In most cases, encumbrance balances exist at year-end. These encumbrance balances are obligations of each fund and must be reported at the beginning of each fiscal year. In addition, a corresponding appropriations entry must be made in order to accommodate the 'carried-over' encumbrance amount.
Most differences between budgeted annual revenues and expenses are due to these encumbrance carryovers.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: April 16, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Accounting Division, Finance Department
SUBJECT: Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council accept the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the Fiscal Year (FY) Ended June 30, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to City Charter, Finance Department staff have prepared the City’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Each year, financial statements are prepared to report on the financial condition of the City as a whole, as well as individual funds/operations that are included within the City’s operations.
While only certain financial statements and schedules are required by state law and the City Charter, other information and elements are needed to be considered for an award for excellence in financial reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), which recognizes the highest standards of financial reporting. GFOA awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Santa Barbara California for its ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. This was the thirty-fifth year that the City has received this prestigious award. To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR. This report must satisfy both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year. Staff believe that the current ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and are submitting it to GFOA to determine its Agenda Item No. 8
File Code No. 220.03

eligibility for another certificate. The City remains committed to financial transparency and compliance through the rigor and completeness of information presented to the City Council and the public through the ACFR.
The expanded financial statements and other information included in the report are collectively referred to as an ACFR. In addition to allowing the ACFR to be considered for the GFOA award for financial reporting, the financial statements are expanded to enable the community and other interested parties to obtain a better and more complete understanding of the City’s finances and operations.
The financial statements were audited by the independent public accounting firm of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA), whose unmodified opinion is included within the financial section of the report. An unmodified opinion indicates that the financial statements present fairly the financial position of the City of Santa Barbara as of June 30, 2023, and the results of operations, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
As part of the audit, CLA also reviewed and performed tests of the City’s internal accounting control procedures to determine if there are any material weaknesses or instances of non-compliance.
The ACFR is divided into three major sections: the introductory section, the financial section, and the statistical section. The introductory section includes a letter of transmittal, a directory of City officials, and an organizational chart. The financial section includes the independent auditors’ report (as noted above), management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), and the financial statements, including notes. The statistical section includes financial trend information as well as demographic information about the City. The format of the ACFR is designed to serve the needs of the following primary users: the City Council and other governmental oversight bodies, the public, and agencies assessing the City’s creditworthiness. This Council Agenda Report includes the statement of net position, statement of activities, and other information to assist in understanding the ACFR. The MD&A and supplemental schedules and notes provide additional information.
The table below summarizes the assets, liabilities, and resulting net position for governmental and business-type activities for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
Governmental funds include activities that occur in the General Fund primarily, along with certain special revenue funds while business-type funds include the City’s various enterprise funds, such as water and wastewater, among others.

The enterprise functions are entirely self-sustaining and generate their own revenue to cover both operating and capital expenditures.
Staff will present the ACFR to the Finance Committee just prior to the Council’s afternoon session. A representative from CLA will be present to provide the Finance Committee with a summary of the audit and the results thereof.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The acceptance of the City’s ACFR has no direct fiscal impact on the City; however, the reports are necessary to allow for City Council oversight of the financial condition of the City. Failing to prepare and accept such reports could jeopardize the City’s credit rating and its ability to obtain grants and debt financing in the future.
The ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, is available for review on the City’s website at https://SantaBarbaraCA.gov/Budget-Reports.

Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and Residents of the City of Santa Barbara
It is our pleasure to submit the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Santa Barbara for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, in accordance with Section 1219 of the City Charter. The report was prepared by the City’s Finance Department and responsibility for the accuracy of the data, the completeness and fairness of the presentation, and all disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the information in the ACFR is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the City.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the City finances. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management established a comprehensive internal control framework designed both to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse, and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
The City Charter requires an annual audit of the City’s financial statements by an independent certified public accountant. CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, the City’s audit firm, has issued an unmodified opinion on the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The independent auditors’ report is located on pages 9-11 within the financial section of this report. The ACFR has been prepared using the financial reporting requirements as prescribed by Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34. GASB 34 requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the financial statements in the form of a Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A can be found beginning on page 13.
PROFILE OF THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
The City of Santa Barbara is located between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Santa Barbara offers year-round sunshine, miles of beaches, a colorful history dating back to the Chumash Indian tribes, a rich Spanish heritage, gourmet dining, and spectacular parks. It is often referred to as the American Riviera. The City was incorporated in August of 1850 and as of 2023 serves a local population of 85,418. The City is a major employment center and tourist destination. (1)
The City provides a wide range of services to its citizens. These services include police and fire protection; construction and maintenance of highways, streets, traffic signals and infrastructure; community development; recreational activities and cultural events; parks; parking facilities; water; wastewater; library; airport; harbor; and a golf course, among many other services.
LOCAL ECONOMY
As far back as the late 1800’s, the City of Santa Barbara was a place people from across the country came to enjoy its natural beauty, including its wonderful beaches, great yearround weather, and many recreational and cultural offerings. This is still true today, such that tourism is the largest industry in the City. The national, state, and local economies have been enjoying one of the longest, most robust periods of stability and growth in many years. Leisure/hospitality provide a substantial portion of General Fund revenues to the City of Santa Barbara through transient occupancy and sales taxes, among other tax and revenue sources. As one of the City Council’s strong commitments to fiscal sustainability, the City has prioritized the gradual replenishment and building of General Fund reserves over the past 14 years following the Great Recession. Through the use of these reserves, along with achieving expenditure savings, among other budget balancing strategies, the City has and will continue to operate within its means to continue to deliver services to Santa Barbara residents and visitors.
Post COVID, the local economy showed a strong growth in transient occupancy and sales tax revenues. The real-estate market was relatively strong. Consequently, property tax revenues increased at a steady rate. Entering Fiscal Year (FY) 2023, the City experienced a plateau in economic activities due to various factors such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, and labor shortages. Winter 2023 brought additional storms that strained financial resources and reduced economic activities which reduced city reserves. Despite these challenges, by continuing to control costs and implementing strong financial controls, the General Fund reserves for FY2023 met the contingency and disaster reserve targets set by the City Council. The use of reserves has been a tool that the City has utilized in prior years immediately following local natural disasters, such as the Thomas Fire and COVID. Continuing to prioritize the replenishment of these reserves allows the City to persevere through operational and financial hardship in the future.
The local economy is likely to continue to face many challenges in the coming year given continued economic and operating uncertainty. The City will continue to respond and support local businesses with their operational challenges.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
Long-term financial planning is an integral part of the City’s fiscal management as it ensures sustainable growth, resilience, and effective governance. It is even more critical now given the current and projected economic uncertainty. Each of the City’s operating funds, including the General Fund and its enterprise funds, maintains a long-term (2)
financial model. For enterprise funds, which are largely funded from rates and charges for direct services provided, the financial models go out as far as ten years. These operations are relatively stable financially and, as such, lend themselves to a longerterm view, which in turn helps inform real time decisions of how to manage rates and charges to ensure operating costs are covered; and equally important is ensuring funds will be available for their capital needs.
A long-term financial model is also maintained for the General Fund. The model looks forward five years, rather than ten, because of the volatile nature of tax revenues in a tourist-based economy makes it very difficult to predict revenues with any certainty beyond five years. Nonetheless, the financial model is invaluable in the development of the biannual financial plan and annual operating budget. The financial model has recently been enhanced to incorporate recession and more aggressive economic scenarios to understand the potential additional impact on General Fund reserves.
These models will continue to be refined over the coming months leading into the upcoming FY2025 and FY2026 operating budgets to articulate fiscally pragmatic assumptions for revenues.
As an additional planning tool, the City adopts a two-year financial plan, with the first year representing the adopted annual budget and the second year serving as a financial plan and a starting point for the following year. Two-year financial plans take more time to produce in the first year, but it forces the organization and staff to take a longer-term view of its operations at a more detailed level than a financial model that they might not otherwise do. Even though the City’s Charter requires an annual budget, the City has embraced the concept and additional discipline required to incorporate a second year into its budget/planning document.
Annual pension expenses are projected to continue to rise and represent a significant amount of the City’s operating budget. The pension funded status is 67.0% or 5.0% below the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund (PERF). During FY2022, the City Council took decisive action, Resolution 22-125, to address future pension-related costs and liabilities; 12.5% of the FY2022 year-end savings in the General Fund was set aside to establish a Section 115 Trust to address the growing and volatile pension liabilities. In addition, under Resolution 23-153, the City Council adopted the resolution to appropriate the transfer of available reserves from enterprise, internal service funds into the Pension Section 115 Trust. This last one was successfully established and $2.2 Million was deposited into the trust. The return projection is set to be at about 5.5%.
The City is self-insured and funds its own workers’ compensation claims as well as coverage for liability and property. The Self-Insurance Fund (SIF) purchases several types of insurance to cap exposure to large or catastrophic loss. Property insurance has become increasingly expensive to purchase due to continued drought and wildfire conditions throughout California, and liability insurance has also become more expensive due to high claim costs associated with losses, such as law enforcement claims. The City Council has supported staff’s recommendations to increase funding into the SIF in FY2023 and in years to come to ensure that the SIF has adequate funding and reserves to achieve adequate coverage for city facilities and operations. (3)
FINANCIAL CONTROLS
The City's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls designed to ensure that the City's assets are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The City’s system of internal controls must also ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The City's system of internal controls is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. We believe that the City's system of internal controls adequately safeguards assets and provides reasonable assurance as to the proper recording of financial transactions. The City's internal controls are subject to periodic evaluation by the City's management.
Single Audit
As a recipient of federal assistance, the City is responsible for maintaining a system of internal controls that will ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to those federal programs. As part of the City’s federal single audit, tests are made to determine the adequacy of the internal controls, including that portion relating to federal financial assistance. The single audit also seeks to determine whether the City has complied with, in all material respects, all applicable laws and regulations that could have a direct or material effect on a major grant program. The single audit did not encounter any instances of material weaknesses in the City’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Budgetary Controls
The City maintains budgetary controls designed to ensure compliance with the legal provisions contained in the annual budget approved by the City Council. The level of budgetary control (the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is at the department level for the General Fund and at the fund level for all other legally adopted budgets.
The City maintains a formal, integrated, encumbrance accounting system as one means of ensuring budgetary control. Purchase orders that would result in an overrun of department appropriations at a major object category level are not released until additional funds have been appropriated. Appropriations for encumbrances outstanding at year-end are carried over and re-appropriated in the following fiscal year.
OTHER INFORMATION
Spending Limitation
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, also known as the Gann spending limit, restricts the amount of “proceeds of taxes” California governments may spend. As of June 30, 2023, the City had not reached its Article XIIIB spending limitation. (4)
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Santa Barbara California for its ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. This was the thirty-fifth year that the City has received this prestigious award. To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR. This report must satisfy both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. Staff believe that the current ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
The preparation of this ACFR could not have been accomplished without the hard work and team effort of the Finance Department, in particular Nathalie Lecolley, Controller, Jessica Yates and Lynne Sparks Accounting Supervisors, Jo Salamack and Takero Shinoda, Senior Accountants, and Sarolyn Boyd, Accountant II all of whom put in tremendous hours in the preparation of this report. Staff appreciate the City Council’s direction and policy oversight on the various fiscal and budget issues addressed during the year. In addition, Department Directors and staff at all levels should be acknowledged for their continued attention to planning and conducting the City financial and procurement operations in a responsible and progressive manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Honorable City Council
of the City of Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Barbara, (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Barbara, as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Change in Accounting Principle
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2022, the City adopted new accounting guidance, Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Restatement for Correction of Errors
As discussed in Note 19 to the financial statements, the City made restatements to beginning fund balance/net position to correct prior period misstatements. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
The Honorable City Council
of the City of Santa Barbara
(14)
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.
The Honorable City Council
of the City of Santa Barbara
(15)
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Budgetary Comparison Schedules – General and Major Special Revenue Funds, modified approach for City streets infrastructure capital assets, the schedules of changes in net pension liability and related ratios, the schedules of plan contributions, the schedule of investment returns – safety retirement and safety service retirement plans, and the schedules of changes in the total other postemployment benefit (OPEB) liability and related ratios be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining financial statements and individual fund budgetary schedules 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 was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the combining financial statements and individual fund budgetary schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
The Honorable City Council
of the City of Santa Barbara
(16)
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 26, 2024, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Unaudited)
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023
This section of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report presents an overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have included in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages 1-4 of this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
At the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2023, the City’s net position (assets and deferred outflows minus liabilities and deferred inflows) totaled $1.0 Billion, an increase of approximately $66.1 Million from the prior year.
Unrestricted funds may be used by the City to meet ongoing operations, subject to applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Of the total net position, unrestricted funds had a deficit balance of $45.0 Million, a reduction in loss by $28.0 Million with FY2022 mainly due to a change of assumptions under GASB 68; Reduction in discount rate to determine the long term expected rate of return. Net position increased by $46.0 Million under Governmental activities when Business type activities added $20.4 Million.
As of June 30, 2023, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balances of $188.0 Million, an increase of $7.5 Million from the prior year.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: (1) Government-wide Financial Statements, (2) Fund Financial Statements, and (3) Notes to the Basic Financial Statements. Each of these components is discussed below.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The Government-wide Financial Statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all the City’s assets, liabilities, and deferred outflows and inflows of resources. Net position (deficit) is the difference between (a) assets and deferred outflows of resources and (b) liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. 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 summarizing how the City’s net position changed during the 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 are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.
Fund Financial Statements
The City, like other state and local governments, uses Fund Accounting for recording its financial activities. In general, Fund Accounting provides a mechanism to separately account for a variety of different funding sources and thereby enables the City to demonstrate compliance with legal or contractual requirements that may be associated with these funds. Accordingly, the accompanying fund financial statements present individual funds, organized into one of three groups based on the nature of (18)
the activities and their purposes: Governmental, Proprietary, or Fiduciary Funds. Note that the Fund financial statements only present information on the most significant (i.e., “major”) funds on the face of the statement. Non-major funds are grouped and presented in total on the face of the statements. In addition, the Fund financial statements include a schedule that reconciles the Fund financial statements to the government-wide financial statements previously described. This is designed to explain the differences created by the integrated approach.
Governmental Funds – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds.
Governmental funds include the General Fund, Special Revenue, Capital Projects, and Debt Service funds. In the fund financial statements, all governmental fund types are reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting. This is a departure from the basis of accounting used in the private sector and is used in the public sector in recognition of the different purpose and focus of financial reporting.
Because the focus is only on inflow (revenue) and outflow (expenditures) of current financial resources, the balance sheets of governmental funds present only short-term assets and liabilities.
The fund financial statements include separate columns, by fund type, for all major governmental funds of the City. All non-major governmental funds are consolidated into a single column labeled “Other Governmental Funds.” The details of these funds are included in the Combining and Individual Fund Statements and Schedules located in the Financial Section of this report.
Proprietary Funds – Proprietary funds are utilized to account for services provided to external customers or other City departments and funds that are primarily funded from user fees and charges. The basis of accounting and measurement focus used to prepare proprietary fund statements is the same that is used to prepare the government-wide statements. Thus, the proprietary fund statements provide the same, but more detailed, information about these funds, which are included in the “Business-Type Activity” column of the government-wide statements. Proprietary funds include enterprise funds and internal service funds. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its water, wastewater, solid waste, airport, waterfront/harbor operations, downtown parking, golf, and clean energy. Internal service funds are used to account for intra-city services such as fleet maintenance and replacement, building maintenance, postemployment benefits, communications, information systems, self-insurance programs, and energy management.
Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held by the City as trustee on behalf of other agencies or individuals. Fiduciary funds are not presented in the government-wide statements, as their resources are not available to support the operations of the City.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements provide information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and related notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits and other post-employment benefits to its employees; budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and each major special revenue fund; and schedules and disclosures of the modified approach for reporting the City’s infrastructure.
(19)
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The City has presented its financial statements under the reporting model required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34 (GASB 34). The following analysis of the GovernmentWide statements includes a comparison between current and prior year results of operations and yearend balances.
Statement of Net Position
Table 1 below summarizes the Statement of Net Position for Governmental and Business Type Activities as of June 30, 2023, with comparative totals as of June 30, 2022. As previously stated, net position at year end serves as a useful indicator over time of whether the City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating.
As shown in Table 1, the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $1.0 Billion as of June 30, 2023, an increase of $66.0 Million over FY2022. The largest portion consists of the City’s net investment in capital assets in the amount of $946.8 Million. The city uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens, and therefore they 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 needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves are not generally used to liquidate these liabilities. A portion of the City’s net position, $119.2 Million, is subject to restrictions imposed by external parties, and its use is determined by those restrictions and contractual agreements.
The City’s deferred outflows of resources increased by $75.5 Million or approximately 109.0% with FY2022 when deferred inflows of resources decreased by $104.6 Million or 64.0%. Both variances were primarily due to the net changes in pension. For more information on the components of Deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions, see Note 9. (20)
Total net position resulting from governmental activities increased by $45.8 Million or approximately
11.2% with FY2022. This was comprised of an increase in the net investment in capital assets of $12.2 Million or approximately 2.4%, an increase in restricted net position or $5.2 Million and a positive reduction in unrestricted net position for $29.6 Million.
Total net position resulting from Business-type activities increased by $20.4 Million or approximately 3.7% with FY2022. This was comprised of an increase in the net investment in capital assets of $18.2 Million or approximately 4.5%, an increase in restricted net position or $2.7 Million and an decrease in unrestricted net position for $1.0 Million.
Statement of Activities
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, total net position increased by $66.1 Million, or 6.9%.
Adjustments to the prior fiscal year related to Account Receivables and FEMA reimbursement fund allocation added $1.2 Million to net position for current year.
Table 2 summarizes the Statement of Activities for Governmental Activities and Business-Type Activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, with comparative totals for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. (21)
Governmental Activities
Revenue Highlights
Governmental activities revenue increased by $769K during FY2023. Variances from FY2022 exceeding
10.0% or $2.5 Million are discussed below.
• 10.5% decrease in operational grant receipts for Community Development and Public Safety by $3.5 and $2.0 Million respectively offset by an increase of $2.8 Million for Community Services. • 17% decrease or $3.9 Million less in capital grant for Public Works. • Increase by 245.0% or $4.0 Million in investment income due to favorable market.
Other Revenues / Taxes:
• Sales and Use taxes reported an increase of $462k from the prior year, or 0.8% increase. This positive trend is due to a combination of increased consumer spending and higher than expected inflation prices. For FY2023, $59.7 Million was generated. • Property taxes reported an increase of $3.7 Million from the prior year, or a 9.0% increase to $46.0 Million. To note, Proposition 13 impacts the amount of property tax collected as it limits how much taxable value can be allocated to a property each year. It is currently set at 2.0%. That said, Santa Barbara continues to be a very desirable location to live, and property prices and number of sales have remained strong even during recent economic uncertainty. • Transient Occupancy taxes (TOT).
After a significant peak in hotel occupancy after the pandemic, we now notice a slower movement with tourism activities. For FY2023, revenue was $31.5 Million, a slight decrease by 1.6% from the prior year.
(22)
Expense Highlights
Governmental functional expenses for the year totaled approximately $189.0 Million ($187.5 Million in FY2022), an increase of $1.5 Million from the prior year. The variance is composed of the following changes:
• Public Safety expenditures reduced by $24.5 Million in relation to FY2022. This change relates mainly to a decrease in pension liability of $19.5 Million (note 9) as well as a combination of vacant positions.
• Public Works expenditure increased by $14.4 Million. Most of this variance is attributed to capital outlays. In contrast to Public Safety costs that are funded by general revenues such as taxes, Public Works expenses are mostly funded by restricted revenues such as gas and utilities taxes as well as Federal and State grants. These resources pay for street maintenance and improvements, transportation planning and other related costs. • Community services and development increased by $6.0 Million and $4.0 Million respectively with the prior fiscal year. The main variances are primarily due to variance in pension liability with prior year and a combination of increase in payroll capital outlay expenses. • Administration, Sustainability and Resilience departments make up for the offset of the variances listed above by roughly $1.4 Million with increase in labor expenses across Finance, Human Resources, Attorney, and Administration staff.
(23)
Business-Type Activities
The City’s business-type activities net position increased by $20.4 Million in FY2023 to $567.2 Million ($547.2 Million as of June 30, 2022.)
The chart below illustrates Expenses and Program Revenues for each business-type activity.
Revenue Highlights
Program revenues of $236.4 Million were generated in FY2023, an increase of $20.8 Million compared to prior year of $215.5 Million (10.0% increase). The dominant change in revenue is attributed to Clean energy with an increase of 195.0%. In contrast, Operating grants and contributions decreased by $16.0 Million. Main variables in revenues are as followed:
• The Clean Energy division is one of the newest divisions within the City receiving revenue since FY2022. Fees are closely tied to changes in SCE’s rates that increased significantly during FY2023. The result is a strong positive outcome that surpasses its expenditure. For this year, $43.4 Million was generated against $14.7 Million for FY2022. • Downtown Parking generated an additional 50.0% in revenue in comparison to the prior fiscal year or $9.1 Million. The primary reason is related to the increase in fees but the forecast for the upcoming fiscal year is closely monitored due to a decrease in parking occupancy that may be in response to higher charges to park.
• The Airport continues to see a strong level of commercial airline passenger activity. Revenues exceeded expectations for parking, ground transportation, rental cars, and concessions. FY2023 ended at $28.6 Million, an increase of $2.76 Million. However, revenues under operating Grants and contributions were less than last year which in return counterbalanced the results for FY2023:
A federal grant – Covid 19 for $5.9 Million received in FY2022 in comparison to a balance of $800K for FY2023.
(24)
• The Water Fund saw a reduction in its revenue attributed to rainstorms, a decrease in consumption. The dominant change for this department related to a grant for $11.9 Million in 2022 to support the Desalination project against a balance for $1.3 Million in FY2023.
Expense Highlights
Expenses of Business-Type Activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, came to an average increase of 26.5%. The change is mainly attributed to costs of revenues generated and payroll expenses.
For fiscal year end, total expenditure was $220.2 Million ($174.0 Million as of June 30, 2022), a $46.2 Million increase from prior year dominated by $21.5 Million from Clean Energy for which operations were not fully in place until the second part of FY2022.
• The Water Fund expended $56.9 Million, $6.0 Million more than FY2022. FY2020 experienced reduced operating costs within the desalination and recycled water plants from significant rainfall in prior years. More normal operational expenditures occurred during FY2023. • The Wastewater Fund expense increased by $3.2 Million with FY2022 or $25.5 Million. A partial of this variance related to revenue generated when other costs relate directly to inflation. • The Airport Fund expenses were $5.9 Million higher than FY2022 or $33.5 Million. When few of these costs related directly to the increase in revenues, the main drivers were related to transfer in for capital expenditure, inflation such as insurance, supplies, and benefits. • The Waterfront Fund experienced a peak in expenditure by 19.95% or $2.8Million. A major portion related to disaster costs posted under the FEMA fund and reclassed to Waterfront in FY2023. • The Downtown Parking Fund expense is $11.2 Million or 22.5% higher than FY2022. This department faces few challenges between higher capital expenditures largely due to Lot 9 Roof deck repair, higher facilities maintenance costs, and increases in payroll and benefits expenses. • The Clean Energy Fund began in FY2022 and ramped up to normal, annual operations in FY2023 and reported expenses of $37.6 Million.
Other business-type activities had increases in salary and benefit savings that helped offset this variance. (25)
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS
The City uses fund accounting to demonstrate compliance with legal and contractual requirements. This section provides an analysis and discussion of individual funds and fund types presented in the financial statements.
Governmental Funds
As of June 30, 2023, assets in the City’s governmental funds totaled $253.9 Million ($240.3 Million as of June 30, 2022). Of this total, $115.3 Million ($110.7 Million in prior year) consisted of cash and investments, an increase of $4.6 Million over prior year. An additional $78.0 Million represents outstanding loans receivable, for which 84.0% relates to the City’s Affordable Housing Fund and Community Development Block Grant and HOME Programs. The General Fund has $15.0 Million, an increase by 4.7 Million in advances (loans) to other City funds which include the Clean Energy Fund, Golf Fund, and the Energy Management Fund.
Fund balances of governmental funds totaled $187.7 Million on June 30, 2023 ($179.0 Million in the prior year restated in current year to $108.2 Million), an increase of $7.5 Million. An amount corresponding to prepaid assets, outstanding loans, and advances receivable of $3.4 Million is reported as “nonspendable” due to the long-term nature of the assets and, therefore, unavailable to fund current operations. A further $100.0 Million ($98.4 Million in the prior year) is restricted for specific programs, projects, and capital improvements with $67.8 Million of this restricted for affordable housing and contributing to the increase in the year. The spendable portion of fund balance totals $84.3 Million, which includes committed and unassigned balances, an increase with prior year by 14.7%.
The General Fund’s fund balance increased by $4.2 Million to $55.7 Million. The most significant committed portion of fund balance is $42.0 Million ($39.1 Million in FY2022) consisting of funds set aside, pursuant to City policy, for natural disasters and unexpected events such as significant economic downturns that have a significant impact on the General Fund. The policy requires all operating funds, including the General Fund, to set aside an amount equal to 25.0% of its operating budget. The unassigned fund balance in the General Fund is $7.7 Million, an increase of $4.8 Million from FY2022.
Proprietary Funds
Unlike governmental funds, proprietary funds use the accrual basis of accounting for financial statement purposes. The City’s proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information found in businesstype activities in the government-wide financial statement but in more detail.
The net position of proprietary funds consists of amounts for net investment in capital assets, amounts restricted for capital projects and debt service, as well as unrestricted amounts. Net position totaled $567.1 Million as of June 30, 2023 ($547.1 Million as of June 30, 2022), which increased $20.0 Million,
4.0% from the prior year. The main takeaway for this positive variance related to CalPERS actuary reevaluation of long-term liability reserve for the City pension plan. (26)
GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL AND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The General Fund budgetary highlights include only those funds associated with General Fund operations as reported in the City’s budget. The General fund is the main operating fund of the City. Its revenues are primarily derived from taxes, charges for services and intra-governmental charges, which are used to pay for the traditional services provided by local government – public safety, library, parks and recreation, community development (building and planning), and public works.
Revenues
The amended FY2023 General Fund revenue budget of $184.6 Million reflects adjustments of $501K that were approved by the City Council during the year. The most significant amendment included a decrease to interdepartmental revenues by Fire Operations Fund for responses to Mutual Aid incidents.
As shown on Table 3, actual revenues totaled $194.8 Million. Tax revenues ended the year higher than the amended budget by $9.6 Million, reflecting mainly the growth in the number of home sales and assessed values in proprieties as well as the increase in Transient Occupancy Tax, due primarily to increase in average daily rates which are 30.0% to 40.0% higher than pre-pandemic rates. (27)
Expenditures
The amended FY2023 General Fund expenditure budget reflects amendments approved by the City Council during the year. The amended budget also reflects appropriations carried over from the prior year related to outstanding encumbrances as of June 30, 2022.
As shown on Table 4 above, actual expenditures totaled $190.7 Million, and were under final budget by approximately $10.7 Million. The largest savings against budget are the result of salary and benefit savings due to vacancies in budgeted positions during the year. Main division was Public Safety with 28 sworn positions and 20 professional service positions vacant due to retirements, long term disabilities and turnovers.
(28)
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
Table 5 summarizes the City’s capital assets by class and by type of activity. It is important to note that capital assets are reported at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. These amounts do not represent the market value or replacement cost of City assets, which would be significantly higher.
Historical cost is used, pursuant to accounting standards, to provide an objective basis for reporting capital assets.
The City owns approximately $1.1 Million of capital assets net of depreciation and accounts receivable, an increase of $17.8 Million compared to the year ended June 30, 2022. These capital assets require ongoing maintenance, improvement, and renovation. As a result, the City as a whole undertakes millions of dollars in capital improvement and construction projects each year.
The capital improvement projects undertaken in the Governmental Activities category typically include improvements to the City’s infrastructure (roads, curbs, storm drains, bridges, sidewalks, gutters, etc.) and improvements to City public facilities, such as parks, restrooms, community facilities, and playgrounds. Starting in 2004, governmental funds have been required to capitalize and report the costs of acquiring or constructing infrastructure assets acquired or constructed after 1982. Where information was readily available, or if a value could be reasonably estimated, the City capitalized infrastructure assets acquired or constructed prior to 1982.
(29)
With regard to capital improvements to City streets, which is also considered “infrastructure,” the City has elected to use the “modified approach” pursuant to Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 in accounting for streets. As such, these assets have been reported separately from other infrastructures in Table 5. The City has established a pavement condition assessment process whereby approximately one-third of the entire street system is assessed on a rotating basis every two years. Each road segment is rated and given a pavement condition index (PCI) value from zero to one hundred (0-100), where PCI scores of 51-70 are considered to be in “At Risk” condition, and roads with PCI scores of 71-100 are considered to be in “Excellent/Good” condition. The City has a minimum target PCI of 60, whereby the modified approach may be applied, with an aspiration to improve the PCI to 70 in the coming years whereby ongoing maintenance needs are considered to be most cost effective.
Pursuant to the modified approach, depreciation is not reported for this subsystem and all costs, except for betterments and major improvements made to the subsystem, are expensed rather than capitalized.
The most recent biennial report was for the period ended June 30, 2023, and the average PCI for City streets exceeded the minimum policy level of 60 with a reported average score of 66, defined as “At Risk.”
Governmental Activities which include Internal Service Funds have construction in progress projects totaling $38.1 Million which have commenced or continued in FY2023. Main projects are: De La Vina Bridge project ($5.6 Million); Library Plaza renovation ($4.3 Million); other streets, bike lane, pedestrian and sidewalk related improvements ($4.1 Million); Cabrillo bridge replacement ($3.9 Million); new police station ($3.8 Million); W. Carrillo light and signal upgrade ($3.3 Million).
For Business-Type Activities, construction in progress projects totaling $40.0 Million which have commenced or continued in FY2023 primarily relate to facilities used in connection with enterprise funds, including water, wastewater, airport, waterfront, golf, and downtown parking. These operations can be much more capital intensive given the nature of the services they provide. The main changes relate to Construction in Progress: Desal Conveyance Pipeline ($25.2 Million); general airport improvements ($2.6 Million); wastewater improvements ($5.7 Million); and waterfront improvements ($1.6 Million). Additional information on the City of Santa Barbara’s capital assets can be found in Notes 1 and 5 to the financial statements and Required Supplementary Information of this report.
Long-Term Debt
Table 6 below summarizes outstanding long-term debt related to the issuance of bonds, certificates of participation, and loans; the table excludes outstanding claims payable, deferred debt costs, and compensated absences. As shown in the table, the City had approximately $170.1 million ($182.5 million in the prior year) in outstanding long-term debt at June 30, 2022, a net decrease of $12.4 million from the prior year. It is important to note that the Governmental Activities, which primarily consists of the General Fund, has no long-term indebtedness, which is a good financial indicator. (30)
Revenue Bonds
The City has a total of $35.2 Million in outstanding revenue bonds including the following: $25.6 Million of 2019 Airport refunding bonds, $5.1 Million of 2016 Sewer refunding bonds, and $4.5 Million of 2014 Waterfront refunding bonds.
Certificates of Participation
The Water Fund has $7.3 Million in outstanding COP bonds which refunded the 2002 COP bonds in 2013 issued at $22.7 Million. These proceeds were used to finance capital improvements to the water distribution system.
Loans
Of the outstanding $118.1 Million in loans payable, $75.4 Million relates to the Water Fund. Two of the Water Fund loans are low-interest loans from the State Department of Water Resources (SDWR) used to fund the Cater Water Treatment Plant Project, the Ortega Ground Water Treatment Plant Project, and the Cater Water Treatment Plant-Phase III Project. Approximately 40% of the SDWR loans will be reimbursed by the Montecito Water District and the Carpinteria Water District for the Cater Water Treatment Plant Project pursuant to a long-standing joint powers agreement. The third loan is a low interest loan from the State Water Resources Control Board used to fund the Desalination Plant Reactivation Project. The Desalination Project loan was issued for $80.0 Million, with an outstanding balance of $55.7 Million at June 30, 2023. The Desalination Project was completed in FY2018.
The Waterfront Fund has $8.0 Million in outstanding loans from the State Department of Parks & Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways, used to finance major renovations to the marina.
The Airport Fund carries outstanding loans from the State Department of Transportation totaling $0.20 Million, used to finance capital improvements at the airport.
The Wastewater Fund accounts for $31.2 Million in loans from the California State Water Resources Control Board for sewer infrastructure improvements. Additional information on the City of Santa Barbara’s long-term debt can be found in Note 7 to the financial statements. At this time all City Funds have sufficient reserves and cash-flow projections to meet all current debt obligations in the near future.
Under Governmental activities, the City entered into a financing agreement in December 2021 to purchase two Arrow XT pierce ultimate configuration 1500 GPM Triple Combination Pumping Engines for $3.9 Million at a rate of 1.3% with a maturity date of June 2029. Current outstanding balance $3.3 Million.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
The City of Santa Barbara’s largest industry is tourism. The mild and sunny climate attracts visitors from all over the world, who stay in the local lodging establishments, shop in the local stores, and dine in the local restaurants. Consequently, the City receives a fair amount of revenues that are either directly or indirectly tied to tourism. In the General Fund, for example, sales taxes represent 36.4% of total revenues while transient occupancy taxes (TOT) represent 28.0%. Other operations outside of the General Fund are also dependent, to varying degrees, on tourism. These include the Waterfront Fund, which accounts for the activities along the beach, including Sterns Wharf and the harbor. Its revenues are primarily derived from parking and percentage rents from merchants (shops and restaurants). These revenues are largely impacted by economic conditions, but also by weather. Similarly, the Airport Fund is affected by trends and economic conditions that affect travel.
Over the past year, the local economy has experienced a plateau in tourism activities after a rebound from the pandemic during FY2022. Despite the slowdown, it is expected that general fund revenues will only be slightly affected. The real estate market is still strong. Property tax should be higher than expected for the upcoming years with a 5.0% budget increase for FY2024.Transient Occupancy Tax will be projected at an additional $4.0 Million mainly due to an increase in average daily rates. Indeed, the FY2024 budget reflects a continuance of more stable economic and city activities after a period of three years of instability directly related to the pandemic. The FY2024 budget represents a plan for the delivery of services to meet the needs of the City’s residents and visitors during a challenging time of economic uncertainty. A longer-term view highlights continued challenges in the coming years.
In December 2022, the City Council took decisive action to address the City’s pension costs and liabilities more substantially by directing staff to develop a pension management policy and allocating General Fund resources to be used to set up a Section 115 trust. The Trust was established during FY2024 with a projected return that should surpass 5.5%.
The City will consider a variety of short- and long-term strategies to effectively manage through current economic uncertainty and rising costs. These strategies may include continuing to control expenditures to achieve savings, considering revenue generating options and resource realignment focusing on the City Council’s priorities.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN
FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
See accompanying Notes to Basic Financial Statements.
(40)
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds $ 7,512,170 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures and do not include capital contributions. However, in the statement of activities, the costs of those assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense and capital contributions are recognized as revenue. This is the amount by which capital outlay exceeded depreciation expense in the current period and the amount of capital contributions received.
Capital Outlay $ 23,150,812
Depreciation Expense (9,595,299) 13,555,513
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position.
These amounts are the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.
Lease Obligation 806,982
Subscription Obligation 224,197
Principal Paid 484,919
Compensated absences expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds. (627,624)
Pension expenditures reported in the governmental funds includes the annual required contributions. In the statement of activities, pension expense includes the change in the net pension liability, and related changes in pension amounts for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources. 19,902,223 Certain revenues in the governmental funds are deferred because they are not collected within the prescribed time period after year-end. However, the revenues are included on the accrual basis used in the government-wide statements. This amount represents the change during the fiscal year. 1,768,869 Internal service funds are used by management to charge costs of activities involved in rendering services to departments within the City. The changes in net position of the internal service funds are included in the statement of activities. 2,128,680 Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities $ 45,755,929

