Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Debra Black, City Clerk
Subject: Adopt Resolution 2025-58, Approving the Update to the City's Record Retention Schedule
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The City last updated the Records Retention Schedule in 2016. Staff is working with a consultant on a Records and Information Management Program Policy, and a modernized Records Retention Schedule is the first phase for this Program. This update will include all changes in laws to date.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Rescind Minute Resolution February 23, 2016, and the adopted Records Retention Schedule (2016)
• Adopt Resolution 2025-58, approving the update to the City ‘s Records Retention Schedule.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
No
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.
BACKGROUND
In 1968, the California State Legislature adopted the California Public Records Act (“CPRA”) which requires the inspection or disclosure of governmental records to the public upon request,
Approve the Update to the City's Record Retention Schedule Page 2 For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
unless exempted by law. This law did not provide a distinction between what is a record and what is not a record. In addition, CPRA did not tell the City how long each record, once defined, had to be retained. Absent a clear definition and clear rules for retaining records, the City has prepared for the Council’s consideration the Records Retention Schedule that defines what a record is and the rules and requirements for the administering the City’s records.
A Records and Information Management Policy clearly defines what a record is for the City of San Dimas and the rules the City will follow in managing both its records and general information. The Records Retention Schedule informs the public who may wish to obtain information from the City about what types of records the City creates and/or receives in the normal course of doing business and how long these record types will be retained by the City.
The Records Retention Schedule was created in collaboration with each department, and each department has had the opportunity to review and edit the document to meet the department’s business needs. The Records Retention Schedule has also been reviewed by outside counsel to ensure compliance with all pertaining federal and state laws and requirements.
In June 2025, the City authorized the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Kaizen InfoSource LLC, to prepare a Records and Information Management Policy and update the Records Retention Schedule for the City of San Dimas. Kaizen has prepared the attached Records Retention Schedule and is currently working on developing a Records and Information Management Policy that will be presented to the Council at a future date.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
As required under the Brown Act and CPRA, there is a need to have a Records and Information Management Program that is compliant, professional, cost effective, preserves vital and historical City records, and guarantees its citizens access to public records of the City. The City of San Dimas needs a modern Records Retention Schedule, as well as a Records and Information Management Policy (RMP) that will support City records. These new governance documents will not only increase government transparency but will also minimize legal risk to the City. After Council’s approval, training for the Records Retention Schedule will begin in the new year.
The next phase of the RMP will recognize the use of electronic technology as a repository for records with the Records and Information Management Policy. This will require analysis of the various electronic processing platforms currently in use by City Staff, which in part looks at whether a system can be considered a Trusted System (ensures records are true and unalterable when added to an electronic system) and creating written policies for implementation.
ALTERNATIVES
Receive and file this report on the proposed Records Retention Schedule update and provide alternative direction to staff on preferred next steps.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, the City Records Retention Schedule was created in 2016 and has not been updated since; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of San Dimas does hereby repeal Minute Resolution February 23, 2016 in its entirety and approve the updated City Records Retention Schedule as set forth in Attachment 1 to this resolution.

Dear Ms. Bearden:
As you may recall we are the claim administrators for the City of San Dimas.
The city of San Dimas generally requires a root inspection to determine ownership and responsibility. Based on the information we received from the city, there appears to be 3 other trees located on your property that could also be contributing to the damage. Without an inspection to verify the source of the roots, we are unable to conclude that the City- owned tree is the cause of the reported damage.
Therefore, we are unable to recommend settlement of your claim at this time.
Thank you
Janice Bartlett

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Michael O'Brien, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Receive and file the November 2025 Investment Report ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Monthly Reporting for the City of San Dimas investment of idle funds and cash condition.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Receive and file the Investment and Cash Condition report for the month of November 2025.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
No
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
It is the policy of the City of San Dimas to invest public funds in a manner that will provide an optimal combination of security and investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all State and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.
The priority objectives of the City’s investment activities are as follows: safety, liquidity and returns.
The City’s investment portfolio as of November 30, 2025 maintained liquid cash in the amount of $12,273,924.25 held between BMO Harris, the City and LAIF and the CALTRUST Liquidity Fund which amounts to just over 16% of the portfolio to provide the cash flow necessary for City payroll and operating expenditures as well as large capital project expenses and unforeseen

emergencies that may occur throughout the year. The following chart displays the total investments and weighted average yield per investment category:
The City’s Banking Services Provider BMO Harris provides a fully collateralized checking account whose funds are used to make cash payments for City payroll and operational expenses. The City performs daily bank reconciliations to assure adequate cash is held in the checking account for upcoming expenditures. Cash held in the account earns income credits that accumulate at a rate of .75% which offsets banking service charges that are charged each quarter to the city. As of June 10, 2024, the City opened a collateralized money market account BMO Harris.
Petty Cash is held at City facilities for cashiering purposes and to reimburse small dollar expenditures between $0.01 and $50.00.
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is considered a Local Agency Investment Pool and acts much like a money market account. Funds can be deposited and withdrawn without penalty.
The pool invests funds in short-term securities and can produce returns at rates like money markets but is considered more secure.
CALTRUST is a public agency that provides investment funds that are liquid, short term, and medium term. The assets held by CALTRUST are managed by State Street Global Advisors.
Since the City first invested with CALTRUST in August of 2010, buying into the Medium-Term Fund. The City has made various contributions throughout the years as well as reinvested any accumulated interest earnings throughout the life of the fund.
In total the weighted average cost of investing in CALTRUST is $9.99. Currently due to increasing interest rates driving market rates down for assets already held, the share price of the fund as of November 30, 2025 was $9.93. Until interest rates decline to the point that share price would increase to $9.99 or above, the City would be recognizing a loss on sale. However, the City could pull out funds at any time if liquidity needs arose.

