To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Finance and Governmental Operations Committee
From: Ian Dailey, Finance Director
By: David Cessor, Accounting Manager | [email protected] Subject: Finance – Accept and File Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for Fiscal Year Ended 2024-2025. Expenditure: None.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the Finance Director that the Finance and Governmental Operations Committee:
1. Accept and file the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended 2024-2025; and
2. Recommend to City Council to accept and file the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year Ended 2024-2025.
FUNDING

DISCUSSION
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
As required by the City Charter, financial statements are prepared by the City’s Finance Department staff and audited by independent Certified Public Accountants annually. On June 22, 2021, City Council awarded a consulting services agreement to Vasquez & Company LLP (Auditor) of Glendale, CA to provide external auditing services for the fiscal years ending 2021, 2022 and 2023. On June 4, 2024, City Council approved a second amendment to the consulting services agreement to provide external auditing services for the fiscal year ending 2024. On May 6, 2024, City Council approved a third amendment to the consulting services agreement to provide external auditing services for the fiscal year ending 2025. The ACFR is comprised of the City’s audited financial statements which communicate its financial position and activity for each fiscal year ended June 30 in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) financial reporting framework. The GAAP financial reporting framework is set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), an independent agency responsible for determining current accounting and financial reporting standards for U.S. state and local government entities.
The Auditor has performed the audit of the ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 5A
1 City Council
March 12, 2026
(Attachment B), and issued an unmodified audit opinion as of December 30, 2025, stating that the financial statements present fairly in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP. In addition to receiving an unmodified audit opinion, the quality of the City’s financial reporting is also measured by the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting (Certificate of Achievement). This Certificate of Achievement is awarded by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) and is valid for a one-year period. The City has received this award annually since 1987 and was most recently recognized for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Staff believe the City continues to meet the GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement program requirements and have once again submitted the ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, for consideration.
Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year 2024-25 Audited Year-End Results General Fund:
The City’s General Fund revenues increased $7.9 million or 2.9% from the prior fiscal year. Within the General Fund revenues, there are seven main categories, of which the City experienced increases in four categories in fiscal year 2024-25.
• The largest revenue source in the General Fund is taxes, which decreased $9.3 million or
4.0%. $12.6 million of this decrease is strictly due to revenues related to franchise fees, Public Education Government fees, and alarm permit fees which were previously presented under the classification of Taxes and are now presented under the classification of Licenses, Fees, and Permits. After controlling for this presentation change, this classification effectively increased by $3.3 million primarily driven by the increase in Property Tax and Construction Tax receipts, partially offset by decreases in Sales Tax receipts.
• The second largest revenue source in the General Fund is charges for current services, which decreased $0.4 million or 1.6%.
• The third largest revenue source in the General Fund is licenses, fees and permits, which increased $13.3 million to $18.5 million in fiscal year 2024-25, compared to $5.2 million in fiscal year 2023-24. $11.8 million of this increase is strictly due to revenues related to franchise fees, Public Education Government fees, and alarm permit fees which were previously presented under the classification of Taxes and are now presented under the classification of Licenses, Fees, and Permits. After adjusting for this presentation change this classification effectively increased by $1.5 million primarily due to an increase in building permit revenues.
• The fourth largest revenue source in the General fund is use of money and property, which increased $3.8 million to $14.6 million in fiscal year 2024-25, compared to $10.8 million in fiscal year 2023-24. This increase is primarily due to increased investment earnings and increases in market value of securities.
• The City’s General Fund expenditures increased $34.5 million from $241.0 million in fiscal year 2023-24 to $275.5 million in fiscal year 2024-25. This increase was mainly driven by an increase in Public Safety expenditures of $20.9 million or 14.1% and increases in other functions of $13.7 million.
• Public Safety expenditures increased mainly due to increases in salaries and compensation of approximately $14.9 million (including $3.4 million related to incentives for employee recruitment and retention).

City Council
March 12, 2026
• Other significant areas of General Fund expenditure increases include: $6.3 million related to increased salaries and compensation for Non-Public Safety functions, and $4.3 million related to increased contributions to the self-insurance fund.
In total, the City’s General Fund fund balance increased $30.7 million in fiscal year 2024-25. A detailed summary of the General Fund’s audited financial statements is included in Attachment
1. While the General Fund realized a notable increase in the ending fund balance for FY24-25, staff believe this is still insufficient given the scale of the City’s operations as a full-service city. Ending General Fund unrestricted fund balance for FY24-25 was $104.8 million, which is 36.3% of its total expenditures and transfers out of $288.9 million. The State Auditor’s High-Risk Dashboard, which was discontinued in October 2023, previously required an unassigned fund balance equivalent to six months of operating costs, which translates to 50%, to move from the “moderate risk” category to the “low risk” category. As such, staff will continue to monitor the fiscal health of the City by conducting multi-year projections each year to ensure the City remains on a fiscally resilient and sustainable path going forward.
Self-Insurance Fund:
The City’s Self-Insurance Fund had a decrease in net position of $0.2 million or 0.4%, which is primarily due to estimated settlements and claims that were higher than anticipated. As of June 30, 2025, the fund balance deficit was $52.2 million. This is driven by existing outstanding liabilities in workers’ compensation claims of $49.5 million and general liability claims of $18.4 million. As of June 30, 2025, the current assets in this fund was $27.5 million. Despite the minor deficit in the FY24-25 performance, the City continues to make progress with Self-Insurance Fund’s funded status: as of the end of FY24-25, the Self-Insurance fund is approximately 34.6% funded, up from 29.5% in FY23-24. This indicates that cash is accumulating faster than liabilities are coming due. It is anticipated that one-time contributions can continue to be made over time to further rebuild the City’s Self-Insurance fund balance. This will be a continued area of focus in future budget cycles to ensure the City is prepared for funding its exposure. A detailed summary of the Self-Insurance Fund’s audited financial statements is also included in Attachment 1.

