ALPR Parking Technology Refresh
City Council Meeting
February 24, 2025
Background
• Mobile Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) has been utilized in Seal Beach since the initiation of the smart parking technology program in 2017 and (besides our people)is the central pillar that our parking enforcement and animal control programs are built upon
• In 2019, the City was recognized for the innovative use of integrated parking technology (first end-to-end parking technology solution on the West Coast)
• Throughout the City, parking is based on the license plate which optimizes the program and provides a more efficient operation Background
• The current ALPR technology has exceeded the life cycle (impacting program effectiveness and reductions in parking revenue) • Budget allocation was authorized to proceed with an ALPR technology refresh for 6 vehicles
• SBPD has direct experience with the 2 integrated mobile LPR companies (Genetec & Motorola)
• Motorola failed to provide the support required by the City’s smart parking technology program
Why Genetec?
● Complex & customized nature of the associated Genetec equipment and software
○ Able to optimize existing infrastructure and integrations with continuity and consistency with patrol & parking fleet vehicles ○ Simplifies maintenance and maximizes interoperability ● Switching vendors would require substantial increases to unnecessarily replace components and needlessly complicate reimplementation efforts (which would exceed budget allocation) Invitation to Bid
• 3 qualified, experienced and licensed Genetec distributors who support the West Coast region with municipal, parking and law enforcement experience were solicited on October 16, 2024 • The Invitation to Bid included a detailed scope of work, submission criteria and evaluation guidelines
• Each distributor completed an onsite inspection of the existing infrastructure with Police Department staff the week of November 5, 2024
• Proposals were received from each distributor on November 26, 2024.

Vendor Selection
• Proposals were received from Route 1 (incumbent), Eye P Solutions and ComSonics
• After thorough review of the proposals received, Route 1 and ComSonics were shortlisted and references were contacted • Existing concerns about responsiveness and consistency with Route 1 were confirmed by other agencies
• ComSonics has provided the most cost-effective and complete proposal to the City that includes support and overall coverage Financial & Service Impact
Impact to current revenue
• In 2023, our operations resulted in approximately 22,900 citations. SCSOs PAs handled over 6,000 service calls. However, ongoing equipment failures are significantly hampering the effectiveness of SCSOs and PAs. This decrease in efficiency is expected to worsen as equipment issues persist. • We anticipate several negative outcomes if immediate action is not taken:

1. A substantial decline in parking revenue

2. Increased response times for service calls

3. SCSO and PO safety issues

4. Significant disruptions to Animal Control and Jail services Budget Allocation
• The approved budget allocation for this project was $242,608 • ComSonics proposal is approximately $214,000
• Cost savings = Approximately $30,000 which can be invested in other aspects of the technology configuration
• Recurring costs, such as licensing fees, and routine management costs outside of the established warranty and agreements are to be budgeted for in the Police Department technology budget. • We recommend that a portion of the annual parking revenue be set aside in anticipation of preventative maintenance and the inevitable technology updates and upgrades that will be required in the future.

From Brea,
I Appreciate You Taking The Time To Write Me A Letter. I Have Been Seeking To "Agendize" This Topic Twice As Long As You Have Worked In Seal Beach. Read That Again. Since You Know All My Information, I Formally Request My June 2016 Seal Beach Police Report In Which I Decriminalized Possession Of Psychedelics In Seal Beach (SB 16 1427) To Be Presented To City Council As Supplementary Material To My Public Comment. I Am Just Trying To Love My Neighbor As Myself. I Was Not Intimidating Anyone Or Disrupting Anything, Only Emphasizing The De Facto Law Vs. The De Jure Law. I Simply Wanted To Respond To Mike's Answer To Lisa Which Was Not "Plainly Correct" As There Are Numerous Cities In California That Have Decriminalized Psilocybin Mushrooms For Years Now, But Both Of You Have Chosen To Lie By Omission On Separate Occasions. Do You Believe You Have Told The Whole Truth When Speaking On The Legality Of Psilocybin Mushrooms In California? I Am Allowed To Make Gestures And Clap My Hands As I Do (And Everyone Does) In Every City Council Meeting.

Your Letter Fails To Cite The Requested Specific City Law That Determines Where The Public May Stand. There Are No Clear Markings Determining Where "The Well" Is, And The Black Metal Bar Is For People With Disabilities. I Refused Mike's Order To Back Away Because I Did Not Know If That Was A Lawful Order, And I Still Do Not Know If It Is Because Of Your Failure To Cite Sources In Your Letter. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/daylighting Anytime Psychedelics Are Spoken About In A Seal Beach City Council, I Believe I Deserve A Chance To Speak As A Witness As I Have The Experience. In Addition, I Am Using Meta-communication In Order To "Agendize" The Process By Which We "Agendize", So Actually, I Am On Topic In A Discussion Of The "Agenda" Whenever I Give My Public Comment. Failing To "Agendize" Topics Deemed "Not Within The Subject Matter Jurisdiction Of The City Council" May Be "Commonplace", But Is It Not "Fair" To The Community Residents And Workers That Seek Help Mentally, Emotionally, And Spiritually. Many That May Seek Help Are Veterans, First Responders, Elderly, Disabled, Suicidal, Depressed, Traumatized, Addicted, Faithless, Etc. That Have Uncomfortable Truths And Struggles.

Do You Respect My First Amendment Right To Practice My Faith By Eating The Flesh And Blood Of Jesus Christ According To The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) (1993) And Gonzales v. O Centro Espirita Beneficente Uniao do Vegetal (2006)? If So, Can I Get That In Writing? If You Have To Lose In A Trial Attempting To Prosecute Me, So Be It. I Have More Than Enough Evidence To Defend Myself.

The City Asks, For "I Have Food To Eat That You Know Nothing About." (John 4:32) Language was not simply a tool for survival; it was born from the sacred paradox of violence and revelation.

Anthropologist René Girard's theory of mimetic violence suggests that human culture originates in cycles of conflict, resolved through the scapegoating mechanism, in which a victim is collectively sacrificed to restore social order (Girard, Violence and the Sacred, 1972). The connection between violence and sacred revelation is also present in Walter Burkert's Homo Necans (1983), where he argues that ritual sacrifice played a crucial role in the emergence of human social structures and symbolic thought.

The scapegoat, who ingested the psilocybin mushroom and sang/danced as they were murdered, became the first shaman and the first speaker of human language. Ethnobotanist Terence McKenna proposed in Food of the Gods (1992) that psilocybin mushrooms played a pivotal role in the cognitive evolution of early humans, enhancing linguistic capabilities and spiritual experiences. Michael Harner, in The Way of the Shaman (1980), documents how shamans in indigenous cultures use psychoactive substances to enter altered states of consciousness, often involving ecstatic singing and dancing. Shamanic figures frequently occupied a liminal position in society, 2 sometimes revered and sometimes persecuted, paralleling the scapegoat archetype (Eliade, Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy, 1951).

