REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Recognition of High School Students Andrew Lam, Aayna Dash, Asmi Sawant, Aanya Mishra, Mithil Patil, and Anav Bordia for Community Service Projects
BACKGROUND
The following high school students have taken on community projects and initiatives which have benefited the community including Santa Clara with their service and commitment.
Andrew Lam
Santa Clara resident Andrew Lam attends The King’s Academy. In the past few years, Andrew has taken on many business initiatives to benefit the needs of others on both a local and global level. In 2019, Andrew won first place at the Santa Clara Children's Business Fair for creating an arcade game which encouraged participation from older adults, those with disabilities, children and people of all ages and collected gently used toys as prizes. He donated proceeds from the game to an orphanage in the Philippines. On evenings in the Rivermark neighborhood, Andrew and his sister sold boba drinks and donated proceeds from the sales to Grace Public School in India.
In 2020 during the pandemic, Andrew started a company “2gether We Are Greater” where he helped develop ear savers with a 3D printer and distributed to health care professionals to relieve pressure on their ears from wearing masks for long hours. In addition, he donated hand-sewn masks to the San Jose City Team Ministries for distribution to the unhoused population.
In 2023, Andrew designed his own apparel of clothing called “Bounce Company” and utilized the profits as microloans. He has supported startups in over nine different countries including in Costa Rica, Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, Madagascar, Turkey, Liberia, Congo, and New Delhi. In 2024, as President of The Big Brother Little Brother Club, Andrew coordinated a drive to provide kits to the homeless with over 230 packages donated. Through his school at The King's Academy, Andrew built a wheelchair ramp for an elderly couple confined to their house in Kentucky and helped build a single -family home in Mexico for a family in need.
Code for Cause
Code for Cause is the Bay Area's first philanthropic hackathon, co-founded to address local issues through technology and innovation. Code for Cause was co-founded by high school students from Basis Independent Silicon Valley including: Aayna Dash, Asmi Sawant, Aanya Mishra, Mithil Patil, and Anav Bordia.
The group combines coding with community impact, fostering solutions for real-world challenges in partnership with local nonprofits. In December 2023, the group hosted an inaugural event with over 130 participants, raised $5,000, and developed eight community partnerships, including the Union City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 2 Printed on 11/27/2024

24-1167 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024
Bank of Switzerland and FalconX. Sponsored by companies like AOPS and Panda Cares, the event offered $1,000 in prizes, free meals, and custom shirts to foster an inclusive and engaging experience. One standout project was an app for InterTeach, a platform connecting students with volunteer tutors worldwide.
Since the first event, Code for Cause has partnered with seven other hackathons across the Bay Area, amplifying the mission to combine coding and social impact. Through these collaborations, Code for Cause continues to inspire innovation and create meaningful change in local communities.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Monthly Financial Status and Investment Reports for September 2024 and Approve the Related Budget Amendments
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
In compliance with the Charter of the City of Santa Clara and the adopted Investment Policy, the monthly financial report and monthly investment report for September 2024 are submitted for your information. The financial review as of September 30, 2024 provides a year-to-date financial update to the City Council for fiscal year 2024/25. The analysis of the revenues collected and all expenditures measures the level of adherence to the established resource allocation plan and allows the City to monitor and project revenues and expenditures throughout the year.
The Adopted Budget incorporates the estimated revenues and planned expenditures for all funds.
The attached Financial Status Report provides the budget to actual revenue and expenditure summaries for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds and Enterprise Operating Funds, as well as expenditure summary for Capital Improvement Funds and Fund Reserve Balances. Any significant variances are explained in the report.
In accordance with City Council Policy 051 - Donations to the City, included in these reports are monthly activity and annual summary of donations received by department. Although the requirement of the policy is to report quarterly, the City will include this information monthly in the financial status report.
DISCUSSION
Monthly Financial Status Report (Attachment 1)
The attached Monthly Financial Status Report summarizes the City’s financial performance as of September 30, 2024 (Attachment 1). This report provided financial analysis for the General Fund, select Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Operating Funds, and Capital Improvement Funds.
Monthly Financial Status Report shows that General Fund revenues (excluding transfers) at 11.6% of the budget through September 2024. The revenue in some categories received through September account for activity that occurred in FY 2023/24 and those revenues are accrued back to that year. In other cases, such as property tax, most payments are scheduled to occur later in the fiscal year.
While it is very early in the fiscal year and limited data is available, General Fund revenues are currently tracking within estimated levels. As shown in Monthly Financial Status Report, General City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 11/27/2024

24-1075 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024
Fund departmental expenditures were at 24.2% through September 2024 and are tracking within budgeted levels.
As shown in Monthly Financial Status Report, total revenues for Enterprise Funds (Electric, Water, Sewer, Cemetery, Solid Waste, and Water Recycling) were at 17.6% of the budget through September 30, 2024, while total expenses were at 20%.
In September, donations of $2,782 were received, bringing total donations to $8,890.
Economic news remains positive. The UCLA Anderson Forecast predicts strong GDP growth in the third quarter 2024, followed by lower growth in the fourth quarter 2024. Strong growth is then predicted for 2025 and 2026. The Conference Board points to ongoing resilience in the US economy despite looming uncertainties and persistent shocks.
On a national level, the unemployment rate changed little from 4.2% in August 2024 to 4.1% in September 2024. The number of unemployed persons also decreased from 7.1 million in August 2024 to 6.8 million in September 2024. In the advance estimate for the third quarter 2024, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.8%, following a GDP increase of 3.0% in the second quarter.
The California unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.3% between August and September 2024, but was up from 5.0% in September 2023. The unadjusted unemployment rate in the San José -Sunnyvale-Santa Clara Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) was 4.1% in September 2024, down from a revised 4.6% in August 2024, but above the September 2023 level of 3.9%.
Staff will continue to closely monitor the General Fund revenues and the City’s overall financial performance as the fiscal year progresses.
Monthly Investment Report (Attachment 2)
All securities held by the City of Santa Clara as of September 30, 2024, were in compliance with the City’s Investment Policy Statement regarding current market strategy and long-term goals and objectives. All securities held are rated “A” or higher by two nationally recognized rating agencies.
There is adequate cash flow and maturity of investments to meet the City’s needs for the next six months.
The City’s investment strategy for September 2024 was to invest funds not required to meet current obligations in securities listed in the prevailing Investment Policy Statement, with maturities not to exceed five years from the date of purchase. This strategy ensures safety of the City’s funds, provides liquidity to meet the City’s cash needs, and with a reasonable portfolio return of 3.53% in September.
The Monthly Investment Report also now reflects a Statement of Transactions, following the Investment Inventory, in accordance with California Municipal Treasurers Association investment policy guidelines.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of Title 14 of the California Code City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 4 Printed on 11/27/2024
powered by Legistar™
24-1075 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024
of Regulations in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve the commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
From time to time, adjustments to the budget are required to reflect new information, align budgets with actual revenues and expenses, and correct for inadvertent errors. The recommended budget adjustments are described in Attachment 3 and summarized below:
· General Fund - allocates funding from the Technology Fee Reserve to the Non-Departmental budget to provide funding to migrate parcel data and documents from the City’s legacy permit information system to Laserfiche. An action is also included to recognize and appropriate wildland reimbursements for the Fire Department.
· Fire Operating Grant Trust Fund - recognizes and appropriates County of Santa Clara Emergency Medical Services grant funding to the Fire Department. · Public Donations Fund - recognizes and appropriates donations for Senior Center wellness programs and the Reed & Grant Sports Park under the Parks and Recreation Department. · Storm Drain Capital Fund - allocates funding from available fund balance to the Storm Drain System Improvements project to address storm drain system capacity deficiencies.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] mailto:[email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

Financial Status Report as of September 30, 2024
This report summarizes the City’s financial performance for the month ended September 30, 2024.
Financial analysis for the report is provided for the General Fund, select Special Revenue Funds, Enterprise Operating Funds, and Capital Improvement Funds. Financial information included in this report is unaudited.
Economic Outlook
Economic news remains positive. At the national level, the UCLA Anderson Forecast predicts strong GDP growth in the third quarter 2024 estimated at 2.5% on a seasonally adjusted annual rate, followed by lower growth in the fourth quarter 2024. Banner growth is then projected for 2025 and 2026 driven in part by growth in residential development. For California, the economists for the UCLA Forecast predict sub-par growth in 2024, followed by two years of growth rates higher than the U.S., led by technology and aerospace1
.
According to The Conference Board, “US economic data continue to surprise to the upside, revealing ongoing resilience despite looming uncertainties and persistent shocks. We now expect real GDP to expand by 2.6 percent year-over-year in 2024, an upward revision from 2.4 percent. Some moderate growth at yearend and early next year may constrain annual 2025 growth to 1.7 percent despite expectations of stronger quarterly annualized growth over the course of that year. Slowing inflation and a healthy labor market should support measured interest rate cuts over the course of the next year, lowering the Fed Funds rate target range to 3.00-3.25 percent in 2025.”2 On a national level, the unemployment rate changed little from 4.2% to 4.1% between August and September 2024. In September, the number of unemployed persons totaled 6.8 million, a decrease from 7.1 million in August.

Financial Status Report as of September 30, 2024
In the third quarter 2024 advance estimate, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by
2.8%, following a GDP increase of 3.0% in the second quarter. The increase in real GDP primarily reflected increases in consumer spending, exports, and federal government spending. 4 At the state level, the California unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.3% between August and September 2024. This rate is higher compared to the 5.0% rate in September 2023. Over the past year, California employers have added 265,300 nonfarm jobs.
5 The unadjusted unemployment rate in the San José-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) was 4.1% in September 2024, down from a revised 4.6% in August 2024, but above the September 2023 estimate of 3.9%. Between September 2023 and September 2024, employment in this region increase by 3,700 jobs, or 0.3%. The largest increases were in private education and health services (up 9,600 jobs), professional and business services (up 4,800 jobs), and leisure and hospitality (up 2,300 jobs). Notable employment reductions were in information (down 6,700 jobs) and manufacturing (down 5,400 jobs).
6 General Fund
The General Fund is the major operating fund for the City and includes multiple programs, services, and activities for the residents and businesses of the City. The adopted budget for operating revenues and expenditures for fiscal year 2024/25 was $310.7 million. The amended budget for revenues and expenditures was adjusted to $317.9 million to reflect carryover encumbrances from fiscal year 2023/24 and various budget amendments approved by the City Council through September 2024.
While it is very early in the fiscal year and limited data is available, General Fund revenues and expenditures are tracking within estimated levels.

General Fund Revenues
As of September 30, 2024, $34.2 million or 11.6% of the General Fund estimated revenue (excluding transfers) was received. Transfers and use of reserves of $22.1 million have occurred as budgeted.
This low collection level through September is largely due to the timing of payments. In some categories, the revenues received in September account for activity that occurred in FY 2023/24 and those revenues are accrued back to that year. In other cases, such as property tax, most payments are scheduled to occur later in the fiscal year.

REVENUE OVERVIEW AND COMPARISON BY TYPE

4 City of Santa Clara
Financial Status Report as of September 30, 2024
General Fund Revenues
Sales Tax: The City of Santa Clara sales tax rate is 9.125%, of which the City receives 1.0%. As of September 30, 2024, $4.7 million has been collected, which is 6.0% lower than prior year collection levels. Given the timing of payments, the sales tax payments reflected are for the month of July 2024.
Property Tax: $0.1 million in property tax receipts were received in September 2024. The majority of property tax revenue is collected in February and April each year. Based on initial information from the County of Santa Clara, property tax receipts are projected to end the year at $95.9 million, slightly above the Adopted Budget estimate of $94.4 million.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT): TOT is calculated as a percentage of City hotel/motel room charges. The City’s current TOT rate is 12.5% and will increase to 13.5% effective January 1, 2025.
Through September 30, 2024, approximately $2.0 million was received, which reflects a 55.3% increase when compared through the same period last fiscal year.
Other Taxes: Includes franchise tax and documentary transfer tax. The City has collected approximately $0.5 million through September, which is 27% lower than last fiscal year’s collection levels. Receipts through September primarily reflect franchise tax collections, with minimal documentary transfer tax revenue collected.
Licenses & Permits: Includes business licenses, fire operation permits, and miscellaneous permits and fees. Revenue collections are tracking above par with receipts totaling $2.9 million, or 36.1% of the $8.1 million budget. This reflects strong growth in all categories with the largest collections in the business license tax category. Effective FY 2023/24, the City implemented a new Business License Tax methodology which is reflected in the receipts recorded this fiscal year totaling $2.2 million, or 36.3% of the budget. This collection level is above the prior year level of $1.0 million due, in part, to the timing of payments; last year, collections at the beginning of the year were delayed with the implementation of the new tax structure.
Fines & Penalties: Includes vehicle, parking, court fines, and miscellaneous penalty fines. The revenue collected in this category through September was $0.3 million. Collections in this category are tracking below the prior year.
Intergovernmental: Includes motor vehicle fees, state homeowner tax relief, state mandated reimbursement and redistribution of land sale proceeds and ground leases from the Successor Agency.
Through September 30, 2024, approximately $0.4 million has been collected, or 37.8% of the $1.0 million budget.
Charges for Services: Includes various plan check and zoning-related fees, engineering fees, administrative fees, and community service revenue from various recreational activities. Through September, collections totaled approximately $9.3 million or 30.1% of the budget. This reflects a 27.6% increase compared to last year’s collections, primarily due to higher receipts from engineering fees, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) transport fees, and interdepartmental charges. 5 City of Santa Clara
Financial Status Report as of September 30, 2024
Silicon Valley Power Transfer: In accordance with the City’s charter, Silicon Valley Power pays 5.0% of gross revenues to the General Fund. Transfers throughout the year are based on the budgeted estimate and will be trued up at the end of the fiscal year based on actual performance.
Use of Money & Property: Includes realized investment income and rental income. Through September, $2.8 million has been collected, compared to $2.5 million last fiscal year. This increase is due to higher rents, specifically right-of-way, collected in the current year. This is mainly due to the timing of when the right-of-way revenue was recorded, when compared to last fiscal year. The negative amount under the interest category reflects an accrual to the prior year.
Miscellaneous Revenues: Includes developer fees, donations, damage recovery, sale of surplus, and one-time miscellaneous revenues. Through September, collections total $0.3 million, compared to $79,362 collected in the prior year.
Stadium Operation: Through September, approximately $2.1 million has been collected through charges for services.