10 INTRODUCTORY SECTION
ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT
11 i
December 30, 2025
Honorable Mayor and City Council
and Citizens of the City of Torrance
In accordance with Article 11 of the City Charter, the Finance Department hereby submits the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the City of Torrance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
The report has been prepared by the Finance Department in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as set forth in pronouncements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). GASB has primary responsibility for determining current accounting and financial reporting standards for activities and transactions of state and local government entities.
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation rests with the City. The City believes the data is accurately presented in all material respects. The financial data is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the City as measured by the financial activity of its various funds and that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City's financial activity have been included.
REPORTING ENTITY
The Financial Reporting Entity (the gover nment) includes all the funds and capital assets of the primary government (i.e. the City of Torrance, as legally defined) as well as its financial reporting component units. Financial reporting component units such as the Torrance Public Property Financing and the Torrance Joint Powers Financing Authority are legally separate entities for which the City of Torrance is financially accountable.
THE CITY
The City of Torrance is Los Angeles County's eighth largest city, by population, was founded in 1912, incorporated in 1921, and became a charter city in 1947. The City has a population of 143,261 within a boundary of approximately 21 square miles. The
CITY OF
TORRANCE
12 ii
City borders the beautiful Pacific Ocean and is an integral part of the larger regional area known as the South Bay. The City of Torrance provides a wide range of services.
These services include police and fire protection; sanitation, sewer and water services; a library system; a cultural arts center and gallery; recreational services; a municipal airport and transit bus services; the construction and maintenance of streets and infrastructure; planning and zoning; and general administrative and support services.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS
The City continues its efforts to support local economic development through the City Manager’s Office of Economic Development targeted at attracting new businesses and as well as retaining those currently thriving in the City. In the area of tourism, the number of visitors to Torrance hotels has remained steady with occupancy higher than neighboring cities. Finally, several developments are underway throughout the City including the following:
Gable House Redevelopment Project (22501 Hawthorne Boulevard): 218 mixed-income apartments with 12,000 sq. ft. of commercial space; construction underway.
Del Amo Circle Apartments (21507 Hawthorne Boulevard): 200-unit, five- story complex with rooftop amenities; construction underway. Lennar Homes (21515 Madrona Avenue): 274-unit townhome community; construction underway.
Rose Equities (2325 Crenshaw Boulevard): 272-unit apartment complex with subterranean parking; project entitled.
City Ventures (1407-1455 Crenshaw Boulevard): 35-unit townhome development; in plan check phase.
Prologis (Northeast corner of Pr airie/Madrona Avenue and Del Amo Boulevard): 403,000 sq. ft. industrial warehous e with office space; in entitlement phase.
The Brookhollow Group (KP Torrance Comme rce Center, LLC): 132,425 sq. ft. industrial/cold storage facility; in plan check process.
This highlights just a few of the major developments underway as the City continues to prioritize numerous efforts to ensure ongoing growth in the City’s revenue base.
FINANCIAL FORECAST AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
The financial forecast and future outlook are discussed in greater detail in the Management Discussion and Analysis sect ion of the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
The City’s financial status continues to remain strong with the City’s unrestricted fund balance for the General Fund ending the fisc al year at $104.8 million, or 36.3% of annual expenditures. Staff continue to monitor the fiscal health of the City through multi-year projections. In these projec tions, CalPERS unfunded accrued liability payments are anticipated to increase over the next decade. To mitigate the impacts of these rising costs, the City has establis hed its CalPERS Section 115 Trust (CEPPT), 13 iii
which ended the fiscal year at $40.9 million and is part of the General Fund’s restricted fund balance. The City is currently budgeted to make its first drawdown from the CEPPT fund in fiscal year 2025-26 to smooth out these rising pension costs. Despite this planned use of fund balance, the City continues to project structural balance over the long-term in its 10-year financial model.
The City has made progress with the City’s Self -Insurance fund. Over the last five years, the City has been able to improve its funded status from 18.6% (FY20-21) to
34.6% (FY24-25). The enterprise funds cont inue to function well overall. Water rates were recently reevaluated, and rate increases were approved in November 2024. The Sewer/Wastewater rate increases and Sanitation/Refuse Collection rate increases were approved in December 2022 and June 2023, respectively.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
The City’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in c onformity with GAAP. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the above-referenced objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be realized; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
BUDGETARY CONTROLS
The City employs a two-year operating budget and a five-year capital budget process.
In year one of the biennial operating budget cycle, the City Council adopts authorized appropriations for the first year of the two-year budget and approves “planned” appropriations for the second fiscal year. In year two of the operating budget cycle, the City Council considers revisions and formally adopts authorized appropriations for the second fiscal year. Although the budget cycl e covers a two-year period, the City Charter requires City Council to approve the annual appropriations. The City’s Five- Year Capital Budget is updated each year, with amendments and appropriations done annually, similar to the operating budget bas ed on the financial viability to fund new infrastructure projects.
The City’s annual appropriated budget is es tablished and controlled at the fund and individual organization level (department). The budget is monitored at a more detailed level (program) that closely tracks cost. City Manager and Department Directors are held accountable for meeting the objectives within each of their programs, and for monitoring the use of budget allocations to ensure compliance with the legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council.
The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system as another technique in accomplishing budgetary control. All operating appropriations lapse at year-end to the 14 iv
extent they have not been expended or encumbered. Capital project appropriations lapse when individual projects are closed.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
The City Charter requires an annual audit of the records and accounts of the City by an independent Certified Public Accountant. This requirement has been complied with the auditor’s report which has been included in this report.
AWARDS
The staff of the City of Torrance Finance Department has continued its efforts to improve the method of providing financial information to the elected and appointed officials of the City and to the citizens of Torrance.
The Government Finance Offi cers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the City for the fiscal year 2025-26 Adopted Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Plan for the fourth consecutive year. Included with this designation was a special recognition for Special Long Range Financial Plans. The award is valid for one year only. In order to be awarded a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award an entity must meet the highest principles of governmental budgeting. The City had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. The guidelines assess how well a budget serves as a policy document, financial pl an, operations guide and a communications device.
Additionally, the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) awarded Operating Budget Excellence Award to the City for its annual budget document for the fiscal year 2024-25 for the second consecutive year. This award recognizes public sector agencies with well-presented budget documents, best practices, processes, and procedures and is valid for a one-year peri od. The City submitted an application for award consideration for the fiscal year 2025-26 Adopted Operating Budget, and we believe the budget document continues to meet the requirements.
The GFOA also awarded a Certificate of Ac hievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Torrance for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The City has received this award annually since 1987. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.
This report must satisfy both generally ac cepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only.
We believe our current annual comprehensive financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.

ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT
21 1
Independent Auditor’s Report
The Honorable Mayor and the Members of the
City Council
City of Torrance, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Torrance, California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, the budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year ended June 30, 202
5 , and the related notes to financial statements , which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective
financial position of the
government
al activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information o
f the
City of Torrance, California as
of June 30, 20 25 , the respective changes in financial position , the budgetary comparison for the General Fund, and where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards).
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion
s.
Emphasis of Matter
Implementation of a New Accounting Standard
As discussed in Notes 1 and 19, the City implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 101,
Compensated Absences
, during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2025. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. 22 2
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal con
trol relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the
City
’s ability
to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion s. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there i s a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and
Government Auditing Standards
, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the
amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the
City
’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
23 3
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis on pages 5 through 2 7 , an d the required supplementary information on pages 10 3 through 144 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the req uired supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the method s of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated , in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical section s but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. 24 4
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with
Government Auditing Standards
, we have also issued a report dated
December 30, 2025
on our consideration of the
City
’s internal control over financial reporting and our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of inte
rnal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
City’
s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.
That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing
Standards in considering the
City
’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025
The General Fund reported an ending fund balance of $150.8 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $120.1 million as of June 30, 2024, which represents an increase of $30.7 million. Excess revenues over expenditures (before transfers and SBITA) were $7.0 million in 2024-25, which represents a decrease from $33.6 million in 2023-24. More detailed analysis is included in the Financial Analysis section below.
OVERVIEW OF THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This annual report con
sists of a series of financial statements found in three main sections: government-wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and notes to the basic financial statements.
In Fiscal Year 2024-25, the City has implemented GASB 101 related to Compensated Absences which resulted in restatement of beginning net position in both the governmental activities and the business-type activities. The City also implemented GASB 102, this standard did not have an impact on the City’s financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide information about the financial activities of the City as a whole and present a longer view of the City’s finances, similar to private-sector businesses. These reports separate functions that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues ( governmental activities) from other functions that recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (
business-type activities
). Governmental activities include all of the City’s basic services, such as general government, public safety (police and fire), public works, community development, and culture and recreation. Property taxes, sales taxes, utility users’ taxes, and occupancy taxes finance most of these activities. Business- type activities include functions such as the City’s airport, transit, water, sanitation, and sewer funds.
The Statement of Net Position
provides information using the accrual basis of
accounting on all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources reported as net position. Over time, changes to a City’s net position may serve as one indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. Additional factors such as changes in the City’s revenue receipt pattern need to be considered in assessing the overall health of the City.
The Statement of Activities
provides information showing how the City’s net position changed during the fiscal year. The changes in net position are reported when revenues are earned and expenses are incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Fund financial statements. The City establishes funds as a grouping of related accounts to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal 6 28
CITY OF TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025
requirements. Additionally, some funds are required to be established by State law and by bond covenants. All the funds of the City can be divided into three categories:
governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported in the governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, governmental fund financial statements focus on near- term inflows and outflows of spendable res ources, as well as balances on these spendable resources at fiscal year-end. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. This information is helpful in assessing the City’s near-term financing requirements. Fund financials also report the City’s operations in greater detail compared to the government-wide statements by providing information about the City’s most significant funds.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government- wide financial statements, it is useful to compare information presented in the governmental funds with the governmental activities. This provides readers with a sense of the long-term impacts from the City’s near-term financing decisions. The governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances are both accompanied by a reconciliation to the government-wide financial statements to facilitate comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains 35 individual governmental funds for financial reporting purposes.
Information is presented separately in the governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the General Fund, which is the only major fund this fiscal year. Data for the remaining 34 non-major governmental funds are combined into a single, consolidated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the non-major funds supplementary information section of this report (special revenue, capital projects and debt service).
Proprietary Funds. Proprietary funds are used to account for the same functions reported in the government-wide financial st atements, with a greater level of detail including cash flows. The City maintains two types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and internal services funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same activity as business-type activities in the gover nment-wide financial statements. Internal service funds are an accounting device for funds that provide supplies and services to other programs and activities within the City as well as a way to account for inter-fund charges for City departments. The City uses internal service funds to account for its fleet services, risk management, and postemployment benefits operations. The proprietary fund financial statements provide information for the Transit System, Water, Sewer, and Municipal Airport funds, which are considered major funds of the City.
Fiduciary Funds.
Fiduciary funds consist of private-purpose trust funds and custodial funds. The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for its employees’ pension plans. It is also 7 29

