To the Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens of the City of Visalia:
We are pleased to submit the City of Visalia’s (the City) Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year July 1, 20 24 through June 30, 20 25. The City Charter (Article VI - Section 17) requires that a licensed certified public accountant conduct an annual audit at the end of each fiscal year and issue a complete set of financial statements to be submitted to City Council. The ACFR is also intended to provide relevant financial information to the residents of Visalia, taxpayers, creditors, investors, and other interested parties. Like many financial reports, the ACFR is a “snapshot in time”. It reflects the financial condition of the organization at a specific point in time. The complex financial operations of a city are extremely dynamic and constantly undergoing change. This is not a document requiring dec ision-making or adjustment, it is a merely a reflection of a financial point in our history that provides an open and transparent review of our operations.
This letter of transmittal provides a non -technical summary of City finances, services, achievements, and economic prospects. We ask that readers who wish a more detailed discussion of the City's financial results refer to Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") contained in the Financial Section of the ACFR.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal contro l should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatement. This ACFR has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accoun ting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America as promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
The City contracted with Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation, a firm of Certified Public Accountants licensed to practice in the State of California, to perform the annual independent audit . The auditors expressed an opinion that the City's financial statements for fiscal year 20 24-2025 are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). This is the most favorable conclusion and is commonly known as an "unmodified" or "clean" opinion. The independent auditor's report is included in front of the Financial Section of this report.
The ACFR is organized into four sections:
• The Introductory Section provides this transmittal letter which includes information about the governmental structure, economic activities of the community, and notable financial activities.

Letter of Transmittal
• The Financial Section includes the financial statements, notes, and supplemental information. It has management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) which immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the Bas ic Financial Statements including notes, the Required Supplementary Information and Supplementary Information.
• The Statistical Section includes tables containing historical financial data, debt statistics, and miscellaneous social and economic data of potential interest to readers of financial documents. The data also includes ten-year revenue and expenditure data.
• The Compliance Section includes the Bond Disclosure Requirements.
CITY PROFILE
Basic Information
Visalia is located in the central San Joaquin Valley in California, approximately 185 miles north of Los Angeles and 220 miles south of San Francisco. Visalia is the county seat and principal trading center for Tulare County, which is currently one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States.
Currently, the City has a land area of approximately 40 square miles with a n estimated population of 146,978 as of April 2025, making it the 4 0
th largest city in California (Department of Finance, State of California).
The City was founded in 1852, incorporated in 1874, and became a charter city in 1923. The charter was amended in 1974 and the City operates under a Council -Manager form of government. The City Council is comprised of five members who are elected to alternating four-year terms staggered every two years.
Beginning in November 2016, the Council elections moved from at -large elections to district -based elections. The Council selects two of its members to serve as Mayor and Vice Mayor for a two-year term.
City Council is responsible for making policy, passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring the City Manager and the City Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the ordinances and polices of the City Council, overseeing operations, and appointing, with Council approval, the City’s department heads.
Types of Services
The City provides a full range of municipal services including those required by statute or charter. These services include Police, Fire, Planning, Building Safety, Successor Agencies to Redevelopment, Housing and Economic Development, Wastewater Treatment and Collection, Storm Water Collection, Ground Water Recharge, Solid Waste, Streets, Parks, Traffic Safety, Transit, Airport, Recreation, Convention Center, Senior Center, and General Administrative Services.
BUDGET
The City Council is required to adopt a budget by no later than the close of the prior fiscal year. The budget is prepared on a two -year basis and serves as the foundation for the City’s fiscal planning and financial control. The budget is organized by departments (e.g., Parks and Recreation ), by funds (e.g.,

Letter of Transmittal
Transportation), and by divisions (e.g., Planning). The City Manager may transfer appropriations within a fund, provided that the total appropriation is not increased.
The City's Capital Budget is considered as part of the City's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan. The first two years of the capital expenditure plan is adopted with the two year budget.
ECONOMIC CONDITION
Fiscal year 2024-25 had growth in Visalia’s General Fund major revenue categories of Sales Tax, Property Tax, and Transient Occupancy Tax. At June 30, 2025, the California consumer price index stood at 3.0% and employment in the state continued to show signs of slowing as the unemployment rate had climbed to 5.4%, an increase from the June 30, 202 4 rate of 5.2%. Nationally, employment remained st eady as the national unemployment rate was at 4.1%, nearly at the natural unemployment rate of 4% that the Federal Open Market Committee wants to see.
Fiscal year 2024-25 ended the year with an overall increase of $3.0 million in the total economic-sensitive revenue category for the General Fund as shown in Table 1 – Economic Sensitive Revenues. Most of this increase is from Property Tax which had a $2.7 million increase over the prior year.
Table 1 - Economic Sensitive Revenues
(as shown in the Financial Statements)
Sales Tax for the year rebounded from last year’s contraction, ending fiscal year 202 4-25 with a 2.2% increase. The addition of new businesses throughout the City and within our growing Industrial Park help contribute to the growth. The main areas of the increase in Sales Tax for Visalia were General Retail (department stores, apparel stores, furniture/appliance stores) which grew 2.30%, Food Produ cts (restaurants, food markets, liquor stores) which grew 3.75%, and Transportation (new and used auto sales, service stations) which had a slight increase of .5%. Property Tax continued its trend increasing
7.9% as growth in property values remained strong; new development occurred; and the housing market continued to offer premium price levels. Travel stays to the area continued to grow for the year as we saw an increase of 4.4% in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue. Contributing to this growth was the implementation of new TOT online payment software as well as increased collection efforts in the short- term rental sector. Franchise Fee revenue saw a significant decrease of 19.5% when compared to the prior fiscal year mainly due to natural gas franchise fee payments. According to the Southern California Gas Company, the decrease was the result of a decrease in usage and price procurement when compared Description FY 23/24 F Y 24/25

to the unprecedented levels seen in 2023. Decreases were seen across most jurisdictions. Business License revenue de creased 3.8% when compared to last year as the implementation of a new online business license billing and receipt system resulted in adjustments that occurred due to the transition of systems.
Visalia has 13,990 licensed businesses operating in the City, a net increase of 517 as compared to last year.
These businesses include private manufacturing, technology research, retail and service businesses, educational services, healthcare and social assistance, consulting, arts and entertainment, hospitality services, along with non-profit institutions.
Construction activity in the City increased 5.4% (based on the number of all permits issued) in fiscal year 2024-25. The total valuation for all permits issued was $410 million, a 15% decrease from the prior year as the City added .7 million square feet of new commercial property and 1.6 million square feet of space overall. Issued single-family dwelling permits for fiscal year 2024-25 had a decrease of 7% when compared to the prior year as shown in Table 2 – New Single-Family Dwelling Permits Comparison. The construction value for 434 new single-family dwelling permits came in at $ 150 million, which was down 4% from the prior year valuation level.

