INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT City Council of the City of Atascadero Atascadero, 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 major funds, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Atascadero, as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Atascadero’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the major funds, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Atascadero, as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, for the fiscal 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 of Atascadero and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City of Atascadero’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.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
· Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Atascadero’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
1
· 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 of Atascadero’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison information the General Fund and major special revenue funds, the schedule of changes in the OPEB liability and related ratios, the schedule of OPEB contributions, the schedule of the local government’s proportionate share of net pension liability, and the schedule of pension contributions, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or 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 inquires 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.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Atascadero’s basic financial statements. The major debt service fund budgetary schedule, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, and combining internal service funds financial statements, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The major debt service fund budgetary schedule, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, and combining internal service funds financial statements, are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or 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 major debt service fund budgetary schedule, combining and individual non-major fund financial statements and schedules, and combining internal service funds financial statements, are 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 January 11, 2025, on our consideration of the City of Atascadero’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
January 11, 2025
To the Honorable Mayor,
Members of the City Council, and
Residents of the City of Atascadero
It is our pleasure to present to you the annual financial statements of the City of Atascadero, California, for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2024. The City
prepares a complete set of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) after the end of each fiscal year.
This discussion and analysis of the City of Atascadero’s financial performance provides an overview of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2024. For the most complete picture of the City, please read this document in conjunction with the City’s basic financial statements and the
accompanying notes to the basic financial statements. The City’s financial statements are available at City Hall offices and at the City’s website at
www.atascadero.org.
Financial Highlights
City total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of June 30, 2024, by about $235.5
million. Of this amount, $180.7 million is net investment in capital assets, $41.6 million is restricted for various purposes, and $13.3 million is unrestricted.
Capital projects expenditures were about $10.2 million more than the amount spent in the prior fiscal year due primarily to timing and status of the two
bridge projects (Via Road and Santa Lucia Road), many different road rehabilitation projects that were ongoing including the Downtown Infrastructure
Enhancement Plan and the Downtown District Pavement Rehabilitation, and the Wastewater Lift Station #13 Forcemain Realignment Project.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $62 million, a decrease of about
$300,000 from the prior fiscal year. Approximately $41.7 million of the total is not available for more general spending because it represents amounts
that are already obligated or restricted. About $20.3 million of the ending fund balance is available for future obligations.
City of Atascadero
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024

Financial Highlights (continued)
• The City’s compensated absences due to employees increased by about $114,200, and the City’s total long-term liabilities increased by about $2.5
million. This increase was primarily due to the City’s change in CalPERS Net Pension Liability. For additional information, see Note 8 in the Notes to
the Financial Statements.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $21,044,476 or 54% of total general fund expenditures,
$3,341,512 of which is related to the Sales Tax Measure F-14 funding.
• On April 18, 2024, the Successor Agency to the Community Redevelopment Agency of Atascadero issued $15.43 million in Series 2024A Tax Allocation
Refunding Bonds and $1.405 million in Series 2024B Taxable Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds to refund the 2004 Tax Allocation Bonds and the 2010
Lease Revenue Bonds. The 2004 and 2010 Series bonds were defeased on July 16, 2024.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The financial statements presented herein include the activities of the City of Atascadero using the integrated approach as prescribed by Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide Financial Statements present a broad overview of the financial picture of the City from the economic resources measurement focus
using the accrual basis of accounting. They present governmental activities and business-type activities separately. These statements include all assets of the
City (including infrastructure) as well as all liabilities (including long-term liabilities). Additionally, certain eliminations have occurred as prescribed by GASB
Statement No. 34 in regard to interfund activity, payables, and receivables.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, and deferred inflows, with the difference reported as
net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as an indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Atascadero is improving
or declining.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net
position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.
Both of the Government-wide Financial Statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues
(governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees or are required by grantor
agencies to be accounted for in this fashion (business-type activities).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024

