SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: Finance
Prepared by: Nadine Atieh Hade,
Administrative Services Director
City Manager Approval: __________
TOPIC: YEAR-END FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED AUDIT REPORTS
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT; GANN
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT; MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL;
REPORT OF REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS; AND THE CHILD
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FINANCIAL REPORT
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Accept the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Annual Financial Report, Gann Appropriations Limit Report,
Memorandum on Internal Control, Report of Required Communications, and the Child
Development Program Financial Report.
BACKGROUND:
As required by local code, State law, bond covenants, and best practices, the City of San Rafael
completes an annual audit of its financial activities. The auditing firm of Maze and Associates,
Accountancy Corporation conducted the audit for fiscal year 2021-2022. Their work was
completed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States; and the provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-
133, Audits of State and Local Government and Non-Profit Organizations.
The requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution are met with an
agreed-upon procedure report applied to the Gann Appropriation Limit calculated for the year
ending June 30, 2023. A Memorandum on Internal Control is also prepared by the auditors to
address the City’s controls over its financial activities. These reports are attached to this staff
report.
As part of the fiscal year-end activities, the Finance and Library & Recreation departments worked
with the auditors to complete the annual audit of the City’s childcare program, as required by the
State of California.
For the year ending June 30, 2022, the City did not receive funds under the purview of the
Transportation Development Act. Therefore, no separate audit report was completed to satisfy
requirements of the State of California pertaining to these funds.

ANALYSIS:
Overview
Fiscal Year 2021-22 marked what appears to be a transition from the highs of fiscal 2020-21 as
it began with continuing strong revenue growth from sales and use taxes and ended with a bit of
a pull-back as inflation and other concerns weighed on economic activity. Overall results were
positive, but the latter half of the year portends difficulties for future periods as the global economy
navigates numerous challenges to growth.
Fiscal Year 2021-22 Annual Financial Report – City-wide Financial Results
The actual results of the City’s financial activities are presented in the attached Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report. The report includes Government-wide financial statements with
governmental activities and business-type activities presented separately. Net position is one
indicator of the City’s financial position. At the end of the fiscal year, net position of the City
governmental activities inclusive of all governmental funds, all assets of the City (including
infrastructure) and all liabilities (including long-term debt) was $234 million, an increase of $77.8
million from the prior year adjusted balance.
This increase is mainly attributable to a couple of factors. First, Pension and Other Pensionable
Employee Benefits (OPEB) adjustments, based mainly on fiscal 2020-21 activity, greatly reduced
expenses as the extraordinary market gains achieved during the measurement period caused
Pension and OPEB related expenses to turn negative for the year. The adjustments are reflected
in the reduction of functional expenses on the Statement of Activities and, as a result, report stark
declines from prior years. Also significantly impacting the increase was the recognition of
American Rescue Plan Act proceeds reflected in Operating Grants and Contributions on the
Statement of Activities. The funds were recognized after a finalization of regulations with respect
to the disbursements and qualified as revenue loss from the pandemic. Also impacting the net
position were positive results from strong sales and use tax growth for much of the year as well
growth in property tax rolls as we begin to realize the impacts of the housing boom of the prior
years. The Parking Fund, reported as a business-type activity, ended the fiscal year with a net
position of $1 million, or $1.1 million greater than that of the previous fiscal year. The increase
was caused by the aforementioned pension and OPEB adjustments and are not reflective of the
operational struggles of the program, which have not fully recovered from the shutdowns of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Additional explanatory information is provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A) section beginning on page five of the attached CAFR. The MD&A provides key highlights
and a summary view of financial activities for the year.
Financial Results: General Fund
General fund revenues exceeded expenditures by $16.9 million, mainly due to the recognition of
ARPA revenue during the year. Gains achieved from growth in the City’s major revenue sources
were largely offset by increased projected claims related to Liability and Workers’ Compensation
self-insurance programs as well as an unrealized loss on investments resulting from the decrease
in fair value as of June 30, 2022, caused by rapidly rising interest rates.
The fund balance of the General Fund as of June 30, 2022, was $33.8 million (an increase of
$16.9 million from the prior year balance): $95 thousand is non-spendable, $9.4 million is
committed, and $24.3 million is assigned. The committed portion of $9.4 million is for emergency
and cash flow needs which meets the minimum target reserve levels at 10% of general fund
operating expenditures.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
Gann Appropriations Limit
The Agreed-Upon Procedures report for the Gann Appropriations Limit required three procedures
to be performed including testing the accuracy of the calculations and comparison of information
presented. No exceptions were noted in these procedures for compliance with the Proposition
111 fiscal year 2022-2023 Appropriations Limit calculation.
Memorandum on Internal Control
The auditors are required to communicate to the City Council matters that come to their attention
relating to the audit in a report entitled Memorandum on Internal Control. Findings of deficiencies
in internal controls were mainly due to administrative and clerical errors. Staff responses
addressing each comment are included in the Memorandum.
Required Communications
Professional standards require that certain information regarding significant audit findings
related to the audit be communicated to those charged with governance. These
communications include minor changes to accounting policies, new accounting
pronouncements, and a discussion of significant accounting estimates among other items. No
adverse communications were noted.
Child Development Program (Childcare) Financial Report
The Childcare Program continues to have negative operating results resulting from the pandemic,
with $3.2 million in total revenues and $3.3 million in expenditures for the fiscal year. As a result,
the fund balance decreased from $508 thousand to $352 thousand. Although the results are
negative for the year, the program showed progress in both the increase in revenues and
reduction of expenses when compared to the prior year. The audit resulted in no adverse findings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact occurs by the City Council’s acceptance of these reports. The fiscal year 2021-
22 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and related reports are presented as the actual
results of the City and related entities’ financial activities for the year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council accept the reports as presented. The reports will remain as
“draft” until City Council has accepted the reports.

Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and Residents of San Rafael:
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (“Annual Report”) of the City of San Rafael
(“City”) for the year ended June 30, 2022, is hereby submitted as required by local
ordinances, state statutes and bond covenants. This financial report has been prepared in
conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as promulgated by
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and includes the report of the
independent certified public accounting firm, Maze and Associates Accountancy
Corporation, which has issued an unmodified, or “clean” opinion on the City’s financial
statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
The independent audit of the financial statements is part of a broader, federally mandated
examination known as a “Single Audit”, which is designed to meet the needs of federal
grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audits require the independent auditor to
report on the audited agency’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements,
with special emphasis on such controls and requirements involving the administration of
federal funding. These reports will be available in the City’s separately issued Single Audit
Report.
City Management is responsible for both the data accuracy, and the completeness and
fairness of the presentation of this report. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the data
presented is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner that presents fairly
the financial position and results of operations of the various funds and component units of
the City. Further, the Annual Report is prepared in accordance with procedures and policies
set by the Government Finance Officers Association. The analysis of the financial
condition and the result of operations can be found in the financial section of the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis document. The Annual Report is organized into
three sections:
1. Introductory section, which is unaudited, includes this letter of transmittal, an
organizational chart and a list of the City’s elected and appointed officials.
2. Financial section, includes the basic financial statements, related footnote disclosures,
and the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, as well as
the independent auditors' report.
3. Statistical section, which is unaudited, includes selected financial and demographic
information, presented on a multi-year basis. Generally, ten-year data is presented for
expenditures, revenues, assessed valuation for local properties and construction
activity.

REPORTING ENTITY – PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City of San Rafael is located 17 miles north of San Francisco in Marin County.
Protected by its Mediterranean like setting along the shores of the San Francisco Bay, the
City enjoys a mild climate year-round. As the County seat, San Rafael is considered the
commercial, financial, cultural and civic hub of Marin County. Abundant recreational
facilities are available in and around the City. The City’s park and recreational resources
include 24 city parks, 393 acres of developed parkland, city and county open space, and
China Camp State Park. San Rafael is close to other attractions, including the Golden Gate
Bridge, Muir Woods, Point Reyes National Seashore, Mount Tamalpais, multiple state
parks, San Francisco, Oakland and the Sonoma and Napa wine country.
In 1874, the City became the first incorporated city in the county, later becoming a charter
city in 1913 by vote of City residents. The City Council comprises five members; four are
elected to four-year terms while the mayor is elected separately to a four-year term. The
City’s land area is 22 square miles, including seventeen square miles of land and 5 of water
and tidelands. San Rafael's population on January 1, 2022, was 60,560.
Downtown San Rafael is the location of many community events, including Second Friday
Art Walks, the Sunset Criterium Bike Race, Mill Valley Film Festival, Parade of Lights
and Holiday Festival, and is one of only 14 Cultural Arts Districts in the State of California.
San Rafael is also the heart of the County’s cultural activities with venues such as the
Marin Center, which presents numerous ballets, concerts, speaking engagements as well as
the award-winning Marin County Fair; the Falkirk Cultural Center, providing art exhibits
and children's programming; the Christopher B. Smith Film Center, and a host of other
diverse dining and entertainment venues.
The City provides a full range of municipal services required by statute or charter, namely:
police and fire protection, construction and maintenance of streets, parks, storm drains and
other infrastructure, recreation, childcare, permits, planning, code enforcement, and a
library system serving three locations. The City performed certain infrastructure
construction and economic development activities through a separate Redevelopment
Agency until its dissolution on February 1, 2012. The City of San Rafael accepted the role
of Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency per Council action on January 3, 2012,
and now conducts its economic development activities with funding from its General Fund.
The City and California Municipal Finance Authority compose the San Rafael Joint
Powers Financing Authority, originally established by the City and former Redevelopment
Agency for the purpose of financing redevelopment and other projects. The San Rafael
Sanitation District is a discretely presented component unit of the City and is presented
independent of City financial information. For a further explanation of these entities, refer
to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Financial Section of the
Annual Report.

The City participates in various organizations through formally organized and separate
entities established under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of California. As
separate legal entities, these agencies exercise full powers and authorities within the
scope of the related Joint Powers Agreement including the preparation of annual
budgets, accountability for all funds, and the power to make and execute contracts.
Obligations and liabilities of the separate entities are not those of the City. For a further
explanation of these separate entities, refer to Note 12 – Jointly Governed Organizations in
the Annual Report.
Building from over a decade of community efforts to address San Rafael's aging essential
public safety facilities, the Essential Facilities project has been underway with major
milestones met during the year. In August of 2020 the City completed and placed into
service the new Public Safety Center, a state-of-the-art facility for police headquarters and
public safety services. On October 18, 2021, the City Council approved a construction bid
for Fire Station 54 and Fire Station 55 and construction is currently underway.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
The City has a diversified economic base, which includes an assortment of high-tech,
financial, service-based, entertainment and industrial businesses. Downtown San Rafael
provides a mix of restaurants, retail shops and financial institutions. The City’s varied
economic base is reflected in its property tax base, which is 71% residential, 19%
commercial, 2% industrial, and 8% unsecured and others. The top 25 sales tax producers
provide 52% of overall sales tax revenues.
With the COVID-19 pandemic waning, the macro-economic environment is facing
increasing challenges on its road to recovery. Inflation is running at 40-year highs and
actions by the Federal Reserve to contain it threaten to slow economic activity for the
near-term. Further, supply chain disruptions persist with ongoing challenges at the
ports, railway networks, and the state’s trucking industry causing delays in getting goods
to market.
Locally, Marin County is still recovering from the effects of the pandemic, however, as
the county’s workforce is more concentrated in the finance, science, and information
sectors there is hope the region’s employment figures will continue to outperform much
of the state that relies more heavily on personal service and retail.
Demographic Data
The following is a sample of demographic and economic attributes that make San Rafael an
exceptional place to live and work.

Economic development organizations in San Rafael include the San Rafael Chamber of
Commerce, Downtown Business Improvement District, and the Marin Economic
Forum.
Marin County’s top 10 employers include Kaiser Permanente, Marin Health Medical
Center, Dominican University of California, Marin Community Clinics, Novato
Community Hospital, Hospice by the Bay, W Bradley Electric, Wells Fargo,
Community Action Marin, and BioMarin.
Major shopping areas, as measured in available retail square footage, include the
Downtown corridor (938,000 aggregate), Northgate Mall (725,000), Montecito Center
(130,000) and Northgate One (113,900).
The top three sales tax categories during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, for San
Rafael were: 1. Autos and Transportation (30%), 2. Building and Construction (22%),
and 3. State and County Pools, which mainly reflects ecommerce activity (16%).
Several hotels and motels support tourism activity, led by a combined 471 rooms in the
Embassy Suites and Four Points Sheraton. Citywide, the total number of hotel rooms
is 787.
Establishing and maintaining affordable residential housing for sale and lease continues
to be a challenge both in San Rafael and throughout Marin County. The median rent
for an apartment in San Rafael is $2,752. The median home value in San Rafael is
$1,507,497.
Recent growth and economic vibrancy:
The City is enjoying a boost in development of hotel rooms thanks to a new AC
Marriott Hotel currently under construction in the heart of our Downtown. A
dual-brand Hampton Inn/H2 Hotel is also coming soon in the East San Rafael
neighborhood to serve a variety of large retailers and businesses as well as
workers within the traditionally industrial area. These two hotels combined are
expected to add 325 new hotel rooms to the City and generate Transit Occupancy
Tax (TOT).
The City has embarked upon its first ever Economic Development Strategic Plan by
retaining Kosmont Companies to prepare a detailed proposal of insightful,
actionable recommendations that provide measurable benefits and value for the
City of San Rafael’s economic vitality.
San Rafael continues to serve our local business and restaurant community by
implementing a structured formal outdoor dining program called the Streetary
Program, which will replace the temporary emergency outdoor dining program
that greatly supported our businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. In
coordination with the Business Improvement District, the City has also
reimagined the ‘Dining Under the Lights’ event into a tailored, post-COVID
program including block parties and entertainment that draws foot traffic to our
downtown.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The City's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls to
ensure that the City's assets are adequately protected from loss, theft or misuse. In addition,
management controls ensure that proper accounting data is collected so as to prepare
reports in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance
regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition;
and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and
maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that
the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived. All internal control
evaluations occur within the above framework. It is management’s belief that the City's
internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance
that financial transactions are properly recorded.
The City develops a budget based upon City Council priorities and department objectives.
The Finance Department maintains a traditional line-item budget by major function.
Budget control is accomplished at the functional or division level within each fund. This
budget creates a comprehensive management and fiscal system aimed at achieving the
objectives of each operating level consistent with those that have been set for the
community by the City Council. Each department director is responsible for accomplishing
goals within his or her functional area and monitoring the use of her or his budget
allocations consistent with policies set by the City Council and monitored by the City
Manager.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of San Rafael (City), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, 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

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 requirement 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 the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a
going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. 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, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to 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.
Change in Accounting Principles
Management adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87,
Leases, which became effective during the year ended June 30, 2022 and required restatement of certain
governmental activities lease-related balances as discussed in Note 1S to the financial statements.
Management also adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 98,
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, for the year ended June 30, 2022, which establishes the term
annual comprehensive financial report and its acronym ACFR. That new term and acronym replace
instances of comprehensive annual financial report and its acronym in generally accepted accounting
principles for state and local governments.

REVIEW DRAFT 11-7-22 DRAFT2
The emphasis of these matters does not constitute a modification to our opinions.
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.
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 Supplementary Information, as listed in
the Table of Contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is 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 Supplementary Information is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information
comprises the Introductory Section and Statistical Section listed in the Table of Contents, 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
exits, we are required to describe it in our report.

