City of Huntington Beach Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025
i i i Introductory Section
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
December 31, 2025
Honorable Mayor, City Council and Citizens of the City of Huntington Beach:
In accordance with the requirements of the City Charter, and the City of Huntington Beach's
ongoing commitment to transparent financial reporting, I am pleased to present the Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the year ended June 30, 2025.
As required by the City Charter,and to ensure the reliability of the information contained herein,
the City of Huntington Beach (the City) contracted with independent auditing firm Davis Farr LLP.
The goal of the audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the City's financial statements
are free from material misstatement. In addition, Davis Farr LLP audits the City's major program
expenditures of federal grants for compliance with Title 2 of the United States Code of Federal
Regulations Part 200 (Uniform Guidance).The Single Audit Report is published separately from
this ACFR and may be obtained upon request from the City's Finance Department.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the City's finances. As such,
management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of the information
presented in this document and ensuring it is reported in a manner that fairly presents the
financial position and operations of the various funds of the City.To provide a reasonable basis
for making these representations, and assurance that the financial statements will be free
from material misstatement, management has established a comprehensive internal control
framework that is designed to both protect the government's assets from theft, loss, or misuse
and to compile sufficient reliable information for financial statement conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). As the cost of internal controls should not outweigh
theCity's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to
their benefits, y p g
provide reasonable assurance rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will
be free from material misstatement.
We are pleased to report that Davis Farr LLP granted the City an unmodified (clean) opinion
for the financial statements of the City for the year ended June 30, 2025. The auditor's opinion
can be found in the Financial Section of this report. GAAP requires that management provide
a narrative introduction, overview and accompany analysis to the financial statements in the
Y p Y
form of a Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This transmittal letter is designed to
complement and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A can be found immediately
following the independent auditor's report.

sunny and warm Mediterranean climate; and its casual lifestyle. With over 10 miles of coastline

incumbent Council Members.The City Attorney, City Clerk and City Treasurer positions are also
elected and serve four-year terms.The`City of Huntington Beach is a full-service city including
police, fire, public works, and other key functional departments with a dedicated and talented
team of over 1000 full-time employees.
In 2011, the unincorporated oceanfront community of Sunset Beach was officially annexed
by the City of Huntington Beach. Sunset Beach is a small beachfront community with
approximately 1,000 residents and 1.5 square miles of land. Beachfront properties with high
property values make this community a valuable addition to the City. Sunset Beach features
one of the widest and most pristine beaches in Southern California and is home to the historic
Sunset Beach Arts Festival.
A thriving beach community, Huntington Beach is home to numerous events, including the Great

Economic Condition and Outlook
Like many local area cities, the City of Huntington Beach is grappling with increased costs in
all areas including workers' compensation and insurance increases, inflationary pressures on
operating and capital costs, and increasing CalPERS pension costs. Through the leadership
and support of City Council, the City has implemented various cost saving measures without
reductions in essential service levels. These strategies included a combination of targeted
reductions in operating accounts with underutilization trends, deferring transfers to other funds,
maintaining vacancy savings through the Managed Hiring process, reductions in contractual
expenditures and the prudent use of available reserves. These measures will buy time to further
analyze the longer-term fiscal impacts and develop measured and deliberate adjustments,
including changes to service delivery models and personnel, if necessary.
The City of Huntington Beach continues to thrive together through the motto "OneHB," which
reflects the City's commitment to facing the potential upcoming recession created by inflationary
conditions and supply chain shortages guided by the following principles:
• To stay committed to being One Team: working together to serve the people of Huntington
Beach exceptionally to inspire pride in the community.
• Work to have One Focus: to stay fanatical about achieving municipal excellence by being
active caretakers of our unique, people-centric HB culture.
• Continue to pursue One Goal: to ensure that HB continually improves its standing as a
premier coastal community as measured through the health of our people, our organization,
our infrastructure, and our community.
Property Tax
The City of Huntington Beach's assessed valuations are very strong, reflecting both new
development and increased property values. The City's Fiscal Year 2025/26 assessed property
value grew 4.9 percent to$58.2 billion.This solid performance, coupled with steady year-over-year
growth, reflects a stable property tax base that can weather steep declines in real estate
markets. Over 60 percent of parcels have an assessed valuation (AV) base year prior to 2004,
representing a significant amount of untapped AV. For Fiscal Year 2023/24, secured property
tax revenue collections totaled $70,619,000. For Fiscal Year 2024/25, secured property taxes
totaled , $73,709,000 reflecting a 4 percent increase.

Sales Tax
Huntington Beach's business community is well-diversified with no single industry or business
dominating the local economy. Local businesses include aerospace and high technology,
petroleum, manufacturing, computer hardware and software, financial and business services,
hotel and tourism, automobile services, large-scale retailers, and surf apparel. The City's diverse
sales tax base makes it a stable source of revenue and mitigates the impact of industry-specific
downturns as shown below.

Budget Development and Monitoring
The budget is prepared under the supervision of the City Manager and transmitted to the City
Council for deliberation at least 30 days prior to the end of the fiscal year. Pursuant to the City's
Charter,the City Council must adopt the annual budget by June 30th and may amend or revise
it any time at a properly noticed meeting. Budgetary control is at the Department level within
each fund and a Department Head, with the Chief Financial Officer's approval, may transfer
funds within like categories (operating and capital expenditures) of the same Department. The
transfer of funds for salaries and benefits requires additional approval by the City Manager or
his /her designee.
Cash Management Policies and Practices
Surplus cash is invested by the elected City Treasurer, in investments allowed by the City's
Investment Policy. The Investment Policy is adopted annually by the City Council after approval
by the Investment Advisory Board. It outlines guidelines to meet the daily cash flow needs of
the City, maximize the efficiency of the City's cash management system, and identifies prudent
investment vehicles for cash balances. The City Treasurer, as required by California Government
Code 53601, prepares an annual Statement of Investment Policy which allows the City to meet
current obligations while earning a market rate of return. Further information regarding the City's
cash and investments can be found in Note 2 of the financial statements.

Long-Term Financial Planning and Major Initiatives
The Strategic Goals provides the framework for the goals and objectives of the City. The City
Council held a Strategic Planning Workshop on June 8, 2023, establishing eight goals to achieve
over the next four years.The 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, approved by City Council, includes the
eight Strategic Goals listed below to achieve over the next few years: •
• Economic Development- greater business retention, investment and job growth in the City.
• Fiscal Stability - available funding to support a high-quality level of programs, services
and capital investments and to build a structural surplus.
• High Performing Organization - an engaged City workforce committed to responsive and
exceptional public service for all.
• Homelessness - A continuum of care that reduces homelessness and maintains quality
of life for the entire community.
• Housing- proactive programs to address diverse housing needs within the City's jurisdiction.
• Infrastructure Investment - maintain and upgrade infrastructure that supports the
community's day-to-day needs in accordance with the City's Infrastructure Report Card.
• Public Engagement- a community that has easy access to clear, accurate, and timely City
information and expresses increased awareness and involvement in City activities.
• Public Safety- Ensure the safety and protection of all community members, both efficiently
and effectively.
The goals drive both short and long-term budgetary decisions and the daily operations of the
City by ensuring everyone is consistently working to achieve the goals outlined in the Strategic
Plan.
"One Stop Shop"
The City is continuing the process of implementing a "One Stop Shop"to facilitate the permitting
process. The "One Stop Shop" streamlines the permitting process and provides applicants
with a comprehensive checklist to complete the necessary steps to obtain permits. The "One
Stop Shop" approach aims to make the permitting process more efficient so that businesses
and residents experience quicker and easier access to obtain permits for business licenses,
short-term rentals, and building permits.
Infrastructure Report Card
Infrastructure provides essential services and affects quality of life for all Huntington Beach
residents;to sustain these critical systems, it is important to routinely assess them.The City is
preparing an Infrastructure Report Card (IRC)that will serve as a high-level summary to highlight
the current condition of the City's Infrastructure. This report card will assign grades (A-F) to
various infrastructure categories, communicating the status of each and identifying priorities
for improvement.The project structure is made up of three separate committees including the
Outreach and Communications Committee. The Outreach and Communications Committee
is comprised of approximately 100 Huntington Beach residents appointed by the City Council
and/or are recognized members of the community who will act as ambassadors of this process
through their networks. This will promote resident participation, education, and awareness of
the project both during the assessments and after the final report is released.

