Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Councilmembers and Santa Clarita residents:
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Santa Clarita (City)
for Fiscal Year 2024-25, is hereby submitted in accordance with Chapter 2.12 of the City
of Santa Clarita Municipal Code. This report provides the City Council and the public with
an understanding of the financial condition of the City.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City.
As such, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of
the information contained in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these
representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive framework of
internal controls that are designed to protect the City's assets from loss, theft, or misuse,
and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City's financial
statements. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the
City's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free from
material misstatement. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is
accurate in all material respects and reported in a manner designed to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations of the various funds of the City of Santa Clarita.
State Law requires the City to prepare an annual financial report. This report fulfills that
obligation. The Pun Group, LLP, an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants, has
issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion on the financial statements of the City for the year
ended June 30, 2025. The independent auditor's report is located at the front of the
financial section of this report. The ACFR has been prepared in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the financial reporting requirements
prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). These reporting
requirements specify that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and
analysis to accompany the financial statements in the form of a Management's Discussion
and Analysis (MD&A). The MD&A, which immediately follows the independent auditor's
report, complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.
Also, as a recipient of federal and state financial assistance, the City is required to have a
"Single Audit" performed by our independent audit firm. The Single Audit was designed to
meet the special needs of the federal grantor agencies. The standards governing the Single
Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Councilmembers and Santa Clarita residents
Audit engagements require that the independent auditor report on the fair presentation of
the financial statements and the audited government's internal controls and compliance
with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements
involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in the City's
separately -issued Single Audit Report.
CITY PROFILE
The City of Santa Clarita was incorporated on December 15, 1987, as a General Law City
and operates under a City Council/City Manager form of government. It is located between
the Santa Susana and San Gabriel mountain ranges, approximately 35 miles northwest
from the City of Los Angeles. It is comprised of the communities of Canyon Country,
Newhall, Saugus, and Valencia, encompassing approximately 73.5 square miles. With a
population of approximately 232,377, the City is the 3rd largest in Los Angeles County and
the 171h largest in the State of California. Santa Clarita offers an expansive parks and
recreation network, with 40 beautiful park facilities, more than 13,000 acres of preserved
open space, and 150 miles of trails and paseos designed for commuting and recreational
use, including walking, hiking, biking, and skating. The City's unique blend of upscale
sophistication with small-town charm and old -west heritage allows it to accommodate
growth while continuing to provide an excellent quality of life for residents.
The City's five Councilmembers are elected to four-year overlapping terms, with elections
held bi-annually. Beginning in 2024, the Council elections transitioned to by -district
elections. The position of Mayor is annually selected by the Councilmembers. The City
Council is responsible for, among other things, passing ordinances, adopting the budget,
setting policy, and appointing committees. The City Council appoints the City Manager,
who is responsible for implementing the policies of the Council, overseeing the day-to-day
operations of City government, and for appointing and managing the various Directors.
The City Council also appoints the City Attorney.
The City provides, either directly or under contract, a full range of municipal services,
including public safety, construction, maintenance of streets and other infrastructure,
public libraries, public works, parks, recreation, community development, and cultural
events. The City also provides services through the Santa Clarita Public Financing
Authority (PF A), which is a blended component unit of the City of Santa Clarita. The
financial activities of this entity are included in this report, as its operations are under the
control of the City.
The City operates on a fiscal year basis, which begins July 1 and ends June 30. The City's
Municipal Code requires the City Manager to prepare a budget and present it to the City
Council each year. The budget process begins in January of each year and is carried out
under the direction of the City Manager in cooperation with the various City departments.
The proposed operating and Capital Budget is submitted by the City Manager to City
Council for adoption by June 30, to take effect at the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1.
Budgetary control for the City is maintained through its accounting systems. Once
adopted, the budget may be amended throughout the year as necessary. Budgetary control
Vlll
Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern, City Councilmembers and Santa Clarita residents
is established at the category level within each fund. The budgetary control for the Capital
Improvement Program is at the program level.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The City of Santa Clarita is one of Southern California's most desirable places to live and
do business. City officials pride themselves on the organization's ability to balance the
needs of locally -based businesses with those of the community members, resulting in an
unmatched quality of life.
The City took home top honors as the Most Business -Friendly City in the County by the
Los Angeles County Business Federation, and continues to have a community -minded,
business -driven approach to economic development. The City is committed to
business -friendly practices that have resulted in a robust local economy. These practices
have positioned Santa Clarita well for the future.
Santa Clarita's economy remains strong, diverse, and steadily growing. In 2025, a wide
range of new businesses opened across the community, reflecting continued confidence in
the local market. Recent additions include Main Chick Hot Chicken, Pro County, India
Garden, Charley's Cheesesteaks, Sierra Grill House, El Fuego Newhall, Tacos La Nina,
Slurp & Sip, Pinkberry, Sodam, Slice House, Cafe 86, Valencia Lighting and Fans,
Canyon Urgent Care, Focal Sim Racing, and Dog Haus.
Several well-known brands deepened their investment in Santa Clarita by opening
additional locations, including Jersey Mike's, Starbucks, Chipotle, Sprouts, Black Bear
Diner, D&D FireArt Cuisine, The Habit, Handel's Ice Cream, and Planet Fitness. This
growth reflects strong customer demand and business confidence, as companies continue
to reinvest locally to meet the needs of a thriving consumer base and growing workforce.
Old Town Newhall, the City's premier Arts and Entertainment District, continues to
flourish with the openings of Purple Planet Creative Space, RJM Grill & Cafe, Goldie
Salon and Boutique, and Society Pizza, adding to the area's mix of dining, retail, and
creative experiences.
There are several new developments taking shape in the City. On the residential side,
projects include Riverview - which will feature 318 units, The Hartwell - a five -story
mixed -use project which includes 98 apartments and over 6,300 square feet of commercial,
Bouquet Residential - with 350 units, the Tesoro Highlands - with 820 homes and Skyline
Ranch - which is a 55+ gated community. On the industrial side, Pacific Industrial has
completed their 174,000-square-foot warehouse which has been leased by DrinkPak and
Oakridge Industrial completed a 430,000-square-foot business park.
Commercial activity remains healthy across all sectors. Industrial vacancies are at 9.5
percent in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 7 percent in 2024, reflecting new space
becoming available and sustained interest from logistics and production users. Office
vacancies improved to 10 percent, down from 14.3 percent last year, signaling renewed
ix
Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern, City Councilmembers and Santa Clarita residents
leasing activity. Retail vacancies experienced a small increase at 6.1 percent compared to
5.5 percent, underscoring steady consumer demand.
Santa Clarita also continues to thrive as one of California's leading film destinations. In
Fiscal Year 2024-25, the Film Office issued 379 permits, generating 770 film days and
nearly $16 million in estimated economic impact. The City is home to nearly 60 sound
stages, 10 movie ranches, and numerous production facilities that attract major television
and feature film projects. Popular shows such as "N.C.I.S.," "S.W.A.T.... "Dr. Odyssey,",
"Paradise" and "9-1-1," along with films like "The Accountant 2" and "A Big Bold
Beautiful Journey," filmed locally, supporting local jobs and small businesses while
reinforcing Santa Clarita's reputation as a top filming destination.
Tourism remains another key contributor to the City's economic vitality. In Fiscal Year
2024-25, Transient Occupancy Tax revenue added more than $5.5 million to the General
Fund. The Tourism Marketing District (TMD), a partnership between the City and local
hotels, generated over $1 million to support marketing and event attraction efforts that
drive visitor spending. Notable events this year included Boots in the Park featuring Old
Dominion, the Grace Baptist Shepherds' Conference, the L.A. Sports Net Softball
Tournament, the Legends FC SCV Soccer Tournament, Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic
Mountain, and the Spartan Race, along with numerous hockey tournaments, basketball,
cross-country, and swim competitions.
Together, Santa Clarita's growing business community, thriving film industry and strong
tourism sector illustrate a balanced and resilient local economy. Continued investment in
infrastructure, business development, and quality of life ensures Santa Clarita remains one
of Southern California's most desirable places to live, work, and visit.
Santa Clarita recognizes the important role education plays in the success of the
community. The City is home to three premier educational institutions, including the
California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), College of the Canyons, and The Master's
University. These colleges offer world -class instruction and programming to prepare
students to become the next generation of business professionals and leaders.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
Santa Clarita is one of California's model cities, boasting the essential elements needed
for well-balanced living and total well-being. Santa Clarita remains one of the safest cities
in California among cities with populations exceeding 150,000. Santa Clarita is home to a
well-educated population, with nearly 72 percent of adults aged 25 and older having
attained some college or higher, compared to Los Angeles County, which averages 59
percent.
The City has experienced steady growth since its incorporation in 1987 and City officials
continue to work directly with the private and public sectors to attract new businesses to
the Santa Clarita Valley. The City is focused on retaining existing companies and
encouraging their growth within the City while working to attract new businesses, thereby
X
Honorable Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Councilmembers and Santa Clarita residents
creating new jobs for residents. Santa Clarita has set an aggressive goal of creating two
jobs for every household, thereby providing an increased opportunity for residents to work
close to home.
The City provides necessary funding for essential services for City Council and
community -identified priorities, while taking steps to ensure the City remains in good
financial health. Twice per year, the City prepares extended forecasts for the General Fund
to determine the future impact of current actions. These forecasts indicate a stable General
Fund over the next few years, primarily due to projected marginal increases in sales and
property taxes. The City of Santa Clarita has practiced smart growth in prosperous
financial times and is well prepared for times when revenue projections do not include
growth.
The City maintains a General Fund balance sufficient to provide for various identified
contingencies, as well as an established operating reserve. In addition, the General Fund
contributes annually to the City's facilities fund, which provides for major maintenance and
replacement of infrastructure and capital improvements. The City's Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) is a component of the annual budget process that addresses the City's short -
and long-term capital needs. Just as important, the CIP emphasizes a plan of action that
effectively maintains the existing infrastructure to a sound physical standard, as well as
providing new facilities to support current growth and complement new development.
The City has maintained an elite 'AAA' issuer credit rating (ICR) by S&P Global Ratings
(S&P) since 2012 and has a "stable" outlook. The City demonstrated strength in economy
and management areas, as well as strong budgetary flexibility and liquidity with an
operating surplus. S&P recognized the City's budgetary flexibility as among the strongest
nationwide for cities of comparable size with an available fund balance. The ICR reflects
S&P's forward -looking opinion of the City's overall creditworthiness and the capacity and
willingness to meet financial obligations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
6 Hutton Centre Drive, Su to 1200
Santa Ana, CaOufornia 92707
www.pungroup.cpa (M
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Clarita, California (the "City"), as of and for the
year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's
basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City, 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 ( "Government Auditing Standards "). 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 Matters
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Notes 1 and 19 to the financial statements, the City adopted new accounting principle, GASB
Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences in 2025 and resulted in restatement of beginning fund balances. Our
opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
ORANGE COUNTY • SAN DIEGO • SACRAMENTO • WALNUT CREEK • LAS VEGAS • PHOENIX 000
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, California
Page 2
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 Responsibility 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 generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards,
we
• exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining,
on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
City's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise
substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control -related matters that we identified
during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion
and Analysis, the Budgetary Comparison Schedules, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related
Ratios, the Schedules of Contributions — Pensions, the Schedules of Changes in Net Other Postemployment Benefits
Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedules of Contributions — Other Postemployment Benefits 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.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, California

