INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of Santa Clara, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the City of Santa Clara Electrical Utility Enterprise Fund (Silicon Valley Power) of the City of Santa Clara, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Silicon Valley Power’s basic financial statements as listed in the Table of Contents. We did not audit the financial statements of Northern California Power Agency (NCPA), Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC), M-S-R Energy Authority (MSR EA) and M-S-R Public Power Agency (MSR PPA) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, related to the calculation of the Investments in Joint Ventures. At June 30, 2023, the Investment in these Joint Ventures collectively represents 4.9%, 6.1% and 1.2%, respectively, of total assets, net position and revenues of Silicon Valley Power. The financial statements of the NCPA, TANC, MSR EA and MSR PPA were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the calculation of the Investments in Joint Ventures, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of the other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Silicon Valley Power as of June 30, 2023, and the changes in financial position and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Silicon Valley Power, 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 opinion.
Responsibilities of Management’s for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these 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 Silicon Valley Power’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
DRAFT
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 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 generally accepted 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 generally accepted auditing standards, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. x 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. x 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 Silicon Valley Power’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. x 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.
x Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Silicon Valley Power’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We a re 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.
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited Silicon Valley Power’s June 30, 2022 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated November 30, 2022. In our opinion the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only Silicon Valley Power and do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2023, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
DRAFT
Changes in Accounting Principles
Management adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 96, Public- Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements , which became effective during the year ended June 30, 2023. As a result, the balances of the SBITA payable and intangible right-to- use assets were $1,437,230 as of July 1, 2022. The Silicon Valley Power restated and increased the balances in that amount, and the net effect on the beginning net position and fund balance was zero. See the SBITA disclosure in Note 4 and 5.
The emphasis of this matter does not constitute a modification to our opinions.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other required supplementary information as listed in the Table of Contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 15, 2023, on our consideration of the City of Santa Clara’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 of Santa Clara’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 of Santa Clara’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

5 Management’s Discussion and Analysis
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of Silicon Valley Power (SVP) offers a comprehensive overview of SVP's financial activities during the fiscal years concluding on June 30, 2023 and 2022. The purpose of this MD&A is to provide a holistic assessment of SVP's financial performance. To gain a deeper insight into SVP's financial performance, readers are encouraged to examine this MD&A alongside the Basic Financial Statements and their accompanying notes. This combined approach will enhance their comprehension of SVP's financial performance.
SVP, a distinct enterprise fund under the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Clara (City), was created to manage and report on the City's electric power operations. SVP holds ownership of power generation facilities, maintains investments in joint ventures engaged in electricity production, and actively participates in power trading on the open market. These activities are undertaken with the primary objective of ensuring that SVP's retail customers, including the residents, institutions, and businesses within the City, have access to a dependable source of electric power at affordable rates.
The operations of SVP have been significantly influenced by the deregulation of the electric power industry in California, a topic elaborated upon in Note 9 within the financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Key financial highlights for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 are summarized as follows:
The total assets and deferred outflows of resources surpassed the liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $1,071.3 million, representing a notable increase of $100.5 million or 10.4% compared to the previous fiscal year's position of $970.8 million. This growth is primarily attributed to a $32.2 million expansion in the net investment of capital assets and a $68.2 million increase in unrestricted net position. Operating revenues exhibited a robust increase of $120.1 million or 21.2%, climbing from $567.0 million to $687.1 million. This growth can be chiefly attributed to heightened consumption, the implementation of an 8% rate hike in January 2023, and the recognition of gains in wholesale future trading.
Operating expenses surged by $104.7 million or 19.0%, ascending from $550.4 million to $655.1 million. This uptick is primarily the result of higher costs associated with purchased resources.
SVP’s total outstanding long-term debt saw a reduction of $14.4 million, declining from $142.8 million to $128.4 million during the current fiscal year.

Increase (Decrease)
For the years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021
In fiscal year 2022-23, SVP's retail operating revenues reached $556.2 million, showing substantial growth from $497.9 million in fiscal year 2021-22 and $453.3 million in fiscal year 2020-21. These figures represent significant increases of approximately 11.7% compared to the preceding fiscal year (2021-22) and 9.8% compared to the fiscal year before that (2020-21). The primary driver behind the growth in fiscal year 2022-23 was the implementation of an 8% rate increase effective as of January 1, 2023, coupled with heightened consumption levels.
In fiscal year 2022-23, SVP's retail operating expenses amounted to $631.0 million, representing a significant uptick from $526.5 million in fiscal year 2021-22 and $432.3 million in fiscal year DRAFT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
9 2020-21. These numbers indicate a notable increase of $104.5 million or 19.8% compared to the preceding fiscal year (2021-22) and $94.2 million or 21.8% compared to the fiscal year before that (2020-21). The higher retail operating expenses for fiscal year 2022-23 were primarily driven by the need to make additional market purchases to meet the rising demand for power.
In fiscal year 2022-23, revenues generated from wholesale resources sales, which encompass both gas and power, reached $85.0 million. This figure represents a substantial increase compared to the $36.0 million recorded in fiscal year 2021-22 and the $22.3 million reported in fiscal year 2020-21. The increase is mainly attribute to a $60 million gain recognized in the wholesale resource trading activities in fiscal year 2022-23. Simultaneously, the cost of purchasing wholesale resources for SVP was $19.4 million in fiscal year 2022-23, $18.3 million in fiscal year 2021-22, and $12.3 million in fiscal year 2020-21. The increase in wholesale resource sales in fiscal year 2022-23 can be attributed to the recognition of gains in wholesale future trading. However, the increase in wholesale power purchases during this fiscal year was primarily due to the elevated prices prevailing in the resource market.
Interest income for fiscal year 2022-23 amounted to $8.4 million, an increase from the $6.1 million reported in fiscal year 2021-22 and the $6.8 million recorded in fiscal year 2020-21. This increase in the most recent fiscal year can be primarily attributed to the higher interest rate environment. Conversely, interest expense for fiscal year 2022-23 was $2.7 million, which is a decrease from the $3.1 million in fiscal year 2021-22 and the $3.8 million in fiscal year 2020-21.
For more detailed information regarding interest income and expense, please refer to Note 5 in the financial statements.
As of June 30, 2023, SVP's net position stood at $1,071.3 million, reflecting a $100.5 million increase from the preceding fiscal year. Within this total, there was a $32.2 million increase in the net investment in capital assets, a $0.1 million increase in the amount restricted for contractual obligations, and a $68.2 million increase in unrestricted net position.
CAPITAL ASSETS
As of the end of fiscal year 2022-23, SVP had invested $655.8 million in capital assets, net of depreciation. Most of this investment was allocated to power generation facilities, with the remaining portion distributed across transmission and distribution assets, right-to-use buildings, and subscriptions for information technology arrangements.
As of June 30, 2023, SVP had several projects that were either completed or in progress. In the fiscal year 2022-23, the Capital Improvement Projects Budget included appropriations for significant investments in substation improvements for the upcoming years.
For more comprehensive information regarding SVP's capital assets, please refer to Note 4 in the financial statements.

