Operating Account Warrant Register
Recommendation
Approve Operating Account Warrant Register No. 124, for the period of December 31, 2023
through January 20, 2024, totaling $11,540,818.28 and consisting of ratification of electronic
payments totaling $11,029,802.74 and ratification of the issuance of early checks totaling
$511,015.54.
Background
Vernon Municipal Code Section 2.32.060 indicates the City Treasurer, or an authorized
designee, shall prepare warrants covering claims or demands against the City which are to be
presented to City Council for its audit and approval. Staff previously presented the City payroll
warrant as a separate agenda item for Council ratification. As of January 1, 2024 payroll
processing transitioned from Eden to Enterprise ERP, formerly known as Munis, changing the
compiling of all Operating Account disbursements into one warrant register. Thus moving
forward, payroll information will be included in the Operating Account Warrant Register.
Pursuant to the aforementioned code section, the Deputy City Treasurer has prepared Operating
Account Warrant Register No. 124 covering claims and demands presented during the period of
December 31, 2023 through January 20, 2024, drawn, or to be drawn, from East West Bank for
City Council approval.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact of approving Operating Account Warrant Register No. 124, totals
$11,540,818.28. The Finance Department has determined that sufficient funds to pay such
claims/demands, are available in the respective accounts referenced on Operating Account
Warrant Register No. 124.

negligible or no expansion of an existing use; and
B. Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a Public Improvements Agreement with Shewak
& Laiwanti Holings, LLC, in substantially the same form as submitted, for the City to construct
necessary frontage improvements and receive payment in the amount of $137,651.55.

property consistent with the Master Plan of Streets, including the construction of sidewalks,
driveway, access ramps, curb and gutter, curb return and relocation of the traffic signal at the
northeast corner of Slauson Avenue and Boyle Avenue. The property owner has requested the
City construct the required frontage improvements at the corner of Slauson Avenue and Boyle
Avenue as part of the Slauson Avenue Congestion Relief Improvement Project (Project) at the

include the improvements required at the northeast corner of Slauson Avenue and Boyle Avenue.
Shewak & Laiwanti has agreed to pay the City of Vernon the cost of the construction of the
improvements based on the estimate and plans provided as Exhibit A of the proposed Public
Improvements Agreement.
The agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office.

Subject
National Auto Fleet Group Vehicle Purchase
Recommendation
A. Approve and authorize the purchase of one new 2024 Ford Super Duty F-350 DRW for a total
amount not-to-exceed $72,923.24; and
B. Authorize a contingency amount of $7,292.32 (approximately 10%) should the purchase of a
comparable Utility Truck be necessary due to limited vehicle inventory, and grant authority to the
City Administrator to issue a Supplemental to the Purchase Order to National Auto Fleet Group
for an amount up to the contingency amount.
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.
The quote secured for this purchase from National Auto Fleet Group is based on Sourcewell
contract #091521-NAF. 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.
Per VMC Section 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 National Auto Fleet Group a total of approximately $708,753.37 in
purchase orders.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $80,215.56. Sufficient funds are available in the General Fund,
Public Works Department, Fleet Services Division, Capital Outlay Account No. 011-040-420-
660000 for the current fiscal year.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:February 20, 2024
From:Robert Sousa, Chief of Police
Department:Police
Submitted by:Nicholas Perez, Lieutenant - Patrol Division
Subject
Purchase Order with D&R Office Works, Inc.
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.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $23,414 including an eight percent contingency. Sufficient
funds are available in General Fund, Police Department,Capital Equipment Non-Auto
Account No. 011-030-300-660015, and Supplies Account No. 011-030-300-522000 for the
current fiscal year.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:February 20, 2024
From:Todd Dusenberry, General Manager of Public Utilities
Department:Public Utilities
Submitted by:Adriana Ramos, Management Analyst
Subject
Purchase Order with Charles P. 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.

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.

Accurate, color -independent suspended solids and
turbidity measurements.
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.
Easy One-point Calibration
Factory calibrated in conforr~nity with DIN EN ISO 7027 for
long-term calibration stability. Calibration is easy with a
simple correction factor procedure.
Multi-channel, Multi-parameter System
Any two Solitax sc sensors can be installed on one
Hach SC200 Controller. The same controller can also
accommodate ar~y combination of parameters. All of
Hach's model sc sensors are "'plug and play" with no
complicated wiring or set-up procedure necessary.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:February 20, 2024
From:Jessica Alcaraz, Financial Services Administrator
Department:Finance
Submitted by:Angela Melgar, Finance Manager
Subject
Fiscal Year 2022-23 Audited Financial Reports
Recommendation
A. 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.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Vernon, California
In accordance with the Charter of the City of Vernon (City) and State Law, we are pleased to
present the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2023. 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

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

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. .