Government-Wide Financial Statements (continued)
The governmental activities include police, fire, parks, recreation, community development, public works, and general government activities. Property and sales
taxes, user fees, interest income, franchise fees, and state and federal grants finance these activities. The business-type activities include wastewater and
transit.
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements present the City (the primary government).
The City previously had a component unit (the Community Redevelopment Agency of Atascadero) through January 31, 2012, for which the government was
considered to be financially accountable. Effective February 1, 2012, Assembly Bill AB 1x26, as modified by the California Supreme Court, dissolved
redevelopment agencies in California. All assets and liabilities were required to be transferred to the corresponding Successor Agency identified in each
community. In Atascadero, the City became the Successor Agency and holds these assets and liabilities in Private Purpose Trust. See Note 15 in the Notes
to the Financial Statements for further details on the Successor Agency. The City has no component units that require discrete presentation in accordance with
GASB Statement No. 14, as amended by GASB Statements No. 39, No. 61, No. 80, and No. 90.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a group of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of
Atascadero, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The
funds of the City are divided into three categories of activities – governmental, proprietary, and private purpose trust funds.
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 financing requirements.
Because the focus of Governmental Fund Financial Statements is narrower than that of the Government-wide Financial Statements, it is useful to compare the
information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental 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 funds balance sheet
and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains multiple individual governmental funds. Information for the General Fund is presented separately in the governmental funds balance sheet
and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. The General Fund, the Local Transportation Fund, the
Circulation System Fees Fund, and the 2010 Bond Debt Service Fund are considered to be the major governmental funds. Data from the other nonmajor
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data, including budgetary information, for each of these nonmajor
governmental funds are provided in the combining financial statements under the supplementary information section.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024

Governmental Funds (continued)
A budget comparison statement has been provided to demonstrate compliance with the budget. Budgetary information for the major governmental funds has
been provided under the required supplementary information section.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary Funds provide the same type of information as the business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements, except that the Proprietary
Funds provide greater detail. The City maintains two types of Proprietary Funds: Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds. The City’s Enterprise Funds are
the same as the business-type activities reported in the Government-wide Financial Statements: Transit and Wastewater. The City uses Internal Service Funds
to report activities that provide supplies and services for the City’s other programs and activities. The City’s Internal Services Funds include the Technology
Fund, the Building Maintenance and Replacement Fund, and the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund. The Internal Service Funds are combined into
one column within the Proprietary Funds statements and then are combined with governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements.
Private Purpose Trust Funds
Private Purpose Trust Funds are used to account for monies held on behalf of others in a fiduciary capacity. The City uses private purpose trust funds to
account for the Successor Agency of the Former Redevelopment Agency which was dissolved on January 31, 2012, pursuant to state law. All resources of the
funds are used to support specified activities.
Notes to the Basic 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.
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City of Atascadero, assets and
deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by about $235.5 million at the close of the most recent fiscal year.

Deferred inflows
The largest portion of the City’s net position (77%) reflects its investment in capital assets, less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still
outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the
City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other
sources, since the capital assets themselves usually are not used to liquidate these liabilities.

Government-Wide Financial Analysis (continued)
An additional 18% of the City’s net position represents resources subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining 5% ($13,286,177)
is considered unrestricted and may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. There was an increase of $1,578,364 in unrestricted
net position from fiscal year 2022-2023 to 2023-2024.
Consistent with the prior fiscal year, as of the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in both categories of net position, for both
the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities.
During the current fiscal year, the City’s net position increased by about $16.4 million. Information about changes in net position is summarized below:

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Atascadero uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is
useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements.

