on August 1, 2012, the City filed a Chapter 9 petition for bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court. A Retiree Committee was appointed by the United States Trustee to represent the interests of the retired employees.

On May 19, 2015, the City and the Retiree Committee reached an agreement to settle claims of retirees for lost health benefits. Pursuant to this settlement all retiree health benefits for employees hired after January 1, 2013 are eliminated. At June 30, 2017, a finite group of retirees, numbering fewer than sixteen and meeting specific criteria, continue to receive a subsidy of $116 per month with an annual increase capped at two percent per calendar year. These participants are placed in a City healthcare plan for Retirees only.
This is a closed group and its beneficiaries are a declining number, gradually being removed from the limited ongoing benefit as they either pass away or become ineligible for other potential reasons.
The settlement is part of the City’s Chapter 9 Plan of Adjustment effective June 15, 2017. As a result of this settlement, the City’s OPEB obligation of $29,753,601 has been reduced to zero as the City has eliminated post-employment benefits.

Contributions
The contribution requirements of plan members and the Department are established and may be amended by the Board. The required contribution is based on projected pay -as-you-go financing requirements, with an additional amount to prefund benefits as may be determined annually by the Board. The Department has established an irrevocable trust to which pre -funding contributions are made. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Department’s contributions were $ 1,948,530, and the amount of contributions in the form of an implied subsidy were $668,652.
Net OPEB Liability
The Department’s net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2024 and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2023 that was rolled forward to determine the June 30, 20 24 total OPEB liability, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.75%
Inflation 2.50%
Mortality Rate CalPERS 2021 Experience Study
Healthcare Trend Rate Non-Medicare – 8.6% for 202 5, decreasing to an ultimate rate of 3.9% in 2076 and later.
Medicare – 6.3% for 2025, decreasing to an ultimate
rate of 3.9% in 2076 and later.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building -block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.
The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6. 75 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that 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 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.
Changes in the Net OPEB Liability

Recognition of Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources
Gains and losses related to changes in the total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time.
Amounts are first recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense.
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 recognized over five years, while all other deferred outflows and inflows are amortized over the average expected remaining service life of plan participants.

C. Successor Agency
The Successor Agency (Agency) administers a single employer defined benefit healthcare plan (the Plan).
The Agency provides medical and dental plan coverage for retirees and their eligible surviving dependents.
At June 30, 2025, a finite group of retirees and surviving spouses numbering fewer than eleven receive a subsidy of $128 per month. Because this is a closed plan with de minimis liability impact, the Successor Agency’s OPEB obligation of $1,583,335 has been reduced to zero and the minor annual costs are being reported on a pay as you go basis.

B. Deficit Fund Balances/Net Position
At June 30, 2025 , the Governmental Activities Statement of Net Position had an unrestricted net position deficit of $(229,586,215).
At June 30, 2025, the following proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds have deficits that are anticipated to be funded from future grants, other revenues and operating transfers:
As of June 30, 202 5, the General Fund does not have the financial capacity to fund such accumulated deficits. Therefore, management expects that funding for the accumulated deficits will be accomplished over a period of years. The accumulated deficits of the Workers’ Compensation Internal Service Fund and the Liability Insurance Internal Service Fund are due to higher claims experienced over a period of years, versus amounts charged to the various departments. Both these funds operate on a pay-as-you-go basis; as such the deficits in these funds are expected to change as claims are made. Management has paid and expects to pay for all accepted claims as and when they become due.

Note 18 – Landfill Closure Liability
The City operated a municipal non -hazardous solid waste facility, identified as the “Waterman Landfill,” from 1950 to 1960. The City is the primary responsible party for pollution remediation obligations related to the Waterman Landfill. During the 1990s, groundwater monitoring wells were installed and placed into service as part of the overall remediation plan. In 2004, it was determined that additional work was required to comply with state regulations. State regulatory agencies approved a plan for final closure of the Waterman Landfill in 2012. The City is currently in the operations maintenance and monitoring phase of the remediation project. Pollution remediation costs for the closure of the Waterman Landfill are estimated at $ 3,364,034 at June 30, 2025 , measured using the expected cash flow technique.
This estimate is subject to change in future periods due to various factors including changes in the remediation plan or operating conditions, the type of equipment and services that will be used, price increases or reductions for specific outlay elements such as ongoing monitoring requirements, changes in technology, or changes in legal or regulatory requirements. The liability is reported in the Integrated Waste Fund in the accompanying financial statements.
Note 19 – Successor Agency Trust for Assets of Former Redevelopment Agency

Note 19 – Successor Agency Trust for Assets of Former Redevelopment Agency (Continued)
The Bill provided that upon dissolution of the redevelopment agency, either the City or another unit of local government may serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets of the dissolved redevelopment agency until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. On January 9, 2012, the City Council adopted resolution 2012 -19, electing to serve as the Successor Agency to the former Economic Development Agency of the City of San Bernardino in accordance with the Bill. Upon redevelopment dissolution, activities of the dissolved redevelopment agency are reported in a fiduciary fund (private purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City.
The Successor Agency is allocated revenue only in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated payments on existing enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations are paid in full and all assets are liquidated. These obligations are listing on a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) bi annually and are subject to the approval of the County Oversight Board and the California Department of Finance (“DOF”).
On December 31, 2015, the DOF approved the City’s revised Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP), with the assets deemed for governmental use and future development properties to be transferred to the City of San Bernardino effective upon the date of the DOF ’s approval of the LRPMP.
At June 30, 2025, the Successor Agency had a deficit net position of $6,082,948 as a result of its total liabilities exceeding its total assets. The deficit is expected to be progressively eliminated as enforceable obligations are funded biannually with future property taxes.
Note 20 – Consent Decree
In 1996, the City of San Bernardino filed a complaint against the United States of America, Department 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 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 City’s 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 Muscoy Operable unit was declared operational and functional in 2007.