Financial Status Report as of September 30, 2024
General Fund Expenditures
Below is an explanation of certain budget to actual expenditure variances by program.
Non-Departmental: Includes expenditures that are not attributable to a single department, but a function of the City in general. Through September 30, 2024, expenditures totaled $5.1 million, or
28.6% of the budget. These expenditures are above the par level of 25%, and significantly higher than prior year levels. This increase is due to the timing of the insurance payment; last fiscal year, these expenditures were not reflected until later in the fiscal year.
City Attorney: Actual expenditures through September totaled approximately $0.7 million, which is
21.3% of the budget, which is below par. Spending is significantly higher than the total expenditures through the same time last fiscal year by 15.9%. This increase is a result of higher spend primarily in the salaries and benefits categories and the outside legal services category.
City Clerk: Through September 30, 2024, actual expenditures were tracking at $0.6 million or approximately 27% of the budget. This expenditure level reflects a 65% increase compared to last fiscal year due to one-time Granicus costs that are paid every other year.
City Council: Through September, expenditures were at 25.5% of budget, which is slightly above par.
Compared to the same period through last fiscal year, this reflects an increase in expenditures due to higher salaries and benefits spending.
City Manager: The actual expenditures through September totaled $1.2 million, or 13.1% of the budget, which is below par for this time of the year. Expenditures are approximately 39% higher compared with the spending level through the same period last fiscal year. The increase is attributable to higher spend in the salaries and benefits and advertising and miscellaneous services and supplies categories.
Community Development Department: This department consists of three divisions: Planning, Building, and Housing and Community Services. The Building Division of this department is reflected in the Building Development Services Fund, which falls under the special revenue section of this report.
Through September, departmental expenditures for the Planning and Housing and Community Services divisions totaled $1.2 million, or 22% of the budget, which is below par of 25%. This expenditure level is consistent with prior year spend.
Finance Department: Through September, the Department’s expenditures totaled $5.5 million, or
24.9% of the budget, which is at par. This expenditure level was approximately 30.7% higher than through the same period last year. The current year spend reflects higher salaries and benefits and contractual services costs, primarily related to PeopleSoft and the Questica Budget System.
Fire Department: Through September 30, 2024, actual expenditures totaled $17.8 million, or 26.6% of the budget, which is above par. These expenditures also reflect a 6.8% increase from last fiscal year due to higher expenditures across the salaries and benefits, interfund services, and non-personnel categories. Overtime expenditures are tracking over budget at 155% due, in part, to overtime 8 City of Santa Clara
Financial Status Report as of September 30, 2024
expenditures related to mutual aid deployment efforts. These costs are reimbursable, and budget actions will continue to be brought forward for City Council approval to recognize the reimbursements and adjust the Department overtime budget throughout the fiscal year as reimbursements are received.
Excluding mutual aid-related costs, the overtime budget is 73.8% expended through September.
Overtime is used to backfill for shift absences and vacant shift positions to maintain daily minimum staffing. It is anticipated that overtime expenditures will exceed the overtime budget as the current absence rate exceeds the estimate used in the development of the budget.
Absences are significantly above historical levels at 20,648 hours through September. This level, however, is down 7% from the 22,299 hours through September of the prior fiscal year. Absences that are trending high are in the areas of workers’ compensation/injury leave, Family Medical Leave Act leave, sick leave, and vacation usage. It is important to note that employees can elect for compensatory time over overtime pay when backfilling shift absences, which increases the need to backfill when the compensatory time is used. Through September, the compensatory time payouts total $472,099, which is above historical levels but 40% below the payouts of $787,792 experienced through September of last fiscal year. The Department will continue to monitor the overtime expenditures throughout the fiscal year and bring forth budget recommendations, as needed.
Library Department: Through September, actual expenditures totaled $3.0 million, or 25% of the budget, which is at par, and 21.9% higher than expenditure levels last fiscal year. The higher spending is primarily in the salaries and benefits and maintenance categories.
Parks and Recreation Department: Through September 30, 2024, actual expenditures totaled $5.3 million, or 22.3% of the budget, which is slightly below par, but consistent with prior year spend.
Police Department: Expenditures through September are tracking at expected levels at $22.2 million, or 23.9% of the budget; this is approximately 7.6% higher than prior year spending. The higher spend is primarily in the salaries and benefits and contractual services categories.
Stadium Operation: Stadium operating expenditures are incurred first and billed on a reimbursement basis creating a timing difference in revenue recognition. Stadium expenditures totaled $2.9 million through September, which is lower than the prior year. This is primarily due to fewer ticketed Non-NFL events being held in the current year, resulting in lower as needed and overtime spend. The Stadium hosted four ticketed Non-NFL events and three NFL games through September. 9 City of Santa Clara

REVENUE AND EXPENSES - OVERVIEW AND COMPARISON BY FUND
REVENUE - FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 PRIOR YEAR REVENUE COMPARISON EXPENSES - FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 PRIOR YEAR EXPENSE COMPARISON While revenues are tracking slightly higher than prior years, expenditures are consistent with prior year levels. In the Water Utility Fund, there have been higher customer service charges collected, along with higher personnel, resource and maintenance costs charged. Additionally, in the Water Recycling Fund, a payment for the 4th quarter of last fiscal year was recorded in the current fiscal year due to the timing of receipt of the invoice. A budget adjustment to carryover the budget from FY 2023/24 to FY 2024/25 is included in the FY 2023/24 Budgetary Year-End Report for that payment.
Revenues in the electric (which also includes the Electric Debt Service Fund), water, and sewer utility (which also includes the Sewer Debt Service Fund) and water recycling funds are primarily from customer service charges. The activity levels for these customer service charges also impact the resource and production costs on the expenditure side for these funds. The lower the revenue from customer service charges, the lower the expenditures in the resource and production category. 13 City of Santa Clara
Financial Status Report as of September 30, 2024
A summary of revenue and expenses in the Enterprise Capital Improvement Funds is detailed in the table below. Actual revenue through September 30, 2024, totaled $5.4 million, consisting primarily of developer contributions and load development fees in the Electric Utility Fund and sewer fees in the Sewer Utility Fund. Enterprise capital fund expenses totaled $14.7 million, or 3% of the amended budget. Similar to the general government capital funds, capital funds were carried over from FY 2023/24 as part of the FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26 budget adoption process for those projects that were not expected to be completed by June 30, 2024. Additional necessary adjustments to the capital carryover amounts based on actual year-end expenditures are included in the FY 2023/24 Budgetary Year-End Report for that payment.

1 CITY OF SANTA CLARA
SUMMARY OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
All securities held by the City of Santa Clara as of September 30, 2024 were in compliance with the City's Investment Policy Statement regarding current market strategy and long-term goals and objectives. All securities held are rated A or higher by two nationally recognized rating agencies. There is adequate cash flow and maturity of investments to meet the City’s needs for the next six months.
The following table provides the breakdown of the total portfolio among the City, the Sports and Open Space Authority (SOSA), and the Housing Authority (HA) as of September 30, 2024.
On September 30, 2024 the cost value and market value of the City's unrestricted pooled investment portfolio were $1,178,344,227 and $1,185,890,329 respectively.
Investment Strategy and Market Update
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) lowered the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points (bps) to 4.75% -
5.00% at its September meeting. The half percentage point cut was well-digested by markets despite expectations being split between 25 and 50 bps. Federal Reserve Chair Powell described the risks to achieving the Fed’s employment and inflation goals as now being “roughly in balance.”
The August PCE reading of 2.2% year-over-year hit its lowest level since February 2021, continuing the trajectory towards the Fed’s 2% inflation target.
Nonfarm payrolls came in well above expectations and showed 254,000 net new jobs created in September, the strongest print since March. The July and August prints were revised up by a combined 72,000. Additionally, the unemployment rate ticked back down to 4.1%, from 4.2% the prior month. The strength of the labor market continues to serve as a tailwind to the consumer.
U.S. Treasury yields continued their descent in September as markets digested the Fed’s first cut. Overnight and short-term maturities (less than three months) declined in lockstep with the 50 basis point cut. Meanwhile, the yield on the 2-year U.S. Treasury note declined 1.4% from its six-month high in April.
Yields on benchmark 2-, 5-, and 10-year U.S. Treasuries ended the month at 3.64%, 3.56%, and 3.78%, respectively, representing changes of -28, -14, and -12 bps for the month, respectively.

2 The City's investment strategy for September 2024 was to invest funds not required to meet current obligations, in securities listed in the prevailing Investment Policy Statement, with maturities not to exceed five years from date of purchase. This strategy ensures safety of the City’s funds, provides liquidity to meet the City’s cash needs, and earns a reasonable portfolio return. PFM Asset Management LLC began actively managing the City’s securities portfolio on September 1, 2020.
As of September 30, 2024, 51.26% of the City’s portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury Notes, 18.58% consists of investment grade Corporate Notes, 12.05% consists of California Asset Management Program (CAMP), 6.69% consists of Federal Agencies, 5.12% consists of investment grade Asset-Back Securities, 4.87% consists of investment grade Mortgage-Backed Securities, 0.64% consists of Negotiable Certificates of Deposit, and 0.51% consists of Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on the City of Santa Clara Audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and Audited Silicon Valley Power Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024, as Recommended by the Audit Committee
COUNCIL PILLARS
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
Promote Sustainability and Environmental Protection
BACKGROUND
On November 21, 2024, the Audit Committee took action to accept the City of Santa Clara Audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and Silicon Valley Power (SVP) Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024 and referred the reports to the City Council to be noted and filed at the December 3, 2024 Council meeting.
The annual financial audit is a requirement of Section 1319 of the City Charter. The ACFR presents the audited financial information of the City in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) applicable to government entities, and it also provides the City Council valuable information for financial oversight and informs Santa Clara residents and businesses as well as creditors.
The separate audited annual financial report for SVP is presented to make available additional information and disclosure relevant to the electric industry. The unmodified opinions from the auditor enhance the SVP’s reputation, and its adherence to GAAP applicable to governmental entities.
DISCUSSION
The annual financial audit of the City was recently completed and the City’s external auditor, Maze & Associates (“Maze”), issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the City’s ACFR for fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The ACFR includes an extensive discussion and presentation of the City’s financial data and its related agencies in accordance with GAAP. The ACFR also includes selected multi-year statistical information about the City. In addition, the City issued a separate, audited comparative financial statement report for SVP for fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
City Finance staff prepares the financial statements and Maze audits the financial information contained within them. Part of the audit is to determine whether City staff have the appropriate skills, knowledge, and expertise to prepare the ACFR in accordance with GAAP and other reporting requirements. Based on their audit, Maze determined that the City’s Finance staff has the necessary skills, knowledge, and expertise to compile high quality reports.

