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

vi

The independent audit of the financial statements o f the City was part of a broader, federally mandate d “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs o f federal grantor agencies. The standards governin g Single Audit engagements require that agencies expe nding 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 a nd 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 Finan cial 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, C alifornia, 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, c omputer, 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 indic ating 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 s ervices include police, fire protection and emergen cy dispatch; electric, water, and sanitary sewer servi ces; the construction and maintenance of streets an d 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 fisca l 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 t o 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 one- time reserves, expenditure reductions, and new reve nues. As the City looks ahead, the City Council amended a balanced fiscal year 2024-25 Operating Bu dget 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 ci ty infrastructure over the next five-years. A workplan considering several options of new revenues is underway including a $400 million General Obligatio n 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 F inancial Forecast. The purpose of the Forecast is t o provide policy-makers and the public an updated ass essment of the City’s fiscal health that takes into account the latest economic developments. The repor t includes historical perspective on revenues and expenditures and a ten-year financial outlook beyon d 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 depa rtments. 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 i s 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 Stabil ization 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-tim e 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 ar e not factored into the Forecast, the City has iden tified 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 imp roved 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 an d fiscal year 2026-27. The out-years of the forecas t 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 imbal ance, impacts from the pandemic, and significant recovery has been achieved. As we look ahead, addit ional 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 estab lishing 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 financi al 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 concep t 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 maintai ns budgetary controls. The objective of these budge tary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisi ons embodied in the annually appropriated budget approved by the City Council. In addition, a two-ye ar 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 yea r. 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 betw een budgetary funds require City Council appropriation and approval. City Council approval is required for a budget amendment during the fiscal year which may i nclude 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 m arket 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 th e 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 adop t a two-year capital investment plan that focuses o n our capital infrastructure, supporting the faciliti es that serve our residents and community. The Bien nial fiscal year 2024-25 and 2025-26 Capital Budget tota ls $928 million and the Five-Year CIP totals $1.33 billion, supporting infrastructure improvements thr oughout the City. Of this CIP amount, $1.1 billion (83%) funds capital projects for the City’s utiliti es and there is sufficient funding in the associate d 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 unfunde d projects identified in this budget total $626 mil lion over the next five years. This funding gap does not fully represent all the unmet/deferred infrastruct ure 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 stra tegy adopted as part of the fiscal year 2024-25 and 2025-26 biennial budget remains in place. The use o f 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 im pacts to the community. It has also allowed time fo r 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 under way, it is important to note that changes in the of fice environment due to new remote-work trends has cause d some pause to activity as developers reassess demand for commercial projects. Furthermore, the re cent continuation of elevated inflation impacts to construction costs and high interest rates resultin g 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 wi ll be required. Below are highlights of a few of t he 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, en tertainment venues, hotels, retail, and office spac e 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 u nits, 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 ac res 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 d evelopment within a portion of the Downtown Focus Area. Following an initial community engagement eff ort, three land use scenarios/conceptual plans have been developed. Additional review and testing of th e land use/design options, a larger context study t o understand compatibility and competition from other large development projects, and an El Camino Real intersection study to understand multi modal connec tivity 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 spac e with 10 parking spaces and a two-acre public park.

Gateway Crossing Mixed Use Project
Developed by Hunter/Storm, this project currently u nder 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 park ing 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 amendm ent 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 1 970s office parks several existing office parks int o a cohesive, high-density mixed-use community that fos ters 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 p ublic right-of-way) located in close proximity to t he Caltrain Lawrence Station serving the communities of Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. The Plan creates a lively neighborhood that accommodates up to 3,500 resident ial dwelling units, roughly 100,000 square feet of neighborhood oriented and convenience retail, and a pproximately 6.3 acres of public open space in conjunction with various outdoor recreational facil ities 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 build- out of this plan is underway. Associated infrastructure improvements were completed, including an internal road network comprised of public and private street s, 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 Dri ve 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 d evelopment of a high-density and transit-oriented neighborhood (currently proposed to be up to 100 Dw elling units per acre), along with supportive retai l services. The specific plan will lay out allowed us es, 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 c urrently exploring ways to provide additional dedicated parkland as a part of the Amendment.

FINANCIAL POLICIES
The City has adopted a comprehensive set of financi al 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 prestigi ous national award, recognizing conformance with the hi ghest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports and is valid for a per iod of one year only. The City has received this prestigious award for the past thirty two consecutive years.

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
W
e have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remain ing fund information of the City of Santa Clara, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 20 24, 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 bo th 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 fina ncial statements of Northern California Power Agency (NCPA), Transmission Agency of Northern California (T ANC), M-S-R Energy Authority (MSR EA), M-S-R Public Power Agency (MSR PPA), and San Jose-San ta 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 to tal assets, net position and revenues of the business-type activities.

The financial statements of the NCPA, TANC, MS R 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 prin ciples generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing sta ndards 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 Stat es. 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 inde pendent 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 Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fa ir presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accep ted 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 da te, 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 ab out 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 conduc ted 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 re sulting 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 cons idered 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 misstate ment of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures respon sive to those risks. Suc h
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 a udit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumst ances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s intern al control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policie s used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by ma nagement, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are cond itions 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 au dit 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 a nd as a result, the Santa Clara Stadium Authority Enterprise Fund net position has been restated to reflect the eliminat ion and reclassification of that transaction for reporting in th e 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 statem ents. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic fina ncial 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 th e 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 res ponsibility 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 pro cedures 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 a nd Statistical Section listed in th e 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 betw een 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 uncorrect ed 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, regulat ions, 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 financ ial 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.

anagement’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 unrestrict ed (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 p eriod 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 decreas ed 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 financia l 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, bas ic 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, repor ting 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 Act ivities 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 use r 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 Autho rity) 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 t hat, although legally separate, are important because th ey are blended component units of the City. These component units are the Santa Clara Stadium Authori ty, City of Santa Clara Sports and Open Space Authority, the Santa Clara Housing Authority, and t he 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 i ndividually, 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 pr esent the primary activities of the City for the ye ar 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 informatio n helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near f uture 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 Fina ncial 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 t o facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

Proprietary Funds : Enterprise and Internal Service Fund Financial S tatements 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. T he 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 goo ds and services only to the City’s governmental and business-type activities, their activities are only reported at the fund level. Internal Service Fund s cannot be considered major funds because their revenues ar e derived from other City funds. Revenues between funds are eliminated in the Government-wide Financi al Statements and any related profits or losses are

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

8 returned to the activities in which they were creat ed, along with any residual net position of the Int ernal 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 Stateme nt of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. These activities are excluded from the City’s Financial S tatements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its own operations.

Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is ne cessary 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 a ccompanying notes, this report also presents requir ed supplementary information. This information include s 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 imm ediately 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 business- type 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 asset s (e.g., land, infrastructure, buildings, machinery and equi pment, 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 ass ets is reported net of related debt, the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sour ces 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 se rvices 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 El ectric 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

13 The following analysis presents a comparison of fis cal year 2023-24 and fiscal year 2022-23 by the tot al cost and net cost of each of the City’s largest programs. Net cost is defined as total program cost less the revenues generated by those specific activities. I t is common to see Governmental Activities as net c ost generators, wherein costs of governmental activities are greater than the revenues they generate.

Table 3
Governmental Activities
(in millions)

In fiscal year 2023-24, the total cost of services increased by $18 million, while the net cost of ser vices decreased $8 million compared to the previous year.

The increase in the total cost of services is large ly driven by a $17 million rise in the Public Safet y costs during fiscal year 2023-24. This growth is primaril y attributed to a $11 million rise in CalPERS Safet y 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 serv ices decreased by $11 million from the previous yea r, dropping to $15 million in fiscal year 2023-24, mainly due to a $10 million increase in grants received from other agencies.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

14 Business-type Activities
The following analysis provides the total costs and net costs of each of the City’s enterprise funds. Net cost is defined as total program cost less the revenues generated by each enterprise fund.

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 d ecreased by $75 million to $584 million in fiscal y ear 2023-24. The decrease was driven by lower expenses for resource purchases. The net cost of services i n the Electric Utility Fund is at negative $200 milli on, 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 fo r services as a result of two phases of rate increases during the fiscal year.

