COUNCIL REPORTS
MEETING DATE: JANUARY !8,2022 AGENDA SECTION: FINANCE

APPROVED

DEPARTMENT H

CITY MANAGER
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR SMITH AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: HANNAH CHUNG, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: JANUARY 4,2022
SUBJECT: AMEND CAPITAL ASSET POUCY AND PROCEDURES

BACKGROUND
ln order to keep all policies up to date, it is important to evaluate existing policies from time to time and make necessary changes. As such, staff felt that the current Capital Asset Policy (Policy) was outdated and decided to proceed with a policy update. The changes made to the current Policy are:

1. Added more descriptive definitions and explanations to the capital asset categories

2. Changed capitalization thresholds

3. Modified the life of assets in certain categories.

The proposed changes in dollar amount for capitalization thresholds are as shown below:

Assets Description
Capitalization Threshold Change
From To
Machinery & Equipment 5,000 10,000
Furniture & Fixture 5,000 10,000
lntangible Assets 5,000 10,000
La nd 5,000 10,000
Land lmprovements 5,000 50,000
Buildings / Hangars 5,000 50,000
Building lmprovements 5,000 50,000
I nfrastructu re 5,000 50,000
Capital Lease Property 5,000 50,000
Leasehold I mprovements 5,000 50,000
Construction in Progress 5,000 50,000
Staff considered the current 55,000 capitalization threshold low for machinery, equipment and furniture and considerably low for lands, buildings and infrastructure. Therefore, the threshold for each category of assets was adjusted to be more reasonable and economically suitable. 6;f
Furthermore, the useful life of the capital asset categories was also reviewed and modified. A comparison of current and proposed policy is listed below:

Assets Description Useful Life Change (in Years)
Old Policy New Poliry
Buildings 30 15 to 50
Computers, Printers 4 4to 5
Furniture and Fixture 4to30 5to 10
Machinery a nd Equipment 4to30 5to20

CAPITAL ASSET POLICY
Effective Date: Januarv 19,2022 Updated Date: January 18,2022

PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide uniform criteria for identifying and properly classifying City expenditures for capitalization. This policy also provides guidelines for determining the economic useful lives of capital assets (also known as fixed assets) as well as capitalization thresholds. Proper capital asset accounting provides the City with the data necessary to:

1. Prepare financial reports

2. Safeguard sizable investments

3. ldentify custodial responsibility

4. Assist with risk managemenUinsurance activities

5. Recover costs from Federal and State programs or reimbursement programs

BACKGROUND
Capital assets are broadly defined as financial resources that are tangible or intangible in nature and have a useful life greater than one year. Examples of capital asset categories are Land, Buildings, lmprovements, Machinery & Equipment, Furniture & Fixtures and lntangible Assets such as Water Rights.

The City's Capital Asset Policy defines capital assets under each classification, addresses useful life ranges, sets minimum capitalization thresholds and gives examples of costs to include in the value of the capital asset. Additionally, the policy discusses the treatment of unique items such as water rights, computer software, capital leases, self-constructed assets, donated assets, construction in progress, costs incurred subsequent to acquisition and transfers of assets between funds or departments.

Capital assets are to be accounted for at historical cost or if cost is not practically determinable, at estimated fair market value at the time of acquisition or when placed into service. The historical cost is the value of the asset on the date acquired by the City. Generally, cost includes all expenses associated with the acquisition, shipment, construction and installation of a capital asset.

RESPONSIBILITY
F i na nce Di rec.lotRespons i bi I ity
The Finance Director or his/her designee wil! determine the category and life of assets and maintain the capital asset records in the financial software. Furthermore, he or she is responsible to keep the required capital asset records either in a hard copy format or electronic copy until the retention period is expired pursuant to City's Record Retention Schedule.

Citv Staff Responsibilitv
An inventory of all capital assets is to be completed when requested by the Finance Department annually. To facilitate fulfillment of the requirements of this section and in order to prepare accurate financial reports, Finance Staff shall maintain accurate and upto-date capital asset accounting records.

CAPITALIZATION THRESHOLDS
The City has established minimum capitalization thresholds for administrative purposes. All below the icable class threshold are to be in the current fiscal r

ACQUISITION OF CAPITAL ASSETS
Land and Land lmprovements
Land: A real property other than structures and land improvements.

Land lmprovements: Non-building assets that enhance the quality or facilitate the use of land.

Examples of depreciable land improvements include parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, retaining wa!!s, fencing, outdoor lighting, landscaping, irrigation systems, recreation areas, athletic fields and courts and fountains. Land improvements such as fill, grading and excavation that provide permanent benefits and incur limited deterioration with use or the passage of time are to be classified with land as non-depreciable.

Capitalizafion.' Land, land improvements and rights-of-way valued at $50,000 or more will be capitalized.

Valuation' The cost of land includes all expenditures in connection with acquisition and preparation for use such as, but not limited to purchase price, appraisal and negotiation fees, title search and filing/recording fees, relocation costs, costs of consents, clearing, filing and grading land for use, condemnation costs, demolition or removal of structures, surveying fees or hazardous waste clean-up. Receipts from the sales of salvage should be credited against the land cost. In the case of land and buildings acquired as a single parcel, the value of the land and buildings should be determined individually and recorded separately.

Buildinqs and Buildins lmprovements
Buildings.' Structures that are physical property of a permanent nature that enclose people, equipment, services or functions. Buildings may include major high-cost components such as boilers, elevators and HVAC systems. When these components are replaced, they should be recorded separately in the capital asset system to simplify future replacement transactions and because their useful lives can differ from buildings.

Building lmprovemenfs.'These are additions or improvements to buildings that increase value or extend the useful life of a building. Refer to "Treatment of Costs Subsequent to Acquisition" section of this document for more specific information. Examples include replacing major building components, structural additions to buildings, major energy conservation projects, installation of upgraded plumbing or electrical systems, and major renovations of exterior structural deterioration.

Capitalizafion.' Buildings and Building lmprovements valued at or more than $50,000 will be capitalized.

Valuation: The cost of Buildings and Building lmprovements includes all expenditures in connection with acquisition of construction, such as purchase price or construction costs, fixtures attached to the structure, filing and other closing costs, inspections and tests, architect's fees, payments of damages, costs of permits and licenses, and insurance costs during construction.

The cost shall be reduced for sale of salvage from materials charged against the construction, discounts, allowances and rebates secured, and amounts recovered through surrender of liability and casualty insurance. For proprietary funds only, the actual or imputed interest costs associated with the construction period shall be capitalized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 34, FASB Statement No. 62, and supplemental updates.
lnfrastructure
lnfrastructure: lnfrastructure is categorized as community service assets that are long-lived, generally stationary in nature, and normally preserved for a significantly greater number of years than most capital assets. Examples include pavements, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks associated with roadways, bridges, sewer systems, water distribution systems, and water drainage systems.

Expansions and lmprovemenfs fo lnfrastructure: These are capital outlays that increase the asset's capacity, efficiency, or level of service, such as adding lanes to a road.

Capitalization: lnfrastructure and infrastructure improvements valued at or more than $50,000 will be capitalized. Refer to "Treatment of Costs Subsequent to Acquisition" section of this document for more specific information.

Valuation'The cost of infrastructure includes the purchase price, contract prices, internal costs (see Self-Constructed Assets paragraph), and any other expenditures necessary to put the infrastructure into its intended state of operation. Refer to the Building paragraph for examples of costs to include.

Land purchased for infrastructure projects shall be capitalized into the Land account. Land must be capitalized as a separate non-depreciable asset at fair market value as of the date of acceptance.

Preservation costs that significantly extend the useful life of an asset beyond its original estimated useful life, but do not increase the capacity of the asset, are generally capitalized.

Examples are seismic retrofitting bridges and roads reconstruction.

Maintenance costs which allow an infrastructure asset to continue to operate at its intended level of service during its originally established useful life are not to be capitalized.

Machinerv & Equipment
Machinery & Equipment Physical moveable personal property such as machines, tools, furniture, vehicles, aircraft, mobile/office trailers, and computer servers comprise the Machinery & Equipment category. lt does not include major systems integrated into a building or structure such as elevators, boilers or HVAC.