24-832 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024
Overall, the City’s financial condition was solid at the end of the fiscal year 2023/24. Key financial highlights for fiscal year June 30, 2024 are as follows:
· The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City, as a whole, exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $2.6 billion in fiscal year 2023/24. · The City’s total net position increased by $313 million and primarily includes a $33 million increase in the governmental activities and a $280 million increase in business activities. · At the close of fiscal year 2023/24, the General Fund had assets of $457 million and a fund balance of $181 million. This represents an increase in fund balance of $28 million, or 18.3% from the prior fiscal year. The increase reflects the modest growth of the local economy since the pandemic.
· The City’s total outstanding long-term debt decreased by $18 million during the current fiscal year primarily due to the repayment of Stadium Authority debt, Electric revenue bonds, and Sewer loans partially offset by the issuance of $36 million in Sewer Certificates of Participation.
· The City’s total net pension liability, which includes governmental activities and business-type activities, increased by $24 million to $686 million at June 30, 2024. The changes were mainly due to the change in the differences between expected and actual experience liability claims.
The City is a member of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California.
City staff and Maze met with the City Council Audit Committee on November 21, 2024.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council and Residents of the City of Santa Clara City of Santa Clara
Santa Clara, CA 95050
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council and Residents of the City of Santa Clara:
It is our pleasure to submit for your information the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Santa Clara (City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The City compiles and prepares the annual financial report to provide interested parties with reliable information concerning the financial condition and results of operations for the City.
Responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the fairness of presentation, including all footnotes and disclosures, rests with the City. Management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal control has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
Per the City Charter (Section 1319, Independent Audit) the City’s financial statements have been audited by Maze & Associates, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 are free of material misstatements. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. v
City of
Santa Clara
The Center of What's Possible
vi
The independent audit of the financial statements of the City was part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require that agencies expending more than $750,000 in federal monies, are required to have the independent auditor report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in the City’s separately issued Single Audit Report, scheduled for release in March 2025.
Management has provided a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). The letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
This report is divided into three sections:
The Introductory Section includes this letter of transmittal, an organizational overview of the City government, and prior awards received.
The Financial Section consists of the independent auditor’s report, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Basic Financial Statements (which include the Government-Wide Financial Statements, Fund Financial Statements, and Notes to Basic Financial Statements), Required Supplementary Information, and a Supplementary Section containing the Combined and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules.
The Statistical Section includes a number of tables of unaudited data depicting the financial history of the City, demographics, and other selected information about the City.
PROFILE OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA
The City is located in the County of Santa Clara, California, and is approximately 45 miles southeast of San Francisco and three miles west of downtown San Jose. It is situated in the northern part of the County and occupies approximately 19.3 square miles.
The City enjoys a diversified industrial and commercial base. Santa Clara is headquarters to some of the nation's leading electronics, telecommunications, computer, and semiconductor firms. The City is also home to a university, a community college, an adult learning center, a general hospital, a theme park, and a stadium.
The City’s population is estimated at 132,048 indicating the City remains an attractive place both to live and work. The City is one of the most highly desirable areas to live because of the high- quality services it provides to residents and its business friendly environment.
The City of Santa Clara, also known as the Mission City, is a charter city incorporated in 1852 under the laws of the State of California. The City’s powers are exercised through a Council/Manager form of government. The City Council is made up of the Mayor, elected at large, and six councilmembers elected by district serving as the legislative authority. The City Council appoints a City Manager who is responsible for the overall management and administration of the City, a City Attorney to represent and advise the City Council and all City officers in all matters of law pertaining to their offices, and a City Auditor to audit and approve all bills, invoices, payrolls, demands or charges against the City government before payment and, with the advice of the City Attorney, advise the City Council as to the regularity, legality and correctness of such claims, demands or charges. The Police Chief and the City Clerk are also publicly elected officials. vii
The City provides a full range of services. These services include police, fire protection and emergency dispatch; electric, water, and sanitary sewer services; the construction and maintenance of streets and infrastructure; parks and recreational activities and cultural events; planning and zoning; library; cemetery; and general administrative and support services.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The local economy continued to improve during fiscal year 2023-24 as the nation, State, and local economies continued to recover from COVID-19. On a national level, unemployment rates in June 2024 totaled 4.1%, an increase of 0.5% compared to the prior year. This rate is still below the record setting high of 14.8% in April 2020, and slightly above the pre-pandemic unemployment rate of 3.5%. The unadjusted unemployment rate in the San José-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) increased slightly from 3.7% in June 2023 to 4.2% in June 2024.
The City’s financial position has improved since the adoption of the fiscal year 2022-23 budget. Fiscal year 2023-24 saw the continued recovery of the impact of COVID-19 on the local economy. Strong Property Tax collections continued to reflect high assessed valuation growth due to property sales and new construction projects. Despite slowing growth due to higher interest and inflation rates, Property Tax remains the largest revenue category for the City’s General Fund. Sales Tax exceeded pre-pandemic levels, reflecting both a local recovery and the impact of inflation on the prices of goods for which this tax is applied. The City continued budget balancing efforts during the fiscal year in part through the use of onetime reserves, expenditure reductions, and new revenues. As the City looks ahead, the City Council amended a balanced fiscal year 2024-25 Operating Budget and approved a two-year fiscal year 2024-25 and 2025-26 Capital Budget. Forecasts currently show a small deficit beyond the two-year budget.
Significant funding gaps for certain capital infrastructure needs have been identified. A total of $626 million of unfunded projects which include the City’s parks, fire stations, transportation, storm and other city infrastructure over the next five-years. A workplan considering several options of new revenues is underway including a $400 million General Obligation Bond Measure that voters passed in November 2024.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Long-term Financial Planning
The City Council has adopted key Council Strategic Pillars to guide long-term policy decisions and address the economic challenges that the City faces. The Council Strategic Pillars are:
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing and Transportation Development Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure Enhance Community Sports, Recreational and Arts Assets Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
Ensure Compliance with Measure J and Manage Levi’s Stadium Manage Strategically Our Workforce Capacity and Resources viii
Promote Sustainability and Environmental Protection
In addition, the City produces an annual Ten-Year Financial Forecast. The purpose of the Forecast is to provide policy-makers and the public an updated assessment of the City’s fiscal health that takes into account the latest economic developments. The report includes historical perspective on revenues and expenditures and a ten-year financial outlook beyond the adopted budget year. The value of this type of analysis is to give the City Council, staff, and the public a tool to assist with strategic decision-making as they work to adopt the budget for the coming year. The Forecast is a collaborative effort between the City Manager’s Office, Finance Department, and City departments. Individual projections of revenues and expenditures are developed based on trend analyses, input from available economic reports, consultant recommendations, and input from other subject matter experts. The most current information available is incorporated into the Plan and refined on a moving forward basis as part of the City’s commitment to fiscal responsibility.
The Forecast does not include the following:
One-time funding sources and one-time expenditure needs; The cost to address unmet/deferred capital infrastructure needs; Potential additional revenue from the Stadium (performance rent/excess revenue) and the Related project (future project phases);
Revenue and staffing impacts of development projects; and Additional contributions to Reserves (Budget Stabilization Reserve, Capital Projects Reserve, Pension Reserve).
Historically, the City has funded many of capital infrastructure and equipment needs with one-time funds on a pay-as-you-go basis. The use of one-time funds as the funding mechanism for capital improvements and various equipment that rely on the General Fund creates challenges. The lack of sufficient one-time funding has resulted in a backlog of unmet/deferred infrastructure needs. As part of the budget process, in May 2024, staff presented an updated unmet/deferred infrastructure need of over $626 million over the next five-years. Staff will continue to evaluate potential options to create capacity to address those funding.
In addition to the elements described above that are not factored into the Forecast, the City has identified various factors that could have potential positive or negative impacts on the Forecast. These include:
Future economic slowdown/recession;
Re-assessment of properties for property tax purposes; State/federal legislative changes and legal challenges; Labor costs outside the budget assumptions;
CalPERS actuarial changes or reform actions;
Unanticipated critical capital/infrastructure needs; and Maintenance impacts and timing of development projects. ix
The City’s financial position has significantly improved since the adoption of the fiscal year 2024-25 budget. The latest Ten-Year General Fund Forecast, updated in April 2024, shows smaller deficits of $6.0 million and $11.9 million in fiscal year 2025-26 and fiscal year 2026-27. The out-years of the forecast shows shortfalls ranging from $6.0 million to $19.3 million which equates to 1.9% to 5.0% of expenditures annually.
While we continue to face a structural budget imbalance, impacts from the pandemic, and significant recovery has been achieved. As we look ahead, additional work efforts will be needed to generate new revenues, reduce costs, or use reserves to balance the forthcoming budget.
Internal Controls
The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse, and that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Internal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. All internal control evaluations occur within the stated framework. City management believes the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
Budgetary Controls
As part of the City's internal controls, it maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annually appropriated budget approved by the City Council. In addition, a two-year Capital Improvement Project Budget or a two-year Operating Budget is adopted annually and a Ten-Year Financial Forecast is updated and presented as part of the budget each year. The City Council is responsible for approving the appropriation of fiscal resources to cover estimated expenditures for each fiscal year. Expenditures are appropriated in each fund to departments, offices, and agencies for various goods, services, and capital projects described in the budget.
The legal appropriation control is established at the department level in each fund. For select funds where expenditures are not allocated to a specific department, the appropriation control is established at the fund level. For capital funds, the appropriation control is at the project level. Transfers of funding between budgetary funds require City Council appropriation and approval. City Council approval is required for a budget amendment during the fiscal year which may include the use of reserves or fund balances, and approval of appropriations of grant monies. The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique for accomplishing budgetary control. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are included within the specific fund balance category of the underlying resource. Per Article XIII, Section 1305 of the City Charter, appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year; therefore, unencumbered funds allocated for specific projects, donations, and grants require City Council appropriation for use in the following fiscal year.
Budgetary transfers between accounts or expenditure category may be done through Finance Department as long as they are conducted within the legal appropriation control limit set by the City Council.
Independent Audit
The City Charter and State of California statutes require the City to have an annual audit by an independent certified public accountant. The City goes to the market with a formal Request for Proposal for audit services every five years. The accounting firm of Maze & Associates, Certified Public Accountants, was selected by the City Council again in 2021 after the City conducted a competitive procurement process. x
This is the third year of audit in the new contract with Maze & Associates. In addition to meeting the requirements set forth in the City Charter and State statutes, the audit is designed to meet the requirements of the federal Single Audit Act of 1984, as amended in 1996 and by the recent Uniform Guidance. The auditors' report on the basic financial statements and the supplementary combining statements and schedules are included in the financial section of this report. The auditors' reports related specifically to the single audit are included in a separately issued single audit document on file with the City Clerk’s Office.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
Addressing our Capital Infrastructure
Looking ahead, the City Council took action to adopt a two-year capital investment plan that focuses on our capital infrastructure, supporting the facilities that serve our residents and community. The Biennial fiscal year 2024-25 and 2025-26 Capital Budget totals $928 million and the Five-Year CIP totals $1.33 billion, supporting infrastructure improvements throughout the City. Of this CIP amount, $1.1 billion (83%) funds capital projects for the City’s utilities and there is sufficient funding in the associated utility funds to support these projects. The other projects total $225 million and fund improvements to the parks, trails, libraries, transportation system, storm system, convention center and other City facilities. There are significant funding gaps in these areas and unfunded projects identified in this budget total $626 million over the next five years. This funding gap does not fully represent all the unmet/deferred infrastructure needs throughout the City beyond the five-year CIP period. Long term funding strategies are needed to meet these infrastructure needs as the General Fund does not have sufficient funding to cover the significant unfunded capital costs. New funding strategies are needed to meet these infrastructure needs. After an analysis of potential options, the City Council approved the inclusion of a $400 million General Obligation Bond measure on the November 2024 ballot and voters passed the measure with a two-thirds majority.
Fiscal Sustainability
The fiscal year 2023-24 General Fund balancing strategy adopted as part of the fiscal year 2024-25 and 2025-26 biennial budget remains in place. The use of one-time reserves and federal stimulus funds, new revenues, and expenditure reductions has balanced the competing goals of aligning ongoing revenues and expenditures and minimizing the service delivery impacts to the community. It has also allowed time for General Fund revenues to recover. This strategy has positioned the City well with the balanced fiscal year 2024-25 budget. While the financial picture is much better, it is important to note that significant economic uncertainty persists.
Development Projects
More than $3 billion in new development projects are on the horizon for Santa Clara in the next few years, with the likelihood of more to come. There are many residential and commercial projects in various stages of planning. While some of these projects are underway, it is important to note that changes in the office environment due to new remote-work trends has caused some pause to activity as developers reassess demand for commercial projects. Furthermore, the recent continuation of elevated inflation impacts to construction costs and high interest rates resulting in higher borrowing costs creates a potential for a slowdown in development activity. As these projects are both sensitive to new community requirements and an economic downturn: therefore, flexibility will be required. Below are highlights of a few of the larger planned projects:
xi
Related Santa Clara Project
Related Santa Clara is a unique partnership between the City of Santa Clara and Related Companies to create a LEED-certified, multi-phased, mixed-use destination adjacent to Levi’s Stadium. This urban center will incorporate residential units, restaurants, entertainment venues, hotels, retail, and office space to establish a new neighborhood in a pedestrian oriented “live, work, play” environment.
Related Santa Clara consists of 9.2 million square feet of mixed-use development with a city center of commercial office, retail/entertainment including a globally inspired food market, 1,680 residential units, 700 hotel rooms and approximately 5 million square feet of corporate office space. The development will also feature new roadways and the creation of a 30-acre city park. The project site consists of 240 acres located at 5155 Stars & Stripes Drive in Santa Clara, CA.
Downtown Master Plan
The City of Santa Clara is in the process of planning for the revitalization of our Downtown by developing a Precise Plan that will provide guidance for new development within a portion of the Downtown Focus Area. Following an initial community engagement effort, three land use scenarios/conceptual plans have been developed. Additional review and testing of the land use/design options, a larger context study to understand compatibility and competition from other large development projects, and an El Camino Real intersection study to understand multi modal connectivity from regional transit to downtown will be performed. This work will focus on market feasibility, retail strategy and connectivity.
Freedom Circle Mixed Use Project
This project proposes a General Plan Amendment and Re-zoning to Planned Development to construct a mixed-use development project on a 13.3 acre site within the Freedom Circle focus plan area, that consists of up to 1,100 residential units With 1,540 parking spaces, up to 2,000 square feet of commercial space with 10 parking spaces and a two-acre public park.
Gateway Crossing Mixed Use Project
Developed by Hunter/Storm, this project currently under construction consists of up to 1,565 residential units, a 152,000 square foot, 225 room, full-service hotel, 45,000 square feet of supporting retail, a 2.1 acre park, structured parking facilities, private and public streets, and on and off-site public and private improvements. This project is currently under construction.
Mission Point by Kylii Mixed Use Development Project
This project is in review for a General Plan amendment for a nine-parcel property to amend the designation from High-Intensity Office/Research to a newly-established mixed-use designation allowing a high-intensity mix of office, commercial, and residential uses. The Project proposes a rezone for the development of 3,000,000 +/- square feet of commercial office/lab space, 100,000 +/- square feet of neighborhood retail, 1,800 +/- new multi-family residential, a childcare facility, and indoor and outdoor community spaces, as well as a large network of diverse, accessible and interconnected park, trail, and open spaces, and related infrastructure improvements.
Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan
The City has developed a Specific Plan to implement the City’s General Plan goals and policies for the Patrick Henry Drive plan area by providing more detailed guidance for future land uses and urban design xii
elements. The vision is to transform a series of 1970s office parks several existing office parks into a cohesive, high-density mixed-use community that fosters economic vitality, helps ameliorate the State’s housing shortage, and enhances quality of life for those who live, work, and recreate in the area. The Patrick Henry Drive Specific Plan planning area encompasses approximately 74-acres of land bounded by Calabazas Creek, Mission Community College, Great America parkway, and the SFPUC right of way, as shown below.
Lawrence Station Area Plan
The Lawrence Station Area Plan provides a mixed-use development on an approximately 72 acres site (65 acres of developable land area excluding existing public right-of-way) located in close proximity to the Caltrain Lawrence Station serving the communities of Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. The Plan creates a lively neighborhood that accommodates up to 3,500 residential dwelling units, roughly 100,000 square feet of neighborhood oriented and convenience retail, and approximately 6.3 acres of public open space in conjunction with various outdoor recreational facilities and landscape features, such as a community garden, a public plaza, pocket parks and paseos. The targeted residential density is 45 - 56 dwelling units per acre. While substantial completion of this development was achieved the continuation of the full buildout of this plan is underway. Associated infrastructure improvements were completed, including an internal road network comprised of public and private streets, and upgrades to sewer, water, and storm drain systems.
Tasman East Specific Plan
The project area is an existing industrial neighborhood 45 acres in size, and is bounded by Tasman Drive to the south, the Guadalupe River to the East, the Santa Clara golf course to the north, and Lafayette Street to the west. The Plan creates a framework for the development of a high-density and transit-oriented neighborhood (currently proposed to be up to 100 Dwelling units per acre), along with supportive retail services. The specific plan will lay out allowed uses, densities, height limits and design criteria in the Tasman East area. Connections to the existing Guadalupe River trail, potential locations for parkland, and strategies for better access to transit will also be incorporated into the plan. The City is currently developing an amendment to the Tasman East Specific Plan that would allow an additional 1,500 units within the existing Specific Plan boundaries. City staff are currently exploring ways to provide additional dedicated parkland as a part of the Amendment.

