Background The adopted Public Works Department, Street Operations Division budget for FY 2023-24 included planned capital expenditures for the purchase of one new 2024 Ford Super Duty F-350 DRW to meet the operational needs of the Street Division. The purchase of the new vehicle will provide Public Works staff with the transportation necessary to continue to promptly execute daily work responsibilities and effectively meet the needs of the City.

Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.110(A)(5), the purchase of the proposed vehicle is exempt from competitive bidding and competitive selection, as Sourcewell is a public agency and service cooperative through which contracts are awarded by a competitive process. Staff recommends approval of one new 2024 Ford Super Duty F-350 DRW through National Auto Feet Group. It is to the advantage of the City to procure vehicles from the selected vendor since Sourcewell provides members with the lowest price available.

Recommendation A. Approve the issuance of a Purchase Order with D&R Office Works, Inc. for the purchase of chairs and workspaces for the Police Department, for a total amount not-to-exceed $21,679; and B. Authorize a contingency amount of 8%, or $1,735 for unforeseen price increases or substitutions due to inventory availability, and grant authority to the City Administrator to issue Change Orders for an amount up to the contingency amount, if necessary. Background The Vernon Police Department (PD) is in the process of replacing cabinetry and workspaces in the Evidence Room and chairs throughout the Department. The plan includes storage space and cabinetry in the evidence-processing areas, which have not been furnished in nearly twenty (20) years. The chairs to be replaced have been in use for over ten (10) years. Staff is working with D&R Office Works, Inc. (D&R) to purchase twenty-eight (28) commercial-grade chairs for existing workspaces. D&R has given a six-week window to deliver and install the new furniture. As a registered participant of OMNIA Partners, a cooperative purchasing organization, the proposed purchase from D&R is exempt from competitive bidding requirements pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.110(A)(5b), which exempts, “Contracts for supplies, equipment or services that can be purchased in cooperation with other public agencies, associations or when supplies, equipment or services can be purchased from a vendor offering the same prices, terms and conditions as in a previous award from the City or another public agency either by competitive bid or through a negotiated process and, in the opinion of the Finance Director, it is to the advantage of the City to do so.” OMNIA Partners provides competitively solicited cooperative purchasing contracts that comply with the City’s purchasing requirements. Per VMC 3.32.030(B), City Council approval is required if, in the twelve (12) months preceding the effective date of a proposed new, renewed, or otherwise amended contract, the City has paid or awarded the vendor more than $100,000. Within the past twelve (12) months, the City has paid or awarded D&R a total of approximately $88,834 in contracts.

Crowley Company Recommendation A. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because installation of monitoring equipment consists of minor alteration of existing structures/facilities and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use; B. Accept the bid from Charles P. Crowley Company as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and reject all other bids; and C. Approve and authorize the issuance of a purchase order with Charles P. Crowley Company for the procurement of turbidity monitoring equipment, for a total amount not-to-exceed $106,228.14. Background Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) owns and operates seven active groundwater wells aged 22 to 70 years old. Due to age and water chemistry, well casings degrade and can develop holes which may allow silt, sand, or gravel to escape and be pumped out of the well. This kind of damage can get progressively worse, allowing more silt, sand, or gravel to pass through the well casing and increasing the turbidity (measure of relative clarity) of the water. Turbidity sensors enable continuous monitoring of water running through a pipe, indicating any silt or sand outside normal water quality limits. Staff proposes to procure six turbidity and suspended solid sensors for installation on six of its seven active wells. The remaining well is a low producer that VPU is considering placing on inactive status. Turbidity or suspended solids detected above set water quality limits would result in the facility being turned off for evaluation, which prevents or mitigates potential water quality issues. This equipment is crucial to the longevity and reliability of VPU’s wells. This equipment could also prevent catastrophic failure of a well via continuous monitoring and indication of any potential water quality issues. In accordance with Vernon Municipal Code Section 3.32.070, on October 12, 2023, staff issued a Notice Inviting Bids (NIB) for Turbidity Monitoring Equipment. The NIB was published in the local newspaper, the Huntington Park Bulletin, and advertised on the City's Planet Bids platform. Three bid packages were received by the October 26, 2023 deadline. However, two bids were deemed to be non-responsive as they did not follow the bidding requirements outlined in the NIB. Staff reviewed the bid received from Charles P. Crowley Company (Crowley) and deemed it a responsive and responsible bid. Staff recommends the City Council approve a Purchase Order with Crowley in the amount of $106,228.14, which includes estimated taxes and freight, for the procurement of turbidity monitoring equipment. .  .  Item 10 Page 1 of 2 Fiscal Impact Approval of this action would require an appropriation $106,228.14 for the procurement of the turbidity monitoring equipment in Water Fund, Capital Outlay, Account No. 058-070-700-660000 from available Water Fund Unassigned Fund Balance.

Greater Accuracy, Less Maintenance Hach Solitax sc sensors provide accurate, color - independent measurement of turbidity and suspended solicJs in dr~in{<ing water, wastewater and industrial process applications. Aself-cleaning device prevents biological growth and interference of gas b~~bbles. This system's reliable performance and full data communication capability help improve process control and reduce treatment costs associated with poly~r~er use, digester volume, and sludge handling. Excellent Correlation to Laboratory Analysis Solitax sc sensors show an exceptional correlation to laboratory analysis. On-line measurement not only saves time on ~~anua(analysis, but also provides critical real-time measurements that can be used to operate the plant more efficiently. Fully Serviceable Sensors Conventional turbidity and suspended solids sensors are potted and are discarded when they no longer function. Solitax sc sensors are fully serviceable, which often doubles the useful life of the sensor.

