Goal# 4 - Evaluate Performance and Make Adjustments
i. Monitor, Measure, and Evaluate Performance
A. Monitor, Measure, and Evaluate Program Performance
• The City quarterly evaluate the performance of the programs and services it provides. The City functions, programs, and activities will also be periodically reviewed to determine whether they are accomplishing intended program goals and making efficient use of resources.
• Performance measures, including efficiency and effectiveness measures, are to be presented in basic budget materials, including the operating budget document, and be available to stakeholders. • Performance measures should be reported using actual data, where possible.
• At least some of these measures should document progress toward achievement of previously developed goals and objectives. • More formal reviews and documentation of those reviews should be carried out as part of the overall planning, decision-making, and budget process.
B. Monitor, Measure, and Evaluate Budgetary Performance • At a minimum, the City will, on a quarterly basis, evaluate its financial performance relative to the adopted budget. Regular monitoring of budgetary performance provides an early warning of potential problems and gives
decision makers time to consider actions that may be needed if major deviations in budget-to-actual results become evident. It is also an essential input in demonstrating accountability.
• Budget-to-actual or budget-to-projected actual comparisons of revenues, expenditures, cash flow, and fund balance willbe reviewed quarterly during the budget period. Staffing levels are also monitored. • Comparisons for at least the current year will be included in the budget document and be generally available to stakeholders during discussionsrelated
to budget preparation and adoption.
• Expenditures shall be limited to the amount budgeted. Expenditures shall be continuously monitored and projected to the end of the year.
If the projected expenditures exceed the budget, appropriate remedies shall be implemented immediately.
C. Monitor, Measure, and Evaluate Financial Conditions
• The City will monitor and evaluate its financial condition at least quarterly. The financial health of the City is critical to its ability to meet
• the needs of stakeholders. Financial condition should be evaluated to identify potential problems and any changes that may be needed to improve performance over both the short and long terms. • Financial indicator measures often are developed to monitor financial condition and achievement of explicitly set financialgoals. • Indicatorsto monitor factorsthat affect financial performance are also reported.
• A report on financial condition will be periodically prepared and updated.
• The report may be a separate document or incorporated into other relevant documents, including the budget document.
D. Monitor, Measure, and Evaluate External Factors
• The City is to constantly monitor and evaluate external factors that may affect budget and financial performance and achievement of goals atleast quarterly. Factors outside the City's control, such as the national or regional economy, demographic changes, statutory changes, legislation, mandates, and weather, may affect achievement of stated goals. Monitoring these factors helps the City to evaluate and respond to the effect of these external influences on goals, programs, and financial plans.
• External factors that are likely to be important in achieving goals are to be identified and monitored regularly.
• The results of this analysis will be factored into the assessment of programand financial performance and considered in adjusting these programs.
• Trends and significant issues may be described in reports to stakeholders discussing program, budget, and financial performance. • The assessment of external factors is to be reported, at least in summary form, and available to stakeholders.
E. Monitor, Measure, and Evaluate Capital Improvement Program Implementation
• The City will monitor, measure, and evaluate capital improvement program implementation at least quarterly. Monitoring the status of capital projects helps to ensure that projects progress as planned, problems (such as delays in key milestones and cost overruns) are identified early enough to take corrective action, funds are available when needed, and legal requirements are met.
• Reports on capital project implementation will be prepared for decision makers and otherstakeholders.
• Summary information is to be considered for projects that are progressing as planned.
• Project milestones, such as dates for completion of such tasks as planning, land acquisition, engineering and design, and construction,
should be identified and progress in meeting these milestones should be reported atleast annually, and as available.
• The City will monitor quality compliance and financial performance. ii. Make Adjustments asNeeded
A. Adjust the Budget
• The budget may be adjusted during the budget period should unforeseen events require changes to the original budget plan. The budget isa plan based on a set of assumptions that may not always match actual experiences during the execution phase. The City should watch for significant deviations from expectations and make timely adjustments so that the plan is consistent with revised expectations. • The City has procedures in place to determine when deviations from the budget plan merit adjustments to the budget.
• Budget adjustments, whether to programs or to revenues and expenditures,are to be made as appropriate in a timely manner.7 • Any changes to the budget are to be reported.
• The timing and way thisis done depends on the stakeholder group and the level of materiality of the changes.
B. Adjust Policies, Plans, Programs, and Management Strategies • The City may adjust its policies, plans, programs, and management strategies during the budget period, as appropriate. Changing conditions or programs and services that are not producing the desired results or efficiently utilizing resources may require adjustmentsforthe City to continue tomeetthe needs of stakeholders and to meet its own goals.
• The City's management team will evaluate their monthly budget to actual report for review, decision making, and implementation of changes to policies, plans, programs, and management strategies during the budgetperiod.
• Adjustments are based on findings obtained from monitoring and assessing program and financial results, stakeholder input, and external circumstances.
• Regular briefings to management and elected officials on the contents of the reports permit timely adjustments as needed to the plan or program activities.
7 Budget adjustments may be administrative or legislative depending on the adjustment needed and on statutory requirements such as the legal level of control of the budget appropriations.
City Manager may make adjustment within the fund across departments as long as the overall appropriation is not changed.
C. Adjust Broad Goals, if Appropriate
• The City will modify or change its broad goals if conditions change sufficiently that these goals are no longer appropriate. Goals may need to be adjusted in response to new information about program results, stakeholder needs, and external circumstances in order to be more relevant for the community or more practically attainable. • The City department heads meet to evaluate performance or changes in the annual budget plan to ensure that goals are reviewed during thebudget period
and adjusted when appropriate.
• Adjustments are based, in part, on findings obtained from monitoring and assessing program and financial results, stakeholder input, and external circumstances.
• Opportunities and challenges facing the City are also to be considered.
City of West Covina
Debt Management Policy
Adopted – May 19, 2020
ATTACHMENT NO. 2
CITY OF WEST COVINA
DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
Section 1 – Introduction
The purpose of this Debt Management Policy (Policy) is to establish guidelines for the issuance and management of debt for the City of West Covina and all affiliated city entities (collectively, the “City”). While the City prefers to finance projects on a pay-as-you-go basis, in the event debt is necessary, this Policy confirms the commitment of the Council, management, staff, advisors and other decision makers to adhere to sound financial management practices, including full and timely repayment of borrowing, and achieving the lowest possible cost of capital within prudent risk parameters.
Debt Issuance Priorities:
1. Achieve the lowest cost of capital while maintaining compliance with state and federal laws and regulations
2. Maintain a prudent level of financial risk and maintain the City’s sound financial position
3. Preserve future financial flexibility
4. Ensure that all debt is structured to maximize the benefit to both current and future taxpayers, ratepayers, and constituents of the City
5. Maintain full and complete financial disclosure and reporting
6. Obtain and maintain the highest practical credit ratings consistent with maximizing the benefit to both current and future taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents of the City.
7. Maintain good relations with all investors in City debt
8. Ensure that the City’s debt is consistent with the City’s planning goals and objectives and capital improvement program or budget, as applicable
This policy shall govern the issuance and management of all debt and lease financing funded from the capital markets (including private placement and bank loans), including the selection and management of related financial services and products and investment of bond and lease proceeds. While adherence to this policy is required in applicable circumstances, it is recognized that changes in the capital markets, agency programs and other unforeseen circumstances may from time to time produce situations that are not covered by this policy and will require modifications or exceptions to achieve policy goals. In these cases, management flexibility is appropriate, provided specific authorization from the City Manager and City Council is obtained.
Section 2 – Responsibilities
The City’s debt program for all City funds shall be operated in conformance with applicable federal, state, and other legal requirements, including the West Covina Municipal Code.
Responsibility for managing the coordinating of all activities related to the structure, issuance and administration of all long and short-term debt obligations shall rest with the Finance Director.
No debt obligations shall be presented to the City Council for their authorization without the joint assessment and recommendation of the City Manager, Finance Director and the City Attorney. Departments planning debtfinanced capital programs or equipment acquisitions shall work closely with the City Manager, Finance Director and City Attorney to provide information and otherwise facilitate the issuance and on-going administration of debt.
The Finance Director shall have the authority to periodically select service providers as necessary to meet legal requirements and minimize debt costs. Such services may include financial advisory, underwriting, trustee, verification agent, escrow agent, arbitrage consulting, special tax consulting, bond and disclosure counsel, and other consultants as needed. To achieve an appropriate balance between service and cost, the Finance Director is authorized to select such service providers through sole source selection or a competitive process using a Request for Proposals.
The Finance Director shall be responsible for maintaining good communications with rating agencies, investors and other debt related service providers about the City’s financial condition and will follow a policy of full disclosure.
The Finance Director shall conduct an annual review of the Policy and bring forward to the City Council any amendments deemed necessary and appropriate.
Section 3 – Debt Considerations
The City will evaluate the need for debt financing a project compared to a pay-as-you-go financing methodology.
The City prefers to fund projects on a pay-as-you-go basis.
A. Factors favoring a pay-as-you-go methodology include:
a. Current projected revenues and fund balances available are sufficient to fund the project b. Long term total costs are lower due to the avoidance of interest expense c. Existing debt capacity is insufficient to absorb the additional debt without adverse impact to credit ratings
d. Market conditions are unfavorable or present difficulties in marketing B. Factors favoring debt financing include:
a. Current and projected revenues available for debt service are sufficient and reliable so that financing can be marketed with investment grade credit ratings b. Market conditions present favorable interest rates and demand for the City financings c. A project is mandated by state or federal requirements, and current resources are insufficient or unavailable to fully fund the project
d. The project is immediately required to meet or relieve capacity needs or emergency conditions and current resources are insufficient or unavailable
e. The savings from the project are sufficient to pay for the debt service costs The City will review debt limits in conjunction with any proposed financing. It is the City’s goal to limit debt service costs in the General Fund to no more than twenty-five (25%) percent of revenues, including transfers.
Payments on bonds that are tied to a specified revenue stream other than General Fund resources (e.g. enterprise revenue bonds, tax allocation bonds, and land secured bonds) are not subject to the twenty-five (25%) percent limit. The debt limit will exclude pension obligation bonds and other refunding bonds. Each proposed financing will be individually assessed by the Finance Director and subject to the approval policies contained herein.
Section 4 – Debt Term
The City Council recognizes that any new debt obligation will have an impact on the long-term affordability of all outstanding debt and any future planned debt, as well as budgetary impacts associated with the maintenance and operating costs of debt financed facilities.
A. Term of Debt – Debt will be structured for the shortest period possible, consistent with a fair allocation of costs to current and future beneficiaries or users. The weighted average maturity of the debt (or the portion of the debt allocated to the project) shall not exceed the useful life of the project.
B. Debt Repayment – Typically, the City desires level debt service payments over the term of the debt.
However, the cost of capital, financial risk, current economic conditions, future financial flexibility, credit ratings and available cash flow will be evaluated to determine the most appropriate method of debt amortizations for each debt issue. Notwithstanding the above, back loading of debt service will be evaluated as the circumstances dictate. Back loading occurs when debt service payments are lower in the initial years of a debt term and higher toward the later years of a debt term.
Section 5 – Debt Issuance
The City has the capacity to issue long and short-term debt and to refund any outstanding debt. The following section details the purposes of debt issuance and the method of determining the type of sale for such debt.
A. Long-term Debt – Long-term debt financings are appropriate when the project to be financed is necessary to provide basic services and long-term debt may be used to finance the acquisition or improvement of land, infrastructure, facilities or equipment for which it is appropriate to spread the costs of such over more than one budget year. Long-term debt may be used to fund capitalized interest, cost of issuance, required reserves and any other financing related costs that may be legally capitalized.
Long-term debt shall not be used to fund City operating costs.
B. Short-term Debt – Short-term debt will be considered as an interim source of funding in anticipation of long-term debt. Short-term debt may be issued for any purpose for which long-term debt may be issued, including capitalized interest and financing related costs. Short-term debt is also appropriate to address legitimate short-term cash flow requirements during a given fiscal year to fund the operating costs of the City to provide necessary public services. The City will not engage in short-term borrowing solely for the purpose of generating investment income.
C. Financings on Behalf of Other Entities - The City may also find it beneficial to issue debt on behalf of other governmental agencies or private third parties to benefit the public purposes of the City. In such cases, the City shall take reasonable steps to confirm the financial feasibility of the project to be financed and the financial solvency of any borrower and that the issuance of such debt is consistent with the policies set forth herein.
D. Refunding – Refunding opportunities will be identified by periodic reviews of outstanding debt obligations. Refunding will be considered when there is a net economic benefit from the refunding of a least three (3) percent on a net present value basis. Non-economic refunding may be undertaken to achieve City objectives relating to changes in covenants, call provisions, operational flexibility, tax status, issuer, or other non-economic factors related to the debt.
E. Method of Sale – The City shall have the flexibility to determine which method of sale is appropriate for each debt issuance in light of market interest rates and City objectives. Determination of the appropriate method of sale will rest collectively with the City Manager, Finance Director, and City Attorney. Potential methods of sale include:
a. A competitive bidding process through which interested underwriters submit proposals to purchase an issue of bonds and the award is based on, among other factors, the lowest offered true interest cost.
b. A negotiated sale process through which a selected underwriter, or team of underwriters, negotiate the terms of an issue and sell bonds in the municipal market. Negotiated sales are often used where there are unusual conditions or unique considerations related to the bond sale. A negotiated sale is subject to approval by the City to ensure that interest costs are in accordance with comparable market interest rates.
c. A private (or direct) placement sale typically occurs when the financing can or must be structured for a single or limited number of purchasers or where the terms of the private placement are more beneficial to the City than either a negotiated or competitive sale.
F. Pooled Financing – The City may also consider use of pooled financing as a method of accessing the capital markets. Use of pooled financing will be evaluated collectively by the City Manager, Finance Director, and City Attorney.
Section 6 - Debt Structure
A. Credit Ratings – The City seeks to obtain and maintain the highest possible credit rating when issuing debt. The City will seek credit ratings from at least one major credit rating agency on all debt, as appropriate. Ratings from multiple rating agencies may be sought for a single debt issue based upon the market conditions at the time of the issuance.
B. Fixed Rate and Variable Rate Debt – The City prefers to issue fixed rate debt. Variable rate debt may be used, if market conditions warrant at the time of issuance. It is acknowledged that variable rate debt passes an unknown obligation onto future budget cycles.
C. Call Provisions – The timing for when bonds are callable varies and is determined at the time of pricing such bonds. The City’s preferred structure is to negotiate for optional redemption at par in order to maintain flexibility in the future, but a final decision will be made on a case by case basis after evaluation of the marketability of the City’s bonds.
D. Credit Enhancements – The City may use credit enhancements (letters of credit, bond insurance, surety bonds, etc.) when such credit enhancements prove to be cost effective. The City will consider the use of credit enhancements on a case-by-case basis.
E. Reserve Funds – A debt service reserve fund provides an added measure of security to bond holders and may improve the credit rating and thus lower the costs of borrowing. Reserve funds may be necessary for specific transactions, or the City may choose to create one if it is determined to be cost effective.
When cost beneficial, the City may consider the use of surety bonds, lines of credit, or similar instruments to satisfy the reserve requirements.
Section 7 – Private Activity Use Limitations on Tax Exempt Debt IRS Tax Code Section 141 sets forth private activity tests for the purpose of limiting the volume of tax-exempt bonds that finance activities of persons other than state and local governmental entities. These tests serve to identify arrangements that actually or reasonably expect to transfer the benefits of tax-exempt financing to non- governmental persons. The law includes tests of private use, security and payment as well as private loan financing tests. The law also provides for various safe harbors and nuances to the application of these limits. The City will manage a process to ensure private use compliance and will consult with bond counsel to obtain federal tax advice regarding whether anticipated project use will be consistent with the restrictions on private business use of the bond financed property and, if not, whether any “remedial action” permitted under §141 of the code may be taken as means of enabling that use arrangement to be put into effect without adversely affecting the tax-exempt status of the bonds.
With respect to tax-exempt bonds, the City pledges in each bond issuance that it will monitor and control the receipt, investment, expenditure, and use of all bond proceeds and will take or omit to take any actions as necessary to cause interest on tax-exempt bonds to remain excludable from the gross income of bond holders.
City staff will ensure appropriate lease and building use policies to maintain compliance with this pledge.
Section 8 – Interfund Borrowings
The City may borrow internally from other funds with temporary cash surpluses to meet short term cash needs in lieu of issuing debt. Interfund borrowing extending for more than one year will be brought to Council for approval.
Section 9 – Debt Administration
The Finance Director shall be responsible for administering the City’s debt management program. To that end, this position shall:
A. Ensure compliance with all disclosure and reporting requirements outlined in the City’s Disclosure Policy B. Periodically review outstanding debt for refunding opportunities C. Maintain positive working relationships with rating agencies and other financial professionals D. Review and recommend appropriate structures for all new debt issuances E. Ensure compliance with the Investment Policy and bond documents regarding investing bond proceeds Section 10 – Arbitrage Compliance
Arbitrage is defined as the profit earned when tax-exempt bond proceeds are invested in higher yielding securities than the interest rates of the bonds issued. The City shall comply with its investment policy and California and federal laws.
To ensure compliance with federal arbitrage laws, the City will monitor ongoing activities, including remittance of any required arbitrage rebate. If necessary, the City will utilize a consultant for arbitrage rebate calculations and preparation of the required Internal Revenue Service forms. Arbitrage rebate calculations on outstanding bond issues will be performed periodically, but never longer than the 5th year after a bond issuance.
Section 11 – Disclosure Policy
The Finance Director will be the disclosure coordinator for the City and will have the responsibility of complying with the City’s Disclosure Policy document, as adopted by City Council.