17 NOTE 1 – DEFINITION OF THE REPORTING ENTITY
The City of Santa Clara (the City), California’s Electric Utility Enterprise Fund, which began operating as Silicon Valley Power (SVP) in 1997, commenced operations over 100 years ago in 1896. Originally, SVP constructed a lighting plant consisting of forty-six 2000 candlepower direct current lamps and a dynamo (a type of electric generator) which entered into service in October 1896. In late 1903, SVP invested $5,000 to convert the system to alternating current and abandoned the small generating plant. Wholesale power was purchased from United Gas and Electric Company of San Jose.
Between 1903 and 1965, SVP purchased all of its electric power requirements from investor- owned utilities. In 1965, it received an allocation of power from the Federal Central Valley Project and began to diversify its resources. SVP became a charter member of the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) in June 1968. Throughout the 1970’s, SVP and NCPA worked on behalf of all municipal electric utilities in Northern California to gain access to wholesale transmission markets and to jointly develop cost-effective electric generation resources.
In 1980, SVP became a generating utility for the first time in 73 years with the start of operations of the 6-Megawatt Cogen No. 1 power plant. In 1983, the 110 Megawatt NCPA Geothermal Project, the first municipally owned and operated geothermal power plant in the United States, entered service with SVP as lead partner holding a 55% participation share. Subsequently, SVP participated in further jointly owned power generation projects including hydroelectric, natural gas and coal fired generation. In 2005, SVP placed the 147 Megawatt Don Von Raesfeld Power Plant into service.
Today, SVP has grown to approximately 8,431 streetlights and serves approximately 59,271 electric customers. As SVP looks to the future, it continues to be responsive to the electric market development by increasing its renewable power resources, reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint, and working with its customers to enhance the value they receive from municipal ownership of their electric utility.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Basis of Presentation
SVP’s Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States of America. The electric enterprise fund is included in the City’s Annual DRAFT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 18 Comprehensive Financial Report, and therefore, these financial statements do not purport to represent the financial position and changes in financial position of the City.
B. Basis of Accounting
SVP reports its activities as a proprietary fund type (Enterprise Fund) which is maintained on the accrual basis of accounting wherein revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned regardless of whether they are received, and expenses are recognized in the period in which the related liabilities are incurred. Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and activities.
During the year ended June 30, 2022, SVP implemented the following GASB Statement:
The GASB issued Statement No. 87 "Leases.” The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement requires recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities. To be consistent with the Citywide implementation, the provisions of this Statement were implemented during fiscal year 2022.
As a result, the beginning the balances of leases receivable and deferred inflows of resources related to leases were $2,832,684 as of July 1, 2021. The balances of the lease payable and intangible right-to-use asset were $2,916,623 as of July 1, 2021. SVP restated and increased the balances in that amount and the net effect on beginning net position was zero.
The GASB issued Statement No. 89 "Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred Before the End of a Construction Period.” The objectives of this Statement are to enhance the relevance and comparability of information about capital assets and the cost of borrowing for a reporting period and to simplify accounting for certain interest costs. This Statement requires that interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period be recognized as an expense in the period in which the cost is incurred for financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. As a result, interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period will not be included in the historical cost of a capital asset reported in the financial statements. The provisions of this Statement were implemented during fiscal year 2022. The implementation had no effect on the financial statements.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 19 The GASB issued Statement No. 93 “Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates.” The primary objective of this Statement is to address accounting and financial reporting implications that result from the replacement of an interbank offered rate (IBOR). The provisions of this Statement were implemented during fiscal year 2022. The implementation had no effect on the financial statements.
The GASB issued Statement No. 97 “Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans-An Amendment of GASB Statements No.14 and No. 84, and a Supersession of GASB Statement No. 32.” The objectives of this statement are to (1) increase consistency and comparability related to reporting of fiduciary component units in circumstances in which a potential component unit does not have a governing board and the primary government performs the duties that a governing board typically would perform; (2) mitigate costs associated with the reporting of certain defined contribution pension plans, defined contribution other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans, and employee benefit plans other than pension plans or OPEB plans (other employee benefit plans) as fiduciary component units in fiduciary fund financial statements; and (3) enhance the relevance, consistency, and comparability of the accounting and financial reporting for Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 457 deferred compensation plans (Section 457 plans) that meet the definition of a pension plan and for benefits provided through those plans. This statement becomes effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2021. The implementation had no effect on the financial statements.
The GASB issued Statement No. 99 “Omnibus 2022.” The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance comparability in reporting and improve the consistency of authoritative literature by addressing practice issues identified during implementation and application of certain GASB statements. The provisions of this Statement related to LIBOR, SNAP, and Leases, were implemented during fiscal year 2022.
During the year ended June 30, 2023, SVP implemented the following GASB Statement:
The GASB issued Statement No. 91 “Conduit Debt Obligation.” The objective of this statement is to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practices. This statement becomes effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The implementation had no effect on the financial statements.
The GASB issued Statement No. 92 “Omnibus 2020.” The objective of this statement is to enhance comparability in reporting and improve the consistency of authoritative literature by addressing practice issues identified during implantation of certain GASB statements. This statement becomes effective upon issuance for requirements related to GASB 87. For GASB 73, GASB 74, and GASB 84 as well as measurement of liabilities associated with asset retirement DRAFT

The GASB issued Statement No. 94 “Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements.” The objective of this statement is to address issues related to public-private and public-public partnership arrangements and to provide guidance for accounting and financial reporting for availability payment arrangements. This statement becomes effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2022. The implementation had no effect on the financial statements.
The GASB issued Statement No. 96 “Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements.” The objective of this statement is to provide guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users. This statement becomes effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2022. The provisions of this State were implemented during the fiscal year 2022-23.
As a result, the balances of the SBITA payable and intangible right-to-use SBITA asset were $1,437,230 as of July 1, 2022. SVP restated and increased the balances in that amount, and the net effect on beginning net position and fund balance was zero. See the disclosure in Note 5.
SVP is analyzing the effects of the following pronouncements and plans to adopt them by the effective dates:
The GASB issued Statement No. 100 “Accounting Changes and Errors Corrections.” The objective of this statement is to establish accounting and financial reporting requirements for (a) accounting changes and (b) the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements.
This statement becomes effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2023. SVP is currently evaluating the impact on the financial statements.
The GASB issued Statement No. 101 “Compensated Absences.” The objective of this statement is to amend the existing requirements for the recognition of compensated absences liability. This statement becomes effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2023. SVP is currently evaluating the impact on the financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus
Enterprise funds are accounted for on a cost of services or economic resources measurement focus, which means that all liabilities associated with the activity are included on their Statement of Net Position. Enterprise fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Reported net position is segregated into three categories – net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 21 D. Cash and Investments
SVP’s cash and investments pool is maintained by the City except for fiscal agent cash and investments.
While maintaining safety and liquidity, the City maximizes investment return by pooling its available cash for investment purposes. Unless there are specific legal or contractual requirements to do otherwise, interest earnings are apportioned among funds according to average monthly cash and investment balances. It is generally the City's intention to hold investments until maturity. City investments are stated at fair value (see Note 3).
Cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows include pooled cash and investments and cash designated for construction. Transactions with City-wide cash management pools are similar to those with external investment pools; therefore, since pooled cash and investments have the same characteristics as demand deposits in that the City's individual funds and component units may withdraw additional monies at any time without prior notice or penalty, pooled cash and investments are considered essentially demand deposit accounts.
Cash and investments with fiscal agent, a bond reserve investment pool, and amounts classified as deposits are not considered cash and cash equivalents.
E. Due from City of Santa Clara
During the course of operations, transactions occur between SVP and the City for goods provided or services rendered. The related receivables, net, are classified as “Due from the City of Santa Clara” on the accompanying statement of net position.
F. Inventory of Materials and Supplies
Inventory of materials and supplies is accounted for using the consumption method and is stated at average cost. Inventory consists of expendable supplies held for consumption by the electric utility.
G. Capital Assets
All capital equipment and right-to-use equipment with a value of $5,000 or more, buildings, improvements and infrastructure, right-to-use building with costs exceeding $20,000 or more, and the right-to-use SBITA with a value of $400,000 or more, with useful lives exceeding two years are capitalized. These assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available except for intangible right -to-use assets, the measurement of which discussed in Note 2R and 2S below. Contributed capital assets are valued at their DRAFT