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the City's basic financial statements. The accompanying Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the Combining and Individual 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 report. The other information comprises
the Introductory and Statistical Sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor's report
thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an
opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and
consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or
the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that
an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 12, 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, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely
to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an 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
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025
This discussion and analysis of the City of Santa Clarita's (the City) financial performance provides an
overview of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Our analysis includes
information regarding the City's overall financial position and results of operations to assist users in
evaluating the City's financial position, a discussion of significant changes that occurred in funds, and
information regarding significant budget variances. In addition, it describes the activities during the year for
capital assets and long-term debt. We end our discussion and analysis with a description of currently known
facts, decisions and conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or
results of operations. Please read it in conjunction with the accompanying transmittal letter, the basic
financial statements and the accompanying notes to those financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $1.75 billion. Of this amount,
$274 million represents unrestricted net position that may be used to meet the City's ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors. The City's deferred outflows of resources total $30.2 million
and deferred inflows of resources total $22.0 million.
• The City's total deferred outflows of resources decreased by $6.5 million. The deferred inflows of
resources decreased by $3.3 million. The changes in deferred outflow and inflows were related
primarily to Other Post -Employment Benefits (OPEB) and Pensions (Table 1).
• The City's total net position increased by $94.2 million. Net position of the business -type activities
increased by $2.0 million, and the net position of the governmental activities increased by $92.2
million (Table 1 & 2).
• The net capital assets of the City's governmental activities increased by $38.2 million, or 3.09%
over last fiscal year. The increase was in part due to increases of $43.6 million in construction in
progress. This increase is attributed to: 1) a $20.5 million addition for the Vista Canyon Bridge; 2)
a $7.6 million addition for the Rink Sports Pavilion; 3) a $5.8 million addition for the Energy
Efficiency project; and 4) a $3.8 million and $2.9 million addition for Old Orchard Park and David
March Park, respectively. See Note 9 to the financial statements for additional information.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $517 million. This represents an increase of $49 million as compared to the prior
year.
• Within governmental funds, the General Fund reported a fund balance of $305 million, an increase
of $23 million over the prior year. This increase is primarily attributed to 1) investment income being
$4.2 million higher as a result of strong market performance and a higher overall fair market value
of the City's investment portfolio as of June 30, 2025; and 2) taxes being $3.5 million higher as a
result of growth. Sales taxes generated by autos/transportation and the City's share of state/county
pools increased by 12% and 10%, respectively, over the prior year. Property taxes saw an increase
as a result of continued housing sales with higher assessed valuations. Transient occupancy taxes
saw an increase due to the opening of a new Hampton Inn, higher overall daily room rates, and
higher occupancy rates as a result of accommodating displaced homeowners, insurance adjusters,
and first responders related to the Palisades, Eaton, and Hughes fires. Capital outlay expenditures
are $5.1 million lower in fiscal year 2024-2025 due to the one-time purchase of the Citrus Building
in the prior year. Issuance of debt also increased by $1.8 million primarily due to a new subscription
under GASB Statement No. 96-Subscription Liabilities for the City's Accela permitting system and
two new leases under GASB Statement No. 87-Leases for a Kyocera equipment lease of
printer/copiers and an equipment lease of Flock Safety license plate readers.
• The financial statements presented herein include all of the activities of the City and its component
unit using the integrated approach as prescribed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No. 34. The three components of the basic financial statements are as follows:
1) Government -Wide Financial Statements
The Government -Wide Financial Statements present the financial picture of the City from the
economic resources measurement focus using the accrual basis of accounting in a manner
similar to a private -sector business. These statements include all assets and deferred outflows
of resources of the City (including infrastructure) as well as all liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources (including long-term debt).
USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT
2) Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements include statements for each of the three categories of activities:
governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. For governmental activities, these fund statements tell
how these services were financed in the short term, as well as what remains for future
spending. Fund financial statements also report the City's operations in more detail than the
government -wide statements by providing information about the City's most significant funds
and other funds.
3) Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information necessary to enable the user to fully understand the
various financial statements.
In addition to the basic financial statements and notes, this report contains other supplementary information.
REPORTING THE CITY AS A WHOLE — GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
One of the most important questions asked about the City's finances is, "Is the City as a whole better or
worse off as a result of the year's activities?" The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
report information about the City as a whole, and its activities, in a way to answer this question. These
statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar
to the accounting used by most private -sector companies. All of the current year's revenues and expenses
are taken into account, regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The Statement of Net Position reports all of the City's assets and deferred outflows of resources, and
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position.
Net position is one way to measure the City's financial health or financial position. Over time, increases or
decreases in the City's net position is an indication of whether its financial health is improving or
deteriorating. Other things to consider are non -financial factors, such as changes in the economy due to
external factors that would cause an increase or decrease in consumer spending.
The Statement of Activities presents information relating to how the City's net position changed during the
fiscal year. All activities resulting in changes in net position are reported when earned or incurred,
regardless of the receipt or disbursement of the related transaction's cash flows. Some of the revenues and
expenses reported in this statement will result in future fiscal period cash flows, such as the receipt of
uncollected taxes and the payment of interest expense or compensated absences.
In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, we separate the City's activities as follows:
Governmental Activities — Most of the City's basic services are reported in this category, including general
administration (City Manager, City Clerk, Finance, etc.), public safety, public works, recreation,
neighborhood services, community services, and community development (planning). These activities are
distinguished due to the use of property taxes, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, user fees, interest
income, franchise fees, state and federal grants, contributions from other agencies, and other revenues to
finance these activities.
Business -Type Activities — City functions that are intended to be primarily self-supporting through the
imposition of user fees and charges are reported in the business -type activity category. Business -type
activities for the City consist of transit activities related to the operation of the City's local public
transportation system.
Component Unit Activities — The City of Santa Clarita is the primary government unit to one legally
separate entity. The financial activity and data of the Santa Clarita Public Financing Authority has been
accounted for within the funds of the City, and therefore, separate component unit financial information is
not presented within the financial statements.
REPORTING THE CITY'S MOST SIGNIFICANT FUNDS — FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to account for and accumulate financial information related
to a specific activity or objective. Some funds are required to be established by State law and bond
covenants; however, management established many other funds to help it control and manage money for
particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants and
other resources. The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds
and other funds — not the City as a whole. The City's three types of funds are governmental, proprietary
and fiduciary.
Governmental Funds — Most of the City's basic services are reported in governmental funds.
Governmental fund financial statements focus on how money flows in and out of those funds and the
balances left at year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting
method called "modified accrual" accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can
readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the
City's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information
helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future
to finance the City's programs. Because the focus of the governmental funds is narrower than that of the
government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for the
governmental funds with similar information presented for the governmental activities in the government -
wide financial statements. Reconciliation of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government -Wide
Financial Statements is provided to explain the differences created by this integrated approach.
The City reports governmental fund financial information within 48 governmental funds. The General Fund,
Bridge and Thoroughfare Fund, Impact Fee Fund, and Landscape Maintenance District #1 Fund are
presented separately as major funds in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the Governmental
Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances. Financial data for the
remaining 44 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Supporting financial
information on each of the other governmental funds is also provided within the report.
Proprietary Funds — The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. When the City charges
customers for the services it provides, these services are generally reported in a type of proprietary fund
known as an enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -
type activities in the government -wide financial statements, but the proprietary fund statements provide
more detail and additional information, such as a statement of cash flows. The City uses the Transit
Enterprise Fund to account for the activities related to transit operations.
Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among
the City's various functions. The City uses three internal service funds to account for costs related to self-
insurance, computer replacement and vehicle -equipment replacement.
Proprietary funds are reported in the same way all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position
and the Statement of Activities. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for
the Transit Enterprise Fund, which is considered to be a major fund of the City. All of the internal service
funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements.
Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the
supplementary information section of this report.
1I:1=11104Iwe_F'sI: -I&II=1 ==;I1.11193r_1: d11J►1•I'Ir_%r=117i1=1►11K
Reporting the City's Fiduciary Responsibilities
The City is the trustee and custodian, or fiduciary, for certain funds held for the benefit of other parties
outside of the City. The City's fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of Fiduciary Net
Position and Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. These activities were excluded from the City's
other financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The City is
responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the
government -wide and fund financial statements.
OTHER INFORMATION
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information concerning the comparison of budget and actual results for the major
governmental funds, other post -employment benefits money weighted rate of return, schedule of changes
in the City's net pension liability, OPEB and related ratios, and a schedule of the City's pension and OPEB
contributions. This section is located after the Notes to Financial Statements.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with the other governmental funds, internal
service funds and fiduciary funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary
information described in the previous paragraph in the supplementary information section.
THE CITY AS A WHOLE
The analysis below focuses on the net position (Table 1) and changes in net position (Table 2) of the City's
governmental and business -type activities.
The City's net position may be analyzed and used as an indicator of the City's overall financial condition.
The City's combined net position increased by $94.2 million, increasing from $1.66 billion to $1.75 billion.

The City's net position is made up of three components: Net Investment in Capital Assets, Restricted Net
Position and Unrestricted Net Position.
As of June 30, 2025, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources by $1.75 billion. The largest component of the City's net position, 72%, is represented by its
$1.26 billion net investment in capital assets (e.g., infrastructure, land, buildings and improvements,
equipment, and construction in progress, less accumulated depreciation and any related outstanding debt
used to acquire the capital assets). These capital assets are used to provide services to the citizens, and
therefore are not available to finance future operations. In addition, resources necessary to repay the
related debt must be provided by sources other than the capital assets, as the assets themselves cannot
be used to satisfy these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City's net position, 12.4% represents resources subject to external restrictions
on how they may be used. The remaining 15.6% of unrestricted net position, $274.1 million, may be used
to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

THE CITY AS A WHOLE (CONTINUED)
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in both categories of
governmental and business -type net position consistent with prior years. Net position for governmental
activities increased by $92.2 million over the prior year. The unrestricted net position of the business -type
activities increased by $5.5 million.
Governmental Activities
Revenues from governmental activities increased by $30.5 million. The cost of all governmental activities
this year was $232.3 million, an increase of 14% over the past year. As shown in the Statement of Activities,
the governmental activities expenses were ultimately financed in part by the taxpayers, as $97.9 million in
revenues were generated by service revenues received from the performance of these activities; another
$30 million was received from government agencies and other organizations that subsidized certain
programs with operating grants and contributions; and another $54.4 million in revenues was generated
from capital grants and contributions. The $27.3 million increase in capital grants and contributions is
attributed to: 1) $17 million in Measure R Highway Operational Improvement funds for the continued
construction of the Vista Canyon Bridge project, which will provide a secondary access point from Soledad
Canyon Road to the Vista Canyon community and Metrolink station; and 2) $10 million in Transportation
Development Act (TDA) Article 8 funds for the completion of the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Overlay & Slurry
Seal project to maintain the quality and viability of the City's street infrastructure.
Overall, the City's governmental program and general revenues amounted to $320.3 million, which funded
the expenses and resulted in an $84 million increase in net position. The increase of $1.5 million in Property
Taxes revenue is attributed to continued housing sales activity with higher assessed valuations. The $2.0
million increase in Other Taxes is primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in Sales Tax generated by
autos/transportation and the City's share of state/county pools, which increased by 12% and 10%,
respectively, over the prior year. Transient occupancy taxes saw an $250 thousand increase due to the
opening of a new Hampton Inn, higher overall daily room rates, and higher occupancy rates as a result of
accommodating displaced homeowners, insurance adjusters, and first responders related to the Palisades,
Eaton, and Hughes fires. The increase of $3.2 million in Other revenues is mainly attributed to a $4.7 million
increase in investment income compared to the prior year due to strong market performance and a higher
overall fair market value of the City's investment portfolio as of June 30, 2025.
Expenditures from governmental activities increased by $28.6 million, mainly due to a $26.2 million increase
in Public Works expenditures. The main contributors to the increase in Public Works are: 1) a $5.7 issuance
of Bridge and Thoroughfare credit which includes a net credit issuance of $3.9 million associated with Sand
Canyon Plaza project, and a net credit issuance of $885 thousand associated with the Copper Hill Bridge
Widening project; and 2) $14.4 million net additions from capital asset expenditures. The net capital asset
expenditure additions include: 1) $20.5 million for the Vista Canyon Bridge; 2) $7.6 million for the Rink
Sports Pavilion; 3) $5.8 million for the Energy Efficiency project; and 4) a $3.8 million and $2.9 million for
Old Orchard Park and David March Park, respectively. Neighborhood Services had a $2.1 million increase
mainly due to the following contributors: 1) an increase of $1.3 million in personnel expenditures due to a
4% cost of living adjustment; 2) an increase to the Vista Canyon Wastewater Standby District Fund for
increased electric utility costs as a result of Southern California Edison rate increases ($124,383) and
increased contractual services costs associated with the water factory operator contract taken over by the
City for a full year in Fiscal Year 2024-2025 versus three months in the prior year ($202,555). Recreation
and Community Services had a $2.4 million increase mainly due to the following: 1) $1.3 million in personnel
expenditures due to a 4% cost of living adjustment and the movement of the City's Centre operations from
Community Development to Recreation and Community Services in the current year 2) $1 million increase
in depreciation expenditures mainly due to completion and depreciation of the City's Central Park Build Out
project; $285,000 for the operation and maintenance of the new Valencia Community Center. Public Safety
decreased $2.0 million primarily due to the City recording the remaining balance owed for the City's 100%
share of Fire Station 104, which was $1.5 million less than the prior year. Interest and fiscal charges
decreased by $1.5 million due to the payoff of 11 Bridge and Thoroughfare interfund loans in the prior year.