2022, 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 solely 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
effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
This analysis of the City of San Rafael’s (City) financial performance provides an overview of the City’s financial
activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Please read it in conjunction with the basic financial statements and
the accompanying notes to those basic financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Government-wide:
Net Position – The assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows as of
June 30, 2022, by $244 million.
Activities – During the fiscal year the City’s total revenues of $152.2 were greater than expenses of
$73.4 million for governmental and business-type activities.
Changes in Net Position – The City’s total net position increased by $78.9 million in fiscal year 2021-2022
as compared to the net position of the previous year. Net position of governmental activities increased by
$77.8 million, while net position of the business-type activities increased by $1.1 million.
Fund Level:
Governmental Funds – As of the close of fiscal year 2021-2022, the City’s governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $71.9 million, an increase of $17.1 million primarily due the recognition
of $16.1 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. Of this total amount, $185 thousand is
nonspendable, $36.4 million is restricted, $10.9 million is committed, and $24.4 million is assigned.
Governmental fund revenues totaled $147.1 million, an increase of $23.1 million from the those of the
previous fiscal year. Approximately $16.1 million was due to the recognition of ARPA funding, $4 million
can be attributed to larger use tax remittances with a full year of Measure R proceeds recorded during the
year as opposed to one quarter in fiscal 2020-2021. The remainder is mainly due to increased grant activity
related to projects during the year, offset by a negative fair value adjustment of approximately $2 million
against the pooled fixed income investment portfolio for the year.
Governmental fund expenditures increased by $15.8 million to $132.4 million, from $116.5 million in the
prior year, due to a number of factors. Compensation increased following labor negotiations in the prior year
and the repayment of furloughs enacted during the prior fiscal year additionally, project expenditures
increased as we begin to deploy ARPA funds as well as Essential Facilities Capital Projects increasing with
the construction of Fire Stations 45 and 55 adding $3.8 million in charges. Overall, we also experienced
increasing costs for goods and services across the board.
Enterprise fund net position increased $1.1 million to $10 million as a result of pension adjustments related
to market gains achieved in FY 2020-2021 (measurement year), which is also responsible for the decrease in
Enterprise operating expenses of $1.5 million when compared to the previous year.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements, which
have three components: 1) Government-wide Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements, and 3) Notes to
the Basic Financial Statements.
The basic financial statements include the City (primary government) and all legally separate entities (component
units) for which the government is financially accountable. This report also contains other supplementary information
in addition to the basic financial statements for further information and analysis.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements present the financial picture of the City and provide readers with a broad
view of the City’s finances. These statements present governmental activities and business-type activities separately
and include all assets of the City (including infrastructure) as well as all liabilities (including long-term debt).
Additionally, certain interfund receivables, payables, and other interfund activity have been eliminated as prescribed
by generally accepted accounting principles.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position report information about
the City as a whole. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City 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.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows/inflows of resources,
and liabilities, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases in net position may serve as a useful
indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position presents information showing how the City’s net position
changed during the year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the
change occurs, regardless of timing of related cash flows.
In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position, City activities are
separated as follows:
Governmental Activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in this category, including Public Safety,
Public Works and Parks, Community Development, Cultural and Recreation, and Government Administration
(finance, human resources, legal, City Clerk and City Manager operations). Property tax, sales and use taxes, user
fees, interest income, franchise fees, hotel taxes, business licenses, and property transfer taxes, plus state and federal
grants finance these activities.
Business-type Activities – The City charges fees to customers to cover the full costs of certain services it provides.
The City’s Parking Services program is the City’s sole business-type activity.
Discretely Presented Component Units – The government–wide financial statements include not only the City itself
(the primary government), but also the San Rafael Sanitation District, a legally separate entity for which the City is
financially accountable. Financial information for the San Rafael Sanitation District is reported separately from the
financial information presented for the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 23 through 25 of this report.

Fund Financial Statements and Major Component Unit Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for
specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City are divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds called
major funds. Each major fund is presented individually with all non-major funds summarized and presented in a
single column. Further detail on the non-major funds is presented on pages 122 through 137 of this report.
Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may
be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financial capacity.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for government funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the
long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and
the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. These reconciliations are
presented on the page immediately following each governmental fund financial statement.
The City has thirty-two governmental funds, of which four are considered major funds for presentation purposes.
Each major fund is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. The City’s four major funds are: the General
Fund, Traffic and Housing Mitigation Fund, Gas Tax Fund and Essential Facilities Capital Projects Fund. Data from
the other twenty-five governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. The basic
governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 28 through 31 of this report. Individual fund data for
each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements on pages 122 through
137 of this report.
Proprietary Funds – The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds - enterprise funds and internal
service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for its Parking Services program
and reports it as a major fund. Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the
City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its building maintenance; vehicle,
equipment and computer replacement; workers’ compensation; general liability; self-insured dental program; other
employee and retiree benefits programs. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than
business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government wide financial
statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more
detail. Like the government-wide financial statements, proprietary fund financial statements use the accrual basis of
accounting. There is no reconciliation needed between the government-wide financial statements for business-type
activities and the proprietary fund financial statements.
The proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 34 through 36 of this report.

Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of
those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. The City acts as an agent on behalf of others,
holding amounts collected, and disbursing them as directed or required. The City’s fiduciary activities are reported
in the separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Position and the Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The
City’s fiduciary funds include a private purpose trust fund to account for activities of the City of San Rafael Successor
Agency and a custodial fund that accounts for resources held by the City in a custodial capacity for the Pt. San Pedro
Road Assessment District. Information for the fiduciary funds can be found on pages 38 through 39 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the
government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages
41 through 95 of this report.
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information. One section includes budgetary comparison statements for the General Fund and major
funds (general, gas tax, and traffic and housing mitigation). The other section includes schedules of funding progress
for the Marin County Employees’ Retirement System and the City’s OPEB plan. All budgeted positions that are filled
by either full-time or permanent part-time employees (working seventy-five percent of full-time equivalent) are
eligible to participate in the system and the OPEB plan. Required supplementary information can be found on pages
96 through 111 of this report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Statement of Net Position
Net position measures the difference between (a) assets and deferred outflows of resources and (b) liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources. During this fiscal year, the net position of the City was $234.3 million from
Governmental Activities and $10.1 million from Business-type Activities, for a total of $244.4 million. This
represents an increase of $78.9 million from the prior year net position.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
The following is the condensed Statement of Net Position for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
Current and other governmental assets increased by $67.4 million, primarily resulting from the inclusion of a Net
Pension Asset of $46.6 million as the City’s pension plan became fully funded following substantial gains during the
measurement period, as well as the recognition of ARPA revenues during the year of $8 million. The remainder is
primarily the result of positive operating results as revenue growth outpaced expense growth during the year. The
$15.6 million increase in capital assets reflects project-to-date activity for Fire Station 54 and 55 construction and
improvements in combination with major traffic infrastructure improvements. The decrease of $15 million in deferred
outflows is primarily a result the impact of pension-related investment gains during the measurement year which
caused the unamortized net difference between projected and actual earnings on plan investments to shift to a deferred
inflow. In order to decrease the volatility of the measurement of net pension liability gains and losses in excess of
those projected are capitalized and amortized over a five-year period. Current and other liabilities decreased by
approximately $3.8 million, primarily due to the recognition of ARPA funds that were classified as unearned revenue
in the prior year, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $3.6 million. Noncurrent governmental liabilities
decreased by $153.6 million mainly as a result of the reclassification of net pension liability to net pension asset
mentioned previously. Deferred inflows increased by $147.7 million mainly as a result of the net difference between
projected and actual earning on investments during the measurement period that resulted in a substantial net deferred
inflow.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
The net position in business-type activities reflects the fiscal activity of the Parking Services program and increased
by $1.1 million from the previous year as a result of pension adjustments noted above for extraordinary gains during
the measurement period. Capital assets decreased by $224 thousand due to current year depreciation. The decreases
in noncurrent liabilities and deferred outflows and related increases in deferred inflows and current and other assets
was due to the pension-related adjustments mentioned above. The $69 thousand increase in current liabilities is
driven by the increase accounts payable to end the year.
At June 30, 2022, the largest portion of total net position in the amount of $257.7 million consisted of the City’s
investment in capital assets net of related debt. This component represents the total amount of funds required to
acquire capital assets less any related debt used for such acquisition that is still outstanding. The City uses these
assets to provide services to residents. The capital assets of the City are not sources of income for repayment of debt
as most assets are not revenue generating and generally are not liquidated to repay debt. Therefore, debt service
payments are funded from other sources available to the City.
A portion of the City's total net position, $36.7 million, is subject to external restrictions, and their use is determined
by those restrictions whether legal or by covenant. The remaining portion, unrestricted negative $50 million,
represents the extent to which the net investment in capital assets and restricted net position exceed total net assets.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
The City’s governmental activities net position increased by $77.7 million during fiscal year 2021-2022. Year-over-
year increases in revenues of $24.4 million were mainly the result of the recognition of ARPA proceeds of $16.1, but
also impacted by other items. Sales and use tax remittances continued to outperform forecasts while also including
the first full year of Measure R transaction and use tax proceeds leading to an increase of $4.5 million over the prior
year. Property tax revenues showed strong growth at 4.2% leading to an overall revenue increase of $1.3 million as
we begin to see the impact of increased assessed valuations following the raging hot housing market of the previous
fiscal year. Transient occupancy tax showed some resilience as the pandemic waned, leading to a year over year
increase of $1.2 million, however these revenues remain below pre-pandemic levels. These positives are offset by
the reported investment loss caused by the rapid rise in interest rates toward the latter half of the fiscal year depressing
bond markets and adversely affecting the City’s fixed income portfolio.
Overall operating expenses report stark declines for the fiscal year as a direct result of pension and OPEB adjustments
made during the year. The measurement year for determining these adjustments was the year ending June 30, 2021,
when the market had achieved extraordinary returns causing overall pension and OPEB expense to be negative for
the year. The adjustments for these expenses offset personnel costs in each functional area on the Statement of
Activities and produce a dramatically different picture than that of the fund financial statements, which do not account
for pension and OPEB items in the same manner.

Total expenses for governmental activities were $69.1 million (excluding interest on long-term debt of $2 million).
Program revenues offset total expenses as follows:
Those who directly benefited from programs contributed $18.9 million in charges for services.
A total of $32.3 million in operating and capital projects were funded by outside agencies through operating
grants, capital grants, and contributions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
The net position for business-type activities increased from the prior year by $1.1 million primarily as a result of
pension adjustments related to extraordinary investment gains during the measurement period reducing reported
personnel expenses significantly.
Parking services is the City’s only business-type activity with income derived from program revenues of $3.8 million.
Program revenues include parking meter coin income of $1.3 million and parking garage hourly and monthly parking
income of $0.8 million. Revenues also include parking and non-vehicle code fines totaling $1.7 million. Total
expenses for parking services were $2.2 million and transfers out to general fund and non-major governmental fund
for support totaled $521 thousand during the fiscal year 2021-2022. The Parking services program has been acutely
affected by the lasting impacts of the coronavirus pandemic as the effects of reduced brick-and-mortar business
activity and increased remote work arrangements have reduced demand for street and garage parking.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS
Governmental Funds
Fund Balance Classifications
Fund balances are classified in five categories: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned based
on a hierarchy of constraint. Further details on fund balance classifications can be found in Note 8B.
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances
of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financial capacity. In particular, unassigned
fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the
fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2022, the City reported a combined ending fund balance of $71.9 million of all its governmental funds
(an increase of $17.1 million from the prior year): $185 thousand is non-spendable, $36.4 million is restricted,
$10.9 million is committed, and $24.4 million is assigned.
General Fund – The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City.
General Fund – The fund balance of the General Fund as of June 30, 2022, was $33.8 million (an increase of
$16.9 million from the prior year balance): $95 thousand is non-spendable, $9.4 million is committed, and $24.3
million is assigned. The committed portion of the balance includes $9.4 million for emergency and cash flow needs.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights:
The original adopted General Fund budget projected total revenue of $89 million and transfers-in of $1.8 million for
total resources of $90.8 million. This budget appropriated expenditures of $88.5 million and transfers-out of
$2 million for total appropriations of $90.5 million. Revenues were later increased to $110.1 million to include the
recognition of $16.1 million in ARPA proceeds as well as better-than-anticipated sales and use tax receipts. Transfers-
out were increased by $974 thousand to provide increased support of recreation fund expenditures as a result of the
lasting effects of the pandemic as well as project support.
Actual revenues, at $109.8 million, exceeded original budgeted revenues by $20.8 million. $16.1 million of the
increase is related to the recognition of ARPA proceeds and the remainder can be attributed to increased sales and
use taxes as the economy remained in high gear for much of the year, as well as the new Measure R transaction and
use tax recording its first full year of implementation. These revenue increases were offset by an adverse fair value
adjustment to the City’s fixed income portfolio of approximately $2 million. Expenditures of $91.6 million were $3.1
million greater than original budgeted expenditures of $88.5 million after actuarial reports for Liability and Workers’
Compensation programs were issued with substantially increased liabilities for future claims.
Fiscal year 2021-2022 General Fund revenues and transfers in of $111.5 million exceeded expenditures and transfers
out of $94.6 million by $16.8 million. The increase is primarily the result of the use of ARPA proceeds and the
savings have been earmarked for specific future projects and initiatives.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
Traffic and Housing Mitigation Fund – The City uses this fund to collect developer contributions to be used for
major street improvement and housing infrastructure projects. During the year, the fund balance decreased from $6.6
million to $4.9 million. Revenues totaled $630 thousand, while $1.1 million was charged against this fund to support
the maintenance of the City-wide traffic model, and $1.2 million was transferred out for project support. The main
projects supported during the year include pedestrian improvements in the Canal neighborhood as well as the third
street rehabilitation project. The balance in the fund is being held in anticipation of major street projects identified in
the General Plan 2040 and other qualifying expenditures.
Gas Tax Fund – The City uses this fund to manage its allocation of State gasoline taxes and local funding for street
maintenance projects. Gas tax revenues exceeded expenditures and net transfers by $2.6 million in fiscal year 2021-
2022 resulting in an increase in fund balance from $4.3 million to $6.9 million. The activities for the year were all
planned and approved project work.
Expenditures during fiscal year 2021-2022 totaled $11.6 million. In addition to routine street-related maintenance of
$1.5 million, major expenditures included $5.8 million for the third street rehabilitation project, $1.5 million for
sidewalk improvements along Francisco Boulevard, $1 million for a resurfacing and improvements to Bungalow
Avenue, and $500 thousand for pedestrian improvements in the Canal neighborhood.
The largest sources of revenues were $3.9 million in development impact fees, $2.6 million in federal grants, $1.4
million from State gasoline taxes, $1.2 million in State RMRA (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account)
funding, $1 million in local Measure A funding.
Essential Facilities Capital Projects Fund – The City uses this fund to account for major capital improvements to
public safety facilities. During the year, construction began on Fire Stations 54 and 55. Expenditures during fiscal
year 2021-2022 totaled $4.9 million, transfers from the General Fund representing an allocation of Measure E
Transaction and Use Tax totaled $715 thousand and $307 thousand was allocated from paramedic tax funds.
Non-major Governmental Funds – The City’s non-major funds are presented in the basic financial statements in the
aggregate. At June 30, 2022, non-major funds had a total fund balance of $17 million, a $2 million increase over that
of the previous year. The largest fund balance decrease, $359 thousand, was recorded in the Grants Fund as result of
prior year grants being spent down. The largest fund balance increase, $649 thousand, was recorded in the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund as an old ground lease was refinanced into a loan during the year resulting in the
repayment of $643 thousand.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
Of the ending total non-major fund balances of $17 million: $15.3 million (90%) is legally restricted for specific
purposes by external funding source providers, $1.5 million (9%) is committed for special purposes by the City
Council, $118 thousand (less than 1%) is assigned, and $90 thousand (less than 1%) in nonspendable. Additional
information about these aggregated non-major funds is presented in the combining statements which immediately
follow the required supplementary information.
Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds are presented in the basic financial statements in a manner similar to that found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. As noted in the Summary of Changes in Net Position –
Business-type Activities at page 14, the City’s enterprise fund net position increased by $1.1 million during the fiscal
year. The Parking Services Fund is the City’s sole business-type (Enterprise) activity.
The parking services fund’s operating revenue increased by $485 thousand in fiscal year 2021-2022 to $3.8 million.
The enterprise fund operating expenses were $2.1 million in fiscal year 2021-2022, a decrease of $1.5 million over
the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating revenues was the result of recovery from the pandemic driving a
slightly higher demand for parking, however, is not reaching pre-pandemic totals. The substantial decrease in
expenses is a direct result of pension adjustments related to the measurement year ending June 30, 2022, when
extraordinary gains were achieved and more than offset expenses for the period.
The City’s Internal Service Funds are also reported in this Proprietary Fund classification. In fiscal year 2021-2022,
the Internal Services Funds were comprised of: Building Maintenance, Vehicle Replacement, Equipment
Replacement, Employee Benefits, Liability Insurance, Workers’ Compensation, Dental Insurance, Employee
Retirement, OPEB/Retiree Medical, Radio Replacement, Telephone Replacement and Sewer Maintenance. The net
position of the Internal Service Funds increased by $4.5 million. Net investment in capital assets decreased by $863
thousand, while unrestricted fund balance increased by $5.3 million. The decrease in capital assets resulted primarily
from depreciation of existing capital assets. The increase in unrestricted fund balance reflected increased allocations
to the Building Maintenance Fund, Vehicle Replacement Fund, and Equipment Replacement Fund to fund repair and
replacement of aging capital assets. The other Internal Service Funds reported small-to-moderate changes to their
respective net positions.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2022, amounts
to $310 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $206 million. This investment in capital assets includes land,
buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, infrastructure, right-to-use lease assets, and construction in
progress. Infrastructure assets are items that are normally immovable and of value only to the City such as roads,
bridges, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, and similar items. The addition to the City’s
investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was $14.3 million, offset by accumulated depreciation of
$8.6 million.
Additions to capital assets during fiscal year 2021-2022 included:
Machinery and Equipment: Fire boat infrared camera $39 thousand
Infrastructure: $20.9 million
Anderson Drive Rail Crossing Improvements - $6.2 million
Francisco Blvd East Sidewalk Improvements - $6.1 million