Receive and file the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Annual Financial Statements; and B. Extend submittal of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Final Audit and Report to Council to January 21, 2025. Background Audits are to be performed in accordance with the standards set forth for the financial audits by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), in the General Accounting Office (GOA). In addition, City Charter Article VIII, Chapter 8.11 requires City Council to appoint a California certified public accounting firm to provide an independent, annual audit of all City accounts, including the accounts of all departments, officers and employees who receive, handle or disburse public funds. The Charter also requires the final audit to be submitted to Council 120 days after the end of the fiscal year but allows Council to extend this deadline. Accordingly, on January 16, 2024 the City Council extended the deadline for submittal of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Final Audit and Report to Council to February 20, 2024. The FY 2022-23 audit was completed by the City’s independent auditors, The Pun Group LLP, Certified Public Accountants and Business Advisors, which issued an unmodified opinion, otherwise known as a ”clean opinion” finding nothing of material concern in the City’s internal controls, financial and bookkeeping practices. The independent auditor’s unmodified report provides assurance that the financial statements, and the audited information within, present the City’s financial position fairly to City Council, residents, current and future businesses, grant entities, creditors, bond investors, rating agencies and other interested parties for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. Representatives from The Pun Group LLP will provide a presentation on the results of the FY 2022-23 audit. As noted above, Charter Chapter 8.11 requires the final audit to be submitted to Council within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year. With the City’s fiscal year ending on June 30, FY 2023- 24 audited financial statements would need to be submitted to Council by late October 2024. However, 120 days after the end of the fiscal year (June 30) is not feasible as it can take several months to receive all documents from outside contractors and vendors to accrue all expenditures related to the prior year, finalize journal entries, reconciliations and for the auditors to complete their audit and produce the final audited financial reports. Additionally, industry best practice is 18 months after a budget is adopted, which places finalization of the audited financial reports by end of the calendar year and presentation to Council soon after. As such, staff is seeking an extension for submission of the final audit and report to Council for FY 2023-24 Annual Financial Statements to January 21, 2025. Pursuant to Charter Chapter 8.11, the City Council may extend the deadline for submission of audited financial statements beyond 120 days after the end of the fiscal year. .  .  Item 11 Page 1 of 2 Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council, residents, general public, and interested parties with a broad financial outlook of the City, as measured by the financial activity and operational achievements of its various funds. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness, and fairness of the presentation, including disclosures, rests with the City’s management. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner that fairly represents the financial position and operation results. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, there are no untrue statements or omissions of material fact within the financial statements. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain a maximum understanding of the City’s financial activities have been included. The City is required to issue annually a report on its financial position and activity, and that an independent firm of certified public accountants audit the report. As such, the ACFR is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and using the guidelines set forth by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB). This year’s audit was completed by The Pun Group LLP, Certified Public Accountants and Business Advisors and an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 was issued. The independent auditor’s report is found at the front section of the financial section of the ACFR. Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and provides a narrative overview and analysis of the basic financial statements. This letter is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with this transmittal letter. City of Vernon Profile The City of Vernon is one of the few full-service cities in California with much to offer. Since it was founded in 1905, Vernon has maintained a business-friendly environment, thus allowing the City to remain one of Southern California’s prime location for industry of all types. Within its 5.2 square mile boundary, Vernon houses more than 1,800 businesses that employ approximately 55,000 people from nearby communities throughout the Greater Los Angeles Area. These include food and agriculture, apparel, steel, plastics, logistics, home furnishing companies and soon to add a new data center serving as a vital economic engine in the region. Vernon is a charter city and operates under the Council-Manager form of government. The five-member City Council is elected at-large to serve 5-year terms. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem position is rotated annually among Council Member in order of election. The City Council .  .  Item 11 Page 5 of 126 Page 2 of 7 is the legislative authority of the City and sets the policies under which the City operates. The City Council provides leadership through policy development regarding the current practices and future direction of the City. The City Council appoints the City Administrator and the City Attorney, as well as members of the City’s commissions. The City Administrator is responsible for overseeing City employees who implement all of the City's programs, services, and projects. Vernon is a prime location for businesses as it’s located just south of downtown Los Angeles, close to LAX, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and in close proximity to access major transportation hubs. The City provides a one-stop-shop for land use services with expedient in- house plan reviews and permitting, integrated fire inspections and health department approvals, and an unmatched suite of quality utility services to fulfill all business needs. Additionally, the City continues to make strides in developing its community relationships. With seasonal community outreach events, it is connecting with Vernon residents and those residents in neighboring communities in the southeast region. The City has begun circulating a Resident Newsletter and is also active on its social media platforms, focusing on dissemination of information that is relevant to the community, ensuring that its population is well-informed on City matters. By forging these connections with community members, the City is confident that the bi-directional conversations that result will allow it to better serve the needs of its constituents. Local Economy While the California economy has effectively recovered from the pandemic recession of 2020 in most business sectors, however, there are still signs of stress in the overall economic outlook. Global economies continue to grapple with high inflation, rising interest rates putting pressure on the housing market, car sales and other parts of the economy, the risk of new COVID variants, and the war in Ukraine continue to have a global economic effect. A mix of economic forecasts believe that the longer inflation persists and the higher the Federal Reserve increases interest rates in response, the greater the risk to the overall economy. Inflation continues to be one of the most challenging obstacles global economies have attempted to overcome. The Fed has taken an aggressive stance in combating inflation by raising the federal funds target rate from 0.25% in March 2022 to 5.5% in October 2023, its highest level in 22 years. The inflation rate met a 40-year high of 9.1% in 2022 but has tapered off to 3.7% in September 2023 and is still higher in comparison to the Federal Reserve’s target of 2% inflation rate for the US economy. Furthermore, these actions have also impacted the housing market, which experienced a continued high growth rate (10%) through early 2022 tapering off as mortgage interest rates increase reaching 7.79% in October 2023, a two-decade high. With the number of home sales declining and the median home price increasing, many economists are mixed about the housing market outlook and continue to watch this closely. Even despite these headwinds, the US GDP rose to a robust 4.9% annualized pace for the third quarter ending September 30, 2023, buoyed by low unemployment and solid consumer spending, however, this report could give the Federal Reserve some impetus to keep interest rates high which may begin to negatively impact consumer and business spending habits bringing the economy to a precipice slowdown. UCLA Anderson Forecast foresees a weak US Economy in 2024, followed by a return to trend growth rates, albeit below trend GDP levels, in 2025. .  .  Item 11 Page 6 of 126 Page 3 of 7 California’s economy remains stable despite the pressure from more than two years of higher than usual inflation and the jump in interest rates. Between January 2020 (just before COVID) and June 2023 prices increased by approximately 17% with food, beverages and energy and gasoline prices rising well above this. California’s severe housing shortage coupled with high interest rates are driving home prices higher as well. As of September 2023, the State’s unemployment rate is currently 4.7%, the second highest of any state. Job growth within California also appears to be slowing, partly due to the State’s labor shortage, negative population growth, and high housing costs. If these conditions continue to persist, this may further impede the State’s long-term economic growth by causing consumers to make tradeoffs in household spending budgets. Also, the State of California continues to grapple with State budget deficits leaving uncertainty how the State Legislature plans to balance its budget and the possible impacts to local municipalities. Although there are many variables driving the local economy, most economic forecasts are predicting limited growth in the following years ahead mainly due to inflation and higher interest rates. The relative health of the City’s finances can be attributed to five (5) successive fiscal years of focused attention on improving the alignment of ongoing expenditures with ongoing revenues. While the City has enjoyed positive financial health in the recent past, it is essential to implement all available measures to safeguard against potential economic downturns that could impinge upon the City’s primary revenue sources: sales, parcel, and utility users tax. Given the ongoing national economic challenges, including continuing inflation, constrained supply in the goods, services, and labor markets, more stringent Federal monetary policies, and market volatility, the City must proactively enhance revenues and improve operational efficiency to prevent impact from future slowdowns in the economy. The City’s annual obligated costs, such as contract costs, insurance, pension obligations, and unfunded mandates, continue to rise over time and compete against other budget priorities. The largest obligated costs include pensions costs related to the CalPERS Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL). The UAL mainly fluctuates as a result of investment returns and changes in the discount rate. CalPERS recently announced a gain of 5.8% for FY 2022-23, which is balanced by the prior year’s loss of 7%. When factoring in CalPERS’ discount rate of 6.8% and the 2022-23 preliminary return of 5.8%, the estimated funded status now stands at 72%. The recent gain and loss, change in the discount rate, and assumption changes have led to variable funding status, which directly impact the City’s pension costs and overall budget strategies; the City will continue to monitor this issue closely. The City has also embarked on several key studies that may affect future budgetary planning. In August 2023, the City Council approved VPU’s long-term rate strategy, which included reasonable electric growth estimates, reinforced our commitment to competitive base rates, a stable Energy Cost Adjustment Billing Factor, and the development of a comprehensive Financial Reserves Policy that supports financial stability, ensuring that we can navigate future challenges and make necessary investments while continuing to provide reliable and affordable services. The City is currently conducting a comprehensive fee study to review the City’s overall user and regulatory fee structure, basis of fees, and cost recovery. The study is expected to be completed by early 2024 in time for the next annual budget cycle and any approved changes will be incorporated in the next budget. .  .  Item 11 Page 7 of 126 Page 4 of 7 FY 2023-24 Operating Budget The budget reflects tempered optimism, the current global and local economies continue to face new and ongoing challenges that lead us to reevaluate spending strategies, The City’s future economic health will be dependent on growing and maintaining healthy reserves through fiscally conservative budgets and polices, planning for economic opportunities, and maintaining its strong financial position through prudent, long-range policy decisions and sound fiscal management. The City will continue to monitor key economic indicators, sources of revenue, and spending levels as part of its sound, conservative fiscal approach. The City will continue to build on the successes and achievements realized in the current year and remains committed to serving its customers. The City’s main revenue sources consisting of sales and use taxes, parcel taxes and utility users taxes have all sustained steady growth this year despite the current financial woes. As the City moves into fiscal year (FY) 2023-24, we are optimistic about continued growth but applied conservative budgeting principles during the budget development process based on analysis of historical performance and trends, as well as industry, economist, and new reports. The City will continue to monitor key economic indicators, sources of revenue, and spending levels as part of its sound, conservative fiscal approach. Long Term Financial Planning Under the direction of the Mayor and City Council, City management identifies the priorities that shape the path leading into the City’s future. City initiatives are reevaluated regularly, and new goals are frequently vetted to ensure that City efforts are consistent with the priorities of our policy body and the community. The City strives each year to better fulfill its mission of delivering outstanding municipal services that are responsive, comprehensive, and beneficial to the entire community by continuing its tradition of fostering innovation, ingenuity, and opportunity within its operations. City staff remains focused on actions that achieve the primary goals of tending to the public’s needs, building neighborhood connections, and governing for results that strengthen our community. The City’s dedication to improvement and modernization has created an environment where City of Vernon residents and businesses are dialed in and able to collaborate with staff, voice their concerns, and have access to a plethora of information on the City and their chosen topic(s) of interest. As these relationships flourish, businesses, and residents alike are able to enjoy all that Vernon has to offer while also participating in guiding Vernon down its path into the future. 1.Vernon is very committed to meeting its debt service coverages. In order to address the budget deficit historically present in the General Fund, the City placed on the ballot a measure to increase the Utility Users Tax from 1% to 6% which passed in April 2019. The passage of this measure will effectively eliminate operating transfers from its enterprise activities to the General Fund. To minimize the burden on the business community, an equivalent discount has been provided to Vernon’s electric, gas, water, and fiber optics utility customers. .  .  Item 11 Page 8 of 126 Page 5 of 7 2.Vernon has the capacity to expand its services as new businesses emerge and as existing businesses flourish and expand. An attractive, business friendly approach is extended to customers in the form of discounts that are available for large electricity consumers. Revenue sharing mechanisms have also been implemented to help stimulate both growth and retention. The City’s Good Governance and Reform initiatives provide a tangible demonstration of the overarching commitment to sound governance and best business practices. 3.Based upon the City’s electric debt service schedule, there will be a significant reduction in debt service starting in FY 2028-29. With input from business and residential communities, the City continues to evaluate its position and initiatives to ensure that electric rates remain competitive and that infrastructure needs are being addressed. 4.The inherent governance challenges in the City, due to a very small residential population, continues to be addressed by its residents, businesses, Chamber of Commerce, and City Council. Over the past 5 years, the public has become much more engaged in the political process and continues to keep a watchful eye on all important issues facing the City. The disincorporation controversy raised by assembly bill 46 in 2011 has been addressed with the whole-hearted adoption of key reforms and comprehensive implementation of best practices in all City operations. 5.The State of California Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC) is no longer pursuing the disincorporation of the City. Vernon has addressed all outstanding JLAC recommendations effective July 2018. Emphatically committed to good governance and transparency, the City is proud of its success in satisfying each reform that JLAC recommended. As a result, the City moves forward with clear, concise, and comprehensive policies and procedures that uphold best practices. 6.The shutdown of the Exide recycled battery plant operation has been and will continue to be under State of California oversight. The Department of Toxic Substances Control is completely responsible for monitoring the site and all related cleanup on a continual basis. The State of California has established funding for the Exide plant cleanup effort collected through a fee on each battery recycled along with any restitution from Exide which remains a global company. There is no direct impact on City operations and Exide does not pose a concern to existing Vernon businesses. 7.Vernon’s electric rates remain competitive, and in many cases, lower than adjacent municipal and investor-owned utilities. However, in many respects, Vernon’s electric utility services continue to outperform its neighboring peers thanks to a higher reliability rating and greater customer satisfaction. In fact, VPU is a three-time recipient of the RP3 Diamond Level Award, the highest reliability award from APPA, which reflects our continued investment in utility infrastructure and commitment to safety and workforce development. 8.Since the purchase of Malburg Generating Station (MGS), Vernon Public Utilities optimizes the operating profile for operational savings and continued coordination with the CAISO to prevent statewide rolling blackouts and requests to run MGS when energy is needed most across the electric grid..  .  Item 11 Page 9 of 126 Page 6 of 7 9. Over the last several years, the City has pursued a clean commerce growth strategy. In June 2024, a new data center is scheduled to commence commercial operations in Vernon, bringing high-demand energy needs, reducing traffic congestion and vehicle emissions, and replacing legacy customers who have relocated their operations. At full capacity, the data center demand is estimated to be 33 MW of continually connected load in Fiscal Year 2025-26. Our pre-planned commitment to provide capital improvement investments of critical infrastructure in our transmission and distribution networks has been key to meeting the operational needs of this new industry in Vernon. VPU and the City have the unique ability to get these new development projects to market in the shortest time possible. Financial and Internal Controls Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control designed to ensure that the assets of the government are protected from loss, theft, or misuse, and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control 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 judgments by management. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. As a result, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report. Management asserts that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. Single Audit The City is legally required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Uniform Guidance, Audits of State and Local Governments, if total federal grant expenditures exceed $750,000 in a single year. Throughout the course of FY 2022-23, the City did not expend federal funds in excess of the $750,000 threshold, and therefore the City is not subject to Single Audit requirements. Budgetary Controls The City maintains budgetary controls, the objective of which is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Activities of all governmental funds and proprietary funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. The level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the departmental level. .  .  Item 11 Page 10 of 126 Page 7 of 7 Spending Limitation Management foresees no problem for several years in complying with the spending limitation under the Gann Initiative passed by the California voters in 1979, which created Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. The City's independent auditors have attested to the accuracy of the computation of the spending limitations for the current period, which indicated that the City’s tax proceeds are substantially under the established Gann Limit and are not expected to reach that limit in the foreseeable future. Independent Audit The City requires an annual audit by independent certified public accountants, the auditing firm The Pun Group LLC, was selected to audit the City’s accounting records. The auditor’s report on the basic financial statements, combined and individual fund statements, and schedules is included in the financial section of this report. Acknowledgements The preparation of this report on a timely basis is a team effort involving many dedicated people across the entire organization. I would like to extend a special thanks to the talented finance professionals throughout the City, led by Jessica Alcaraz, Financial Services Administrator, Joaquin Leon Deputy City Treasurer, and Angela Melgar, Finance Manager. Appreciation is also expressed for Zaynah Moussa, City Attorney; Todd Dusenberry, General Manager of Public Utilities; Dan Wall, Director of Public Works; Robert Sousa, Chief of Police; Freddy Agyin, Director of Health and Environmental Control; Michael Earl, Human Resources Director; and Lisa Pope, City Clerk. In closing, without the leadership and support of the City Council, the preparation and results presented within this report would not have been conceivable. Their steadfast leadership has made possible the implementation of the City’s important, innovative concepts in fiscal management discussed herein. Respectfully submitted, Carlos Fandino City Administrator .  .  Item 11 Page 11 of 126 This page intentionally left blank. .  .  Item 11 Page 12 of 126 200 E. Sandpointe Avenue, Suite 600 Santa Ana, California 92707 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Report on the Audit of the 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 Vernon, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position, and where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”), and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 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 requirements relating to out audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibility of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 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. .  .  Item 11 Page 13 of 126 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Page 2 2 Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.  conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Budgetary Comparison Schedule, the Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liabilities and Related Ratios – Miscellaneous Plan and Safety Plan, the Schedule of Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liabilities and Related Ratios – Safety Plan, the Schedule of Contributions – Pensions, the Schedules of Changes in Net Other Postemployment Benefits Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedules of Contributions – Other Postemployment Benefits be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by Government Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the Required Supplementary Information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. .  .  Item 11 Page 14 of 126 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Page 3 3 Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements comprise three components: (i) government-wide financial statements, (ii) fund financial statements, and (iii) notes to the basic financial statements. Government-wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City's total assets and deferred outflows of resources and total 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 is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the City'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 of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes (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, and health services. The business-type activities of the City is administered by the Vernon Public Utilities which consists of the Electric, Gas, Water, and Fiber Optics utilities. The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Vernon (known as the primary government), but also blended component units. Certain blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the primary government’s operations and are included as part of the primary government. Fiduciary funds are not presented in the government-wide financial statements as the resources are not available to support City programs. The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 20-23 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, 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. .  .  Item 11 Page 17 of 126 City of Vernon, California Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) 6 Governmental funds Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental 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. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the General Fund (see page 93). The basic governmental funds financial statements can be found on pages 29 and 32 of this report. Proprietary funds The City’s proprietary funds consist of enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its Vernon Public Utilities which consists of the Electric, Gas, Water, and Fiber Optics utilities. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Vernon Public Utilities. The basic proprietary funds financial statements can be found on pages 34-39 of this report. Fiduciary funds Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside of the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support City programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The basic fiduciary funds financial statements can be found on pages 43 and 44 of this report. Notes to the basic financial statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 49-91 of this report. .  .  Item 11 Page 18 of 126 City of Vernon, California Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) 7 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS City’s Net Position The table below summarizes the government-wide Statement of Net Position as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, and is as follows: City of Vernon Net Position June 30, 2023 and 2022 Overtime, net position may serve as a useful indicator of a city's financial position. At June 30, 2023, the City’s net position was $337.8 million, an increase of $81.0 million over the net position of $256.7 million at June 30, 2022. The largest portion of the City's net position ($353.4 million) is its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, and equipment, right-to-use assets, etc.), net of related debt. The City uses capital assets to provide services to residents; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. This category of net position increased mainly from the construction of ongoing, or nearly completed projects such as the city-wide tree well project, Gateway Arch Project, Electrical service upgrades, Well and Reservoir rehabilitation, and upgrading the existing fiber optics network system. The City's restricted net position totals $42.8 million. Restricted net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used, such as debt. The remaining deficit balance of $58.4 million represents unrestricted net position. Total net position increased by $81.0 million from an excess of revenues over expenses. This net increase was reflected by an increase of $53.7, $21.8, and $5.5 million in unrestricted net position net investment in capital assets and restricted net position, respectively. The excess of revenues over expenses will be analyzed in conjunction with the Statement of Activities. 2023 2022 2023 2022 2023 2022 Assets: Current and other assets 47,272,062$ 31,543,883$ 189,058,515$ 190,425,409$ 236,330,577$ 221,969,292$ Restricted assets 2,824,858 6,267,964 36,427,615 46,383,084 39,252,473 52,651,048 Capital assets 162,262,242 163,093,528 465,066,379 458,427,644 627,328,621 621,521,172 Total assets 212,359,162 200,905,375 690,552,509 695,236,137 902,911,671 896,141,512 Deferred Outflows of Resources Deferred outflows related to pensions 48,056,290 23,034,461 14,399,006 5,338,797 62,455,296 28,373,258 Deferred outflows related to OPEB liability 3,906,490 2,856,840 1,170,494 662,143 5,076,984 3,518,983 Deferred amount on bond refunding - - 1,731,362 1,933,345 1,731,362 1,933,345 Total deferred outflows of resources 51,962,780 25,891,301 17,300,862 7,934,285 69,263,642 33,825,586 Liabilities: Current liabilities 7,167,000 4,494,931 76,168,309 23,591,507 83,335,309 28,086,438 Long term liabilities 138,346,981 92,405,587 395,093,373 485,156,669 533,440,354 577,562,256 Total liabilities 145,513,981 96,900,518 471,261,682 508,748,176 616,775,663 605,648,694 Deferred Inflows of Resources Deferred inflows related to pensions 6,073,932 44,972,489 1,819,920 10,423,470 7,893,852 55,395,959 Deferred inflows related to OPEB liability 4,639,817 6,807,966 1,390,219 1,577,912 6,030,036 8,385,878 Deferred inflows related to Leases 3,704,545 3,803,114 - - 3,704,545 3,803,114 Total deferred outflows of resources 14,418,294 55,583,569 3,210,139 12,001,382 17,628,433 67,584,951 Net Position: Net investment in capital assets 161,850,189 162,746,593 191,510,736 168,787,837 353,360,925 331,534,430 Restricted 5,750,277 4,422,510 37,049,052 32,836,544 42,799,329 37,259,054 Unrestricted (deficit)(63,210,799) (92,856,514) 4,821,762 (19,203,517) (58,389,037) (112,060,031) Total net position 104,389,667$ 74,312,589$ 233,381,550$ 182,420,864$ 337,771,217$ 256,733,453$ Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Totals .  .  Item 11 Page 19 of 126 City of Vernon, California Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) 8 With the implementation of GASB 96, the City was required to report long-term subscriptions in the financial statements. The following categories were added to the financial statements: intangible (right-to- use asset) subscription assets, and subscription liabilities. Additional information and discussion of these can be found in Notes 1H, 1N, and 5 of the City’s Notes to the Basic Financial Statements. Following is a summary of the government-wide Statement of Activities which illustrates the City’s overall $81.0 million increase in net position resulting from program expenses being less than total program and general revenues. A discussion regarding significant changes in revenues and expenses follows the table.

The majority of this increase resulted from an increase of $24.0 million Vernon Public Utilities charges for services, an increase of $4.7 million in Investment Income partially due to interest income derived from the City’s investment portfolio performing better as compared to prior year due to the rise in interest rates. Operating and capital grants decreased by $4.5 million as compared to the prior year, as there was a slow down on the Atlantic Bridge widening project this year. The remaining changes include all other governmental activities accounting for a net $1.8 million increase mainly comprised of $1.5 million increase in sales and use tax revenue. The most significant portion of the City's revenue came from sales and use taxes, parcel taxes, ad utility user taxes which accounted for 22.7%, 21.3% and 21.1% of total revenue respectively. Charges for services accounted for 10.3% of total revenue. Additionally, 8% was received from business license taxes, 6.7% from property taxes, and the remaining 9.9% was from franchise taxes, grants, and investment income. Government-wide expenses of all the City programs and services decreased by $8.3 million to $262.4 million. Governmental Activities decreased by $18.7 million while the Business Type Activities increased by $10.3 million. Expenses include adjustments for depreciation, long-term debt, and pension costs. The net decrease in Government-wide expenses is spread across the City's programs with decreases in Public Safety services by $17.8 million, General Government by $2.4 million, and an increase in Vernon Public Utilities of $10.3 million, and Public Works increased by $15 million each. Interest Expense is now presented on a separate line item at $0.6 million and is attributed to long-term debt and leases/subscription liabilities. Vernon Public Utilities accounted for 81.9% of the total costs, General Government for 5.8%, Public Safety for 6.7%, Public Works for 5.1%, and Health for 0.6%. Interest Expense accounts for a minimal amount of the remaining expenses. Governmental activities contributed $29.6 million before transfers to the increase in net position resulting from revenues exceeding expenses. Revenues of governmental activities report a net increase over the prior year of $1.3 million, to $77.1 million. The increase is attributed to a $1.7 million increase in charges for services, $1.5 million increase in sales and use tax, $1.5 million increase is utility users tax, while operating and capital grants decreased by $3.6 million. Expenses of governmental activities decreased by a net $18.7 million. Expenses include adjustments for depreciation, long-term debt, and pension costs. The net decrease is spread across the City's programs with Police decreasing by $17.8 million, General Government decreasing by $2.4 and Public Works increasing by $1.6 million each. Health services and interest expense experienced a very negligible change. .  .  Item 11 Page 21 of 126 City of Vernon, California Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) 10 The following two charts show the source and use of funds for Governmental Activities: Property taxes 7% Parcel taxes 21% Utility users taxes 21% Franchise taxes 3% Business license taxes 8% Other Taxes 0%Investment income 0% Rental Income 1% Sales and use taxes 23% Other revenues 4% Operating Grants 1% Capital Grants 1%Charges for services 10% Governmental Activities Revenue by Source FY 2023 General Government 32% Public Safety 37% Public Works 28% Health Services 3% Interest and Fiscal Charges 0% Governmental Activities Expenses by Function FY 2023 .  .  Item 11 Page 22 of 126 City of Vernon, California Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) 11 Business-type activities consists of the Electric, Gas, Water and Fiber Utilities Enterprise Funds. The total net position at the end of the year was $233.4 million as compared to $182.4 million at the end of the prior year. This represents an increase in net position of $51.0 million. The increase can largely be attributed to the purchase of Malburg Generating Station and the end of the PPTA agreement which has resulted in savings. Another factor are lowered Transmission firm expenses from Cal ISO. Revenues of $262.3 million consist of charges for services. This is an increase of $27.0 million over the prior year's total revenue of $239.7 million. The increase is mainly due to increased energy cost adjustment pass-through which is directly offset by the increase in cost of energy and natural gas in the expenses. Despite the increases in the aforementioned expenses. - 50,000,000 100,000,000 150,000,000 200,000,000 250,000,000 300,000,000 (In Millions)Vernon Public Utilities Business-type Activities- Revenues and Expenses Years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 2023 Revenues 2023 Expenditures 2022 Revenues 2022 Expenditures .  .  Item 11 Page 23 of 126 City of Vernon, California Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) 12 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related legal requirements. Governmental funds The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, the nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balances may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balances of $42.0 million (see page 31), an increase of $14.1 million from the prior year. Approximately 0.28% of the total fund balance amount, $116 thousand, constitutes nonspendable fund balance, which are amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required to be maintained intact. Approximately 13.69% of the total fund balance amount, $5.8 million, constitutes restricted fund balance, which are amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally, or through enabling legislation. Approximately 23.81% of the total fund balance amount, $10 million, constitutes committed fund balance, which are amounts that the City Council set aside for various reserves. The remainder of the fund balance amount, $26.1 million is an unassigned fund balance to indicate that it is the residual classification that is not contained in the other classifications. The General Fund is the operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, the total fund balance was $42.0 (see page 29). At the end of the current fiscal year, the total fund balance represents 54.1% of the total expenditures for the year. Proprietary funds The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements but in more detail. Unrestricted net position for the Vernon Public Utilities at the end of the year amounted to a balance of $4.8 million (see page 35). This deficit balance in unrestricted net position is primarily due to the proprietary funds being heavily invested in capital assets for which it has not yet recovered the cost of capital invested. The proprietary funds expect to eliminate these deficit balances through increased future revenues. The total increase in net position for the Vernon Public Utilities was $51 million (see page 23). Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City's business-type activities. .  .  Item 11 Page 24 of 126 City of Vernon, California Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) 13 GENERAL FUND AND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS For the current year, the General Fund’s total positive variance between the final budgeted amounts and the actual amount of change in fund balance was $20.3 million. The key reasons for this variance were due to lower actual expenditures than projected of approximately $20.1 million. For the current year, the General Fund’s total positive variance between the final budgeted estimated revenues and actual revenues was $162,546. The main reason for the variance, was that taxes came in higher than expected by $4.4 million offset by intergovernmental revenues coming lower by $5.3 million and charges for services by $1.1 million. For the current year, the General Fund’s total positive variance between the final budgeted amount and the actual amount for expenditures was $20.1 million. The key reasons for this variance were due to higher appropriations than actual expenditures of $14.5 million in capital outlay and related professional services of $1.8 million in public works as well as a reduction in the LA County contracted services of $1.8 million. CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital assets The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2023, amounts to $627.3 million (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land, construction in progress, building, utility system improvements, machinery and equipment, infrastructure such as roads, and intangible assets such as environmental emission credits. The increase in capital assets of $5.7 million is mainly due to city-wide tree well project, Gateway Arch Project, Electrical service upgrades, Well and Reservoir rehabilitation, and upgrading the existing fiber optics network system. For additional information see Note 5 of this report. Outstanding debt As of June 30, 2023, the following debt remains outstanding:  $36,870,000 City of Vernon Electric System Revenue Bonds, 2008 Taxable Series A  $5,340,000 City of Vernon Electric System Revenue Bonds, 2012 Taxable Series B  $89,180,000 City of Vernon Electric System Revenue Bonds, 2015 Taxable Series A  $19,305,000 City of Vernon Electric System Revenue Bonds, 2020 Series A  $153,435,000 City of Vernon Electric System Revenue Bonds, 2021 Taxable Series A  $52,070,000 City of Vernon Electric System Revenue Bonds, 2022 Taxable Series A  $14,350,000 City of Vernon Water System Revenue Bonds, 2020 Taxable Series A  $1,081,395 City of Vernon agreement with the Water Replenishment District of Southern California .  .  Item 11 Page 25 of 126 City of Vernon, California Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) 14 The City of Vernon Electric System Revenue Bonds, 2008 Taxable Series A were issued to provide funds to (i) finance the cost of certain capital improvements to the City’s Electric System, (ii) fund a deposit to the Debt Service Reserve Fund, and (iii) to pay costs of issuance of the 2008 Bonds.

