Page 4, paragraph 1, sentence 3: “He noted if there is a year where the inflation cap maybe
may be 2%, the PPA would kick them up by 3% or 4%.”

initiated to level the City’s payments for the next 12 years and it would be fully funded at the
end of those 12 years.” [?]

Page 11, paragraph 6, sentence 1: “Chair O’Neil advised if the City is doing everything correctly
and there is still a surplus after that, then there is a fiscal policy in place that mandates taking
half of it and putting half towards long-term liabilities and half towards neighborhood
improvements.”
Page 11, paragraph 7, sentence 2: “He recommended as the City looks long term and talks
about what is the increasing deficit over time, he would like it listed as a box underneath that
has it listed as a percentage of total revenue so it can be relevant to something.” [?? I don’t
recall what was said, but the reference to the City’s “increasing deficit” is hard (at least for me)
to relate to the preceding paragraphs that refer to the City always having projected surpluses.]
Page 11, paragraph 8: “Committee Member Collopy advised he and Chair O’Neill were on the
Finance Committee when the Finance Team was asked to invent a model. He recalled hiring a
consultant to get it started, but noted staff has taken it to the next level in all the assumptions
and complimented the staff.” [This is likely what was said, and could be correct, but I seem to
recall hearing (or at least believing) that former Deputy Director Steve Montano built the long-
term projections spreadsheet on his own.]
Page 12, paragraph 1: “Deputy Finance Director Michael Gomez reported the City’s internal
audit program was initiated in 2020 with the goal of continuous review and improvements to
financial operations. He reported there are currently 3 three items being reviewed with an
expectation that those will be completed and presented to the Finance Committee in March. He
advised the initial assessment completed by Moss Adams determined the number of different
recommendations of topics that staff could deep-dive into to continue with improvements in
financial operations. He reported that to date, 5 five of these items have been completed, and
three are near completion now. He advised one of the items has been delayed until the next
fiscal year.”
Page 12, paragraph 5 from end, sentence 2: “He anticipates completing 3 three items next
fiscal year pending any discussion regarding the Police Property Review.”
Page 12, last paragraph: “Deputy Finance Director Gomez advised mentioned the Moss
Adams initial report when they were looking at the Business Continuity and Disaster Planning
Assessment, and Finance Customer Service Operational Review, which was looking at
organizational structures, processes, and frameworks.” [?]
Page 13, full paragraph 3: “Deputy Finance Director Gomez advised the balance of the list
could go out for bid and could come back to the Finance Committee with recommendation
recommended topics to tackle next year.”
Page 13, Item E, paragraph 1, sentences 1 & 2: “Chair O’Neil reported in February, the
Finance Committee would be taking a look at the CIP update in February which will be very
helpful because it covers much of what was discussed today. He advised they will also look at
the financial statement audit results and related communications along with the enabling
resolutions resolution that deals with the responsibilities of the Finance Committee.”

A. CALPERS UPDATE Summary: Staff will provide the Committee with an overview of the data from the latest actuarial reports from CalPERS as well as their impact on prior projections of the paydown of the City's unfunded pension liability. Recommended Action: Receive and file.
Kerry Worgan, Supervising Pension Actuary from CalPERS, provided a brief overview of the fiscal status of CalPERS, which had $440 billion in assets as of June 30, 2022. He reported the statewide pension system was 72% funded as of June 30, 2022, which includes the 7.5%
loss on investments in Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Mr. Worgan reported that for every dollar that CalPERS pays to a retiree or beneficiary $0.60 comes from investment earnings, $0.29 comes from employers, and $0.11 comes from employee contributions. He noted that pension funding breakdown varies based on safety versus miscellaneous employees and Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013
(PEPRA) employees. Finance Director Al-Imam explained that the slide being presented represents CalPERS as a statewide pension system, which means it does not represent the City of Newport Beach. He advised the City has taken great strides towards cost sharing with employees and expressed his belief that the breakdown between the employee and the employer is closer to a 50/50
split. Mr. Worgan presented the CalPERS Portfolio Composition and advised the current asset allocation on June 30, 2022 is public equity at 50%, private equity at 8%, fixed income at 28%, and real assets at 13%. He noted that new target allocations were established in 2021 when CalPERS completed its Asset Liability Management Study. Committee Member Collopy inquired if the public has much visibility into private equity. Mr. Worgan explained that since they are private deals there is not a whole lot of public disclosure. He expressed his belief that some information can be requested from the CalPERS Board through the Investment Committee. Committee Member Collopy clarified the question that the private equity valuation is elusive. He inquired how the $52.8 billion is determined. Mr. Worgan explained there is a group that values private equity and noted it takes approximately 3 months to get that information. He advised the report is done every quarter for all the private equity deals that CalPERS is involved in. Committee Member Collopy asked Mr. Worgan to explain how private equity is valued. Mr. Worgan explained that real assets are similar to private equity and referenced for example that in real estate the City may own a building of some kind, and someone would need to place a value on that. Committee Member Collopy noted that last year private equity has come out of favor and noted that CalPERS is over the target in private equity by 4%. He commented that CalPERS is bullish on private equity and asked if CalPERS intended to trim that down and asked how the returns have been in private equity in relation to all the other investments. Mr. Worgan acknowledged that returns are coming down but there is a benchmark return and that private equity for that period earned 21%.

