Employees Covered. As of the measurement date June 30, 2023, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms for the Miscellaneous Plan:
Contributions. Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for the Plan are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. 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 City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employees that are classified as unrepresented management or unrepresented confidential contribute 1.5% of pay toward the cost of the City’s share of the annual required contribution. During the measurement period, the City contributions totaled $11,050,993.
Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for the Miscellaneous 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, 2023, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability in the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions:

Note 8: Pension Plans (Continued)
Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the Plan was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate for each Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) will be made at the current member contribution rates that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, each Plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members for all plans in the PERF. 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 for the Plan.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which bestestimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated and, combined with risk estimates, are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the longterm projected portfolio return.
The table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class.

Note 8: Pension Plans (Continued)
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions As of June 30, 2024, the City reported a net pension liability for its proportionate share of the Plan’s net pension liability of $86,327,322.
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2023, and the total pension liability for the Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability as of the measurement dates of June 30, 2022 and 2023 was as follows:
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City recognized pension expense of $10,798,207 for the Safety Plan. At June 30, 2024, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

Note 8: Pension Plans (Continued)
Pension contributions subsequent to the measurement date of $10,004,005 are reported as deferred outflows of resources and will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30,2025. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized as pension expense as follows:
Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2022, actuarial valuations for the Safety Plan was determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the Plan was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate for the Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) will be made at the current member contribution rates that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, each Plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members for all plans in the PERF. 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 for each Plan.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which bestestimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

Note 8: Pension Plans (Continued)
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated and, combined with risk estimates, are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the longterm projected portfolio return.
The table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. These rates of return are net of administrative expenses.
Sensitivity of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate. The following presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability, calculated using the discount rate for the Plans as well as what the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage point lower or 1-percentage point higher than the current rate:

Defined Contribution Pension Plan
The City makes bi-weekly contributions to a 401a retirement plan (Plan) for each department head. The current contribution on behalf of each Participant equals 1% of base earnings up to the maximum allowable by law. In addition, each Participant may contribute up to 14% of earnings to the Plan. Prior to August 2018, non-department head management employees also participated in the Plan and received a 1% employer contribution.
Employees are fully vested in the City’s contributions (and interest allocated to the employee’s account) at all times. The Plan is administered by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). The Plan assets are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries. The City has the right at any time to terminate the Plan by resolution of the City Council.
During the fiscal year, the City contributed $21,418 to the Plan and Participants contributed $151,939. There were no Plan forfeitures. As of June 30, 2023, the City had $0 payable to the Plan.
The City makes bi-weekly contributions to 401a retirement plans (Appointed Officials Plans) for the City Manager and City Attorney.

In the year 2022, The City evaluated the requirements of GASB Statement No. 97, Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans and determined that plan didn’t meet the criteria to be reported as a fiduciary activity, as required by the above mentioned GASB Statements.
Note 9: Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
General Information about OPEB
Plan Description. The City’s primary other post-employment benefits (OPEB) cost obligation is for retiree health benefits under its election to participate in the CalPERS Health Benefit Program, an agent multiple-employer defined benefit OPEB plan, under the “unequal contribution option.” The City entered the CalPERS medical insurance program in 1993 under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the City entered into an agreement to participate in an irrevocable trust to provide a funding mechanism for retiree health benefits. The Trust, California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), is administered by CalPERS and managed by a separately appointed board, which is not under control of the City Council. This Trust is not considered a component unit of the City.
Benefits Provided. The City provides post-employment heath care insurance, in accordance with Memorandums of Understanding, to all employees who retire from the City upon or after attaining age 50 with at least 5 years of service or disability retirement.
Miscellaneous retires who are PEPRA new hires are eligible at age 52. For each retiree enrolled in a CalPERS medical plan, the employer will pay the required statutory PEMHCA minimum, which is $149 per month per retiree in calendar year 2022 and $151 per month per retiree in calendar year 2023. This amount will increase with the health care component of CPI, as announced by the CalPERS Board each year. The retiree must pay the difference between the premium amount, which depends upon the medical plan benefits selected, and the employer-paid minimum. In addition, the City pays 50% of the premium up to the retiree’s age of 65 for one grandfathered executive management retiree hired prior to August 2000.
There is no OPEB provided to terminated vested employees. The employer-paid amount will continue to a surviving spouse if the retiree elects a CalPERS survivor annuity. There are no required employee contributions, although the retiree must pay the difference between the premium and the employer-paid amount. The employer is contributing the full Actuarially Determined Contribution. 120