ECONOMIC CLIMATE AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
The global economy is currently experiencing a slowdown as high inflation and supply constraints weigh heavily on
the economic outlook. The International Monetary Fund currently projects global growth to slow from 6.0% in 2021
to 3.2% in 2022, then reduced further to 2.7% in 2023. Overall, in the near-term, it is easy to sour upon the outlook
as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine rages on, financial markets in turmoil in the United Kingdom, and reduced production
from China as they continue to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic all present considerable challenges to global
economic activity.
In California the slowdown is beginning to take shape as the Legislative Analyst Office recently revised estimates
for personal income, sales, and corporation taxes down, now indicating an 80% chance of falling below the Budget
Act assumption of $210 billion. According to preliminary August data, California’s unemployment rate has ticked
up to 4.1% after steadily declining to 3.9% in July and posting its first month-over month increase since May of 2020.
It appears the state may be at an inflection point and time will tell how it will weather the storm.
Locally, Marin County remains somewhat insulated from more pronounced impacts of the macro environment with
an unemployment rate among the lowest in the state at 2.4% and per capita income among the highest. However,
there could be signs of tougher times ahead as Marin’s traditionally largest service sector, Educational & Health
Services, has seen reduced employment of 11.2% year-over year, according to the most recent data from the
Employment Development Department.
In San Rafael, any negative economic impacts remain subdued early in the year. Sales and use taxes for the first two
months of fiscal year 2023 are tapering from the highs of the prior year, however, remain at the elevated post-
shutdown level of fiscal year 2020-2021. The macro-economic headwinds are expected to filter down to the City in
the near term, however, they can be expected to be less severe at the local level.
The City heads into the new fiscal year with a strong balance sheet and large capital projects in the pipeline bolstered by
ARPA funds. Expectations are for large drawdowns on accumulated fund balances as capital projects get underway.
However, costs are continuing to rise and certain projects may need to be prioritized to ensure the City does not become
overextended.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022
Sales tax and transactions and use tax (Measure E and Measure R) combined, represent the City’s largest tax revenue
generators, the second largest being property tax. The City initially budgeted for mostly level revenues with the prior year
but has since begun to temper expectations as it begins to be clear that economic headwinds may take their toll on municipal
revenues.
The City’s largest expenditure relates to personnel costs. Salaries and benefits are tied to the labor agreements with each
bargaining group. The City’s labor units are all operating under three-year contracts that expire in 2024.

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities summarize the entire City’s financial
activities and financial position. They are also referred to as Government-wide financial statements.
The Statement of Net Position reports the difference between the City’s total assets and deferred outflows of
resources and the City’s total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, including all the City’s capital
assets and all its long-term debt. The Statement of Net Position focuses the reader on the composition of the
City’s net position, by subtracting total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources from total assets and
deferred outflows of resources.
The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of all of the City’s Governmental Activities
in a single column, and the financial position of all the City’s Business-type Activities in a single column;
these columns are followed by a total column which presents the financial position of the entire City.
The City’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special
Revenue and Capital Projects Funds. Since the City’s Internal Service Funds service these Funds, their
activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after eliminating inter-fund transactions and
balances. The City’s Business-type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the City’s net position. It is also prepared on
the full accrual basis, which means it includes all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, regardless of
when cash changes hands. This differs from the “modified accrual” basis used in the Fund financial
statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, deferred outflows/inflows of resources,
available revenues, and measurable expenditures.
The Statement of Activities presents the City’s expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with
the expenses of its business-type activities. Program revenues - that is, revenues which are generated
directly by these programs - are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each
governmental and Business-type program. The City’s general revenues are then listed in the
Governmental Activities or Business-type Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net
Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
Both these Statements include the financial activities of the City and the San Rafael Joint Powers
Financing Authority which are legally separate but are considered to be component units of the City
because they are controlled by the City, which is financially accountable for their activities. The balances
and the activities of the San Rafael Sanitation District, a discretely presented component unit, are
included in these statements in a separate column.

Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are
different because of the following:
Capital Assets Transactions
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities
the cost of those assets is capitalized and allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported
as depreciation and amortization expense.
Capital outlay and improvement expenditures are added back to fund balance 18,669,368
Retirement of capital assets is deducted from fund balance (1,255)
Depreciation and amortization expense is deducted from fund balance (8,113,574)
(Depreciation expense is net of internal service fund depreciation of $1,342,045, which has
already been allocated to serviced funds.)
Long-Term Debt and Lease Liability Proceeds and Payments
Governmental funds record proceeds and payments as other financing sources and expenditures.
However, in the Statement of Net Position, those costs are reversed as increases and decreases
in long-term liabilities.
Repayments of long-term debt principal 2,755,169
Amortized bond premium expense is added back to fund balance 507,943

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A.Description of the Financial Reporting Entity
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements present the City of
San Rafael (the City) as the Primary Government, with its component units for which the City is
considered financially accountable. The component units discussed below are included in the City's
reporting entity because of the significance of their operational and financial relationships with the
City.
B.Description of Blended Component Unit
The accompanying basic financial statements include all funds and boards and commissions that
are controlled by the City Council. The basic financial statements include the City’s blended
component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. A
blended component unit, although a legally separate entity, is in substance, part of the City’s
operations and so data from this entity is combined with the City. The City’s blended component
unit is described below.
San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority – The San Rafael Joint Powers Financing
Authority (Authority) was formed by the City of San Rafael and the former San Rafael
Redevelopment Agency (Agency) pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title
1 of the Government Code of the State of California for the purpose of assisting in the financing
and refinancing of certain assessment district and redevelopment-related activities in the City. On
March 18, 2013, the Agency was replaced by the California Municipal Finance Authority
(CMFA) in order that the life of the Authority would extend beyond that of the Agency. The
Authority is administered by a governing board whose members are the City Council of the City.
Activities of the Authority related to the 2012 Authority Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds are
reported in the Parking Services Enterprise Fund. Activities of the Authority related to the 2018
Authority Lease Revenue Bonds are reported in the City’s General Fund and the Essential
Facilities Capital Projects Fund. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the Authority.
C.Description of Discretely Presented Component Unit
San Rafael Sanitation District – The San Rafael Sanitation District (District) was formed in
1947 under Section 4700 of the California Health and Safety Code to provide wastewater
transmission over the southern two-thirds of the City and adjacent unincorporated areas.
The District is governed by a three-member Board of Directors who are appointed to four-year
terms. The City Council of the City appoints two out of the three board members and has the
ability to remove the two board members at will.
The City contracts with the District to maintain the collection systems in the City and surrounding
unincorporated areas. These employees are paid through the City’s payroll department and
participate in the City’s cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered
by the Marin County Employees’ Retirement Association. The employees also participate in the
City’s healthcare benefits plan which includes a provision for postemployment benefits. These
costs are the obligation of the District and not the City. As discussed in Note 4F, a receivable
from the District has been established.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The District’s activities are reported as a discretely presented component unit in a separate
column in the basic financial statements which includes the District’s assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses, results of operations and cash flows. The District’s fiscal year ends on June 30 and its
separately issued component unit financial statements can be obtained at the San Rafael
Sanitation District, 111 Morphew Street, San Rafael, California 94901.
D. Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Statements – The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
display information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These
statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary
activities. Interfund transfers and amounts owed between funds within the primary government
have been eliminated from the statements. Amounts representing interfund services and uses
remain in the statements. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-
type activities of the City. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes,
intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions. Business-type activities are
financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues
for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s
governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program
or function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services
offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational
needs of a particular program and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing
the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program
revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements – The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s
funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund
category – governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary – are presented. The emphasis of fund
financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is
displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated
and reported as non-major funds.
Proprietary 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. Nonoperating revenues, such as
subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
E. Major Funds and Other Reported Funds
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets and deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, revenues, or expenditures/expenses equal to ten
percent of their fund-type total and five percent of the grand total. The General Fund is always a
major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial
statements:
General Fund – Established to account for all financial resources necessary to carry out basic
governmental activities of the City which are not accounted for in another fund.
Traffic and Housing Mitigation Special Revenue Fund – Established to maintain long-term
developer contributions for major housing and street improvement projects.
Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund – Established to receive and expend the City’s allocation of
State gasoline taxes.
Essential Facilities Capital Projects Fund – Established to account for major capital
improvements to public safety facilities.
The City reported its only enterprise fund as a major fund in the accompanying financial
statements. The enterprise fund is:
Parking Services Fund – Established to maintain parking garages, lots, and spaces in the
Downtown Parking District, and to pay for parking enforcement, meter collection, and downtown
enforcement services.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds – These funds account for: building maintenance; vehicle, equipment,
radio, and telephone replacement; employee benefits; liability insurance; workers’ compensation;
dental insurance; employee retirement; retiree medical (OPEB); and sewer maintenance.
Fiduciary Funds – These funds include: Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency Private-
Purpose Trust Fund – which accounts for the accumulation of resources held by the Successor
Agency to the Redevelopment Agency to be used for payments at appropriate amounts and times
in the future; and Pt. San Pedro Road Assessment District Custodial Fund – which accumulates
funds for the payment of principal and interest for Pt. San Pedro Road Median Landscaping
District bonds. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the government-wide
financial statements, but are presented in the separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements.
F. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide, proprietary, fiduciary and discretely presented component unit financial
statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual
basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time
liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and
the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when
measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to
be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end with the exception of
sales and use tax revenues which are reported as available if collected within ninety days of year-
end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal
and interest on long-term debt, including lease liabilities, claims and judgments, and compensated
absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital
asset acquisitions, including entering into contracts giving the City the right-to-use leased assets,
are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds from long-term debt and financing
through leases are reported as other financing sources.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property and sales taxes, certain intergovernmental
revenues, interest revenue, charges for services, fines, and forfeitures. Other receipts and taxes
are recognized as revenue when the cash is received.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving
or giving equal value in exchange include taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On the
accrual basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or
assessed. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in
which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Under the terms of grant agreements, the
City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical
block grants, and general revenue. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be
made available to finance program expenditures. The City’s policy is to first apply restricted
grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.
The City considers restricted shared state revenues such as gasoline taxes and public safety sales
taxes, restricted locally imposed transportation sales taxes, fines, forfeitures, licenses, permits,
charges for services, and program grants as program revenues.
Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and
activities.
G. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until
then.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position or balance sheet will sometimes report
a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
Unavailable revenue, a type of deferred inflow of resources, is reported in the governmental
funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from intergovernmental
receivables and deferred amounts related to leases. These amounts are deferred and recognized as
an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
H. Budgets, Budgetary Accounting, and Encumbrances
The City adopts an annual budget which is effective July 1 for the ensuing fiscal year. The budget
reflects estimated revenues and expenditures, except for the capital projects funds. Appropriations
and spending authorizations for projects in the capital projects funds and some special revenue
funds are approved by the City Council on a multi-year basis. From the effective date of the budget,
which is adopted at the department level, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures
become appropriations to the various City departments. The City Council may amend the budget by
resolution during the fiscal year in order to respond to emerging needs, changes in resources, or
shifting priorities. Expenditures may not exceed appropriations at the fund level, which is the legal
level of control. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between accounts,
departments, or funds; the Council must approve any increase in the City’s operating expenditures,
appropriations for capital projects, and transfers between major funds and reportable fund groups.
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for the
General Fund and Special Revenue Funds.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders for expenditures are recorded in order to
reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of the budgetary
process. All unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end.
I. Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments
(including all restricted assets) with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents. The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds.
As the proprietary funds' share of this pool is readily available when needed, such share is also
considered to be cash equivalent.
J. Prepaids
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of
prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.