City of West Covina
Pension Funding Policy
Adopted – May 19, 2020
ATTACHMENT NO. 4
2 | Page
I. PURPOSE
The City’s Pension Funding Policy documents the method the City will use to determine its actuarially determined contributions to fund the long-term cost of benefits to the plan participants and annuitants. The policy also:
• Provides guidance in making annual budget decisions;
• Demonstrates prudent financial management practices;
• Create sustainable and affordable budgets for pensions; • Reassures bond rating agencies; and
• Shows employees and the public how pensions will be funded.
II. BACKGROUND
The City provides defined benefit retirement plan through the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). CalPERS is a multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pension plan.
All full-time and certain part-time City employees are eligible to participate in CalPERS.
CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members and their beneficiaries. CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute.
The financial objective of a defined benefit pension plan is to fund the long-term cost of benefits provided to the plan participants. In order to assure that the plan is financially sustainable, the plan should accumulate adequate resources in a systematic and disciplined manner over the active service life of benefitting employees. This funding policy outlines the method the City will utilize to determine its actuarially determined contributions to fund the long-term cost of benefits to the plan participants and annuitants.
Pension Funding: A Guide for Elected Officials, issued by eleven national groups including the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the International City/County Management Association, and the Government Finance Officers Association, established the following five general policy objectives for a pension funding policy:
• Actuarially Determined Contributions. A pension funding plan should be based upon an actuarially determined contribution (ADC) that incorporates both the cost of benefits in the current year and the amortization of the plan’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability.
3 | Page
• Funding Discipline. A commitment to make timely, actuarially determined contributions to the retirement system is needed to ensure that sufficient assets are available for all current and future retirees.
• Intergenerational equity. Annual contributions should be reasonably related to the expected and actual cost of each year of service so that the cost of employee benefits is paid by the generation of taxpayers who receives services from those employees.
• Contributions as a stable percentage of payroll. Contributions should be managed so that employer costs remain consistent as a percentage of payroll over time.
• Accountability and transparency. Clear reporting of pension funding should include an assessment of whether, how, and when the plan sponsor will ensure sufficient assets are available for all current and future retirees.
III. POLICY
A. Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC). CalPERS actuaries will determine the City’s ADC to CalPERS based on annual actuarial valuations. The ADC will include the normal cost for current service and amortization of any under-funded amount. The normal cost will be calculated using the entry age normal cost method using economic and non-economic assumptions approved by the CalPERS Board of Administration.
The City will review the CalPERS annual actuarial valuations to validate the completeness and accuracy of the member census data and the reasonableness of the actuarial assumptions.
B. Additional Discretionary Payment (ADP) Contribution. The City will consider making ADP contributions with one-time General Fund resources, with the objectives of increasing the plan’s funded status, by reducing the unfunded actuarially accrued liability, and reducing ongoing pension costs.
C. Pension Obligations Bonds. The City will consider pension obligation bonds if such bonds have expected savings using borrowing costs and CalPERS’ discount rate.
The City and its advisors will discuss and consider the risks of any potential pension obligation bonds.
4 | Page
Any pension obligation bonds, or refundings of pension obligation bonds, must be voted upon by the City Council.
D. Contributions as a Manageable Budget Expense. The City will always make its required annual contributions to CalPERS. Contributions should be stable and a manageable portion of revenue. The City may:
• Make additional discretionary contributions directly to CalPERS. • Consider establishing a pension stabilization trust, subject to approval by the Council.
• Issue, call, or refund pension obligation bonds.
E. Transparency and Reporting. Funding of the City’s pension plans should be transparent to vested parties including plan participants, annuitants, the City Council, and residents. In order to achieve this transparency, the following information shall be available:
• Copies of the annual actuarial valuations for the City’s CalPERS plans shall be made available to the City Council.
• The City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report shall be published on its website. This report includes information on the City’s annual contributions to the pension systems and their funded status.
• The City’s annual operating budget shall include the City’s contributions to CalPERS.
F. Review of Funding Policy. Funding a defined benefit pension plan requires a long-term horizon. As such, the City will review this policy at least every two years.