Business -Type Activities
Business -type activities increased the City's net position by $2.0 million for the current year. Business -type
activities revenues decreased by $756 thousand during the year for a total of $37.0 million in revenues,
excluding transfers in from governmental activities. The decrease is mainly attributed to operating grants
and contributions, which decreased by $3.8 million due to: 1) the City utilizing its remaining balance of one-
time Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) funding to support
transit operations, which was $1.9 million less than the prior year; and 2) the City receiving $2.4 million
less, collectively, in Measure R and Measure M Bus Operation funds from the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority's funding mark due to sales tax performance being lower than
anticipated in the prior years. Transit expenditures decreased by $3 million, primarily due to Vista Canyon
Metrolink Station rail related work being turned over to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority at
project completion in prior year.
THE CITY'S FUNDS
The governmental funds reported a combined fund balance at the end of the current fiscal year of $517
million, an increase of $49 million over the prior year. Approximately $198 million is restricted and already
reserved for specific restricted purposes.
The total governmental fund balance includes the General Fund balance of $305 million. The General Fund
is the chief operating fund of the City. The unassigned fund balance of $63 million is available for spending
at the City's discretion. More detailed information about the City's classification of fund balances are
presented in Note 18 to the financial statements.
Other major fund balance changes are noted below:
• In the current year, the TDA Article 8 special revenue fund and Measure R Highway Operational
Improvement special revenue fund are classified as a major fund. See Note 19 for more
information.
• The Bridge and Thoroughfare Fund increased $1.4 million due to a $3.0 million increase in Bridge
and Thoroughfare fees collected primarily in the Valencia Bridge and Thoroughfare District
associated with the Tesoro Highlands development.
10
THE CITY'S FUNDS (Continued)
• The Impact Fee Fund's fund balance increased by $2.5 million mainly due to a $5.7 million in
Developer Fees, which is $527,305 higher than prior year. Also contributed to the fund balance
increase was an increase of $769,282 in investment income, which is $408,568 higher than prior
year, due to higher fair market value in investment, when compared to prior year. A $1.5 million
decrease in Public Safety Expenditure also contributed to the fund balance increase. The decrease
was due to a lower remaining balance from the Fire Station Reimbursement.
The Landscape Maintenance District's fund balance increased by $1.4 million primarily due to
consumer price index increases to special assessments and an increase of $432 thousand in
investment income as a result of strong market performance and a higher overall fair market value
of the City's investment portfolio.
In addition to the major funds, the fund balances for the other governmental funds experienced an
aggregate increase of $18.8 million.
Governmental Funds fund balance changes are noted below:
• The Public Library Fund increased $2.7 million as a result of higher assessed valuations yielding
higher property tax revenues as well as higher investment income from strong market performance
and a higher overall fair market value of the City's investment portfolio. In addition, overall annual
expenditures were lower than annual revenues, resulting in fund balance accumulating in the fund
for future expenditures.
The Measure W Safe Clean Water Fund increased $2.6 million primarily due to overall annual
expenditures being lower than annual revenues. Revenue remained steady at $3.3 million while
capital expenditures decreased by $0.7 million due to lower expenditures incurred for the Via
Princessa Park project when compared to the prior year.
The Proposition C Local Return Fund increased by $5 million and the Proposition A Local Return
Fund increased by $1.3 million as a result of utilizing one-time CRRSA and American Rescue Plan
Act (ARPA) funds to fund transit operations, allowing Proposition A and C Local Return funds to
accumulate and fund transit operations in future years. In addition, the Proposition C Local Return
Fund expended $4.2 million less for Overlay and Slurry projects. The utilization of $4.2 million of
Proposition C Local Return funds in prior year was necessary to ensure local return funds did not
expire as a result of accumulating fund balances due to the one-time CRRSA and ARPA funds.
• The Park Dedication Fund increased by $1.9 million primarily due to the collection of Park
Dedication fees associated with the Sand Canyon Plaza development project.
The Street Lighting District Fund increased by $2.0 million due to overall annual revenues
exceeding annual expenditures, accumulating fund balance to pay for future expenditures,
including the future payoff of the City's Streetlight bonds.
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government -wide financial
statements, but in more detail. The total net position for the Transit Enterprise Fund increased over the prior
year by $2.0 million. The increase was primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in transit operating revenue
and a $3.0 million decrease in transit expenditures when compared to the prior year. The prior year
decrease in transit expenditures was a result of turning over Vista Canyon Metrolink Station rail related
work to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority at project completion. The unrestricted portion of
the business -type activities net position increased by $5.5 million from the prior year.
The Internal Service Funds net position increased by $2.0 million or 15.1 %. The ending fund balance for
Internal Service Funds is $15.4 million, of which $13.9 million is unrestricted.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Comparison of the fiscal year 2024-2025 original (adopted) general fund budgeted expenditures and
transfers of $166.0 million to the final budgeted expenditures of $201.8 million results in a net increase of
$35.8 million.
IM
THE CITY'S FUNDS (CONTINUED)
Included in this net increase is $22,256,517 committed purchase orders and contracts from the prior June
30 balance, as well as $3,014,873 of prior fiscal year operating and capital improvement projects approved
for carryover into fiscal year 2024-2025.
Original Budget Continued Encumbrances Beg. Balance - Supplemental Final Budget
+ Appropriations + = Changes =
$165,977,621 + $3,014,873+ $22,256,517 = $191,249,011 + $ 10,525,074 = $201,774,085
Comparing the beginning budget balance of $191.2 million with the final budget of $201.8 million indicates
the General Fund had a supplemental budgetary increase of $10.5 million during the fiscal year. The
budgetary increase was primarily due to funding appropriations for the Haskell Canyon Bike Park project
($4.5 million), purchase of the Vasquez Canyon Ranch property ($2.6 million), and Dockweiler Drive
Extension project ($2.1 million).
During the mid -year budget review, budgeted general fund revenue had an decrease of $808,448, inclusive
of transfers in. Included in this figure are decreases of $1.3 million in sales tax revenue due to slower than
anticipated growth; $160,000 in film permits and fees as a result of continued impacts from recent industry
strikes; $100,000 in right-of-way encroachment permits; and $100,000 in grading inspections due to project
delays.
It also includes increases of $170,000 in community preservation and parking citations due to enforcement
activities remaining at consistent levels; $71,000 in field and facility rentals as a result of continued demand;
$200,000 in record maintenance due to higher than anticipated residential tract and commercial permit
activity; and $187,774 transfer in from the Fire Facilities Fund for the City's five percent share of fire district
administrative fees, and an $88,186 transfer in from the Eastside Bridge & Thoroughfare District Fee Fund
for the reimbursement of prior year Vista Canyon Bridge project expenditures.
At year-end, the City's actual general fund revenues, excluding transfers in, were $14.7 million more than
the final budgetary estimates. Actual general fund expenditures, excluding transfers out, were less than the
final budgetary estimates by $53.9 million, which is due to operational savings and capital projects carried
forward to the next fiscal year.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The City had $1.36 billion (net of accumulated depreciation) invested in a broad range of capital assets.

parcel transferred from the Vista Canyon developer to the City per the development's condition of
approval ($0.52 million).
12
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION (CONTINUED)
Major capital asset events during the year included:
• Infrastructure had a net decrease totaling $4.3 million as there were no major additions to
infrastructure and annual depreciation was higher than current year additions.
• Construction in progress had a net increase totaling $43.8 million due to the following construction
in progress: 1) a $20.5 million addition for the Vista Canyon Bridge; 2) a $7.6 million addition for
the Rink Sports Pavilion; 3) a $5.8 million addition for the Energy Efficiency project; and 4) a $3.8
million and $2.9 million addition for Old Orchard Park and David March Park, respectively.
• Depreciable building and improvements had a net decrease of $5.5 million as there were no major
additions to infrastructure and the annual depreciation was higher than current year additions.
• Intangible assets had a net increase of $625,786 mainly due to a new subscription under GASB
Statement No. 96-Subscription Liabilities for the City's Accela permitting system and two new
leases under GASB Statement No. 87-Leases for a Kyocera equipment lease of printer/copiers
and an equipment lease of Flock Safety license plate readers.

*As restated
**Shown as net change during the year
The City's governmental activities had $114 million in debt at year-end. Governmental activities long-term
debt increased overall by $1.2 million. Compensated absences reflect the implementation of GASB 101 in
the current year which includes a restatement for the prior year, resulting in a $1.1 million increase. This
increase is attributed to a 4% cost of living adjustment to employee salaries. Additional information on the
City of Santa Clarita's implementation of recent GASB pronouncements can be located in Note 1 to the
financial statements.
No new debt related to business -type activities was issued or refinanced during the current fiscal year.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the City was able to meet its current year debt obligation in a
timely manner. State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue
to 15% of its adjusted assessed valuation. The debt limitation for the City as of June 30, 2025 was
$1,739,222,830. The calculation of the debt limitation is included in the statistical section.
Additional information on the City of Santa Clarita's debt can be located in Note 11 to the financial
statements.
13
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS
Our long history of conservative and strategic budget practices has allowed the City to maintain a balanced
budget every year. Since the Great Recession, our organization has understood that there will continue to
be economic peaks and valleys, and we need to be prepared and positioned for times when the economy
is weak. The City's strategy demonstrated its continued success during the COVID-19 recession, a time in
which the City remained in good fiscal health, with a balanced budget.
• General Fund sales tax revenue continues to be one of the largest revenue sources to operate
general governmental functions, accounting for 31 % or $50 million as projected in the 2025-2026
mid -year budget.
• Property tax revenues account for 32% of the General Fund budget or $51.7 million in 2025-2026.
The County Assessor's office makes changes to the City's property tax roll daily to reflect transfers
in ownership, new construction, assessment appeals, parcel splits and other dynamic changes.
Total 2025-2026 mid -year General Fund expenditures are projected to be $159.5 million, resulting in a
balanced budget, an operating surplus of $353,506, and a 20% operating reserve of $26.7 million. The
City's adopted 2025-2026 operating and capital budget for all funds was $344.6 million, net of transfers.
The City remains dedicated to service excellence, teamwork and creativity. City staff continues to do more
with less, find creative ways to maintain services revered by our community, and provide award -winning
programs. The 2025-2026 budget remains to be a reflection of the City's commitment to the residents of
Santa Clarita. This is consistent with the City's long tradition of ensuring that programming for Santa
Clarita's youth and children is a priority to help promote growth and curb teen crimes. A copy of the adopted
City's 2025-2026 budget can be obtained by visiting the web at htti)s://santaclarita.gov/city-budget/.

Some of the City's receivables for franchise fees, operating and capital grant reimbursements will be collected after year

Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in
Fund Balances to the Government -Wide Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds: $ 48,487,472
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of those
capital assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation and amortization expense. This is the amount
by which capital expenditures exceeded depreciation and amortization in the current period:
Capital outlay expenditures, net of $244,088 reported in Internal Service Funds $ 76,066,013
Depreciation and amortization expense, net of $(324,852) reported in Internal Service Funds (35,183,348) 40,882,665
The net effect of disposal of capital assets, net of $(15,162) reported in Internal Service Funds
Certain accrued revenues such as franchise fee and grants do not provide current financial resources and therefore, are
not reported in the governmental funds as revenues. This is the amount of the net change in these accrued revenue
amounts during the current period.
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore
are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds:
Change in compensated absences, net of $(13,322) reported in internal service funds
Pension expense, net of pension contribution made after measurement date
OPEB expense, net of OPEB contribution made after measurement date
Accrued interest for long-term debt
Principal repayment of long-term debt
Bond premium and deferred charges amortization
Issuance of long-term debt
The issuance of Bridge and Thoroughfare district credits does not impact governmental funds, but increases long-term
liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Redemptions of the credit does not impact expenditures in the governmental
funds, but reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position.
Net effect of (issuance) use of district credits
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as workers' compensation
self-insurance, general liability self-insurance, vehicles, and technology to individual funds. The net revenue (expense)
of these internal service funds are reported as governmental activities.

City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of Santa Clarita, California, (the "City") have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") as applied to
governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") is the accepted standard setting
body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the
significant policies:
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated on December 15, 1987, as a general law city. The City operates under a council- manager
form of government and provides its citizens with a full range of municipal services, either directly or under contract
with the County of Los Angeles. Such services include public safety (police and fire protection), building
permit/plan approval, planning, community development, recreation, animal control, and street maintenance.
Component Units
The financial statements include the financial activities of the City of Santa Clarita, the primary government, and
its component units. Component units are legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially
accountable. The City has two component units, the Santa Clarita Public Financing Authority (the "Authority") and
the Santa Clarita Public Television Authority (the "Television Authority"), and one fiduciary component unit, the
Other Post -Employment Benefits ("OPEB") Plan Trust Fund.
Although these component units are legally separate from the City, they have been "blended" as though they are
part of the City because the component units' governing body is substantially the same as the City's and there is a
financial benefit or burden relationship between the City and the component units; management of the City has
operational responsibilities for the component unit; and/or the component unit provides services entirely, or almost
entirely, to the City or otherwise exclusively, or almost exclusively, benefits the City, even though it does not
provide services directly to it. Management determined that the following component units should be blended based
on the criteria above:
Santa Clarita Public Financing Authority -The Authority was established in July 1991 as a joint powers authority
between the City and the former redevelopment agency for the purpose of providing financing and funding of public
capital improvements and the acquisition of property. On May 10, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution 16-
15 that removed the Successor Agency from the agreement and substituted the Santa Clarita Parking Authority.
The Authority is governed by the Board of the Authority, which is comprised of City Council. Additionally, the
City and Authority have a financial benefit or burden relationship. Therefore, the Authority is reported as a blended
component unit in the City's financial statements. The Authority's financial data and activity are reported within
the debt service and capital projects fund types of the City. Separate financial statements for the Authority are not
prepared.
Santa Clarita Public Television Authority - The Santa Clarita Public Television Authority, California (the
"Authority") is a joint powers authority formed under the provision of Section 6500 of the California Government
Code in 2009 by the City and the William S. Hart Union High School District. The primary purpose of the
Television Authority is to produce local community service programming. The Television Authority provides
public affairs and informational programming, as well as providing programming services for local government,
educational and public agency meetings. The following entities have joined the Authority: Saugus Union School
District, Newhall School District, Sulfur Springs School District, Castaic Union School District, and College of the
Canyons. The Authority has a seven -member Board of Directors consisting of one member appointed by each
school district, one member from the College, and one member from the City. The City and Television Authority
have a financial benefit or burden relationship; therefore, the Television Authority is reported as a blended
component unit in the City's financial statements as special revenue fund. Separate financial statements for the
Television Authority are prepared and can be obtained from the City's Finance Division.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
A. Financial Reporting Entity (Continued)
Other Post Employment Benefits ("OPEB ") Plan Trust Fund - In December 2011, the City Council approved
Resolution 11-89, adopting the Public Agencies Post -Retirement Health Care Plan Document and Trust Agreement.
The OPEB Plan Trust is a tax -qualified irrevocable trust, organized under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") section
115, established to pre -fund OPEB, and legally separate from the City. The Plan Trustee is U.S. Bank and the Trust
Administrator is Public Agencies Retirement Services ("PARS"). The City has administrative involvement with
the Plan, through City management and the City Council, in directing the use of assets to ensure benefits are paid
to intended recipients. Further, as the City is required to contribute to the Plan. The OPEB Plan Trust Fund is
reported as a fiduciary activity as the City has control of the trust assets and the activity is OPEB arrangement
administered through a qualifying trust.
B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting
entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self -balancing accounts that
comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. City resources
are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and
the means by which spending activities are controlled.
Government -Wide Financial Statements
The Government -Wide Financial Statements are presented on an "economic resources" measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City's assets, including capital assets, as well as
infrastructure assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, including long-term liabilities, and deferred inflows
of resources, 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. On an accrual basis, revenue
from sales taxes is recognized in the period in which the taxable sale takes place. Revenue from property taxes is
recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the
fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing
requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the year when use is first
permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose,
and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. Fiduciary
activities are not included in these statements.
Certain types of transactions are reported as program revenues for the City in three categories:
• Charges for services
• Operating grants and contributions
• Capital grants and contributions
Certain eliminations have been made in regards to 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. In the Statement of Activities, internal service fund transactions have been
eliminated; however, those transactions between governmental and business -type activities have not been
eliminated. The following interfund activities have been eliminated:

Governmental Fund Financial Statements
A Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances are presented for all
major governmental funds and aggregated nonmajor funds. Accompanying schedules are presented to reconcile
and explain the differences in fund balances as presented in these statements, to the net position presented in the
government -wide financial statements. The City has presented all major funds that met the applicable criteria.
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement focus and
the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the
Balance Sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Change in Fund Balances presents increases (revenue
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. For this purpose, the City considers
revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period for property and
sales tax, and 90 days for all other nonexchange transaction revenues. Expenditures generally are recorded when a
liability is incurred. However, debt service expenditures, expenditures related to compensated absences, pension
and other post -employment benefits, and the redemption of district credits are recorded only when payment is due.
Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except those revenues subject to accrual are recognized when due.
Property taxes, taxpayer -assessed tax revenues (e.g., franchise taxes, sales taxes, motor vehicle fees, etc.), net of
estimated refunds and uncollectible amounts, and intergovernmental revenues associated with the current fiscal
period are all considered susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period
to the extent normally collected within the availability period, as defined above.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
➢ The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources of
the City that are not required to be accounted for in another fund.
➢ The Bridge and Thoroughfarepecial Revenue Fund is used to account for restricted district fees received from
developers as set by the State Subdivision Law and the Los Angeles County and City of Santa Clarita, which
are used for the construction of street, highway, bridge, and other thoroughfare in the Bouquet Canyon, Eastside
Canyon, Via Princessa, and Valencia districts. This fund also accounts for the issuance and redemption of
district credits associated with the contribution of infrastructure. The City has elected the Bridge and
Thoroughfare Special Revenue Fund as a major fund for public interest purposes.
➢ The Impact Fees Special Revenue Fund is used to account for impact fees received from new development
projects and are required to be used only for those purposes for which the impact fees were collected. The City
has elected the Impact Fee Fund as a major fund for financial presentation purposes.

➢ The Landscape Maintenance District #1 Special Revenue Fund is used to account for property tax receipts and
disbursements related to the landscape maintenance district. The City has elected the Landscape Maintenance
District #1 Special Revenue Fund as a major fund for public interest purposes.
➢ Transportation Development Act 8 ("TDA") Special Revenue Fund is used to account for monies received from
the State of California under Article 8 of the TDA. These funds are restricted for local streets and road
expenditures when the City's unmet transportation needs have been satisfied.
➢ Measure R Highway Improvement Program Special Revenue Fund is used to account for the half -cent sales tax
measure approved by LA County voters in November 2008 to fund carpool, highways and other highway
related improvements.
Additionally, the City reports the following governmental fund types:
The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally
restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes.
The Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for and payment of interest and
principal on long-term debt.
The Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources used for the acquisition or construction of
major capital facilities (other than those financed by the proprietary funds).
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of
Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position presents 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 and expenses result from the operating and maintenance of the local public transit services. The
operating revenues consist of charges to customers for the service provided. Operating expenses include the costs
of providing these services, administrative expenses and depreciation expense. All revenues and expenses not
meeting these definitions and which are not capital in nature are reported as non -operating revenues and expenses.
A separate column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, internal
service balances and activities have been combined with the governmental activities in the Government -Wide
Financial Statements. The City's internal service funds include three individual funds which provide services
directly to other City funds. These areas of service include self-insurance, computer replacement, and vehicle
replacement. These funds provide service to other City departments on a cost reimbursement basis.
The City reports the following major proprietary fund:
➢ The Transit Enterprise Fund is used to account for the operation of the City's local public transit bus system.

Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary fund financial statements include a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary
Net Position. The City's fiduciary funds represent an OPEB Plan trust fund, a private purpose trust fund, and
custodial funds. These fiduciary funds are accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting. These fiduciary fund
activity assets are controlled by the City and the assets are not derived 1) solely from the government's own -source
revenues or 2) from government -mandated nonexchange transactions or voluntary nonexchange transactions.
The City reports the following three types of fiduciary funds:
➢ The OPEB Trust Fund is used to account for transactions for retiree health care. The City has administrative
involvement of the Plan, and has reported the trust and Plan in its financial statements.
➢ The Redevelopment SuccessorAgency Private -Purpose Trust Fund is used to account for monies received from
the Los Angeles County Auditor Controller for the repayment of the enforceable obligations of the former Santa
Clarita Redevelopment Agency. These funds are restricted for the sole purpose of payment of items on an
approved Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS).
➢ The Custodial Funds are used to account for assets for the benefit of organizations or other governments that
are not part of the City. In addition, the assets are not derived from the City's provision of goods or services to
those individuals, organizations, or other governments. The following funds are used to account for assets and
liabilities held by the City as an agent and related to the debt service activity on non -commitment special
assessment debt:
Five funds are reported under the custodial fund type:
• Assessment District No. 92-2 Fund (Golden Valley Road)
• Assessment District NO. 99-1 Fund (Vermont Everett)
• Community Facilities District No. 2002-1 Fund (Valencia Town Center)
• Community Facilities District No. 2016-1 Fund (Vista Canyon)
• Santa Clarita Watershed Recreation and Conservancy Authority (the "Watershed Authority") Fund
The Assessment District and Community Facilities District Custodial Funds were established to account for
receipt of special taxes and assessments used to pay principal and interest on related bonds that are not direct
City liabilities, as well as receipt and disbursement of capital project bond proceeds related to bonds that are
not direct obligations of the City. The Watershed Authority Custodial Fund is used to account for assets and
liabilities held by the City as an agent and related to the park and open space lands for the Watershed Authority.
The Watershed Authority holds land in the amount of $9,937,976 and other capital assets net of accumulated
depreciation in the amount of $48,918. These amounts are excluded from the City's custodial fund, but reported
within the Watershed Authority's financial statements.

C. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to
be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from
the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are combined with investments and displayed as cash and
investments. For purposes of the statement of cash flows of the proprietary fund types, cash and cash equivalents
include all investments, as the City operates an internal cash management pool that maintains the general
characteristics of a demand deposit account.
Highly liquid money market investments with maturities of one year or less at time of purchase are stated at
amortized cost. All other investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell
an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The City participates in the Local Agency Investment Fund ("LAIF"), Los Angeles County Pooled Investment Fund
("LACPIF"), and the California Asset Management Program ("CAMP"), investment pool managed by the State of
California, Los Angeles, County, and CAMP. LAIF has invested a portion of the pool funds in structured notes and
asset -backed securities. LAIF's investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit of the State of
California collateralizing these investments. In addition, these structured notes and asset -backed securities are
subject to market risk as a result of changes in interest rates. All investments in LAIF, LACPIF, and CAMP are
reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Certain disclosure requirements, if applicable, are provided for deposit and investment risk in the following areas:
➢ Interest Rate Risk
➢ Credit Risk
o Overall
o Custodial Credit Risk
o Concentration of Credit Risk
➢ Foreign Currency Risk
D. Cash and Investments with Fiscal Agents
The unexpended bond proceeds of the City's bonds are classified as restricted assets because their use is restricted
to the purpose for which the bonds were originally issued. The City's cash and investments held by fiscal agents
are pledged to the payment or security of certain long-term debt issuances. The California Government Code
provides that these monies, in the absence of specific statutory provisions governing the issuance of the bonds, may
be invested in accordance with the ordinance, resolutions, or indentures specifying the types of investments its
trustees or fiscal agents may make.
E. Fair Value Measurement
U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes disclosure about
fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specified at fair value in the financial statements, are
categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Levels of
inputs are as follows:
➢ Level I — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the
measurement date.
➢ Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or
liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
➢ Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect management's best estimate of what market participants
would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
F. Interfund Transactions
Outstanding short-term borrowing between funds are reported to as "due from/to other funds." Interfund loans are
reported as advances to and from other funds and are eliminated upon consolidation. Advances to other funds are
presented as nonspendable in General Fund's fund balance to indicate that they are not in a spendable form. For all
other funds, advances to other funds are presented as restricted fund balance since monies collected in future years
would be restricted. When there are residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business -
type activities, they are reported in the government -wide financial statements as "internal balances."
Interfund services provided are treated as revenues and expenses. Administrative overhead charges included with
centralized expenses charged by the General Fund are included in the direct expenses of enterprise activities.
Reimbursements occur when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its related
cost as a reimbursement. All other interf nid transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental
or between proprietary funds are eliminated as part of the reconciliation to the government -wide financial
statements. Any residual balances outstanding between governmental and business -type activities are reported in
the government -wide financial statements as "transfers."
G. Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Allowances for uncollectible accounts are maintained on customer and other trade receivables that historically
experience uncollectible amounts. Allowances are based on collection experience and management's evaluation of
the current status of existing receivables.
H. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items
in both the government -wide and fund financial statements by using purchase method. A nonspendable fund balance
has been reported in the governmental funds to show that the prepaid items do not constitute "available spendable
resources," even though they are a component of current assets.
L Lease Receivable
The City is a lessor for leases of land and recognizes leases receivable and deferred inflows of resources in the
financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance or usage of the underlying asset are not
included in the measurement of the lease receivable. At the commencement of a lease, the lease receivable is
measured at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. The City established a
threshold of $100,000 for lease receivables. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion
of lease payments received. The deferred inflows of resources are 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 inflows of resources are recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term in a systematic and rational
method.
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 incremental borrowing rate (IBR) provided by the financial institution or the current rate at the
time a new lease is executed.
• The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease plus any option periods that are likely to be
exercised.
53
City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
L Lease Receivable (Continued)
• 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.
J. Capital Assets
In the Government -Wide Financial Statements, capital assets are recorded at cost where historical records are
available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are valued at
their acquisition value. Capital assets, which include land, site improvements, buildings and improvements, and
equipment and infrastructure assets. General infrastructure assets consist of roads, curbs and gutters, sidewalks,
medians, street signs, bus shelters, bridges, trails, traffic signals, and storm drains/catch basins. City policy has set
the capitalization threshold for reporting capital assets with an initial cost of more than $25,000 for site
improvements and building improvements, $100,000 for infrastructure and $10,000 for all other capital assets and
an estimated useful life in excess of one year. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the
value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets
Years
Site Improvement
5-25
Building and Improvements
5-50
Equipment
5-25
Infrastructure
20-60
The governmental fund financial statements do not present capital assets. Instead, capital assets purchases are
reported as capital outlay expenditures or other functional expenditures such as public works. As such, capital assets
are shown as a reconciling item in the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Statement
of Net Position.
The City established a $100,000 threshold to recognize right -to -use assets, including lease assets or subscription -
based information technology arrangement ("SBITA") assets ("subscription assets"), in the government -wide
financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements.
Ruoff -Use Lease Assets
Lease assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities and adjusted by any lease
payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term, less any lease incentives received
from the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term along with any initial direct costs that are ancillary
charges necessary to place the lease assets into service. Lease assets are amortized using the straight-line method
over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, unless the lease contains a purchase
option that the City has determined is reasonably certain of being exercised. In this case, the lease asset is amortized
over the useful life of the underlying asset.

Riyht_of-Use Subscription Assets
Subscription assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the SBITA liabilities ("subscription
liabilities") and adjusted by any subscription payments to the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the
subscription term, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the
subscription term along with subscription implementation costs. Subscription assets are amortized over the shorter
of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying information technology assets.
K. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
The statement of net position reports separate sections for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources, when applicable.
Deferred Outflows of Resources represent a consumption of net assets that apply to future periods.
De erred In ows of Resources represent an acquisition of net assets that apply to future periods.
L. Unearned and Unavailable Revenue
Unearned revenue is reported for transactions for which revenue has not yet been earned. Typical transactions
recorded as unearned revenues are grant revenues received in advance.
In the governmental fund financial statements, unavailable revenue is reported when transactions have not yet met
the revenue recognition criteria based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The City reports unavailable
revenue when an asset is reported in governmental fund financial statements but the revenue is not available.
M. Long -Term Debt
In the Government -Wide Financial Statements, Proprietary Fund Financial Statements, and Fiduciary Fund
Financial Statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate
activities. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Debt issuance costs except
for any portion related to prepaid insurance are recognized as expense in the period incurred. Premiums or discounts
not considered as part of the reacquisition price are amortized over the life of the bond.
The governmental fund financial statements do not present long-term debt and other financed obligations. The face
amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as
other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuances costs are
reported as debt service expenditures. Principal payments and reductions in the obligation are reported as debt
service expenditures. As such, long-term debt and other financed obligations are shown as reconciling items in the
Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Statement of Net Position.
N. Lease Liabilities
The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $100,000 or more with a lease term greater
than one year in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Variable payments based on future
performance of the lessee or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the lease liability.

N. Lease Liabilities (Continued)
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.
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 incremental borrowing rate provided by the financial institution or the current rate at the
time a new lease is executed.
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.
• Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease payable is composed of fixed payments to the
lessor.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure
any lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease
liability.
O. Subscription Liabilities
The City recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of $100,000 or more with a subscription
term greater than one year in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Variable payments
based on future performance of the City, usage of the underlying information technology assets, or number of user
seats are not included in the measurement of the subscription liability.
At the commencement of a subscription, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of
payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by
the principal portion of subscription payments made.
Key estimates and judgments related to subscription liabilities include how the City determines (1) the discount
rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3)
subscription payments.
• The City uses incremental borrowing rate provided by the financial institution at July 1, 2022 for existing
subscription or the current rate at the time a new subscription is executed.
• The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the SBITA. Subscription payments included
in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its SBITA and will remeasure
any subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of
the subscription liability.

Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
P. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave (compensated
absences). For proprietary fund types and governmental activities, this accumulation is recorded as an expense and
liability of the appropriate fund in the fiscal year earned. For the governmental funds, the amount of accumulated
unpaid leaves, which is payable from available resources, is recorded as an expenditure when it has matured (i.e.
when due and payable).
Q. Claims and Judgments
When it is probable that a claim liability has been incurred at year-end and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated, the City records the estimated loss, net of any insurance coverage, under its self- insurance program.
Claims payable, which includes an estimate for incurred but not reported ("IBNR') claims, is recorded in the Self -
Insurance Internal Service Fund.
R. Pensions
For purposes ofineasuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources
related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions
to/deductions from the plans' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported
by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when
due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
General Fund and special revenue funds are typically used to liquidate pension liabilities for governmental funds.
The following time frames are used for pension reporting:
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension
expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the
gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources
related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending
on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line
over 5 years. 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.
S. Other Postemployment Benefits ("OPEW)
For the purpose of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City's OPEB
Plan and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same
basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and
payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value, except for money market
investments, which are reported at amortized cost.

S. Other Postemployment Benefits ("OPEB') (Continued)
General Fund and special revenue funds are typically used to liquidate OPEB liabilities for governmental funds.
The following timeframes are reported OPEB reporting:
Valuation Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Date June 30, 2025
Measurement Period July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025
Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB
expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in OPEB expense for the year the
gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources
related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense. The amortization period differs depending on
the sources of gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized on a straight-line
basis over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average expected remaining
service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) at the beginning of the
measurement period.
T. Property Taxes and Special Assessments
Property taxes and special assessment taxes are considered enforceable liens on real property on July 1, the
beginning of the fiscal year, and are due in two installments on November I and February 1; however, no penalties
or interest are assessed until December 10 and April 10, respectively. These taxes are determined annually based
on property values, subject to limits based on Proposition 13, as of January I of the levy year, which is prior to the
end of the previous fiscal year. The County of Los Angeles bills and collects these taxes for the City and are remitted
on a monthly basis. Remittance of property taxes to the City is accounted for in the City's General Fund and Public
Library Special Revenue Fund. Property taxes on certain registered motor vehicles are assessed and collected
throughout the year. Special assessments are reported in the City's Special Assessment Special Revenue Fund.
Property taxes in lieu of motor vehicle fee are the City's own -source revenues and are apportioned according to
formula similar to property tax revenues.
U. Net Position and Fund Balances
In the Government -Wide Financial Statements and proprietary fund financial statements, net position is classified
as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets —This component of net position of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of those assets, and excludes unspent debt proceeds. Deferred outflows of resources and deferred
inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets or
related debt also should be included in this component of net position.
Restricted — This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources related to those assets.

City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
U. Net Position and Fund Balances (Continued)
Unrestricted — This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in
capital assets or the restricted component of net position.
When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted components of net position are
available, the City's policy is to apply the restricted component of net position first, then the unrestricted component
of net position as needed.
In the Governmental Fund Financial Statements, fund balances are classified as follows:
Nonspendable — Items that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items and
inventories; advances, which are long-term interfund borrowings; and items that are legally or contractually
required to be maintained intact, such as principal of an endowment or revolving loan funds.
Restricted — Restricted fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources subject to externally enforceable
legal restrictions. This includes externally imposed restrictions by creditors, such as through debt covenants,
grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, as well as restrictions imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed — Committed fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources, the use of which is constrained
by limitations that the government imposes upon itself at its highest level of decision- making, City Council through
Council Resolution, and that remain binding unless removed in the same manner. The City Council is considered
the highest authority for the City.
Assigned — Assigned fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources reflecting the government's
intended use of resources. Assignment of resources can be designated by the highest level of decision -making or
by a committee or official designated for that purpose. The City Treasurer authorizes assigned amounts for specific
purposes pursuant to the policy -making powers granted Whim through a resolution adopted by the City Council.
Unassigned —This includes the excess residual amounts in the General Fund and the residual deficit of all other
governmental funds, which have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes. The General Fund
is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds it is not
appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount.
However, in governmental funds other than the General Fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed
the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative
unassigned fund balance in that fund.
The City Council has approved an operating reserve to be used for one-time unanticipated expenditure requirements
and local disaster. At June 30, 2025, the balance totaled $26,350,000, which is included in the unassigned fund
balance in the General Fund.
When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which all restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned fund
balances are available, the City's policy is to apply in the following order, except for instances wherein an ordinance
specifies the fund balance: restricted, committed, assigned, and then unassigned.

V. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the basic financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates.
W. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncements
The requirements of the following accounting standards are effective for the purpose of implementation for the year
ended June 30, 2025. The financial statements included herein apply the requirements and provisions of these
statements, including necessary retroactive adjustments to financial statement classifications and presentations.
GASB Statement No. 101— In June 2022, 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 a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures.
Implementation of this Statement resulted in restatement of beginning net position at July 1, 2024 presented in Note
19.
GASB Statement No. 102 — In December 2023, GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures. The
objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about
risks related to a government's vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints which may limit a
government's ability to acquire resources or control spending. Application of this statement did not have a
significant effect on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

A. Deposits
The carrying amounts of the City's demand deposits were $39,139,890 at June 30, 2025. Bank balances at that date
were $37,186,714 the total amount of which was collateralized or insured with accounts held by the pledging
financial institutions in the City's name as discussed below.
Cash and Investments with PARS related to the City's OPEB Trust are disclosed in Note 14.
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City's
cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have
the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral
for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's name.
The market value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California law also
allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of
the City's total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements for cash deposits, deposits, which are
fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The City did not waive the
collateral requirement for deposits insured by FDIC.
The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required to be held by
fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures. Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is
allocated on an accounting period basis to the various funds based on the period -end cash and investment balances.
Interest income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund.

Loans from the Citv of Santa Clarita
At June 30, 2015, the California Department of Finance ("DOF") approved the advances to the former redevelopment
agency consisting of the promissory notes outstanding between the City and the former redevelopment agency
entered into between the periods of July 1996 and June 2010. These consist of notes outstanding from the General
Fund and the Developer Fees Special Revenue Fund in the amounts of $7,225,964 and $5,407,868, respectively
using a LAIF rate of 0.26 percent, which was in effect when the Oversight Board reinstated the loans on
February 25, 2015. On September 22, 2015, the Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review of the California State
Senate approved SB 107. A mandate of this legislation included a recalculation of the notes to the RDA Successor
Agency using a 3 percent simple interest from the origination of the note, instead of the LAIF rate. As such, the City
increased the amounts in the General Fund and Developer Fees Special Revenue Fund to reflect increased interest
balances. The unpaid amount of these notes is $6,032,371 and $7,868,635, respectively, which include unpaid
accrued interest of $3,780,777 and $2,548,748, respectively.
Tax Allocation Bond Refunding Series 2017
The former redevelopment agency issued Tax Allocation Bonds, which are special obligations of the Successor
Agency secured by pledged property tax revenues. The bonds are not a debt of the City nor payable out of any funds
or properties other than those of the Successor Agency.
In February 2017, the Successor Agency issued Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series 2017, in the amount of
$34,800,000 to refund the Tax Allocation Bonds Series 2008 and Tax Allocation Bonds Housing Set -Aside. The
difference between the reacquisition price and carrying value of the refunded debt was reported as a deferred
outflow of resources and is amortized over the life of the refunded debt, as a component of interest expense, and
totaled $1,704,364 as of June 30, 2025. Interest on the Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series 2017, is paid as
part of a variable rate between 2 percent and 5 percent payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year commencing
on April 1, 2017. Principal payments are due annually in various amounts commencing October 1, 2017, through
October 1, 2042. The unpaid balance as of June 30, 2025, was $27,665,000.
Tax revenues deposited to the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund maintained by the County of Los Angeles,

Note 12 — Risk Management
A. Special Districts Risk Management Authority ("SDRMA')
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors,
and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City joined Special Districts Risk Management
Authority ("SDRMA") in 2005. SDRMA is a self-insurance risk pool that serves as a not -for -profit public agency
to its members. Through SDRMA, the City held various deductibles from 2005 through 2021. Beginning in fiscal
year 2019-2020, the City held a $50,000 general liability deductible. All general liability claims above the City's
deductible are handled by SDRMA's $10,000,000 liability limit.
Additionally, the City carries a $15,000,000 excess liability policy to cover any losses over the $10,000,000
SDRMA limit. The City's workers' compensation coverage was also administered by SDRMA. The City was self -
insured for workers' compensation up to $250,000, but purchased coverage through SDRMA for individual claims
exceeding $250,000 up to a maximum of $5,000,000. Settlements have not exceeded coverages for each of the past
three fiscal years.
B. California Joint Powers Insurance Authority ("CJPIA')
The City joined California Joint Powers Insurance Authority ("CJPIA") effective July 1, 2021. CJPIA is a self-
insurance risk pool that serves its members. Claims incurred prior to joining CJPIA continue to be administered by
SDRMA.
Risk Pool Membership
CJPIA is composed of 126 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to
California Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the CJPIA is to arrange and administer programs for
the pooling of self -insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased
insurance for property and other lines of coverage. CJPIA began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each
member government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates
through a nine -member Executive Committee.
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. The total funding requirement
for primary self-insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies
based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk -sharing pool.

bodily injury, personal injury, third party property damage, advertising injury, and employee benefit administration
liability. The City has a retained limit of $100,000 per occurrence. The overall coverage limit for each member,
including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence. The coverage structure is composed of a combination
of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and excess insurance. Additional information concerning the coverage
structure is available on the CJPIA's website: htips:Hcjpia.org/coverage/risk-sharing-pools/.
Excess Workers' Compensation Program
The City has a retained limit of $250,000 per occurrence for workers' compensation claims. CJPIA's pooled
retention is $1 million per occurrence with reinsurance to statutory limits under California Workers' Compensation
Law. Employer's Liability losses are pooled among members to $1 million. Coverage from $1 million to $5 million
is purchased through reinsurance policies, and Employer's Liability losses from $5 million to $10 million are pooled
among members.
Purchased Insurance
All -Risk Property Protection Program. This insurance protection is underwritten by several insurance
companies. The City's property is currently insured according to a schedule of covered property submitted by the
City to the Authority. The total insured value of scheduled City property is $355,565,976. There is a $10,000
deductible per occurrence except for non -emergency vehicle insurance which has a $2,500 deductible.
Pollution Legal Liability Insurance Program. The policy covers sudden and gradual pollution of scheduled
property, streets, and storm drains owned by the City. Coverage is on a claims -made basis. There is a $250,000
deductible. The Authority has an aggregate limit of $20 million.

depositor's forgery, theft of money and securities, and computer fraud related to the transfer of money. The policy
limit is $5,000,000, and the deductible is $25,000.
Cyber Liability Insurance Program. The cyber liability program provides coverage for both first- and third -party
claims. Members work directly with a cyber incident coach to investigate and respond to incidents. Protects against
expenses the Insured incurs directly (i.e. Ist Party) in connection with a Privacy Incident, Network Security
Incident, or Cyber Crime Incident. Protects against the city's liability to others (i.e. 3rd Party) in connection with a
Privacy Incident, Network Security Incident, or Media Incident. There is a $100,000 deductible, with a $2,000,000
aggregate limit. There is a $10,000,000 pool aggregate limit for all members of the California JPIA.

restoration, systems restoration, extortion costs, business interruption loss, defense expense, damages, pre-
judgement interests, judgments, post -judgment interests, settlements, PCI assessments, and consumer redress funds.
Adeyuacv of Protection
During the past three fiscal years, none of the above programs of protection experienced settlements or judgments
that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were also no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability
coverage in 2024-25.

Contrihution.c
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 CAPERS'
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. The employer contributions made during the year ended June 30, 2025 were in the
amount of $7,761,451.

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.

The expected average remaining service lifetime (" EARSU) is calculated by dividing the total future service years
by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired). The EARSL for the 2023-24 measurement
period is 4.4 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 5,887 (the sum of remaining service
lifetimes of the active employees) by 1,338 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired),
respectively.
The $7,761,451 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions, resulting from the City's

Note 14 — Other Postemployment Benefits ("OPEB")
A. General Information about the OPEB Plan
Plan Description
The City has elected through resolution to provide healthcare benefits as single employer plan to retirees, spouses,
and eligible dependents of the City. This plan provides postemployment medical insurance benefits through the
CAPERS Health Plan (the "Plan"). The City has administrative involvement with the Plan, and has included the
trust, as well as Plan required disclosures within the City's ACFR. A separate financial report is not issued.
The City conducted an actuarial valuation to determine the City's obligation to fund OPEB and determined that it
served the City's interests to prefund those benefits. In December 2011, the City Council approved Resolution 1I-
89 adopting the Public Agencies Post -Retirement Health Care Plan Document and Trust Agreement. The OPEB
Plan Trust is a tax -qualified irrevocable trust, organized under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 115,
established to pre -fund OPEB. The Plan Trustee is U.S. Bank, and Public Agencies Retirement Services ("PARS")
is the Trust Administrator. However, as described above, the City has administrative involvement in the Plan, and
reports assets as a fiduciary component unit.
Eligibility and Membership Covered by Benefit Terms
City employees who have a service retirement from the City at age 50 with five or more years of city service are
eligible to receive post -employment medical benefits. Employees who have a disability retirement are also eligible.
The benefit for employees hired before January 1, 2008 is up to $1,260 per month. No minimum years of service
were required for the unrepresented employees hired before January 1, 2008 and retired before January 1, 2012 and
represented employees hired before January 1, 2008 and retired after January 1, 2012 and before January 1, 2014.
For employees hired before January 1, 2008 the following vesting applies:
Year of service Vested Percentage
0 to 5 years 0%
5 to 9 years 50%
10 to 14 years 75%
15 years and greater 100%
Employees hired after January 1, 2008, receive the Ca1PERS minimum benefits and are not subjected to the vesting
schedule above.
At June 30, 2025 measurement date, the following numbers of participants were covered by the benefit terms:
Active plan members 471
Inactive plan members currently receiving benefits 153
Inactive plan members entitled to but not receiving benefits 50
Total 674
Contrihn.tions
The obligation of the City to contribute to the plan is established and may be amended by the City Council.
Employees are not required to contribute to the plan. The City has established a practice of contributing to the
OPEB Plan Trust 100 percent of the cash subsidy. The cash subsidy represents a level of funding that, if paid on an
ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost of each year and is not determined based on a level of pay. As
a result of reporting a net OPEB asset, the cash subsidy component of the actuarial determined contribution for
fiscal year 2025 was negative $607,000, and no cash contribution was made. In addition, the City received a credit
in the amount of $359,000 relating to implied subsidy benefit payment which has been included in the contributions
to the OPEB Plan Trust.