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the City of Santa Barbara, California (the City), have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Boards (GASB) is the accepted standards setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following summary of the City’s more significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in interpreting the basic financial statements and other data in this report. These policies should be viewed as an integral part of the accompanying basic financial statements.
A. Description of the Financial Reporting Entity
The City’s reporting entity includes the City (the primary government) and its component units. In evaluating how to define the City for financial reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units. The decision to include a potential component unit in the reporting entity was made by applying the criteria set forth in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, as amended. The basic, but not the only, criterion for including a potential component unit within the City’s reporting entity is whether the City Council, as the City’s governing body, has financial accountability for the potential component unit.
The most significant manifestations of financial accountability include the ability of the Council to appoint a voting majority of the organization’s governing body and the ability to impose its will on the organization; or that there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the City.
The City may be deemed to be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on the City regardless of whether the organization has a separately elected governing board, a governing board appointed by a higher level of government or a jointly appointed board. In addition to those organizations for which the City may be financially accountable, other organizations for which the City is not financially accountable, but for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete, may also be component units. Component units are presented on a “blended” basis when the component unit’s governing body is substantially the same as the City’s or the component unit provides services almost entirely to the City. In a blended presentation, a component unit’s balances and transactions are reported in a manner similar to the balances and transactions of the City. Based upon the application of these criteria, the following is a brief review of the City and each component unit within the City’s reporting entity.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) A. Description of the Financial Reporting Entity (Continued) City of Santa Barbara
The City of Santa Barbara (the primary government) was incorporated on August 26, 1850. The City is a charter city under the laws of the state of California and operates under a Council-Administrator form of government. The Council consists of six council members elected by district, and a mayor elected at-large. The City will institute its first even year election in November 2024, with three Councilmember seats to be elected in November 2024, and three Councilmember seats and the Mayoral seat to be elected in November 2026. The current City Charter was adopted on May 2, 1967 and provides for the following services: public safety (police and fire), construction and maintenance of highways and streets, sanitation, culture and recreation, public improvements, planning, zoning and general administration. Enterprise funds, operated in a manner similar to a private business, include water, wastewater, solid waste, airport, parking, golf and waterfront.
Santa Barbara Public Financing Authority
The Santa Barbara Public Financing Authority was formed on April 1, 2002, by a joint powers agreement between the City of Santa Barbara and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Barbara. It was created to acquire and finance the acquisition of public capital improvements necessary or convenient for the operation of the City or Agency. The Santa Barbara Public Financing Authority did not have any activity during the fiscal year and is considered a blended component unit of the City. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the Authority.
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of changes in net position) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. All fiduciary activities are reported only in the fund financial statements. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued) Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are separately aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for all major governmental funds and nonmajor funds aggregated. An accompanying schedule is presented to reconcile and explain the differences in net position (i.e., fund balances) as presented in these statements to the net position presented in the Government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position, and a Statement of Cash Flows for each proprietary fund and nonmajor funds aggregated. A column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, a portion of the internal service balances and activities have been combined with the governmental activities in the Government-wide financial statements.
The following are the major governmental funds of the City:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Affordable Housing Special Revenue Fund accounts for affordable housing financial activity of the City. This includes monitoring low and moderate income housing covenants and accounting for payments on outstanding housing loans.
Revenues are derived from principal and interest payments made by loan recipients. The Street Grant Capital Capital Project Fund accounts for street-related capital projects financed by various grants.
The following are the major proprietary funds of the City:
The Water Fund accounts for the provisions of water services to the residents of the City and some residents of the County.
The Wastewater Fund accounts for the provision of sewer services to the residents of the City and some residents of the County.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued) The Airport Fund accounts for the operation of the municipal airport and the administration of leases of airport property.
The Waterfront Fund accounts for the operation of the City managed waterfront that includes a public wharf, a small craft harbor, and parking facilities. The Solid Waste Fund accounts for refuse revenues received from customers, payments remitted to the trash hauler, and franchise and recycling fees paid by hauler that are used for recycling programs in the City. The Clean Energy Fund accounts for the cost to procure clean and renewable electricity on behalf of the Santa Barbara Community.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Governmental Fund Types
Special Revenue Funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than special assessments or major capital projects), that are restricted to expenditures for special purposes.
Capital Projects Funds account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major facilities other than those financed by Proprietary Funds.
Proprietary Funds
Internal Service Funds account for (1) a maintenance facility for fleet and motor pool equipment used by all City departments, (2) intra-city service building maintenance operations, (3) information systems and computer support services, (4) selfinsurance operations of workers’ compensation, unemployment, and general liability insurance coverage, (5) postemployment health insurance and other benefits for City employees at retirement, and (6) energy management coordination for all City operations.
Fiduciary Funds
Custodial Funds are used to account for resources held by the City in a purely custodial capacity. Custodial funds typically involve only the receipt, temporary investment, and remittance of fiduciary resources to individuals, private organizations, or other governments. The custodial funds account for (1) moneys received from agencies for low- and moderate-income applicant’s rehabilitation housing loans, and (2) moneys received from agencies for the California Law Enforcement Tracking System (CLETS).

