BACKGROUND:
The ACFR provides a narrative overview and analysis of the City’s financial activities for
the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2022. The ACFR is prepared in conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and Governmental Accounting Board
(GASB) requirements. In accordance with GASB’s standards, at the end of August (60
days after year-end), invoices for the fiscal year must be paid and revenues (taxes) for
1
the fiscal year must be received. Subsequently, the financials are completed by the end
of September.
Before the issuance of FY 2021-22 ACFR, in November 2022, the City’s financials were
audited by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA), a firm of licensed certified public accountants .
The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the City’s
financial statements for FY 2021-22 are free of material misstatement. The completion of
the audit was originally scheduled for the end of December. However, due to a staff
shortage impacting CLA’s service levels, the issuance of audit reports in December was
delayed. On April 10, 2023, CLA completed the audit and issued an unmodified (clean)
opinion, in other words, the City’s financial statements are fairly presented in conformity
with GAAP and free of material misstatement.
Pursuant to the City Council Policy No. 44, the Audit Committee is established as a
subcommittee of the City Council, comprised of two members of the City Council
appointed annually by the Mayor. The purpose of the Subcommittee is to review and
oversee the independent audit of the City’s financial statements. On April 27, 2023, CLA’s
audit partner Robert Callanan, met and conducted an exit interview with the current
Subcommittee, comprised of Councilmembers Bradley and Alegria.

Financial Highlights
The City’s government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a
broad overview of the City’s finances. The financial statements combine the
Governmental activities for the purpose of presenting an overall picture of the financial
position and results of operations of the government. The governmental activities are the
City’s General Fund, Capital Improvement Fund, and Special Revenue Funds.
The following are FY 2021-22 financial highlights (page 5 of the ACFR):
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the Fiscal
Year ended June 30, 2022, by $224.3 million (Net Position). Of this amount, $52.8
million (Unrestricted Net Position) may be used to meet the City’s ongoing
obligations to its citizens and creditors. The remaining amount is invested in capital
assets or is otherwise restricted, and therefore not available to meet the City’s
obligations.
• The City’s total Net Position increased by $4.5 million from the prior year from the
Governmental activities primarily due to the significant shift in the economy that
took place during FY 2021-22 and led to a favorable return toward historical
figures.
• The City’s Governmental Funds reported a combined ending Fund Balances of
$84.3 million, an increase of $19.2 million compared to the prior year. This increase
is a combination of higher inflow of revenues and from the $8 million loan proceeds
for the Ladera Linda Community Park Project.
• The General Fund reported an increase in fund balance in the amount of $5.6
million or 22%. The increase is due primarily to the higher inflow of revenue s over
expenditures.
• The General Fund’s unrestricted fund balance of $29,454,065 exceeds the
minimum requirement of $12,944,402 (50% of $25,888,803 in General Fund
annual operating expenditures).
Furthermore, the Statement of Net Position (page 19 of the ACFR) presents the City’s
investments in capital assets, restricted funds, and unrestricted funds. Of the $224.3
million of Net Position, $147.8 million or 66% is invested in capital assets, $23.9 million
is restricted for approved carryover projects in the Capital Improvement Fund and Special
Revenue Funds, and almost $1.8 million is restricted for the Improvement Authority,
Subregion One, and Natural Communities Conservation Plan. The remaining $52.9
million is unrestricted, which may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to its
citizens and creditors.
The summary of the City’s Net Position is illustrated in Table 1 on the next page:

Table 1: Summary of Net Position
Additional details on the City’s Statement of Net Position are on page 19 and pages 51-
52 of the ACFR (Attachment A).
General Fund Balance Results
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the fiscal year, the
unassigned fund balance of the General Fund is $29.5 million, while total Fund Balance
reached $31.4 million. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to
compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund uses
(expenditures and transfers out). Unassigned fund balance represents 96% of total
General Fund uses, while total fund balance represents 98% of the same amount.
As illustrated in Table 2 on the next page, the fund balance of the City’s General Fund
increased by almost $5.6 million from the prior year. The increase is due to the higher
inflow of revenues and expenditures ending the year lower than anticipated which
comprises of personnel and non-personnel. In accordance with the CalPERS Pension
Plan Guidelines, of the $5.6 million increase, the $0.6 million is restricted for the pension
liability payments. These financial year-end details were previously presented to the City
Council on December 20, 2022. Relative to the year-end report presented at that meeting,
the audited fund balance is higher by $0.3 million. The variance was attributed to the first
payment for the Lower Filiorum and Plumtree properties. The payment of $0.3 million is
4
categorized as a prepaid payment since the purchase was not completed by year-end.
There were no other significant changes to report.

Additional Information
Single Audit
Pursuant to Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations 200.501, all State, local
government, and non-profit organizations that expend $750,000 or more of federal funds
in an agency’s fiscal year must complete a single audit. For the FY 2021-22, the total
expended on Federal financial assistance awards for all programs was $1.9 million. The
majority of the expenditure were from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Similar to
the City’s ACFR, CLA issued an unmodified (clean) opinion for transactions related to
federal funds. However, pursuant to the American Rescue Plan Act, Staff will enhance
the vendor verification process prior to entering into the contract by obtaining a specific
document that ARPA requires.
GASB 68 (Pension)
In June 2015, GASB approved Statement No. 68 with the objective to improve accounting
and financial reporting by the state and local governments with respect to pensions. State
and local agencies are required to recognize applicable pension amounts as a liability in
their financial statements (Balance Sheet), and also provide extensive footnote
disclosures and additional supplementary schedules related to their pension plan.
The City’s net pension liability for the Miscellaneous Plan is measured as the
proportionate share of the net pension liability of the CalPERS cost sharing pool. As of
June 30, 2022, the City reported a liability of almost $7.8 million for its proportionate share
of the net pension liability, a decrease of $5.1 million from the previous year. The
decrease is from the 21.3% net return of investments that CalPERS experienced (as of
June 2021), along with assumptions including discount rate, amortization, inflation,

Additional detailed information on City’s Pension Liability is on pages 54-58 and pages

Employee Pension Service Fund (Fund 682)
On February 2, 2021, the City Council approved the CalPERS Pension Plan Guidelines
which provides a financial plan to address the City’s outstanding pension liability and
CalPERS’ continuous change in valuation methodology. Based on the City Council’s
discretion, the goal is to transfer funds to the Employee Pension Service Fund (EPSF) of
at least 10%, but no more than 25%, of the annual General Fund surplus (revenues minus
expenditures, including transfers). As a result, the accumulated funds in the EPSF would
then relieve the General Fund of payment more than $900,000 of the City’s Unfunded
Accrued Liability (UAL).
In accordance with the pension guidelines for transparency, during the fiscal year, Staff
maintains the separate tracking of the fund’s financial transactions in the EPSF, Fund
682. At the end of FY 2021-22, the EPSF’s fund balance is $634,608. In compliance with
GASB’s requirements for ACFR presentation, this amount is included in the General
Fund’s fund balance of $31.4 million, as part of the year-end closing process.
GFOA Award
On April 27, 2023 Staff submitted the application to the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA) for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Finance
Reporting. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR. This report must satisfy both
generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements . If awarded,
it will be the City’s 29th consecutive year to receive the award.
CONCLUSION
On April 10, 2023, CLA issued an unmodified (clean) opinion of the City’s FY 2021-22
financial statements (Attachment A, pages 1-3). Additionally, the auditors are required to
issue a communication letter for all financial audits (Attachment B - SAS 114 Letter) and
a report on internal controls over financial reporting and on compliance based on the audit
in accordance with GAS (Attachment C - GAS Letter). In accordance with the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SAS 114 Letter is a required communication
letter to those charged with governance (City Council) which reports any findings (if
applicable), disagreements with management, and adjustments. The GAS Letter’s
purpose is to report any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies identified during
the course of the audit. As stated in the reports, CLA did not identify any audit findings or
deficiencies in the City’s internal control.