The City has adopted a comprehensive set of financial policies. These policies address items such as budget, cash management, interfund loans, investments, reserves, and debt management. The City Council reviews and approves budgetary policies as part of the annual budget process. Investment and debt policy statements are reviewed and approved by the City Council under separate cover.
AWARDS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement in Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award, recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports and is valid for a period of one year only. The City has received this prestigious award for the past thirty two consecutive years.
To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized annual comprehensive financial report. This repo1t must satisfy both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and applicable legal requirements. We believe that our current Annual Comprehensive Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Programs' requirements and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another ce1tificate.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services of the entire staff of the Finance Depattment. We wish to thank all City departments for their assistance in providing the data necessary to prepare this report. Credit and thanks are also due to the Mayor and City Council members for their unfailing suppo1t for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the City's finances.

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
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Clara, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the Table of Contents. We did not audit the component unit financial statements of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), as of and for the year ended March 31, 2024, which is both a major fund and 39.6%, 6.9%, and 9.3% of the assets, net position and revenues, respectively, of the business-type activities. The financial statements of the Stadium Authority were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Stadium Authority, is based solely on the report of other auditors.
We also 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), M-S-R Public Power Agency (MSR PPA), and San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility and Clean Water Financing Authority (SJSC) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, related to the calculation of the Investments in Joint Ventures. The Investment in these Joint Ventures collectively represents 9.4%,
17.6%, and 1.7%, respectively, of total assets, net position and revenues of the business-type activities.
The financial statements of the NCPA, TANC, MSR EA, MSR PPA and SJSC 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 respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirement relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. 1 Accountancy Corporation

Responsibilities of Management 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 the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if, there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
2 Emphasis of Matters
As discussed in Note 6, the Stadium Authority restated balances related to the accounting and reporting of leases in the Santa Clara Stadium Authority Enterprise Fund as of March 31, 2023. In addition, the City determined that the Stadium Authority’s ground lease with the City is not subject to GASB 87, Leases, in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and as a result, the Santa Clara Stadium Authority Enterprise Fund net position has been restated to reflect the elimination and reclassification of that transaction for reporting in the City’s financial statements. The emphasis of these matters 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.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying Supplementary Information, as listed in the Table of Contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Supplementary Information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory Section and Statistical Section listed in the Table of Contents, but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exits, we are required to describe it in our report.
3 Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 21, 2024, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of the City of Santa Clara’s (City) Annual Comprehensive Financial Report provides an overview of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the City’s financial performance. Readers should review the discussion and analysis in conjunction with the basic financial statements, as well as the notes to the financial statements to enhance their understanding of the City’s financial performance.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Financial highlights for fiscal year June 30, 2024 are as follows:
In the fiscal year 2023-24, the City's assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $2.6 billion. Out of this amount, $107 million represents unrestricted net position, which is $176 million higher than in the fiscal year 2022-23.
This is made up of a negative balance of $282 million for governmental activities and a positive balance of $389 million for business-type activities. The negative net position in governmental activities primarily stems from a net pension liability of $538 million and a net Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) liability of $26 million as of June 30, 2024. The City's total net position increased by $313 million, with $33 million increase in governmental activities, primarily driven by the steady economic growth since the pandemic. The remaining $280 million increase came from business-type activities, including a $222 million rise in the Electric Utility Fund, mainly due to higher rates and reduced resource purchase expenditures, and a $36 million increase in the Sewer Utility Fund, largely due to the higher equity income in the joint project with City of San Jose.
The total net pension liability, encompassing both governmental activities and business-type activities, experienced an increase of $24 million or 3.6% during fiscal year 2023-24, reaching $686 million from $662 million. This increase was primarily driven by the change in the differences between expected and actual experience liability calculation. As of June 30, 2024, there were deferred outflows of resources related to pensions amounting to $169 million, reflecting a decrease of $7 million compared to the previous year. In contrast, there were deferred inflows of resources related to pensions totaling $4 million at June 30, 2024, which marked a decrease of $1 million from the prior fiscal year. For more detailed information regarding the net pension liability, please refer to Note 13.
The net OPEB liability decreased by $2 million or 5.4% during fiscal year 2023-24, reducing it to $36 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $38 million in fiscal year 2022-23. More details on the net OPEB liability are included in Note 16.
The City’s total liabilities, excluding net pension liability and net OPEB liability, increased by $12 million, reaching to $1,050 million as of June 30, 2024. The increase of the liabilities is mainly attributed to $32 million in accrued liabilities, partially offset by the net reduction/repayment of $18 million of long term obligations when compared to the fiscal year 2022-23. As of June 30, 2024, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $401 million, an increase of $32 million from the prior year. At June 30, 2024, $109 million is in the unassigned fund balance and available for spending at the City’s discretion. At the close of fiscal year 2023-24, the General Fund had assets of $457 million and a fund balance of $181 million. This represents an increase in fund balance of $28 million, or 18.3% from prior fiscal year. The increase reflects the modest growth of the local economy since the pandemic. Of MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
6 the total fund balance, $144 million was unrestricted (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned components of fund balance).
In November 2012, the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority) elected to adjust its fiscal year to April 1 through March 31 to conform with the fiscal year of Stadium Funding Trust (FinanceCo). This report covers the twelve month period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the carrying value of Levi’s Stadium, net of depreciation, is $679 million, and the assets of the Stadium Authority exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflow of the lease revenues by $133 million.
The City’s total outstanding long-term debt decreased by $18 million, primarily due to the repayment of $54 million for Stadium Authority debt, Electric revenue bonds, and Sewer loans partially offset by the issuance of $36 million in Sewer Certificates of Participation.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements and notes to those statements. These statements are organized so the reader can understand the City as a whole. This report consists of six parts – introductory section, financial/MD&A section, basic financial statements, required supplementary information, supplementary information, and statistical section.
The basic financial statements include two types of statements that present different views of the City:
The Government-wide Financial Statements provide both long-term and short-term information about the City’s overall financial status.
The Fund Financial Statements focus on individual parts of the government, reporting the City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements.
Government-wide Financial Statements
Government-wide statements report information about the City as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. They include the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the government’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net position may serve as an indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities provides information about the City’s revenues and expenses, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. The Statement of Activities explains in detail the change in net position for the fiscal year.
The Government-wide Financial Statements are divided into two categories:
Governmental Activities—all of the City’s basic services are governmental activities. Included in basic services are the City Council, City Manager, City Clerk, City Attorney, Information Technology, Human Resources, Finance, Parks and Recreation, Library, Planning and Inspection, Public Works, Police, and Fire. These services are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
7 Business-Type Activities—unlike governmental services, these services are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges. All the City’s enterprise activities are reported as business-type activities, including the Major funds (Electric, Water, Sewer, Water Recycling utilities, and Stadium Authority) and Non-Major funds (Solid Waste, Cemetery, Santa Clara Convention Center, and Sports and Open Space Authority).
The City is the primary government in this report. These financial statements include four entities that, although legally separate, are important because they are blended component units of the City. These component units are the Santa Clara Stadium Authority, City of Santa Clara Sports and Open Space Authority, the Santa Clara Housing Authority, and the City of Santa Clara Public Facilities Financing Corporation. These component units have been included as an integral part of the City (that is, they have been “blended” with those of the City) and they are not reported as separate discrete component units in these financial statements.
Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds, called major funds. Each major fund is presented individually, with all non-major funds combined in a single column on each fund statement. The non-major fund statements are presented in the Supplementary Information section of this report. Major funds present the primary activities of the City for the year and may change from year to year as a result of changes in the pattern of the City’s activities. All the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds: Most of the City’s basic services are included in Governmental Funds which focus on how money flows into and out of these funds and the balance left at fiscal year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental funds statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City’s general governmental operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the Government-wide Financial Statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
Proprietary Funds: Enterprise and Internal Service Fund Financial Statements are prepared on the full accrual basis of accounting, similar to that used by private sector companies. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. The City’s Proprietary Funds are the same as the business-type activities reported in the Government-wide Statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows.
Since the City’s Internal Service Funds provide goods and services only to the City’s governmental and business-type activities, their activities are only reported at the fund level. Internal Service Funds cannot be considered major funds because their revenues are derived from other City funds. Revenues between funds are eliminated in the Government-wide Financial Statements and any related profits or losses are MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
8 returned to the activities in which they were created, along with any residual net position of the Internal Service Funds.
Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary Funds are prepared on the full accrual basis, similar to the Proprietary Funds.
The City has three types of Fiduciary Funds: the Custodial Funds (which includes Employee Supplemental Funds, Special Assessments, and Custodial Deposits), and the Private Purpose Trust Funds (which includes the Charitable Trust and Successor Agency). The City’s fiduciary activities are reported separately in the Statement of Fiduciary Net Position and the Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. These activities are excluded from the City’s Financial Statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its own operations.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is necessary to acquire a full understanding of the data provided in the Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements. The Notes to the Financial Statements follow the basic financial statements.
Other information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents required supplementary information. This information includes budgetary comparison schedules and the City’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and other post-employment benefits to its employees.
Required supplementary information can be found immediately following the Notes to the Financial Statements.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS
Citywide Financial Statements
This section focuses on the City’s net position and changes in net position of its governmental and businesstype activities for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. As noted earlier, the City’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceed total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $2.6 billion at the end of the fiscal year, an increase in net position of $313 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
10 The largest portion of the City’s net position, $1.8 billion (68%), is its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, infrastructure, buildings, machinery and equipment, right-to-use leased assets, and right-to-use SBITA), less any related outstanding debt that was used to acquire those assets and right-to-use liabilities.
The City uses these capital assets to provide services to its residents and other stakeholders. Accordingly, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources because the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
The restricted portion of the City’s net position of $738 million (28%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of $107 million (4%) is unrestricted.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all reported categories of net position except for the Information Technology Services Internal Service Fund and Workers’ Compensation Insurance Claims Internal Service Fund.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
12 Governmental Activities – the City’s governmental activities boosted its net position by $33 million, mainly attributed to the higher revenue from charge for services and operational grants received from other agencies during the fiscal year 2023-24.
Business-type Activities – the City’s business-type activities contributed to an increase of $280 million in the City’s net position. This substantial growth is primarily due to a $220 million increase in the Electric Utility Fund, resulting from a higher charge for services resulting from an 5% rate increase effective July 1, 2023, and a 10% rate increase effective January 1, 2024, along with an $80 million reduction in resource purchase expenditures.

Governmental Activities
(in millions)
In fiscal year 2023-24, the total cost of services increased by $18 million, while the net cost of services decreased $8 million compared to the previous year.
The increase in the total cost of services is largely driven by a $17 million rise in the Public Safety costs during fiscal year 2023-24. This growth is primarily attributed to a $11 million rise in CalPERS Safety pension expenditures and a $7 million increase in the personnel costs in the Fire Department compared to the prior year.
The net cost of services in the General Administration decreased $9 million from the prior year, reaching $8 million in fiscal year 2023-24. This decrease is primarily attributed to a $7 million increase in revenue from charges for services, resulting from the voter-approved change to the Business License Tax effective July 1, 2023. In Public Works, the net cost of services decreased by $11 million from the previous year, dropping to $15 million in fiscal year 2023-24, mainly due to a $10 million increase in grants received from other agencies.