Beginning in the month of December 2023, the City opened a liquid fund with CALTRUST which is not subject to market rate adjustments due to the type of investments utilized. The fund yielded
4.09% for the month of November. The City intends to take advantage of the high yielding short term investments until yields are no longer inverted.
The City Treasurer also utilizes Brokers to purchase investment securities such as Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds), Corporate Bonds, U.S. Treasuries and Negotiable CD’s.
As investments get purchased a broker money marker will be used for the transition time between investments maturing and becoming available cash for reinvestments.
The investment policy and California Government Code Section 53600.3 allow the City to invest 30% of its portfolio in Certificates of Deposit and 20% of its portfolio in Corporate Bonds through Brokers. U.S. Treasuries and Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds) have no investment limits. However, it is considered a best practice not to invest more than 5% in a single Government Sponsored Enterprises.
The following is a breakdown of the total invested in each type of investment along with its percentage of the portfolio:
Additionally, per the Investment Policy, the City has an established maturity matrix with the investment ranges as follows:

The weighted average maturity for all City investments is 1.80 years, short term investments with maturity within six months continues to draw higher yields. However longer-term yields have been increasing making investing in longer term assets more appealing.
Specific details pertaining to the City’s investment names, CUSIP #’s, coupon and purchase yields, maturity dates, par and book values are included in the Investment and Cash Condition Report attachment.