Letter of Transmittal
Overall, construction activity drives the revenue collection in several categories and is an indicator of future activity for several other categories, such as property taxes, impact fees, and storm and sanitary sewer system fees.

Caldwell Improvements – Santa Fe to Lovers Lane
• The $ 22.9 million project is widening Caldwell Avenue between Santa Fe and Lovers Lane converting it from an undivided two-lane road to a four-lane divided road with a median.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
The General Fund is the City’s single largest fund which funds the majority of the City’s essential services.
Fiscal year 2024-25 had growth in the main General Fund revenue categories of Sales Tax, Property Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax. Contributing to the growth in revenues was the continued inflation that the country has been experiencing over the last few years. At June 30, 2025, the inflation rate in California was at 3.0% and nationally at 2.67%. With careful management, the City was able to continue to provide service enhancements , infrastructure improvements, and incre ases in employee compensation. As shown in Table 3 – General Fund Statement of Revenues & Expenditures , the General Fund ended the year with nearly no change in fund balance and therefore no surplus. This was mainly due to the
City of Visalia – Annual Comprehensive Financial Report For Year Ended June 30, 2025
viii
Letter of Transmittal
implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 101 (GASB 101), which is a required accounting change that updates and standardizes the recognition and measurement guidelines for compensated absences (employee earned vacation and sick time). The implementation of GASB 101 resulted in a transfer out (other financing use) of $3.88 million to the Compensated Absences Fund for the additional sick time in the General Fund that was required to be recognized as an additional liability.
Without this required accounting change, the General Fund would have had a surplus of $3.78 million.
Table 3 – General Fund Statement of Revenues & Expenditures (in millions)
Although there was no surplus this year due to the implementation of GASB 101, there was growth in a few of the main General Fund revenue categories as discussed earlier. In addition, the General Fund saw growth in charges for services which was up $2.6 million as engineering and subdivision fees were up $2 million and charges for fire strike team services were up $0.5 million. Furthermore , uses of money and property (interest income) was up $0.3 million as the average earnings interest rate was 3.82% for the year as compared to 3.37% for the prior year. However, expenditures in the General Fund grew $ 17.6 million over the previous fiscal year. Increases of $9.4 million occurred in salaries and benefits as contracted wage increases occurred, longevity pay was implemented, pension costs grew, health benefit costs increased, and vacancies were filled. Capital expenditures vary from year to year but grew $5.6 million this fiscal year as projects progressed. Finally, operating expenditures had increases of $2.6 million as costs continue to rise. As we can see, the balance between revenues and expenditures in the General Fund can be volatile from year to year. The City will continue to monitor rising operating costs (i.e., pension costs , health insurance, technology ), and the economy for a possible downturn (recession) .

Domestic Product (GDP) growth with inflation cooling as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) continues to make cuts to the federal funds rate. However, outlook predictions can easily be affected by trade tensions, uncertainty with tariffs, and federal policies. These issues affect us locally as they have ramifications in both industrial and consumer consumption which may affect Sales Tax revenue for the City. The City must continue to seek new opportunities to increase tax base revenues to help maintain fiscal sustainability.
In June 2024, the City Council adopted a balanced biennial budget for fiscal years 20 24-25 and 2025-26.
The biennial budget focused on the following goals:
• Quality of Life;
• Fiscal Strength;
• Invest in Infrastructure and Growth;
• Organizational Excellence; and
• Economic Vitality.
Both fiscal years budgets projected a surplus for the General Fund. At the April 15, 2024 Council Meeting, Council directed staff to increase the Emergency Reserve to a balance of 30% of General Fund operating expenditures. Any surplus remaining after transferring funds to the Emergency Reserve would be transferred to the Civic Center Fund. Table 4 - General Fund Emergency Reserves shows the usage of the reserves during the great recession and the efforts to replenish and maintain the reserves.

Letter of Transmittal
Table 4 – General Fund Emergency Reserves
Due to the implementation of GASB 101, the City was not able to meet City Council’s goal of funding the Emergency Reserve Fund with a balance of 30% of General Fund operating expenditures . However, the Emergency Reserve is currently funded with a balance of 27.5% of General Fund operating expenditures for fiscal year 2024-25. Without the implementation of GASB 101, a transfer of $2.2 million would have been able to be made to the Emergency Reserve to fully fund the reserve thus meeting City Councils goal.
BOND RATING
The City’s current general obligation credit ratings are A+ from Standard & Poor's (“S&P”). The ratings continue to reflect the diversity of the local economy anchored by a strong business presence, sound financial management and prudent budgetary practices.

To qualify for the Certificate of Achievement, the governmental entity must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR, the contents of which conform to program standards.

CITY OF VISALIA
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2025
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 Government -wide statements present a combined picture of the City of Visalia (the City) on a full accrual basis of accounting, where all debt and assets are included in the presentation. Conversely, the Fund level statements present a picture that is based on a modified accrual basis of accounting, where long-term assets and debt are excluded. Thus, Government -wide and Fund level presentations produce different results based on the type of accounting basis used. Please read this document in conjunction with the accompanying Transmittal Letter and the Basic Financial Statements.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s Basic Financial Statements which have three components:
1. Government–wide financial statements
2. Fund financial statements
3. Notes to the financial statements
This Annual Comprehensive Financial Report also contains Supplemental Information which includes combining statements for Non -major Governmental, Non -major Proprietary, Internal Service and Fiduciary Funds, Bond Disclosure Requirements, as well as a Statistical Section.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The Government-wide Financial Statements are designed to provide a broad overview of all of the City’s finances taken as a whole, using a long-term view, in a manner similar to private-sector businesses.
The Statement of Net Position presents financial information on all the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources , with the difference between the four reported as net position. The full accrual basis of accounting is used; thus, the flow of all economic resources are measured.
The Statement of Activities presents financial information reporting how the City’s net position changed during the fiscal year by listing the revenues and expenses of each of the City’s major activities. The full accrual basis of accounting is also used, thereby all changes to net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in a future fiscal period.
All of the City’s activities are grouped into either Governmental Activities (those functions that are principally supported by taxes or by specific governmental program revenues such as developer fees) or into Business -type Activities (whose services are supported by charges paid by direct users of the service such as Solid Waste collection). All of the amounts in both the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are segregated into Governmental Activities and Business -type Activities to provide a summary of these City activities. The City’s Governmental Activities include general government, parks and recreation , police, fire, public works, housing & community grants and community development. The City’s Business-type Activities include the convention center, airport, water reclamation facility, storm sewer maintenance, solid waste, transit, building safety, and animal control.
The City’s Government -wide Financial Statements include not only the City itself (referred to as the primary government) but also the Visalia Public Finance Authority, which is financially accountable to the City and is blended into these financial statements.

Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements are designed to report information about related accounts that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements. All of the City’s funds are divided into three categories:
governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
The Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds ca lled Major Funds which include the General Fund, Measure N Fund, American Rescue Plan Fund, Transportation Fund, and Civic Center Fund (detail on pages 34-41). Major funds account for the major financial activities of the City and are presented individually, while the activities of the Non- major funds are presented in summary as Other Governmental Funds. Non-major funds include Special Revenue Funds such as Measure T, Measure R and Transportation Grants; D ebt Service Funds such as VPFA 2014 Refunding COP and 2015 COP; and C apital Projects Funds such as Government Facilities Impact Fee, and Facility Improvements Fund (detail on pages 12 6-160).
Subordinate schedules of the Non-major funds present detailed financial information for the City’s smaller funds.
Governmental Funds: Governmental funds are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, which means they measure only current financial resources and uses. This basis focuses on (1) how cash and other financial assets can be readily converted to available resources and (2) the balances left at year -end that are available for spending. Such information may be useful in determining what financial resources are available in the near future to finance the City’s programs. Capital assets and other long -lived assets along with long- term liabilities are not presented in the Governmental Fund Financial Statements.
Because the focus of the governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with the similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long -term impact of the government's near -term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City follows Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54. In the Fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned. Each of these components of fund balance is classified based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on how specific amounts can be spent.
1. Nonspendable Fund Balance – amounts that are inherently nonspendable such as long-term receivables.
2. Restricted Fund Balance – amounts that have externally enforceable limitations on use that are either imposed by law or constrained by grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments.
3. Committed Fund Balance – amounts that can only be used for specific purposes determined by resolution of the City’s highest level of decision -making authority, the City Council. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through a resolution. The resolution must occur prior to the end of the reporting period; however, the amount can be determined subsequently.
4. Assigned Fund Balance - amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed, should be reported as assigned fund balance. The intent can be expressed by the City Council itself or by an official to which the governing body has delegated the authority.
City of Visalia –Annual Comprehensive Financial Report For Year Ended June 30, 2025
6 Management Discussion and Analysis
5. Unassigned Fund Balance - the residual positive net resources of the General Fund in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories. This amount is reported only in the General Fund except in cases of negative fund balance . N egative fund balances in other governmental funds are reported as Unassigned Fund Balance.
The City Council establishes, modifies, or rescinds fund balance commitments by passage of an ordinance or resolution. This is done through the adoption of the budget and subsequent budget amendments that occur throughout the year. Assignments may be established and modified by the City Council, City Manager, or Finance Director.
The accounting policies of the City consider restricted fund balance to have been spent first when expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Similarly, when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted classifications of fund balance could be used, the City considers committed amounts to be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts and then unassigned amounts.
This Fund Balance policy was established by the City Council on June 20, 2011.
Proprietary Funds : Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the City charges customers – either citizens (e.g., Enterprise funds) or departments of the City (e.g., Internal Service funds).
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as shown in the government -wide financial statements only in more detail. Proprietary funds are prepared on the full accrual basis of accounting and include all of their assets and liabilities, current and long-term.
• Enterprise Funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for the Wa ter Reclamation Facility , Storm Sewer Maintenance, Solid Waste, and Transit which are considered to be major funds of the City and Convention Center, Airport, Building Safety, and Animal Control which are considered to be non-major funds of the City.
• Internal Service Funds are used to report activities that provide certain supplies and services only to City programs and activities. The internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated total presented in the f und level proprietary fund financial statements. Subordinate Internal Service fund schedules that provide individual fund financial data in the form of combining statements are also contained in this report. Internal service's revenues are eliminated in the City -wide financial statements and any related profits or losses are returned to the activities which created them. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type functions, the residual net position of these funds has been included within governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. The City uses internal service funds to account for Fleet Services, Vehicle Replacement, Information Services, Risk Management, Health Benefits, Compensated Absences and Building Maintenance.
Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City.
The City’s fiduciary activities are reported in the Statement of Fiduciary Net Position included in the Basic Financial Statements. For the City of Visalia, s even fiduciary funds are maintained: the Property and Business Improvement District #5 (for Downtown Visalians & Alliance), the Village West Improvement District, the Orchard Walk Underground Utilities District, the Atwood Water Main Assessment District, the Laura Water Main Assessment District, Visalia Tourism & Marketing District, and the Visalia Redevelopment Successor Agency.

City of Visalia –Annual Comprehensive Financial Report For Year Ended June 30, 2025
25 Management Discussion and Analysis
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
Overall, the City is in good financial shape. However, like all Government Agencies throughout California, the City is faced with increases in pension costs, health care, minimum wage, annual operating costs, aging infrastructure, and a potential economic downturn.
Visalia, like many businesses across the nation, is struggling to retain current employees and fill vacant positions. Employees are the City’s most important resource as they serve Visalia residents by providing high quality programs and services. In order to retain employees, the City must compensate them appropriately and competitively for the work they perform, attempting to keep pace with the labor market. The budget for fiscal Year 2025-26 includes a wage increase of up to 4% and the addition of 2 full time employees in Measure N.
Visalia is dealing with inflation and continued supply shortages which is increasing costs significantly. In addition to inflation, operating costs are increasing as more technology is implemented throughout the departments. Technology is used for communication, operations, data collection, and administration of processes. Technology allows departments to become more efficient and responsive in many ways but comes with annual on-going costs.
While revenues continue to have small growth, we must recognize that other foreign and domestic factors (i.e. inflation, housing prices, supply chain disruptions, etc.) could negatively impact the growth and expansion of our local economy. Any of these factors could also contribute to an economic downturn. The City is optimistic but must also be fiscally responsible by having sufficient reserves, balanced budgets, and prudent spending policies.
Economists are speculating that the national economic outlook for 2026 is one with slowing Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth with inflation cooling as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) continues to make cuts to the federal funds rate , which will reduce interest earnings as the average interest rate earned decreases.
However, outlook predictions can easily be affected by trade tensions, uncertainty with tariffs, and federal policies.
These issues affect us locally as they have ramifications in both industrial and consumer consumption which may affect Sales Tax revenue for the City.
We are projecting that revenues will still increase but not at the rates we have seen in past fiscal years. We are not projecting a recession at this time, however, this could change before the next budget is adopted. Expenditures have been increasing over the last couple of years at a higher rate due to inflation, shortages, legislation, and wage increases.