Huntington Beach as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and,
where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained
in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are
required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
The financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025, reflect certain prior period
restatements as described further in note 18 to the financial statements. As described
further in Note 18 to the financial statements, during the year ended June 30, 2025, the
City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 101:
Compensated Absences. Our opinion is not modified with respect to these matters.
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025 City of Huntington Beach
Financial Section 2
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
The City's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is 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 opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with GAAS 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 GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test, basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among
other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and
certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information and pension and
other post employment benefit schedules 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 combining and individual
nonmajor fund financial statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund 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 to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In
our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report. The other information comprises the introductory section and statistical
section but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our
opinions on the financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not
express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the
financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider
whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial
statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based
on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other
information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
December 31, 2025 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,
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025 City of Huntington Beach
Financial Section 4
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 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 6
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
As management of the City of Huntington Beach, we-offer readers of the City's financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Huntington
Beach for the year ended June 30, 2025. We encourage readers to consider the information
presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our Letter
of Transmittal, which can be found on pages iii-ix of this report.
Financial Highlights
Below is a summary of the City's government-wide financial information (in thousands):
Total Governmental and Business-Type Activities
Amount
June 30,2024 Increase Percent Increase
June 30,2025 (Restated) (Decrease) (Decrease)
Assets $ 1,525,252 $ 1,461,477 $ 63,775 4.40%
Deferred Outflows of Resources 86,286 135,090 (48,804) (36.10%)
Liabilities 667,852 681,964 (14,112) (2.10%)
Deferred Inflows of Resources 16,885 18,868 (1,983) (10.50%)
Total Net Position 926,801 895,735 31,066 3.50%
Unrestricted Net Position (160,959) (149,004) (11,955) . 8.00%
Long-Term Obligations 591,300 605,981 (14,681) (2.40%)
Program Revenues 203,948 189,331 14,617 7.70%
Taxes 219,085 220,940 (1,855) (0.80%)
Other General Revenues. 29,697 53,534 (23,837) (44.50%)
Expenses 421,664 403,080 18,584 4.60%
• The City of Huntington Beach's total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded
its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year
by $926,801,000. Total net position increased by $31,066,000 or 3.5 percent primarily as
a result of a $53,454,000 increase in Cash and Investments. This change is related to the
GASB 31 market adjustment, which compares the investment's market value to its booked
value. In the prior fiscal year-end, the GASB 31 adjustment resulted in the booked value
being higher than the market value. For Fiscal Year 2024/25, the booked value was lower
than the market value.
• Long-term obligations decreased by $14,681,000 or 2.4 percent. The decrease is primarily
the result of GASB 68 adjustments. The adjustment decreased net pension liability by
$17,507,000 as a result of actuarial valuation adjustment of the City's current net pension
liability.At the same time, long-term obligations due in more than one year are$899,000 due
to normal debt obligations being paid down.
• Deferred outflows of resources decreased by $48,804,000 or 36.1 percent due to the
differences between projected and actual earnings on Pension Plan investments used.
to determine the City's net pension liability. Deferred inflow of resources decreased by
$1,983,000 or 10.5 percent, primarily due to a decrease of$1,835,000 related to difference
between expected and actual experience on Pension Plan investments used to determine
the City's net pension liability.
• Program revenues increased by$14,617,000 or 7.7 percent.The increase is due to the increase
revenue from business-type activities from utility rate increase and increase in revenue in
the Fire and Community Services departments.
City of Huntington Beach Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025
7 Management's Discussion and Analysis
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
• Expenses increased by$18,584,000 or 4.6 percent largely due to increases of$7,618,000 in Police
and $7,427,000 in Public Works, and $2,000,000 in Community Development expenditures.
This demonstrates City's ongoing commitment to fostering a safe and livable community
supported by reliable and well-maintained infrastructure and strong Police department.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis serves as an introduction to the City of Huntington Beach's basic
financial statements.The City of Huntington Beach's basic financial statements are composed
of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements; 2) fund financial statements;
and 3) notes to the financial statements.This report also contains certain other supplementary
information in addition to the basic financial statements.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview
of the City's financial condition and are prepared similarly to those in the private sector.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City's assets, liabilities,deferred
. outflows and inflows with the difference between them reported as net position. Over time,
continued increases or decreases in net position may indicate whether the City's financial
condition is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information on how the City's net position changed during
the most recent fiscal year. These changes are reported on the full accrual basis when the
economic event occurs (not when the cash is received or paid).
The government-wide financial statements separate functions that are primarily supported
by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from functions that are
supported by user fees (business-type activities). Governmental activities include the City
Council, City Manager, City Treasurer, City Attorney, City Clerk, Finance, Human Resources,
Community Development, Fire, Information Services, Police, Community Services, Library
Services, and Public Works departments. Business-type activities include Water,Sewer, Refuse,
and Hazmat Services.
The government-wide financial statements include the City and all of its component units that
are legally separate but whose activities entirely support the City of Huntington Beach.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 22-23 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements
The City separates financial activities into funds to maintain control over resources that
have been legally separated. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories:
governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for the same functions reported in governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However,the focus in the governmental
fund section of these financial statements is on near-term resource inflows and outflows available
for spending,as well as balances of resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025 City of Huntington Beach
Management's Discussion and Analysis 8
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
It is useful to compare information presented for the governmental funds to information presented
for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The reconciliations
indicate to the reader the differences in financial reporting between the governmental activities
section and the governmental funds section.
The City maintains 25 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in
the governmental funds Balance Sheet and in the governmental funds Statement of Revenue,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund, Grants Special Revenue
Fund, Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF), Pension Liability Debt Service
Fund, and Infrastructure Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the
other 19 smaller funds are combined into a single,aggregated presentation. Individual fund data
for each of these other governmental funds is provided in combining statements elsewhere in
this report.
The City provides an annual appropriated budget for its governmental funds. Budgetary
comparison schedules for the General Fund and Grants Special Revenue Fund are required to
be presented and are included on pages 103-104. Other major governmental funds (LMIHAF
Capital Projects Fund, Pension Liability Debt Service Fund and Infrastructure Fund) are presented
in the Supplementary Information section on pages 134-135 of this report and demonstrate
compliance with the budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 24 and 27 of this report.
Proprietary Funds
The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds,which are used to account for the
same activities as the business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities
in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for
its Water, Sewer Service, Refuse, and Hazmat Service activities. Internal Service funds are
used in accounting as a device to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's
various functions.The City uses internal service funds to account for its self-insurance worker's
compensation activities,self-insurance general liability activities, and equipment replacement
needs. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type
functions,they have been included with 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. The proprietary fund financial statements provide information
for Water, Sewer Service, Refuse, Hazmat Service, Self-Insurance Workers' Compensation,
Self-Insurance General Liability, and Equipment Replacement Funds.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 29-32 of this report.

9 Management's Discussion and Analysis
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
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 of Huntington Beach's
own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary
funds.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on page 33-34 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 37-99 of this report.
Other information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes,this report also presents
certain required supplementary information concerning the City's progress in funding its
obligation to provide pension and OPEB benefits to its employees and General Fund and major
special revenue funds budget-to-actual comparisons. Required supplementary information can
be found on pages 102-112 of this report.
The combining statements and schedules referred to earlier in connection with other governmental
funds is presented immediately following the required supplementary information on pensions.
Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 115-135 of
this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve, over time, as a useful indicator of a government's
financial position. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City reported positive net position
balances for both governmental and business-type activities.Ttotal assets and deferred outflows
of resources exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the most
recent fiscal year by $926,801,000.

Analysis of the City's Net Position
Current and Other Assets: The increase in current and other assets of $38,651,000 for
governmental activities is mainly due to increases in Cash and Investment.As mentioned above,
this section increased to $31,136,000. PARS Section 115 Trust increased receipts of$5,744,000,
General fund receipts increased by $7,451,000, GASB 31 Market adjustments increased by
$7,651,000, the rest of increase related to the receipts for internal service funds.
The increase in current and other assets of $2,612,000 for business-type activities is primarily
due to increased cash and investment balance in the Water Fund, Sewer fund and Hazmat
Service fund. This growth was driven by higher revenues in Fiscal Year 2024/25, resulting from
utility rate increases, which contributed to the overall rise in collections.
Non-current Assets: Non-current Assets increased by $5,167,000 in governmental activities
and increased by $513,000 in business-type activities due to GASB 75 Other Postemployment
Benefit adjustments:
City of Huntington Beach Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025
11 Management's Discussion and Analysis
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
Current and Other Liabilities: Current and Other Liabilities for governmental activities
increased by $354,000 and increased by $215,000 for business-type activities. The increase
in business-type activities is due to normal fluctuations in payroll cycles.
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources:The decrease in deferred outflows of resources
of $45,239,000 and $3,565,000 for governmental activities and business-type activities
and decrease of deferred inflows of resources of $2,003,000 for governmental activities
and increase of $20,000 for business-type activities is the result of actuarially determined
amortization differences between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments,
and differences between expected and actual experience used to determine Net Pension and
Other Postemployment Benefits Liabilities. See Notes 6, 7, and 8 for additional information.
Long-Term Obligations: Long-term obligations decreased by $12,581,000 for governmental
activities and $2,100,000 for business-type activities primarily due to the GASB 68 Financial
Report for Pension Plans adjustments resulting in a $17,507,000 overall decrease of net pension
liability.
Net Investment in Capital Assets: The largest portion of the City's net position reflects
investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery,equipment, and infrastructure), less
any related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The City uses 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 are reported net of related debt,
the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since capital
assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. Net position invested in capital
assets, net of related debt from governmental activities increased by$19,531,000 or 2.6 percent,
street improvements and construction projects, such as improvements to the Police station,
various park improvements, pump station improvements, Central Library improvement, and
fiber expansion projects throughout the city. Net position invested in capital assets net of
related debt from business-type activities increased by $3,521,000 or 2.5 percent primarily
due sewer improvement.
Restricted Net Position: An additional portion of the City's net position is subject to external
(legally imposed or statutory) restrictions ($144,388,000 for governmental activities, and
$27,510,000 for business-type activities).These amounts represent 19.9 percent and 13.6 percent
of net position for governmental activities and business-type activities, respectively. Restricted
net position from governmental activities increased by$16,853,000 or 13.2 percent, largely due
to the increase in restricted net position in the Debt Service Fund and Grants Special Revenue
Funds. Debt Service increased due to revenues from the voter-approved property tax override
dedicated to pension cost payments being set aside. In addition, higher property tax revenues
were collected as a result of increased home values. Grants Special Revenue Fund increase is
due to the City recognizing more grant revenue than prior year. Total grant revenue exceeded
expenditures by $3,338,000.

For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
Unrestricted Net Position:The unrestricted net position(negative$190,408,000 for governmental
activities and positive$29,449,000 for business-type activities) represent negative 26.3 percent
and positive 14.6 percent,respectively,of net position for governmental activities and business-type
activities.Unrestricted net position for governmental activities decreased by$10,262,000 or 5.7 percent.
Unrestricted net position for business-type activities decreased by$1,693,000 or 5.4 percent.These
changes can be attributed to changes in Net Pension Liability and Other Postemployment Benefits.