For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Michael O'Brien, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Approve the Administrative Services Agreement between the City of San Dimas and the San Dimas Housing Authority.
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Approval of an annual Administrative Services Agreement between the City of San Dimas and the San Dimas Housing Authority in order to recoup costs for administrative oversight of the Housing Authority program.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Administrative Services Agreement with an estimated amount of $300,212.70.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov
No
FISCAL IMPACT
The $300,212.70 Administrative Services costs were included in the adopted Fiscal Year 2025- 26 budget.
BACKGROUND
With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, HSC Section 34176 provided that a City Council could elect to retain the housing assets and functions of a dissolved redevelopment agency. On January 24, 2012, the City Council of the City of San Dimas adopted Resolution 2012-06 electing to have the San Dimas Housing Authority retain the housing assets and functions of the dissolved San Dimas Redevelopment Agency.
Approve Administrative Services Agreement between the City of San Dimas and the San Dimas Housing Authority. Page 2
For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
Shortly after the assets and functions were transferred, many of the programs and functions were curtailed due to the elimination of new funding from tax increment set-aside funds. However, there were programs and functions that needed to be maintained for the continued operations of the housing assets.
The personnel, equipment, and facilities to maintain the Authority' s functions have been provided by existing City staff and operations. When the Council approved the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Capital and Operating Budget, they approved the concept of the Housing Authority reimbursing the City for the personnel and expenses for managing the Housing Authority functions. To effectuate the reimbursement, the City and Authority need to enter into an annual Administrative Services Agreement.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The current programs and functions of the Authority include:
• Oversight of management and maintenance of the Monte Vista Apartments. • Mobile Home Rehab Grant program.
• Reconstruction of the house on the Taylor property.
• On-going and expansion of homelessness programs and initiatives. • Monitoring and compliance with low- and moderate-income housing requirements and updates to the Housing element.
• Accounting, treasurer, public meeting coordination, and clerical support for the general Authority functions.
• Future housing developments.
The attached Agreement includes an estimate of the personnel hours and costs of this year's reimbursement. The estimated number of personnel hours is very conservative. The total cost, based upon the estimate, is just over $300,000 but could be higher depending on housing activities. The City will be reimbursed based upon the actual costs at the end of the year.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may elect not to approve the agreement, which would require the General Fund to pay for all staff time that would be attributed to housing activities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Michael O'Brien, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Receive and File the City's Annual Independent Audited Financial Statements; Approve Budget Appropriations for an additional payment towards the City’s CALPERS unfunded liability, Infrastructure Projects, and Equipment Purchases.
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The City's Independent Audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is submitted as an informational item for the City Council. Staff is requesting the approval of budget appropriations for an additional payment towards the City’s CALPERS unfunded liability, Infrastructure Projects, and Equipment Purchases.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the City Council:
• Receive and File the City's Independent Audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
• Approve an additional budget appropriation of $945,000 to account number 001.4190.200.001 and authorize an additional $1,000,000 payment towards the Cities unfunded liability with CALPERS.
• Approve a revenue budget appropriation of $750,000 to the transfer in account 012.500.001 and $250,000 to transfer in revenue account 070.500.001 which corresponds with an additional $750,000 budget appropriation to expense account 001.5000.099.012 to fund future alley, sidewalk and grant funded projects requiring a match that are not eligible for funding from special funds and an additional budget appropriation of $250,000 to expense account 001.5000.099.012 for future new equipment purchases.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2024-25 fiscal year financial activity resulted in an increase to the city-wide net position of $3,671,152, for a total net position of $134,610,271.
Receive and File the City's Annual Independent Audited Financial Statements. Page 2 For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
The General Fund consists of funding that is not restricted for a specific purpose and may be used to fund the priorities of the City’s residents. It increased by $8,421,446. The following is a breakdown of the changes in the General Fund Balance.
Description 2025 2024 Difference
Unassigned 22,168,637 17,812,239 4,356,398
Assigned Fund Balance 13,236,592 9,836,592 3,400,000
New Equipment Reserve (070) 751,747 929,412 (177,665)
Capital Asset Replacement (100) 8,538,456 7,695,743 842,713 Non-spendable (Outstanding Loans Due to City) 8,700,732 8,700,732 -0- Total Fund Balance 53,396,164 44,974,718 8,421,446
The $8,421,446 increase to fund balance includes $3,400,000 that was received from an exchange of funding between Proposition A funds and General Fund Dollars that were generated from a sale of Land to Metro for the A line Parking lot. The $3,400,000 was assigned by the Council for future improvements in the Downtown to support the Downtown Specific Plan.
Of the increase, $842,713 was an additional contribution to meet future Capital Asset maintenance and replacement needs, the majority of which will be used for the City Hall Roof replacement that was recently completed. A total of $480,329 of budgeted expenditures has been carried over in fund 100, which would effectively reduce the $842,713 increase to $362,384.
The remaining $4,356,398 increase to the Unassigned General Fund Balance includes $1,065,032 of budgeted expenditures that have been carried over in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget. Those carryovers effectively reduce the surplus amount of $4,356,398 to $3,291,366.
BACKGROUND
At the end of each fiscal year, an audit of the City's financial records is conducted by an outside auditing firm. Within six months of the close of each fiscal year, State law requires that all generalpurpose local governments publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The City of San Dimas contracts with Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP to conduct the audit and produce our annual report.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The unassigned surplus of $3,291,366 provides an opportunity for the City to make additional progress towards its largest liability, as well as provide funding for infrastructure replacements that have no dedicated funding source such as alleys and sidewalks.
As of the end of the 2024-25 fiscal year the City’s CALPERS plan is calculated to be 77.87% funded per the below pension outlook model provided by CALPERS. If the Council were to approve an additional $1,000,000 payment towards its outstanding unfunded liability to go along with the additional $500,000 payment that was made in May of 2025, the projected unfunded liability rate would increase to 81.60% assuming CALPERS meets its projected return of 6.8%
Receive and File the City's Annual Independent Audited Financial Statements. Page 3 For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
which it is trending to meet or exceed at the time of this report. Below is the chart provided by the CALPERS Pension outlook system that demonstrates the effects of the additional contributions.
The difference in the base funded status and the modeled funded status for June 30, 2025, is a result of inputting the actual investment return of 11.6% versus the forecasted assumed rate of return of 6.8%.
The changes going forward are a result of the proposed additional contribution of $1,000,000, as well as the prior contribution of $500,000 that was made last May 2025.
The 80% is a legislative benchmark for private retirement plans to be considered solvent. Below 80% is considered at risk of ever becoming solvent. Not only would the additional contribution create a healthier plan for the City, but it would also reduce the future contributions the City must make on an ongoing basis until the unfunded liability is paid – which would assist in eliminating future budget deficits.
The additional combined $1,000,000 in appropriations would be transferred from the General Fund to infrastructure Fund 12 and Fund 70 ($750,000 Fund 12, $250,000 Fund 70). Fund 12 is where the City contributes funding for sidewalks, alleys and other grant funded projects that require a match and cannot be paid for with any of the City’s special funds, including road funds.
Fund 70 is utilized to purchase new equipment that does not replace existing equipment. New equipment purchases such as a compact loader (Toro Dingo) or IT infrastructure are determined to be necessary to improve operational efficiencies and/or security enhancements.
Receive and File the City's Annual Independent Audited Financial Statements. Page 4 For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
The City has a number of miles of sidewalks that require upgrades to meet ADA standards, which will require significant investment over time, as well as miles of alleys that need to be repaved.
Road funds such as Gas Tax, Measure M and Measure R cannot be used for sidewalk or alley repair and must instead rely on grants or General Fund dollars. This transfer will help meet the needs for a few years as programmed projects are completed.
Audit Findings
During the audit process the auditors noted an internal control concern regarding staff’s ability to edit vendor information. At the beginning of the fiscal year, staff implemented a new approval process for vendors that were created. The assumption was that the approval process would capture new vendors imputed, as well as edits to current vendors. Prior to this implementation, the Supervisors reviewed a track changes report to monitor changes to vendor histories and new vendors entered. During the audit testing, it was revealed that edits could be made without being subject to the system’s approval process.
Upon realizing this, management determined that it was best to utilize the security features to remove vendor modification abilities from the staff that enters invoices. Going forward, vendor modifications will be entered by the Accounting Supervisors or the Administrative Services Director in order to properly separate duties for this internal control process.
City Financial Outlook: Budget and Economic Considerations for Next Year Purpose of the Budget
Our City's budget is more than just numbers—it's a plan that ensures we use our resources efficiently and effectively, prioritizing the City’s most important goals. The City Council shapes the community's direction and priorities through the budget, carefully allocating the City’s financial resources.
Forecasting Our Finances
The 2025-26 budget projections are crafted using economic trends and forecasts specific to our area. These estimates, informed by state agencies, the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office, and consulting services provided by companies such as HDL, help us predict our revenue from various sources like property tax, sales tax, Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and business license taxes.
During the 2024-25 fiscal year, our General Fund saw a notable increase of $8,421,446. $3,400,000 was generated from the exchange of funds between Proposition A monies and the General Fund to help support the implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan. The additional $5,021,446 is a mix of much higher than anticipated interest income as well as $1,545,361 of expenditures that will be carried over into the next fiscal year. Permit revenues from a major business development, as well as salary savings from vacancies also attributed to this surplus.
Going forward the City is fully staffed heading into the 2025-26 fiscal year, and interest rates on investments have declined approximately 1% since the beginning of the 2024-25 fiscal year.
Interest rates will likely continue to decrease moderately over the course of the 2025-26 fiscal year, which will result in decreased interest revenues. Some major housing developments have
Receive and File the City's Annual Independent Audited Financial Statements. Page 5 For the Meeting of December 9, 2025
been approved and are expected to generate additional permit and property tax revenues.
However, construction may or may not take place within the 2025-26 fiscal year, making it uncertain if permit revenues will come in at the levels we experienced in the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
Future Financial Conditions and Key Fiscal Risks
As the City looks ahead to Fiscal Year 2025-26 and beyond, several financial factors will influence the City’s ability to sustain high quality public services while maintaining long term fiscal stability.
These considerations include:
1. Slowing Revenue Growth – Property tax growth is expected to be moderate, and sales tax revenues are projected to remain flat due to shifting consumer spending patterns and the continued volatility in auto sales, a key local tax driver.
2. Declining Interest Earnings – Interest revenue was a major contributor to the Fiscal Year 2024- 25 surplus. However, declining interest rates are expected to reduce earnings by approximately 1%, creating downward pressure on General Fund revenues.
3. Increasing Contract Service Costs – Public safety, landscape maintenance, engineering, and janitorial services continue to experience cost increases exceeding inflation. These increases outpace City revenue growth and present structural budget challenges.
4. Rising Pension and OPEB Costs – The City’s CalPERS retirement obligations will continue to rise as the discount rate declines and investment returns remain volatile. CalPERS’ reduction of amortization periods from 30 to 20 years further increases the City’s annual required contributions.
5. Aging Infrastructure and Facility Needs – Major facility investments will be required over the next 5–10 years, including improvements to the City Yard, Recreation Center, and core building systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical). Deferred maintenance costs are expected to accelerate.
6. Future Development Uncertainty – Several approved housing developments are projected to increase City revenues. However, construction timelines are uncertain, potentially delaying anticipated building permit and property tax revenues.
7. State and Regional Mandates – Housing, environmental compliance, stormwater regulations, and other mandates may increase operational and capital costs without providing stable funding sources.
Despite these challenges, the City maintains substantial General Fund reserves, and its net position remains at an all-time high. The City continues to utilize its financial resources to invest strategically in infrastructure, and is actively exploring opportunities to diversify revenue streams, utilize computer software programs, third parties and AI to modernize its processes to be more efficient in order to enhance the City’s long term fiscal sustainability, and to maintain our service offerings that are so vital to our residents.