Net Cost
In fiscal year 2023-24, the City's business-type total cost of services decreased by $79 million, leading to a $145 million reduction in the net cost of services.
The cost of services in the Electric Utility Fund decreased by $75 million to $584 million in fiscal year 2023-24. The decrease was driven by lower expenses for resource purchases. The net cost of services in the Electric Utility Fund is at negative $200 million, reflecting a $107 million reduction from fiscal year 2022-23. This decrease in net cost is primarily due to a $97 million increase in revenue on charges for services as a result of two phases of rate increases during the fiscal year.
The cost of services in the Sewer Utility Fund decreased by $50 million to $36 million. This reduction is primarily attributed to the prior year’s recognition of a $52 million equity loss in the sewer joint project with the City of San Jose. The net cost of services for the Sewer Utility fell to negative $32 million, marking a $60 million decrease from the previous year. This significant net cost change is primarily due to the $20 million equity gain in the sewer joint project with the City of San Jose, a stark contrast to the $52 million equity loss recognized in the prior year.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial Analysis of Governmental Funds
The City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
15 outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for discretionary use as they represent the portion of fund balance which has not yet been limited to use for a particular purpose.
At June 30, 2024, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $401 million, an increase of $32 million or 8.6% in comparison with the prior fiscal year. Approximately 27.3% or $109 million constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is either nonspendable, restricted, committed, or assigned to indicate that it is 1) not in spendable form, $6 million, 2) restricted for particular purposes, $168 million, 3) committed for particular purposes, $102 million, or 4) assigned for particular purposes, $16 million.
Governmental fund revenues were $375 million, reflecting an increase of $10 million, or 2.7%, from $365 million in the prior year. However, the other revenues decreased from $56 million in fiscal year 2022-23 to $9 million in fiscal year 2023-24, primarily due to reduced developer contribution in the park and recreation capital improvement fund and the City affordable housing fund. The overall revenue increase is mainly attributed to following factors:
a $17 million or 131.1% increase in intergovernmental revenue largely due to a $11 million rise for Street and Highway development projects and a $7 million increase in Fire department grants. a $16 million or 272.2% increase in unrealized gain from investment activities. a $7 million or 12.5% increase in charges for services. a $6 million or 7.2% increase in property tax revenues. a $4 million increase in interest and rent driven by new ground leases effective from January 2023 and higher interest revenue compared to the previous fiscal year. a $4 million increase in the contribution in-lieu tax from the Electric Utility Fund, resulting from higher charges for services due to rate increases.
Governmental fund expenditures were $343 million, reflecting an increase of $11 million or 3.3% compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily due to a $7 million increase in the personnel expenditure within the Public Safety program, and a $10 million increase in capital outlays for subscription-based IT arrangements for the City’s library and the transfer of land held for development in the Housing Successor fund to capital assets.
General Fund
Revenues
The City’s General Fund revenues totaled $311 million in fiscal year 2023-24, an increase of $36 million or 13.2% from the prior fiscal year.
Sales tax accounts for approximately 19.9% of the General Fund’s direct revenues. Sales tax revenue fell by $2.7 million, or 4.2% compared to the previous year, totaling $61.8 million. The decline was primarily due to an economic contraction resulting from a mild recession during the current fiscal year.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
16 Property tax (ad valorem) stands as the largest revenue source among General Fund revenues. In the fiscal year 2023-24, property tax revenues amounted to $91 million, reflecting an increase of $6.1 million, or a
7.2% growth from the previous year. This increase can be attributed to several factors, including reassessments following the sale of properties and the addition of new construction projects to the tax rolls.
These factors have collectively contributed to the continued rise in property tax revenue for the fiscal year.
Transient occupancy taxes (TOT) are calculated as a percentage of the charges for hotel and motel rooms within the city. In November 2020, Santa Clara voters approved to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax rate by up to 4%, and the first two percentage point increase went into effect on January 1, 2022. The City raised the rate from 11.5% to 12.5% in January 2024 from with the final one percentage point increase expected in January 2025, bringing the rate to 13.5%. The COVID-19 pandemic, along with related safety restrictions, significantly impacted TOT revenues towards the end of the fiscal year 2019-20 and throughout fiscal year 2020-21. However, fiscal year 2022-23 saw a notable recovery, which continued into 2023-24, with revenues increasing by $3.4 million, or 17.7%, compared to 2022-23, totaling $22.3 million. This growth is largely attributed to both the tax rate increase and the ongoing recovery from the pandemic.
Licenses, permits, fines and penalties revenues were $11.6 million in business licenses, parking permit, and miscellaneous permit in fiscal year 2023-24, compared to $6.6 million in the previous year. The 76.1% increase is attributed to the voter-approved change to the Business License Tax effective July 1, 2023, which updated the structure of the business tax and increased the amount of license and permit revenue.
Intergovernmental revenues were $0.9 million in fiscal year 2023-24 compared to $1.7 million in the previous year. The decrease is due to $0.8 million reduction in mutual aid reimbursement revenues for the fire departments and mandated reimbursement revenue for the police department when comparing to the prior year.
Charges for services, which excludes building development related activities, totaled $45.7 million in fiscal year 2023-24 compared to $42.1 million in the prior fiscal year, an increase of 8.6%. This increase is largely attributed to the ambulance transportation services and from service reimbursements related to the stadium events.
Contributions in-lieu of taxes were approximately $33.1 million in fiscal year 2023-24, a $3.6 million increase from the prior fiscal year. The increase is the result of higher consumption and retail rates.
Interest and rent revenues were $27.2 million in fiscal year 2023-24, reflecting a $3.9 million increase from the prior fiscal year. This increase was drive by higher interest rates and the addition of three new longterm ground leases with Related Santa Clara, LLC. effective January 1, 2023.
Expenditures
General Fund expenditures totaled $267 million for fiscal year 2023-24, 3.5% increase from the prior fiscal year total of $258 million. This amount excludes encumbrances, re-appropriations, and building related activities.
Salaries and benefits expenditures were $205 million in fiscal year 2023-24, a $7 million or 3.2% increase from the $198 million spent in the previous fiscal year 2022-23. The increase is primarily attribute to a $3.1 million increase in the police department, and $3.2 million increase in the general administration and public work departments.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
17 Other operating expenditures, encompassing various categories such as materials, services, supplies, internal service fund charges, debt service, and minor capital outlays were $62 million in fiscal year 2023- 24, an increase of $2 million from the prior fiscal year. The increase can be primarily attributed to a $2 million increase in the internal service fund cost allocation.
The uses of the other financing sources for fiscal year 2023-24 were $16 million, reflecting a increase of $12 million when compared to the prior fiscal year. This increase can be primarily attributed to an increase of $6.3 million for the various governmental capital improvement projects and a one-time transfer of $3.5 million for radio replacement project.
Fund Balance
As of June 30, 2024, total fund balance in the General Fund was $181 million, up $28 million from the fiscal year 2022-23. Table 5A shows the breakdown of various components compared with the prior fiscal year.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The City’s budget is a flexible-spending plan, which commits resources to the accomplishment of City Council goals and objectives. During the fiscal year, the City Council took action to amend the adopted General Fund budget. A summary of the budgetary comparison schedule for the General Fund, located in the required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, is shown in the following table:
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
18 Original Budget Compared to Final Budget

Expenditures $ 270 $ 276 $ 6
Other financing sources (uses) $ (9) $ (18) $ (9)
General Fund Budget for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024 Table 5B
(in millions)
Adjustments to the original budget were based on the following:
The $9 million increase in budgeted revenues is attributed to several factors: a $1 million mid-year budgetary adjustment in the property tax due to the solid growth of the projected receipts, a $4 million increase in charge for services driven by higher than anticipated revenues from events at Levi’s stadium and ambulance transportation, a $1 million rise in the penalties due to a higher actual collection, a $1 million increase in rental revenue from Commerce and Peddlers lease payments, and a $1 million increase in contribution in-lieu tax based on the higher than anticipated electric revenues in fiscal year 2023-24.
The increase in budgeted expenditures is primarily due to a $3 million mid-year budget increase in the stadium operations to account for the cost associated with additional events, a $2 million increase in appropriations in the general administration for HVAC repairs and replacements, and a $1 million increase in the salary and benefits in the Fire department due to overtime. The increase in budgeted Other Financing Uses is primarily due to a $3.5 million transfer to communication acquisition fund for radio replacements, a $3.7 million transfer to support the storm drain and city hall capital improvement projects, and a $1.3 million transfer to fire new development service fund to true up the fund balance.

(in millions)
The most significant differences between actual and final budgeted amounts are explained as follows:
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
19 The final budgeted revenues resulted in a $13 million positive variance mainly due to a $6 million increase in the property taxes, sales taxes, and transient occupancy taxes, a $4 million increase in the interest and rents, a $3 million increase in the charges for services. Actual expenditures were $10 million lower than the final budget as a result of lower departmental costs. See the General Fund Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances Budget Actual (Non-GAAP Basis) for additional details.
Santa Clara Housing Successor
The Santa Clara Housing Successor (SCHS) Fund accounts for the activities related to the housing assets assumed by the City as Housing Successor to the Redevelopment Agency. The activities are governed by Community Redevelopment Law and must be used to provide housing for people with low and moderate incomes.
The SCHS’s revenues were approximately $956 thousand in fiscal year 2023-24, a decrease of $248 thousand from the previous year. The decrease is primarily due to lower principal and interest payments received from the multi-family developer loans.
The SCHS’s expenditures totaled $5.9 million, an increase of $358 thousand or 6.4% compared to $5.6 million in fiscal year 2022-23. Of this amount, $5.4 million was attributed to the cost of transferring land held for development to capital assets. The general expenditures account for case management services offered to persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness, on-going administration, and labor cost related to developing land held for development of affordable housing and managing assets. In fiscal year 2023- 24, the general expenditures were $585 thousand, a decrease of $43 thousand or 6.8% from the previous year. The reduction was mainly due to lower spending on contractual services.
Non-Major Governmental Funds
These funds are not presented separately in the Basic Financial statements but are individually presented in the Supplemental Information section of this report.
Financial Analysis of Enterprise Funds
At the end of fiscal year 2023-24, the Enterprise Fund net position totaled $1.9 billion, reflecting an increase of $280 million or 17.1% compared to the prior fiscal year. The major contributor to this increase was the Electric Utility Fund, which shown a $222 million increase. The increase in the Electric Utility Fund can be attributed to a $97 million increase in the charges for services and a $80 million decrease in the resource purchase expenses.
In fiscal year 2023-24, the equity of the joint venture recognized a gain of $19 million, a significant increase from the $43 million loss recorded in the previous fiscal year. This increase of $62 million is mostly due to a $71 million increase in the equity associated with the San Jose Santa Clara Joint Wastewater Treatment Facility project in the Sewer Utility fund, offset by a $9 million decrease in the Electric Utility joint venture equity.
Excluding joint venture activity and net change in the fair value of investments, non-operating expenses in fiscal year 2023-24 were $16 million, a decrease of $1 million from the previous fiscal year.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
20 Electric Utility

Charges for Services revenues were $656 million in fiscal year 2023-24, an increase of $97 million, or 17.3% from fiscal year 22-23. The primary driver for this increase was a 5% rate increase effective July 1, 2023, a 10% rate increase effective January 1, 2024, and increased consumption.
Retail operating expenses reached $580 million in fiscal year 2023-244, a reduction from the $665 million in fiscal year 2022-23. The decrease of $75 million or 11% in the operating expenses were primarily attributed to the lower costs in the purchased resources due to decreased gas prices.
Revenues from wholesale resource operations was $11.5 million in the current fiscal year, a significant decrease from the $85 million recorded in fiscal year 2022-23. The decrease is mainly attribute to a $60 million gain recognized in the wholesale resources trading activities in fiscal year 2022-23 and lower future gas price. The costs related to wholesale resources purchases decreased to $10 million from $19 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in wholesale power in fiscal year 2032-24 was influenced by the lower gas price in resource market.
Interest revenues was $14 million in fiscal year 2023-24, up from $8 million recorded in fiscal year 2022-
23. This increase is primarily due to a higher interest rate environment. Interest expense was $2 million in the current year.

Sewer Utility
This fund accounts for the maintenance of the City’s sewer lines and related facilities. Operating revenues of the Sewer Utility were $45 million for fiscal year 2023-24 compared to $51 million in fiscal year 2023-
24. The additional revenue earned from the increase in sewer utility rates was offset by lower sewer conveyance fees for upsizing existing structures. Non-operating revenue was $4 million in the current year.
Operating expenses were $34 million in fiscal year 2023-24, compared to $33 million in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to higher salaries and benefits cost.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
21 The Sewer Utility Fund had a net position of $375 million at June 30, 2024. Of this amount, $33 million was net investment in capital assets, $273 million was restricted for joint venture capital projects and $69 million was unrestricted and other.

The net position at June 30, 2024 remains at $6 million.
Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority)
These funds account for the development and operation of Levi’s Stadium. As of March 31, 2024, the Stadium Authority recorded approximately $81 million in operating revenue, $9 million more than prior year. This was mainly due to increases in revenue from ticketed Non-NFL events, rents and licenses and NFL ticket surcharge. Operating expenses were $79 million, increasing $31 million from the prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to the 2024 Settlement Agreement, which resulted in an increase in buffet costs, performance-based rent and public safety costs over the threshold. Non-NFL event expenses also increased due to larger ticketed Non-NFL events. Net position at March 31, 2024 was $133 million, an increase of $21 million from the previous fiscal year.

On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (AB 26) that provided for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. On February 1, 2012 all redevelopment agencies in California were effectively dissolved. The Successor Agency for the Santa Clara Redevelopment Agency is currently in the process of winding down the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency.
See Notes 21 and 22 for further information on the Redevelopment Agency dissolution and Successor Agency activities.

Basic Financial Statements
27 CITY OF SANTA CLARA
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities summarize the entire City’s financial activities and financial position. They are prepared on the same basis as is used by most businesses, which means they include all the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources and all its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, as well as all its revenues and expenses. This is known as the full accrual basis—the effect of all the City’s transactions is taken into account, regardless of whether or when cash changes hands, but all material internal transactions between City funds have been eliminated.
The Statement of Net Position reports the excess of the City’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources over the City’s total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, including all the City’s capital assets and all its long-term debt. The Statement of Net Position presents similar information to the balance sheet format, but presents it in a way that focuses the reader on the composition of the City’s net position, by subtracting total liabilities and deferred inflows from total assets and deferred outflows.
The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of all the City’s Governmental Activities in a single column, and the financial position of all the City’s Business-Type Activities in a single column; these columns are followed by a total column that presents the financial position of the entire City.
The City’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects funds. Since the City’s Internal Service Funds service these Funds, their activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after eliminating interfund transactions and balances. The City’s Business-Type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the City’s net position. It is also prepared on the full accrual basis, which means it includes all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, regardless of when cash changes hands. This differs from the “modified accrual” basis used in the Fund financial statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues and measurable expenditures.
The format of the Statement of Activities presents the City’s expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with the expenses of its business-type activities. Program revenues—that is, revenues which are generated directly by these programs—are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net (expense) revenue of each governmental and business-type program. The City’s general revenues are then listed in the Governmental Activities or Business-Type Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
Both these Statements include the financial activities of the City, the Santa Clara Housing Authority, the Santa Clara Stadium Authority, the City of Santa Clara Sports and Open Space Authority, and the City of Santa Clara Public Facilities Financing Corporation, which are legally separate but are component units of the City.

