Transmittal Letter………………………………………………………….
December 20, 2024
Members of the Council and Citizens of San Marcos:
It is our pleasure to present the City of San Marcos (City) fiscal year 2023-24 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). This report has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and has been audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants.
The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City are free of material misstatement. The independent audit 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, if any, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The auditors concluded that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified (clean) opinion. The independent auditors’ report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
The ACFR consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile su fficient reliable information for the preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatements. Management asserts that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
GAAP requires that a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis be provided along with the financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction.

CITY OF SAN MARCOS PROFILE
The City was incorporated in 1963 and chartered on July 4, 1994. According to historical legends, the Spaniards, while pursuing the Native Americans in the late 18 th century, came upon a fertile valley, which was named Los Vallecitos de San Marcos. Today, often nicknamed still as “Valley of Discovery”, the City offers rugged beautiful rolling hills, bustli ng commercial districts, and leading educational institutions. The City is located approximately twenty-four miles north of downtown San Diego and ninety miles south of Los Angeles, in the northern coastal/inland region of San Diego County (County).
The Cerros Las Posas, Merriam and San Marcos foothill s and a series of valleys are the chief topographic features.
The City is accessible to San Diego, Orange, Imperial, San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles counties. It is situated along the State Highway 78 corridor (78 Corridor) and is bordered by Escondido to the east, Vista to the north and west, Carlsbad to the south and west and unincorporated areas of the San Diego County to the north and south. The City’s sphere of influence covers approximately thirty- three square miles. The City continues to be the smallest yet fastest growing population along the 78 Corridor and is one of the highest in median household income along the 78 corridor. The most current population and income for the City can be found in the Community Profile on the City’s Economic Development website.
The City delivers a full range of municipal services under the Council-Manager form of government, and offers an outstanding quality of life for its residents. Public facilities include an expanding citywide trail system, a variety of parks, recreational facilities and a County library. The City provides a diverse array of services for seniors and youth, extensive continuing educational programs, concerts, team sports, and special events.
The City Council is comprised of five council members for a term of four years, on a staggered basis.
The Mayor is directly elected, at large, for a four-year term. The City Council appoints the City Manager and the City Attorney. The City Council, the City’s chief policy-making body, enacts laws known as ordinances, sets policies known as resolutions, and adopts an annual Operations and Capital Improvement Program budget. The City Council also oversees a variety of advisory commissions, such as the Traffic Commission and Planning Commission, to address specific issues. These advisory commission members are appointed by the City Council.
iii
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
Education & Employment
The City is home to several academic institutions with the second highest educational attainment among the five 78 corridor cities. The City is home to the San Marcos Unified School District (SMUSD), which has achieved local and state recognition for excellence. Several higher education institutions, including California State University San Marcos and Palomar College, also have established campuses in the City. The growth of these academic institutions contributes to the creation, support and sustainability of a professional workforce within the City.
The City is home to a diverse and well-balanced base of employers including wholesale trade, retail trade, food services, healthcare, and manufacturing. The City is home to a labor force of 43,100 and over 4,200 businesses. Though post-pandemic staffing and supply chain issues have improved, the unemployment rate has reportedly increased at 4.7% in October 2024, still lower than the 5.4% reported for the entire State for the same month.
Real Estate Market
Median home prices in the City have seen an average annual increase of 4.6% over the last 20 years with median home prices increasing to a reported $940,000 in September 2024. This is slightly higher than the median listing home price in the County, which was reported to be $880,000 during the same time.
The City has potential for new development in the future and continues to see a steady stream of housing stock construction at a stable rate compared to other cities throughout the region.
Local Trends
The City continues to create interest in infill development opportunities with new commercial, residential and mixed-use development projects to produce additional revenue streams. The City is currently experiencing an exceptional rate of growth and development, including the mixed-use North City development, with additional housing being developed in the surrounding area as well.
Property tax revenue receipts are expected to increase upwards of 10% over prior year due to new housing construction in the City. Sales tax revenue is estimated to remain steady in fiscal year 2024-25 compared to prior year receipts. Subsequent fiscal year sales tax revenue outlook is currently optimistic after the passage of the City's Measure Q for a one-cent Transactions and Use Tax, which will bring in additional sales tax revenue to fund critical City services and infrastructure as well as maintain the City's quality of life.
iv
Future Capital & Infrastructure Improvements
As North San Diego County grows, the challenges of increased traffic and congestion, affordable housing, and demand for services intensifies. The City Council is focused on balancing these competing priorities within the framework of their strategic themes of dynamic and responsive service delivery, economic development, good governance, quality of life, and planning for the future through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The CIP budget reflects the City’s foreseeable needs over the next five years and is developed in accordance with the City Council adopted policies and priorities in mind. The FY 2024-25 CIP budget appropriation was $16.9 million. Most of the total CIP budget is in the “Creek District” projects, which are intended to mitigate traffic congestion, provide recreational opportunities, and additional services for the community.
Long Range Financial Forecast
A five-year general fund financial forecast is developed as part of the budgeting process, which serves to guide the long-range fiscal planning and budget development process. This forecast details the City’s major revenue and expenditure items to provide long-term trend analysis and projections. While cost of goods and services is expected to increase and outpace the increase in revenue over the next five years, the passage of Measure Q will provide needed funding. On November 5, 2024, City of San Marcos voters passed Measure Q, a one-cent transactions and use tax, that will provide local funding for general government use including public safety and infrastructure improvements. It is anticipated that the City will start to receive funding from Measure Q in April 2025, which will allow for a continued focus on maintaining an exceptional quality of life for San Marcos residents.