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds (continued)
Governmental Funds (continued)
As of June 30, 2024, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $62,082,318. Of this total, $106,006 cannot be spent because
it is in a non-spendable form and/or a non-cash form such as prepaid items, deposits, and inventory. The City’s governmental funds Unassigned Fund Balance
is $20,336,815. The General Fund portion of this, $21,044,476, is available for any purpose. The remaining Unassigned Fund Balance is the amount of the
Fire Aerial Vehicle Impact Fees Fund where expenditures were made prior to receipt of restricted revenues. The Restricted Fund Balance of $41,541,836
includes amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government), through constitutional
provisions, or by enabling legislation. The Assigned fund balance, $97,661, is the amount the City intends to use for road projects.
General Fund – The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At June 30, 2024, the total fund balance was $21,228,656 and the spendable
unassigned fund balance was 99% of the total. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare total fund balance to total fund
expenditures. The total General Fund balance represents 54% of fund expenditures. The General Fund balance increased $42,021 during the fiscal year.
Local Transportation Fund – This fund accounts for Local Transportation funds that can be used for streets projects. Local Transportation Funds (LTF) must
first be spent to meet any reasonable community transit need. The City uses LTF monies to run the City's bus system and to contribute to San Luis Obispo
Regional Transit Authority. Any remaining funds are accounted for in this fund and must be used for bikepath projects and streets projects. The fund balance
at June 30, 2024, was $7,816,351, down $737,997 from the prior fiscal year. The decreased fund balance is primarily due to some large projects including the
Downtown Infrastructure Enhancement Plan and the Downtown District Paving Rehabilitation project.
Circulation System Fees Fund – This fund accounts for fees that are paid by developers to fund the creation of more lane miles or more efficient lane miles
with which to accommodate the additional trips created by new development. These fees are expended for the construction of new/increased/improved roadway
and bridge facilities. The fund balance at June 30, 2024, was $3,238,182, up $466,616 from the prior fiscal year.
2010 Bond Debt Service Fund – The 2010 Bond Debt Service Fund accounts for all of the advances receivable from the Successor Agency and the debt
service payments for the Lease Revenue Bonds that were issued on September 1, 2010. At June 30, 2024, the total fund balance was $13,637,821, which
reflects $13.5 million in advances receivable from the Successor Agency. See Notes 8 and 15 to the financial statements for additional information on the
Successor Agency and the bond issue. These bonds were defeased on July 16, 2024.
Other Governmental Funds – These are nonmajor funds of the City and are presented in the basic financial statements in the aggregate and in detail in the
supplementary section of this report. At June 30, 2024, these funds had an aggregate fund balance of $16,161,308. Of this total, $19,982 is non-spendable,
$97,661 is assigned for specific uses, and ($707,661) is unassigned. The Restricted Fund Balance is $16,751,326. More information about these nonmajor
funds can be found in the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules.
Proprietary Funds
The City’s two enterprise funds provide the same type of information found in the Government-wide Financial Statements, but in more detail. Highlights of the
annual activity for these funds have already been presented in the discussion of the business-type activities.

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds (continued)
Debt Administration
Debt, considered a liability of governmental and business-type activities, increased in fiscal year 2023-2024 by $2,454,894, primarily due to the large increase
in the CalPERS Net Pension Liability, as required to be reported by GASB Statement No. 68. The CalPERS Net Pension Liability increased about $2.7 million
from the prior fiscal year mainly due to the changes in the pool including the small asset loss in 2022/2023 (investment return for the year was 6.1% while
CalPERS expected 6.9%, for a loss of 0.8%), the loss due to experience worse than expected (mainly driven by high inflation and COLAs), annual pension
liability growth with normal cost (portion of pension benefits the City’s active employees earn during the year), and the interest on the net pension liability. See
Note 9 for additional information on CalPERS. Total compensated absences were up about $114,000, but this increase was offset by a decrease in the
Subscription Liability of $164,891 and a reduction in bonds payable. The Net Pension Liability for Governmental Activities at the end of the fiscal year was
$36,809,496 and $931,601 for Business-type Activities.
Cash Management
To obtain flexibility in cash management, the City employs a pooled cash system. Under the pooled cash concept, the City invests the cash of all funds with
maturities planned to coincide with cash needs. Idle cash is invested in certain eligible securities as constrained by law and further limited by the City’s
Investment Policy. The goals of the City’s Investment Policy are safety, liquidity, and yield.
Capital Assets
The capital assets of the City are those assets that are used in the performance of the City’s functions, including infrastructure assets. At June 30, 2024, net
capital assets of the governmental activities totaled $160,049,256 and the net capital assets of the business-type activities totaled $20,649,800. Depreciation
and amortization on capital assets is recognized in the Government-wide Financial Statements. The City has elected to depreciate its infrastructure assets. In
order to depreciate the infrastructure assets, an estimated useful life for each type of asset was determined using engineering standards, industry standards,
as well as discussions with City staff regarding the City’s maintenance program for each asset type. This allowed the estimated useful life of each asset type
to be tailored to include the unique attributes of the City of Atascadero.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
A detailed budgetary comparison schedule for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, is presented in the required supplementary information to the basic financial
statements. The final budget amounts (which are the focus of this discussion) are different from those presented in the 2023-2025 budget document. This is
due to changes that occurred between the time that the budget was prepared and fiscal year-end final budget approvals.
The following summarizes the original and final budget compared with actual results for 2023-2024:

City of Atascadero
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024
13
Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds (continued)
Both revenue and expenditure budgets were increased during the year. During the course of the fiscal year, the City Council approved an additional allocation
of $305,000 for Zoo Accreditation expenses. The bulk of the remaining increases were due to special and capital projects that were budgeted but not expended
in the prior year and therefore were moved to fiscal year 2023-2024. Some of the larger projects include the General Plan Update, the Economic Development
Restaurant Loan Program, and the Broadband Development Project. Almost $2.2 million in General Fund budgeted special and capital project for fiscal year
2023-2024 were not spent during the year will carry over to be used in fiscal year 2024-2025.
Economic Factors and Next Fiscal Year’s Budget
The City’s revenues are influenced by the local and national economies. The surrounding economy is currently stable and expected to continue a slow but
steady growth trend. Atascadero is anticipated to see more growth with the Council’s focus on economic development and important infrastructure projects like
the Downtown Infrastructure Enhancement Project that continue to spur growth in the City. The community’s vote to pass Sales Tax Measure D-20 has had a
positive impact on the organization and has made possible many of the great improvements the City now enjoys.
Economic factors and key issues and trends that affect the budget include:
Sales Tax Measure D-20 This is a general purpose one-cent transaction tax that was effective April 1, 2021. It will continue to be used primarily for essential
City services. Revenue in fiscal year 2023-24 from this relatively new revenue source was about $6.5 million.
Public Safety The City and the community strongly support investments in Police and Fire services. Measure D-20 has provided much needed funding for
additional investments in increased staffing levels, vehicle and equipment replacement, the funding for the replacement of Fire Station #1, and upgrades to the
Police Station and Fire Station #2.
Staffing Retention and Attraction Efforts to retain and attract quality staff were key in the development of the budget, with the intention to increase staff
efficiencies, provide improved services to the public, and reduce long-term hiring costs.
Investments in Infrastructure, Internal Replacement Reserves, and Broadband Enhancement The budget includes substantial investments in infrastructure
including the Downtown Infrastructure Enhancement Project, vehicles and equipment replacement and reserves, and funding for Broadband enhancement.
CalPERS Retirement Costs The City’s combined unfunded accrued liability (UAL) for 2023-2024 was about $2.7 million and CalPERS currently estimates that
the fiscal year 2024-2025 payment will be approximately $3.3 million. These UAL payments represent approximately 12% and 14%, respectively, of total
general fund costs of labor for the associated year. At this time and based on current assumptions, CalPERS is projecting the UAL will continue increasing
through fiscal year 2030-2031. The normal costs rates are also expected to continue to grow.
The 2023-2024 budget is lean, smart, and will make the best of the City’s limited resources. In preparing the budget, the objective was to provide an effective
plan to maintain the Council goals and the City’s core services. The Council’s top priorities are:
• Economic and Community Vibrancy
• Fiscal and Infrastructure Efficiency and Sustainability
• Ensuring Public Safety and Providing Exceptional City Services
To accomplish these goals, the 2024-2025 budget includes the planned use of $800,000 in reserves, in accordance with the Council’s financial strategy.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CITY OF ATASCADERO NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2024