37 TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCE $ 400,572,921
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Net Position are different from those reported in the Governmental Funds above because of the following:
CURRENT LIABILITIES
The assets and liabilities below are due and payable in less than one year and more than 90 days and therefore are not reported in the Funds:
Current portion of accrued compensated absences (excluding Internal Service Funds) (1,466,067) Interest payable (187,537)
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets used in Governmental Activities are not current assets or financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the Governmental Funds. 659,663,679 Right to use leases assets and SBITA assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and therefore are not reported in the funds. 9,275,002 INVESTMENT IN NON-BUSINESS-TYPE JOINT VENTURE 5,501,554
DEFERRED OUTFLOWS OF RESOURCES
OPEB related (excluding Internal Service Funds) 1,145,821 Pension related (excluding Internal Service Funds) 134,144,284
ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND NET POSITION
Internal Service Funds are not governmental funds. However, they are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as insurance and central services and maintenance, to individual governmental funds. The net current assets of the Internal Service Funds are therefore included in Governmental Activities in the following line items in the Statement of Net Position:
Cash and investments 51,345,425
Accounts receivable 474,093
Materials, supplies and prepaid 2,481,672
Deferred outflows OPEB related items 30,091

Deferred inflows OPEB related items (37,012)

41 CITY OF SANTA CLARA
AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS $ 31,668,299 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because of the following:
ACCRUAL OF CURRENT ITEMS
The amounts below included in the Statement of Activities do not provide or (require) the use of financial resources over 90 days and therefore are not reported as revenue or expenditures in governmental funds (net change):
Current portion of accrued compensated absences 286,299
CAPITAL ASSET TRANSACTIONS
Governmental Funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is capitalized and allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
The capital outlay expenditures are therefore added back to fund balance 34,422,541 Depreciation expense is deducted from the fund balance
(Depreciation expense is net of Internal Service Fund depreciation of $2,473,907 which has already been allocated to service funds.) (22,909,250) Retirements of capital assets (net of Internal Service Fund retirement of $30,107) (2,791) Contributions of infrastructure improvements by developers and equipment are capitalized in the Statement of Activities, but are not recorded in the Governmental Fund Statements because no cash changed hands. 4,060,168
JOINT VENTURES - PROFIT FROM EQUITY (334,939)
LONG TERM DEBT PROCEEDS AND PAYMENTS
Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position.
Issuance of SBITA liability is deducted from fund blance (2,078,197) Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but in the Statement of Net Position the repayment reduces long-term liabilities.
Repayment of debt principal is added back to fund balance 1,030,000 Amortization of bond premium 54,297
ACCRUAL OF NON-CURRENT ITEMS
The amounts below included in the Statement of Activities do not provide or (require) the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as revenue or expenditures in governmental funds (net change):
Provision for reserve of conditional grants (355,798)
Non-current portion of accrued compensated absences (1,752,208) Interest payable 21,458
Unavailable revenue 311,775
Lease related expense 73
SBITA related expense 2,042,054
OPEB related expense 1,488,654
Pension related expense (23,995,622)
ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ACTIVITY
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as equipment acquisition, maintenance, and insurance to individual funds.
The portion of the net revenue (expense) of these Internal Service Funds, arising out of their transactions with Governmental Funds, is reported with governmental activities, because they service those activities.

MAJOR PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Proprietary funds account for City operations financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise.

The City has identified the funds below as major proprietary funds in fiscal year 2023-24.
GAAP does not require the disclosure of budget versus actual comparisons regarding proprietary funds that are major funds.
ELECTRIC UTILITY FUND
This fund accounts for the operation of the City’s electric utility, a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user charge basis to residences and businesses.
WATER UTILITY FUND
This fund accounts for the operation of the City’s water utility, a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user charge basis to residences and businesses.
SEWER UTILITY FUND
The sewer utility fund accounts for the maintenance of the City’s sewer lines and related facilities. It is a selfsupporting activity that provides services on a user charge basis to residences and businesses.
WATER RECYCLING UTILITY FUND
This fund accounts for the ongoing maintenance and operations of the City’s waste water reclamation system.
It is a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user charge basis from the sale of non-potable water for irrigation and landscaping.
SANTA CLARA STADIUM AUTHORITY FUND
The Santa Clara Stadium Authority Fund was established in 2011 to provide for development and operation of Levi’s Stadium (home of the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers).

NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Basic Financial Statements
The City's Basic Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental 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 significant accounting policies are described below:
Government-wide Financial Statements: The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary activities. Interfund Services provided and used are allocated to governmental and business-type activities, as appropriate. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the City. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions.
Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City's governmental activities.
Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational needs of a particular program and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing the

NOTE 2 – FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
61 acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund categorygovernmental, proprietary, and fiduciary-are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as non-major funds, except for fiduciary funds.
Enterprise funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with an enterprise fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's enterprise funds are charges to customers for services. Operating expenses for the City's enterprise funds include the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
B. Major Funds
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets combined with deferred outflows of resources, liabilities combined with deferred inflows of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses equal to 10% of corresponding totals for all governmental or enterprise funds and at least 5% of the aggregate amount to all governmental and enterprise fund for the same item. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds. All other funds, called non-major funds, are combined, and reported in a single column, regardless of their fund-type.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
General Fund - This is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Santa Clara Housing Successor Fund - This fund accounts for the activities related to the housing assets assumed by the City as Housing Successor to the former Redevelopment Agency. The activities are governed by Community Redevelopment Law and must be used to provide housing for people with low and moderate incomes. Revenues received are primarily loan repayments on low income loans and investment earnings that are restricted for use on other low and moderate income housing loans and projects.
The City reported the following enterprise funds as major funds in the accompanying financial statements:
Electric Utility Fund - This fund accounts for the operation of the City's electric utility, a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user charge basis to residences and businesses.
Water Utility Fund - This fund accounts for the operation of the City's water utility, a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user charge basis to residences and businesses.
Sewer Utility Fund - This fund accounts for the maintenance of the City's sewer lines and related facilities. It is a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user charge basis to residences and businesses.

For the year ended June 30, 2024
NOTE 2 – FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
62 Water Recycling Utility Fund - This fund accounts for the ongoing maintenance and operations of the City's wastewater reclamation system. It is a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user charge basis from the sale of non-potable water for irrigation and landscaping.
Santa Clara Stadium Authority Fund - The Stadium Authority was established to provide for development and operation of Levi’s Stadium.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds - These funds account for maintenance of vehicles and communication equipment, information technology, public works capital project management, general liability, and workers' compensation claims, all of which are provided to other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Funds - These funds account for assets held by the City in trust for community or private organizations, or as an agent for its employees or for assessment districts without city commitment. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the City-wide financial statements, but are presented in separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements.
The Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clara (Successor Agency) was created to serve as a custodian for the assets and to wind down the affairs of the former RDA. The Successor Agency is a separate public entity from the City, subject to the direction of an Oversight Board. The Oversight Board is comprised of seven-member representatives from local government bodies: two County of Santa Clara (County) representatives; the Mayor of the City of Santa Clara; the County Superintendent of Education; the Chancellor of California Community Colleges; one Santa Clara Valley Water District representative; and one former RDA employee appointed by the Mayor. The City performs all accounting and administrative functions of the Successor Agency. The financial activities of the Successor Agency have been reported in the accompanying basic financial statements in the Private Purpose Trust Fund. See Notes 21 and 22 for information regarding the Successor Agency.
C. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide financial statements and the fund category, proprietary, and fiduciary fund category financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, including lease liabilities and subscription-based IT arrangement (SBITA) liabilities as well as claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions, including entering into contracts giving the City right to use leased assets and SBITA assets, are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt, financing through leases, and issuance of subscription liabilites are reported as other financing sources.

63 The City allocates certain indirect expenses incurred by the General Government activity to those activities that benefit from services received.
During the year ended June 30, 2024, the City implemented the following GASB Statements:
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. The provisions of this Statement were implemented during fiscal year 2024. The implementation required a change to the disclosure in Note 6.
The City is analyzing the effects of the following pronouncements and plans to adopt them by the effective dates:
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. The City is currently evaluating the impact on the financial statements.
The GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures. The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about risks related to a government’s vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2024. The City is currently evaluating the impact on the financial statements.
The GASB issued Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements. The objective of this Statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025. The City is currently evaluating the impact on the financial statements.
The GASB issued Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets. The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about certain types of capital assets. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025. The City is currently evaluating the impact on the financial statements.
D. 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 7).
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
CITY OF SANTA CLARA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2024
NOTE 2 – FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
64 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. Interfund Transactions and Balances
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided or services rendered. The related receivables and payables are classified as "due from other funds," and "due to other funds" in the fund financial statements. Long-term interfund receivables and payables are recorded as advances to/from other funds in the fund financial statements.
Transactions constituting reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are generally recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as revenue in the fund that is reimbursed.
Internal balances represent the net interfund receivables and payables remaining after the elimination of all such balances within governmental and business-type activities, and are reported only in the government-wide financial statements.
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 all departments of the City. The cost is recorded as an expenditure or expense in the appropriate fund at the time individual inventory items are withdrawn for use. The General Fund inventory amount is equally offset by a non-spendable fund balance, which indicates that it does not constitute available expendable resources.
G. Restricted Assets
Restricted assets are monies or other resources, the use of which is restricted by legal or contractual requirements.
H. Land Held for Development
The Santa Clara Housing Successor, through execution of an assignment and assumption agreement with the City and the former RDA has assumed responsibility for housing projects and parcels of land purchased to develop or redevelop blighted properties within the Redevelopment areas. Such land parcels are accounted for as investments on the balance sheet at the lower of cost or net realizable value or agreed-upon sales price if a disposition agreement has been made with a developer.
Individual parcels which have experienced other than temporary fair value decline are written down to estimated current market value. No appreciation is recorded if the current estimated net realizable value of an individual parcel exceeds cost.

65 I. Capital Assets
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available except for intangible right-to-use lease assets, the measurement of which is discussed in Note 2X below, and right-to-use subscription assets, the measurement of which is described in Note 2J below. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated acquisition value on the date contributed. The City's policy is to capitalize equipment and right-to-use leased equipment with costs exceeding $5,000, buildings, improvements and infrastructure with costs exceeding $20,000, and the right-to-use Subscription based IT Arrangement (SBITA) with costs exceeding $400,000.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Public domain (infrastructure) assets, which include roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, and traffic signals, have been capitalized and reported in the government-wide financial statements. Depreciation has been calculated on all capital assets, including infrastructure, the right-to-use leased buildings and equipment, and the right-to-use SBITA assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Useful Lives
Years
Capitalization
Threshold
Buildings and improvements 20-50 $ 20,000
Right-to-use leased buildings 20-50 20,000
Land improvements 20-50 20,000
Machinery and equipment 3-25 5,000
Right-to-use leased equipment 3-25 5,000
Right-to-use SBITA assets 3-25 400,000
Infrastructure 10-50 20,000
Some capital assets may be acquired using Federal and State grant funds, or they may be contributed by developers or other governments. These contributions are accounted for as revenues at the time the capital assets are contributed.
The costs 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 acquired under lease/purchase agreements are capitalized and accounted for in accordance with current accounting standards.
J. 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 exchangelike transaction.
CITY OF SANTA CLARA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2024
NOTE 2 – FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
66 At the commencement of a SBITA, the City 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. The City recognizes SBITA liabilities with an initial, individual value of $400,000 or more for all funds.
Key estimates and judgments related to SBITAs include how the City 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:
The City 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, the City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for subscription liabilities.
The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the subscription. Subscription payments included in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its subscription and will remeasure the subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability.
Subscription assets are reported with other capital assets and subscription liabilities are reported with liabilities on the statement of net position.
K. Joint Ventures
The City participates in several joint ventures. In accordance with GAAP investments in these joint ventures are accounted for on the equity method (see Note 12). If the City's equity in net losses of joint ventures exceeds its investment, use of the equity method is suspended except to the extent that the City is obligated to provide further financial support or has guaranteed obligations of the joint ventures.
The City 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.
L. 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 Governmental Activities portion of the
CITY OF SANTA CLARA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2024
NOTE 2 – FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
67 government-wide financial statements only. Vested or accumulated vacation leave and benefits of proprietary funds are recorded as an expense and liability of those funds as the benefits accrue to employees. Vacation time is earned based on length of service in amounts ranging between 10 and 24 days per year. City employees are allowed to carry over unused vacation earned. The maximum amount of time that can be carried over varies, depending on the employee's rate of accrual, with an upper limit of 400 hours for most employees.
Employees are paid for unused vacation and certain benefits upon separation from employment.
In accordance with GAAP a liability for sick leave and benefits is accrued using the vesting method. The vesting method provides that a governmental entity estimates its accrued sick leave liability based on the sick leave accumulated at the balance sheet date by those employees who currently are eligible to receive termination payments as well as other employees who are expected to become eligible in the future to receive such payments. Amounts of sick leave payments that are not expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources are reported in the Governmental Activities portion of the government-wide financial statements only. No expenditure is reported for these amounts in the governmental fund financial statements.
That portion of compensated absences that is unused reimbursable leave still outstanding following an employee's resignation or retirement at year end, is an expense and current liability to the respective fund(s) that an employee charges their time to.
The accrual for compensated absences comprised the following at June 30, 2024. The long-term portion of governmental activities compensated absences is liquidated primarily by the General Fund.

M. Risk Management
The City is self-insured up to $3 million to provide general liability protection. In addition to the City's selfinsurance, the City also maintains excess general liability with coverage up to $50 million.
The City is also self-insured up to $750,000 per claim for Workers' Compensation Claims. These selfinsurance programs are administered by outside agencies. The City also maintains excess workers' compensation insurance for workers' compensation claims over $750,000 per claim with coverage up to statutory limits with PRISM (formerly CSAC Excess Insurance Authority).
The City maintains property damage coverage through the Public Entity Property Insurance Program (APIP), which has a plan limit of $1 billion. The City maintains boiler and machinery property coverage of $100

68 million per occurrence in excess of self-insured amounts varying from $25,000 to $100,000 per occurrence.
No claims settlement amount exceeded the City's insurance coverage in the past fiscal years.
The City also maintains a Faithful Performance, Crime Coverage Bond with a plan limit of $20 million through PRISM.
The City also had property coverage specific to the electric power plants which has a plan limit of $250 million.
N. Long-Term Obligations
Long-term obligations are reported in the Governmental Activities portion of the government-wide financial statements. Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from proprietary fund operations are accounted for in those funds.
O. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City of Santa Clara, California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plan (Plan) and additions to and deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
P. Accounting for Encumbrances
The City utilizes an encumbrance system of accounting wherein encumbrances outstanding at year end, for which the goods or services have not been received, are not reported as expenditures, but are reported as a component of the fund balance category available for subsequent year expenditures based on the encumbered appropriation authority carried over to the next fiscal year. The City Charter requires recording encumbrances as a charge against appropriations in the accounting period in which a purchase order is issued, rather than in the accounting period when goods or services are received.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with GAAP, expenditures are recorded when the goods or services are received. Adjustments to convert expenditures from the modified accrual basis to the budgetary basis are reflected in the schedule of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances - budget and actual (non-GAAP legal basis) (see Note 3 and Required Supplementary Information).
Q. 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. The City has four items that qualify for reporting in this category: deferred outflows related to the derivative instruments, refunding of debt, pension, and OPEB.
CITY OF SANTA CLARA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2024
NOTE 2 – FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
69 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 the City reports deferred amounts related to derivative instruments, refunding of debt, leases and deferred amounts related to pension and OPEB.
R. Net Position and Fund Balance Equity
Fund balances and net position are reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. For governmental fund reporting, the City considers restricted fund balance to have been spent first when an expenditure is incurred, followed by committed, assigned and unassigned fund balances (in order of spending). For government-wide reporting, the City considers restricted net position to have been spent first when an expenditure is incurred, followed by unrestricted net position.
S. Bond Discounts/Premiums
In governmental funds, bond discounts and premiums are recognized in the current period. Bond discounts and premium for proprietary funds and entity-wide financial statements are deferred and amortized over the term of the bonds using the straight-line method of accounting.
T. Property Taxes
The State of California Constitution Article XIII A provides that the combined maximum tax rate on any given property may not exceed 1% of its assessed value except for voter approved incremental property taxes adopted prior to the passage of Article XIII A and any additional amount for general obligation debt approved by voters subsequent to the passage of Article XIII A.
Assessed value is calculated at 100% of market value as defined by Article XIII A and may be increased by no more than 2% per year unless there is a new construction on the property or the property is sold or transferred. The State Legislature has determined the method of distribution of receipts from the 1% tax levy among the counties, cities, school districts and other districts.
Santa Clara County (County) assesses properties and bills and collects property taxes on behalf of the City as follows:
Secured Unsecured
Valuation dates January 1 January 1
Lien/levy dates January 1 January 1
Due dates 50% on November 1, 50% on February 1 Upon receipt of billing Delinquent as of December 10 (for November), April 10 (for February)
August 31
The term "unsecured" refers to taxes on property not secured by liens on real property and generally includes business use personal property.