CITY OF WEST COVINA
THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT
Fiscal Year 2025-26
ATTACHMENT NO. 1
The City has completed the third quarter of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26. This report summarizes the overall
financial performance of the City for the period of July 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026, but it is not meant
to be inclusive of all finance and accounting
transactions. While the focus of the report is the
General Fund, summary financial information is also
provided for the Enterprise Fund and Special Revenue
Funds. The information presented is unaudited. This
report is intended to provide City Council and the
public with an overview of the City’s general fiscal
condition.
The revenue and expenditures per the Budget to YearTo-Date (YTD) Actual comparisons include any appropriations made as of March 31, 2026. The
information presented reports revenues as they are
received and expenditures when paid. Revenues and
expenditures are only accrued at year end to account
for such activity in the correct fiscal year.
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund (GF) is the general operating fund
for the City. It provides the resources to sustain the
day-to-day activities and services to the community.
All nine departments receive support, either directly
or indirectly, from the General Fund.
Chart 1: GF Budget vs. YTD Actual
The General Fund original budget for FY 2025-26 was
$97.8 million in revenue, $97.8 million in expenditures and net transfers, for a total net change of fund
balance of $81,657. With only 75% of the year
complete, General Fund revenues are 55.4% of
budget, and expenditures are 67.0%. Total revenues
are $54.3 million, and expenditures are $67.6 million
leaving a total revenue less expenditures negative
$13.3 million.
GENERAL FUND REVENUE
The City’s two major General Fund revenue sources
are Property Tax and Sales Tax which make up 65% of
the General Fund revenues combined. Table 1 below
summarizes revenue to-date.
Table 1:GF Revenue - Budget vs. YTD Actuals
PROPERTY TAX
Included in this line item are Property Taxes, Property In-Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF), and residual
payments from the dissolution of the former
redevelopment agency. The first major property tax
distribution to the City for the fiscal year is received in December.
SALES TAX
As of March 31, 2026, the allocation received
represents approximately 58.4% of the total sales tax
allocation for the year. This is typical for this time of year as there is a two-month lag in sales tax
distributions. The City will continue to receive sales tax allocations with the final quarter allocation distributed by the California State Department of Taxes and Fees
Administration (CDTFA) in August 2026.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
City of West Covina | Office of the City Manager
DATE: August 18, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Milan Mrakich, City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT (ACFR) AND OTHER RELATED REPORTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the following financial reports and letters for the year ended June 30, 2025:
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report;
Government Auditing Standards Letter;
Audit Communication Letter; and
Community Financial Report.
BACKGROUND:
Annually, the Finance Department prepares and publishes the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (“ACFR”) following the completion of an independent and certified audit. The June 30, 2025 ACFR is included as Attachment No. 1. This document is an extensive report summarizing the financial activities of the City that occurred from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
The ACFR is prepared in compliance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) standards. Pursuant to GASB guidelines, the City’s ACFR is divided into three sections: Introductory, Financial, and Statistical. The Introductory section contains a Letter of Transmittal. This letter includes a brief overview of the City, the economic outlook, operational controls and major initiatives.
The Financial section contains the independent auditors’ opinion letter, Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), and the Basic Financial Statements. The audit firm of Van Lant & Fankhanel, LLP has issued an unmodified (‘clean’) opinion on the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025. This means that their examination, testing and audit procedures allowed them to conclude that the financial statements present fairly the financial position of the City. This is the best opinion the City can receive from its auditors.
The MD&A provides a narrative of how the financial report is presented and key highlights of some of the changes in financial position. The MD&A provides tables showing comparative information from the year ended June 30, 2024, to the year ended June 30, 2025.
The final section of the ACFR is the Statistical section. This section presents data useful in analyzing the City’s financial and operational history for comparative purposes. Some of the statistics tracked the City’s financial and operational history for comparative purposes. Some of the statistics tracked include financial trends, revenue capacity, and debt capacity, which are useful for evaluating the City’s financial stability. Additional statistics include operating indicators.
DISCUSSION:
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The ACFR represents the City of West Covina’s financial position at June 30, 2025 and includes financial statements for all of its component units.
Government Auditing Standards Letter
The Government Auditing Standards Letter (Attachment No. 2) notes any identified deficiencies or weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that could lead to material misstatements in the City’s financial statements as well as any other compliance findings.
Deficiency in internal control - exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis.
Material weakness - is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Significant deficiency - is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
The auditors did not identify deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that they considered to be weaknesses.
Audit Communication Letter
The Audit Communication Letter (Attachment No. 3) provides certain information related to the audit of the City’s financial records, including the following:
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices – The letter notes that City management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The letter indicates that there have been no significant changes in accounting policies or their application during the fiscal year. The letter also notes that there were no transactions entered into by the City during Fiscal Year 2024-25 for which there was a lack of authoritative guidance, and that all significant transactions were recorded in the proper accounting periods.
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit – The letter communicates the auditors encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements – The letter communicates the auditors’ responsibility to note all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit. The auditors noted no such misstatements that were material, either individually or in aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with Management – The auditors are required to communicate any disagreements with management related to an accounting, reporting or auditing matter, whether resolved or not, in the Audit Communication Letter. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
Community Financial Report
The Community Financial Report (Attachment No. 4) is an extract of information from the ACFR specifically designed to be readily accessible and easily understandable to the general public and other interested parties without a background in public finance.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney’s Office reviewed the staff report.
Prepared by: Karen Ogawa, Finance Director
Additional Approval: Roxanne E. Lerma, Assistant City Manager Fiscal Impact
FISCAL IMPACT:
Financial highlights of the fiscal year are noted in the Financial section of the ACFR and include the following:
City Wide
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s total net position (assets plus deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and less deferred inflows of resources) was $22.7 million.
The City’s total net position increased $9.0 million from the prior year. This is due to various factors.
There is an increase in assets of $11.7 million. The increase is mostly due to cash; there was $4.4 million more in investment income when compared to the prior fiscal year. Additionally, Due from Other Agencies increased by $4.7 million compared to prior year.
In liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, there was a significant decrease due to OPEB related items and OPEB and net pension liabilities which account for a $9.4 million decrease. Additionally, the lease revenue bonds liabilities decreased by $11.4 million compared to prior year. Overall, there were positive factors to increase the net position of approximately 9.0 million.
The City’s total governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $155.0 million, an increase of $4.7 million in comparison with the prior fiscal year of $150.1 million. The increase is comprised of changes in fund balance, primarily in the General Fund for $2.3 million, non-major Sewer Maintenance fund for $2.9 million, and non-major Measure R fund for $0.6 million. The fund balances increased for the aforementioned funds due to lower than budgeted expenditures in the funds. The City anticipates to use the funds in the upcoming years. Of the $155.0 million fund balance, $3.2 million, or 2.1%, of this total is non-spendable (not available for new spending). The restricted fund balance categories of $123.4 million, or 79.7%, is spendable for restricted purposes.
The assigned fund balance of $8.0 million, or 5.2%, represents amounts that are intended to be used for specific purposes, but are not formally restricted or committed. The unassigned fund balance category of $20.2 million, or 13.1%, represents the City’s fund balance reserves.
General Fund
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $21.0 million, while total fund balance was $24.1 million. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund operating expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 28.0% of total General Fund operating expenditures, while total fund balance represents
32.2% of that same amount. The non-spendable portion of fund balance in the amount of $3.1 million mainly consists of Land Held for Resale in the amount of $3.0 million.
General Fund, Fund Balance Policy
Per the City's current Fund Balance Policy, the city shall maintain a minimum unassigned fund balance of at least 18% of the General Fund operating expenditures. As of June 30, 2025, the General Fund unassigned fund balance is $21.0 million, which is in excess of the 18% operating expenditures of $74.9 million.