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025
responsible for other assets that, because of a trust arrangement, can be used only for the trust beneficiaries. All of the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statement of Net Position – Fiduciary Funds. We exclude these activities from the City’s other financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The City is responsible for en suring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.
Notes to the basic financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. These notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements to have a greater understanding of the status of the City.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position can be a useful indicator, over time, of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $362.3 million at the close of this fiscal year.
As shown on the next page, the City’s net position is broken down to three main categories: net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted. Currently, the majority of the City’s net position, $513.4 million, is associated with net investment in capital assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens, therefore, these assets are not available for future spending. An additional portion of the City’s net position, $155.4 million, represents resources that have restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of the City’s unrestricted net position, ($306.5) million, represents the City’s unrestricted net position. Due to the implementation of GASB 68 and GASB 75, wh ich updated the way the City reported pensions and other postemployment benefits, this has made this value negative. The City continues to implement its financial plan, paying its CalPERS pension unfunded accrued liability (UAL) each year, to ensure that the City’s total pension liability is reduced over time. Additionally, in October 2020, the City issued $349.5 million in Lease Revenue Bonds that were utilized to pay down a large portion of the City’s UAL effectively refinancing this obligation at a reduced interest rate. It is anticipated this will save the City approximately $172.2 million over the duration of the bonds, which are fully paid down by Fiscal Year 2044.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025
The City’s net position for fiscal year 2024-25 compared to 2023-24 is shown in Table 1:
Total assets increased $110.0 million or 9.3% from the prior fiscal year. Governmental activities increased by $72.9 million and business-type activities increased by $37.1 million. The increase in governmental activity assets is primarily driven by increases in pooled cash and investments and cash with fiscal agents. The increase in business- type activity assets is primarily driven by increases in pooled cash and investments and accounts receivable (specifically accounts receivable related to the pending receipt of a substantial legal settlement).
Total deferred outflows of resources decreased by $54.7 million from the prior fiscal year. Governmental activities decreased $49.5 million and business-type activities decreased $5.2 million. Per GASB 68, deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to future reporting periods. The decrease in the deferred outflows of resources was primarily due to decreased in differences in projected and actual earnings for pension plans.
Total liabilities increased $14.6 million or 1.7%
from the prior fiscal year. Governmental
activities increased by $3.4 million and business-type activities increased by $11.2 million. The increase in governmental activities is primarily driven by increases in accrued settlement liabilities in the Self Insurance fund offset by decreases in total pension liability. The increase in business- type activities is primarily driven by the issuance of new debt in the Water Enterprise Fund to fund the construction of new ground water wells and a new transmission main.

Governmental Activities: Revenues. The City’s governmental activities total revenues of $364.4 million, by category, are shown below in Figure A-1.
Overall, revenues for the City’s governmental activities increased by $17.1 million, or
4.9%. The largest category of revenue for governmental activities is sales tax, which represents 22.7% of total governmental activities revenues. This category totaled $82.7 million in fiscal year 2024-25, compared to $85.5 million in fiscal year 2023-24, which is a decrease of $2.8 million or 3.3%. This is primarily due to lower sales tax receipts than prior year, specifically in the category of Business and Industry. The second largest category is property tax (including all rolls and vehicle license fee swap), which represents 18.5% of total governmental activities revenues. This category totaled $67.4 million in fiscal year 2024-25, compared to $64.2 million in fiscal year 2023-24, which is an increase of $3.2 million or 5.0%. This is primarily due to growth in the City’s net taxable assessed property values. The third largest category, the Charges for Services classification, represents 13.3% of total governmental activities revenues. This category totaled $48.4 million in fiscal year 2024-25, compared to $33.8 million in fiscal year 2023-24, which is a $14.6 million or 43.2% increase. $11.8 million of this is strict ly due to change in financial reporting presentation noted in MD&A Note 1 (see page 20). After adjusting for this presentation 12 34

change, this increase is primarily due to increased revenues related to building permits and parking citations. The fourth largest category of revenues for governmental activities, investment earnings, increased by $5.5 million to $40.9 million in fiscal year 2024-25, up from $35.4 million in 2023-24. The fifth largest category is utility user’s tax, which represents 11.2% of total governmental activities revenue. This category totaled $40.9 million in fiscal year 2024-25, compared to $40.7 million in fiscal year 2023-24, which is an increase of $0.2 million or 0.5%.
The category of Other Taxes decreased by $ 10.8 million to $8.3 million in fiscal year 2024-2025, down from $19.1 million in fiscal year 2023-24. $12.6 million of this decrease is strictly due to change in financial reporting presentation noted in MD&A Note 1 (see page 20). After adjusting for this presentation change, this revenue classification increased largely due to increased receipts for Construction Tax compared to the prior fiscal year.

Governmental Activities: Expenses and Program Revenues. The following chart, Figure A-3, compares program revenues and expenses for governmental activities (excluding interest on long-term debt).
The comparison of direct expenses and program revenues demonstrates the extent to which each functional area is self-financing or draws from the general revenues of the City. A higher percentage of program revenues to direct expenses indicates a particular function is more self-sustaining through program revenues generated by activities of that function. In contrast, a lower percentage of program revenues to direct expenses indicates a function is primarily financed through general revenues.
The function with the highest percentage of program revenues to direct expenses in fiscal year 2024-25 is Community Development. Community Development had expenses of $20.8 million and program revenues of $21.0 million, which is a ratio of 101.0%. The second highest is Public Works. Public Works had expenses of $47.0 million and program revenues of $28.6 millio n, which is a ratio of 60.9%. The third highest is General Government. General Government had expenses of $50.6 million and program revenues of $26.9 million, which is a ratio of 53.2%.
The function with the lowest percentage of program revenues to direct expenses in fiscal year 2024-25 is Public Safety. Public Safety had expenses of $200.1 million and program revenues of $15.5 million, which is
a ratio of 7.7%. The second lowest is

Overall, revenues for the City’s business-type activities increased by $32.4 million, or