Their song/dance in the throes of death were the first sacred utterances, giving birth to language as a divine technology. David Lewis-Williams, in The Mind in the Cave (2002), argues that early human symbolic thought— expressed through cave art, ritual, and possibly early language—originated in altered states of consciousness, often induced by shamanic experiences. The idea of language as a divine gift is also found in religious traditions, such as in Genesis 2:19, where Adam names the animals, signifying the sacred act of speech.

This language, rooted in violence, would evolve into the stories, rituals, and myths that shaped human culture's knowledge of good and evil. Mythographer Joseph Campbell describes in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949) how mythic narratives encode fundamental moral struggles, often rooted in sacrificial violence. The Genesis account of Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1-16) exemplifies this connection between violence and the emergence of moral awareness. Girard further argues in Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World (1978) that myths obscure the scapegoating mechanism, transforming acts of collective violence into foundational cultural narratives.

The ultimate revelation of language’s purpose, however, came with the death of Jesus Christ, who exposed the cycle of violence and offered humanity a path of love and transcendence to eternal life. Girard interprets the Gospels as a revolutionary text that demystifies the scapegoat mechanism, making Jesus the innocent victim whose sacrifice unveils the violent foundations of human culture (I See Satan Fall Like Lightning, 1999). The crucifixion of Christ, narrated in the Gospels (e.g., Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19), is the climax of this revelation, demonstrating both the injustice of scapegoating and the possibility of redemption beyond violence.

The words of Christ, spoken during his life and especially during his crucifixion, fulfill the original utterances of the scapegoat. Jesus' final words, particularly “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34), echo the function of the original sacrificial victim while subverting the cycle of violence through forgiveness. This radical shift fulfills the prophetic tradition, as seen in Isaiah 53:7, which describes the suffering servant who is “led like a lamb to the slaughter” but does not retaliate.

The Gospel of John affirms this in the Logos doctrine (John 1:1-14), where language (the Word) is presented not merely as a human invention but as the divine principle of creation and reconciliation. Girard (1999) and theologian James Alison (The Joy of Being Wrong, 1998) argue that Christ’s revelation permanently alters humanity’s relationship with violence, offering an alternative founded on love and forgiveness. παράκλητος - Paraklétos (John 15:26)
Advocate, Helper, Comforter, Counselor
The Term "Paraklétos" Is Used In The New Testament To Describe Someone Who Is Called To Aid, Support, Or Intercede On Behalf Of Another. In A Legal Context, It Refers To An Advocate Or Legal Assistant. In A Broader Sense, It Signifies A Helper Or Comforter Who Provides Encouragement And Support. In The New Testament, "Paraklétos" Is Primarily Used To Describe The Holy Spirit, who acts as a divine helper and guide for believers.

Derived From The Greek Verb παρακαλέω (Parakaleó), Meaning "To Call To One's Side," "To Summon," Or "To Comfort."

The audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatements.

The 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is included as Attachment C for information and use. The ACFR will be submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association to be considered for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The City has won the award for 22 consecutive years.

The purpose of the Audit Communication Letter (Attachment A) is to provide a mechanism for communication with the governing body, highlighting significant issues that may arise during the audit process. As indicated, the City’s financial statements were clearly presented.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Seal Beach
Seal Beach, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Seal Beach (the “City”) for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated May 24, 2024.

Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 100 – Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 62. No other new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during 2024. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements were:
 Management’s estimate of the investment fair market value is based on information provided by U.S. Bank, the custodial of the investments in the U.S. treasury securities, U.S. government sponsored enterprise securities, asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, corporate notes, negotiable certificates of deposit and bank notes based on institutional bond quotes and certificate of deposit pricing. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the investment fair market value in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Seal Beach
Seal Beach, California

Page 2 ends

 Management’s estimate of the depreciation and amortization on capital assets is based on the industry standard and past experience on actual useful life of the asset groups. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the depreciation on capital assets in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.  Management’s estimate of the net other postemployment benefits (“OPEB”) liability is based on the actuarial valuation on total OPEB liability and financial statements on fiduciary net position. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the OPEB liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.  Management’s estimate of the net pension liabilities is based on the actuarial valuation on proportionate share of total pension liability and based on audited financial statements on fiduciary net position for CalPERS plans. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the net pension liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements were:
 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 Note 9 – Defined Benefit Pension Plans
 Note 10 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) Plan  Note 14 – Individual Fund Disclosure
 Note 15 – Prior Period Adjustments
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.

Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors’ report.

We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated January 29, 2025.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors’ opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), the Budgetary Comparison Schedules, the Schedule of the City’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedule of the Contributions – Pensions, the Schedule of Changes in Net Other Postemployment Benefits Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedule of Contributions – Other Postemployment Benefits, which are required supplementary information (the “RSI”) that supplement the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

We were engaged to report on the Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.

We were not engaged to report on the Introductory and the Statistical Sections, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

Restriction on Use
This information is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of the City and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Very truly yours,

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND

ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Seal Beach
Seal Beach, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”), the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Seal Beach, California (the “City”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated January 29, 2025.

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting (“internal control”) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Seal Beach
Seal Beach, California

Page 2 ends

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and Citizens of the City of Seal Beach:

City of Seal Beach staff is pleased to submit for your information the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Seal Beach (City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Responsibility for both the accuracy of presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation including all disclosures rests with the City. In our opinion, the data is accurate in all material aspects, is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the City and contains all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial affairs.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP) as promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB). This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these presentations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse, and to compile reliable information for the preparation of this report in conformity with GAAP. As management, we assert to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects within the reasonable assurance of the internal control framework.

The City’s financial statements have been audited by The Pun Group, a public accounting firm fully licensed and qualified to perform audits of the state and local governments within the State of California.

The audit was designed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial statements are free of material misstatement. The independent auditor concluded, based on the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City of Seal Beach’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, are fairly presented in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.

GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statement in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with that section.

The City’s MD&A is immediately following the report of the independent auditors in the financial section of the ACFR.

PROFILE OF THE CITY
In 1904 J.C. Ord, a Civil War veteran, hired a 30–mule team to bring his small general store building from Los Alamitos to Bay City, where he set it down at the southwest corner of what is now known as Main Street and Electric Avenue.

J.C. Ord was one of five trustees voted into office in October 1915, the second Mayor, Postmaster, and the first Judge. His store on Main Street was the Post Office and Court House and the Jail House when it was necessary.
ii
On October 27, 1915, the City was incorporated and governed by an elected five-member council. The new City had an area of 1.25 square miles with a population of 250. Bay City was renamed Seal Beach in August 1913 as part of a marketing re-branding by the Guy M. Rush Realty Company.

Another area of Seal Beach, Surfside Colony, was founded in 1929 and is credited as the one of the first beach resort communities of its type on the West Coast, following Santa Monica, Malibu Colony and Anaheim Landing.

In early 1944 during World War II, the Navy purchased most of the land around Anaheim Landing to construct the United States Navy's Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach (NWS SB) for loading, unloading, and storing of ammunition for the Pacific Fleet. Today, NWS SB is the Navy’s primary West Coast ordnance storage, loading, and maintenance installation. Located entirely within NWS SB is the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, which was established in 1972 and protects habitat for threatened and endangered species.