Cities continue to be challenged in forecasting the economy and preparing the budget for the next fiscal year. The City has been fortunate in its specific mix of businesses, which has proven to be resilient in response to volatile economic changes. These factors were considered in preparing the City and VPU’s budget for fiscal year 2023-24.  The City developed a conservative spending plan addressing City Council and community priorities while focusing on operations at full capacity, deferring maintenance and operational needs while still focused on delivering quality core municipal services.  VPU continues to respond to inflation and supply chain issues, including higher energy, natural gas, materials and supplies, chemicals, and construction costs to maintain generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure to continue to provide exceptionally reliable service.  Continue to implement VPU’s capital plan, manage operating and maintenance expenses, update the 2018 Integrated Resource Plan, complete an Electric Cost of Service Analysis and Rate Design study, transition customer load growth to green commerce, optimize the MGS operating profile, and continue to implement the multi-year water rate adjustment plan approved by City Council.

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the significant policies: A. Financial Reporting Entity The City was incorporated on September 16, 1905 under the general laws of the State of California. Effective July 1, 1988, the City became a Charter City. The City operates under a Council-City Administrator form of government. Five Vernon citizens make up the Vernon City Council and each is elected to a five-year term of office. The Mayor position is rotated annually among City Council Members in order of election. The City provides full services to its citizens, including: public safety, public utilities, planning and zoning, and health services. The financial statements include the financial activities of the City of Vernon, the primary government, and its fiduciary component units which include the Vernon Redevelopment Successor and Southeast Water Coalition. The City had no discretely presented component units. B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. City resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The Government-Wide Financial Statements are presented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City’s assets and liabilities, including capital assets, as well as infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. On an accrual basis, revenue from sales taxes is recognized in the period in which the taxable sale takes place. Revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Eligibility requirements include timing requirements, which specify the year when the resources are required to be used or the year when use is first permitted, matching requirements, in which the City must provide local resources to be used for a specified purpose, and expenditure requirements, in which the resources are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. Fiduciary activities are not included in these statements. Certain types of transactions are reported as program revenues for the City in three categories:  Charges for services  Operating grants and contributions  Capital grants and contributions .  .  Item 11 Page 61 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 50 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) Governmental Fund Financial Statements A Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance are presented for governmental fund. Accompanying schedules are presented to reconcile and explain the differences in fund balance as presented in these statement, to the net position presented in the government-wide financial statements. Governmental fund is accounted for on a spending or “current financial resources” measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Change in Fund Balance presents increases (revenue and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both “measurable” and “available” to finance expenditures of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred. However, debt service expenditures, expenditures related to compensated absences, claims and judgments, pension and other post-employment benefits are recorded only when payment is due. Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except those revenues subject to accrual are recognized when due. Property taxes, taxpayer-assessed tax revenues (e.g., franchise taxes, sales taxes, motor vehicle fees, etc.), net of estimated refunds and uncollectible amounts, and intergovernmental revenues associated with the current fiscal period are all considered susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period to the extent normally collected within the availability period, as defined above. The City reports one major governmental fund:  The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It used to account for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Proprietary Fund Financial Statements Proprietary funds are accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. 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 Electric, Gas, Water, and Fiber Optics Enterprise Funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the proprietary funds include the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. .  .  Item 11 Page 62 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 51 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus (Continued) Proprietary Fund Financial Statements (Continued) The City reports the following major proprietary funds:  Electric Enterprise Fund - accounts for the operation and maintenance of the City's electric utility plant. Revenues for this fund are primarily from charges for services.  Gas Enterprise Fund - accounts for the operation and maintenance of the City's gas utility plant. Revenues for this fund are primarily from charges for services.  Water Enterprise Fund - account for the operation and maintenance of the City's water utility plant. Revenues for this fund are primarily from charges for services. The City also reports a fiber optics nonmajor proprietary fund for the maintenance and operation of the City’s fiber optics utility plant. Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements Fiduciary fund financial statements include a Statement of Fiduciary Net Position and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The City’s fiduciary funds represent custodial funds and private purpose trust funds. Both custodial funds and the private purpose trust funds are accounted for on the full accrual basis of accounting where the assets associated with the activity are controlled by the City and the assets are not derived 1) solely from the government’s own-source revenues or 2) from government-mandated nonexchange transactions or voluntary nonexchange transactions. The City reports the following two fiduciary funds: Vernon Redevelopment Successor Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund - The Successor Agency for the former Vernon Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) was established on February 1, 2012 in accordance to the Assembly Bill X1 26 that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. Effective February 1, 2012, successor agencies in California will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated. The activities of the Successor Agency are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City. Custodial Funds - To account for assets and activities related to the Southeast Water Coalition Joint Powers Agreement. C. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The City pools the main operating cash account. Cash in excess of current requirements is invested and reported as investments. It is the City's intent to hold investments until maturity. However, the City may, in response to market conditions, sell investments prior to maturity in order to improve the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio. Interest earnings are apportioned among funds each month based on ending cash and investment balances of each fund. .  .  Item 11 Page 63 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 52 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) C. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments (Continued) Highly liquid market investments with maturities of one year or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction. In determining the amount, the City uses the market approach, one of the three acceptable valuation techniques. Market approach uses prices generated for identical or similar assets or liabilities. D. Fair Value Measurement U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes disclosure about fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specified at fair value in the financial statements, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Levels of inputs are as follows:  Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.  Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date. E. Interfund Transactions Outstanding short-term borrowing between funds are reported as “due from/to other funds”. Interfund loans are reported as advances to and from other funds and are eliminated upon consolidation. Advances to other funds are presented as nonspendable in General Fund’s fund balance to indicate that they are not in a spendable form. Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances." F. Inventories and Prepaid Items Inventories within the various fund types consist of materials and supplies which are valued at cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Reported expenditures reflect the consumption method of recognizing inventory-related expenditures. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements by using purchase method. A nonspendable fund balance has been reported in the governmental fund to show that inventories and prepaid items do not constitute “available spendable resources,” even though they are a component of current assets. The City made a prepayment to Southern California Public Power Authority (“SCPPA”) for the City’s share of SCPPA’s payoff of the Hoover Center and Air Slots debt. This prepaid amount is amortized over the life of the debt based on the annual debt services obligation. See Note 11 for further information regarding SCPPA. .  .  Item 11 Page 64 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 53 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) G. Lease Receivable The City is a lessor for leases of land and recognizes lease receivables and deferred inflows of resources in the financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the lease receivable. At the commencement of a lease, the lease receivable is measured at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. The City established a threshold of $15,000 for lease receivables. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflows of resources are initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflows of resources are recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term in a systematic and rational method. Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts.  The City uses incremental borrowing rate (IBR) provided by the financial institution at July 1, 2021 for existing leases or the current rate at the time a new lease is executed.  The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease plus any option periods that are likely to be exercised.  Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable. H. Capital Assets In the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, capital assets are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are valued at their acquisition value. Capital assets include intangible assets with indefinite lives and public domain (infrastructure) general capital assets consisting of certain improvements including roads and bridges, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and traffic light systems. The capitalization threshold for all capital assets is $5,000. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives in the government-wide and proprietary funds statements. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The lives used for depreciation purposes are as follows: Assets Years Infrastructures 10-50 Utility Plant and Buildings 25-50 Improvements 10-20 Right-to-use equipment 3 Machinery and equipment 3-35 .  .  Item 11 Page 65 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 54 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) H. Capital Assets (Continued) Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend useful lives, are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the changes in net financial position. The governmental fund financial statements do not present capital assets. Instead, capital assets purchases are reported as capital outlay expenditures or other functional expenditures such as public works. As such, capital assets are shown as a reconciling item in the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Statement of Net Position. The City established a threshold to recognize right‐to‐use assets, including lease assets or subscription-based information technology arrangement (“SBITA”) assets (“subscription assets”), in the government‐wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements for right-to-use asset over $15,000. Lease assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities and adjusted by any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term, less any lease incentives received from the lessor at or before the commencement of the lease term along with any initial direct costs that are ancillary charges necessary to place the lease assets into service. Lease assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, unless the lease contains a purchase option that the City has determined is reasonably certain of being exercised. In this case, the lease asset is amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset. Subscription assets are recorded at the amount of the initial measurement of the SBITA liabilities (“subscription liabilities”) and adjusted by any subscription payments to the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term along with subscription implementation costs. Subscription assets are amortized over the shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT assets. I. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources The statement of net position reports separate sections for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, when applicable. Deferred Outflows of Resources represents consumption of net assets that applies to future periods. Deferred Inflows of Resources represents acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods. J. Unearned and Unavailable Revenue Unearned revenue is reported for transactions for which revenue has not yet been earned. Typical transactions recorded as unearned revenues in the government-wide financial statements are grant revenues received in advance. In the governmental fund financial statements, unavailable revenue is reported when transactions have not yet met the revenue recognition criteria based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The City reports unavailable revenue when an asset is reported in governmental fund financial statements but the revenue is not available. .  .  Item 11 Page 66 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 55 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) K. Compensated Absences Accumulated vacation is accrued when incurred in the government-wide, proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements. A liability for accrued vacation is recorded in the governmental fund only to the extent that such amounts have matured (i.e., as a result of employee resignations and retirements). Upon termination of employment, the City will pay the employee all accumulated vacation leave at 100% of the employee’s base hourly rate. L. Claims Payable When it is probable that a claim liability has been incurred at year-end and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the City records the estimated loss, net of any insurance coverage, under its self- insurance program. Claims payable, which includes an estimate for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims, is recorded in the General Fund. M. Lease Liabilities The City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $15,000 or more with a lease term greater than one year in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance of the lessee or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the lease liability. At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments.  The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the State generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.  The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to exercise. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure any lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability. N. Subscription Liabilities The City recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of $15,000 or more with a subscription term greater than one year in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. Variable payments based on future performance of the City or usage of the underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the subscription liability. At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of subscription payments made. .  .  Item 11 Page 67 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 56 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) N. Subscription Liabilities (Continued) Key estimates and judgments related to subscription include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected v payments to present value, (2) subscription term, and (3) subscription payments.  The City uses incremental borrowing rate provided by the financial institution at July 1, 2022 for existing subscription or the current rate at the time a new subscription is executed.  The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the SBITA. Subscription payments included in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its SBITA and will remeasure any subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability. O. Long-Term Debt In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate activities. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Debt issuance costs except for any portion related to prepaid insurance were recognized as expense in the period incurred. Premium or discount not considered as part of the reacquisition price was amortized over the life of the bond. The governmental fund financial statements do not present long-term liabilities. Consequently, long-term debt is shown as a reconciling item in the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Government- Wide Statement of Net Position. P. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. General Fund is used to liquidate pension liabilities for governmental fund. The following timeframes are used for pension reporting: Valuation Date June 30, 2021 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period. .  .  Item 11 Page 68 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 57 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Q. Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) For the purpose of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s OPEB Plan and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value, except for money market investments, which are reported at amortized cost. General Fund is typically used to liquidate OPEB liabilities for governmental funds. The following timeframes are reported OPEB reporting: Valuation Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense. The amortization period differs depending on the sources of gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) at the beginning of the measurement period. R. Property Taxes The County of Los Angeles levies, collects and apportions property taxes for all taxing jurisdictions within the County. Property taxes are determined by applying approved rates to the properties’ assessed values. The County remits property taxes applicable to the City less an applicable to the City less an administrative fee throughout the year. Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties for up to 1% of assessed property value, plus other increases approved by the voters. Property taxes collected are pooled and then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas. Property taxes are assessed, collected and allocated by Los Angeles County throughout the fiscal year. The following are key dates pertaining to property taxes: January 1 July 1 to June 30 November 1 and February 1 December 10 and April 10 Lien Date Levy Date Due Dates Delinquent Dates Property taxes receivable for the governmental fund types, which have been remitted within 60 days subsequent to year end, are considered measurable and available and recognized as revenues. All other property taxes are offset by deferred property tax inflows of resources and, accordingly, have not been recorded as revenue. Taxes are considered past due on the above delinquent dates, at which time the applicable property is subject to lien, and penalties and interest are assessed. .  .  Item 11 Page 69 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 58 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) S. Net Position and Fund Balances In the Government-Wide Financial Statements and proprietary fund financial statements, net position is classified as follows: Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of retention payable and debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets, and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources, net of unspent debt proceeds. Restricted – This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Unrestricted – This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position. When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, the City’s policy is to apply the restricted component of net position first, then the unrestricted component of net position as needed. In the Governmental Fund Financial Statements, fund balances are classified as follows: Nonspendable – Nonspendable fund balances are items that cannot be spent because they are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items and inventories, or items that are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, such as principal of an endowment or revolving loan funds. Restricted – Restricted fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions. This includes externally imposed restrictions by creditors, such as through debt covenants, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, as well as restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Committed – Committed fund balances encompass the portion of net fund resources, the use of which is constrained by limitations that the government imposes upon itself at its highest level of decision making, normally the governing body, and that remain binding unless removed in the same manner. The City Council is considered the highest authority for the City. Adoption of a resolution by the City Council is required to commit resources or to rescind the commitment. Unassigned – This amount is for any portion of the fund balances that do not fall into one of the above categories. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds, it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other than General Fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund. The City establishes encumbrance to record the amount of purchase orders, contracts, and other obligations, which have not yet been fulfilled, cancelled or discharged. Encumbrances outstanding at year end do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as a component of committed fund balance. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end. .  .  Item 11 Page 70 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 59 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) S. Net Position and Fund Balances (Continued) When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which all restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to apply in the following order, except for instances wherein an ordinance specifies the fund balance:  Restricted  Committed  Assigned  Unassigned T. Use of Estimates The preparation of the basic financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. U. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncement In May 2020, GASB issued Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (GASB Statement No. 96), to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by (a) establishing uniform accounting and financial reporting requirements for SBITAs; (b) improving the comparability of financial statements among governments that have entered into SBITAs; and (c) enhancing the understandability, reliability, relevance, and consistency of information about SBITAs. Under this Statement, a government is required to recognize a subscription liability and an intangible right-to-use subscription asset. The effective date of GASB Statement No. 96 is for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022. Implementation of this Statement resulted in restatement of beginning balance of capital assets (Note 5) and long-term debt liabilities (Note 6) at July 1, 2022. Note 2 – Cash and Investments The City maintains a cash and investment pool, which includes cash balances and authorized investments of all funds. Certain restricted funds which are held and invested by independent outside custodians through contractual agreements are not pooled. These restricted funds include cash and investments with fiscal agents. The City had the following cash and investments at June 30, 2023: Fiduciary Fund Governmental Business-Typ e Statement of Activities Activities Net Position Total Cash and investments 33,979,557$ 153,374,024$ 889,127$ 188,242,708$ Restricted cash and investments 2,824,858 36,427,615 3,590,059 42,842,532 Total cash and investments 36,804,415$ 189,801,639$ 4,479,186$ 231,085,240$ Government-Wide Statement of Net Position .  .  Item 11 Page 71 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 60 Note 2 – Cash and Investments (Continued) The City’s cash and investments at June 30, 2023, in more detail: Cash on hand 1,300$ Deposits with financial institution 55,483,350 Cash with fiscal agents 3,780,628 Investments 171,819,962 Total cash and investments 231,085,240$ A. Deposits The carrying amounts of the City’s demand deposits were $55,483,350 at June 30, 2023. Bank balances at that date were $56,320,937, the total amount of which was collateralized or insured with accounts held by the pledging financial institutions in the City’s name as discussed below. The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City’s cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's name. The market value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California law also allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the City’s total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements for cash deposits, deposits, which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The City did not waive the collateral requirement for deposits insured by FDIC. The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required to be held by fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures. Interest income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated on an accounting period basis to the various funds based on the period-end cash and investment balances. Interest income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the related fund. .  .  Item 11 Page 72 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 61 Note 2 – Cash and Investments (Continued) B.