K.Capital Assets
City
Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated acquisition value on the date contributed.
Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a
service concession arrangement are recorded at acquisition value. All other capital assets are
valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available, except
for intangible right-to-use lease assets, the measurement of which is discussed in Note 1R below.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
City policy has set the capitalization thresholds for reporting capital assets at the following:
General capital assets ranging from $5,000 to $50,000
Infrastructure capital assets ranging from $25,000 to $250,000
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method which means the cost of the asset is divided
by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is
fully depreciated. The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of capital assets equitably among
all users over the life of these assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year
represents that year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets.
The City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets:
Buildings, improvements, and structures 20 – 50 years
Machinery and equipment 4 – 20 years
Infrastructure 15 – 50 years
Right to use leased building 35 years
Right to use leased equipment 1.5 – 5 years
District
Collection systems and facilities purchased or constructed are stated at cost. Assets contributed are
recorded at the estimated acquisition value at the date received. Interest is capitalized for assets
constructed when applicable. The costs of normal repairs and maintenance that do not add to the
value of an asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Improvements are capitalized
and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets, as applicable.
Applicable capital assets must be capitalized for amounts $1,000 or above and may be capitalized
for amounts from $500 to $1,000 if determined to be sensitive. Depreciation is provided by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of capital assets as follows:
Subsurface lines 50 – 80 years
Sewage collection facilities 5 – 50 years
General plant and administrative facilities 3 – 15 years

L. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are accrued as earned. Upon termination, employees are paid for all unused
vacation at their current hourly rates. Unused sick leave may be compensable up to 600 hours,
depending upon the provisions of the MOUs, which vary by bargaining unit.
The long-term portion of the liability for compensated absences for governmental fund type
operations is recorded as compensated absences in the government-wide financial statements.
Compensated absences are liquidated by the fund that has recorded the liability. Proprietary fund
liabilities are recorded within their respective funds. The long-term portion of governmental
activities compensated absences is liquidated primarily by the General Fund.
The changes in compensated absences as of June 30, 2022 were as follows:

Current Portion $535,976 $13,518 $549,494
M. Property Tax Levy, Collection and Maximum Rates – City
State of California Constitution Article XIII A provides that the combined maximum property tax
rate on any given property may not exceed 1% of its assessed value unless an additional amount for
general obligation debt has been approved by voters. Assessed value is calculated at 100% of market
value as defined by Article XIII A and may be adjusted by no more than 2% per year unless the
property is sold, transferred, or substantially improved. The State Legislature has determined the
method of distribution of receipts from a 1% tax levy among the counties, cities, school districts and
other districts. Marin County assesses properties, bills for, and collects property taxes on the
schedule that follows:
Secured Unsecured
Valuation/lien dates January 1 January 1
Levy dates July 1 July 1
Due dates (delinquent as of) 50% on November 1 (December 10) July 1 (August 31)
50% on February 1 (April 10)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
For assessment and collection purposes, property is classified as either “secured” or “unsecured” and
is listed accordingly on separate parts of the assessment roll. The “secured roll” is that part of the
assessment roll containing State-assessed property and real property having a tax lien that is
sufficient, in the opinion of the County Assessor, to secure payment of the taxes. Unsecured property
comprises all taxable property not attached to land, such as personal property or business property.
Every tax levied by a county that becomes a lien on secured property has priority over all present and
future private liens arising pursuant to State law on the secured property, regardless of the time of the
creation of the other liens. A tax levied on unsecured property does not become a lien against the
taxed unsecured property, but may become a lien on other property owned by the taxpayer.
Property taxes are levied and recorded as revenue when received in the fiscal year of levy because of
the adoption of the “alternate method of property tax distribution,” known as the Teeter Plan, by the
City and the County of Marin. The Teeter Plan authorized the auditor-controller of the County of
Marin to allocate 100% of the secured property taxes billed, but not yet paid. The County of Marin
remits tax monies to the City in three installments, as follows:
55% remitted on December 15
40% remitted on April 15
5% remitted on June 15
N. Sewer Charges – District
Sewer charges are billed and collected on behalf of the District by the County of Marin as a
special assessment on annual property tax billings. Property taxes are levied on January 1 and are
due in two equal installments on November 1 and February 1 and become delinquent December
10 and April 10, for the first and second installments, respectively. In accordance with the Teeter
Plan, the County remits to the District all charges which are assessed and the county retains
responsibility for collecting past due amounts.
The Teeter Plan provides that the County advance the District its share of the annual gross levy of
secured property taxes and special assessments. In consideration, the District gives the County of
Marin its rights to penalties and interest on delinquent secured property tax receivables and actual
proceeds collected.
O. Connection Fees – District
Connection fees represent a one-time contribution of resources to the District imposed on
contractors and developers for the purpose of financing capital improvements. Connection fees
are recognized after non-operating revenues (expenses) in the statement of revenues, expenses,
and changes in net position. The District utilizes connection fees received on a first-in-first-out
basis to finance current year capital projects. Accordingly, if there is a balance of connection fees
available at year-end, it is classified as restricted net position.

P. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City
categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in
measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs – other than quoted prices included within level 1 – that are
observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair
value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
Q. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
R. Leases
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s
nonfinancial asset (the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an
exchange or exchange-like transaction. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land,
vehicles, and equipment.
Lessee – The City is a lessee for noncancellable leases of equipment and land. The City
recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right‐to‐use lease asset (lease asset) in the
government‐wide financial statements. The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial
individual value of $25,000 or more.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value
of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is
reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as
the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease
commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on
a straight‐line basis over the lesser of its useful life or the life of the lease agreement.

Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount
rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease
payments as follows:
The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the
interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed
payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise, if
applicable.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and
will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to
significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.
Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term
lease liabilities on the statement of net position.
Lessor – The City is a lessor for noncancellable leases of certain buildings and land. 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 as
follows:
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. New Accounting Pronouncements
GASB Statement No. 87 – In June 2017, GASB issued Statement No. 87, Leases. The objective
of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by
improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement requires
recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as
operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the
payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the
foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this
Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease
asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources,
thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing
activities. The provisions of this Statement were implemented during fiscal year 2022. As part of
the implementation of this Statement, the City has accounted for certain lessor and lessee
transactions, which required the restatement of beginning net position of the governmental
activities leases receivable and deferred inflows in the amounts of $615,997, and capital assets
and lease liabilities in the amount of $5,734,584, and the net effect on beginning net position and
fund balance is zero. See the leases disclosures in Notes 4G and 14.
GASB Statement No. 92 – In January 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 92, Omnibus 2020.
The objectives of this Statement are to enhance comparability in accounting and financial
reporting and to improve the consistency of authoritative literature by addressing practice issues
that have been identified during implementation and application of certain GASB
Statements. This Statement addresses a variety of topics and includes specific provisions about
the following: Statement No. 87, Leases; reporting of intra-entity transfers between a primary
government employer and a component unit defined benefit pension plan or defined benefit other
postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan; applicability of Statement No. 73, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB
Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements 67 and 68, as
amended, and No. 74, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than
Pension Plans, as amended, to reporting assets accumulated for postemployment benefits;
applicability of certain requirements of Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities, to
postemployment benefit arrangements; asset retirement obligations; reference to nonrecurring fair
value measurements of assets or liabilities in authoritative literature; terminology used to refer to
derivative instruments. The provisions of this Statement were implemented during fiscal year
2022. The implementation of this Statement did not have a material effect on the financial
statements.
GASB Statement No. 98 – In October 2021, GASB issued Statement No. 98, The Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report. This Statement establishes the term annual comprehensive
financial report and its acronym ACFR. That new term and acronym replace instances of
comprehensive annual financial report and its acronym in generally accepted accounting
principles for state and local governments. The provisions of this Statement were implemented
during fiscal year 2022.

NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
A. Policies
The City maintains an investment policy that emphasizes safety, liquidity, and reasonable market
yield. This policy is reviewed and approved by the City Council annually.
The City invests in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual investments are
evidenced by specific identifiable securities instruments, or by an electronic entry registering the
owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system. In order to
increase security, the City employs the trust department of a bank as the custodian of certain City
managed investments, regardless of their form.
California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities
with a market value of 110% of the City’s cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a
market value of 150% of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law this
collateral is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the City’s name and places
the City ahead of general creditors of the institution.
The City’s investments are carried at fair value, as required by generally accepted accounting
principles. The City adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each
fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year.
B. Classification
Cash and investments as of June 30, 2022, are classified in the financial statements as shown below,
based on whether or not their use is restricted under the terms of City debt instruments or agency
agreements.

F. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. Normally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its
fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City also manages its interest rate risk by holding
most investments to maturity, thus reversing unrealized market gains and losses.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including investments
held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that

amortized cost basis. Each regular LAIF account is permitted to have up to 15 transactions per
month, with a minimum transaction amount of $5,000, a maximum transaction amount of $75

funds maintained in the investment pool in accordance with Article 6 Section 27131 of the California
Government Code. The oversight committee and the Board of Supervisors review and approve the
investment policy annually. The County Treasurer prepares and submits a comprehensive investment

On March 5, 2018, the Authority issued 2018 Authority Lease Revenue Bonds in the amount of
$45,485,000 bearing interest at rates from 4.00% to 5.00%. The proceeds of the bonds were
provided for replacement of two fire stations and construction of a public safety center. The
Authority has pledged revenue pursuant to a site and facility lease between the City and the
Authority for the public safety center. The lease rental payments are due semi-annually and are in
an amount sufficient to make payments on the Bonds. Interest on the Bonds is payable
semiannually on June 1 and December 1. Principal payable on the Bonds will be paid on June 1
starting on June 1, 2021. The Bonds maturing on or prior to June 1, 2028, are not subject to
optional redemption prior to their maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after June 1, 2029, are
subject to optional redemption as a whole or in part on any date after June 1, 2028, at the option
of the Authority, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds subject to
redemption, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
The Bonds are payable from any source of available funds of the City. The bond covenants
contain events of default that require the revenue of the City to be applied by the Trustee as
specified in the terms of the agreement if any of the following conditions occur: default on debt
service payments; the failure of the City to observe or perform the conditions, covenants, or
agreement terms of the debt; bankruptcy filing by the City; or if any court or competent
jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the City.
B. 2010 Taxable Pension Obligation Bonds
On July 1, 2010, the City issued 2010 Taxable Pension Obligation Bonds in the amount of
$4,490,000 bearing interest at rates from 6.00% to 6.25%. Principal payments are due annually on
July 1 and interest is payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1. The Bonds were issued to
prefund a portion of the obligations of the City to the Marin County Employees’ Retirement
Association. Payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds is not limited to any special
source of funds and is payable from any legally available moneys of the City. The City is not
empowered or obligated to levy or pledge taxes to make payments on the Bonds. The bond
covenants contain events of default that require the revenue of the City to be applied by the
Trustee as specified in the terms of the agreement if any of the following conditions occur:
default on debt service payments; the failure of the City to observe or perform the conditions,
covenants, or agreement terms of the debt; bankruptcy filing by the City; or if any court or
competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the City.

On August 7, 2012, the Authority issued 2012 Authority Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds in the
amount of $6,750,000 bearing interest at rates from 2.00% to 4.00%. The proceeds of the Series
2012 Bonds were used to repay the Authority’s 2003 Authority Lease Revenue Bonds that
financed the construction of the 3rd and C Street parking structure and achieved lower interest
rates and lower annual debt service payments. The refunding resulted in a net present value
savings to the City in debt service of $670,496. In addition, the requisition price exceeded the net
carrying amount of the old debt by $295,278. The Series 2012 Bonds are payable from lease
payments made by the City to the Authority for leasing the City facilities. The rights to these
lease payments have been irrevocably transferred by the Authority to the Trustee. Activities
related to the Series 2012 Bonds are reported in the Parking Services Enterprise Fund. Principal
payments are due annually on April 1 and interest is payable semiannually on October 1 and
April 1. The Bonds maturing on or prior to April 1, 2022, are not subject to optional redemption
prior to their maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after April 1, 2023, are subject to optional
redemption as a whole or in part on any date after April 1, 2022, at the option of the Authority, at
a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds subject to redemption, plus accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium.

events of default that require the revenue of the City to be applied by the Trustee as specified in the
terms of the agreement if any of the following conditions occur: default on debt service payments;
the failure of the City to observe or perform the conditions, covenants, or agreement terms of the

NOTE 7 – DEBT WITHOUT CITY COMMITMENT
A. Special Assessment Debt Without City Commitment
Special assessment districts have been established in various parts of the City to provide
improvements to properties located in those districts. Properties in these districts are assessed for
the cost of improvements; these assessments are payable solely by property owners over the term
of the debt issued to finance these improvements. The City is not legally or morally obligated to
pay these debts or be the purchaser of last resort of any foreclosed properties in these special
assessment districts, nor is it obligated to advance City funds to repay these debts in the event of
default by any of these districts. The City does act as an agent for the property owners and
bondholders and at June 30, 2022, the balances of these Districts’ outstanding debt were as
follows:

B. Conduit Debt
The City has assisted private-sector entities by sponsoring their issuance of debt for purposes the
City deems to be in the public interest. These debt issues are secured solely by the property
financed by the debt. The City is not legally or morally obligated to pay these debts or be the
purchaser of last resort of any foreclosed properties secured by these debts, nor is it obligated to
advance City funds to repay these debts in the event of default by any of these issuers. At June

NOTE 8 – NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCE
A. Net Position
Net Position is the excess of all the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources over all its
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, regardless of fund. Net Position is divided into three
captions. These captions apply only to Net Position, which is determined only at the Government-
wide level and business type activity and are described below:
Net Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of Net Position which is represented by the
current net book value of the City’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued
to finance these assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Position which is restricted to use by the terms and
conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other
restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted to use.
B. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net
current assets generally represent a fund’s cash and receivables, less its liabilities. The City’s
fund balances are classified in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the City to classify its fund balances based on spending constraints imposed on the use of
resources. For programs with multiple funding sources, the City prioritizes and expends funds in
the following order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Each category in the
following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint:
Nonspendable represents balances set aside that do not represent available, spendable resources
even though they are a component of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained intact, such
as Permanent Funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids, loans
receivable, and land held for redevelopment are included. However, if proceeds realized from the
sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed or assigned, then
Nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors,
laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for a
specific purpose. Nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable
resources.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by resolution of the City Council which may
be altered only by resolution of the City Council. Nonspendable amounts subject to Council
commitments are included along with spendable resources.
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent that they be used for a
specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City
Manager, as designated by the City Council, and may be changed at the discretion of the City
Council or City Manager. This authorization is given through Resolution No. 13173 which
adopted the City’s Fund Balance Policy.

C. Minimum Fund Balance Policy
The City Council adopted a General Fund Reserve Policy in November 2014 to establish target
reserve levels and the methodology for calculating reserve levels. The Policy also establishes
criteria for the use of reserves and a process to replenish reserves.
The Policy requires the City to strive to maintain the following fund balances:
1)Emergency and Cash Flow Reserve (10% minimum)
An emergency and cash flow reserve will be maintained for the purposes of (1) sustaining
General Fund operations in the case of a public emergency, such as a natural disaster or other
unforeseen catastrophic event; and (2) to cover sudden operating shortfalls caused by (a) a
severe drop in revenues that cannot be sufficiently offset by a corresponding reduction in
expenditures and/or other available resources, or (b) an unforeseen, unavoidable expenditure
that must be paid from the General Fund.
This reserve level is measured as a percentage of annual operating expenditures. Budgeted
operating expenditures are to be used for the purposes of budget allocations and projections,
and actual operating expenditures are to be used for the purpose of measuring this reserve at
fiscal year-end. This reserve may be expended only when the City Council determines by
resolution that such action is consistent with the purpose and intent of this policy.
In the event the balance in the Emergency and Cashflow Reserve falls below the minimum
level, the City Manager, shall recommend a plan to replenish the fund within a timeframe not
to exceed three years. This recommendation shall be approved by the City Council no later
than the time at which the next annual budget is adopted. Any variance from the stipulations
established within this policy shall require approval by the City Council along with a
statement of findings supporting the temporary or ongoing modification to this policy.
The required reserve was $9,415,000 at June 30, 2022, and the balance of the reserve,
included in the General Fund’s committed fund balance was $9,415,000 at that date.
2)Other Facilities and Infrastructure
The purpose of the assigned infrastructure reserve is to accumulate funds to be used for the
purpose of non-public safety facility construction and major improvements (e.g., library,
administrative and non-safety buildings, streets, and the stormwater system). This was
$600,000 at June 30, 2022.
The General Plan/Long Range Planning reserve included in the General Fund’s assigned fund
balance was $1,222,176 at June 30, 2022, which is specifically assigned to the City’s General
Plan, a state required plan that must address eight topic areas – Neighborhoods, Community
Design, Economic Vitality, Infrastructure, Governance, Culture and Arts, Parks and
Recreation and Air and Water Quality.