The cost of services in the Sewer Utility Fund decr eased by $50 million to $36 million. This reduction is primarily attributed to the prior year’s recognitio n of a $52 million equity loss in the sewer joint p roject 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 demonst rate 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 r epresent 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 rep orted 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 t ax 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 incre ase 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, o r a

7.2% growth from the previous year. This increase c an 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, compa red 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 fis cal 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 i s 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 h igher interest rates and the addition of three new long- term 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 en cumbrances, 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 increas e 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 Gene ral 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, whic h commits resources to the accomplishment of City Council goals and objectives. During the fiscal ye ar, the City Council took action to amend the adopt ed General Fund budget. A summary of the budgetary comparison schedule for the General Fund, located in the required supplementary information following th e notes to the financial statements, is shown in th e following table:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

18 Original Budget Compared to Final Budget
Original Final
Budgeted Budgeted Net
Amount Amount Change
Revenues $ 272 $ 281 $ 9
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 h igher than anticipated revenues from events at Levi’s stadium and ambulance transportation, a $1 m illion 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 asso ciated 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 pr imarily 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, a nd 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 thousan d in fiscal year 2023-24, a decrease of $248 thousand from the previous year. The decrease is pr imarily due to lower principal and interest payment s received from the multi-family developer loans.

The SCHS’s expenditures totaled $5.9 million, an in crease 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 affordab le 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 i ncrease. 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.

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-

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 Positi on presents similar information to the balance shee t format, but presents it in a way that focuses the r eader 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 acti vities of its General Fund, along with all its Spec ial Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects funds. Since the City’s Internal Service Funds service the se Funds, their activities are consolidated with Gover nmental 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, regardle ss of when cash changes hands. This differs from the “mod ified accrual” basis used in the Fund financial statements, which reflect only current assets, curr ent 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 activi ties. Program revenues—that is, revenues which are generated directly by these programs—are then deduc ted 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 activit ies 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.

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 r educes 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.

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 (t he 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-t ype activities of the City. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernme ntal 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 b etween direct expenses and program revenues for eac h 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 co ntributions that are restricted to meeting the oper ational 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, i ncluding 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 uni ts. Separate statements for each fund category- governmental, 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 ente rprise funds are charges to customers for services. Opera ting expenses for the City's enterprise funds inclu de the costs of sales and services, administrative expense s, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.

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-support ing activity that provides services on a user charg e basis from the sale of non-potable water for irrigation and landscaping.

Santa Clara Stadium Authority Fund - The Stadium Authority was established to provide f or 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 an d communication equipment, information technology, public works capital projec t 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. T he financial activities of these funds are excluded fr om the City-wide financial statements, but are pres ented 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. Th e 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 Priv ate 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 fu nd category, proprietary, and fiduciary fund catego ry financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned an d 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 governm ental funds to be available if the revenues are col lected 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 deb t, including lease liabilities and subscription-bas ed IT arrangement (SBITA) liabilities as well as claims a nd judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions, includ ing 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-ter m debt, financing through leases, and issuance of subscription liabilites are reported as other financing sources .

63 The City allocates certain indirect expenses incurr ed by the General Government activity to those acti vities 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 a nd (b) the correction of an error in previously issued fin ancial statements. The provisions of this Statemen t 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 effec tive 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 fina ncial statements.

The GASB issued Statement No. 102,
Certain Risk Disclosures . The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essen tial information about risks related to a governmen t’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 finan cial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness i n 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 year s beginning after June 15, 2025. The City is curren tly 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 lega l or contractual requirements to do otherwise, inte rest earnings are apportioned among funds according to a verage 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 state ment of cash flows include pooled cash and investme nts 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 ca sh and investments are considered essentially deman d 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 record ed as advances to/from other funds in the fund financial statements.

Transactions constituting reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it th at 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 recei vables 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 fo r using the consumption method and is stated at ave rage 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 app ropriate fund at the time individual inventory item s are withdrawn for use. The General Fund inventory amoun t 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, th e use of which is restricted by legal or contractua l 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 tha n 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 co sts 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 si dewalks, drainage systems, and traffic signals, have been ca pitalized and reported in the government-wide finan cial statements. Depreciation has been calculated on all capital assets, including infrastructure, the righ t-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 a nd State grant funds, or they may be contributed by developers or other governments. These contribution s are accounted for as revenues at the time the cap ital 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 an d 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 cap ital assets (the underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange- like 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 subscri ption asset is initially measured as the initial am ount 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 p resent value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscr iption payments as follows:
 The City uses the interest rate charged by the IT v endor 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 rel ated 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 no t economically feasible.

L. Compensated Absences
Amounts of vested or accumulated vacation leave and certain benefits that are not expected to be liqui dated with expendable available financial resources are r eported in the Governmental Activities portion of t he

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 t hose funds as the benefits accrue to employees. Vac ation 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. T he 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 employe es.

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. T he 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 thos e 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 G overnmental Activities portion of the government-wi de financial statements only. No expenditure is report ed for these amounts in the governmental fund finan cial statements.

That portion of compensated absences that is unused reimbursable leave still outstanding following an employee's resignation or retirement at year end, i s an expense and current liability to the respectiv e 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 o f governmental activities compensated absences is liquidated primarily by the General Fund.

Governmental Business-Type
Activities Activities Total
Beginning Balance 20,664,568 $ 7,691,320 $ 28,355,888 $ Additions 2,686,089 1,270,655 3,956,744 Payments (1,142,849) (505,270) (1,648,119) Ending Balance 22,207,808 $ 8,456,705 $ 30,664,513 $ Current Portions 1,517,925 $ 578,025 $ 2,095,950 $

M. Risk Management
The City is self-insured up to $3 million to provid e general liability protection. In addition to the City's self- insurance, the City also maintains excess general liability with coverage up to $50 million.

The City is also self-insured up to $750,000 per cl aim for Workers' Compensation Claims. These self- insurance programs are administered by outside agen cies. The City also maintains excess workers' compensation insurance for workers' compensation cl aims 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 mai ntains boiler and machinery property coverage of $1 00

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)

68 million per occurrence in excess of self-insured am ounts varying from $25,000 to $100,000 per occurren ce.

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’ Retiremen t 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 accounti ng wherein encumbrances outstanding at year end, fo r 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 p osition includes a separate section for deferred ou tflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to a futu re 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 resou rces (revenue) until that time. In the government‐w ide financial statements the City reports deferred amou nts 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 constrai nts on the specific purposes for which amounts in t hose funds can be spent. For governmental fund reporting, the City considers restricted fund balance to have been spent first when an expenditure is incurred, follow ed by committed, assigned and unassigned fund balan ces (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 valu e as defined by Article XIII A and may be increased by no more than 2% per year unless there is a new cons truction 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 ende d 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 City- owned and operated Electric Utility (Silicon Valley Power) in accordance with the City Charter. Non-C ity owned and operated electric utilities pay a franchi se fee, which is also a governmental activities gen eral 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 reserv e for delinquent receivables since liens exist agai nst the related properties and hence the City's management believes the City will ultimately receive value equal to the delinquent receivables. Surplus fund balances remai ning at the completion of a special assessment dist rict 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 comm encement date, plus certain initial direct costs.

Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight‐line basis over its useful life.

71 Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments as follows:
 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 u ses 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 l ease 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 d eferred inflow of resources is initially measured a s the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted fo r 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 de termines (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 l ease 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 t he current fiscal year, the City has not engaged in any sublease transactions, sale-leaseback arrangements, or lease-leaseback agreements.

Arbitrage rebate liabilities, if any, are included in accrued liabilities.

Z. Revenue Recognition
Electric, Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Fund revenue s are recognized based on cycle billings periodical ly 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, interes t 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.

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 l oan balance if the borrower complies with all the t erms 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 ev entual forgiveness using the straight-line method o ver 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 co nformity 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 fin ancial statements and the reported amounts of reven ues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 p rojects, services and activities to be provided dur ing 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.

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 t o 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 fo r a budget amendment during the fiscal year which m ay 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, a nd grants require City Council appropriation for us e 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 budge tary basis. Budgeted revenue amounts represent the original budget modified by adjustments authorized during the year. Budgeted expenditure amounts represent original appropriations adjusted for supplemental a ppropriations and transfers during the year. Budge t 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 a vailable 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 ye ar 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 les sors and expenditures by lessees. GASB 87 replaces the previous lease accounting methodology and establish es 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 leas e assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as in flows of resources or outflows of resources based o n 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 lesso r is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevanc e and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities. The provisions of this Statement were implemented during fiscal year 2021-22.