B. Net OPEB Liability (Continued)
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.00%. 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.

D. Cash and Investment Held in Trust
The City elected a discretionary investment approach with a moderate investment objective. The primary objective
is to maximize total Plan return, subject to the risk and quality constraints established. The Plan's targeted rate of
return is 6 percent. The asset allocation ranges for this objective are 0 percent to 20 percent cash source, 30 percent
to 50 percent fixed income, and 50 percent to 70 percent equity. Fees incurred by the Plan for the investment
management services are included in fair value of the investment, as they are paid through revenue sharing, rather
than a direct payment.
The parameters for fixed income and equity securities based on asset allocation are as follows:

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 15 — Deferred Compensation Plan/Defined Contribution Plan
The City provides a deferred compensation/defined contribution plans for certain classifications of management under
IRC Section 401(a). City participation in contributions to the plans is mandatory. The City is obligated to contribute
amounts ranging from $2,000 to $23,500 per participant per year. Employee contributions to certain plans are voluntary.
During the year ended June 30, 2025, there were 1,971 participants in the plans. The employer and employee
contributions were in the amounts of $535,021 and $2,798,217, respectively.
Note 16 — Developer Credits
The City and County of Los Angeles have established the Santa Clarita Valley Bridge and Major Thoroughfare Districts
to accommodate the needs of future development anticipated by the County of Los Angeles and the City of Santa Clarita
General Plans. Included in the formation documents are provisions for district fees to be paid by developers, which are
to be used to assist the City in constructing and maintaining the infrastructure within the areas of benefit. In lieu of
paying the district fees, developers are allowed to donate infrastructure (roadways, bridges, intersections, and
interchanges) necessary for the future development of the districts. In certain cases, the developer may donate
infrastructure with a value that exceeds the district fees collected. If this occurs, the developer can receive a credit
toward future district fees or request a cash withdrawal of the excess amount, subject to City approval, if funding is
determined to be available. As of June 30, 2025, the City accrued a liability of $40,624,783 for the value of infrastructure
donated in excess of the district fees that were owed. There is no maturity schedule for the developer payables, and it
has been determined that current financial resources will not be used to repay the liability; therefore, the liability has
been recorded as a long-term obligation in the governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position.

included in the respective categories. These encumbrances are not separately classified in the financial statements
and are summarized at June 30, 2025, as follows:
Amount
General Fund $ 36,972,620
Other governmental Funds 56,313,768
C. Contingencies
The City has received Federal and State grants for specific purposes that are subject to review and audit by the
Federal government. Although such audits could result in expenditure disallowance under grant terms, any required
reimbursements are not expected to be material.

RFI-Bermite Lawsuit
A lawsuit (the "RFI-Bermite Lawsuit") seeking damages of at least $750 million was brought against the City in
July of 2021, by Remediation Financial, Inc. ("RFI") and Bermite Recovery, LLC ("Bermite," and together with
RFI, "Plaintiffs"). The lawsuit alleges that the City interfered with the Plaintiffs' ability to develop a 996-acre area
of undeveloped property located in the City, commonly referred to as the "Whittaker-Bermite Site." The Plaintiffs
allege that the City unlawfully interfered with their development efforts and prevented the Plaintiffs from obtaining
the financing and/or development partners they needed to develop the Whittaker-Bermite Site, resulting in lost
profits to the Plaintiffs. On August 8, 2022, the City filed a motion to strike Plaintiffs' state law claims based on
California's Anti-SLAPP Statute, and a separate motion to dismiss the complaint on various grounds, including
state -law immunities, lack of standing, and other grounds.
The City was successful in a first round of challenges to the Complaint to eliminate RFI as a Plaintiff. An amended
Complaint was filed on behalf of Bermite, based upon its prior ownership of 30 acres. The City again brought
challenges to the Bermite complaint —motions to dismiss and an Anti-SLAPP motion. The City was successful in
eliminating all but one cause of action, and the City was awarded attorney's fees. The claim against the City has
been reduced to $30 million due to Bermite being the only remaining Plaintiff. Discovery is almost complete.
Initially, SDRMA and its re -insurer, Evanston Insurance, were providing a defense under a reservation of rights.
However, with the elimination of all but one of the original causes of action, the insurers have indicated the suit is
no longer within their coverage. The City filed a motion for summary judgment in hopes of disposing the remaining
cause of action which was denied. The City believes the RFI-Bermite Lawsuit is without merit and intends to
vigorously defend itself against all claims alleged by the Plaintiffs; however, depending on the dollar amount of the
final judgment, damages, and potential attorneys' fees, a judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs could have an adverse
impact on the City's finances. The City expects to manage payment of any judgment in the RFI-Bermite Lawsuit
in a way that would enable the City to pay its obligations when due. As of the financial statement issuance date, the
outcome of the lawsuit cannot be reasonably estimated.

Notes to the Budgetary Comparison Schedule
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are legally adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for the
General Fund, Capital Projects Funds, Debt Service Funds, and each of the special revenue funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-
end.
On or before the last day in January of each year, all operational units submit requests for appropriations to the City Manager for budget
preparation purposes. The proposed budget is presented to the City Council for review. The City Council holds public hearings, and a final budget
must be adopted no later than June 30.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department at the category level. The City reports the following categories: personnel,
operations and maintenance, and capital outlay. Additionally, the City separately prepares a Capital Improvement Projects budget. The budgetary
control for the Capital Improvement Program is at the program level.
The City's Department Heads, with approval of the City Manager, may make transfers of appropriations within certain line -items within a
program, but may not exceed the total appropriated amounts for each category. City Manager may approve transfers that do not change the total
appropriated amount within the fund. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed
appropriations) is the category level. The City does not require additional appropriations through the budget process for bond funds, grant funds,
trust and custodial funds, and capital funds. Legislative action by the City Council to issue bond funds, accept grants, and/or authorize capital
projects is considered as authority to expend funds for those purposes. There are no adopted budgets for Santa Clarita Public Television Authority
Special Revenue Fund and Tesoro Open Space Special Revenue Fund.
Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for expenditures are recorded to reserve that portion of the
applicable appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary accounting. Since encumbrances do not yet
constitute expenditures or liabilities, encumbrances outstanding at year-end are classified as either restricted, committed, or assigned fund
balances. unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end.

During Fiscal Year 2017-18, CaIPERS implemented GASB 75 and reported its proportionate share of activity related to postemployment benefits for participation in
the State of California's agent OPEB plan. Accordingly, CalPERS recorded a one-time expense as a result of the adoption of GASB 75. Additionally, CalPERS
employees participate in various State of California agent pension plans and during Fiscal Year 2017-18, CalPERS recorded a correction to previously reported
financial statements to properly reflect its proportionate share of activity related to pensions in accordance with GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Pensions (GASB 68).
2 Includes any beginning of year adjustment.
3 Includes one year's payroll growth using 2.80% payroll growth assumption for fiscal year ended June 30, 2022-2024; 2.75% payroll growth assumption for fiscal
years ended June 30, 2018-21; 3.00% payroll growth assumption for fiscal years ended June 30, 2015-17.
Notes to Schedule:
Benefit Changes: There were no changes in benefits.
Changes of Assumptions: There were no assumption changes in 2024 and 2023. Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (June 30, 2022 measurement date),
the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market
return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. In addition, demographic assumptions and the price 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.

Notes: In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13, which limited taxes to a total
maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed
value of property may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum of 2%). With few exceptions,
property is only reassessed as a result of new construction activity or at the time it is sold to a new owner.
At that point, the property is reassessed based upon the added value of the construction or at the purchase
price (market value) or economic value of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above
represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and
is subject to the limitation just mentioned.

NOTES:
Article XIII-A of the Constitution of the State of California, adopted by the electorate in June 1978,
precludes the City from a local property tax levy. All general-purpose property taxes are levied by
the County and allocated to other governmental entities on a predetermined formula.
The above figures include secured property taxes only.
Prior to the implementation of GASB 44 in FY 2006, collections in subsequent years were not required
to be reported by tax year. Beginning in FY 2007, collections in subsequent years are included.

Section 43605 of the Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation.
However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal
year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel).
The computations shown above reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from current full valuation
perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local
governments located within the State.

December 12, 2025
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Clarita, California (the "City") and the financial
statements of Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund, Transit Enterprise Fund, and Open Space Preservation
District Special Revenue Fund for the year ended June 30, 2025. Professional standards require that we provide you
with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, and Government Auditing
Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our
audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you dated April 1, 2025. Professional standards also
require that we communicate the following information related to our audit.
Sienificant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting
policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements.
New Accounting Standards
GASB Statement No. 101 — In June 2022, 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 a unified model and by amending certain previously required
disclosures. Implementation of this Statement results in a restatement of the beginning net position as of
July 1, 2024.
GASB Statement No. 102 — In December 2023, GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures.
The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential
information about risks related to a government's vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints
which may limit a government's ability to acquire resources or control spending. Application of this statement
did not have a significant effect on the City's financial reporting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
No other new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during 2025.
We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or
consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on
management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain
accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of
the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive
estimates affecting the City's financial statements were:
• Management's estimate of the investment fair market value is based on information provided by U.S. Bank,
the custodian of the investments based on interactive data. We evaluated the methods, assumptions and data
used to develop the investment fair market value in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole.
• Management's estimate of the depreciation and amortization on capital assets is based on the industry
standard and past experience on actual useful life of the asset groups. We evaluated the key factors and
assumptions used to develop the depreciation on capital assets in determining that it is reasonable in relation
to the financial statements taken as a whole.
• Management's estimate for compensated absences is based on the outstanding balance of paid time off that
more likely than not will be used or paid.
• Management's estimate of the net pension liabilities is based on the actuarial valuation on total pension
liability and based on audited financial statements on fiduciary net position for CAPERS plans. We evaluated
the key factors and assumptions used to develop the net pension liability in determining that it is reasonable in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
• Management's estimate of the net other postemployment benefits ("OPEB") liability is based on the actuarial
valuation on total OPEB liability and financial statements on fiduciary net position. We evaluated the key
factors and assumptions used to develop the OPEB liability in determining that it is reasonable in relation to
the financial statements taken as a whole.
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement
users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements were:
• Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
• Note 13 — Pension Plan
• Note 14 — Other Postemployment Benefits ("OPEB")
• Note 21 — Commitments and Contingencies
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other
than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Management has
corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and
corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit's financial
statements taken as a whole.
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, California
Page 3
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter,
whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report.
We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation
letter dated December 12, 2025.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters,
similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting
principle to the City's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed
on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that
the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards,
with management each year prior to retention as the City's auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the
normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Management's Discussion & Analysis, Budgetary Comparison
Schedules, the Schedules of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedules of Contributions —
Pensions, the Schedules of Changes in Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, and Schedules of Contributions —
Other Postemployment Benefits, which are Required Supplementary Information ("RSI") that supplement the basic
financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not
audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements, which accompany the
financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of
management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the
information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of
preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our
audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying
accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the Introductory and the Statistical Sections, which accompany the financial
statements but are not RSL Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Appropriations Limit Schedule
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Purpose of Limited Procedures Review
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), California
governmental agencies are restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes. Effective
for years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, under Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB, the annual calculation of the
appropriations limit is subject to an agreed upon procedures review in connection with the annual audit.
Note 2 — Method of Calculation
Under Section 10.5 of Article XIIIB, for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1990, the appropriations limit is
required to be calculated based on the limit for the fiscal year 1986-87, adjusted for the inflation and population
factors discussed in Notes 3 and 4 below.
Note 3 — Population Factors
A California governmental agency may use as its population factor either the annual percentage change of the
jurisdiction's own population or the annual percentage change in population of the county where the jurisdiction
is located. The factor adopted by the City for the year ended June 30, 2025, represents the annual percentage
change in population for the City.
Note 4 — Inflation Factors
A California governmental agency may use as its inflation factor either the annual percentage change in the 4th
quarter per capita personal income (which percentage is supplied by the California Department of Finance) or the
percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the change of local nonresidential
construction. The factor adopted by the City for the year ended June 30, 2025, represents the annual percentage
change for per capita personal income.
Note 5 — Other Adjustments
A California government agency may be required to adjust its appropriations limit when certain events occur,
such as the transfer of responsibility for municipal services to, or from, another government agency or private
entity. The City had no such adjustments for the year ended June 30, 2025.