Note 20 – Consent Decree (Continued)
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 acceptance of the Consent Decree, the 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 system 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 the future; the funds are subject to strict limitations, contained in the Consent Decree, as to how the money 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 expand the City’s Water Department’s capacity to deliver potable water and (ii) funding work performed by the City’s Water 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.
In March 2006, the City’s Water Department entered into a Guaranteed Investment Contract (GIC) with AIG Match Funding Corporation. The Department invested $16,482,039 of excess Consent Decree 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 years 2035 -2056. An additional $50 million was used to purchase a blended insurance policy to provide a financial vehicle that provides cost cap coverage for the first 30 years of expenses.
The terms of the GIC only provided the Department with the position of a secured creditor with respect to an AIG bankruptcy. As concerns rose 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 currently invested in a diversified portfolio managed by PFM Asset Management. The balance of restricted investments held at June 30, 2025 is $26,172,408.

This authority is governed by a separate board consisting of four members; two appointed by the City through the Water Department's Board of Water Commissioners and two appointed by the City Council of the City of Colton. Construction of RIX was administered by the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority and was substantially completed during 1996. Administration and operation was turned over at that time. The cities of San Bernardino and Colton each have an undivided interest in the real property and any related debt of the RIX projects based on an 80% / 20% split, respectively. Substantially all of the assets of RIX are in the form of capital assets. RIX has no liabilities. Annual revenues (in the form of contributions from the two member cities) are equal to annual expenses.

Note 22 – Commitments and Contingencies
A. Litigation
The City is a defendant in numerous lawsuits and is also subject to other claims, including claims for workers’ compensation payments . The City generally uses outside counsel to adjudicate lawsuits. Each claim and case is initially rated by the City’s risk management team and outside Claims Examiner. At that stage, if a claim or case is likely to exceed the City’s self -insured retention of $1 million, the case or claim is reported to the City’s excess insurance carrier(s). In addition, upon the filing of a case and assignment of that case to outside counsel, outside counsel is required to provide the City with a full report identifying the City’s potential exposure and the likely fees and costs to take the case to trial. Such report may be delayed if the case is expected to be resolved relatively quickly.
Only cases rated “ probable” for recovery from the City are reported for financial statement purposes. The dollar value reserved for any eventual payout on any said case is based upon the facts of the case, industry standards relative to the type of injury or damage involved, and the experience of the handling attorney. The City used a third -party actuary to perform a workers’ compensation reserve analysis and the general liability claims analysis (estimated loss reserve) as of June 30, 202 5. The actuary used a general approach that relied upon actual loss development patterns for the City of San Bernardino to the extent they are available and is augmented with industry benchmark loss development patterns based on insurance industry sources and patterns to project ultimate losses. While it is not possible to project the outcome of these lawsuits and claims, the City and its legal department have estimated that the liability for all such litigation and claims totaled approximately $ 66.66 million for the primary government as of June 30, 2025 .
These lawsuits and claims may be compromised and /or discharged pursuant to a plan of adjustment confirmed in the Bankruptcy Case.
The City’s plan of adjustment became effective on the Effective Date, June 15, 2017, and all transactions necessary to implement the plan of adjustment closed. In the days that followed, the City made all required cash distributions on or shortly after the Effective Date. On September 8, 2022, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued an order discharging the City of San Bernardino’s bankruptcy case.

B. Federal and State Grants
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audits or adjustments by grantor agencies, principally the federal and state governments. Such audits could lead to disallowed claims under the terms of the grants, including amounts already collected, which may constitute a liability of the City.
Note 23 – Restatement
Effective July 1, 2024 , the City implemented GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences , which establishes a unified recognition and measurement framework for liabilities related to compensated absences. This change is considered a change in accounting principle under GASB Statement No. 100.
As a result, beginning net position balances were restated to reflect the revised liability measurement.
The impact of the restatement on beginning net position is summarized as follows:

The legal level of budgetary control is considered to be the department level.
Following approval of the budget by the Mayor and City Council, the following types of budget transfers may be made administratively (without action by the Mayor and City Council):
Budget transfers, including allocations within the department’s personnel (salary or benefits) budget may made be with the approval of the Budget Division, Position Control, and the Director of Finance.
Budget transfers between departments within the same fund may be made with the approval of the Director of each Department, the Budget Division, and the Director of Finance. Budget transfers between departments in the same fund will increase or decrease individual department budgets but shall not increase the fund budget.

Special Revenue Funds
Opioid Settlement Fund
Sewerline Maintenance Fund
Capital Projects Funds

Further, Section 5 of Article XIIIB allows the City to designate a portion of fund balance for general contingencies to be used in future years without limitation.

Not all overlapping rates apply to all property owners.
(3) City's Share of 1% Levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the City. The ERAF portion of the City's Levy has been subtracted where known.
(4) Redevelopment Rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area and only includes rate(s) from indebtedness adopted prior to 1989 per California State statute.
RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the incremental property values. The approval of ABX1 26 eliminated Redevelopment from the State of California for the fiscal year 2012/13 and years thereafter. (5) Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the City preparing the statistical section information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft. Beginning in fiscal year 2013-14, the Total Direct Rate no longer includes revenue generated from the former redevelopment tax rate areas.
Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations are assumed to have been resolved during fiscal year 2012-13. For the purposes of this report, residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City in the same proportions as general fund revenue.
Fiscal Year
(1) In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds.

The government code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value.

The computations shown above reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the state.