Contributions. The contribution requirements of the plan members and the City are established and may be amended by the City.
The City prefunds the plan through CERBT by contributing at least 100% of the annual required contribution. For the measurement period, the City’s contributions totaled $1,427,129.
Net OPEB Liability
The City’s net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2023 and the total OPEB liability used to the calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2023, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25%. 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. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

Note 12: Joint Ventures, Jointly Governed Organizations and Operating Agreements The City participates in three multi-governmental organizations: the Whale Rock Commission, the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority, and the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments. The City also has an operating agreement related to Nacimiento Water Supply Project. The following provides a general description of each of these agencies and operating agreements along with a summary of financial information and indebtedness:
Whale Rock Commission
General Description. The Whale Rock Commission (Commission) was established on December 12, 1960 to govern the operations of the Whale Rock Reservoir. The Commission is composed of six voting members and two non-voting members: three voting members are appointed by the City; one is appointed by California Polytechnic State University; one by California Men's Colony; and one by the Director of Finance, State of California. The two non-voting members are position appointments: the Director of Water Resources, State of California; and the Water Superintendent, City of San Luis Obispo. The Commission is authorized by its respective agencies to establish policies for the operation of the Reservoir, to contract for the sale of excess water, and to approve the annual budget.
The City, in accordance with established policies of the Commission, operates and maintains the Reservoir; prepares and recommends the annual budget; and maintains the fiscal records and funds of the Commission. The Whale Rock Custodial Fund is used to account for the Commission's ongoing operating activities. Ownership in the Reservoir is as follows: 55.05%, City of San Luis Obispo; 33.71%, California Polytechnic State University; and 11.24%, California Men's Colony. The City's share of the Commission's expenses is recorded as expenses of the Water Fund. All receipts and disbursements of the Commission are included in an Custodial Fund.
Financial Information and Indebtedness. In 1959, the City issued general obligation bonds to secure a future water supply to City residents. Some of the proceeds from the bonds were used to participate with the State of California in the development of the Reservoir. Participation, which is in proportion to the original investment, includes continued operation and maintenance of the facilities. Such indebtedness was directly attributable to provision of water service, and as such, all related indebtedness was recorded in the City's Water Enterprise Fund. These bonds matured in August 1999.
The City's original investment in the Reservoir project aggregates $3,900,000 and was amortized on a straight-line basis over thirtyfive years. Separate financial statements are available from the Whale Rock Commission, 879 Morro Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.
The following segment financial information for the Whale Rock Commission and the Water Fund’s related investment in the joint venture is presented as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024:

Note 12: Joint Ventures, Jointly Governed Organizations and Operating Agreements (Continued) San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority
General Description. The City is a member of the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority (Authority), which was established on February 27, 1990, to operate a joint public transportation system. The Authority is composed of the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, and San Luis Obispo, as well as the County of San Luis Obispo.
The Authority is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of representatives of each of the seven cities, in addition to the five members of the Board of Supervisors. Each member of the Board has one vote. The Board has the authority to establish policies for the operation of the transit system and to adopt an annual budget. Each member makes an annual contribution to the agency for funding the adopted budget.
Financial Information. The City allocates a portion of its Transportation Development Act funds directly to the Authority. During 2022-23 the City contributed approximately $1,068,248 of these funds to the Authority. The City's share of assets, liabilities, and fund equity has not been calculated by the Authority and therefore is not known to the City; however, based on the City's limited financial participation in the Authority, any such assets, liabilities, or equity are not believed to be significant to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Separate financial statements are available from the Authority, 179 Cross Street, Suite A, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.