This category totaled $30.8 million in fiscal year 2024-25, compared to $26.0 million in fiscal year 2023-24, which is an increase of $4.8 million or 18.5%, primarily due to receipt of additional grant funding for the Transit Fund.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S MAJOR FUNDS
Governmental funds
The focus of the City’s major governmental funds is to provide information on near- term inflows, outflows, and balances on spendable resources. As the City completed the year, its governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $253.6 million (See Table 3). The General Fund is the main operating fund of the City and is the only major fund this year.
General Fund
As shown in Table 3, General Fund revenues increased $7.9 million or 2.9% from the prior fiscal year. Within the General Fund revenues, there are seven main categories, of which the City experienced increases in four categories in fiscal year 2024-25. The largest revenue source in the General Fund is taxes, which decreased $9.3 million or
4.0%. $12.6 million of this decrease is strictly due to change in financial reporting presentation noted in MD&A Note 1. After controlling for this presentation change, this 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024

classification effectively increased by $3.3 million primarily driven by the increase in Property Tax and Construction Tax receipts, partially offset by decreases in Sales Tax receipts. The second largest revenue source in the General Fund is charges for current services, which decreased $0.4 million or 1.6%. The third largest revenue source in the General Fund is licenses, fees and permits, which increased $13.3 million to $18.5 million in fiscal year 2024- 25, compared to $5.2 million in fiscal year 2023-24. $11.8 million of this increase is st rictly due to change in financial reporting presentation noted in MD&A Note 1 (see below). After adjusting for this presentation change this classification effectively increased by $1.5 million primarily due to an increase in building permit revenues. The fourth largest revenue source in the General fund is use of money and property, which in creased $3.8 million to $14.6 million in fiscal year 2024-25, compared to $10.8 million in fiscal year 2023-24. This increase is primarily due to increased investment earnings and increases in market value of securities.
General Fund expenditures increased $34.5 million from $241.0 million in fiscal year 2023-24 to $275.5 million in fiscal year 2024-25. This increase was mainly driven by an increase in Public Safety of $20.9 million or 14.1% and increases in other functions of $13.7 million. Public Safety expenditures increased mainly due to increases in salaries and compensation of approxim
ately $14.9 million (i
ncluding $3.4 million
related to incentives for employee recruitment and retention). Other significant areas of General Fund expenditure increases incl ude: $6.3 million related to increased salaries and compensation for Non-Public Safety functions, and $4.3 million related to increased contributions to the self-insurance fund.
The fund balance increased $30.7 million in General Fund in fiscal year 2024-25, down from $41.7 million in fiscal year 2023-24.

Proprietary funds
The Enterprise Funds provide the same basic type of information found in the government-wide financial statements but in more detail. The major funds reported are the Transit System Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund, and Municipal Airport Fund.
The Transit Fund has a decrease in fund net position of $1.8 million compared to the decrease of $1.9 million in fiscal year 2023 -24. The slight improvement in change of net position is mainly driven by increases in Passenger Fares and Transit Access Pass Revenues.
The Water Fund had an increase in fund net position of $8.3 million compared to the increase of $7.3 million in fiscal year 2023-24. The increase in change of net position is significantly due to increased Charges for Services revenues resulting from annual water rate increases that went into effect on January 1, 2025. Subsequent increases are scheduled to be implemented annually through 2029.
The Sewer Fund had an increase in fund net position of $3.4 million compared to the increase of $2.9 million in fiscal year 2023-24, primarily driven by increased Charges for Services revenues resulting from annual sewer rate increases that went into effect on January 1, 2025. Subsequent increases are scheduled to be implemented annually through 2027.
The Municipal Airport Fund had an increase in fund net position of $9.9 million, compared to the increase of $5.8 million in fiscal year 2023-24. The increased change in net position is primarily related to the accrual of significant settlements associated with ongoing remediation efforts.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Over the course of the year, the City has made revisions to its budget upon City Council’s approval. The budget amendments fall into the following categories:
Program modifications presented to the Finance and Governmental Operations Committee during its first quarter and mid-year budget review presentations. Upon approval of the Finance and Governmental Operations Committee, these program modifications were taken to Cit
y Council for final approval.
Budget appropriations and modifications presented directly to the City Council for approval.
Budget transfers within the respective General Fund departments are also subject to approval by the department head and City Manager’s Office.

Although the City amended its General Fund expenditure budget, actual charges to appropriations exceeded the final adopted budget amounts by $3.3 million. The budgetary fund balance for July 1, 2025 exceeded the final budgeted values primarily due to revenues that outperformed the budget, specifically transfers in from the Airport fund related to significant settlements asso ciated with ongoing remediation efforts.
The total expenditure generated a negative budgetary variance only due to the recording of non-cash adjustments related to Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs).
The City’s General Fund fund balance of $150.8 million differs from the General Fund’s budgetary fund balance of $147.5 million bec ause $3.3 million of encumbrances are included for budgetary purposes.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES
Key Highlights of the 2025-26 Budget
(Reference the 2025-26 Adopted Budget and Capital Improvement Plan along with the Fiscal Year 2025-26 First Quarter Budget Review Report)
The City Council adopted in June 2025, the first year (fiscal year 2025-26) of the Two- Year Operating budget. Entering the May budget public hearings, staff projected a structurally balanced General Fund Operating Fund budget. Additionally, there was a budgeted decrease to the General Fund’s overall fund balance of $11 million as a result of planned use of the City’s pension prefunding trust to smooth the rising costs of the City’s CalPERS pension costs and additional one-time contributions to the City’s Capital Improvement Funds.
The fiscal year 2024-25 Bu dget was awarded the Gove
rnment Finance Officers
Association’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Program. Additionally, the fiscal year 2024-25 budget was awarded the California Society of Municipal Finance Office’s Operating Budget Excellence Aw ard. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget will also be submitted for consideration, it is anticipated that City will be notified in January if they have received this award.
Staff provided a First Quarter Budget Review Report in December 2025 for fiscal year 2025-26, which indicated that the General Fund Operating Fund revenues were projected to realize a deficit of $3.9 million largely due to one-time litigation expense in the Airport Fund temporarily lowering Operating Transfers In by $4.7 million.
Additionally, it is projected that the General Fund Operating Fund’s expenditure budget will operate at a surplus of $4.7 millio n. This is largely driven by vacancies savings. As a result, the General Fund Operating Fund is projected to net a deficit of $8.2 in fiscal year 2025-26.
This Budget Review Report highlighted other Areas of Focus that will be monitored for years to come. This includes:
Self-Insurance Fund : The City’s Self Insurance Fund covers expenditures associated with non-litigated claims, liability claims and settlements, workers’ compensation cases, and unemployment insurance payments. This fund generates its revenues by allocating costs to the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, and Internal Service Funds. As of June 30, 2025, this fund was underfunded by approximately $52.2 million. This is driven by existing outstanding liabilities in workers’ compensation totaling $49.5 million and liability claims of $18.4 million. As of June 30, 2025, the fund’s assets stand at $27.5 million. As a result, the Self -Insurance Fund is approximately 35% funded, which continues to place it in the High-Risk Category of the City’s Key Performance Indicator tracking. This will be a continued Area of Focus in future quarterly budget updates and budget cycles to ensure the City is adequately prepared for funding its exposure.
Labor Trends : Beginning in fiscal year 2021-22, the City sustained a significant spike in retirements and voluntary resignations. The most cited reasons for these departures were better salaries, benefits, flexibility and 25 47