To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council

Santa Clarita, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion

Santa Ana, CaOufornia 92707
www.pungroup.cpa (M
We have audited the financial statements of the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund (the "Fund") of the
City of Santa Clarita, California (the "City") as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the
financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund of the City as of June 30, 2025, and the
change in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
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 ( "Government Auditing Standards'). 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 opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly
the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2025, the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its
cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with 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.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control -related matters that we identified
during the audit.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinion on the Fund's financial statements. The Schedule of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Change in Fund Balance — Budget and Actual and related note are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of the management and was derived from and related directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to
the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the
Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Change in Fund Balance — Budget and Actual and related note are fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 12, 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, 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 effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE
AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, 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 ( "Government Auditing Standards'), the financial statements of the Air Quality
Improvement Special Revenue Fund (the "Fund"), of the City of Santa Clarita, California (the "City"), as of and for
the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon
dated December 12, 2025.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over the
Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund's financial reporting ("internal control") as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will
not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to
merit attention by those charged with governance.
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 were not
identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the 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, 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.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT SPECIAL REVENUE FUND;
AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, California
Report on Compliance for the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund
Opinion on Compliance
We have audited the City of Santa Clarita, California's (the "City") compliance with the type of compliance
requirements described in the Assembly Bill 2766, Chapter 1705 (44220 through 44247) ("AB 2766") for the year
ended June 30, 2025.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that are
applicable to the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America ("GAAS"); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States ("Government Auditing Standards'); and AB 2766. Our
responsibilities under those standards and AB 2766 are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the
Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with
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 opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's
compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws,
statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City's AB 2766
programs.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City's
compliance based on our audit. 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, Government Auditing Standards, and
AB 2766 will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance
resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements
referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it
would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City's compliance
with the requirements of the government program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the AB 2766, we
• exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, 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 City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
• obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over
compliance in accordance with AB 2766, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over
compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance
does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, noncompliance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a
deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that material noncompliance with a compliance requirement will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance that is less severe than a material weakness in
internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in
internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over
compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.

Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund
of the City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Financial Reporting Entity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The financial statements of the Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund (the "Fund") of the City of Santa
Clarita, California (the "City") are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") is the
acknowledged standard -setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by
governmental entities in the United States. The financial statements were prepared from only the accounts of the
Fund. Accordingly, the financial statements do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of
the City and changes in financial position thereof.
B. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting
entity with a self -balancing set of accounts. Monies received under Assembly Bill 2766 ("AB 2766") are recorded
in the Fund. AB 2766 authorizes the South Coast Air Quality Management District (the "SCAQMD") to impose an
annual vehicle registration fee and to distribute a portion of the collected revenues to all local jurisdictions within
the South Coast Air Basin. These revenues are to be used solely to reduce air pollution from motor vehicles by
implementing new programs and studies necessary for the implementation of the California Clean Air Act.
C. Financial Statements Presentation, Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The fund financial statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Change in
fund balance. Special Revenue Fund is accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are
included on the balance sheet. The statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance present
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.
Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available
when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period.
The primary revenue sources are revenues associated with AB 2766 and interest revenue, which are measurable
and considered to be available if they are collected within 90 days of the end of the current fiscal period.
The Fund recognizes assets of non -exchange transactions in the period when the underlying transaction occurs
when all eligibility requirements are met. Non -exchange transactions occur when one government provides (or
receives) value to (from) another party without receiving (or giving) equal or nearly equal value in return. The AB
2766 revenue is an example of a non -exchange transaction.
Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred.

of the City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note I — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
D. Cash and Investments
The Fund's cash balance was pooled with various other City funds for deposit and investment purposes. The City's
Treasurer is responsible for the cash management of the Fund's cash balance, which pools available cash for
investment purposes. The cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-
term investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Each City fund owns
a share of pooled cash and investments, which are separately maintained, and interest income was apportioned
based on its average month -end cash balances to the total of the pooled cash and investments.
E. Fund Balance
In the Fund's financial statements, fund balance is classified as follows:
Restricted - Restricted fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources subject to externally enforceable
legal restrictions. This includes externally imposed restrictions by creditors, such as through debt covenants,
grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, as well as restrictions imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Expenditures as they are incurred are applied against these
restricted net resources.
F. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from
these estimates and assumptions.
Note 2 — Cash and Investments
The Fund's share of the City's pooled cash and investments at June 30, 2025 is $887,103.
Cash is deposited in the City's internal investment pool, which is reported at the amortized cost. The Fund does not
own specifically identifiable securities in the City's pool. Interest income is allocated based on average cash balances.
Investment policies and associated risk factors applicable to the Fund are those of the City and are included in the City's
basic financial statements. Please refer to the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for related disclosures for
cash and investments.
Note 3 — Due from South Coast Air Quality Management District
The SCAQMD collects revenues from annual vehicle registration fees and allocates a percentage of the revenues
collected to the City. As of June 30, 2025, the Fund's due from SCAQMD totaled $80,207.

Air Quality Improvement Special Revenue Fund
of the City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies
The Fund receives monies from the SCAQMD that are subject to review and audit by the SCAQMD. Although such
audits could result in disallowed expenditures under terms of the program's guidelines, it is believed that any
repayments resulting from disallowances will not be material. Any identified amounts as a result of these audits would
be required to be remitted back to the SCAQMD or have future remittances from the SCAQMD deducted accordingly.

Notes to the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Change in Fund Balance - Budget and Actual
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are legally adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America for all governmental funds, except that encumbrances are shown in the year incurred for budgetary purposes.
On or before the last day in January of each year, all operational units submit requests for appropriations to the City Manager for
budget preparation purposes. The proposed budget is presented to the City Council for review. The City Council holds public
hearings, and a final budget must be adopted no later than June 30.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department at the category level. The City reports the following
categories: personnel, operating and capital outlay. Additionally, the City separately prepares a capital improvement projects budget.
The budgetary control for the Capital Improvement Program is at the program level.
The City's Department Heads, with approval of the City Manager, may make transfers of appropriations within certain line -items
within a program, but may not exceed the total appropriated amounts for each category. The City Manager may approve transfers that
do not change the total appropriated amount within the fund. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures
may not legally exceed appropriations) is the category level. The schedule does not present the legal level of budgetary control, which
is at the category level. Refer to the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for further information.
Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for expenditures are recorded to reserve that
portion of the applicable appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary accounting. Since
encumbrances do not yet constitute expenditures or liabilities, encumbrances outstanding at year-end are classified as restricted fund
balance. Unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND
OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAUDITINGSTANDARDS
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, 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 ("Government Auditing Standards"), the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Santa Clarita, California (the "City"), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon
dated December 12, 2025.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over
financial reporting ("internal control") as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion
on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City'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 and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Given
these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be
material weaknesses. We identified certain deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying Schedule
of Findings and Questioned Costs as item 2025-001 that we consider to be significant deficiencies.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant
agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are
required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
The City's Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards require auditor to perform limited procedures on the City's response to the findings
identified in our audit and described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. City's
response was not subject to the other auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and,
accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
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.

We have audited the City of Santa Clarita, California's (the "City") compliance with the types of compliance
requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material
effect on each of the City's major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2025. The City's major federal
programs are identified in the summary of the auditor's results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and
Questioned Costs.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that
could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America ("GAAS"); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States ("Government Auditing Standards"), and the audit
requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance"). Our responsibilities under those
standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of
Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with
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 opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not
provide a legal determination of the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Managementfor Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws,
statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City's federal programs.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City's
compliance based on our audit. 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, Government Auditing Standards, and
the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material
noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually
or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the
City's compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we
• exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, 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 City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
• obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal control over
compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over
compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance
does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A
material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material
weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in
internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over
compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.

Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. We issued our
report thereon dated December 12, 2025, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial statements. Our
audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the
basic financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for purposes
of additional analysis as required by Uniform Guidance and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the Schedule of Expenditure of Federal Awards is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Reporting Entity
The financial reporting entity, as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") Codification,
consists of the primary government, which is the City of Santa Clarita, California (the "City"), organizations for
which the primary government is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and
significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the City's
financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
The City Council acts as the governing body and is able to impose its will on the following organization, establishing
financial accountability:
• The Santa Clarita Public Financing Authority
• The Santa Clarita Public Television Authority
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
Funds received under the various grant programs have been recorded within the special revenue funds and enterprise
fund of the City. The City utilizes the modified accrual basis of accounting for the special revenue funds and the
accrual basis of accounting for the enterprise fund. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
(the "Schedule") is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations
("CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards (the "Uniform Guidance"). Therefore, some amounts presented in the Schedule may differ from amounts
presented in, or used in, the preparation of City's basic financial statements.
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
The accompanying Schedule presents the activity of all federal financial assistance programs of the City. Federal
financial assistance received directly from federal agencies, as well as federal financial assistance passed through the
State of California Department of Transportation, are included in the Schedule. The Schedule was prepared from only
the accounts of various grant programs and, therefore, does not present the financial position or results of operations
of the City.
Indirect Cost Rate
The City did not elect to use the 10% de minimis cost rate.

Section II — Financial Statement Findings
A. Current Year Findings —Financial Statement
Finding 2025-001: Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Prior Period Adjustments
Criteria:
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation as well as the accuracy of its financial
statements including disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America; this includes 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. As part of satisfying that responsibility, management should ensure complete year-end closing and
diligently produce reliable and accurate financial information.
In essence, accounting policies and procedures would aid the City in providing training for accounting personnel,
communicating and providing a source of reference to approved policies, and maintaining consistency of
recording financial transactions.
Condition:
During the year ended June 30, 2025, the City reported prior period adjustments to the governmental activities
beginning net position due to corrections to the developer credit in the amount of $14,166,245 and California
Energy Commission 2024 loan in the amount of $2,700,000.
Cause:
The City did not have formal policies and procedures for communicating, reconciling, and reviewing the B&T
credit issued and used. In addition, there was ineffective review of account coding when the debt proceed was
initially received in the prior year as other revenue instead of other financing sources.
Context and Effect:
Prior period adjustments were reported in the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Recommendation:
We recommend that the City improve its review processes over developer credit and proceed from loan to ensure
they are thoroughly reviewed and accurately recorded.
Views of Responsible Officials:
The City concurs the finding.
Bridge and Thoroughfare (B&T) Credits
During Fiscal Year 24/25, Finance staff identified bridge and thoroughfare credits recorded on the City's financial
statements did not reconcile with the Traffic Division's records. When identified, staff immediately conducted an
internal review of all bridge and thoroughfare credits. As a part of the review and analysis, staff identified bridge
and thoroughfare credits were overstated by a net amount of $14,166,242. The City immediately took several
actions to implement additional procedures and controls to ensure accuracy is maintained going forward.

Views of Responsible Officials: (Continued)
Bridge and Thoroughfare (B&T) Credits (Continued)
These include: 1) A new master B&T tracking matrix was developed and will be maintained by Traffic on an
ongoing basis; 2) Public Works will generate an annual fiscal year end record to certify credit balances are
accurate; 3) A new electronic Laserfiche form was developed to establish a formal workflow that includes
date/time stamps and email reminders to prevent an abandoned form, whereby Finance acknowledges the
issuance/usage/transfer of credits prior to Public Works signing a letter to the developer certifying the action,
followed by Finance assigning a journal entry number confirming the credit was recorded in the City's financial
system, completing the workflow; and 4) Finance has added a line item to its year-end audit task list, requiring a
positive, signed confirmation from Public Works staff, (Transportation Planning Analyst, Assistant City
Engineer, and Director of Public Works) certifying B&T credit balances are accurate for each fiscal year.
California Energy Commission Loan
Additional internal training has been provided to Finance staff. Staff have also attended California Society of
Municipal Finance Officers' (CSMFO) trainings including the Annual Weekend Training Seminar. Staff will be
attending various upcoming webinars focused on governmental accounting and municipal financing, as well as
training sessions at the annual CSMFO conference. A line item has been added to Finance's year-end audit task
list, requiring staff review and evaluate unique transactions, including debt issuance, to ensure the transactions are
properly recorded. A note is also included for staff to confirm all unique transactions are accurately booked with
the City's auditors during annual audit, prior to report issuance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of the Open Space Preservation District Special Revenue Fund (the "Fund")
of the City of Santa Clarita, California (the "City") as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to
the financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2025, and the change in its financial position for the year then ended, in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
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 ("Government Auditing Standards"). 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 opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note I to the financial statements, the financial statements present only the Fund and do not purport to,
and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2025, the changes in its financial position, or,
where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with 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.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control -related matters that we identified during
the audit.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinion on the Fund's financial statements. The Schedule of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Change in Fund Balance - Budget and Actual is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and
was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements
and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and
Change in Fund Balance - Budget and Actual is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial
statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 12, 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, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely
to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE
AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of the City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, 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 ( "Government Auditing Standards"), the financial statements of the Open Space Preservation
District Special Revenue Fund (the "Fund"), of the City of Santa Clarita, California (the "City"), as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
December 12, 2025.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over the
Open Space Preservation District Special Revenue Fund's financial reporting ("internal control") as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements
on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
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 were not identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the 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, 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.