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as is the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Nonexchange transactions, in which the City gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property and sales taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenues from sales tax are recognized when the underlying transactions take place. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the granting agency have been met.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Grant funds and sales taxes earned but not received by the end of the fiscal period are recorded as a receivable, and revenue is recognized if collected within 90 days of the end of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government. 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.
Proprietary, private-purpose trust funds, and custodial funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
D. New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2020, the GASB issued GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements. This standard defines a subscription-based information technology arrangement (SBITA); establishes that a SBITA results in a rightto-use subscription asset (an intangible asset) and a corresponding subscription liability; provides the capitalization criteria for outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation costs of a SBITA; and requires note disclosures regarding a SBITA.
The City adopted the requirements of the guidance effective July 1, 2022 and has applied the provisions of this standard to the beginning of the period of adoption.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E. Interfund Activities
Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34 in regard to interfund activities, payables and receivables. All internal balances in the statement of net position have been eliminated except those representing balances between the governmental activities and the business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the total government column. In the statement of activities, internal services funds transactions have been eliminated.
However, transactions between governmental and business-type activities have not been eliminated. The following interfund activities have been eliminated: Due to and from other funds, Advances to and from other funds, and Transfers in and out.
F. Definition of Operating and Nonoperating Revenues and Expenses Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities. The principal operating revenues of the water, wastewater, solid waste, clean energy, parking, golf, airport and waterfront enterprise funds and the City’s internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The enterprise funds also recognize as operating revenue service charges, leases and rents, and other revenue. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenue and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
G. Flow Assumption for Restricted Resources
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy for all fund types to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) H. Property Tax Calendar
In 1978, a State constitutional amendment (Article XIIIA) provided that the ad valorem real property tax rate be limited to 1% of market value and be levied only by the county and shared with all other jurisdictions. The County of Santa Barbara collects the property taxes and distributes them to taxing jurisdictions on the basis of the taxing jurisdictions’ assessed valuations, subject to adjustments for voter approved debt.
Property taxes are formally due on November 1 and February 1 and become delinquent as of December 10 and April 10, respectively. Taxes become a lien on the property effective March 1 of the preceding year.
The City is a participant of the County’s Teeter plan, which means the City would receive the full amount of tax due regardless of the amount actually collected. The County would assume the risk associated with collecting all existing and future past due property tax balances.
I. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
With respect to cash and investments with fiscal agents, all investments have an original maturity of less than three months and are considered to be cash equivalents.
The City’s proprietary fund participates in the pooling of City-wide cash and investments.
Amounts held in the City pool are available to the fund on demand and are considered to be cash and cash equivalents for statement of cash flow purposes. Investments not held in the City pool that are short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition are considered cash and cash equivalents.
J. Investment Policies
Effective July 1, 1997, the City adopted the provisions of GASB Statement 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and External Investments Pools, as amended by GASB 72, which requires that governmental entities, including governmental external investment pools, report certain investments at fair value in the balance sheet and recognize the corresponding change in the fair value of investments in the year in which the change occurred.
The fair value of pooled investments is determined annually and is based on current market prices received from the City’s securities custodian. The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is required to invest in accordance with State statutes.