The measure is estimated to bring in $20 million of additional revenue per year over 10 years and will fund community needs such as: maintaining fire protection, cleaning and maintaining local parks, fixing potholes, and cleaning and maintaining local lakes, creeks and waterways. The City will allocate the funds to prioritize deferred maintenance of essential City facilities and delayed improvements like a new fire station to address the City’s growing population.
v
The FY 2024-25 Operating budget was approximately $93.4 million, an increase of 3.1% from the prior year adopted budget. While the City is expected to experience increases in general fund expenditure in future years, staff will remain diligent to ensure revenues are sufficient to cover expenses while also maintaining investments in the City’s infrastructure funds. To ensure fiscal health, the City continues to proactively take steps to mitigate increased costs by increasing employee contributions to the CalPERS retirement plan, capping the City’s share of employee healthcare expenses, engaging in best value analysis to economically deliver services, as well as explore other revenue sources. In addition to these adjustments, the City and its collective bargaining groups, through negotiations, work collaboratively toward solutions to help relieve the City’s growing operational obligations and pension burden in the coming years.
The City’s Budget Amendment and Transfer Policy authorizes the City Manager to transfer budgeted amounts between departments or functions as long as the total City Council approved budget is not exceeded. Any budget adjustments that include transfers at the fund level or that result in an increase or decrease that directly affects the service level and/or project scope to the originally approved budget require City Council approval. The City Council’s adoption of the Fiscal Management Policy provides for a general fund contribution to the City’s Infrastructure, City Facility, and City Vehicles and Equipment funds to plan for the future and for rehabilitation and replacement of City infrastructure.
The City is committed to maintaining the General Fund Reserve Policy, which requires unassigned fund balance (liquid, spendable assets) to be divided into three categories designated as the Catastrophic/Emergency Reserve, One-time Recurring Savings/Opportunity Reserve and Economic Contingency/Pension Stabilization Reserve. At year-end, the unassigned general fund balance shall be maintained at a minimum of forty percent of the annual operating expenditures. This figure is then allocated between the Catastrophic/Emergency Reserve (33.3 percent), One-time Recurring Savings/Opportunity Reserve (33.3 percent), and Economic Contingency/Pension Stabilization Reserve (33.3 percent).
The City continues to focus on the City Council strategic goals such as: comprehensive planning and action in land use and transportation, infrastructure funding, economic development and the development of fiscal policies to provide financial resilience and prosperity.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable City Council
City of San M
arcos
San Marcos, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of San Marcos, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, whic h collectively comprise the entity’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each ma jor fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the entity, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position, and, wh ere applicable, cash flows thereof 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 entity and to meet our other ethical responsib ilities, in accor dance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the fi nancial statements, the City adopted provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections . Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
-2-
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair pr esentation 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 pre paration 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 entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, incl uding 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 statem ents as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or erro r, 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 accor dance 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 contro l. Misstatements are consider ed material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggr egate, 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 ma terial misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures resp onsive 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policie s 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 entity’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 Unit ed States of America requi re that the management’s discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such inform ation is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is requir ed 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 hav e applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, wh ich 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 statemen ts, 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.
-3-
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the entity’s basic financial statement s. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and wa s 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 bas ic 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 Included in the Annual Report
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR). 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 statem ents, 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 informat ion 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 20, 2024, on our consideration of entity’s internal control over financ ial 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 inte rnal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’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 entity ’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
-4-
The management of the City of San Marcos (the City) offers readers of the City's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Readers are encouraged to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that is furnished in the letter of transmittal, which can be found beginning on page i of this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $1,093,187,125 (net position). Of this amount, $131,781,421 represents unrestricted net position, which represents the majority of investments in real estate and joint venture.
• The City’s total net position increased $12,018,753 from the prior fiscal year due to an increase in charges for services and property tax revenues, despite a significant decrease in capital contributions and grants.
• At the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $229,833,782, an increase of $3,273,930 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 5.5% of this amount or $12,144,880 is available for spending at the government's discretion (unassigned fund balance).
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance (the total of the committed, assigned, and unassigned components of fund balance) for the General Fund was $38,375,322, or approximately 39.45% of total General Fund expenditures.
OVERVIEW OF THE ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR)
The discussion and analysis provided here is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of San Marcos' basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements consist of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to basic financial statements. This report also includes supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-Wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.