BASIC FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
28 City of Visalia – Annual Comprehensive Financial Report For Year Ended June 30, 2025
29 Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34. Their purpose is to summarize the entire City’s financial activities and financial position. They are prepared on the same basis of accounting as is used by most businesses, which means they include all the City’s assets and all its liabilities, deferred inflows and outflows of resources, as well as all its revenues and expenses. This is known as the full accrual basis of accounting − the effect of all the City’s transactions is taken into account, regardless of whether or when cash changes hands, but all material internal transactions between City funds have been eliminated.
The Statement of Net Position reports the difference between the City’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources and the City’s total liabilities, including all the City’s capital assets and all its long-term debt. The Statement of Net Position presents information similar to the old balance sheet format, but presents it in a way that focuses the reader on the composition of the City’s net position, by subtracting total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources from total assets and deferred outflows of resources.
The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of all of the City’s Governmental Activities in a single column, and the financial position of all the City’s Business -type Activities in a single column; these columns are followed by a total column that presents the financial position of the entire City.
The City’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. Since the City’s Internal Service Funds service these Funds, their activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after eliminating interfund transactions and balances. The City’s Business-type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the City’s net position. It is also prepared on the full accrual basis of accounting, which means it includes all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, regardless of when cash changes hands. This differs from the modified accrual basis of accounting used in the Fund financial statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues and measurable expenditures.
The Statement of Activities p resents the City’s expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with the expenses of its business -type activities. Program revenues − revenues which are generated directly by these programs − are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each governmental and business-type program. The City’s general revenues are then listed in the Governmental Activities or Business -type Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
Both these statements include the financial activities of the City and the Visalia Public Finance Authority, which is legally separate but is a component unit of the City because it is controlled by the City, which is financially accountable for the activities of this entity.
These financial statements, along with the fund financial statements and footnotes, are called Basic Financial Statements.

57 Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Visalia, California (“the City”) was founded in 1852 and incorporated in 1874. It became a charter city in 1923. The City operates under the Council -Manager form of government and provides the following services:
public safety (police and fire), highways and streets, wastewater, solid waste, transit, street sweeping, airport facilities, culture -recreation, public improvements, planning and zoning, general administration services, and redevelopment.
The financial statements and accounting policies of the City conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) applicable to governments. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard- setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. Significant accounting policies are summarized below.
A. Reporting Entity
As required by U.S. GAAP , these financial statements present the City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance, part of the City’s operations and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. Each component unit has a June 30 year -end. The blended component unit included in the City’s financial statements is identified below with a brief explanation of the reason for its inclusion.
The Visalia Public Finance Authority (VPFA) was established pursuant to a joint exercise of powers dated February 1991, by and between the City and the Visalia Community Redevelopment Agency. The VPFA has the power to issue bonds to pay the cost of any public capital improvements. The VPFA is controlled by the City and has the same governing body as the City, which also performs accounting and administrative functions for the VPFA. The financial activities of the VPFA are included in the 2014 Refunding Certificates of Participation Debt Service Fund and the Convention Center Enterprise Fund.
Financial statements or financial information for the above component unit may be obtained from the City of Visalia at 707 West Acequia, Visalia, California 93291.
The financial statements exclude the following:
On June 2, 2003, the Visalia Civic Facilities Authority (VCFA) joint powers agreement was established by the City and the Visalia Unified School District (VUSD). The VCFA has the authority to issue bonds, incur indebtedness, and enter into agreements to acquire real property. The VCFA is administered by the Board of Directors, which consists of four members, two from the City Council and two from the VUSD. The VCFA is not a component unit of the City.
The Downtown Improvement District (District) was incorporated under the Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law of the State of California for the purpose of making improvements in the City’s downtown area. The City collects the District assessment revenue on behalf of the D istrict. The District has the sole discretion on how revenues are to be spent. A twenty -one-member Board, comprised of mainly downtown land and business owners, governs the D istrict. A Council member is a sitting member of the Board. The District is accounted for in the Property and Business Improvement District Agency Funds . The District is not a component unit of the City.
The Village West Assessment District (VWAD) was established to collect the district’s assessments on real property in the district to repay bonds for the repair of a private street. The VWAD is not a component unit of the City.

NOTE 1 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
A. Reporting Entity (Continued)
The Orchard Walk Underground Utilities District (OWUUD) was established to collect assessments on real property in the district to repay bonds for underground utilities. The OWUUD is not a component unit of the City.
The Atwood Water Main Assessment District ( AWMAD) was established to collect assessments on real property in the district to repay bonds for Cal Water main extensions. The AWMAD is not a component unit of the City.

The sole purpose of this fund is to retire debt of the former RDA. The Successor Agency is subject to the financial accountability of the Successor Agency Board that is comprised of the City Council of the City of Visalia and accordingly, is a component unit of the City although it is a separate legal entity .
B. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented on the basis set forth in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis − for State and Local Governments ; No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions ; No. 36, Recipient Reporting for Certain Non- exchange Revenues, an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 33; No. 37, Basic Financial Statements − and Management’s Discussion and Analysis − for State and Local Governments; Omnibus; and No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures.
Government-wide Statements: The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the primary government (the City and its component unit). These statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary activities. Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB statement No. 34 to minimize the double counting of internal activities in regard to inter-fund activities, payables and receivables. All internal balances in the Statement of Net Position have been eliminated except those representing balances between the governmental activities and the business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the total primary government column. In the Statement of Activities, internal fund transactions have been eliminated; however, those transactions between governmental and business -type activities have not been eliminated.
The following inter-fund activities have been eliminated:
• Due to/from other funds
• Advances to/from other funds
• Transfers in/out
These statements distinguish between the governmental and business -type activities of the City.
Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non- exchange transactions. Business -type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
City of Visalia –Annual Comprehensive Financial Report For Year Ended June 30, 2025
59 Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
B. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business -type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental activities.
Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients for goods or services offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational needs of a particular program and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s funds, including fiduciary funds and the blended component unit. Separate statements for each fund category − governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary − are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as non-major funds.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise funds, and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation of capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
C. Major Funds
GASB Statement No. 34 defines major funds and requires that the City’s major governmental and business -type funds be identified and presented separately in the fund financial statements. All other funds, called non- major funds, are combined, and reported in a single column, regardless of their fund type.
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their fund type total and five percent of the grand total. The General Fund is always a major fund.
The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements .
General Fund is used to account for all the general revenues of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds and their related expenditures. The General Fund accounts for all financial resources of a governmental unit which are not accounted for in another fund. The General Fund includes the Capital Project Funds and Emergency Reserve Fund.
Measure N - Special Revenue Fund Measure N is used to account for increased public safety services including police and fire, repair and maintenance for streets and roads, and maintenance of parks and trails.