The City has developed a formal investment policy that is more restrictive than the State of California Government Code. The policy is adopted annually by the City Council.
K. Receivables and Payables
Interfund transactions are reflected as either: loans, services, reimbursements or transfers. Loans are reported as receivables and payables as appropriate, are subject to elimination upon consolidation and 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 noncurrent portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and the business-type activities are reported in the governmentwide financial statements as “internal balances.” Services provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses. Reimbursements occur when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental or proprietary funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide presentation.
Loans receivable in the governmental funds include the Affordable Housing Fund, Community Development Block Grant loans, Home Investment Partnership loans, Water fund loans and Employee Mortgages.
All accounts receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts, including water, wastewater, airport waterfront, solid waste, golf and parking. The allowance is estimated based on historical collections.
L. Inventories and Prepaid Assets
Inventories are stated at cost (first-in, first-out basis) and lower of average cost or market for proprietary funds. Governmental fund inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. Proprietary fund inventories consist primarily of materials and supplies held for consumption. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in government-wide and fund financial statements.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) M. Capital Assets
Capital assets which include land, buildings, improvements to buildings, improvements other than buildings, equipment, construction in progress, and infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide basic financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an estimated useful life in excess of one year and an initial individual cost of $25,000 or more for equipment and other improvements, $100,000 or more for building improvements and infrastructure, and all buildings, regardless of cost. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual cost is not available. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset’s life are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend useful lives, are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Capital assets (except land, works of art and construction in progress) of the primary government are depreciated using the straight-line method using the estimated useful lives listed below.
Buildings 40 to 50 Years
Building Improvements 40 to 50 Years
Improvements other than Buildings 25 to 50 Years
Equipment 5 to 20 Years
Infrastructure (Except for the Maintained
Pavement Subsystem) 10 to 100 Years
Right-to-use lease assets are initially measured at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized in a systematic and rational manner over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset.
Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA) assets are initially measured as the sum of the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscription term, payments associated with the SBITA contract made to the SBITA vendor at the commencement of the subscription term, when applicable, and capitalizable implementation costs, less any SBITA vendor incentives received form the SBITA vendor at the commencement of the SBITA term. SBITA assets are amortized in a systematic and rational manner over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT assets.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) M. Capital Assets (Continued)
The City has networks of infrastructure assets such as roads, water and wastewater treatment plants, drainage systems and sidewalks. The streets pavement subsystem of the road network is reported using the modified approach. The City has established a pavement condition assessment process. Approximately one-third of the entire subsystem is assessed on a rotating basis every two years so that the entire street network is inspected every six years. Each road segment is inspected and the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) value from zero to one hundred (0-100) is calculated for each road segment. PCI’s of 71 to 100 are considered “Good/Excellent,” PCI’s from 51 to 70 are considered “At Risk,” PCI’s from 25 to 50 are considered “Poor,” and PCI’s from 0 to 24 are considered “Very Poor/Failed.” Accordingly, depreciation is not reported for this subsystem and all costs, except for betterments and major improvements made to the subsystem, are expensed rather than capitalized.
N. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 63 and GASB Statement No. 65, the City recognizes deferred outflows and inflows of resources. A deferred outflow of resources represents a consumption of nets assets that applies to future periods. A deferred inflow of resources represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods. Refer to Note 10 and Note 4 for a detailed listing of the deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources the City has recognized.
O. Compensated Absences
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. For fire safety employees the value of the sick pay benefit is converted to additional years of service for purposes of calculating retirement benefits provided by the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) and the employee is, therefore, compensated through an increased retirement benefit. All other employees upon retirement and with a minimum of 500 hours of accumulated sick pay benefits may elect to have an annuity or the cash value of an annuity for the value of those accumulated hours, calculated based on comparable actuarial assumptions used by PERS.
Governmental funds recognize the cost of vacation and sick pay benefits when payments are made to employees. The City has determined that 90% of the liability for compensated absences in both the governmental activities and the business-type activities at June 30, 2023, is deemed current and expected to be paid within the next 12 months with current financial resources.
The compensated absences for governmental funds will generally be liquidated through the general fund. The balances in the proprietary funds will generally be liquidated through the individual funds.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) P. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, and gains and losses on refunding, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the bondsoutstanding method, which approximates the effective interest method.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs during the current period. The proceeds of long-term debt issued are reported as “other financing sources.” Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount and gains and losses on refunding. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as “other financing sources” while discounts are reported as “other financing uses.”
Q. Net Pension Liability
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 and are in accordance with the implementation of GASB Statement No, 68. Investments are reported at fair value. CalPERS audited financial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’s website under Forms and Publications.
R. Other Postemployment Benefits
For purposes of measuring the liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, and expense associated with the City’s plan, have been determined by an independent actuary in accordance with GASB Statement No. 75.
S. Restricted Assets
The City has funds held by trustees or fiscal agents pledged to the payment or security of bonds and certificates of participation and are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because they are maintained in separate bank accounts and their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. The California Government Code provides that these funds, in absence of specific statutory provisions governing the issuance of bonds or certificates, may be invested in accordance with the ordinance, resolutions, or indentures specifying the types of investments the trustees or fiscal agents may make.

Disclosures Relating to 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 is, the greater the sensitivity its fair value will be to changes in market interest rates. In accordance with its investment policy, the City manages its exposure to declines in fair value by limiting the weighted average maturity of the overall investment portfolio to 2½ years. In addition, the City employs a “buy and hold” investment strategy whereby investments are held to maturity at which time the investment is redeemed at par. This strategy limits the City’s exposure to declines in fair value to unforeseen emergencies when the need for cash beyond that which is planned and anticipated may arise.
Portfolio diversification is also employed as a way to control risk, including those associated with market changes or issuer default. To control market price risks, volatile investments are avoided, and to control risks of illiquidity, a minimum of 10% of the total portfolio is held in highly marketable U.S. Treasury Bills and Notes and/or the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and/or Money Market Funds and/or securities maturing within 90 days.

Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs. Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
United States Treasury Notes, United States Government – Sponsored Agency securities, corporate medium-term notes, and negotiable certificates of deposit are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices.

Disclosure Risk Relating to 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. The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The 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.

As of June 30, 2023, the deposits were collateralized in accordance with Section 53652 of the California Government Code by the pledging financial institution in the City’s name.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the state of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s prorata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
NOTE 3 UNEARNED REVENUE
Under both the accrual and modified accrual basis of accounting, revenue may be recognized only when earned. Therefore, the government-wide statement of net position, as well as governmental and proprietary funds, defers revenue recognition in connection with resources that have been received as of year-end, but not yet earned. Assets recognized in connection with a transaction before the earnings process is complete are offset by a corresponding liability for unearned revenue.

Gains and losses related to changes in net pension liability and total OPEB liability are recognized systematically over time. Amounts are first recognized in pension and OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pension or OPEB and are to be recognized in future pension and OPEB expense. The recognition period differs based on the source of the gain or loss. For the net difference between the projected and actual earnings on plan investments it is five years. All other amounts are recognized over the expected average remaining service lifetime.
A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.

1. General Information about the Pension Plans (Continued) Employees Covered
At the measurement date ended June 30, 2022, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms for each Plan:
Miscellaneous Safety (Police)
Inactive Employees or Beneficiaries Currently
Receiving Benefits 1,189 282
Inactive Employees Entitled to But Not Yet
Receiving Benefits 1,023 79
Active Employees 768 122
Total 2,980 483
Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’s annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. City contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contributions requirements are classified as plan member contributions. The City made contributions to the Miscellaneous, Safety (police) and Safety (fire) during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, of $26,711,721, $11,554,507, and $8,944,875, respectively.
2. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2022, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021 rolled forward to June 30, 2022 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.

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.

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return (Continued)
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ -60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Assumed
Asset Real Return
Asset Class (a) Allocation (a) (b)
Global Equity - Cap-weighted 30.00% 4.54%
Global Equity - Non-Cap-weighted 12.00% 3.84%

2. Net Pension Liability (Continued)
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.9%. 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.
Change in Assumptions
The discount rate and long-term rate of return decreased from 7.15% to 6.90% and the inflation rate decreased from 2.50% to 2.30% from the measurement date June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022.

B. City Safety Retirement Pension Plan
1. General Information about the Pension Plan
Plan Description
In addition to the CalPERS, the City provides an additional single-employer defined benefit pension plan. The Safety Retirement Plan was established to account for the accumulation of resources to be used for retirement benefits for those police and fire employees hired between May 1937 and May 1965, and who were disabled due to job related injuries. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement 68.
Benefits Provided and Employees Covered
As of June 30, 2022 measurement date, a total of five (5) retirees (or beneficiaries) are receiving benefits from the Safety Retirement Pension Trust Fund.

C. Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers two deferred compensation plans for regular employees and one for hourly employees created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457.
Under the terms of these plans, employees may defer amounts of income up to a maximum of $17,500 per year or 100% of includable compensation, whichever is less.
Amounts so deferred may be withdrawn or directed for future payment at separation of employment but may not be paid to the employee during employment with the City except for a catastrophic circumstance creating an undue and unforeseen financial hardship for the employee.
Effective January 1, 1999, Federal legislation (Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996) requires the Section 457 plan assets to be placed in trust for the exclusive use of the plan participants and their beneficiaries. The City’s deferred compensation administrator qualifies as the plan trustee to meet Federal requirements. Since the plan assets are no longer considered the property and rights of the City, such assets are no longer reflected in the accompanying basic financial statements.

NOTE 10 DEFERRED INFLOWS OF RESOURCES
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position, and GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, the City recognized deferred inflows of resources in the entity- wide and proprietary fund statements. This item represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods. Previous financial reporting standards do not include guidance for reporting those financial statement elements, which are distinct from assets and liabilities.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, it is not enough that revenue has been earned if it is to be recognized in the current period. Revenue must also be susceptible to accrual (i.e., measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period).
Governmental funds report revenues not considered available to liquidate liabilities of the current period as deferred inflows of resources.
Gains and losses related to changes in net pension liability and total OPEB liability are recognized systematically over time. Amounts are first recognized in pension or OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pension or OPEB and are recognized in future pension and OPEB expense. The recognition period differs based on the source of the gain or loss. For the net difference between the projected and actual earnings on plan investments it is five years. All other amounts are recognized over the expected average remaining service lifetime. Lease related inflows are amortized on a straight line basis over the length of the lease agreement.
Deferred inflows of resources balances as reported on the statement of net position for the year ended June 30, 2023, were as follows:

NOTE 11 CLASSIFICATION OF NET POSITION
In the government-wide financial statements, net position are classified as the following:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – This category groups all capital assets, including infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce this category.
Restricted Net Position – This category presents all external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted Net Position – This category represents the net position of the City, which are not restricted for any project or other purpose.
In the Fund financial statements, governmental funds report the following fund balance classifications:
Nonspendable – Amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
CITY OF SANTA BARBARA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
(95)
NOTE 11 CLASSIFICATION OF NET POSITION (CONTINUED)
Restricted – Amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Committed – Amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest authority, the City Council of the City of Santa Barbara. The formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution by the City Council of the City of Santa Barbara.
Assigned – Amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The City Administrator or Finance Director are authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose as per the approved City Council Resolution No. 12-069.
Unassigned – Residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes.
The General Fund is the only fund that may report a positive unassigned fund balance.
However, in governmental funds other than the General Fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned for those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.
An individual governmental fund could include nonspendable resources and amounts that are restricted or unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) or any combination of those classifications. Restricted or unrestricted amounts are to be considered spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Committed, assigned, then unassigned amounts are considered to have been spent when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications can be used. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as needed.
The City’s general fund reserve policy consists of a Disaster Reserve of 15% of the general fund’s most recently adopted fiscal year operating budget and a Contingency Reserve of 10% of the general fund’s most recently adopted fiscal year operating budget. The use of the Disaster Reserve is limited to federal or state declared disasters and may only be used only after other available funds are exhausted, including the contingency reserve. The purpose of the Contingency reserve is to allow for the orderly implementation of a balancing strategy to address the fiscal impacts of unexpected events such as natural disasters, revenue impacts resulting from State actions or unfunded State mandates, unexpected loss of external funding from sources such as grants, unplanned loss of, or damage to, a City facility, mitigation of an emergency that poses a threat to public health and safety and adverse judicial actual that requires large cash payments to third parties.