Members of the City Council, the City Manager, and the Citizens of the City of West Covina:
Enclosed is the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of West Covina (City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report.
To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed to both protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City’s financial statements have been audited by Van Lant & Fankhanel, LLP, a firm of certified public accountants. The auditors have issued an unmodified opinion on these financial statements. The Independent Auditor’s Report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
The 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. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.
Profile of the Government
The City of West Covina is located in the San Gabriel Valley, 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and 15 miles north of Orange County. Incorporated as a general law city in 1923, the City's 16 square miles flourished with walnut groves and orange groves for many decades. The post-World War II building boom rapidly transformed the City, which experienced a significant population increase between 1950 and 1960, from less than 5,000 to more than 50,000 citizens. Subsequent to this rapid population increase, the City has continued to grow at a steady pace to a population of over 109,000. In recent years there has been a slight decline with a current population in excess of 105,000.
From early in its history, the City of West Covina has been noted as a city of beautiful homes. Through its General Plan, the City Council strives to maintain the City's high-quality residential base and living environment. The City's identity is defined by carefully designed entry point elements, landmark areas, and open space areas.
Known as the headquarters of the East San Gabriel Valley, the City strives to maintain a prosperous business and commercial climate. Despite the current challenging financial and economic environment, West Covina derives significant economic stability from the City's three major commercial districts: Plaza West Covina, Eastland Center, 11 and The Lakes. The City’s location and access to major freeways makes West Covina close to many visitor attractions and an ideal business and commercial center. The City has over 32,000 housing units and offers the amenities of a big city location with a high standard of living for its community.
The City provides a full range of services to its citizens, including police, fire and emergency medical; construction and maintenance of streets, traffic signalization and other infrastructure; planning and building safety; and social, recreational and cultural activities and events. The City offers sixteen parks, four community centers, a sports complex, and a county operated library.
Under the Council-Manager form of government, the five City Council members are elected by districts to overlapping four-year terms. The City Council selects a Mayor from one of its members each November to serve a one-year term. The City Council is responsible for, among other things, passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring both the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, and for appointing the heads of the various departments.
The City is financially accountable for the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of West Covina, a financing authority, and a housing authority, which are combined within the City’s financial statements. Additional information regarding all three of these legally separate entities can be found in the notes to the financial statements.
The annual budget serves as a foundation for the City's financial planning and control. The City Council holds public hearings and adopts an annual budget for all funds. The budget appropriations are prepared by fund, function, and department. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within departments to assure adequate and proper standards of service. Budgetary revisions, including supplemental appropriations which increase total appropriations in individual funds must be approved by the City Council.
Economic Outlook and Major Objectives
In December 2020, the California State Auditor identified several risks in the City’s financial condition, including a major unfunded pension liability and general fund expenditures that have exceeded revenues. Since then, the City has grown its general fund reserves from an unassigned fund balance of $12.6 million in in fiscal year 2019–20 to $21.0 million as of the end of fiscal year 2024–25. Additionally, the city no longer operates with a structural deficit.
Instead, the city’s general fund revenue exceeds its operating expenditures.
While progress has been made, in December 2024, the State Auditor retained its high-risk designation for the City, citing that the City’s approach to addressing its reserve level increases its risk for future financial instability – specifically regarding its pension debt. The City must consider establishing and maintaining a general fund reserve target at a level above its current policy to better mitigate this risk.
The City continues to work to secure the financial future while safeguarding the delivery of great public services.
This requires stewardship and a willingness to consider all alternatives in service provision. Service levels are directly related to the income from which public expenses are met. The City has attempted to attain fiscal sustainability into the future by finding economies and efficiencies in its operations.
Rising costs of materials and services continue to be of grave concern. Through sound financial policies and procedures, the City has attempted to manage rising costs and dwindling revenues efficiently and effectively. This is not to say that significant challenges do not face the City going forward. The infrastructure needs of the City have been long deferred.
Short-term and Long-term Financial Planning
The City has made some progress toward the goal of attaining fiscal sustainability and positioned the City for longterm financial success. Annually, the City adopts a budget covering operating revenues and expenditures, labor usage, capital expenditures, and other sources and uses of funds. For financial planning purposes, the City conducts a comprehensive citywide financial forecast. The latest forecast shows expenditures are increasing at a faster pace than revenues.

18 Independent Auditor’s Report
The Honorable City Council
City of West Covina, California
Report on the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of West Covina (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, 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 financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of West Covina, as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cashflows 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 and the standards applicable to financial 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 Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management 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, 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 error or fraud.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
19 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our 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 generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and other required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
20 Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining statements and budgetary schedules, as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining statements, as listed in the table of contents, 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 included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated June 25, 2026, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

21 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following discussion and analysis of the financial performance of the City of West Covina (the City) provides an overview of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with the transmittal letter and financial statements identified in the accompanying table of contents.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s total net position (assets plus deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and less deferred inflows of resources) was $22.7 million. The City’s total net position increased $9.0 million from the prior year. This is due to various factors. There is an increase in assets of $10.7 million. The increase is mostly due to cash and investments of $4.5 million compared to the prior fiscal year. In liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, there was a significant decrease due to OPEB related inflows, which accounts for a $3.5 million decrease in deferred inflows of resources.
Additionally, the lease revenue bond liabilities decreased by $6.2 million. Overall, there were positive factors to increase the net position. The net pension liability and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources was the source of an increase to the City’s liabilities of $12.3 million; the net pension liability increased by $4.2 million, offset with a $16.5 million decrease to deferred outflows of resources relating to pension related items.
The City’s total governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $154.8 million, an increase of $4.7 million in comparison with the prior fiscal year of $150.1 million.
The increase is comprised of changes in fund balance, primarily in the General Fund for $2.3 million and non-major Sewer Maintenance fund for $2.9 million. The fund balances increased for the aforementioned funds due to lower than budgeted expenditures in the funds. The City anticipates to use the funds in the upcoming years. Of the $184.3 million fund balance, $3.2 million, or 2.1%, of this total is non-spendable (not available for new spending). The restricted fund balance categories of $123.4 million, or 79.7%, is spendable for restricted purposes. The assigned fund balance of $8.0 million, or 5.2%, represents amounts that are intended to be used for specific purposes, but are not formally restricted or committed. The unassigned fund balance category of $20.2 million, or 13.1%, represents the City’s fund balance reserves.
The City’s business-type computer service enterprise activity (West Covina Service Group) had an operating gain for fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 of $67,433, compared with a $10,259 operating gain in FY 2023-24. The total net position for the computer service enterprise fund as of June 30, 2025 is $319,525. The net position in the prior year was $252,092.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The annual report consists of four parts – management’s discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, required supplementary information, and an optional section that presents combining statements for non-major governmental funds and internal service funds. The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the City:
The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both longterm and short-term information about the City’s overall financial status. 22 The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the City government, reporting the City’s operations in more detail than the governmentwide statements. The governmental funds statements tell how general government services like public safety were financed in the short-term as well as what remains for future spending. Proprietary funds statements offer short- and long-term financial information about the activities that are operated like a business, such as the West Covina Service Group, the City’s computer service enterprise.
Fiduciary fund statements provide information about the fiduciary relationships – like the custodial funds of the City – in which the City acts solely as an agent or trustee for the benefit of others, to whom the resources in question belong.
The financial statements also include notes that provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Reporting the City as a Whole
The accompanying government-wide financial statements include two statements that present financial data for the City as a whole. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole and about its activities. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid.
These two statements report the City’s net position and changes in them. The City’s net position is one way to measure the City’s financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases and decreases in the City’s net position are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. You will need to consider other non-financial factors, however, such as changes in the City’s property tax or sales tax base and the condition of the City’s roads, to assess the overall health of the City.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are divided into two kinds of activities:
Governmental activities – Most of the City’s basic services such as public safety, streets and roads, economic development and parks and recreation, are reported here. Sales taxes, property taxes, state subventions, and other revenues finance most of these activities.
Business-type activities – The City charges a fee to customers to help it cover all or most of the cost of the services accounted for in these funds. These activities include the City’s computer service enterprise operation.
23 The government-wide financial statements include the West Covina Housing Authority, the West Covina Public Financing Authority, the Parking Authority of the City of West Covina and the West Covina Community Services Foundation (component units), along with the City of West Covina (the primary government). Although legally separate, these component units are important because the City is financially accountable for them.
The activities of the Successor Agency of the former redevelopment agency can be found in the Fiduciary Fund Section of the Financial Statements in the Private Purpose Trust Fund.
Reporting the City’s Most Significant Funds
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City’s most significant funds – not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law or by bond covenants. However, City Council establishes many other funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting administrative responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, or other money (like grants received). The City’s two kinds of funds – governmental and proprietary – use different accounting approaches. Governmental funds – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using the modified accrual accounting method, which measures cash and all other current financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps you determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. We describe the relationship or differences between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds in reconciliations on the pages following the fund financial statements in this report.
Proprietary funds – When the City charges customers for the services it provides, these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. In fact, the City’s enterprise funds are the same as the businesstype activities we report in the government-wide statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows for proprietary funds. We use internal service funds (the other component of proprietary funds) to report activities that provide supplies and services for the City’s other programs and activities.
Reporting the City’s Fiduciary Responsibilities
The City is an agent for certain assets held for, and under the control of, other organizations and individuals. All of the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in separate fiduciary funds. These activities are not included in the government-wide financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.
24 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Statement of Net Position
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. As of June 30, 2025, net position for the City was a balance of $22.7 million. Compared to the prior year, the net position of the City increased by $13.7 million.
The City’s net position of $22.7 million is made up of three components: Net investment in Capital Assets, Restricted Net Position and Unrestricted Net Position. The largest portion of the City’s net position, $152.2 million, reflects its net investment in capital assets (e.g., infrastructure, land, buildings, machinery, and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to the community. As such, these assets are not available for spending. In addition, $113.5 million of the City’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used.
The remaining balance of unrestricted net position is a deficit of $243.3 million due to the unfunded pension liability (GASB 68) for which the City has issued 2020 Lease Revenue Bonds; the balance of the bonds is $187.8 million.
The table below reflects the Statement of Net Position for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, with the comparative data for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024:

Governmental Activities Business-Type Activities Total
25 Changes in Net Position
The City’s total revenues of $134.7 million for governmental activities are $8.9 million more than the expenses of $125.8 million. Much of the increase is due to a $2.2 million increase in charges for services and $1.8 million increase in property taxes.
A summary of the government-wide statement of activities for the year ended June 30, 2025, with the comparative data for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, is as follows:
Governmental Activities
Some of the more significant changes in the revenues and expenses of the City’s governmental activities presented above are as follows:
Charges for services increased by $2.2 million, primarily due to building permits. The prior year had higher than anticipated construction activity. Property taxes, the City’s largest revenue source, increased $1.8 million, or 5.1%, primarily due to an increase in the assessed valuation on all classes of property, driven by local real estate market values.
Sales tax, the City’s second largest revenue source, decreased $1.1 million, or 4.1%, primarily due to slow down in the autos and transportation sector. Other general revenues decreased by $1.2 million, primarily due to decreased revenue from other agencies.

Changes in Net Position
Table 2
26 There was an overall decrease in expenses of $2.9 million. This is primarily due to a decrease in general government activities and public works contracts which is offset by the increase in public safety activities.
Revenues by Source – Governmental Activities
The most significant revenues of the governmental activities are property taxes ($36.9 million), sales tax ($25.5 million) and other taxes ($10.1 million). Program revenues are $57.6 million of the total revenues of the governmental activities, which include charges for services ($19.6 million), operating contributions and grants ($22.5 million), and capital grants and contributions ($14.7 million).