Local Agency Investment Fund (“LAIF”) The City is a participant in LAIF which is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. As of June 30, 2023, the City had $636,435 invested in LAIF. The fair value of the City’s portion in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares and reported at amortized cost. D. Fair Value Measurement At June 30, 2023, investments are reported at fair value. The following table presents the fair value measurements of investments on a recurring basis and the levels with GASB 72 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2023: Quoted Prices in Active Significant Market for Identical Other Observable Investment Type Assets (Level 1) Inputs (Level 2) Uncategorized Total Local Agency Investment Fund -$ -$ 636,435$ 636,435$ Money Market Funds - - 105,047,087 105,047,087 US Treasury bills 29,402,775 - - 29,402,775 Negotiable Certificates of Deposit*- 496,620 - 496,620 Investment with fiscal agent: Money Market Funds - - 36,237,045 36,237,045 Total 29,402,775$ 496,620$ 141,920,567$ 171,819,962$ * Priced based on significant obervable inputs.

This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating, by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s at June 30, 2023 for each investment type: Fair Value Minimum Not Required at Legal to be Investment Type June 30, 2023 Rating AAA Other Rated Local Agency Investment Fund 636,435$ Not Rated -$ -$ 636,435$ Money Market Funds 105,047,087 AAA 105,047,087 - - US Treasury bills 29,402,775 N/A 29,402,775 - - Negotiable Certificates of Deposit 496,620 N/A - 496,620 - Investment with fiscal agent: Money Market Funds 36,237,045 N/A 36,237,045 - - Total 171,819,962$ 170,686,907$ 496,620$ 636,435$ N/A - Not Required Concentration of Credit Risk The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer excluding a 10% limitation on commercial papers, mutual funds, and money market mutual funds and a 30% limitation on banker’ acceptances. The City’s investment policy places no limit on the amount of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee that the trustee may invest in one issuer that is governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the City, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy. Custodial Credit Risk The 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 deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of a third party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of the third party. At June 30, 2023, none of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk. .  .  Item 11 Page 74 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 63 Note 3 – Lease Receivables Lease receivable consist of agreements with others for the right–to–use of the underlying assets for land owned by the City. The lease expires in January 2061. The incremental borrowing rate used was 2.01%. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the City recognized $98,569 in lease revenue and $76,258 in interest revenue for General Fund.

See Note 12 for further information. Plan Description The City contribution to the California Public Employees Retirement System (“CalPERS”), an agent multiple- employer defined benefit pension plan for miscellaneous employees and a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit plan for safety employees. CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute and City ordinance. A full description of the pension plan regarding number of employees covered, benefit provisions, assumptions (for funding, but not accounting purposes), and membership information are listed in the June 30, 2021 Annual Actuarial Valuation Report. This report and CalPERS’ audited financial statements are publicly available reports that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms and Publications.

There is no special age requirement. The standard non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent of final compensation, multiplied by service years. Industrial disability benefits are not offered to miscellaneous employees. The City provides industrial disability retirement benefits to safety employees only. The industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 50 percent of final compensation. An employee's beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee becomes deceased while actively employed. The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other pre-retirement death benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5 percent per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six months’ salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death. Upon the death of a retiree, a one-time lump sum payment of $500 will be made to the retiree's designated survivor(s), or to the retiree 's estate. Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each employee's retirement allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis up to 2 percent. .  .  Item 11 Page 90 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 79 Note 9 – Pension Plan (Continued) A. General Information about the Pension Plan (Continued) Employees Covered by Benefit Terms At June 30, 2021, the valuation date, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms: Miscellaneous Safety Active employees 144 43 Transferred and terminated employees 186 141 Retired employees and beneficiaries 200 291 Total 530 475 Plans Contributions Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (“PERL”) requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through 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 employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. B. Net Pension Liability Actuarial Methods and Assumption Used to Determine Total Pension Liability The June 30, 2021 valuation was rolled forward to determine the June 30, 2022 total pension liability, based on following actuarial methods and assumptions: Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability Actuarial Cost Method Actuarial Assumptions: Discount Rate Inflation Salary Increases Mortality Rate Table(1) Post Retirement Benefit Increase (1)The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and Post- retirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERSExperience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website. Entry Age Normal 6.90% 2.30% Varies by Entry Age and Service The lesser of contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing Power Protection. Allowance floor on purchasing power applies, 2.30% thereafter.

Net Pension Liability (Continued) Change of Assumptions Effective with the June 30, 2021 valuation date (2022 measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to 6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are estimated, combined with risk estimates, and are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return. In addition, demographic assumptions and the inflation rate assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. 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. Using historical returns of all of the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 basis points. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows: Asset Class1 Assumed Asset Allocation Real Return 1,2 Global Equity - Cap-weighted 30.00% 4.54% Global Equity - Non-Cap-weighted 12.00% 3.80% Private Equity 13.00% 7.28% Treasury 5.00% 0.27% Mortgage-backed Securities 5.00% 0.50% Investment Grade Corporates 10.00% 1.56% High Yield 5.00% 2.27% Emerging Market Debt 5.00% 2.48% Private Debt 5.00% 3.57% Real Assets 15.00% 3.21% Leverage -5.00% -0.59% 100.00% 1 An expected inflation of 2.30% used for this period. 2 Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study. Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. .  .  Item 11 Page 92 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 81 Note 9 – Pension Plan (Continued) C.

Total Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Pension Liability Net Position Liability (a) (b) (c) = (a) - (b) Balance at 6/30/21 (Valuation Date) 294,876,901$ 235,115,101$ 59,761,800$ Balance at 6/30/22 (Measurement Date)307,584,651 206,457,603 101,127,048 Net Changes during 2021-2022 12,707,750 (28,657,498) 41,365,248 Increase (Decrease) The following is the approach established by the plan actuary to allocate the net pension liability and pension expense to the individual employers within the risk pool. (1) In determining a cost-sharing plan’s proportionate share, total amounts of liabilities and assets are first calculated for the risk pool as a whole on the valuation date (June 30, 2021). The risk pool’s fiduciary net position (“FNP”) subtracted from its total pension liability (“TPL”) determines the net pension liability (“NPL”) at the valuation date. .  .  Item 11 Page 93 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 82 Note 9 – Pension Plan (Continued) C. Changes in the Net Pension Liability (Continued) Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability and Pension Expense (Continued) (2) Using standard actuarial roll forward methods, the risk pool TPL is then computed at the measurement date (June 30, 2022). Risk pool FNP at the measurement date is then subtracted from this number to compute the NPL for the risk pool at the measurement date. For purposes of FNP in this step and any later reference thereto, the risk pool’s FNP at the measurement date denotes the aggregate risk pool’s FNP at June 30, 2022 less the sum of all additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by all employers during the measurement period (2021-2022). (3) The individual plan’s TPL, FNP and NPL are also calculated at the valuation date. TPL is allocated based on the rate plan’s share of the actuarial accrued liability. FNP is allocated based on the rate plan’s share of market value assets. (4) Two ratios are created by dividing the plan’s individual TPL and FNP as of the valuation date from (3) by the amounts in step (1), the risk pool’s total TPL and FNP, respectively. (5) The plan’s TPL as of the Measurement Date is equal to the risk pool TPL generated in (2) multiplied by the TPL ratio generated in (4). The plan’s FNP as of the Measurement Date is equal to the FNP generated in (2) multiplied by the FNP ratio generated in (4) plus any additional side fund (or unfunded liability) contributions made by the employer on behalf of the plan during the measurement period. (6) The plan’s NPL at the Measurement Date is the difference between the TPL and FNP calculated in (5). Deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and pension expense are allocated based on the City’s share of net pension liability at the end of measurement date. The City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability was as follows: Safety Plan June 30, 2021 1.1050% June 30, 2022 0.8755% Change - Increase (Decrease) -0.2295% Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the net pension liability of the plans as of the measurement date, calculated using the discount rate of 6.90%, as well as what the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage-point lower (5.90%) or 1 percentage-point higher (7.90%) than the current rate: Discount Rate Current Discount Discount Rate - 1% (5.90%) Rate (6.90%) + 1% (7.90%) Miscellaneous Plan 86,296,598$ 56,595,458$ 32,344,481$ Safety Plan 143,604,007$ 101,127,048$ 66,411,730$ Plan's Net Pension Liability/(Asset) .  .  Item 11 Page 94 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 83 Note 9 – Pension Plan (Continued) C.

D. Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions For the year ended June 30, 2023, the City recognized pension expense (credit) in the amounts of $9,037,689 and $(4,806,121) for the miscellaneous plan and safety plan, respectively. As of measurement date of June 30, 2022, the City has deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions as follows: Deferred Outflows Deferred Inflows of Resources of Resources Contribution made after measurement period 6,946,066$ -$ Changes of assumptions 4,259,045 - Difference between expected and actual experience 638,538 - Net difference between projected and actual earning on pension plan investments 8,069,881 - Total 19,913,530$ -$ Miscellaneous Plan Deferred Outflows Deferred Inflows of Resources of Resources Contribution made after measurement period 9,178,981$ -$ Changes of assumptions 10,196,668 - Difference between expected and actual experience 4,185,281 (1,098,160) Net difference between projected and actual earning on pension plan investments 15,969,375 - Adjustment due to differences in proportions 3,011,462 - Difference between City contributions and proportionate share of contributions - (6,795,692) Total 42,541,767$ (7,893,852)$ Safety Plan The amounts above are net of outflows and inflows recognized in the 2021-2022 measurement period expense. The expected average remaining service lifetime (“EARSL”) is calculated by dividing the total future service years by the total number of plan participants (active, inactive, and retired). The EARSL for the Miscellaneous Plan and the Safety Plan risk pool for the 2021-22 measurement period is 2.9 and 3.7 years, which was obtained by dividing the total service years of 1,560 and 574,655 (the sum of remaining service lifetimes of the active employees) by 530 and 153,587 (the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired), respectively. .  .  Item 11 Page 95 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 84 Note 9 – Pension Plan (Continued) D.

General Information about the OPEB Plan Plan Description Retiree medical and dental benefits are established through the City’s Fringe Benefits and Salary Resolution as well as individual Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City and the City’s various employee bargaining groups. Benefits Provided Generally, the City will provide a postemployment benefit plan for the employee only to those who retire at age sixty (60) or later with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service up to the age of sixty-five (65). Alternatively, employees who retire before the age of sixty (60) with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service, will be permitted to pay their medical and dental premium cost and upon reaching the age of fifty (50), the City will pay the premium for the medical and dental plans until they reach the age of sixty-five (65). .  .  Item 11 Page 96 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 85 Note 10 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) A. General Information about the OPEB Plan (Continued) Benefits Provided (Continued) Resolution 2011-129 provided lifetime medical benefits to Police Management employees and their spouses, who have been employed as sworn safety personnel for a minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10) years of that service have been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2011-127 sets forth the MOU of the Vernon Police Officers’ Benefit Association, provided lifetime medical benefits to those employees and their spouses, who have been employed as sworn safety personnel for a minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10) years of that service has been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2012-217 granted specific retiree medical benefits to employees who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal year in order to provide an incentive for early retirement whereby the City authorized the payment of medical and dental insurance premiums for eligible retiring employees and their eligible dependents with at least ten (10) years of service plus 5% for each additional full year of service above the ten (10) years of service, and that this offer be extended as an option to safety and safety management groups, at their discretion, in addition to the related options provided in the Vernon Firefighters Association MOU and the Vernon Police Officers’ Benefit Association MOU. Resolution 2013-06 declared that the retiree medical benefits which had not been a vested right for employees will continue to be nonvested right for employees who continue to be employed by the City on or after July 1, 2013, but will become a vested right for those who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The City’s plan is considered a substantive OPEB plan and the City recognizes cost in accordance with GASB Statement No 75. The City may terminate its unvested OPEB in the future. Eligibility All of the Plan’s employees became participants in accordance with a negotiated Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) as negotiated by each group or bargaining unit. In order to receive benefits, eligible employees must meet the minimum requirements defined in their MOU. At June 30, 2022 valuation date, the following numbers of participants were covered by the benefit terms: Active plan members 209 Inactive plan members currently receiving benefits 128 Inactive plan members entitled to but not receiving benefits 15 Total 352 Contributions The City has established an irrevocable OPEB trust with assets dedicated to paying future retiree medical benefits. The City intends to contribute 100% or more of the actuarially determined contribution for the explicit subsidy liability only. The portion of the liability due to the implicit subsidy is not prefunded but is paid as benefits come due. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the City contributed $1,538,693 to the trust, paid $1,572,048 for retiree premiums, resulting in a total contribution of $3,110,741. .  .  Item 11 Page 97 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 86 Note 10 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) B. Net OPEB Liability The OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2022, and total liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022. Significant Actuarial Assumptions Used for Total OPEB Liability The total OPEB liability, measured as of June 30, 2022, was determined using the following actuarial assumptions: Actuarial Cost Method Actuarial Assumptions: Asset Valuation Method Inflation Salary Increases Long Term return on Assets Discount Rate Mortality Improvement Healthcare Trend CalPERS 2021 Experience Study; Project with MP Scale Based on 2022 Getzen model with in inflation rate of 7.00% non-Medicare / 5.50% Medicare decreasing gradually to an ultimate rate of 3.73% by 2075 2.80% wage inflation plus seniority, merit, and promotion salary increases based on CalPERS Expenditure Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions published in November 2021 Entry Age Normal Market value of assets 6.00% 6.00% 2.30% Change in assumptions Discount rate changed from 6.25% at June 30, 2021 to 6.00% at June 30, 2022. Healthcare trend rate assumption and mortality improvement scale were updated. Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.00%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