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-ter m vision for rebuilding downtown. The planning proc ess on a specific plan for downtown is not complete and it will be several more years before any redevelop ment 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 u nder 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 extend ed 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

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 am ended to update the status of conditions precedent; amend the schedule of performance; and clarify term s 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 t he fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City recogn ized $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.

C. City Leases Pursuant to the Terms of the January 8, 2016 Settlement Agreement On March 8, 2011, the City and the former RDA adopt ed resolutions authorizing the execution of propert y conveyance agreements for the conveyance of certain real property owned by the former RDA. The agreements conveyed the properties subject to exist ing leases to the City. Properties included Califo rnia’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. Pursuan t to ABx1 26, the Redevelopment Dissolution Law, the Sta te Controller’s Office is to review any asset trans fers that occurred between a redevelopment agency and an y other public agency after January 1, 2011 and if the assets have not been contractually committed to a t hird party and to the extent allowed by state and f ederal 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 Sacr amento 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 Dist rict, and the Santa Clara County Office of Educatio n (Petitioners) motion for a preliminary injunction (temporary restraining order), restricting the City from selling, transferring, encumbering, spending, or otherwise d epleting or wasting any real property interests rec eived from the former RDA.

On January 8, 2016 the City executed a Settlement A greement in Sharma vs the City of Santa Clara. This Settlement Agreement calls for the City to return t o the Successor Agency certain properties that the former Redevelopment Agency transferred to the City prior to dissolution. The properties returned are as fol lows:

The Great America Theme Park Property, the Hilton H otel Property, the North/South Parking Lots, the Gateway Parcel 2 Property, the Hyatt Hotel Property , The Techmart Property, and the Martinson Childcar e Center Property. The Settlement Agreement requires the City to forego the long-term lease revenues generated by the properties. Lease revenues collected from J uly 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.

81 The Stadium Management Agreement also authorizes Ma nagementCo to pay for services related to the Stadium operations on behalf of the SCSA. For the y ear 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. T he first lease year commenced on the first day foll owing 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 du ration, which would commence following the initial term expiration date.

The Ground Lease provides that the City will receiv e a fixed ground rent (Fixed Ground Rent) of $180 thousand for the first year of Stadium operations p ayable by the SCSA. Beginning in the second year of Stadium operations and annually thereafter through the tenth year of Stadium operations, the Fixed Gro und 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 L ease. If the term of the Ground Lease is extended, then, during the first extension term, the Fixed Ground R ent will equal $1.58 million; and if and to the ext ent 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 thousan d in ground rent in fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

The Ground Lease also provides that the City will r eceive a performance-based rent equal to 50% of the net income from non-NFL events, less certain credits in cluding 50% of the Fixed Ground Rent, payable by th e SCSA. If certain of the credits are not used within the year incurred or the next five succeeding year s, 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 performa nce- based 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 pe rformance-based rent due to the City for both fisca l years were accrued in fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. H owever, the payment to the City will not occur unti l the Final Effective Date of the 2024 Settlement Agreeme nt. More details on the litigation are included in Note 20E.

The following schedule summarizes the minimum future payments due under this lease:

D. Stadium Lease
On March 28, 2012, the SCSA entered into a lease wi th StadCo whereby the SCSA leases the Stadium to StadCo. On June 19, 2013, the same parties entered into an Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement (the Stadium Lease).

The Stadium Lease has an initial term of 40 years c ommencing on the first day following the substantia l completion of construction (August 1, 2014) and inc ludes 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 th e take-out financing, which occurred on June 19, 20 13.

The Stadium Lease allowed for one opportunity to ad just 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 B oard (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 procedure s and to proceed to the arbitration process if nece ssary.

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. T his 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.

F. Ground Lease Restatement
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 ne t 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 stat ements 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 i nterest 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, S tadCo, 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 we ll as other miscellaneous terms and matters. The 20 24 Settlement Agreement includes amendments to the Gro und Lease and Stadium Lease. Those lease amendments, which have already been signed and appr oved by Stadium Authority Board, City Council, StadCo, and ManagementCo, need to be approved by th e NFL and the Lenders. Once the NFL and Lenders approve the lease amendments, the 2024 Settlement A greement will have a Final Effective Date, and the settlement terms can be implemented. To date, the N FL has approved the lease amendments. As part of th e 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.

B. Investments Authorized by the California Government Code and the City’s Investment Policy
The City’s investment strategy is to invest cash no t required for current obligations in U.S. governme nt 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 pur chase of securities with maturities greater than fi ve years, specifically for the Electric Cost Reduction Accoun t. This strategy allows the City to minimize its e xposure 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 g oals and objectives. The City is authorized to inv est 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 const ruction in instruments that are stated in the Inves tment 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 i f 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, res olution, 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 i n accordance with the investment policy of the Trus t 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 Mortg age Backed securities, debt issued by U.S.

Corporations and fixed income mutual funds (30% to 60% of portfolio’s aggregate fair value), and equit y securities or mutual funds (40% to 70% of portfolio ’s aggregate fair value). Investments in U.S. Corpo rate 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 in vestment 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. Indiv idual equity purchases shall have an equivalent sec urities 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 Stabiliza tion Program (PRSP) are governed by the Investment Guideline Document for the investment account and b y the agreement for administrative services with th e 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 manage ment, control on target yield and the portfolio’ ri sk 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 wid e range of investments with different maturities, and maintain s a reasonable average maturity of less than three years.

This approach significantly mitigates adverse market volatility and maximizes returns.

NOTE 7 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (continued)

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.

Presented below is the actual rating as of June 30, 2024 for each investment type:

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 wi thin the fair value hierarchy established by GAAP. The hierarchy is based on the valuation input used to m easure the fair value of asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Leve l 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

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 identica l or similar assets, liabilities or a group of asse ts and liabilities.

Level 1 investments are valued using a marketable a ctively traded assets closing price for identical a ssets.

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 in dividual issuers is greater than 5% of total Citywi de 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 G overnment 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 ri sk that, in the event of the failure of the counter party (e.g. broker-dealer) to a transaction, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investment or c ollateral securities that are in the possession of another pa rty. The City’s Investment Policy limits its expos ure to custodial credit risk by requiring that all security transactions entered into by the City, including collateral for repurchase agreements, be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis. Securities are to be held by a third- party custodian.

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 Ag ency Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of Californ ia.

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 investmen t option that offers securities with maturities ran ging from 60 days to one year. Investment principal and interest in the CAMP Term account are paid at matur ity, with an automatic sweep into the CAMP Pool account. The CAMP Pool is managed to maintain a dollar- weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or l ess 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 f inancial institutions. The CAMP Term investments a re based on a pool of open-market securities similar t o those in the CAMP Pool. The investments are matc hed to the amount invested and maturities selected by the Shareholder.

The City may withdraw all or any portion of the fun ds in the CAMP Pool account at any time by redeemin g 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, o r if, in the opinion of the CAMP trustees, an emergency e xists such that disposal of the CAMP pool securitie s or determination of its net asset value is not reasona bly practicable. If the right of withdrawal is susp ended, 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 Ju ne 30, 2024, the CAMP Pool investments had an avera ge maturity of 38 days.

B. City’s Long-term Obligations
2013 Central Park Library Refunding Certificates of Participation (2013 COPs) On March 28, 2013, the PFFC issued $18.54 million to provide funds to refund outstanding 2002A COPs. The 2013 COPs mature annually beginning February 1, 201 4 through February 1, 2032 and bear coupon rates ranging from 2% to 3.75%. Debt Service is secured by lease payments to be made by the City to the PFFC for use of the library. The PFFC assigns the lease payments to the certificate owners.

In the event of default there is no remedy of acceleration of the total lease payments nor the maturities of the Certificates. The City will be liable only for the lease payments on an annual basis, and in the event of default, the trustee would be required to seek a separate judgement each year for that year’s defaulted lease payments.

Compliance
Various debt agreements governing the City’s bonds contain a number of covenants, including continuing disclosure requirements. The City is in compliance with these specific covenants and all other materi al covenants governing the particular bond issues. No event of default, as defined in the bond indenture s, has occurred or is occurring.