13 Management's Discussion and Analysis
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
The cost of all governmental activities this year was $340,162,000. However, as shown in the
Statement of Activities,the amount that taxpayers ultimately financed for these activities was
$217,114,000, as costs of $90,368,000 were paid by those who directly benefited from the
programs, or by other governments and organizations that subsidized certain programs with
operating grants and contributions of $15,139,000, and capital grants and contributions of
$17,541,000. Overall, the City's governmental program revenues were $123,048,000. The City
paid for the remaining"public benefit" portion of governmental activities with $243,293,000 in
taxes and general revenue (some of which may only be used for certain programs) and with
other revenues, such as interest and general entitlements.
Charges for current services increased by $3,457,000 or 4.0 percent. This increase is mainly
from reimbursement of liability claim paid out by the City, Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
and Emergency Medical transportation (GEMT)VRRP IGT revenue. Other noteworthy increases in
revenue occurred in Community Services, Fire,and Police. Community Services experienced an
increase of$940,000, attributable to Quimby Fund revenues,special events, land lease income,
film permits,facility rentals, and higher parking fee rates resulting from increased tourism.The
Fire Department reported an increase of $4,225,000 due to the City's participation in EMS
billing services. Police program revenues increased by $2,220,000, primarily attributable to
parking fines. Community Development and Public Works reported an increase of $978,000.
Operating Grants and Contributions increased by $3,461,000 or 29.6 percent and Capital
Grants and Contributions have increased by$275,000 or 1.6 percent.The Operating Grants and
Contributions increase is due to Hazard Mitigation Grant Program revenue of $1,803,000 and
CalTrans reimbursement Grant of$2,418,000.The majority of the increase in Capital Grants and
Contributions is related to several funding sources, including FEMA COVID-19 grant of$1,141,000;
Clean California reimbursement grant of$2,583,000 from Caltrans;Arterial Rehabilitation and
Bolsa Chica Traffic Signal grant increase of $618,000; LMIHAF principal increase of $349,000;
and Commercial Sanitation Sewer revenue increase of $350,000. These gains were partially
offset by a $4,900,000 decrease in capital grants,which received in the prior year for various
capital improvement projects, a decrease of $578,000 related to the Coronavirus Response
and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), and a decrease of$211,000 in OCA/CIP
grant funding.
Program expenses increased by$17,429,000 or 5.4 percent primarily due to increases in Police
and Fire cost. Both departments had an overall increase of$24,325,000 which is due to increase
in personal cost and pension expense.
Total resources available during the year to finance governmental operations were
$1,065,308,000 consisting of net position at July 1, 2024 of $698,967,000, program revenues
of $ $123,048,000, and general revenues of $243,293,000. Total expenses for governmental
activities during the year were $340,162,000 plus transfers of $57,000. Thus, net position
increased by $25,121,000 or 3.6 percent, to $725,089,000.

For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
Additional information on the City's long-term debt is shown in Note 11 and Note 14 to the
financial statements. Note 14, Leases, provides detail related to GASB 87 related Lease Payable
while Note 11 provides detail related to all other long-term debt. The City of Huntington Beach
is legally restricted to issuing general obligation bonds to 12 percent of its assessed valuation.
Since the City has no general obligation bonds outstanding,the limit does not apply.The City's
total long-term obligations decreased by $1,457,000 or 0.3 percent from the prior fiscal year
as the reduction in total debt related to annual debt service payments was partially offset by
new claims payable liabilities and lease obligations.
The City continues to maintain strong credit ratings on all of its debt issues. Most notably, on
August 27, 2014 Fitch Ratings issued an AAA Implied General Obligation Bond rating to the City
of Huntington Beach and that same rating was most recently reaffirmed in September 2025.
The following are the ratings as determined by Standard and Poor's and Fitch Ratings as of

General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Changes to Original Budget
Comparing the.Fiscal Year 2024/25 General Fund Original (i.e. Adopted) Budget expenditures
amount of $238,642,000 to the final budgeted amount of $291,174,000 shows a net increase
of $52,532,000increase $52,532,000 or 22.0 percent. This overall increase is primarily due to
budget carryforward of$8,248,000 and increased transfers to Equipment Fund of$10,105,000,
Infrastructure Fund of$17,540,000,Section 155 Trust of$3,170,000,Self Insurance General Liability
Fund of $17,552,000, Self Insurance Worker's Compensation Fund of $4,000,000 increase.
Final budgeted revenues for the General Fund increased $18,570,000 or 6.3 percent from the
original (adopted) budget for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025. The change from original
to final budget occurred primarily as a result of adjustments made to budgeted Use of Money
and Property Fund, Intergovernmental Fund and Other Fund.
City of Huntington Beach Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025,
19 Management's Discussion and Analysis
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
Variance with Final Budget
General Fund actual revenues were more than the final budget by$3,673,000 for the Fiscal Year
ended June 30, 2025. This budget variance is due in large part to increases in activity related
to Licenses and Permits, and Fines and Forfeitures.
General Fund expenditures were $9,514,000 less than the final budget. The favorable budget
variance is due in large part to the following:
• The Information Services Departments realized $1,237,000 in savings primarily due to
differences in projected versus actual cost of providing services.
• Community Development Departments realized $4,880,000 in savings primarily due to
differences in the projected versus actual timing of design, construction, and maintenance
contracts for projects, as well as the deferral of various building and planning contracts.
Analysis of City's Other Major Governmental Funds
Grants Special Revenue Fund
The fund balance in the Grant Special Revenue Fund increased by $3,338,000 primarily due
an increase in grant revenue. The two largest amounts received is $2,545,000 from CalTrans
and $2,101,000 from FEMA Fiscal Year 2024/25.
LMIHAF Capital Projects Fund •
The LMIHAF Capital Projects Fund Balance increased by $1,717,000 due to the Department
of Finance agreeing to the Waterfront promissory note issued by the former Redevelopment
Agency to the City as an enforceable obligation. This decision resulted in $1,719,000 revenue
for the fund.
Pension Liability Debt Service Fund
The fund balance in the Pension Liability Debt Service Fund increased by $6,259,000 due to
revenues set-aside from the voter-approved property tax override dedicated to the payment
of Public Safety pension costs and employee's contribution to the fund.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget
The Adopted Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget totals$541.1 million in all funds.This reflects a$13.8 million,
or 2.6 percent increase from the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Adopted All Funds Budget of$527.2 million.
A significant portion of the increase is due to the Enterprise Fund.
General Fund expenditures total $299.4 million and are supported by revenues of$300.1 million.
The Adopted General Fund Budget has no reliance on one-time revenues to fund ongoing
operations,which is critical to maintaining the City's financial viability and success,and represents
a $0.5 million, or 0.2 percent, decrease compared to the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Adopted Budget
_ of $300.0 million.
Public Safety: Funding for Public Safety represents 54 cents of every dollar spent in the General
Fund. With more than half of the General Fund Budget committed to the Police and Fire
Departments, the City has dedicated a large share of its resources, or $161.2 million, to these
core services to ensure the safety and protection of all community members.
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025 City of Huntington Beach
Management's Discussion and Analysis 20
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
The Police Department_Adopted Budget includes $591,000 for body worn cameras, tasers,
training and supplies and approximately $233,000 for replacement of helicopter searchlights
and gimbals. In addition,the General Fund Equipment budget includes $910,000 for new police
vehicles.
In the Fire Department, the Adopted Budget includes $1.5 million for the purchase of a fire
engine and $1.1 million for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) monitors.
The Adopted FY 2025/26 city budget establishes the roadmap for the City's direction in the
year ahead. Like many local area cities,the City of Huntington Beach is grappling with increased
costs in all areas, but in particular with regard to the cost of personnel. Our challenge is to
continue to provide needed services to our citizens, and visitors. We can only be successful
if we continue to maintain a highly qualified and motivated workforce. At the same time, a few
major revenues,in particular the sales tax, are under performing.
General Fund Revenue
General Fund revenues are anticipated to be$300.1 million, a $1.6 million,or 0.5 percent decrease
from the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Adopted Budget.The largest decreases are in Revenue from Other
Agencies, projected to decrease $4.8 million due largely to planned elimination of the prior-year
one-time receipt of funds from the Voluntary Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer (VRRP)
Program. The VRRP allows CalOptima Health to secure additional Medi-Cal dollars for the City
of Huntington Beach and other California government entities. The revenue received annually
by the City is dependent on factors such as the number of program participants in the County
and number of Medi-Cal calls for service. Increases in VRRP participants have decreased the
amount of available funding to existing participants in Fiscal Year 2025/26.
• Property Tax is the largest revenue category for the City, remains strong and is expected
to increase by $5.7 million or 5.3 percent with expected revenues totaling$113.9 million due
to increases in assessed property values.
• Charges for Current Services are projected to increase $1.7 million from prior year primarily
as the result of lower anticipated building plan reviews and lower Emergency Medical
Service billings.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Reporting Entity
The City of Huntington Beach is the primary government. It was incorporated in 1909 as
a charter,full-service city.The form of government is Council-Manager.Component units
are legally separate organizations for which the City Council is financially accountable,or
organizations that if excluded from the accompanying financial statements,would make
them misleading. The component units described below are blended (presented as if
they are part of the primary government) or presented as a fiduciary trust fund with the
primary government for financial reporting purposes.The criteria used in determining the
scope of the reporting entity are based on the provisions of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, as amended by
GASB Statement 39,Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units,
and GASB Statement 61, The Financial Reporting Entity:Omnibus an amendment of GASB
Statements No. 14 and No. 34. A legally separate, tax exempt organization should be
reported as a blended component unit of the City if all of the following criteria are met:
1. The governing board is substantively the same as the primary government and there
is a financial benefit or burden relationship between the primary government and
the component unit;
2. The component unit provides services entirely, or almost entirely, to the primary
government or otherwise exclusively, or almost exclusively, benefits the primary
government even though it does not provide services directly to it; and
3. The component unit's total debt outstanding, including leases, is expected to be
repaid entirely or almost entirely with the resources of the primary government.
Based on the application of the criteria listed above, the following component units
have been included.
Huntington Beach Housing Authority.
The Housing Authority(the Authority)was established in March 2011 pursuant to Housing
Authority Laws of California to provide rental assistance programs to low-income families
and senior citizens, and to operate a Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program and other
approved programs. The Authority is governed by a commission of seven members
comprised of the City Council,which appoints management and has full accountability
for the Authority's fiscal affairs. The Authority's financial data and transactions are
included within the capital projects Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund
(LMIHAF). On January 9, 2012, the City adopted a resolution designating the Housing
Authority of the City of Huntington Beach to serve as the Housing Successor Agency.
The Housing Successor Agency's financial data and transactions are included within the
LMIHAF Capital Projects Fund. There is no separate Component Unit Financial Report
(CUFR) prepared for the Authority.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Huntington Beach Public Financing Authority (Public Financing Authority) -This
Corporation was formed in March 1988 to issue debt to finance public improvements and
other capital purchases for the City and the former Redevelopment Agency.The Public
Financing Authority's governing body is the City Council, which also adopts its annual
budget. The Public Financing Authority is financially dependent on the City. There are
no separately issued financial statements available for the Public Financing Authority.
The City of Huntington Beach Supplemental Retirement Plan and Trust (Supplemental
Retirement Plan and Trust) - The Trust was formed to provide a supplemental retirement
plan for all employees hired prior to 1997 (exact dates differed for various associations).
The governing board of the Supplemental Retirement Plan consists of the City Treasurer,
Chief Financial Officer, and the City Manager (or designee). The Retirement Board is
responsible for supervising all investments, resolving benefit disputes,and ensuring that
contributions are made in order to pay the required benefits. There are no separate
financial statements for this plan and trust.
b. Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements include a Statement of Net Position and a
Statement of Activities. These statements present summaries of Governmental and
Business-Type Activities for the City accompanied by a total column. Fiduciary activities
of the City are not included in these statements. These statements are presented on
an "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
Accordingly,all of the City's assets, deferred inflows/outflows of resources, and liabilities,
including capital assets, as well as infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are
included in the accompanying Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities
presents changes in Net Position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the
period in which the liability is incurred.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of
a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those
that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Indirect expenses are
allocated to the various functions based on a proportionate use of services.The types of
transactions reported as program revenues for the City are reported in three categories:
1) charges for current services; 2) operating grants and contributions; and, 3) capital
grants and contributions. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported as general revenues. As a general rule, the effects of interfund
activity have been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use,it is the government's
policy to use restricted resources first,then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