NOTE 2 – FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
70 The City participates in the Teeter Plan offered by the County whereby cities receive 100% of secured property tax levied in exchange for foregoing any interest and penalties collected on delinquent taxes.
Property taxes levied are recorded as revenue when received from the County. Property taxes expected to be collected within 60 days of the end of the fiscal year are recorded as revenue.
The City's net assessed valuation for the year ended June 30, 2024, was $61 billion, an increase of 7.0% compared to the previous year. The average tax rate was 1.17% per $100 of assessed valuation.
U. Contribution In-Lieu of Taxes
Contribution in lieu of taxes is a general revenue of the governmental funds. It is levied on receipts of the Cityowned and operated Electric Utility (Silicon Valley Power) in accordance with the City Charter. Non-City owned and operated electric utilities pay a franchise fee, which is also a governmental activities general revenue source.
V. Special Assessment Districts with City Commitment
Recognition of revenue related to noncurrent receivables of special assessment district funds is deferred until such receivables become current. There is no reserve for delinquent receivables since liens exist against the related properties and hence the City's management believes the City will ultimately receive value equal to the delinquent receivables. Surplus fund balances remaining at the completion of a special assessment district project are disposed of in accordance with City Council resolutions and with the applicable assessment bond laws of the State of California.
W. Income Taxes
The City falls under the purview of Internal Revenue Code, Section 115 and corresponding California Revenue and Taxation Code provisions. As such, it is not subject to federal or state income taxes.
X. 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 - The City is a lessee for noncancellable lease of equipment and buildings. The City recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right‐to‐use lease asset (lease asset) in the government‐wide financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City 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 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.

The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City 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 the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City 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 - The City is a lessor for noncancellable leases of land, building, and fiber optics. The City recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the government‐wide and governmental fund financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City 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 the City 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:
The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City 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. During the current fiscal year, the City has not engaged in any sublease transactions, sale-leaseback arrangements, or lease-leaseback agreements.

72 Y. Arbitrage Rebate Liability
Arbitrage rebate liabilities, if any, are included in accrued liabilities.
Z. Revenue Recognition
Electric, Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Fund revenues are recognized based on cycle billings periodically rendered to customers. Revenues for services provided, but not billed at the end of a fiscal year, are recognized and accrued based on estimated consumption.
Governmental Activities revenues subject to accrual include taxes, intergovernmental revenues, interest and charges for services.
AA. Non-exchange Transactions
The City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, including grants, entitlements, and donations. On the accrual basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or assessed. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
BB. Financial Instruments
Financial instruments included in the City's basic financial statements, excluding cash and investments, consisted of accounts receivable, accrued liabilities and bonds payable. The carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
CC. Conditional Grants
The City has several programs under which it extends loans to qualifying individuals or groups for the purpose of improving the City's housing stock and/or its supply of low-and moderate-income housing. Certain of these loans provide for the eventual forgiveness of the loan balance if the borrower complies with all the terms of the loan over its full term. The City accounts for these loans as conditional grants in the City-wide financial statements, and provides a reserve against their eventual forgiveness using the straight-line method over the life of the respective loan. As of June 30, 2024, conditional grants of $24,257,245 were offset by reserves of $10,035,548.
DD. Use of Estimates
The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the basic financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

73 EE. Vehicle Registration Fee
On November 2, 2010, Santa Clara County voters approved Measure B, which levies a $10 annual vehicle registration fee (VRF). The statue requires that fees collected be used only to pay for programs and projects that have a relationship or benefit to the owners of motor vehicles paying the fee and are consistent with the regional transportation plan. All revenue collected by Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, administrator of VRF are allocated on a population basis to cities in Santa Clara County. The City has committed and used the revenue from Measure B towards various street maintenance and traffic signal timing upgrade projects. The Vehicle Registration Fees are reported in the Streets and Highways Improvement Capital Projects Fund.

Ending Balance June 30, 2024 $ 3,536,465
NOTE 3 – BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
The budget of the City is a detailed operating plan that identifies estimated costs and activities in relation to estimated revenues. The budget includes: (1) the projects, services and activities to be provided during the fiscal year, (2) the estimated revenue available to finance the operating plan, and (3) the estimated spending requirements of the operating plan.
The budget process is the mechanism through which policy decisions are made, implemented and controlled.
The City Charter requires that the City establish a budgetary system for general operations and prohibits expending funds for which there is no legal appropriation. The City is required to adopt a budget on or before June 30 for the ensuing fiscal year that begins July 1. Activities of the General Fund, the Santa Clara Housing Successor, and the Maintenance Special Revenue Funds are included in the annual appropriated operating budget. The procedures followed to establish the budgetary data reflected in the accompanying required supplementary information to the basic financial statements are as follows:
1. The City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. This includes a Five-Year Financial Plan to aid in the planning and funding of operations and capital projects over the next five years.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain public comments.

NOTE 3 – BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING (continued)
74 3. The operating and capital budgets are legally enacted through the passage of a minute order.
From the effective date of the budget, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures become appropriations to the applicable governmental funds. The City Council may amend the budget by motion during the fiscal year. The legal appropriation control is established at the department level in each fund. For select funds where expenditures are not allocated to a specific department, the appropriation control is established at the fund level. Transfers of funding between budgetary funds require City Council appropriation and approval. City Council approval is required for a budget amendment during the fiscal year which may include the use of reserves or fund balances, and approval of appropriations of grant monies. Per Article XIII, Section 1305 of the City Charter, appropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year; therefore, unencumbered funds allocated for specific projects, donations, and grants require City Council appropriation for use in the following fiscal year.
Budgetary transfers between accounts or expenditure category may be done through Finance Department or City Manager’s Office approval as long as they are conducted within the legal appropriation control limit set by the City Council.
Budget information is presented on a non-GAAP budgetary basis. Budgeted revenue amounts represent the original budget modified by adjustments authorized during the year. Budgeted expenditure amounts represent original appropriations adjusted for supplemental appropriations and transfers during the year. Budget amounts in the schedules of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances-budget and actual, include supplemental appropriations approved by the City Council during the year.
For the actual GAAP basis financial statements, encumbered appropriations are not reported as expenditures, but are reported as a reservation of fund balance available for subsequent year expenditures, based on the encumbered appropriation authority carried over to the next fiscal year.
In addition to the annual Operating Budget, each year the City Council adopts a project length Capital Improvement Project budget biennially.
NOTE 4 – LEASE AGREEMENTS
In June 2017, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 87, Leases. GASB Statement No. 87 (GASB 87) increases the usefulness of governmental financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for all leases, including those that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as income by lessors and expenditures by lessees. GASB 87 replaces the previous lease accounting methodology and establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are a financing of the right to use an underlying asset.
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. 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. The provisions of this Statement were implemented during fiscal year 2021-22.

A discussion of the most significant leases follows:
A. Peddler’s Plaza and Commerce Plaza Leases
During the current fiscal year, the City began leasing the two properties located at 1000 Lafayette Street, known as Peddler’s Plaza, and 900 Lafayette Street, known as Commerce Plaza. In 1971, the City entered long-term ground leases which expired in September 2021 and April 2022 respectively. These two properties have been long discussed as integral components of a long-term vision for rebuilding downtown. The planning process on a specific plan for downtown is not complete and it will be several more years before any redevelopment of the properties could begin to occur. The two buildings are occupied, and it would be beneficial to the City if there is ongoing occupancy of the structures.
The City extended their respective current leases under generally the same terms for a limited period (up to two years) to allow time for the City and its new management company to transition into their new roles. The City recognized $27,768 in lease revenue and $16 in interest revenue for Peddler’s Plaza, $1,397,335 in lease revenue and $2,198 in interest revenue for Commerce Plaza, during the current fiscal year related to these two leases.
Both leases expired in May 2024 and were not extended beyond twelve months. As of June 30, 2024, the City’s receivable for lease payments and the deferred inflow of resources associated with leases are zero.
B. Irvine Company Ground Leases
Irvine Company Disposition and Development Agreement With Ground Lease (DDA) for Office Park Development
In April 2000, the former RDA entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with Ground Lease with The Irvine Company (Developer) for development of the site as an office/R&D complex. The DDA contemplated the former RDA obtaining title to the entire property from the City prior to entering into ground leases with the Developer. The site is subdivided into three parcels to accommodate the phased

76 development of the project. Only Parcel 2 was conveyed to the former RDA. Parcels 1 & 3 were always held by the City and not subject to terms of the subsequent RDA dissolution.
In March 2006, the DDA and the Ground Lease were amended to update the status of conditions precedent; amend the schedule of performance; and clarify terms and conditions relating to Parcel 1 and Parcel 3. In October 2012, the City entered into two ground leases with the Irvine Company for Parcels 1 and 3. The term of both leases is 80 years after the effective date of October 31, 2012, and therefore both leases shall expire on October 31, 2092. The rent commencement date is November 1, 2012. Under the terms of the leases the City will receive specified amounts for minimum rent subject to certain events or time periods and then inflationary adjustments at times specified in the leases. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City recognized $1,313,233 in lease revenue and $2,106,631 in interest revenue for Parcel 1 and $633,168 in lease revenue and $1,015,700 in interest revenue for Parcel 3. As of June 30, 2024, the City’s receivable for lease payments for Parcel 1 was $91,882,951 and the balance of the deferred inflows of resources was $89,737,617. The City’s receivable for lease payments for Parcel 3 was $44,300,828 and the balance of the deferred inflows of resources was $43,266,468.
C. City Leases Pursuant to the Terms of the January 8, 2016 Settlement Agreement On March 8, 2011, the City and the former RDA adopted resolutions authorizing the execution of property conveyance agreements for the conveyance of certain real property owned by the former RDA. The agreements conveyed the properties subject to existing leases to the City. Properties included California’s Great America Theme Park, Techmart, Hyatt Regency, and Hilton Hotel.
The actions taken by the former RDA related to the asset transfers were validly authorized and conformed with the requirements of the Community Redevelopment Law as it existed at the time of the actions. Pursuant to ABx1 26, the Redevelopment Dissolution Law, the State Controller’s Office is to review any asset transfers that occurred between a redevelopment agency and any other public agency after January 1, 2011 and if the assets have not been contractually committed to a third party and to the extent allowed by state and federal law, the Controller, after completing its review is to order the return of the assets to the Successor Agency.
The Successor Agency received a Controller’s order on September 10, 2013 ordering the City to transfer the assets back to the Successor Agency. The validity of that order was the subject of litigation in Sacramento Superior Court (Sharma vs. City of Santa Clara). Additionally, on July 26, 2013, the Court granted the County of Santa Clara, the Santa Clara Unified School District, and the Santa Clara County Office of Education (Petitioners) motion for a preliminary injunction (temporary restraining order), restricting the City from selling, transferring, encumbering, spending, or otherwise depleting or wasting any real property interests received from the former RDA.
On January 8, 2016 the City executed a Settlement Agreement in Sharma vs the City of Santa Clara. This Settlement Agreement calls for the City to return to the Successor Agency certain properties that the former Redevelopment Agency transferred to the City prior to dissolution. The properties returned are as follows:
The Great America Theme Park Property, the Hilton Hotel Property, the North/South Parking Lots, the Gateway Parcel 2 Property, the Hyatt Hotel Property, The Techmart Property, and the Martinson Childcare Center Property. The Settlement Agreement requires the City to forego the long-term lease revenues generated by the properties. Lease revenues collected from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2016 have been passed on to the Successor Agency. Additional information concerning the Settlement Agreement can be found in Note 22.