D. Basis of Accounting
The government -wide and proprietary financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. The Custodial funds use the economic resources measurement focus and are also reported using the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The

NOTE 1 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
D. Basis of Accounting (Continued)
City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year -end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Governmental capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of governmental long -term debt and acquisitions under leases are reported as other financing sources.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are federal and state grants and subventions, property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, transient occupancy taxes, certain charges for services and interest revenue. Fines, licenses, permits, and charges for services are not susceptible to accrual because they are not measurable until received in cash.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include taxes, grants, entitlements, and contributions. On the accrual basis of accounting, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or assessed. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
The City may fund programs with a combination of cost -reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be available to finance program expenditures. The City’s policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary. Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions, activities, and interest.
E. Property Tax
Tulare County (the County) assesses properties, and it bills, collects, and distributes property taxes to the City.
The County remits the taxes periodically throughout the year, as they are paid, with the largest amounts in December and April of each year. Secured and unsecured property taxes are levied on January 1 of the preceding fiscal year.
Secured property tax is due in two installments, on November 1 and February 1, and becomes a lien on those dates. It becomes delinquent on December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured property tax is due on August 3 1 and becomes delinquent if not paid by that date . Collection of delinquent accounts is the responsibility of the County. Delinquent property taxes are remitted by the County, to the City, periodically throughout the year as they are paid.
The term “unsecured” refers to taxes on personal property other than real estate, land and buildings. These taxes are secured by liens on the property being taxed. Property tax revenues are recognized by the City in the fiscal year they are assessed provided they become available as defined above.
F. Receivables
Billed but unpaid services provided to individuals or non- governmental entities are recorded as “receivables.” Services provided to other governmental entities are recorded as “due from other government al units.” Grant revenues and receivables are recorded when earned on grants that have been approved and funded by the grantor.

G. Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue is recognized for transactions for which revenue has not yet been earned. Typical transactions recorded as unearned revenues are prepaid charges for services and grants received but not yet earned.
H. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences comprise unused vacation leave, certain compensated time off, and sick leave that is estimated to be more than likely used in the future , all for which are accrued as earned. In addition, a n employee with 10 years or more of continuous service will be compensated for remaining earned sick leave at 30% of its value on their retirement date. Also included is a n employee with 20 years or more of continuous service with the City , who will be compensated for unused sick leave at 30% of its value on their resignation date. The City’s liability for compensated absences is recorded in Proprietary Funds and Internal Service Funds as appropriate. The liability for compensated absences is determined annually. Compensated absences are liquidated by the fund that has recorded the liability. The governmental activities compensated absences are liquidated by the Compensated Absences Internal Service Fund.
I. Land Held for Redevelopment
Land held for redevelopment is stated at the lower of historical cost or net realizable value, if estimable.
J. Capital Assets
Capital assets , in general, are those purchased or acquired with an original cost of $5,000 or more .
Infrastructure, Land, and technology equipment are included regardless of cost . All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a service concession arrangement are reported at acquisition value.
With the implementation of GASB Statement No. 34 during the 2002 -03 fiscal year, the City has recorded all its public domain (infrastructure) capital assets, which include roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems. GASB Statement No. 34 requires that all capital assets with limited useful lives be depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of capital assets equitably among all users over the life of these assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year represents that year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets. Depreciation is calculated using the straight -line method, which means the cost of the asset is divided by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is fully depreciated. The City has assigned the standard useful lives listed below to capital assets. Several asset categories have ranges for the useful lives to cover a wide range of assets that are listed in each asset class. The useful life will be consistent for each individual type of asset.
Buildings, storage buildings, and restrooms 10 - 50 years Improvements other than buildings 20 - 40 years
Infrastructure 40 – 100 years
Machinery, equipment, and vehicles 2 - 25 years
The City of Visalia Capital Asset Capitalization Policy, which contains more details concerning the standard useful lives of individual asset types within the categories listed above, may be obtained from the City of Visalia at 707 West Acequia, Visalia, California 93291.

J. Capital Assets (Continued)
Major outlays for capital assets and improvement are capitalized as projects are constructed .
Some capital assets may be acquired using federal and state grant funds, or they may be contributed by developers or other governments. GASB Statement No. 34 requires that these contributions be accounted for as revenues at the time the capital assets are contributed.
K. Prepaid Items and Supplies
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items and supplies in both the government-wide and fund financial statements by using the purchase method.
A nonspendable fund balance has been reported in the governmental funds to show that inventories and prepaid items do not constitute “available spendable resources,” even though they are a component of current assets.
L. Fund Balance
In the Fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned. Each of these components of fund balance is classified based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on how specific amounts can be spent.
1. Nonspendable Fund Balance – amounts that are inherently nonspendable such as prepaids, long term receivables, advances, and supplies.
2. Restricted Fund Balance – amounts that have externally enforceable limitations on use that are either imposed by law or constrained by grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments.
3. Committed Fund Balance – amounts that can only be used for specific purposes determined by resolution of the City’s highest level of decision -making authority, the City Council. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through a resolution. The resolution must occur prior to the end of the reporting period; however, the amount can be determined subsequently.
4. Assigned Fund Balance - amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed, should be reported as assigned fund balance.
The intent can be expressed by the City Council itself or by an official to which the governing body has delegated the authority.
5. Unassigned Fund Balance - the residual positive net resources of the General Fund in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories. This amount is reported only in the General Fund except in cases of negative fund balance. Negative fund balances in other governmental funds are reported as Unassigned Fund Balance.
The City Council establishes, modifies, or rescinds fund balance commitments and assignments by passage of an ordinance or resolution. Assignments may be established and modified by the City Council, City Manager, or Finance Director.

NOTE 1 − SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
L. Fund Balance (Continued)
The accounting policies of the City consider restricted fund balance to have been spent first when expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Similarly, when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted classifications of fund balance could be used, the City considers committed amounts to be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts and then unassigned amounts. This Fund Balance policy was established by the City Council June 20, 2011.
M. Net Position
In governmental-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, net positions are categorized as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets - This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization, reduced by the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets and retention payable.
Restricted - This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets.
Unrestricted - This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position.
When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position are available, the City's policy is to apply restricted net position first, then unrestricted net position as they are needed.
N. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities .
Level 2 inputs are inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

O. Encumbrances
The City uses an encumbrance system as an extension of normal budgetary accounting for all funds. Under this system purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of applicable appropriations. Encumbrances outstanding at year -end are recorded as restricted, committed, or assigned fund balance, depending on the classification of the resources to be used to liquidate the encumbrance, since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Outstanding encumbrances at year -end are automatically re -appropriated for the following year. Unencumbered and unexpended appropriation lapse at year end except for capital which is rolled to the next fiscal year until project completion . The City has existing resources as of June 30, 2025 to liquidate the encumbrances.
Encumbrances outstanding as of June 30, 2025 are listed below:
P. Leases
Lessee
The City recognizes lease liabilities and the right -to-use lease assets in the government -wide financial statements. The City currently has a lease obligation for land with land improvements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of the lease payments made.
Lease assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities. Lease assets are amortized using the straight -line method over the lease term a s there are currently no purchase options associated with any of the leases.
In calculating the lease liability and lease asset, the City uses key estimates and judgements for (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments.