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 22 estimated acquisition value on the date contributed. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (buildings and improvements: 20 to 50 years; equipment: 3 to 25 years; and right-to-use SBITA assets: 3-25 years) and is charged as an expense against operations. Accumulated depreciation is reported on the statement of net position.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets.
Capital assets and the related obligations under lease/purchase agreements are capitalized and accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 840. Interest is capitalized on construction in progress in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Capitalization of Interest Cost in Situations Involving Certain Tax-Exempt Borrowings, and Certain Gifts and Grants. Accordingly, interest capitalized is the total interest cost for the date of the borrowings net of any interest earned on temporary investments of the borrowed proceeds until the specified asset is ready for its intended use. There was no interest capitalized for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 or 2023.
H. Joint Ventures
SVP participates in several joint ventures in accordance with GAAP. If SVP’s equity in net losses of a joint venture exceeds its investments, use of the equity method is suspended except to the extent that SVP is obligated to provide further support or has guaranteed obligations of the joint venture.
SVP advances funds to certain of its joint ventures in the form of refundable advances, project advances, and operating and maintenance advances. Refundable advances accrue interest at rates stated in the related agreements. Operating, maintenance, and project advances are charged to operations when incurred.
Capitalized project costs are charged to operations in the event that a project is determined to be not economically feasible.
I. Compensated Absences
Amounts of vested or accumulated vacation leave and certain benefits that are not expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources are reported in the SVP financial statements as an expense and liability.
In accordance with GAAP, Accounting for Compensated Absences, a liability for sick leave and benefits is accrued using the vesting method. The vesting method provides that a governmental DRAFT

Estimated sick leave payments are recorded as an expense and liability by SVP.
J. Risk Management
SVP is covered under the City’s self-insurance programs via Internal Service Funds. There were no significant reductions in insurance coverage from the prior year by major categories of risk and the amount of settlements did not exceed insurance coverage for the past four fiscal years.
Additional information with respect to the City’s self-insurance programs can be found in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
K. Electric Resource Purchased
SVP purchases power from various suppliers and agencies (including joint powers agencies) for resale to its customers (see Note 10). SVP also engages in numerous resource energy transactions with the objective of reducing its overall cost of resource energy. Gross resource energy sales and resource energy purchases are recorded as operating revenue and expense, respectively (see Note 9).
L. Bond Discounts/Issuance Costs
Bond discounts are presented as a reduction of the face amount of bonds payable, whereas issuance costs are recognized in the current period.
M. Revenue Recognition
Operating revenues are recognized based on cycle billings periodically rendered to customers.
Operating revenues for services provided, but not billed at the end of the fiscal year, are recognized and accrued based on estimated consumption. Operating revenues primarily include the sales of electric power to residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal customers.
Non-operating revenues primarily represent interest income, grants, rents, and other non- recurring miscellaneous income.
N. Taxes on Income
As an agency of the City, SVP falls under the review of the Internal Revenue Code Section 115 and corresponding California Revenue and Taxation Code provisions. As such, it is not subject to federal income or state franchise taxes.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 24 O. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. SVP has three items that qualify for reporting in this category:
deferred outflow related to the refunding, pension and OPEB.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. In the government‐wide financial statements SVP reports deferred amounts related to derivative instruments, refunding, leases and deferred amounts related to pension and OPEB.
P. Net Position and Fund Equity
SVP may fund certain programs with a combination of restricted and unrestricted net position.
The policy is to first apply restricted net position followed by unrestricted net position if necessary.
Q. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
R. Lease Agreements
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset (the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment.
Lessee - SVP is a lessee for noncancellable lease of buildings. SVP recognizes a lease liability with an initial, and individual value of $100,000 and an intangible right‐to‐use lease asset (lease asset) in the statement of net position financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, SVP initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced DRAFT

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 25 by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight‐line basis over its useful life.
Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how SVP determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments as follows:
SVP uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, SVP generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that SVP is reasonably certain to exercise.
SVP monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the statement of net position.
Lessor - SVP is a lessor for noncancellable leases of land and building. SVP recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, SVP initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
Key estimates and judgments include how SVP determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts as follows:
SVP uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 26 Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
SVP monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease, and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable. SVP has leases related to fiber and land use and the balances related to the leases receivable and deferred inflow of resources as of June 30, 2022 were $2,604,571 and $2,571,068, respectively. SVP recognized $11.894 in lease revenue and $68,494 in interest revenue during the fiscal year 2021-22 related to these leases. The leases receivable and deferred inflow of resources as of June 30, 2023 were $2,362,077 and $2,282,329 respectively. SVP recognized $284,929 in lease revenue and $63,636 in interest revenue during the fiscal year 2022-23 related to these leases.
S. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs) Accounting A Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangement (SBITA) is a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a SBITA vendor’s) IT software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.
At the commencement of a SBITA, SVP initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the contract term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of payments made. The subscription asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the subscription liability, adjusted for payments made at or before the SBITA commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs.
Subsequently, the subscription asset is amortized on a straight‐line basis over shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT assets. SVP recognizes SBITA liabilities with an initial, individual value of $400,000 or more for all funds based on the future SBITA payments remaining at the start of the contract.
Key estimates and judgments related to SBITAs include how SVP determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments as follows:
SVP uses the interest rate charged by the IT vendor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the IT vendor is not provided, SVP uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for subscription liabilities. The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the subscription.