Various debt agreements governing the Enterprise Fu nds’ revenue bonds contain a number of covenants, including those that require the City to maintain a nd preserve the respective enterprise in good repai r and working order, to maintain certain levels of insura nce and to fix and collect rates, fees and charges so as to maintain certain debt coverage ratios. The City is in compliance with these specific covenants and al l other material covenants governing the particular revenue bond issues. No event of default as defined in th e bond indentures has occurred or is occurring.

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 p ower purchase and sales transactions. The primary goal of these guidelines is to provide a framework for t he 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 purchas e/sales transaction. When hedging contracts expire , at the time the purchase/sales transactions occur, the deferred balance is recorded as a component of Pur chased 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 reso urces in CAISO market in June and purchase of power from CAISO in the future months.

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 po wer and gas contracts were in an asset position, an d 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 tho se 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 in struments varies based on individual contracts and counterparty credit ratings. Under the brokerage a greements with Archer Daniels Midland Company, the accounts are prefunded by SVP. If the account value falls below zero, margin calls are invoked. At Ju ne 30,

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 regulatio ns, 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 maint enance 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 $6,7 13,426 was reported based on the estimated remainin g postclosure care costs to meet the regulatory requi rements. During fiscal year 2024, the City incurre d post- closure 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 highe r or lower due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in landfill laws and regulations.

NCPA was formed in 1968 as a joint powers agency in the State of California. Its membership consists of sixteen public agencies. NCPA is generally empowered to sell, purchase, generate, transmit, manage electrical energy and provide regulatory and legislative advocacy. Members participate in the projects of NCPA on an elective basis. Therefore, the participation percentage varies for each project in which it participates.

A Commission comprised of one representative for each member governs NCPA. The Commission is responsible for the general management of the affairs, property, and business of NCPA. Under the direction of the General Manager, the staff of NCPA is responsible for providing various administrative, operating and planning services for NCPA and its associated power corporations.

Project Financing and Construction
NCPA’s project construction and development programs have been individually financed by project revenue bonds collateralized by NCPA’s assignment of all payments, revenues and proceeds associated with its interest in each project. Each project participant has agreed to pay its proportionate share of debt service and other costs of the related project, notwithstanding the suspension, interruption, interference, reduction or curtailment of output from the project for any reason. Certain of the revenue bonds are additionally supported by municipal bond insurance credit enhancements.

Hydroelectric Project
NCPA is contracted to finance, manage, construct, and operate Hydroelectric Project Number One for the licensed owner, Calaveras County Water District (CCWD). In exchange, NCPA has the right to the electric output of the project for 50 years from February 1982. NCPA also has an option to purchase power from the project in excess of the CCWD’s requirements for the subsequent 50 years, subject to regulatory approval.

Geothermal Project
The NCPA Geothermal Plants have historically experienced greater than anticipated declines in steam production from the existing geothermal wells. Although initially operated as baseload generation projects at -

1 18
full capability (238MW), NCPA changed its steam field production from baseload to load-following and reduced average annual steam production. Along with other steam field operators in the area, the Agency began implementing various operating strategies to further reduce the rate of decline in steam production. The Agency has modified both steam turbine units and the associated steam collection system to enable generation with lower pressure steam at higher mass-flow rates to optimize the utilization of the available steam resource.

In fiscal year 2019-20, NCPA began a well-workover program to restore underperforming wells.

Based upon current operation protocols and forecasted operations, NCPA expects average annual generation and peak capacity to decrease further, reaching approximately 68 MW by the year 2040.

Combustion Turbine Project No. 1
NCPA originally owned five combustion turbine units, each of which is nominally rated at 25 MW, which are collectively known as the Combustion Turbine Project No. 1. These units were completed in 1986 and are designed to provide peak power and reserve requirements and emergency support. Effective September 1, 2010, two units located in the city of Roseville was sold to the City of Roseville. NCPA still owns and operates two units in the city of Alameda and one unit in the City of Lodi. Each purchaser is responsible under its power sales contract for paying an entitlement share in Combustion Turbine Project No. 1 of all NCPA’s costs of such project.

Lodi Energy Center
On May 24, 2010, SVP entered into an agreement with NCPA for a 25.75% interest in the Lodi Energy Center, a 280 MW combined cycle natural gas fired power plant, located in Lodi, California. The project received approval from the California Energy Commission in April 2010 and was placed into operation in November 2012. In January 2020, the Lodi Energy Center suffered a catastrophic turbine failure. NCPA replaced the turbine with a newer state-of-the-art turbine which could use hydrogen as a cleaner fuel source. The majority of the replacement cost was covered by NCPA’s insurance resulting in relatively minimal financial impact to project participants.

D. Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC)
TANC was organized under the California Government Code pursuant to a joint powers agreement entered into by 15 Northern California utilities. The purpose of TANC is to provide electric transmission and other facilities for the use of its members through its authority to plan, acquire, construct, finance, operate and maintain facilities for electric power transmission. The joint powers agreement provides that the costs of TANC’s activities can be financed or recovered through assessment of its members or from user charges through transmission contracts with its members. Each TANC member has agreed to pay a pro-rata share of the costs to operate TANC and for payment of debt service, and has the right to participate in future project agreements.

The joint powers agreement remains in effect until all debt obligations and interest thereon have been paid, unless otherwise extended by the members.

California-Oregon Transmission Project
TANC is a participant and also the Project Manager of the California-Oregon Transmission Project (Project), a 340-mile long, 500-kilovolt alternating current transmission project between Southern Oregon and Central

California. As Project Manager, TANC is responsible for the overall direction and coordination of all Project operations and maintenance, additions and betterments, and for general and administrative support.

The Project was declared commercially operable on March 24, 1993, with a rated transfer capability of 1,600 megawatts and provides a third transmission path be tween the electric systems of the Pacific Northwest and those in California. The Project has successfully met and completed the major environmental requireme nts.

As of June 30, 2023, the most recent data available , TANC’s investment in the Project was $545.2 milli on, less accumulated depreciation and amortization of $267.8 million.

In connection with its participation in the Project , TANC has an entitlement balance of the Project’s transfer capability of approximately 1,362 megawatts and is obligated to pay an average of approximately 80% of the operating costs associated with the Project. TANC incurred and initially capitalized all costs for pr oject construction since they were expected to be recover ed through reimbursement from Project participants and from the successful operations of the Project’s tra nsmission lines. The Project agreement among the participating members provides that each member agrees to make payments, from its revenues, to TANC fo r project costs incurred and for payment of debt service.

Santa Clara has historically been obligated to pay 20.47% of TANC’s COTP operating and maintenance expenses and 20.70% of TANC’s COTP debt service and 22.16% of the Vernon acquisition debt. Santa Clara has also been entitled to 20.4745% of TANC’s share of COTP transfer capability (approximately 278 MW net of third party layoffs of TANC) on an unconditional take-or-pay basis. Starting on July 1, 2014 Santa Clara laid-off 147 MWs of this entitlement to other TANC members under a 25 year agreement. During the term of this agreement the parties taking on the entitlemen t will pay all associated debt service, operations and maintenance costs, and all administrative and gener al costs. Santa Clara’s portion of the operating an d maintenance expenses and the COTP debt service is 10.004 %.

E. San Jose/Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility and Clean Water Financing Authority (SJSC)
The City and the City of San Jose jointly own the San Jose/Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility, (RWF).

The RWF provides wastewater treatment services to Santa Clara, San Jose, and seven other tributary agencies.

The City of San Jose is the administering agency fo r the RWF. The San Jose/Santa Clara Clean Water Financing Authority (Authority) was created in 1981 to provide financing for capital improvements at t he RWF.

In 1959, the City and the City of San Jose entered into an agreement to construct and operate the RWF, (formerly referred to as the San Jose/Santa Clara W ater Pollution Control Plant). Under the terms of the agreement, the cities own an undivided interest in the RWF and share in the capital and operating cost s on a pro rata basis, determined by the ratio of each cit y’s assessed valuation to the sum of both cities as sessed valuations. Such percentages are determined annual ly and applied to the capital and operating costs o f the RWF, determined on an accrual basis. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the City’s portion of the plant capacity was approximately 19.741%, which is also its interest in the net position of the RWF.