As such, Staff recommends that the City Council receive the City’s FY 2021-22 ACFR
and City’s financial audit reports.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Rancho Palos Verdes, California
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), formerly Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR), of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2022, is hereby submitted as mandated by both local ordinances and state
statutes. These ordinances and statutes require that the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
issue annually a report on its financial position and activity, and that an independent firm
of certified public accountants audit this report. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the
data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures,
rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate
in all material respects and is reported in a manner that presents fairly the financial
position and results of operations of the various funds and component unit of the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, there are no untrue
statements of material fact within the financial statements or omissions of material fact to
cause the financial statements to be misleading. All disclosures necessary to enable the
reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial activities have been included.
CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants, has audited the
City's financial statements. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable
assurance to the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 are
free of material misstatement. The independent auditor concluded it was reasonable to
render an unmodified opinion and that the City's financial statements for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2022, are fairly presented in conformity with the Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). Their report is presented in the beginning of the financial
section of this report.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent
auditors' report and provides a narrative overview and analysis of the basic financial
statements. This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be
read in conjunction with it.

City of Rancho Palos Verdes Profile
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is located on a coastal peninsula overlooking the Pacific
Ocean in Los Angeles County, 20 miles south of the City of Los Angeles. The City was
incorporated September 7, 1973, and currently has land area of 13.6 square miles and a
population of about 41,000. The City is primarily a "bedroom" community with relatively
little commercial activity.
The City has operated under the council-manager form of government since
incorporation. Policy-making and legislative authority are vested in the governing City
Council, which consists of five Council Members, including the Mayor and Mayor Pro-
Tem. The City Council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances,
adopting the budget, appointing committees and hiring the City Manager and the City
Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of
the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, and for appointing
the heads of the City’s departments. The City Council is elected on a non-partisan, at-
large basis. Council Members are elected to four-year staggered terms with two or three
Council Members elected every two years. The City Council designates the Mayor and
Mayor Pro-Tem for a one-year term.
The financial reporting entity (the government) includes all the funds of the primary
government (i.e., the City of Rancho Palos Verdes as legally defined), as well as its
component unit, the Rancho Palos Verdes Joint Powers Improvement Authority. A
component unit is a legally separate entity for which the primary government is financially
accountable. The City provides a broad range of services, including police protection,
solid waste collection, construction, and maintenance of streets and other infrastructure,
planning and zoning activities, recreational activities, cultural events, and general
administrative services. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is a contract city, meaning that
some of these services are provided by contract with other agencies (both public and
private) and some services are delivered by the City's own employees.
Special districts of the County of Los Angeles provide library services, fire protection
services, and sewer services. The City has excluded the County of Los Angeles, as well
as the State of California and various school districts, from the financial reporting entity
because they do not meet the established criteria for inclusion.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Budgetary Controls
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these
budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions contained in the annual
appropriated budgets approved by the City Council and the Improvement Authority
Commission. Activities of the General fund, Special Revenue funds, Capital Projects funds
and Permanent funds are included in the annual appropriated budgets of the government
units except for the Bikeways Special Revenue Fund. The level of budgetary control (that
A-12
(iii)
is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is
established at the department/function level within each fund. Formal budgetary
integration is employed as a management control device. The City also maintains an
encumbrance accounting system as one method of maintaining budgetary control. These
encumbrances lapse at year-end, and any unexpended balance is eligible to be carried
over to the following year's budget appropriations with City Council approval.
Adopted Budget to Actual Comparison
The City experienced an overall $7.8 million favorable budget variance in the General
fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Post-pandemic recovery efforts led to an
economic upswing and favorable revenue variance of $6 million higher than budgeted.
Total expenditures also fared favorably and ended the year $1.6 million below budget.
Much of the positive expenditure variance is from a capital purchase that was not
completed by year-end and unspent budget due to unfilled vacant positions.
Financial Policies
The City Council has established Reserve policies that require the City to maintain a
minimum General Fund fund balance of at least 50 percent of the annual operating
expenditures in the General Fund. Reserve levels are reviewed annually during the
budget process. This reserve may be used at the discretion of the City Council to provide
for economic uncertainties, local disasters, contingencies for unseen operating or capital
needs, cash flow requirements and/or other financial hardships or downturns in the local
or national economy.
As of June 30, 2022, the General Fund unrestricted fund balance of $29,454,065 exceeds
the minimum requirement of $12,944,402 (50% of $25,888,803 in General Fund annual
operating expenditures).
The City also maintains a $5 million reserve in the Capital Infrastructure Program (CIP)
fund as a reserve for major improvement projects related to roadways, storm drains,
parks, buildings, rights-of-way, and the sewer system.
Internal Control
The Finance Department of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining an
appropriate internal control structure. The internal control system is designed to ensure
that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure that
adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable,
but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely
to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and
judgements by management.
A-13

Significant Financial Events
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law, amending
Title VI of the Social Security Act to add Section 602 which establishes the Coronavirus
State Fiscal Recovery Fund (CSFR) and Section 603 which establishes the Coronavirus
Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (CLFR). ARPA is a relief package that provides fiscal aid of
$350 billion in emergency funding for state, local, territorial, and tribal governments. The
funding objectives defined by the Department of Treasury (DOT) are as follows:
Support urgent COVID-19 response efforts to continue to decrease spread of the
virus and bring the pandemic under control.
Replace lost revenue for eligible state, local, territorial, and tribal governments to
strengthen support for vital public services and help retain jobs.
Support immediate economic stabilization for households and businesses.
Address systemic public health and economic challenges that have contributed to
the inequal impact of the pandemic.
As defined in CLFR Section 603 (g)(5) of the Social Security Act, local governments that
are serving populations of less than 50,000 are categorized as “non-entitlement units
(NEUs)” of local government. For all NEUs, the DOT disburses the funds to the state
governments, then the state distributes the funds to cities based on the population of the
NEU. Local governments will receive funds in two batches, with 50% being distributed in
June 2021 and the balance to be distributed 12 months later.
The City of Rancho Palos services a population of less than 50,000, thus the City’s ARPA
allocation is disbursed by the State of California. Based on DOT’s formula calculation, the
City’s allocation is $9.9 million. On June 10, 2021, the City submitted its request for
ARPA’s allocations to the State of California Department of Finance (DOF).
Subsequently, on July 13 2021, the City received the first disbursement in the amount of
$4.97 million, and the second disbursement of $4.97 million on July 21, 2022.
In October 2021, the City Council approved 14 projects that are to be funded by the ARPA
funds. The approved categories of the projects are investment in capital infrastructure,
investment in information technology, and investment in protection of life and property.
And in September 2022, the City Council assigned the remaining allocation of $200,000
and interest earnings to the Ladera Linda Community Park Project.
Overall, since receiving the $9.9 million allocation of ARPA funds, the City Council has
committed 100% of the funds. Staff continue to monitor the interest earnings and will
report the status on a quarterly basis. Based on these commitments and once completed,
the utilization of ARPA funds will relieve the General Fund for needed one-time costs and
deferred maintenance projects and generate available funds in the CIP that can be used
for future projects and initiatives.
A-14
(v)
Long-term Financial Planning
The City utilizes two long-term planning tools that serve as a guide to best allocate
resources to meet the City’s needs over time. The first of which is the Five-Year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP provides efficient and effective delivery of
resources for improvement and maintaining public infrastructure and facilities. The Five-
Year Capital Improvement Plan is updated annually during the budget process.
The second long-term planning tool is the City’s Financial Model (Model). Previously, the
financial model presented a five-year outlook and was later expanded to ten years
beginning in FY 2021-22. The Model establishes the foundation for guiding policy and
making financial decisions, considering any forecasted challenges and opportunities
before they arise. This Model allows for the creation of baseline and alternative revenue
and spending forecasts, including historic and projected annual periods for the next ten
years. The Model also allows for testing the impact of assumptions and proposed
initiatives on projected budget gaps and fund balances.
To ensure a more accurate forecast, the Finance Department actively updates the
planning tools with the most current information available. Accordingly, any substantial
changes of the assumptions will be presented to the City Council.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
The City's staff, following specific directives of the City Council and the City Manager,
have been involved in a variety of projects throughout the year. Here are some projects
to highlight the City’s commitment to ensuring that its citizens are able to live and work in
a thriving environment.
Adopted the City’s first Legislative Platform outlining the policy positions of the City
Council on current issues which directly or indirectly impact the City.
Disseminated position letters for the City on various bills and legislative issues,
including dozens of bills during the 2021-2022 Legislative Session, and tracking
over 100 bills with potential impact on the City.
Negotiated ground lease amendments with telecommunications providers,
resulting in increased rents paid to the City.
Took the offices of Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman Ted Lieu on tours
of the Portuguese Bend Landslide to familiarize them with the urgency of the issue.
Submitted requests for congressionally directed spending for the Portuguese Bend
Landslide Remediation Project, with Senator Feinstein subsequently requesting
$2 million in the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill be allocated to a portion of
the project.
Represented the City at meetings with Senator Feinstein’s office and the EPA
regarding the recently rediscovered DDT dumping site off the coast and advocated
for an assessment of contamination and possible solutions for remediation.
RPV named 9th Safest City in California by SafeWise.

OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit
The City requires an annual audit by independent certified public accountants. The
accounting firm of CliftonLarsonAllen LLP conducted this year's audit. The auditors' report
on the government-wide financial statements and combining and individual fund
statements and schedules is included in the financial section of this report.
Single Audit
As a recipient of federal, state, and county financial assistance, the City is responsible for
ensuring that an adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure compliance with
applicable laws and regulations related to those programs. This internal control structure
is subject to periodic evaluation by management. In years when over $750,000 is
expended on Federal financial assistance programs, the City is required to undergo an
annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and
U.S. Office of Management and the Uniform Guidance. For the year ended June 30, 2022,
the City expended over $750,000 on Federal financial assistance programs in the amount
of $1.9 million; and therefore, a Single Audit is required.

GFOA Certificate of Achievement Award
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Finance Reporting to the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes for its ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. This was the
28th consecutive year that the City has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be
awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and
efficiently organized ACFR. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our
current ACFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements
and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Acknowledgments
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the dedication of the
entire staff of the Finance Department. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance
of the City’s auditors, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, and the contributions of all the departments
by providing data necessary to prepare the City’s FY 2021-22 ACFR.
In closing, I want to thank the City Council and City Manager for their continued leadership
in directing the City to achieve a sound fiscal position over the last several years. We look
forward to maintaining this success in the future under the leadership of the City Council
and City Manager.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
City Council Members
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Rancho Palos Verdes, California
Report on the Audit of Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes (the City), as of
and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position, and,
where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparisons for the General Fund, and
American Rescue Plan Act special revenue fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditors’ 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 described in Note 10 to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2021, the City adopted new accounting
guidance, Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB Statement) No. 87, Leases. Our
opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
A-25
City Council Members
City of Rancho Palos Verdes

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a
going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes
our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and
therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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 City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ 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 City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ 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 schedule of proportionate share of the net pension liability,
and the schedule of pension contributions, be presented to supplement the 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 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 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.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ basic financial statements. The combining statements and
individual fund schedules 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 individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules 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 auditors’ 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
April 10, 2023, 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 City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(5)
The Management of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes offers readers of the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes’ Financial Statements this narrative overview and analysis of the City’s
financial activities for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2022. We encourage readers to
consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we
have furnished in our Letter of Transmittal, which can be found on pages i-viii of this
report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the Fiscal
Year ended June 30, 2022, by $224.3 million (Net Position). Of this amount, $52.8
million (Unrestricted Net Position) may be used to meet the City’s ongoing
obligations to its citizens and creditors. The remaining amount is invested in capital
assets or is otherwise restricted, and therefore not available to meet the City’s
obligations.
The City’s total Net Position increased by $4.5 million from the prior year from the
Governmental activities primarily due to the significant shift in the economy that
took place during FY 2021-22 and led to a favorable return toward historical
figures.
As of June 30, 2022, the City’s Governmental Funds reported combined ending
Fund Balances of $84.3 million, an increase of $19.2 million in comparison with
the prior year. This increase is a combination of higher inflow of revenues and from
the debt loan proceeds for the Ladera Linda Community Park Project.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the General Fund reported an increase in fund
balance in the amount of $5.6 million or 22%. The increase is due primarily to
higher inflow of revenues over expenditures.
As of June 30, 2022, the General Fund unrestricted fund balance of $29,454,065
exceeds the City Council’s reserve policy minimum requirement of $12,944,402
(50% of $25,888,803 in General Fund annual operating expenditures).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(6)
OVERVIEW OF THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic
financial statements, which are comprised of three components: 1) Government-Wide
Financial Statements; 2) Fund Financial Statements; and 3) Notes to the Financial
Statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the
basic financial statements themselves.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide Financial Statements are designed to provide readers with a
broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred
outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference
between the two reported as Net Position. Over time, increases or decreases in net
position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government’s net
position changed during the most recent Fiscal Year. All changes in net position are
reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of
the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this
statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods
(e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both the Government-Wide Financial Statements distinguish functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities)
from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs
through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of
the City include general government, public safety, public works, community development
and parks and recreation. The City no longer has business-type activities.
The Government-Wide Financial Statements include not only the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes itself (known as the Primary Government), but also a legally separate
Improvement Authority for which the City of Rancho Palos Verdes is financially
accountable. Financial information for this Component Unit has been included as an
integral part of the primary government.
A-30
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(7)
The Government-Wide Financial Statements can be found on pages 19-20 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements
A Fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources
that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Rancho Palos
Verdes, like other State and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the Funds of the
City can be divided into three categories: Governmental Funds, Proprietary Funds, and
Fiduciary Funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental Funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. However, unlike
the Government-Wide Financial Statements, Governmental Fund Financial Statements
focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances
of spendable resources available at the end of the Fiscal Year. Such information may be
useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements. The Governmental
Fund Financial Statements can be found on pages 21-24.
Because the focus of Governmental Funds is narrower than that of the Government-Wide
Financial Statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for Governmental
Funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the Government-
Wide Financial Statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term
impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. The Governmental Balance
Sheet and Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in
Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
Governmental Funds and governmental activities.
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes maintained 29 individual Governmental Funds during
the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2022. Information is presented separately in the
Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund, American
Rescue Plan Act Fund, and the Capital Improvements Fund are considered to be major
funds. Data from the other 26 Governmental Funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these Other Governmental
Funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
A-31
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(8)
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes adopts an annual appropriated budget for each of its
Governmental Funds except for the Bikeways Special Revenue Fund. A budgetary
comparison statement has been provided for each Governmental Funds to demonstrate
compliance with this budget.
Proprietary Funds
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes maintains one type of Proprietary Fund. Internal Service
Funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among
the City’s various functions. The City uses an Internal Service Fund to account for its fleet
of vehicles, computer systems, furniture and equipment, and Civic Center building
replacement/improvements. Because these services predominantly benefit the
governmental function, they have been included within governmental activities in the
Government-Wide Financial Statements.
The Proprietary Fund Financial Statements can be found on pages 28-30 of this report.
The Proprietary Fund Financial Statements provide separate information for the City’s
Internal Service Fund. The Internal Service Fund is combined and presented with the
City’s governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Fiduciary Fund
The City is a fiduciary for the Successor Agency to the Rancho Palos Verdes
Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”). The City is responsible for ensuring
that the assets reported in the Successor Agency’s private-purpose trust fund are only:
1) used to extinguish the obligations of the former RDA; or 2) transferred to another
agency pursuant to state redevelopment dissolution law. All of the fiduciary activities are
reported in a separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Position and Statement of Changes in
Fiduciary Net Position. We exclude these activities from the City’s Government-Wide
Financial Statement because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations.
The Fiduciary Fund statements can be found on pages 31-32 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the
data provided in the Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements. The notes to the
financial statements can be found on pages 33-65 of this report.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s
financial position. In the case of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, assets and deferred
outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $224.3
million on June 30, 2022. By far, the largest portion of the City’s Net Position of $147.5
million or 66% reflects its net investment in Capital Assets (e.g. Land, Infrastructure,
Buildings, and Equipment). The City uses these Capital Assets to provide services to its
citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Summary of Net Position
2022 2021

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(10)
A portion of the City’s Net Position of $23.9 million or 10%, represents resources subject
to external restrictions. The remaining balance of Unrestricted Net Position of
$52.9 million or 24 % may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to its
citizens and creditors.
Compared to the prior year, the total current and other assets increased by $20.8 million
or 25%. The increase is primarily due to higher inflow of revenues, and from the unspent
loan proceeds for the Ladera Linda Community Park Project.
As a result of the new loan, the long-term liabilities outstanding increased by $2.0 million
or 15% over the prior year. Additionally, other liabilities increased by $4.6 million or 87%
over prior year mainly from timing disbursements of the City’s allocations from the
American Rescue Plan Act.

