DATE: February 20, 2024
SUBJECT: Approval for Travel Expenses Exceeding $500.00 for one Planning Commissioner to attend the 2024 Planning Commissioner’s Academy March 6-8, 2024 in Long Beach, CA.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Approve the travel Expenses Exceeding $500.00 for one Planning Commissioner to attend the 202 4 Planning Commissioner’s Academy March 6 -8, 2024 in Long Beach, CA., and
2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 1506 0(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Discussion:
Each year the Planning Division budget includes funds for training and travel for Planning Commissioners to attend the League of California Cities Planning Commissioner’s Conference. The conference is a good opportunity for commissioners to learn more about their role as Commissioners as well as keep up with new legislation affecting Planning and Zoning in California.
The cost of the conference, hotel fees, and food per diems will exceed the Expense and Use of Public Resources Policy limits established by City of Wasco Resolution No. 2006 - 2327, limiting expenses for elected and appointed officials to $500.00 per trip. As a result,
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
34 of 280
the City Council will need to approve the travel requested by the Community Development Director as the expenses for the cost of the trip will exceed $500.00.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of travel and training for the course is estimated to not exceed $2,000. The adopted FY 2023-2024 Operating Budget contains sufficient funding to cover this expense; no budget action is required.

How has the Recent Streamlining of Housing Laws Redefined the Role of Planning Commissioner?
Since the passage of recent bills streamlining housing applications, the role of planning commissioner has undergone significant changes. The bills include SB35 and SB 330, as well as changes to the Density Bonus Laws, and amendments to the Housing Accountability Act. These new laws restrict the commission's discretion and impose subjective standards and conditions of approval. Is the General Plan still the constitution for development and how does the commission currently apply it, along with the zoning code, to housing projects affected by these laws? Additionally, explore the resurgence of interest in Builder's Remedy, despite its inception in 1990. Learn how this part of the Housing Accountability Act has been used in jurisdictions without a certified Housing Element.

How to Apply Objective Standards to Comply with State Law and Retain Local Control
State housing legislation requires that cities review certain housing projects solely against “objective zoning standards,” “objective subdivision standards” and “objective design standards.” Consequently, cities can only use objective standards to deny or adjust the density of certain housing projects. This session will explain the state requirements regarding the utilization of objective standards, identifying the types of objective standards cities can employ to 41 of 280
comply with state law while ensuring that new developments align with the jurisdiction's vision.

The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal /administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Discussion:
With the startup of the Wasco Police Department, it is necessary to have a Records Retention Schedule in place before going live. Staff contacted the C ity’s contracted Records Consultant to draft a Records Retention Schedule for the WPD in compliance with all laws a nd standard business practices for California cities attached here as attachment No. 2. The WPD’s Retention Schedule will be part of the City -wide Records Retention that was adopted by the City Council on October 6, 2020. The WPD will follow the same practices for the routine destruction of records that have exceeded their adopted retention period.
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
44 of 280
Staff is recommending the City Council’s approval of the WPD Records Retention Schedule.
Fiscal Impact:
No cost was incurred for the drafting of the WPD records retention schedule. However, there is an increase in the annual subscription fee for the maintenance of the records retention schedule. Increasing the cost from $250.00 to $500.00 still falls under the budgeted amount under the professional services account, and no budget amendment is necessary with approval of this item.

BJECT: Adopt a Resolution authorizing the preparation and submission of a HOME Program Income (PI) application to the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD) , for funds not to exceed $800,000, to complete rehabilitation projects at Sunrise Villa Apartments and Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a standard agreement and any amendments thereof.
R
ecommendation:
1) Adopt a resolution authorizing the preparation and submission of a HOME P I ap
plication on behalf of the City of Wasco by Self-Help Enterprises (SHE) for funds not to exceed $800,000 to complete rehabilitation projects at Sunrise Villa Apartments, and
2) A

3) Fi
nd that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3), no environmental review is required.
E
nvironmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the Sta te CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
57 of 280
Discussion:
The City of Wasco (City) has approximately $648,076 (less outstanding liabilities) available in HOME program income (PI) cash on hand . HOME funds can be utilized for housing rehabilitation, new construction, and acquisition and rehabilitation, for multifamily projects; new construction and down payment assistance for single-family projects; First- Time Homebuyer down payment assistance, and other housing activities. All activit ies must benefit low-income renters, homebuyers, or homeowners.
SHE would like to utilize the City’s HOME PI, in an amount not to exceed $800,000, to complete rehabilitation projects at Sunrise Villa Apartments, a SHE-owned and operated affordable rental apartment complex. Sunrise Villa is located at 1600 Poplar Avenue and offers 44 affordable rental apartments for low-income families in Wasco. Serving the City since 2002, this community includes spacious outdoor open areas, a community center with a computer lab and common laundry area, a recreation area with picnic tables and BBQ grills, a basketball court, and playground equipment. Each residence also includes washer and dryer hookups in the unit. Resident services offered at this community include the Head Start Program administered by the Community Action Partnership of Kern and after -school programs/computer lab for children. Sunrise Villa was funded by the Federal/State Low Income Housing Tax Credit, USDA – Rural Development Section 514, and the County of Kern HOME Program.
Sunrise Villa was originally constructed in October 2002 and is in need of capital repairs.
SHE will utilize HOME PI to install advanced sustainability and energy efficiency improvements, including water conservation measures and potential conversion to all - electric systems. The projects’ scope of work may also include new fencing, upgraded playground equipment, upgrades to the landscaping to reduce water consumption by installation of xeriscape, upgrades to the irrigation system to reduce water consumption, and replacement of the units’ cabinets and appliances. Sunrise Villa is over 20 years old, and some units still have original fixtures and appliances.
In order to utilize the City’s HOME PI, clearance must be obtained from HCD via submission of a funding application . SHE would prepare the HCD HOME application required for clearance to use PI and provide grant management and implementation services. To facilitate utilization of the funds, SHE would retain legal counsel to draft the loan documents and prepare all materials required for HOME compliance. The HOME loan to SHE would be structured as a 20-year term, bearing a simple interest rate of 3%.
SHE will prepare all quarterly/annual reports, and support the City in HOME monitoring.
These terms can be negotiated, as SHE is flexible with the terms.
Preliminary Budget
Total HOME funds currently on hand $ 648,076
Poso Place Project – Remaining City Administration Costs Liability $ 80,000 Net HOME funds available for new projects $568,076
New Project Budget
Administration Costs (City) (max 10% of HOME funds) $ 56,807 CHDO (SHE) operating expenses (15% of HOME funds) $ 85,211 (Community Housing Development Organization)
Project Expenses Available $ 426,057
58 of 280
The Poso Place project matures in the year 2061, and the new 20-year project will mature in 2044 or 2045. Each project incurs monitoring and reporting expenses annually. To ensure sufficient administrative funds are available for the life of these projects, s taff proposes to transfer the remaining Poso Place administration costs ($80,000) and new project administration costs ($56,807) from HOME Funds to a City interest- bearing account.
The intent of this report is to account for the possibility that additional HOME Project Income funds are received prior to the issuance of the project loan. Staff requests that the Council authorize adjustments to the Budgets above such that all HOME Funds are expended without further Council Action.
Fiscal Impact:
The fee for preparation and submission of the HOME PI application by Self-Help Enterprises is $3,500. If the City elects to contract with SHE to administer/implement HOME PI funds as described above , t he application fee will be funded with the program income as a project cost, and there will be no cost to the City.

SUBJECT: Adopt A Resolution Authorizing t he 2023 Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program Application and Adopting the Permanent Local Housing Allocation ( PLHA) Plan Under The California Department of Housing and Community Development.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to submit the 2023 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program and 5-Year PLHA Plan under the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development.
2) Find the subject activity is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is, therefore, not subject to review under CEQA.
Environmental Review:
This action is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 and is , therefore, not subject to CEQA since it does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The approval of this agenda item does not commit the City to a definite course of action concerning a project since the action authorized herein may lead to the negotiation of a grant agreement. This proposed activity is , therefore, not subject to CEQA . Any future action connected to this approval that constitutes a project will be reviewed for compliance with CEQA.
Discussion:
On February 8, 2024, the City of Wasco posted and published a Public Hearing Notice to consider public comments related to the 2023 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program and City of Wasco 5-YEAR PLHA Plan under the State of California

Important Deadlines:
Program guidelines only allow applicants to apply for the current and two previous NOFA’s allocations. This is the last chance for applicants who have not yet applied for their 2020 allocation to apply for those funds .