• The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease as well as any options to extend the lease if the City feels that it will be exercised. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments.
• The City monitors situations that require a remeasurement of a lease and will remeasure a lease asset and liability if the situation is expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
• Lease assets are reported as right to use along with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term obligations on the statement of net position.
Lessor
The City is a lessor for leases of buildings, office and commercial space, and land. The City recognizes leases receivable and deferred inflows of resources in the financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received.
The deferred inflows of resources are initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable. The deferred inflows of resources are recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term in a systematic and rational method.
In calculating the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources, the City uses key estimates and judgements for (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts.
• The City uses the incremental borrowing rate provided by the State of California as the discount rate.

Q. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA)
The City implemented GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA) in fiscal year 2022- 23 which affects the government -wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements. The City recognizes subscription liabilities with a subscription term greater than one year.
At the commencement of a SBITA, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of subscription payments made.
Subscription assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the subscription liabilities, any payments made to the SBITA vendor before the commencement of the subscription term, and capitalizable initial implementation cost, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term.
Costs associated with a SBITA, other than the subscription payments are accounted for as follows:
• Preliminary Project Stage: Outlays are expensed as incurred. • Initial Implementation Stage: Outlays are capitalized as an addition to the subscription asset. • Operation and Additional Implementation Stage: Outlays are expensed as incurred unless they meet specific capitalization criteria.
Subscription assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the subscription term.
In calculating the subscription asset and liability, the City uses k ey estimates and judgments related to SBITA for (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments.
• The City uses the incremental borrowing rate provided by the State of California as the discount rate.
For this fiscal year the rates were as follows: 3.16% for a subscription term of 0-60 months; 2.92% for a subscription term of 61-120 months; and 3.70% for a subscription term of 121 months or more.

NOTE 2 − BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
A. Budgetary Information
Biennial budgets are legally required to be adopted by the City Council for all funds to provide for operations, debt service, and capital expenditures of the City. Special Revenue Fund revenues are budgeted by entitlements, subventions, and grants; expenditures and transfers are budgeted based upon available fund resources, which include amounts for encumbrances from prior periods. The City adopts an operating budget for the General Fund; all Special Revenue Funds; all Debt Service Funds and all Capital Projects Funds.
Budgetary controls are set by the City Council within State guidelines. The budgetary basis of accounting is consistent with U.S. GAAP applicable to the City’s financial statements.
The City Council adopts an operating budget at the beginning of the City’s fiscal year. The resolution approving the budget authorizes the City Manager to transfer appropriations within fund budgets including salary, capital accounts, and staffing levels provided that total appropriations are not increased. The legally adopted budget requires expenditures not to exceed total appropriations in each fund. Therefore, budget control is at the fund level and resides with the Department Head responsible for that fund. The City Council is required to intervene to increase or decrease the adopted budget. Also, City Council approval is required to spend reserves from any fund.
The City adopts a two -year budget. The operating and capital expenditures have two mid- year reviews each March and one mid-cycle review in June. The City Council is authorized to make appropriation adjustments to the budget during the year as deemed necessary.

NOTE 3 − CASH AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
C. 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 of Visalia manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer -term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. The City of Visalia monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolio by measuring the weighted average maturity of its portfolio. The City of Visalia has no specific limitations with respect to this metric.
D. Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations
As of June 30, 2025 , and during the 20 24-25 fiscal year, the City of Visalia did not hold or purchase investments that were highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations (to a greater degree than already indicated in the information provided above), such as interest only treasury strips or mortgage -backed securities.
E. Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City of Visalia’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year - end for each investment type. The column marked “ not rated ” identifies those investment types for which GASB Statement No. 40 does not require disclosure as to credit risk:

F. Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. Investments in any one issuer (other than external investment pools and debt explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government) that represents 5% or more of the total City of Visalia investments are as follows:
G. Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker -dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the City investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
GASB Statement No. 40 requires that the following disclosure be made with respect to custodial credit risks relating to deposits and investments: none of the City of Visalia’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits were held in uncollateralized accounts. As of June 30, 2025 , none of the City of Visalia investments were held by the broker -dealer (counterparty) that was used by the City of Visalia to buy the securities.
H. Investment in State Investment Pool
The City of Visalia is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City of Visalia’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City of Visalia’s pro -rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

NOTE 3 − CASH AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
H. Investment in State Investment Pool (Continued)
The State Treasurer’s Office reports its investments at fair value. The fair value of securities in the State Treasurer’s pooled investment program, including LAIF, generally is based on quoted market prices. The State Treasurer’s Office performs a quarterly fair market valuation of the pooled investment program portfolio. In addition, the State Treasurer’s Office performs a monthly fair market valuation of all securities held against carrying cost. At June 30, 2025 , these investments matured in an average of 248 days. These valuations and financial statements are posted to the State Treasurer’s Office website at www.treasurer.ca.gov
I. Investment in California Asset Management Program
The City of Visalia is a voluntary participant in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP), which is a permitted investment under California Government Code 53601(p). CAMP is directed by a Board of Trustees, which is made up of experienced local government finance directors and treasurers.
J. Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in an active market for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The following is a summary of the fair value hierarchy of the fair value of investments of the City as of June 30, 2025:
U.S. Treasuries totaling $129.8 million, classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, are valued at quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Federal agency securities totaling $170.9 million, corporate medium-term notes totaling $ 91.2 million, municipal bonds totaling $1 83.3 million, and money market funds held by the bond Trustee totaling $.5 million, classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, are valued using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is the process of estimating the fair value price of a bond based on the quoted prices of more frequently traded comparable bonds. The Local Agency Investment Fund, California Asset Management Program, and Local Agency Bonds are reported at amortized cost.

The refunding resulted in a bond premium of $971,504 for the business -type activities, of which none remains to be amortized.
The City also chose to unencumber the Convention Center, which was the lease asset for the Prior Certificates, and encumber a new asset, which is the City’s Riverway Sports Park, with the 2014 Certificates. The lowering of the annual payments and unencumbering of the Convention Center were done to help with a larger future financing issued by the City in September of 2015.