Governmental Activities
As illustrated in the chart above, the City’s Net Position in Governmental Activities
increased by $4.5 million over the prior fiscal year. The increase is mainly from the
ongoing solid recovery of the City’s general revenues since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overall, government-wide revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, increased
by $7.8 million. Of the increased amount, $0.5 million was from the program revenues in
grants and $4.0 million was from general revenues.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s Governmental Funds reported combined
ending Fund Balances of $84.3 million, an increase of $19.2 million in comparison to the
prior year. Approximately $80.9 million or 96% of the combined ending Fund Balances
constitutes spendable fund balance. The remainder of the combined ending Fund
Balances are non-spendable either due to legal restrictions or non-spendable in the form
of prepaid items and inventory. Additional information on the non-spendable items can be
found in Note 8 on pages 51-52 of this report.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. At the
end of the current fiscal year, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund is $29.5
million, while total Fund Balance reached to $31.4 million. As a measure of the General
Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare both Unassigned Fund Balance and Total
Fund Balance to total fund uses (expenditures and transfers out). Unassigned Fund
Balance represents 96% of total General Fund uses, while total Fund Balance represents
98% of the same amount.
The fund balance of the City’s General Fund increased by $5.6 million from the prior year.
The increase is due to the higher inflow of revenues and delayed projects that were not
completed at year-end. Additional details on General Fund are provided in the General
Fund Highlights.
At the end of the fiscal year, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) has a deficit fund
balance of $0.03 million mainly due to the fund’s investment loss.
The Capital Improvements Capital Projects Fund ended the year with an increase of
$11.7 million of the fund balance from the prior year. The majority of the increase is largely
from the loan proceeds of $8 million for the Ladera Linda Community Park Project and
from the budgeted capital outlay projects that were not completed by year-end. These
projects are primarily from the residential street rehabilitation program, Civic Center
Project, and Ladera Linda Community Park Project.
Financial Analysis of Proprietary Funds
The City’s Proprietary Funds provide the same type of information found in the
Government-Wide Financial Statements, but in more detail.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(14)
The Net Position of the Internal Service Funds at the end of the fiscal year amounted to
$2.9 million, an increase to the Net Position by $0.2 million. The increased amount is due
the increase in funding received for the replacement of computers and hardware,
equipment, and vehicles.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ budget is prepared over the course of several months,
beginning with a thorough review and analysis of the prior fiscal year between September
and December. The General Fund actual year-end results show operations ending the
year with total revenues of almost $35.9 million and $25.9 million of expenditures. When
including net transfers out of $4.5 million, there is a positive variance of just almost $5.5
million (revenues to expenditures).
The economic upswing and strong rebound in General Fund revenues experienced in in
FY 2021-22 led to historical revenue growth.
Revenue Highlights
Taxes
Taxes include property tax, transient occupancy tax (TOT), sales tax, franchise tax,
utility users tax, and other miscellaneous taxes. Tax revenues ended the year at
$31 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 17% over the final budget of $26 million.
The increase in revenues was partly due to property tax revenue; the City’s largest
revenue source ending the year at $16.6 million. A strong housing market and
abundant sales activity led to higher than expected revenue growth in this category.
Additionally, elevated demand for leisure activities lead to an increase in TOT
revenue. As a result of lagging demand and higher prices, TOT revenues received
were the highest amount on record.
Licenses and Permits
This category ended the year at $3.3 million, $1.3 million, or 60%, above the final
budget of $2.1 million. Revenue growth is attributed to the ongoing demand for
Building & Safety, Planning & Zoning, and Geology Permits delayed by the
pandemic. An increase in the master fee schedule also contributed to growth.
A-38
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(15)
Fines and Forfeitures
Revenues totaled $517,637, which is $190,437 or 58% over the final budget of
$327,200. The two primary contributors to this increase in revenue were Parking
Lot Fees and Traffic Tickets.
Expenditure Highlights
Salaries & Benefits
This category ended the year $1.6 million or 14% under the final budget of $12
million. This is due to unfilled vacant positions.
Professional & Technical Services
This category came in approximately $708,412 or 21% under the final budget
of $3.4 million. This underrun is due to delayed services and planned services
that were not completed due to staffing shortages.
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
The City’s investment in Capital Assets for its Governmental activities as of June 30,
2022, amounts to $149.0 million (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in
capital assets includes land, buildings, park improvements, roadways, sewer, storm
drains, vehicles, computer equipment, right-to-use leased equipment, furniture, other
equipment, and construction in progress.
Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following:
Depreciation/ amortization of $6.9 million was recorded for the City’s Capital
Assets.
A total of $1.5 million of construction in progress was added primarily from the
Ladera Linda Community Park Project.

City of Rancho Palos Verdes Outstanding Long-term Liabilities
At the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City’s total outstanding debt increased by
$7,976,583 or 1,486%. Additional information on the City’s long-term liabilities can be
found in Note 7 on pages 50-51 of this report.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue
to 15 percent of its total assessed valuation. The current debt limitation for the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes is $2,181,192,000.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR BUDGETS AND RATES
The annual budget is developed in conformity with the City’s long tradition of fiscal
responsibility. Along with newly established and current City Council Goals, public safety
and infrastructure projects remain a top priority alongside providing the highest possible
service levels to the community. The City maintains a healthy financial outlook and
supports the General Fund operations with only recurring tax revenue. Roughly 46% of
the General Fund revenue came from property tax during FY 2021-22. Property tax is
expected to continue to account for 46% of general fund revenue during FY 2022-23. This
stable revenue base provides the City with a steady and predictable revenue inflow year
over year.
For the upcoming fiscal year, total property values increased by $278 million based on
the maximum CPI of 2%. Moreover, properties sold between January and December
2021 provided an additional $517 million in property value. Given these factors, and a
proposition 8 recapture total of $54 million, staff anticipates a 5.9% increase in overall
property value. In total, property tax revenues are projected to grow to slightly over $16.4
million, or 4.2%, in FY 2022-23.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
(18)
A return to economic normalcy led towards historical growth in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2022. Growth is expected to remain stable throughout the FY 2022-23 fiscal, but
signs of a slowing economy are likely to become more apparent. Ultimately, the City-wide
annual budget continues to showcase the City’s commitment to fiscal prudence,
predicated on maintaining a structurally sound operating budget, lean staffing, healthy
cash reserves and absence of debt.