The City is partially self-insured for workers’ compensation and general and automobile liability claims, and fully self-insured for unemployment claims. The City has been partially self-insured for workers’ compensation since 1974, and partially self-insured for general and automobile liability since 1978. There have been no significant changes in insurance coverage as compared to last year and settlements have not exceeded coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
The City’s workers’ compensation program maintains a self-insured retention of $750,000.
The City purchases an excess insurance policy that provides statutory coverage limits for any loss that exceeds the City’s self-insured retention. The excess insurance coverage consists of a $5 million pooled layer above the City’s self-insured retention amount plus the use of commercial insurance above the pooled layer. Employers’ Liability coverage is also included within the limits of the $5 million pooled layer.

NOTE 12 SELF-INSURANCE FUND (CONTINUED)
The City’s general and automobile liability program maintains a self-insured retention of $1,000,000. Excess liability coverage is provided through a Joint Powers Agreement. The City joined the Authority of California Cities Excess Liability (ACCEL) in July 1986. ACCEL is a public entity risk sharing pool created for the purpose of pooling various public sector risks. ACCEL began its 37th year in July 2023 with membership totaling 13 cities. ACCEL was formed under the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) provisions of State Law (Government Code Sections 990, 990.4, 990.8 and 65006515). In addition to the joint powers agreement, ACCEL is governed by bylaws, an investment policy, and a Memorandum of Coverage, adopted by the ACCEL members.
ACCEL now transfers most of its risk sharing exposures through the purchase of a series of commercial insurance policies underwritten by various carriers. ACCEL members have a $1 million self-insured retention. ACCEL pools the next $9 million of loss exposures, and commercial insurance carriers provide $44 million in coverage above that level. Thus, the City’s participation in ACCEL provides liability coverage of $55 million.
A Memorandum of Coverage acts as the instrument by which member cities are protected against covered losses above the self-insured retention (SIR). This document also serves as the manuscript form for which the commercial carriers provide coverage. Coverage includes comprehensive general and automobile liability protecting against bodily injury, property damage, public officials’ errors and omissions, personal injury, employment practices, as well as damages arising from owned, non-owned, and hired automobiles.
A Board of Directors (Board) consisting of one representative from each member city governs ACCEL. The Board controls all aspects of ACCEL policy including budgeting, finance, underwriting, and claims. ACCEL conducts annual financial, claims, and payroll audits, and an annual actuarial study. A retrospective rating is performed each year on the program year ended five years earlier. The retrospective rating determines each member’s share of losses and potential deposit return. ACCEL members share pooled losses above their self-insured retention.
Losses are paid from a pool of funds comprised of the member deposits. Deposits are actuarially determined to ensure that funds are available to pay any losses within the pooled layer. ACCEL collects a deposit from every member City for each program year in which the member participates. Separate deposit accounts are set for each member for each year of participation. Deposits are invested into pre-approved vehicles and each member account is credited monthly with investment income at the rate earned by the investment vehicle.
ACCEL adopted its investment policy in accordance with existing government code criteria.
Insurable property is covered for all risks by policies with a pooled aggregate limit of $1 billion. Earthquake and flood coverage have designated limits of $30 million per peril.
Unique risks such as airport liability, marine hull protection and indemnity, and boiler and machinery are fully insured. The City also maintains a faithful performance bond, and cyber liability insurance. The City filed three separate claims under the property insurance policy during fiscal year 2023. No other claims were filed during fiscal year 2023.

NOTE 12 SELF-INSURANCE FUND (CONTINUED)
The City’s self-insurance fund is financed through contributions made by the City’s General and Enterprise Funds. A cost allocation plan is used to apportion self-insurance fund costs.
An actuarial study is performed every two years. Actuarially determined liabilities in the fund include provisions for “incurred but not reported” claims. As of June 30, 2023, the estimated outstanding liabilities are $16,107,000 for workers’ compensation and $4,197,000 for general and automobile liability.
These liabilities are based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023. There are no unpaid claims for which annuity contracts have been purchased.
The City is self-insured for unemployment claims. At June 30, 2023, the liability for unemployment claims was $4,763, which is not included below. A summary of changes in claims liabilities is shown below:

Central Coast Water Authority
In 1991, the City’s electorate approved participation in the State Water Project (SWP). As a result, the City joined in the formation of the Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA) in September 1991. The purpose of the Central Coast Water Authority is to provide for the financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of certain local (non-state owned) facilities required to deliver water from the SWP to certain water purveyors and users in Santa Barbara County.
Each CCWA Member Agency, including the City of Santa Barbara, has entered into a Water Supply Agreement to provide for the development, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the CCWA Project. The purpose of the Water Supply Agreement is to assist in carrying out the purposes of CCWA with respect to the CCWA Project by: (1) requiring CCWA to sell, and the Santa Barbara Project participants to buy, a specified amount of water from CCWA (take or pay); and (2) assigning the Santa Barbara Project participant’s entitlement rights in the State Water Project to CCWA. Although the City does have an ongoing financial responsibility pursuant to the Water Supply Agreement between the City and CCWA, the City does not have an equity interest as defined by GASB Cod.

Central Coast Water Authority (Continued)
Each Santa Barbara Project participant is required to pay to CCWA an amount equal to its share of the total cost of “fixed project costs” and certain other costs in the proportion established in the Water Supply Agreement. This includes the Santa Barbara Project participant’s share of payments to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) under the State Water Supply Contract (including capital, operation, maintenance, power, and replacement costs of the DWR facilities), debt service on CCWA bonds, and all CCWA operating and administrative costs.
Each Santa Barbara Project participant is required to make payments under its Water Supply Agreement solely from the revenues of its water system. Each participant has agreed in its Water Supply Agreement to fix, prescribe, and collect rates and charges for its water system which will be at least sufficient to yield each fiscal year net revenues equal to 125% of the sum of (1) the payments required pursuant to the Water Supply Agreement, and (2) debt service on any existing participant obligation for which revenues are also pledged.
CCWA is composed of eight Member Agencies, all of which are public agencies. CCWA was organized and exists under a joint exercise of power agreement among the various participating public agencies. The Board of Directors is made up of one representative from each participating entity. Votes on the Board are apportioned between the entities based upon each entity’s pro-rata share of the water provided by the project. The City’s voting share of the project, based upon approximate allocation of State Water entitlement, is
11.47%. Operating and capital expenses are allocated among the members based upon various formulas recognizing the benefits of the various project components to each member.
On October 1, 1992, CCWA sold $177,200,000 in revenue bonds at a true interest cost of
6.64% to enable CCWA to finance a portion of the costs of constructing a water treatment plant to treat State water for use by various participating water purveyors and users within Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties, a transmission system to deliver such water to the participating water purveyors and users within Santa Barbara County, and certain local improvements to the water systems of some of the participating purveyors.
On November 1, 1996, CCWA sold $198,015,000 of revenue bonds at a true interest cost of
5.55% to defease CCWA’s $177,120,000 1992 revenue bonds and to pay certain costs of issuing the bonds. The 1996 bonds were issued in two series: Series A of $173,015,000 and Series B of $25,000,000. The Series B bonds are subject to mandatory redemption from amounts transferred from the Construction Fund and the Reserve Fund upon completion of the construction of CCWA facilities.
On September 28, 2006, CCWA sold $123,190,000 of revenue bonds at an average interest rate of 4.24% to refund $142,985,000 of outstanding 1996 Revenue Bonds with an average interest rate of 5.47%.

Cater Treatment Plant Cost Sharing Agreement
In 1978, the City of Santa Barbara entered into a cost sharing agreement with the Carpinteria Valley Water District (Carpinteria) and the Montecito Water District (Montecito) for regional water treatment at the Cater Water Treatment Plant (Treatment Plant). Under the agreement, Carpinteria and Montecito pay for the Treatment Plant operating costs according to each agency’s proportional share of total treated water volumes. Additionally, Carpinteria and Montecito jointly pay for 39.7% of capital maintenance, renewal, and replacement costs.
The Districts also agreed to reimburse the City for a pro rata portion of capital expenses of the Treatment Plant including debt issued by and loans secured by the City to make the capital improvements. The City currently has two loans outstanding with the California State Department of Water Resources for improvements to the Plant (see Note 7) with principal balances outstanding totaling $19,743,917 ($2,218,366 and $17,525,550).

Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board
The Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board (COMB) is a California Joint Powers Agency (JPA) formed in 1956 pursuant to an agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation.
The agreement transferred to the Cachuma Member Units the responsibility to operate, repair and maintain all Cachuma Project facilities, except Bradbury Dam, which the Bureau of Reclamation has continued to operate. COMB’s Member Units include Carpinteria Valley Water District, City of Santa Barbara, Goleta Water District, and Montecito Water District. An Amended and Restated Agreement for the Establishment of a Board of Control to Operate and Maintain the Cachuma Project (Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board) was adopted on May 23, 1996 and amended on September 16, 2003. In October 2018 the COMB JPA Separation Agreement was signed, acknowledging the removal of the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District Improvement District No. 1 from COMB membership.
COMB is responsible for diversion of water to the South Coast through the Tecolote Tunnel, and operation and maintenance of the South Coast Conduit pipeline, flow control valves, meters, and instrumentation at control stations, and turnouts along the South Coast Conduit and at four regulating reservoirs. COMB coordinates closely with the Bureau of Reclamation and Member Units’ staff to ensure that water supplies meet daily demands. The Fisheries Division of COMB conducts fish monitoring and habitat improvement projects to implement provisions of the October 2000 Lower Santa Ynez River Fish Management Plan. Following is a summary of the preliminary Fiscal Year 2023 year-end COMB expenditures, as presented at the August 28, 2023, COMB Board Meeting:
Operations Division $ 7,217,379
Fisheries Division 1,357,231
Operations Subtotal $ 8,574,610
Total Fiscal Year 2023 Expenditures $ 8,574,610
Expenditures for Fiscal Year 2023 represent normal costs for operation and maintenance of Cachuma Project facilities, as well as some special projects. The numbers above represent gross expenditures, prior to any revenue offsets from grants or other funds. Expenditures are allocated to Member Units in relation to percentage share of Cachuma Project yield.