General Description. In 2004, the Council adopted a resolution approving an agreement with the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) for the design, construction, and operations of the facilities required for the delivery of 5,482 acre-feet of water per year to the City of San Luis Obispo from the Nacimiento Water Supply Project (Project).
The agreement includes conditions relative to the costs associated with the project and how these costs will be shared and paid by the participants in the project.
Each project participant, including the City, has entered into an agreement to provide for the development, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the Project. The agreement is a “take-or-pay” obligation: the City is obligated to pay amounts specified in the agreement whether or not water is delivered. The City is required to pay an amount equal to its share of various capital expenses relating to the funding of design costs, engineering, planning, environmental mitigation, equipping new facilities and/or construction efforts, accounting services, project administration and management, installation, grading, razing and building the Project. The City is also required to pay for its share of operating and maintenance costs. The City records these payments as operating expenses in its water enterprise fund.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
Note 12: Joint Ventures, Jointly Governed Organizations and Operating Agreements (Continued) The City is required to make payments under its agreement solely from the revenues of its water system. The City agreed to establish and collect rates and charges from the customers of the City’s water enterprise fund at levels sufficient to produce revenues equal to: (1) the costs of operating and maintaining the City’s water enterprise; plus (2) the contract payments, calculated in accordance with the delivery contract including the amounts allocated as the City’s share of capital projects installment debt service; plus (3) the coverage factor for the amounts allocated as the City’s share of capital projects installment debt service; and (4) under certain circumstances, that the City understands and agrees that the delivery contract may impose a surcharge following the occurrence of any payment default.
Financial Information. In September 2007, the District sold water revenue bonds in the amount of $196 million for the construction of the Project. In addition, the District sold water revenue bonds in the amount of $182 million. These bonds were refinanced in May 2018. Based on the City’s share of construction costs, debt service and operating and maintenance, the following summarizes the City’s Project obligations for 2023-24 and five-year projections for the 2018 bonds that will remaining outstanding following the refunding.
Separate financial statements are available from the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, 1050 Monterey Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.
Note 13: Risk Management
California Joint Powers Insurance Authority
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Authority). The Authority is composed of 119 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates through a nine-member Executive Committee.
Each member pays an annual contribution to cover estimated losses for the coverage period. This initial funding is paid at the beginning of the coverage period. After the close of the coverage period, outstanding claims are valued. A retrospective deposit computation is then conducted annually thereafter until all claims incurred during the coverage period are closed on a pool-wide basis. This subsequent cost reallocation among members based on actual claim development can result in adjustments of either refunds or additional deposits required.
The total funding requirement for self-insurance programs is estimated using actuarial models and prefunded through the annual contribution. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on exposure (payroll) and experience (claims) relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool. Additional information regarding the cost allocation methodology is provided below.

Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
General Liability and Workers’ Compensation. The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), which provides joint protection programs and group purchased insurance for public entities covering liability, errors and omission losses, auto liability, employment practices liability, crime, pollution, workers’ compensation injuries and coverage for city-owned property. The City has a retained limit of $500,000 per occurrence for liability and no retained limit for workers’ compensation.
Liabilities of the City are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonable estimated.
Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). The result of the process to estimate the claims liability is not an exact amount as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines and damage awards. Accordingly, claims are re-evaluated periodically to consider the effects of economic and social factors. The estimate of the claims liability also includes amounts for incremental claim adjustment expenses related to specific claims and other claim adjustment expenses regardless of whether or not they are attributable to specific claims. Estimated recoveries, for example from salvage or subrogation, are another component of the claim’s liability estimate.
During the past three fiscal years, none of the protection programs experienced settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were also no significant reductions in pooled or insured coverage in 2023-24. CJPIA covers workers’ compensation claims up to a pooled limit of $2 million per occurrence and provides excess coverage to statutory limits with a group purchased commercial insurance policy. The City pays an annual contribution to CJPIA and may share in any member refunds in the event that pooled funding exceeds the cost of pooled claims and claim-related expenses, or the City may be required to pay additional contributions based upon CJPIA’s operating results.
Financial statements of CJPIA may be obtained from its administrative office located at 8081 Moody Street, La Palma, California 90623, or by calling (562) 467-8700.
Additional claims and lawsuits have been filed against the City in the normal course of business. It is reasonably possible that the City may be liable for claims not to exceed $500,000. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.
Adequacy of Protection
During the past three fiscal years, none of the above programs of protection experienced settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were also no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage from coverage in 2023-
24. Self-Insurance
The City retains the risk for workers’ compensation losses incurred prior to joining the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority.
Several member agencies of the now dissolved Central Coast Cities Self-Insurance Fund continue to participate in a non-risk sharing arrangement for claims management and the purchase of excess insurance. The participating agencies share a set of common guidelines and annually set aside premiums to pay their individual losses within their self-insured retentions. Losses are debited and investment income is credited to specific member accounts. The City has not incurred any losses in excess of insurance coverage.
Claims liabilities in the governmental funds are generally liquidated by the General Fund. 129

Note 13: Risk Management (Continued)
The last actuarial study to determine the undiscounted outstanding claims liability was completed for the year ended June 30, 2024.
The liability was estimated based on the actuarial study and considered claims asserted and paid, and the time limitations for filing claims. There are no estimates for claims incurred but not reported because the time limit for filing claims has elapsed. The estimated asset at June 30, 2024 is calculated as follows:
Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The City is presently involved in certain matters of litigation that have arisen in the normal course of conducting City business. City management believes, based upon consultation with the City Attorney, that these cases, in the aggregate, are adequately covered by insurance and not expected to result in a material adverse financial impact on the City.
Grant Awards
Under the terms of Federal and State grants, audits may be required, and certain costs may be questioned as not being appropriate expenditures under the terms of the grants. Such audits could lead to requests for reimbursement to the grantor agencies. City management believes disallowances, if any, will be immaterial.
Regional Transit Authority Pension Expense
The City is presently a member agency of the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority (SLORTA) (see Note 14), a duly established Joint Powers Authority (JPA) comprised of all local cities and the County of San Luis Obispo. The City’s contractual contribution to that entity is approximately 18% of the total expense. The City was advised that the Regional Transit Authority was working with CalPERS to determine whether it is required to enroll certain previously unenrolled transit employees in the CalPERS pension system and whether the entity may be liable for obligations related to the failure to enroll those employees and make contributions on their behalf. On December 10, 2019 the County Board of Supervisors approved a contract for participation of the JPA in the San Luis Obispo County Pension Trust and the Employees Retirement Plan. The current amount of potential CalPERS unfunded liability for the JPA may reach as high as $4 million. It is not anticipated that the City’s annual payment to the JPA will increase to satisfy this unfunded liability.
Self-insurance activity as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024 is summarized is as follows:
Interest earnings 14,417 $
Claims expense 50,962
Estimated liability for reported claims and settlement expenses (407,770) Assets on deposit 566,131

Note 18: Prior Period Adjustments
During 2024, the City recorded the following prior period adjustments:
(1) Error correction to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund - Beginning fund balance of the CDBG fund was restated due to the reclassification of prior year deferred inflows of resources to fund balance. The City recorded expenditures when issuing the loans in the prior years and recorded deferred inflows of resources and loan receivables when recording the loans correctly. An adjustment was necessary to properly restate the deferred inflows of resources. Therefore, deferred inflows of resources, were overstated by $1,112,944, and net position was understated by $1,112,944 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. (2) Error correction to Transportation Impact Fee Fund and MASP Park Fund – Cash and fund balances were restated to record the pay back of interfund borrowing between Transportation Impact Fee Fund and MASP Park Fund. The payback of the interfund borrowing from MASP Park fund to Transportation Impact Fee Fund was not recorded in the past and adjustment was necessary to properly restate the cash and fund balances. Therefore, cash in the Transportation Impact Fee fund was overstated by $1,504,676, fund balance was overstated by $1,504,676 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, cash in the MASP fund was understated by $1,504,676, fund balance was understated by $1,504,676 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The net impact of this error correction on the fund balance of nonmajor funds is zero. 6/30/2023