Financial Statement Classification
In the government-wide financial statements, net position is classified in the following
categories:
Net Investment in Capital Assets - This category groups all capital assets, including
infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and the
outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of these assets reduce this category.
Restricted Net Position - This category presents restrictions imposed by creditors,
grantors,contributors or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed
by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. The government-wide
Statement of Net Position reports $144,388,000 of governmental activities restricted
net position. The government-wide Statement of Net Position reports $27,510,000 of
business-type activities restricted net position, of which all is restricted by enabling
legislation. This category presents restrictions placed on the categories of Capital
Projects, Debt Service, and Specific Projects and Programs.
Unrestricted Net Position - This category represents the net position of the City, not
restricted for any project or other purpose. The government-wide Statement of Net
Position reports negative $190,408,000 of governmental activities unrestricted net
position,which is largely a result of the City's Long-Term Obligations at June 30, 2025 is
$591,300,000, of which, $560,911,000 is payable from Governmental Activities. The
government-wide Statement of Net Position reports $29,449,000 of business-type
activities unrestricted net position.
c. Fund Financial Statements
Separate fund financial statements are prepared for governmental funds, proprietary
funds, and fiduciary funds. Major individual governmental and enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or"current financial resources"
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Only current assets,
current liabilities,and deferred inflows are included on the Balance Sheets.The Statement
of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances presents increases (revenues
and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses)
in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available
to finance expenditures of the current period.
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025 City of Huntington Beach
Notes to Financial Statements 40
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except that revenues subject to accrual
(generally 60 days after year-end) are recognized when due. The primary revenue
sources, which have been treated as susceptible to accrual by the City, are property
tax, sales tax, use of money and property, intergovernmental revenues, charges for
current services, and other taxes. Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period
in which the related fund liability is incurred. However, debt service expenditures as
well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims are recorded only
when payment is due.
Governmental Funds Financial Statements
Governmental Funds Financial Statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for all major governmental funds
and non-major funds aggregated.Accompanying schedules are presented to reconcile
and explain the differences in fund balances and changes in fund balances as presented
in these statements to the net position and changes in net position presented in the
government-wide financial statements. The City presents all major funds that meet
those qualifications.
The City's Governmental Fund Balances are comprised of the following components:
• Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that are not in spendable form and
typically includes inventories, prepaid items, and other items that by definition
cannot be appropriated.
• The restricted fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for
the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or
through enabling legislation.
• The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only
for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the City Council.The City
Council has authority to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment
by formal action as specified by the City's Fund Balance Policy. Commitments to
fund balance are made through adoption of a resolution by City Council.
• Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the
City for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted
or committed.The City Manager or designee has the authority to establish, modify,
or rescind a fund balance assignment as specified by the City's Fund Balance Policy.
• Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the City's General Fund and
includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned
fund balance in other governmental funds is limited to any negative residual fund
balance after fund balance has been classified as restricted, committed,or assigned.
City of Huntington Beach Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025
41 Notes to Financial Statements
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
In the government-wide statements, the City considers restricted funds to be spent
first then unrestricted amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for
which unrestricted fund balance is available. In the governmental fund statements,
when expenditures are incurred, the City uses the most restrictive funds first. The City
would use the appropriate funds in the following order: committed, assigned, and lastly
unassigned amounts.
The City establishes encumbrances to record the amount of purchase orders,contracts,
and other obligations, which have not yet been fulfilled, cancelled, or discharged.
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are recorded as part of committed or assigned
fund balance. 1
Encumbrances outstanding as of June 30, 2025, by major fund (in thousands):
General Fund $ 10,191
Grants Special Revenue 11,098
LMIHAF Capital Projects 9
Infrastructure 17,073
Other Governmental Funds 16,012
Total Encumbrance All Funds $ 54,383
Economic Uncertainties Reserve
The City Council established an Economic Uncertainties Reserve in the General Fund
through a resolution with a goal to commit the value of two months of the General Fund
expenditure adopted budget amount.Appropriations from the Economic Uncertainties
Reserve commitments can only be made by formal City Council action. Generally,
appropriations and access to these funds will be reserved for emergency situations.
Examples of such emergencies include, but are not limited to:
• An unplanned, major event such as catastrophic disaster requiring expenditures
over 5% of the General Fund adopted budget;
• Budgeted revenue in excess of $1 million taken by another government entity;
• Drop in projected/actual revenue of more than 5% of the General Fund adopted
revenue budget; and,
• Should the Economic Uncertainties Reserve be used, and its level falls below the
minimum amount of two months of General Fund expenditures adopted budget,
the goal is to replenish the fund within three fiscal years.
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
The City's enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds. Proprietary Fund
Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues,
Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position, and a Statement of Cash Flows for each
major proprietary fund.
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025 City of Huntington Beach
Notes to Financial Statements 42
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the"economic resources" measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets, deferred inflows/outflows,
and liabilities (whether current or non-current) are included on the Statement of Net
Position.The Statement of Revenues, Expenses,and Changes in Fund Net Position present
increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total Net Position. Under the accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned
while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.
Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are those revenues that are generated from
the primary operations of the fund. All other revenues are reported as nonoperating
revenues. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary
operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as non-operating expenses.
The internal service funds, which provide services to the other funds of the City, are
presented in a single column in the proprietary funds financial statements. Because the
principal users of the internal services funds are the City's governmental activities, the
assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are consolidated into the governmental
activities column of the government-wide Statement of Net Position. The costs of the
internal service fund services are spread to the appropriate function or program on the
government-wide Statement of Activities and the revenues and expenses within the
internal service funds are eliminated from the government-wide financial statements
to avoid any doubling effect of these revenues and expenses.
Fiduciary Funds Financial Statements
Fiduciary Funds Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement
of Changes in Net Position for Custodial and Trust Funds.These statements are presented
on an"economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.The
City's fiduciary funds include Custodial and Trust Funds. Custodial Funds report fiduciary
activities that are not held in a trust or equivalent arrangement that meets specific
criteria. The Custodial Funds present results of operations and include net position.
Trust Funds present results of operations and include net position. The Retirement
Supplemental Trust Fund accounts for the activities of the Supplemental Retirement Plan
for all employees hired prior to 1997,which accumulates resources for pension benefits
to qualified employees. Contributions are made to the Supplemental Plan based on the
City's policy to fund the required contributions as determined by the Plan's actuary and
are recognized when they are made.The Retiree Medical Insurance Trust Fund accounts
for the activities of the City's Other Post- Employment Benefits plans, which provide
postemployment medical insurance to retirees.
The Huntington Beach Redevelopment Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund
accounts for the Successor Agency for the former Redevelopment Agency pursuant to
Assembly Bill X126. Fiduciary funds are not presented in the government-wide financial
statements because these funds do not represent net position available to the City.

increase its estimated useful life. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition
value at the date of donation.Acquisition value is the price that would be paid to acquire
an asset with equivalent service potential on the date of the donation. Intangible assets
follow the same capitalization policies as tangible capital assets and are reported with
tangible assets in the appropriate capital asset class.
In the government-wide and proprietary funds financial statements, tangible and
intangible property, plant, equipment, the right to use leased assets, and infrastructure
are depreciated/amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of the assets as shown below and charged to the respective activity or fund. Land
and construction in progress are not depreciated. No depreciation is recorded in the
governmental funds of the fund financial statements.
Buildings 20 to 50 years
Machinery and Equipment 5 to 30 years
Infrastructure 50 Years
g. Leases
The City is a lessee for a noncancellable lease of equipment and property. 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 $50,000 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 its useful
life.

For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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.
• 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.
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 debt on the statement of net position.
The City is a lessor for a noncancellable lease of a building,land,and infrastructure.The City
recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the government-wide
. and governmental fund financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease,the City initially measures the lease receivable at the
present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently,
the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received.
The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease
receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement
date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the
life of the lease term.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it
uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3)
lease receipts.
• The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
• The lease term includes the noncancellable period of.the lease. Lease receipts
included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments
from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of
its lease, and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if
certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease
receivable.
h. Unearned Revenue
In the government-wide and the fund-level financial statements, unearned revenues are
those where the asset recognition (availability criteria) has been met, but the revenue
recognition criteria have not been met.