Capitalization: lndividual units valued at or more than $10,000 and a useful life of more than one (1) year.

The group method for capitalization may apply in limited circumstances for equipment. Grouping includes a number of different units purchased at the same time whose defined purpose is to work in conjunction with one another, their independent operation is not feasible, and replacement of which is extended as a whole. Purchase of multiple identical units (e.9., 5 computers @ $2,000 each) rarely represents valid grouping. Examples of valid grouping include:

Modular Furniture - lnitial lot purchases and each subsequent lot or component of more than $10,000, or
Computer server - lnitial hardware and software components designed to work exclusively with one another and valued at more than $10,000, or Unique multi-device systems for communications or police vehicles meeting the $10,000 threshold.

Valuation' The cost of equipment includes all costs necessary to acquire and place the equipment into service such as purchase or construction price less discounts, installation costs, shipping and handling, initial operational training, sale, use, or transportation taxes. The cost of new equipment should not be reduced by the value of trade-ins. Trade-ins shall be retired from the capital asset and financial systems, and any resultant gain or loss for the asset being tradein should be recognized on its disposition for Proprietary Funds. lntanqible Assets
lntangibleAssefs.'lntangible assets are financial assets that lack physicalsubstance. Common examples of intangible assets include water rights, easements, rights-of-way and computer software.

Water Rights: Water rights shall have its own category. Water rights are not subject to depreciation and all costs associated with acquiring the water rights shall be capitalized.

Software Capitalization: An individual software application or license purchased for the City's use shall be capitalized if it is valued at more than $10,000 and its useful life will be more than one (1) year.

Software Valuation' Software purchases as a component of a system designed to work exclusively with specific hardware shall be capitalized with the hardware using the group method and the $10,000 threshold as noted in the equipment paragraph above. Vendor modification, such as patches and version upgrades, used to keep software in a usable state as opposed to adding significant new capabilities, should be charged as maintenance expense.

Capital Leases
The capitalization of Capital Leases which meet the $10,000 threshold shall be subject to the rules of GovernmentalAccounting Standard Board (GASB) Statement No. 87.

Self-Constructed Assets
Capital assets constructed by the City are recorded in the same manner as those acquired by purchase or construction contract. Costs are to be tracked in the project module and the progress costs should be captured in the CIP account at the end of the fiscal year if the project is still in progress. These costs include direct labor, materials, equipment usage and overhead. City employee's overhead is limited to those items, such as worker's compensation, employee group a
insurance premiums, City's contribution on retirement, leave accrual allowances, employer paid payroll taxes and other direct labor costs. Once the construction of the asset is completed, the amount of total costs will be transferred to a capital asset account.

Leasehold lmprovements
Leasehold improvements are improvements to buildings or structures that the City leases to be used during the term of that lease. Leasehold improvements are permanent in nature in that they involve physical modifications to a leased property. As such, moveable equipment or office furniture that is not attached to the leased property is not considered a leasehold improvement.

Leasehold improvements do not have a residual value as they revert to the lessor at the expiration of the lease.

Leasehold improvements over the $50,000 threshold are capitalized by the lessee and are amortized over the shorter of (1) the remaining lease term, or (2) the useful life of the improvement. lmprovements made in lieu of rent shall not be capitalized. lf the lease contains an option to renew and the likelihood of renewal is uncertain, the leasehold improvement should be written off over the life of the initial lease term or useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.

Eminent Domain
The value of the capital asset obtained through eminent domain shall include all direct costs included in reaching a settlement with the seller.

Works of Art and Historical Treasures
Works of Art and HistoricalTreasures shall be capitalized and recorded at historicalcost. Works of Art and Historical Treasures that are inexhaustible should not be depreciated.

Donated Assets
Capital assets that are donated to the City are to be recorded at fair market value as of the date of acceptance by the City Council, plus any ancillary costs necessary to place those assets into service.

ADDITIONAL CAPITAL ASSET ISSUES
Treatment of Costs Subsequent to Acquisition
Major expenditures that increase future benefits of an existing capital asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance shall be capitalized. After a capital asset has been placed into service, subsequent expenditures are capitalized if they meet the asset's class threshold and:
o Extend the estimated life or increase the value of the asset as per established thresholds defined in this document, or
. lncrease the future service potential, (capacity or efficiency) of the asset, or o Are a new major fixture of a building (e.9., elevator, boiler, HVAC, roof), or o For depreciated roads, the'base' has been impacted by a reconstruction.

The determination as to whether expenditures meet any of these factors shall be made by an evaluation of engineering design, physical condition, cost and other relevant factors.

Alteration or Remodeling of buildings and costs to change the physical structure or arrangement of capital assets that do not extend the building's useful life shall not be capitalized.

Construction in Proqress
Construction in Progress includes new construction or improvements to land, buildings, vehicles/equipment or infrastructure that have not been physically completed or have not had all project costs processed by fiscalyear-end, and the final cost is expected to exceed the threshold for its class.

Depreciation
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of depreciable capital assets over a period of time rather than incurring the entire cost as an expense in the year of acquisition. The process recognizes an asset's periodic cost of use and declining usefulness over time. Land, certain land improvements, water rights, certain works of art and historicaltreasurers are inexhaustible and are therefore not depreciated.

As a matter of policy, the City has elected to adopt the straight-line method of depreciation.

Depreciation will begin on the first day of the asset's first full month of service and end on the final day of the final month of service. The straight-line method of depreciation shall be applied as follows:
(Asset Cost - ResidualValue) / Estimated Useful Life in Years = Annual Depreciation Expense Residual value is the amount that can be anticipated to be recovered when the asset is no longer useful for its intended purpose. Useful life should approximate the time an asset will provide service to the City.

Capital assets that become fully depreciated or have residual value and are still in use must remain in the financial capital accounts and identified within the capital asset system until they are disposed.

MAINTENANCE VS. ADDITIONS . TREATMENT OF COSTS

1. Maintenance is defined as expenditures which neither materially add to the value of property nor appreciably prolong its life, but merely keep it in an ordinary efficient operating condition. Maintenance costs shall not be capitalized. Road maintenance such as slurry seal, overlay and street striping are considered maintenance and should not be categorized as a capital asset. Furthermore, building maintenance such as roof replacement, new paint and flooring replacement are considered as building repair and maintenance.

2. Capitalized expenditures are defined as expenditures that materially add to the value or betterment of property/equipment or appreciably extend its life. The cost of capitalized expenditures should be added to the book value of the asset where the original cost of a component being improved can be specifically identified. !NVENTORY CONTROL
Department heads or designees are responsible for safeguarding capital assets under their control from theft, loss or abuse.
!n general, inventory control is applied only to movable capital assets such as Machinery and Equipment and office furniture and not to land, buildings, or other immovable capital assets.

Capital assets subject to inventory controlwill be accounted for and controlled through the same systems and procedures used to account and control capital assets subject to capitalization.

PURCHASING CAPITAL ASSETS

1. Review departmental budget to ensure the requested asset has been included in the current year's budget.

2. lf the desired asset is not in the budget, a department head must contact the Finance Department to determine the appropriate action.

3. Computer equipment and computer software purchases should be made by the lT administrator /consultant. lf it is imperative for a department head to purchase computer equipmenUsoftware due to a special circumstance, the purchase must be reviewed and approved by the lT consultant.

4. Provide "Capital Assets lnformation Form" in Exhibit 'A" if required by the Finance Department.

5. An asset number will be assigned to the capital asset by the Finance Department and logged into the capital asset software module.

TRANSFERRING AN ASSET TO A DIFFERENT FUND'DEPARTMENT
1 . Use the "Capital Asset Transfer / Disposal Form" in Exhibit "B" if requested by the Finance Department.

2. lnform the Finance Department for capital asset module update. Make sure to include the date of transfer, correct department, location and asset description.

3. For vehicle transfers include date of transfer, blue book value, condition and mileage. ln addition, provide a copy of the blue book report.