Zero Waste Energy Development Company Ground Lease
On June 21, 2011, the San Jose City Council approved a ground lease with Zero Waste Energy Development Company (ZWED) to lease a portion of the former Nin e Par landfill, which is a part of the San Jose/San ta

Clara Regional Wastewater Facility lands. ZWED would lease the property in three phases. Under the terms of the proposed lease, ZWED will lease 40.7 acres from the City of San Jose for an initial term of seven years from the date of execution for all three leaseholds. The base rent for the initial phase (Phase 1) of the property would be payable as a proportional credit against the expenditure of site development costs estimated at $11.8 million or as a payment of $850,000 per year. Rent for the subsequent phases will be based on the amount of organic waste processed at the facility. Over the 30-year life of the lease, the estimate payment is a minimum of $16.5 million. The incoming revenue will be distributed between the City of Santa Clara, City of San Jose, and the tributary agencies to the RWF based on the master agreements with each agency.

South Bay Water Recycling Program
The South Bay Water Recycling Program (SBWR), a regional water reclamation program, is part of an action plan adopted by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) which limits the RWF on the amount of effluent discharged into San Francisco Bay in order to prevent conversion of salt marsh and destruction of endangered species habitat. Flow limits are not in cluded in the current five year permit from the RQW CB.

SBWR has a master plan to guide the continued operation and potential expansion of the SBWR in the absence of the previous regulatory drivers. The master plan was completed in December of 2014 and accepted by the City of San Jose and the Santa Clara Valley Water District during fiscal year 2014-15.

Under the previously approved action plan, SBWR was required to reclaim 21.1 million gallons per day (MGD) of plant effluent for nonpotable use by November 1, 1997, (Phase 1) and an additional 24.30 MGD by December 31, 2000 (Phase 2). The action plan also requires assessment of alternatives for potable reu se, including a potable pilot plant to be coordinated w ith the Santa Clara Valley Water District. In addi tion to habitat preservation, the project reduces the mass trace contaminates discharged to the San Francisco Bay and provides a reliable source of water to offset potable water demands. The current master plan recognizes that primary drivers for the continued operation and expansion of the recycled water system are based in the need for water supply, rather than wastewater discharge reduction.

When first built, the SBWR distribution system included approximately 67 miles of pipe, a four million gallon reservoir, a transmission pump station, and two boo ster pump stations. These facilities were construc ted between 1996 and 1998 at a capital cost of approximately $140 million funded by the tributary agencies, grants and bond proceeds. Santa Clara’s share of Phase 1 costs was approximately $20.07 million. Within Sant a Clara, seven miles of distribution mains were added to the system in 2010 and 2011 and the entire SBWR distribution system now consists of over 140 miles of pipeline.

Proceeds from the City of San Jose 1995 Series A and B Bonds and other funds were used to pay for the City of San Jose’s share of Phase 1. The City contribut ed existing capital reserves, existing recycled wat er distribution system, and additional construction of system extensions. Other sources for funding of P hase 1 include U.S. Bureau of Reclamation grants, State of California Revolving Fund loans, $6.45 million transferred in fiscal year 1995 from the Clean Water Financing Authority to the City of San Jose Wastewater Treatment Plant Capital Fund, and cash contributions from oth er participating agencies. The 2010 and 2011 extens ions of the distribution system were funded in part by a combination of grants from the American Recovery a nd Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and the United State Bureau of Reclamation totaling $10.4 million.

In June 1997, the RWQCB approved the Proposed Revis ion to the South Bay Action Plan (the Plan), which describes the projects necessary to reduce average dry weather effluent flow from the RWF to below 120 MGD and protect salt marsh habitat for endangered species in the South Bay as required by RWQCB Order 94-117.

These projects include expanding the Phase 1 nonpot able water distribution system by extending additio nal

piping, placing greater emphasis on water conservat ion programs, reducing infiltration inflow, augment ing stream flow, and creating wetlands. The estimated costs of $127.5 million has been funded through a combination of State Revolving Fund loans, Equipmen t Replacement Reserves, Sewage Treatment Plant Connection Fees, federal grants, in-kind services and cash contributions.

F. M-S-R Public Power Agency (MSR PPA)
MSR PPA is a joint power agency formed in 1980 by the Modesto Irrigation District, the City and the City of Redding, California, to develop or acquire and manage electric power resources for the benefit of the members.

The personnel of its members and contract professio nal staff perform the administrative and management functions of MSR PPA. The member’s income and expe nse sharing ratio is as follows: Modesto Irrigation District – 50%; City of Santa Clara – 35%; and City of Redding – 15%.

Prior to fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, SVP’s equity in MSR PPA’s net losses exceeds its investments and, therefore, the equity method of accounting for the investment was suspended. As of December 31, 2023, the date of the latest available audited financial statements, SVP was in a positive equity position o f $14.3 million. The equity method of accounting of SVP’s investment in MSR PPA was applied. Under the joint exercise of power agreement, which formed MSR PPA, the City is responsible for funding up to 35 percent of MSR PPA’s operating cost, to the extent such funding is necessary. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the City funded its share of operating costs in the Electric Utility Enterprise Fund expenses.

MSR PPA’s principal activity is a 28.8% ownership interest in a 507-megawatt unit of a coal-fired electricity generating plant located in New Mexico (San Juan Plant). The San Juan plant was jointly owned by the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) (38.5%), MSR PP A (28.8%) and other municipal power entities (32.7%). On December 31, 2017, MSR PPA divested its ownership interest in the San Juan plant and no longer receives electric energy or capacity from the San Juan Generating Station.

In 2006, MSR PPA entered into a Wholesale Purchase and Sale Agreement and a Shaping and Firming Agreement with Avangrid Renewables, Inc. to provide renewable wind energy to the Members from the Big Horn I Wind Energy Project (Big Horn I Project) wit h a nominal installed capacity of approximately 199 .5 MW. The City receives the power purchased by MSR P PA from the Big Horn I Project. The City’s share equates to approximately a 105 MW share of the output. Power deliveries commenced on October 1, 2006 and will continue through September 30, 2026. Through an amendment of the original agreements MSR PPA has an obligation to continue to take the same output t hrough September 30, 2031, or if the Big Horn Proje ct is repowered MSR PPA will have a right of first offer to negotiate a long-term power purchase for such repowered project. The participation in this project is as follows: Modesto Irrigation District – 12.5%; City of Santa Clara – 52.5%; and City of Redding – 35%.

In 2009, MSR PPA entered into a Power Purchase Agre ement and Redelivery Agreement with Avangrid Renewables Inc. to purchase additional wind power e nergy from the same site, called Big Horn II, with a nominal installed capacity of 50 MW for a twenty-year period. Deliveries of energy under this project began on November 1, 2010. The participation in this project is as follows: Modesto Irrigation District – 65%; City of Santa Clara – 35%.

M-S-R PPA San Juan
In 2015, the MSR PPA Commission approved a number o f agreements (the “San Juan Restructuring Agreements”) to provide for the interests of MSR PP A and certain other San Juan Participants (the “exi ting

participants”) in the San Juan Generation Station t o be transferred to the remaining San Juan Particip ants effective December 31, 2017. In addition to the ownership divesture, the San Juan Restructuring Agreements provide for, among other things, the allocation of ongoing responsibility for decommissioning costs, m ine reclamation costs and any environmental remediation obligations among the exiting participants and the remaining San Juan Participants, and the establishm ent and funding of mine reclamation and plant decommissioning trust funds. The San Juan Restructuring Agreements were subsequently executed by all nine San Juan Generation Station owners and PNM Resource s Development Company (a non-utility affiliate of PNM) and, following receipt of regulatory approvals , became effective on January 31, 2016. Various oth er implementing agreements and amendments to existing San Juan project agreements to effect the restructuring have also been executed. Closing of the ownership r estructuring of the San Juan Generation Station and the divestiture of MSR PPA’s interests in San Juan Unit No. 4 was completed on schedule on December 31, 2017.

G. M-S-R Energy Authority (MSR EA)
MSR EA is a joint power agency formed in 2008 by th e Modesto Irrigation District, the City of Santa Cl ara, and the City of Redding, California, to develop or acquire and manage natural gas resources for the benefit of the members. The personnel of its members and cont ract professional staff perform the administrative and management functions of MSR EA. The member’s income and expense sharing ratio is as follows: Modesto Irrigation District – 33.3%; City of Santa Clara – 33.4%; and City of Redding – 33.3%.