For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
i. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies
to future periods and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/
expenditure) until then. The City reports deferred outflows related to pensions and
OPEB which are the result of the implementation of GASB Statement Nos. 68 and 75.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to
future periods and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until
that time. The City reported the following in this category:
1. Unavailable revenues (which include revenues,.notes, and long-term receivables)
measured under the modified accrual basis of accounting reported in governmental
funds.These amounts are deferred and will be recognized as an inflow of resources
in the period that the amounts become available.
2. Changes in the net pension liability not included in pension expense.
3. Changes in the net other postemployment benefits liability not included in OPEB
expense.
4. Lease related deferrals
j. Inventories
Proprietary fund inventories are valued at weighted-average cost and consist of
expendable supplies and repair parts. The cost of such inventories is recorded as
expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
k. Interfund Transactions
As a general rule, interfund transactions have been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this rule are payments in-lieu or charges for current
service between the City's enterprise activities and the City's governmental activities.
Elimination of these transactions would distort the direct costs and program revenues
for the various functions. Certain eliminations have been made regarding interfund
activities, payables, and receivables.All internal balances in the Statement of Net Position
have been eliminated except those representing balances between the governmental
activities and the business-type activities, which are presented as internal balances
and eliminated in the total primary government column.
Numerous transactions occur between funds of the City resulting in transfers and
amounts due to or from other funds.Amounts due to or from are the current(due within
one year) portion of monies that are to be paid or to be received from other funds.

I. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide and proprietary funds financial statements,long-term obligations
are recorded as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type
activities, or proprietary fund-type statement of net position. Bond premiums and
discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt. In the governmental fund
financial statements, bond discounts and premiums are recognized as another financing
g
source or use. Issuance costs are recorded as a current year debt service expenditure.
m. Employee Compensated Absences
Effective July 1, 2024,the City adopted GASB Statement No.101,Compensated Absences
(GASB 101). In accordance with GASB 101, liabilities for compensated absences are
recognized for: (a) leave that is attributable to services already rendered, (b) leave that
accumulates, and (c) leave that is more likely than not to be used for the time off or
otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means.
The City records the cost of all accumulated and unused leave time (general, sick,
administrative, executive and comp) as a liability when earned in the government-wide
and proprietary funds financial statements. In the governmental funds financial statements
these amounts are recorded as expenditures when due and payable.
n. Property Tax Revenue
Property tax in California is levied according to Article 13-A of the California Constitution.
The basic levy is a countywide-levy of one percent of total assessed valuation and is
allocated to county governments,school districts, cities and special districts. Additional
levies require two-thirds approval by voters and are allocated directly to the specific
government.
In the government-wide financial statements, property tax is recorded when earned,
regardless of when levied, due, or received. City property tax revenues are recognized
when levied in the governmental funds to the extent that they result in current receivables
collectible within 60 days after year-end.
The County acts as a collection agent for property tax for all of the local governmental
units. Property taxes are normally collected twice per year. The property tax calendar
is as follows:
• Lien Date, January 1 - Prior Fiscal Year
• Levy Date, July 1 - Levy Fiscal Year
• Due Date, First Installment - November 1
• Due Date, Second Installment - February 1
• Delinquent Date, First Installment - December 10
• Delinquent Date, Second Installment - April 10

o. Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Funds
Under ABX1 26, revenues that were previously distributed to redevelopment agencies
(prior to their dissolution) in the form of property tax increment will no longer be received.
Instead, revenues are deposited by County Auditors into Redevelopment Property Tax
Trust Funds (RPTTF) created in the County Treasury for each Successor Agency. 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 Schedules (ROPS) to Recognized Obligation Retirement
Funds (RORF) 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 calendar for distribution of RPTTF funds is as follows:
• Annual ROPS submission due to Department of Finance, February 1
• Distribution of RPTTF to Successor Agencies for the July-December ROPS period,
June 1
• Distribution of RPTTF to Successor Agencies for the January-June ROPS period,
January 2
p. Cash Flow Statements
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Proprietary Funds consider all cash
and investments to be cash equivalents,as these funds participate in the citywide cash
and investment pool.
q. Estimates
The accompanying financial statements require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
r. Pensions and OPEB
For, purposes of measuring the net pension liability, net OPEB liability, related deferred
outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, pension/OPEB expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of the Plan and additions to/deductions
from the Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they
are reported by the CaIPERS' Financial Office and the City's Defined Benefit Pension
Plan. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions)
are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value. Net pension liability and OPEB liability has
historically been liquidated through the General Fund, certain special revenue funds
and proprietary funds, depending on the employees' departmental assignments.

s. Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be reported at fair value. The fair value
framework provides a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used
to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of fair
value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical
assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and fair value is determined through
the use of models or other valuation methodologies including:
• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are inactive;
• Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
• Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data
by correlation or other means.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the
fair value measurement.These unobservable inputs reflect the City's own assumptions
about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability(including
assumptions about risk). These unobservable inputs are developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances and may include the City's own data.
t. Effects of New Pronouncements
As of July 1, 2024, the City implemented the following GASB Statements:
City of Huntington Beach Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025
51 Notes to Financial Statements
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
In June 2022,the GASB issued Statement No.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 the
unified model and by amending certain previous required disclosures. See note 18 for
the effects of implementation.
In December 2023, the GASB.issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures. The
objective of this statement is to provide information to users of government financial
statements about risks that could impact a government's financial health.The statement
aims to improve the consistency and transactions. Implementation of this statement
did not have a significant impact on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2025.
The City is currently analyzing its accounting practices to determine the potential impact
on the financial statements for the following GASB Statements :
GASB Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements. The objective
of this statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to
enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making
and assessing a government's accountability. This statement also addresses certain
application issues. The requirements of this statement are effective for the City's fiscal
year ending June 30, 2026.
GASB Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets. The objective of this
statement is to establish requirements for certain types of capital assets to be disclosed
separately for purposes of note disclosures, and to establish requirements for capital
assets held for sale and note disclosures for those capital assets. The requirements
of this statement are effective for the City's financial statements for the year ending
June 30, 2026.

Investment of the Pension Trust Fund - Retirement Supplemental Fund
The Investment Policy Statement (IPS) of the Huntington Beach Supplemental Pension
Trust is established in accordance with the assignment of fiduciary duties by the State
of California Constitution and State and Local Government Codes. The purpose of the
Investment Policy is to set guidelines for a prudent investment-making process. The policy
was established with the assumption that the longer-term nature of the portfolio provides
for higher risk tolerance and short-term volatility, but more potential for capital growth. The
Investment Manager will be responsible for carrying out the activities related to the portfolio
in accordance with the IPS to meet the goals of an agreed upon risk/return profile, and in

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair
value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment,the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value is to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the
City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter
term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion
of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to
provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. Information about the sensitivity
of the fair values of the City's investments, including investments held by bond trustees,to
market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution
of the City's investments by maturity (in thousands).

Concentration of Credit Risk
The City's investment policy limits investments in any one issuer, except for U.S. Treasury
Securities, U.S. Government Agencies and the Local Agency Investment Fund, to no more
than 10% of the portfolio. In addition, no more than 50% can be invested in a single security
type or with a single financial institution and every security type has a specific limit.This is
in addition to the limits placed on investments by State law. Investments in any one issuer
(other than U.S.Treasury Securities, external investment pools, or Money Market Funds)that •
represent 5% or more of the City's total investments are as follows (in thousands):

U.S.Treasury Notes , Obligations of the United States Treasury $ 85,673
U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise
Fannie Mae Securities $ 22,994
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty
(e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value
of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The
California Government Code and the City's investment policy do not contain legal or policy
requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments,
other than the following provisions for deposits: The California Government Code requires
that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by
pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state
law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities
in the collateral pool must equal at least 110 percent of the total amount deposited by the
public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by
pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150 percent of the secured public
deposits.As of June 30, 2025,the City's deposits with financial institutions were covered by
FDIC up to $250,000, and the remaining amounts were collateralized as described above.
None of the City's investments were subject to custodial credit risk. Per the Investment
Policy's statement, the City of Huntington Beach is the registered owner of all investments
in the portfolio.

Investment in California Asset Management Program Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP).
CAMP is an investment pool offered by the California Asset Management Trust (the Trust).
The Trust is a joint powers authority and public agency created by the Declaration of Trust
and established under the provisions of the California Joint Exercise of Powers Act(California
Government Code Sections 6500 et seq., or the "Act") for the purpose of exercising the
common power of its Participants to invest certain proceeds of debt issues and surplus funds.
The Trust's activities are directed by a Board of Trustees, all of whom are employees of the
California public agencies which are participants in the Trust.The City reports investments
in CAMP at the fair value amounts provided by CAMP,which is the same as the value of the
pool share. The Pool is managed to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity
of 60 days or less and seeks to maintain a constant net asset value (NAV) per share of
$1.00. The Pool invests in obligations of the United States Government and its agencies,
high-quality, short-term debt obligations of U.S. companies and financial institutions. The
Pool is a permitted investment for all local agencies under California Government Code
Section 53601(p).
Investment in Public Agency Retirement Services Pension Rate Stabilization Program
The City established a Section 115 pension trust account within the Public Agency Retirement
Services Pension Rate Stabilization Program (PARS PRSP) to hold assets that are legally
restricted for use in administering the City's defined benefit pension plan. The pension
trust fund's specific cash and investments are managed by a third-party portfolio manager
under guidelines approved by the City.

b. Plan Description
Substantially all City employees working the equivalent of 1,000 hours per fiscal year
are eligible to participate in the Safety Plan and Miscellaneous Plan Agent multiple-
employer defined benefit plans administered by California Public Employees Retirement
System (CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for
its participating member employers. Benefit Provisions under the Plans are established
by State statutes within the Public Employee's Retirement Law. Following the passage
of AB340, Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) by the California Legislature,
employees hired on or after January 1, 2013, who were not previously enrolled in the
PERS system elsewhere, or who have had a break in service of at least six months are
required to be enrolled in this retirement program which provides a benefit level that is
lower than the benefits provided for CalPERS employees that do not meet the PEPRA
qualifications previously described. CaIPERS issues publicly available reports that include
a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and
membership information that can be found on the CaIPERS website.Copies of the CalPERS
annual financial report may be obtained from the CaIPERS Executive Office - 400 P
Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
Benefits Provided
CaIPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments,
and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years
of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Benefit provisions and
all other requirements are established by State statute and may be amended by city
contracts with employee bargaining groups.
Participant is eligible for non-industrial disability retirement if becomes disabled and has
at least 5 years of credited service. There is no special age requirement. The standard
non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent
of final compensation, multiplied by service.
Industrial disability benefits are not offered to miscellaneous employees.The City provides
industrial disability retirement benefit to safety employees. The industrial disability
retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 50 percent of final compensation.