DISPOSAL OF ASSET / SURPLUS PROPERTY
All capital assets that have reached the end of their useful life and/or have a zero-dollar ($0) book value for reporting purposes will be considered surplus property. Surplus property can be disposed, donated to other public or non-profit agencies, or sold to the public through a public property auction website upon Council's approval.

Prior to disposal or donation of any properties, a department head is required to inform the Finance Department by forwarding a "Capital Asset Transfer / Disposal Form". Furthermore, for assets that are sold through the public property auction website, a list of the assets and the sold amount of each individual asset must be sent to the Finance Department. Proceeds from the sale of capital assets will be credited to the fund which purchased the asset.

Misplaced/Lost Assets
ln the event a capital asset is stolen, lost or missing, department heads are responsible for ensuring that the "Capital Asset Missing Report", Exhibit "C", is completed in detail and they must obtain the City Manager's signature prior to submitting the form to the Finance Department for processing.

ACQUISITION OF CAPITAL ASSETS
Larul and Land lmprovements
Land: A real propefi other than structures and land improvements.

Land lmprovements: Non-building assets that enhance the quality or facilitate the use of land.

Examples of depreciable land improvements include parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, retaining walls, fencing, outdoor lighting, landscaping, irrigation systems, recreation areas, athletic fields and courts and fountains. Land improvements such as fill, grading and excavation that provide permanent benefits and incur limited deterioration with use or the passage of time are to be classified with land as non-depreciable.

Capitalization: Land, land improvements and rights-of-way valued at $50,000 or more will be capitalized.

Valuation' The cost of land includes all expenditures in connection with acquisition and preparation for use such as, but not limited to purchase price, appraisal and negotiation fees, title search and filing/recording fees, relocation costs, costs of consents, clearing, filing and grading land for use, condemnation costs, demolition or removal of structures, surveying fees or hazardous waste clean-up. Receipts from the sales of salvage should be credited against the land cost. ln the case of land and buiHings acquired as a single parcel, the value of the land and buildings should be determined individually and recorded separately.

Butldinqs and Building lmprovements
Buildings.' Structures that are physical property of a permanent nature that enclose people, equipment, services or functions. Buildings may include major high-cost components such as boilers, elevators and HVAC systems. \A/hen these components are replaced, they should be recorded separately in the capital asset system to simplify future replacement transactions and because their useful lives can differ from buildings.

Building lmprovements.'These are additions or improvements to buildings that increase value or extend the useful life of a building. Refer to "Treatment of Costs Subsequent to Acquisition" section of this document for more specific information. Examples include replacing major building components, structural additions to buildings, major energy conservation projects, installation of upgraded plumbing or electrical systems, and major renovations of exterior structu ral deterioration.

Capitalizafion.' Buildings and Building lmprovements valued at or more than $50,000 will be capitalized.

Valuation' The cost of Buildings and Building lmprovements includes all expenditures in connection with acquisition of construction, such as purchase price or construction costs, fixtures attached to the structure, filing and other closing costs, inspections and tests, architect's fees, payments of damages, costs of permits and licenses, and insurance costs during construction.

The cost shall be reduced for sale of salvage from materials charged against the construction, discounts, allowances and rebates secured, and amounts recovered through surrender of liability and casualty insurance. For proprietary funds only, the actual or imputed interest costs associated with the construction period shall be capitalized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 34, FASB Statement No. 62, and supplemental updates.
lnfrastructure
lnfrastructure: lnfrastructure is categorized as community service assets that are long-lived, generally stationary in nature, and normally preserved for a significantly greater number of years than most capital assets. Examples include pavements, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks associated with roadways, bridges, sewer systems, water distribution systems, and water drainage systems.

Expansions and lmprovemenb to lnfrastrucfure: These are capital outlays that increase the asset's capacity, efficiency, or level of service, such as adding lanes to a road.

Capitalization: lnfrastructure and infrastructure improvements valued at or more than $50,000 will be capitalized. Refer to "Treatment of Costs Subsequent to Acquisition" section of this document for more specific information.

Valuation'The cost of infrastructure includes the purchase price, contract prices, internal costs (see Self-Constructed Assets paragraph), and any other expenditures necessary to put the infrastructure into its intended state of operation. Refer to the Building paragraph for examples of costs to include.

Land purchased for infrastructure projects shall be capitalized into the Land account. Land must be capitalized as a separate non-depreciable asset at fair market value as of the date of acceptance.

Preservation costs that significantly extend the useful life of an asset beyond its original estimated useful life, but do not increase the capacity of the asset, are generally capitalized.

Examples are seismic retrofitting bridges and roads reconstruction.

Maintenance costs which allow an infrastructure asset to continue to operate at its intended level of service during its originally established useful life are not to be capitalized.

Machinerv & Equipment
Machinery & Equipment Physical moveable personal property such as machines, tools, furniture, vehicles, aircraft, mobile/office trailers, and computer servers comprise the Machinery & Equipment category. lt does not include major systems integrated into a building or structure such as elevators, boilers or HVAC.

Capitalizafion: lndividual units valued at or more than $10,000 and a useful life of more than one (1) year.

The group method for capitalization may apply in limited circumstances for equipment. Grouping includes a number of different units purchased at the same time whose defined purpose is to work in conjunction with one another, their independent operation is not feasible, and replacement of which is extended as a whole. Purchase of multiple identical units (e.g., 5 computers @ $2,000 each) rarely represents valid grouping. Examples of valid grouping include:

Modular Furniture - lnitial lot purchases and each subsequent lot or component of more than $10,000, or
Computer server - lnitial hardware and software components designed to work exclusively with one another and valued at more than $10,000, or Unique multi-device systems for communications or police vehicles meeting the $10,000 threshold.

Valuation' The cost of equipment includes all costs necessary to acquire and place the equipment into service such as purchase or construction price less discounts, installation costs, shipping and handling, initia! operational training, sale, use, or transportation taxes. The cost of new equipment should not be reduced by the value of trade-ins. Trade-ins shall be retired from the capital asset and financial systems, and any resultant gain or loss for the asset being tradein should be recognized on its disposition for Proprietary Funds. lntansible Assets
lntangible Asseb.'lntangible assets are financial assets that lack physical substance. Common examples of intangible assets include water rights, easements, rights-of-way and computer software.

Water Righb: Water rights shall have its own category. Water rights are not subject to depreciation and all costs associated with acquiring the water rights shall be capitalized.

Software Capitalization: An individual software application or license purchased for the City's use shall be capitalized if it is valued at more than $10,000 and its useful life will be more than one (1) year.

Software Valuation' Software purchases as a component of a system designed to work exclusively with specific hardware shall be capitalized with the hardware using the group method and the $10,000 threshold as noted in the equipment paragraph above. Vendor modification, such as patches and version upgrades, used to keep software in a usable state as opposed to adding significant new capabilities, should be charged as maintenance expense.

Capital Leases
The capitalization of Capital Leases which meet the $10,000 threshold shall be subject to the rules of GovernmentalAccounting Standard Board (GASB) Statement No. 87.

Self-Constructed Assets
Capital assets constructed by the City are recorded in the same manner as those acquired by purchase or construction contract. Costs are to be tracked in the project module and the progress costs should be captured in the CIP account at the end of the fiscal year if the project is still in progress. These costs include direct labor, materials, equipment usage and overhead. City employee's overhead is limited to those items, such as worker's compensation, employee group a
a
insurance premiums, City's contribution on retirement, leave accrual allowances, employer paid payroll taxes and other direct labor costs. Once the construction of the asset is completed, the amount of total costs will be transferred to a capital asset account.

Leasehold lmprovements
Leasehold improvements are improvements to buildings or structures that the City leases to be used during the term of that lease. Leasehold improvements are permanent in nature in that they involve physical modifications to a leased property. As such, moveable equipment or office furniture that is not attached to the leased property is not considered a leasehold improvement.

Leasehold improvements do not have a residual value as they revert to the lessor at the expiration of the lease.