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity The accompanying basic financial statements present the financial activity of the City, which is the primary government. The reporting entity is the City of Atascadero. There are no component units included in this report which meet the reporting entity definition criteria of GASB Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, as amended by GASB Statement No. 39, GASB Statement No. 61, GASB Statement No. 80, and GASB Statement No. 90.
B. Basis of Presentation The City’s basic financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board is the acknowledged standard-setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements are presented on the basis set forth in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 34, Basic
Financial Statements—Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments; No. 36, Recipient Reporting for Certain Non-Exchange
Revenues, an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 33; No. 37, Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Government – Omnibus; and No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures.
These statements require that the financial statements described below be presented. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on the primary government
and its component unit. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and
charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted
to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and private purpose trust funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
CITY OF ATASCADERO NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2024
35
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) C. Major Funds
GASB Statement No. 34 defines major funds and requires that the City’s major governmental funds are identified and presented separately in the fund financial statements. All other funds, called nonmajor funds, are combined and reported in a single column, regardless of their fund-type. Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their fund-type total. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds. The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
General Fund This fund accounts for all financial resources except those to be accounted for in another fund. It is the general operating fund of the City. Local Transportation Fund This fund accounts for Local Transportation Funds that can be used for streets projects. Local Transportation Funds (LTF) must first be spent to meet any reasonable community transit need. The City uses the majority of LTF monies to run the City’s bus system and to contribute to San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority. Any remaining funds are accounted for in this fund and must be used for bikepath projects and street projects.
Circulation System Fees Fund This fund accounts for fees that are paid by developers to fund the creation of more lane miles or more efficient lane miles with which to accommodate the additional trips created by new development. These fees are expended for the construction of new/increased/improved roadway and bridge facilities. 2010 Bond Debt Service Fund This fund accounts for the debt service payments for the Lease Revenue Bonds that were issued on September 1, 2010. The City reported the following major proprietary funds: Wastewater Fund This fund accounts for the activities associated with the City’s sewer plant operation and maintenance. Transit Fund
This fund accounts for the activities associated with the operation and maintenance of transportation services, such as and including the Dial-a-Ride Transit System.
CITY OF ATASCADERO NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2024
36
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) D. Internal Service Funds The Internal Service Funds are used to account for services rendered on a cost-reimbursement basis within the City. The City maintains three internal service funds: the Technology Fund, the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund, and the Building Maintenance and Replacement Fund. The Internal Service Funds are presented in total on the Proprietary Funds financial statements. They are included in the governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements since they represent internal governmental activities.
E. Private Purpose Trust Funds Private Purpose Trust Funds are used to account for monies held on behalf of others in a fiduciary capacity. The City uses private purpose trust funds to account for the Successor Agency of the Former Redevelopment Agency which was dissolved on January 31, 2012, pursuant to state law. All resources of the funds are used to support specified activities. F. Basis of Accounting The government-wide, proprietary fund financial statements, and the private purpose trust fund 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. 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 fiscal year end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent that they have matured. Capital
asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of long-term debt and acquisitions under leases and SBITAs are reported as other financing sources.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues from nonoperating revenues. Operating revenues generally result from providing services in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Wastewater Fund and the Transit Fund are charges to customers for services. The Wastewater Fund also recognizes as operating revenue the installation, extension and connections fees intended to recover the cost of connecting new customers to the system. All revenues not meeting these definitions are reported as non-operating revenues, including non-exchange transactions such as local transportation funds and federal Section 5307 revenues.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenues from property taxes are recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
CITY OF ATASCADERO NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2024
37
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
F. Basis of Accounting (continued) Other revenues susceptible to accrual include other taxes, intergovernmental revenues, interest, and charges for services.
Grant revenues are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements are met. Under the terms of grant agreements, the City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be available to finance program expenditures/expenses. The City’s policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.
G. Compensated Absences In compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 16, the City has established a liability for accrued vacation, other leave and certain sick leave in relevant funds. For governmental funds, the current liability appears in the respective funds. All vacation, sick, and other leave paid is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary funds financial statements. This liability is set up for the current employees at the current