NOTE 9 – PENSION PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City’s defined benefit retirement plan is administered by the Marin County Employees’
Retirement Association (MCERA), a retirement system established in July 1950 and governed by
the California Constitution; the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (CERL or 1937 Act,
California government Code Section 31450 et seq.); the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act
of 2013 (PEPRA, Government Code Section 7522); the provisions of California Government
Code Section 7500 et seq; and the bylaws, procedures, and policies adopted by MCERA’s Board
of Retirement. The Marin County Board of Supervisors may also adopt resolutions, as permitted
by the CERL and PEPRA, which may affect the benefits of MCERA members.
MCERA operates as a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit plan for the City and eight
other participating employers: County of Marin, Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO), Marin City Community Services District, Marin County Superior Court,
Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District, Novato Fire Protection District, Southern
Marin Fire Protection District and Tamalpais Community Services District. Separate actuarial
valuations are performed for these other agencies and districts, and the responsibility for funding
their plans rest with those entities. Post-retirement benefits are administered by MCERA to
qualified retirees.
Copies of MCERA’s annual financial reports, which include required supplementary information
(RSI) for the plan may be obtained from their office at One McInnis Parkway, Suite 100, San
Rafael, CA 94903 or online at www.mcera.org.
B. Benefit Provisions
Service Retirement: MCERA’s service retirement benefits are based on the years of credited
service, final average compensation, and age at retirement, according to the applicable statutory
formula. Members who qualify for service retirement are entitled to receive monthly retirement
benefits for life.
General members hired prior to January 1, 2013, are eligible to retire once they attain the age of
50 (except Misc. Tier 2, whereby the minimum age is 55) and have acquired 10 or more years of
retirement service credit. A member with 30 years of service is eligible to retire regardless of age.
A member who is age 70 or older is eligible to retire regardless of service credit. General
members who are first hired on or after January 1, 2013, are eligible to retire once they have

NOTE 9 – PENSION PLAN (Continued)
Disability Retirement: A member with five years of service, regardless of age, who becomes
permanently incapacitated for the performance of duty is eligible to apply for a non-service
connected disability retirement. Any member who becomes permanently incapacitated for the
performance of duty as a result of injury or disease arising out of and in the course of
employment is eligible to apply for a service-connected disability retirement, regardless of
service length or age.
Death Benefits: MCERA provides specified death benefits to beneficiaries and members’
survivors. The death benefits provided depend on whether the member is active or retired. The
basic active member death benefit consists of a members’ retirement contributions plus interest
plus one month’s pay for each full year of service (up to a maximum of six month’s pay).
Retiring members may choose from five retirement benefit payment options. Most retirees elect
to receive the unmodified allowance which provides the maximum benefit to the retiree and
continuance of 60% of the retiree’s allowance to the surviving spouse or registered domestic
partner after the retiree’s death. Other death benefits may be available based on the years of
service, marital status, and whether the member has minor children.
Cost of Living Adjustment: Retirement allowances are indexed for inflation. Most retirees receive
automatic basic cost of living adjustments (COLA’s) based upon the Urban Consumer Price
Index (UCPI) for the San Francisco Bay Area. These adjustments go into effect on April 1 of
each year. Annual COLA increases are statutorily capped at 2%, 3%, or 4% depending upon the
member’s retirement tier. When the UCPI exceeds the maximum statutory COLA for the
member’s tier, the difference is accumulated for use in future years when the UCPI is less than
the maximum statutory COLA. The accumulated percentage carryover is known as the COLA
Bank.
C. Funding Policy
The funding policy of MCERA provides for actuarially determined periodic contributions by the
City at rates such that sufficient assets will be available to pay plan benefits when due. The
employer rates for normal cost are determined using the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost
Method, which takes into account those benefits that are expected to be earned in the future as
well as those already accrued.
The City contribution rates for the year ended June 30, 2022 were as follows:

These rates were determined by MCERA, based on the actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2020.
The actual rate of return on investments during that year was 3.48% on a market value basis net
of investment expenses, as compared to the prior year’s 7% assumption.
The City uses the actuarially determined percentages of payroll to calculate and pay contributions
to MCERA. Contributions to the plan from the City were $21,859,307 for the year ended June 30,
2022, based on a total payroll of $47,190,217, of which $34,418,052 represented the basis for the
plan contributions. Of the total payroll subject to plan contributions, $1,402,799 is attributable to
the San Rafael Sanitation District (SRSD), a component unit of the City.
Effective with the June 30, 2013, valuation, the Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) as of June
30, 2013, is being amortized over a closed 17-year period (10 years remaining as of June 30,
2020), except for the additional UAL attributable to the outstanding unfunded actuarial loss from
2009, which is being amortized over a separate closed period (currently 18 years).
Effective with the June 30, 2014 valuation, any new sources of UAL due to actuarial gains and
losses or method changes are amortized over a closed 24-year period, with a 5-year ramp up
period at the beginning of the period, a 4-year ramp down at the end of the period, and 15 years of
level payments as a percentage of payroll between the ramping periods. This amortization method
for gains and losses is similar to a 20-year amortization period with level payments as a
percentage of payroll, in conjunction with a traditional 5-year asset smoothing.
Assumption changes are amortized over a closed 22-year period, with a 3-year ramp up period, 2-
year ramp down period, and 17 years of level payments as a percentage of payroll.
D. Net Pension Asset and Pension Expense
The City’s net pension asset (NPA) has been determined for the financial reporting period ended
June 30, 2022, based on the following methodology: The City’s NPA as of June 30, 2020, was
updated to the measurement date of June 30, 2021 using the actual City’s plan assets as of June
30, 2021, and estimating the change in the City’s liabilities between July 1, 2020 and June 30,
2021. This estimate is based on a projection of the City’s long-term contributions to the pension
plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers.
The resulting NPA for the City under this calculation is $48,176,309 or 29.665% of the total
MCERA NPA of $162,401,177 (reference MCERA’s GASB 67/68 report as of June 30, 2021).
This compares to the previous year’s net pension liability of $157,279,576 or 34.3574% of the
total MCERA net pension liability of $457,774,963 (reference MCERA’s GASB 67/68 report as
of June 30, 2020).
In addition to the reporting of the NPA as of June 30, 2022, the City reported deferred inflows of
$164,252,572 and deferred outflows of $15,753,361 as of the measurement date June 30, 2021.
The City reported post-measurement date outflows of $21,859,307 from actual fiscal year 2021-
2022 pension contributions. Deferred outflows include deferred investment gains and adjustments
to assumptions based on actual positive results. Deferred outflows have a positive impact on net
assets (offsetting the net pension liability) and will be recognized in future reporting periods.
Deferred inflows include deferred investment losses, adjustments to assumptions based on actual
negative results, and contributions made after the measurement date.

NOTE 9 – PENSION PLAN (Continued)
Deferred inflows have a negative impact on net assets (similar to the net pension liability) and
will be recognized in future reporting periods. The net impact of these net pension asset related
entries on the City’s Statement of Net Position before allocations to the San Rafael Sanitation
District was $78,463,595. After allocations to the San Rafael Sanitation District, the net impact
on the City’s Statement of Net Position was $75,804,634.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the City’s pension expense is based on the Plan’s
pension expense, adjusted for the City’s actual contributions and net pension liability (asset).
Three components are used to calculate pension expense: (1) changes in the net pension liability;
(2) changes in benefit terms (if any): and (3) changes in actuarial assumptions and experience.
Pension expense is calculated using a different methodology than that used to derive the
actuarially determined annual contribution to the Plan. Actual pension contributions during the
reporting year were $21,859,307. Because pension expense is affected by annual changes in the
net pension liability, volatility is to be expected. For the current measurement period, investment
returns above the assumed rate were responsible for the decrease in net pension liability to a net
pension asset and had a corresponding impact on pension expense.
The table below provides a summary of the key results during the reporting period:

Projection of Total Pension Liability and Net Pension Liability
Total Pension Liability (TPL) is the actuarial present value of projected benefit payments
attributed to past periods of employee service. MCERA and the City have adopted a measurement
date of June 30, 2021. The beginning of year measurement of TPL is based on the actuarial
valuation as of June 30, 2020. The TPL at the end of the measurement year, June 30, 2021, is also
measured as of the valuation date of June 30, 2020 and projected to June 30, 2021.
The Plan Fiduciary Net Position (FNP) is the fair or market value of assets. The FNP at the
beginning of the year is based on the actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020. The FNP at the end
of the measurement year, June 30, 2021, is also measured as of the valuation date of
June 30, 2020, and projected to June 30, 2021.
The Net Pension Liability (Asset) (NPL/NPA) is the City’s liability (asset) for benefits provided
through its defined benefit plan administered by MCERA. It is calculated by reducing the TPL by
the FNP. The long-term portion of the governmental activities’ NPL is liquidated primarily by the
General Fund.
Actuarial assumptions:
The total pension liability as of June 30, 2021 (measurement date) was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of June 30, 2020, using the following actuarial assumptions applied to all prior periods
included in the measurement.

NOTE 9 – PENSION PLAN (Continued)
Asset Allocation Policy and Expected Long-Term Rate of Return by Asset Class
The Board of Retirement has adopted an Investment Policy Statement (IPS), which provides the
framework for the management of MCERA’s investments. The IPS establishes MCERA’s
investment objectives and defines the principal duties of the Retirement Board, the custodian bank,
and the investment managers. The asset allocation plan is an integral part of the IPS and is designed
to provide an optimum and diversified mix of asset classes with return expectations to satisfy
expected liabilities while minimizing risk exposure. MCERA currently employs external investment
managers to manage its assets subject to the provisions of the policy. Plan assets are managed on a
total return basis with a long term objective of achieving and maintaining a fully funded status for
the benefits provided through the Plan.
The following was the Retirement Board’s adopted asset allocation policy as of June 30, 2021:
Long-Term
Expected Rate
Target Long-Term Expected of Return
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return (with the effect of inflation)
Domestic Equity 32% 4.60% 7.10%
International Equity 22% 4.80% 7.30%
Fixed Income 23% -0.25% 2.25%
Public Real Assets 7% 2.90% 5.40%
Real Estate 8% 3.75% 6.25%
Private Equity 8% 6.00% 8.50%
Cash and Short-Term Investments 0% -1.00% 1.50%
Total 100%
The Long-Term returns are calculated using a 10-year geometric return derived from arithmetic
returns and the associated risk (standard deviation).
Determination of Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75%. Related to the discount
rate is the funding assumption that employees will continue to contribute to the plan at the required
rates and employers will continue the historical and legally required practice of contributing to the
plan based on an actuarially determined contribution, reflecting a payment equal to annual normal
cost, a portion of the expected administrative expenses, an amortization payment for the
extraordinary losses from 2009 amortized over a closed period (18 years remaining as of the June
30, 2020 actuarial valuation), and an amount necessary to amortize the remaining Unfunded
Actuarial Liability as a level percentage of payroll over a closed period (10 years remaining as of
the June 30, 2020 actuarial valuation).
A change in the discount rate would affect the measurement of the TPL. A lower discount rate
results in a higher TPL and higher discount rates results in a lower TPL. Because the discount rate
does not affect the measurement of assets, the percentage change in the NPL can be significant for a
relatively small change in the discount rate. A one percent decrease in the discount rate increases
the TPL by approximately 13% and increase the NPL by approximately 259%. A one percent
increase in the discount rate decreases the TPL by approximately 11% and decreases the NPL by
approximately 213%.

NOTE 10 – PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SYSTEM (DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
RETIREMENT PLAN)
The City contributes to the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), which administers a defined
contribution retirement plan. A defined contribution retirement plan provides retirement benefits in
return for services rendered, provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how
contributions to the individual’s accounts are determined instead of specifying the amount of
benefits the individual is to receive. The benefits a participant will receive depend on the amount
contributed to the participant’s account, and the returns earned on investments on those
contributions. The Plan’s trust administrator is Phase II, P.O. Box 12919, Newport Beach,
California 92658.
As established by the plan, all eligible part-time and temporary employees of the City become
participants in the plan from the date that they are hired. An eligible employee is any employee
who, at any time during which the employer maintains this plan, is not accruing a benefit under the
Marin County Employees’ Retirement Fund.
As determined by the plan, each employee must contribute 3.75% of gross earnings to the plan. The
City contributes an additional 3.75% of the employee’s gross earnings. Contributions made by an
employee and the employer vest immediately.
During the year, the City and employees each contributed $133,398. The total covered payroll of
employees participating in the plan for the year ended June 30, 2022, was $3,557,279.

The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2021 valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB 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 OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These
ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected
future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.
The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class
are summarized in the following table:

The Expected Long-Term Rate of Return is provided by CalPERS’ Strategic Asset Allocation
Overview in October 2018 – Strategy 1.
Changes of Assumptions
The discount rate decreased from 6.75% to 6.25% and general inflation decreased from 2.75% to
2.50%. Other assumption changes included a decreased medical trend rate for Kaiser Senior
Advantage, the Medicare Advantage implied subsidy was removed, and mortality and demographic
assumptions were updated.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25%. The projection of cash flows
used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to
the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on these assumptions, the OPEB plan's
fiduciary net position was projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit payments and the
plan assets are expected to be invested using the strategy to achieve the expected return.

NOTE 12 – JOINTLY GOVERNED ORGANIZATIONS
The City participates in the jointly governed organizations discussed below through formally
organized and separate entities established under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of
California. As separate legal entities, these entities exercise full powers and authorities within the
scope of the related Joint Powers Agreements including the preparation of annual budgets,
accountability for all funds, the power to make and execute contracts and the right to sue and be
sued. Each joint organization is governed by a board consisting of representatives from member
municipalities. Each board controls the operations of the respective joint organization, including
selection of management and approval of operating budgets, independent of any influence by
member municipalities beyond their representation on that board. Obligations and liabilities of this
joint organization are not the City’s responsibility and the City does not have an equity interest in
the assets of each joint organization except upon dissolution of the joint organization.
A. The Marin County Integrated On-Line Library System (System)
The MARINet Library Consortium was formed to provide for the procurement, ownership,
operation, maintenance, and governance of shared library services among the libraries, public and
academic, in Marin County. Current services shared and paid for through annual membership
dues include an integrated library system including patron database, cataloging system, and
online catalog of materials; delivery of items between libraries in Marin, a statewide library
delivery service called Link+, numerous online resources, and more. The Governing Board of the
System consists of the library director or designated alternate of each participant in the
System. In accordance with the cost sharing formula developed by the library directors of the
participants, the City’s share of annual operating costs was $289,297 for the year ended June 30,
2022. Financial statements of the System can be obtained from the County Librarian, Marin
County Free Library at 1401 Los Gamos Drive, Suite 200, San Rafael, California 94903.
B. The Marin General Services Authority (MGSA)
The MGSA was formed by the County of Marin and twelve local agencies to acquire street light
facilities, operate the facilities during an eminent domain action against PG&E, and coordinate
the subsequent transfer of the facilities to the individual local agencies. Each of the local agency’s
share of contributions was based on the number of street lights to be acquired in the local
agency’s individual jurisdiction in relation to the total number of street lights to be acquired by
the Marin Streetlight Acquisition Joint Powers Authority. MGSA services now include street
light maintenance, abandoned vehicle abatement, taxicab regulation, administrative responsibility
for MarinMap and the CATV program formerly administered by the Marin Telecommunications
Authority established to regulate the rates for cable television service and equipment. The City’s
contribution to MGSA was $803,119 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Financial statements of
the MGSA can be obtained at 900 Fifth Avenue, Suite 100, San Rafael, California 94901.

