CALIFORNIA
November 8, 2021
To the Residents of the Town of Los Altos Hills,
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Letter of Transmittal
Letter of Transmittal
We are pleased to submit the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the Town of Los Altos Hills,
California (Town), for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. This report was prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and contains information to help
readers gain a reasonable understanding of the Town's financial activities.
The responsibility for the accuracy of the information and the completeness and fairness of the presentation,
including all disclosures, rests on the Town's management. To the best of our knowledge, we believe that
the information reported is accurate in all material respects and its presentation fairly shows the financial
position and the results of the Town's operations. In providing a reasonable basis for making these
representations, management has established a thorough internal control system designed to protect the
government's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile necessary information for preparing the
Town's financial statements.
The ACFR is presented in three major sections that provide introductory, financial as of June 30, 2021, and
statistical information about the Town. The introductory section includes this transmittal letter, the Town's
organizational chart and a list of the Town's principal officials. The financial section includes the independent
auditor's report, basic financial statements, notes to basic financial statements, required supplementary
information and supplementary information on nonmajor funds. The statistical section, which is unaudited,
includes selected financial and demographic information.
Maze & Associates, a firm of licensed certified public accountants, has issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion
on the Town's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The independent auditor's report
is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor's report and
provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A presents
a comparative analysis of current and prior year results, changes in financial position, financial highlights,
trends and disclosure of any known significant events or decisions that affect the financial condition of the
Town. This transmittal letter complements the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.
Town Profile
The Town of Los Altos Hills is a residential community located in Santa Clara County, California. It is about
18.6 miles northwest of San Jose and 38.5 miles southeast of San Francisco. The Town was incorporated on
January 27, 1956. The Town encompasses 9 square miles and has influence on an additional 5.2 square miles
Resolution 80-21 Page 6
Letter of Transmittal
of unincorporated land adjacent to the Town's boundaries. The "Sphere of Influence", maintains over 60
miles of pathways and 100 acres of open space.
The Town operates under a Council -Manager form of government. Policy-making and legislative authority
are vested in the governing City Council, which consists of five Councilmembers. City Council members are
elected in overlapping four-year terms and, from amongst themselves, appoint a Mayor and Vice Mayor
every December. The Council is responsible for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing Planning
Commission and Volunteer Committee members, and hiring the City Manager and City Attorney. The City
Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, overseeing the day-
to-day operations of the Town, and appointing the Town staff.
The Town provides a full range of essential services through a combination of in-house staff and contract
services. Services provided by the Town's 26.2 full-time equivalent employees include planning, engineering,
building inspection, maintenance of public infrastructure, recreation, limited parks, open space maintenance
and general management. Partnership with neighboring cities, counties and special districts are utilized to
provide law enforcement services, fire services, sewer conveyance and treatment, water services and
technology support. The Town also entered into public-private partnership in areas of code enforcement,
trash collection, payroll services, staff augmentation and Westwind Barn management.
The cost to provide these essential services are reviewed annually as part of the Town's operating and capital
budget process. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the Town's financial planning, monitoring
and control. All departments of the Town are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City
Manager each spring. The City Manager reviews these requests and develops a proposed budget. Prior to
June 30 of each year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating and capital
improvement budget for review. The Council holds public hearings and a final budget is adopted on or before
June 30.
Budgetary reviews and controls are applied as described in the Notes to Required Supplementary Information
on page 79. Budget to actual comparisons are provided in this report for each governmental fund for which
an annual budget has been adopted. For the General Fund, this comparison is presented on page 74 as part
of the required supplementary information. For governmental funds other than the General Fund, this
comparison is presented in the Combining Statements and Individual Fund Statements section of this report,
starting on page 86.
Throughout the year, the Administrative Services Department monitors economic changes that may affect
the Town's revenue stream, coordinates with departments in identifying changing needs and demands, and
presents budget adjustments to the City Council as part of the mid -year review. Public inputs are filtered
through the Town's standing committees and to staff liaisons. These inputs are considered in the
development of the budget and presented to the City Council for consideration as part of the budget review
and throughout the year as separate Council action items.
Resolution 80-21 Page 7
Letter of Transmittal
Los Altos Hills Financial Outlook
As shown in the Basic Financial Statements (Government Wide), starting on page 26, the Town is financially
healthy. As of June 30, 2021, the Town has no outstanding debt, the unfunded pension liability per CalPERS
Actuary is estimated at .$2.5 million, and the total unrestricted fund balance is $18.5 million, of which $7.3
million is unassigned and available to meet current and future liabilities shown on page 26. With the recent
hit of COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the Town was able to maintain a combination of strong local
economy increase in assessed property value, healthy building improvement activity is a reason for the
current year overall increase in total town -wide net position.
In contrast to published reports about municipal finances nationwide, the Town's finances are in good
condition. However, pension cost spending and pension liabilities continue to substantially increase based
on updated actuarial studies by CaIPERS. These updated actuarial studies by CalPERS anticipate lower long-
term investment earnings, increasing employee compensation, a longer life span, and earlier retirement. The
Town has addressed these changes by complying with PEPRA new pension benefits for new employees,
increasing employee participation in pension costs, and making voluntary payments to partially retire long-
term pension liabilities. The Town's expectation for past service pension cost increases have not yet been
included in the CalPERS published employer liabilities. The Town's OPEB liability is over funded by
approximately 20% and management continues to submit reimbursements from our third -party
administered OPEB in this fiscal year. The Notes to Financial Statements provide detailed information
regarding the Town's pension and OPEB obligations.
The Economy and Its Impact
Los Altos Hills has twelve non-residential properties and approximately 3,000 single-family residential
properties. The twelve non-residential properties are Fremont Country Club, Purissima Hills Water District,
EI Monte Fire Station, Town Hall, Foothill College, four religious institutions, and three schools. With no
commercial base, Los Altos Hills' primary revenue sources are property tax and development permit revenues
from private development.
Based on the most recent Property Tax Analysis performed by HdL, the local real estate market continues to
improve. While home sales volume stays flat, home price continues to rise year over year. For the quarter
ending September 30, 2021, the Town's median sale price of single-family residential homes increased 28
percent to $5,137,500 (from $4,006,000 for calendar year 2020).