(24)
Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds 19,164,746$
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 assets is allocated over their estimated
useful lives as depreciation expense, or are allocated to the appropriate functional
expense when the cost is below the capitalization threshold. Asset disposals are
also not recognized in the governmental funds. This activity is reconciled as follows:
Cost of Assets Capitalized 1,673,463
Depreciation/Amortization Expense (6,776,113)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.(218,513)
Increases in long-term notes receivable use current financial resources and are
included in the expenditures of governmental funds. Repayments of long-term notes
receivable provide current financial resources and are included in the revenues of
governmental funds. These changes in notes receivable are not reflected in the
revenues or expenses of the Statement of Activities. This amount represents the
net change in the long-term notes receivable.175,116
The issuance of long-term liabilities provides current financial resources to
governmental funds, while repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes
the current financial resources of the governmental funds. Issuance of debt increases
long-term liabilities and the repayment of principal reduces long-term liabilities in the
Statement of Net Position:
Loan Proceeds (8,000,000)
Principal Payments on Leases Liability 7,977
Certain expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds. Such expenses relate to:
Net change in compensated absences 15,440
Net change in accrued interest payable (35,967)
Governmental funds report pension contributions as expenditures. However, in the
Statement of Activities, pension expense is measured as the change in net pension
liability and the amortization of deferred outflows and inflows relate to pensions.
This amount represents the net change in pension related amounts.(1,667,246)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, including equipment and building replacement and employee benefits,
to individual funds. The net revenues (expenses) of the internal service funds are

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes (the City) conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governments.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting
body for governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a
summary of the significant policies.
A. Reporting Entity
The reporting entity, “City of Rancho Palos Verdes”, includes the accounts of the City
and the Joint Powers Improvement Authority (the Authority). The City was incorporated
on September 7, 1973, as a General Law City and operates under a Council/Manager
form of government.
The City sponsored the formation of a Redevelopment Agency in 1984 pursuant to the
State of California Health and Safety Code Section 33000 entitled “Community
Redevelopment Law” with a purpose to finance long-term capital improvements
designed to eliminate physical and economic blight in a project area through stabilization
of hazardous landslides. Effective February 1, 2012, pursuant to state law, the
Redevelopment Agency was dissolved and its assets were transferred to a Successor
Agency for the purpose of winding down the business of the former Redevelopment
Agency (see Note 14). The Successor Agency is a separate legal entity that is a related
organization to the City; but is not a component unit, as described more fully below.
The Authority was formed on September 4, 1990, in accordance with the provisions of
the Reimbursement and Settlement Agreement, dated October 27, 1987, entered into by
the City, the former Redevelopment Agency, and the County of Los Angeles (County) in
connection with the Horan Lawsuit. The Agreement requires funds to be set aside and
expended by the Authority to maintain landslide abatement improvements installed and
constructed by the former Redevelopment Agency.
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is the primary government unit. Component units are
legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the primary government
are financially accountable. In addition, component units can be other organizations for
which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are
such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be
misleading. The City has accounted for the Authority as a “blended” component unit. The
balances and transactions of the Authority are reported in separate Permanent and
Special Revenue Funds; and are included in the government-wide statements.

CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
(34)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
A. Reporting Entity (Continued)
The following specific criteria were used in determining that the Authority is a “blended”
component unit.
The members of the City Council also act as members of the Authority Board.
The Authority is fiscally dependent on the City, and there is potential for the
Authority to impose specific financial burdens on the City; as the City subsidizes
maintenance operations performed by the Authority and the City is legally liable
for facilities maintained by the Authority.
Separately issued financial statements for the Authority may be obtained at the City’s
administrative offices.
The Successor Agency is a fiduciary component unit. The balances and transactions of
the Successor Agency are reported as a separate Fiduciary Fund private purpose trust
fund.
Participation in Public Entity Jointly Controlled Government
The City is a member of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit Joint Powers Authority (the
Transit Authority). The Transit Authority is comprised of three member cities and is
organized under a Joint Powers Agreement pursuant to the California Government
Code. The purpose of the Authority is to study, implement, and provide a public transit
system within and around the Palos Verdes Peninsula. These transit services include
Palos Verdes Transit, Dial-A-Ride, and a fixed route shuttle service. Periodic deposits
are paid by member Cities and are adjusted retrospectively to cover costs. Costs are
prorated among all participating Cities based on population.
The City does not have an equity interest in the Transit Authority; therefore, no amount
has been reported in the statement of net position. However, the City does have an
ongoing financial interest because the City is able to influence the operations of the
Authority so that the Authority uses its resources on behalf of the City. Also, an ongoing
financial responsibility exists because the Authority is dependent on continued funding
from the City. The condensed financial information of the Authority has not been
reproduced in this report, but is available upon request from the Authority by emailing
pvtransit@palosverdes.com or mailing a request to P.O. Box 2656, Palos Verdes
Peninsula, CA 90274.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. Description of Funds
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
with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities,
deferred outflows/inflows, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures. The following are
types of funds used.
Governmental Fund Types
General Fund – Used to account for all financial resources except those that are
required to be accounted for in another fund. The financial resources accounted for
in the General Fund may be used to fund any City program.
Special Revenue Funds – Used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are restricted by law or administrative action for specified purposes.
Capital Projects Funds – Used to account for financial resources used for the
construction of specific capital projects.
Permanent Funds – Used to account for resources legally restricted to the extent
that only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the
reporting government’s programs.
Proprietary Fund Types
Internal Service Funds – Used to centralize the accounting for purchases of
equipment, furniture and vehicles on behalf of all City departments, and the
accumulation of funds for replacement of certain buildings on behalf of the City.
Fiduciary Fund Type
Private-Purpose Trust Fund – Used to account for property tax revenue allocated
to the Successor Agency and payments of the obligations of the former
Redevelopment Agency.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Basis of Accounting/Measurement Focus
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The City’s Government-Wide Financial Statements include a “Statement of Net Position”
and a “Statement of Activities.” These two statements present a summary of
Governmental Activities for the City; and do not include fiduciary activities. These
statements are presented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of
resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources; including capital assets,
infrastructure, and long-term debt, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net
Position. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net position. Under the accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned,
while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The
Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function. Program revenue transactions for the City are
reported in three categories: 1) Charges for Services, 2) Operating Grants and
Contributions, and 3) Capital Grants and Contributions. Charges for Services include
revenues from customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from
goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function. Operating Grants and
Contributions include revenues restricted to meeting the requirements of a particular
operating function and may include state shared revenues and grants. Capital Grants
and Contributions include revenues restricted to meeting the requirements of a particular
capital function and may include grants and developer fees. Taxes and other items not
properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
As a general rule, the effect of inter-fund activity has been eliminated from the
Government-Wide Financial Statements.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements include a “Balance Sheet – Governmental
Funds” and “Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances –
Governmental Funds” for all major and other governmental funds. An accompanying
schedule is 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 reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the City, except those that are required to be accounted for in another fund.
The American Rescue Plan Act Special Revenue Fund is used to account for American
Rescue Plan Act assistance.
The Capital Improvement Capital Projects Fund is used to account for funds used for the
City’s capital improvement projects.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Basis of Accounting/Measurement Focus (Continued)
Governmental Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or “current financial resources”
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the “current
financial resources” measurement focus, generally only current assets, current liabilities
and deferred inflows are reported on the balance sheets. The Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances present increases (revenues and other
financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund
balances. Revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become
susceptible to accrual, that is, when they become both measurable and available to
finance expenditures of the current period. “Measurable” means that the amount of the
transaction can be determined, and “available” means collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period.
Accrued revenues include property taxes received within 60 days after year-end,
taxpayer-assessed taxes such as sales taxes, and earnings on investments. Grant funds
earned but not received are recorded as a receivable, and grant funds received before
the revenue recognition criteria have been met are reported as unearned revenues.
Expenditures are recorded when the fund liability is incurred, if measurable, except for
interest on general long-term debt that has not yet matured, which is recognized when
due.
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary fund types are accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement
focus and accrual basis of accounting. This means that all assets and liabilities (whether
current or noncurrent) associated with the activity are included on the balance sheet.
Fund equity is presented as total net position. The operating statement of proprietary
funds presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.
Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when the
liability is incurred.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating
items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and
producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing
operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s internal service fund are
charges for services. Operating expenses for the internal service fund include the costs
of services, employee benefits, maintenance of capital assets, and depreciation on
capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Basis of Accounting/Measurement Focus (Continued)
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
The City uses an internal service fund to finance and account for goods and services
provided by one City department to other City departments, including the purchase and
maintenance of equipment. The City’s internal service fund is presented in the
proprietary funds financial statements. Because the principal users of the internal
services are the City’s governmental activities, the financial statements of the internal
service fund are consolidated into the governmental activities column when presented in
the government-wide financial statements. To the extent possible, the cost of these
services is reported in the appropriate functional activity (administration, public safety,
public works, etc.).
Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
The fiduciary private-purpose trust fund type is accounted for using the economic
resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting similar to the proprietary
funds.
The City reports the following fiduciary fund.
The assets and liabilities of the former Redevelopment Agency were transferred to the
Successor Agency as part of the business of redevelopment dissolution. The Successor
Agency private-purpose trust fund accounts for the changes in the former
Redevelopment Agency’s assets and liabilities until they are disposed of through
dissolution. This fund also accounts for the administrative costs associated with
dissolution.
D. Budgetary Accounting
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for all governmental funds, except for the
Bikeways Special Revenue Fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end.
Budget control is maintained over all accounts, and expenditures are not allowed to
exceed appropriations at the department level. Throughout the year, the City Council
made several budgetary adjustments to the General fund, Special Revenue funds,
Capital Projects funds, and Permanent funds.
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation
Initiative), the City is restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from the
proceeds of taxes, and if proceeds of taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess
must either be refunded to the State Controller, returned to the taxpayers through
revised tax rates or revised fee schedules, or an excess in one year may be offset
against a deficit in the following year. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, based on
calculations by City Management, the proceeds of taxes in the amount of $24.3 million
did not exceed appropriation limit of $32.8 million.