advancement opportunity. Staff highlighted positive trends in fiscal year 2025- 26 vacancies and voluntary resignations which have now declined since their peak in fiscal year 2021-22. Staff continue closely monitoring these metrics to ensure the City remains attractive and competitive and retains a talented workforce.
Aging Infrastructure and City Facilities/Parks:
The City owns and operates
$1 billion worth of buildings, public facilities, and infrastructure (book value).
With each passing year, these buildings age and deteriorate, many of which are still in their original condition. Currently, the City’s capital assets have passed their half-life mark, requiring heavy maintenance, upgrades, and repairs. During FY23-24, the City completed a Building Index Study and assessed the current state of the City’s building and park assets. The Building Index Study, which did not include park playgrounds, playing courts, or utility infrastructure at parks, identified $205 million as the minimum investment required over the next 10 years to maintain the current state of the City’s buildings. This translates to approximately $20.5 million per year, exceeding the City’s fiscal capacity of approximately $8 million on a recurring basis. This will be of continued focus in coming budget cycles to ensure the City’s assets are properly maintained.
Pension/OPEB Liability Management: The City continues to focus on this topic due to the significant impact it can have on the City’s financials from year to year. In FY24-25, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) reported investment gains of 12.1%, surpassing its discount rate of
6.8%. This will translate to a decrease in unfunded accrued liability (UAL) payments over the amortized period of 20 years, beginning in FY27-28. To help mitigate the impacts of fluctuations in CalPERS investment performance, the City established a Section 115 Trust with CalPERS (CEPPT). This restricted fund serves as a supplemental reserve to the City’s Economic Anomaly Reserve, specifically dedicated to pension costs. The City is projected to make its first drawdown of $7.3 million from the CEPPT Fund in FY25-26 to smooth the rising pension costs previously mentioned.
Additionally, as part of negotiations with the Torrance Professional and Supervisory Association (TPSA) and Engineers and Fiscal Employees Association (TFEA) in 2024, the PARS supplemental pension was frozen capping the accrued liability of this pl an. The City will continue to make its actuarially determined contribution each fiscal year addressing the funded status of this plan over coming budget cycles.
Employee Pensions and Related Debt:
The City is primarily a service organization with 73.3% of the General Fund budget in labor.
CalPERS pension and related debt costs (2020 Lease Revenue Bond) as percentage of the general fund budget is 17.5% (CalPERS cost is 11.6% and LRB cost 5.9%).
o Based on CalPERS 12.1% estimated investment return in fiscal year 2024-25.

CITY OF TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
For the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025
The City has implemented “tiered” pension benefits that transfers more of the pension costs to new employees while reducing some pension benefits. The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act was implemented at the state level and implemented by the City with new members sharing in 50% of normal costs.
During fiscal year 2020-21 the City issued Lease Revenue Bonds totaling $349.5 million to pay down its UAL with CalPERS. The City projects this will save approximately $172.2 million ov
er the duration of the bonds without
extending the amortization period.
Beginning in fiscal year 2021-22, the City began making contributions to a Section 115 pension prefunding trust as an additional tool to address fluctuations in pension payments. As of June 30, 2025 the balance stands at $40.9 million. In fiscal year 2025-26 an additional contribution of $2.3 million was made.
Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB):
The City continues to fund its actuarially determined contributions for Other Postemployment Benefits.
OPEB mainly covers health benefits fo r retirees of roughly $158 a month for Miscellaneous employees and up to an additional $146.50 to $332.62 a month for Fire and Police retirees.

CITY OF TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
The change in net position reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position is different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Depreciation expense (excluding internal service funds) Asset additions funded by Governmental Funds
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds), 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. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.
Bond principal payment
Amortization of bond premium
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting used in the governmental funds, expenditures are not recognized for transactions that are not normally paid with expendable, available financial resources. In the Statement of Activities, however, which is presented on the accrual basis, expenses and liabilities are reported regardless of when financial resources are available. In addition, interest on long-term debt is not recognized under the modified accrual basis until due, rather than as it accrues. This adjustment combines the net changes of accrued interest and advances.
Accrued interest payable on bonded debt
Notes payable
Subscription payment
Governmental funds report pension contributions as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, pension expense is measured as the change in total pension liability and the amortization of deferred outflows and inflows related to pensions. This amount represents the net change in pension related amounts.
Change in net position of governmental activities
See accompanying notes to the basic financial statements Compensated absences (excluding internal service funds) Interest receivable on advance to Successor Agency
SBITA
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of fleet management and self- insurance to individual funds. The net revenue of certain activities are reported with the governmental activities.
Governmental funds report OPEB benefits paid to retirees as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, OPEB expense is measured as the change in total OPEB liability and the amortization of deferred outflows and inflows related to OPEB. This amount represents the net change in OPEB related amounts.

(1) Description of Funds and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Reporting Entity
The City of Torrance (the City) was incorporated in 1921 and became a charter city in 1947. The City is governed by an elected mayor and a si
x-member council and provides a wide range of
services including police and fire protection, sanita tion and water services, airport and bus transit services, the construction and maintenance of street s and infrastructure, and recreational activities.
The accompanying annual comprehensive financial report includes the financial activities of the City, the primary government, and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. A descr iption of the component units and the method of incorporating their financial information into the financial statements are summarized as follows:
The Torrance Joint Powers Financing Authority (the Authority) was created in 2020 by the City and the Industrial Development Authority of the City to assist the City with its financing programs. The City is obligated to make certain payments to
California Public Employees’ Retirement System
(CalPERS) in respect of current and retired public safety employees and miscellaneous employees under the pension programs of CalPERS. The Aut
hority issued revenue bonds for the purpose of
refunding all or a portion of the City’s obligatio ns under the CalPERS contract. In addition, the Authority issued revenue bonds to refund all or a portion of the City’s obligations with respect to its Certificates of Participation, Series 2014, and to finance the North Torrance Well Field Project. The financial activity of the Authority has been blended into the City’s financial statements within the Governmental Activities in the financial statements.
Separate financial statements for the Torrance Jo int Powers Financing Authority can be obtained from the City’s Finance Director.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The Government-wide Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position. These st atements present summaries of Governmental and Business-Type Activities for the City accompanied by a total column. Fiduciary activities of the City are not included in these statements. Certai n eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34 in regards to interfund activ ities, payables and receivables. All internal balances in the Statement of Net Position have b een eliminated except those representing balances between the governmental activities and the business-t ype activities. When such balances exist, they are presented as internal balances and elimin ated in the total primar
y government column.
Governmental activities, which normally are suppo rted 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 and Changes in Net
Position demonstrates the degree to which the
direct and indirect expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Indirect expenses are allocated based on the annual City-wide cost allocation plan. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, 47 75
CITY OF TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2025
services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions, including special assessments that are restricted to meeting the op erational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes a
nd other items not properly included among program
revenue are reported instead as general revenues. In the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position, internal service fund transactions have been eliminated; however, those transactions between the governmental and business type activities have not been eliminated.
The underlying accounting system of the City is or ganized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a separ ate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred infl ows of resources, net position, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Governme ntal resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, enterprise funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the Government-wide financial statements, major individual governmental funds and major indivi dual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focu s indicates the type of
resources being measured
such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.
The government-wide financial statements are re ported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as ar e the proprietary fund and private-purpose trust funds financial statements. Under the economic
resources measurement focus, all assets, deferred
outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflow s of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their statements of net position. Operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. 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 provider have been met.
The City’s fiduciary fund financial statements report custodial funds and private-purpose trust funds. Custodial funds are used to account for si tuations where the government’s role is purely custodial. Private-purpose trust funds and custod ial funds are accounted for using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2025
Governmental fund financial statements are pr epared using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in these funds when susceptible to accrual (i.e. when they are both measurable and available). “Measurabl e” means the amount of the transaction can be determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used 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, except for franchise taxes and grant revenues (for which the av ailability period is 180 days). Property taxes, taxpayer-assessed tax revenues (e.g., franchise taxes, sales taxes, motor vehicle fees, etc.), licenses, permits, charges for services, interest, and other miscellaneous revenues associated with the current fiscal period are all considered susceptible to accr ual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Expenditures in the govern mental funds are generally recognized in the accounting period in which the related fund liabil ity is incurred, if measurable, except for unmatured principal and interest on general long term debt, which is recognized when due.
The City reports the following major Governmental Fund:
The General Fund is the government’s primary operati ng fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The City reports the following major Enterprise Funds:
The Transit System Fund is used to account for the operation of the City’s transit system.
The Water Fund is used to account for the provision of water services to the residences and businesses of the City.
The Sewer Fund is used to account for the revenues and expenses associated with the operation and improvement of the City’s sewer system.
The Municipal Airport Fund
is used to account for the airfield operations of the City and leasing of commercial property outside of the airfield.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceed s of specific revenue sources (other than special assessments, expendable trusts, or ma jor capital projects), that are restricted to expenditures for special purposes.
The Capital Project Funds are used to account for the acquisition, construction and improvement of capital facilities financed by transfers from the General Fund or debt financing.
The Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulati on of resources for, and the payment of, long-term debt principal, interest and re lated costs other than those being financed by proprietary funds.