The statement of net position presents financial information on all of the City’s assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the current 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 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 mentioned above distinguish functions of the City 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 include general government, community development, public safety, highways, streets, and parks, and culture and recreation. The business-type activities of the City include Creekside Marketplace.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also the following component units: the San Marcos Community Foundation (Foundation), the San Marcos Public Facilities Authority (Facilities Authority), the California Mobile Home Financing Authority (CAMPFA), and the San Marcos Public Financing Authority (Financing Authority), for which the City is financially accountable. The Foundation, Facilities Authority, CAMPFA, and the Financing Authority, although also legally separate, functions for all practical purposes as a department of the City, and therefore have been included as an integral part of the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 16-18 of this report.
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, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in assessing a governments near-term financing requirements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City’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.
The City 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, the San Marcos Affordable Housing Fund, and the Capital Improvements Fund, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other twenty 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 in the combining and individual fund statements and schedules section of this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget, as noted in the table of contents.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 19-22 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. The City maintains one type of proprietary fund. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for the activity of Creekside Marketplace, a City-owned shopping center and other non-municipal use leased space.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide information for these business-type activities, which is considered to be a major fund of the City.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 23-25 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside of the government. Fiduciary funds are not reported in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.

The City uses these capital assets to provide a variety of services to its citizens. Accordingly, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources used to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City’s net position (29.32%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of $131,781,421 is unrestricted, however, that amount represents the majority of investments in real estate and joint venture.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances for both the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.
The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.
The City’s overall net position increased $12,018,753 from the prior fiscal year. The reasons for this overall increase are discussed in the following sections for governmental activities and business-type activities.

Governmental Activities. During the current fiscal year, net position for governmental activities increased $19,863,637 from the prior fiscal year for an ending balance of $1,006,656,335. The increase in the overall net position of governmental activities is the result of regular current year operating activities along with an increase in investment income, unrestricted, related to improved earnings rates.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City of San Marcos’ governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements.
In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for discretionary use as they represent the portion of fund balance which has not yet been limited to use for a particular purpose by either an external party, the City itself, or a group or individual that has been delegated authority to assign resources for use for particular purposes by the City’s Council.
On June 30, 2024, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $229,838,831, an increase of $3,273,930 in comparison to the prior year. Approximately 5.3% or $12,144,880 of this amount constitutes an unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is either non- spendable, restricted, or assigned to indicate that it is 1) not in spendable form $81,216,522, 2) restricted for particular purposes $125,826,682, or 3) assigned for particular purposes $10,650,747.
Intergovernmental revenues decreased $10,305,336, or 18.9% from the prior year, largely due to a decrease in federal and state grant funding.
Revenue from developer fees decreased $11,048,413, or 80.9% from the prior year, due to developer deferrals and decreased project volume.
Capital outlay expenditures decreased by $17,675,927 or 39.2% mostly due to less work performed on the Via Vera Cruz Bridge, Discovery St., and San Marcos Blvd. intersection improvement projects over the prior year.
Major Funds
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $27,724,575, while the total fund balance increased by $2,663,810 or 2.2% to $122,319,587 largely resulting from decreased general government expenditures and increased transfers from the Enterprise Fund during the Fiscal Year. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total General Fund expenditures.
Unassigned fund balance represents approximately 28.5% of total General Fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents approximately 125.7% of that same amount.