E. Capital Assets
Capital assets include land, construction in progress, building and improvements,
vehicles, computer equipment, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and infrastructure
assets (street systems, storm drains, sewer systems, etc.). Capital assets are defined by
the City as all land and buildings, vehicles, computers, equipment, and right-to-use
assets with an initial individual cost of more than $5,000 and; and improvements and
infrastructure assets with construction costs of more than $100,000, that have an
estimated useful lif of more than one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or
estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated or annexed capital assets
are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation or annexation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Depreciation is recorded in the
Government-Wide Financial Statements on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the
assets as follows:
Buildings and Improvements 25 to 50 Years
Vehicles, Computers, and Equipment 3 to 10 Years
Right-to-use Assets:
Equipment 1 to 3 Years
Infrastructure Assets:
Roadway System 10 to 100 Years
Sewer System 25 to 50 Years
Storm Drain System 30 to 100 Years
Parks System 25 Years
F. Employee Compensated Absences
City employees may receive from 10 to 20 days of vacation time each year, depending
upon length of service. An employee may accumulate earned vacation time up to a
maximum of two years’ worth of accrued vacation leave. Upon termination, employees
are paid the full value of their unused vacation time at their existing salary.
City employees accrue 96 hours of sick leave each year with a maximum accrual of 720
hours. However, unused sick leave is never paid out to the employee upon separation;
and therefore, the City does not accrue a liability.
The General Fund will primarily be used to liquidate the liability for compensated
absences in future years. Any liability for compensated absences is only carried in the
General Fund if there is unused/unpaid leave outstanding following an employee’s
separation.

G. Investments
Investments are reported at fair value which is the amount at which financial instruments
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. All fair values are
determined by external consultants. Investments are measured at fair value on a
recurring basis. Recurring fair value measurements are those that Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements require or permit in the statement of
net position at the end of each reporting period.
H. Cash and Investments
The Equipment Replacement Internal Service Fund participates in the pooling of City-
wide cash and investments. Amounts from the pool are available to this fund on
demand. Therefore, the cash and investments reported in this fund is considered to be
cash and cash equivalents for purpose of the statement of cash flows.
I. Claims and Judgments
When it is probable that a claim liability has been incurred, 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. Small claims and judgments are recorded as
expenditures when paid.
The City’s self-insurance program is administered through the California Joint Powers
Authority (the CJPIA), which is described at Note 9. The CJPIA is a public entity risk
pool. The City records amounts deposited with CJPIA as insurance expenditures in the
General Fund.
J. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and
are recorded as prepaid items using the consumption method. In governmental funds,
the prepaid assets recorded do not reflect current appropriable resources and thus, an
equivalent portion of fund balance is reported as nonspendable.
K. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual
results could differ from those estimates.

L. Net Position and Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s
policy to use restricted resources first. When unrestricted resources (committed,
assigned or unassigned) are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use committed
resources first, assigned resources second and finally unassigned resources.
In the Government-Wide financial statements net position is classified in the following
categories:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – This category groups all capital assets, including
infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation on these
assets reduces this category as does any outstanding balance on debt incurred in
acquiring or constructing the capital assets.
Restricted Net Position – This category presents external restrictions imposed by
creditors, grantors, contributions or laws or regulations of other governments and
restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position – This category represents the difference between total net
position and the two categories noted above: Net Investment in Capital Assets and
Restricted Net Position.
The fund balances reported on the fund statements consist of the following categories:
Nonspendable – Amounts that are not in a spendable form (such as inventory and
prepaid expenditures) or are legally required to be maintained intact (such as the corpus
of an endowment fund).
Restricted – Amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as
grantors, bondholders, and higher levels of government), through constitutional
provisions, or by enabling legislation.
Committed – Amounts constrained to specific purposes by the City Council via a City
Council resolution or ordinance, which are considered to be equally binding. To be
reported as committed, amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City
Council adopts another resolution to remove or change the constraint.
Assigned – Amounts the City Council intends to use for a specific purpose, which is
expressed by the City Council via minute order.
Unassigned – Amounts that are available for any purpose; these amounts are reported
only in the General Fund. However, if there is a deficit fund balance to be reported in any
fund, it is classified as unassigned.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
M. Deferred Inflows and Outflows
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate
section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to
future periods and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for
reporting in this category:
Deferred outflows related to pensions equal to employer contributions made after
the measurement date of the net pension liability.
Deferred outflows related to pensions for differences between expected and
actual experiences. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to
the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are
provided with pensions through the plans.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and the governmental funds
balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources.
This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an
acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be recognized as an
inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify
for reporting in this category:
Deferred inflows from unavailable revenues, which are reported only in the
governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable
revenues from one source: grants. These amounts are deferred and recognized
as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
Deferred inflows from lease receivable is initially measured at the initial amount
of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the
lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is
recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
Deferred inflows related to pensions for changes in employer’s proportion and
differences between employer’s contributions and the employer’s proportionate
share of contributions. These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal
to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are
provided with pensions through the plans.
Deferred inflows related to pensions for the net differences between projected
and actual earnings on plan investments. These amounts are amortized over five
years.

N. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of
resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net
position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans
(Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose,
benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when
due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair
value.
O. New Accounting Pronouncements
GASB 87
In June 2017, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued GASB
Statement No. 87, Leases. This standard requires the recognition of certain lease assets
and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and as
inflows of resources or outflows of resources recognized based on the payment
provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on
the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying
asset. Under this standard, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an
intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease
receivable and a deferred inflow of resources. The Entity adopted the requirements of
the guidance effective July 1, 2021, and has applied the provisions of this standard to
the beginning of the period of adoption.

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect fair
value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, there is a
greater sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City manages its
exposure to interest rate risk by investing with the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
such that the portfolio provides cash flows and liquidity need for operations. The City’s
investment is represented by shares in the pool, which can be withdrawn in one business
day. The average maturity of the pool is less than one year.

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to
the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. The US. Treasury Obligations are not required to
be rated. The certificates of deposit, and LAIF are not rated. The money market funds and
Government Sponsored Agency Bonds are rated AAA and AA, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes contains no limitations on the
amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California
Government Code.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g.,
broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its
investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California
Government Code and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ investment policy do not contain
legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits
or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government
Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local
governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a
depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair
value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total
amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to
secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of
the secured public deposits.
The City’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits
were held in collateralized accounts, but not in the name of the City. The financial
institutions that held the uninsured deposits are legally required by the California
Government Code to collateralize the City’s deposits as noted above.