Meanwhile Leisure World, a retirement community which comprises nearly a third of the city’s residents, opened in 1962. Construction of homes in the College Park East and West neighborhoods occurred in the early 1960s.

The City has an area of 13.23 square miles and sits on the coast as the gateway to Orange County between the cities of Long Beach and Huntington Beach and currently has a population of 24,350.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Local economy: Although the focus of this Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is the financial condition of the City at June 30, 2024, it may be best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates. The City has experienced a strong economic recovery after the challenging financial environment caused by the pandemic. As consumer demand increased and services returned to normal, the City ended the fiscal year in a positive position.

Overall, the City’s General Fund revenue for the fiscal year increased by $4.0 million from the prior year.

This increase is mostly due to payments regarding the pier repairs and interest rate increases.

Property tax is the City’s largest General Fund revenue source with revenues of $15.4 million, an increase of 6.4 percent over the prior fiscal year. Sales tax is the second largest General Fund revenue source with revenues of $11.5 million including transaction tax, a decrease of 1.5 percent from the prior year.

Additionally, Transient Occupancy Tax was $1.9 million, a decrease of 0.2 percent, relatively flat from the previous year. The increase in Property Tax is due to the continued robust housing demographics in the City. The slight decrease in Sales Tax, compared to the prior year, is primarily due to a slowdown in the fuel and service stations industry and consumer spending shifting from goods to experiences like dining and entertainment.

Long-term financial planning: The City of Seal Beach continues to implement cost saving measures while providing the core services for our residents, businesses, visitors, and to protect all essential services that contribute to the high quality of life our residents expect. On a yearly basis, the City Council sets goals and priorities for the future. Each year the City develops a Five-Year Financial Outlook which is the guiding document for long-range fiscal planning and serves as the framework for development of the next adopted budget. The outlook is included in the budget process and incorporates a range of information on items that influence projected revenues and anticipated appropriation needs over the next five fiscal years. These projections inform the City Council and the public of the long-term costs of programs in the context of the City’s overall General Fund budget and projected revenue growth. In November 2024, Measure GG passed in Seal Beach with 68% voter approval, implementing a 0.5 percent increase in the local sales tax to support current essential City services and will begin in 2025. iii
The City continues to be in good financial health due to its stable tax base, disciplined fiscal decisions, and strong governance. Conservative budgeting and sound financial policies have resulted in reserve levels that meet City Council policy. The City Council adopted policy seeks to maintain the reserve level between 20 to 25 percent of the General Fund adopted appropriations. The reserve may be used at the discretion of the City Council to provide resources during temporary decreases in revenues, in the event of an economic downturn while expenditure reductions are implemented, or to provide resources to meet emergency expenditures in the case of flood, fire, earthquake, landslides, or other natural disasters. At June 30, 2024, the reserve balance was $10.5 million or 22.0 percent of the final operating budget.

Major initiatives: The Strategic Plan goals are approved and/or affirmed by the City Council each year.

Priorities included Organizational Efficiencies, Community Outreach and Capital Projects, Housing Element Updates, Local Coastal Plan, Fiscal Sustainability, Flooding, and Public Safety. Highlights of this year’s major initiatives reflect the City’s commitment to sustaining the community’s quality of life and fiscal health. Key accomplishments include enhancing public safety services through funding for emergency response and community policing, upgrading critical infrastructure such as streets and recreational facilities, and maintaining essential transportation programs like the senior shuttle and the micro-transit pilot program. The City also prioritized preserving beaches and neighborhoods, reducing the unfunded pension liability, and fostering community engagement. Notable achievements include the completion of the new Tennis and Pickleball Center, a major beach sand restoration project recovering nearly 2 million cubic feet lost to storm erosion, and revisions to the Housing Element. Despite volatile economic conditions, the City remained fully operational, reinstated live recreational programs, and continued to deliver essential services to the community.

FINANCIAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Internal control structure: Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure. Internal accounting controls are designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse, and that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance, that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of the control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits require estimates and judgment by management.

Budgetary controls: The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Seal Beach’s financial planning and control. The City Council adopts an annual budget and appropriates the funds necessary to provide the services and operations for the fiscal year. The City Manager may make appropriation transfers within and between departments which do not result in an increase in appropriations. The City of Seal Beach City Council must approve all appropriation changes that result in an increase in appropriations.

AWARDS
GFOA Award Program – Annual Comprehensive Financial Report The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Seal Beach for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. This was the twenty-second consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.

iv
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. City staff believe that our current Annual Comprehensive Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA again this year for award.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council of the City of Seal Beach
Seal Beach, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Seal Beach, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the basic financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council of the City of Seal Beach
Seal Beach, California

2 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinions.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
 exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.  conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Budgetary Comparison Schedules, the Schedule of the City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedules of Contributions – Pensions, the Schedule of Changes in Net Other Postemployment Benefits Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedule of Contributions – Other Postemployment Benefits be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the Required Supplementary Information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council of the City of Seal Beach
Seal Beach, California

3 Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory and Statistical Sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 29, 2025 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

City of Seal Beach
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
5 Management of the City of Seal Beach is pleased to offer this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, along with comparisons to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. All increases and decreases are expressed relative to fiscal year 2022-2023. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal and the City’s financial statements.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
 The City’s net position – the difference between its assets and deferred outflows of resources compared to its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources – was $144.0 million, an increase of $3.8 million or 2.7%. The net position of governmental activities increased by $5.1 million or 5.4%, while the net position of businesstype activities decreased by $1.4 million or 3.0%.  The net position of $144.0 million consisted of $117.0 million of net investment in capital assets; $9.9 million of resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used; $3.5 million that may be used to meet the City’s obligations for its governmental activities; and $13.6 million to meet obligations for its business-type activities.
 Total revenues were $63.8 million and total expenses were $60.0 million. Revenues increased by $4.9 million or 8.3%, and expenses increased by $15.0 million or 33.3%.  As of the close of the fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $46.6 million, representing an increase of $2.1 million or 5.7%. Of this amount, $11.2 million (the sum of assigned and unassigned fund balances) is available for spending at the City’s discretion.  At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance in the General Fund was $5.2 million or 10.8% of total General Fund expenditures and transfers out.
 The City’s Reserve Fund Policy aims to maintain a minimum balance in the Fiscal Policy Reserve equal to approximately three months’ worth of the City’s General Fund operating expenditures. As of June 30, 2024, the Committed-Fiscal Policy Reserve has a balance of $10.5 million, or 24.0% of General Fund expenditures (less transfers out related to capital projects). This percentage aligns with the City’s goals and is in accordance with the recommendation of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.

Government-Wide Financial Statements – The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a view of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.

The Statement of Net Position presents information on all assets and liabilities, deferred outflows and inflows with the difference between them reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net position are one indicator of whether its financial condition is improving or deteriorating.

City of Seal Beach
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
6 The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. These changes are reported on a full accrual basis when the economic event occurs. regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Both government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government and administration, public safety, development services, public works, recreation, and all its component units that are legally separate but whose activities entirely support the City of Seal Beach. The business-type activities of the City include water and sewer operations.