Open Space Preservation District Special Revenue Fund
of the City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Financial Reporting Entity
On July 17, 2007, the City of Santa Clarita (the "City") established the Santa Clarita Open Space Preservation
District (the "District") pursuant to the provisions of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of
Division 15 of the California Street and Highway Code. The purpose of the District is to fund a portion of the City's
open space, park and parkland program consisting of the acquisition, preservation, improvement, servicing,
financing and maintenance of open -space land, parks and parkland, and appurtenant equipment and facilities,
including the payment of debt service, of benefit to the property within the District. Facilities include, but are not
limited to, open -space land, parks, parklands, the Santa Clarita River Watershed, trail systems and wildlife
corridors. These are financed by special assessments levied on parcels within the City boundaries. The boundaries
of the District are the same as the boundaries of the City. The City established the Open Space Preservation District
Special Revenue Fund (the "Fund") to account for the activities of the District. The City has title of the constructed
assets within the boundaries of the District. Any debt issued for activities of the District are issued in the name of
the City. The financial statements were prepared from only the accounts of the Fund and, therefore, do not present
the financial position or results of operations of the City and changes in financial position thereof for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
B. Fund Accounting
The Fund's statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund is presented as a Special Revenue Fund of the City. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") is the acknowledged standard -setting body for establishing accounting and
financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States.
C. Financial Statements Presentation, Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
Governmental fund financial statements include a balance sheet and a statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balance.
The Fund is accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement focus and the modified
accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the balance
sheet. The statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance present increases (revenues and other
financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in the fund balance. The primary revenue
sources are special assessments and interest revenue. 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. Revenues are considered available if they are collected within 90 days of the end of the current
fiscal period, except for special assessments, which are within 60 days.
Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred.
D. Cash and Investments
The Fund's cash balance was pooled with various other City funds for deposit and investment purposes. The City's
treasurer is responsible for the cash management of the Fund's cash balance, which pools available cash for
investment purposes. The cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-
term investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Each City fund owns
a share of pooled cash and investments, which are separately maintained, and interest income was apportioned
based on its average month -end cash balances to the total of the pooled cash and investments.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
E. Special Assessments
Special assessment taxes are attached as enforceable liens on real property on July 1, the beginning of the fiscal
year, and are due in two installments on November 1 and February 1; however, no penalties or interest are assessed
until December 10 and April 10, respectively. These taxes are determined annually based on property values, subject
to limits based on Proposition 13, as of January 1 of the levy year, which is prior to the end of the previous fiscal
year. The County of Los Angeles bills and collects these taxes for the District and are remitted on a monthly basis.
F. Fund Balance
In the Fund's financial statements, fund balance is classified as follows:
Restricted - Restricted fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources subject to externally enforceable
legal restrictions. This includes externally imposed restrictions by creditors, such as through debt covenants,
grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, as well as restrictions imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Expenditures as they are incurred are applied against these
restricted net resources.
G. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from
these estimates and assumptions.
Note 2 — Cash and Investments
The Fund's share of the City's pooled cash and investments at June 30, 2025 was in the amount of $8,117,857.
Cash is deposited in the City's internal investment pool, which is reported at amortized cost. The Fund does not own
specifically identifiable securities in the City's pool. Interest income is allocated based on average cash balances.
Investment policies and associated risk factors applicable to the Fund are those of the City and are included in the City's
basic financial statements. Please refer to the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for related disclosures for
cash and investments.
Note 3 — Transfers to Other Funds of the City of Santa Clarita
The Fund made transfers to the City's Public Financing Authority Debt Service Fund in the amount of $844,806 for
current year debt service payments for the Lease Revenue Bond Series 2016B. As of June 30, 2025, $10,565,000 was
outstanding. Revenues from the Fund are pledged for repayment of the bonds, but the City is not obligated to require
additional amounts from the Fund in event the revenues of the fund are insufficient for bond repayment. Additional
information regarding the Lease Revenue Bond Series 2016B is presented in the City's Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report.
The Fund also made transfers to the City's General Fund in the amount of $122,833 towards the Fund's share of pension
liability payment.

Notes to the Budgetary Comparison Schedule
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Budgetary Information
Annual budgets are legally adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America for all governmental funds, except that encumbrances are shown in the year incurred for budgetary purposes.
On or before the last day in January of each year, all operational units submit requests for appropriations to the City Manager for
budget preparation purposes. The proposed budget is presented to the City Council for review. The City Council holds public
hearings, and a final budget must be adopted no later than June 30.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department at the category level. The City reports the following
categories: personnel, operating and capital outlay. Additionally, the City separately prepares a capital improvement projects budget.
The budgetary control for the Capital Improvement Program is at the program level.
The City's Department Heads, with approval of the City Manager, may make transfers of appropriations within certain line -items
within a program, but may not exceed the total appropriated amounts for each category. The City Manager may approve transfers that
do not change the total appropriated amount within the fund. The legal level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures
may not legally exceed appropriations) is the category level. The schedule does not present the legal level of budgetary control, which
is at the category level. Refer to the Citv's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for further information.
Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for expenditures are recorded to reserve that
portion of the applicable appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary accounting. Since
encumbrances do not yet constitute expenditures or liabilities, encumbrances outstanding at year-end are classified as restricted fund
balance. Unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of the Transit Enterprise Fund (the "Transit Fund") of the City of Santa Clarita,
California (the "City"), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, as
listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Transit Fund as of June 30, 2025, and the changes in its financial position for the year then
ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
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 ("Government Auditing Standards"). 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 opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Transit Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present
fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2025, the changes in its financial position, or where applicable,
its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Page 2
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with 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.
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 Schedule of Proportionate
Share of the Net Pension Liability, the Schedule of Contributions — Pensions, the Schedule of Proportionate Share of
the Net Other Postemployment Benefits ("OPEB") Liability, and the Schedule of Contributions — Other
Postemployment Benefits be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and, although not a part of the financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the financial
statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures
to the Required Supplementary Information in accordance with GAAS, 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 financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the 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.
Management has omitted the management's discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected
by this missing information.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 12, 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, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely
to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards
in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE
AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Mayor and the Members of City Council
of the City of Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita, 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 ("Government Auditing Standards"), the financial statements of the Transit Enterprise Fund (the
"Transit Fund"), of the City of Santa Clarita, California (the "City"), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and
the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 12, 2025.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over the
Transit Fund's financial reporting ("internal control") as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements
on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
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 were not identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Transit 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, 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.

Transit Enterprise Fund of the City of Santa Clarita
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Description of the Financial Reporting Entity
The financial statements of the Transit Enterprise Fund (the "Transit Fund") of the City of Santa Clarita, California
(the "City") are intended to present the financial position and results of the bus line services operation. The financial
statements of the Transit Fund are included as a business -type (enterprise fund) activity in the basic financial
statements of the City. The financial statements were prepared from only the accounts of the Fund. Accordingly,
the financial statements do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City and changes
in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States of America.
B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statements Presentation
The accounting policies of the Fund are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("U.S. GAAP") applicable to proprietary activities of governmental units. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") is the accepted standard -setting body for establishing accounting and
financial reporting principles.
The financial statements of the Transit Fund include a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues,
Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position, and a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared using the "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of
accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statement of
net position. The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position presents 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 recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred.
Operating revenues and expenses result from the operating and maintenance of the local public transit services. The
operating revenues consist of only charges to customers for the service provided (bus fares). Operating expenses
include the costs of providing these services, administrative expenses and depreciation expense. All revenues and
expenses not meeting these definitions, and which are not capital in nature are reported as non -operating revenues
and expenses.
The Transit Fund recognizes assets of non -exchange transactions in the period when the underlying transaction
occurs, when an enforceable legal claim has arisen, or when all eligibility requirements are met. Non -exchange
transactions occur when the Fund receives value from another party without giving equal or nearly equal value in
return. Various intergovernmental revenues and most donations are examples of non -exchange transactions. Under
the terms of grant agreements, the Fund has an enforceable claim with other governmental agencies when specific
program expenses are incurred. The Fund has an enforceable claim to local funding allocations when the allocations
are determined by the other governmental agencies on an annual basis.
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Transit Fund's cash balance was pooled with various other City funds for deposit and investment purposes.
The City's treasury is responsible for the cash management of the Transit Fund's cash balance. Cash on hand,
demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of
acquisition, and the Transit Fund's participation in the City investment pool are considered to be cash and cash
equivalents. Each City fund owns a share of pooled cash and investments and interest income was apportioned
based on its average month -end cash balances in proportion to the total of the pooled cash and investments.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
D. Grants
Grant revenues and receivables are recorded when earned on grants that have been approved and funded by the
grantor, and when eligibility requirements for the grant have been met. Grant sources include Federal Transit
Administration, State of California, and Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
E. Administrative Services
Service costs include contractual, professional, and legal services.
F. Prepaids Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items
in the financial statements.
G. Capital Assets
Capital assets include land, site improvements, buildings and improvements, and vehicles and equipment. Capital
assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial cost of more than $10,000 ($25,000 for site improvements
and building improvements) and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical
cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value
at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Site improvements 5 to 50
Building and improvements 5 to 50
Equipment 5 to 25
H. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
The statement of financial position reports separate sections for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows
of resources, when applicable.
Deferred Outflows of Resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods. The Transit
Fund reports pension contribution after measurement date, deferred loss related to pension and other
postemployment benefits in this category.
Deferred Inflows ofResources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods. The Transit Fund
reports deferred gain related to pension and other postemployment benefits in this category.
L Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and comp time (compensated
absences). This accumulation is recorded as an expense and liability of the Transit Fund in the fiscal year earned.
The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2025 was $221,304, of which, $143,836 was considered due within one
year, and $77,488 was considered due in more than one year.

Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
J. Pensions
The Transit Fund reports a proportion of the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources related
to pensions, and pension expense, of the collective net pension liability of the City of Santa Clarita. All amounts
and disclosures are presented on a cost -sharing perspective where the Transit Fund is a participant in the City's
plan. For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions,
and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the California Public Employees Retirement
System (Ca1PERS) plan and additions to/deductions from the plan's fiduciary net position have been determined
on the same basis as they are reported by CAPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when due
and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources
related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions
to/deductions from the plans' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported
by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when
due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
The following timeframes are used for pension reporting:
Valuation Date: June 30, 2023
Measurement Date: June 30, 2024
Measurement Period: July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension
expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the
gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources
related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending
on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line
over 5 years. 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.
K. Other Post -Employment Benefits ("OPEB')
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB asset, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources
related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City's plan (OPEB Plan)
and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis.
For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit
terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset
information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation Date: June 30, 2024
Measurement Date: June 30, 2025
Measurement Period: July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Note 1— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
K. Other Post -Employment Benefits ("OPEB') (Continued)
Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over
time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The
remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are
to be recognized in future OPEB expense. The gain and loss 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.
L. Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows, and liabilities and deferred inflows,
and is classified into two categories:
Investment in Capital Assets —This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation.
Unrestricted — This amount represents the residual of amounts not classified in investment in capital assets and
represents the net position available for the Transit Fund.
When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, the
Transit Fund's policy is to apply restricted resources first.
M. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
N. Implementation of New Pronouncements
Effective in the current fiscal year:
GASB Statement No. 101 — 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 a unified model and by amending certain previously required
disclosures. The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,
and all reporting periods thereafter. Implementation of this Statement resulted in a restatement of the beginning net
position as of July 1, 2024, as presented in Note 10.

Note 5 — Pension Plan
A. General Information about the Pension Plan
Plan Description
All qualified permanent, probationary, and some PTS employees are eligible to participate in the City's
Miscellaneous Pension Plan, an agent multiple -employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the
California Public Employees' Retirement System (CAPERS), which acts as a common investment and
administrative agent for its participating member employers. The employees are participants in the Miscellaneous
Plan of the City. For financial reporting purposes, the Transit Fund reports a proportionate share of the City's
collective net pension liability, pension expense, and deferred inflows and outflows of resources. Accordingly, the
disclosures and required supplementary information have been reported for the Transit Fund as a cost sharing
participant. Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. Ca1PERS 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 CAPERS website.
The Plan's provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2025, are summarized as follows:

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement law requires that the employer contribution rates
for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1
following notice of a change in rate. Funding contributions for the Plan are determined annually on an actuarial
basis as of June 30 by CAPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the
costs of benefits earned by employees during the year. The employer is required to contribute the difference
between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rates of employees. The expense associated with
contributions for the Transit Fund employees is charged to payroll at the required rates previously noted.
Contributions made to pension plan by the Transit Fund for the year ended June 30, 2025 were $272,765.

1 The mortality table used was developed based on CaIPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021
CAPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre- retirement and Post -retirement mortality rates include 15 years
of projected mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this
table, please refer to the CAPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021 that can
be found on the CaIPERS website.
Changgo f Assumption
There were no assumption changes in 2024.
Long -Term Expected Rate o 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, CAPERS took into account both short-term and long-term
market return expectations. Using historical returns of all of the funds' asset classes, expected compound
(geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of
return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 basis points.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90 percent for the Plan. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will be made at the current
contribution rate and that the employer's contributions will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially
determined. Based on those assumptions, each pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available
to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term
expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the total pension liability.

Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources (Continued)
The expected average remaining service lifetime (" EARSU) is calculated by dividing the total future service years
by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired) in the risk pool. The EARSL for miscellaneous
plan for the 2023-24 measurement period is 4.4 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of
5,887 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 1,338 (the total number of participants:
active, inactive, and retired).
$272,765 deferred outflows of resources related to pensions resulting from the Transit Fund's contributions made
subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the collective net pension liability in the
year ending June 30, 2026. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of

Long -Term Expected Rate o Return
The long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which
best -estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense
and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term
expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage
and by adding expected inflation. The long-term expected real rates of return are presented as geometric means.
The target asset allocation and most recent best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class
are summarized in the following table:
Asset Class Target Allocation Expected Real
Global Equity 60.00% 4.56%
Fixed Income 35.00% 0.78%