The Internal Service Funds consist of the Fleet Services Fund which is used to account for costs relating to the City’s vehicular equipment; the Self-Insurance Fund that is used to account for risk management activities and the Postemployment/Com pensated Absences Fund that is used to account for inter-fund charges for postemployment
and compensated absence
s benefits. These
funds are financed by charges to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
The Trust and
Custodial Funds are used to account for the resource s held by the City in a fiduciary capacity. The City's fiduciary funds include custodial funds, which are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and a private-purpose trust fund which does include measurement of results of operations. The custodial funds are included in the Statement of Net Position and in the Statement of Changes in Net Position – Fiduciary Fund s and are accounted for on an accrual basis of accounting. The City uses a custodial (fiduciary) funds to account for safekeeping and disbursement of the private property collected and held in the custody of the police department in the Property Room Evidence Fund, the Area G Citiz en Corps Program Fund to account for Area G cities’ contributions to finance the community em ergency response teams, and the Interoperability Network of South Bay Fund to account for memb er city revenues to finance a wide-area interoperable government communications netw ork. The City uses a private-purpose trust (fiduciary) fund to account for th e successor agency activities since
the dissolution of the former
redevelopment agency (governmental) funds on February 1, 2012 (see Note 22).
The Enterprise Funds are presented on an “economic resour ces” measurement focus and the full- accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, includi ng capital assets, infrastructure assets, and long- term liabilities, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Positi on presents changes in net assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The types of transactions reported as program revenues for the City are reporte d in three categories: 1) charges for services, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions.
Enterprise funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with an enterprise fund’s prin
cipal ongoing operations. The principal operating
revenues for the Water Enterprise Fund, the Sewer Enterprise Fund, the Sanitation Enterprise Fund, the Transit System Enterprise Fund, and the M
unicipal Airport Enterprise Fund are charges for
goods and services. Operating expenses for these same enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administration expenses, and de preciation 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 government’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources, as they are needed. 50 78

Year ended June 30, 2025
Accounting for Encumbrances
The encumbrance system of accountin g is used. An encumbrance is
recorded as a charge against
appropriations in the accounting period in which a purchase order is issued, rather than in the accounting period when goods or services are received, as required by the United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Encumbrances at year end are reported as restricted, committed, or assigned depending on the resources that have been identified to fund the applicable encumbrance.
Cash and Investments
The City pools all nonrestricted cash from all funds for the purpose of increasing interest earnings through investment activities. Investments are carried at fair value. Fair value is estimated by the City’s investment management service. The fair value of guaranteed investment contracts and other investments with no regular market are at co st. The fair value of mutual funds, government- sponsored investment pools and other similar investme nts is stated at share value. Certain money market investments with initial maturities at the time of the purchase of less than one year are recorded at cost which approximates market. Inte rest income is allocated monthly to the various funds based on their average monthly cash balances. Interest income earned on restricted cash and investments is deposited directly to the fund earning the income.
For purposes of reporting cash flows for Enterprise Fund types, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and investments purchased with maturiti es within 90 days. Cash includes deposits in the cash management pool that has the general characteristics of a demand deposit account.
Cash and Cash Equivalents with Fiscal Agents
Cash and investments restricted as to their use by debt resolutions.
Inventories and Prepaids
Inventories of supplies as determined by perpetua
l records are accounted for using the consumption
method and are stated at cost applied on a first-in, first-out basis.
Prepaids are items that were paid in the current fiscal year but pertain to the next fiscal year activities. The governmental funds use the consumption method in accounting for prepaids.
Capital Assets
The City’s assets are capitalized at historical cost or estimated historical cost. City policy has set the capitalization threshold for reporting capital assets at $5,000. Gifts or contributions of capital assets are recorded at acquisition value when receive d. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets as follows:
51 79
CITY OF TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2025
Buildings – 40 years
Improvements – 40 years
Equipment – 5 to 7 years
Infrastructure – 25 to 80 years
For Enterprise Fund types, capital assets are recorded at historical cost, except assets of the Water Enterprise Fund acquired prior to June 30, 1980 whic h are recorded at their estimated historical cost. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Property Tax Calendar
In 1978, a state constitutional amendment (Propositi on 13) provided that the property tax rate is generally limited to 1% of market value, levied only by the County and shared with all other jurisdictions. The County of Los Angeles collects the taxes and distributes such revenues to taxing jurisdictions on the basis of the taxing jurisdicti ons’ assessed valuations subject to adjustments for voter-approved debt. Property taxes levied on March 1, are due on November 1 and March 1 and become delinquent on December 10 and April 10 for th e first and second installments, respectively.
The lien date is January 1. City
property tax revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they result in current receivables
collectible within 60 days.
Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the total pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about th e fiduciary net position of the Local Government of the City’s 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.
Similar information for the PARS Enhanced Retirement Defined Benefit Pension Plan is based on its own actuarial report. For this purpose, benefit payments (includi ng refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payabl e in accordance with the benefit terms of each plan. Investments are reported at fair value.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statem ent 68 (GASB 68) requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset informati on within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
CalPERS pension:

For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability and deferred outflows /inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expe nse, information about the fiduc iary net position of the Local Government of the City’s OPEB plan (Plan) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basi s as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Stat ement 75 (GASB 75) requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset informati on within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:

Measurement date (MD) June 30, 2024
Measurement period (MP) July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Vacation and Sick Leave
It is the policy of the City to
record the cost of vested vacation and sick leave as earned. This amount is included as a liability in the governmental activities in government-wide statements.
Claims and Judgments
The City is self-insured for State unemployment insurance, general liability claims, long-term disability and individual workers’ compensation claims of City employees up to certain limits. The City has established risk financing Internal Se rvice Funds where assets are set aside for claim settlements. The unpaid claims liabilities are included in the Self-Insurance Internal Service Fund.
Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Positi on and the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources , represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time. The City h
as the following items that qualify for reporting in
this category:
Deferred loss on refunding, net of accumulate d amortization reported in the government-wide statement of net position. A deferred loss on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and 53 81
CITY OF TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA

amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
Deferred outflows related to pensions/OPEB e qual to employer contributions made after the measurement date of the total pension/OPEB liability.
Deferred outflows related to pensions for diff erences between expected and actual experience.
This amount is amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the plans.
Deferred outflows from pensions resulting fro m changes in assumptions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the av
erage expected remaining service lives of all
employees that are provided with pensions through the plans.
Deferred outflows related to pension/OPEB from difference between projected and actual earnings on investments.
In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position and the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred in
flows of resources. This separate financial
statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for reporting in this category:
Deferred inflows from unavailable revenues, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, is reported only in the government al funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues for interest. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
Deferred inflows related to pensions/OPEB for differences between expected and actual experience. This amount is amortized over a clo sed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pens ions/OPEB through the plans.
Deferred inflows from pensions/OPEB resulti ng from changes in assumptions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions/OPEB through the plans.
Deferred inflows related to pensions/OPEB resulting from the difference in projected and actual earnings on investments of the pensions/OPEB plan fiduciary net position. These amounts are amortized over five years.
Deferred inflows related to certain leases wh ich are measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during the lease term, plus any payments received at or before the commencement of the lease term that relate to future periods.