The government-wide financial statements can be found immediately following this discussion and analysis.

Fund Financial Statements – The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds and other funds – not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law and by bond covenants. However, management established many other funds to help control and manage money for particular purposes or to verify that all legal requirements for using certain taxes, grants, and other resources are being satisfied.

The City’s three types of funds are governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds.

Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on how money flows in and out of those funds and the balances 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 fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. The differences of results in the Governmental Fund financial statements to those in the government-wide financial statements are explained in a reconciliation following each of the Governmental Fund financial statements.

The City maintains individual governmental funds organized by their type (general, special revenue, debt service, and capital improvements funds). Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the General Fund and Capital Projects and Equipment Capital Projects Fund, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of the other governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements and schedules elsewhere in this report.

The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund, Debt Service Fund, and all of the Special Revenue Funds. Budgetary comparison statements have been provided to demonstrate compliance with this budget.

The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found immediately following the government-wide financial statements.

Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. In fact, the City’s enterprise funds are comprised of the business-type activities reported in the government-wide statements but provide more detail and additional information such as a statement of cash flows. Customer charges for various City services are generally reported in proprietary funds. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found immediately following the governmental funds financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
7 Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity, or as an agent for other governmental entities, private organizations, or individuals. All the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate statement of fiduciary net position and a statement of changes in fiduciary net position. These activities are excluded from the City’s government-wide financial statement because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found immediately following the proprietary funds financial statements.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements – The notes provide additional information that is essential to fully understand the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found immediately following the fiduciary funds financial statements.

Required Supplementary Information (Unaudited) and Supplementary Information – In addition to the required elements of the basic financial statements, a required supplementary information section concerning the City’s progress in funding it obligation to provide pension and other post-employment benefits to City employees is included. Also included in this section are the budgetary comparison schedules for the general and major funds. The required supplementary information can be found immediately following the notes to the basic financial statements.

Combining statements and individual fund statements for non-major governmental funds, internal service and custodial funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The Government-wide Financial Analysis focuses on the City’s net position and changes in net position resulting from the City’s activities as a whole.

Analysis of Net Position – As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position.

City of Seal Beach
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
8 As of June 30, 2024, the City continued to report positive balances in all three categories of net position for the government as a whole.

Net position – Net investment in capital assets ($117.0 million or 81.2% of total net position) represents capital assets, such as land, buildings, infrastructure, and equipment, less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. This is an overall increase of $3.1 million, or 2.7%. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to the citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

Net position – Restricted ($9.9 million or 6.9% of total net position) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. This is a decrease of $0.4 million, or 4.2%. The majority of this decrease occurred in restrictions for public works, which decreased $0.7 million, or 12.3%.

Net position – Unrestricted ($17.1 million or 11.9% of total net position) represents an increase of $1.1 million or

7.0%. The governmental activities unrestricted of $3.5 million is an increase of $2.6 million or 301.5% as a result of the effect of implementing Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) statements related to pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liabilities. The total deferred inflows of resources on pension plans decreased by $2.4 million as a result of net differences between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments. Generally accepted accounting principles require financial statement recording when a liability is incurred. However, the City, like many other governments, raises and budgets resources needed to liquidate certain liabilities during the year in which the liability is to be liquidated rather than during the year in which the liability is incurred. The City will continue to fund these obligations on an actuarial basis, contributing the full amount of annual required contributions every year.

Analysis of Activities – The City’s net position increased by $3.8 million or 2.7%. The following Table 2 provides a summary of the City’s operations for the years ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023. 2024 2023* 2024 2023* 2024 2023*

Governmental Activities Business-Type Activities Total Activities City of Seal Beach
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
9 Governmental Activities experienced an increase of $5.1 million in net position as of June 30, 2024, compared to an increase of $13.7 million at June 30, 2023. The reason for this year-to-year net increase of $5.1 million is due to increases of $4.2 million in revenues in addition to increases to total expenditures of $12.0 million.

The overall net change in revenues is due to recognizing 1) payments received regarding the pier, and 2) increases in use of money and property due to rising interest rates throughout the fiscal year.

The cost of all governmental activities during the current fiscal year was $49.5 million, which is a $12.0 million increase from fiscal year 2022-2023. The majority of this increase was due to pension expenses increasing by $3.1 million (refer to Note 9 of the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements for further analysis of the pension expense). The largest operating cost was comprised of Public Safety, representing 54.4% of total governmental expenditures compared to 53.6% of total governmental expenditures in fiscal year 2022-2023.

Business-type Activities net position decreased by $1.3 million. The City is in the process of an updated water and sewer rate study that will be conducted in 2025. Increases in operating costs were mostly due to repairs and imported water. The net position decreased by nearly $1.3 million from operations. During the year, business-type activities paid $0.7 million in administrative costs which were recorded as revenues to governmental activities.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF CITY FUNDS
The City uses fund accounting to provide proper financial management of the City’s resources and to demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.

Governmental funds – The objective of governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of June 30, 2024, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $46.6 million. Approximately $4.5 million, or 9.6% of this total amount, constitutes unassigned fund balance. The remainder of the fund balance is reported as nonspendable, restricted, committed, or assigned to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been designated to pay for encumbrances, loans, prepaid expenses, or advances to other funds or has been legally restricted for other purposes.

The General Fund ended the fiscal year with a fund balance of $39.5 million, representing a net increase of $1.9 million. In comparison, in the prior fiscal year, the General Fund had a net increase of $3.0 million to fund balance.

Fiscal year 2023-2024 had an increase of $4.1 million in revenues which was due to payments received from the pier and interest rate increases, offset by an increase in expenditures of $2.9 million. The primary reason for the increase in fund balance is due to revenues over expenditures of $6.2 million offset by net transfers of $4.3 million. Net transfers increased by $2.3 million compared to the prior fiscal year.

Total governmental fund revenues increased overall by $5.1 million or 10.2% due to collecting higher tax revenues; payments regarding the pier, offset by slight reductions in licenses and permits and fines and forfeitures, and by increases in interest earnings due to rising interest rates throughout the fiscal year which caused an increase in the fair value of investments as of June 30. Overall expenditures increased by $6.0 million or 12.9%, as the City continued to support essential City services and support to residents and businesses.

Proprietary funds – The City’s proprietary funds financial statements provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Unrestricted net position totaled $3.2 million and $10.4 million for the Water and Sewer Funds, respectively. The Water Fund had an operating loss of $0.8 million and the Sewer Fund also had an operating loss of $0.8 million. The City is currently going through a rate study that may address this.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
10 GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
When preparing its budget, the City attempts to estimate its revenues using realistic, but conservative methods to budget its expenditure appropriations in a prudent manner. Amendments were approved during the fiscal year to the adopted budget. The fiscal year 2023-2024 General Fund’s revenue budget was adopted at $46.4 million and had amendments to taxes and intergovernmental, offset by fined and forfeitures of $1.5 million. The fiscal year 2023- 2024 General Fund’s original (adopted) budget for expenditures was $45.8 million, and the final budget was $47.8 million, a net increase of $2.0 million. The largest change was an increase of $1.3 million in Public Works due to rising labor and material cost. This increase also resulted from certain legacy contracts, which historically had lower costs, now coming in at higher amounts upon expiration and rebid.