Cachuma Conservation Release Board
The Cachuma Conservation Release Board (CCRB) is a joint powers agency formed in January 1973 by Carpinteria Valley Water District, the City of Santa Barbara, Goleta Water District, and the Montecito Water District. In January 2011, Carpinteria withdrew its membership. CCRB was established to represent its members in protecting their Cachuma Project water rights and other related interests. CCRB’s activities are funded by its Members, which in turn are funded by their water rate payors.
In 1993, CCRB began development of a Fish Management Plan Program in the Lower Santa Ynez River with many federal, state, and local partners. CCRB was the primary implementing agency of the fisheries program until January 2011. At that time, implementation of the Fish Management Plan was transferred to the Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board (COMB). Since that time, CCRB has focused on issues related to the Cachuma Project water rights.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, on behalf of the Cachuma Project Member Units, holds the Cachuma Project water right permits, and CCRB is the agency responsible for the actions and decisions relative to the terms and conditions of those permits for CCRB Member Units. These include issues related to downstream releases of water from Cachuma Reservoir for the benefit and protection of steelhead/rainbow trout and their habitats, and protection of the Cachuma Project water supply. Since 2000, CCRB has participated in multiple water rights hearings before the State Water Resources Control Board to establish the Cachuma Project operating parameters necessary to conform to the various parties’ water rights. Since that time CCRB has participated in hearings related to the Final EIR on the water rights issues and continued legal and technical consultation for a new Water Rights Order (WR 2019-148), which the Water Resources Control Board ultimately approved and issued in September 2019. With its issuance, CCRB is now assisting Reclamation in implementing requirements of the Order for the Cachuma Project.
In some instances, the costs for this work are shared with other parties that have similar interests. Following is a summary of preliminary Fiscal Year 2023 year-end CCRB expenditures as of June 30, 2023, for the portion of these activities that CCRB funds, as presented at the September 7, 2023, CCRB Board Meeting:

NOTE 14 EMPLOYEE MORTGAGE LOAN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
On October 2, 2001, the City Council created an Employee Mortgage Loan Assistance Program (EMLAP). The purpose of the program was to help the City attract and retain highly qualified employees by providing assistance in dealing with the high cost of home ownership in the Santa Barbara area. The goals of the program included establishing a more stable workforce and, by promoting local homeownership, reducing commuting distances and times. The program was open to all permanent employees who are “first-time homebuyers” (defined as not having owned a market-rate home on the South Coast of Santa Barbara County within the last three years). Homes purchased under the City’s EMLAP must be located on the South Coast of Santa Barbara County. The City’s EMLAP was structured using a combination of an employee down payment, traditional bank mortgage financing, and City-provided financing as follows:
Employee Down Payment (Minimum) 5 %
Bank-Provided 1st Deed of Trust Loan 80
City-Funded 2nd Deed of Trust Loan (Maximum) 15
Total Financing 100 %
Under the terms of the EMLAP, City participation was limited to a purchase price of $1,250,000. Therefore, the maximum second deed of trust loan available to an employee was $187,500 (15% of $1,250,000). Interest on the City loan is variable, adjusted annually, and is set equal to the most recent quarterly interest rate paid the City for the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF rate) balances. The loan is repayable over 15 years, with interest only due for the first five years, converting to a 30-year amortization schedule payable over 10 years with a balloon payment due at the end of 15 years. Payments are made by payroll deduction. To assist the employee, the City also paid up to four points to the bank on the employee’s first deed of trust loan up to $40,000 to “buy down” the interest rate on the first trust deed. The points paid by the City are to be repaid when the second trust deed is refinanced or if the home is sold. However, if the employee maintains continuous employment with the City for five years from the date of the loan, then 25% of the value of the points loan obligation will be forgiven, and after 10 years 50% will be forgiven. Upon termination of employment the second deed of trust loan, and any related points, are payable either on the fifth anniversary of the loan, or 180 days from the last day of employment, whichever is longer.
As of June 30, 2023, the City has $86,814 in employee loans outstanding. The City has loaned all approved funds and is not currently accepting any new applications for EMLAP loans.

The deficit in the Self Insurance Internal Service Fund represents the present value of future claim payments that are anticipated to be paid in future fiscal years. The deficit will be funded by increasing charges to other funds in future fiscal years. The deficit in the Postemployment Benefits Internal Service Fund represents the benefit liability of future retiree medical and sick leave benefits. This liability grew significantly in fiscal year 2020- 2021 due to the City’s change in healthcare plans to CalPERS medical, which includes a benefit option for retirees age 65 and older, for which the City will incur some costs.

2. retire from City with an industrial disability.
The City contributes an amount each month toward the purchase of medical insurance for the retiree and his/her spouse or domestic partner registered with the City Clerk or the Secretary of State, if applicable. Eligibility and the monthly amount is determined by the applicable Memorandum of Agreement of the retired employee. The payment is based upon the employees’ years of service up to a maximum of 35 years, multiplied by the annual amount for the respective employee unit.
The City will continue to make its contribution until the retiree reaches age 65 or dies, whichever occurs first, provided however, that if the retiree dies before reaching the age of 65 and there is a surviving spouse or registered domestic partner, the City’s contribution shall cease when the retiree would have reached age 65. Thereafter, the spouse may remain on the insurance plan, at his/her own cost, subject to the conditions set forth by the insurance company.
Beginning January 1, 2020, the City replaced its current medical plans with medical plans offered through CalPERS Health Benefits Program. Contracting agencies such as the City of Santa Barbara are required to provide an employer health contribution toward the cost of the monthly premium for all employees and annuitants. Retirees age 65 or older have the option to purchase a Medicare Supplement plan offered through CalPERS, and the Public Employees’ Medical & Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) requires the City to make the minimum contributions including administrative fee toward the retiree’s health premium and allows for various contribution methods. This change to the plan resulted in a significant increase to the total OPEB liability for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. However, it does not apply to retirees electing Medicare coverage in nonCalPERS medical plans.
For the Police bargaining unit only: The City will continue the normal retiree medical allowance past the age of 65 for the six specified employees named in the Police Memorandum of Understanding who retire after December 23, 2006 and thereafter certify, on an annual basis, that they are not eligible to apply for Medicare Part A (hospitalization) coverage on the basis of their City service, other covered employment, through a spouse’s covered employment, or through any other means.

Retiree Medical Care Benefits and Implied Subsidy of Retiree Health Insurance Premiums (Continued)
Plan Description (Continued)
In addition to the direct City paid contributions, retirees covered under the City’s plans receive pre-65 benefits that are subsidized as the cost of their coverage is based on blended (active and retiree) premium rates instead of normally higher retiree only rates.
This implicit subsidy is also considered in the valuation for retirees electing City healthcare plan coverage. However, it does not apply to retirees electing coverage in non-City plans.
Employees Covered
As of the June 30, 2023, the following current and former employees were covered by the benefit terms under the plan:
Number of
Covered
Participants
Inactive Currently Receiving Benefits 391
Inactive Entitled to but not yet Receiving Benefits 603 Active Employees* 960
Total 1,954
*Excludes active employees who would not meet service eligibility at age 65.
Contributions
The City currently administers its retiree medical plan. There is no requirement to contribute any amount beyond the pay-as-you-go contributions. If retirees elect medical insurance coverage through the City, the retiree pays the entire cost of the premiums, less the City’s monthly payment to the retiree. The City is evaluating various options for funding the postretirement health benefits liability. The City has not set up a trust for purposes of funding the required retiree medical payments but continues to fund the benefit on a pay-as-you-go basis in the current year.
For the year ended June 30, 2023, cash benefit payments were $835,557 and the estimated implied subsidy was $502,755 resulting in total payments of $1,338,312.

Plan Description
The City provides additional retirement benefits based on unused accumulated sick leave to eligible employees who retire with CalPERS pension benefits immediately upon termination of employment from the City. This is a single employer defined benefits OPEB plan. Under this plan, unused accumulated sick leave balances are converted to credited service that is used to provide additional retirement benefits. Annuity benefits are determined based on credited service, final average compensation, and the CalPERS benefit formulas. Employees are eligible for benefits if they terminate employment at a minimum of age 50 and 5 years’ service. Eligibility is applicable to employees who have accrued at least 500 hours of unused sick leave.

A two-year financial plan is prepared from which annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund and certain special revenue funds. Effective fiscal control for debt service is achieved through bond indenture provisions. While budgets are prepared for the City’s capital projects, capital projects generally span more than one year and are effectively controlled at the project level.
In February of each year, departments submit their proposed budgets to the City Administrator. These proposals are reviewed and considered and adjusted as necessary based on funding limitations and priorities. In mid-April, the City Administrator presents a recommended budget to the City Council. From April through mid-June, public hearings are held, and the recommended budget is reviewed in detail with the Council and Finance Committee. The budget is adopted by June 30.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department, and program. Budgets are monitored at varying levels of classification detail; however, expenditures cannot legally exceed appropriations at the department level for the General Fund and at the fund level for all other legally budgeted funds. Department heads may make transfers of appropriations between line items within a program and across programs if they are within the same major object category (i.e., Salaries & Benefits, Supplies & Services, Capital, etc.). The City Administrator is authorized to transfer amounts within individual departmental budgets, both between programs and between major object categories. All other adjustments to appropriations that change the total of a department (within the General Fund) or fund must be approved by Council. The FEMA Reimbursement Fund, Library Gift Fund and Canine Unit Fund did not have legally adopted budgets during the current year.
Budgeted amounts, as shown, reflect the originally adopted budget and the final budget that includes re-appropriated prior year encumbrances as well as any approved revisions as detailed below. The original and amended operating budget for the General Fund is shown in the table below.
Originally Adopted Budget $ 187,447,863
Re-appropriated Prior Year Encumbrances 1,803,282
Amendments 12,159,339
Amended Budget $ 201,410,484
Budgeted amendments in the General Fund totaled $14.0 million. $1.8 million was carried forward from Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) as encumbrances made in that year. The remaining $12.2 million was related to City Council approved FY23 budget amendments. The largest change was $5.7 million carried forward from FY22 associated with the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) federal emergency grant to maintain services and address costs related to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

The second largest amendment was related to a $4.0 million transfer to the Self Insurance Fund (SIF) to help stabilize the SIF reserves further to fund City's insurance programs and reduce future funding challenges. Additional notable budget amendments included $1.2 million for Short-Term Rental Enforcement, $0.6 million related to Professional Service Agreements for Permit, Plan Check, and Inspection services, $0.25 million to replenish the Human Services Grant Fund (resolution 22‐125), $0.2 million for Tree Replacement Maintenance funded by a litigation settlement, and $0.18 million related to the purchase of Police Service Weapons. The City’s Affordable Housing Fund had an originally Adopted Fiscal Year 2023 Budget of $1.3 million that was amended by $0.9 million to an Amended Budget of $2.2 million. The $0.9 million increase was to fund a property acquisition loan for an Affordable Housing Project located at 602 and 619 Kentia Avenue to preserve affordable housing units for current special needs/disabled Low-Income residents to prevent the possibility of the property being sold on the open market and the tenants losing their housing.
NOTE 2 MODIFIED APPROACH FOR CITY STREETS INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL ASSETS In accordance with GASB Statement No. 34, the City is required to account for and report infrastructure capital assets. The City defines infrastructure as the basic physical assets including the streets system, water and wastewater treatment plants, drainage systems, bridges, and sidewalks. Each major infrastructure network can be divided into subsystems.
For example, the street network can be divided into concrete and asphalt pavements, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, streetlights, traffic control devices, landscaping and land. Subsystem detail is not presented in these basic financial statements; however, the City maintains detailed information on these subsystems.
The City has elected to use the “Modified Approach” as defined by GASB Statement No. 34 for infrastructure reporting for its Streets Pavement System. Under GASB Statement No. 34, eligible infrastructure capital assets are not required to be depreciated under the following requirements:
The City manages the eligible infrastructure capital assets using an asset management system with the characteristics of (1) an up-to-date periodic inventory is performed; (2) condition assessments and summary of results using a measurement scale is completed, and (3) annual amounts to maintain and preserve the eligible infrastructure capital assets at the established condition assessment level are estimated.
The City documents that the eligible infrastructure capital assets are being preserved at the established and disclosed condition assessment level.
The pavement network within the City has approximately 245 miles of paved surfaces, comprised of 126 miles of residential streets, 47 miles of principal arterial and minor arterial streets, 69 miles of collector streets and three miles of alleys. This equates to almost 41 million square feet of pavement.