27 Expenses by Function – Governmental Activities
The City’s expenses cover a range of services whose expenses were as follows: Public safety ($74.8 million), public works ($25.3 million), community services ($10.1 million), general government ($5.8 million), interest expense ($8.5 million) and community development ($1.8 million). These expenses include pension related items, claims and capital outlays which are now reflected in the City-wide assets and liabilities.
28 Business-Type Activities
The business-type activity is the West Covina Service Group, which provides dispatch and records management software and services to other police departments.
The business-type activity’s expenses decreased by $57,170, or 8.4%, from the prior fiscal year.
Charges for services and other revenues remained at approximately $693,000 in FY 2024-25.
The changes from the prior year resulted in a slight increase of net position of $57,174. The West Covina Service Group has experienced less sales over the years.
29 MAJOR FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to provide proper financial management of the City’s resources and to demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Major Governmental Funds
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $21.0 million, while total fund balance was $24.1 million. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 28.0% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents
32.2% of that same amount. The non-spendable portion of fund balance in the amount of $3.1 million mainly consists of Land Held for Resale in the amount of $3.0 million.
Total revenues, exclusive of fund transfers in, increased $3.2 million while total operating expenditures, exclusive of fund transfers out, increased $5.9 million. The reasons for significant changes in the revenues and expenditures of the City’s General Fund from the prior year are as follows:
Charges for Services were up $2.2 million from prior year. Ambulance Services increase by $1.3 million due to higher volume of emergency medical services. Property Taxes was up $1.8 million from the prior year, which is primarily due to increased property assessments compared to prior year.
Sales Tax was down $1.8 million from prior year due to a slowdown in economy. Public Safety expenditures increased by $5.1 million compared to prior year. Increase primarily due to increase in personnel costs.
The West Covina Housing Authority Fund provides for low- and moderate-income activities that were previously provided by the redevelopment agency. The Authority has outstanding loans receivable of $12.0 million. The fund holds $19.6 million in restricted fund balance.
The State Gas Tax Fund accounts for tax collected on fuel to fund maintenance and repair of the States’ highways and roads. The fund finished the fiscal year with a total fund balance of $6.8 million. There were $0.33 million more expenses than revenues for the fund, additionally there was a $0.6 million transfer in from the General Fund.
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund accounts for federal monies received for COVID19 related expenses. The City has received $19.6 million in funding and spent $17.5 million as of June 30, 2025. The fund has $2.1 million in unearned revenue. 30 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
There were numerous budget amendments throughout the fiscal year to adjust budget to actuals, but the net effect to the General Fund budget was $1.1 million. Budgeted revenues were amended by $3.0 million for projected increase in Sales and Use Taxes and Mutual Aid Cost Reimbursement. Budgeted expenditures were increased $2.0 million primarily due to public safety salaries and benefits.
CAPITAL ASSETS
The major additions to capital assets during the year ended June 30, 2025 were as follows:
Construction in progress had a net increase of $8.4 million. There were several completed projects including:
Residential Street Rehabilitation (FY 2023-24) ($4.5 million) Street Sweeping Signs and Equipment ($1.6 million)
Pedestrian and Vehicle Safety Improvement (FY 2022-23)($0.64 million) Additional information on the City’s capital assets can be found in Note 6 of this report.
LONG-TERM DEBT
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had debt outstanding of $367.7 million. Of this amount, $219.5 million represents outstanding bonds and $148.2 million represents other debt such as compensated absences payable, claims and judgments payable, and the net pension and OPEB liabilities. All of the outstanding bonds are lease revenue bonds secured by leases from the General Fund.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of this statement. 43 Net change in fund balances-total governmental funds $ 4,715,450 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of these assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.
Capital Expenditures 9,794,615
Depreciation Expense (8,603,280)

Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. 1,374,392 The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, government funds report the effect of premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of Activities. The effect of these differences are as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2025
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the City of West Covina, California (the City) have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The City’s significant accounting policies are described below.
A) Financial Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated on February 23, 1923 under the general laws of the State of California. The accompanying financial statements present the City and its component units; entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The City is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the City appoints a voting majority of that organization's governing body and the City is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for that organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. The City is also considered to be financially accountable for an organization if that organization is fiscally dependent (i.e., it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval from the City). In certain cases, other organizations are included as component units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that their exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
Because each component unit meets the above-mentioned criteria, included within the financial reporting entity of the City are the City of West Covina Housing Authority, the West Covina Public Financing Authority, the Parking Authority of the City of West Covina, and the West Covina Community Services Foundation, Inc.
A brief description of each component unit follows:
West Covina Housing Authority
The West Covina Housing Authority (the Housing Authority) was formed on January 17, 2012 and is responsible for the administration of providing affordable housing in the City. The Housing Authority is administered by a Board which consists of members of the City Council, and management of the City has operational responsibility for the Housing Authority. The transactions of the Housing Authority are reported as a special revenue fund and the Housing Authority is reported as a blended component unit of the City.
West Covina Public Financing Authority
The West Covina Public Financing Authority (the Authority) was created by a joint powers agreement between the City and the Community Development Commission of the City on June 1, 1990. The purpose of the Authority is to provide, through the issuance of debt, financing necessary for various capital improvements.
The Authority is administered by the Board who are the members of the City Council. The Authority's sole source of income is installment sale, loan and lease payments received from the City and former Community Development Commission (the Commission) which are used to meet the debt service requirements on debt issues. The Authority is blended into the debt service fund of the City.
The Parking Authority of the City of West Covina
The Parking Authority of the City of West Covina (the Parking Authority) was formed under the provision of the government code of the State of California for the purpose of financing and constructing parking facilities for lease to the City. The City Council acts as the governing body of the Parking Authority and is able to impose its will on the Parking Authority. It is a component unit of the City, and the financial statements of the Parking Authority are included within the financial statements of the City using the blended method. The Parking Authority has been inactive since 1999.
51 City of West Covina
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2025
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued The West Covina Community Services Foundation, Inc.
The West Covina Community Services Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation) was established on July 26, 2005 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation. It was organized and operates exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation is administered by the Board of Directors who are the members of the City Council. The Foundation is blended into the special revenue funds of the City.
Since the City Council serves as the governing board for these component units, all of the City's component units are considered to be blended component units. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are in substance, part of the City's operations and so data from these units are reported with the interfund data of the primary government. Except for the Housing Authority, these component units do not issue component unit financial statements.
Separate financial statements for the Housing Authority can be obtained from the City of West Covina, City Hall.
B) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
Government-wide Financial Statements
Fund financial statements
Notes to financial statements
Government-wide Financial Statements:
Government-wide financial statements display information about the reporting government as a whole except for its fiduciary activities. These statements include separate columns for the governmental and businesstype activities of the primary government (including its blended component units). Eliminations have been made in the Statement of Activities so that certain allocated expenses are recorded only once (by the function to which they were allocated). However, general government expenses have not been allocated as indirect expenses to the various functions of the City. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation.
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources measurement focus, all (both current and long-term) economic resources and obligations of the reporting government are reported in the governmentwide financial statements. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets and liabilities resulting from nonexchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2025
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued 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 and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function. Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net cost of each program. Taxes and other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the government-wide financial statements rather than as an other financing source. Amounts paid to reduce longterm indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a reduction of the related liability rather than as an expenditure.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar programs are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by providers have been met.
Fund Financial Statements
The underlying 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. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate.
Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
Fund financial statements for the primary government's governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented after the government-wide financial statements. These statements display information about the major funds individually and other governmental funds in the aggregate for governmental funds. Fiduciary statements represent assets held by the City in a custodial capacity for other individuals or organizations in the private purpose trust, pension trust, and custodial funds.
Governmental Funds
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the modified-accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available. Measurable means that the amounts can be estimated, or otherwise determined. Available means that the amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to be available to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period.
Revenue recognition is subject to the measurable and available criteria for the governmental funds in the fund financial statements. Significant revenues subject to the criteria include taxes, licenses and permits, and intergovernmental revenues. Exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period in which they are earned (i.e., the related goods or services are provided). Locally imposed derived tax revenues are recognized as revenues in the period in which the underlying exchange transaction upon which they are based takes place. Imposed non-exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period for which they were imposed. If the period of use is not specified, they are recognized as revenues when an enforceable legal claim to the revenues arises or when they are received, whichever occurs first. Government-mandated and voluntary non-exchange transactions are recognized as revenues when all applicable eligibility requirements have been met.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2025
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current financial resources measurement focus. This means that only current assets, deferred outflows of resources, current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on their balance sheets. The reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of "available spendable resources”. Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balance. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of "available spendable resources" during a period.
Revenues, expenditures, assets, and liabilities resulting from non-exchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Therefore, recognition of governmental fund type revenue represented by receivables is reported as deferred inflows of resources until they meet the “availability” criteria.
Sales taxes, property taxes, franchise taxes, revenue from other agencies, rental income, occupancy taxes and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period to the extent normally collected within the availability period. Other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available when cash is received by the government. The availability period for all revenues is 60 days.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as other financing sources rather than as a fund liability. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as fund expenditures rather than as a reduction of a fund liability.
Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds
The City's enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial statements, the proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the fund financial statements, proprietary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. This means that all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their statement of net position. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies, taxes, and investment earnings result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities. Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the enterprise fund financial statements rather than reported as an expenditure.
Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the enterprise fund financial statements rather than as another financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the enterprise fund are reported as a reduction of the related liability rather than as an expenditure.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2025
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued The City's fiduciary private purpose trust funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting. The private purpose trust fund accounts for the assets held by the City for the Successor Agency to the former Community Development Commission of the City. The City's fiduciary custodial fund accounts for assets held for the benefit of others, as applicable. Because these funds are not available for use by the City, fiduciary funds are not included in the governmental-wide statements.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Interfund services provided and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined and are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Fund Classifications
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. This fund is used to account for all financial resources of the City, except for those required to be accounted for in another fund The West Covina Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund is used to account for assets and related income received from the former Community Development Commission to be used for the administration of providing affordable housing in the City.
The Proposition A Special Revenue Fund accounts for the 0.5% sales tax collected in Los Angeles County which is used for transportation programs and projects.
The State Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund accounts for the City’s proportionate share of gas tax monies collected by the State of California and Proposition 1B monies which are used for street construction and maintenance.
The ARPA Special Revenue Fund accounts for the grant funds received from the American Rescue Plan Act.
The Citywide Debt Service Fund accounts for the payments of principal, interest, and related costs on the City long-term debt issues.
The City reports the following major proprietary fund:

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
The Internal Service Funds are used to account for vehicle and equipment maintenance and replacement, for the City's self-insurance programs, and for retirement health savings plans for qualified City employees.
Departments of the City are charged for the services provided or benefits received from these funds.
Fiduciary fund financial statements consist of a Statement of Fiduciary Net Position and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The City reports a private-purpose trust fund. Custodial funds, as applicable, are used to account for the assets held for distribution by the City as an agent for another entity for which the City has custodial responsibility and accounts for the flow of assets. Private-purpose trust funds account for resources of all other trust arrangements in which principal and income benefit individuals, private organizations, or other governments (i.e. unclaimed property/escheat property). Fiduciary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. The City reports the following fiduciary funds:
Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund – accounts for assets and liabilities transferred in fiscal year 2012 from the Redevelopment Agency of the City of West Covina to the Successor Agency Trust Fund.
C) Cash and Investments
Investments are reported in the accompanying balance sheet at fair value, except for certain certificates of deposit and investment contracts that are reported at cost because they are not transferable and they have terms that are not affected by changes in market interest rates.
Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation or sale of investments.
The City pools cash and investments of all funds, except for assets held by fiscal agents. Each fund’s share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as cash and investments. Investment income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds based on each fund’s average cash and investment balance.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates, and have an original maturity date of 3 months or less. Cash equivalents represent the proprietary funds’ share in the cash and investment pool of the City.
D) Inventory
Inventory is stated at average cost. Physical counts of inventory are taken on a cyclical basis during each fiscal year with perpetual records adjusted to actual at that time. The City uses the consumption method of accounting for inventory.

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued E) Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors for costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements using the consumption method.
F) Notes and Loans Receivable
The accompanying financial statements report certain loans receivable for loans made to private developers, private homeowners, and other parties. Where applicable, an allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded to reflect management’s best estimate of probable losses associated with nonrepayment.
G) Property Taxes
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1% of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool, and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas. Accordingly, the City accrues only those taxes which are received within 60 days after year end. The property tax calendar is as follows:
H) Claims and Judgements
The City records a liability for litigation, judgments, and claims when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability (including incurred but not reported) has been incurred prior to yearend and the probable amount of loss (net of any insurance coverage) can be reasonably estimated. This liability is recorded in the internal service fund that accounts for the City’s self-insurance activities.
I) Compensated Absences Payable
A liability is recorded for unused vacation and similar compensatory leave balances since the employees' entitlement to these balances are attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that virtually all of these balances will be liquidated by either paid time off or payments upon termination or retirement.
A liability is recorded for unused sick leave balances only to the extent that it is probable that the unused balances will result in termination payments. This is estimated by including in the liability the unused balances of employees currently entitled to receive termination payment, as well as those who are expected to become eligible to receive termination benefits as a result of continuing their employment with the City.
Other amounts of unused sick leave are excluded from the liability since their payment is contingent solely upon the occurrence of a future event (illness) which is outside the control of the City and the employee.

J) Capital Assets
Capital assets greater than $5,000 and infrastructure greater than $100,000 are capitalized and recorded at cost or at an estimated fair value of the assets at the time of acquisition where complete historical records do not exist. Contributed capital assets are valued at their acquisition value at the date of the contribution.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets include public domain infrastructure assets consisting of certain improvements other than buildings, including roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, medians, sewer and storm drains.
Depreciation has been provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets in the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements of the proprietary and the private-purpose trust funds. Depreciation starts the year following acquisition. For capital assets, depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. The lives used for depreciation purposes of each capital asset class generally are:
K) Interest Payable
In the Government-Wide Financial Statements, interest payable on long-term debt is recognized as the liability is incurred. In the Fund Financial Statements, proprietary fund types recognize the interest payable when the liability is incurred.
L) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The City has certain items that qualify for reporting in this category: deferred outflows relating to the City’s net pension and OPEB liabilities.
Infrastructure - pavement 25 years
Infrastructure - other 20 - 75 years
Buildings 20 - 50 years
Improvements other than buildings 20 - 50 years
Equipment and Vehicles 5 - 25 years

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City reports deferred inflows for certain items under the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Accordingly, unavailable revenue is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues related to taxes and grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. The City also reports deferred inflows relating to the net pension and OPEB liabilities.
M) Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) and Public Agency Retirement System plans (PARS) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS and PARS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results for pensions must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used for CalPERS:
Valuation Date (VD) June 30, 2023
Measurement Date (MD) June 30, 2024
Measurement Period (MP) July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
The following timeframes are used for PARS:
Valuation Date (VD) June 30, 2023
Measurement Date (MD) June 30, 2024
Measurement Period (MP) July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
N) Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used: June 30, 2023 Valuation Date; June 30, 2024 Measurement Date; and July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 Measurement Period.
O) Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position. 59 City of West Covina

1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued P) Fund Balance
Nonspendable Fund Balance: These include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, e.g., the principal of an endowment fund. Examples of “not in spendable form” include inventory, prepaid amounts, long-term notes and loans, property held for resale and other items not expected to be converted to cash. However, if the proceeds from the eventual sale or liquidation of the items would be considered restricted, committed or assigned (as defined further on) then these amounts would be included in the restricted, committed or assigned instead of the nonspendable classification. A debt service reserve fund held by a trustee is an example of fund balance in nonspendable form that is classified as restricted instead of nonspendable since the reserve is eventually liquidated to make the final debt service principal payment.
Restricted Fund Balance: Amounts that have externally enforceable limitations on use. The limitations on use can be imposed by creditors, grantors, or contributors as well as by constitutional provisions, enabling legislation, laws and government regulations.
Committed Fund Balance: Amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. The City Council is the highest level of decision-making authority for the City that can, by adoption of an ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation.
Assigned Fund Balance: Amounts intended to be used by the City for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The City Council (Council) has by resolution authorized the City Manager to assign fund balance. The Council may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. Additional formal action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an assignment.
Unassigned Fund Balance: These are either residual positive net resources of the General Fund in excess of what can properly be classified in one of the other four categories, or negative balances. For all funds other than the General Fund, amounts expended in excess of resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned, negative unassigned fund balance may be necessary to report.
Q) Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be reported at fair value. The fair value framework provides a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements), as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies including:

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended June 30, 2025
1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are inactive; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs reflect the City’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the City’s own data.
R) Leases
Lessor: The City is a lessor for noncancellable leases of land owned by the City. The City recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the government-wide and governmental fund financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts. The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease, and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.
S) 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 contingent 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.

The table below identifies the investment types that are generally authorized for investments held by bond trustee. The table also identifies certain provisions of these debt agreements that address interest rate risk and concentration of credit risk.
Investments Authorized by Pension Trust Agreements
Investments of pension trust fund contributions held by the trustee are governed by the trust agreements. The City selected an investment strategy allowed by the trust agreements with the objective of providing current income and moderated capital appreciation. The strategic ranges for the investment strategy selected by the City are as follows:
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater is the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter-term and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements and the actual rating as of year-end by Standard and Poor’s or Moody’s or Fitch for each investment type:
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. There was no investment in any one issuer (other than U.S. Government Agencies, Supranationals, Money Market Funds, and external investment pools) that represent 5% or more of total City investments.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. 12 Months 13 to 24 25 to 60

2) CASH AND INVESTMENTS – Continued
The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provisions for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. All the City’s deposits are either federally insured or collateralized as of June 30, 2024. Investments held by bond trustee are selected under the terms of the applicable trust agreement. The trustee acquires the investment and holds the investment on behalf of the reporting government.
Investment in County Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Los Angeles County Investment Pool (LACIP) that is regulated by the California Government Code and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors under the oversight of the Los Angeles County Treasurer-Tax Collector. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amount based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LACIP for the entire LACIP portfolio. The balance for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LACIP, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the Entity’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based on the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. Information regarding LAIF’s and the City’s exposure to risk (credit, market, or legal) is not currently available.
Fair Value of Investments
Investments (except those that may be reported at amortized cost) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Recurring fair value measurements, are those that Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements require or permit in the statement of net position at the end of each reporting period. Fair value measurements are categorized based on the valuation inputs used to measure an asset’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. None of the investments held at year-end are subject to the fair value hierarchy.

The Housing Authority also has housing preservation loans to qualified applicants using housing set-aside funds totaling $756,516. Principal and interest are deferred for ten years; after the tenth year loans bear interest at 5%.
Loans are repaid after the tenth year or when title to the property changes. The City has included 4% of the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Several housing improvement loans totaling $642,627 have been made to qualified applicants. The loans are secured by second trust deeds. The City has not included any of the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
In May 1997, the Commission loaned $4,270,000 to Lark Ellen Towers. The loan was transferred to the Housing Authority from the dissolved former Commission. The loan is secured by a deed of trust. The loan accrues interest at 3% per annum and requires annual payments equal to the maximum of $35,000 or 50% of net profits earned by the project. The outstanding principal as of June 30, 2025 was $4,241,110.
In April 1998, the Commission loaned $5,622,300 to Executive Lodge Apartments Limited Partnership (Promenade Apartments project). The loan was transferred to the Housing Authority from the dissolved former Commission. The loan is secured by a deed of trust. The loan was amended and restated on April 1, 2017, with a principal of $6,056,621 accruing interest at 2.82% compounded annually and requires annual payments equal to 50% of “Available Cash Flow.” The outstanding principal as of June 30, 2025 was $5,975,678.
In May 2002, the Commission loaned $4,360,000 to West Covina Senior Villas, LLC. The loan is secured by a deed of trust. The loan does not accrue interest. The loan requires annual payments of $141,667 through May 2032 that are forgiven by the City unless the borrower defaults on the agreement. The outstanding principal as of June 30, 2025 was $2,833,333. The loan is likely to be forgiven; therefore, the City has included the entire balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
In May 2009, the Commission entered into an agreement with West Covina Senior Villas II, L.P. to provide $8,600,000 for the acquisition of real property in the City and construction and maintenance of an approximately 65-unit apartment complex to be rented to low-income and very low-income senior citizens. The loan is secured by a deed of trust. The loan does not accrue interest and is forgiven so long as the borrower does not default on the loan. The outstanding principal as of June 30, 2025 was $8,513,885. The loan is likely to be forgiven; therefore, the City has included the entire balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The City has provided zero-interest housing loans totaling $3,442,529 using Community Development Block Grant funds.
Other notes consist of affordable housing loans of $400,000. The notes do not accrue interest and are forgiven unless the borrower sells or refinances the property. Additionally, the balance included a note of $208,196 for lowincome housing which accrues no interest and is forgivable if the owner maintains the low- and moderate-income housing status. The outstanding principal of these loans as of June 30, 2025 was $608,196. The loans are likely to be forgiven; therefore, the City has included the entire balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts. 5) LAND HELD FOR RESALE
Land held for resale is valued at the lower of cost or the sales price per contract with the developer. The land held for resale at June 30, 2025 was comprised of land to be used as open space or a municipal golf course in the amount of $3,007,802.