The General Fund balance reflected a net total positive budget variance of $16.8 million when comparing actual amounts to the final amended budget for the current fiscal year. Actual revenues show a positive variance of $3.9 million or 8.4% of the final budget due to unanticipated receipts of taxes and insurance reimbursement revenues due to a case settlement. Actual expenditures of $44.2 million generated budgetary savings of $3.6 million, or 7.6% of the final budget mostly due to savings in Public Works stemming from several factors, including (1) several unexpected vacancies that were not filled promptly, which, in turn, impacted the ability to carry out the planned work; (2) funds were allocated for emergency-related purposes due to uncertain climate conditions, but not all those funds were utilized; (3) the message to overall reduce City-wide expenditures to meet future-year funding availability; and (4) carry-over of encumbrances of work that straddled two or more fiscal years. Additionally, although capital outlay was budgeted, project delivery extended across multiple fiscal years, and changes in project scope led to expenditures being lower than anticipated.

CAPITAL ASSETS
The City’s capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2024, total $121.8 million compared to $121.6 million (net of accumulated depreciation and amortization) as of June 30, 2023. The investment in capital assets includes land, land easements, building and improvements, machinery and equipment, vehicles, infrastructure, leases, subscriptions and construction in progress as summarized in the following Table 3. Additional information on the City’s capital assets can be found in Note 5 in the notes to the basic financial statements. 2024 2023* 2024 2023* 2024 2023*

DEBT ADMINISTRATION
As of June 30, 2024, the City had bonded debt, lease liabilities, notes payable, subscription liabilities, claims payable, and compensated absence liabilities totaling $6.3 million compared to $7.7 million at the end of the fiscal year 2022- 2023. The City’s governmental activities maintained $2.3 million in lease revenue bonds, leases, subscription liabilities, claims payable, and compensated absences versus $3.1 million last fiscal year, representing a decrease of approximately $0.8 million. This decrease reflects the payoff of the fire station bond and the Climatec as well as interest and principal payments made during fiscal year 2023-2024 in addition to an increase to leases.

The City’s business-type activities debt decreased $.5 million from $4.5 million to $4.0 million. Debt in the businesstype activities consists of lease revenue bonds, State loans for water and sewer capital improvement projects, subscription liabilities and compensated absences. The decrease reflects interest and principal payments made during fiscal year 2023-2024.

A summary of outstanding debt can be found in the following Table 4, and additional information on the City’s longterm debt can be found in Note 6 in the basic financial statements. 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023

The City of Seal Beach economy and tax base continue to support core services for our residents, businesses, and visitors contributing to the high quality of life within the City. The City has largely emerged from the pandemicdepressed revenues due to improved economic activity. For the upcoming fiscal year, revenues are expected to continue to improve. However, challenges from high inflation and supply chain issues temper the recovering outlook.

City of Seal Beach
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
12 Property taxes are expected to increase as well, primarily from continued improvement in assessed value and the continued strength in the local real estate market.

The City prepared a balanced annual budget for fiscal year 2024-2025. Expenditures of the City were reduced to maintain the current level of service with capital improvement projects to be supported primarily by the City’s General Fund Balance. The revenue projections for the 2024-2025 budget year were conservative and determined in partnership with the City’s consultants.. In November 2024, Measure GG passed in Seal Beach with 68% voter approval, implementing a 0.5% increase in the local sales tax to support current essential City services and will begin in 2025. The City will continue to monitor revenue streams throughout the coming years and will adjust spending levels as necessary.

The most significant issues facing the City are the aged condition of the City’s infrastructure. The City has completed and adopted numerous infrastructure planning documents (i.e., Water Master Plan, Sewer Master Plan, Master Plan of Drainage, Facilities Master Plan, and Pavement Management Plan). These plans identify well over $160 million in needed improvements throughout the City. The City annually adopts a 5-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that strategically plans construction of these needed improvements. The fiscal year 2025-2029 CIP recommends approximately $35.6 million in improvements over the next 5 years, including $2.9 million for implementation of Revitalization projects. The 5-Year Capital Improvement Program identifies needs in the following areas: Buildings ($14.9M), Beach and Pier ($1.7M), Parks ($1.8M), Sewer System ($2.9M), Streets and Transportation ($11.0M), Storm Drain ($.7M), and Water System ($0.6M). It should be noted that a comprehensive Water System 5-Year CIP projection is not included and is deferred until a Water/Sewer Financial Plan/Rate Update is approved.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
45 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of Seal Beach, California, (the “City”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the City’s significant policies:

A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated on October 27, 1915, under the laws of the State of California and enjoys all the rights and privileges applicable to a charter city. It is governed by an elected five-member council. As required by U.S.

GAAP these financial statements present the City (the primary government and its component units). The component units discussed below are included in the reporting entity because of their operational or financial relationships with the City.

In evaluating how to define the City for financial reporting purposes, management has considered all potential component units. The primary criteria for including a potential component unit within the reporting entity are the governing body’s financial accountability and a financial benefit or burden relationship and whether it is misleading to exclude. A primary government is financially accountable and shares a financial benefit or burden relationship, if it appoints a voting majority of an organization’s governing body and it is able to impose its will on the organization, or if there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government. A primary government may also be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government regardless of whether the organization has a separately elected governing board, a governing board appointed by a higher level of government, or a jointly appointed board, and there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the primary government.

Blended Component Units
Management determined that the following entities should be reported as blended component units based on the criteria above. Although the following entities are legally separate from the City, they have been “blended” as though they are part of the City because the component units’ governing bodies are substantially the same as the City’s and there is a financial benefit or burden relationship between the City and the component units; and management of the City has operational responsibilities for the component units; and/or the component units provide services entirely, or almost entirely, to the City or otherwise exclusively, or almost exclusively, benefits the City, even though they do not provide services directly to it.

The Seal Beach Public Financing Authority (the “Authority”) was formed May 8, 2000, pursuant to Articles 1 through 4 of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the California Government Code, to create a joint exercise of powers authority between the City and the former Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency. The City Council of the City is the governing board. Management of the primary government has operational responsibility for the blended component unit. The Authority was formed to undertake the financing of public capital improvements.

On June 12, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6741, to create the Parking Authority, and the Parking Authority became a new member to the Authority. On the same date, the Successor Agency Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. SA 17-3, approving the Successor Agency’s withdrawal of its Authority membership. On June 28, 2017, the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency adopted Resolution No. OB17-03, approving such withdrawal. Resolution No. OB17-03 became effective upon the State of California Department of Finance’s approval, received by the Successor Agency on August 18, 2017. The Authority does not issue separate financial statements.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
46 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) A. Financial Reporting Entity (Continued)
Blended Component Units (Continued)
The Seal Beach Parking Authority (the “Parking Authority”) was formed on June 12, 2017, pursuant to the Part 2 of Division 18 of the California Streets and Highway Code. The Parking Authority is governed by the Board of Directors which is the City Council of the City of Seal Beach. The Parking Authority is blended into the general fund. The Parking Authority does not issue separate financial statements.