29 exceed the final maturity of each bond. Bond proceed investments are reported monthly to the City Council.
SVP also maintains required amounts of cash and investments with trustees or fiscal agents under the terms of certain debt issues. These funds are unexpended bond proceeds or are pledged reserves to be used if SVP fails to meet its obligations under these debt issues. The California Government Code 53601 (L) allows these funds to be invested in accordance with the statutory provisions governing the issuance of those bonds, indebtedness, other agreements, or certificates of participation in accordance with the ordinance, resolution, indenture, or agreement of the local agency providing for the issuance.
C. Pension Rate Stabilization Program
In February 2017, the City Council approved a Pension Rate Stabilization Program, (PRSP) Trust administered by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). The PRSP is an irrevocable trust and qualifies as an Internal Revenue Section 115 trust. This trust will assist the City in mitigating the CalPERS contribution rate volatility. Investments of funds held in Pension Rate Stabilization Program (PRSP) are governed by the Investment Guideline Document for the investment account and by the agreement for administrative services with the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS), rather than the general provisions of the California Government code or the City’s investment policy. The City elected a discretionary investment approach which allows the City to maintain oversight of the investment management, control on target yield and the portfolio’ risk tolerance. The assets in this program will eventually be used to fund Pension Plan obligations.
As part of the year-end process for fiscal year 2016-17, the City Council approved SVP to designate and make an initial deposit of $3.5 million in fiscal year 2018 towards pre-funding the City’s pension obligations. As of June 30, 2023, the balance in the pension rate stabilization program trust was $6.3 million.
D. Credit and Interest Rate Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligations to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rate will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment is the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates to be.

NOTE 3 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (continued)
31 The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. LAIF’s investment portfolio mainly consists of Treasuries, loans, Federal Agency securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations. Each regular LAIF account is permitted to have up to 15 transactions per month, with a minimum transaction amount of $5,000, a maximum transaction amount of $75 million and at least 24 hours advance notice for withdrawals of $10 million or more. Bond proceeds accounts are subject to one time deposit with no cap and are set up with a monthly draw down schedule. The carrying value of LAIF approximates fair value.
Mutual funds are available for withdrawal on demand. See City’s Annual Financial Report Note 7 to the financial statements for additional detail on the fiscal year 2022-23 investment portfolio.
E. Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, the City 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. Under California Government Code Section 53651, depending on specific types of eligible securities, a bank must deposit eligible securities posted as collateral with its Agent having a fair value of 105% to 150% of the City’s cash on deposit. All of the City’s deposits are either insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or collateralized with pledged securities held in the trust department of the financial institutions.
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, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The City’s Investment Policy limits its exposure to custodial credit risk by requiring that all security transactions entered into by the City, including collateral for repurchase agreements, be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis. Securities are to be held by a third party custodian.
F. Fair Value Hierarchy
SVP categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by GAAP. The hierarchy is based on the valuation input used to measure the fair value of 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. See City’s Annual Financial Report Note 7 to the financial statements for more detailed information.

A. Electric Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013A
On April 24, 2013, the City issued $64.380 million of Electric Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013A (Electric 2013A Bonds), to provide funds, together with other available moneys, to refinance outstanding Electric 2003A Bonds. The Electric 2013A Bonds mature annually beginning on July 1, 2014 through July 1, 2028 and bear coupon rates ranging from 3.00% to
5.00%. Debt service on the Electric 2013A Bonds is secured by a pledge of net revenues of SVP.
As of April 1, 2020, $43.705 million of the Electric 2013A Bonds were outstanding and $30.725 million would be callable at par beginning January 1, 2023. With the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017 eliminated tax-exempt advance refunding of tax-exempt bonds beginning January 1, 2018, and therefore tax-exempt advance refunding is no longer a refinancing option.
On April 10, 2020, SVP refinanced $30.725 million callable portion of the outstanding principal amount of Electric 2013 A Bonds through a direct placement with Bank of America, N.A. under DRAFT

As of June 30, 2023, SVP has paid off the entire Electric Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 2013A obligation.
B. Electric Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2018A

The City Council determined that it was in the best interests of the City to enter into a credit facility with a bank for the purpose of refunding all outstanding Electric 2011A Bonds; and for the indebtedness created under such credit facility to be evidenced by a subordinate electric revenue bond to be issued by the City and delivered to the bank as authorized by Resolution No. 20-8834 adopted by the City Council on April 7, 2020.
On April 10, 2020, the City entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A.

40 interest, depreciation or amortization amounted to $602.4 million. Net revenues available for debt service amounted to $32.7 million which represented a coverage ratio of 2.01 on the $16.3 million of debt service.
G. Derivative Instruments
In fiscal year 2009-10, SVP implemented GAAP, which addresses recognition, measurement and disclosures related to derivative instruments to determine whether they meet the definition of derivative instruments, and if so, whether they effectively hedge the expected cash flows associated with the interest rate and energy exposures. Under hedge accounting, the increase (decrease) in the fair value of a hedge is reported as a deferred cash flow hedge on the statement of net position.
Notional Amounts and Fair Values – Future Derivative Instruments SVP maintains a Market Risk Management Policy, which among other things, sets forth the guidelines for the purchase and sale of certain financial instruments defined as hedge instruments in support of market power purchase and sales transactions. The primary goal of these guidelines is to provide a framework for the operation of an energy price hedging program to better manage SVP’s risk exposure in order to utilize resources, stabilize pricing and costs for the benefit of SVP and its customers.
Consistent with hedge accounting treatment meeting effectiveness tests, changes in fair value are reported as deferred flows of resources on the statement of net position until the contract expiration that occurs in conjunction with the hedged expected energy purchase/sales transaction.
When hedging contracts expire, at the time the purchase/sales transactions occur, the deferred balance is recorded as a component of Purchased Power. For energy derivatives, fair values are estimated by comparing contract prices to forward market prices quoted by third party market participants.
SVP had the following future derivative instruments outstanding at June 30, 2023 with Archer Daniels Midland Company to hedge cash flows on sales of excess resources in CAISO market in June and purchase of power from CAISO in the future months.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss due to a counterparty defaulting on its obligations. SVP is exposed to credit risk if hedging instruments are in asset positions. To eliminate counterparty credit risk, SVP has transacted both long term power and gas contracts on the Futures market on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). As of June 30, 2023, SVP’s open derivative power and gas contracts were in an asset position with positive $22.7 million of Mark-to-Market. The open DRAFT