The C ity has covenanted to budget and appropriate Lease Payments in each fiscal year in consideration of the use and occupancy of the Property from any source of legally available funds, and to take such action as may be necessary to include all Lease Payments in its annual budgets and to make the necessary annual appropriations thereof. Should the City default under the facilities sublease, the trustee, as the assignee of the Authority, may elect either to terminate the Lease and seek to collect damages from the City or to maintain the Lease in effect and seek to collect the Lease Payments as they become due. Base Rental payments may not be accelerated upon a default under the facilities sublease. A default refers to any one or more of the following events: payment default (lease payment or reserve replenishment); covenant default; and bankruptcy or insolvency. No such events of default occurred during the fiscal year ending June 30, 20 25.
On September 10, 2015 the City issued $17,910,000 of 2015 Certificates of Participation to (a) construct and equip the Visalia Emergency Communications Center (the VECC), (b) to replace the City’s Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System (the CAD/RMS), (c) to make certain improvements to the Visalia Convention Center, (d) to purchase a municipal bond debt service reserve insurance policy for deposit into a debt service reserve fund established for the Certificates, and (e) to pay the costs related to the execution and delivery of the Certificates. Of this issue, 27% is allocable to the Convention Center, 10% is allocable to the Measure T Fund, 26% is allocable to Police Impact Fees, and 37% is considered general long- term debt. The term of the certificates is 14 years with an all in total interest cost of 3.14%.

NOTE 10 − EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)
A. General Information about the Pension Plans (Continued)
Employees Covered – For valuation date, as of June 30, 2023 , the following employees were covered by the benefit terms for each Plan:
Contributions – Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
B. Net Pension Liability
The City ’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 20 24, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 20 23 rolled forward to June 30, 20 24 using standard update procedures.
A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Miscellaneous Safety
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 508 267 Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 394 136 Active employees 397 221
Total 1,299 624

NOTE 10 − EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)
B. Net Pension Liability (Continued)
The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 20 23 valuation were based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return – The long -term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building -block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long -term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long -term market return expectations . Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building -block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 Basis points. The expected real rates of return by asset class are shown on the next page.
Change of Assumptions – There were no assumption changes with the June 30, 2023 valuation date (2024 measurement date) . T he accounting discount rate re mained at 6.90%. In determining the expected long -term rate of return, CalPERS took into account long -term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions.

Mortality rates incorporate full generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the 2021 experience study and report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.

B. Net Pension Liability (Continued)
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6. 90% for each Plan. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long -term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

NOTE 10 − EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)
E. Liquidating Net Pension Liability
The net pension liability, and related components for the m iscellaneous plan are allocated to the governmental activities and business -type activities based on the distribution of current year contributions to the plan. At June 30, 2025, it is distributed 5 6% to governmental activities and 44 % to business -type activities. The net pension liability, and related components for the safety plan are distributed 100% to the governmental activities. Historically, the General Fund has been used to liquidate the net pension liability for the City.
F. Payable to the Pension Plan
At June 30, 2025 , the City did not report a payable for the outstanding amount of contributions to the pension plan required for the year ended June 30, 2025 as there were none outstanding.
G. Deferred Compensation Plan
City employees may defer a portion of their compensation under a City sponsored Deferred Compensation Plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. P articipants in the Deferred Compensation Plan can make contributions on a pre -tax or post -tax (Roth) basis. Pre -tax contributions are not taxed on the deferred portion of their compensation until it is distributed to them. Roth contributions are made to the plan after payroll taxes are removed from the employee’s paycheck and are not taxed at the time of distribution. Distributions may be made only at termination, retirement, death, or in an emergency as defined by the plan.
The laws governing deferred compensation plan assets require plan assets to be held by a Trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. Since the assets held under these plans are not the City’s property and are not subject to City control, they have been excluded from these financial statements.
The City has a contract with Mission Square , Empower, and CalPERS to manage and invest the assets of the plan; all pool the assets of the plan with those of other participants and do not make separate investments for employees .
H. Accrued Personnel Costs
Accrued personnel costs are costs that are related to payroll withholdings such as PERS contributions, supplemental life insurance, medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts, and union dues just to name a few.
I. Postemployment Health Care Benefits
City Policy permits retirees access to the City’s health plan but at a cost determined each year by the City. The specific language of Policy 301 is “Retirees and their dependents are eligible for medical and vision benefits at a cost determined each year by the City. “
As of June 30, 2025, 38 retirees are participating in the City’s health plan at full cost. Of these retirees 16 have dependent coverage. The full cost of the EPO and PPO plans is up to $953 per month for retiree only coverage, $1,888 for retiree and one dependent , and $2,608 for the retiree and two or more dependents . The retiree fully funds these premiums.
As an alternative, the City also offers retirees access to the City’s high deductible health plan at a premium cost up to $783 per month for retiree only coverage, $1 ,548 for retiree and one dependent , and $2,137 for retiree and two or more dependents.

NOTE 10 − EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)
J. Defined Contribution for Retiree Health Care
In 2011, the City adopted Resolution 2011- 17 establishing the phase out of City subsidy to retiree health care cost by 2019. The guidelines included an additional 10 years to phase out the City’s subsidy for qualifying retirees so that all retirees pay full cost by 2029. A qualified retiree is defined as having a household income less than the Federal Social Security Earnings Limit and either a CalPERS Disability Retirement or 15 years of service with Visalia and eligible for Medicare.
Three retirees qualified for the 202 5 reduced rate; both are enrolled as retirees only. The retiree cost is up to $ 795 per month with the City subsidizing up to $ 348 per month. Qualified retirees must re- certify every year to qualify for the subsidy. A portion of the City’s subsidy will transition to the retiree each year until the qualified retirees pay full cost in 2029 or no longer qualify for this provision.
For fiscal year 2024-2025, the City’s Retiree Health Care Contribution was approximately $ 75,000.
NOTE 11 – RISK MANAGEMENT
A. Coverage
The City self-insures workers’ compensation claims. The City retains or s elf-insures the first $1,000,000 of claims and purchases insurance above the $1,000,000 self -retention to $25,000,000. The program is administered by a third party.
The City has public employee dishonesty insurance with a $100,000 deductible and coverage up to $5,000,000 per loss. The City’s property and machinery insurance has various deductibles and various coverages based on the kind of machinery. During the past four years there have been no significant reductions in any of the City’s insurance coverage and no settlement amounts under these policies have exceeded insurance coverage.
The City currently provides three medical plan options for employees and retirees: a Preferred Provider Plan (PPO), an Exclusive Provider (EPO) and a High Deductible Plan (HD). The City provides medical benefits through an insurance pool, PRISMHealth which in turn participates in a larger pool, Self -Insured Schools of California (SISC). The insurance pool is responsible for maintaining a reserve for incurred but not reported claims. The City retains an equity share in the assets and liabilities of both pools.
The City provides dental and vision coverage to employees through programs which are administered by a third -party service agent. The City is self -insured for dental and vision coverage. The City’s dental and vision liability is calculated based upon the historical lag between when a claim is incurred and the time it takes to be paid. Historically, 2 months of claims remain in the system at any given time. T he City calculated the estimated incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims by averaging the yearly claims and multiplying by 2.
The City is a member of the Authority for California Cities Excess Liability (ACCEL), a joint powers authority, which provides general liability coverage up to $65,000,000 ultimate net loss per occurrence. The City retains the risk for the first $1,000,000 in losses for each occurrence under this policy.
ACCEL was established for the purpose of creating a risk management pool for California municipalities. ACCEL is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of representatives of its member cities. The board controls the operations of ACCEL, including selection of management and approval of the annual budget.
The City’s deposits with ACCEL are calculated based on the ratio of the City’s payroll to the total payrolls of all entities, the losses of all members and the City’s experience rate. Actual surpluses or losses are shared according to a formula