The Seal Beach Cable Communications Foundation (the “Foundation”) was organized under the laws of the State of California on August 27, 1984, to foster and promote civic advancement through activities related to cable communications, community promotion, and other public services deemed appropriate by the foundation. The Foundation is governed by a board of directors consisting of seven members, all appointed by the City Council of the City of Seal Beach. The Foundation is blended with the City as a special revenue fund. The Foundation does not issue separate financial statements.

B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. City resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.

Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are presented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, including capital assets, as well as infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. Fiduciary activities of the City are not included in these statements.

Certain types of transactions are reported as program revenues for the City in three categories:
 Charges for services
 Operating grants and contributions
 Capital grants and contributions
Certain eliminations have been made in regards to interfund activities, payables and receivables. All internal balances in the statement of net position have been eliminated. In the statement of activities, internal service fund transactions have been included in the governmental activities. The following interfund activities have been eliminated:
 Due from and to other funds, which are short-term loans within the primary government  Except between Governmental and Business-Type Activities, transfers in and out, which are flows of assets between funds without the requirement for repayment City of Seal Beach
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
47 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) Governmental Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending, or “current financial resources” measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets, current liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are included on the balance sheet. The statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances presents increases (revenue and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balances. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period.

Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except those revenues subject to accrual (generally 60 days after year-end) which are recognized when measurable and available. The primary revenue sources that have been treated as susceptible to accrual by the City are property taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other taxes.

Business license fees are recorded as received. Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred. An exception to this general rule is principal and interest on long-term debt which is recognized when due.

Reconciliations of the fund financial statements to the government-wide financial statements are provided to explain the differences.

The City reports the following major Governmental Funds:

General Fund – The General Fund is the City’s principal operating fund. It accounts for all revenues and expenditures used to finance the traditional services associated with a municipal government except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

Citywide Grants Special Revenue Fund – The Citywide Grants Special Revenue Fund is used to account for various Federal and State grants that are restricted to expenditures for specific projects or purposes.

Capital Projects and Equipment Capital Projects Fund – To account for major capital projects with various revenues sources but exclude the Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Fund. These sources get transferred into the Capital Projects and Equipment Projects Fund.

Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, and a Statement of Cash Flows for each major Proprietary Fund.

Proprietary funds are accounted for using the "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities (whether current or noncurrent), and deferred inflows of resources are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total Net Position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. In these funds, receivables have been recorded as revenue and provisions have been made for uncollectible amounts.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
48 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) Proprietary Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are those revenues that are generated from the primary operations of the fund. All other revenues are reported as non-operating revenues. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as non-operating expenses.

The City reports the following major Proprietary Funds:

Water Utility Enterprise Fund – This fund accounts for the capital, operation and maintenance of the City’s water distribution system.

Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund – This fund accounts for the financial transactions of the City’s wastewater collection system.

A separate column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, internal service balances and activities have been combined with the governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The City has a Vehicle Replacement Internal Service Fund and an Information Technology Internal Service Fund that provides services directly to other City funds.

Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary fund financial statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The City’s fiduciary funds represent custodial funds. The custodial funds are accounted for on the full accrual basis of accounting where the assets associated with the activity are controlled by the City and the assets are not derived 1) solely from the government’s own-source revenues or 2) from government-mandated nonexchange transactions or voluntary nonexchange transactions.

The City reports the following fiduciary fund:

Custodial Funds – To accounts for assets for the benefit of individuals and the City does not have administrative involvement with the assets or direct financial involvement with the assets or for the benefit of organizations or other governments that are not part of the City. In addition, the assets are not derived from the City’s provision of goods or services to those individuals, organizations, or other governments. The custodial funds account for the deposits for individuals and organizations and the debt service and related expenses for the Heron Pointe and Pacific Gateway Community Facility Districts.

C. Cash and Investments
The City’s cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. All cash and investments of proprietary funds are held in the City’s investment pool. These cash pools have the general characteristics of a demand deposit account, therefore, all cash and investments in the proprietary funds are considered cash and cash equivalents for statement of cash flows purposes.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
49 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) D. Fair Value Measurement
Investments, unless otherwise specified, recorded at fair value in the financial statements, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.

The three levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy are described below:
 Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
 Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

E. Property Taxes Receivable
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied providing they become available. Available means due, or past due and receivable within the current period and collected within the current period or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter (not to exceed 60 days) to be used to pay liabilities in the current period.

Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties at up to 1% of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool, and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas.

The property tax calendar is as follows:

Lien Date: January 1
Levy Date: July 1
Due Date: First Installment - November 1
Second Installment - February 1
Delinquent Date: First Installment - December 11
Second Installment - April 11
F. Lease Receivable
The City is a lessor for leases of land and buildings and recognizes leases receivable and deferred inflows of resources in the financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the lease receivable.

At the commencement of a lease, the lease receivable is measured at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. The City established a threshold of $50,000 for lease receivables. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflows of resources are initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflows of resources are recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term in a systematic and rational method. The City used the interest method of revenue recognition.

City of Seal Beach
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
50 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) F. Lease Receivable (Continued)
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts.  The City uses incremental borrowing rate (IBR) provided by the financial institution at July 1, 2021 for existing leases or the current rate at the time a new lease is executed.  The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease plus any option periods that are likely to be exercised.
 Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable are 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.

G. Prepaid Items
Prepaid items are payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond the fiscal year ended.

The City uses the consumption method to account for prepaid items.

H. Interfund Transactions
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as “due from/to other funds” (i.e., current portion of interfund loans). These are typically routine and temporary cash flow assistance from the General Fund to other funds in advance of receiving grant funds or other types of revenue.

Transactions which move resources from a fund receiving revenue to the fund through which the resources are expended are recorded as transfers.

I. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, buildings, improvements, equipment, furniture, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, sidewalks, and similar items), are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are valued at the estimated acquisition value on the date donated. City policy has set the capitalization threshold for reporting capital assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life of one year or more.

The City defines infrastructure as the basic physical assets that allow the City to function. The assets include street network, street appurtenances, and storm drains.

Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.

City of Seal Beach
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
51 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) I. Capital Assets (Continued)
The City established a threshold to recognize a right-to-use including lease asset or subscription-based information technology arrangements (“SBITA”) asset (“subscription assets”) in the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements right-to-use asset over $5,000.

Lease assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities and adjusted by any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term, less any lease incentives received at or before the commencement of the lease term along with any initial direct costs that are ancillary charges necessary to place the lease assets into service. Lease assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, unless the lease contains a purchase option that the City has determined is reasonably certain of being exercised. In this case, the lease asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset.