—*—Median Sales Price --•Average Sales Price
California home sales closed out the third quarter 2021 by reversing a four-month decline and posting the
largest monthly increase in over a year. Home prices continued to exhibit strong growth from last year. The
statewide median home price declined 2.3 percent to $808,890, from the prior month and increased 13.5
percent from $712,430 in September 2020. The median price in California remained above the $800,000
benchmark for the sixth consecutive month but the double-digit price year -over -year price gain was the
smallest in 14 months.
Property tax revenues are generally one year behind the housing market. The property valuation used to
calculate tax revenues is based on price of homes sold in the previous year. The Town's FY2021-2022 net
taxable assessed value is projected to be $9.1 billion based on Santa Clara County's data. As a result, the
Town's property tax revenue is expected to be $7.3 million in FY2021-2022. Staff closely monitors the County
Controller -Treasury Office's property tax revenue projection to ensure the Town's revenue projection
incorporates the most recent data.
Prior to SB 107 being established, the state shifted property tax revenues from cities, counties, and other
local agencies to the State in support of schools. Starting in 2015, SB107 was established to give back the
property tax revenues. The Town received approximately $470,000 in fiscal year 2021. The Town
anticipates receiving $490,000 in the upcoming fiscal year.
Long•Term Financial Planning and Financial Policies
The Town has received $1,007,480 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds in FY2021-22 and will receive
the same amount in July 2022, The Town staff and City Council are still in the process of determining the use
of the funds. Currently, the City Council has approved $220,200 of the funds to non-profit organizations for
COVID-19 relief. The remaining funds will be potentially used for qualified infrastructure projects in
broadband, water or sewer projects.
Town management develops a five-year financial projection for all city funds, covering all foreseeable
elements of revenues and expenditures. This practice allows the Town to identify potential fiscal challenges
early on and gives it time to plan strategically to weather economic cycles and provide stable and consistent
services to its residents.

Resolution 80-21 Page 9
Letter of Transmittal
For capital projects, the Town maintains a five-year capital improvement plan which is updated annually. This
plan provides a long-term forecast of identified capital improvement projects and serves as a tool for the
town management and City Council to plan, prioritize and monitor the Town's capital projects.
The Town has established a reserve policy to set aside unrestricted general fund balance for pension,
operating contingency, disaster contingency and technology / equipment replacement reserves. The Town
plans to expand and refine the reserve policy each fiscal year.
Award and Acknowledgement
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting to the Town of Los Altos Hills for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2021. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish
an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR. This report must satisfy both GAAP and applicable legal
requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Preparation of this ACFR is not possible without the hard work of the entire Finance and Administrative
Services Department and the support of the other departments.
In closing, we would also like to thank the City Council and the Finance and Investment Committee for their
continued interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the Town in a
responsible and progressive manner.
Respectfully submitted,
Carl Cahill

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the Town Council
Town of Los Altos Hills, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fiend, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Los Altos Hills,
California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the Town's basic financial statements as listed in the Table of Contents.
Management's Responsibility 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; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Town's preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements 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 Town's internal control. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the 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 Town as of June 30, 2021, 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.

Emphasis of a Matter — Change in Accounting Principles
Management adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 84 —
Fiduciary Activities, which became effective during the year ended June 30, 2021. This Statement
established the new fund type, Custodial Funds, and eliminated the fund type of Agency Funds as discussed
in Note 1N. As discussed in Note 11K of the financial statements, the Other Post -Employment Benefit Plan
Trust Fund is no longer reported as a Fiduciary Fund as of July 1, 2020.
The emphasis of this matter does not constitute a modification to our opinions.
Other Matters
Required Supplemental Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Management's
Discussion and Analysis and other Required Supplemental Information as listed in the Table of Contents, be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an
essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary
information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements,
and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Town's basic financial statements as a whole. The Introductory Section, Supplemental
Information, and Statistical Section as listed in the Table of Contents are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not required parts of the basic financial statements.
The Supplemental 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 auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Supplemental Information is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The Introductory and Statistical Sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended June 30, 2021
As the management of the Town of Los Altos Hills, we offer readers of the Town's financial statements this
narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Town of Los Altos Hills for the year ended
June 30, 2021. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with
additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages i -iv

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Town -Wide Financial Highlights:
Net Position—The Town's total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources at June 30, 2021 by $57.5 million (net position). Of this amount, $21.6
million was reported as unrestricted net position, which may be used to meet ongoing obligations to
citizens and creditors.
Changes in Net Position —The Town's total net position increased by $1.4 million as reflected in the
government -wide statement of activities. Net position of governmental activities increased by
$739,446, because revenue exceeded expenses. Net position of business -type activities increased
by $682,790, reflecting this year's net income from the Sewer operations resulting from decreases in
operating expenses and onetime transfer from General Fund to adjust allocation overcharges in the
previous three years.
• Cash and investments at June 30, 2021 totaled $28.4 million, of which $23.1 million was classified as
government activities and $5.3 million was under the business -type activities category (Sewer). The
Town's cash and investments increased $664,510, or 2.4 percent as compared to the prior year, due
revenue exceeding expenses.
• Accounts payable and other current liabilities at June 30, 2021 was $5.2 million. Of this amount, $1.4
million was reported in the Sewer Fund. There is $3.1 million of refundable deposits relating to
property development. There is no long-term bonded debt outstanding at the close of the fiscal year.
Fund Highlights:
Governmental Funds — Fund Balances At the close of fiscal year, the Town's governmental funds
reported a combined fund balance of $20.4 million, an increase of $786,757 or 4% from the prior
year. Of the total, $7.3 million, or 36% of the fund balance is available for spending at the
government's discretion (unassigned fund balance).
General Fund unassigned fund balance at June 30, 2021 was $7.3 million, an increase of $163,941, or
2.3 percent over the previous year. Increasing reserves are due because the revenue exceeded
expenses and reserve levels maintained were unchanged.
Sewer Fund unrestricted net position at June 30, 2021 was $3.8 million, increased by $539,286 (or
16.4%) from the prior year. Charges for services decreased by $68,649, or 2% below the previous
Page 13
Resolution 80-21 Page 17
Management's Discussion and Analysis
year primarily due to decreases in sewer assessments charges were due primarily to reducing the
rate for ADU's by one-half for the approximate 150 units.
Capital Projects Funds is now a major fund due to it exceeds 10% of total Governmental Funds and
5% of total Governmental/Enterprise. The major increase was the Town purchased $2.0 million
PG&E Rule 20A credit from other municipalities for undergrounding project.
Other Highlights
Pension — For funding purpose, the change will affect the contribution rates beginning in fiscal year
2020-21 and result in increases to the normal costs and payments for unfunded actuarial liabilities.
At the close of this fiscal year, the Town's net pension liability increased from $2.2 million to $2.5
million. The unfunded liability as of June 30, 2021 was $2.5 million, an increase of $292,629 or 13.3%
above the previous year. Additionally, this unfunded liability is offset by the PARS 115 Trust balance
with a balance of $1.18 million at June 30, 2021. The Town made $1.0 million contribution and split
the distribution equally between PARS and CalPERS. The Town has one of the highest funding ratios
of municipalities in the state; Classic Miscellaneous group is at 83.5%, 2nd Tier at 91% and the PEPRA
tier is at 92.6%.
• OPEB — The Town's CERBT Trust is over funded and recent market gains have exceeded the assumed
discount rate. Management began this year requesting reimbursements from the Trust Account to
pay our current OPEB expenses in the following fiscal year.
• Reserves — Each year, the City Council reviews the current committed and assigned reserves and
updates the balances of these reserves as necessary. Any changes are adopted by resolution of the
City Council. Committed and assigned reserves were not changed.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Town's basic financial statements,
which consist of three components; government -wide financial statements, fund financial statements, and
notes to the financial statements. This report also contains supplementary information in addition to the
basic financial statements such as this discussion and analysis.
Government -wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
Town's finances, in a manner similar to private -sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the Town of Los Altos Hills' assets and liabilities,
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 Town is improving or
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the Town'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 result in cash outflows in future fiscal periods, for example, earned
but unused vacation leave. These government -wide financial statements begin on page 22 of this report.