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.

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

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.

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.

Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises
the Introductory and Statistical Sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors' report
thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an
opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and
consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or
the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that
an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated 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.

City of Vernon, California
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
June 30, 2023
5
As management of the City of Vernon (“the City”), we offer readers of the financial statements this
narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2023.
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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)

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.

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.

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.

Government-wide revenues increased by $27.9 million to $343.3 million. 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.

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.

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.

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.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEW YEAR’S BUDGET AND RATES
Local and state economies experienced continual growth throughout fiscal year 2022-23, with tapering
in the latter months due to prolonged historical high inflation and the increased interest rates by the
Federal Reserve. 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.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
49
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of Vernon, California, (the “City”) have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as applied to governmental
agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) is the accepted standard setting body for
establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the significant
policies:
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated on 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

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.

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.

City of Vernon
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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. .

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.

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:

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.

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

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 8 – Risk Management
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 our Risk Financing Program. There have been
no significant settlements or reductions in insurance coverage during the past three fiscal years.
Starting in Fiscal 2010, the City chose to establish the Risk Financing Program in the General Fund, whereby assets are
set aside for claim-litigation settlements associated with the above-mentioned risks up to their self-insured retentions
or policy deductibles. Athens Administrators Inc. is the City’s Third-Party Administrator for workers’ compensation
program and they provide basic services for general liability claims and litigation.

A. General Information about the Pension Plan
On October 1, 2020, the City transferred its fire department operations to Los Angeles County, California. The
City's full-time safety (police and fire personnel) employees were converted from the City's agent multiple-
employer defined benefit pension plan to a cost-sharing defined benefit pension plan during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2021. 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.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan
members and beneficiaries. Benefit provisions under both plans are established by State Statute and City Resolution

Participants are eligible for non-industrial disability retirement if they become disabled and have at least 5 years
credited service. There is no special age requirement. The standard non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a
monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent of final compensation, multiplied by service 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.

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 (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.

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. .

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%

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:

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.

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.

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

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.
Expected Long-Term Rates of Return

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. SCPPA is entitled to 35 MW of photovoltaic generating capacity from commercial

expiration date of December 31, 2036. The commercial operation date was December 2016. Power and Water
Resources Pooling SCPPA, Lodi, Corona, Moreno Valley, and Rancho Cucamonga, are each buying the output of
a separate portion of the facility, which is located in Kern County, California. SCPPA has purchase options in the
10th, 15th, and 20th Contract Years. The project is forecasted to start at a capacity factor of 31% with a 0.5%
annual degradation. ACES Power Marketing is the third-party scheduling coordinator for the project. The City
contracted to purchase 57.1429% until December 31, 2021, and 66.6667% thereafter, of the output. The
City’s proportionate share of costs for fiscal year 2023 was $10,114,000.

Notes to the Budgetary Comparison Schedule
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
Budgetary Information
The City adheres to the following general procedures in establishing its annual budget, which is reflected in the accompanying General Fund
budgetary comparison schedule.
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as
committed fund balance for subsequent year expenditures through City Council action. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end.
An annual budget is adopted by the City Council that provides for the general operation of the City. The budget includes authorized
expenditures and estimated revenues of the General Fund.
The budget is adopted on a modified accrual basis and formally integrated into the accounting system and employed as a management control
device during the year.
Excess expenditures over appropriations are financed by beginning fund balance. The final budgeted amounts used in the accompanying
General Fund budgetary comparison schedule include any amendments made during the fiscal year 2023. Encumbrances carried forward from
the prior year are reflected in the original budget.
Encumbrances, which are commitments related to executory contracts for goods and services, are recorded to assure effective budgetary
control and accountability.

California Public Employees' Retirement System Defined Pension Plan - Miscellaneous Plan
Historical information is presented only for measurement periods for which GASB 68 is implemented in 2013-14. Additional years of information will be
displayed as it becomes available.
Includes one year’s payroll growth using 2.80% payroll growth assumption for fiscal year ended June 30, 2022; 2.75% payroll growth assumption for fiscal years
ended June 30, 2018-21; 3.00% payroll growth assumption for fiscal years ended June 30, 2014-17.
Benefit Changes: There were no changes in benefits.
Changes 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. The accounting discount rate was 7.15%
for measurement dates 2017 through 2021, 7.65% for measurement dates 2015 through 2016, and 7.50% for measurement date 2014.
Additionally, CalPERS employeesparticipate in various State of California agent pension plans and during Fiscal Year 2017-18, CalPERS recorded a correction to
previously reported financial statements to properly reflect its proportionate share of activity related to pensions in accordance with GASB Statement No. 68,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions (GASB 68).