Subscription assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the SBITA liabilities (“subscription liabilities”) and adjusted by any subscription payments to the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term along with subscription implementation costs. Subscription assets are amortized over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT assets.

All other capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful using the straight-line method. The lives used for depreciation purposes are as follows:

Assets Years
Building and Improvements 20-99
Machinery and Equipment 5-50
Vehicles 4-10
Infrastructure 20-60
J. Unearned and Unavailable Revenue
Unearned revenue is reported for transactions for which revenue has not yet been earned. Typical transactions recorded as unearned revenues in the government-wide and fund financial statements are grant revenues received in advance.

In the governmental fund financial statements, unavailable revenue is reported when transactions have not yet met the revenue recognition criteria based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The City reports unavailable revenue when an asset is reported in governmental fund financial statements but the revenue is not collected within the availability period (within 60 days of year-end).

K. Compensated Absences Payable
City employees have vested interest in varying levels of vacation, sick leave and compensatory time based on their length of employment. It is the policy of the City to pay all accumulated vacation pay and all or a portion of sick pay when an employee retires or terminates. The long-term amount is included as a liability in the governmental activities of the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.

All of the liability for compensated absences applicable to proprietary funds is reported in those funds.

City of Seal Beach
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
52 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) L. Claims Payable
When it is probable that a claim liability has been incurred at year-end and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the City records the estimated loss, net of any insurance coverage under its selfinsurance program. Small dollar claims and judgments are recorded as expenditures when paid.

The City's self-insurance program is administered through California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA), which is described in Note 8 to the financial statements. The Authority is a public entity risk pool.

Claims losses recorded in the Authority include both current claims and incurred but not reported claims (IBNR).

Deposits to the Authority are recorded by the City as insurance expenditures in the General Fund when paid.

These deposits are subject to retrospective adjustment. Favorable claims experience in prior years results in a refund of deposits from the Authority and such refunds, if any, are recorded as prepaid items in the General Fund since they will be used to offset future deposit requirements. Adverse claims experience in prior years results in the payment of additional deposits and such deposits, if any, are recorded as insurance expenditures when incurred.

M. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the aggregate net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

The following timeframes are used for pension reporting:

Valuation Date June 30, 2022
Measurement Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Period July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023
Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.

Pension liabilities are liquidated principally by General Fund for the governmental activities.

N. Other Postemployment Benefits
For purposes of measuring the net other postemployment benefits (“OPEB)” liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

City of Seal Beach
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
53 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) N. Other Postemployment Benefits (Continued)
The following timeframes are used for OPEB reporting:

Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Period July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023
Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.

OPEB liabilities are liquidated principally by General Fund for the governmental activities.

O. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
The financial statements report separate sections for deferred outflows of resources, and deferred inflows of resources, when applicable.

Deferred Outflows of Resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods.

Deferred Inflows of Resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to future period.

P. Long-Term Liabilities
Long-term debt and other long-term liabilities are reported as liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method.

Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.

Q. Lease Liabilities
The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more with a lease term greater than one year in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance of the lessee or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the lease liability.

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.

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.

City of Seal Beach
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
54 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Q. Lease Liabilities (Continued)
 The City uses incremental borrowing rate provided by the financial institution or the current rate at the time a new lease is executed.
 The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
 Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease payable is composed of fixed payments to the lessor.

The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure any lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.

R. Subscription Liabilities
The City recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more with a subscription term greater than one year in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance of the City, usage of the underlying IT assets, or number of user seats are not included in the measurement of the subscription liability.

At the commencement of a subscription, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of subscription payments made.

Key estimates and judgments related to subscription liabilities include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments.
 The City uses incremental borrowing rate provided by the financial institution at July 1, 2022 for existing subscription or the current rate at the time a new subscription is executed.  The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the SBITA. Subscription payments included in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments.

The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its SBITA and will remeasure any subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability.

S. Net Position
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements, net position is classified as follows:

Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, capital related debt, deferred charges, and retention payable.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2024
55 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) S. Net Position (Continued)
Restricted – This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets.

Unrestricted – This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position.

When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, the City’s practice is to apply the restricted component of net position first, then use the unrestricted component of net position as needed.

T. Fund Balances
In the governmental fund financial statements, fund balances are classified as follows:

Nonspendable – Nonspendable fund balances include amounts that cannot be spent because they are not in a spendable form, such as unrestricted loans receivable or prepaid items, or because resources legally or contractually must remain intact.

Restricted – Restricted fund balances are the portion of fund balance that have externally enforceable limitations on their usage through legislation or limitations imposed by creditors, grantor, laws and regulations of other governments or enabling legislation.

Committed – Committed fund balances are self-imposed limitations by the highest level of decision-making authority, namely the City Council, prior to the end of the reporting period. City Council adoption of a resolution is required to commit resources or to rescind the commitment.

Assigned – Assigned fund balances are limitations imposed by management based on the intended use of the funds. Modifications or rescissions of the constraints can be removed by the same type of action that limited the use of the funds. Assignment of resources can be done by the highest level of decision making or by a committee or official designated for that purpose. The City Council has authorized the Finance Director for that purpose.

Unassigned – Unassigned fund balances represent the residual net resources in excess of the other classifications. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds, it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other than General Fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.

When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available, the City’s practice is to apply restricted fund balances first, then use unrestricted fund balances as needed.

When expenditures are incurred for purposes where only unrestricted fund balances are available, the City uses the unrestricted resources in the following order, except for instances wherein an ordinance specifies the fund balance: committed, assigned, then unassigned.

56 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) U. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the basic financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

V. Tax Abatement
Tax abatement is a reduction in tax revenues that results from an agreement between one or more governments and an individual or entity in which (a) one or more governments promise to forgo tax revenues to which they are otherwise entitled and (b) the individual or entity promises to take a specific action after the agreement has been entered into that contributes to economic development or otherwise benefits the governments or the citizens of those governments. City policy has set the threshold for disclosing tax abatement agreements greater than $50,000.

W. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncements
During fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City has implemented the following new GASB Pronouncements:

GASB Statement No. 100 – In June 2022, GASB issued Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 62. The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability.

A. Demand Deposits
The carrying amounts of the City’s demand deposits were $1,707,073 at June 30, 2024. Bank balances at that date were $2,223,911, the total amount of which was insured or collateralized with accounts held by the pledging financial institutions in the City’s name as discussed below.

The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City’s cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City’s name.

The fair value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City’s cash deposits. California law also allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the City’s total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements for cash deposits, which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The City, however, has not waived the collateralization requirements.

E. Risk Disclosures
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment is, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. The sensitivity of the fair values of the City's investments (including investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is as follows:

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code or the City's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of fiscal year end for each investment type.

N/A - Not applicable
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local government units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. At June 30, 2024, the City deposits (bank balances were insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 and the remaining balances were collateralized under California law.

A. Description of Self-Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Powers Agreement The City of Seal Beach (the “City”) is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (the “Authority”). The Authority is composed of 126 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates through a nine-member Executive Committee.

B. Primary Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. The total funding requirement for primary self-insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool.