42 contract was with ADM Investor Service, Inc., a clearing member of ICE and a subsidiary of Archer Daniels Midland Company who was rated A by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2023.
SVP's policy for requiring collateral on hedging instruments varies based on individual contracts and counterparty credit ratings. Under the brokerage agreements with Archer Daniels Midland Company, the accounts are prefunded by SVP. If the account value falls below zero, margin calls are invoked.
It is also SVP's policy to negotiate netting arrangements whenever it has entered into more than one bilateral transactions with counterparty. Under the terms of these arrangements, should one party become insolvent or otherwise default on its obligations, the non-defaulting party may accelerate and terminate all outstanding transactions and net their fair values so that a single amount will be owed by (or to) the non-defaulting party.
Termination Risk
SVP’s futures contracts are traded over the counter and have no termination risk.
Price Risk
With respect to price risk under power Futures contracts, on purchase contracts (long positions), SVP receives the CAISO NP15 average daily rate at settlement and pays the fixed contracted rate entered into on the trade date; on sales contracts (short positions), SVP pays the CAISO NP15 average daily rate at settlement and receives the fixed contracted rate entered into on the trade date. With respect to price risk under gas Futures contracts, on purchase contracts (long positions), SVP receives PG&E Citygate average daily price at settlement and pays the fixed contracted rate entered into on the trade date; on sales contracts (short positions), SVP pays the PG&E Citygate average daily price at settlement and receives the fixed contracted rate entered into on the trade date. SVP is exposed to risk because the contract prices are different from the settlement prices.
H. Other
Various debt agreements governing SVP’s revenue bonds contain a number of covenants including those that require SVP to maintain and preserve the enterprise in good repair and working order, to maintain certain levels of insurance, and to fix and collect rates, fees, and charges so as to maintain certain debt coverage ratios. SVP is in compliance with these specific covenants and all other material covenants governing the particular revenue bond issues. No event of default as defined in the bond indentures has occurred or was occurring as of the date of this report.

B. Northern California Power Agency (NCPA)
NCPA was formed in 1968 as a joint powers agency in the State of California. Its membership consists of sixteen public agencies. NCPA is generally empowered to sell, purchase, generate, transmit, manage electrical energy and provide regulatory and legislative advocacy. Members participate in the projects of NCPA on an elective basis. Therefore, the participation percentage varies for each project in which it participates.
A Commission comprised of one representative from each joint venture member governs NCPA.
The Commission is responsible for the general management of the affairs, property, and business of NCPA. Under the direction of the General Manager, the staff of NCPA is responsible for providing various administrative, operating and planning services for NCPA and its associated power corporations.
Project Financing and Construction
NCPA’s project construction and development programs have been individually financed by project revenue bonds collateralized by NCPA’s assignment of all payments, revenues and proceeds associated with its interest in each project. Each project participant has agreed to pay its proportionate share of debt service and other costs of the related project, notwithstanding the DRAFT

NOTE 6 – PARTICIPATION IN JOINT VENTURES (continued)
47 suspension, interruption, interference, reduction or curtailment of output from the project for any reason. Certain of the revenue bonds are additionally supported by municipal bond insurance credit enhancements.
Hydroelectric Project
NCPA contracted to finance, manage, construct, and operate Hydroelectric Project Number One for the licensed owner, Calaveras County Water District (CCWD). In exchange, NCPA has the right to the electric output of the project for 50 years from February 1982. NCPA also has an option to purchase power from the project in excess of the CCWD’s requirements for the subsequent 50 years, subject to regulatory approval.
Geothermal Project
The NCPA Geothermal Plants have historically experienced greater than anticipated declines in steam production from the existing geothermal wells. Although initially operated as baseload generation projects at full capability (238MW), NCPA changed its steam field production from baseload to load-following and reduced average annual steam production. Along with other steam field operators in the area, the Agency began implementing various operating strategies to further reduce the rate of decline in steam production. The Agency has modified both steam turbine units and the associated steam collection system to enable generation with lower pressure steam at higher mass-flow rates to optimize the utilization of the available steam resource. In FY 19-20, NCPA began a well-workover program to restore underperforming wells.
Based upon current operation protocols and forecasted operations, NCPA expects average annual generation and peak capacity to decrease further, reaching approximately 68 MW by the year 2040.
Combustion Turbine Project No. 1
NCPA owns five dual (natural gas and fuel oil) combustion turbine units, each of which is nominally rated at 25 MW, which are collectively known as the Combustion Turbine Project No.
1. These units were completed in 1986 and are designed to provide peak power and reserve requirements and emergency support. Each purchaser is responsible under its power sales contract for paying entitlement share in Combustion Turbine Project No. 1 of all NCPA’s costs of such project.
Lodi Energy Center
On May 24, 2010, SVP entered into an agreement with NCPA for a 25.75% interest in the Lodi Energy Center, a 280 MW combined cycle natural gas fired power plant, located in Lodi, California. The project received approval from the California Energy Commission in April 2010 DRAFT

48 and was placed into operation in November 2012. In January 2020, the Lodi Energy Center suffered a catastrophic turbine failure. NCPA replaced the turbine with a newer state-of-the-art turbine which could use hydrogen as a cleaner fuel source. The majority of the replacement cost was covered by NCPA’s insurance resulting in relatively minimal financial impact to project participants.
C. Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC)
TANC was organized under the California Government Code pursuant to a joint powers agreement entered into by 15 Northern California utilities. The purpose of TANC is to provide electric transmission and other facilities for the use of its members through its authority to plan, acquire, construct, finance, operate and maintain facilities for electric power transmission. The joint powers agreement provides that the costs of TANC’s activities can be financed or recovered through assessment of its members or from user charges through transmission contracts with its members. Each TANC member has agreed to pay a pro-rata share of the costs to operate TANC and for payment of debt service, and has the right to participate in future project agreements.
The joint powers agreement remains in effect until all debt obligations and interest thereon have been paid, unless otherwise extended by the members.
California-Oregon Transmission Project
TANC is a participant and also the Project Manager of the California-Oregon Transmission Project (Project), a 340 mile long, 500 kilovolt alternating current transmission project between Southern Oregon and Central California. As Project Manager, TANC is responsible for the overall direction and coordination of all Project operations and maintenance, additions and betterments, and for general and administrative support.
The Project was declared commercially operable on March 24, 1993, with a rated transfer capability of 1,600 megawatts and provides a third transmission path between the electric systems of the Pacific Northwest and those in California. The Project has successfully met and completed all major environmental requirements. As of June 30, 2022, the most recent data available, TANC’s investment in the Project was $549.7 million, less accumulated depreciation and amortization of $297.0 million.
In connection with its participation in the Project, TANC has an entitlement balance of the Project’s transfer capability of approximately 1,362 megawatts and is obligated to pay an average of approximately 80 percent of the operating costs associated with the Project. TANC incurred and initially capitalized all costs for project construction since they were expected to be recovered through reimbursement from Project participants and from the successful operations of the Project transmission lines. The Project agreement among the participating members provides DRAFT