The online submission portal will remain open until June 30, 2027 .
Applicants may submit their applications based on the application deadline above for each allocation.
The principal goal of this program is to make funding available to eligible local governments in California for housing-related projects and programs that assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of their local communities.
With this program funding, cities and counties may:
1. Increase the supply of housing for households at or below 60% of Area Median Income
2. Facilitate housing affordability, particularly for lower- and moderate-income households, up to 120% AMI or 150% AMI in high-cost areas,
3. Increase assistance to affordable owner-occupied workforce housing,
4. Assist persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness, 74 of 280
5. Homeownership opportunities, including but not limited to a down payment assistance program.
The City of Wasco plans to use its funding to assist people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness and have incomes that are at or below 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The assistance may include but is not limited to providing street outreach, supportive/case management, rapid rehousing with rental assistance for a minimum of six months, and or operating costs for a navigation center.
The City of Wasco intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) after executing the PLHA standard agreement. The purpose of this RFP is to select a non-profit organization as a partner to provide the necessary supportive services to assist people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to obtain and maintain housing, which can include street outreach, mental health services, emergency health service, substance abuse treatment services, and job training. The City of Wasco will seek a non-profit organization that understands the city's demographics and has previous experience providing these services in Wasco to the homeless population or those at risk of homelessness.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no local match requirement. The PLHA program is an advancement program, not a reimbursement program . The HCD Department must review and approve supporting documents that support the use of PLHA funds . After execution of the PLHA standard agreement, City allocation is available to commit the funds to an eligible project/activity.

§301(a)(6) Assisting persons who are experiencing or At risk of homelessness, including, but not limited to, providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing. §302(c)(4)(C) Provide a description of how the Plan is consistent with the programs set forth in the Local Government’s Housing Element.
The City of Wasco has created a PLHA Plan that aligns with the 2023 Housing Element Plan Update. The goal of the plan is to address the top three homelessness needs identified by the local community, which are mental health services (69.1%), substance abuse programs (67.6%), and housing/emergency/overnight shelter (38.2%). There are currently no local supportive service providers and or emergency shelters available for homeless individuals or those at risk of homelessness in Wasco. However, the funds allocated for this plan will provide the necessary resources to help people experiencing homelessness or at-risk homelessness obtain these services. The ultimate objective of the plan is to reach out to those who are experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness and connect them with the resources and services needed to obtain and maintain housing. §302(c)(4)(A) Describe the manner in which allocated funds will be used for eligible activities.
The City of Wasco intends to allocate its funding to assist persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness with incomes at or below 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI); activities may include, but will not be limited to, providing street outreach, supportive/case management, rapid rehousing with rental assistance for a minimum of six months to allow individuals to secure and retain housing, and operating costs for a navigation center. §302(c)(4)(B) Provide a description of the way the Local government will prioritize investments that increase the supply of housing for households with incomes at or below 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).
The City of Wasco is dedicated to supporting developers as well as residents in obtaining affordable housing programs offered by federal, state, local, and private organizations. The City recognizes the importance of these programs in creating new and preserving existing housing. Currently, the City is working with existing housing developers to reuse HOME Program income funds to ensure the preservation of affordable housing in Wasco. Furthermore, the City actively seeks funding opportunities for grants that can bring in the necessary infrastructure, such as water wells, parks, sidewalks, bike lanes, and roads, which will enable developers to increase the housing supply. This is particularly significant for households with an income at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
§302(c)(4) Plan Rev. 01/23/24
2022
The City of Wasco plans to use its funding to assist people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness and have incomes that are at or below 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The assistance may include but is not limited to providing street outreach, supportive/case management, rapid rehousing with rental assistance for a minimum of six months, and operating costs for a navigation center. The City of Wasco plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) after completing the PLHA standard agreement. The purpose of this RFP is to select a non-profit organization as a partner to provide the necessary supportive services to assist people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to obtain and maintain housing, which can include street outreach, mental health services, emergency health service, substance abuse treatment services, and job training. The City of Wasco will seek a non-profit organization that has a good understanding of the city's demographics and has previous experience providing services in Wasco to the homeless population or those who are at risk of becoming homeless.
Complete the table below for each proposed Activity to be funded with 2020-2023 PLHA allocations. If a single Activity will be assisting households at more than one level of Area Median Income, please list the Activity as many times as needed to capture all of the AMI levels that will be assisted, but only show the percentage of annual funding allocated to the Activity one time (to avoid double counting). 2021 2021 2022

STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: M. Sco tt Hurlbert, City Manager
Isarel Perez-Hernandez, Finance Director
DATE: February 20, 2024
SUBJECT: Receive and file the City of Wasco Financial Statements for the Year Ended June 30, 2023, and the City of Wasco Measure X Financial Statements for the Year Ended June 30, 2023.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council:
1) Receive and file the City of Wasco Financial Statements for the Year Ended June 30, 2023, and the City of Wasco Measure X Financial Statements for the Year Ended June 30, 2023, and
2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.
Environmental Review:
The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not resul t in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.
Background
The City is required to prepare and audit the fi nancial statements for all financial transactions of all funds of the City on an annual basis. The audited financial statements are prepared to communicate the financial health of the City with those charged with governance, state/federal oversight agencies, investors, and the general public.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) is an organization that was established to assist in the professional management of governments by developing and identifying financial policies and best practices through education, training, facilitation 86 of 280
of member leadership, and networking. The objectives of the GFOA are to offer expert knowledge, education, training, leadership development, strategic use of technology, and raise public awareness of sound financial policy and practice. They do this by being a leading source of information in public financial management from research, practice and policy development, and information distribution. They improve the expertise and professionalism of financial managers a nd leaders and provide recognition for their achievements.
GFOA released a publication on financial reporting best practices where it states that f
inancial reporting should be issued within six months of the fiscal year -end in order for the information to be considered timely and useful by readers to make informed decisions. A substantial City accounting software upgrade and a glitch in the auditor's auditing system played a key role in the delayed issuance of the audits.
In addition to the GFOA’s best practices for timely financial reporting’s, the G
overnmental Accounting Standards Board ( GASB) establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for states and local governments . The Governmental Accounting Standards B oard (GASB) states that , “ Financial reporting helps fulfill the government‘s duty to be publicly accountable. Financial reporting also helps to satisfy the needs of users who have limited authority, ability, or resources to obtain information and who there fore rely on the reports as an important source of information. For that purpose, financial reporting objectives should consider the needs of users and the decisions they make.”
Audit Opinions
Auditors have the option of choosing among four different types of auditor opinion reports. An auditor opinion report is a letter that auditors attach to the statutory audit report that reflects their opinion of the audit. The four types of auditor opinions ar e:
Unmodified – the opinion that is expressed when the auditor concludes that the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.
Qualified – the opinion that is expressed when the auditor either (a) having obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence, concludes that misstatements, individually or in the aggregate, are material but not pervasive to the financial statements; or (b) is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the opinion, but concludes that the possible effects on the financial statements of undetected misstatements, if any, could be material but not pervasive.
Adverse – the opinion that is expressed when the auditor, having obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence, concludes that misstatements, individually or in the aggregate, are both material and pervasive to the financial statements.
Disclaimer – the opinion that is expressed when the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the opinion, and the auditor concludes 87 of 280
that the possible effects on the financial statements of undetected misstatements, if any, could be both material and pervasive.
The type of opinion that all local auditees should strive to achieve is an unmodified opinion (clean opinion)
Discussion
The City of Wasco’s F inancial Statements (Attachment 1) have been audited by the independent certified public accounting firm of Badawi and Associates. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City of Wasco for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, are free of material misstatements. The audit involved examining, on a test basis, the evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements , assessing the accounting principles used and estimates made by management , and evaluating t he overall presentation of financial statements.
The independent auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City of Wasco’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Badawi and Associates have completed the Audited Financial Statements and Supplemental Information for the City of Wasco for the year ended June 30, 2023. Badawi and Associates have issued the following audit opinion:
“In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund Information of the City of Wasco. California, as of June 30, 202 3, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.”
The City of Wasco Measure X Financial Statements (attachment 2) have been audited by Badawi and Associates and the auditors also issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on these financial statements.
Staff was recently awarded the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). The last time the city received this coveted award was in 2012.
An Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is a set of financial statements for a state, municipality, or other governmental entity that comply with the accounting requirements established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). It must be audited by an independent auditor using generally accepted government auditing standards.
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report consists of three sections: Introductory, Financial, and Statistical.
88 of 280
The Introductory section orients and guides the reader through the report. The Financial section presents the entity’s basic financial statements as well as notes to the statements and the independent auditors’ report. The Statistical section provides additional financial and statistical data, including data about financial trends that may better inform the reader about the government’s acti vities. The statistical section is divided into five categories:
• Financial Trends Information.
• Revenue Capacity Information.
• Debt Capacity Information.
• Demographic and Economic Information.
• Operating Information.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT It is a pleasure to present the fiscal year 2022-2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the City of Wasco. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Responsibility for the accuracy of the data, the completeness and reliability of the presentation, including all disclosures, rest with the City management.
State law requires that every general-purpose lo cal government publish within nine months of the close of the fiscal year a complete set of audited financial statements. This report is published to fulfill that requirement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
Management assumes full responsibility for the co mpleteness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal controls that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free from any material misstatements.
Badawi and Associates, Certified Public Accoun tants have audited the financial statements and issued an unqualified (“clean”) opinion on the Ci ty of Wasco’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023. The independent auditors’ report is located at the font of the financial section of this report.
Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative introduction , overview and analysis of the basic financial statements. The MD&A complement this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with this transmittal.
Organization of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report The report is presented in three sections: introductory, financial and statistical.
Section One – The introductory section includes this transmitta l letter and other information to familiarize the reader with the City, including a directory of officials, the City’s mission statement and organizational values, and charts.