The San Marcos Affordable Housing Special Revenue Fund accounts for funds intended to improve or preserve the community’s supply of affordable housing. This Fund ended the year with a fund balance of $49,682,353. To assist with the construction of affordable housing projects, an additional $4,356,494 was loaned to housing developers during the fiscal year. The additional loaned amount is less than the prior year loaned amount as current year revenues are lower.
The Capital Improvement Capital Projects Fund accounts for capital projects funded with Federal and other grants and developer contributions. This fund ended the year with a deficit fund balance of ($11,526,145), improving over the prior fiscal year due to continued grant reimbursements as well as less work performed across various projects.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The General Fund, as presented in the ACFR and for purposes of financial reporting in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), is comprised of four funds including the General Operating Fund, and the Infrastructure Replacement/Rehabilitation Fund, Facilities Replacement/Rehabilitation Fund, and the Vehicle & Equipment Acquisition/ Replacement Fund (Rehabilitation and Replacement Funds). However, in the City’s approved budget document, these funds are separately presented.
During the year, amendments to the original budgeted appropriations were authorized by the City Council and minor amendments to reallocate appropriations among departments took place. The movement of the appropriations between departments was not significant and did not increase the overall operating budget. Due to continuing post-pandemic economic uncertainty, the City adopted a budget for FY 2023-2024 projecting a deficit of $3.8M. At the time of approval of the mid- year budget adjustments, departments continued to find efficiencies in operations and certain revenue categories were exhibiting better than anticipated performance, leading to a reduction in the anticipated deficit to $2.1M. However, the General Fund expenditure budget came in lower than the amended budget in large part due to delays in some services that were not completed during the Fiscal Year. Additionally, the General Fund revenues exceeded amended budgeted due in part to higher franchise agreement fees and higher property tax revenues.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets. The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2024, amounts to $643,595,601 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, land improvements, buildings, furniture and equipment, infrastructure, and right-to-use assets. The total increase in capital assets for the current fiscal year was $14,522,614 or approximately 2.31% due to an increase in construction in progress offset by capital asset dispositions and depreciation.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
The economy of the City is discussed in the accompanying Transmittal Letter.
At the creation and preparation of the FY 2024-25 budget, the inflation rate returned to an average of 3.5% by March 2024, and the City still managed to increase expenditures at a rate under that amount at 3% over adopted FY 2023-24 expenditure budget. However, ongoing consumer concern around cost of goods and continued economic uncertainty at the state and federal level remained a significant factor behind the City’s conservative approach to revenue budgeting, resulting in anticipated sales tax and charges for services budgets to remain flat to Fiscal Year 2023-2024 adopted budget. While all other revenue categories were anticipated to see increased revenue, it was not sufficient to outpace the deficit observed in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 adopted budget, resulting in the need to use one-time revenue to ensure a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
The City continues to diligently monitor costs of delivering services to the community and remains agile and willing to change methods of service delivery when more efficient methods are available. After a series of best value analyses, several services were shifted from contracted vendors to in-house and vice versa to ensure maximum cost savings. The City also has annually increased employee contributions to CalPERS and capping the City’s share of employee healthcare expenses. While the City still manages to deliver essential services in the wake of the economic impacts created by the global pandemic, it was at the cost of deferring contributions to the City’s infrastructure funds and utilizing one-time revenue opportunities to ensure a balanced budget, which was not sustainable in the long term. Long-term revenue trends continue to remain a significant unknown variable, with the revenue outlook being especially tempered by the City receiving 40% less property tax revenue share than the next lowest City in the north county region.
Therefore, to mitigate the ongoing post-pandemic economic uncertainty, ensure continued investments in City infrastructure, and ensure the long-term fiscal health of the City, the City Council proceeded to place a 1% sales tax measure on the ballot for the November 5, 2024 election, which passed with a majority vote. The revenue related to this measure is anticipated to be received in FY 26 and future years, and the City looks forward to maintaining and enhancing the high quality of life in the community.
Detailed information about the economic analysis, revenue assumptions, and other budgetary process parameters utilized in the budget preparation, can be obtained from the City’s FY 2024- 25 budget book, available on the City’s website or through the Finance Department.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) Description of Reporting Entity
The City of San Marcos, California (the City) was incorporated on January 25, 1963 and became a Charter City on July 4, 1994. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: general government, community development, public safety, highways, streets and parks, public works, and culture and recreation.
These financial statements present the financial status of the City and its component units, which are included in the City’s reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
Component Units
Component units are entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The City is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the City appoints a voting majority of that organization's governing body and (1) it is able to impose its will on that organization, or (2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. The City is also considered to be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent (i.e., it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval from the City). In certain cases, other organizations are included as component units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that their exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the City's operations, and data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. Based on the criteria above, the City has four component units, one discretely presented component unit and three blended component units. These component units are described as follows:
Discretely Presented Component Unit
The San Marcos Community Foundation (Foundation) was established, and by-laws were adopted on October 27, 1987. On June 10, 1988, the San Marcos Community Foundation was incorporated and organized under the California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law for public and charitable purposes. As part of the by-laws, the City of San Marcos is to provide financial and investment services to the Foundation at no cost. The Foundation provides financial and other assistance to worthy programs which benefit the City and residents of San Marcos. Assets of the Foundation are reported in a Permanent Fund as only the interest earnings on the original principal of $1,000,000 can be spent on Foundation activity. The amount that is available for spending is the balance over the original endowment and is reported on the balance sheet as restricted fund balance. No less than 4% or more than 5% of total assets may be distributed in any one year as long as total assets do not fall below the original principal.