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 Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the Town can be divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported
as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -
wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows
of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year.
Such information may be useful in assessing a government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrowerthan 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
fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and
governmental activities.
The Town maintains nine individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and
changes in fund balances for the General Fund and Street Capital Projects Fund, which are considered to be
major funds. Data from the other eight governmental funds are combined into a single aggregated
presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of
combining statements in the combining and individual fund statements and schedules section of this report.
The Town adopts an annual appropriated budget for all funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been
provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The budgetary comparison
schedule for the General Fund can be found on page 74.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 26-29 of this report.
Proprietary Funds. The Town. maintains two different types of proprietary funds — enterprise funds and
internal service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type
activities in the government -wide financial statements. The Town uses an enterprise fund to account for the
sewer operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs
internally among the Town's various functions. The Town uses an internal service fund to account for the
central town services, corporation yard services, and the repair and replacement of equipment and vehicles.
Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type functions, it has been
included within governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the sewer
operations.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on page 32 of this report.

Resolution 80-21 Page 19
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside of
the government. Fiduciary funds are not reported in the government -wide financial statements because the
resources of those funds are not available to support the Town's own programs. The accounting used for
fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
The Town maintains an agency fund, which is used to report resources held by the Town in a custodial
capacity for the West Loyola Special Assessment District.
Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the
financial statements can be found on pages 41-71 of this report.
Other Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents certain required supplementary information concerning the Town's progress in funding its
obligation to provide pension and other post -employment benefits to its employees. Required
supplementary information can be found on page 74-80 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are
presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Combining and individual fund
statements and schedules can be found on pages 86-91 and the Statistical Section follows on page 96.
GOVERNMENT -WIDE OVERALL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net Position
As noted above, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position.
In the case of the Town of Los Altos Hills, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources by $57.5 million at the close of the fiscal year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The government's overall net position increased by $1,422,236, during the current fiscal year compared to
an increase of $3,872,238 in the prior fiscal year. The fiscal year202O-2021 increase was due primarily to
higher property and other tax revenues received that were higher than prior year and higher operational
earnings.
The largest portion of the Town's net position, 59 percent, reflects its investment in capital assets — land,
buildings, machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. The Town uses these capital assets to provide services
to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
An additional portion of the Town's net position represents $1,956,700 of restricted resources that are
subject to external restrictions as to how they may be used. These includes in -lieu fees collected on parks,
grants and restricted donations. Largest portion of restricted resources is the 115 Pension Trust at
$1,178,398. The remaining balance of $21,591,613 is unrestricted and may only be used to meet the
government's ongoing services to citizens and operational needs. Of this amount, $3,830,656 may only be
used to meet sewer related obligations.
At June 30, 2021, the Town is able to report positive balances in all categories of net position, both for the
government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business -type activities. Total net
position has increased or remained consistent over the most recent ten years for governmental activities and
business -type activities as illustrated in the graph below. The Town of Los Altos Hills has maintained a stable
financial position.

Governmental Activities. During the current fiscal year, net position in governmental activities increased by
$739,444 from the prior fiscal year for an ending balance of $45,971,076.
Major changes in revenues and expenses of governmental activities:
• Property tax totaled $7.3 million, an increase of $481,554, or 7%. The increase of property tax
revenue is due to strong real estate market and increases in assessed property values.
• Charges for services revenues of $5.9 million increased by $711,909, 14% due to increased
community development activities primarily relating to residential development.
• Other taxes increased by $440,691 or 82%, mainly from higher real property transfer tax and sale &
use tax due to the increase numbers of online shopping in the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.

Resolution 80-21 Page 22
Management's Discussion and Analysis
• Franchise fees totaled $350,952, an increase of $10,684, or 3%, all franchise fees collected increased
slightly. Solid waste franchise fees were waived this year as the second in the four-year reduction as
part of the agreement signed in 2019.
• Capital grants and contribution revenue decreased $214,347 primarily due to Measure B grants
through VTA that were finalized in the prior fiscal year.
• Total expenses of all governmental activities were $14.9 million for fiscal year 2020-2021, an increase
of $3.6 million, or 32% from the prior year. This increase can be attributed to an increase in legal
fees, contract services for filling employee vacancies throughout the departments, an additional
pension contribution, and the new cost allocation plan was implemented in the year.
• The Town's governmental activities expenses are related to 32% general government; 16% public
safety; 23% community development; 15% public works; 7% parks and recreation; and 7% non -
departmental.
• The Town purchased $2.0 million PG&E Rule 20A credit from other municipalities to complete the
Town's undergrounding project. The expense will be capitalized in fixed assets when the project is
completed.

FUND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The Town uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal
requirements. The Town's governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of
accounting. The Town's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government -
wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the Town's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and
balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Town's financing requirements.
In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources
available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2021, the Town's governmental funds reported a combined ending fund balance of
$20,425,535, an increase of $786,757, or an increase of 4% in comparison with the prior fiscal year.
Approximately $7.3 million, or 36% of this amount constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available
for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is restricted, committed, or
assigned to indicate that these amounts may only be spent on the purposes designated.
Page 1 11
Resolution 80-21 Page 25
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Committed and assigned fund balances primarily consist of reserves for specific future uses. These reserves
are approved each year by the City Council during the annual budget process. Other funds that are
committed primarily consist of capital project funds. Capital projects are approved by the City Council during
the annual budget process for the upcoming fiscal year. In total, restricted, committed and assigned
reserves were increased $622,816 from the prior year due. primarily to the $500,000 contribution to the
Pension 115 Trust (see Note 713).
Governmental funds revenues, expenditures, and change in fund balances for the last ten fiscal years can be
found under the Statistical Section on pages 102-103 of this report.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the Town. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned
fund balance of the General Fund was $7,338,881, while total fund balance increase to $20,425,535. As a
measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total
fund balance to total General Fund expenditures.
Unassigned fund balance of $7.3 million represents approximately 65 percent of total General Fund
expenditures of $11.3 million, while total fund balance represents approximately 55 percent of the same
amount. The ratios indicate that the Town's unassigned fund balance can support General Fund operations
for most of the entire year without additional revenue sources.
The fund balance of the Town's General Fund increased by $792,124 during the current fiscal year. This
increase is primarily attributable to property tax, charges for services, and other taxes.
General Fund Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2021 totaled $14,726,129 increased by $1,512,228, or
11.4%. The following table summarizes revenues in major categories with two-year comparison:

attributable to the following:

by increase in single family home assessed value through property transfers, reversal of Proposition

The increase or decrease in revenue sources in the General fund as compared to priorfiscal year are primarily
attributable to the following:
• Property tax increased to $7.3 million, up 7 percent, during fiscal year 2021. This increase was driven
by increase in single family home assessed value through property transfers, reversal of Proposition