Section Two – The financial section consists of six parts: 1) the independent auditors’ report; 2) Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A); 3) the basic financial statements including the government-wide financial statements; 4) fund financial statements; 5) notes to the financial statements; and 6) required supplementary information.
Section Three – The statistical section includes selected u naudited financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multi-year basis. This information includes financial trends, revenue trends, debt capacity, demographics, and economic and operating information.
Profile of the Government
The City of Wasco was incorporated in 1945, and is located 30 miles north west from Bakersfield, the largest city in Kern County. The City of Wasco lies in the heart of the most diversified agricultural region in the world with an array of agriculture products such as almonds, pistachios, cotton, carrots, and roses. The City is centra lly located between two major freeways within the State of California, Highway 99 (SR99), nine (9) miles to the east, and Interstate 5 (I-5) seventeen (17) miles to the west. The City of Wasco curren tly occupies a land area of 9.7 square miles and serves a population of 26,622 of which includes approximately 3,500 prison inmates housed at the Wasco State Prison. The City of Wasco relies on taxes from various sources and agencies; such as, property tax, motor vehicle-in-lieu and franchise tax. The City is empowered by State statute to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which occurs periodically when deemed appropriate by the governing council.
The City of Wasco operates under the Council-Manager form of government. Policymaking and legislative authority are vested in a governing Council consisting of the Mayor and four other Members, all elected on a non-partisan basis. The Council appoints the government’s attorney and City Manager, who in turn appoint the he ads of various departments. Council Members serve four-year overlapping terms, with three Council Members elected every two years and two Council Members elected during the alternate two years. The Council selects one of its Members to serve as Mayor each year.
The City of Wasco provides a full range of servic es, including, but not limited to, construction and maintenance of streets and roads, and other in frastructure, as well as animal control, code enforcement, building inspection and planning. The City provides public safety by contracts with the Kern County Sheriff Department for police services and with the Kern County Fire Department for fire protection services. Certai n services are provided through legally separate enterprise funds, such as water, wastewater, an d sanitation, which functions, in essence, as a department of the City of Wasco and therefore has been included as an integral part of the City of Wasco’s financial statements.
Blended component units are legally separate en tities for which the primary government is financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance, part of the primary government. A ccordingly, the Successor Agency to the former Wasco Redevelopment Agency for the Low and Moderate Housing Fund is reported in the funds of the City’s financial statements.
vi

The former Wasco Redevelopment Agency was prev iously included within the reporting entity of the City as a blended
component unit, since the governing board of the City also served as the governing board of the Redevelopment Agency. On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill X 1 26, that required the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. As a result of the Court’s decision, the City of Wasco elected to serve in a fiduciary role as the “Successor Agency” for the Redevelopment Agency. Therefore, as of June 30, 2022, the financial statement of the non-housing component of the former redevelopment agency are reported separately as a fiduciary fund. The City of Wasco is also financially accountable for the legally sepa rate Wasco Public Financing Autho rity, established in 1989 by a joint powers agreement. Additional information on both of these legally separate entities can be found in the notes to the financial statements (See Note 1).
The Council is required to adopt a final budget no later than the close of the prior fiscal year. This annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Wasco’s financial planning and control.
The budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g., general fund), and department (e.g., police). The City Manager may transfer resources within a department and between departments according to the legal levels of budgetary control defined within the City’s adopted Budget Resolution.
Local economy
Major industries located within the City’s boundaries or in close proximity include agricultural production and processing, logistical, warehousing and distribution centers. The State also has a significant economic presence thanks in part to the Wasco State Prison, that provides employment for more than 1,100 correctional guards and staff.
Because of the City’s location within the region and heavy reliance on seasonal agricultural jobs, unemployment has historically been relatively high, compared with California as a whole.
The City of Wasco’s economy is based primarily on agriculture production and related industries.
The farm land surrounding the City of Wasco su pports thousands of acres of diversified crops, such as roses, potatoes, corn, almonds, alfalfa, sweet potatoes, carrots, melons, oranges, and a variety of other fruits and vegetables. Wasco is also home to a substantial portion of the nation’s

rose production and is universally known as th e “Rose Capital of the Nation”. Every year, thousands of visitors come to the Wasco Rose Fest ival, held in September, to view the hundreds of acres of roses in radiant bloom.
Long-term financial planning
The City of Wasco, like all cities in California, is experiencing economic recovery from the pandemic, however significant challenges to fiscal health remain. Concerns remain about rising inflation and its impacts on City costs. In additi on, there are potential impacts of drought on the local agricultural economy, proposed ban on oil and related regional economic impacts, and the potential impact of prison closures both in terms of regional employment and criminal justice/public safety costs associated with release and reduced sentences of incarcerated inmates.
The City faces these challenges with some key strengths, namely:
“Clean” (unqualified) audited financial statem ents. The City has a long history of receiving clean audits.
No unfunded retiree he alth care obligations. This is a significant fiscal health factor for the City. To put the potential impact of un funded retiree health costs in perspective compared with other agencies, the State of California’s unfunded retiree health care liabilities are larger than its unfunded pension obligations. No General Fund debt obligations.
Strong General Fund reserves. The General Fund has an unassigned fund balance equal to 149% of the operating budget at June 30, 2023.
Long-standing tradition of responsible fi nancial management and prudent stew ardship of community assets. This core value will se rve the City well in m eeting the challenges ahead in a fiscally responsible way that preserves essential services.
Relevant financial policies and practices
Any excess cash beyond working capital is invested in the State Treasurer’s investment Pool – Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority (CSJVRMA) and/or CalTrust. These are considered to be very liquid investment pools and funds can be obtained on demand.
It is the City of Wasco’s policy that “one time” resource inflows not be used for ongoing operating purposes. Accordingly, the City Council consider s and approves individual projects for the use of “one time” inflow funds.
Major initiatives
The 2022-23 budget included approximately $18.5 million in capital projects, with an emphasis on continuing the street rehabilitation activities, completion of new well construction to mitigate 1, 2, 3 – TCP and improvement of City facilities and assets. The Central Avenue neighborhood park and road rehabilitation on Poplar Avenue are two specific projects. The capital budget also includes the replacement of several aging fleet vehicles, including new zero emission buses. viii