Fund Balance
Fund balances are reported in the fund statements in the following classifications:
Nonspendable Fund Balance
Nonspendable Fund Balance – this includes amounts th at cannot be spent beca use they are either not spendable in physical form (such as inventory) or that are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact (such as endowments).
Spendable Fund Balance
Restricted Fund Balance – this includes amount s that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by external legal requirements im posed by other governments, external resource providers, or creditors. City Council imposed rest rictions do not create restricted fund balance unless the legal document that initially authorized th
e revenue (associated with
that portion of fund
balance) also included language that specified the limited use for which the authorized revenues were to be expended.
Committed Fund Balance – this includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to the most binding constraint imposed by formal action of the City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other pur pose unless City Council rescinds or modifies the specified use by resolution. If the Council resolution that limits the use of the funds was separate from the action that initially created the reve nues that form the basis for the fund balance, then the resultant fund balance is considered to be committed, not restricted. The City considers a resolution to constitute a formal action of City Council for the purposes of establishing committed fund balance.
Assigned Fund Balance – this includes amounts that ar e intended to be used for specific purposes.
In Section 3 of the Operating Budget Resolution of the City, City Council delegated authority to assign amounts for specific purposes to the City Manager.
Unassigned Fund Balance – this includes the rema ining spendable amounts which are not included in one of the other classifications. The Gene ral Fund is the only fund that reports positive unassigned fund balance. In other governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeded the amounts restricted, committe d, or assigned to those purposes, negative unassigned fund balance is reported.
It is the City’s policy that restricted resources will be applied first, followed by (in order of application) committed, assigned, and unassigned resources, in the absence of a formal policy adopted by the Council.

Net Position
In the government-wide financial
statements and proprietary fund
financial statements, net position
is reported in three classifications:
Net Investment in Capital Assets - This amount consists of capital assets net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt and cap ital related payables that is attributed to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of the assets.
Restricted Net Position - This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments.
Unrestricted Net Position - This amount is all net position that does not meet the definition of “net investment in capital assets” or “restricted net position”.
Net Position Flow Assumptions
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 positi on in the government-wide and proprietary 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 practice to consider restricted ne t position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.
Budgetary Principles
The City uses the modified accrual plus encumbra nces as its budgetary basis of accounting. The City is required by its Charter to adopt an annual budget. On or befo re the first day of June each year, the City Manager shall submit to City Council a proposed budget for all departments. The said budget shall include estimates for all revenues and expenditures for the ensuing year. From the effective date of the budget, the amounts stated therein, as proposed expenditures become appropriations to the various City departments. The following governmental funds are annually appropriated: General Fund, Debt Service Fund, Rental Assistance Program Fund, Street Lighting District Assessment Fund, Vanpool Rideshare Fund, Low Mod Housing Fund, and Meadow Park Parking Lot District Fund. Budgets for the Cap ital Improvement Fund and Special Revenue Capital Project Funds are long-term in nature. Therefor e, no budgetary comparisons are presented in the accompanying financial statements. The enterprise f
unds with annual appropriations are: Transit
System Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund, Municipal Airport Fund, and Sanitation Fund.
The City Council may amend the budget by a major ity vote during the fiscal year. The City Manager may make such changes within the budget totals and allocations of any department during 56 84

the fiscal year as he deems reasonably necessary in order to meet the City’s needs or goals, however, the City Manager may not increase appr opriations allocated in the budget for any department without an amendment to the budget approved by the City Council. All operating appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent they have not been expended or encumbered. Capital project appropriations la pse when individual projects are completed or canceled.
Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the department level. Budgeted revenue amounts, as presented in the accompanying financial statements, represent the original budget as modified by adjustments during the year for those items which were contingent upon new or additional revenue sources. Budgeted expenditure amounts repr esent original appropriations adjusted for supplemental appropriations during the year.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Current Year Standards
GASB 101, “Compensated Absences”, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. This statement updates the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences through aligning the guidance under a unified mode l and by amending certain previously required disclosures. It requires that liabilities for compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not been used and (2) leave that has been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means. It establishes guidance for measuring the lia bility by using an employee’s pay rate as of the date of the financial statements. The implementa tion of this new accounting standard resulted in restatement of beginning net position in both th e governmental activities and the business-type activities.
GASB 102, “Certain Risk Disclosures”,
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. This statement provides users of government
financial statements with essential information
about risks related to a government’s vulnerabilities due
to certain concentrations or constraints. It
defines concentration as a lack of diversity related to an aspect of a significant inflow of resources or outflow of resources. A constraint is a limita tion imposed on a government by an external party or by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority. The implementation of this standard did not have an impact on the City’s financial statements.
Pending Accounting Standards
GASB has issued the following statements, whic h may impact the City’s financial reporting requirements in the future:
GASB 103, “Financial Reporting Model Improvements”, effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025. This statement improves key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing inform ation that is essential for decision making and 57 85
CITY OF TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2025
assessing a government’s accountability.
GASB 104, “Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets”, effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025. This statement requires certain types of capital assets to be disclosed separately in the capital assets note disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for capital assets held for sale.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in acco
rdance with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/ expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Disclosures Relating to Fair Value Measurement
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by U.S.
GAAP. 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 quoted prices of similar assets in active markets; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

The City’s investments measured using Level 2 inputs utilized matrix pricing model. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on securities’ relationships to benchmark quoted prices.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combinati on of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to pr ovide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recove r its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failu re of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City investment policy do not contain legal or polic y requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits:

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2025
The California Government Code requires that a fi nancial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securitie s in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market 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 al so 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, 2025, $
13,425,806 of the City deposits
with financial institutions in
excess of federal depository insurance limits were secured by pledged securities in an undivided collateral pool held in the name of Bank of America under trust with Bank of New York Trust.
For investments identified herein as held by bond tr ustee, the bond trustee, at the direction of the City Treasurer, selects the investment under the term

Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one y
ear of full time employment. Members with five
years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 to 62 with statutorily reduced benefits. PEPRA miscellaneous members become eligible for service retirement upon attainment of age 52 with at least 5 years of service. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 5 years of service. The death benefit is one of the followi ng: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Bene fit. Safety members can receive a special death benefit if the member dies while actively employed and the death is job-related. Fire members may receive the alternate death benefit in lieu of the Basic Death Benefit or the 1957 Survivor Benefit if the member dies while actively employed and has at least 20 years of total CalPERS service. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The City typically uses the Ge neral Fund and the enterprise funds to liquidate pension and other post-retirement oblig ations.

Contribution Description
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Empl oyees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public empl oyers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through the Ca lPERS annual actuarial valuation process. 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 employer is required to contribute the differenc e between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. City contri bution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member contri
bution requirements are classified as plan member
contributions. For the measureme
nt period ending June
30, 2024 (the measurement date), the
average active employee contribution rate is 7. 47 percent for Miscellaneous, 10.05 percent for Safety – Police and 9.93 percent for Safety – Fire , of annual pay, and th e employer’s contribution rate is 10.14 percent for Miscellaneous, 27.51 pe rcent for Safety – Police and 20.95 percent for Safety – Fire, of annual payroll.

amended. It is the responsibility of the empl oyer to make necessary accounting adjustments to reflect the impact due to any Employer Paid Member Contributions or situations where members are paying a portion of the employer contribution.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability The June 30, 2023 valuation was rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2024 total pension liability based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method Entry age normal in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 68
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.3%
Salary Increases Varies by entry age and service
Investment Rate of Return 6.80% net of pension plan investment and administrative expenses; includes inflation
Retirement Age Based on 2021 CalPERS’ Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions
Mortality Rate Table Based on 2021 CalPERS’ Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assume d that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates a nd that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially de termined. 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 ex pected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Subsequent Events
Since the valuation date, price inflation has been higher than the assumed rate of 2.3% per annum.
Since inflation influences cost of living adju stments for retirees and beneficiaries and active member pay increases, higher inflation is likely to put at least some upward pressure on the pension expense and the total pension liab ility in future valuations. The actual impact of higher inflation on future valuation results will depend on, among other factors, how long higher inflation persists. At this time, the long-term price inflation assumption of 2.3% per annum remains appropriate.