The City Council could elect not to adopt the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report until a later date. Adopting the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report at this time allows the City to submit for excellence in financial reporting award consideration.
The City Council could also elect not to approve any of the proposed budget appropriations, which includes the use of funds to make an additional payment towards the City’s unfunded CALPERS liability.

To the Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens of the City of San Dimas:
State law requires that all general-purpose local governments publish within six months of the close of each fiscal year a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the annual financial report of the City of San Dimas for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City of San Dimas.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City of San Dimas has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of San Dimas’ financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City of San Dimas’ comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement.
The City has financial internal controls policies and procedures intended to provide adequate control over the reporting of financial information. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of San Dimas’ financial statements have been audited by Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants, their first year conducting this financial statement audit. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City of San Dimas for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, are free of material misstatement.
All General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, Private Purpose Trust Fund and Custodial funds have annually appropriated budgets.
Auditor’s Opinion on Financial Statements for June 30, 2025 The independent audit conducted by Rodgers, Anderson, Malody & Scott LLP, Certified Public Accountants involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
245 East Bonita Avenue ∙ San Dimas ∙ California 91773-3002 ∙ (909) 394-6200 ∙ Fax (909) 394-6209 sandimasca.gov ii
The independent auditor concluded based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified (clean) opinion that the City of San Dimas’ 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 this report.
The independent audit of the financial statements of the City of San Dimas includes the determination as to whether the City will require a Single Audit which is designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A).
This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of San Dimas’ MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditors report.
Profile of the Government
The City of San Dimas is located about 30 miles east of Los Angeles and near the western boarder of San Bernardino County, at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. Superior access to freeways offers a centralized location from which to enjoy Southern California’s many excellent cultural and recreational activities. San Dimas currently occupies a land area of 15 square miles and serves a population of 34,924.
The City of San Dimas’ citizens receive a full range of services through the combined efforts of the City’s five departments (City Manager’s Office, Administrative Services, Parks & Recreation, Public Works and Community Development) and many contract services, including services from the County of Los Angeles for police and fire services.
The City of San Dimas was incorporated in 1960 with a Council-Manager form of government. Policymaking and legislative authority are vested in a governing council consisting of the mayor and four council members. The governing council is responsible among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing commissions, and hiring both the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the governing council, for overseeing the dayto-day operations of the City and for appointing the heads of the various departments. The council is elected on a non-partisan basis. Council members serve four-year staggered terms, with two council members elected every two years. The mayor is directly elected to serve a two-year term. The City of San Dimas is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal properties located within its boundaries. It also is empowered by state statute to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which occurs periodically when deemed appropriate by the governing council.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of San Dimas’ financial planning and control. All departments and agencies of the City of San Dimas are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City Manager for the new fiscal year around March of each year. The City Manager uses these requests as the starting point for developing a proposed budget. Once budget sessions are complete, the City Manager then presents this proposed budget to the City Council for review. The City Council is required to adopt a final budget no later than June 30th, which is the close of the City of San Dimas’ fiscal year. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g., public safety), and department (e.g., public works).
Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in this report for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The City’s overall financial position continued to improve during the 2024-25 fiscal year, additional funding was attributable to a fund exchange between Proposition A funds and General Fund dollars that increased the General Fund Assigned Reserves by $3,400,000 to address future improvements in support
245 East Bonita Avenue ∙ San Dimas ∙ California 91773-3002 ∙ (909) 394-6200 ∙ Fax (909) 394-6209 sandimasca.gov iii
of the Downtown Specific Plan. Additionally, one time revenues came in significantly above budget which included Interest Revenues, Permits and Charges for Services as fee increases meant to address the shortfall between the cost to deliver the service and the fees charged went into effect in the 2024-2025 fiscal year and yielded better than projected results.
Local economy. Sales tax revenues have remained mostly flat over the past fiscal year with minimal increases projected in the 2025-26 fiscal year as cost increases have affected their buying power. The coming year will see housing developments that are planned to begin construction in the coming years that will increase property tax revenues and help drive an uptick in sales tax revenues. The City also has potential for expansion for businesses to fill unoccupied industrial locations that were vacated by Gilead that can be replaced with a business that produces Sales Taxes for the City along with Property tax dollars.
Long-term financial planning. San Dimas has taken proactive steps to secure its financial future, establishing a Capital Asset Reserve and assigning a total of $8.5 million for future lifecycle replacements and capital maintenance of essential facilities and infrastructure. The City is also committed to reviewing its five-year financial projections for both revenue and expenditures, identifying areas where reserve funding may be necessary to sustain operations and infrastructure improvements.
To support the community's quality of life and financial stability, San Dimas has implemented multiyear initiatives focused on public safety, homelessness response, and infrastructure maintenance, while carefully managing fiscal challenges. Through responsible budgeting and investment in priority projects, the City aims to maintain service levels that meet the community's needs without compromising its financial health.
San Dimas will continue to monitor economic trends and adjust its financial strategies accordingly, focusing on preserving essential services and enhancing operational efficiency to respond effectively to any future fiscal pressures.
The City of San Dimas maintains a five-year capital improvement program which serves as its planning document to ensure that its facilities, equipment, and infrastructure are well maintained and operating in peak condition. The City remains committed to maintaining and enhancing its infrastructure, vehicles, and equipment through strategic capital investments and a well-structured replacement program. As part of this process, the City of San Dimas identifies and quantifies the operational costs associated with its capital projects and budgets resources accordingly.
The fiscal year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program has allocated funding to ensure essential infrastructure upgrades, park improvements, and the modernization of public facilities to support continued quality of life and operational efficiency.
Key capital improvement projects for this fiscal year include a little over 9.5 million of allocated funding to address our aging street infrastructure to improve safety and longevity. Other planned allocations focus on enhancing infrastructure, such as sidewalks, parks, and municipal buildings, which are critical to meeting community expectations and maintaining asset integrity.
To support ongoing operations and ensure service reliability, San Dimas has also prioritized the replacement of aging fleet vehicles and essential equipment. The 2025-26 budget includes $1,558,000 for replacing fleet vehicles and $550,000 to improve the storm water infrastructure at the Horse Thief Canyon Equestrian Center. This investment addresses immediate operational needs and aligns with the City’s long-term goal of prioritizing the approach to capital replacement, ensuring funding availability for necessary replacements without disrupting current year resources.