6. Retirement Plan - Normal (Continued)
An employee's beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee dies while
actively employed.The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible
for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other preretirement death
benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit.
The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated
contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5 percent per year, plus a lump
sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service,
up to a maximum of six months' salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary
is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during
the 12 months preceding death.
Upon the death of a retiree, a one-time lump sum payment of$500 will be made to the
retiree's designated survivor(s), or to the retiree's estate.
Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each employee's retirement
allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement
and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis by 2 percent.

c. Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law ("PERL") requires
that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual
basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in
the rate.The total plan contributions are determined through CaIPERS' annual actuarial
valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary
to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year,with an additional
amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.The employer is required to contribute
the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of
employees. For the measurement period ended June 30,2024,miscellaneous participants
under the Classic and PEPRA plans are required to contribute 8.00% and 7.25% of their
annual covered salary, respectively. Safety participants under the Classic and PEPRA
plans are required to contribute 9.00% and 12.5%/ of their annual covered salary,
respectively. Fire PEPRA participants are now required to contribute 13.00%. In addition,
the City is required to make employer contributions at the actuarially determined rates
of 11.06% and 21.91%for the miscellaneous and safety plans, respectively,for the period
July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
At June 30, 2023, the valuation date, the following employees were covered by the
benefit terms for each Plan:
Miscellaneous Safety
Active members 617 359
Transferred members 546 80
Terminated members 443 83
Retired members and beneficiaries 1127 682
d. Net Pension Liability
The City's net pension liability is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension
plan's fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of.the Plan is measured as of
June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to
June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures.A summary of principal assumptions
and methods used to determine the net pension liability is illustrated below:

Actuarial Assumptions - The total pension liability in the June 30, 2023 actuarial
valuation, rolled forward to June 30, 2025 using standard update procedures, were
determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Salary Increases Varies by entry age and service
Mortality Rate Table* Derived using CaIPERS' membership data for all funds
Post Retirement Benefit The lesser of contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing Power
Increase Protection Allowance floor on purchasing power applies, 2.30%
thereafter
*The mortality table used was developed based on CaIPERS-specific data.The probabilities of
mortality are based on the 2021 CaIPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019.
Pre-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement
using 80%of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table,
please refer to the 2021 CaIPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report
from November 2021 that can be found on the CaIPERS website.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return -The long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected
future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense
and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CaIPERS took into account both
short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension
fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all of the funds' asset classes, expected
compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and
the long-term (11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal
returns for both short-term and
,lon -term the present value of benefits was calculated
g
for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single
equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash
flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns.The expected
rate of return was then set equal to the single equivalent rate calculated above and
adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses.

(2) Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study.
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that
contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution
rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates,
actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan's fiduciary net position
was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current
plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments
was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension
liability.
Subsequent Events - There were no subsequent events that would materially affect
the results presented in this disclosure.

Pension Income and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
As of the start of the measurement period (July 1, 2023), the net pension liability was
$72,908,000 for the Miscellaneous Plan and $116,324,000 for the Safety Plan. For the
measurement period ending June 30, 2024 (the measurement date), the City incurred
a pension expense of $23,021,000 and $38,095,000 for the Miscellaneous and Safety
Plans, respectively.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss.The difference
between projected and actual earnings is amortized over 5-years straight line. All other
amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives
of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive and retired) as of the
beginning of the measurement period.
The Expected Average Remaining Service Lifetime ("EARSL") is calculated by dividing the
total future service years of active employees by the total number of plan participants
(active, inactive, and retired) in the risk pool. For the 2023-24 measurement period,the
EARSL for each plan is as follows:

7. Retirement Plan - Supplemental
a. Plan Description and Benefits
The City administers a supplemental single-employer defined benefit retirement plan
(Supplemental Plan) for all employees hired prior to 1997 (exact dates are different for
various associations).The Plan is governed by a three-member Supplemental Employee
Retirement Plan and Trust Board consisting of the City Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer,
and the City Manager,or his/her designee.The Board has the authority,under the terms of
the Trust agreement,to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan.
Benefit provisions are established and may be amended through negotiations between
the City and employee bargaining associations during each bargaining period, which
are then approved through resolutions of the City Council. In Fiscal Year 2008/09, the
City established the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan and Trust, and transferred
$24,918,000 to an irrevocable trust from the prefunded amounts.The plan and trust are
reported as a pension trust fund in the City's financial statements on a full accrual basis.
The Supplemental Plan will pay the retiree an additional amount to his or her CaIPERS
retirement benefit for life. In order to be eligible for the benefit, the retiree must retire
from the City. The amount that is computed as a factor of an employee's normal
retirement allowance is computed at retirement and remains constant for his or her
life. This benefit is payable by the City for the duration of the life of the member, and
shall cease upon the employee's death. As of June 30, 2023, the date of the Plan's
most recent actuarial valuation, the average monthly benefit received by inactive plan
members and beneficiaries receiving benefits is $675. Effective in 1998 (exact dates
are different for various associations), new City employees are ineligible to participate
in the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan.
Employees Covered:At June 30,2025,the measurement date,the following employees
were covered by the benefit terms for the Plan:
Inactive employees receiving benefits 717
Active employees 36
Total 753
b. Employer Contributions
The City's policy is to make required contributions as determined by the Supplemental Plan's
actuary.The required contributions were determined as part of the June 30, 2023 actuarial
valuation. The City is required to contribute the actuarially determined rate of 3.6% of
total payroll for all permanent employees for the year ended June 30, 2025.There are no
employee contributions required for the plan. Survivor and termination benefits are not
included in the plan. Administrative costs of this plan are financed through investment
earnings.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the contributions were (in thousands):

on the Plan's investments, net of pension plan investment expenses, was 11.19%. The
money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment
expenses, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.

d. Net Pension Liability
The City's net pension liability is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension
plan's fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of
June 30, 2025, using,an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to
June 30, 2025 using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions
and methods used to determine the City's net pension liability is shown on the following
page.
Actuarial Assumptions - The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2023 actuarial
valuations for the June 30,2025 measurement date were determined using the following
actuarial assumptions:
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal, Level Percentage of Payroll
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 5.75%
Inflation 2.50%
CaIPERS 2000-2019 Experience Study plus 2.75% aggregate
Salary Increases increase .
Investment Rate of Return 5.75% Net of Investment Expenses
Mortality Rate Table CaIPERS 2000-2019 Experience Study, mortality projected fully
generational with Scale MP-2021
Retirement, Disability, CaIPERS 2000-2019 Experience Study plus 23% load on future
Withdrawal service retirement liability added to reflect recent benefits
experience.
The changes in actuarial assumptions include the following:
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 valuation were based on the
results of an actuarial experience study for the period from 2000 to 2019, including
updates to salary increase, mortality, and retirement rates.The future service retirement
liabilities load increased from 15% to 23% to reflect recent experience of benefits being
larger than anticipated.
e. Discount Rate &Sensitivity
The discount rate is used in the measurement of the Total Pension Liability. This rate
considers the ability of the fund to meet benefit obligations in the future. To make this
determination, employee contributions, benefit payments, expenses, and investment
returns are projected into the future. The Plan Net Position (assets) in future years can
then be determined and compared to its obligation to make benefit payments in those
years. As long as assets are projected to be on hand in a future year, the assumed
valuation discount is used. For this valuation, the discount rate is 5.75%, based on the
inflation assumption of 2.50% and a long-term asset allocation of 70% equities and 30%
fixed income.

Notes to Financial Statements 72
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
7. Retirement Plan — Supplemental (Continued)
According to Paragraph 30 of Statement 68, the long-term discount rate should be
determined without reduction for pension plan administrative expense. An investment
return excluding administrative expenses would have been 5.75 percent.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined
using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real
rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation)
are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, both short-term and long-term
market return expectations were taken into account along with expected pension fund
cash flows.Such cash flows were developed assuming that both members and employers
will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all future years. Using
historical returns of all the funds' asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns
were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using
a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and
long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected
rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived
at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both
short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent
to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one
quarter of one percent.