Long-term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pens ion plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future r eal rates of return (exp ected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 10 years using a building- block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 basis points.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:

This benefit takes the form of a single employer defined benefit pension plan. The authority to est ablish and amend the funding policy is the City Council. Currently it is the City’s policy to a
nnually fund an amount budgeted to approximate the
required annual contribution for that fiscal year.
Benefits are available to members hired on or be fore January 25, 2004 that retire from the City at an age of 55 or greater and with five or more year s of City service. Benefits are also available to members hired between January 25, 2004 and December 31, 2012 that retire from the City at an age of 55 or greater and with five or more years of City service specific to the eligible bargaining unit, as identified previously. New hires after December
31, 2012 are not eligible for this benefit.
Generally, the enhanced benefit is expressed as . 46951% times years of CalPERS eligible service times the member’s highest annual compensation wh
ile a bargaining group member. This plan is
administered for the City through a third party ad ministrator, Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). Copies of PARS’ annual financial report may be obtained from its executive office at 4350 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 100, Newport Beach, California 92660.

Contribution Description
The City’s funding policy is to make the contribution as determined by the Plan’s actuary. The Plan’s annual pension cost for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, is based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, th e City’s annual pension cost is $1,312,483. The City contributed $1,196,155 to the plan.
Measurement Date: June 30, 2024
Actuarial Valuation Date: June 30, 2023
Asset Valuation Method: Investment ga ins and losses over 5 year period, not less than 80% nor more than 120% of market value
Discount rate: 5.25%
Mortality: CalPERS’ 2021 Experience Study
General Inflation: 2.5%
Cost of Living Adjustment: 2%
Termination: CalPERS’ 2021 Experience Study
Salary Increases: Varies by entry age and service
Retirement Age: CalPERS’ 2021 Experience Study
Actuarial Methods
The actuarial cost method used for this valuation is the Entry Age Normal (EAN) method. The Present Value of Projected Benefits (PVPB) is the present value of all future benefits for current plan participants. The Actuarial Accrued Liab ility (AAL) represents the portion of the PVPB attributable to past service. The AAL is recogni zed over service through the date a participant is expected to commence benefits.
Plan funded status based on the excess of
1) Plan Assets over
2) Actuarial Accrued Liability
Actuarial valuation of assets are not less than 80% nor more than 120% of market value. This is due to investment gains/losses being spread over a 5 year rolling period.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pe nsion liability was 5.25 pe rcent. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each plan, the actuary stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans ran out of assets. Therefore, the current 5.25 percent discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the City’s contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and dependents. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on Plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

(12) Deferred Compensation Plan
During fiscal year 1973-74, the City Council adopted Resolution 74-120 establishing a deferred compensation plan (Plan) for the benefit of its elig ible employees. The City established the Plan to attract and hold well-qualified City employees by permitting them to make special provisions for monthly payments upon retirement. The Plan was qualified under the applicable provisions of the Federal Internal Revenue Code and complies with the provisions of Sections 53212 and 53214 of the California Government Code. Prior to fiscal year 1996-97, in accordance with Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code, all assets of the Plan remained the property of the City until paid or made available to participants, subject only to the claims of the City’s general creditors.
As a result of changes to Section 457 deferred compensation plans resulting from the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, the City’s deferred compensation plan administrator, Great West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWLAIC) established a custodial account on behalf of the Plan participants. Effective July 1, 1998, all amounts of compensation deferred under the Plan, all property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts are held in the custodial account for the exclusiv e benefit of the employee participants and their beneficiaries.
While the City has full power and authority to administer and to adopt rules and regulations for the Plan, all investment decisions unde r the Plan are the responsibility of the Plan participants. The City has no liability for losses under the Plan, but does have the duty of due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. U nder certain circumstances, employees may modify their arrangements with the Plan to provide for greater or lesser contributions or to terminate their participation. If participants retire under the Pl
an or terminate service with the City, they may be
eligible to receive payments under the Plan in acco rdance with provisions thereof. In the event of 92 120

(18) Deficit Fund Balance and Net Position (Accumulated Deficit) The Self-Insurance Fund, an internal service fund,
has an accumulated de
ficit of $52,257,482 at
June 30, 2025. Such deficit is attributed to replenishment of the reserve for general liability claims resulting from settlements of claims in excess of estab lished reserves. It is anticipated that the deficit will continue to be reduced over future years through increases in annual charges made through the budgeting process, as they become necessary. Excess charges will be distributed to all funds proportionately depending on their proportionate benefit of the Self-Insurance Fund. (19) Adjustments to and Restatements of Beginning Balances Change in Accounting Principle
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the City implemented the provisions of GASB Statement 101, Compensated Absences. Under this new standa rd, compensated absences liability should be estimated by multiplying the unused le ave more likely than not to be used or settled by the pay rate at the end of the fiscal period. However, if a
different pay rate applies for leaves settled at
termination, that rate should be applied. The liability should also include salary-related payments. 97 125
CITY OF TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2025
Depending on an employee’s labor group, the City
policy requires sick leaves settled at termination
to be paid at a certain percentage of the pay ra te at period end depending on years of service. The City previously estimated accrued sick leave by only accounting for leave settled at termination.
The City therefore examined its past experience with accumulated sick leave and estimated the amount of leave that is more likely than not to be used as time off in a future period. This estimate is now reported as a liability. The portion of this lia bility that existed at the beginning of the current fiscal year is recognized as a decrease in beginn ing net position resulting from implementation of a new accounting standard.
The City also restated the co mpensated liability arising from compensatory leave and Police annual leave by multiplying the unused leave by the pay rate at the end of the fiscal period and adding in salary-related payments. This resulted in a ne t increase in the beginning net position of the Postemployment/Comp Absences Fund, an internal service fund.
Error Correction
The City failed to accrue an invoice that was related to the previous fiscal period. This error overstated the fund balance of the Measure W Fund and the net position of governmental activities in the government-wide statements.

Changes within the Financial Reporting Entity
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City reclassified the activities in the Flexible Benefits Fund, previously reported as a custodial f und, to the General Fund. The Flexible Benefits Fund was used to account for employee unspent pre- tax benefits collected from the participating employees. Upon further assessment, th
e City determined that the ac
tivities of this clearing account
do not meet the criteria to be repor ted as fiduciary activities and ther efore should not be reported in a custodial fund. This change resulted in the transfer of deposits payable from the custodial fund to the General Fund.
(20) Commitments and Contingencies

(21) Fund Balance Policies
The City will maintain at the end of each fiscal year a General Fund Unassigned fund balance at a level that is equal to at least 20% of the fiscal year’s General Fund Operating Fund budget appropriation, as amended. In a year in which the City falls short, a plan shall be identified to return to meet the 20% policy.
As part of the Operating Budget Resolution of th e City, City Council delegates authority to assign amounts for specific purposes to the City Manager.
As of June 30, 2025,
the assigned fund balance

Extraordinary amounts in 2014 represent California Department of Finance adjustment to interest on a long-term advance from the General Fund to the Successor Agency Trust Fund. 149

1The City of Torrance implemented GASB 54 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Information prior to the implementation of GASB 54 is not required to be restated. 2The change in fund balance in 2013 reflects a prior period adjustment to record transfer of interest related to the long-term advance from the General Fund to the former City of Torrance Redevelopment Agency. The net liabilities are held in a successor agency trust not reported here. In 2014, the California Department of Finance required an adjustment to reduce this interest on long-term advance. 3The change in fund balance in 2012 reflects the former City of Torrance Redevelopment Agency dissolution. The State of California dissolved all redevelopment agencies effective February 1,2012.

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

Notes:
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government. 1For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentages of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of another governmental unit's taxable assessed value that is within the city's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total taxable assessed value.

Notes:
The Government Code of the State of California provides for legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). Although the statutory debt limit has not been amended by the State since this change, the percentages presented in the above computations have been proportionately modified to 3.75% (25% of 15%) for the purpose of this calculation in order to be consistent with the computational effect of the debt limit at the time of the State's establishment of the limit.