Finance Committee Meeting Minutes January 12, 2023
Page 3 of 14
Committee Member Collopy inquired if private equity valuation growth was up 21% not private equity return. Mr. Worgan clarified that private equity return growth was up 21%.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained that the 21% return on private equity includes both realized and unrealized returns. Committee Member Collopy inquired if the unrealized return in private equity is real. He expressed concern that it is overweight even though the returns have been great. He noted if those returns are accurate, he will admit he was incorrect but if it is now valued higher
because a private equity venture capitalist said so, he would be skeptical. Finance Director Al-Imam inquired if the investment holding for private equity was 20 years.
Mr. Worgan did not know if they were 20 years but indicated that he thought the holdings were more like 10 to 15 years. He noted the private equity target was 8% through the last
cycle and was increased to 13% as a target. Mr. Worgan reported the actuarial assumptions were changed and noted this happens every 4 years. He indicated that the salary growth assumption increased from 2.75% to 2.8% and
the inflation assumption dropped from 2.5% to 2.3%. He noted that these assumptions were built and based on capital market assumptions as of January 2021. He explained that when
inflation was teetering down those were the assumptions that were looked at and then inflation started to spike up.
Mayor Blom inquired if CalPERS was going to wait another 4 years to revisit these
assumptions.
Mr. Worgan confirmed it would be another 4 years before CalPERS would reevaluate the assumption for inflation. He explained that there is a lot of work that goes into it, and it takes
approximately one year to review all the assumptions and build them into the valuation.
Committee Member Collopy acknowledged it was a lot of work but at the same time, the City is about to make some critical decisions on additional pension contributions towards its
Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL). He noted that the inflation number is patently wrong and CalPERS knows it.
Mr. Worgan explained that CalPERS knows it is wrong today but what is unknown is if it is
wrong for the next 20 years.
Committee Member Reed inquired if the 2.3% is the 20-year inflation cap.
Chair O’Neill inquired how inflation factors into the cost to the City.
Mr. Worgan explained inflation is one of the components of salary increases. He advised they take inflation and add on merit and productivity. He explained if inflation is running at 2.3% assuming that people will probably earn 3% to 4% until retirement. It also gets built into the cost of living in terms of their cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) when they retire. He advised
most plans have a 2% COLA limit and that is what is factored into their benefits in retirement. He noted those are the two primary ways that inflation affects the valuation of the pension
liability. Chair O’Neill inquired if the City’s plan for retirees has a COLA cap of 2%.
City Manager Leung confirmed there is a cap.
6
Finance Committee Meeting Minutes January 12, 2023
Page 4 of 14
Mr. Worgan confirmed there is a 2% COLA cap but there is also the Pension Protection Act (PPA) by which legislature makes CalPERS pay up to 80% of full inflation. He explained that 80% of a retiree benefit at retirement is fully indexed to whatever inflation may be. He noted if there is a year where the inflation cap maybe 2%, the PPA would kick them up by 3% or 4%. He explained there is a carry-forward as well and noted that the retiree is always guaranteed
a 2% cumulative. He advised inflation is 8% for this year and explained retirees will get their 2% and bank the other 6% so when inflation is lower, they can tie into the bank age to get their full 2%. Committee Member Collopy inquired if the City’s number is $333,046,257 would it move the needle if the salary goes up 5 basis points and inflation comes down 20 basis points.
Mr. Worgan agreed it would not move the needle too much. He explained demographic impacts hardly move the needle. He explained investment returns are really what drive costs. He explained mortality is another significant assumption that is based on the 80% of
the Society of Actuaries (SOA) mortality table. He reported that due to the pandemic, 2021 had a 20% excess mortality rate and 2022 had a 15% excess mortality rate and are driving a
lot of the costs. He acknowledges there is currently turmoil in terms of demographic impacts between inflation, mortality, and salaries. He noted there will be another salary increase on the horizon due to inflation and is unsure how the State through their bargaining is going to react to that.
Mr. Worgan presented the 2021 Asset Liability Management Study and the new asset mix
that was adopted by the CalPERS board. He noted there was a large drop in Global Equity from 50% to 42%. He advised Private Equity increased from 8% to 13%. He noted Private
Debt is a new capital that is going from 0% to 5%.
Committee Member Reed inquired about the private debt and inquired if CalPERS was buying private bonds.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained the new asset mix adds up to 105%, which means
CalPERS will borrow up to 5% to fund its investment portfolio.
Mr. Worgan confirmed CalPERS introduced leverage to the portfolio to take an extra 5% loan to invest in assets.
Committee Member Collopy referenced the fact that the private debt is leverage and
emphasized that is extremely aggressive for what CalPERS is paid to do.
Mr. Worgan presented the June 30, 2021, Actuarial Valuation Reports which were published in July 2022, and noted the next report will be available in July 2023. He reported the Fiscal
Year 2020-21 investment return was 21.3%, which brought the City’s funded status to 80% compared to 69% funded as of June 30, 2020. He explained the -7.5% loss on investments in
Fiscal Year 2021-22 is not reflected in the June 30, 2021 valuation. However, Mr. Worgan projects the City’s funded status as of June 30, 2022 will be back to where it was in the 2020
valuation. Mr. Worgan reported that when the investment return reached 21.3% it triggered the Funding Risk Mitigation Policy, which resulted in a decrease in the discount rate. He explained the
thinking behind this is that some of these excess gains are used to pay down some of the risk in the portfolio to lower the volatility in the portfolio but comes with additional costs. He noted
it is a cost versus risk tradeoff. He explained when there is a system as large as CalPERS with this many stakeholders it is hard to meet everyone’s needs and expectations. He encouraged stakeholders to talk to the CalPERS Board on some of the issues in terms of how much risk they are comfortable with.