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.

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.

ELECTRIC FUND
Introduction
Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) remains dedicated to its core mission of providing reliable, safe, and
affordable energy while meeting California's clean energy goals. 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.

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.

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.

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

Zero-Emission Resources
Palo Verde Nuclear Station
The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
(PVNGS) is in Tonopah, Arizona,
approximately 55 miles west of Phoenix. It
generates the largest capacity of electricity
in the United States, with the second-largest
rated capacity. The plant consists of three
nuclear electric generating units totaling
3,937 MW. In 1981, VPU signed a “take or
pay” contract with the Southern California
Public Power Authority (SCPPA) for 11 MW
of power from Palo Verde. Under the Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA), VPU must pay
for its proportionate share of power
generated and operating and maintenance
expenses, regardless of the amount of
power taken.
Hoover Dam Hydroelectric Power Plant
The Hoover Dam Hydroelectric Power Plant is
located on the Arizona-Nevada border,
approximately 25 miles southeast of Las
Vegas. This hydropower plant is part of the
larger Hoover Dam facility, which was
completed in 1935 and controls the flow of
the Colorado River. The Hoover Dam facility
consists of 17 generating units and two
service generating units with a total installed
capacity of 2,080 MW. In 1987, Vernon
entered a PPA to purchase 22 MW of firm
capacity from the Western Area Power
Administration (WAPA). SCPPA and other
contractor allocations of Hoover power have
been extended for 50 years beyond the PPA’s
original expiration in 2017, which now expires
in 2067.

Distribution System Capital Improvement Plan
Investing in infrastructure is crucial for a reliable
electric utility. As such, Vernon proactively assesses its
distribution system, identifying opportunities to
bolster reliability, enhance safety, optimize efficiency,
and increase operational flexibility. These upgrades
will ensure a robust and adaptable electric
distribution system, powering a brighter future for the
City and its customers.
For the past three years, from 2020 through 2023,
VPU has been working on a distribution Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) focused on strengthening its
infrastructure to prevent outages and grid resiliency
to sustain reliability and maintain high service quality.
The result is VPU’s Five-Year CIP, which is updated as
part of the annual budget process. The plan focuses
on infrastructure upgrades to help achieve a strategic
vision that addresses its five-square-mile service
territory and the unique industrial characteristics that make up the City. The plan defined strategies that
involve in-depth evaluation of the condition of the electric system, performing detailed engineering
analysis of distribution system capability and performance, and listed construction and upgrade projects
to help transform the system into an intelligent, increasingly automated, and technologically advanced
electric system.
The CIP addresses the key areas and
construction required for
replacements or upgrades. The
success of the CIP results in the
improved electric system reliability
provided to the City of Vernon
residential and business customers.
The plan also aims to reduce VPU's
carbon footprint by removing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
from the system. The plan includes
replacing switches and circuit
breakers that use sulfur
hexafluoride (SF6) for insulation and
.
.
Item 11 Page 17 of 96

leverages new technologies for replacing and upgrading these units. The plan aims to increase system
reliability for the local electric grid and environmental improvements for a sustainable future for the
community. VPU estimates that the FY 2024-25 CIP is $25 million.

Customer Service
VPU continues to educate its business community on the importance of efficiency through its no-cost
energy audit services. Over the years, businesses have successfully leveraged VPU's energy audit services
to identify various efficiency opportunities. The utility's longstanding Custom Incentive Program has
consistently provided incentives for commercial electric customers that implement efficiency upgrades
that produce above building code savings. For FY 2022-23, VPU's energy efficiency programs generated
3,157 MWh of energy savings, along with $212,934 of efficiency rebates issued to VPU customers for
lighting retrofits and refrigeration control upgrades.
VPU has also been a key partner
throughout the customer’s
electrification journey, providing
incentives and expertise in the
transition towards increased
sustainability and GHG emission
reduction. In particular, the utility
issued electric vehicle and charger
rebates for customers who switched
to all-electric equipment. In July 2023,
the utility also opened its first fast
charging depot at 3805 S. Soto Street
to support the growing number of
electric vehicles on the road and help
expand public charging infrastructure
in the region.
VPU customers who are in the cold
storage and food processing business sectors continue to explore refrigeration control upgrades to
achieve energy savings. The optimization of refrigeration controls often involves system hardware and
software upgrades to maximize efficiency. To help support these complex energy efficiency projects, VPU
works with a third-party engineering consultant to conduct the evaluation, measurement, and verification
studies to confirm the validity of the savings generated. In addition, LED Lighting retrofits continue to
account for a majority of energy savings through VPU's Customized Incentive Program. Customers with
24/7 operations and large warehouses can realize significant savings by upgrading from non-LED to LED
lighting technology.