71 Note 8 – Risk Management and Self Insurance Program (Continued) B. Primary Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority (Continued) Primary Liability Program
Claims are pooled separately between police and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $500,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.

The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence.

Subsidence losses also have a $50 million per occurrence limit. The coverage structure is composed of a combination of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and excess insurance. Additional information concerning the coverage structure is available on the Authority’s website: https://cjpia.org/coverage/risk-sharing-pools/.

Primary Workers' Compensation Program
Claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $75,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $75,000 to $200,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer.

74 Note 9 – Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Continued)
A. General Information about the Pension Plan (Continued) Benefit Provided (Continued)
An employee's beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee dies while actively employed. The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other pre-retirement death benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 6 percent per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six months' salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death.

Upon the death of a retiree, a one-time lump sum payment of $500 will be made to the retiree's designated survivor(s), or to the retiree's estate.

Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each employee’s retirement allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis by 2 percent.

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (“PERL”) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is based on the estimated amount necessary to pay the Plan's allocated share of the risk pool's costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the measurement period ended June 30, 2023 (the measurement date), the contribution rates were as follows:

Miscellaneous Rate PEPRA Miscellaneous Safety Rate PEPRA Safety Plan* Rate Plan Plan* Rate Plan

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability The June 30, 2022 valuation was rolled forward to determine June 30, 2023 total pension liability based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:

Actuarial Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions:

Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary Increases
Mortality Rate Table1
Post Retirement Benefit Increase Contract COLA up to 2.3% until Purchasing Power Protection Allowance Floor on Purchasing Power applies, 2.3% thereafter
Derived using CalPERS’ Membership Data for all Funds
Entry age normal in accordance with requirements of GASB 68 Varies by Entry Age and Service
1 The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. Mortality rates incorporate full generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the 2021 experience study report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.

Change of Assumption
In 2023, there were no changes in assumptions.

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

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

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Sensitivity of the City’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability of the Plan as of the measurement date, calculated using the discount rate of 6.90%, as well as what the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage-point lower (5.90%) or 1 percentage-point higher (7.90%) than the current rate:

The following is the approach established by the plan actuary to allocate the net pension liability and pension expense to the individual employers within the risk pool. (1) In determining a cost-sharing plan’s proportionate share, total amounts of liabilities and assets are first calculated for the risk pool as a whole on the valuation date (June 30, 2022). The risk pool’s fiduciary net position (“FNP”) subtracted from its total pension liability (“TPL”) determines the net pension liability (“NPL”) at the valuation date.
(2) Using standard actuarial roll forward methods, the risk pool TPL is then computed at the measurement date (June 30, 2023). Risk pool FNP at the measurement date is then subtracted from this number to compute the NPL for the risk pool at the measurement date. For purposes of FNP in this step and any later reference thereto, the risk pool’s FNP at the measurement date denotes the aggregate risk pool’s FNP at June 30, 2023 less the sum of all additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by all employers during the measurement period (2022-2023). (3) The individual plan’s TPL, FNP and NPL are also calculated at the valuation date. TPL is allocated based on the rate plan’s share of the actuarial accrued liability. FNP is allocated based on the rate plan’s share of the fair value assets.
(4) Two ratios are created by dividing the plan’s individual TPL and FNP as of the valuation date from (3) by the amounts in step (1), the risk pool’s total TPL and FNP, respectively.

B. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pension (Continued)
Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability and Pension Expense (Continued) (5) The plan’s TPL as of the Measurement Date is equal to the risk pool TPL generated in (2) multiplied by the TPL ratio generated in (4). The plan’s FNP as of the Measurement Date is equal to the FNP generated in (2) multiplied by the FNP ratio generated in (4) plus any additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by the employer on behalf of the plan during the measurement period. (6) The plan’s NPL at the Measurement Date is the difference between the TPL and FNP calculated in (5).

Deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and pension expense is allocate based on the City’s share of contributions during measurement period.

The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was as follows:

Miscellaneous Safety
June 30, 2022 0.14559% 0.28126%
June 30, 2023 0.14288% 0.27770%
Change - Increase (Decrease) -0.00271% -0.00356%
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized over 5-years straight line. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period.

The expected average remaining service lifetime (“EARSL”) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired) in the risk pool. The EARSL for risk pool for the 2022-2023 measurement period is 3.8 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 600,538 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 160,073 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired).

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.00%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the City contribution will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to cover all future OPEB payments. Therefore, the discount rate was set equal to the long-term expected rate of return.

Budgetary Control and Accounting Policy
The City prepares its budgets on the basis of estimated revenues and expenditures and, accordingly, the budget amounts included in the accompanying financial statements are presented on a basis substantially consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.

Encumbrance accounting is utilized during the fiscal year, whereby purchase orders, contracts and other commitments are recorded in order to control appropriations. However, at fiscal year end, all appropriations lapse. Accordingly, encumbrances are cancelled and generally are re-appropriated as part of the following year’s budget. Encumbrances are not included in reported expenditures.

Annual budgets are adopted for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and Capital Projects Funds. In fiscal year 2023-24, no budget was adopted for the Detention Center Special Revenue Fund. The City Council approves total budgeted appropriations and any amendments to appropriations throughout the year.

The budgetary level of control for all governmental fund types is the fund level. The City Manager has the discretion to transfer appropriations between departments within a fund, but transfers between funds must be approved by the City Council. 91 Measurement Date June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 City's Proportion of the Net Pension Liability 0.14288% 0.14559% 0.17295% 0.13777% 0.12949% City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability 17,825,226 $ 16,817,024 $ 9,353,495 $ 14,411,297 $ 13,320,233 $ City's Covered Payroll 5,535,460 $ 5,164,779 $ 5,162,753 $ 5,243,738 $ 4,721,968 $ City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability as a Percentage of its Covered Payroll 322.02% 325.61% 181.17% 274.83% 282.09% Plan's Proportionate Share of the Fiduciary Net Position as a Percentage of the Total Pension Liability 69.62% 69.62% 82.21% 71.73% 73.26% Measurement Date June 30, 2023 June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 City's Proportion of the Net Pension Liability 0.27770% 0.28126% 1.09047% 0.26123% 0.25611% City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability 34,643,664 $ 32,488,072 $ 18,526,366 $ 28,423,181 $ 26,243,693 $ City's Covered Payroll 6,331,975 $ 6,401,398 $ 5,805,955 $ 5,607,704 $ 5,137,216 $ City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability as a Percentage of its Covered Payroll 547.12% 507.52% 319.09% 506.86% 510.85% Plan's Proportionate Share of the Fiduciary Net Position as a Percentage of the Total Pension Liability 68.88% 68.88% 79.77% 70.11% 71.27% California Public Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS") Miscellaneous Plan California Public Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS") Safety Plan City of Seal Beach

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

Direct and Overlapping Property Tax Rates
Last Ten Fiscal Years
In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which sets the property tax rate at a

1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voterapproved bonds. The City receives only a portion of this basic 1% levy.

Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all overlapping rates apply to all city property owners. 157