Adequacy of Protection
During the past three fiscal years, none of the above programs of protection experienced settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were also no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage in 2024-25.
Claims and Judgments
The City accounts for uninsured, material claims and judgments and associated legal and administrative costs when it is probable that the liability claim has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Included therein are claims incurred but not reported, which consists of (a) known loss events expected to be presented as claims later, (b) unknown loss events that are expected to become claims, and (c) expected future development on claims already reported. This is based upon historical actual results that have established a reliable pattern supplemented by specific information about current matters. Small dollar claims and judgments are recorded as expenditures when paid.
The claims and judgments liability reported in the Internal Service Self-Insurance Fund is based on the requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims and judgments be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Claims and judgments payable, including estimated claims for incurred but not reported claims, amounted to $23,370,654 as of June 30, 2025.
In the past three years, no claims for general liability or workers’ compensation have exceeded the City’s purchased insurance coverage.
Changes in the claims and judgments payable amounts for the past two fiscal years for the Self-Insurance Fund are as follows:

Contributions: Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Employer contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended. It is the responsibility of the employer to make necessary accounting adjustments to reflect the impact due to any Employer-Paid Member Contributions or situations where members are paying a portion of the employer contribution.
Net Pension Liability/(Asset)
The City’s net pension liability/(asset) for the Plans is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plans’ fiduciary net position. The net pension liability/(asset) of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2023, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability/(asset) is shown below.

Actuarial Assumptions: The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and Postretirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return - The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both shortterm and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:

Measurement date June 30, 2024
Actuarial cost method entry-age normal

Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for PERF C was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

A) General Information about the EPMC Replacement Supplemental Pension Plan Plan Description and Benefits Provided
Effective November 1, 2007, the City established an agent multiple-employer defined benefit plan to supplement the current CalPERS retirement benefits that is to be administered for the City by the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), a third-party administrator. The plan meets the requirements of a pension trust under California Government Code. Phase II Systems is the PARS Trust Administrator. PARS issues a publicly available financial report that may be obtained from the Public Agency Retirement Services, 4350 Von Karman Ave., Newport Beach, CA 92660.
The EPMC Replacement Plan was established to replace a long-standing benefit for city employees no longer allowed by CalPERS. The plan provides for a benefit in an amount equal to the member's years of service, times the member's final pay, times the CalPERS age factor, times .70% for miscellaneous employees (times .89% for safety employees). At the time of retirement, employees will make an election to receive either a lump sum payment or receive ongoing stipends over their lifetime.

Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions - The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Discount Rate
GASB 67 and 68 generally require that a blended discount rate be used to measure the Total Pension Liability (the Actuarial Accrued Liability calculated using the Individual Entry Age Normal Cost Method). The long-term expected return on plan investments may be used to discount liabilities to the extent that the plan’s Fiduciary Net Position (fair market value of assets) is projected to cover benefit payments and administrative expenses.
A 20-year high quality (AA/Aa or higher) municipal bond rate must be used for periods where the Fiduciary Net Position is not projected to cover benefit payments and administrative expenses. Determining the discount rate under GASB 67 and 68 will often require that the actuary performs complex projections of future benefit payments and asset values.

The following circumstances were included in the evaluation of sufficiency for the City:
Annual contributions of 0.7% of payroll (closed group basis) are assumed (beginning with 2015/16). Benefit payments are annually withdrawn from the Trust until assets are exhausted and then benefit payments made directly by the City.
All cash flows are assumed to occur on average halfway through the year. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 5.75%. The actuarial assumptions do not change.
GASB 67 and 68 specify that the projections regarding future solvency assume that plan assets earn the assumed rate of return and there are no future changes in the plan provisions or actuarial methods and assumptions, which means that the projections would not reflect any adverse future experience which might impact the plan’s funded position.
Based on these circumstances, it is the actuary’s opinion that a depletion date projection is not appropriate.
Therefore, the discount rate is based on the projected portion of the Total Pension Liability funded by the Fiduciary Net Position in each future year. For the funded portion, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (5.75%) was used. For the unfunded portion, the Bond Buyer 20-Bond Go Index as of the June 30, 2024, measurement date (3.93%) was used. The discount rate used (3.96%) represents the single equivalent rate of return, as described under GASB 68 (paragraph 31).
The best-estimate range for the long-term expected rate of return is determined by adding expected inflation to expected long-term real returns and reflecting expected volatility and correlation.
The table bellows reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class:
The plan’s fiduciary net position was not projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current retirees. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the single equivalent rate that results in the same actuarial present value as the long-term expected rate of return applied to benefit payments, to the extent that the plan’s fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit payments, and the municipal bond rate applied to benefit payments, to the extent that the plan’s fiduciary net position is not projected to be sufficient. The City chose the Bond Buyer General Obligation 20-Bond Index resulting in the use of a 3.96% discount rate (single equivalent rate of return) in calculating the pension liability.

Discount Rate
GASB 67 and 68 generally require that a blended discount rate be used to measure the Total Pension Liability (the Actuarial Accrued Liability calculated using the Individual Entry Age Normal Cost Method). The long-term expected return on plan investments may be used to discount liabilities to the extent that the plan’s Fiduciary Net Position (fair market value of assets) is projected to cover benefit payments and administrative expenses.
A 20-year high quality (AA/Aa or higher) municipal bond rate must be used for periods where the Fiduciary Net Position is not projected to cover benefit payments and administrative expenses. Determining the discount rate under GASB 67 and 68 will often require that the actuary perform complex projections of future benefit payments and asset values. GASB 67 (paragraph 43) and 68 (paragraph 29) do allow for alternative evaluations of projected solvency, if such evaluation can reliably be made. GASB does not contemplate a specific method for making an alternative evaluation of sufficiency; it is left to professional judgment.
The following circumstances justify an alternative evaluation of sufficiency for the City:
The City ceased contributions and withdrawals from the Trust. The City will pay benefits directly to retirees until the trust is sufficient, on an expected basis, to pay all remaining benefits. All cash flows are assumed to occur on average halfway through the year. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments is 5.75%. The actuarial assumptions do not change.
GASB 67 and 68 specify that the projections regarding future solvency assume that plan assets earn the assumed rate of return and there are no future changes in the plan provisions or actuarial methods and assumptions, which means that the projections would not reflect any adverse future experience which might impact the plan’s funded position.
Based on these circumstances, it is the actuary’s opinion that a depletion date projection is not appropriate.
Therefore, the discount rate is based on the projected portion of the Total Pension Liability funded by the Fiduciary Net Position in each future year. For the funded portion, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments (5.75%) was used. For the unfunded portion, the Bond Buyer 20-Bond Go Index as of the June 30, 2024, measurement date, (3.93%) was used. The discount rate used (3.94%) represents the single equivalent rate of return, as described under GASB 68 (paragraph 31).

Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the single equivalent rate that results in the same actuarial present value as the long-term expected rate of return applied to benefit payments, to the extent that the plan’s fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit payments, and the municipal bond rate applied to benefit payments, to the extent that the plan’s fiduciary net position is not projected to be sufficient. The City chose the Bond Buyer General Obligation 20-Bond Index resulting in the use of a 3.65% discount rate (single equivalent rate of return) in calculating the pension liability.
Changes in the Net Pension Liability
The changes in the net pension liability, with a measurement date of June 30, 2024, for the Plan are as follows:

15) DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLAN
During the 1991-1992 fiscal year, the City established the West Covina Part-Time Retirement Plan, a defined contribution retirement plan, for all non-benefited, part-time employees in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457, to conform to Section 3121(b)(7)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code added by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990. The plan is administered by Nationwide Retirement Solutions. The plan was established by the authority of the City Council who retains the authority to amend the plan.
A defined contribution pension plan provides pension benefits in return for services rendered, provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how contributions to the individual’s account are to be determined instead of specifying the amount of benefits the individual is to receive. Under a defined contribution pension plan, the benefits a participant will receive depend solely on the amount contributed to the participant’s account and the returns earned on investments of the contributions.
Part-time, non-benefited, non-persable employees of the City must participate in the plan. During 2012-13, 195 part-time employees participated in the plan. All contributions to the plan vest immediately. An employee who leaves the City is entitled to all contributions and earnings applied to the individual’s account through the date of separation, less legally required income tax withholding. Contribution levels into the deferred compensation plan were established by City Council resolution at 0% for the City and 7.5% for non-benefited, non-persable part-time employees.