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.

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.

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.

The management of the Vernon Public Utilities (“VPU”), the electric, gas, water, and fiber optics utilities
of the City of Vernon (the “City”), offers the following overview and analysis of the basic financial
statements of the VPU for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. 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.

Operating Expenses
VPU’s operating income of $62,471,927, less non-operating expenses of $11,511,241, resulted in a change
in net position of $50,960,686 during the current year. This change in net position is primarily due to higher
billed electric fund revenue, the management and control of operating expenses, and higher investment
income as a result of favorable market conditions.

Vernon Public Utilities
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
25
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements present only the Vernon Public Utilities (“VPU”) of the City of Vernon,
California (the “City”), and do not present fairly the financial position and results of the operations of the City. 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.

Vernon Public Utilities
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023

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.

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.

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:

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:

E. Risk Disclosures (Continued)
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:

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 3 – Accounts Receivable
The VPU’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2023 are as follows:

Note 8 – Risk Management
The VPU 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 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.

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

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%

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 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.
The VPU’s proportionate share of the aggregate net pension liability for the pension plans as of the measurement

Note 10 – 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 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.

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%

2.80% wage inflation plus seniority, merit, and promotion
salary increases based on CalPERS Expenditure Study and

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.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return

Note 11 – Southern California Public Power Authority
The Southern California Public Power Authority (“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: .

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

Introduction
Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) remains dedicated to its core mission of providing reliable, safe, and
affordable energy while meeting California's clean energy goals. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The management of the Electric Fund of the City of Vernon (the “City”) offers the following overview and
analysis of the basic financial statements of the Electric Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Continued)
Activities, Net Position
Current assets decreased by $10.9 million from the prior year while restricted and other assets
increased by $2.9 million from the prior year.
Capital assets increased by approximately $1 million from the prior year mainly due to the
continued capital investment in Electric Fund’s utility infrastructure.
Current liabilities increased by approximately $1.8 million from the prior year, while long-term liabilities
decreased by $41.4 million from the prior year, mainly due to lower debt service requirements of $59.2
million offset by higher net pension liability expenses of $17.1 million.
The total net position of the Electric Fund increased by $47 million from the prior year primarily
due to a $21.8 million increase in net investment in capital assets, an increase of $1.1 million in
debt service restrictions, an increase in funds restricted for AB1890 (Public Benefits program) of
$2.9 million, and an increase in the unrestricted (deficit) of $21.2 million.

Nonoperating revenues (expenses)
The Electric Fund’s operating income of $58.5 million, less nonoperating revenues (expenses) of $11.5
million, resulted in an increase in net position of $47 million during the current year. The Electric Fund’s
$47 million increase in the change in net position is primarily due to a higher billed amount to customers,
management of operating expenses, and higher than expected investment income for FY 2022-23.

Electric Enterprise Fund Of the City of Vernon
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
23
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements present only the Electric Enterprise Fund (“Electric Fund”) of the City of
Vernon, California (“the City”), and do not present fairly the financial position and results of the operations of the City.
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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:

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 Electric 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.

Note 8 – 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 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

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%

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.

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

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 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.

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:

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:

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.

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.

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.

The management of the Water Fund of the City of Vernon (“the City”) offers the following overview and analysis
of the basic financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. 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.

Water Enterprise Fund of the City of Vernon
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
23
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements present only the Water Fund (“Water Fund”) of the City of Vernon, California
(“the City”), and do not present fairly the financial position and results of the operations of the City. 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.

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. .

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.

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

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:

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.

Miscellaneous
Safety
Participants are eligible for non-industrial disability retirement if they become disabled and have at least 5 years
credited service. There is no special age requirement. The standard non-industrial disability retirement benefit is a
monthly allowance equal to 1.8 percent of final compensation, multiplied by service 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. .

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.

(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%

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.

Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate
The following presents the Water Fund’s proportionate share of the Plans’ aggregate net pension liability, calculated
using a discount rate of 6.90%, as well as what the Water Fund’s proportionate share of the Plans’ aggregate net
pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is a 1-percentage point lower (5.90%) or a
1-percentage point higher (7.90%) than the current rate:

At June 30, 2023, the Water Fund had no outstanding amount of contributions to the pension plans required for the
year ended June 30, 2023.
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).

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.

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.

City Council Agenda Report
Meeting Date:February 20, 2024
From:Jessica Alcaraz, Financial Services Administrator
Department:Finance
Submitted by:Angela Melgar, Finance Manager
Subject
Fiscal Year 2023-24 Mid-Year Financial Update
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-02 authorizing and approving mid-year budget appropriations and
amending the Annual Operating and Capital Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24.
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 .

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.

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 .

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.