A) Description of Reporting Entity, (continued)
Blended Component Units
The San Marcos Public Facilities Authority (Facilities Authority) is a joint powers authority organized pursuant to the State of California Government Code, Section 6500. The Facilities Authority exists under a Joint Exercise of Power Agreement dated June 1989, between the City of San Marcos and the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Marcos (now the Successor Agency). Its purpose is to facilitate financing for public capital improvements of the City and the Agency.
The California Mobilehome Financing Authority (CAMPFA) is a joint powers authority organized pursuant to the State of California Government Code, Section 6500. CAMPFA exists under a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement dated May 9, 1995, between the City of San Marcos and the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Marcos (now the Successor Agency). Its purpose is to facilitate financing for public capital improvements to be owned by its members and to establish a vehicle which may reduce local borrowing costs and promote the greater use of existing and new financial instruments and mechanisms.
The San Marcos Public Financing Authority (Financing Authority) was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated December 14, 1993, a subsequently amended and restated by an Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated January 10, 2012, each by and between the City and the Fire Protection District (FPD).
The Financing Authority was created for the purpose of financing and refinancing of public capital improvements for, and working capital requirements of, the City, the FPD or any other local agency, including community facilities districts created by the City or the FPD, through the construction and/or acquisition by the Financing Authority of such public capital improvements and/or by the Financing Authority of bonds of the City, FPD or any other local agency pursuant the bond purchase agreements and/or the lending of funds by the Financing Authority to the City, the FPD or any other local agency. The Financing Authority is governed by a board of five directors, which is composed of the member of the City Council. The Executive Director of the Financing Authority is the City Manager of the City. The Financing Authority is specifically granted all of the powers specified in the Bond Law, including but not limited to the power to issue bonds and to sell such bonds to public or private purchasers at public or negotiated sale. The Financing Authority is entitled to exercise powers common to its members and necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it was formed. The Financing Authority has no independent staff, and consequently it will be completely dependent upon the officers and employees of the City to administer its program.
Separate financial statements are not prepared for these entities.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (continued)
B) Basis of Presentation
The City’s basic financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States of America.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide Financial Statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City and its blended component units. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on user fees and charges for support.
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 to 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 classified as program revenues are reported as general revenues.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been removed from the government-wide financial statements. However, the effect of interfund services provided and used between functions has not been eliminated in the statement of activities.
Fund Financial Statements
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the Government-Wide Financial Statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported in 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 a ccounting, as are the Proprietary Fund Financial Statements. Custodial funds use the economic resources measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to intergovernmental revenues, the legal and contractual requirement s of the individual programs are used as guidance. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (continued)
C) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation, (continued)
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 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. Reimbursements under state and federal grants are accrued if received within 180 days. Revenues that are accrued generally include real property taxes, sales tax, transient occupancy taxes, franchise fees, vehicle license fees, highway users’ tax, interest, and some state and federal grants.
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.
D) Fund Classifications
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
San Marcos Affordable Housing Fund
The San Marcos Affordable Housing Fund accounts for the in-lieu revenue received from developers to provide for affordable housing. The fund also accounts for the low and moderate income housing receivables of the former City of San Marcos Redevelopment Agency.
Capital Improvements Fund
The Capital Improvements Fund is used to account for capital projects funded with Federal and other grants and developer contributions.
The City reports the following major proprietary fund:
Creekside Marketplace Fund
The Creekside Marketplace Fund accounts for the activities of a City-owned shopping center.

D) Fund Classifications, (continued)
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Private-Purpose Trust Fund
The Private-Purpose Trust Fund accounts for the activities of the Redevelopment Obligation Retirement Funds, which accumulates resources for obligations previously incurred by the former City of San Marcos Redevelopment Agency.
Custodial Funds
The Custodial Funds account for assets held by the City in a custodial capacity. These funds include refundable deposits and also account for the collection of special assessments levied on various Assessment Districts and Community Facilities Districts property owners for the payment of debt service on no commitment debt.
E) Financial Statement Elements
(1) Cash and Investments
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds except for funds required to be held by outside fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures. Each fund’s share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as cash and investments. Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated monthly to the various funds based on the month-end cash and investment balances. Interest income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.
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 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). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type acti vities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.”

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (continued)
E) Financial Statement Elements, (continued)
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
(3) Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors for costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements using the consumption method.
(4) Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale is valued at the lower of cost or market once such amount becomes determinable upon entering into a contract for sale. Land held for resale is reflected as nonspendable or restricted fund balance in the fund financial statements to indicate that the asset does not constitute available, spendable resources.
(5) Notes Receivable
The accompanying financial statements reflect the recording of certain notes receivable that represent loans made to private developers and other parties. In certain cases, the amount of collection is dependent upon future residual receipts to be generated by the property or contingent upon the ability of the owner to sell the property at an amount sufficient to pay all liens against the property.
(6) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position (balance sheet) will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets or fund balance that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position (balance sheet) will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources.
This separate financial element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets or fund balance that applies to future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.

(7) Program Revenues
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions. Internally dedicated resources, such as taxes, are reported as general revenues rather than program revenues.
(8) Property Taxes
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of March 1. Taxes are levied on July 1 and are payable in two installments on December 10 and April 10. The County of San Diego (the County) bills and collects the property taxes and remits them to the City in installments during the year. City property tax revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they result in current receivables.
The County is permitted by State Law (Proposition 13) to levy taxes at 1% of assessed value.
The assessed value can only increase each year by inflation with a maximum of 2%. The City receives a share of this basic levy proportionate to what it received in the 1976 to 1978 period.
(9) Proprietary Funds Operating and Nonoperating Revenues and Expenses
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations.
The principal operating revenues of the City’s proprietary funds are charges to customers for sales and services and lease revenue. The City also recognizes new account charges, late fees and contributions from other agencies as operating revenues. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, and general and administrative expenses. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

(10) Capital and Intangible Assets
Capital assets, which include property, buildings, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) ar e reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements and the enterprise funds in the fund financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial individual cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at the estimated acquisition value at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets are recorded at the value of the liability recognized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the liability.
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.
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives. Depreciation starts the year following acquisition.
Years
Buildings 50
Furniture and Equipment 3-10
Infrastructure 20-50
(11) Compensated Absences
Vacation pay is payable to employees at the time used or upon termination of employment.
Sick leave accrued but unused is cumulative from year to year. Employees are allowed to cash out sick leave hours over certain balances once a year and upon termination. All vacation pay and applicable sick leave is accrued when incurred in the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. All compensated absences are liquidated in the General Fund.
(12) Reclassifications and Eliminations
Interfund balances must generally be eliminated in the government-wide statements, except for net residual amounts due between governmental activities. Amounts involving fiduciary funds should be reported as external transactions. Any allocations must reduce the expenses of the function from which the expenses are being allocated, so that the expenses are reported only once in the function in which they are allocated.