Leasehold improvements over the $50,000 threshold are capitalized by the lessee and are amortized over the shorter of (1) the remaining lease term, or (2) the useful life of the improvement. lmprovements made in lieu of rent shall not be capitalized. lf the lease contains an option to renew and the likelihood of renewal is uncertain, the leasehold improvement should be written off over the life of the initial lease term or useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.

Eminent Domain
The value of the capital asset obtained through eminent domain shall include all direct costs included in reaching a settlement with the seller.

Works of Art and Historical Treasures
Works of Art and HistoricalTreasures shall be capitalized and recorded at historical cost. Works of Art and Historical Treasures that are inexhaustible should not be depreciated.

Donated Assets
Capital assets that are donated to the City are to be recorded at fair market value as of the date of acceptance by the City Council, plus any ancillary costs necessary to place those assets into service.

ADDITIONAL CAPITAL ASSET ISSUES
Treatment of Costs S ent to Acquisition
Major expenditures that increase future benefits of an existing capital asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance shall be capitalized. After a capital asset has been placed into service, subsequent expenditures are capitalized if they meet the asset's class threshold and:
o Extend the estimated life or increase the value of the asset as per established thresholds defined in this document, or
o lncrease the future service potential, (capacity or efficiency) of the asset, or o Are a new major fixture of a building (e.9., elevator, boiler, HVAC, roof), or o For depreciated roads, the'base' has been impacted by a reconstruction.

The determination as to whether expenditures meet any of these factors shall be made by an evaluation of engineering design, physical condition, cost and other relevant factors.

Alteration or Remodeling of buildings and costs to change the physical structure or arrangement of capital assets that do not extend the building's useful life shall not be capitalized.

Gonstruction in Proqress
Construction in Progress includes new construction or improvements to land, buildings, vehicles/equipment or infrastructure that have not been physically completed or have not had all project costs processed by fiscalyear-end, and the final cost is expected to exceed the threshold for its class.

Depreciation
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of depreciable capital assets over a period of time rather than incurring the entire cost as an expense in the year of acquisition. The process recognizes an asset's periodic cost of use and declining usefulness over time. Land, certain land improvements, water rights, certain works of art and historical treasurers are inexhaustible and are therefore not depreciated.

As a matter of policy, the City has elected to adopt the straight-line method of depreciation.

Depreciation will begin on the first day of the asset's first full month of service and end on the final day of the final month of service. The straight-line method of depreciation shall be applied as follows:
(Asset Cost - ResidualValue) / Estimated Useful Life in Years = Annual Depreciation Expense Residual value is the amount that can be anticipated to be recovered when the asset is no longer useful for its intended purpose. Useful life should approximate the time an asset will provide service to the City.

Capital assets that become fully depreciated or have residual value and are still in use must remain in the financial capital accounts and identified within the capital asset system until they are disposed.

MAINTENANCE VS. ADDITIONS . TREATMENT OF COSTS

1. Maintenance is defined as expenditures which neither materially add to the value of property nor appreciably prolong its life, but merely keep it in an ordinary efficient operating condition. Maintenance costs shall not be capitalized. Road maintenance such as slurry seal, overlay and street striping are considered maintenance and should not be categorized as a capital asset. Furthermore, building maintenance such as roof replacement, new paint and flooring replacement are considered as building repair and maintenance.

2. Capitalized expenditures are defined as expenditures that materially add to the value or betterment of property/equipment or appreciably extend its life. The cost of capitalized expenditures should be added to the book value of the asset where the original cost of a component being improved can be specifically identified.

INVENTORY CONTROL
Department heads or designees are responsible for safeguarding capital assets under their control from theft, loss or abuse.
!n general, inventory control is applied only to movable capital assets such as Machinery and Equipment and office furniture and not to land, buildings, or other immovable capital assets.

Capital assets subject to inventory controlwill be accounted for and controlled through the same systems and procedures used to account and control capital assets subject to capitalization.

PURGHASING CAPITAL ASSETS

1. Review departmental budget to ensure the requested asset has been included in the current year's budget.

2. lf the desired asset is not in the budget, a department head must contact the Finance Department to determine the appropriate action.

3. Computer equipment and computer software purchases should be made by the lT administrator /consultant. lf it is imperative for a department head to purchase computer equipmenUsoftware due to a special circumstance, the purchase must be reviewed and approved by the lT consultant.

4. Provide "Capital Assets lnformation Form" in Exhibit "A' if required by the Finance Department.

5. An asset number will be assigned to the capital asset by the Finance Department and logged into the capital asset software module.

TRANSFERRING AN ASSET TO A DIFFERENT FUND'DEPARTMENT

1. Use the "CapitalAsset Transfer / Disposal Form" in Exhibit "B" if requested by the Finance Department.

2. lnform the Finance Department for capital asset module update. Make sure to include the date of transfer, correct department, location and asset description.

3. For vehicle transfers include date of transfer, blue book value, condition and mileage. ln addition, provide a copy of the blue book report.

DISPOSAL OF ASSET
'

SURPLUS PROPERTY
All capital assets that have reached the end of their useful life and/or have a zero-dollar ($0) book value for reporting purposes will be considered surplus property. Surplus property can be disposed, donated to other public or non-profit agencies, or sold to the public through a public property auction website upon Council's approval.

Prior to disposal or donation of any properties, a department head is required to inform the Finance Department by forwarding a "CapitalAsset Transfer / Disposal Form". Furthermore, for assets that are sold through the public property auction website, a list of the assets and the sold amount of each individual asset must be sent to the Finance Department. Proceeds from the sale of capital assets will be credited to the fund which purchased the asset.

Misplaced/Lost Assets
ln the event a capital asset is stolen, lost or missing, department heads are responsible for ensuring that the "Capital Asset Missing Report", Exhibit "C", is completed in detail and they must obtain the City Manager's signature prior to submitting the form to the Finance Department for processing.

3 As development in town directly relates to the City's future finances, the listed prospective projects will affect the City's long-term financial planning.

Planning/Entitlement Projects:

1. A Specific Plan for a 210-acre senior living master planned community is proposed for northeast Tehachapi. The community is being designed with residential and small commercial areas and with a congregant care facility.

2. A new 140-acre master planned community is proposed in the center of town. The development is advocating for up to 1,000 new housing units along with over 9 acres of park space.

3. Two new industrial buildings on Bailey Court totaling approximately 15,000 sq. ft. are undergoing the entitlement process.

4. Two new residential buildings are proposed within the Green Street Micro Village project that currently includes a barber shop, office building, and storage shed on the southwest corner of West E Street and South Green Street.

5. A three-story, 85 room Hampton Inn is proposed at the northeast corner of Challenger Drive and Capital Hills Parkway.

6. An AT&T cell tower at Tehachapi Hill is being considered.

Cash Management Policies and Practices
After annual review, the City updates its Investment Policy and submits it to the City Council for approval. In addition, a Treasurer's Report which includes all bank balances and investment portfolio information is generated monthly and submitted to Council.

To maximize interest Income and maintain liquidity, the City pools operating cash for its various funds and invests the monies. City and agency funds are invested pursuant to the City's Investment Policy in compliance with Section 53601 of the California Government Code. The authorized investment types include the investment pools such as the Local Agency Investment Fund (State of California pool) and Central San J�aquin Valley Rick Management Authority investment pool through Chandler Asset Management, U.S. Treasury Obligations, U.S.

Government Agency Issues, and Certificates of Deposit as well as mutual funds and money market funds. The investments are made based on the priorities of safety, liquidity, and yield.

Investment of debt proceeds held by bond trustees are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code in the City's Investment Policy.

Awards and Acknowledgements
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award (Budget Award) from Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA): Continuing from the prior year, the City again received the Budget Award for a budget period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. GFOA established the Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program in 1984 to encourage and assist state and local governments to prepare budget documents of the very highest quality that reflect both the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and GFOA's best practices on budgeting.

8 FINANCIAL SECTION
Independent Auditor’s Report
The Honorable City Council
City of Tehachapi, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Tehachapi, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

9 We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Tehachapi, California, as of June 30, 2021, 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.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and other required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Tehachapi’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, schedules listed in the supplementary information section of the table of contents, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.