8. Other Post Employment Benefits
a. Plan Description
The City administers the following two other post employment benefit (OPEB) plans:
Postemployment Medical Insurance
The City agreed,via contract,with each employee association to provide postemployment
medical insurance to retirees.These Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) are based
on years of service and are available to all retirees who meet all three of the following
criteria:
• At the time of retirement, the employee is employed by the City.
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report 2025 City of Huntington Beach
Notes to Financial Statements 74
For Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2025
8. Other Post Employment Benefits (Continued)
• At the time of retirement,the employee has a minimum of ten years of service credit
or is granted a service connected disability retirement.
• Following official separation from the City, CaIPERS grants a retirement allowance.
The City's obligation to provide the benefits to a retiree ceases when either of the
following occurs:
• During any period the retiree is eligible to receive health insurance at the expense
of another employer; and/or
• The retiree becomes eligible to enroll automatically or voluntarily in Medicare.
The subsidy a retiree is entitled to receive is based on the retiree's years of service
credit and is limited to $344 per month after 25 years of service. If a retiree dies, the
benefits that would be payable for his or her insurance are provided to the spouse or
family for 12 months. The retiree may use the subsidy for any of the medical insurance
plans that the City's active employees may enroll in. Employees hired on or after
October 1, 2014 are not eligible for this benefit.
PEMHCA
The City provides an agent multiple-employer defined benefit healthcare plan to retirees
through CaIPERS under the California Public Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act
(PEMHCA), commonly referred to as PERS Health. PEMHCA provides health insurance
through a variety of Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and Preferred Provider
Organization (PPO) options. The PEMHCA benefits are applied to all safety employee
groups, based on retirement plan election.The benefits continue to the surviving spouse
for one year. The Huntington Beach Firefighters' Association.(HBFA) joined PEMHCA
in 2011. All other safety groups -Fire Management Association (FMA), Marine Safety
Management Association (MSOA), Police Management Association (PMA), and Police
Officers' Association (POA) - joined in 2004.
Safety employees are eligible for PEMHCA benefits if they retire from the City on or after
age 50 with at least five years of service or disability,and are eligible fora PERS pension.
As of the June 30,2024 measurement date,the following current and former employees
were covered by the benefit terms under the plan:
Postemployment
Medical Insurance PEMHCA
Retirees and beneficiaries receiving benefits 281 210
Inactive employees not yet receiving benefits 383 -
Active Plan Members 846 320
Total Plan Participants 1,510 530

8. Other Post Employment Benefits (Continued)
b. Accounting and Funding
The City utilizes the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust(CERBT),an agent multiple-
employer plan, for the postemployment medical insurance benefit. Benefits paid from
the CERBT were $838,000 for year ended June 30, 2025. The assets of the CERBT are
excluded from the accompanying financial statements since they are in an irrevocable
trust administered by CaIPERS. Copies of CalPERS' annual financial report may be
obtained from their executive office: 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA, 95814 or on their
website: www.calpers.ca.gov.The City's policy is to make 100% of each year's ARC,with
an additional amount to prefund benefits as determined annually by City Council in
order to improve the funded status of the plan.
For PEMHCA, the City selected the "unequal" method for the contribution. Under this
method,the City offered a lesser contribution for retirees than for active employees.The
City paid the PEMHCA minimum for actives ($143 in 2021, $149 in 2022, $151 in 2023 and
$157 in 2024). Beginning in 2008,Assembly Bill 2544 changed the computation for annual
increases to annuitant health care under the unequal method. Under the new provisions,
the City increases annuitant health care contributions equal to an amount not less than
five percent of the active employee contributions, multiplied by the number of years in
PEMHCA.The City's contribution for retirees is $110.60 per employee for the Huntington
Beach Firefighter's Association (HBFA) and $158.00 for all other Safety groups in 2025.
The annual increase in minimum PEMHCA contribution to CalPERS will continue until the
time that the City contribution for retirees equals the City contribution paid for active
employees.
The City's net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2024 and the total OPEB liability
used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated
June 30, 2023, based on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
• Actuarial Cost Method - Entry Age Normal
• Discount rate - 5.75%
• Projected salary increases for covered employees due to inflation - aggregate
increases of 2.75% per annum
• Investment Rate of Return - 5.75%, assuming actuarially determined contributions
funded into CERBT Investment Strategy 2
• Mortality Ratel - Derived using CalPERS' membership data for all funds
• Pre-Retirement Turnover2 - Derived using CaIPERS' membership data for all funds
• PEMHCA minimum increases for actives - $157 in 2025,with 3.50% annual increases
thereafter

Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using
a building-block method in which 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 weighting 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:

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 5.75 percent.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 those
assumptions,the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make
all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries.
Therefore,the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied
to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

9. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of losses related to torts; theft of, damage to and
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters.
The City records the liability claims as expenditures in the Self Insurance General Liability
Internal Service Fund and the workers' compensation claims in the Self Insurance Workers'
Compensation Internal Service Fund.
BICEP was created in 1988 by a joint powers agreement between the City of Huntington
Beach and four other local entities including Oxnard, Ventura, Santa Ana, and West Covina,
for the purpose of providing joint insurance coverage and related risk management services
for member cities. BICEP allows member entities to finance a claims payment pool for certain
liability claims in excess of $1,000,000 to a maximum coverage limit of $27,000,000 for
claims incurred through June 30, 2015, and $24,000,000 thereafter.

9. Risk Management (Continued)
Effective July 1, 2019, the member agencies of BICEP agreed to dissolve the Joint Powers
Authority. BICEP continues to exist for the purpose of disposing of all claims,the distribution
of assets, and any other functions necessary to conclude the affairs of BICEP as provided in
the Bylaws of the Authority. Upon dissolution of BICEP,the City purchased liability insurance
in the open marketplace, which provides insurance for claims costs exceeding the City's
self-insured retention of $1,000,000. The maximum coverage limit is $30,000,000, which
is inclusive of the self-insured retention. Claims that exceed the maximum limit of liability
are covered by the City's Self-Insurance General Liability Internal Service Fund.
There were no liability claims in the past three years that exceeded the coverage limit.
Liability Claims
Claims up to $1,000,000 are paid from the City's Self Insurance General Liability Internal
Service Fund. Payments for claims from $1,000,000 to the maximum limit discussed above
are covered by the excess liability coverage purchased by the City. Any claims exceeding
the maximum limit are covered by the Self Insurance General Liability Internal Service Fund.
The liability for these claims is recorded as part of long-term obligations in the Self Insurance
General Liability Fund and government-wide financial statements. Liabilities include amounts
incurred, but not reported.
Workers' Compensation Claims
Workers' compensation claims of up to $1,000,000 per claim are paid from the Self Insured
Workers'Comp Internal Service Fund. Excess workers' compensation coverage is purchased
through the CSAC/Prism-Excess Insurance Authority. Payments for claims from $1,000,000 to
statutory limits are covered by CSAC/Prism-Excess Insurance Authority.
The Self Insurance Workers' Comp Internal Service Fund has negative $33,518,000 net
position at year-end at the 55 percent confidence level. The City has established plans to
help reduce the deficit in this fund. This will be accomplished by additional transfers from
the General Fund, Proprietary funds, and other governmental funds in which employees are
charged over the next nine years.

15. Successor Agency Trust for Assets of the Former Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Huntington Beach
a. General Discussion
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld ABX1 26 that provided
for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action
impacted the reporting entity of the City of Huntington Beach that was previously
reported as a Redevelopment Agency within the City as a blended component unit.
' ABX1 26 provides that upon dissolution of a Redevelopment Agency, either the City
or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the "Successor Agency" to
hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government.
On January 9, 2012, the City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for the
former Redevelopment Agency in accordance with ABX1 26 as part of City resolution
number 2012-01.

15. Successor Agency Trust for Assets of the Former Redevelopment
g Y p
Agency of the City of Huntington Beach (Continued)
After enactment of the law, effective June 28, 2011, Redevelopment Agencies in the
State of California generally cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments.
Subject to the control of a newly established Oversight Board, remaining assets can only
be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including
the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable
contractual commitments).
In future fiscal years, Successor Agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount
that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable
obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the
prior Redevelopment Agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
ABX1 26 directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety
of any transfers of assets between Redevelopment Agencies and other public bodies
that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not
contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those
assets, the State Controller is required to order the available assets to be transferred
to the public body designated as of successor agency by ABX1 26.

16. Commitments and Contingencies
a. Legal Actions
There are legal actions pending against the City resulting from normal operations. In the
opinion of management and the City Attorney, the financial resolution of these actions
should not have a significant impact on these financial statements.
b. Sales Tax Sharing Agreements
City Council has agreed to provide sales tax rebates to various companies, based upon
various factors such as increased job-base or new sales tax to the City. The sales tax
rebates serve to attract and retain various companies in the City of Huntington Beach.
The City of Huntington Beach has three sales tax sharing agreements with Pinnacle
Petroleum (2029), (McKenna Subaru HB) 2033, and Surf City Auto Group II, Inc. (2038).
Pinnacle Petroleum receives a 65% rebate after base sales exceed $25,000, McKenna
Subaru HB receives a 45% rebate after base sales exceed $150,800, and Surf City Auto
Group II, Inc. receives a 50% rebate after base sales exceed $1,785,261 (which increases
by 1% annually). Sales tax rebates totaled $706,806 for the year ending June 30, 2025.

16. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
c. Cooperation and Owner Participation Agreements
On September 2, 2003,the Redevelopment Agency Approved a Cooperation Agreement
Regarding Capital Improvements in the Southeast Coastal Redevelopment Project with
the City. This agreement commits the Redevelopment Agency to reimburse the City
for a number of capital improvement projects to be undertaken as part of the Five Year
Capital Improvement Program in the Southeast Redevelopment project area starting
in FY 2003/04 as they are undertaken. The Successor Agency received its Finding of
Completion notice from the Department of Finance on May 13,2014.The Oversight Board
(to the Successor Agency) have approved and reauthorization of the loans between the
City and former Redevelopment Agency in FY 2016/17. The DOF has denied the validity
of the loans and the City has filed suit against the State. On April 22, 2022, the Superior
Court of California issued a Proposed Judgment stating that the agreement did not
constitute an enforceable obligation and that repayment was not required. The City
requested a hearing with the Court to appeal this determination. On February 17, 2023,
the Superior Court of California issued a final ruling stating that the agreement did not
constitute an enforceable obligation; thus, repayment was not required.
d. Redevelopment Successor Agency Debt to City
The City has advanced money to the Redevelopment Agency for major capital
improvements,economic development projects,and operations. In January 2011,the City
Council and Redevelopment Agency Board approved a revised Cooperation Agreement,
which included a Promissory Note that memorialized indebtedness previously incurred
by the Agency and owed to the City from a series of loans made from the City to the
Agency from 1982 to present.
The City and Successor Agency have not recorded the advances in the accompanying
financial statements due to uncertainties related to Health and Safety Code Section 34191.4,
which establishes certain restrictions and limitations on the repayment of city-agency
loans. In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 34191.4(b)(3), all other loans
between the city and former Redevelopment Agency will begin to be repaid, at a 3%
interest rate, as determined by SB 107 upon approval of the Oversight Board and the
DOF. The Oversight Board (to the Successor Agency) have approved and reauthorized
the loans between the City and former Redevelopment Agency in FY 2016/17. The DOF
has denied the validity of the loans and the City has filed suit against the State. On
April 22, 2022,the Superior Court of California issued a Proposed Judgment stating that
the majority of the agreements between the City and the former Redevelopment Agency
were not considered enforceable obligations and that repayment was not required,with
the exception of the $22,400,000 loan for the purchase of the Waterfront property.
The DOF denied this obligation in a follow up letter to the City dated August 24, 2022.
The City has requested a hearing with the Court to appeal this determination. On •
February 17, 2023, the Superior Court of California issued a final ruling confirming the
April 22, 2022 determination. As of June 30, 2025, the City recognizes $22,540,000 of
receivables relating to the Waterfront property purchase to be paid in future ROPS.

e. Successor Agency Litigation
Until 2012,the Huntington Beach Redevelopment Agency existed and received property
tax increment from property within the "City Redevelopment Project Area." In 2012,
• the State Legislature dissolved all redevelopment agencies, and all tax increment
was returned to the County for payment to other taxing entities. The only exception
was that tax increment would continue to be paid to the Successor Agency to the
City Redevelopment Agency to pay any pre-dissolution, legally binding obligations
established prior to the dissolution of the agencies. Further, the City transferred the
former Redevelopment Agency's housing obligations to the Huntington Beach Housing
Authority pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34176.
The Successor Agency contended that the 2012 Pacific City Development Agreement
was a pre-dissolution, legally binding obligation. Pacific City is a development project
that was conditioned on providing 77 affordable housing units, of which the Successor
Agency now was obliged to construct 26 units off-site, at a cost of $6,500,000. This
would not be a City General Fund obligation.

