2019 Water Revenue Refunding Bonds
The City issued $6,946,300 in Series 2019 Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, to refund the 2010 Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series A. Proceeds from the 2019 Water Bonds were placed in escrow to refund the 2010 Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series A and to pay issuance costs. As a result, the 2010 Bonds are considered defeased and the liability has been removed from these financial statements. The 2010 Series A bonds were issued, in part, to finance improvements in the City’s water enterprise system. The interest rate on the bonds is
2.75% and principal and interest payments are due on the 1st of each month.
The City refunded the Series A Revenue Bonds to decrease total debt service payments by approximately $4.2 million and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values of the debt service payments on the old and new debt) of $3.8 million. All revenues from the City’s Water Enterprise are generally pledged to repayment of the 2019 Water Revenue Refunding Bonds. Annual revenues approximate $3.0 million per year. For the 2023- 24 fiscal year, net revenues were approximately $1.32 million, while total principal and interest payments totaled approximately $518,000. The bond indenture contains a provision that, in an event of default, outstanding amounts may become immediately due and payable.
The liability for the 2019 Water Revenue Refunding Bonds is reported in the Water Enterprise Fund. The Bonds are secured by revenues received from the operation of the Water Enterprise Fund. The City has covenanted to set rates and charges for the service and facilities of the Water Enterprise sufficient to provide net revenues each fiscal year equal to the aggregated annual amount of principal and interest due on all parity obligations for such fiscal year and sufficient to provide 100% of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due on all parity obligations and subordinate obligations for such fiscal year. The future debt service requirements are as follows:

6. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
General Information about the Defined Benefit Pension Plan Plan Descriptions – All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the Public Agency Cost-Sharing Multiple-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Plan) administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS.) The Plan consists of individual rate plans (benefit tiers) within a safety risk pool and a miscellaneous risk pool. Plan assets may be used to pay benefits for any employer rate plan of the safety and miscellaneous pools. Accordingly, rate plans within the safety or miscellaneous pools are not separate plans under GASB Statement No. 68. Individual employers may sponsor more than one rate plan in the miscellaneous or safety risk pools. The City sponsors five rate plans (two miscellaneous and three safety). Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.

6. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN - Continued
Benefits Provided – The Plan is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). A full description of the pension plan benefit provisions, assumptions for funding purposes but not accounting purposes, and membership information is listed in the June 30, 2022 Annual Actuarial Valuation Report. Details of the benefits provided can be obtained in Appendix B of the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuation report. This report is a publicly available valuation report that can be obtained at the CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications. The rate plan provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2024, are summarized as follows:
Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law 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. Funding contributions for the Plan are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
Beginning in fiscal year 2016, CalPERS collects employer contributions for the Plan as a percentage of payroll for the normal cost portion as noted in the rates above and as a dollar amount for contributions toward the unfunded liability. The dollar amounts are billed on a monthly basis. The City’s required contribution for the unfunded liability was $273,848 in fiscal year 2024. The City’s contributions to the Plan for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $910,315.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions As of June 30, 2024, the City reported a liability of $6,811,011 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability.
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2023, and the total pension liability for the Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022 rolled forward to June 30, 2023 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The City’s proportionate share of the Plan’s net pension liability as of June 30, 2023 and 2024 was as follows:
For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City recognized pension expense of $1,315,247. At June 30, 2024, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources:
The $910,315 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ending June 30, 2025. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized as pension expense as follows:
Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2022 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:

The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.
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 as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both shortterm and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as followed:

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 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 for the Plan, calculated using the discount rate for the Plan, 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 or 1-percentage point higher than the current rate:
Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position – Detailed information about the Plan’s fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued CalPERS financial reports.
Payable to the Pension Plan - At June 30, 2024, the City reported no payables to the pension plan, for outstanding contributions required for the year ended June 30, 2024.
7. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters, for which the City is a member of the Small Cities Organized Risk Effort (SCORE) through a joint powers agreement. SCORE provides liability and workers’ compensation coverage for its members by pooling risk.
Member cities participate in a Banking Plan for the first $25,000 of loss. The portion of loss greater than $25,000 but less than $250,000 is shared among the Member cities in the Shared Risk Pool. The JPA participates in the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA) for the portion of losses greater than $250,000. The JPA is comprised of twenty-one small cities located in Northern and Central California. Upon review of the application, a new member may be admitted by a three-quarters (3/4) vote of the board. Members may be expelled by a two-thirds (2/3) vote. Upon entry into the JPA, members may not voluntarily withdraw for a period of three years and in no case before the JPA's commitment to CJPRMA is satisfied. Members must submit six months written notice prior to voluntarily withdrawing. After withdrawal, a member may not re-enter the JPA for a period of three years.
The City makes payments to SCORE based on actuarial estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims and to establish a reserve for catastrophic losses. Claims liabilities of the City are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). The result of the process to estimate the claims liability is not an exact amount as it depends on many complex factors, such as inflation, changes in legal doctrines, and damage awards. Accordingly, claims are reevaluated periodically to consider the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends (including frequency and pay-out amounts), and other economic and social factors. 1% Decrease 5.90%

1. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Budgetary Control and Budgetary Accounting
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The City’s budget ordinance requires that in June of each year the City Administrator must submit a preliminary budget that includes projected expenditures and the means of financing them to the City Council for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. As modified during public hearing sessions, the preliminary budget becomes the proposed budget. Following public hearings on the proposed budget, the final annual budget is adopted by the City Council in June of the fiscal year. After adoption of the budget, transfers of appropriations within the general fund departments may be done by the City Administrator. Budget transfers within a department/fund may be done by department heads. Budget modifications between funds and increases in appropriations for expenditures to a fund’s overall budget must be approved by the City Council or Agency Board.
Revenues can be increased at any time without Council approval. Approval has to be made to spend it. Numerous properly authorized amendments are made during the fiscal year. The budget is modified again at mid-year, usually in February with updated revenue projections.
At fiscal year-end, all operating budget appropriations lapse with the exception of encumbered and continuing appropriations.

Subject: Consider Resolution No. 25-6497, authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with J.U.B.
Engineers, Inc. for design services (PS&E) for Riverside Dr.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Trail Project
Presented By: Erik Edholm, Asst. Director - Engineering Summary: The Riverside Drive Pedestrian and Bicycle Trail Project will provide a new Class I pedestrian and bicycle trail and bridge crossing over the Susan River. The project is intended to enhance safety and connectivity between residential neighborhoods and the city’s existing trail network.
The alignment begins at Riverside Park and extends approximately
0.36 miles east, terminating at the Susan River Trail.
Improvements will include a 10-foot asphalt concrete path, 2-foot decomposed granite shoulders, pedestrian-scale lighting, and a pedestrian/bicycle bridge approximately 298 feet in length.
The project will replace unsafe pedestrian conditions along Riverside Drive, providing a fully separated, ADA-compliant, multimodal facility.
Funding for the project’s design phase is provided through the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The
Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) and Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED) phases are complete, and the project has received environmental clearance under both NEPA and CEQA through adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND).
On October 8, 2025, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP #25-02) for qualified engineering firms to prepare final design documents (PS&E). The RFP was advertised on the City’s
website, Intermountain News, and building exchanges and plan rooms consistent with Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM) Chapter 10 and CUPCCAA procedures.
By the proposal deadline of October 29, 2025, two proposals were received from J.U.B. Engineers, Inc and NST Engineering. A review panel evaluated the proposals and determined J.U.B.
Engineers, Inc. demonstrated the necessary qualifications and a
thorough understanding of Caltrans PS&E processes, bridge design, trail layout, ADA standards, and STIP documentation requirements.
The proposed agreement will be structured as a Cost-Plus-FixedFee (CPFF) contract, with the City Manager authorized to negotiate a not-to-exceed amount of up to $290,000, based on the remaining balance of the City’s design allocation for this project.
Fiscal Impact: The professional services agreement will be funded entirely through the existing STIP allocation. No General Fund contribution is required.

Subject: Consider Resolution No. 25-6498, Authorizing the City Manager to accept the terms and conditions of T-Mobile Contract for the Susanville Police Department
Presented By: Allen Sobol, Police Lieutenant
Summary:
The Susanville Police Department has been experiencing technical issues with its current cellular devices, which are outdated and incompatible with the Axon software used for body-worn camera photographs, videos, and automated recordings.

After conducting thorough research and field testing of available products, staff found that T-Mobile provides superior coverage within the region, including satellite redundancy to ensure reliable connectivity. Upon approval of this contract, the Susanville Police Department will transition to T-Mobile service, acquiring 20 cellular devices and 10 mobile hotspots to enhance patrol vehicle connectivity and improve the efficiency and reliability of officers’ mobile laptop communications.
Fiscal Impact: The total monthly cost for all devices is $1,087.50, representing a monthly reduction of $138.18 and an annual savings of $1,658.16.