49 that each member agrees to make payments, from its revenues, to TANC for project costs incurred and for payment of debt service.
SVP has historically been obligated to pay 20.47% of TANC’s COTP operating and maintenance expenses and 20.70% of TANC’s COTP debt service and 22.16% of the Vernon acquisition debt.
SVP has also been entitled to 20.4745% of TANC’s share of COTP transfer capability (approximately 278 MW net of third party layoffs of TANC) on an unconditional take-or-pay basis. Starting on July 1, 2014, SVP laid-off 147 MWs of this entitlement to other TANC members under a 25 year agreement. During the term of this agreement the parties taking on the entitlement will pay all associated debt service, operations and maintenance costs, and all administrative and general costs. SVP’s portion of the operating and maintenance expenses and the COTP debt service is 10.004 %.
D. M-S-R Public Power Agency (MSR PPA)
MSR PPA is a joint power agency formed in 1980 by the Modesto Irrigation District, the City of Santa Clara, and the City of Redding, California, to develop or acquire and manage electric power resources for the benefit of the members. The personnel of its members and contract professional staff perform the administrative and management functions of MSR PPA. The member’s income and expenses sharing ratio is as follows: Modesto Irrigation District – 50 percent, City of Santa Clara – 35 percent, and City of Redding – 15 percent.
Prior to fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, SVP’s equity in MSR PPA’s net losses exceeds its investments and, therefore, the equity method of accounting for the investment was suspended.
Starting in fiscal year ended December 31,2021, SVP was in a positive equity position. The equity method of accounting of SVP’s investment in MSR PPA was applied. Under the joint exercise of power agreement, which formed MSR PPA, SVP is responsible for funding up to 35 percent of MSR PPA’s operating cost, to the extent such funding is necessary. During the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, SVP funded its share of operating costs in SVP’s expenses.
MSR PPA’s principal activity is a 28.8% ownership interest in a 507-megawatt unit of a coal- fired electricity generating plant located in New Mexico (San Juan Plant). The San Juan plant was jointly owned by the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) (38.5%), MSR PPA (28.8%) and other municipal power entities (32.7%). On December 31, 2017, MSR PPA divested its ownership interest in the San Juan plant and no longer receives electric energy or capacity from the San Juan Generating Station.
In 2006, MSR PPA entered into a Wholesale Purchase and Sale Agreement and a Shaping and Firming Agreement with Avangrid Renewables, Inc. to provide renewable wind energy to the Members from the Big Horn I Wind Energy Project (Big Horn I Project) with a nominal installed capacity of approximately 199.5 MW. SVP receives the power purchased by MSR PPA from DRAFT

50 the Big Horn I Project. SVP’s share equates to approximately a 105 MW share of the output.
Power deliveries commenced on October 1, 2006 and will continue through September 30, 2026.
Through an amendment of the original agreements MSR PPA has an obligation to continue to take the same output through September 30, 2031, or if the Big Horn Project is repowered MSR PPA will have a right of first offer to negotiate a long-term power purchase for such repowered project. The participation in this project is as follows:
Modesto Irrigation District 12.5%
City of Santa Clara 52.5%
City of Redding 35.0%
In 2009, MSR PPA entered into a Power Purchase Agreement and Redelivery Agreement with Avangrid Renewables Inc. to purchase additional wind power energy from the same site, called Big Horn II, with a nominal installed capacity of 50 MW for a twenty-year period. Deliveries of energy under this project began on November 1, 2010. The participation in this project is as follows: Modesto Irrigation District – 65%; City of Santa Clara – 35%.
MSR PPA San Juan
In 2015, the MSR PPA Commission approved a number of agreements (the “San Juan Restructuring Agreements”) to provide for the interests of MSR PPA and certain other San Juan Participants (the “exiting participants”) in the San Juan Generation Station to be transferred to the remaining San Juan Participants effective December 31, 2017. In addition to the ownership divesture, the San Juan Restructuring Agreements provide for, among other things, the allocation of ongoing responsibility for decommissioning costs, mine reclamation costs and any environmental remediation obligations among the exiting participants and the remaining San Juan Participants, and the establishment and funding of mine reclamation and plant decommissioning trust funds. The San Juan Restructuring Agreements were subsequently executed by all nine San Juan Generation Station owners and PNM Resources Development Company (a non-utility affiliate of PNM) and, following receipt of regulatory approvals, became effective on January 31, 2016. Various other implementing agreements and amendments to existing San Juan project agreements to effect the restructuring have also been executed. Closing of the ownership restructuring of the San Juan Generation Station and the divestiture of M-S-R PPA’s interests in San Juan Unit No. 4 was completed on schedule on December 31, 2017.
E. M-S-R Energy Authority (MSR EA)
MSR EA is a joint power agency formed in 2008 by the Modesto Irrigation District, the City of Santa Clara, and the City of Redding, California, to develop or acquire and manage natural gas resources for the benefit of the members.

51 member’s income and expense sharing ratio is as follows: Modesto Irrigation District – 33.3%; City of Santa Clara – 33.4%; and City of Redding – 33.3%.
SVP’s equity in MSR EA’s net losses exceeds its investment and, therefore, the equity method of accounting for the investment has been suspended. As of December 31, 2022, the date of the latest available audited financial statements, SVP’s unrecognized share of member’s deficit of MSR EA was $27.2 million. Under the joint exercise of power agreement, which formed MSR EA, SVP is responsible for funding up to 33.4% of MSR EA’s operating cost, to the extent such funding is necessary. During the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, SVP funded its share of operating costs in SVP’s expenses.
In 2009, the City of Santa Clara, along with the Cities of Modesto and Redding participated in the M-S-R Energy Authority Gas Prepay Project. The Gas Prepay Project provides the City, through a Gas Supply Agreement with MSR EA dated September 10, 2009, a secure and long- term supply of natural gas of 7,500 MM Btu (Million British thermal unit) daily or 2,730,500 MM Btu annually through December 31, 2012, and 12,500 MM Btu daily, or 4,562,500 MM Btu annually thereafter until September 30, 2039. The agreement provides this supply at a discounted price below the spot market price (the Pacific Gas & Electric City gate index) over the next 30 years. As of December 31, 2022, bonds issued by MSR EA to finance the City’s share of the Gas Prepay Project were outstanding in the principal amount of $500,200,000. These bonds were initially sold on August 27, 2009. Under the Gas Supply Agreement, MSR EA will bill the City for actual quantities of natural gas delivered each month on a “take-and-pay” basis.
MSR EA has contracted with Citigroup Energy, Inc. (“CEI”) to use the proceeds of the Gas Prepay bond issue to prepay CEI for natural gas. CEI has guaranteed repayment of the bonds, and responsibility for bond repayment is non-recourse to the City. Moreover, any default by the other Gas Prepay Project participants is also non-recourse to the City.
F. Contingent Liability
Under the terms of the various joint venture agreements, SVP is contingently liable for a portion of the long-term debt of the entities under take-or-pay agreements, letters of credit, guarantees or other similar agreements.

Miscellaneous 105,823,291$ 73,533,480$
Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability
SVP’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2022, and the total pension liability for the Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021 rolled forward to June 30, 2022 using standard update procedures. SVP’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of SVP’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all funds of the City. SVP’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for the Plan as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 32.31%.
For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, SVP recognized pension expense of $12,887,264 and $6,364,608 respectively. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, SVP reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:

(2) The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and post-retirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS' November 2021 experience study report available on CalPERS' website.
The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actual assumptions used in the June 30, 2021 valuation were based on the results of a December 2021 actuarial experience study for the period 2000 to 2019. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the Plan was 6.97%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate for the Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made 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 for all plans in the PERF. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all period of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability for the Plan.