SCPPA is currently comprised of 11 Southern California cities and an irrigation district. The SCPPA’s purpose is planning, financing, acquiring, constructing, and operating of projects that generate or transmit electric energy for sale to its participants. The joint powers agreement has a term expiring in 2030 or such later date as all bonds and notes of SCPPA and interest thereon have been paid in full or adequate provisions for payments have been made. A copy of SCPPA’s audited financial statements can be reviewed on their website at www.scppa.org or can be obtained by written request at 1160 Nicole Ct Glendora, CA 91740. .  .  Item 11 Page 100 of 126 City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 89 Note 11 – Southern California Public Power Authority (Continued) A. Take or Pay Contract The SCPPA’s interest of entitlements in natural gas generation, and transmission projects are jointly owned with other utilities. Under these arrangements, a participating member has an undivided interest in a utility plant and is responsible for its proportionate share of the costs of construction and operation and is entitled to its proportionate share of the energy, available transmission capacity, or natural gas produced. Each joint plant participant, including the SCPPA, is responsible for financing its share of construction and operating costs. The City has the following “take or pay” contract with the SCPPA: Palo Verde Project The SCPPA purchases a 5.91% interest in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (the “Station”), a nuclear- fired generating station near Phoenix, Arizona, from Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, and a 6.55% share of the right to use certain portions of the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Valley Transmission System. The City has a 4.9% entitlement share of the SCPPA’s interest in the station. Between 1983 and 2008, the SCPPA issued $3.266 billion in debt of Power Project Revenue Bonds for the Station to finance the bonds and the purchase of the SCPPA’s share of the Station and related transmission right. The bonds are not obligations of any member of the SCPPA or public agency other than the SCPPA. Under a power sales contract with the SCPPA, the City is obliged on a “take or pay” basis for its proportionate share of power generated, as well as to make payments for its proportionate share of the operating and maintenance expenses of the Station, debt service on the bonds and any other debt, whether or not the project or any part thereof or its output is suspended, reduced or terminated. The City took its proportionate share of the power generated and its proportionate share of costs during the fiscal year 2023 was $3,730,000. The City expects no significant increases in costs related to its nuclear resources. B. Power Purchase Commitments The SCPPA has entered into power purchase agreements with project participants. These agreements are substantially “take-and-pay” contracts where there may be other obligations not associated with the of energy. The City has entered into power purchase agreements with the SCPPA related to the following projects: Astoria 2 Solar Project On July 23, 2014, the SCPPA entered into a power purchase agreement with Recurrent Energy for solar energy from the Astoria 2 Solar Project.

Sandpointe Avenue, Suite 600 Santa Ana, California 92707 REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS Independent Auditors’ Report To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”), the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Vernon, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the basic financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated February 8, 2024. Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (“internal control”) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. 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. .  .  Item 11 Page 125 of 126 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Page 2 114 Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

VPU is building a full-service utility that embraces emerging technologies and capitalizes on strategic opportunities. VPU goes beyond electricity, offering water, natural gas, and fiber optic services. As a publicly owned utility, it prioritizes customer focus, responsible operations, and a sustainable future for the Vernon community. With local control, VPU ensures transparency, competitive rates, and tailored policies to serve the community's needs. In partnership with the local community, VPU is shaping a sustainable energy future for Vernon. Awards The American Public Power Association (APPA) designates Reliable Public Power Provider recognition (RP3) to utilities that demonstrate exceptional proficiency in four key areas: safety, reliability, workforce development, and system improvement. Consistent with its mission, VPU strives for excellence in these areas. APPA has awarded VPU its highest – Diamond Level – RP3 designation for three consecutive terms, encompassing nine years from 2016 to 2025. VPU earned these honors by providing exceptionally reliable and safe electric service. VPU is one of only 26 of the more than 2,000 public power utilities across the United States to achieve Diamond Level RP3 designation from 2022 to 2025. APPA also awarded VPU the Safety Award for Excellence every year since 2018, recording no reportable safety incidents for 2023. Reliability VPU emphasizes operational reliability as a cornerstone of its strategic vision. VPU utilizes IEEE’s beta methodology to track reliability metrics to assess and enhance the resilience and dependability of VPU’s services. By tracking and analyzing key reliability indicators, VPU proactively identifies areas for improvement, allocates resources effectively, and implements targeted strategies to maintain an unwavering commitment to providing consistent and uninterrupted power supply to its valued customers. .  .  Item 11 Page 8 of 96 v Three Reliability Indicators VPU tracks three reliability indicators that the electric utility industry uses to assess and improve the performance of power distribution systems. System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) Quantifies the frequency of power outages per customer within a year. System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) Measures the duration of power outages experienced by the average customer over a year. Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) Provides the average time it takes to restore power after an outage, calculated by dividing SAIDI by SAIFI. VPU leverages data and industry benchmarks to improve service quality, minimize downtime, and ensure a reliable power supply. VPU benchmarks its performance against data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) to ensure alignment with industry standards and best practices. For the data year 2021, VPU’s average customer experienced 0.5 outages for 38.2 minutes. The restoration time was approximately 76.4 minutes. These metrics place VPU among the top 25 percent of the electric industry in reliability. Being in the top quartile of electric utility reliability benchmarking signifies VPU’s commitment to excellence, ensuring that the utility consistently delivers dependable service, promotes customer satisfaction, and contributes positively to the overall health of the community it serves. .  .  Item 11 Page 9 of 96 vi Cause of Outages Virtually all outages in the City of Vernon are from accidental causes. Contact with metallic balloons is the primary cause of outages (indicated as a “foreign object” in the chart below). The Other category includes single instances of storm damage, direct strike, and equipment damage. .  .  Item 11 Page 10 of 96 vii Energy Resources VPU’s generation portfolio continues to evolve with state mandates for renewable energy and zero- carbon generation. Vernon participates in the CAISO wholesale energy markets under a metered subsystem agreement (MSSA). Five years ago, natural gas generation from MGS and market purchases supplied approximately 59 percent of VPU’s energy resource mix. The remaining energy came from 7.7 percent nuclear, 1.6 percent large hydroelectric, and approximately 32 percent renewables. One of VPU’s central goals of the updated Integrated Resource Plan, approved by the City Council in October 2023, is to increase its renewable generation penetration to 60 percent by 2030 as directed by California statute. The chart below shows VPU’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Energy Resource Mix. .  .  Item 11 Page 11 of 96 viii Natural Gas Resources Malburg Generating Station (MGS) MGS is a 139 MW combined-cycle (CC) plant in the City of Vernon. MGS includes two Siemens GTXI00 natural gas-fired combustion turbine generators (CTGs) and a steam turbine generator (STG). MGS has duct burners, evaporative inlet air coolers, and filters that enable the units to achieve higher levels of power output in selected modes of operation. H. Gonzales Generating Station Units 1 & 2 The H. Gonzales Generating Station Unit 1 and Unit 2, located within the City of Vernon, is a natural gas-fueled facility powered by two Allison 571-KA combustion turbines (CTs), each rated at 5.75 MW, operating solely as peaking units.

Sandpointe Avenue, Suite 600 Santa Ana, California 92707 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Vernon Public Utilities (the “VPU”) of the City of Vernon, California (the “City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the VPU’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the VPU as of June 30, 2023, and the change in financial position, and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”), and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the VPU and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant requirements relating to out audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements present only the basic financial statements of the VPU and do not purport to, and do not present fairly the financial statements of the City as of June 30, 2023, the changes in its financial statements, or its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Responsibility of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. .  .  Item 11 Page 27 of 96 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Page 2 2 Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:  exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Schedule of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedule of the Contributions - Pension, the Schedule of Proportionate Share of the Net Other Postemployment Benefits Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedule of Contributions – Other Postemployment Benefits be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by Government Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the Required Supplementary Information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. .  .  Item 11 Page 28 of 96 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Page 3 3 Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the VPU’s basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in this annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory Section but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinion 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 February 8, 2024 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management encourages readers to utilize information in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) in conjunction with the accompanying basic financial statements. OVERVIEW OF BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The MD&A is intended to serve as an introduction to the VPU’s basic financial statements. Included as part of the financial statements are three separate statements. The statement of net position presents information on the VPU’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources and total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position. The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position presents information showing how the VPU's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. Financial results are recorded using the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, all changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying events occur, regardless of the timing of cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses reported in this statement for some items may affect cash flows in a future fiscal period (examples include billed but uncollected revenues and employee earned but unused vacation leave). The statement of cash flows reports cash receipts, cash payments, and net changes in cash and cash equivalents from operations, noncapital financing, capital and related financing, and investing activities. The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information essential to understand the data provided in the financial statements fully. .  .  Item 11 Page 31 of 96 City of Vernon, California Vernon Public Utilities Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) (Continued) June 30, 2023 6 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Net Position The table below summarizes VPU’s net position as of the current fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2023, and the prior fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2022.

The VPU accounts for the independent operations and the maintenance of the City’s electric, gas, water, and fiber optics utilities. A fund, or utility, administered by the VPU is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording resources, related liabilities, obligations, reserves, and equities, segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. For additional information regarding the City, refer to the City’s annual financial report. The financial statements of the VPU have been prepared in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The VPU significant accounting policies are described below. A. Financial Reporting Entity Ordinance No. 1242, adopted May 16, 2017, requires each utility of the City to be independent with its assets, liabilities, and equities segregated, budgeted, and accounted for in separate funds. Ordinance No. 1240, adopted March 21, 2017, consolidates all utilities-related services under the management of the stand-alone entity “Vernon Public Utilities” for Ordinance No. 1242, adopted May 16, 2017, requires each utility of the City to be independent with its assets, liabilities, and equities segregated, budgeted, and accounted for in separate funds. Ordinance No. 1240, adopted March 21, 2017, consolidates all utilities-related services under the management of the stand-alone entity “Vernon Public Utilities” for better oversight and management of the day-to-day activities of such independent utilities. Each of the City’s utilities, namely the electric, gas, water, and fiber optics utilities, were established by the City under and by virtue of the City Charter and the City Code enacted in 1988. Prior to July 1, 2016, the electric and gas utilities were consolidated and reported as the Light & Power Enterprise for financial reporting purposes. Ordinance No. 1242 continues to require each utility to be independent with its assets, liabilities, and equities segregated, budgeted, and accounted for in separate funds, while Ordinance No. 1240 enables the consolidated financial reporting of those independent utilities for better oversight and management. B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus The VPU’s financial statements accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. VPU distinguishes 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 Electric, Gas, Water, and Fiber Optics Enterprise funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the proprietary funds include the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. .  .  Item 11 Page 51 of 96 City of Vernon Vernon Public Utilities Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 26 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) C. Pooled Cash Part of the VPU’s operating cash balance is pooled with other City funds for deposit purposes. The share of each fund in the pooled cash account is recorded in each of the funds’ book of accounts, and interest income is apportioned to the participating funds based on the relationship of their average monthly balances to the total of the pooled cash. D. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the VPU considers all highly liquid investments (including restricted cash and investments) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investment transactions are recorded on the settlement date. Investments in nonparticipating interest-earning investment contracts are reported at cost and all other investments are reported at fair value. E. Fair Value Measurement U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes disclosure about fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specified at fair value in the financial statements, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Levels of inputs are as follows:  Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.  Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date. F. Interfund Transactions Outstanding short-term borrowing between funds are reported as “due from/to other funds City funds”. Long-term interfund loans are classified as “advances to/from other City funds” on the statement of net position. G. Receivables Trade receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Allowances for uncollectible accounts were $1,207,483 of June 30, 2023. Utility customers are billed monthly. The estimated value of services provided, but unbilled at year-end has been included in the accompanying statement of net position. .  .  Item 11 Page 52 of 96 City of Vernon Vernon Public Utilities Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 27 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) H. Prepaid Items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements by using purchase method. The VPU made a prepayment to Southern California Public Power Authority (“SCPPA”) for the VPU’s share of SCPPA’s payoff of the Hoover Center and Air Slots debt. This prepaid amount is amortized over the life of the debt based on the annual debt service obligations. See Note 11 for further information regarding SCPPA. I. Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are valued at their acquisition value. Capital assets include intangible assets with indefinite lives and public domain (infrastructure) general capital assets consisting of certain improvements including roads and bridges, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and traffic light systems. The capitalization threshold for all capital assets is $5,000. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives in the government-wide and proprietary funds statements. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Assets Years Utility Plant 3-50 Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend useful lives, are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position. J. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources The statement of net position reports separate sections for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, when applicable. Deferred Outflows of Resources represents consumption of net assets that applies to future periods. Deferred Inflows of Resources represents acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods. K. Compensated Absences Accumulated vacation is accrued when incurred. Upon termination of employment, the VPU will pay the employee all accumulated vacation leave at 100% of the employee’s base hourly rate. .  .  Item 11 Page 53 of 96 City of Vernon Vernon Public Utilities Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 28 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) L. Long-Term Debt Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate activities. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Debt issuance costs except for any portion related to prepaid insurance were recognized as expense in the period incurred. Premium or discount not considered as part of the reacquisition price was amortized over the life of the bond. M. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The following timeframes are used for pension reporting: Valuation Date June 30, 2021 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period. N. Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions (OPEB) For the purpose of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s OPEB Plan and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value, except for money market investments, which are reported at amortized cost. The following timeframes are reported OPEB reporting: Valuation Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 .  .  Item 11 Page 54 of 96 City of Vernon Vernon Public Utilities Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 29 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) N. Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions (OPEB) (Continued) Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense. The amortization period differs depending on the sources of gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) at the beginning of the measurement period. O. Net Position The VPU financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is classified as follows. Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of retention payable and debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets, and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources, net of unspent debt proceeds. Restricted – This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Unrestricted – This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position. When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, the VPU’s policy is to apply the restricted component of net position first, then the unrestricted component of net position as needed. P. Use of Estimates The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 2 – Cash and Cash Equivalents The VPU has the following cash and investments at June 30, 2023: Cash and investments 153,374,024$ Restricted cash and investments 36,427,615 Total cash and investments 189,801,639$ .  .  Item 11 Page 55 of 96 City of Vernon Vernon Public Utilities Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 30 Note 2 – Cash and Cash Equivalents (Continued) The VPU’s cash and investments at June 30, 2023, in more detail: Equity in pooled cash 28,046,792$ Deposits with financial institutions 9,802,498 Investments 151,952,349 Total cash and investments 189,801,639$ A.

This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating, by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s at June 30, 2023 for each investment type: Fair Value Minimum Not Required at Legal to be Investment Type June 30, 2023 Rating AAA Other Rated Local Agency Investment Fund 636,435$ Not Rated -$ -$ 636,435$ Money Market Funds 85,179,474 AAA 85,179,474 - - US Treasury bills 29,402,775 N/A 29,402,775 - - Negotiable Certificates of Deposit 496,620 N/A - 496,620 - Investment with fiscal agent: Money Market Funds 36,237,045 36,237,045 - - Total 151,952,349$ 150,819,294$ 496,620$ 636,435$ Concentration of Credit Risk The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer excluding a 10% limitation on commercial papers, mutual funds, and money market mutual funds and a 30% limitation on banker’ acceptances. The City’s investment policy places no limit on the amount of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee that the trustee may invest in one issuer that is governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the City, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy. Custodial Credit Risk The 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 deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of a third party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of the third party. At June 30, 2023, none of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk.