18. Restatements of Net Position
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 101,
Compensated Absences.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.
This GASB resulted in the restatement of beginning net position of governmental and

Budgetary Information
The'City Council must annually adopt a budget by June 30 of the prior fiscal year.The budgeted
expenditures become the appropriations to the various departments. The budget includes
estimates for revenue that, along with the appropriations, compute the budgetary fund balance.
The appropriated budget covers substantially all governmental fund expenditures with the
exception of capital improvement projects (capital projects funds) carried forward from prior
years, which constitute a legally authorized non-appropriated budget. The City Council may
amend the budget at any time. The City Manager may transfer funds from between object
purposes (personal services,operating expenditures, or capital outlay expenditures) within the
same department without changing the total departmental budget. Department heads,with the
Chief Financial Officer's approval, may transfer funds from like object categories of the same
department.The City Council must approve any changes to departmental budgets. Expenditures
may not exceed appropriations at the departmental level. All unused appropriations lapse at
year-end. During the year, the City Council made several supplemental appropriations which
included carryovers of prior year encumbrances, all of which were within available fund balance
and estimated revenue amounts.
The City Council adopts governmental fund budgets consistent with generally accepted principles
as legally required.There are no significant non-budgeted financial activities. Revenues for special
revenue funds are budgeted by entitlements, grants and estimates of future development and
economic growth. Expenditures and transfers are budgeted based upon available financial
resources.
On or before February 28th of each year, each department submits data to the City Manager
for budget preparation. Staff prepares the budget by fund, function, and activity. The budget
includes information on past years, current year estimates and requested appropriations for
the next fiscal year. Before May 1st, the City Council receives the proposed budget. The City
Council holds public hearings and may amend the budget by a majority vote. Changes to the
budget must be within the available revenues and reserves.
These financial schedules show budgetary data for the General and Grants Special Revenue.
The original budget, revised budget, actual expenditures, and variance amounts are shown.
The City uses an encumbrance system as an aid in controlling expenditures.When the City issues
a purchase order for goods or services, it records an encumbrance until the vendor delivers
the goods or performs the service. At year-end,the City reports all outstanding encumbrances
as committed or assigned fund balance in governmental fund types. The City reappropriates
these encumbrances into the new fiscal year.
The following pages present schedules of budget to actual comparison of the General and
Grants Special Revenue Fund's Revenues, and Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance (in
thousands).

inflation assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions.The accounting
discount rate was 7.15%for measurement dates June 30,2017 through June 30,2021,7.65%for measurement dates June 30,2015 through June 30,
2016,and 7.50%for measurement date June 30,2014.

*Beginning with the June 30,2013 valuations,CaIPERS employed an amortization and smoothing policy that will pay for all gains and losses over a
fixed 30-year period with the increases or decreases in the rate spread directly over a 5-year period.
Note:The CaIPERS Board of Administration has adopted a new amortization policy effective with the June 30,2019 actuarial valuation.The new
policy shortens the period over which actuarial gains and losses are amortized from 30 years to 20 years with the payments computed using a
level dollar amount.In addition,the new policy removes the 5-year ramp-up and ramp-down on UAL bases attributable to assumption changes and
non-investment gains/losses.The new policy removes the 5-year ramp-down on investment gains/losses.These changes will apply only to new UAL
bases established on or after June 30,2019.

*Beginning with the June 30,2013 valuations,CaIPERS employed an amortization and smoothing policy that will pay for all gains and losses over a
fixed 30-year period with the increases or decreases in the rate spread directly over a 5-year period.
Note:The CaIPERS Board of Administration has adopted a new amortization policy effective with the June 30,2019 actuarial valuation.The new
policy shortens the period over which actuarial gains and losses are amortized from 30 years to 20 years with the payments computed using a
level dollar amount.In addition,the new policy removes the 5-year ramp-up and ramp-down on UAL bases attributable to assumption changes and
non-investment gains/losses.The new policy removes the 5-year ramp-down on investment gains/losses.These changes will apply only to new UAL
bases established on or after June 30,2019.

(1)Excludes rates associated with Mello-Roos Districts
(2) In 1978,California voters passed Proposition 13 which sets the property tax rate at a 1%fixed amount.This 1%is
shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides.In 1986,the State Constitution was amended to
allow rates over the 1%base rate for voter approved general obligation debt.Valuations of real property are frozen at
the value of the property in 1975,with an allowable adjustment up to 2%per year for inflation.However,property is
assessed to its current value when a change of ownership occurs.New construction,including tenant improvements,
is assessed at its current value.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Huntington
Beach (the "City") as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and have issued our
report thereon dated December 31, 2025. Professional standards require that we advise
you of the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional
standards, is to form and express an opinion about whether the financial statements that
have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material
respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your
respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit
to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City solely for the
purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning
such internal control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are,
in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial
reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of
identifying other matters to communicate to you.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously
communicated to you.
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team, others in our firm, and our firm, have complied with all relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence under the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants ("AICPA") independence standards, contained in the Code of Professional
Conduct.
125
We identified self-review threats to independence as a result of non-attest services
provided. Those non-attest services included proposing journal entries detected during the
audit process.
To mitigate the risk, management has reviewed and approved journal entries that were
detected during the audit process. Additionally, we utilize a quality control reviewer to perform a
second review of journal entries. We believe these safeguards are sufficient to reduce the
independence threats to an acceptable level.
Significant Risks Identified
We have identified the following significant risks:
• Implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 101 —
Compensated Absences due to the complexity of the standard and being the first
year of implementation.
• Compliance with Federal grant requirements
Qualitative Aspects of the Entity's Significant Accounting Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. The
City changed the accounting policies related to compensated absences by adopting
Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards (GASB Statement) No. 101,
Compensated Absences, and risk disclosures related to government vulnerabilities due to
concentrations and constraints by adopting Statement of Governmental Accounting
Standards (GASB Statement) No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures, in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2025. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under
professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant
unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or
emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by
management and are based on management's current judgments. Those judgments are
normally based on 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 markedly from management's current judgments.
The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are:
• Judgments relating to the collectability of accounts and notes receivable. We
evaluated management's judgments for reasonableness.
• Judgments with respect to recording claims payable. We evaluated
management's judgments for reasonableness.
• Judgments involving calculation of the pension obligations. We evaluated the
actuarial valuation report supporting the calculations.
126
• Judgments involving the calculation of the other post-employment benefit
(OPEB) obligation. We evaluated the actuarial valuation report supporting the
calculations.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates and
determined that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole and
in relation to the applicable opinion units.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly
sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive
disclosures affecting the City's financial statements were:
• The disclosure of pensions in note 6 to the financial statements.
• The disclosure of OPEB in note 8 to the financial statements.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of
the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards also require us to accumulate all
known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe
are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further,
professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected
misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account
balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable
opinion. There was one uncorrected misstatement to restate beginning fund balance and
correct revenues for monies received related to the prior fiscal year. The effect in the
current and prior period, as determined by management, is immaterial to the financial
statements as a whole. Uncorrected misstatements or matters underlying those uncorrected
misstatements could potentially cause future-period financial statements to be materially
misstated, even though the uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial
statements currently under audit.
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected
misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit
procedures. There was one material misstatement to correct a receivable and associated
unavailable revenue in the Grants Special Revenue fund.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management
as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting,
reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the City's financial statements or
the auditor's report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.

Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in
the attached letter dated December 31, 2025.
Management's Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing
and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were
no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a
variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards,
significant events or transactions that occurred during the year, operating and regulatory
conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks
of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our
retention as the City's auditors.
Other Information Included in Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information,
whether financial or nonfinancial, included in the City's annual reports, does not extend
beyond the information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform
any procedures to corroborate such other information. However, in accordance with such
standards, we have read the information and considered whether such information, or the
manner of its presentation, was materially inconsistent with its presentation in the financial
statements.
Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a
material misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that
such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the
information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and
management of the City and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.

Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of the Air Quality
Special Revenue Fund Performed
in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
City Council
City of Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach, 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 Air Quality
Special Revenue Fund of the City of Huntington Beach, California, as of and for the year ended
June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise
the Air Quality Special Revenue Fund of the City of Huntington Beach's basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 31, 2025.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Air Quality
Special Revenue Fund'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 Air Quality Special Revenue Fund's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Air Quality Special
Revenue Fund's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be
prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material
weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
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 weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have
not been identified.
129
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Air Quality Special Revenue
Fund's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements,
including applicable provisions of Assembly Bill 2766 (AB2766) Chapter 1705 (Health and
Safety Code Sections 44220 through 44247), 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 or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entity'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 entity's
internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other
purpose.

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 the associated findings are as follows:

Results: No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures.

provided by the State Department of Finance.