8 valuation adjustment, and the shift of property tax from County of Santa Clara to the Town per the
Tax Equality Allocation (SB 107).
• Taxes other than property totaled $978,527, increased by $440,691 or 82 percent, as compared to
the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to other taxes (real property transfer tax and
sales and use tax). The higher sales and use tax was due to the increase numbers of online shopping
during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
• Franchise fees increased by $10,684 or 3% during the current fiscal year and thus remained
consistent with the prior year.
• Licenses and permits totaled $1.8 million, an increase of $839,264, or 85% from the prior year.
Licenses and permits are assessed on building permits and as shown on page 114 of the Statistical
Section, total valuation for new homes, additions and remodels. Dependent upon the total number
of permits issued, this revenue stream can fluctuate year over year.
• Intergovernmental revenue totaled $208,460, an increase of $145,928 or 233 percent from the prior
year. Intergovernmental revenue includes vehicle code fines, AB 939 fees, abandoned vehicle
recovery, and supplemental grant fund for law enforcement. These revenues will fluctuate based on
timing of payments and the amount of fees and recovery collected duringthe year. This year increase
was due to one-time COVID-19 Relief from federal government.
• Investment income totaled $55,161, a decrease of $732,414, or 93 percent from prior year.
Investment income includes interest earned on accounts, interest earned on investments, realized
and unrealized gain / losses on investments. Significant reduction in interest rates due to COVID and
associated impact on mark -to -market valuations.
• Charges for services totaled $1,190,760, a decrease of $320,723 or 21%. Charges for services include
various fees charged for Town services including administrative, community development, public
works, parks and recreation, and engineering. Charges for services fluctuate year over year
depending upon the services provided throughout the year.
• Other revenue totaled $747,187, an increase of $632,982 or 554 percent from prior year. The
increase was due to PARS Trust contribution.
Including the additional payments to the Town's unfunded pension liability, the General Fund's expenditures
increased by $2.0 million or 21.53% as compared to the prior year. General government's expenditures
increased was due to legal expense. For public works, the increase was primarily due to increase in contract

from the prior fiscal year due to a missed accrual. Included in sewer operating expenses are interfund
charges for town center allocations, vehicle and equipment allocations, corporate yard allocations, and
overhead allocations. Total interfund allocations decreased by $103,446 or 37.3%, as compared to the prior
fiscal year due to the implementation of the overhead allocation study. Sewer connection fees increased by
$3,313 or 3.9%. The positive change in net position is attributable to lower operating expenses and a one-
time transfer from the General Fund of $294,316 to correct for excess overhead allocation charges in the
precious three years.

development and consolidates input from all Town departments. The consolidated budget inputs are
reviewed by the City Manager and presented to the City Council and the Finance and Investment Committee
in a joint budget study session. A balanced budget is adopted by June 30 of each year. During the year, the
departments will present to the City Council for contract awards for all services exceeding $25,000.
Availability of budget for this award is part of the requests presented by the departments to the City Council.
Additionally, the Administrative Services Department monitors the budget during the year and prepares a
mid -year financial update to the Finance and Investment Committee and the City Council. As part of this
mid -year financial update, budget amendments are proposed to address any significant economic concerns
and to incorporate prior City Council actions that had changed appropriation or for reallocation of budget
items.

year 2021. The actual general fund expenditures were less than the final adopted budget by $80,213 or 0.7%.

Long -Term Debt
The Town has no long-term bonded debt as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021. The remainder of the
Town's long-term obligations comprise pension and OPER related liabilities. According to the 2020-21 OPEB
Actuarial, the liability is overfunded.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS
The Town of Los Altos Hills is a residential community. Its primary revenue sources are property tax and
permit revenues from private development. The outlook for the housing market remains positive. While
home sales volume stays flat, home price continues to rise year over year. The Town's assessed value grew
at least 6% each year for the past eight years. Property tax revenue is projected to approximate $7.2 million
in 2021-22 and permit and license revenues are estimated to increase to $1.3 million.
Overall, the adopted 2021-2022 General Fund budget reflects revenue over expenditures in the amount of
$1.3 million before transfers. Total revenues and transfers in are budgeted at $14.9 million, while total
expenditures are budgeted at $13.6 million and transfers out are budgeted at $4.4 million, with an estimated
total ending fund balance of $12.9 million. The Town expects to spend about $3.5 million on the Town Hall
Addition capital project. The unfunded pension liability and payments are expected to rise substantially due
to CaIPERS' plan to reduce the discount rate and certain year's lower market returns. The Town plans to
explore using some of its excess general funds to prepay obligations to CaIPERS and has established a trust
that may be used to fund future pension obligations where funds may be invested in instruments that
historically have produced higher returns. The Town received approximately $1.0 million in American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPR) funds in FY21-22 and the same amount will be distributed in July 2022, The Town will submit
their projects/use to Treasury by April 2022.

FOR YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities differs
from the amounts reported in the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes
in Fund Balances because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures but in the Statement
of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives
as depreciation expense or are allocated to the appropriate functional expense when
the cost is below the capitalization threshold. This activity is reconciled as follows:
Capital outlays
Depreciation expense charged to governmental activities
Change in Compensated absences
Government funds do not report pension expense as it does not require the use of
current financial resources
Government funds do not report OPEB expense as it does not require the use of
current financial resources

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The Town of Los Altos Hills (the Town) was incorporated in 1956, under the provisions of the State of
California. The Town operates under a Council -Manager form of government and provides the following
services: management, planning, code enforcement, engineering, building inspection, maintenance of
public infrastructure, recreation, law enforcement, and sewer service.
For financial reporting purposes, the Town's basic financial statements include all financial activities that
are controlled by or are dependent upon actions taken by the Town Council. There are no component
units. The financial statements may be obtained by writing to the Town of Los Altos Hills, Administrative
Services Department, 26379 Fremont Road, Los Altos Hills, California 94022.
The financial statements of the Town have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to government units. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant accounting principles of
the government are described below.
B. Basis of Presentation
Government -wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities displays information about the Town. These
statements include the financial activities of the overall government except for fiduciary activities. These
statements distinguish between the governmental and business -type activities of the Town. Governmental
activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange
transactions, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on
fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Net Position reports all of the financial and capital resources of the government as a
whole in a format in which assets and deferred outflows of resources equal liabilities and deferred inflows
of resources, plus net position. The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct
expenses and program revenues for each segment of the business -type activities of the Town and for each
function of the Town's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated
with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program
revenues include 1) fees, fines, and charges paid by the recipients of goods and services offered by the
programs and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all
taxes, are presented instead as general revenues.
Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 34 in regards to interfund activities, payable and receivables. All internal balances in the
Statement of Net Position have been eliminated except those representing balances between the
governmental activities and the business -type activities. These are presented as internal balances and
eliminated in the total primary government column. In the Statement of Activities, interfund transactions
have been eliminated. However, the transactions between governmental and business -type activities,
which are presented as transfers, have not been eliminated from the Statement of Activities.