The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets, errors, and omissions; injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The City utilizes insurance policy(s) to transfer these risks. Each policy has either self-insured retention or deductible, which are parts of the City’s risk financing program. These expenses are paid on a cash basis as they are incurred. There have been no significant settlements or deductions in insurance coverage during the past three fiscal years. Starting in fiscal year 2010, the City chose to establish risk financing in the City’s General Fund, whereby assets are set aside for claim-litigation settlements associated with the abovementioned risks up to their self-insured retentions or policy deductibles. Athens Administrators Inc. is the third-party administrator for the City’s workers’ compensation program and they provide basic services for general liability claims and litigation. .  .  Item 11 Page 66 of 96 City of Vernon Vernon Public Utilities Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 41 Note 8 – Risk Management (Continued) The insurance limits for the fiscal year 2023 are as follows: Insurance Type Program Limits Deductible/SIR (Self-Insured Retention) 1st Excess Liability $5,000,000 $2 Million $3 Million Law Enforcement 2nd Excess Liability $5,000,000 $5,000,000 3rd Excess Liability $5,000,000 $10,000,000 4th Excess Liability $5,000,000 $15,000,000 Excess Workers Compensation $50,000,000 $1,000,000 $1.5 Million Presumptive Loss Property - Power Generating $100,000,000 Various Property - Residential $7,950,653 $2,500 Property - Municipal $59,614,930 $25,000 Commercial Propert/EQ and FL $50,000,000 - Government Crime $1,000,000 $25,000 Premise Pollution/Environmental Impairment $5,000,000 $25,000 $5,000,000 per Claim $50,000 Utility Locs. $100,000 Natural Gas Pipeline Cyber Liability $5,000,000 $100,000 Auto Physical Damage $10,000,000 $5,000 Residential Property Insurance $7,950,653 $2,500 Terrorism $100 Million Property Terroris m $0 $5 Million Terrorism Liabilty $5 Million Active Shooter Special Events $2,000,000 $1,000,000 Each Occurrence Note 9 – Pension Plan A.

There is no special age requirement. The standard non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent of final compensation, multiplied by service years. Industrial disability benefits are not offered to miscellaneous employees. The City provides industrial disability retirement benefits to safety employees only. The industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 50 percent of final compensation. .  .  Item 11 Page 68 of 96 City of Vernon Vernon Public Utilities Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 43 Note 9 – Pension Plan (Continued) A. General Information about the Pension Plans (Continued) Benefits Provided (Continued) An employee's beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee becomes deceased while actively employed. The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other pre-retirement death benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5 percent per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six months’ salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death. Upon the death of a retiree, a one-time lump sum payment of $500 will be made to the retiree’s designated survivor(s), or to the retiree’s estate. Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each employee’s retirement allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis up to 2 percent. Contributions Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. 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 to the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the year ended Jun 30, 2023, the VPU’s share of employer contributions made to the plans was $3,716,823. B. Net Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions Assumptions The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2022, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021, rolled forward to June 30, 2022, using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below. Actuarial Cost Method Actuarial Assumptions: Discount Rate Inflation Salary Increases Mortality Rate Table(1) Post Retirement Benefit Increase (1)The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERSExperience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries.

Net Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions (Continued) 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. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows: Assumed Asset Asset Class1 Allocation Real Return1,2 Global Equity - Cap-weighted 30.00% 4.54% Global Equity - Non-Cap-weighted 12.00% 3.80% Private Equity 13.00% 7.28% Treasury 5.00% 0.27% Mortgage-backed Securities 5.00% 0.50% Investment Grade Corporates 10.00% 1.56% High Yield 5.00% 2.27% Emerging Market Debt 5.00% 2.48% Private Debt 5.00% 3.57% Real Assets 15.00% 3.21% Leverage -5.00% -0.59% 100% 1 An expected inflation of 2.30% used for this period. 2 Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study. Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on the 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. .  .  Item 11 Page 70 of 96 City of Vernon Vernon Public Utilities Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 45 Note 9 – Pension Plan (Continued) B. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions (Continued) Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability – Allocation of the City’s Pension Plans to the VPU The VPU’s net pension liability for the Plans is measured as the proportionate share of the aggregate net pension liability of the City’s miscellaneous agent multiple-employer plan and safety cost-sharing plan. The VPU’s proportionate share of the aggregate net pension liability was based on the VPU’s current year share of contributions of the pension plans relative to the City’s total current year contributions to the pension plans.

General Information about the OPEB Plan The other postemployment benefits (“OPEB”) described in the following paragraphs relate to the City’s OPEB plan. The VPU’s share of the net pension liability of the City’s OPEB Plan is reported as a cost-sharing plan in these financial statements since the VPU’s operations are handled by City employees who are eligible to participate in the City’s OPEB plan. Benefits Provided Generally, the City will provide a postemployment benefit plan for the employee only to those who retire at age sixty (60) or later with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service up to the age of sixty-five (65). Alternatively, employees who retire before the age of sixty (60) with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service, will be permitted to pay their medical and dental premium cost and upon reaching the age of fifty (50), the City will pay the premium for the medical and dental plans until they reach the age of sixty-five (65). Resolution 2011-129 provided lifetime medical benefits to Police Management employees and their spouses, who have been employed as sworn safety personnel for a minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10) years of that service have been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2011-127 sets forth the MOU of the Vernon Police Officers’ Benefit Association, provided lifetime medical benefits to those employees and their spouses, who have been employed as sworn safety personnel for a minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10) years of that service has been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2012-217 granted specific retiree medical benefits to employees who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal year in order to provide an incentive for early retirement whereby the City authorized the payment of medical and dental insurance premiums for eligible retiring employees and their eligible dependents with at least ten (10) years of service plus 5% for each additional full year of service above the ten (10) years of service, and that this offer be extended as an option to safety and safety management groups, at their discretion, in addition to the related options provided in the Vernon Firefighters Association MOU and the Vernon Police Officers’ Benefit Association MOU. Resolution 2013-06 declared that the retiree medical benefits which had not been a vested right for employees will continue to be nonvested right for employees who continue to be employed by the City on or after July 1, 2013, but will become a vested right for those who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The City’s plan is considered a substantive OPEB plan and the City recognizes cost in accordance with GASB Statement No 75. The City may terminate its unvested OPEB in the future. Contributions The City has established an irrevocable OPEB trust with assets dedicated to paying future retiree medical benefits. The City intends to contribute 100% or more of the actuarially determined contribution for the explicit subsidy liability only. The portion of the liability due to the implicit subsidy is not prefunded but is paid as benefits come due. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the VPU’s proportionate share of contribution made to the trust was $354,744, and $362,434 for retiree premiums, resulting in a total contribution of $717,178. .  .  Item 11 Page 73 of 96 City of Vernon Vernon Public Utilities Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 48 Note 10 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) B. Net OPEB Liabilities, OPEB Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of resources related to OPEB The OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2022, and total liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022. Significant Actuarial Assumptions Used for Total OPEB Liability The total OPEB liability, measured as of June 30, 2022, was determined using the following actuarial assumptions: Actuarial Cost Method Actuarial Assumptions: Asset Valuation Method Inflation Salary Increases Long Term return on Assets Discount Rate Mortality Improvement Healthcare Trend CalPERS 2021 Experience Study; Project with MP Scale Based on 2022 Getzen model with in inflation rate of 7.00% non-Medicare / 5.50% Medicare decreasing gradually to an ultimate rate of 3.73% by 2075 6.00% Entry Age Normal Market value of assets 2.30% 2.80% wage inflation plus seniority, merit, and promotion salary increases based on CalPERS Expenditure Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions published in November 2021 6.00% Change in assumptions Discount rate changed from 6.25% at June 30, 2021 to 6.00% at June 30, 2022. Healthcare trend rate assumption and mortality improvement scale were updated. Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.00%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

Sandpointe Avenue, Suite 600 Santa Ana, California 92707 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Electric Enterprise Fund (the “Electric Fund”) of the City of Vernon, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Electric Fund as of June 30, 2023, and the change in financial position, and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”), and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 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 out audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements present only the Electric Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2023, the changes in its financial position, or its cash flows for the year then, ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Responsibility of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. .  .  Item 11 Page 27 of 84 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Page 2 2 Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:  exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management Discussion and Analysis, the Schedule of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedule of Contributions – Pensions, the Schedule of the Proportionate Share of the Net Other Postemployment Benefits Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedule of the Contributions – Other Postemployment Benefits be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by Government Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the Required Supplementary Information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. .  .  Item 11 Page 28 of 84 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Page 3 3 Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in this annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory Section but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinion 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 February 8, 2024 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management encourages readers to utilize information in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) in conjunction with the accompanying basic financial statements. OVERVIEW OF BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The MD&A is intended to serve as an introduction to the Electric Fund’s basic financial statements. Included as part of the financial statements are three separate statements. The statement of net position presents information on the Electric Fund’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources and total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position. The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position presents information showing how the Electric Fund's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. Financial results are recorded using the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, all changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying events occur, regardless of the timing of cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses reported in this statement for some items may affect cash flows in a future fiscal period (examples include billed but uncollected revenues and employee earned but unused vacation leave). The statement of cash flows reports cash receipts, cash payments, and net changes in cash and cash equivalents from operations, noncapital financing, capital and related financing, and investing activities. The notes to the financial statements provide essential additional information. .  .  Item 11 Page 31 of 84 City of Vernon, California Electric Fund Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued) Year ended June 30, 2023 6 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Net Position The table below summarizes the Electric Fund’s net position as of the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, and the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

The Electric Fund accounts for the independent operations and the maintenance of the City’s electric utility. The Electric Fund is administered as an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording resources, related liabilities, obligations, reserves, and equities, segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. For additional information regarding the City of Vernon, refer to the City’s annual financial report. The financial statements of the Electric Fund have been prepared in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The Electric Fund’s significant accounting policies are described below. A. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus The Electric Fund’s financial statements are reported using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The Electric Fund distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the sale of electricity. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities. Operating expenses include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating expenses. B. Pooled Cash Part of the Electric Fund’s operating cash balance is pooled with other City funds for deposit purposes. The share of each fund in the pooled cash account is recorded in each of the fund’s book of accounts, and interest income is apportioned to the participating funds based on the relationship of their average monthly balances to the total of the pooled cash. C. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Electric Fund considers all highly liquid investments (including restricted cash and investments) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investment transactions are recorded on the settlement date. Investments in nonparticipating interest- earning investment contracts are reported at cost and all other investments are reported at fair value. .  .  Item 11 Page 49 of 84 Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 24 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) D. Fair Value Measurement U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes disclosure about fair value measurement. Investments, unless otherwise specified at fair value in the financial statements, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Levels of inputs are as follows:  Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.  Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities at the measurement date. E. Interfund Transactions Outstanding short-term borrowing between funds are reported as “due from/to other funds City funds”. Long-term interfund loans are classified as “advances to/from other City funds” on the statement of net position. F. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Allowances for uncollectible accounts were $1,135,631 as of June 30, 2023. Utility customers are billed monthly. The estimated value of services provided, but unbilled at year-end has been included in the accompanying statement of net position. G. Prepaid Items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements by using purchase method. The Electric Fund made a prepayment to Southern California Public Power Authority (“SCPPA”) for the Electric Fund’s share of SCPPA’s payoff of the Hoover Center and Air Slots debt. This prepaid amount is amortized over the life of the debt based on the annual debt service obligations. See Note 10 for further information regarding SCPPA H. Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are valued at their acquisition value. Capital assets include intangible assets with indefinite lives and public domain (infrastructure) general capital assets consisting of certain improvements including roads and bridges, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and traffic light systems. The capitalization threshold for all capital assets is $5,000. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives in the government-wide and proprietary funds statements. .  .  Item 11 Page 50 of 84 Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 25 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) H. Capital Assets (Continued) Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Utility Infrastructure and Buildings 25 to 50 Years Improvements 10 to 20 Years Machinery and Equipment 3 to 35 Years Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend useful lives, are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position. I. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources The statement of net position reports separate sections for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, when applicable. Deferred Outflows of Resources represents consumption of net assets that applies to future periods. Deferred Inflows of Resources represents acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods. J. Compensated Absences Accumulated vacation is accrued when incurred. Upon termination of employment, the Electric Fund will pay the employee all accumulated vacation leave at 100% of the employee’s base hourly rate. K. Long-Term Debt Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate activities. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Debt issuance costs except for any portion related to prepaid insurance were recognized as expense in the period incurred. Premium or discount not considered as part of the reacquisition price was amortized over the life of the bond. L. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The following timeframes are used for pension reporting: Valuation Date June 30, 2021 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 .  .  Item 11 Page 51 of 84 Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 26 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) L. Pensions (Continued) Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period. M. Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions (“OPEB”) For the purpose of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s OPEB Plan and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value, except for money market investments, which are reported at amortized cost. The following timeframes are reported OPEB reporting: Valuation Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense. The amortization period differs depending on the sources of gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) at the beginning of the measurement period. N. Net Position The Electric Fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is classified as follows. Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of retention payable and debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets, and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources, net of unspent debt proceeds. .  .  Item 11 Page 52 of 84 Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 27 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) N. Net Position (Continued) Restricted – This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Unrestricted – This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position. When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, the City’s policy is to apply the restricted component of net position first, then the unrestricted component of net position as needed. O. Use of Estimates The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 2 – Cash and Cash Equivalents The Electric Fund has the following cash and investments at June 30, 2023: Cash and investments 117,511,564$ Restricted cash and investments 34,278,926 Total cash and investments 151,790,490$ The Electric Fund cash and investments at June 30, 2023, in more detail: Equity in pooled cash 21,994,411$ Deposits with financial institutions 2,494,609 Investments 127,301,470 Total cash and investments 151,790,490$ A. Equity in the Cash Pool of the City of Vernon The Electric Fund has equity in the cash pool managed by the City. The Electric Fund is a voluntary participant in that pool and the pool is governed by and under the regulatory oversight of the Investment Policy adopted by the City Council of the City. The Electric Fund has not adopted an investment policy separate from that of the City. The amount of the Electric Fund’s cash in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements based upon the Electric Fund’s pro rata share of the amount calculated by the City. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by the City. .  .  Item 11 Page 53 of 84 Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 28 Note 2 – Cash and Cash Equivalents (Continued) B.

As of June 30, 2023, the Electric Fund had $636,435 invested in LAIF. The fair value of the Electric Fund’s portion in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares and reported at amortized cost. D.

Risk Disclosures Interest Rate Risk - As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates, the City’s investment policy limits investments to a maximum maturity of five years. At June 30, 2023, the Electric Fund had the following investment maturities: 1 Year 1 Year to 3 Years to Investment Type or Less 3 Years 5 Years Total Local Agency Investment Fund 636,435$ -$ -$ 636,435$ Money Market Funds 62,677,283 - - 62,677,283 US Treasury bills 29,402,775 - - 29,402,775 Negotiable Certificates of Deposit - 247,137 249,483 496,620 Investment with fiscal agent: Money Market Funds 34,088,357 - - 34,088,357 Total 126,804,850$ 247,137$ 249,483$ 127,301,470$ Remaining Maturity (In Months) 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. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating, by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s at June 30, 2023 for each investment type: Fair Value Minimum Not Required at Legal to be Investment Type June 30, 2023 Rating AAA Other Rated Local Agency Investment Fund 636,435$ Not Rated -$ -$ 636,435$ Money market funds 62,677,283 AAA 62,677,283 - - US Treasury bills 29,402,775 N/A 29,402,775 - - Negotiable Certificates of Deposit 496,620 N/A - 496,620 - Investment with fiscal agent: Money Market Funds 34,088,357 34,088,357 - - Total 127,301,470$ 126,168,415$ 496,620$ 636,435$ N/A - Not Required Concentration of Credit Risk – The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer excluding a 10% limitation on commercial papers, mutual funds, and money market mutual funds and a 30% limitation on banker’ acceptances. The City’s investment policy places no limit on the amount of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee that the trustee may invest in one issuer that is governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the City, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy. Custodial Credit Risk – The 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 deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of a third party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of the third party. At June 30, 2023, none of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk. .  .  Item 11 Page 55 of 84 Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 30 Note 3 – Accounts Receivable The Electric Fund’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2023 are as follows: Accounts receivabe 14,728,122$ Less: allowance for uncollectible accounts (1,135,631) Total accounts receivable, net 13,592,491$ Note 4 – Interfund Transactions A.