C. The Marin Emergency Radio Authority (MERA)
MERA was formed on February 28, 1998, by the County of Marin and 25 local agencies within
the County to plan, finance, implement, manage, own, and operate a County-wide public safety
and emergency radio system. The Governing Board consists of one representative from each
member. On February 1, 2007, MERA borrowed $2,250,000 from Citizens Business Bank. The
note is being amortized over 14 ½ years at an annual interest rate of 4.43%. Loan Payments are
funded by member operating payments. The costs of maintenance, operation, and debt service are
divided on a pro rata share based on an agreed-upon formula established by a majority of the
Governing Board. The members entered into a Project Operating Agreement on February 1,
1999.
Under the Operating Agreement, members are obligated to contribute service payments to cover
the Authority’s operations and debt service. The City’s portion of the obligation is 16.913%. The
City contributed $388,993 of the Authority’s operations and debt service for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2022. The City has established a reserve in its internal service funds to pay future service
payments. Financial statements of the MERA can be obtained at 95 Rowland Way, Novato,

contribution to the Authority was $17,850 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Financial statements
of the Authority can be obtained at 3501 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael, California 94903.
E. Central Marin Sanitation Agency (CMSA)
In October 1979, the District entered into a joint powers agreement with three neighboring
sanitation agencies in central Marin County forming the Central Marin Sanitation Agency
(CMSA). CMSA serves as a regional wastewater treatment plant for its four member agencies
and San Quentin Prison (SQ) and is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners, two
appointed by the Board of Directors of the District, two appointed by the governing board of the
Ross Valley Sanitary District, and one appointed by the governing board of Sanitary District No. 2
(SD 2).
Total project costs for the joint venture were funded from federal (75%) and state (12.5%) clean
water grants and from local shares (12.5% total) allocated among the member agencies and SQ
based upon the weighted average of the strength and volume of sewage flows per member at
inception of the project. CMSA derives its annual funding for its operations and capital programs
almost exclusively from service charges to member agencies. The joint powers agreement does
not provide an explicit measurable right as required to establish an equity interest for any of the
joint venture participants, and in addition to, stipulates that all excess capital funds, if any, and all
excess administration, operations, and maintenance funds from whatever source, if any, are the
property of CMSA.
The financial statements of the CMSA are available at the CMSA office at 1301 Anderson Drive,

NOTE 13 – RISK MANAGEMENT
A. City
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City established the
Risk Management Internal Service Fund to account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss.
The City manages risk by participating in a public entity risk pool (described below), purchasing
insurance and by retaining certain risks.
Risk Coverage
Liability Coverage
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA)
which covers general liability claims up to $40,000,000. The purpose of CJPRMA is to spread the
adverse effects of general liability losses among the member agencies. The City also purchases
commercial insurance for property damage claims with an insured amount of $175,250,878. The
City is self-insured up to $750,000 for each general liability claim and $25,000 for each property
damage claim. Once the self-insured retention is met, CJPRMA becomes responsible for payment
of all liability claims up to the limit. The City contributed a total of $942,552 in liability coverage
premiums during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Five years after settlement of all general
liability claims for a program year, CJPRMA will retroactively adjust premium deposits for any
excess or deficiency in deposits related to paid claims and reserves. Financial statements for the
risk pool may be obtained from CJPRMA at 3201 Doolan Road, Suite 285, Livermore, California
94551.
Workers’ Compensation Coverage
The City purchases insurance for workers’ compensation through Safety National Casualty
Corporation Excess Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance with coverage up
to statutory limits. The City is self-insured up to $1,000,000 for each worker’s compensation
claim.
Insurance Internal Service Funds and Financial Reporting
The City records estimated liabilities for claims filed up to the amounts for which it retains risk in
the General Liability and Workers Compensation Internal Service Funds. Charges to the General
Fund and other funds are based on relative general liability and workers compensation risk
associated with the activities of each fund. Charges are recorded in the funds as expenditures or
expenses and as revenues in the respective internal service funds.
Generally accepted accounting principles require municipalities to record the liability for
uninsured claims and to reflect the current portion of this liability as an expenditure in the
financial statements. As discussed above, the City has coverage for such claims, but it has
retained the risk for the deductible or uninsured portion of these claims.

B. District
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction
of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees and natural disaster. The District
participates in a joint powers agreement with other entities forming the California Sanitation Risk
Management Authority (CSRMA), a public entity risk pool operating as a common risk
management and insurance program for 60 member entities. CSRMA is governed by a Board of
Directors composed of one representative from each member agency and meets three times per
year in conjunction with conferences of the California Association of Sanitation Agencies. The
Board controls the Note 1 operations of CSRMA, including selection of management and
approval of operating budgets, independent of any influence by member entities.
The District pays annual premiums to CSRMA for its primary insurance and property insurance
programs. Primary and property insurance programs are fully insured wherein CSRMA
purchases insurance as a group thereby reducing its costs. CSRMA provides both fully insured
and pooled insurance programs for its participating member entities. Because all employees of
the District are contracted employees from the City of San Rafael, workers’ compensation
insurance is not carried by the District but is provided through the City.
CSRMA’s primary and property insurance programs transfer risk to commercial insurance
policies for claims above deductibles, while the District retains risk for claims to the extent of
deductibles. Settled claims for the District have not exceeded coverage provided by CSRMA in
any of the past three fiscal years.

TRUST FUND (SUCCESSOR AGENCY) ACTIVITIES
A. Redevelopment Dissolution
In an effort to mitigate its budget deficit, the State of California adopted ABx1 26 on June 28,
2011, amended by AB1484 on June 27, 2012, which suspended all new redevelopment activities
except for limited specified activities as of that date and dissolved redevelopment agencies on
January 31, 2012.
The suspension provisions prohibited all redevelopment agencies from a wide range of activities,
including incurring new indebtedness or obligations, entering into, or modifying agreements or
contracts, acquiring, or disposing of real property, taking actions to adopt or amend
redevelopment plans and other similar actions, except actions required by law or to carry out
existing enforceable obligations, as defined in ABx1 26.
In addition, ABx1 26 and AB1484 directed the State Controller to review the activities of all
redevelopment agencies and successor agencies to determine whether an asset transfer between
an agency and any public agency occurred on or after January 1, 2011. If an asset transfer did
occur and the public agency that received the asset is not contractually committed to a third party
for the expenditure or encumbrance of the asset, the legislation requires the State Controller to
order the asset returned to the redevelopment agency. This review was performed in May 2013,
and a report issued on July 29, 2013 (see section B of this footnote).
The City elected to become the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency, and on
February 1, 2012, the Redevelopment Agency’s remaining net assets were distributed to the
Successor Agency. ABx1 26 requires the establishment of an Oversight Board to oversee the
activities of the Successor Agency and one was established on April 2, 2012. On July 1, 2018, the
County of Marin formed a county-wide Oversight Board to oversee the activities of all Successor
Agencies within the County, including San Rafael. The activities of the Successor Agency are
subject to review and approval of the Oversight Board, which is comprised of seven members.
The activities of the Successor Agency are reported in the Successor Agency to the
Redevelopment Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund as the activities are under the control of the
Oversight Board. The City provides administrative services to the Successor Agency to wind
down the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency.
Pursuant to the dissolution of the City of San Rafael Redevelopment Agency, certain assets of the
Redevelopment Agency were distributed to the Housing Successor and all remaining
Redevelopment Agency assets and liabilities were distributed to the Successor Agency.
The City elected to become the Housing Successor and on February 1, 2012. Assets and
Liabilities relating to the Housing Successor are reported in the City’s Low and Moderate Income
Housing Special Revenue Fund.

TRUST FUND (SUCCESSOR AGENCY) ACTIVITIES (Continued)
B. Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF)
The Successor Agency’s primary source of revenue comes from the RPTTF allocation distributed
by the County. Property tax revenues for each Project Area are deposited into the RPTTF, which
redistributes each Project Area’s tax increment under specified formulas. The County Auditor
administers the RPTTF and disburses twice annually from this fund pass-through payments to
affected taxing entities, an amount equal to the total of obligation payments that are required to be
paid from tax increment as denoted on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”).
The disbursements are established in the treasury of the Successor Agencies, and various allowed
administrative fees and allowances. Any remaining balance is then distributed by the County
Auditor back to affected taxing entities under a prescribed method that accounts for pass-through
payments. The County Auditor is also responsible for the distributing other monies received from
the Successor Agency (from sale of assets, etc.) to the affected taxing entities. Successor agencies
in turn will use the amounts deposited into their respective funds to make payments for principal
and interest on loans and monies advanced to or indebtedness incurred by the dissolved
redevelopment agencies.
C. Long-Term Debt
1999 Tax Allocation Bonds and Capital Appreciation Bonds
On June 16, 1999, the former Agency issued Tax Allocation Bonds in the amount of $23,504,004.
The bonds were issued as Current Interest Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of
$21,115,000 and as Capital Appreciation Bonds in the original amount of $2,389,004. The
proceeds of the bonds were used to finance certain redevelopment activities of benefit to the
former Agency’s Central San Rafael Redevelopment Project Area.
In December 2009 of the former Agency exercised the redemption option of the Current Interest
Bonds. The outstanding balance of the Bonds was refunded, on a current basis, through the
issuance of the 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds as discussed below.
The Capital Appreciation Bonds mature annually after December 1 from 2018 to 2022, in

2002 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds
On October 9, 2002, the former Agency issued Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds in the amount of
$25,020,000. The proceeds of the bonds were used to refund the 1992 Tax Allocation Refunding
Bonds and the 1995 Tax Allocation Bonds. The Bonds mature annually each December 1 from
2002 to 2022, in amounts ranging from $540,000 to $1,920,000 and bear interest at rates ranging
from 2.00% to 5.25%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. The Bonds
maturing on or after December 1, 2013, are subject to optional redemption prior to maturity, in
whole or in part, and by lot within any one maturity, prior to their respective maturity dates, on
any date on or after December 1, 2012, at a price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued
interest on the redemption date. The bonds are payable from tax revenues to be derived from the
redevelopment activities of the former Agency related to the Central San Rafael Redevelopment
Project Area.
2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds
On December 14, 2009, the former Agency issued 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds in the
amount of $14,660,000 bearing interest at rates from 3.00% to 5.00%. The proceeds of the Series
2009 Bonds were used to refund the former Agency’s 1999 Tax Allocation Current Interest
Bonds and to advance funds to the City to finance street and parking improvements for the benefit
of the Agency’s Central San Rafael Redevelopment Project. Principal payments are due annually
on December 30 and interest payable semiannually on June 30 and December 30.
The Series 2009 Bonds maturing on or before December 1, 2019, are not subject to optional
redemption prior to their respective stated maturities. The Series 2009 Bonds maturing on or
after December 1, 2020, are subject to optional redemption as a whole or in part either on a pro
rata basis among maturities or in inverse order of maturity, and by lot within any one maturity,
prior to their respective maturity dates, at the option of the Agency, on any date on or after
December 1, 2019, at a price equal to the principal amount of such Series 2009 Bonds called for
redemption, together with interest accrued on the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
Use of Tax Increment
The former Agency pledged all future tax increment revenues for the repayment of the 1999
Capital Appreciation Bonds, and the 2002 and 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds. The
pledge of all future tax increment revenues ends upon repayment of $3.6 million in remaining
debt service on the Bonds, which is scheduled to occur in 2023. For fiscal year June 30, 2022,
tax increment revenue amounted to $3.5 million which was used to make the debt service
payment of $3.6 million. The bond covenants contain events of default that require the revenue of
the Agency to be applied by the Trustee as specified in the terms of the agreement if any of the
following conditions occur: default on debt service payments; the failure of the Agency to
observe or perform the conditions, covenants, or agreement terms of the debt; bankruptcy filing
by the Agency; or if any court or competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the
Agency. The Agency’s bonds also contain a subjective acceleration clause that allows the trustees
or holders, who hold the majority of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, to accelerate
payment of the entire principal amount outstanding and interest accrued to become immediately
due if they determine that a material adverse change occurs.

State Approval of Enforceable Obligation
The Successor Agency prepares a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) semi-annually
that contains all proposed expenditures for the subsequent six-month period. The ROPS is subject to
the review and approval of the Oversight Board as well as the State Department of Finance. As of
June 30, 2021, the Successor Agency had prepared fourteen ROPS, all of which have been
approved by the Oversight Board and the California Department of Finance. The Department of
Finance has stated that all items on a future ROPS are subject to a subsequent review. The amount,
if any, of current obligations that may be denied by the Department of Finance cannot be
determined at this time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

The State Constitution requires property to be assessed at one hundred percent of the most recent purchase price, plus an increment of no more than two percent annually, plus any local over-rides. These
values are considered to be full market values.
California cities do not set their own direct tax rate. The state constitution establishes the rate at 1% and allocates a portion of that amount, by an annual calculation, to all the taxing entities within a tax rate
area.

(1) In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which
the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the
payment of any voter approved bonds.

California Government Code, Section 43605 sets the debt limit at 15%. The Code section was enacted prior to the change in
basing assessed value to full market value when it was previously 25% of market value. Thus, the limit shown as 3.75% is
one-fourth of that value.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON
APPLYING AGREED UPON PROCEDURES FOR
COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROPOSITION 111
2022-2023 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT INCREMENT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
We have performed the procedures enumerated below on the Appropriations Limit Worksheet (Worksheet)
of the City of San Rafael, California, for the year ended June 30, 2023. The City’s management is
responsible for the Worksheet.
The City has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the
intended purpose of these procedures, which were suggested by the League of California Cities and
presented in their Article XIIIB Appropriations Limitation Uniform Guidelines, were performed solely to
assist you in meeting the requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. This
report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all the items
of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users
are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes.
The procedures and associated findings are as follows:
A. We obtained the Worksheet (Exhibit B to the Resolution) and determined that the 2022-2023
Appropriations Limit of $170,762,486 and annual adjustment factors were adopted by Resolution of
the City Council. We also determined that the population and inflation options were selected by a
recorded vote of the City Council. However, the Resolution indicated that the percent change in
California’s per capita personal income was selected, but the Worksheet shows that the larger
adjustment factor of the change in assessment roll for nonresidential construction of Marin County
was used for the calculation of the 2022-2023 Appropriations Limit.
B. We recomputed the 2022-2023 Appropriations Limit by multiplying the 2021-2022 Prior Year
Appropriations Limit by the Total Growth Factor. We recomputed the Total Growth Factor by
multiplying the population option by the inflation option.
C. For the Worksheet, we agreed the Per Capita Income Factor, City Population Factor and County
Population Factor to California State Department of Finance Worksheets, and the Change in
Assessment Roll for Nonresidential Construction Factor to the Marin County Worksheet.
We were engaged by the City to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our
engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or review engagement,
the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Worksheet.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures,
other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
To the City Council of
the City of San Rafael, California
In planning and performing our audit of the basic financial statements of the City of San Rafael (City) as
of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, 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.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies and therefore material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were
not identified. In addition, because of inherent limitations in internal control, including the possibility of
management override of controls, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected by
such controls. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we
consider to be significant deficiencies.
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 City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We
did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
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. We consider the deficiency in internal control included on the Schedule of Significant
Deficiency to be a significant deficiency.
Included in the Schedule of Other Matters are recommendations not meeting the above definitions that we
believe are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency.
Government Auditing Standards require the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City’s response
to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying Schedule of Significant
Deficiency and Schedule of Other Matters. The City’s response was not subjected to the other auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the
response.

2022-01 Inaccurate Building Permit Fees
The rates charged in the City’s permit billing system should be consistent with the City’s Master Fee
Schedule approved by City Council and on the City’s website.
As noted in the prior year Memorandum on Internal Control comment 2021-01, we again noted that the
rates charged in the City’s permit billing system are not consistent with the City’s Master Fee Schedule
approved by City Council.
During the fiscal year 2022 audit, we tested twenty-five receipts and recalculated the fees using the City’s
Master Fee Schedule and noted five receipts for building permits that we recalculated, but could not
arrive at the same amount charged. Based on our recalculations using the City’s Master Fee Schedule, the
building permit fees that should have been charged, and the related amount undercharged were as follows:
Receipt Number
Building Permit Fee
Charged
Building Permit Fee That
Should Have Been
Charged Based on
Master Fee Schedule Undercharged
003-00001681 $3,997.00 $4,820.20 $(823.20)

003-00003680 918.10 1,251.64 (333.54)
003-00004064 947.50 1,285.60 (338.10)
We understand that the Community Development Department (CDD) staff determined that the Master
Fee Schedule approved by City Council and posted on the City’s website included incorrect building
permit fees and CDD staff believed that the correct fees had been charged.
We also noted one receipt for an investigation fee (receipt # 003-00003019) and one receipt for a building
permit renewal fee (receipt # 017-00001262) that were not listed on the revised Master Fee Schedule, nor
supported by an ordinance or resolution. The CDD staff indicated that the Master Fee Schedule is being
updated to incorporate these fees that were charged.
Although City staff believe that the correct fees were charged for the building permits, investigation fee
and building permit renewal fees, we were unable to verify that the correct fees were charged based on
the Master Fee Schedule approved by City Council. Therefore, the City’s building permit fees,
investigation fees, fire prevention inspection fees and building permit renewal fees revenues may be
understated.
We understand that the City plans to present an updated Master Fee Schedule to Council to ensure that
accurate charges are approved and presented on the City’s website. We recommend that the City develop
a process to ensure that the fees approved by City Council are properly entered into the City’s permit
billing system to ensure proper fees are charged. In addition, we recommend that the City ensure that the
Master Fee Schedule on the City’s website agrees to the Master Fee Schedule approved by City Council.