Through these investments, San Dimas demonstrates a commitment to fiscal responsibility, ensuring that its capital assets, vehicles, and equipment remain reliable, safe, and capable of supporting the City’s high standards for service and infrastructure.
Cash management policies and practices. Cash temporarily idle during the year was mainly invested in the State Treasurer’s investment pool, CALTRUST, Certificates of Deposit, United States Treasuries, Government Sponsored Enterprise Bonds, Municipal Bonds and Corporate Bonds invested through brokers Time Value Investments, Great Pacific Securities and Stifel. The strategy for investment is intended to maximize earnings on available funds.
Tax Abatement Program. The City of San Dimas, through the Former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and now the Successor Agency, entered into a performance-based tax abatement agreement with a local retailer to stimulate economic activity and foster public benefit. This agreement, approved by the City Council, provides the retailer with a structured incentive tied to sales, property, and business license tax revenues, while also securing a leased parking lot space for public use.
Under this agreement, fifty percent (50%) of the portion of annual sales tax revenues exceeding $200,000 is abated each year as an incentive for the retailer's continued growth and contribution to the local economy.
The agreement is currently set to conclude at the end of fiscal year 2026-27. This partnership reflects the City’s commitment to economic development through strategic tax incentives, fostering job creation and local commerce while providing valuable public infrastructure.
Pension and other post-employment benefits. The City of San Dimas contracts with the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) for the pension plan for miscellaneous employees. Each year, PERS prepares an actuarial report that calculates the amount of the annual contribution that the City of San Dimas must make to the pension plan to ensure that the plan will be able to fully meet its obligations to retired employees on a timely basis. For fiscal year 2025-26, the City had an employer rate of 11.94% and made an annual lump sum pre-payment of $1,456,620 towards the Cities unfunded accrued liability. The total unfunded liability is equal to $15,987,517. The employee’s contribution is 7% from their pay to the retirement plan in fiscal year 2025-26. The unfunded liability rate increased from previous reports due to lower rates of return than is anticipated as well as a reduction in the discount rate which reduces the assumed rate of return on investments. However, at the end of June 30,2025 CALPERS realized gains of 11.6%, out pacing the expected rate of return of 6.8%. This unexpected gain should help to moderately reduce the unfunded liability.
For Other Post Employee Benefits (OPEB), the City pays the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act minimum amount for retiree health benefits and therefore, budgets and disburses payments on a “pay as you go” basis. With the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Standard 75, the City is reporting OPEB liabilities on its 2024-25 government wide financial statements in the amount of $2,309,953, an increase of $48,423 from the liability measured for 2023-24.
Additional information. The goal of the City of San Dimas’ financial staff is to strive for excellence in the performance of the financial functions and reporting. The requirements of GASB have expanded requirements related to financial reporting. It is our goal to achieve the standards set by these professional organizations and preserve the qualities of financial reporting excellence. As mentioned in the beginning

of this letter, the City of San Dimas’ financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025, were audited by Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP. Also mentioned in the beginning of this report, Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, PPL, have issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the City of San Dimas’ financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Awards and Acknowledgments
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of San Dimas for its annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This was the second consecutive year that the City of San Dimas had achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City of San Dimas had to publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR that satisfied both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable program requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting is valid for a period of one year only.
However, we believe that our current ACFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Program’s requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The City of San Dimas also received the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers CSMFO Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its annual budget document dated June 30, 2024. To qualify for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the City of San Dimas budget document had to be judged proficient as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device.
The preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the efficient and dedicated services of the entire staff of the Finance Division and cooperation of all City departments. We would also like to thank the Mayor and members of the City Council for their prudent planning and support in executing the financial operations of the City in a responsible and thoughtful manner.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable City Council
City of San Dimas, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of San Dimas, California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements during the year ended June 30, 2025, the City adopted new accounting guidance under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
-2-
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the required supplementary information, such as management’s discussion and analysis, and tables listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The supplementary information as listed in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
-3-
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the accompanying supplementary 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 the annual comprehensive financial report.
The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other 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 December 2, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

City of San Dimas
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
-4-
As management of the City of San Dimas, we offer readers of the City of San Dimas’ financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of San Dimas for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal and the City’s financial statements.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of the City of San Dimas exceeded the liabilities and deferred inflows at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $134,610,271 (net position). The net position is comprised of net investment in capital assets in the amount of $59,180,178 restricted and unrestricted net position in the amount of $75,430,093 for public safety, parks & recreation, public works, debt service, housing and the government’s ongoing obligations as listed on the Statement of Net Position.
The Statement of Activities details the program and general revenues in the amount of $52,986,636. The costs of governmental activities were $49,315,484 as shown on the Statement of Activities. Thus, the City’s net position increased by $3,671,152 as a result of the 2024-25 operations
The General Fund reported excess revenues over expenditures of $8,459,777 excluding transfers in and transfers out. Refer to the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances Governmental Funds. This is offset by a net transfer of ($138,541) out of the General Fund to support other fund activity and the proceeds from issuance of Subscription based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) and leases of $100,210 for a net change in the General Fund balance of $8,421,446. The Budgetary Comparison Schedule by Department shows the General Fund, actual resources available for appropriation (revenue inflows and fund balance) were over the final budget by $4,828,986, and actual appropriations (outflows) were under budget by $5,397,636. The City of San Dimas’ total long-term liabilities decreased by $982,171 during the current fiscal year. The key factor in this decrease was due to the actuarial Net Pension liability decreasing as well as the City making its annual debt service payment towards the Charter Oak Mobile Home Park Bond. (Refer to Notes 5, 6 and 7).
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis section is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of San Dimas’ basic financial statements. The City of San Dimas’ basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the 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 of San Dimas’ finances, in a manner similar to private-sector business.
City of San Dimas
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
-5-
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City of San Dimas’ assets plus deferred outflows of resources and liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of San Dimas is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the 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.)
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of San Dimas that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City of San Dimas include General Government, Public Safety, Community Development, Public Works and Parks and Recreation.
The government-wide financial statements include the blending of separate legal entities such as:
the Successor Agency for the former San Dimas Redevelopment Agency, San Dimas Public Financing Authority, San Dimas Public Corporation and San Dimas La Verne Facilities Authority.
Although legally separate, these “component units” are important because the City of San Dimas is financially accountable for them.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of San Dimas, like other local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of San Dimas can be divided into two categories: governmental 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 governmentwide 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, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
-6-
The City of San Dimas maintains twenty-three individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund and the Golf Course Maintenance and Operation Fund are considered to be major funds. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City of San Dimas adopts an annual appropriated budget for all material funds. Budgetary comparison schedules have been provided for the general fund and two other major funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of San Dimas’ own programs. The City has two Fiduciary Funds. 1) The Successor Agency (PrivatePurpose Trust Fund) and 2) Walker House, LLC Fund (Custodial Fund). The City budgets for these funds to reflect the operations of the Successor Agency and the Walker House. The fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on page 22-23 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 24-61.