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Wasco
Wasco, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business- type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Wasco, California (City) as of and for the year ended Ju ne 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental acti vities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Ci ty as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash fl ows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applic able to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our respon sibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City of Wasco and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibility of Management’s for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of inter nal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free fr om material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is re quired to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financ ial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Draft 2/14/2024
108 of 280
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Wasco
Wasco, California
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance ab out whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, wh ether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of inte rnal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individua lly or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements
Obtain an understanding of internal control rele vant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s inter nal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting polic ies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as we ll as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are cond itions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charge d with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the au dit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison in formation, and pension required supplementary information on pages 5-21 and 85-96, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or hist orical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our in quiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Wasco
Wasco, California
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of formin g opinions on the fina ncial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, budgetary co mparison schedules on pages 99-123 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financ ial statements, and the budgetary comparison schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financia l statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditi ng standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, and the budgetary comparison schedules on pages 99-123 are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical section but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connect ion with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the othe r information and consider whethe r a material inconsistency exists between the other information and th e financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work pe rformed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we have also issued our report dated February 13, 2024, on our consideration of the City’s internal contro l over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regula tions, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial report ing or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Ci ty’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

The Statement of Net Position presents financial information on all the City’s assets/deferred outflows of sources and liabilities/deferred inflow s of sources, with the difference reported as net position. In the private sector, it is similar to a balance sheet.
Over time, increases or decrease s in net financial position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is impr oving or declining. In conformance with GASB Statement No 68 (GASB 68), the Statement of Net Po sition reported for the fiscal year considers the City’s long-term pension liabilities, effectively decreasing the City’s net financial position.
The Statement of Activities presents changes in the government’s net position during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported during the period when the underlying events giving rise to the change occur, regardle ss of the timing of the related cash flow. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods such as revenue pertaining to uncollected taxes.
The City’s government-wide financial statements di stinguish the functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their cost through user fees or that are required by grantor agencies or City policies to be accounted for in this fashion (business- type activities).
The governmental activities include: (1) general government, (2) public safety, (3) public works, and (4) community development. The business-type activities ( proprietary fund type ) of the City 5 Draft 2/14/2024

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
include: (1) water reclamation and sewer, (2) wate r utility, (3) refuse collection and disposal, (4) public transportation and (5) CNG fueling station.
As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the City (the primary government) and its component units (entities for which the go vernment is considered to be financially accountable). Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance, part of the government’s operations and data from these units are combined with data of the primary government.
Pension Obligation. Pursuant to GASB 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, the City reports on the unfunded pension liability on the full accrual basis of accounting in the government-wide financial statements. The reports also include note disclosure requirements and supplementary schedules as required. The measurement date for fiscal year 2022-23 pension liabilities is as of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, which reflects a one-year lag. Activity (i.e., contributions made by the City) occurring during fiscal year 2022-23 are reported as deferred outflows of resources in accordance with GASB Statement No. 71.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund ac counting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of th e funds of the City can be divided into three categories: (1) governmental funds, (2) proprietary funds, and (3) fiduciary funds. Fund financial statements focus on individual parts of the City’s government by reporting the City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal ye ar. Such information reflects financial resources available in the near future to finance the City’s programs.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activiti es in the government-wide financial statements.
By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financial decisions. Both the governmental fu nds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains twenty-two (22) individual governmental funds organized according to their purpose (general or special revenue). Information is presented in the governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances. The General Fund and eight special revenue funds are considered major funds. The major funds consist of the General Fund, TD A Grant Fund, CDBG RLA Fund, the CalHOME Reuse Fund, the 2005 HCD Fund, the RDA Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, Park 6 Draft 2/14/2024

Impact Fund, ARPA Grant and new this year, the California High Speed Rail Grant Fund. Data from the non-major governmental funds are co mbined into one aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of the non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the supplementary information section in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budge t for all major funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided as required supplementary information to demonstrate compliance with the budget.
Budgetary information for non-major governme ntal funds with annual budgets has been provided with the fund financial statements in the supplementary information section in this report.
Proprietary Funds. Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the City charges customers; either outsid e customers or internal units/divisions of the City. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as shown in the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The only type of proprietary fund the City maintains is enterprise funds. The Water Reclamation and Sewer, Water Ut ility, Refuse Collection and Disposal, Public Transportation, and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Fueling Station Funds are presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Fiduciary Funds . Custodial funds are the only type of fiduciary funds maintained by the City.
These are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the primary government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not ava ilable to support the City’s own programs. An example of a custodial funds held in trust of anot her entity to be utilized for a specific purpose.
A specific example is RDA Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund, which is restricted for the sole purpose of payment of items on an approved Recognized Payment Obligation Schedule.
The accounting used for fiduciary funds is mu ch like that used for proprietary funds. The Custodial Funds are presented with the fund financial statements in the supplementary information section.
Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to the full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
The notes to the basic financial statements can be found beginning on page 53 of this report.
Required Supplementary Information . In addition to the basi c financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents required supplementary information including budgetary comparison schedules for the major and non-major funds.