NOTE 7 – RETIREMENT PLAN – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN (continued)
58 The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows.
Using historical returns of all the funds’ assets classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ 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 table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class.

D. Subsequent Events
On July 12,2021, CalPERS reported a preliminary 21.3% net return on investments for fiscal year 2020-21. Based on the thresholds specified in CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation policy, the excess return of 14.3% prescribes a reduction in investment volatility that corresponds to a reduction in the discount rate used for funding purposes of .20% from 7.00% to 6.80%. Since CalPERS was in the final stages of the four-year Asset Liability Management (ALM) cycle, the board elected to defer any changes to the asset allocation until the ALM process concluded, and the board could make its final decision on the asset allocation in November 2021.
On November 17, 2021, the board adopted a new strategic asset allocation. The new asset allocation along with the new capital market assumptions, economic assumptions and administrative expense assumption support a discount rate of 6.90% (net of investment expense but without a reduction of administrative expense) for financial reporting purposes. This includes a reduction in the price inflation assumption from 2.50% to 2.30% as recommended in the November 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. This DRAFT

NOTE 8 – OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
A. Plan Description
The City’s agent multiple-employer defined benefit Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Plan, which was established by City Council in fiscal year 2007-08 in accordance with GAAP, provides reimbursements to retirees for qualified expenses. Employees who have retired from the City with at least ten years of service and meet certain criterion based upon retirement date, household income in the most recent calendar year and age are entitled to reimbursements for qualified expenses. Annual maximum reimbursement amounts differ depending on when an employee retired from City service. The majority of retirees may be eligible for a maximum of annual reimbursements of $4,788 in the fiscal year 2022-23 and $4,626 in the fiscal year 2021-
22. Amendments to benefit provisions are negotiated by the various bargaining units at the City and must be approved by Council. In fiscal year 2007-08, the City established an irrevocable exclusive agent multiple-employer defined benefit trust which is administered by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). The City is the Plan administrator, and PARS administers the investment trust for the City’s Plan. The trust is used to accumulate and invest assets necessary to reimburse retirees. Separate financial reports are issued by PARS for the OPEB Plan Trust.
The report can be obtained by writing to PARS at 4350 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 100, Newport Beach, CA 92660, or by calling 1-800-540-6369.
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the OPEB plan and additions to and deduction from the OPEB’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same bases. For this purpose OPEB benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefits terms. Investments are report at fair value.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reporting results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For the fiscal year 2022-23 and the fiscal year 2021-22, the following time frames were used.

D. Net OPEB Liability, OPEB Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB
SVP’s net OPEB liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the City’s net OPEB liability as of June 30. The total OPEB liability for the Plan used to calculate the net OPEB liability for the fiscal year 2022-23 was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022, rolled forward to June 30, 2023 using standard actuarial methods, based on actuarial methods and assumptions. The total OPEB liability for the Plan used to calculate the net OPEB liability for the fiscal year 2021-22 was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020, rolled forward to June 30, 2022 using standard actuarial methods, based on actuarial methods and assumptions. SVP’s proportion of the net OPEB liability was based on a projection of SVP’s long-term share of contributions to the OPEB plan relative to the projected contributions of all funds of the City. SVP’s proportionate share of the net OPEB liability for the Plan as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 19.32% and 32.31%.
For the year ended June 30, 2023, SVP reported a net OPEB liability of $7,289 thousand and recognized OPEB expense of $686 thousand. For the year ended June 30, 2022, SVP reported a DRAFT

B. Restructuring of the California Electric Industry
Deregulation Legislation and Direct Access
The passage of AB1890 in 1998 triggered fundamental changes in the structure of the electric industry in California. Generally, AB1890 provided for creation of the California Power Exchange (Cal PX), which was to be a clearinghouse for energy transactions among investor- owned utilities, independent generators and power marketers, who in turn would serve so called direct-access customers. AB1890 also created the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which was to manage the state’s bulk transmission grid.
However, in 2000 and 2001, the price of electricity at the Cal PX became extremely high, and investor-owned utilities were unable to pay for the energy that they needed from the Cal PX.
Eventually the Cal PX filed for bankruptcy and was dismantled. Investor-owned utility PG&E and several energy marketers would also file for bankruptcy and over a decade of litigation ensued.
The CAISO, however, continues to manage the state’s bulk electric system and the day-ahead and day-of markets, and it has implemented various price controls and tariffs in an effort to avoid repeating the mistakes of 2000 and 2001. Along with balancing control area responsibility, the CAISO has also announced that it will take on the role of reliability coordinator for the region.
Energy Wholesale Trading and Risk Management
SVP participates in the wholesale gas and power market and the CAISO’s centralized market.
Since CAISO’s Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU), CAISO has become the ultimate buyer and seller in the California day ahead market. Therefore, SVP engages in the trading of commodity forward contracts (gas and electric energy contracts) to secure fuel supply and hedge daily power purchase/sales from/to CAISO. The primary type of forward contracts SVP currently engages in is the Futures contracts SVP transacts on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). The Futures transactions for both natural gas and power are recorded on cash basis under Wholesale Trading activities starting fiscal year 2022-23. Activities during the fiscal year were substantially considered hedging transactions and, as such, have been accounted for using the settlement method of accounting. Accordingly, related gross sales and purchases totaling $85.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively, for fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, have been separately reported on the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position.
The restructured electric wholesale market exposes SVP to various risks including market, credit and operational risks. Active and effective management of these risks associated with the power DRAFT

NOTE 9 – WHOLESALE ACTIVITIES (continued)
68 trading activity is critical to its continued success and contribution to the entire utility. A Risk Management Committee administers and monitors compliance with the Council approved risk policies and the related procedures on a regular basis. The City and SVP believe that it has the resource commitment, effective policies and procedures, and is continuing to improve the control structure and oversight for evaluating and managing the market and credit risks to which it is exposed.
Credit Arrangements
SVP has risk policies, regulations, and procedures that help mitigate credit risk and minimize overall credit risk exposure. The policies include transacting only with investment grade counterparties, evaluating of potential counterparties’ financial condition and assigning credit limits as applicable. These credit limits are established based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. For counterparties below investment grade or lack of solid financial records, SVP requires collateral in the form of parental guarantee, surety bonds, letter of credit, or cash prepayment. Additionally, The City is a signatory to the WSPP netting agreement supplement and otherwise, enters into master netting arrangements whenever possible and, where appropriate, obtains collateral prior to trade execution. Master netting agreements incorporate rights of setoff that provide for the net settlement of subject contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default.
NOTE 10 – MAJOR SUPPLIERS
SVP purchases electric energy through its participation in the NCPA and M-S-R Public Power Agency joint powers agencies, from the Western Area Power Administration, from the market via the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), and from other sources to supply its retail electric utility customers. Additionally, SVP purchases transmission services through its participation in the TANC and from the CAISO.
The purchases of energy and transmission services that represent 5% or more of the total purchased power costs are shown in the table below:

Commitments and contingencies, undeterminable in amount, include normal recurring pending claims and litigation. In the opinion of management, based upon discussion with legal counsel, there is no pending litigation, which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the fund.
SVP has future commitments under construction projects as stated in Construction in Progress in Notes to Financial Statements 4B.
NOTE 12 – NET POSITION AND STABILIZATION AGREEMENTS
A. Net Position
Net Position is the excess of all SVP’s assets and deferred outflow of resources over all its liabilities and deferred inflow of resources. Net Position is divided into three categories that are described below:
Net investment in capital assets describes the portion of Net Position which is represented by the current net book value of SVP’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets.
Restricted for other agreements describes the portion of Net Position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which SVP cannot unilaterally alter.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted as to use.