Government-Wide Financial Analysis
Our analysis focuses on the net position and changes in net position of the City’s governmental activities. No business-type activities are reported in the government-wide statements.
The City’s net position from governmental activities increased from $130,939,119 to $134,610,271. This increase comes from City operations bringing in more resources than it used during the fiscal year, as recorded in the Statement of Activities and flows through the Statement of Net Position.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS
The City of San Dimas uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with financerelated legal requirements.
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City of San Dimas’ governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City of San Dimas’ financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City of San Dimas’ total governmental funds reported combined ending fund balance of $81,495,622, an increase of $2,451,756 in comparison with the prior year as noted on the Balance Sheet Governmental Funds.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of San Dimas. At the end of the current fiscal year, excluding transfers, the General Fund (Fund 01 & Fund 70) had excess revenues over expenditures of $8,459,777 (see the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance). This is offset by a net transfer of $(138,541) out of the General Fund to support other fund activity, and proceeds from issuance of SBITAs and leases of $100,210 for a net change in the General Fund balance of $8,421,446. Most of the funds transferred out of the General Fund were for capital projects to improve our major roads and park amenities as well as equipment purchases to modernize our vehicle fleet. Additional assignments of fund balance were approved by the City Council to fund future improvements in relation to the Downtown Specific Plan in the amount of $3,400,000.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The Budgetary Comparison Schedule by Department for the General Fund will detail the final budget for appropriations in the General Fund (Fund 01, 70 & Fund 100) at year-end was $37,770,626. The actual appropriations were $30,372,990 under budget by $5,397,636 for the fiscal year including transfers out. The majority of the budget variance is due to Capital projects and equipment purchases that were budgeted but not completed within the 2024-25 fiscal year.
Major projects and equipment being carried over include the City Hall Roof Repair as well as a large variety of fleet vehicles, as the City moves to modernize our fleet inventory. Budgeted costs for other general operating expenses came in under budget as well as a number of large expenditure line items related to grant funds and multi-year projects such as the safety element update, ADU standards update and online permitting will have their budgets carried over into the 2025-26 fiscal year. Additionally, large budgets for expenditures related to professional services were not utilized, the majority of which was related to a potential request for proposals for waste collection services which was not needed when terms were met for an extension with the current service provider.
The final budget for revenues in the General Fund (Fund 01, 070 & Fund 100) at year end was $33,965,450. The actual revenues were $38,794,436 over the budget by $4,828,986 for the fiscal year including transfers in. The main factor for the increase in revenue was due to interest revenues, which were predicted to see a larger drop in interest rates than was realized. The additional interest as well as a favorable fair market valuation adjustment generated 3.8 million of additional revenue over budget along with an additional $1,196,550 of taxes, licenses and fees over budget that was supported in part because of the recently adopted fee increases that drove the additional revenues. Sales tax revenues were a major revenue category that came in under budget by a little over $83,000 as sales tax revenues remained mostly flat when compared to the prior fiscal year.

Right to Use Assets. As part of the GASB 87 which went into effect in the 2021-22 fiscal year, long term leases are now being displayed on the financial statements. The $62,799 represents the total remaining lease value less accumulated amortization. As part of the GASB 96 which went into effect in the 2022-23 fiscal year, long term subscriptions are now being displayed on the financial statements. The $145,714 represents the total remaining subscription value less accumulated amortization.
Long-term Liabilities. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of San Dimas had total bonded debt outstanding for the Civic Center Facilities, San Dimas Public Financing Authority, Housing Authority, accrued employee’s benefits for compensated absences, subscription liability, lease liability and accrued pension and OPEB liability in the amount of $20,685,367.
More detailed information about the City’s long-term liabilities is presented in Notes 11 to the financial statements.
The major factor for the City of San Dimas’ and Successor Agency’s total debt decrease is repayments of debt during the fiscal year. The City of San Dimas maintains an “AA-” rating from Standard & Poor’s and Fitch for general obligation debt.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to 10 percent of its total assessed valuation. The current debt limitation for the City of San Dimas is $2,237,005,472.
City Financial Outlook: Budget and Economic Considerations for Next Year Purpose of the Budget
Our City's budget is more than just numbers—it's a plan that ensures we use our resources efficiently and effectively, prioritizing our most important goals. The City Council shapes our community's direction and priorities through this budget, carefully allocating our financial resources.
Forecasting Our Finances
The 2025-26 budget projections are crafted using economic trends and forecasts specific to our area. These estimates, informed by state agencies, the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office, and consulting services provided by companies such as HDL help us predict our income from various sources like property, sales, TOT and Business License Taxes.
During the 2024-25 fiscal year, our General Fund saw a notable increase of $8,421,446. $3,400,000 was generated from the exchange of funds between Proposition A monies and the General Fund to help support the implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan. The additional $5,021,446 is a mix of much higher than anticipated interest income as well as $1,545,361 of expenditures that will be carried over into the next fiscal year. Permit revenues from a major business development as well as salary savings from vacancies also attributed to this surplus.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
-14-
Going forward the City is fully staffed heading into the 2025-26 fiscal year and interest rates on investments have declined approximately 1% since the beginning of the 2024-25 fiscal year.
Interest rates will look to continue to decrease moderately over the course of the 2025-26 fiscal year which will result in decreased interest revenues. Some major housing developments have been approved that will generate additional permit and property tax revenues, but construction may or may not take place within the 2025-26 fiscal year making it uncertain if permit revenues will come in at the levels we experienced in the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
Future Financial Conditions and Key Fiscal Risks
As the City looks ahead to fiscal years 2025-26 and beyond, several financial factors will influence the City’s ability to sustain high-quality public services while maintaining long-term fiscal stability.
These considerations include:
1. Slowing Revenue Growth – Property tax growth is expected to moderate, and sales tax revenues are projected to remain flat due to shifting consumer spending patterns and the continued volatility in auto sales, a key local tax driver.
2. Declining Interest Earnings – Interest revenue was a major contributor to the FY 2024-25 surplus. However, declining interest rates are expected to reduce earnings by approximately 1%, creating downward pressure on General Fund revenues.
3. Increasing Contract Service Costs – Public safety, landscape maintenance, engineering, and janitorial services continue to experience cost increases exceeding inflation. These increases outpace City revenue growth and present structural budget challenges.
4. Rising Pension and OPEB Costs – The City’s CalPERS retirement obligations will continue to rise as the discount rate declines and investment returns remain volatile. CalPERS’ reduction of amortization periods from 30 to 20 years further increases the City’s annual required contributions.
5. Aging Infrastructure and Facility Needs – Major facility investments will be required over the next 5–10 years, including improvements to the City Yard, Recreation Center, and core building systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical). Deferred maintenance costs are expected to accelerate.
6. Future Development Uncertainty – Several approved housing developments are projected to increase City revenues. However, construction timelines are uncertain, potentially delaying anticipated building permit and property tax revenues.
7. State and Regional Mandates – Housing, environmental compliance, stormwater regulations, and other mandates may increase operational and capital costs without providing stable funding sources.