The City’s equity in MSR EA’s net losses exceeds it s investment and, therefore, the equity method of accounting for the investment has been suspended. As of December 31, 2023, the date of the latest available audited financial statements, the City’s unrecognized share of member’s deficit of MSR EA was $27.2 million.

Under the joint exercise of power agreement, which formed MSR EA, the City is responsible for funding up to 33.4% of MSR EA’s operating cost, to the extent such funding is necessary. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the City funded its share of operating in the Electric Utility Enterprise Fund expenses.

In 2009, the City of Santa Clara, along with the Ci ties of Modesto and Redding participated in the M-S -R Energy Authority Gas Prepay Project. The Gas Prepay Project provides the City of Santa Clara, through a Gas Supply Agreement with MSR EA dated September 10, 2009, a secure and long-term supply of natural gas of 7,500 MM Btu (Million British thermal unit) daily or 2,730,500 MM Btu annually through December 31, 2012, and 12,500 MM Btu daily, or 4,562,500 MM Btu annually thereafter until September 30, 2039.

NOTE 13 – RETIREMENT PLAN – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN A. Plan Description
The City contributes to the California Public Emplo yees Retirement System (CalPERS), an agent multiple - employer defined benefit plan, which is a public employee retirement system that acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. CalPERS offers a menu of benefit provisions and other requirements that are established by State statutes within the Public Employee Retirement law. The City selects optional benefit provisions from the benefit menu by contract with CalPERS and adopts those benefits through local ordinance. CalPERS issues a separate Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Copies of the CalPERS’ annual financial report may be obtained from the CalPERS website at www.calpers.ca.gov.

The City’s defined benefit pension plans for Miscel laneous and Safety employees with CalPERS provide retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. All permanent (full-time and part-t ime) and eligible “as-needed” hourly City employees are required to participate in CalPERS. Employees fall under two categories, Classic and PEPRA. Employee s hired on or before December 31, 2012, are considere d Classic PERS members. Employees hired on or afte r January 1, 2013, fall into the PEPRA PERS members.

B. Pension Plan Benefits
On September 12, 2012, the State of California pass ed Assembly Bill (AB) 340, which created the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA). PEPRA implem ented new benefit formulas and final compensation period, as well as new contribution re quirements for new employees hired on or after Janu ary 1, 2013, who meet the definition of new member under PEPRA. Please refer to the Pension Reform section of the CalPERS website for more information regarding when an employee will be considered a new member under PEPRA.

Benefits for employees in the Miscellaneous Plan an d Safety Plan vest after five years of CalPERS cred ited service. The retirement benefits are based on the retiree’s age, years of CalPERS credited service, and benefit factor of 2.7% at 55 for the Classic Miscellaneous Plan members and 3% at 50 for the Classic Safety Pl an members. For members under PEPRA, the benefit facto r is reduced to 2% at 62 for the Miscellaneous Plan and 2.7% at 57 for the Safety Plan.

C. Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. Th e actuarially determined rate is the estimated amou nt necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned b y employees during the year, with an additional amo unt to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employ ees. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City’s contributions to the miscellaneous and safety plans were $37,993,602 and $37,050,903, respectively.

D. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plans’ fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2023, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022, rol led forward to June 30, 2023, using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liabilit y is shown below.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the Plan was 6.90%. The projection o f cash flows used to determine the discount rate for the Plan assumed that contributions from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) will be mad e at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members for all plans in the PERF. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all period of pr ojected benefit payments to determine the total pen sion liability for the Plan.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension pl an investments was determined using a building-bloc k method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

In determining the long-term expected rate of retur n, CalPERS took into account both short-term and lo ng- term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all the funds’ assets classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points.

The table below reflects the real rates of return by asset class.

NOTE 14 – RETIREMENT PLAN - DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
The City’s Public Agency Retirement System Plan (PARS Plan) is a compulsory retirement plan that qualifies under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code covering City employees who are not members of CalPERS.

Under the provisions of the PARS Plan, the City makes no contributions; however, all administrative costs of the plan are funded by the City. The PARS Plan adm inistrator is Phase II Systems. The total assets o f the PARS Plan are held in trust for the employees and are not included in the City’s assets or equity.

NOTE 15 – DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
City employees may defer a portion of their compensation under a City sponsored deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Under this plan, participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of their compensation until di stributed to them; distributions may be made only a t termination, retirement, death or in an emergency as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Plan is part of the public agency agent multipl e-employer defined contribution plan that is admini stered by Nationwide. Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by City Resolution.

The laws governing deferred compensation plan assets require plan assets to be held by a trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiarie s. Since the assets held under these plans are not the City’s property and are not subject to City control, they have been excluded from these financial statements.

The City has no liability for any losses incurred b y the Plan and does not participate in any gains, b ut does have the duty of due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The City has a contract with Nationwide to manage and invest the assets of the P lan. The administrator pools the assets of the Plan with those of other participants and does not make separate investments for the City. The assets in the Plan are the sole property of the participants or their benefici aries. Since the assets held under the Plan are not the City’s property and are not subject to claims by general c reditors of the City, they have been excluded from these financial statements. The Plan requires investments to be stated at fair market value and it requires all gains and losses on Plan investments to accrue directly to participant accounts.

The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assu med that City contributions will be made at rate eq ual to the actuarially determined contributions rates. Bas ed on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.

A. Long-term Power Purchase Contracts
The City purchases wholesale electric power from va rious participants of the Western Systems Power Poo l (WSPP), NCPA, MSR Public Power Agency (Note 12), We stern Area Power Administration, and other sources to supply the power requirements of the Cit y’s electric utility customers under long-term powe r purchase agreements (PPAs). The City actively manages the financial risks inherent in these PPAs, including the risks arising from the changing spot market prices that move above and below the contract prices and from contract disputes that may arise from time to time. The proceeds and costs related to generation, either owned or under PPAs, except ancillary services are includ ed in enterprise fund materials, services and suppl ies expense and excluded from wholesale resources purchase.

B. Restructuring of the California Electric Industry
Deregulation Legislation and Direct Access
The passage of AB1890 in 1998 triggered fundamental changes in the structure of the electric industry in California. Generally, AB1890 provided for creation of the California Power Exchange (Cal PX), which was to be a clearinghouse for energy transactions among investor-owned utilities, independent generators a nd power marketers, who in turn would serve so called direct-access customers. AB1890 also created the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which was to manage the state’s bulk transmission grid.

However, in 2000 and 2001, the price of electricity at the Cal PX became extremely high, and investor-owned utilities were unable to pay for the energy that they needed from the Cal PX. Eventually the Cal PX filed for bankruptcy and was dismantled. Investor-owned utility PG&E and several energy marketers would also file for bankruptcy and over a decade of litigation ensued.

The CAISO, however, continues to manage the state’s bulk electric system and the day-ahead and day-of markets, and it has implemented various price controls and tariffs in an effort to avoid repeating the mistakes of 2000 and 2001. Along with balancing control ar ea responsibility, the CAISO has also announced tha t it will take on the role of reliability coordinator for the region.

Energy Wholesale Trading and Risk Management
SVP participates in the wholesale gas and power market and the CAISO’s centralized market. Since CAISO’s Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU), CAISO has become the ultimate buyer and seller in the California day ahead market. Therefore, SVP engages in the trading of commodity forward contracts (gas and electric energy contracts) to secure fuel supply an d hedge daily power purchase/sales from/to CAISO. The primary type of forward contracts SVP currently eng ages in is the Futures contracts SVP transacts on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). The Futures trans actions for both natural gas and power are recorded on cash basis under Wholesale Trading activities start ing fiscal year 2022-23. Activities during the fisc al year were substantially considered hedging transactions and, as such, have been accounted for using the settlement method of accounting. Accordingly, related gross sales and purchases totaling $11.5 million and $9.8 million, respectively, for fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, have been separately reported on the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position.

The restructured electric wholesale market exposes SVP to various risks including market, credit and operational risks. Active and effective management of these risks associated with the power trading a ctivity

is critical to its continued success and contributi on to the entire utility. A Risk Management Commit tee, separate from the units that create the risk exposu res, overseen by a Risk Oversight Committee that re ports ultimately to the City Council, administers and monitors compliance with the risk policies and procedures on a regular basis. The City and SVP believe that it has the resource commitment, and effective policies and procedures, and is continuing to improve the control structure and oversight for evaluating and controlling the market and credit risks to which it is exposed.