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the Town's funds, including fiduciary funds.
Separate statements for each fund category — governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary — are presented.
The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed
in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are separately aggregated and reported as non -
major funds.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses and nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses result from providing services in connection with the fund's principal ongoing
operations. The principal operating revenues of the Town's enterprise and internal service fund are charges
for customer services including: sewer service fees, equipment maintenance and usage fees, and support
charges. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of services,
administrative expenses, and depreciation of capital assets. All other revenues and expenses not meeting
this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Town's policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
The Town reports the following major governmental funds:
• The General Fund accounts for resources traditionally associated with governmental activities that
are not required legally or by sound financial management to be accounted for in another fund.
• The Street Capital Projects Fund accounts for the acquisition and construction of streets.
• The Other Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources that are necessary for the
acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
The Town reports the following major enterprise fund:
• The Sewer Fund accounts for the maintenance of the Town's sewer lines and related facilities. It is
a self-supporting activity that provides services on a user charge basis to residences and
businesses.
The Town reports the following additional funds:
• Internal Service Fund accounts for goods and services provided to city departments on a cost
reimbursement basis. The goods and services provided include maintenance and replacement of
vehicles and equipment, costs incurred for printing, copying, and mailing services; employee
benefits; and expenses related to the maintenance of Town buildings. Internal Service Fund is
included in the government activities at the government -wide level.
• The Custodial Fund accounts for assets held by the Town in the capacity of agent. The Town's
Custodial Fund includes West Loyola Sewer Assessment District #1.
• The Special Revenue Funds account for specific revenues that are legally restricted to expenditures
for particular purposes.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
In prior years, the Town's street, storm drain and pathway maintenance and operation expenditures were
reported under special revenue funds; however, the operations were largely funded by transfers from the
General Fund. Special revenues, such as gas tax, storm drain in -lieu fees, and pathway construction fees,
were recorded in these special revenue funds but these revenues were transferred to capital project funds
at the end of the year. To minimize the number of interfund transfers between the General Fund, these
special revenue funds and Capital Project Funds, the City Council authorized the Administrative Services
Department to record the revenues for storm drains, pathways, and streets directly into the corresponding
capital project funds and to merge the ongoing operating cost into the General Fund.
Fund Balance Classification
Fund balance is classified in accordance with current governmental accounting standards, which requires
classification of fund balances into five different components, where applicable. The components are
nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned.
Nonspendable resources are not in spendable form or required to be maintained intact such as an
endowment.
Restricted resources are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions or imposed by law
through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed resources are constrained to specific purposes by a formal action of the City Council
such as an ordinance or resolution. The constraint remains binding unless removed in the same
formal manner by the City Council. Council action to commit fund balance must occur within the
fiscal reporting period while the amount committed may be determined subsequently. All use of
committed fund balance requires the City Council, which is the highest level of decision making
authority, to take formal action with resolution, including budget resolutions, to modify or rescind
a committed fund balance.
Assigned resources are constrained by the Town's intent to be used for specific purposes, but are
neither restricted nor committed. The City Council, by action, has the authority to assign amounts
to be used for specific purposes. Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist
temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be taken for the
removal of an assignment.
Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification and includes all amounts not contained in
the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available for any purpose. The
general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance.
When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed,
assigned, or unassigned) fund balances are available, the Town's policy is to first apply restricted fund
balance. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned or unassigned fund
balances are available, the Town's policy is to first apply committed fund balance. It is at the discretion of
the Council's designee to then apply the remaining expenditures to assigned or unassigned fund balance.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The government -wide and proprietary financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded at the time that liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows
take place. Non-exchange transactions, in which the Town gives or receives value without directly receiving
or giving equal value in exchange, include property and sales tax, grants, entitlements, franchise fees and
donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the
taxes are levied. Revenues from sales tax are recognized when the underlying transactions take place.
Revenues from grants, entitlements, and donations are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility
requirements have been satisfied.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and
available. Property and sales tax, interest, certain state, and federal grants, and charges for services are
accrued when their receipt occurs within sixty days after the end of the accounting period so as to be both
measurable and available. Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to claims and judgments,
are recorded only when payment is due. General capital assets acquisitions are reported as expenditures
in governmental funds. Proceeds of long-term debt and capital leases are reported as other financing
sources.
Fiduciary funds are custodial in nature (i.e. assets equal liabilities) and do not involve the measurement of
the results of operations. The Town has one fiduciary fund for the West Loyola Sewer Assessment District.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Town considers all highly liquid investments with maturity
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
E. Fair Value Measurements
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 between market participants at the measurement date. The Town categorizes its fair
value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting
principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair
value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in
the market.
— Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs — other than quoted prices included within level 1— that are observable
for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
— Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair value
hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant
to the entire measurement.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
F. Receivables
During the course of normal operations, the Town carries various receivable balances for taxes, franchise
fees, interest, license fees, and sewerfees. As of June 30, 2021, accounts receivable are shown at $682,934
in the General Fund, $28,421 in the Street Capital Project Fund and $1,391 in the Sewer Fund.
G. Capital Assets
Capital assets, including infrastructure acquired prior to GASB 34, are recorded at historical cost or at
estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are valued at
their estimated acquisition value on the date of contribution. Capital assets include public domain
(infrastructure) general capital assets consisting of certain improvements including roads, bridges,
water/sewer, lighting systems, drainage systems, and flood control. The Town defines capital assets as
assets with an estimated useful life in excess of three years and an initial, individual cost of $15,000.
Capital assets used in the operation are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives in the government -wide statements and proprietary funds. The estimated useful lives are as
follows:
Infrastructure
20 - 50 Years
Structure and Improvements
10 - 30 Years
Vehicles
5 -10 Years
Equipment
3 -10 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 results of operations.
H. Deferred Inflows and Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position or balance sheet reports a separate section for deferred
outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources,
represents a consumption of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not
be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Town has pension -related
and OPER-related deferred outflows of resources arising from certain changes in the collective net pension
liability and net OPEB liability.
In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position or balance sheet reports a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources,
represents an acquisition of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not
be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Town has deferred inflows of
resources arising from certain changes in the collective net pension liability and net OPEB liability. These
amounts are deferred and amortized over a stated period.

Resolution 80-21 Page 55
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
I. Property Taxes
Revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the tax and assessment are levied. The County of Santa
Clara levies, bills, and collects property taxes for the Town. Under the Teeter Bill, the County remits the
entire amount levied and handles the delinquencies, retaining interest and penalties.
Secured property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January 1. Taxes are payable in two
installments on November 1 and February 1 and become delinquent on December 10, and April 10,
respectively. Unsecured property taxes are payable in one installment on or before August 31.
J. Accumulated Compensated Absences
The Town accrues the cost for compensated absences (vacation and comp time) when they are earned.
Employees have a vested interest in accrued vacation time and all vacation hours will eventually either be
used or paid by the Town. Generally, employees earn and use their current vacation hours with a small
portion being accrued or unused each year. As this occurs, the Town incurs an obligation to pay for these
unused hours. Sick leave benefits do not vest and no liability is recorded.
All compensated absences for governmental activities are paid out of the general fund. Compensated
absences as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:
K. Interfund Transactions
Interfund transactions are reflected as services provided, reimbursements, or transfers. Services provided,
deemed to be at market, or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses.
Reimbursements are when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefit fund, and reduces its
related cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers within
governmental and proprietary funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government -wide
presentation.
L. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the basic financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.