The schedules listed in the supplementary information section of the table of contents are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedules listed in the supplementary information section of the table of contents are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

The introductory and statistical sections have 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 them. 10 Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 28, 2021, 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 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 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.

Community Development Planning, engineering, building inspections, and development services The services under governmental activities are supported by taxes and specific program revenues. 12 Business-type activities include refuse, water, wastewater, transit, and airport services. Unlike governmental services, business-type activities are supported by charges paid by users based on the amount services they use.

The government-wide financial statements are comprised of the Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities.

The Statement of Net Position is prepared using accounting principles that are similar to a private-sector business.

The purpose of the Statement of Net Position is to report all assets held and liabilities owed by the City. The difference between the City’s total assets and total liabilities is labeled as net position and this difference is similar to the total owners’ equity presented by a private-sector business. Although the purpose of the City is not to accumulate net position in general, increases or decreases of net position may serve as an indicator of the financial position of the City.

The Statement of Activities presents the revenues and expenses of the City. Again, the items presented on the Statement of Activities are measured in a manner similar to the approach used by a private-sector business, in that revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. The difference between revenue and expense is called change in net position in the City’s financial report whereas it is called net income in a private-sector business.

Fund Financial Statements
Unlike government-wide financial statements, the focus of fund financial statements is directed to specific activities of the City rather than the City as a whole. All of the City’s funds are composed of three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.

Fund financial statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds, called major funds. The concept of a major fund, and the determination of which funds are major, was established by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34 and replaces the concept of combining like funds and presenting them in total. Instead, each major fund is presented individually, while all non-major funds are summarized and presented in a single column.

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 near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.

Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions.

The City of Tehachapi maintains 13 active individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. The funds categorized under major funds are: General Fund, Facility Impact Fee Fund, Traffic Mitigation Fund, Roads and Pedestrian Safety Fund and Street Projects Fund. Data from seven governmental projects are combined into Street Projects fund which is a capital projects fund. Funds such as the gas tax funds, Transportation Development Act grant funds, small capital project funds, landscape lighting district funds, and drainage basin assessment district funds are grouped into the Other Governmental Funds.

The projects included in the Pedestrian Safety Funds are Railroad Pedestrian Safety and Antelope Run Bike Path.

Twelve projects are included in the Street Projects Fund. They are the Enhanced Striping, Tree Planting and Stormwater Capture, Enhanced Pedestrian Crossings, Snyder Ave. Gap Closure, Summit Rehabilitation, West Park Frontage Improvement, Northside Neighborhood Improvement Ph II, Snyder Ave. Road Rehabilitation, Pinon Road Extension, Surface Treatment of Residential Streets, Dennison Bicycle-Pedestrian Improvement and Local City Streets Rehabilitation projects.
13 Proprietary funds record revenues when they are earned and record expenses at the time liabilities are incurred.

The only type of proprietary funds the City of Tehachapi maintains is enterprise funds. The Refuse, Water, Sewer, Transit, and Airport funds are enterprise funds and presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The City considers Water, Sewer, Airport and Refuse Funds to be major funds whereas the Transit Fund is categorized as a non-major proprietary fund.

Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. The City’s fiduciary fund activities are reported in a separate section of this report under the Statement of Fiduciary Net Position. These activities are excluded from the City’s other financial statements because the City cannot use assets belonging to fiduciary funds to finance its operations. Financial activities included in the fiduciary statement consist of the Successor Agency to the former Tehachapi RDA (Successor Agency), Special Assessment Districts (AD), and the Community Facilities District (CFD).

Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes give additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the governmentwide and fund financial statements.

Required Supplementary / Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain Required Supplementary Information and Supplementary Information. The Required Supplementary Information section includes budgetary comparison schedules for major governmental funds and the Supplementary Information section includes an illustration of conditions and activities for all non-major funds as well as special district agency funds.

Government-wide Financial Analysis
Statement of Net Position Summary
The City’s overall financial position and operations for the past two years are summarized in the table above based on the information included in the government-wide financial statements. At June 30, 2021, the City’s overall assets exceeded total liabilities by $68,731,855 which is called net position. The net position that resulted from governmental activities was $49,968,534 and from business-type activities was $18,763,321. Net position may serve over time as an indicator of a government’s financial position. 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020

14 The largest portion of the City’s net position is investments in capital assets. The Net Investment in Capital Assets (e.g., land, infrastructure, buildings, machineries, and equipment) was increased to $52,715,586 (77% of total net position) from $50,760,778. This increase of $1,954,808 resulted from added capital assets less removed capital projects and depreciation expense. The Net Investment in Capital Assets is calculated by deducting the accumulated depreciation amount as well as associated debts from the total capital assets booked. The capital projects still in progress at the end of the fiscal year are included in the construction in progress (CIP) balance until the projects are completed. Listed are the projects included in CIP at the end of 2020/21:

Governmental Activities:

Rail Corridor Pedestrian Safety Enhanced Pedestrian Crossings Snyder Gap Closure Northside Neighborhood Improvement Ph II Snyder Ave. Road Rehabilitation Pinon Road Extension
Fuel Storage System Dennison Bicycle & Pedestrian Improvements Tree Planting & Stormwater Capture Public Works Office Trailer Business-type Activities:

Airport Taxiway Relocation Ph I Airport Taxiway Relocation Ph 2 Cherry & Dennison Water Main
Upon completion, the following projects will be categorized in a specific group of fixed assets and will start being depreciated. The capital projects completed during the fiscal year 2020/21 were Antelope Run Bike Path Expansion and West Park Frontage Improvement.

The City started capturing its capital assets in governmental funds beginning in fiscal year 2002/2003. In accordance with GASB 34, the City was not required to retroactively capture its capital assets because the City fell under Implementation Phase III rules due to the size of its revenue in fiscal year 1999/2000. Although the City’s investments in capital assets are reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, as the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

In 2012, GASB 68 was issued to improve financial reporting by state and local governments for pensions and replaced GASB 27. The City implemented GASB 68 from fiscal year 2014/15 forward as required and the pension information is recorded in the Statement of Net Position. The Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources are composed of deferred pension contributions, proportionate share differences, and pension actuarial amounts. The Net Pension Liability balance as of June 30, 2021 was $5,395,363.

While the restricted net position was decreased by $2,627,879 to $5,182,256, the unrestricted net position was increased by $4,476,190 to $10,834,013. For the most part, the decrease in restricted fund balance was attributable to reserve funds that were used to pay for capital projects. However, the unrestricted fund balance increase was primarilyfrom the General Fund. Detailed explanations will be further illustrated in General Fund section.

Governmental Activities
Governmental activities increased the City’s net position by $3,737,887 to $49,968,534, accounting for 73% of the city-wide total net position. The net position balance is composed of $38,817,981 of net investment in capital assets, $3,895,674 of restricted fund balance and $7,254,879 unrestricted fund balance.

The governmental capital assets include not only general fixed assets costing over $5,000 but also infrastructure constructed after the year 2004 as required by GASB Statement 34. The balance in net investment in capital assets represents 78% of the total Net Position in the Governmental Activities section. The $1,183,666 increase in net investment in capital assets was primarily from grant funded capital projects. Furthermore, while the restricted net position was reduced by $819,068 from the prior year the unrestricted net position was increased by $3,373,289.

The restricted fund balance reduction was essentially due to the use of the special revenue funds for capital projects whereas the unrestricted fund increase was generated by the General Fund. Readers may find how the Fund Balances in Governmental Funds are derived from the Net Position of Governmental Activities from the section 15 Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Net Position in the body of financial report.

Business-type Activities
The City operates five business-type activities. These activities are captured in four major funds (Water, Sewer, Airport and Refuse) and one non-major fund (Transit). The net position in business-type activities was increased by $65,232 to $18,763,321 accounting for 27% of the city-wide total net position. The enterprise funds contributing to the increase of net position were Water $16,676, Airport, $59,978, Transit $18,142, and Refuse $1,536 whereas Sewer Fund’s net position was decreased by $31,100.