(13) Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method.
Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed during the current period.
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.
(14) Postemployment Benefits other than Pensions (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the total 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 (O PEB Plan) and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis. For this purpose, benefit payments are reported at fair value.
GASB Statement No. 75, which was implemented in the current year, 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, 2022
Measurement Date June 30, 1899
Measurement Period July 1, 1899 to June 30, 1899
(15) Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position and additions to/deductions from the fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the CalPERS Financial Office. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of em ployee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. CalPERS audited financial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website at www.calpers.ca.gov.

Measurement Date (MD) June 30, 1899
Measurement Period (MP) July 1, 1899 to June 30, 1899
(16) Use of Estimates
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and necessarily include amounts based on estimates and assumptions by management. Actual results could differ from those amounts.
(17) Fund Balances
Fund balances are reported in the fund financial statements in the following classifications:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – this includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either not spendable in physical form (such as inventory) or that are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact (such as endowments).
Restricted Fund Balance – this includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by external legal requirements imposed by other governments, external resource providers, or creditors. Restrictions imposed by the City Council do not create restricted fund balance unless the legal document that initially authorized the revenue (associated with that portion of fund balance) also included language that specified the limited use for which the authorized revenues were to be expended.
Committed Fund Balance – this includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action that it employed to previously commit those amounts. If the Council action that limits the use of the funds was separate from the action that initially created the revenues that form the basis for the fund balance, then the resultant fund balance is considered to be committed, not restricted. The City Council considers a resolution to constitute a formal action of the City Council for the purposes of establishing committed fund balance.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (continued)
E) Financial Statement Elements, (continued)
Assigned Fund Balance – this includes amounts that are intended to be used for specific purposes as indicated either by the City Council or by persons to whom the City Council has delegated the authority to assign amounts for specific purposes. The City Council has not delegated such authority to others in the City, and therefore retains its authority to assign fund balance.
Unassigned Fund Balance – this includes negative fund balance in governmental funds and the remaining spendable amounts which are not included in one of the other classifications in the General Fund. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount.
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 that restricted resources will be applied first, followed by (in order of application) committed, assigned, and unassigned resources, in the absence of a formal policy adopted by the City Council.
(18) 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 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.
(19) New Accounting Pronouncements
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City implemented the following GASB standard:
GASB Statement No. 100 – The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections . This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for the effects of changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors within the financial statements.

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 is the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. Investments in any one issuer other than external investment pools and mutual funds that represent 5% or more of the total City investments (or 5% or more of any major fund or non-major funds in the aggregate) must be disclosed. There are no investments at June 30, 2024 that meet the above criteria.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party.

Custodial Credit Risk, (continued)
The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law. The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. The City’s investment policy requires that all securities owned by the City be held in safekeeping by a third party bank trust department acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and by the City. At June 30, 2024, the City deposits (bank balances) were collateralized under California Law.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is part of the Pooled Money Investment Account that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the State Treasurer, Director of Finance and State Controller. The City may invest up to $75 million in LAIF funds. Investments in LAIF are highly liquid, as deposits can be converted to cash within 24 hours without loss of interest. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. All investments with LAIF are secured by the full faith and credit of the State of California. Separate LAIF financial statements are available from the California State Treasurer’s Office on the Internet at http://www.treasurer.ca.gov. Currently, LAIF does not have an investment rating. LAIF has a minimum $5,000 transaction amount in increments of $1,000 with a maximum of 15 transactions (combination of deposits and withdrawals) per month. LAIF requires a one-day prior notice for deposits and withdrawals of $10 million or more.
The value of the City’s investment in this pool is based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). LAIF’s (and the City’s) exposure to risk (credit, market or legal) is not currently available.
Investment in California Asset Management Program Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). CAMP is an investment pool offered by the California Asset Management Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a joint powers authority and public agency created by the Declaration of Trust and established under the provisions of the California Joint Exercise of Powers Act (California Government Code Sections 6500 et seq., or the “Act”) for the purpose of exercising the common power of its Participants to invest certain proceeds of debt issues and surplus funds. The Trust’s activities are directed by a Board of Trustees, all of whom are employees of the California public agencies which are participants in the Trust.

The Pool’s investments are limited to investments permitted by subdivision (a) to (n), inclusive, of Section 53601 of the California Government Code. The City reports investments in CAMP at the fair value amounts provided by CAMP, which is the same as the value of the pool share.
CAMP is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Fair Value Measurements
GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurements and Application, establishes a fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that a government can access at the measurement date, Level 2 inputs consist of inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, that can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets, or market-corroborated inputs, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority and consist of unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. The valuation method used for rental properties is the Leased Fee Market method, which is dependent on the income generated from the rental properties.