M. Post -Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to OPEB, OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the California
Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), and additions to / deductions from CERBT's fiduciary net position
have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CERBT. For this purpose, CERBT
recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments
are reported at fair value, except for money market investments and participating interest-earning
investment contracts that have a maturity at the time of purchase of one year or less, which are reported
at cost.
N. New GASB Pronouncements
Management adopted the provisions of the following Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statements, which became effective during the year ended June 30, 2021.
GASB 84 — Fiduciary Activities — The objective of this Statement is to improve guidance regarding the
identification of fiduciary activities for accounting and financial reporting purposes and how those activities
should be reported. This Statement describes four fiduciary funds that should be reported, if applicable:
(1) pension (and other employee benefit) trust funds, (2) investment trust funds, (3) private -purpose trust
funds, and (4) custodial funds. Custodial funds generally should report fiduciary activities that are not held
in a trust or equivalent arrangement that meets specific criteria. The provisions of this Statement were
implemented during fiscal year 2021. As part of the implementation of this Statement, it was determined
that the West Loyola Sewer Assessment District #1 Agency Fund be accounted for and reported as a
Custodial Fund, which required the restatement of beginning net position of the fund in the amount of
$190,612. Also, the Town determined that the activities of the Other Post -Employment Benefit Trust
should no longer be reported in the Other Post -Employment Benefit Trust Fund, since the District does not
have control of the assets of the PARS OPEB Plan as a whole. Therefore, the Other Post -Employment
Benefit Trust Fund is no longer reported in the financial statements as of July 1, 2020.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
NOTE 2 — DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
The Town pools cash from all sources and all funds so that it can be invested at the maximum yield
consistent with safety and liquidity, while individual funds can make expenditures at any time.
A. Policies
The Town invests in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual investments are evidenced
by specific identifiable securities instruments, or by an electronic entry registering the owner in the records
of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system.
California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities with a
market value of 110% of the Town's cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a market
value of 150% of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law this collateral is held
in a separate investment pool by another institution in the Town's name and places the Town ahead of
general creditors of the institution.
The Town's investments are carried at fair value, as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
The Town adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each fiscal year end, and
it includes the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year.
The Town shall not engage in leveraged investing, such as in margin accounts or any form of borrowing for
the purpose of investment. The Town also shall not invest in instruments whose principal and interest have
no backing, such as options and future contracts, nor in derivatives, outside of authorized pools. The
Town's investments were in compliance with the above provisions as of and for the year ended June 30,
2021,
B. Classification
As of June 30, 2021, cash and investments are classified in the accompanying financial statements as
follows:
Cash on hand $ 1,900
Deposits with financial institutions 2,043,060
Investments with fiscal agent 1,326,889

The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for the Town by the California
Government Code and are further limited by the Town's investment policy. Limitations as they relate to
interest rate risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk are indicated in the schedules below:
D. Interest Rate Risk and Fair Value Hierarchy
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value
to changes in market interest rates. The Town manages its exposure to interest rate risk by purchasing only
shorter term investments as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
As of June 30, 2021, the Town had the following investments:

D. Interest Rate Risk and Fair Value Hierarchy (Continued)
The Town categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure fair value
of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in an active market for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are
significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

U.S. Treasury Notes classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using quoted prices in active
markets. Federal Agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, U.S. Agency Notes and Corporate Notes,
classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, are valued using pricing techniques of matrix pricing or
market corroborated pricing, with inputs such as yield curves or indices. These prices are obtained from
various pricing sources by our custodian bank. The Town does not have any Level 3 investments.
The Town is a participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California
Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The Town
reports its investment in LAIF at the fair value amount provided by LAIF, which is the same as the value of
the pool share. The balance is available for withdrawal on demand, and is based on the accounting records
maintained by LAIF. Included in LAIF's investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations,
mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, and floating rate
securities issued by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, United States Treasury Notes
and Bills, and corporations. At June 30, 2021, these investments matured in an average of 291 days. The
California Local Agency Investment Fund is classified as exempt in the fair value hierarchy, as it is valued at
amortized cost, which is exempt from being classified under GASB 72.

D. Interest Rate Risk and Fair Value Hierarchy (Continued)
The Town is a participant in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). CAMP is an investment
pool offered by the California Asset Management Trust (the Trust), The Trust is a joint powers authority
and public agency created bythe Declaration of Trust and established underthe provisions of the California
Joint Exercise of Powers Act (California Government Code Sections 6500 et seq., or the "Act") for the
purpose of exercising the common power of its Participants to invest certain proceeds of debt issues and
surplus funds. CAMP's investments are limited to investments permitted by subdivisions (a) to (n),
inclusive, of Section 53601 of the California Government Code, The Town reports its investments in CAMP
at the fair value amounts provided by CAMP, which is the same as the value of the pool share in accordance
with GASB 79 requirements. At June 30, 2021, the fair value approximated the Town's cost.
At June 30, 2021, these investments have an average maturity of 954 days. The California Asset
Management Program is exempt from the fair value hierarchy,
The Town, as a CAMP shareholder, may withdraw all or any portion of the funds in its CAMP account at
any time by redeeming shares. The CAMP Declaration of Trust permits the CAMP trustee to suspend the
right of withdrawal from CAMP or to postpone the date of payment of redemption proceeds if the New
York Stock Exchange is closed other than for customary weekend and holiday closings, if trading on the
New York Stock Exchange is restricted, or if, in the opinion of the CAMP trustees, an emergency exists such
that disposal of the CAMP pool securities or determination of its net asset value is not reasonably
practicable. If the right of withdrawal is suspended, the Town may either withdraw its request for that
withdrawal or receive payment based on the net asset value of the CAMP pool next determined after
termination of the suspension of the right of withdrawal,
Mutual funds are available for withdrawal on demand. At June 30, 2021, these investments have an
average maturity of 52 days.
E. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the
investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization. The state investment pool is not rated.