Investment in Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is a voluntary participant in LAIF that is regulated by
California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the
State of California. The fair value of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ investment in this pool
is based upon the City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ pro-rata share of the fair value provided by
LAIF for the entire pool portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The
balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF,
which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
LAIF is a governmental investment pool managed and directed by the Treasurer of the State
of California and is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. An
oversight committee comprised of California State officials and various other participants
provides oversight to the management of the fund. The daily operations and responsibilities
of LAIF fall under the auspices of the State Treasurer’s office.
Fair Value Classifications
The City categorized its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established
by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs
used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets in active
markets, Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The fair value of the City’s investments in U. S. Treasury Obligations and Government
Sponsored Agency Bonds are based on Level 2 inputs. The City’s investments in FDIC-
insured certificates of deposits, money market funds and LAIF are not subject to the fair
value hierarchy.

Affordable Housing
In March 2009, the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) entered into a Disposition and
Development Agreement (DDA) with AMCAL Mirandela Fund LP (AMCAL). Under the DDA,
the former RDA provided financial assistance to AMCAL in an amount up to $6,790,000 to
develop a thirty-four unit senior housing project. The loan accrues simple interest at a rate of
3% per annum on the amounts disbursed. The note is due December 22, 2065. The balance
of note receivable from AMCAL including accrued unpaid interest of $2,058,807 at June 30,
2022 was $8,517,467.
In March 2011, the former RDA sold an affordable housing condominium to an individual for
$350,000. In connection with the sale, the buyer issued a secured promissory note in the
amount of $126,320. The note bears no interest and principal is payable upon default by the
owner (or any successors’ owner) under a regulatory agreement that requires the
condominium to be occupied by person or families of moderate income. If no such default
has occurred by February 22, 2056, the principal will be forgiven. Due to the nature of this
loan, the outstanding balance has been offset in full by an allowance for uncollectability.

Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living
adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and
beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full-time
employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with
statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for nonduty disability benefits after 10
years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: The Basic Death Benefit, the
1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living
adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement
Law.
The Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) requires new benefits and
member contributions for new members as defined by PEPRA, that are hired after
January 1, 2013. These PEPRA members in pooled plans are reflected in the new
Miscellaneous and Safety risk pools created by the CalPERS Board in response to the
passage of PEPRA, beginning with the June 30, 2013, risk-pool valuations.
The Plan’s provisions and benefits in effect for the year ended June 30, 2022, are

Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that
the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis
by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate.
The total plan contributions are determined through CALPERS’ annual actuarial valuation
process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the
costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance
any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the
actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. City contribution rates
may change if plan contracts are amended. Payments made by the employer to satisfy
contribution requirements that are identified by the pension plan terms as plan member
contributions requirements are classified as plan member contributions. For the year ended
June 30, 2022, the City made contributions totaling of $ 1,583,725.

Subsequent Events
On July 12, 2021, CalPERS reported a preliminary 21.3% net return on investments for
fiscal year 2020-21. Based on the thresholds specified in CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation
policy, the excess return of 14.3% prescribes a reduction in investment volatility that
corresponds to a reduction in the discount rate used for funding purposes of 0.20%, from
7.00% to 6.80%. Since CalPERS was in the final stages of the four-year Asset Liability
Management (ALM) cycle, the board elected to defer any changes to the asset allocation
until the ALM process concluded, and the board could make its final decision on the asset
allocation in November 2021.
On November 17, 2021, the board adopted a new strategic asset allocation. The new asset
allocation along with the new capital market assumptions, economic assumptions and
administrative expense assumption support a discount rate of 6.90% (net of investment
expense but without a reduction for administrative expense) for financial reporting purposes.
This includes a reduction in the price inflation assumption from 2.50% to 2.30% as
recommended in the November 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial
Assumptions. This study also recommended modifications to retirement rates, termination
rates, mortality rates and rates of salary increases that were adopted by the board. These
new assumptions will be reflected in the GASB 68 accounting valuation reports for the
June 30, 2022, measurement date.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short
term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash
flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes expected compound (geometric)
returns were calculated over the short term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years)
using a building block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short term and
long term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of
return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return that arrived at
the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-
term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the single
equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed administrative
expenses.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan
members will be made at the current 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.

At June 30, 2022, the City had no outstanding amount of contributions to the pension plan
required for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Retirement Health Savings Plan
On November 17, 2009, the City approved the establishment of a defined contribution
Retirement Health Savings Plan (the Plan) for its full-time employees. The Plan is a Health
Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) within Sections 105 and 106 of the Internal Revenue
Code. The Plan assets are managed in a nontaxable trust as described in Section 501 (c)(9)
of the Internal Revenue Code. The City is the Plan Administrator, and utilizes the services of
a contracted financial services provider for day-to-day administration of contributions and
disbursements. The City has the authority to amend the Plan’s provisions and contribution
requirements.
The City has no obligation to make contributions to the Plan, but as part of the annual
budget process the City may elect to make contributions to the Plan. Employees are
required to contribute 1% of their gross wages to their account, which is owned by the
employee. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City employees contributed
$55,604 and the City contributed $90,170 to employee accounts.
The Plan assets are not an asset of the City. Therefore, only the City’s expense to make
contributions to the Plan has been recorded in the General Fund in the City’s financial
statements.

Primary Self-Insurance Programs of the CJPIA
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. A
retrospective adjustment is then conducted annually thereafter, for coverage years 2012-13
and prior. Coverage years 2013-14 and forward are not subject to routine annual
retrospective adjustment. 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.
Primary Liability Program
Claims are pooled separately between police and general government exposures. (1) The
payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable
credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to
payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses
includes incurred costs up to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a
percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of
losses includes incurred costs from $100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is
evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer.
(4) Incurred costs from $500,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of
cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million
per occurrence. Subsidence losses also have a $50 million per occurrence limit. The
coverage structure is composed of a combination of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and
excess insurance. Additional information concerning the coverage is available on the
following website: https://cjpia.org/coverage/risk-sharing-pools/.
Primary Workers’ Compensation Program
Claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and general
government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll
of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which
establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula.
(2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $75,000 for each occurrence and is
evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The
second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $75,000 to $200,000 for each
occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the
second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $200,000 to statutory limits are distributed based on
the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
For 2021-2022, the Authority’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.

Consolidated Loan from City
The City entered into an agreement to provide the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA)
operating funds and staff assistance, supplies, technical and other services and facilities of
the City as the RDA required in carrying out its function under the community redevelopment
law. The former RDA was to repay the resulting indebtedness, plus interest, from
incremental property tax revenues arising from the project area, as such revenue became
available. Pursuant to redevelopment dissolution law, loans from cities to redevelopment
agencies made more than two years after formation of the redevelopment agency are not
recognized obligations. Therefore, the Consolidated Loan from the City has been previously
disallowed on the Successor Agency’s Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS).
However, AB1484 provides a method to secure recognition of the City’s Consolidated Loan
as an obligation of the Successor Agency. Upon completion of various independent reviews
and transfers of funds to Los Angeles County, the Successor Agency received a “Finding of
Completion” on April 26, 2013. On December 11, 2013, the Oversight Board made a finding
that the Consolidated Loan from the City was made for legitimate redevelopment purposes.
As required by dissolution law, twenty percent of the amount available will be deposited into
the City’s Low-Moderate Income Housing Fund.
On September 22, 2015, Governor Brown signed legislation that became effective
immediately. The legislation requires accrued interest on city loans to be recalculated using
a simple interest rate of 3%. Previously, accrued interest on the City’s loan was calculated
using historical Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) rates. At June 30, 2022, using the
simple interest rate of 3%, the loan balance is $10,540,023.