All qualified permanent and probationary employees ar e eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan or PERF C) administered by the California Public Empl oyees’ 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 sponsors four rate plans (one miscellaneous and three safety). 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.

A) General Information about the Pension Plans, (continued)
The actual employer payments of $3,268,116 m ade to CalPERS by the City during the measurement period ended June 30, 2023 differed from the City’s proportionate share of the employer’s contributions of $3,111,414 by $156,702, which is being amortized over the expected average remaining service lifetime in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple Employer Plan.
B) 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, 1899, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 1899 rolled forward to June 30, 1899 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is as follows.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability
The collective total pension liability for the June 30, 2023 measurement period was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022, with update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liability to June 30, 2023. The collective total pension liability was based on the following assumptions:
Valuation Date June 30, 2022
Measurement Date June 30, 2023
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Asset Valuation Method: Fair Value of Assets
Actuarial Assumptions:

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 short- term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Asse t Cla ss1
Current Target
Allocation Real Return 1,2
Global equity - cap-weighted 30.0% 4.54%
Global equity - non-cap-weighted 12.0% 3.84%
Private equity 13.0% 7.28%
Treasury 5.0% 0.27%
Mortgage-backed securities 5.0% 0.50%

Private debt 5.0% 3.57%
Real assets 15.0% 3.21%
Leverage -5.0% -0.59%
Total 100%
2 Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study 1An expected inflation of 2.30% is used for this period.
Change of Assumptions
There were no assumption changes in 2023. Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (June 30, 2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. 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. In addition, demographic assumptions and the price inflation assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions.
The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement dates June 30, 2017 through June 30, 2021, 7.65% for measurement dates June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2016, and 7.50% for measurement date June 30, 2014

B) Net Pension Liability, (continued)
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability 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.

C) Changes in Net Pension Liability, (continued)
Amortization of Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources
Under GASB 68, gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time.
The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss:
Net difference between
projected and actual earnings
on pension plan investments
5 year straight-line amortization
All other amounts Straight-line amortization over the expected average remaining services lives (EARSL) of
all members that are provided with benefits
(active, inactive and retired) as of the
beginning of the measurement period
The expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired) in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Plan (PERF C).
The EARSL for PERF C for the measurement period ending June 30, 2023 is 3.8 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 600,538 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 160,073 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired) in PERF C. Inactive employees and retirees have remaining service lifetimes equal to 0. Total future service is based on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event other than receiving a cash refund.
The EARSL for the Plan for the measurement period ending June 30, 2023 is 2.9 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 2,217 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 769 (the to tal number of participants: active, inactive, and retired). Inactive employees and retirees have remaining service lifetimes equal to 0.
Total future service is based on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event other than receiving a cash refund.

A) California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, (continued)
(2) Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. A retrospective adjustment is then conducted annually thereafter, for coverage years 2012-13 and prior. Coverage years 2013-14 and forward are not subject to routine annual retrospective adjustment. The total funding requirement for primary self-insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool.
Primary Liability Program
Claims are pooled separately between police and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $500,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence. Subsidence losses also have a $50 million per occurrence limit. The coverage structure is composed of a combination of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and excess insurance.

17) SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (the Bill) that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action impacted the reporting entity of the City of San Marcos that previously had reported a redevelopment agency within the reporting entity of the City as a blended component unit.
The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the City or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. On January 10, 2012, the City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for the former Redevelopment Agency in accordance with the Bill as part of City resolution number 2012-7607.

17) SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, (continued)
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).
In future fiscal years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligation of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
The Bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, the State Controller is required to order the available assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill.
Management believes, in consultation with legal counsel, that the obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency due to the City are valid enforceable obligations payable by the Successor Agency Trust under the requirements of the Bill. The ability of the Successor Agency to repay the City is dependent upon the sufficiency of available tax revenues to fund such repayment. Revenues are only available for repayment to the extent that all other obligations of the Successor Agency have been provided for in accordance with a complex computation set forth in California Assembly Bill No. 1484. The City believes that there will be sufficient tax revenue to permit eventual repayment in full to the City.
After the date of dissolution, the assets and activities of the dissolved Redevelopment Agency are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City, pending the liquidation and distribution of the assets and liabilities of the former Redevelopment Agency to other taxing entities in accordance with state law.