Financial Highlights
Total assets of the City of Wasco exceeded it s liabilities as of June 30, 2023 by $122.2 million. Of this amount, $45.6 million represents unrestricted funds which may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations for citizens. The City’s total net position increased by $8.8 million or 7.8 percent over the course of the current fiscal year. The net position for go vernmental activities increased 12.3 percent, while the net position for business-type activities increased 2.2 percent. Total sales tax revenues decreased by nearly $172,000 or 3.1 percent from the prior fiscal year. This is due in large part due in large part to a change in consumer habits as inflation erodes purchasing power. Property taxes al so decreased by almost $171,000 or 14.8 percent from the prior fiscal year due to fact ors such as a decline in property values, and changes in assessment methods.
As of the end of the fiscal year, the Genera l Fund had an ending fund balance of $26.4 million, an increase of $5.5 million from the prior year. Increased revenues from state allocations of gas and motor vehicle taxes, as well as improved investment returns contributed to the overall increase in fund balance.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net Position
Our analysis focuses on the net position (Table 1) and changes in net position (Table 2) for the City’s governmental and business-type activities.
The City’s net position is made up of three components and consists of: invested in capital, net of related debt; restricted and unrestricted net posi tion. Restricted net position is subject to constraints that are either exte rnally imposed by outside agencies, for example banks or grant agencies, or imposed by law through constitu tional provision or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted net position are resources availabl e to meet the City’s ongoing obligations for citizens and creditors. The capital assets reflec ted within Table 1 are stated net of accumulated depreciation.
As noted earlier, the net position of the government may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City of Wasco, combined net position for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 totaled $122.2 million, an increase of $8.9 million from June 30, 2022.
8 Draft 2/14/2024
115 of 280
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The largest single component of the City’s net po sition, $63.6 million, is investments in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, improvements, eq uipment, infrastructure and construction in progress) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
Restricted net position is calculated by reducing the carrying value of restricted assets by amounts repayable from those assets, excluding capital-related debt. The restricted net position represents resources subject to restrictions imposed either by external creditors or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. During the year, total restricted net position increased by $940,695, all of which is attributable to governmental activities. This was primarily due to unspent Gas Tax revenues and traffic impa ct fees, which are restricted for streets and transportation uses.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City has a positive balance in all three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for the separate governmental and business-type activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Governmental Activities:
The City’s ending net position for government al activities increased by $7.7 million or 12.3 percent in 2022-23. This accounted for 86.2 percen t of the total government-wide increase in net position and reflects that governmental activities represent 57.6 percent of the government-wide net position. Total revenues increased by $2.6 million or 17 percent from the prior year and total expenses increased by $695,398 or 7.5%. Some of the key elements contributing to these changes are as follows:
Capital grants and contribution of $1.9 million were recognized in the current year for the police start-up costs and the completion of a street project and operating grants were $535,000 more than the prior year due to reimbursement from the Wasco Housing Authority for a joint project venture.
Both sales tax and property tax revenues were reduced compared to the prior year. Total sales tax revenues decreased by nearly $172,000 or 3.1 percent from th e prior fiscal year.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As shown below, the City of Wasco governmental activities are primarily funded by tax revenues, with approximately 66 percent of total revenues coming from taxes. In the current year, grants and contributions comprised 23 percent of revenu es, reflecting the grant received for the new police department start up costs as well as street project reimbursements and a reimbursement from the Wasco Housing Authority.
12 Draft 2/14/2024
119 of 280
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As reflected above, the four largest revenue sources in the current fiscal year are Sales tax, Motor vehicle in-lieu tax, Capital grants and contributions, and Charges for services. Sales taxes include the City’s local 1% transaction tax, known as Measure X or the Enhanced City Services Measure, which was approved by voters in November 2016.
Business-Type Activities:
The City of Wasco’s business-type activities co nsist of Water Reclamation and Sewer, Water Utility, Refuse Collection and Disposal, Public Transportation, and CNG Fueling Station. For the fiscal year ended 2023, as reflected above in Table 2, combined business-type activities increased the City’s net position $1.1 million or 2.3 perc ent from the prior year. Total business-type activities contribute 42.3 percent of the total net position of the City. Some of the significant changes that occurred during the year were as follows:
Water Utility operating expenses increased by $546,737 or 19.6 percent because of increases in utility rates, replacement of fl eet, and maintenance of water wells. transfers increased by $294,069 or 261 percent due to a reimbursement from High Speed Rail for the replacement of a water well which was compounded by a decrease in operating revenues of $186,239 or 5.1 percent due to State of California direct assistance for past due water bills not available in 2023 that resulted in a net change in position of just $70,830 in FY 2022-23, as compared to an increase of $1,056,073 the prior year. Public Transportation operat ing expenses increased by $2 02,648 or 58 percent because transit fleet operated a full year while fuel ra tes were high as well as an increase in professional services and wages.
Expenses rose by $270,419 or 12.3 percent in Water Reclamation and Sewer, $223,860 or
7.4 percent in Refuse Collection and Disposal because these funds hired vacant positions while paying for higher fuel costs and utility rates to operate a sewer treatment plant.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City of Wasco uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds:
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and fund balances that are available for spending. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, the unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
Table 3, on below, shows the governmental fund balances for the two fiscal years ending June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. Governmental funds are divided into two categories consisting of major and non-major funds. The major funds consist of the General Fund, California High Speed Rail Grant Fund, TDA Grant Fund, CDBG RLA Fund, the CalHOME Reuse Fund, the 2005 HCD Fund, the RDA Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, the Park Impact Fund, and the ARPA Grant Fund. All other funds were classified as nonmajor funds. A major fund is any individual fund that meets the criteria of the following combined two tests: 1) the corresponding total revenues, expenses (or expenditures), assets or liabilities for all funds of that category or type (governmental funds or enterprise funds) are at least 10 percent of total aggregate for all funds and; 2) at least 5 percent of the total aggregate for all funds (gov ernmental and enterprise funds) combined. The General Fund is always classified as a major fund, while all other funds must meet the qualifications to be a major fund.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As of fiscal year ended 2023, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $38.4 million, an increase of $6.2 million from fiscal year 2022. Total governmental funds include the General Fund, wh ich is the chief operating fund of the City, and had a fund balance of $26.4 million as of June 30, 2023. This is an increase of nearly $5.5 million over the prior year. This increase is due to increased intergovernmental revenues and the improved investment market, as previously discussed.
Proprietary Funds:
The City’s proprietary funds pr ovide the same type of inform ation found in the government- wide financial statements, but in more detail. On the next page (Table 4) shows proprietary funds activities and Net Position for the two fiscal years ending June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022.
The total net position in the enterprise funds increased over the prior year by approximately $1.1 million or 2.2 percent. Revenues remained re latively unchanged. However, total program expenses were higher in all but the CNG Fueling Station Fund. Expenses rose by $283,187 or 12.9 percent in Water Reclamation and Sewer, $585,042 or 21 percent in Water Utility Funds, $245,585 or 8.1 percent in Refuse Collection and Disposal and Public Transportation costs were higher by $257,412 or 74 percent. Expenses for performing routine sewer chemical testing, increase in utility rates for gas and electricity, 3% COLA increase, and filling vacant positions are all factors that contributed towards higher expenses in prop rietary funds. The CNG Fueling Station Fund experienced a decrease in expenses by $19,305 or 12 percent due to the station being non- operative for four months.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
General Fund Budget Highlights:
The City of Wasco adopts annual appropriated operating budgets for its governmental funds (General Fund, special revenue funds and nonmajor governmental funds) and reports the results of operations on a budget comparison basis.
In preparing its budget, the City of Wasco attempts to estimate its revenues using realistic, but conservative, methods so as to budget its expenditure appropriations and activities in a prudent manner. As a result, the City Council adopts budget adjustments during the course of the fiscal year to reflect both changes in priorities and av ailability of additional revenues to allow for expansion of existing programs. During the course of the year, the City Council amended the originally adopted budget to re-appropriate prior year approved projects and expenditures, as well as approving many other adjustments for th e current. The relationship between original budget and final budget for the General Fund is summarized below.
Major governmental funds budgetary comparison can be found on pages 88 through 96 while nonmajor governmental funds budgetary comparis ons begin on page 111. These analyses show the relationship between the original adopted bu dget, the final budget, and actual amount of revenues and expenditures. The budgeted figures are presented on the modified accrual basis.
The General Fund reflects a net total favorable budget variance of $8.7 million when comparing the actual amounts to the final budget for the cu rrent fiscal year. This positive variance is primarily due to grant funding re imbursements, and salary savings from vacant positions, In addition, revenues were $2.7 million more than budgeted.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets:
The Capital Assets for both governmental and business-type activities are those assets that are used in the performance of the City’s functions, including infrastructure assets. Capital Assets include land, buildings, equipment, park facilities, roads, and construction in progress. Land owned by the City for its own use is consider ed non-depreciable assets, based on generally accepted accounting principles. Construction in progress represents capital projects that are incomplete at the end of the fiscal year. Because these projects are incomplete, they are classified under non-depreciable assets. Once the project is complete, depreciation is applied to that asset.
During the first year of service, capital assets are depreciated on a prorated basis, beginning in the month when the asset is placed in service. Each proceeding year, a full year (twelve months) of depreciation is calculated, until the asset is completely depreciated.
As of June 30, 2023, the City’s investment in Capital Assets for its governmental and business- type activities increased to $63.6 million (net of accumulated depreciation), which is an increase of $1.6 million from the prior year. More information on the City’s Capital Assets can be found in Note 1 of the financial statements on page 59 and Note 5, on pages 71 and 72.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Major Capital Asset activities during the fiscal year included the following:

The City replaced digester valves, tricking filter pumps, sludge pond liners which resulted in $424,176 in the sewer fund.
The water fund had $396,962 in construction in progress mainly driven by Well 14 which a well that is replacing Well 9.
The sanitation fund acquired two new sanitation trucks totaling $717,245.
Long Term Debt:
At June 30, 2023, the City of Wasco had no outstanding long term debt. More information about the City’s long-term obligation policies can be found in Note 1 of the financial statements on page
61. ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
For the last two years, the major fiscal threat facing the City was uncertain recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. With the availability of vaccines, the public health crisis appears over and current trends reflect recovery. However, there are mixed signals. New economic challenges have surfaced including rising inflation and fears of recession. The budget is fiscally responsible and balanced, preserves essential services and recognizes that delivery methods may change.
Despite the uncertainties ahead, there are several key strengths for 2023-24:
Starts with a balanced budget . The City begins with a balanced budget; it is not scrambling to close past deficits.
Unqualified “clean” audited financial statements. The City has a long history of receiving clean audits.
No unfunded retiree health care obligations. This is a significant fiscal-heath factor for the City. To put the potential impact of unfunded retiree health costs In perspective compared with other agencies, the State of California’s unfunded retiree health care liabilities are larger than its unfunded pension obligations.
No General Fund debt obligations . The City begins 2023-24 with no General Fund debt service obligations.
Strong General Fund Reserves. The unassigned General Fund balance is projected to end 2023-24 with 47% of operating expenditures, compared with the City’s minimum policy target of 35%. (Note that $9.3 million cont inues to be “assigned” for the Labor Housing Complex project. The High-Speed Rail Authority has committed to funding this cost. The agreement to cover the cost of cleaning up the complex has been executed. However, it is a reimbursement arrangement and significant funds will be expended as work proceeds. Clear budget and fiscal policies. These provide the City with an essential foundation for effective financial decision-making and in protec ting the City’s fiscal health, in both the short and long-term.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements of the City of Wasco (the "City") have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The following summary of th e City’s more significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in interpreting the ba sic financial statements and other data in this report.
These policies should be viewed as an integral part of the accompanying basic financial statements.
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Wasco, California was incorporated on December 17, 1945. Th e City is a full-service city and operates under a Council - Manager form of gove rnment, providing the following services: general government; public safety; public works; and development and conservation. The City is located in Kern County approximately 25 miles northwest of Bakersfield, the County government seat.
The City has defined its reporting entity in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which provide guidance for determining which governmental activities, organizations, and functions should be included in the reporting entity. The Basic Financial Statements present information on the activities of the reporting en tity, including all of the fund types of the City (the primary government) and its component units.
Accounting principles generally acce pted in the United States of America require that the component units be separated into blended or discre tely presented units for reporting pu rposes. Although legally separate entities, blended component units are, in substance, part of the City’s operations. Therefore, they are reported as part of the primary government. Discre tely presented component units are reported in a separate column in the basic financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the City.
The City has no discretely presented component units.
Blended Component Units
On March 6, 1989, the City and the former Wasco Redevelopment Agency entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement establishing the Wasco Public Financ ing Authority (the "Authori ty") for the purpose of issuing its bonds to be used to provide financial assistance to the City, the Agency or any other public entity of the State of California. The funds of this componen t unit are reported in the Special Revenue Funds and the Custodial Fund. Separate financial statements are not available for the Authority. The City Council of Wasco is the governing body for the Authority.
B. Basis of Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activiti es of the primary government and its component units.
Governmental activities, which normally are support ed by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. 53 Draft 2/14/2024