B. Stabilization Agreements
Rate Stabilization Fund
In 1996, SVP established the Rate Stabilization Fund and Cost Reduction Fund to assure that the rates were set properly with sufficient operating cash as well as cost reduction and financial stability of the Electric Utility. In December 2010, Council approved to transfer the Cost Reduction Fund as a subaccount to the Rate Stabilization Fund and continued to be used to offset Electric Utility costs in essentially the same manner. As of June 30, 2023, the balance of the Rate Stabilization Fund was $207,542,169.
Pension Stabilization Fund
In fiscal year 2016-17, the City established an irrevocable pension trust as a way to address unfunded pension liabilities. As part of the year-end process for 2016-17, City Council approved SVP to designate and make an initial deposit of $3.5 million in fiscal year 2018 toward prefunding pension obligations. As of June 30, 2023, the balance of the Pension Stabilization Fund was $6,324,045.

To the City Council of
the City of Santa Clara, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of Santa Clara for the year ended June 30, 2023. We did not audit the component financial statements of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority as of and for the year ended March 31, 2023 which represent 42.7%, 6.8%, and 8.8% of the assets, net position and revenues, respectively, of the business- type activities. We also did not audit the components related to the Investment in Joint Ventures, which collectively include: Northern Californ ia Power Agency (NCPA), Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC), M-S-R Energy Authority (MSR EA), M- S-R Public Power Agency (MSR PPA), and San Jose- Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility and Clean Water Financing Authority (SJSC) for the year e nded June 30, 2023, which collectively represent
9.2%, 18.7%, and 0.8%, respectively, of the assets , net position and revenues of the business-type activities. These component unit financial statements and component financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions , insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these entities, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated April 17, 2023. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Accounting Policies - Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounti ng policies used by the City are described in Note 2 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted, and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year, except t he following Governmental Accounting Standards Boa rd (GASB) pronouncements became effective:
GASB 96 – Subscription Based Information Technology Arrangements
This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription- based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments).
This Statement (1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes that a SBITA results in a right- to-use subscription asset—an intangible asset —and a corresponding subscription liability; (3) provides the capitalization criteria for outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation costs of a SBITA; and (4) requires note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant, the standards for SBITAs are based on the standards established in Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended.
A SBITA is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a SBITA vendor’s) information technology (IT) software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.
DRAFT
The subscription term includes the period during which a government has a noncancelable right to use the underlying IT assets. The subscription term also includes periods covered by an option to extend (if it is reasonably certain that the government or SBITA vendor will exercise that option) or to terminate (if it is reasonably certain that the government or SBITA vendor will not exercise that option).
Under this Statement, a government generally should recognize a right -to-use subscription asset—an intangible asset —and a corresponding subscription liability. A government should recognize the subscription liability at the commencement of the subscription term, —wh ich is when the subscription asset is placed into service. The subscription liability should be initially measured at the present value of subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Future subscription payments should be discounted using the interest rate the SBITA vendor charges the government, which may be implicit, or the government’s incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate is not readily determinable. A government should recognize amortization of the discount on the subscription liability as an outflow of resources (for example, interest expense) in subsequent financial reporting periods.
The subscription asset should be initially measured as the sum of (1) the initial subscription liability amount, (2) payments made to the SBITA vendor before commencement of the subscription term, and (3) capitalizable implementation costs, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term. A government should recognize amortization of the subscription asset as an outflow of resources over the subscription term.
The pronouncement became effective and was disclosed in Note 10I to the financial statements.
The following pronouncements became effective, but did not have a material effect on the financial statements:
GASB 91 – Conduit Debt Obligations
GASB 94 – Public-Private and Public -Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements
Unusual Transactions, Controversial or Emerging Areas – We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting Estimates – Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate s affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Estimated Net Pension Liabilities and Pension -Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources: Management’s estimate of the net pension liabilities and deferred outflows/inflows of resources are disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements and are based on actuarial studies and accounting valuations determined by the California Public Employees Retirement System , which are based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
DRAFT
Estimated Net OPEB Liability and OPEB -Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources :
Management’s estimate of the net OPEB liability and deferred outflo ws/inflows of resources is disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements and is based on actuarial study determined by a consultant, which is based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Fair Value of Investments: As of June 30, 2023, the City held approximately $ 1.16 billion of cash and investments as measured by fai r value as disclosed in Note 7 to the financial statements. Fair value is essentially market pricing in effect as of J une 30, 2023. These fair values are not required to be adjusted for changes in general market conditions occurring subsequent to June 30, 2023.
Estimated Investment in Joint Ventures: Management’s estimate of the investment in joint ventures is disclosed in Note 12 to the financial statements and is based on the audited financial statements of the entities for the prior fiscal year. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the investment in joint ventures in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimate of Depreciat ion: Management’s estimate of the depreciation is based on useful lives determined by management. These lives have been determined by management based on the expected useful life of assets as disclosed in Note 2I to the financial statements. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the depreciation estimate in Note 9 to the financial statements and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimate of Compensated Absences: Accru ed compensated absences which are comprised of accrued vacation, holiday, and certain other compensating time is estimated using accumulated unpaid leave hours and hourly pay rates in effect at the end of the fiscal year as disclosed in Note 2L to the financial statements. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the accrued compensated absences and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Landfill Closure Liability : Management’s estimate of the landfill closure liability is disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements and is based on the City’s estimate of future post- closure maintenance and corrective action costs required by its agreement with CalRecycle . We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the landfill closure liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Claims Liabilities: Management’s estimate of the claims liabilit ies payable is disclosed in Note 19 to the financial statements and is based on actuarial studies determined by a consultant, which are based on the claims experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Disclosures – The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
DRAFT
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely uncorrected misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We have no such misstatements to report to the City Council.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in a management representation letter dated November 15, 2023.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves the application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information that accompanies and supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding 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 did not audit the required supplementary information and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the required supplementary information.
DRAFT
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information that accompanies the financial statements, but is not required supplementary information. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary infor mation to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the Introductory and Statistical Sections which accompany the financial statements, but are not required supplementary information. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance them.