NOTE 7 — NET POSITION/FUND BALANCES
A. Net Position
The government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net
position is categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted.
Net Investment in Capital Assets —This category presents all capital assets, including infrastructure, into
one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation reduces the balance in this category.
Restricted Net Position — This category presents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors,
contributors, laws or regulations of other governments, or restrictions imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position —This category presents net position of the Town not restricted for any project
or other purpose.
B. Fund Balances — Components
Governmental fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net current assets generally
represent a fund's cash and receivables less its liabilities. Portions of a fund's balance may be non -spendable,
restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned. At June 30, 2021, the following represents the components

NOTE 8 - PENSION PLAN
A. General Information About the Pension Plan
The Town participates in the Cost -Sharing Multiple -Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Cost Sharing) for
its Miscellaneous employees. It is administered by the California Public Employees Retirement System
(CalPERS). A cost-sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plan is a plan in which the pension
obligations to the employees of more than one employer are pooled and pension plan assets can be used to
pay benefits of the employees of any employer that provides pensions through the plan.
The Town's pension plan and its financial position is measured and reported on the same basis as the Plan's
fiduciary net position reported by CaIPERS. This includes the measurement of the Plan's fiduciary net
position and additions to/deductions, as well as the Town's share of the Plan's net pension liability, deferred
outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense. For this purpose, benefit payments
(including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the
benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Plan Descriptions — All qualified permanent employees are eligible to participate in the Town's
Miscellaneous cost-sharing Plans administered by CalPERS. The Town's Miscellaneous Plans are a cost-
sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plan administered by CaIPERS since the plan has less than
100 active members, commonly referred to as risk pool. The Town has three retirement benefit tiers in the
Miscellaneous Plans. Tier 1 is for employees hired prior to September 1, 2011. Tier 2 is for employees hired
after September 1, 2011 and enrolled as a member of CalPERS prior to January 1, 2013. Tier 3 is for
employees hired on or after January 1, 2013.
Benefits Provided — CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments
and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees, and their beneficiaries. Benefits are
based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment, age and the average of the
final 3 years' compensation. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with
statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non -duty disability benefits after 10 years of
service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1959 Survivor Benefit, or the
Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified
by the Public Employees' Retirement Law.

NOTE 8 - PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED)
A. General Information about the Pension Plan (Continued)
Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by State statute and Town resolution. CalPERS issues
publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions,
assumptions and membership information can be found on the CalPERS website at:
http://www.calpers.ca.gov/index.jsp?bc=/about/forms-pubs/calpers-reports/actuarial-reports/home.xml.

Beginning in fiscal year 2016, CalPERS collects employer contributions for the Plan as a percentage of
payroll for the normal cost portion as noted in the rates above and as a dollar amount for contributions
toward the unfunded liability (UAL). The dollar amounts are billed on a monthly basis or can be paid in a
lump sum at a reduced amount. The Town elected to make the lump sum contribution for the unfunded
liability in the amount of $702,859 in fiscal year 2021.
Contributions — Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law requires that the
employer contribution rates for all public employers are determined on an annual basis by the actuary and
shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of change in the rate. Funding contributions for the 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 Town is required to contribute the
difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rates of employees.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, the contribution recognized as part of pension expense for the Plans were
as follows:
Miscellaneous Plans
Contributions - employer $ 949,129
B. Net Pension Liability
The Town's net pension liability for each Miscellaneous Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the
net pension liability. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2020, using an
actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2019 rolled forward to June 30, 2020 using standard update procedures.
The Town's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Town's long-term share
of contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined.

(3) The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS' specitic data. The probabilities of
mortality are based on the 2017 CaIPERS Experience Study for the period from 1997 to 2015. Pre-
retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include 15 years of projected mortality improvement
using 90% of Scale MP -2016 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on this table, please
refer to the CaIPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions report from December 2017
that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Discount Rate — The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for the Plan was 7.15 percent.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate for the Plan assumed that contributions
from all plan members in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) 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 protected benefit payments to
determine the total pension liability.
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.

NOTE 8 — PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED)
B. Net Pension Liability (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 (PERF) cash flows. Using historical
and forecasted information for of all the Public Employees Retirement Funds' asset classes (which includes
the agent plan and two cost-sharing plans or PERF A, B, and C funds), 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 table below reflects the expected real rates of return by asset.

F. Reduction of CalPERS Discount Rate
In July 2021, CaIPERS reported a preliminary 21.3% net return on investments for the 12 -month period that
ended June 30, 2021. Under the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy, approved by the CaIPERS Board of
Administration in 2015, the 21.3% net return will trigger a reduction in the discount rate used to calculate
employer and Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) member contributions. The Funding Risk
Mitigation Policy seeks to reduce CaIPERS funding risk over time, in which CaIPERS investment performance
that significantly outperforms the discount rate will trigger adjustments to the discount rate, expected
investment return, and strategic asset allocation targets. This is the first time it has been triggered. The
discount rate, or assumed rate of return, will drop to 6.8%, from its current level of 7%.
Based on these preliminary fiscal year returns, the CaIPERS has announced the funded status of the overall
Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) is an estimated 82%. This estimate is based on a 7% discount rate.
Under the new 6.8% discount rate, however, CalPERS indicated the funded status of the overall PERF drops
to 80%. This is because existing assets are assumed to grow at a slightly slower rate annually into the future.
As intended under the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy, the lower discount rate increases the likelihood that
CAPERS can reach its target over the longer term. The CaIPERS Board of Administration will continue to
review the discount rate through its Asset Liability Management process during the rest of the calendar year
and has planned to address this topic at its November 2021 meeting.
CaIPERS' final fiscal year 2021 investment performance will be calculated based on audited figures and will
be reflected in contribution levels for contracting cities, counties, and special districts in fiscal year 2024.

NOTE 9 - RISK MANAGEMENT
A. Risk Pool
The Town 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 Town participates in the Pooled Liability Assurance Network Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA), a self-
insurance pool. The PLAN JPA Plan provides certain levels of liability insurance coverage, claims
management, risk management services and legal defense to each participant. The Town's general liability
claims are insured up to $5 million per occurrence and $30 million per year. The Town's property claims are
insured for up to $30 million per year. The Town has a deductible or uninsured liability of up to $25,000 per
claim. Once the Town's deductible is met, PLAN JPA becomes responsible for payment of all claims up to the
I.imit. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Town contributed $196,939 for current year coverage
plus settlement payments. Part of the contribution is to maintain the Plan's reserve at 60 percent confidence
funding level, per the annual actuarial report, to meet future claim liabilities.
Settlement amounts did not exceed insurance coverage for the past three years. The Town also received
$1,448 in insurance recoveries during fiscal year 2021. The Town's insurance costs will increase/decrease
based on its own adverse claims experience and the adverse claims experience of other agencies in the
Town's risk pool.
The Shared Agency Risk Pool Joint Powers Agency (SHARP JPA) Shared Risk Pool (Pool) covers workers'
compensation claims up to $250,000 each and has coverage above that limit to the statutory maximum. The
Town has no deductible for these claims. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Town contributed
$79,820 for current year coverage.
As of June 30, 2021, the Town does not have earthquake insurance.
Each risk pool is governed by a Board consisting of representatives from member municipalities. The
Board controls the operations of each risk pool, including selections of management and approval of
operating budgets, independent of any influence by member municipalities beyond their representation
on the Board. The Town's contribution to each risk pool is generally equal to the ratio of the Town's
payroll to the total payrolls of all entities participating in the same layer of each program further adjusted
for adverse claims experience, in each program year.
Actual surpluses or losses are shared according to a formula developed from overall loss costs and
spread to member entities on a percentage basis after a retrospective rating. Financial statements for
each agency can be obtained from PLAN, 1750 Creekside Oaks Drive, Suite 200, Sacramento, CA, 95833.
• For PLAN JPA and SHARP JPA, all participating members are responsible for their weighted share of claim
liability and to replenish the Plan/Pool reserve fund as necessary.