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued B. Basis of Presentation, Continued
For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are paym ents-in-lieu of taxes where the amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the interfun d services provided and other charges between the City’s sewer, water and refuse function and various other functions of the government. Eliminations of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expens es are those that are clea rly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Indire ct expenses have been allocated to ma jor functions in order to present a more accurate and complete picture of the cost of services. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, prop rietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and ma jor individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Fund Financial Statements
The accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self- balancing accounts that constitute its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures /expenses. Funds are organized into three major categories: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. An emphasis is placed on major funds within the governmental and proprietary categories. A fund is cons idered major if it is the primary operation fund of the City or meets the following criteria:
a. Total assets and deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and b. Total assets and deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fu nd or enterprise fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined. c. The government has determined that a fund is important to the financial statement user. 54 Draft 2/14/2024

The major funds are as follows:
Governmental Funds
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The revenues of the General Fund consist mostly of property tax, sales tax, motor vehicle tax, and franchise fees.
The California High-Speed Rail Fund is used to accoun t for funds received from the California High Speed Rail fund……..
The TDA Fund accounts for revenues allocated by the Kern Council of Governments under the Transportation Development Act (TDA). Revenues receiv ed are held in this fund and transferred to the Public Transportation Fund and Streets Fund when actual costs of transportations, repairs to streets or replacement of streets are incurred.
The CDBG RLA Fund accounts for several rounds of funding from Community Development Block Grants for low interest housing rehabilitation loans. As these funds pay back, they are counted as program income for the CDBG Revolving Loan Fund. Funds accumulated within this fund are loaned back out for additional low interest housing rehabilitation loans in accordance with the City’s agreement with the State Department for Housing and Community Development (HCD). These funds are also used in conjunction with CalHome funds in order to fund larger rehabilitation and reconstruction needs.
The CalHOME Reuse Fund accounts for the several rounds of fund ing received from the CalHOME Program and as loans are repaid the money is plac ed in the CalHOME Reuse Fund. The CalHOME Reuse money is available to continue funding eligible activities.
The 2005 HCD Fund accounts for $950,000 awarded from the California Department of Housing and Community Development to assist in the construction of Poso Place Senior Apartments. The money was lent to F & Poso Street Investors, a California limited partnership.
The RDA Low & Moderate Income Housing fund is a special revenue fund type that accounts for the required 20% set-aside of tax revenues specifically to be used toward low and moderate income housing projects as required by State law.
The Park Impact Fund is a special revenue fund type th at accounts for park impact fees collected from new residential developments within the city. These fees are used by the City to provide park and recreational facilities that reasonably serve the new development.
The ARPA is a is a special revenue fund type that accounts for the American Rescue Plan Act Funding and related expenditures.

Proprietary Funds
The Water Reclamation and Sewer Fund is used to a ccount for the provisions of sewer service to the residents of the City. All activities necessary to provide such service are accounted for in this fund.
The Water Utility Fund is used to a ccount for the provisions of water service to residents of the City. All activities necessary to provide such service are accounted for in this fund.
The Refuse Collection and Disposal Fund is used to a ccount for the collection and disposal of refuse within the City. All activities necessary to provide such service are accounted for in this fund.

The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Fueling Station Fund accounts for two fill pumps available to the City of Wasco, Local School Districts, and the general public.
Fiduciary Fund
The RDA Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund accounts for monies received from the Kern County Auditor Controller for the repayment of th e enforceable obligations of the former Wasco Redevelopment Agency. These funds are restricted for the sole purpose of payment of items on an approved Recognized Payment Obligation Schedule (ROPS).
The Wasco Public Financing Authority Custodial Fund is used to account for assets held by the City of Wasco Public Financing Authority as an agent for various local governments and other entities.
C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus is a term used to describe “w hich” transactions are reco rded within the various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to “when” transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus applied.
Measurement Focus
On the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, both governmental and business-like activities are presented using the economic resources me asurement focus. The accounting objectives of the economic measurement focus are th e determination of operating income, changes in net position (or cost recovery), financial position, and cash flows. All assets and liabili ties (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported. 56 Draft 2/14/2024

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued C. Measurement Focus and Basi s of Accounting, Continued Measurement Focus
In the fund financial statements, the “current financ ial resources” measurement focus or the “economic resources” measurement focus is used as appropriate:
1. All governmental funds utilize a “current financia l resources” measurement focus. Only current financial assets and liabilities ar e generally included on their balance sheets. Their operating statements present sources and uses of availa ble spendable financial resources during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their meas ure of available spendable financial resources at the end of the period.
2. The proprietary fund, and the fiduciary funds utiliz es an “economic resources” measurement focus.
It Equity is classified as net position.
Basis of Accounting
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, both governmental and business-like activities are presente d using the accrual basis of accoun ting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are reco gnized when “measurable and available”. Measurable means knowing or being ab le to reasonably estimate the amount. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. Revenues which are susceptible to accrual include property taxe s and special assessments that are levied for and due for the fiscal year and collected within 60 days after ye ar-end. Licenses, permits, fines, forfeits, charges for services and miscellaneous revenues are recorded as governmental fund type revenues when received in cash because they are not generally measurable until actually received. Revenue from taxpayer assessed taxes, such as sales taxes, are recognized in the accounting period in which they became both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the fiscal period. Grant fund s and reimbursements of expenses under contractual agreements are reported in governmental fund types and are recorded as a receivable when earned rather than when susceptible to accrual. Generally, this occurs when authorized expenditures are made under the grant program or contractual agr eement. Expenditures are recognized when the fund liability is incurred, if measurable , except for unmatured interest on long-term debt, which is recognized when due.
The accrual basis of accounting is followed by the pr oprietary fund and fiduciar y funds. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earn ed and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used.
Proprietary funds distinguish oper ating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing goods and services in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for enterprise fu nds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. 57 Draft 2/14/2024