OPEB Expense and Recognition of Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB The Plan Fiduciary Net Position was $0 at the June 30, 2024 measurement date, as the City is not prefunding with an OPEB trust. The City does not have assets accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria of GASB 75 to pay related benefits.
Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time. Amounts are first recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense. The net difference between projected and actual earnings on OPEB plan investments is amortized using the straight-line method over 5 years, while all other amounts are amortized over the expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) of plan participants, which was 5.1 years as of the 2019 valuation date.
OPEB Expense and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City recognized OPEB expense/(credit) of $1,319,582. The City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB from the following sources:

17) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A) In 1989, in order to assist in the expansion of the Fashion Plaza shopping center, the City enacted an ordinance to allow the Redevelopment Agency of the City of West Covina (the predecessor to the West Covina Community Development Commission) to receive the sales tax generated as a result of the expansion project. At the same time, the City enacted an ordinance providing a credit for sales tax payable by the developer in the amount equal to the sales tax due to the redevelopment agency. These sales tax ordinances and related agreements between the City and the Agency essentially transferred the sales tax increment due to the Fashion Plaza expansion project from the City to the Agency.
B) On July 25, 2005, the Board of Directors of the former West Covina Community Development Commission adopted Resolution No. 2005-50. By this resolution, the Board of Directors authorized the Commission to reimburse the City of West Covina over a period of 17 years for the sales tax revenue that had essentially been shifted from the City to the Agency. These budgeted interfund transfers between the primary government of the City of West Covina and the former Community Development Commission will be recorded in the fiscal year that they result in a flow of current financial resources, as required by the measurement focus prescribed for governmental funds. As a result of the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, the Department of Finance has deemed this agreement as an unenforceable obligation.
C) Outstanding construction commitments at year-end were approximately $1.3 million. 18) SUCCESSOR AGENCY DISCLOSURES
The assets and liabilities of the Commission’s former non-housing redevelopment activities were transferred to the City in its fiduciary capacity as the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of West Covina on February 1, 2012, as a result of the dissolution of California redevelopment agencies. These assets and liabilities and any activities related to them are reported in the City’s fiduciary private-purpose trust fund financial statements. Disclosures related to these assets and liabilities are as follows:
Due from the City of West Covina
As part of the dissolution process, AB1484 required the Successor Agency to have due diligence reviews of both the low and moderate-income housing funds and all other funds to be completed by October 15, 2012, and January 15, 2013, to compute the funds (cash) which were not needed by the Successor Agency to be retained to pay for existing enforceable obligations. The Successor Agency remitted $1,891,166 to the County Auditor-Controller (CAC) on December 19, 2012, for the low and moderate-income housing funds due diligence review.
The due diligence review for all other funds was finalized with the final letter of determination issued by the DOF on April 24, 2013. The DOF determined that the principal and interest payments made by the former Community Development Commission totaling $12,205,531 on various loans from the City of West Covina for the period January 1, 2011, to June 30, 2012, were on loans not made within the first two years of the formation of the former redevelopment agency. The DOF ordered the Successor Agency to remit $11,578,351 to the CAC within five days from the date of the letter. City management, in consultation with its legal counsel, did not agree with the DOF’s decision and filed a lawsuit to contest the decision. The City also did not remit the payments that were disallowed to the CAC. In December 2015, the City entered into a settlement agreement, which requires the City to repay the $11,578,351 over a period of 20 years. See additional details on the long-term payable in Note 8. As the City repays the Successor Agency, the Successor Agency will remit the amounts collected to the CAC.

Developer Agreement Payable
On June 26, 1989, the Commission entered into an agreement with a developer to share certain future tax revenues generated by the Community Facilities District. Since 1992, the developer's share of revenues totaled $55,372,039, the unpaid balance accrues interest at a rate of 10%. The Commission has made payments to the developer totaling $21,678,037. The balance outstanding at June 30, 2025 was $88,596,648. The Developer Advances are repaid by the Commission only from available funds in the Repayment Fund. The Repayment Fund is funded in any year the total of the Minimum Special, Tax and Agency Contributions exceeds the annual debt service on the Public Financing of the 1996 Special Tax Refunding Bonds. According to the Developer Agreement, the Agency Contributions terminate once the outstanding principal and accrued interest on these bonds are paid in full.
The bonds were paid in full on September 1, 2022. As of June 30, 2025, the Community Facilities District had a restricted cash balance of $6,514,513. The City has engaged a consulting firm to provide a closeout report for the District’s remaining funds to determine the appropriate disposition.

BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for governmental funds. The City Council approves each year’s budget submitted by the City Manager prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Public meetings are conducted prior to its adoption by the City Council. It is the City Council’s goal to adopt an annual balanced budget, a budget in which current revenues equal recurring expenditures.
After adoption of the final budget, the City Manager has authority to adjust the amounts appropriated within the funds and activities of a fund, provided, however, that the total appropriations for each fund may not exceed the amounts provided in the budget resolution. The City Manager is also authorized to approve continuing appropriations at year-end for capital improvement projects and other expenditures previously approved by the City Council. Budget modifications between funds and increases or decreases to a fund’s overall budget must be approved by the City Council.
Numerous properly authorized amendments are made during the fiscal year.
Budgetary control is enhanced by integrating the budget into the general ledger accounts. Encumbrance accounting (e.g. purchase orders) is employed by the City.

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

Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of Glendora. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident and, therefore, responsible for the debt, for each overlapping government.
(1) The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the County's taxable assessed value that is within the government's boundaries and dividing it by the County's total taxable assessed value. 209

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

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards City Council
City of West Covina
West Covina, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of West Covina (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated June 25, 2026. The City’s financial statements include a separate column for the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund in the non-major governmental funds combining financial statements.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
ATTACHMENT NO. 2
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. This included tests for compliance with provisions of Assembly Bill 2766 Chapter 1705 (44220 through 44247).
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the organization’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

City Council
City of West Covina
West Covina, CA
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of West Covina for the year ended June 30, 2025. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, and Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated July 28, 2025. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the fiscal year, except for the implementation of GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
Management’s estimate of the fair value of investments is based on information provided by financial institutions. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the fair value of investments in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
1 ATTACHMENT NO. 3
Management’s estimate of capital assets depreciation is based on historical estimates of each capitalized item’s useful life. We evaluated key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimated useful lives in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Management’s estimate of the net pension and net OPEB liabilities/(assets) are based on actuarial information provided by the California Public Employee Retirement System’s (CalPERS) actuarial office, and other sources. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these liabilities in determining that the estimated liabilities/(assets) are reasonable in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements were:
The disclosure of the fair value of investments in Note 2 to the financial statements represents amounts susceptible to market fluctuation.
The disclosure of accumulated depreciation in Note 6 to the financial statements is based on estimated useful lives which could differ from actual useful lives of each capitalized item.
The disclosures for the net OPEB and net pension liabilities/(assets) in the Notes to the financial statements are based on assumptions for discount rates, etc., which could differ from actual experience. The notes disclose the differences in these liabilities/(assets) if different assumptions are used in estimating these liabilities/(assets).
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. None of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
2 Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated June 25, 2026.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to management’s discussion and analysis and the schedules listed as required supplementary information in the table of contents, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information as listed in the table of contents, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory sections, which accompanies the financial statements but is not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
3 Restrictions on Use

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
City of West Covina | Office of the City Manager
DATE: August 18, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Milan Mrakich, City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF PALO ALTO NETWORKS CITY FIREWALL
AND ENDPOINT PROTECTION UPGRADE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize the City Manager to purchase the Palo Alto Networks, Inc. Firewall, Endpoint Protection, and Cloud Manager upgrade from CDW utilizing the NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement (Contract # AR3229), with an overall maximum compensation amount of $700,000; and
1. Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute any agreements and documents necessary to purchase the Palo Alto Networks, Inc. Firewall, Endpoint Protection, and Cloud Manager upgrade from CDW, in such form as approved by the City Attorney.
2. BACKGROUND:
The City’s network security infrastructure is critically dependent on network perimeter-edge Firewalls and Endpoint systems to protect against external threats and ensure data integrity.
The City’s current security network design uses Firewalls configured in a redundant high-availability setup, and provides strong Endpoint security features, ensuring continuous computer protection and operational network stability.
The City’s network security infrastructure firewalls were last upgraded in 2018, and the then-selected Palo Alto hardware is now end-of-life. These Palo Alto Firewall systems are network appliances that require regular patches, security updates, and vendor support, which is now unavailable. The core Palo Alto brand Firewall hardware currently installed at the City Hall and Police Department buildings need to be replaced and upgraded with new Endpoint Protection and Cloud Manager.
DISCUSSION:
Firewall and Endpoint Protection serves as the City's first line of defense against unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and data breaches. This Firewall, Endpoint Protection, and Cloud Manager upgrade allows the City to update the security infrastructure hardware and service to incorporate the latest security protocols, threat intelligence, and protection mechanisms required to defend modern infrastructure.
It is essential for the City to maintain and keep its network and cybersecurity infrastructure current in order to provide proper security measures and useful life of the equipment. For this reason, the City must procure and install replacements for existing Firewall hardware and upgrade the Endpoint Protection and Network Management System to comply with the manufacturer’s support life cycle.
Updating the current systems will allow the City to continue maintaining the security of City computers and network systems and protect them from data security risks and vulnerabilities.
Revealing detailed technical specifications of these systems could expose potential vulnerabilities or otherwise increase the likelihood of an attack on the City's critical infrastructure.
CDW is a value-added reseller for the City’s current network hardware, which offers modern solutions that meet the City’s requirements. The proposed replacement Firewalls and Endpoint Protection systems are designed to better support the City’s
current needs, as the existing infrastructure was implemented prior to the transition to a hybrid workforce model, offering performance improvements for handling remote connectivity traffic, video conferencing, computer cybersecurity and data storage efficiency. Furthermore, remaining with the same manufacturer (Palo Alto) will simplify the migration process, limit downtime, and ensure a smooth transition.
The NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement (Contract # AR3229) with Palo Alto Networks (Attachment No. 2) can be leveraged by all California state and local government agencies, including the City of West Covina. By utilizing this NASPO Master Agreement, the City of West Covina is able to obtain the deepest discounts on the cost to upgrade the Firewall and Endpoint Protection by Palo Alto Networks in the State of California.
Pursuant to Section 2-335(6) of the West Covina Municipal Code, purchases made through a cooperative purchasing agreement or program are exempt from the informal and formal competitive procurement requirements of the Municipal Code provided that (a) the Purchasing Officer determines the purchase is in the best interest of the City, (b) the Purchasing Officr determines the purchase is to the City's economic advantage, and (c) the agreement was competitively awarded using a process that complies with policies, rules, and regulations as approved by the Purchasing Officer. The Purchasing Officer has determined that the requirements are met. Therefore, the purchase is exempt from competitive procurement requirements.