Despite these challenges, the City maintains substantial General Fund reserves and its net position is as high as its ever been. The City continues to utilize its financial resources to invest strategically in infrastructure, and is actively exploring opportunities to diversify revenue streams, utilize computer software programs, third parties and AI to modernize our processes to be more efficient in order to enhance the Cities long-term fiscal sustainability and to maintain our service offerings that are so vital to our residents.

I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A) Description of the Reporting Entity
The City of San Dimas, California (“City”), was incorporated on August 4, 1960, under the laws of the State of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges applicable to a General Law City. It is governed by an elected five-member board. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the City of San Dimas (the primary government) and its component units. The component units discussed below are included in the reporting entity because their governing boards are the same as that of the primary government and because of their operational or financial relationships with the City of San Dimas.
Blended component units
The San Dimas - La Verne Recreational Authority was created by a joint exercise of powers agreement between the cities of San Dimas and La Verne dated December 1, 1970. No separate financial statements are prepared.
The San Dimas Public Financing Authority was created by a joint exercise of powers agreement between the City of San Dimas and the former San Dimas Redevelopment Agency on April 23, 1996, to facilitate the issuance of bonds from the former Redevelopment Agency. No separate financial statements are prepared.
The San Dimas Public Facilities Financing Corporation was formed November 12, 1991. It is a nonprofit public benefit corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, authorized pursuant to Section 5140 of the Corporations Code, to assist the City in financing certain public facilities. No separate financial statements are prepared.
The San Dimas Housing Authority was formed on September 27, 1994, by Resolution No. 94-65. The authority was created in order to establish an entity that could own and operate low- and moderate-income housing facilities. Separate financial statements of the Authority are not prepared.
B) Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. All fiduciary activities are reported only in the fund financial statements. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. The primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable.

1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (continued)
B) Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements, (continued) The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and fiduciary funds even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. The fiduciary funds are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period, with the exception of grants which have availability period of 90 days. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are accrued and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period.
Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is accrued as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.

1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (continued)
C) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation, (continued)
In the fund financial statements, fiduciary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the fund financial statements, fiduciary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. This means that all assets and all liabilities (whether current or non-current) associated with their activity are included on their balance sheets. Fiduciary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Golf Course Maintenance and Operation Fund accounts for the proceeds of the golf course activities that are restricted by law or administrative action to expenditures for specified purposes.
Additionally, the City also reports the following fund types:
Special Revenue Fund – Account for taxes and other revenues, which are set aside for a specific purpose in accordance with law or administrative regulation.
Capital Projects Fund – Accounts for financial resources used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
Debt Service Fund – Accounts for the accumulation of resources for and the payment of principal and interest on general long-term debt.
The Private-Purpose Trust Fund – Accounts for the assets, liabilities, and net position of the former redevelopment agency and is allocated revenue to pay estimated installment payments of enforceable obligations until obligations of the former redevelopment agency are paid in full and assets have been liquidated.
The Custodial Fund – Accounts for receipts and expenditures of monies received from the repayment of principal and interest from the Successor Agency and to expenditures associated with the maintenance and operations of the Walker House.

1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (continued)
D) Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows, and Net Position or Equity
1. Deposits and Investments
The City's 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.
Investments for the City, as well as for its component units, are reported at fair value.
The State Treasurer's Investment Pool operates in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations. The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.
2. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds." Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance non-spendable account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for un-collectibles.
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied providing they become available. Available means then due or past due and receivable within the current period and collected within the current period or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter (not to exceed 60 days), to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The County of Los Angeles collects property taxes for the City. Tax liens attach annually on the first day in January proceeding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. The tax levy covers the fiscal period July 1 to June
30. All secured personal property taxes and one-half of the taxes on real property are due November 1; the second installment is due February 1.
All taxes are delinquent if unpaid on December 10 and April 10, respectively.
Unsecured personal property taxes become due on the first of March each year and are delinquent on August 31.

3. Inventories, Prepaid Items and Land Held for Resale
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
Land purchased for resale is capitalized as inventory at acquisition costs or net realizable value, if lower.
4. Policy for Eliminating Internal Activity in Government-Wide Statement of Activities
Administrative overhead charges are made to funds and programs and are thereby included in the direct expenses of those funds and programs.
5. Capital Assets
Capital assets which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the governmental activities’ column in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets other than infrastructure assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Infrastructure assets have a capitalization threshold of $50,000. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value on the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Right-to-use lease and subscription assets are amortized over the life of the associated contract using the straight-line method.

D) Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows, and Net Position or Equity, (continued)
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings and structures 10-25
Equipment 3-10
Improvements other than buildings 3-25
6. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The government has items that qualify for reporting in this category. The deferred outflows relating to the net pension obligation and related to OPEB are reported in the government-wide statement of net position. These outflows are the results of either the contributions made subsequent to the measurement period, which are expensed in the following year, differences between expected and actual experiences, adjustments due to differences in proportion, the difference between actual contributions made and the proportionate share of the risk pool’s total contributions, net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments or change in assumptions.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The government has one item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting that qualifies for reporting in this category.
Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from taxes, grant revenues, and deferred loans. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. In addition, the government has items that qualify for reporting in this category which are deferred inflows relating to the deferred inflows relating to the net pension obligation and related to OPEB reported in the government-wide statement of net position. These inflows are the result of either the net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments, adjustments due to differences in proportion, differences between expected and actual experiences, changes in assumptions or the difference between actual contributions made and the proportionate share of the risk pool’s total contributions.