Management’s Response:
The City has been in process of resolving the issue and is currently undergoing a large-scale
revision to the master fee schedule which will be presented to council with the December 19,
2022, meeting. Going forward, when a fee change is approved by Council, Finance will
be responsible for ensuring the approved fee change has been uploaded to the website, the
changes have been entered into the billing system properly and the fee change is
implemented on the effective date approved by Council. To formalize this, Finance will
create a checklist and will require sign-off as each item is reviewed.

2022-02 Purchasing Policy Compliance and Clarification of Requirements
The City’s Purchasing Policy should indicate when the use of a purchase order, contract, or both is
required, including any exceptions, as necessary. The City’s Purchasing Policy defines a contract as
including, but not being “limited to, a purchase order, a contract for services, a contract for maintenance,
leasing of property or equipment, an addendum or change order, a letter agreement, a memorandum of
understanding, or memorandum of agreement.” The Purchasing Policy defines a purchase order as “a
standardized form to be utilized in contracts for materials, supplies, labor and equipment.” The
Purchasing Policy does not specify whether a purchase order and a contract are required for all purchases,
but we understand it is the City’s practice to obtain both documents for purchases.
During the fiscal year 2022 audit, we selected twenty-five disbursements for testing of supporting
documentation and compliance with the City’s Purchasing Policy and noted two disbursements for which
the disbursements were supported by a contract, however, they were not supported by a purchase order.
We also noted one disbursement that was supported by a purchase order, but not a contract. For similar
types of transactions tested, we noted that these types of disbursements were supported by both a
purchase order and a contract.
For one of the disbursements noted above, City staff indicated that the staff overseeing the initial project
and contract is no longer with the City and that a purchase order was not created for the vendor and
contract for the project due to a staff oversight. And, for the second disbursement noted above, City staff
indicated that they did not think it was necessary for a purchase order to be created as the vendor is used
for on-call repair sidewalk repair services. Lastly, for the third disbursement noted above, City staff
indicated that the purchase order was created without a contract, due to a staff oversight. Although that
appears reasonable, there does not appear to be such an exemption in the City’s Purchasing Policy for the
use of a contract, purchase order or both. Therefore, the City is not in compliance with the Purchasing
Policy for these purchases.
We recommend that the City ensure all purchases comply with purchase documentation requirements and
revise the Purchasing Policy to clarify those requirements to reflect current practices.
Management’s Response:
The City’s expanded use of purchase orders is relatively new to purchasing procedures within the
City and, as the City remains decentralized in administration of contracts and purchase orders,
departmental practices for use of purchase orders varies. The City will review its purchasing
policy and make and necessary amendments to develop a comprehensive purchasing policy to be
adhered to by all departments consistently.

2022-03 Current Contracts
The City should ensure that all contracts with outside parties are current.
During the fiscal year 2022 audit, we selected twenty-five disbursements for testing of supporting
documentation and noted one disbursement in the amount of $97,615 made to the Transportation
Authority of Marin, for which the most recent contract in place expired on January 1, 2011.
We understand that the City is currently working on a revised contract with the Transportation Authority
of Marin, however, the City should develop procedures to ensure that all contracts are current to ensure
that payments to outside parties are valid and properly supported.
Management’s Response:
The City considers the selected payment to be an anomaly, however, will perform a review of
contracts with local agencies to ensure the validity of the agreement. The updated agreement in
question is currently in process.

authoritative literature enables governments and other stakeholders to more easily locate and apply the
correct accounting and financial reporting provisions, which improves the consistency with which such
provisions are applied. The comparability of financial statements also will improve as a result of this
Statement. Better consistency and comparability improve the usefulness of information for users of state
and local government financial statements.

GASB 91 – Conduit Debt Obligations
The primary objectives of this Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt
obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by
issuers, (2) arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This
Statement achieves those objectives by clarifying the existing definition of a conduit debt obligation;
establishing that a conduit debt obligation is not a liability of the issuer; establishing standards for
accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments extended by
issuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note
disclosures.
A conduit debt obligation is defined as a debt instrument having all of the following characteristics:

(1) an issuer
(2) a third-party obligor, and
(3) a debt holder or a debt trustee.
The issuer and the third-party obligor are not within the same financial reporting entity.
The debt obligation is not a parity bond of the issuer, nor is it cross-collateralized with other debt
of the issuer.
The third-party obligor or its agent, not the issuer, ultimately receives the proceeds from the debt
issuance.
The third-party obligor, not the issuer, is primarily obligated for the payment of all amounts
associated with the debt obligation (debt service payments).
All conduit debt obligations involve the issuer making a limited commitment. Some issuers extend
additional commitments or voluntary commitments to support debt service in the event the third party is,
or will be, unable to do so.
An issuer should not recognize a conduit debt obligation as a liability. However, an issuer should
recognize a liability associated with an additional commitment or a voluntary commitment to support debt
service if certain recognition criteria are met. As long as a conduit debt obligation is outstanding, an
issuer that has made an additional commitment should evaluate at least annually whether those criteria are
met. An issuer that has made only a limited commitment should evaluate whether those criteria are met
when an event occurs that causes the issuer to reevaluate its willingness or ability to support the obligor’s
debt service through a voluntary commitment.
This Statement also addresses arrangements—often characterized as leases—that are associated with
conduit debt obligations. In those arrangements, capital assets are constructed or acquired with the
proceeds of a conduit debt obligation and used by third-party obligors in the course of their activities.
Payments from third-party obligors are intended to cover and coincide with debt service payments.
During those arrangements, issuers retain the titles to the capital assets. Those titles may or may not pass
to the obligors at the end of the arrangements.

GASB 91 – Conduit Debt Obligations (Continued)
Issuers should not report those arrangements as leases, nor should they recognize a liability for the related
conduit debt obligations or a receivable for the payments related to those arrangements. In addition, the
following provisions apply:
If the title passes to the third-party obligor at the end of the arrangement, an issuer should not
recognize a capital asset.
If the title does not pass to the third-party obligor and the third party has exclusive use of the
entire capital asset during the arrangement, the issuer should not recognize a capital asset until the
arrangement ends.
If the title does not pass to the third-party obligor and the third party has exclusive use of only
portions of the capital asset during the arrangement, the issuer, at the inception of the
arrangement, should recognize the entire capital asset and a deferred inflow of resources. The
deferred inflow of resources should be reduced, and an inflow recognized, in a systematic and
rational manner over the term of the arrangement.
This Statement requires issuers to disclose general information about their conduit debt obligations,
organized by type of commitment, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the issuers’
conduit debt obligations and a description of each type of commitment. Issuers that recognize liabilities
related to supporting the debt service of conduit debt obligations also should disclose information about
the amount recognized and how the liabilities changed during the reporting period.
How the Changes in this Statement will Improve Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by eliminating the existing option for
issuers to report conduit debt obligations as their own liabilities, thereby ending significant diversity in
practice. The clarified definition will resolve stakeholders’ uncertainty as to whether a given financing is,
in fact, a conduit debt obligation. Requiring issuers to recognize liabilities associated with additional
commitments extended by issuers and to recognize assets and deferred inflows of resources related to
certain arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations also will eliminate diversity, thereby
improving comparability in reporting by issuers. Revised disclosure requirements will provide financial
statement users with better information regarding the commitments issuers extend and the likelihood that
they will fulfill those commitments. That information will inform users of the potential impact of such
commitments on the financial resources of issuers and help users assess issuers’ roles in conduit debt
obligations.

GASB 94 – Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements
The primary objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by addressing issues related to
public-private and public-public partnership arrangements (PPPs). As used in this Statement, a PPP is an
arrangement in which a government (the transferor) contracts with an operator (a governmental or
nongovernmental entity) to provide public services by conveying control of the right to operate or use a
nonfinancial asset, such as infrastructure or other capital asset (the underlying PPP asset), for a period of
time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Some PPPs meet the definition of a service concession
arrangement (SCA), which the Board defines in this Statement as a PPP in which (1) the operator collects
and is compensated by fees from third parties; (2) the transferor determines or has the ability to modify or
approve which services the operator is required to provide, to whom the operator is required to provide
the services, and the prices or rates that can be charged for the services; and (3) the transferor is entitled to
significant residual interest in the service utility of the underlying PPP asset at the end of the arrangement.
This Statement also provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting for availability payment
arrangements (APAs). As defined in this Statement, an APA is an arrangement in which a government
compensates an operator for services that may include designing, constructing, financing, maintaining, or
operating an underlying nonfinancial asset for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like
transaction.
PPPs - This Statement requires that PPPs that meet the definition of a lease apply the guidance in
Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended, if existing assets of the transferor that are not required to be
improved by the operator as part of the PPP arrangement are the only underlying PPP assets and the PPP
does not meet the definition of an SCA. This Statement provides accounting and financial reporting
requirements for all other PPPs: those that either (1) meet the definition of an SCA or (2) are not within
the scope of Statement 87, as amended (as clarified by this Statement). The PPP term is defined as the
period during which an operator has a noncancellable right to use an underlying PPP asset, plus, if
applicable, certain periods if it is reasonably certain, based on all relevant factors, that the transferor or the
operator either will exercise an option to extend the PPP or will not exercise an option to terminate the
PPP.
A transferor generally should recognize an underlying PPP asset as an asset in financial statements
prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. However, in the case of an underlying PPP
asset that is not owned by the transferor or is not the underlying asset of an SCA, a transferor should
recognize a receivable measured based on the operator’s estimated carrying value of the underlying PPP
asset as of the expected date of the transfer in ownership. In addition, a transferor should recognize a
receivable for installment payments, if any, to be received from the operator in relation to the PPP.
Measurement of a receivable for installment payments should be at the present value of the payments
expected to be received during the PPP term. A transferor also should recognize a deferred inflow of
resources for the consideration received or to be received by the transferor as part of the PPP. Revenue
should be recognized by a transferor in a systematic and rational manner over the PPP term.
This Statement requires a transferor to recognize a receivable for installment payments and a deferred
inflow of resources to account for a PPP in financial statements prepared using the current financial
resources measurement focus. Governmental fund revenue would be recognized in a systematic and
rational manner over the PPP term.

(Continued)
This Statement also provides specific guidance in financial statements prepared using the economic
resources measurement focus for a government that is an operator in a PPP that either (1) meets the
definition of an SCA or (2) is not within the scope of Statement 87, as amended (as clarified in this
Statement). An operator should report an intangible right-to-use asset related to an underlying PPP asset
that either is owned by the transferor or is the underlying asset of an SCA. Measurement of the right-to-
use asset should be the amount of consideration to be provided to the transferor, plus any payments made
to the transferor at or before the commencement of the PPP term, and certain direct costs. For an
underlying PPP asset that is not owned by the transferor and is not the underlying asset of an SCA, an
operator should recognize a liability measured based on the estimated carrying value of the underlying
PPP asset as of the expected date of the transfer in ownership. In addition, an operator should recognize a
liability for installment payments, if any, to be made to the transferor in relation to the PPP. Measurement
of a liability for installment payments should be at the present value of the payments expected to be made
during the PPP term. An operator also should recognize a deferred outflow of resources for the
consideration provided or to be provided to the transferor as part of the PPP. Expense should be
recognized by an operator in a systematic and rational manner over the PPP term.
This Statement also requires a government to account for PPP and non-PPP components of a PPP as
separate contracts. If a PPP involves multiple underlying assets, a transferor and an operator in certain
cases should account for each underlying PPP asset as a separate PPP. To allocate the contract price to
different components, a transferor and an operator should use contract prices for individual components
as long as they do not appear to be unreasonable based on professional judgment or use professional
judgment to determine their best estimate if there are no stated prices or if stated prices appear to be
unreasonable. If determining the best estimate is not practicable, multiple components in a PPP should be
accounted for as a single PPP.
This Statement also requires an amendment to a PPP to be considered a PPP modification, unless the
operator’s right to use the underlying PPP asset decreases, in which case it should be considered a partial
or full PPP termination. A PPP termination should be accounted for by a transferor by reducing, as
applicable, any receivable for installment payments or any receivable related to the transfer of ownership
of the underlying PPP asset and by reducing the related deferred inflow of resources. An operator should
account for a termination by reducing the carrying value of the right-to-use asset and, as applicable, any
liability for installment payments or liability to transfer ownership of the underlying PPP asset. A PPP
modification that does not qualify as a separate PPP should be accounted for by remeasuring PPP assets
and liabilities.
APAs - An APA that is related to designing, constructing, and financing a nonfinancial asset in which
ownership of the asset transfers by the end of the contract should be accounted for by a government as a
financed purchase of the underlying nonfinancial asset. This Statement requires a government that
engaged in an APA that contains multiple components to recognize each component as a separate
arrangement. An APA that is related to operating or maintaining a nonfinancial asset should be reported
by a government as an outflow of resources in the period to which payments relate.

GASB 96 – Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements
This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription-based
information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments). This Statement
(1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes that a SBITA results in a right-to-use subscription asset—an
intangible asset—and a corresponding subscription liability; (3) provides the capitalization criteria for
outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation costs of a SBITA; and (4) requires
note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant, the standards for SBITAs are based on the
standards established in Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended.
A SBITA is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a SBITA
vendor’s) information technology (IT) software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the
underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like
transaction.
The subscription term includes the period during which a government has a noncancelable right to use the
underlying IT assets. The subscription term also includes periods covered by an option to extend (if it is
reasonably certain that the government or SBITA vendor will exercise that option) or to terminate (if it is
reasonably certain that the government or SBITA vendor will not exercise that option).
Under this Statement, a government generally should recognize a right-to-use subscription asset—an
intangible asset—and a corresponding subscription liability. A government should recognize the
subscription liability at the commencement of the subscription term, —which is when the subscription
asset is placed into service. The subscription liability should be initially measured at the present value of
subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Future subscription payments
should be discounted using the interest rate the SBITA vendor charges the government, which may be
implicit, or the government’s incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate is not readily determinable. A
government should recognize amortization of the discount on the subscription liability as an outflow of
resources (for example, interest expense) in subsequent financial reporting periods.
The subscription asset should be initially measured as the sum of (1) the initial subscription liability
amount, (2) payments made to the SBITA vendor before commencement of the subscription term, and (3)
capitalizable implementation costs, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the
commencement of the subscription term. A government should recognize amortization of the subscription
asset as an outflow of resources over the subscription term.
Activities associated with a SBITA, other than making subscription payments, should be grouped into the
following three stages, and their costs should be accounted for accordingly:
Preliminary Project Stage, including activities such as evaluating alternatives, determining needed
technology, and selecting a SBITA vendor. Outlays in this stage should be expensed as incurred.
Initial Implementation Stage, including all ancillary charges necessary to place the subscription
asset into service. Outlays in this stage generally should be capitalized as an addition to the
subscription asset.