However, offers of Two Years Additional Service Credit (a.k.a. Golden Handshakes)that occurred after the June 30, 2019 valuation date are not included in the figures above, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material by the plan actuary.Changes in assumptions.There were no assumption changes in 2023. Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate ofreturn, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project comp ound (geometric)returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERSExperience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement rate June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2021, 7.65 % for measurement dates June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2016 and 7.50% for measurementdate June 30, 2014. 139

The City maintains the following nonmajor governmental funds:
Special Revenue Funds
The City has established the following ten special revenue funds in order to account for the proceeds from revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes. Budgets are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) Fund . This fund has been established to account for the receipt of a surcharge derived from a supplemental assessment upon businesses within the Downtown Business Improvement District’s boundaries. Pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Code, this surcharge is equal to $150.00 per year. Expenditures from the fund are limited to four basic purposes: decorating public places within the downtown; promoting public events in the downtown core; promoting trade activities; and improving parking in the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund . The State of California has designated 1/4% of the sales tax levied statewide for local transportation purposes. Funding for this program was provided during the 1971 legislative session with the enactment of the Transportation Development Act, which extended the State sales tax to include purchases of gasoline. Revenues allocated to the City of San Luis Obispo under this program are divided into two categories: Article 3 funds, which are restricted for the improvement and maintenance of street systems including pedestrian and bicycle facilities; and Article 4 funds, which are restricted for public transit systems and are recorded directly in the Transit Fund. Under the City's Financial Plan policies, all TDA Article 3 revenues are allocated for alternative transportation purposes. The purpose of this fund is to account for these revenues.

The surcharge is equal to 2% of gross room rents. Expenditures from the fund are limited to the marketing and promotion of tourism.

The City assumes that Market Values are equal to total Assessed Valuation. 2) For comparison purposes, gross assessed valuations include homeowners' exemptions. Although these exemptions reduce property tax collections, the revenue loss is reimbursed by the State of California. As such, gross assessed valuation is the revenue base used in establishing property tax-related revenues.

The secured property tax roll is composed of ad valorem taxes as well as special assessments, and is calculated by the San Luis Obispo County Auditor-Controller. The San Luis Obispo County Tax Collector is responsible for all property tax roll collections within the City of San Luis Obispo. The amount reported is before the SB2557 County administrative fees of approximately 3% of total property tax revenues.2. The secured levy does not include supplemental assessments, unsecured tax revenues, or prior year adjustments, which can be significant. For example, in 2012-13 revenue to the City from supplemental assessments was $99,500 and $215,100 from unsecured. A one-time refund was received from the County Auditor-Controller, refunding $632,800 representing prior overcharges for the SB2557 fee. Property tax revenues totaled $8,740,762.3. The City has elected the Teeter Plan method of property tax collection, whereby the County remits 100% of taxes levied and pursues collection and retains any delinquent taxes and related penalties and interest.Source: San Luis Obispo County Auditor-Controller - 2023-24 Property Tax Estimates and Delinquencies Report Schedule 10