The net position balance is composed of $13,897,605 of net investment in capital assets; $1,286,582 of restricted net position, and $3,579,134 of unrestricted net position. While net investment in capital assets and unrestricted net position were increased by $771,142 and 1,102,901 respectively, the restricted net position was decreased by $1,808,811.

The decrease in restricted net position as well as increase in unrestricted net position was caused by the reclassification of capital debt from the prior year balance. The reclassed amount was approximately $1.3 million.

In addition to the debt reclassification, the use of fee fund reserves for capital projects such as the purchase of water rights, Ground Water Sustainability project and capital project debt service payments also affected the decrease of restricted net position.

Please note that unlike the government-wide financial statements discussed previously, the fund statements are reflected on a modified accrual basis.

Governmental Funds
As of June 30, 2021, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $13,652,268. This is a $3,758,786 or approximately 38% fund balance increase from the prior year. As shown in the table below, the increase is attributed to favorable operations in the General Fund and development fees receipts in various special revenue funds. The negative fund balances in capital project funds mean capital project grant revenues were not received yet. Fund balance changes in the governmental funds are summarized as follows:

Governmental Funds Balance Summary
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, the fund balance in the General Fund was $13,627,985 which includes $148,269 of prepaid expenses as well as $3,061,592 due from other funds (loans receivable). The General Fund is the only discretionary fund out of the 13 operating governmental funds and any fund shortages in other funds at the end of fiscal year are mostly covered by the General Fund. The summary of loan balances as of June 30, 2021 are as listed:

The two-million-dollar loan to the Facility Impact Fee Fund originated in 2014 with the construction of a new police facility. The advances made to the Streets and Roads Fund and capital projects funds are because of the timing of the receipt of grant revenues. Annual fund deficits in the Airport and certain Landscape Lighting Districts funds are covered by General Fund through operating transfers not as loans because those funds are not capable of making debt payments in the foreseeable future. To date, the General Fund has subsidized $2,200,541 and $596,830 to the Airport Fund and Landscape Lighting Districts respectively.

In addition to advances and prepaid expenses in the General Fund, the GASB 54 committed fund balance is not spendable without Council’s authorization and can only be used for a declared emergency situation. The committed Loan Balance as of 06/30/21
Roads and Pedestrian Safety Fund $ 5,447

Special Revenue
17 fund amount is calculated annually based on GASB 54 requirements and approved by the City Council. The committed fund balance for the fiscal year 2020/21 was $1,158,946. The spendable fund balance after the deduction of outstanding advances, prepaid expenses, and committed funds may be used to pay for future capital projects for the City’s general operations.

Among five major governmental funds, two governmental funds had negative fund balances at the end of this fiscal year. These funds are the Facility Impact Fee Fund ($3,031,765), Street Projects Funds ($599,542). Other than the Facility Impact Fee Fund, the negative fund balances will be eventually covered by various capital project grants.

The deficit fund balance in the Street Projects Funds is timing related. Capital projects in these funds are all grant funded projects and grants are collected on a reimbursement basis. The negative fund balance in the Facility Fee Fund will be paid by future fee collections from developers. As mentioned earlier, this deficit originated with the construction of the new police facility and the remodeling of the City Hall Annex which is currently occupied by Development Services Department. The Facility Fee Fund deficit was covered by the General Fund ($2,000,000) and Sewer Connection Fee Fund ($1,031,765).

Certain special revenue funds, miscellaneous capital project funds, landscape lighting maintenance district (LLD) funds, and drainage benefit assessment district (DBAD) funds are included in Other Governmental Funds. The special revenue funds are various development fee funds with a specific purpose for the use of the funds. The combined fund balance of Other Governmental Funds was $1,075,508. The main sources of the positive fund balance in Other Governmental Funds were from certain LLD and DBAD funds.

Proprietary Funds
The balances in net position of the proprietary funds are summarized below:

The net position in the Water Fund at the end of fiscal year 2020/21 was $7,227,441 which was a $16,676 increase from the fiscal year 2019/20. This increase in net position in a proprietary fund is similar to the net income in a private sector business. The increase will be accumulated in the net position and the unrestricted portion of net position will fund future water related capital projects. Compared to the prior year, both Water Fund revenues and expenses were increased by $157,629 and $372,856 respectively. The revenue increase was mostly from water sales revenue increase. There are various factors affecting the water sales revenue. The main factors are changes in the annual Los Angeles area November Consumer Price Index (CPI), customers’ water consumption, additional water connections, and constrictions. The CPI used for the water rates increased in July, 2020 by 3.1%. On the expenditure side, the most notable variances are from increases in operating and maintenance cost ($143,639), water rights lease ($124,170) and uncapitalized Groundwater Sustainability project cost ($131,201).

As shown in the table above, the Sewer Fund recognized a $31,100 reduction in net position from the prior year which resulted in a year-end net position of $9,823,907. Compared to the prior year, both Sewer Fund revenues and expenses were decreased by $281,172 and $9,918 respectively. The revenue decrease was mainly caused by a reduction in sewer development fees ($224,544). The development fee revenue usually fluctuates year to year depending on the volume of developments occurring in town. On the expense side, while the capital project costs were increased by $120,445 from the Groundwater Sustainability project, the operating expenses including $ Increase %

Major Fund
June 30, 2020
18 personnel expenses were decreased by $130,372 mainly from the repair and maintenance category. During fiscal year 2019/20, major repairs and maintenance work was performed on sewer processing facilities.

The Airport Fund’s net position at the end of the fiscal year was $1,515,553, an increase of $59,978 from the prior year. The Airport Fund’s net position increase was entirely as a result of the General Fund’s subsidy. In 2020/21, $171,351 was transferred to the Airport Fund for operating support from the General Fund. The operating transfer is calculated based on the budget; however, the actual deficit came in less than what was budgeted. Total operating transfers from the GF to the Airport Fund since FY 2000/01 has been $2,200,541. During fiscal year 2020/21, both Airport Fund’s total revenues and expenses were increased by $138,018 and $23,971 respectively compared to the prior fiscal year. The actual revenue increase from operations without General Fund’s subsidy was $91,166 and this increase was primarily proceeding from the receipt of various grants including a $43,000 of COVID-19 related grant. On the expense side, the airport ground soil stabilizing project along with extensive weed abatement created the most variance.

The Refuse Fund recognized a $1,536 net gain during the fiscal year resulting $100,016 ending net position. The City contracts for refuse services with Waste Management Company and receives 10% of total refuse and recycling service revenues from the contractor for administration, billing, and accounts collection services provided by the City. In July, 2020, the refuse service fees were increased by 3.01%.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
A detailed budgetary comparison schedule for the year ended June 30, 2021 is presented as Required Supplementary Information following the Notes to the Financial Statements. The final budget amounts differ from those shown in the original 2020/21 five-year budget. This modification is a result of changes made by mid-year budget adjustments.

General Fund
The General Fund’s fiscal year end fund balance was $13,627,985 which includes a $3,287,345 positive net change in fund balance. In comparison to the final budget, this year’s operations resulted in a $3,414,211 favorable fund balance variance. A 46% of this positive variance was contributed by a $1,556,254 grant received from Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). CSLFRF is intended to provide resources to help states and local governments to turn the tide on the COVID-19 pandemic, address its economic fallout, and lay the foundation for a strong and equitable recovery. The City expects another $1,556,254 in CSLFRF funding in fiscal year 2023-24 and intends to use the funds for government services as stipulated under the revenue loss category in the Interim Final Rule published by the Department of the Treasury.

Furthermore, total revenues and expenditures grew $3,190,092 and $662,332 respectively from the prior year. The detailed budget to actual numbers comparison of the General Fund is included in the Required Supplementary Information section in the Financial Report. Again, the most significant portion (or 68%) of the positive revenue variance was from the COVID-19 related grants from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) as well as ARPA.

The biggest increase in General Fund expenditures was from personnel costs. The personnel costs are composed of many different expenditures such as regular wages, overtime pay, cash-outs of accruals, employer payments on Budget Variance Actual Variance

21 The increase in net pension liability (Unfunded Accrued Liability” UAL) was economy related and mainly due to a reduction in investment income at CalPERS. The City implemented a ten-year UAL payment plan starting in FY 2021/22. The reader may find detailed long-term debt and capital lease information in Notes Section 2-F.