The City has developed a Pavement Management System (PMS) to inventory and document the physical condition of the City’s street network, including a pavement preservation program. Every two years the City updates a Pavement Management System Report, which identifies and documents the updated condition of the City’s street network.
City-owned streets are classified based on land use, access, and traffic utilization into the following five classifications: principal arterial, minor arterial, collector, residential, and alley.
A condition assessment is performed, through physical street inspections, as part of each biennial report update covering at least one-third of the City’s streets on a rotating basis. As part of the report, each street segment is assigned a condition rating based on a variety of potential defects.
A Pavements Condition Index (PCI) rating, a nationally recognized index, is calculated for each street segment and is expressed in a continuous scale from 0 to 100, with 100 being a brand new street and 0 being a badly deteriorated street with virtually no remaining life. The following PCI thresholds, which are generally accepted industry standards, were assigned to each street segment:
Condition Rating
Excellent/Good 71 to 100
At Risk 51 to 70
Poor 25 to 50
Very Poor/Failed 0 to 24
The City’s Pavement Management System provides staff with current technical data to target a desirable level of pavement performance, while optimizing the expenditure of limited fiscal resources. The following table summarizes the average citywide PCI biennially reported since 2004.

Prior to 2012, the City previously used the then industry standard MicroPAVER pavement management software, but in 2012 transitioned to the StreetSaver pavement management software, which is widely used throughout California. The StreetSaver program has several advantages over MicroPAVER, one being the fact that StreetSaver provides PCI information in real-time. StreetSaver utilizes a street segment’s actual inspection and maintenance history, in conjunction with standard pavement deterioration curves, to provide a real-time PCI. Real-time PCI information, as reported by StreetSaver, is more accurate than PCI information based on a past inspection or maintenance and repair treatment, as reported by MicroPAVER. This real-time PCI information provides the City with the greatest opportunity to effectively manage the PMS and accurately report the current condition of the street network.
As a result of this software change coupled with ongoing budgetary constraints, the average citywide PCI dropped significantly between 2010 (PCI 69) and 2012 (PCI 63). The PCI had generally been declining since 2002 due to budgetary constraints.
PCI rating levels in the mid 60’s to low 70’s range allows minor cracking and raveling of the pavement along with minor roughness that could be noticeable to drivers traveling at posted speeds. The City’s formal policy with regard to pavement condition levels is to maintain a minimum average rating of no less than 60 (“At Risk”) for all streets. This PCI was selected because there is a significant cost increase to maintain streets averaging below a PCI of 60.
In the most recent Pavement Management System report that was run for 2023, the City’s street network was rated an average PCI index value of 66 (“At Risk”) with the detail condition as follows:
Approximate
Condition PCI Rating Percent of Streets
Excellent/Good 71-100 43
At Risk 51-70 32
Poor 25-50 22
Very Poor/Failed 0-24 3
In general, streets are constantly deteriorating resulting from the following four factors:
(1) traffic using the streets; (2) the sun’s ultra-violet rays drying out and breaking down the top layer of pavement; (3) utility company/private development interests trenching operations; and (4) water damage from natural precipitation and other urban runoff. The City is continuously taking actions to minimize the deterioration through short-term maintenance activities such as pothole patching.

In January 2014, the former State Route 225 was relinquished to the City from the State, adding over 4.5 centerline miles of primary arterial roadway to the City’s network. This equates to nearly 1.4 million additional square feet of asphalt pavement. The additional roadway segments were inspected in summer 2014 and were included in the analyses used for the 2014 report. Caltrans micro-surfaced the entire route in summer 2011 and as a result, the roadway segments were in “good/excellent” condition, with PCIs generally in the 80s. As a result of adding a large amount of square footage with relatively high PCIs, the citywide PCI increased slightly from a PCI of 63 in 2012 to a PCI of 64 in 2014. While this addition had a short-term positive effect on the citywide PCI, over the long-term, the unfunded backlog of roadwork will be increased due to the increase in pavement square footage requiring maintenance.
In Fiscal Year 2017, the PCI had fallen below the established condition assessment level with a citywide PCI of 59. The City addressed the issue by committing to increase annual expenditures on street maintenance projects. On November 7, 2017, a 1% general sales tax measure (Measure C) was approved, with significant community support for infrastructure needs, which will generate the necessary funds required to improve the citywide PCI rating.
In Fiscal Year 2018, expenditures on street maintenance increased by more than $1.0 million, in part due to Measure C. In Fiscal Year 2019, expenditures increased significantly by nearly three times Fiscal Year 2018 expenditures due to Measure C revenues.
During Fiscal Year 2020, the world faced an unprecedented global event, as the impacts of COVID-19 unfolded. The impacts of the pandemic were substantial to revenues across the City. Thanks to delinquent collections, Measure C revenues were not impacted to the degree that other revenues such as Transient Occupancy Taxes. However, in response to cash flow concerns citywide and the uncertainty of how revenues would be impacted, almost $6 million in various Measure C project budgets were reduced from the Fiscal Year 2020 budget. Budget reductions were also taken into account for Fiscal Year 2021 and Fiscal Year 2022 although Measure C revenues came in $2.0 million higher than expected; the funds were committed to competing City priorities.
In Fiscal Year 2023, the City expended $13.1 million on street maintenance including both construction and soft costs (design, construction management, inspection, and required concrete improvements etc.). Additionally, the City hired a pavement engineering consultant to perform city-wide pavement inspections and reevaluate our pavement conditions based on actual conditions vs. the pavement management system calculated PCI based on work performed. The City’s street network was rated an average PCI index value of 66.

The City estimates that to reach and maintain a PCI rating of 70, approximately $48 million would have needed to be spent in 2023, and an average of $17 million would need to be budgeted for the next four years (2025 – 2028). The amount of deferred maintenance would have been reduced to $95 million in 2023 and increased to $104 million by 2028. Even with the significant increase in pavement maintenance funding made possible through Measure C, deferred maintenance costs will continue to increase for the next several years while the City improves its PCI toward 70.
A schedule of estimated annual amount calculated to maintain and preserve its streets at the current PCI rating compared to actual expenditures for street maintenance for the last five years is presented below:
Estimate
(to Maintain
Fiscal Year Current PCI) Expenditures PCI Rating
2018-2019 8,400,000 $ 11,530,346 $ 61
2019-2020 7,300,000 15,033,630 62
2020-2021 7,300,000 13,867,744 62
2021-2022 8,200,000 10,167,491 63
2022-2023 12,000,000 13,128,806 66
The City’s ongoing street preservation program was developed with the goal of improving the condition rating of City streets to a score of 70. The City considers a score of 70-75 to be an industry standard maintenance level that is the most cost-effective condition to maintain.
Due to a lack of available funds for many years, the overall condition of the road network dropped as evidenced by the PCI rating to a point where less expensive preventative maintenance treatments, such as slurry seal, are no longer effective for many streets.
As a result, more expensive pavement rehabilitation treatments are required, such as grind and overlay, thus significantly increasing the cost to maintain the road network. Although the PCI has increased by a few points over the past several years, more expensive pavement rehabilitation treatments will continue to be required until the PCI reaches 70, when less expensive preventative maintenance treatments will be effective for the majority of the City’s street network.
Funding for street pavement maintenance projects continues to increase as the City is committed to improving this critical infrastructure. The Fiscal Year 2024 adopted budget includes $23.8 million in appropriations for street paving projects, which is designed to ensure a continued improvement in the PCI rating. Additionally, the Measure C Oversight Committee has established the maintenance of City Streets with the goal to reach and maintain a 75 in 5-years as one of their top five priorities to fund. (143)

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 reassessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is reassessed 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.
In Fiscal Year 2018, the City engaged HDL, Coren & Cone to provide data for the statistical section of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Historical data was updated based upon this information.

This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds.

(2) Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all overlapping rates apply to all city property owners. (3) City's Share of 1% Levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the City. The ERAF portion of the City's Levy has been subtracted where known.(4) Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the City/Agency preparing the statistical section information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft. Beginning in fiscal year 2014 the Total Direct Rate no longer includes revenue generated from the former redevelopment tax rate areas. Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations are assumed to have been resolved during fiscal year 2013. For the purposes of this report, residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City/Agency in the same proportions as general fund revenue.

AGENDA DATE: April 16, 2024
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: City Attorney’s Office
SUBJECT: Short-Term Rental Enforcement Pilot Program Update and Request for Extension
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council receive an update on the Short-Term Rental Enforcement Pilot Program and extend the program for another fiscal year. No additional funding is requested.
DISCUSSION:
On April 25, 2023, the City Council approved the appropriation of $1,175,000 in funds for the creation of a 12-Month Short-Term Rental Enforcement Pilot Program. Being mindful of spending taxpayer money, the City Attorney’s Office took all possible steps to use the allocated funds judiciously. To date, $99,083.59 has been used from the allocated amount of $1,175,000. In addition, the Program has successfully collected $502,879.40 in back taxes, interest, penalties, and fees ($269,271.96 for properties in the coastal zone and $233,607.44 for properties in the inland area).
The Program is currently set to expire at the end of this fiscal year. The City Attorney’s Office is requesting that the City Council extend this Program for another fiscal year to July 2025. No additional funding is being requested. This report contains the progress of the Program and the funds used to date.
Progress of the Pilot Program
The 12-Month Short-Term Rental Enforcement Pilot Program officially launched on August 1, 2023. Since that date, the Program has enforced or is currently enforcing 151 cases. A telephone hotline and an online complaint portal were created for citizens to report short-term rental violations. There are currently 57 cases in progress. The Program has successfully obtained voluntary compliance on 45 cases. Eighteen cases were determined to be unfounded. Six cases were determined to be outside of the city limits.