Credit Arrangements
The City of Santa Clara electric utility maintains credit policies, procedures, and systems that help mitigate credit risk and minimize overall credit risk exposu re. The policies include transacting only with inv estment grade counterparties, evaluating potential counterp arties’ financial condition and assigning credit li mits as applicable. These credit limits are established based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. Additionally, SVP is a signatory to the WSPP netting agreement supplement and otherwise, enters into master netting arrangements whenever possible and, where appropriate, obtains collateral prior to trade execution. Master netting agreements incorporate rights of setoff that provide for the net settlement of subject contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default.

NOTE 18 – NET POSITION/FUND EQUITY
Net Position is measured on the full accrual basis and presented in the Government-wide Financial Statements, while Fund Balance is measured on the modified accr ual basis and presented in the Governmental Funds Financial Statements.

A. Government-wide Financial Statements - Net Position Net Position is the excess of all the City’s assets and deferred outflow of resources over all its lia bilities and deferred inflow of resources, regardless of fund. Net Position is divided into three captions. These captions apply only to Net Position, which is determined only at the government–wide level, and are described below:

Net investment in capital assets describes the portion of Net Position which is rep resented by the current net book value of the City’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued to finance these assets.

Restricted describes the portion of Net Position which is res tricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regul ations, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include deve loper fees received for use on capital projects, de bt service requirements, and redevelopment funds restricted to low and moderate-income purposes.

Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted as to use.

B. Governmental Fund Financial Statements - Fund Balances The City categorizes fund balance in accordance wit h GAAP. The following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for which resources can be used:

Nonspendable Fund Balance
Amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in a nonspendable form or are required to be maintained intact.

Restricted Fund Balance
Amounts that are constrained to specific purposes by federal, state, county, local laws, or externally imposed conditions by grantors or creditors.

Committed Fund Balance
Amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by the City Council, the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, through resolutions. These committed amounts canno t be used for any other purpose unless the Council removes or changes the specific uses through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment. These Council actions must occur prior to June 30th of the applicable fiscal year.

Assigned Fund Balance
Amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent are to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The City Council delegated the auth ority to assign amounts to be used for specific pur poses to the City Manager per Ordinance 1784, September 16, 2003.

Unassigned Fund Balance
These are either residual positive net resources of the General Fund in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories in the General Fund, or negative balances in all other funds. The Unassigned Fund Balance includes the Budget Stabilization (Eme rgency) and Capital Projects Reserves, and other undesignated fund balances. The balances in these accounts are $56.6 million, $24.8 million, and $27.8 million, respectively. Additional information is described in the Stabilization Arrangement section of this note.

Under the City’s encumbrance system of accounting, a portion of fund balance that has been encumbered for a specific future use is classified in the appropri ate fund balance component based on the nature of t he encumbrance.

C. Fund Balance Policy
When both restricted and unrestricted funds are ava ilable for expenditure, the City’s Fund Balance Pol icy reduces all Governmental Funds Balances in the foll owing order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned fund balances unless disallowed by City Council or legal requirements.

Stabilization Arrangement
Maintaining financial stabilization is a necessity for sound financial management and fiscal accountability. Its purpose is to ensure funds are available to cover occasional budgetary shortfalls (i.e., when general unrestricted revenues decline) or other unexpected urgent events. The City’s Budget Stabilization Reserves (Emergency) and Capital Projects Reserves are maintained for these purposes. As of June 30, 2024, the Budget Stabilization and Capital Projects Reserves were $56.6 million and $24.8 million, respectively, and are a component of the General Fund’s Unassigned Fund Balance.

In 1985-86, the City Council established a policy r egarding the City's General Contingency Reserve, un der which two separate reserves were established.
 The Budget Stabilization Reserve is set aside prima rily for weathering economic downturns, emergency financial crisis, or disaster situations. The reserve target is equal to the cost of the Ci ty’s General Fund operations for three months (90-days o r 25% General Fund operating budget). Given the significant impacts of COVID-19 on the City’s budget, the City Council Adopted the FY2021-22 budget principles that allow this reserve to drop to 15% of budgeted expenditures.  The Capital Projects Reserve, earmarks funds for a five-year capital improvement program. The minimum target for this reserve is $5 million.

One of the strategic objectives on the 2017-18 Coun cil Goals and Strategic Objectives list is to conti nue to replenish City reserves and maintain strong, fiscal ly-sound management policies of City revenues with long term goals in mind.

Pension Rate Stabilization Program Trust
In fiscal year 2016-17, the City established an irrevocable trust account with PARS to pre-fund retirement plan obligations. The contributions placed in the trust will reduce the City’s net pension liability for fi nancial purposes as required by GAAP. As of June 30, 2024, the balances in the pension rate stabilization prog ram trust for the General Fund and Enterprise Funds are listed as follows:

NOTE 19 – RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of losses related to torts, errors and omissions, general liability, injuries to employees and unemployment claims. The City curren tly reports all of its risk management activities i n its Internal Service Funds. Claims, expenditures and l iabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated using actuarial methods or other estimating techniques.

The City records a liability to reflect an actuarial estimate of ultimate uninsured losses for both general liability claims and workers’ compensation claims. The estim ated liabilities for general liability and workers’ compensation claims are based on case reserves and include amounts for claims incurred but not reporte d (IBNR). At June 30, 2024, the estimated claims pay able of $29,496,000, consisting of reserves for bot h reported and IBNR losses, as well as, allocated los s adjustment expenses, have been recorded in the Sp ecial

With respect to the Special Liability accrual of $8.6 million, the City has numerous unsettled lawsuits filed or claims asserted against it as of June 30, 2024. Th e City has reviewed these claims and lawsuits in or der to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome t o the City and to arrive at an estimate of the amou nt or ranges of potential loss to the City. As a result of such review, the City has categorized the various claims and lawsuits as “probable,” “reasonably possible,” and “remote” loss contingencies, as defined by current accounting standards.

The City has determined that the City’s probable lo ss contingencies, which are accrued for as the esti mated special liability for claims and lawsuits as of June 30, 2024, are approximately $9 million. The final outcome of claims and lawsuits, which have been categorized as reasonably possible loss contingencies, is not presently determinable and any associated potential loss cannot be estimated. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the accompanying basic financial statements relative to the potential outcome of such claims and lawsuits.

However, the ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits is not expected to have a material effect on the accompanying basic financial statements.

A. Electricity Purchase Contracts
The City has future commitments under electricity p urchase contracts as discussed in Note 17A, and is contingently liable under joint venture agreements discussed in Note 12B.

B. Grant Programs
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. Th e amount, if any, of expenditures that may be disal lowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time, although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

C. Encumbrances
The City uses encumbrances to control expenditure c ommitments for the year and to enhance cash management. Encumbrances represent commitments rela ted to contracts not yet performed and purchase orders not yet filled (executory contracts; and ope n purchase orders). Commitments for such expenditur e of monies are encumbered to reserve a portion of applicable appropriations. Encumbrances still open at year end are not accounted for as expenditures and liabilities but, rather, as restricted or committed governmental fund balance. As of June 30, 2024, total governmental fund encumbrance balances for the City are as follows:

D. Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency Revenue Bonds Surcharge The City contracts with the City and County of San Francisco for the purchase of water from the Hetch Hetchy System operated by the San Francisco Public Utiliti es Commission (SFPUC). The City is also a member o f the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) which represents the interests of all the 24 cities and water districts, as well as two private utilities, that purchase wholesale water from the SFPUC.

In 2009 the City entered into a new 25 year agreeme nt with the SFPUC. One of the ways that the new agreement differs from the old is in how facilities constructed by the SFPUC that benefit the regional customers are treated from a rate and financial perspective. Under the old agreement, facilities were built, ca pitalized, and added to the rate base with a rate of return (i nterest), and then paid for over their useful lives through wholesale rates. Under the new agreement, the SFPUC issues revenue bonds and the debt service (which also includes an interest component) is paid for through rates over the life of the bonds.