1. The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law was enacted in 1955. The law authorizes cities and counties to impose a sales and use tax. Effective January 1, 1962, all cities and counties have adopted ordinances for the State Board of Equalization to collect the local tax.
2. Sales tax only. The use tax was enacted effective July 1, 1935.
3. In March 2004, a State ballot measure was passed issuing deficit reduction bonds for State purposes. Funding was provided effective July 1, 2004 by repealing 25% of the local 1% sales tax and then adopting a new 1/4-cent sales tax dedicated to repayment of the deficit reduction bonds. Cities and counties would then be "made whole" by the State from increased property tax allocations via reduced contributions to ERAF. This "triple flip" is theoretically revenue-neutral, and as such, the effective rate for revenue purposes remains at 1%.
4. In November 2006, voters in San Luis Obispo approved a local revenue measure (LRM) increasing the City tax rate by 1/2%, which became effective April 1, 2007. The sales tax measure has a sunset provision of 8 years. The local Sales Tax was extended as Measure G in the November 2014 election for 8 years.
5. Proposition 30, The Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012 , was approved by California voters in November 2012 to temporarily increase the sales and use tax by 0.25%. The sales and use tax imposed by Proposition 30 expired December 31, 2016.
6. In November 2020, voters in San Luis Obispo approved a local revenue measure (LRM) increasing the local sales tax to 1.5% with an effective date of April 1, 2021. The local sales tax measure has no sunset provision and replaced the 2014 Measure G.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund and the Transit Fund of the City of San Luis Obispo, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the TDA Fund and the Transit Fund, as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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. 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.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
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 TDA fund and the Transit Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS 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, 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 TDA fund and the Transit Fund’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 TDA fund and the Transit Fund’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.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the TDA Fund and the Transit Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City, as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the changes in its financial position or where applicable, its cash flows for the years ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, 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. Our opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by this missing information.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund and the Transit Fund’s financial statements. The budgetary comparison schedule is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements.
The budgetary comparison schedule on page 21 is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the budgetary comparison schedule is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 24, 2024 on our consideration of the TDA fund and the Transit Fund’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 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 TDA fund and the Transit Fund’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund and Transit Fund Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2024 and 2023
Note 1 - THE REPORTING ENTITY
The City of San Luis Obispo (the City) operates a fixed route public transportation system within the City limits and to the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly). Vehicle operations and vehicle maintenance are provided under contract by a private transportation company. Nonvehicle-related support and administrative services are provided by City staff.
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund (the Fund) of the City of San Luis Obispo, California (the City) is a special revenue fund created by resolution of the City Council to account for the revenues received pursuant to the TDA. Such revenues allocated under specific state statutes are legally restricted to financial expenditures made of the development and construction of local streets and roads, including pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
The Transit Fund is an enterprise fund of the City created by resolution of the City Council to account for the revenues received pursuant to the Transportation Development Act (TDA), Federal Transit Authority (FTA) and the revenues received from the transit operations described above. Such revenues are allocated under specific statutes and are legally restricted to finance expenditures made for transit operations, the development of public transportation systems and transportation planning. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for the same purpose, it is the City’s policy to use restricted funds first.
Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation The Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund’s financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when measurable and available.
Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay the liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers interest and grant revenues earned but not received as susceptible to accrual under this method. Expenditures are generally recognized at the time liabilities are incurred.
The Transit Fund’s financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred regardless of the timing of related cash flows. The Fund distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the Fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Fund are charges to customers for transit services. Operating expenses for the Fund include cost of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses, including non-exchange transactions such as TDA and FTA grants.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the Transit Fund receives value without directly giving equal value in return, include grants.
Revenue from grants is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the fiscal year when the resources are to be used or the fiscal year when use is first permitted; matching requirements, in which the Transit Fund must provide local resources to be used for a specific purpose; and expenditures requirements, in which the resources are provided to the Transit Fund on a reimbursement basis. 11

Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund and Transit Fund Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2024 and 2023
Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Annual Financial Statements
The financial statements of the Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund and the Transit Fund are intended to reflect the financial position; results of operations and cash flows where applicable in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the City of San Luis Obispo, California.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation Special Revenue Fund – Transportation Development Act Fund This fund is used to account for the City’s share of Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 funds that are legally restricted for the improvement and maintenance of street systems including pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Under the City's Financial Plan policies, all TDA Article 3 revenues are allocated for alternative transportation purposes. The purpose of this fund is to account for these revenues.
Enterprise Fund - Transit
This fund is used to account for the operation and maintenance of the City’s transit system. TDA Article 4 and FTA allocations for transit operations are accounted for in this fund.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash balances in checking and money market accounts and short- term investments, with an original maturity of three months or less. Investments which are in the City’s internal investment pool are also treated as cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows.
Amounts Due from Other Governments
Generally, amounts due from other governments are recorded as revenues when earned. However, when the use of funds is the prime factor for determining eligibility for grants, revenue is accrued when the related expenses have been made on an approved grant.
Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 20 years. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $25,000. Detailed capital assets can be found in Note 5.

Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund and Transit Fund Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2024 and 2023
Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Net Pension Liability, Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows The City recognizes a net pension liability, which represents the City’s excess of the total pension liability over the fiduciary net position of the pension reflected in the actuarial reports provided by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans). The City has allocated a proportionate share of the net pension liability, deferred outflows, deferred inflows and pension expense to the Transit Fund. The net pension liability is measured as of the City’s prior fiscal year-end.
Changes in the net pension liability are recorded, in the period incurred, as pension expense or as deferred inflows of resources or deferred outflows of resources depending on the nature of the change. The changes in the net pension liability that are recorded as deferred inflows of resources or deferred outflows of resources (that arise from changes in actuarial assumptions or other inputs and differences between expected or actual experience) are amortized over the weighted average remaining service life of all participants in the respective pension plan and are recorded as a component of pension expense beginning with the period in which they are incurred.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s CalPERS Plans and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Projected earnings on pension investments are recognized as a component of pension expense.
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Liability, Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows For purposes of measuring net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s plan (OPEB Plan), and additions to or deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position, have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the California Employer’s Retiree Benefit Trust Program (CERBT). For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported OPEB 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 and 2021
Measurement Dates June 30, 2023 and 2022
Measurement Periods July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023,
and July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022
Fund Balance
The TDA Fund’s financial statements report fund balance in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purpose for which amounts in the funds can be spent. The Fund does not have a fund balance in the current fiscal year, therefore classification is not necessary. However, GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, identifies five components of fund balance – nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned.
Nonspendable - This component 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. 13
City of San Luis Obispo, California
Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund and Transit Fund Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2024 and 2023
Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Fund Balance (Continued)
Restricted - This component consists of amounts that have constraints placed on them either externally by third-parties (creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments) or by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Enabling legislation authorizes the City to assess, levy, charge or otherwise mandate payment of resources (from external resource providers) and includes legally enforceable requirements (compelled by external parties) that those resources be used only for the specific purposes stipulated in the legislation.
Committed - This component consists of amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by minute order authorized by the City Council. Also included in this component are encumbrances which represent legal and binding obligations for the acquisition of future goods and services. Those committed amounts established by minute order cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council adopts a new minute order so directing. With respect to encumbered amounts, the City may take steps to cancel the order for goods or services and thereby terminate the obligation.
Assigned - This component consists of amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The City Manager or Director of Finance are authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose.
Constraints imposed on the use of assigned amounts can be removed with no formal Council actions.
Unassigned - This classification represents amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes.
Fund Balance Spending Policy
The City follows a practice in which restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances are spent when more than one amount is available for a specific purpose. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources (committed, assigned and unassigned) as they are needed. When unrestricted resources (committed, assigned and unassigned) are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use committed resources first, then assigned, and then unassigned as they are needed.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City has received national recognition for its use of a two-year Financial Plan and budgetary process that emphasizes longrange planning and effective program management. Significant features of the City’s two-year Financial Plan include the integration of Council goal-setting into the budgetary process and the extensive use of formal policies and measurable objectives.
The Financial Plan includes operating budgets for two years and a capital improvement plan (CIP) for five years.
Under this multi-year approach, appropriations continue to be made annually; however, the Financial Plan is the foundation for preparing the budget for the second year. Additionally, unexpended operating appropriations from the first year may be carried over for specific purposes into the second year with the approval of the City Manager.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. 14