A. Coverage (Continued)
developed from overall loss costs and spread to member entities on a percentage basis after a retrospective rating.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 , the City contributed $ 2,618,468 to ACCEL for current year coverage.
ACCEL audited financial statements are available from Alliant Insurance Services at 560 Mission Street, Sixth Floor, San Francisco, California 94105.
B. Liability for Uninsured Claims
The City provides for the uninsured portion of claims and judgments in the Risk Management Internal Service Fund.
Claims and judgments, including a provision for claims incurred but not reported, are recorded when a loss is deemed probable of assertion and the amount of the loss is reasonably determinable. As discussed above, the City has coverage for such claims, but it has retained the risk for the deductible or uninsured portion of these claims.
The City’s liability for uninsured claims is limited to general liability claims, as discussed above, and was estimated by management based on the fact that claims must be filed with the City within 6 months of the claim’s occurrence.
Incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims are estimated by taking the previous 5 year’s average claim experience for a year and multiplying by 0.5 (6 month/12 months).
Changes in the balances of claim liabilities during the past three years are as follows :
NOTE 12 − CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
The City is subject to litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of the City Attorney, there is no pending litigation which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the City.
At June 30, 2025 , the City had made commitments of approximately $ 126.6 million for outstanding construction projects and open purchase orders.
The City participates in Federal and State grant programs. These programs are subject to audit by the City’s independent accountants in accordance with the provisions of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements of Federal Award (Uniform Guidance) and applicable State requirements. No material cost disallowances were proposed as a result of these audits; however, these programs are still subject to further examination by the grantors, and the amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

Notes to the Budgetary Comparison Schedule
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Budget and Budgetary Accounting
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
1. The biennial budget adopted by the City Council provides for the general operation of the City. It includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. The City Council approves total budgeted appropriations and any amendments to appropriations throughout the year. This "appropriated budget" covers substantially all City expenditures. There were no significant non -budgeted financial activities. Actual expenditures may not exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. The City Manager is authorized to make transfers of budget appropriations between classifications and activities within a fund.
3. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device. Commitments for materials and services, such as purchase orders and contracts, are recorded during the year as encumbrances to assist in controlling expenditures. Appropriations, which are encumbered at year end, are added to the following year's budgeted appropriations.
4. Budgets are adopted on a basis substantially consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, actual revenues and expenditures can be compared with related budgeted amounts without any significant reconciling items. No budgetary comparisons are presented for Proprietary Funds as the City is not legally required to adopt a budget for these types of funds.
5. Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), the City is restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from the proceeds of taxes, and if proceeds of taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the State Controller, returned to the taxpayers through revised tax rates or revised fee schedules, or an excess in one year may be offset against a deficit in the following year. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 202 5, based on calculations by City Management, proceeds of taxes did not exceed related appropriations. Further, Section 5 of Article XIIIB allows the City to designate a portion of fund balance for general contingencies, to be used in future years without limitation.

Internal Service Funds
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal Service Funds are used to finance and account for activities and services performed by a designated department for other departments in the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
The concept of major funds introduced by GASB Statement No. 34 does not extend to internal service funds because they do not do business with outside parties. GASB Statement No. 34 requires that for the Statement of Activities, the net revenue or expenses of each internal service fund be eliminated by netting them against the operations of the other City departments which generated them. The remaining balance sheet items are consolidated with these same funds in the Statement of Net Position.
However, internal service funds are still presented in total in the Fund financial statements, which includes the funds listed below.
FLEET SERVICES
Established to account for the maintenance and fueling of vehicles and related equipment in use by the City.
VEHICLE REPLACEMENT
Established to account for the acquisition of City vehicles. Replacement vehicles are purchased through this fund.
New vehicles added to this fleet (not replacing an existing one) are considered Contributed Capital to the Vehicle Replacement fund.
INFORMATION SERVICES
Established to account for the acquisition, maintenance and upgrade of the City’s computer operations.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Established to account for the self -insured and purchased insurance for the City’s various types of insurance including liability, workers’ compensation, unemployment, property, and employee bonds.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Established to account for the self-insured and purchased insurance for the City’s various types of employee health insurance.
COMPENSATED ABSENCES
Established to account for the long-term portion of the compensated absences liability in the governmental funds.
BUILDING MAINTENANCE
Established to account for the repairs and maintenance for the City’s owned/occupied buildings.

NOTE:
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.

The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law was encated in 1955. The law authorizes cities and counties to impose a sales and use tax. Effective January 1, 1962, all cities and counties have adopted ordinances for the State Board of Equalization to collect the local tax.
Sales Tax only. The use tax was enacted effective July 1, 1935.
In March 2004, a State ballot measure was passed issuing deficit reduction bonds for State purposes. Funding was provided effective July 1, 2004, by repealing 25% of the local 1% sales tax and then adopting a new 1/4 cent sales tax dedicated to the repayment of the deficit reduction bonds. Cities and counties would then be "made whole" by the State from increased property tax allocations via reduced contributions to ERAF. This "triple flip" is theoretically revenue-neutral, and as such, the effective rate for revenue purposes remains at 1%.
In March 2004, the voters of the City of Visalia passed a sales tax override (Measure T) to increase public saftey in the community increasing the City rate by 1/4% ,effectiveJuly 1, 2004. The measure requires the City Manager to annually recertify the Measure T plan to the City Council. Additionally,the plan must be reafirrmed every 8 years by a 4 out of 5 City Council approval.
In November 2006, voters in the County of Tulare approved a countywide sales tax measure (Measure R) giving the County a 1/2% rate increase which became effective April 1, 2007. The sales tax measure has a sunset period of 30 years. The revenue is earmarked for transportation projects with allocations as follows: 50% for regional projects, 35% goes to cities for their street programs, 14% for transportationenhancement programs, and 1% for administration.
In November 2016, voters of the City of Visalia passed a 1/2 (half-cent) sales tax override (Measure N), effective April 1, 2017.
The proceeds of this tax will provide the City with a reliable, ongoing, local source of funding for public safety, repairs and maintenance for streets, and maintenance of parks and trails.