1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (continued)
D) Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows, and Net Position or Equity, (continued)
Gains and losses related to changes in net pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. Amounts are first recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB or pension and are to be recognized in future OPEB and pension expense. In addition, deferred inflow related to leases are reported in the governmental funds and the government-wide statements.
7. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. Vacation pay is payable to employees at the time a vacation is taken or upon termination of employment. Normally an employee cannot accrue more than two and one-half times their regular annual entitlement.
Sick leave is payable when an employee is unable to work because of illness. Except for retirement, unused sick leave is forfeited upon termination. Upon retirement an employee will be paid for any unused sick leave up to the first 100 hours at full pay and the remainder will be paid at a 50% rate.
All vacation and sick leave pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide statements.
8. Net Pension Liability
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Plan and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. 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.
Generally accepted accounting principles 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 01, 2023 to June 30, 2024

9. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, have been determined by an independent actuary.
For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Typically, the general fund is used to liquidate the total OPEB liability.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
10. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the governmental activities Statement of Net Position.
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.
11. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, government funds report the following fund balance classification:
Non-spendable includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is through a resolution or ordinance.
Assigned includes amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. The City Manager, Assistant City Manager and/or Administrative Services Director are authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose, which was established by the governing body in a Council action in fiscal year 2020-21.
Unassigned includes the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes.
An individual governmental fund could include non-spendable resources and amounts that are restricted or unrestricted (assigned or unassigned) or any combination of those classifications. Restricted amounts are to be considered spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Committed, assigned and unassigned amounts are considered to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications can be used.
Additionally, only the general fund can report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other than the general fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.
12. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.

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

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

Investments in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. LAIF is overseen by the Local Agency Investment Advisory Board, which consists of five members in accordance with State statute. The State Treasurer's Office audits the fund annually. The fair value of the position in the investment pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.
Fair Value of Investments
Generally accepted accounting principles establishes fair value standards for investments in participating interest earning investment contracts, external investment pools, equity securities, option contracts, stock warrants and stock rights that have readily determinable fair values. Accordingly, the City reports its investments at fair value in the balance sheet.
All investment income including changes in the fair value of investments is recognized as revenue in the operating statement.
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. The City’s investment policy does not limit investments in Federal Agency Securities and Treasury Obligations to ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Presented below are the City’s investments and the actual rating as of fiscal year end for each investment type:

Custodial Credit Risk
The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.
The City Treasurer may waive the collateral requirement for deposits that are fully insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s investment policy imposes restrictions on the percentage that the City can invest in certain types of investments. As of June 30, 2025, in accordance with GASB No. 40 disclosure requirements, the City has not invested more than 5% of its total investments in any one issuer. Investments guaranteed by the U.S. government and investments in mutual funds and external investment pools are excluded from this requirement.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value is to changes in market interest rates. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City's investments to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City's investments by maturity:

General Information about the Pension Rate Plan
Plan Description
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan or PERF C) administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS.) The Plan consists of a miscellaneous pool and a safety pool (also referred to as “risk pools”), which are comprised of individual employer miscellaneous and safety rate plans, respectively.
Plan assets may be used to pay benefits for any employer rate plan of the safety and miscellaneous pools. Accordingly, rate plans within the safety or miscellaneous pools are not separate plans under generally accepted accounting principles. Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the miscellaneous or safety risk pools. The City participates in two rate plans (two miscellaneous). Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS’ website, at www.calpers.ca.gov.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full-time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 5 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost-of-living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.

5) PENSION PLAN, (continued)
The Plan operates under the provisions of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and the regulations, procedures and policies adopted by the CalPERS Board of Administration. The Plan’s authority to establish and amend the benefit terms are set by the PERL and PEPRA, and may be amended by the California state legislature and in some cases require approval by the CalPERS Board.
The Plans’ provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2025, are summarized as follows:

Required employer contribution rates 11.88% 7.87%
Required employee contribution rates 7.00% 7.75%
Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate.
The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contribution requirements are classified as plan member contributions.
Employer contributions to the Plan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 were $2,555,034.
Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is as follows.

For more details, please refer to the 2021 experience study report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both shortterm and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points.

Leverage (5.00%) (0.59%) 2
Figures are based on the 2021-22 Asset Liability Management study. 1 An expected inflation of 2.30% used for this period.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for PERF C was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Subsequent Events
There were no subsequent events that would materially affect the results presented in this disclosure.
Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Information about the pension plan’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and fiduciary net position are presented in CalPERS’ audited financial statements, which are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website, at www.calpers.ca.gov. The plan’s fiduciary net position and additions to/deductions from the plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis used by the pension plan, which is the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the plan. Investments are reported at fair value.

Plan Description
The City has a single-employer plan which it provides the minimum required employer contribution under the CalPERS Health Plan (HC Plan) for eligible retirees and surviving spouses in receipt of a pension benefit from CalPERS. An employee is eligible for this employer contribution provided they are vested in their CalPERS pension benefit and commence payment of their pension benefit within 120 days of retirement with the City.
Vesting requires at least 5 years of CalPERS total service. The surviving spouse of an eligible retiree who elected spouse coverage under CalPERS is eligible for the employer contribution upon the death of the retiree.
The City does not issue any financial report for the HC plan. A separate financial report is not prepared for the plan.
The minimum required employer contributions are statutorily set under PEMHCA and is scheduled to increase in the future based on the medical portion of CPI. Minimum required employer contributions for the calendar years 2024 and 2025 were $157 and $158, respectively. There are no assets accumulated in a qualifying trust to pay related benefits.
The City participates in the CalPERS Health Program, a community-rated program for its medical coverage.

Discount Rate
When an entity finances retiree benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis, GASB Statement No. 75 requires the use of a discount rate equal to a 20-year high grade municipal bond rate.
The City intends to continue financing its OPEB liability on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Therefore, the City’s discount rate used in this valuation is based on the S&P Municipal Bond 20 Year High Grade Index. The index requires use of discount rates of 3.93% as of June 30, 2024, and 3.65% as of June 30, 2023. The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 3.93%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. The City does not participate in a trust fiduciary fund as the OPEB plan is unfunded and there are no assets.