June 30, 2024 and 2023
Note 3 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS
Transportation Act Development (TDA) Fund and Transit Fund are pooled with the City’s cash and investments in order to generate optimum interest income. The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. Cash and cash equivalents are combined with investments and displayed as Cash and Investments.
At June 30, 2024 and 2023, cash and investments consisted of the following:
Investment Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. Investment securities classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. Investment securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using matrix pricing or market corroborated pricing. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices.
Custodial Credit Risk – Deposits
Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned to it. Cash balances held in banks are insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation. For custodial credit risk associated with deposits, the City follows California Government Code, which requires California financial institutions to secure the City’s deposits by pledging government securities as collateral. The market value of the pledged securities must equal 110% of the City’s deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure the City’s deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes equal to 150% of the City’s deposits. All deposits held by financial institutions are fully insured or collateralized with securities, held by the pledging financial institutions’ trust departments in the City’s name.
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments for all funds under its direct daily control. Funds held by outside fiscal agents under provisions of bond indentures are maintained separately.
Interest earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated quarterly to the various funds based on the respective fund’s average quarterly cash balance. Interest earned from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to such funds.
Interest Rate Risk
This is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates. In accordance with its policies in the Investment Management Plan, the City mitigates interest rate risk by:
Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market before maturity. Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities.
The City’s investment policy also includes portfolio maturity targets. A minimum of 20% of the portfolio will be invested in securities maturing in one year or less. Up to 80% of the portfolio can be invested in securities with a maturity over one year, with no more than 10% of the portfolio invested in securities with a maturity over five years. 2024 2023

June 30, 2024 and 2023
Note 3 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS, Continued Credit Risk
This is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer. The City’s policies to mitigate credit risk include:
Limiting investments to the safest types of securities. The California Government Code limits the investment vehicles available to local agencies. The credit risk of these securities is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries and advisors with which the City will do business.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s policies contained in the Investment Management Plan provide guidelines (by type of investment that limits either the dollar amount, the percent of the portfolio or the maturity term) for diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized.
The City’s Investment Management Plan outlines the following criteria related to portfolio diversification:
No more than 5% of the City’s portfolio (exclusive of government agency issues or LAIF) shall be placed with any financial institution.
No more than 25% of the City’s portfolio shall be invested in collateralized certificates of deposit issued by financial institutions.
Certificates of deposit (negotiable and collateralized) placed by the City shall not constitute more than 15% of the total assets of the institution; and negotiable certificates of deposit will only be placed with institutions with total assets in excess of $200 million and that maintain a ratio of equity to total assets of at least 5%.

Note 7 - FARE REVENUE RATIOS
For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 the City had fare revenue ratios of 121%, and 159%, respectively, computed as follows:
Due to the global pandemic, the California legislature passed AB 90 and AB 149. AB 90 prohibits the imposition of a penalty on an operator that does not maintain the required ratio of fare revenues to operating cost during the 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2023-24 fiscal years. AB 149 extends the penalty exemption through the fiscal year 2023-24 as well as authorizes transit operators to include federal grant funds as local funds for the purpose of computing fare revenue ratios.
TDA regulations require a minimum ratio of 20% for a municipality the size of the City. The City is in compliance with the applicable TDA regulations for the year ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

Note 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Regional Transit Authority Pension Expense
The City is presently a member agency of the San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority (see ACFR Note 10), a duly established Joint Powers Authority (JPA) comprised of all local cities and the County of San Luis Obispo. The City’s contractual contribution to that entity is approximately 18% of the total expense. The City was advised that the Regional Transit Authority was working with CalPERS to determine whether it is required to enroll certain previously unenrolled transit employees in the CalPERS pension system and whether the entity may be liable for obligations related to the failure to enroll those employees and make contributions on their behalf. On December 10, 2019 the County Board of Supervisors approved a contract for participation of the JPA in the San Luis Obispo County Pension Trust and the Employees Retirement Plan. The current amount of potential CalPERS unfunded liability for the JPA may reach as high as $4 million. It is not anticipated that the City’s annual payment to the JPA will increase to satisfy this unfunded liability.