SCHEDULE OF OTHER MATTERS
GASB 96 – Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (Continued)
Operation and Additional Implementation Stage, including activities such as subsequent
implementation activities, maintenance, and other activities for a government’s ongoing
operations related to a SBITA. Outlays in this stage should be expensed as incurred unless they
meet specific capitalization criteria.
In classifying certain outlays into the appropriate stage, the nature of the activity should be the
determining factor. Training costs should be expensed as incurred, regardless of the stage in which they
are incurred.
If a SBITA contract contains multiple components, a government should account for each component as a
separate SBITA or nonsubscription component and allocate the contract price to the different
components. If it is not practicable to determine a best estimate for price allocation for some or all
components in the contract, a government should account for those components as a single SBITA.
This Statement provides an exception for short-term SBITAs. Short-term SBITAs have a maximum
possible term under the SBITA contract of 12 months (or less), including any options to extend,
regardless of their probability of being exercised. Subscription payments for short-term SBITAs should
be recognized as outflows of resources.
This Statement requires a government to disclose descriptive information about its SBITAs other than
short-term SBITAs, such as the amount of the subscription asset, accumulated amortization, other
payments not included in the measurement of a subscription liability, principal and interest requirements
for the subscription liability, and other essential information.
How the Changes in this Statement will Improve Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by establishing a definition for
SBITAs and providing uniform guidance for accounting and financial reporting for transactions that meet
that definition. That definition and uniform guidance will result in greater consistency in practice.
Establishing the capitalization criteria for implementation costs also will reduce diversity and improve
comparability in financial reporting by governments. This Statement also will enhance the relevance and
reliability of a government’s financial statements by requiring a government to report a subscription asset
and subscription liability for a SBITA and to disclose essential information about the arrangement. The
disclosures will allow users to understand the scale and important aspects of a government’s SBITA
activities and evaluate a government’s obligations and assets resulting from SBITAs.

GASB 100 – Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections
The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for
accounting changes and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent,
and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability
This Statement defines accounting changes as changes in accounting principles, changes in accounting
estimates, and changes to or within the financial reporting entity and describes the transactions or other
events that constitute those changes. As part of those descriptions, for (1) certain changes in accounting
principles and (2) certain changes in accounting estimates that result from a change in measurement
methodology, a new principle or methodology should be justified on the basis that it is preferable to the
principle or methodology used before the change. That preferability should be based on the qualitative
characteristics of financial reporting—understandability, reliability, relevance, timeliness, consistency,
and comparability. This Statement also addresses corrections of errors in previously issued financial
statements.
This Statement prescribes the accounting and financial reporting for (1) each type of accounting change
and (2) error corrections. This Statement requires that (a) changes in accounting principles and error
corrections be reported retroactively by restating prior periods, (b) changes to or within the financial
reporting entity be reported by adjusting beginning balances of the current period, and (c) changes in
accounting estimates be reported prospectively by recognizing the change in the current period. The
requirements of this Statement for changes in accounting principles apply to the implementation of a new
pronouncement in absence of specific transition provisions in the new pronouncement. This Statement
also requires that the aggregate amount of adjustments to and restatements of beginning net position, fund
balance, or fund net position, as applicable, be displayed by reporting unit in the financial statements.
This Statement requires disclosure in notes to financial statements of descriptive information about
accounting changes and error corrections, such as their nature. In addition, information about the
quantitative effects on beginning balances of each accounting change and error correction should be
disclosed by reporting unit in a tabular format to reconcile beginning balances as previously reported to
beginning balances as restated.
Furthermore, this Statement addresses how information that is affected by a change in accounting
principle or error correction should be presented in required supplementary information (RSI) and
supplementary information (SI). For periods that are earlier than those included in the basic financial
statements, information presented in RSI or SI should be restated for error corrections, if practicable, but
not for changes in accounting principles.

GASB 101 – Compensated Absences
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by
updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is
achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending
certain previously required disclosures.
Recognition And Measurement
This Statement requires that liabilities for compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not
been used and (2) leave that has been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means. A
liability should be recognized for leave that has not been used if (a) the leave is attributable to services
already rendered, (b) the leave accumulates, and (c) the leave is more likely than not to be used for time
off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means. Leave is attributable to services already
rendered when an employee has performed the services required to earn the leave. Leave that accumulates
is carried forward from the reporting period in which it is earned to a future reporting period during which
it may be used for time off or otherwise paid or settled. In estimating the leave that is more likely than not
to be used or otherwise paid or settled, a government should consider relevant factors such as
employment policies related to compensated absences and historical information about the use or
payment of compensated absences. However, leave that is more likely than not to be settled through
conversion to defined benefit postemployment benefits should not be included in a liability for
compensated absences.
This Statement requires that a liability for certain types of compensated absences—including parental
leave, military leave, and jury duty leave—not be recognized until the leave commences. This Statement
also requires that a liability for specific types of compensated absences not be recognized until the leave
is used.
This Statement also establishes guidance for measuring a liability for leave that has not been used,
generally using an employee’s pay rate as of the date of the financial statements. A liability for leave that
has been used but not yet paid or settled should be measured at the amount of the cash payment or
noncash settlement to be made. Certain salary-related payments that are directly and incrementally
associated with payments for leave also should be included in the measurement of the liabilities.
With respect to financial statements prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus,
this Statement requires that expenditures be recognized for the amount that normally would be liquidated
with expendable available financial resources.
Notes To Financial Statements
This Statement amends the existing requirement to disclose the gross increases and decreases in a liability
for compensated absences to allow governments to disclose only the net change in the liability (as long as
they identify it as a net change). In addition, governments are no longer required to disclose which
governmental funds typically have been used to liquidate the liability for compensated absences.

addition, the model can be applied consistently to any type of compensated absence and will eliminate
potential comparability issues between governments that offer different types of leave.
The model also will result in a more robust estimate of the amount of compensated absences that a
government will pay or settle, which will enhance the relevance and reliability of information about the
liability for compensated absences.

2021-01 Inaccurate Building Permit Fees
The rates charged in the City’s permit billing system should be consistent with the City’s Master Fee
Schedule approved by City Council and on the City’s website.
We tested twenty-five receipts and recalculated the fees using the City’s Master Fee Schedule and we
noted one receipt for a building permit in the amount of $78,946 that we recalculated, but could not arrive
at the same amount. Based on our recalculation using the City’s Master Fee Schedule, the building permit
fee that should have been charged was $83,137.
The Community Development Department (CDD) staff determined that the Master Fee Schedule
approved by City Council and posted on the City’s website included incorrect building permit fees and
CDD staff believed that the correct fees had been charged, resulting in the fee of $78,946.
Although City staff believe that the correct fees were charged, we were unable to verify that the correct
fees were charged based on the Master Fee Schedule approved by City Council. Therefore, the City’s
building permit fees may be understated due to the use of a lower fee schedule.
We understand that the City plans to present an updated Master Fee Schedule to Council to ensure that
accurate charges are approved and presented on the City website. We recommend that the City develop a
process to ensure that the fees approved by City Council are properly entered into the City’s permit
billing system to ensure proper fees are charged. In addition, we recommend that the City ensure that the
Master Fee Schedule on the City’s website agree to the Master Fee Schedule approved by City Council.

2021-02 Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Preparation
The City should report all Federal awards expended in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
(SEFA) each fiscal year in accordance with the requirements of OMB Uniform Administrative
Requirements Subpart D Section 200.302(b)(1).
During our testing of the City’s June 30, 2020 SEFA provided for our audit, we noted that the City
incorrectly included non-federal expenditure amounts in the SEFA. After further research by the City, it was
determined that the SEFA overstated federal expenditures of $299,054 for the Highway Planning and
Construction Program (CFDA # 20.205) and $398,282 for the Disaster Grants Program (CFDA # 97.036).
After those corrections were made, it was determined that the City did not need a Single Audit for the year
ended June 30, 2020.
We understand that the City accounts for federal award expenditures in the same general ledger accounts
that the City accounts for local match expenditures. During the preparation of the SEFA by the City’s
outside consultant, the entire account balance was used, and the amounts reported did not exclude the non-
federal amounts.
Incorrect reporting not only misstates the SEFA, but it also means the City is not in compliance with the
reporting requirements of the OMB Uniform Administrative Requirements. As a result, future federal
funding could be adversely affected.

To the City Council of
the City of San Rafael, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of San Rafael (City) for the year ended June
30, 2022. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities
under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform
Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have
communicated such information in our letter to you dated July 20, 2022. Professional standards also
require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Accounting Policies - 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 year, except as follows:
GASB 87 – Leases
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement
users by improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement
increases the usefulness of governments’ financial statements by requiring recognition of certain
lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and
recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of
the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle
that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is
required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is
required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the
relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities.
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s
nonfinancial asset (the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an
exchange or exchange-like transaction. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land,
vehicles, and equipment. Any contract that meets this definition should be accounted for under
the leases guidance, unless specifically excluded in this Statement.
The pronouncement became effective, and as disclosed in Note 1S to the financial statements
required a prior period restatement for the cumulative effect on the financial statements.

Unusual Transactions, Controversial or Emerging Areas - 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 - 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 City’s
financial statements were:
Estimated Net Pension Asset (Liability) and Pension-Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of
Resources: Management’s estimates of the net pension asset (liability) and related deferred
outflows/inflows of resources are disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements and are based on
an actuarial study and accounting valuation determined by the Marin County Employees’
Retirement Association which are based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key
factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates and determined they are reasonable in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Net OPEB Liability and OPEB-Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources:
Management’s estimates of the net OPEB liability and related deferred outflows/inflows of
resources are disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements and are based on an actuarial study
determined by a consultant, which is based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key
factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates and determined they are reasonable in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimate of the depreciation: Management’s estimate of depreciation is based on useful lives
determined by management. These lives have been determined by management based on the
expected useful life of assets as disclosed in Note 1K to the financial statements. We evaluated
the key factors and assumptions used to develop the depreciation estimate and determined that it
is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Fair Value of Investments: As of June 30, 2022, cash and investments were measured
by fair value, as disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements. Fair value is essentially market
pricing in effect as of June 30, 2022. These fair values are not required to be adjusted for changes
in general market conditions occurring subsequent to June 30, 2022.

Estimated Long-Term Receivable from San Rafael Sanitation District: Management’s estimate of
the long-term receivable from the District is disclosed in Note 4F to the financial statements and
is based on the District’s estimated liability for pension and post-employment health care benefits
incurred by the City for the District staff, but not yet funded. We evaluated the key factors and
assumptions used to develop the long-term receivable from the District in determining that it is
reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Claims Liabilities: Management’s estimate of the claims liabilities payable is
disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements and is based on actuarial studies determined by a
consultant, which are based on the claims experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors
and assumptions used to develop the estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimate of Compensated Absences: Accrued compensated absences which are comprised of
accrued vacation, holiday, and certain other compensating time is estimated using accumulated
unpaid leave hours and hourly pay rates in effect at the end of the fiscal year as disclosed in Note
1L to the financial statements. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the
accrued compensated absences and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.
Disclosures - The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
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 clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of
management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements
detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or
in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely uncorrected misstatements identified
during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of
management. We have no such misstatements to report to the City Council.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the
course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in a management
representation letter dated November 21, 2022.

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 the required supplementary information that accompanies and
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 required supplementary information
and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the required supplementary information.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information that accompanies the financial statements,
but is not required supplementary information. With respect to this supplementary information, we made
certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the
information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the
information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared
and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the
financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the Introductory and Statistical Sections which accompany the financial
statements, but are not required supplementary information. 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 them.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the City of San Rafael Child Development
Program (Program) of the City of San Rafael, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and
the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Program’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 Program as of June 30, 2022, and the changes in financial position 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 requirement 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’s for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Program’s ability to continue as
a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any known information
that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. 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, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to 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 Program’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 aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about the Program’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.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the basic financial statements that
collective comprise the Program’s basic financial statements. The accompanying Supplementary
Information, as listed in the Table of Contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is 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 and in conformity with the CDE
Audit Guide, issued by the California Department of Education, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Supplementary
Information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 1,
2022 on our consideration of the Program’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 solely 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
effectiveness of the Program’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering
the Program’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Notes to the Basic Financials Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
The City of San Rafael operates the Child Development Program encompassing eight childcare
centers within the City of San Rafael. One of these centers provides day care services to subsidized
families under the Child Development Program funded by the California Department of Education,
which includes the Preschool program. The City is financially accountable for the activities of the
Program. The Program has no employees and substantially all staff services which it requires are
performed by the City's personnel. Costs incurred by the City to provide such services including
compensation, retirement, and other benefit costs are reimbursed by the Program. These basic
financial statements present only the activities of the Program and are not intended to present the
financial position of the City of San Rafael, California, or the results of its operations. The
financial statements of the Program are included as a Special Revenue Fund in the City's financial
statements.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Basis of Accounting
The accounting and reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus.
Governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or “current financial resources” measurement
focus. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance
sheets. Operating statements of governmental funds present increases (revenues and other financial
sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financial uses) in net current assets.
The Program’s financial activities are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all
revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within
sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred.
Revenues considered susceptible to accrual include charges for services, federal and state grants,
and interest. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred,
if measurable.
B. Fund Balance
Fund Balance is the excess of all the Program’s assets over all its liabilities.
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Notes to the Basic Financials Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City categorizes
its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used
to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair
value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs – other than quoted prices included within level 1 – that are
observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair
value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
NOTE 3 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The Program’s cash is included in a City-wide cash and investment pool, the details of which are
presented in the City’s basic financial statements. The Program pools cash from all sources with the
City of San Rafael so that it can be invested at the maximum yield, consistent with safety and
liquidity, while individual funds can make expenditures at any time. The City’s investment policy
and the California Government Code permit investments in Securities of the U.S. Government or its
agencies, Certificates of Deposit, Negotiable Certificates of Deposit, Banker’s Acceptances,
Commercial Paper, the State of California Local Authority Investment Fund (LAIF Pool), Repurchase
Agreements, Medium-Term Corporate Notes, Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds related to
special assessment districts and special tax districts, and Money Market/Mutual Funds.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to
measure fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in an active market for identical
assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs. The City of San Rafael pooled investments is an uncategorized input not defined
as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 input.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
NOTE 4 – GRANTS RECEIVABLE
The Program has the following grants receivable at June 30, 2022:
Agency Grant Amount
arin County First 5 Grant $36,622
lifornia Department of Education State Preschool Program 67,753
Total $104,375
NOTE 5 – FUND BALANCES
Governmental fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net current assets
generally represent a fund’s cash and receivables, less its liabilities.
The City’s fund balances are classified based on spending constraints imposed on the use of
resources. For programs with multiple funding sources, the City prioritizes and expends funds in
the following order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Each category in the
following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint.
Nonspendable represents balances set aside to indicate items do not represent available, spendable
resources even though they are a component of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained
intact, such as Permanent Funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids,
notes receivable, and land held for redevelopment are included. However, if proceeds realized from
the sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed or assigned, then
Nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors,
laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for a specific
purpose. Nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable resources.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by formal action of the City Council which may
be altered only by formal action of the City Council. Nonspendable amounts subject to council
commitments are included along with spendable resources.
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific
purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council or its
designee and may be changed at the discretion of the City Council or its designee. This category
includes nonspendables, when it is the City’s intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific
purpose, and residual fund balances, if any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service
Funds which have not been restricted or committed.
Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or
assigned. This includes the residual general fund balance and residual fund deficits, if any, of other
governmental funds.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Notes to the Basic Financials Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2022
NOTE 6 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The Program participates in Federal, State and County grant programs that are fully or partially
funded by grants received from other governmental units. Expenditures financed by grants are
subject to audit by the appropriate grantor government. If expenditures are disallowed due to
noncompliance with grantor program regulations, the City may be required to reimburse the grantor
government. As of June 30, 2022, some amounts of grant expenditures have not been audited, but
the City believes that disallowed expenditures, if any, based on subsequent audits will not have a
material effect on any individual governmental funds or the overall financial condition of the City.

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
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, 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 basic financial statements of the City of San
Rafael Child Development Program (Program), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and
have issued our report thereon dated November 1, 2022.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Program's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing of 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 Program’s internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Program’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 Program’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weakness
or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Program'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
financial statements. 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 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 Program’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 Program’s internal control and compliance.
Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