General Information about the Pension Plans (Continued) Benefits Provided (Continued) An employee's beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee becomes deceased while actively employed. The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other pre-retirement death benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5 percent per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six months' salary. For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death. Upon the death of a retiree, a one-time lump sum payment of $500 will be made to the retiree’s designated survivor(s), or to the retiree’s estate. Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each employee’s retirement allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis up to 2 percent. Contributions Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. 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 to the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the year ended Jun 30, 2023, the Electric Fund’ share of employer contributions made to the plans was $3,021,673. B. Net Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions Assumptions The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2022, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021, rolled forward to June 30, 2022, using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.

Net Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions (Continued) 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. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows: Assumed Asset Allocation Global Equity - Cap-weighted 30.00% 4.54% Global Equity - Non-Cap-weighted 12.00% 3.80% Private Equity 13.00% 7.28% Treasury 5.00% 0.27% Mortgage-backed Securities 5.00% 0.50% Investment Grade Corporates 10.00% 1.56% High Yield 5.00% 2.27% Emerging Market Debt 5.00% 2.48% Private Debt 5.00% 3.57% Real Assets 15.00% 3.21% Leverage -5.00% -0.59% 100% 1 An expected inflation of 2.30% used for this period. 2 Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study. Asset Class1 Real Return1,2 Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on the 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. .  .  Item 11 Page 66 of 84 Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 41 Note 8 – Pension Plan (Continued) B. Net Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions (Continued) Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability – Allocation of the City’s Pension Plans to the Electric Fund The Electric Fund’s net pension liability for the Plans is measured as the proportionate share of the aggregate net pension liability of the City’s miscellaneous agent multiple-employer plan and safety cost-sharing plan. The Electric Fund’s proportionate share of the aggregate net pension liability was based on the Electric Fund’s current year share of contributions of the pension plans relative to the City’s total current year contributions to the pension plans. The Electric Fund’s proportionate share of the aggregate net pension liability for the pension plans as of the measurement dare ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 were as follows: Total Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Net Pension Liability Position Liability/(Asset) Proportionate (a) (b) (c) = (a) - (b) Share Balance at 6/30/21 (Valuation Date) 69,252,712$ 56,791,532$ 12,461,180$ 14.16% Balance at 6/30/22 (Measurement Date) 96,273,975 66,718,355 29,555,620 18.74% Net Changes during 2021-2022 27,021,263 9,926,823 17,094,440 4.58% Increase (Decrease) Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources For the measurement period ended June 30, 2022, the Electric Fund recognized its proportionate share of the aggregate pension expense totaled $792,954.

General Information about the OPEB Plan The other postemployment benefits (“OPEB”) described in the following paragraphs relate to the City’s OPEB plan. The Electric Fund’s share of the net pension liability of the City’s OPEB Plan is reported as a cost-sharing plan in these financial statements since the Electric Fund’s operations are handled by City employees who are eligible to participate in the City’s OPEB plan. Benefits Provided Generally, the City will provide a postemployment benefit plan for the employee only to those who retire at age sixty (60) or later with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service up to the age of sixty-five (65). Alternatively, employees who retire before the age of sixty (60) with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service, will be permitted to pay their medical and dental premium cost and upon reaching the age of fifty (50), the City will pay the premium for the medical and dental plans until they reach the age of sixty-five (65). Resolution 2011-129 provided lifetime medical benefits to Police Management employees and their spouses, who have been employed as sworn safety personnel for a minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10) years of that service have been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2011-127 sets forth the MOU of the Vernon Police Officers’ Benefit Association, provided lifetime medical benefits to those employees and their spouses, who have been employed as sworn safety personnel for a minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10) years of that service has been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2012-217 granted specific retiree medical benefits to employees who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal year in order to provide an incentive for early retirement whereby the City authorized the payment of medical and dental insurance premiums for eligible retiring employees and their eligible dependents with at least ten (10) years of service plus 5% for each additional full year of service above the ten (10) years of service, and that this offer be extended as an option to safety and safety management groups, at their discretion, in addition to the related options provided in the Vernon Firefighters Association MOU and the Vernon Police Officers’ Benefit Association MOU. Resolution 2013-06 declared that the retiree medical benefits which had not been a vested right for employees will continue to be nonvested right for employees who continue to be employed by the City on or after July 1, 2013, but will become a vested right for those who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The City’s plan is considered a substantive OPEB plan and the City recognizes cost in accordance with GASB Statement No 75. The City may terminate its unvested OPEB in the future. Contributions The City has established an irrevocable OPEB trust with assets dedicated to paying future retiree medical benefits. The City intends to contribute 100% or more of the actuarially determined contribution for the explicit subsidy liability only. The portion of the liability due to the implicit subsidy is not prefunded but is paid as benefits come due. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Electric Fund’s proportionate share of contributions made to the trust was $288,336, and $294,586 for retiree premiums, resulting in a total contribution of $582,922. B. Net OPEB Liabilities, OPEB Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB The OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2022, and total liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022. .  .  Item 11 Page 69 of 84 Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 44 Note 9 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) B. Net OPEB Liabilities, OPEB Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB (Continued) Significant Actuarial Assumptions Used for Total OPEB Liability The total OPEB liability, measured as of June 30, 2022, was determined using the following actuarial assumptions: Actuarial Cost Method Actuarial Assumptions: Asset Valuation Method Inflation Salary Increases Long Term return on Assets Discount Rate Mortality Improvement Healthcare Trend 6.00% Entry Age Normal Market value of assets 2.30% 2.80% wage inflation plus seniority, merit, and promotion salary increases based on CalPERS Expenditure Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions published in November 2021 6.00% CalPERS 2021 Experience Study; Project with MP Scale Based on 2022 Getzen model with in inflation rate of 7.00% non-Medicare / 5.50% Medicare decreasing gradually to an ultimate rate of 3.73% by 2075 Change in assumptions Discount rate changed from 6.25% at June 30, 2021 to 6.00% at June 30, 2022. Healthcare trend rate assumption and mortality improvement scale were updated. Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.00%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

Note 10 – Southern California Public Power Authority The Southern California Public Power Authority (the “SCPPA”) was formed in 1980 as a not for profit joint powers agency. SCPPA is currently comprised of 11 Southern California cities and an irrigation district. The SCPPA’s purpose is planning, financing, acquiring, constructing, and operating of projects that generate or transmit electric energy for sale to its participants. The joint powers agreement has a term expiring in 2030 or such later date as all bonds and notes of SCPPA and interest thereon have been paid in full or adequate provisions for payments have been made. A copy of SCPPA’s audited financial statements can be reviewed on their website at www.scppa.org or can be obtained by written request at 1160 Nicole Ct Glendora, CA 91740. A. Take or Pay Contract The SCPPA’s interest of entitlements in natural gas generation, and transmission projects are jointly owned with other utilities. Under these arrangements, a participating member has an undivided interest in a utility plant and is responsible for its proportionate share of the costs of construction and operation and is entitled to its proportionate share of the energy, available transmission capacity, or natural gas produced. Each joint plant participant, including the SCPPA, is responsible for financing its share of construction and operating costs. The City has the following “take or pay” contract with the SCPPA: .  .  Item 11 Page 72 of 84 Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 47 Note 10 – Southern California Public Power Authority (Continued) A. Take or Pay Contract (Continued) Palo Verde Project The SCPPA purchases a 5.91% interest in the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (the “Station”), a nuclear- fired generating station near Phoenix, Arizona, from Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, and a 6.55% share of the right to use certain portions of the Arizona Nuclear Power Project Valley Transmission System. The City has a 4.9% entitlement share of the SCPPA’s interest in the station. Between 1983 and 2008, the SCPPA issued $3.266 billion in debt of Power Project Revenue Bonds for the Station to finance the bonds and the purchase of the SCPPA’s share of the Station and related transmission right. The bonds are not obligations of any member of the SCPPA or public agency other than the SCPPA. Under a power sales contract with the SCPPA, the City is obliged on a “take or pay” basis for its proportionate share of power generated, as well as to make payments for its proportionate share of the operating and maintenance expenses of the Station, debt service on the bonds and any other debt, whether or not the project or any part thereof or its output is suspended, reduced or terminated. The City took its proportionate share of the power generated and its proportionate share of costs during the fiscal year 2023 was $3,730,000. The City expects no significant increases in costs related to its nuclear resources. B. Power Purchase Commitments The SCPPA has entered into power purchase agreements with project participants. These agreements are substantially “take-and-pay” contracts where there may be other obligations not associated with the of energy. The City has entered into power purchase agreements with the SCPPA related to the following projects: Astoria 2 Solar Project On July 23, 2014, the SCPPA entered into a power purchase agreement with Recurrent Energy for solar energy from the Astoria 2 Solar Project.

With this upgrade, the fiber system is now capable of providing seamless and uninterrupted internet services to more customers, even during peak usage hours. Moreover, the upgraded fiber system not only meets the current needs of customers but also secures the future growth of the fiber network. The new equipment and technology installed during the upgrade are designed to extend the life expectancy of the system and support future expansion and upgrades. The VPU Fiber Optics Division can confidently meet the increasing demand for high-speed internet services, ensuring the continued reliability and overall satisfaction of our customers. .  .  Item 11 Page 25 of 78 xxii This page intentionally left blank. .  .  Item 11 Page 26 of 78 2121 North California Blvd., Suite 290 Walnut Creek, California 94596 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Report on the Audit of the Vernon Public Utilities Financial Statements Opinions We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Water Enterprise Fund (the “Water Fund”) of the City of Vernon, California (the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Water Fund as of June 30, 2023, and the change in financial position, and cash flows thereof for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”), and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (“Government Auditing Standards”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 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 requirements relating to out audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements present only the Water Fund and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2023, the changes in its financial position, or its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Responsibility of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. .  .  Item 11 Page 27 of 78 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Page 2 2 Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:  exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management Discussion and Analysis, the Schedule of the Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedule of the Contributions – Pensions, the Schedule of the Proportionate Share of the Net Other Postemployment Benefits Liability and Related Ratios, and the Schedule of the Contributions – Other Postemployment Benefits be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by Government Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the Required Supplementary Information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. .  .  Item 11 Page 28 of 78 To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Vernon Vernon, California Page 3 3 Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in this annual report. The other information comprises the Introductory Section but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinion 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 February 8, 2024 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management encourages readers to utilize information in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) in conjunction with the accompanying basic financial statements. OVERVIEW OF BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The MD&A is intended to serve as an introduction to the Water Fund’s basic financial statements. Included as part of the financial statements are three separate statements. The statement of net position presents information on the Water Fund’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources and total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position. The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position presents information showing how the Water Fund's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. Financial results are recorded using the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, all changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying events occur, regardless of the timing of cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses reported in this statement for some items may affect cash flows in a future fiscal period (examples include billed but uncollected revenues and employee earned but unused vacation leave). The statement of cash flows reports cash receipts, cash payments, and net changes in cash and cash equivalents from operations, noncapital financing, capital and related financing, and investing activities. The notes to the financial statements provide additional information essential to understand the data provided in the financial statements fully. .  .  Item 11 Page 31 of 78 City of Vernon, California Water Fund Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)(Continued) Year ended June 30, 2023 6 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Net Position The table below summarizes the Water Fund’s net position as of the current fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2023, and the prior fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2022.

The Water Fund accounts for the independent operations and the maintenance of the City’s water utility. The Water Fund is administered as an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording resources, related liabilities, obligations, reserves, and equities, segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. For additional information regarding the City of Vernon, refer to the City’s annual Financial report. The financial statements of the Water Fund have been prepared in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The Water Fund’s significant accounting policies are described below. A. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus The Water Fund’s financial statements are reported using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The Water Fund distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the sale of electricity and gas. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities. Operating expenses include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating expenses. B. Pooled Cash Part of the Water Fund’s operating cash balance is pooled with other City funds for deposit purposes. The share of each fund in the pooled cash account is recorded in each of the funds’ book of accounts, and interest income is apportioned to the participating funds based on the relationship of their average monthly balances to the total of the pooled cash. C. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Water Fund considers all highly liquid investments (including restricted cash and investments) with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investment transactions are recorded on the settlement date. Investments in nonparticipating interest- earning investment contracts are reported at cost and all other investments are reported at fair value. .  .  Item 11 Page 49 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 24 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies D. Interfund Transactions Outstanding short-term borrowing between funds are reported as “due from/to other funds City funds”. Long-term interfund loans are classified as “advances to/from other City funds” on the statement of net position. E. Accounts Receivables Accounts receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Allowances for uncollectible accounts were $48,256 as of June 30, 2023. Utility customers are billed monthly. The estimated value of services provided, but unbilled at year-end has been included in the accompanying statement of net position. F. Prepaid Items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements by using purchase method. G. Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are valued at their acquisition value. Capital assets include intangible assets with indefinite lives and public domain (infrastructure) general capital assets consisting of certain improvements including roads and bridges, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and traffic light systems. The capitalization threshold for all capital assets is $5,000. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives in the government-wide and proprietary funds statements. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Assets Years Utility Plant 3-50 Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend useful lives, are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position. H. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources The statement of net position reports separate sections for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources, when applicable. Deferred Outflows of Resources represents consumption of net assets that applies to future periods. Deferred Inflows of Resources represents acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods. I. Compensated Absences Accumulated vacation is accrued when incurred. Upon termination of employment, the Water Fund will pay the employee all accumulated vacation leave at 100% of the employee’s base hourly rate. .  .  Item 11 Page 50 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 25 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) J. Long-Term Obligations Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate activities. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Debt issuance costs except for any portion related to prepaid insurance were recognized as expense in the period incurred. Premium or discount not considered as part of the reacquisition price was amortized over the life of the bond. K. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans and additions to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The following timeframes are used for pension reporting: Valuation Date June 30, 2021 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement period. L. Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) For the purpose of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s OPEB Plan and additions to/deductions from the OPEB Plan’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value, except for money market investments, which are reported at amortized cost. The following timeframes are reported OPEB reporting: Valuation Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Gains and losses related to changes in total OPEB liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in OPEB expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in OPEB expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB and are to be recognized in future OPEB expense. .  .  Item 11 Page 51 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 26 Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) L. Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) The amortization period differs depending on the sources of gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) at the beginning of the measurement period. M. Net Position The Water Fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is classified as follows. Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of retention payable and debt that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets, and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources, net of unspent debt proceeds. Restricted – This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Unrestricted – This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in capital assets or the restricted component of net position. When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available, the City’s policy is to apply the restricted component of net position first, then the unrestricted component of net position as needed. N. Use of Estimates The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 2 – Cash and Cash Equivalents The Water Fund has the following cash and investments at June 30, 2023: Cash and investments 17,994,763$ Restricted cash and investments 2,148,689 Total cash and investments 20,143,452$ The Water Fund cash and investments at June 30, 2023, in more detail: Equity in pooled cash 3,539,326$ Deposits with financial institutions 16,540 Investments 16,587,586 Total cash and investments 20,143,452$ .  .  Item 11 Page 52 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 27 Note 2 – Cash and Cash Equivalents (Continued) A.

This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating, by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s at June 30, 2023 for each investment type: Fair Value Minimum at Legal Investment Type June 30, 2023 Rating AAA Money Market Funds 14,438,897 AAA 14,438,897 Investment with fiscal agent: Money Market Funds 2,148,689 AAA 2,148,689 Total 16,587,586$ 16,587,586$ Concentration of Credit Risk – The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer excluding a 10% limitation on commercial papers, mutual funds, and money market mutual funds and a 30% limitation on banker’ acceptances. The City’s investment policy places no limit on the amount of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee that the trustee may invest in one issuer that is governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the City, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy. Custodial Credit Risk – The 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 deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of a third party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of the third party. At June 30, 2023, none of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk.