Net Investment in Direct Financing Lease
In fiscal year 1992-93, the former San Marcos Redevelopment Agency entered into a direct financing lease with the San Marcos Unified School District whereby the Agency had agreed to lease 50% of the Public Works Yard to the School District, with a purchase option at the end of the lease. The lease was amended in fiscal year 2001-02 due to the refinancing of the Civic Center/Public Works Yard Bond issue. Upon the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, this lease was transferred to the Successor Agency of the former Redevelopment Agency.
The terms of the amended lease call for semi-annual payments of $98,906 including interest at

Cooperation Agreement
In fiscal year 1993-94, the former Redevelopment Agency entered into a cooperation agreement with the County of San Diego (the County) to alleviate any financial burden or detriment caused to the County as a result of amending the Redevelopment Plan for Project Area No. 1. The amount owed to the County increases each year by an annual amount equal to the County’s portion of actual Agency tax revenue after deducting the housing set-aside. The unpaid principal and interest amount bears a 4% annual interest rate between fiscal year 1993-94 and the trigger year (the fiscal year in which the amount of tax revenue that has been allocated and paid to the Agency exceeds the amount of $100,000,000) and a floating interest rate thereafter. Payments consisting of 68% of the County’s portion of tax increment are to be made annually beginning in the trigger year. Beginning in fiscal year 2012-13, the Agency is to annually pay the County the following percentages of gross Agency tax revenue:
2018-19 through 2022-23 30%
2023-24 through 2027-28 35%
2028-29 through 2032-33 40%
2033-34 through 2037-38 45%
2038-39 and thereafter 50%
$ 23,275,296
Once the County has been fully paid all principal and interest, if the Agency is still entitled to receive Agency tax revenue, annual payments to the County will equal the County’s portion after deducting the housing set-aside.
Advance from the City of San Marcos
The San Marcos Affordable Housing Fund loaned $24,383,743 to the Fiduciary Funds to fund the fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11 Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) payments.

Changes in Benefit Terms: There were no changes to benefit terms that applied to all members of the Public Agency Pool. Additi onally, the figures above do not include any liability impact that may have resulted from Golden Handshakes that occurred after the June 30, 2021 valuation date, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material to the Public Agency Pool.
Changes in Assumptions: 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 of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as th e expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (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 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions.There were no assumption changes for 2021. For 2020, the Plan adopted a new amortization policy effective with the 2019 actuarial valuation. The new amortization policy shortens the period over which actuarial gains and losses are amortized from 30 years to 20 years with the payments computed as a level dollar amount. In addition, the new policy does not utilize a five-year ramp-up and ramp-down on UAL bases attributable to assumption changes and non-investment gains/losses. The new policy also does not utilize a five-year ramp-down on investment gains/losses. These changes apply only to new UAL bases established on or after June 30, 2019. There were no changes in assumptions in 2019. In 2018, demographic assumptions and inflation rate were changed in accordance to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions December 2017. There were no changes in the discount rate in 2019. In 2017, the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.65 percent to 7.15 percent. In 2016, there were no changes in the discount rate. In 2015, amounts reported reflect an adjustment of the discount rate from 7.5 percent (net of administrative expense) to 7.65 percent (without a reduction for pension plan administrative expense). In 2014, amounts reported were based on the 7.5 percent discount rate.
1 During fiscal year 2017-18, as a result of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 75, Acc ounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other than Pensions (GASB 75), CalPERS reported its proportionate share of activity related to postemployment benefits for participation in the State of California's agent OPEB plan. Accordingly, CalPERS recorded a one-time expense as a result of the adoption of G ASB 75.
Additionally, CalPERS employees participate in various State of California agent pension plans and during fiscal year 2017-18, CalPERS recorded a correction to previously reported financial statements to properly reflect its proportionate share of activity related to pensions in accordance with GA SB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Report for Pensions (GASB 68).

1) BUDGETARY INFORMATION
The City adopts an operating budget annually during June to be effective July 1, for the ensuing fiscal year. Budgeted expenditures are adopted through the passage of a resolution. This resolution constitutes the maximum authorized expenditures for the fiscal year and cannot legally be exceeded except by subsequent amendments of the budget by the City Council.
Budgets for all governmental type funds are adopted on a basis substantially consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Annual budgets are adopted for the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service Funds. Annual budgets are not adopted for all of the Capital Projects Funds. Therefore, budget and actual financial statements have not been prepared for them because a comparison of such budgetary amounts to annual revenues and expenditures is not meaningful.
The City uses an encumbrance system as an extension of normal budgetary accounting for the General, Special Revenue, and Capital Projects Funds. Under this system, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of applicable appropriations. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are recorded as reservations of fund balance since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Outstanding encumbrances at year-end are automatically re-appropriated for the following year. Unencumbered and unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end unless City Council takes action in the form of a resolution to continue the appropriations into the following fiscal year.

(1) In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value of property may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only re-assessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is re-assessed at the purchase price of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above. (2) Tax Rate Area 13-066.

(1) Tax rates are for Tax Rate Area 13-066.
(2) In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which sets the property tax rate at a 1% fixed amount. This 1% is shared by all taxing agencies in which the subject property resides. In addition to the 1% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of various voter-approved bonds.

The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation.
However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown above reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the State.

(1) Water and sewage treatment services are provided primarily by the Vallecitos Water District.
(2) The significant increase in FY2018 was due to equipment acquisition which increased cleaning capabilities.
(3) Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many Parks and Recreation programs were shut down for much of 2020 through June 2021, hence the decrease in number of participants and facility rentals.