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued D. Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Equity, and Other Financial Statement Items Cash and Investments
Cash and investment balances of each of the City’s funds, except for funds required to be held by outside fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures, are pooled in order to take advantage of an effective investment strategy. Income earned from pooled inve stments is allocated to each of the funds based on average pooled cash balances during the year. Deficit cash balances are cl assified as due to other funds and funded by the General Fund or related operating fund.
Statues authorize investments in obligations of the United States Treasury, agencies and instrumentalities, commercial paper, bakers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements, money market funds, and investment pools. Investments are primarily comprised of holdings in investment pools, certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, muni bonds, and mutual funds. Investments are stated at fair value.
Investment of debt proceeds held by bond trustees ar e governed by the provisions of the Agency’s debt agreement rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code.
For purposes of the Combined Statement of Cash Fl ows for the Proprietary fund types, cash and cash equivalents includes all pooled cash investments, no n-pooled restricted cash and restricted investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The City considers the investments held in LAIF, CSJVRMA, and CalTRUST to be de mand deposit accounts where funds may be withdrawn and deposited at any time without prior notice or penalty.
Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of le nding/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as interfund receiv ables/interfund payables (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or advances to/from other funds (the noncurrent portion) of interfund loans. All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as interfund receivables/ interfund payables. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and the busi ness-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal balances.
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financ ial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are no t available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. All trad e and tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts and estimated refunds due.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued D. Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Equity, and Other Financial Statement Items, Continued Property Taxes
Secured property taxes are levied during September of each year for the fiscal year beginning with the preceding July 1 and ending the following June 30. Th ey become a lien on real property on January 1 preceding the fiscal year for which taxes are levied. The Kern County Assessor establishes the value of the property on January 1. Taxes are payable in two in stallments on November 1 and February 1 and are delinquent if not paid by December 10 and April 10, re spectively. In 1978, a state constitutional amendment (Proposition 13) provided that the tax rate be limited to 1% of market value, levied only by the County and shared with all other jurisdiction s. Such limitation on the rate ma y only be increased through voter approval. The County collects property taxes and distribu tes them to taxing jurisdictions on the basis of the taxing jurisdiction’s assessed valuations and on the tax rate for voter-approved debt.
Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors applicable to future a ccounting periods are report ed as prepaid items using the consumption method of accounting. Prepaid items do not reflect current appropriable resources and, thus, an equivalent portion of fund balance is reported as nonspendable in governments funds.
Capital Assets and Depreciation
Capital assets, which include proper ty, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, traffic signals, drainage systems and similar items), are report ed in the applicable governmental or business type activities column in the government-wide financial st atements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial cost of more than $5,000 ($50,000 for infrastructure) and an estimated life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do no t add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Property, plant and equipment of the primary governme nt as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 40
Improvements other than buildings 20
Machinery and Equipment 5 - 8
Infrastructure 20 - 75

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued D. Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Equity, and Other Financial Statement Items, Continued Compensated Absences
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation, comp time, and sick pay benefits. Accumulated sick leave is available for illness or personal use but not paid out to employees.
Vacation and comp time pay liabilities are calculated at full value based on the employee’s current rate of pay. All compensated absence pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
Pensions
The City implemented GASB Statements No. 68 “Acco unting and Financial Reporting for Pensions – an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27” and No. 71 “Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date – an amendment to GASB Statement No. 68”.
In government-wide and proprietary financial statements, retirement plans (pensions) are required to be recognized and disclosed using the accrual basis of accounting, regardless of the amount recognized as pension expenditures on the governmental fund st atements, which use the modified accrual basis of accounting.
In general, the City recognizes a ne t pension liability that represents the City’s proportionate share of the excess of the total pension liability ov er the fiduciary net position of th e pension reflected in the actuarial reports provided by CalPERS. The net pension liability is measured as of the City’s prior fiscal year-end.
Changes in the net pension liability are recorded in the period incurred as pension expense or as deferred inflows of resources or deferred outflows of resour ces depending on the nature of the change. The change in net pension liability that are recorded as deferred inflows of resources or deferred outflows of resources (that arise from changes in actuarial assumptions or other inputs and differences between expected or actual experience) are amortized st raight-line over the average expect ed remaining service lives of all members that are provided with bene fits as of the beginning of the measurement period and are recorded as a component of pension expense.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows or resources relating to pension and pension expense, information about the fidu ciary net position of the City’s pension plan with CalPERS and additions to/deductions from the plan’s fi duciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For th is purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value.Projected ea rnings on pension investments are recognized as a component of pension expense. Differences between proj ected and actual investment earnings are reported as deferred inflows of resources or deferred outflo ws of resources and amortized as a component of pension expense on a closed basis over a five-year period. 60 Draft 2/14/2024

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued D. Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Equity, and Other Financial Statement Items, Continued Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type acti vities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Initial-issue bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amor tized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. The difference between the reacquisition price of refunding bonds and the net carrying amount of refunded debt (deferred amount on refunding) is amortized over the shorter of the lives of the refunding debt or remaining life of the re funded debt. Bonds payables are reported net of the unamortized portion of applicable premium, discount or deferred amou nt on refunding. Amortization of bond premiums or discounts, and deferred amounts on refunding are included in interest expense. Bond issuance costs, except for prepaid bond insurance are expenses in th e year of issuance. Prepaid bond insurance is deferred and amortized over the life of the bond.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums, discounts and issuance costs during the period issued. The face amou nt of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received are reported as other financ ing sources, while discounts are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 63, “Financial Repo rting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position,” and GASB Statement No. 65, “Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities,” the City recognizes deferred outflows and inflows of resources.
In addition to assets, the Statement of Financial Position will someti mes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. A deferred outflow of resources is defined as a consumption of net assets that applies to a future reporting period and so will not be recognized as an expense or expenditure until then.
In addition to liabilities, the Stat ement of Financial Position will some times report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. A deferred inflows of reso urces is defined as an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future reporting period and so will not be recognized as revenue until then. 61 Draft 2/14/2024

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued D. Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Equity, and Other Financial Statement Items, Continued Net Position
The government-wide and business-type activities fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is categorized as follows:
Net Investment In Capital Assets – This category groups all capital assets, including infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciati on and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or impr ovement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
Restricted Net Position – This category presents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other go vernments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enablin g legislation. The government-wide statement of net position reports $13,025,283 of restricted net position, of which $11,289,459 is restricted externally by grantors, creditors, or laws or regulations of other governments and $1,735,824 is restricted by enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position – This category represents net position of the City, not restricted for any project or other purpose.
When both restricted and unrestricted net position are av ailable, it is the City’s policy to use restricted net position first, and then unrestricted net position as they are needed.
Fund Balance – Government Funds
Fund balances of the governmental funds are presented in the financial st atements based on classifications that comprise a hierarchy that is based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the respective governmental funds can be spent.
Fund balances are classified as follows:
Nonspendable – Amounts that cannot be spent either because they are not in a spendable form or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted – Amounts restricted by external sources (credi tors, laws of other governments, etc.) or by constitutional provision or enabling legislation.
Committed – Amounts that are obligated to a specific purpose which are internally imposed by the government through formal action (Ordinances and Reso lutions) at the highest level of decision making authority (City Council). These commitments can only be overturned by a like action.
Assigned – Amounts that are intended to be used for sp ecific purposes that are considered neither restricted nor committed. Undesignated excess Fund Balances may be assigned by the City Council, City Manager, or Finance Director for specific purposes through the budget process or agenda items. The assigned designation may be reversed by the City Council at any public meeting. 62 Draft 2/14/2024

Unassigned – Residual positive fund balances within th e General Fund, which have not been classified within the other above mentioned categories. Unassi gned Fund Balances may also include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures ex ceed amounts restricted, committed, or assigned for those specific purposes.
When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which all restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to apply in the following order, except for instances wherein an ordinance specifies the fund balance: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned.
The City does not have a formal minimum fund balance requirement.
Appropriated Budget and Budgetary Control
The City Council is required to ad opt an annual budget resolution by Ju ly 1 of each fiscal year for the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Pr ojects funds. The budgets are presented for reporting purposes on a budgetary basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The City of Wasco Public Financing Authority does not adopt a budget for its general fund.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, func tion, and department. The City Manager may make transfers of appropriations within a department. Trans fers of appropriations between departments requires the approval of the council. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the department level. Unexpended or unencumbered appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year . Encumbered appropriations are reappropriated in the ensuing year’s budget.
The City Council adopts budgets for the Enterprise. Ho wever, all Proprietary fund types are accounted for on a cost of service (net income), or “capital maintenance” measurement focus. As a result, budget comparisons are impractical. Additionally, the City is not legally mandated to report the results of operations for these Proprietary fund types on a budget comparison basis; therefore, budgetary data related to these funds has not been presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contin gent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT AC COUNTING POLICIES, Continued D. Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Equity, and Other Financial Statement Items, Continued Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensati on plan created in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. Th e deferred compensation is not availa ble to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.
The laws governing deferred compensati on plan assets require plan assets to be held in a Trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their benefici aries. The assets, all property and rights purchased with such amounts and all income attributable to such amounts, are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and the beneficiaries. The plan is administered by independent plan administrators through administrative service agreements and henc e they have been excluded from these financial statements.
In the year 2021, The City has evaluated the requiremen ts of GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities and GASB Statement No. 97, Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensati on Plans and determined that plan didn’t meet the criteria to be reported as a fiduciary activity, as required by the above Statem ents. Moreover, the plan is classified as other employee benefit plan for financial reporting purposes per GASB 97 requirements.