Furthermore, the City employees’ detailed pension information is included in Notes Section 3-B.

State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to fifteen percent of its total assessed valuation. The City has not exceeded this limit.

Next Year’s Budget and Economic Factors
In June of 2021, the Council adopted the 2021/22 through 2025/26 five-year budget with total appropriations of $27,019,930 in fiscal year 2021/22. The following factors were taken into consideration in compiling the next fiscal year budget:
 A 1% CPI increase was used for a cost-of-living allowance calculation for employees.  The 2021/22 budgeted General Fund revenue is $10,536,384 which is $2,509,055 less than the actual revenue received in 2020/21. The considerable variance is from COVID-19 related grants the City received in 2020/21.
 The 2021/22 General Fund expenditure budget amount of $9,952,546 is projected at $181,157 more than the actual expenditures in 2020/21. The major difference is from the ten-year employees’ pension UAL payment plan which was implemented starting in FY 2021/22.  Compared to the actual amount in FY 2020/21, the water sales revenue was budgeted at a 0.5% decrease whereas the sewer service charges were budgeted at status quo.  Approximately 33 and 42 equivalent dwelling units (EDU) were considered in new water and sewer connection fee revenues calculation.
 Budgeted new positions are two full-time employees, a police officer and an executive assistant, in the Police Department, and a part-time laborer in the Public Works Department.  Capital projects and equipment purchases included in this budget are:
o Various equipment and software for General Government: $44,872 o New radio water meters: $75,000
o Public Works building structure improvement: $85,000
o Water rights lease: $69,000
o Water rights purchase: $3,200,000 (will be financed)
o New tie-in from Mojave Well to Snyder Well: $300,000

22 As has been the general practice, the City’s budget was built in a conservative manner. The City continues to produce the favorable budget without deficit for all major funds namely the General Fund, Water Fund and Sewer Fund. The City’s General Fund revenues such as sales tax, transient occupancy tax and passport processing have shown significant recovery from COVID-19 related decline as consumer spending and traveling have increased.

There are great economic concerns regarding the high inflation rate (6.8% CPI-U in November, 2021). This rate is the highest since the early 1980’s (13.5%). As a result, the stability of the economy is in question and certain economists are even predicting another economy downturn by the year 2023. Regardless, the consumer spending stays high and unemployment rate is low. As of October 2021, the unemployment rate in the City of Tehachapi was 6.2% which was 1.1% lower than the State of California unemployment rate of 7.3% (1). More data are included in the Economic Condition section in the Transmittal Letter of this financial report.

Net Changes in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds $ 3,758,786 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of these assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.

Capital Outlay 2,880,792
Depreciation Expense (2,135,117)
Loss on Disposal (3,413)
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect premiums and discounts when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities.

Payments on Capital Leases 191,309
Some revenues reported in the Statement of Activities are not considered available to finance current expenditures and therefore are not reported as revenues in the governmental funds. (952,224)
Amounts for deferred inflows and deferred outflows related to the City's Net Pension Liability are not reported in the funds. This is the net change in deferred inflows and outflows related to the net pension liability.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2021
1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A) Reporting Entity
The City of Tehachapi was incorporated August 13, 1909 under the general laws of the State of California.

The City operates under a Council/City Manager form of government and provides the following services:
public safety (police and fire); community services; public works; general administrative services; and capital improvements.

As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government’s operations and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government.

The following is a brief overview of the component units included in the accompanying financial statements of the City.

Tehachapi City Financing Corporation (TCFC) - The Tehachapi City Financing Corporation was formed on September 26, 1990, as a Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation to render financial assistance to the City by issuing debt instruments. The members of the City Council serve in the capacity of the Board of Directors for the TCFC. The City has operational responsibility for the TCFC and has a financial benefit/burden relationship. The TCFC is included as a blended component of the City.

The TCFC does not issue separate financial statements.

B) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of inter-fund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.

The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are expenses that are clearly identifiable with a specific program, project, function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.

The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. The fiduciary funds also use the accrual basis of accounting. 41 City of Tehachapi
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2021
1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the providers have been met.

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collected within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period.

Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.

Taxes, intergovernmental revenues, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and are therefore recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period.

Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City.

The City reports the following major governmental funds:

The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the City, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

The Facility Impact Fee Special Revenue Fund is used to account for the restricted funds received to construct City facilities.

The Traffic Mitigation Special Revenue Fund is used to account for development impact fees restricted for traffic mitigation.

The Roads and Pedestrian Safety Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the financial resources and expenditures necessary for various road and pedestrian safety projects.

The Street Projects Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the financial resources and expenditures necessary for various street projects.

The City reports the following major proprietary funds:

The Water Utility, Sewer Utility, Airport and Refuse Funds are used to account for those operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise where the intent of the City Council is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.

Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:

The Custodial Funds are used to account for funds that are custodial in nature and do not involve measurements of results of operations. The City accounts for transactions of its special assessment districts and community facilities districts as custodial funds.

The Successor Agency Private-purpose Trust Fund is issued to account for the dissolution of the former Tehachapi Redevelopment Agency.

As a general rule, the effect of inter-fund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments in-lieu of taxes and other charges between the City’s water and sewer function and various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. 42 City of Tehachapi
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2021
1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided; 2) operating grants and contributions; and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

C) Implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Pronouncements The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has issued the following Statements, which may affect the City’s financial reporting requirements in the future:

GASB 87 – Leases: This Statement requires recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2021.

GASB 89 – Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period: This Statement establishes accounting requirements for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period. The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020.

GASB 91 - Conduit Debt Obligations: The primary objectives of this Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice. The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021.

D) Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position or Equity
Deposits and Investments
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds except for funds held in separate trust agreements. Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated quarterly to the various funds based on the average of the three months cash balance. Interest income from cash and investments of funds excluded from pooled cash is credited directly to the related fund. Investments are stated at fair value (the value at which an investment could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale).

Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of the interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the noncurrent portion of the interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a nonspendable fund balance account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of allowance for uncollectibles.

Taxes are levied on July 1 and are payable in two installments on December 10 and April 10. The County bills and collects the property taxes and remits them to the City in installments during the year. City property tax revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they result in current receivables. The County is permitted by State Law (Proposition 13) to levy taxes at 1% of full market value (at time of purchase) and can increase the property tax rate no more than 2% per year. The City receives a share of this basic levy.

Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed, rather than when purchased.

Restricted Assets
Amounts shown as restricted assets have been restricted by either bond indenture, by law, or contractual obligations to be used for specified purposes, such as servicing bonded debt and construction of capital assets. Included in cash and investments are restricted cash assets of $400,578 held by the various bond trustees and fiscal agents, $109,503 held for capital improvements and customer deposits, and $152,562 held for capital improvements and customer deposits in the Water Utility Fund.

Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets received prior to the implementation of GASB 72 were recorded at fair value on the date of donation. Donated capital assets received subsequent to the implementation of GASB 72 are recorded at acquisition value as of the date received. 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. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.

1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Capital assets of the City are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings 30 years
Machinery and Equipment 4 - 30 years
Structures and Other Improvements 10 - 40 years
Capital lease obligations of the Proprietary Funds are accounted for in the year of inception as a liability of the fund. The related asset is recorded as an asset of the fund.

Compensated Absences
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits.

Employees over the age of 55 who retire from the City are paid out 50% of their accrued sick leave. All vacation pay and 50% of available sick hours for employees’ over age 55 are accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary funds 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.

Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type 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.

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

Net Position
In the government-wide financial statements, net position is classified in the following categories:

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

Restricted describes the portion of net position which is restricted as to use by the terms and conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulation, laws, or other restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter.

Unrestricted describes the portion of net position which is not restricted to use.

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents consumption of net position that applies to future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until then. The City reports deferred outflows related to pensions. 45 City of Tehachapi
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2021
1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has certain items, which arise only under the modified accrual basis of accounting, which qualify for reporting in this category. Accordingly, unavailable revenue is reported in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from property taxes, special assessments, grant receivables, and other miscellaneous receivables. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. In addition, the City reports deferred inflows related to pensions.

Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g. restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the statement of net position, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position.

Fund Balances
Fund balances in governmental funds are reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance).

In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.

The following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints placed on the purposes for which resources can be used:

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

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

Committed Fund Balance - Amounts constrained for a specific purpose by City Council resolution. It would require the same action by City Council to remove the constraint. The City’s committed fund balance includes:

General Fund Emergency Contingency - The City’s General Fund balance committed for emergency contingencies has been set by resolution and is for specific uses listed as the declaration of a state or federal state of emergency or a local emergency.

Assigned Fund Balance - Amounts that are constrained by the City Council’s intent to use specified financial resources for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The City’s fund balance policy delegates the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes to the Finance Director for the purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements. 46 City of Tehachapi

1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Unassigned Fund Balance - This classification includes the residual balances of the government’s general fund and includes all spendable amounts not contained in other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification is used only to report deficit balances resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed or assigned.

Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City of Tehachapi’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS.

For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. 2) DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
A) Cash and Investments
The City’s cash and investments consisted of the following at June 30, 2021:

The City’s deposits and investments are reflected in the basic financial statements as follows:

Deposits
Custodial Credit Risk - Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned to it. The City’s deposit policy requires deposits to be covered by the federal depository insurance and collateral having a market value of 110% of the uninsured deposit. 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 governmental 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. As of June 30, 2021, the City’s deposits (bank balances) were insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation or collateralized as required under California Law.

Investments
As of June 30, 2021, the City had the following investments:

Authorized Investments
The investments listed above are managed by the City’s Finance Director and fiscal agents (bond trustees acting in accordance with bond covenants). Investments managed by the City’s Finance Director are invested in accordance with the City’s investment policy. Investments managed by bond trustees are invested in accordance with provisions of the respective bond agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy. The City’s Finance Director has direct oversight over the City’s pooled investment fund which covers cash and investments of the City’s governmental funds, proprietary funds, and agency funds which are invested in accordance with the City’s investment policy. The investment policy generally complies with California Government Code Section 53601 and its primary detail is as follows:

Maximum Maximum
Authorized Maximum Percentage Investment Minimum
Investment Type Maturity of Portfolio In One Issuer Ratings

U.S. Agencies 5 years 100% 100% None
U.S. Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds 5 years 100% 100% None Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) N/A None None None
Guaranteed Investment Contract N/A None None AA
Certificates of Deposit (CDs) 5 years 30% 100% A
Money Market Mutual Funds N/A 15% None None
Trust Indenture N/A None None None
Investments with fiscal agents represent investments held by the bond trustee. The City and its investment advisor select the investments under the terms of the applicable trust agreement, directs the bond trustee to acquire the investments, and the bond trustee then holds the investments on behalf of the City and/or its component units. Proceeds of bonds administered by bond trustees are also generally covered under the City Treasurer’s investment policy; however, specific provisions of each issuance are usually used in managing such investments.

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, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s and its component units’ investments to market rate fluctuations is provided in the table above that shows the 12 Months 13 to 24 25 to 60

distribution by maturity. The City’s investment policy generally complies with the State Government Code with respect to allowable investment instruments as a means of managing its fair value losses arising from changing interest rates. Guaranteed investment contracts are investments held by fiscal agents (bond trustees) and are restricted for construction projects and debt service.

Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligations to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy or debt agreements, and the Standard and Poor’s rating as of year-end for each investment type.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is the increased risk of loss if the City has a significant amount of investments with a single issuer. In accordance with the Investment Policy of the City, none of the investments categories listed exceeded the maximum allowable percentage of its portfolio. The City’s investment policy contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. There were no investments in any one issuer (other than U.S. Treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment pools) that represent 5% of more of total City investments in any of the major funds.

Custodial Credit Risk
For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Custodial credit risk for LAIF is not determinable.

Fair Value
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles.

The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

Investment in CSJVRMA Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority Investment Pool (CSJVRMA) that is regulated by California State Code section CGC 53601. The fair value of the City’s investment is based on the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value of the entire portfolio. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the records maintained by CSJVRMA, which is recorded on an amortized cost basis.

No-Commitment Debt
The City issued Assessment District limited obligation bonds to finance the construction of infrastructure improvements within the City through the use of Special Assessment Districts. The repayment of the bonds are payable from special assessments levied each year, or from foreclosure proceeds. The bonds do not constitute indebtedness of the City, and the City is in no way obligated for their repayment and is only acting on behalf of bondholders and initiating foreclosure proceedings, if necessary. Accordingly, these special assessments and special tax bonds payable have been excluded from the accompanying primary government financial statements.

Due to delinquent annual assessments, limited obligation bonds (Assessment Districts 89-2 and 89-3) amounting to $2,180,000 (principal only) are in default at June 30, 2021.

B) City Employee Retirement 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 (police and fire) 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 seven rate plans (three miscellaneous and four 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.

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, 2019 Annual Actuarial Valuation Report. Details of the benefits provided can be obtained in Appendix B of the June 30, 2019 actuarial valuation report.

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 is 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 $366,835 in fiscal year 2021. The City’s contributions to the plan for the year ended June 30, 2021 were $904,041.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows Related to Pensions As of June 30, 2021, the City reported a liability of $5,395,363 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2020, and the total pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2019 rolled forward to June 30, 2020 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 net pension liability as of June 30, 2019 and 2020 was as follows:

For the year ended June 30, 2021, the City recognized pension expense of $1,261,453. At June 30, 2021, the City reported deferred outflows and deferred inflows related to pensions from the following sources:

The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2017 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 1997 to 2015. Pre-retirement and Postretirement mortality rates include 15 years of projected mortality improvement using 90% of Scale MP-2016 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 December 2017 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 longterm 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 shortterm (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as followed:

Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. 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.

Notes:
1In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at 1.00%. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies within which the subject property resides. 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 voter approved bonds.  2Overlapping 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.
3The City's share of the 1.00% levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the City. ERAF general fund tax shifts may not be included in tax ratio figures. 4Redevelopment Rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area and only includes rate(s) from indebtedness adopted prior to 1989 per California State statute. RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the incremental property values. The approval of ABX126 eliminated Redevelopment from the State of California for the fiscal year 2012/23 and years thereafter.
5Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the City/Agency preparing the statistical section information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft. Beginning in 2013/14 the Total Direct Rate no longer includes revenue generated from the former redevelopment tax rate areas. Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations are assumed to have been resolved during 2012/13. For the purposes of this report, residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City/Agency in the same proportions as general fund revenue.

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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Tehachapi (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 28, 2021.

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) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion 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 may exist that have not been identified.

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 determination of financial statement amounts. 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 City’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 City’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

City Council
City of Tehachapi
Tehachapi, CA
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Tehachapi for the year ended June 30, 2021. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated May 24, 2021. 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 financial statements.

No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. 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 financial statements were:

Management’s estimate of the fair value of investments is based on information provided by financial institutions. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the fair value of investments in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Management’s estimate of capital assets depreciation is based on historical estimates of each capitalized item’s useful life. We evaluated key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimated useful lives in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Management’s estimate of the net pension liability is based on actuarial information provided by the California Public Employee Retirement System’s (CalPERS) actuarial office. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions to develop the net pension liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements 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:

The disclosure of the fair value of investments in Note 2 A to the financial statements represents amounts susceptible to market fluctuation.

The disclosure of accumulated depreciation in Note 2 C to the financial statements is based on estimated useful lives which could differ from actual useful lives of each capitalized item.

The disclosure of the net pension liability in Note 3 B to the financial statements is based on the City’s proportionate share of the total pension liability of the pool and includes assumptions for discount rates, which could differ from actual discount rates. Note 3 B discloses the differences in the net pension liability assuming different discount rates.

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

Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 28, 2021.

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 the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

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

Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to management’s discussion and analysis and the schedules listed as required supplementary information in the table of contents, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

We were engaged to report on the supplementary information as listed in the table of contents, 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 statistical section, 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