NOTE 10 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A. Commitments and Contingencies
The Town is subject to litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of the Town Attorney,
there is no pending litigation that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the
Town.
B. Service Concession Arrangements (SCA)
In February 2014, the Town and Victoria Dye Equestrian, LLC (VDE) entered into an agreement to operate
the Westwind Community Barn (Westwind) which is owned by the Town. VIDE provides horse boarding and
equestrian classes to the community. The Town provides a monthly subsidy to VIDE to defray costs related
to managing barn operations and shares in certain utility costs. VDE remits 25% of all equestrian class
revenues to the Town and the Town keeps 25% of revenues it collects for equestrian camps the Town offers
operated by VDE. Westwind activity is included in the Town's General Fund.
NOTE 11— OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
A. General Information About the OPER Plan
Town employees are provided with other postemployment benefits (OPER) through the Town's agent multi-
employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan (the "Plan") administered by the California
Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS). The Plan consists of participating employers of the State
of California and public agencies. During fiscal year 2008, the Town elected to prefund its OPEB liabilities
through an irrevocable trust, the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT). CERBT is administered
by CalPERS. CERBT is a tax qualified irrevocable trust organized under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
Section 115,
The CERBT was established by Chapter 331 of the 1988 California Statues, and employers elect to participate
in the CERBT to pre -fund health, dental, and other non -pension postemployment benefits for their retirees
and survivors.
B. Plan Description
The Plan provides postemployment healthcare benefits to eligible employees who retire directly from the
Town under CalPERS at the minimum age of 50 with at least 5 years of WIPERS service or disability. Retirees
must make a retirement election with CalPERS within 120 days following the date of separation from the
Town. Benefit provisions are established, and may be amended, by the City Council. The following Note 11C
below is a summary of Plan benefits by employee group as of June 30, 2021.

NOTE 11— OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPER) (CONTINUED)
C. Benefits Provided
The Town participates in the CalPERS healthcare program (PEMHCA) and allow retirees to continue
participation in the medical insurance program after retirement. Under the Plan, the Town reimburses a
portion of the premium for retiree medical coverage as follows:
• Retirees from the Town and employees receiving Town medical benefits as of October 11, 2007 are
eligible for a Town contribution up to an amount that is equal to what active employees receive in the
cafeteria plan. As stated above, an individual must also qualify as a CalPERS annuitant in orderto receive
this benefit.
• Employees hired or first receiving Town medical benefits after October 11, 2007 are only eligible to
receive a Town contribution equal to the PEMHCA minimum upon retirement from the Town. As stated
above, retirees must qualify as a CalPERS annuitant and meet all statutory and legal requirements
necessary to receive this benefit.
D. Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
Membership in the plan consisted of the following at the measurement date of June 30, 2021:

G. Net OPEB Liability
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
The Town's net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2020 and the total OPEB liability used to calculate
the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2020 that was rolled forward
using standard update procedures to determine the total OPEB liability as of June 30, 2021, based on the
following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Assumptions:
Actuarial Valuation Date June 30, 2019
Measurement Date June 30, 2020
Actuarial Cost Method Entry -Age Normal Cost Method, level percent of pay
Asset Valuation Method Market Value of Assets
Long Term Return on Assets 6% as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019
net of plan investment expenses and including inflation.
Discount Rate 6.00%
Participants Valued Only current active employees and retired participants and
covered dependents are valued. No future entrants are
considered in this valuation.
Salary Increase 3% per year, used only to allocate the cost of benefits
between service years.
General Inflation 2.5% per year
Healthcare Trend Rate 5.40% in 2021, reducing a tenth of a percent per year in
2026 & later.
Mortality rates were based on the CalPERS published rates and adjusted to back out 20 years of Scale BB to
central year 2017 and then projected by medical plan premiums and claims costs by age that are assumed
to increase once each year. The required PEMHCA minimum employer contribution (MEC) is assumed to
increase annually by 4.5%.
The demographic actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on the 2017
experience study of the CalPERS system using data from 1997 to 2015, except for a different basis used to
project future mortality improvements.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best -estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB
plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are
combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of
return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.

G. Net OPEB Liability (Continued)
The Town has elected CERBT Strategy Risk Level 1. This portfolio consists of assets management internally
by CalPERS and/or external advisors. The CalPERS Investment Committee and Board of Administration
directs the investment strategy and investments of the CERBT. As the CERBT is not a defined benefit plan,
there is no guarantee that the portfolio will achieve its investment objectives nor provide sufficient funding
to meet these employer obligations. CalPERS will not make up the difference between the employer's CERBT
assets and the actual cost of OPEB provided to the employer's plan members. These investments are not
insured by FDIC, CaIPERS, the State of California, or any other government agency.

I. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.0%. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from the Town will be made at contractually
required rates, actuarially determined. Based on this assumption, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was
projected to be available to make all projected OPER payments for current and inactive
employees. 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. There has not been a change
in the discount rate since the prior measurement date.

resources related to OPEB, and OPER expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Town'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 CERBT. For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when
currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
At June 30, 2021, the City reported a payable of $166,338 for the outstanding amount of contributions to

Required Supplemental Information
NOTE 1 - BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Town follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the required supplementary
information:
1. The City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means
of financing them.
2. Public hearings are held to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a minute order.
4. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund.
However, any revisions that increase total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the City
Council. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level without City
Council approval.
5. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Amounts presented include amendments approved by the City Council.
NOTE 2 - PENSION LIABILITY AND RELATED CONTRIBUTIONS
These schedules present information that shows the Town's proportionate share of the pension liability in the
cost sharing pools, actuarial information, and contributions. The proportionate share information is useful in
determining the Town's liability in relation to all other entities in the pool.
NOTE 3 - SCHEDULE OF CHANGES IN THE TOWN'S NET OPEB LIABILITY AND RELATED RATIOS
This schedule shows the funding progress for the Town's Other Postemployment Benefits whether the actuarial
value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits as
required by current standards. There are no factors that significantly affect the identification of trends in the
amount reported. Only years when actuarial valuations were performed are shown. Additional years will be
included as subsequent valuations are performed.

*** Change in Financial Reporting in 2018
Note 1: In fiscal year 2015-16, there are changes to the account groupings between programs. For comparison purpose, we added
an additional column for fiscal year 2014-15, in which the 2014-15 audited numbers are regrouped to be consistent with the new
grouping in 2015-16. One main difference in the 2014-15 numbers is in the treatment of overhead allocation paid by the sewer fund.
The original 2014-15 audited charges for services included $46,860 overhead allocation to sewer operations.
The new grouping records this as "transfers".

** Change in Financial Reporting in 2018
Note 1:
In fiscal year 2015-16, there are changes to the account groupings between
programs. For comparison purpose,
we added an additional
column for fiscal year 2014-15, in which the 2014-15 audited expenditures were regrouped to be consistent
with the new grouping in 2015-16.
One major difference in the 2014-15 numbers is the treatment of overhead allocation. The original 2014-15
audited expenditures for
Administration was reduced due to overhead charges to other programs.
Under the 2015-16 new groupings, overhead allocation was
eliminated within General Fund and overhead charges to other governmental funds and sewer funds are reported as "transfers"
rather than "expenditures" /"expenses".