2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS, Continued
Cash and investments on June 30, 2023 consist of the following:
A. Deposits:
The carrying amount of the City’s cash deposit was $4, 736,056 on June 30, 2023. Balance before reconciling amounts were a positive amount of $6,236,386 on June 30, 2023. The City has waived collateral requirements for cash deposits, which are fully insu red up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The remaining amount was collateralized with securities pledged by the pledging financial Institution as permitted by the California Government Code.
The California Government Code requires that a financia l institution secure deposit made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undi vided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the tota l amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure public agency deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposi ts. As of June 30, 2023, all of the City’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits were he ld in fully collateralized accounts, as permitted by the California Government Code.
Under Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a bank or savings and loan association with an Agent of Depository has the effect of perfecting the security interest in the name of the local governmental agency.

B. Investment Valuation
The City categorizes the fair value measurements of its investments based on the hierarchy established by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Th e fair value hierarchy, which has three levels, is based on the valuation inputs used to measure an asse t’s fair value: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. All the City’s investments are valued using Level 1 inputs based on quoted market prices. The City had the following investments on June 30, 2023:
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the over sight of the Treasurer of the State of California.
The City’s investments with LAIF on June 30, 2023, include a portion of the pool funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. These investments include the following:
Structured Notes – are debt securities (other than asse t-backed securities) whose cash flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturi ty) depend upon one or more indices and/or have embedded forwards or options.
Asset-Backed Securities – the bulk of which are mo rtgage-backed securities, en title their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) or credit card receivables.
As of June 30, 2023, the City had $46,784,705 invested in LAIF, which had invested 2.78% of the pool investment funds in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities as compared to 1.88% in the previous year. The LAIF fair value factor of 0.984828 was used to calculate the fair value of the investments in LAIF.

B. Investment Valuation, Continued
The City is a member of CSJVRMA for the purp ose of pooling insurance coverage. The CSJVRMA maintains an investment pool which is available to its members. The City invested cash in this pool which is highly liquid. Deposits can be converted to cash within 24 hours without loss of interest. Included in the pool’s investment portfolio are securities that are wi thin the statutory limits im posed by government code.
The pool’s and the City’s exposure to credit, market, or legal risk is not available. The fair value of the City’s position in the pool is the same as the value of th e pool shares. CSJVRMA is regulated by the California Government Code.
CalTRUST is a Joint Powers Authority created by public agencies in 2005 to provide a convenient method for public agencies to pool their asse ts for investment purposes. It is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of experienced local agency treasurers and invest ment officers. The Board sets overall policies for the program and selects and supervises the activities of the investment manager and other agents. Any California public agency that is au thorized to join a Joint Powers Aut hority can participate in CalTRUST.
The specific sections of the California Government Code that govern participation in CalTRUST are Sections 6500 and 6509.7, which offers four account options – Government Fund, Money Market Fund, Short-Term Fund and Medium-Term Fund with varying interest rates and terms of length of deposit and withdrawals.
C. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely a ffect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the ma turity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways t hat the City's interest rate risk is mitigated 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 maturi ng or coming close to matu rity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
The sensitivity of the fair values of the City's invest ments (including investments held by bond trustees) to market rate fluctuations is provided by the followi ng table that shows the di stribution of the City's investments by maturity as of June 30, 2023:

D. Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fu lfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The actual ratings as of June 30, 2023, were as follows:
Concentration of credit risk – The City is required to disclose any investment in any one issuer that represents 5% or more of total investments. Invest ments issued or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and investments in mutual funds, external investment pools, and other pooled investments are excluded from this requirem ent. As such, the City has no concentrat ion of credit risk that exceeds 5% as June 30, 2023.
Custodial credit risk – For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, the City will not be able to reco ver the value of its investme nts or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securi ties. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government’s indirect investment in securities through the use of mutu al funds or government investment pools (such as LAIF).

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions . The total pension liability for the June 30, 2022 measurement period was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020, rolled forward to June 30, 2021 using standard update procedures. The total pension liability for th e measurement date June 30, 2022 were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
*The mortality table used was developed based on Ca lPERS-specific data. The rates incorporate General Mortality to capture ongoing morta lity improvement using 80% of Scale MP 2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details, please refer to the 2 021 experience study report that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Changes in Assumption . There were no changes in assumptions in fiscal year 2023. In fiscal year 2022 the discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%.

Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90 percent. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. The tests revealed the assets would not run out. Therefore, the current
6.90 percent discount rate is appropriate, and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not deemed necessary. The long term expected discount rate of 6. 90 percent will be applied to all plans in the Public Employees' Retirement Fund (PERF). The cash flows used in the testing were developed assuming that both members and employers will make their required contri butions on time and as scheduled in all future years. The stress test results are presented in a deta iled report called "GASB Crossover Testing Report” that can be obtained at CalPERS website under the GASB 68 section.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension pl an investments was determined using a building block method in which expected future real rates of retu rn (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 re turns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were ca lculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to acco unt for assumed administrati ve expenses of 10 Basis points.
The table on the next page reflects long-term expected re al rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. These rates of return are net of administrative expenses. 78 Draft 2/14/2024

Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate . The following presents the net pension liability calculated using a discount rate of 6.90%, as well as what the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage-point lower (5.90%) or 1 percentage-point higher (7.90%) than the current rate:
Plan Fiduciary Net Position. Detailed information about the Plan’s fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued CalPERS financial report. The plan fi duciary net position may differ from the plan assets reported in the actuarial valuation report due to several reasons. First, for the accounting valuations, CalPERS must keep items such as deficiency reserv es, fiduciary self-insurance and OPEB expense included in fiduciary net position. These amou nts are excluded for rate setting purposes in the funding actuarial valuation.
Payable to the Pension Plan. On June 30, 2023, the City reported a payable of $0 for outstanding amount of contributions to the pension plan required for the year ended June 30, 2023.

11. CONDUIT DEBT OBLIGATIONS
In addition to the Long-Term Liabilit ies discussed in Note 7, Long-Term Liabilities have been issued in the name of the Wasco Public Financing Authority. Neither the City, nor the Authority, is obligated in any manner for the repayment of these obligations. The Authori ty acts as an agent to property owners for the collection and repayment of Special Assessment Debt.
These bonds were issued for the purpose of enabling the Authority to acquire qualified obligations and were issued under the authority of the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985. The purchased obligations are generally repaid by a special assessment against real estate and were used to finance the construction of necessary infrastructure, including but not limited to curbs, gutters, sidewalks, waterlines, and sanitary sewer facilities. The special assessment obligations serve as security for the bonds issued by the Authority. The bonds payable and special assessments outstanding are detailed as follows:
The "Remaining Collections" represents the sum of th e remaining principal and interest for each active parcel after 2022/23 debt service has been billed.

In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited 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 of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed as a result of new construction activity or at the time it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the property is reassessed based upon the added value of the construction or at the purchase price (market value) or economic value 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.

1. In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds.
4. Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the City/Agency preparing the statistical section information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft.
Beginning in 2013-14, the Total Direct Rate no longer includes revenues generated form former redevelopent tax rate areas. Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations are assumed to have been resolved during 2012-13. For the purposes of this report, residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City/Agency in the same proportions as general fund revenue.
3. City's Share of 1% Levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the City. The ERAF portion of the City's Levy has been subtracted where known.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Wasco
Wasco, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Measure X of the City of Wasco, California (City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s Measure X’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in al l material respects, the respective financial position of Measure X of the City as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position, for the year then ended in accordanc e with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, these financial statements present only Measure X and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2023, or the changes in its financial position for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing st andards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to fi nancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Resp onsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be inde pendent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statement City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is re quired to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Measure X of the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