During the transition from the old to the new contracts, one of the issues addressed was how to deal with the $370 million in assets that were still being paid for by the wholesale customers under the old agreement. The assets were transferred to the new agreement, assigned a life with an agreed upon rate of return of 5.13%. Also negotiated was a provision to allow the wholesale customers to prepay any remaining existing assets’ unpaid principal balance without penalty or premium. This prepayment was executed through the issuance of bonds by BAWSCA which provide a better interest rate given the favorable rate environment.

BAWSCA issued Revenue Bonds in the principal amount of $335,780,000 in January 2013 to prepay the capital cost recovery payment obligation and fund a stabilization fund. The Bonds mature in October 2 034 and are secured by surcharges to the monthly water purchase charges imposed upon the participating members.

The Bonds are not a debt obligation of any member, and BAWSCA’s failure to pay its Bonds would not constitute a default by any participating member.

Should any participating member fail to pay its sha re, BAWSCA will rely on the stabilization fund and will pursue all legal remedies to collect the shortfall from the delinquent member. In the interim, other participating members may have their portion adjusted to insure the continued payment of the debt service surcharge.

The risk of bearing the debt service expense of a defaulting member is not significantly different than the risk each member assumes currently for fluctuations in w ater purchase charges. Under the Bond indenture, BAWSCA maintains a stabilization fund. If surcharg e revenues collected are less than needed (due to a member’s failure to pay timely), BAWSCA uses the stabilization fund to fund the debt service deficiency, and increases the surcharge in the subsequent year to m ake up for the prior year shortfall and reimburse t he stabilization fund account. Also, given that each participating agency’s governing body adopted a Resolution to participate in the Bond issue, Management believes that default is generally very unlikely.

The annual debt service surcharges are a fixed amou nt for each participant and are calculated by takin g the subsequent fiscal year’s debt service, multiplied b y each participant’s actual water purchase as a per cent of total wholesale customer water purchases from the p rior fiscal year. One-twelfth of the annual surcha rge is included in the monthly bill from SFPUC. Because e ach participant’s share of the debt service surchar ge is proportional to the amount of water purchased during the prior fiscal year, the City’s share of the debt service will fluctuate from year to year.

The City paid its surcharge of $533,964 during fisc al year 2023-24, which is included as a component o f purchased water expenses in the Water Enterprise Fund. The surcharge for fiscal year 2024-25 is estimated to be $531,588.

E. Santa Clara Stadium Authority and Litigation
Asset Retirement Obligation
Pursuant to the Ground Lease, the SCSA may be required to demolish the Stadium and other improvements at the end of the lease term, upon written notice from the City. Pursuant to the Stadium Lease, the SCSA will establish reserves to fund the cost of demolishing the stadium at the end of the lease term. While such reserves are projected to cover the entire demolition cost, StadCo will be responsible for funding any shortfall.

Historical SBL Buffet Costs
On April 30, 2020, the SCSA received an invoice in the amount of $4.4 million for previously un-billed “complimentary” buffet costs associated with certai n SBL holders for the NFL seasons from 2014 through 2018. On May 13, 2020, the SCSA issued a response letter disputing the newly-billed costs citing that the costs were not presented in a reasonable manner relative to the financial planning and reporting requirements of the Lease Agreement and Stadium Management Agreement an d there was no justification for delaying presentment and demand for payment. The invoices presented also lack sufficient supporting documentations in order to confirm the validity of the costs and c harges under the Lease Agreement terms. StadCo and ManagementCo initiated arbitration proceedings to dispute the SCSA’s position and SCSA filed cross-claims.

In fiscal year 2021-22, ManagementCo invoiced an additional $902 thousand in new buffet costs to the SCSA through the fiscal year 2021-22 Non-NFL events’ net loss. ManagementCo also issued a certificate of loan to the SCSA under the Management Company Revolving Loan for the buffet amount and subsequently paid off the loan through the year-end excess cash distribut ion. SCSA objected to and disputed ManagementCo's unauthorized payment of these buffet costs through the Revolving Loan, and also the payment of that lo an through year-end excess cash. Pursuant to the parties' August 31, 2022 settlement agreement and stipulation, ManagementCo's draw under the Revolving Loan will b e treated as a timely SCSA payment, under protest, and with a full reservation of SCSA's rights and claims. The SCSA recorded a receivable from ManagementCo for the loan draw on the buffet costs as of March 31, 2023.

ManagementCo also reported $1.2 million and $1.3 million in buffet costs to be charged to the SCSA for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 respectively. The SCSA had not recorded a liability for this cost because the dispute was outstanding and in pending arbitration.

The parties’ 2024 Settlement Agreement resolved the buffet arbitration (note 6G). Upon the Final Effec tive Date of the May 2024 Settlement Agreement, first, t he parties agreed that the $902 thousand that was d rawn from the Management Company Revolving Loan for fisc al year 2021-22 buffet costs would be treated as Stadium Authority’s reimbursement of those costs. T herefore, the Stadium Authority reversed the corresponding receivable from Management Co and recorded a $902 thousand complementary buffet operating expense in fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Second , StadCo waived all other buffet expenses from fisc al year 2014-15 through 2023-24, and the parties confi rmed that those were no longer an obligation of the Stadium Authority and that the reimbursement of tho se expenses was deemed fully satisfied for said lea se years.

Public Safety Costs
In June 2019, StadCo filed an Arbitration Demand re garding alleged amounts due from the SCSA under the public safety costs terms of the Stadium Lease, for fiscal year 2017-18. According to the Stadium Leas e, StadCo is required to reimburse the City for the co sts incurred for providing public safety services f or NFL events that exceed the revenue from off-site parking permit fees. The Stadium Lease contains a provision that creates a "threshold" on the amount of public safety costs that StadCo must pay for each of the NFL seasons.

If the total public safety costs exceed the threshold, then the Stadium Lease requires the SCSA to reimburse or credit to StadCo the costs above the threshold in t he form of rent credits. The Stadium Lease includes an obligation for StadCo to negotiate a threshold increase in good faith if the total costs are over the threshold for three consecutive years. The SCSA invoked the good faith negotiation process after costs exceeded the threshold for three seasons, which was in advance of the incurred public safety costs for fiscal year 2017-18.

StadCo filed several amended Arbitration Demands or formal demand letters for public safety costs damages for the subsequent NFL seasons and fiscal years 201 9-20, 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24 and SCSA filed related response cross-claims in that arbitration.

The Ground Lease contains provisions that provide, in the event that public safety costs exceed the threshold and those amounts are not paid by SCSA’s Discretionary Fund, SCSA is entitled to deduct credits from SCSA’s performance-based rent payments to the City. Both t he performance-based rent credit from the City and rent credit from the SCSA expire in the next five succeeding years if not used within the year incurred. The public safety costs, threshold amount and calculations, and credits were part of the Public Safety Cost arbitration with StadCo.

The 2024 Settlement Agreement will resolve the publ ic safety cost arbitration (Note 6G). Upon the Fina l Effective Date, the parties agreed that approximate ly $14.8 million of NFL public safety costs over th e threshold are owed to StadCo by the Stadium Authority related to fiscal years 2017-18 through 2023-24. This number was approximate in the 2024 Settlement Agree ment because, at the time that settlement was signe d, the final FY 2023-24 actual NFL public safety costs had not been finalized. Per the 2024 Settlement Agreement, this specific past-due amount of public safety costs will be paid over time and it will not be considered or treated as “Credited Public Safety Costs” that affect performance-based rent and rent calculations going forward. This allows the Stadium Authority to pay the City the full performance-based rent owed for fiscal years 2022-23 and 2023-24. Now that the FY 2023-24 NFL public safety costs have been finalized, the Stadium Authority has recorded a $14.7 million “Public Safety Cost 2024 Outstanding Balance” payable and operating expense as of March 31, 2024.

Rent increases are scheduled as follows: 10% in the eleventh year and every five ye ars thereafter during the initial term and 15% in t he first and sixth year of each option term. Under the terms of the lease, CarrAmerica assumed responsibility for all taxes and assessments levied against the Techmart p arcel and the Lessor’s interest in the ground lease is unsubordinated to any other financing. On July 13, 2006, CarrAmerica merged with Nantucket Acquisition , Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Blackstone G roup; the terms and conditions of the lease agreeme nt remain in effect.

The lease is for an initial term of 50 years. The Lessee has options to renew the lease for four additional periods of t en years each and one additional period of nine yea rs.

However, internal service funds are still presented separately in the Fund financial statements, inclu ding the funds below.