rates of pay. If vacation and certain other leave are not used by the employee during the term of employment, compensation is payable to the employee at the time of retirement or termination. Such compensation is calculated at the employee’s prevailing rate at the time of retirement or termination. Each fiscal year, an adjustment to the liability is made based on pay rate changes and adjustments for the current portion. The General Fund is primarily responsible for the repayment of the governmental portion of compensated absences. H. Property Taxes California Constitution Article XIII A limits the combined property tax rate to one percent of a property’s assessed valuation. Additional taxes may be imposed with voter approval. Assessed value is calculated at one hundred percent of a property’s fair value, as defined by Article XIII A, and may be increased no more than two percent per year unless a change in ownership or new construction occurs. The state legislature has determined the method of distributing the one percent tax levy among the various taxing jurisdictions. Property tax revenues are recognized in the fiscal year for which taxes have been levied and collected within sixty days of fiscal year end. Property taxes
are billed and collected as follows: Secured Unsecured Valuation/Lien Date(s) January 1 January 1 Levy Date(s) July 1 July 1 Due Date(s) November 1 (50%) August 1 February 1 (50%) Delinquency Date(s) December 10 (Nov.) August 31 April 10 (Feb.)
The City adopted an alternative method of property tax distribution (the “Teeter Plan”). Under this method, the City receives 100% of its secured property
tax levied in exchange for foregoing any interest and penalties collected on delinquent taxes. The City receives payments as a series of advances made by the County throughout the fiscal year. The secured property tax levy is recognized as revenue upon receipt, including the final payment, which generally is received within 60 days after the fiscal year end.
CITY OF ATASCADERO NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2024
38
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) I. Capital Assets Additions and Retirements Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated fair value on the date contributed. The City’s policy is to capitalize all capital assets with costs exceeding a minimum of $2,500, and with useful lives exceeding one year. In the Technology Fund, the City uses a lower cost threshold to capitalize assets due to the nature of the assets.
With the implementation of GASB Statement No. 34, the City has recorded all its public domain (infrastructure) capital assets, which include roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, and lighting systems. The City’s collection of zoo animals is not capitalized. The collection of animals is held for public education purposes, is well cared for, and there is a City commitment to continue the collection. 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 fiscal year represents that fiscal year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets. GASB Statement No. 34 requires that all capital assets with limited useful lives be depreciated over their estimated useful lives. 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 fiscal year until the asset is fully depreciated. The City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets.
Structures and Improvements 3-100 years Equipment 3-25 years Infrastructure 15-100 years J. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as prescribed by the GASB and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. K. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Proprietary Funds’ “deposits” in the Citywide cash management pool are, in substance, demand deposits and are, therefore, considered cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows.
CITY OF ATASCADERO NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2024
39
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
L. Performance Bonds
The City receives performance bonds from developers to ensure compliance and completion of projects that affect the City’s infrastructure. These commitments may be in the form of cash, certificates of deposit in the City’s name, letters of credit, or surety bonds. Upon receipt, these deposits are recorded both as an asset and a liability. For purposes of simplifying the balance sheet, the performance bonds asset account in the amount of $47,416,271 was netted against the liability account of $47,475,605 in fiscal year 2024. The net balance in the performance bond deposits liability account at June 30, 2024, was $59,334 and is included with other amounts in the “Deposits” liability reported in the basic financial statements.
M. Short-Term Debt The City has no short-term debt.
N. Long-Term Contracts The City uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for long-term contracts, recognizing the pro rata portion of the contract in the accounting period covered by the contract.
O. Fund Balance
Categories of Fund Balance In accordance with Government Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54, the City classifies fund balances as follows: Non-spendable- includes fund balance amounts that cannot be spent either because it is not in spendable form or because of legal or contractual constraints. Restricted- includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific purposes which are externally imposed by providers, such as creditors or amounts constrained due to constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed- includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by the City Council. Assigned- includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific purposes by the City through formal action of the City Council and does not lapse at fiscal year end. Unassigned- includes positive fund balance within the General Fund which has not been classified within the above-mentioned categories and negative fund balances in other governmental funds. Non-Spendable Fund Balance
The non-spendable fund balance of $106,006 is comprised of amounts reported in non-spendable form and/or not in cash form such as prepaid items and deposits. Restricted Fund Balance
The restricted fund balance of $41,541,836 is comprised of $98,156 for economic development to offset the impact of the impending closure of Pacific Gas and Electric’s Diablo Canyon Power Plant, $5,857,530 for affordable housing, $13,637,821 restricted for debt service, and $21,948,329 restricted for other
Capital Project Funds and Special Revenue Funds.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
O. Fund Balance (continued) Assigned Fund Balance The fund balance assigned for road projects of $97,661 is held in the Capital Projects Fund for road rehabilitation projects. These funds remain from the City Council’s action to move funds annually in fiscal years 2001/2002 through 2007/2008 for these projects, and associated interest earnings.
Use of Fund Balance Order
The City budgets and expends funds for each project or expense based on specific identified funding sources that are available now and in the future. This means that, at times, the City may use unrestricted funds first for a particular project, leaving the eligible restricted funds available for a specific future project; however, it is the City’s general policy to use restricted amounts first when both restricted and unrestricted amounts are available. Similarly, the City would
typically first use committed, then assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance when expenditures are made. Minimum Fund Balance Policy The City adopted a formal fund balance policy stating that as part of the biennial budget process, fund balance shall be evaluated to determine the prudent level of reserves based on eleven key measurements. The policy further states that except in the case of natural or fiscal emergencies, the City’s general
fund balance shall not fall below 20% of General Fund expenditures. The General Fund reserve met this criterion for fiscal year 2023-2024.