NOTE 15 SUCCESSOR AGENCY (CONTINUED)
Tax Increment Bond and Deferred Interest Payable (Continued)
As stipulated by the parties to the Agreement, a portion of the Loan proceeds was used to
repay a tax allocation and revenue anticipation promissory note issued to the County in the
principal amount of $1,450,000, plus accrued interest equal to $179,244. A second portion
of the proceeds was used to repay expenses advanced by the County in the amount of
$135,614. A third portion was used to repay certain loans from the City to the former
Redevelopment Agency in the amount of $787,340.
Per the terms of the Agreement, $1,000,000 of the proceeds was deposited in the Abalone
Cove Permanent Fund of the Joint Powers Improvement Authority. The remainder of the
proceeds were accounted for in the former Redevelopment Agency’s Abalone Cove Fund.
Concurrent with the execution of the Agreement, the County deeded its title in the Abalone
Cove Beach Park to the former Redevelopment Agency.
As part of the Agreement, the former Redevelopment Agency was required to transfer 17%
of tax increment revenue to the Consolidated Fire Protection District of the County and
50.9% of tax increment revenue for debt repayment to the County. In accordance with the
Agreement, the former Redevelopment Agency was to pay the Loan principal plus interest
at 7.7654% over a 30-year period that began in 1992. However, these debt payments were
to be deferred 10 years until the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.
As part of the deferral arrangement, the accrued interest from the inception of the Loan
through June 30, 2002, in the amount of $7,314,944, was scheduled for payment over a 20-
year period beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 with no additional interest. The
remaining balance of $10,274,119 was scheduled for payment to the County over a 20-year
period beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, with interest at 7.7654%.
On November 1, 1997, the City, the former Redevelopment Agency and the County of Los
Angeles entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to restructure the
repayment schedule of the debt owed to the County by the former Redevelopment Agency.
In accordance with the terms of the MOU, the $10,000,000 loan principal owed to the
County was cancelled. As consideration for the loan cancellation, the former
Redevelopment Agency made a lump sum payment to the County in the amount of
$4,545,000 and issued a $5,455,000 tax increment bond to the County (the bond). Of the
$4,545,000 lump sum payment, $2,000,000 was paid from tax increment revenue and
interest earnings accumulated in the Debt Service Fund. The remaining $2,545,000 was
funded by a combination of a loan from the General Fund of the City to the Agency for
$1,545,000 and a net operating transfer from the Agency’s Abalone Cove Capital Projects
Fund to the Debt Service Fund of $1,000,000. The private property liens resulting from the
formation of the bond assessment district in connection with the Reimbursement and
Settlement Agreement in 1987 were discharged in accordance with the terms of the MOU.

NOTE 15 SUCCESSOR AGENCY (CONTINUED)
Tax Increment Bond and Deferred Interest Payable (Continued)
The bond was issued as a conduit through the Improvement Authority to the County. No
issuance costs were incurred. Future allocations of property tax to the Successor Agency
will fund the payment of the bond debt and the deferred interest from the original Loan until
paid in full. The principal of the bond began maturing in installments each December 2nd,
commencing December 2, 2004. Interest accrues at a rate of 5% per annum and is payable
in arrears each June 2nd and December 2nd.
Additionally, both the accrued interest and deferred interest on the $10,000,000 Loan
previously owed the County was retroactively recalculated from the Loan origination date at
a rate of approximately 5% compared to 7.7654% per the original Agreement. The
recalculated deferred interest was $3,111,400. In accordance with the MOU, the
recalculated deferred interest does not accrue additional interest. As of June 30, 2014, the
balance of the deferred interest debt has been completely repaid.
The California Department of Finance has approved the Tax Increment Bond and Deferred
Interest Payable as obligations of the Successor Agency.
The debt service schedule below summarizes all fixed principal and interest payments for
the term of the bond. Because the payback period for the deferred interest amount will
fluctuate depending on the availability of excess property tax revenue, no amounts have
been included in the following schedule for repayment of the deferred interest.

City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Rancho Palos Verdes, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes City as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2022, and have issued our report thereon dated April 10, 2023. We have previously
communicated to you information about our responsibilities under auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America, Government Auditing Standards, and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), as well as certain information related to the planned scope and
timing of our audit in our statement of work dated October 3, 2022. Professional standards also require
that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant audit findings or issues
Qualitative aspects of accounting practices
Accounting policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes City are described in Note 1 to the financial
statements.
As described in Note 1O, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes changed accounting policies related to leases
by adopting Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases, effective
July 1, 2021. Accordingly, the accounting change has been applied to the beginning of the period of
adoption.
We noted no transactions entered into by the entity during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus. All significant transactions, including the new $8,000,000 loan payable described
in Note 7, have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions
about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance
to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial statements was:
The annual required contributions, pension expense, net pension liability and corresponding
deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for the City’s public defined
benefit plans are based on actuarial valuations provided by CalPERS and by a third-party actuary.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the allowance in determining that it is
reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Financial statement disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statement users. The most sensitive disclosure affecting the financial statements was reported in Note 9
related to the City’s defined benefit pension plan.
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.
Uncorrected misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than
those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Management has determined that the effect of the uncorrected misstatements are immaterial, both
individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. The following summarizes
the uncorrected misstatements of the financial statements:
To restate the beginning fund balance/net position for prior year gas tax revenues of $105,441
recognized in the current year.
To restate the beginning fund balance/net position for prior year fair value adjustment of $72,102
that was not recognized.
Uncorrected misstatements or the matters underlying uncorrected misstatements could potentially cause
future-period financial statements to be materially misstated, even if management has concluded that the
uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial statements under audit.
Corrected misstatements
Management did not identify and we did not notify them of any financial statement misstatements
detected as a result of audit procedures.
Disagreements with management
For purposes of this communication, a disagreement with management is a disagreement on a financial
accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be
significant to the financial statements or the auditors’ report. No such disagreements arose during our
audit.
Circumstances that affect the form and content of the auditors’ report
As previously communicated to you, the report was modified to include an emphasis of a matter to direct
readers to Note 1O to the financial statements regarding adoption of new accounting guidance,
Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB Statement) No. 87, Leases.

Management representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated April 10, 2023.
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 entity’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors’
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.
Significant issues discussed with management prior to engagement
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to engagement as the entity’s auditors. However, these
discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a
condition to our engagement.
Required supplementary information
With respect to the required supplementary information (RSI) accompanying the financial statements, we
made certain inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the RSI, including whether the
RSI has been measured and presented in accordance with prescribed guidelines, whether the methods
of measurement and preparation have been changed from the prior period and the reasons for any such
changes, and whether there were any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the
measurement or presentation of the RSI. We compared the RSI for consistency with management’s
responses to the foregoing inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge obtained during
the audit of the basic financial statements. Because these limited procedures do not provide sufficient
evidence, we did not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
Supplementary information in relation to the financial statements as a whole
With respect to the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) accompanying the financial
statements, on which we were engaged to report in relation to the financial statements as a whole, we
made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the
SEFA to determine that the SEFA complies with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance, the method
of preparing it has not changed from the prior period or the reasons for such changes, and the SEFA is
appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled
the SEFA to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves. We have issued our report thereon dated April 10, 2023.
With respect to the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules
(collectively, the supplementary information) accompanying the financial statements, on which we were
engaged to report in relation to the financial statements as a whole, 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 or the reasons for such
changes, 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 have
issued our report thereon dated April 10, 2023.
Other information included in annual reports
Other information (financial or nonfinancial information other than the financial statements and our
auditors’ report thereon) is being included in your annual report and is comprised of the introductory and
statistical sections. Our responsibility for other information included in your annual report does not extend
beyond the financial information identified in our opinion on the financial statements. We have no
responsibility for determining whether such other information is properly stated and do not have an
obligation to perform any procedures to corroborate other information contained in your annual report.
We are required by professional standards to read the other information included in your annual report
and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial
statements because the credibility of the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon may be
undermined by material inconsistencies between the audited financial statements and other information.
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. Our auditors’ report on the financial
statements includes a separate section, “Other Information,” which states we do not express an opinion
or any form of assurance on the other information included in the annual report. We did not identify any
material inconsistencies between the other information and the audited financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
City Council Members
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Rancho Palos Verdes, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ basic financial statements, and have
issued our report thereon dated April 10, 2023.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes’ 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 of
Rancho Palos Verdes’ internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness
of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ 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.
C-1
City Council Members
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ 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.