Note 7 – Risk Management The Water Fund is in the City’s self-insurance program as part of its policy to self-insure certain levels of risk within certain separate lines of coverage to maximize cost savings. The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets, errors, and omissions; injuries to employees, and natural disasters. The City utilizes insurance policy(s) to transfer these risks. Each policy has either self-insured retention or deductible, which are parts of the City’s Risk Financing Program. These expenses are paid on a cash basis as they are incurred. There have been no significant settlements or deductions in insurance coverage during the past three fiscal years. Starting in Fiscal 2010, the City chose to establish Risk Financing in the General Fund, whereby assets are set aside for claim-litigation settlements associated with the abovementioned risks up to their self-insured retentions or policy deductibles. Athens Administrators Inc. is the Third-Party Administrator for the City’s workers’ compensation program and they provide basic services for general liability claims and litigation. .  .  Item 11 Page 57 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 32 Note 7 – Risk Management (Continued) The insurance limits for the fiscal year 2023 are as follows: Insurance Type Program Limits Deductible/SIR (Self-Insured Retention) 1st Excess Liability $5,000,000 $2 Million $3 Million Law Enforcement 2nd Excess Liability $5,000,000 $5,000,000 3rd Excess Liability $5,000,000 $10,000,000 4th Excess Liability $5,000,000 $15,000,000 Excess Workers Compensation $50,000,000 $1,000,000 $1.5 Million Presumptive Loss Property - Power Generating $100,000,000 Various Property - Residential $7,950,653 $2,500 Property - Municipal $59,614,930 $25,000 Commercial Propert/EQ and F L $50,000,000 - Government Crime $1,000,000 $25,000 Premise Pollution/Environmental Impairment $5,000,000 $25,000 $5,000,000 per Claim $50,000 Utility Locs. $100,000 Natural Gas Pipeline Cyber Liability $5,000,000 $100,000 Auto Physical Damage $10,000,000 $5,000 Residential Property Insurance $7,950,653 $2,500 Terrorism $100 Million Property Terrorism $0 $5 Million Terrorism Liabilty $5 Million Active Shooter Special Events $2,000,000 $1,000,000 Each Occurrence Note 8 – Pension Plan A.

There is no special age requirement. The standard non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent of final compensation, multiplied by service years. Industrial disability benefits are not offered to miscellaneous employees. The City provides industrial disability retirement benefits to safety employees only. The industrial disability retirement benefit is a monthly allowance equal to 50 percent of final compensation. An employee's beneficiary may receive the basic death benefit if the employee becomes deceased while actively employed. The employee must be actively employed with the City to be eligible for this benefit. An employee's survivor who is eligible for any other pre-retirement death benefit may choose to receive that death benefit instead of this basic death benefit. The basic death benefit is a lump sum in the amount of the employee's accumulated contributions, where interest is currently credited at 7.5 percent per year, plus a lump sum in the amount of one month's salary for each completed year of current service, up to a maximum of six months’ salary. .  .  Item 11 Page 59 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 34 Note 8 – Pension Plan (Continued) A. General Information about the Pension Plans (Continued) Benefits Provided (Continued) For purposes of this benefit, one month's salary is defined as the member's average monthly full-time rate of compensation during the 12 months preceding death. Upon the death of a retiree, a one-time lump sum payment of $500 will be made to the retiree’s designated survivor(s), or to the retiree’s estate. Benefit terms provide for annual cost-of-living adjustments to each employee’s retirement allowance. Beginning the second calendar year after the year of retirement, retirement and survivor allowances will be annually adjusted on a compound basis up to 2 percent. Contributions Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. 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 to the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. For the year ended Jun 30, 2023, the Water Fund’s share of employer contributions made to the plans was $470,851. B. Net Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions Assumptions The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2022, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2021, rolled forward to June 30, 2022, using standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below. Actuarial Cost Method Actuarial Assumptions: Discount Rate Inflation Salary Increases Mortality Rate Table(1) Post Retirement Benefit Increase The lesser of contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing Power Protection. Allowance floor on purchasing power applies, 2.30% thereafter (1)The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERSExperience Study for the period from 2001 to 2019. Pre-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please refer to the CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from November 2021 that can be found on the CalPERS website. Entry Age Normal 6.90% 2.30% Varies by Entry Age and Service Derived using CalPERS’ Membership Data for all Funds. 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. .  .  Item 11 Page 60 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 35 Note 8 – Pension Plan (Continued) B. Net Pension Liabilities, Pension Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions (Continued) Long-Term Expected Rate of Return (Continued) 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. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows: Assumed Asset Asset Class1 Allocation Real Return1,2 Global Equity - Cap-weighted 30.00%4.54% Global Equity - Non-Cap-weighted 12.00%3.80% Private Equity 13.00%7.28% Treasury 5.00%0.27% Mortgage-backed Securities 5.00%0.50% Investment Grade Corporates 10.00%1.56% High Yield 5.00%2.27% Emerging Market Debt 5.00%2.48% Private Debt 5.00%3.57% Real Assets 15.00%3.21% Leverage -5.00%-0.59% 100% 1 An expected inflation of 2.30% used for this period. 2 Figures are based on the 2021 Asset Liability Management study. Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on the 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. Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability – Allocation of the City’s Pension Plans to the Water Fund The Water Fund’s net pension liability for the Plans is measured as the proportionate share of the aggregate net pension liability of the City’s miscellaneous agent multiple-employer plans and safety cost-sharing plan. The Water Fund’s proportionate share of the aggregate net pension liability was based on the Water Fund’s current year share of contributions of the pension plans relative to the City’s total current year contributions to the pension plans. .  .  Item 11 Page 61 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 36 Note 8 – Pension Plan (Continued) B.

Note 9 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) A. General Information about the OPEB Plan The other postemployment benefits (“OPEB”) described in the following paragraphs relate to the City’s OPEB plan. The Water Fund’s share of the net pension liability of the City’s OPEB Plan is reported as a cost-sharing plan in these financial statements since the Water Fund’s operations are handled by City employees who are eligible to participate in the City’s OPEB plan. Benefits Provided Generally, the City will provide a postemployment benefit plan for the employee only to those who retire at age sixty (60) or later with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service up to the age of sixty-five (65). Alternatively, employees who retire before the age of sixty (60) with twenty (20) years of continuous uninterrupted service, will be permitted to pay their medical and dental premium cost and upon reaching the age of fifty (50), the City will pay the premium for the medical and dental plans until they reach the age of sixty-five (65). .  .  Item 11 Page 63 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 38 Note 9 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) A. General Information about the OPEB Plan (Continued) Benefits Provided (Continued) Resolution 2011-129 provided lifetime medical benefits to Police Management employees and their spouses, who have been employed as sworn safety personnel for a minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10) years of that service have been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2011-127 sets forth the MOU of the Vernon Police Officers’ Benefit Association, provided lifetime medical benefits to those employees and their spouses, who have been employed as sworn safety personnel for a minimum of twenty (20) years and a minimum of ten (10) years of that service has been with the City of Vernon. Resolution 2012-217 granted specific retiree medical benefits to employees who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal year in order to provide an incentive for early retirement whereby the City authorized the payment of medical and dental insurance premiums for eligible retiring employees and their eligible dependents with at least ten (10) years of service plus 5% for each additional full year of service above the ten (10) years of service, and that this offer be extended as an option to safety and safety management groups, at their discretion, in addition to the related options provided in the Vernon Firefighters Association MOU and the Vernon Police Officers’ Benefit Association MOU. Resolution 2013-06 declared that the retiree medical benefits which had not been a vested right for employees will continue to be nonvested right for employees who continue to be employed by the City on or after July 1, 2013, but will become a vested right for those who retire during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The City’s plan is considered a substantive OPEB plan and the City recognizes cost in accordance with GASB Statement No 75. The City may terminate its unvested OPEB in the future. Contributions The City has established an irrevocable OPEB trust with assets dedicated to paying future retiree medical benefits. The City intends to contribute 100% or more of the actuarially determined contribution for the explicit subsidy liability only. The portion of the liability due to the implicit subsidy is not prefunded but is paid as benefits come due. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Water Fund’s proportionate share of contributions made to the trust was $44,864, $45,836 for retiree premiums, resulting in a total contribution of $90,700. B. Net OPEB Liabilities, OPEB Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB The OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2022, and total liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022. .  .  Item 11 Page 64 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 39 Note 9 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) B. Net OPEB Liabilities, OPEB Expenses, and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB (Continued) Significant Actuarial Assumptions Used for Total OPEB Liability The total OPEB liability, measured as of June 30, 2022, was determined using the following actuarial assumptions: Actuarial Cost Method Actuarial Assumptions: Asset Valuation Method Inflation Salary Increases Long Term return on Assets Discount Rate Mortality Improvement Healthcare Trend 6.00% Entry Age Normal Market value of assets 2.30% 2.80% wage inflation plus seniority, merit, and promotion salary increases based on CalPERS Expenditure Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions published in November 2021 6.00% CalPERS 2021 Experience Study; Project with MP Scale Based on 2022 Getzen model with in inflation rate of 7.00% non-Medicare / 5.50% Medicare decreasing gradually to an ultimate rate of 3.73% by 2075 Change in assumptions Discount rate changed from 6.25% at June 30, 2021 to 6.00% at June 30, 2022. Healthcare trend rate assumption and mortality improvement scale were updated. Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.00%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability. Long-Term Expected Rate of Return The long-term expected rate of return was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are aggregate to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. .  .  Item 11 Page 65 of 78 Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended June 30, 2023 40 Note 9 – Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”) (Continued) B.

Background The Mid-Year Financial Update reflects continued efforts to provide timely and accurate financial information to assist the City Council with decision making and achievement of the City’s goals. As of December 31, 2023, the mid-year point of the current fiscal year, one would expect to be at the 50% mark for revenues and expenditures. However, certain factors may influence the timing, rate, or recognition of such. At mid-year, actual overall expenses for General Fund and Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) were at 44% and revenues were at 46% of budgeted amounts. Staff evaluated the trajectory of actual versus budgeted results and are providing the recommendations to appropriate additional funds for unforeseen circumstances that have arisen since the normal course of budget setting during the prior fiscal year. Pursuant to City Charter Chapter 8.5, Council may amend or supplement the budget by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Council. General Fund Viewing the General Fund as a whole, about 46% of the cumulative budgeted revenues were received as opposed to about 41% of cumulative budgeted expenditures. Due to the timing of disbursements, some revenue streams are not linear throughout the year. For example, property and parcel taxes were below the midpoint budgeted total, as the largest disbursements are received near the end of the fiscal year. Conversely, at the mid-year point, utility user tax received over 54% of the budgeted amount for FY 2023-24 due to the seasonality of electric usage. Investment income has greatly exceeded budgeted expectations 106% due to the higher yield rates and new investments in place. At mid-year, intergovernmental revenues were 18% of budget; however, most of these revenues reimburse corresponding approved Public Works expenditures that are billed when incurred and approved so it is dependent on this timing. At the end of December 2023, salaries and benefits were 42% of budgeted amount and maintenance and operations expenses were at target level; however, the capital projects and equipment category was only at 10% of the budgeted amount due to deferred projects, long lead times for equipment purchases, and other postponed capital expenditures. Enterprise Funds As of December 31, 2023, Electric revenues were at 48%, Gas revenues were at 33%, and revenues in the Water Fund were at 45% of budgeted amounts. Fiber Optic revenues were at 31% of budgeted revenue due to the year-end timing of interfund billing. As of mid-year, Gas and Water Funds were at 30% and 39% of budgeted expenditures respectively, Electric Fund was at about 46% of budgeted expenditures. Alternatively, Fiber Optic Fund expenditures have already exceeded the budgeted amount. This is mainly due to increased capital outlay expenses while undergoing major infrastructure upgrades that will give the utility a competitive advantage and .  .  Item 12 Page 1 of 2 help retain and attract more customers. Cash Position At mid-year, approximately 62% of the City’s cash funds are unrestricted, with Electric utility reserves exceeding 180 days of operating expenses. As stated in the FY 2022-23 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, the General Fund unassigned fund balance is $26 million as of the last audited period ending June 30, 2023. Proposed Budget Adjustments A year-end operating surplus occurs when there is an excess of revenues over expenditures in a particular year, generally a result of higher than budgeted revenues, and/or lower than budgeted expenditures. The City concluded FY 2022-23 with an operating surplus of approximately $14.1 million. Per the Council approved budget, $10 million was allocated to committed reserve fund balances as follows: Economic Uncertainties $5 million, Capital $2 million, Post-retirement $1.5 million, Technology Replacement $500,000 and Fleet Replacement $500,000, leaving a remainder of operating surplus of approximately $4.1 million. Department staff has analyzed their line-item budgets and identified amendments needed for additional expenditures through the end of FY 2023-24 and a recommendation to allocate additional funds to committed reserve fund balances from the General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance. Due to the rising costs of materials, supply chain constraints, and expenditures not known or expected at the adoption of the FY 2023-24 Budget, adjustments are being presented to Council to appropriate and reallocate funds in the General and VPU Funds that are in line with strategic goals and objectives of the City. Fiscal Impact Approval of this action would require an appropriation of $2,507,895 in the General Fund, $2,006,500 in the Electric Fund, $39,500 in the Gas Fund and $860,000 in the Fiber Fund from their respective Fund Balances as detailed in Resolution 2024-02.

MOUSSA, City Attorney .  .  Item 12 Page 3 of 3 City Council Agenda Report Meeting Date:February 20, 2024 From:Daniel S. Wall, P.E., Director of Public Works Department:Public Works Submitted by:Lissette Melendez, Project Engineer Subject Professional Services Agreement with Architerra Design Group for Landscape Architectural Services – City Hall Plaza Recommendation A. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15262, because the project only involves feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the City has not approved, adopted, or funded; and B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Architerra Design Group in substantially the same form as submitted, for the design of the Civil Plaza for a total amount not-to-exceed $122,930 for a three-year term. Background The City of Vernon hosts multiple community events throughout the year in the area in front of City Hall. The current space was able to comfortably accommodate these public gatherings in the past, but as a result of continuous growth in community participation, the space is no longer sufficient. Following a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, the Department of Public Works selected a firm to design, conduct, and assist in the solicitation of recommendations for the construction of a Civil Plaza in this currently underutilized area. The consulting firm will lead stakeholder meetings/design charrettes with a stakeholder’s committee composed of City Staff, produce preliminary plans and cost estimates for feedback, and present a final conceptual design that addresses all options/suggested changes to preliminary plans open for discussion. Professional landscape architectural services for hardscape and low maintenance climate- appropriate landscape design including irrigation, drainage systems, an outdoor congregation area with a stage, and adjustable lighting and sound system design. Pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.080, the Engineering Division publicized an RFP for Landscape Architectural Services – City Hall Plaza, as the cost for the service was anticipated to exceed $50,000 and required competitive selection. Because the RFP is for procurement of landscape architecture services, price was not a factor in the determination of the most qualified proposer pursuant to VMC Section 3.32.090. Proposals were rated on demonstrated competence, professional qualifications, and responsiveness to the RFP. The Engineering Division received three proposals by the due date from qualified firms in response to the RFP posted on or about February 7, 2023. A panel comprised of internal staff evaluated the three proposals received in order to determine the firm best suited to provide the services requested. A comprehensive, fair and impartial evaluation of the proposals was conducted in accordance with the specifications set forth within the RFP document. Established criteria were used in reviewing and comparing the proposals to determine the most suitable firm. At the conclusion of the assessment, it was determined that Architerra Design Group will best meet the needs of the City. Architerra’s proposal demonstrated comprehensive scope of work required to fulfill the services requested by the City and previous projects presented in their proposal demonstrate quality products most similar to the Civil Plaza .  .  Item 13 Page 1 of 2 concept Public Works is envisioning. Staff recommends that the City enter into a services agreement with Architerra Design Group. The proposed Services Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office. Fiscal Impact The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $122,930. Sufficient funds are available in General Fund, Public Works, Facilities Maintenance, Capital Outlays Account No. 011-040-415-660000 for the current fiscal year. Attachments 1.