Q. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position, and GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, the City recognizes deferred outflows and inflows of resources. In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. A deferred outflow of resources is defined as a consumption of net position by the government that is applicable to a future reporting period. The City has one item which qualifies for reporting in this category; refer to Note 9 for a detailed listing of the deferred outflows of resources the City has recognized. In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. A deferred inflow of resources is defined as an acquisition of net position by the City that is applicable to a future reporting period. The City has one item which qualifies for
reporting in this category; refer to Note 9 for a detailed listing of the deferred inflows of revenues the City recognized. R. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City of Atascadero’s California Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) Plan (Plan) and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including
refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetary Information
Biennial budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for all governmental funds. After adoption of the final budget, transfers of appropriations within a general fund department, or within other funds, can be made by the City Manager or his appointee. Budget modifications between funds, and increases or decreases to a fund’s overall budget, must be approved by the City Council. Numerous

properly authorized amendments were made during the fiscal year. Budgetary control is enhanced by integrating the budget into the general ledger accounts. Encumbrance accounting is employed (e.g., purchase orders) to avoid expenditures over budget. Encumbrances outstanding at fiscal year-end are automatically re-budgeted in the following fiscal year.

NOTE 3 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (continued) A. Deposits with Financial Institutions
For custodial credit risk associated with deposits, the City follows the California Government Code, which requires California financial institutions to secure the City’s deposits by pledging government securities as collateral. The fair value of the pledged securities must equal 110% of the City’s deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes equal to 150% of the City’s deposits. At fiscal year end, the City’s bank account and bank money market fund balances totaled $17,383,037. The first $250,000 was insured by federal depository insurance and the remainder was 110% collateralized. Certificates of Deposit totaling $18,387,654 are fully insured. B. State Investment Pool The fair value of the City’s position in the State LAIF pool is the same as the value of the pool shares. The State LAIF pool credit quality is unrated. LAIF is overseen by the Local Agency Investment Advisory Board, which consists of five members, in accordance with State statute. The State Treasurer’s Office audits the fund annually. Separate financial statements for LAIF can be obtained by writing Local Agency Investment Fund, Post Office Box 942809, Sacramento, CA 94209-0001. C.

NOTE 3 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS (continued) D. Marking Investments to Fair Value (GASB Statement No. 31)
In fiscal year 1997/98, the City adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 31, which requires that the City’s investments be carried at fair value instead of cost. Under GASB Statement No. 31, the City must adjust the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each fiscal year end, and it must include the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year. GASB Statement No. 31 applies to all City investments, even if held to maturity and redeemed at full face value. Since the City’s policy is to hold all investments to maturity, the fair value adjustments required by GASB Statement No. 31 result in accounting gains or losses (called “recognized” gains or losses) which do not reflect actual sales of the investments (called “realized” gains or losses). Thus, recognized gains or losses on an investment purchased at par will now reflect changes in its value at each succeeding fiscal year end, but these recognized gains or losses will net to zero if the investment is held to maturity. By following the requirements of GASB Statement No. 31, the City is reporting the amount of resources which would actually have been available
if it had been required to liquidate all of its investments at any fiscal year end.
E. Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurements and Application, provides the framework for measuring fair value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value with Level 1 given the highest priority and Level 3 the lowest priority. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the organization has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include the following:
1. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
2. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. 3. Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates). 4. Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs). Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Fair values for investments are determined by using a matrix pricing technique. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the security’s relationship to benchmark quoted prices. Uncategorized investments do not fall under the fair value hierarchy as there is no active market for the investments.