For the year ended March 31, 2024, ManagementCo charged the SCSA $8.6 million in Shared Expenses, and $8.5 million in Other Operating and Management Expenses.
C. Ground Lease
On February 28, 2012, the SCSA entered into a lease (the Ground Lease) with the City whereby the City leases the Stadium site to the SCSA. The Ground Lease was amended on June 19, 2013.
The Ground Lease has an initial term of 40 years. The first lease year commenced on the first day following the substantial completion of construction (August 1, 2014) and ended on the next following March 31st. The subsequent lease years will start on April 1st and end on the following March 31st. The SCSA will have five successive extension options, each four years in duration, which would commence following the initial term expiration date.
The Ground Lease provides that the City will receive a fixed ground rent (Fixed Ground Rent) of $180 thousand for the first year of Stadium operations payable by the SCSA. Beginning in the second year of Stadium operations and annually thereafter through the tenth year of Stadium operations, the Fixed Ground Rent will increase annually by $35 thousand. Beginning in the 11th year of Stadium operations, Fixed Ground Rent will be increased to equal $1 million, and thereafter will be increased by $100 thousand every five years through the end of the initial term of the Ground Lease. If the term of the Ground Lease is extended, then, during the first extension term, the Fixed Ground Rent will equal $1.58 million; and if and to the extent the Ground Lease is further extended, the Fixed Ground Rent will be increased by $80 thousand every four years thereafter through the expiration of the term of the Ground Lease. The SCSA paid the City $495 thousand in ground rent in fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
The Ground Lease also provides that the City will receive a performance-based rent equal to 50% of the net income from non-NFL events, less certain credits including 50% of the Fixed Ground Rent, payable by the SCSA. If certain of the credits are not used within the year incurred or the next five succeeding years, the credits will expire. The SCSA reported a net Non-NFL event profit of $8.8 million and $8.3 million for fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, which triggers the performance-based rent. However, in the prior fiscal year the Stadium Authority did not pay the City any performance-based rent because there remained disputes and pending arbitration with StadCo as to potential credits that needed to be deducted from a performancebased rent amount due public safety costs in excess of a disputed threshold. The 2024 Settlement Agreement will resolve those disputes. The $7.3 million in performance-based rent due to the City for both fiscal years were accrued in fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. However, the payment to the City will not occur until the Final Effective Date of the 2024 Settlement Agreement. More details on the litigation are included in Note 20E.
The following schedule summarizes the minimum future payments due under this lease:

The Stadium Lease has an initial term of 40 years commencing on the first day following the substantial completion of construction (August 1, 2014) and includes five successive options to extend the term by four years each. The Stadium Lease is divided into two seasons:
the Tenant Season, which includes the NFL season (including preseason, regular season and postseason NFL games) and runs from August 1 through January 31; and the SCSA Season, which runs from February 1 through July 31.
Pursuant to the Stadium Lease, the SCSA and StadCo will be entitled to receive and collect separate revenues.
Initially, rent payable by StadCo to the SCSA was $24.5 million per year. This amount was established pursuant to the Stadium Lease in connection with the take-out financing, which occurred on June 19, 2013.
The Stadium Lease allowed for one opportunity to adjust the rent if operating or debt service expenses are either more or less than projected in determining the initial rent. Based on the changes to the projected operating and debt service expenses, the provisions for a one-time rent adjustment were triggered. At the SCSA Board (Board) meeting held on March 22, 2016, the Board decided not to adjust the rent, and instead passed a motion to pursue the informal dispute resolution procedures and to proceed to the arbitration process if necessary.
Thereafter, on May 3, 2016 StadCo filed for arbitration with the SCSA.
On June 18, 2018, the arbitrator entered an Arbitration Award in favor of the SCSA and against StadCo. This award adjusted the facility rent from $24.5 million to $24.76 million, an increase of $262 thousand. This increase is retroactive to the first lease year resulting in a total amount owed to the SCSA of $1.31 million for the first five lease years, through March 31, 2020. In addition to the adjustment to the facility rent, the SCSA was entitled to reimbursement of its legal fees, determined by the arbitrator to be $2.28 million. The lease also provides for a fair market rent adjustment in year 33.
The SCSA received $24.8 million in stadium rent from StadCo for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024.

83 The SCSA may elect to expand the Tenant Season to consist of the entire lease year, from April 1 through the next succeeding March 31 (Stadium Authority Put Right), by delivering written notice to StadCo. The SCSA Put Right may be exercised at any time during lease year 13, or at any time that the Management Company Revolving Loan balance exceeds $20 million. The expansion of the Tenant Season will be effective as of the applicable Tenant Season Expansion Date as set forth in the Stadium Lease. Effective from and after the Tenant Season Expansion Date, and continuing through the remainder of the Stadium Lease term, the Tenant Season will consist of the entire lease year. Refer to the Stadium Authority Financial Statements, Note 10.
E. Prior Year Correction
During the financial reporting process for March 31, 2024, the Stadium Authority reviewed the accounting and reporting for the GASB 87, Leases, implementation for the ground lease and the stadium lease as of April 1, 2022 and identified errors related to the accumulated deferred rent liability and interest expense and interest revenue calculations as of March 31, 2023. The Stadium Authority determined these to be immaterial corrections of prior year errors and has revised the March 31, 2023 applicable accounts. The beginning net position for fiscal year 2023-24 was increased by $8.7 million from $111.5 million to $120.3 million.

The SCSA implemented GASB 87, Leases, during the year ended March 31, 2023. The SCSA is a lessee for the Ground Lease with the City and is required to recognize the lease liability and intangible right-to-use lease asset in the statement of net position in its financial statements. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the SCSA recognized $29.3 million in lease liability, $27.1 million in intangible right-to-use lease asset and $774 thousand in interest payable in the statement of net position, and $495 thousand in leases expenses, $798 thousand in depreciation expense and $652 thousand in interest expense in the statements of revenues, expenses, and change in net position for the Ground Lease. The GASB 87 reporting requirement for the Ground Lease does not apply at the Citywide financial statements level. As a result, SCSA Enterprise Fund has been restated in the proprietary major fund statements. The right-to-use lease asset, lease liability and interest payable related to the Ground Lease were eliminated in statement of net position and the net impact in the unrestricted net position is $3.0 million. The related lease revenue, depreciation expense and interest expense were also eliminated in the statements of revenues, expenses, and change in net position and the net impact in net position is $955 thousand.
G. Subsequent Event
On May 23, 2024, the Stadium Authority, the City, StadCo, and ManagementCo entered into the 2024 Settlement Agreement that resolved pending arbitration and disputes regarding the complementary SBL buffet costs and NFL public safety cost arbitration, as well as other miscellaneous terms and matters. The 2024 Settlement Agreement includes amendments to the Ground Lease and Stadium Lease. Those lease amendments, which have already been signed and approved by Stadium Authority Board, City Council, StadCo, and ManagementCo, need to be approved by the NFL and the Lenders. Once the NFL and Lenders approve the lease amendments, the 2024 Settlement Agreement will have a Final Effective Date, and the settlement terms can be implemented. To date, the NFL has approved the lease amendments. As part of the settlement, the Stadium Authority agreed to recognize the $902 thousand complimentary SBL buffet expense for fiscal year 2021-22 and $14.7 million of NFL public safety costs over the threshold for fiscal years 2017- 18 through 2023-24. The settlement of the NFL public safety cost disputes will also allow for the payment of

The City’s investment strategy is to invest cash not required for current obligations in U.S. government securities, federal government agency securities, highly rated money market instruments and other investments in accordance with the City’s investment policy for a maximum term of five years for the General Fund portfolio. The City Council has authorized the purchase of securities with maturities greater than five years, specifically for the Electric Cost Reduction Account. This strategy allows the City to minimize its exposure to credit, market, and liquidity risk while maintaining a reasonable return on its portfolio.
The City’s investment policy, in compliance with the City of Santa Clara Charter, Article IX, Section 904 (d) and (h), and the California Government Code authorizes the City to invest in securities that are consistent with the City’s cash management strategy and long-term goals and objectives. The City is authorized to invest in the following types of instruments, and the table also identifies certain provisions of the California Government Code, or the City’s investment policy where it is more restrictive:

C. Investments with Fiscal Agents
The City invests bond proceeds restricted for construction in instruments that are stated in the Investment Policy and in various return-guaranteed investment agreements. These investments are invested in accordance
CITY OF SANTA CLARA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2024
NOTE 7 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (continued)
88 with bond indentures and the maturities of each investment should not exceed the final maturity of each bond.
Bond proceeds investments are reported monthly to the City Council.
The City 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 the City 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.
Electric Reserve Fund bond proceeds restricted for construction projects are invested and held by the trustee as fiscal agent investments. All funds have been invested as permitted under the Code. These investments are usually scheduled to mature when cash is needed to fulfill the requirements of the underlying bond and trust agreements.
The City also invests funds in the Bentzien Trust in accordance with the investment policy of the Trust that allows investment in cash and short-term investments (up to 20%), fixed income investments including U.S.
Government, U.S. Government Agency, Asset and Mortgage Backed securities, debt issued by U.S.
Corporations and fixed income mutual funds (30% to 60% of portfolio’s aggregate fair value), and equity securities or mutual funds (40% to 70% of portfolio’s aggregate fair value). Investments in U.S. Corporate debt shall be limited to an amount per issuer not to exceed 10% of the aggregate fair value of the portfolio, and upon initial purchase by the Adviser, must be of investment grade as rated by Moody’s and/or Standard and Poor’s rating services. The maximum maturity of an individual bond shall not exceed fifteen years and the average maturity shall not exceed ten years. Individual equity purchases shall have an equivalent securities rating of B- or better. Individual equity purchases shall not exceed five percent of the portfolio’s aggregate fair value.
D. 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.
E. Interest Rate, Credit Risks and Fair Value Measurement Interest rate risk is the risk that an investment’s value will be adversely affected by a change in interest rates.
In general, the longer the time to maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. To reduce interest rate risk, the City diversifies the portfolio into a wide range of investments with different maturities, and maintains a reasonable average maturity of less than three years.
This approach significantly mitigates adverse market volatility and maximizes returns.

89 The average maturity of the City’s pooled investment portfolio at June 30, 2024 was approximately 2.13 years and the City has the ability to and generally intends to hold all investments to maturity. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City's investments (including investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided in the investment table that shows the distribution of the City's investments by maturity.
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment.
Credit risk is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

The City accounts for investments in accordance with GAAP, which requires governmental entities to report certain investments at fair value based on quoted market information obtained from recognized sources. The City has reported its investments at fair value with the exception of its share of external investment pools and mutual funds, the carrying value of which approximates fair value. In determining the change in fair value of its investments, the City used an aggregate method of calculation.
The City 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.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2024
NOTE 7 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (continued)
93 Bentzien Trust investment in stocks and U.S. Treasuries are valued using prices quoted in active markets for those securities. All other Bentzien Trust debt securities are valued using a Market Approach methodology by Standard & Poor’s Securities Evaluation Inc. The Market Approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities.
Level 1 investments are valued using a marketable actively traded assets closing price for identical assets.
Level 2 investments are determined by using quoted prices for similar assets.
F. Concentration of Credit Risk
None of the investments in the securities of any individual issuers is greater than 5% of total Citywide investments.
G. 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 thirdparty custodian.
H. Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations The City has no investments that are highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations to a greater degree than already disclosed in the Interest Rate Risk Section above.
I. Local Agency Investment Fund
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.

94 J. California Asset Management Program
The City, as a CAMP shareholder, participates in both the CAMP Pool Portfolio and the CAMP Term Portfolio.
The CAMP Pool is fully liquid, stable net asset value (NAV) investment option with a competitive yield, while the CAMP Term is a fixed-rate, fixed term investment option that offers securities with maturities ranging from 60 days to one year. Investment principal and interest in the CAMP Term account are paid at maturity, with an automatic sweep into the CAMP Pool account. The CAMP Pool is managed to maintain a dollarweighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less and seeks to maintain a constant NAV per share of $1.00. The CAMP Pool invests in obligations of the United States Government and its agencies, high-quality, short-term debt obligations of U.S. companies and financial institutions. The CAMP Term investments are based on a pool of open-market securities similar to those in the CAMP Pool. The investments are matched to the amount invested and maturities selected by the Shareholder.
The City may withdraw all or any portion of the funds in the CAMP Pool account at any time by redeeming shares. The City may withdraw all or a portion of the funds in the CAMP Term account in $10,000 increments prior to maturity, but there is a premature redemption penalty.
The CAMP Declaration of Trust permits the CAMP trustee to suspend the right of withdrawal from CAMP or to postpone the date of payment of redemption proceeds if the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than for customary weekend and holiday closings, if trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted, or if, in the opinion of the CAMP trustees, an emergency exists such that disposal of the CAMP pool securities or determination of its net asset value is not reasonably practicable. If the right of withdrawal is suspended, the City may either withdraw its request for that withdrawal or receive payment based on the net asset value of the CAMP pool next determined after termination of the suspension of the right of withdrawal. At June 30, 2024, the fair value approximated the City’s cost. At June 30, 2024, the CAMP Pool investments had an average maturity of 38 days.

D. Derivative Instruments
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. For the reporting period, all of SVP’s derivatives meet the hedge effectiveness tests defined by GAAP.
Notional Amounts and Fair Values- SVP 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 stabilize pricing and hedges 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, 2024 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. In order 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, 2024, $12.0 million of SVP’s open derivative power and gas contracts were in an asset position, and the fair values of those open contracts were positive. $8 thousand of SVP’s open derivative power contracts were in a liability position, and the fair values of those open contracts were negative. The open contract was with ADM Investor Service, Inc., a clearing member of ICE and a company of Archer Daniels Midland Company who was rated A by Standard & Poor’s as of June 30, 2024.
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. At June 30,
CITY OF SANTA CLARA

2024, SVP had posted collateral of $9,449,807 deposited with CAISO and Archer Daniels Midland Company for resource energy trading.
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.

NOTE 11 – SOLID WASTE LANDFILL CLOSURE
The City of Santa Clara All Purpose Landfill (Landfill) was closed in September 1993. Federal and state laws and regulations require closure activities such as removal of landfill structures, decommissioning of environmental control systems, site security, and final cover construction and postclosure care such as ongoing monitoring of environmental impact. The City's postclosure plan (Plan) accepted by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, which is now the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), addresses all the attendant issues. Based on the Plan and pertaining laws and regulations, an estimated Landfill Postclosure Care Cost Obligation is recorded and updated annually. The postclosure care liability is accrued in the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund in accordance with GAAP. This obligation is payable from solid waste user fees.
The City also has a Pledge of Revenue Agreement establishing financial assurance for postclosure maintenance of the Landfill with CalRecycle, which was adopted on October 12, 1999. Financial assurance in the amount of $600,000 will be maintained in a separate account. In addition, the agreement requires funds to be pledged annually for post-closure maintenance and corrective action costs.
The City has pledged $271,650 for postclosure maintenance expenses and $537,133 for corrective action in 2024-25. These amounts are subject to annual inflation factors, as stipulated by CalRecycle.
At June 30, 2024, a liability in the amount of $6,713,426 was reported based on the estimated remaining postclosure care costs to meet the regulatory requirements. During fiscal year 2024, the City incurred postclosure expenses of $1,274,027 and increased the liability by $1,855,417 based on revised estimates of future costs. The estimated liability is based on the amount that would be paid if all equipment, facilities, and services required to monitor and maintain the landfill were acquired as of June 30, 2024. However, the actual cost of postclosure care and corrective action may be higher or lower due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in landfill laws and regulations.