Finance Committee Meeting Minutes January 12, 2023

Mr. Worgan explained that because the discount rate is now 6.8% if the returns are more than 8.8% in the current fiscal year, the discount rate will be dropped to 6.75%. He noted that was good news if good returns can be earned but it comes with additional costs. Chair O’Neill explained one of the things he is thinking about is what happens to cities when they pay the default amount only because most of the cities in Orange County are paying the
default amount. Finance Director Al-Imam reported some cities are making additional discretionary payments on the same scale as Newport Beach. He noted some cities are also putting money into a separate Section 115 Trust which is restricted but does not get credited towards the funded status.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained a Section 115 Trust falls under the IRS Treasury regulations that allows for the investment of pension funds that is not constrained by local government investing standards which are typically limited.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained the City has a minimum payment of $30 million per year
but is paying $45 million, which means future increases in amounts required to be paid to CalPERS do not have a direct impact on the City. Committee Member Collopy explained the City is paying that additional $15 million to reduce
the time dimension. He noted he could also make the argument that the City is putting in the ADP to make it 7 years and not 12 years.
Chair O’Neill asked Mr. Worgan to talk about the Fresh Start Funding Option.
Mr. Worgan explained the City did this over 6 years ago when it took all of its basis into a
fresh start pick-up period. He explained the blue line is the City’s current baseline of costs projected with the -7.5% loss on investments for Fiscal Year 2021-22. He explained the chart
shows that if a fresh start was initiated to level the City’s payments for the next 12 years and be fully funded at the end of those 12 years. He explained that the danger to this is that the
new minimum payments are locked in and cannot be undone.
Chair O’Neill inquired if he was talking about the difference between $30 million to $37 million.
Mr. Worgan confirmed it would be $30 million climbing to $42 million would be replaced with
a level payment of $37 million.
Chair O’Neill noted the City is currently paying $45 million.
Mr. Worgan explained that the yellow line models what would hypothetically happen if there were another bad year again with a -7.5% loss.
Chair O’Neill inquired if the City initiated a Fresh Start based on the most recent valuation it
would be $37 million which is the orange line but if there was a 7.5% loss again it would be reflected in the yellow line. Finance Director Al-Imam explained the City has been proactive at shortening that
amortization schedule, but CalPERS has a policy that says it cannot be extended out because they do not want cities refinancing and spreading it out over 30 years. He further
explained that since the City has been so proactive about shrinking it, it is constrained to a 12-year period where it cannot be pushed out and would lock it in a $37 million. Committee Member Collopy inquired if the staff foresees a recommendation back to the City
Council with our review of the Fresh Start.

City Manager Leung advised staff has not talked about it further and noted the City is in a good place with its long-term financial plan. She reported the City has been disciplined in the last 4 years and does not see a change in this piece. Chair O’Neill reported that he asked for this analysis.
Committee Member Collopy noted it is a great chart and a great discussion. He agreed that with the discipline and sophistication around the Finance Committee and in the City Council, hopefully, future City Council will get there with the current approach. City Manager Leung explained there is a very short cycle right now because of all the past
discipline and structure in place. She noted if the City was still 20-plus years out there, it would be a different conversation. Chair O’Neill referenced the chart comparing the other Orange County cities and noted it
would be great to see a comparison of how cities did in a bad year. He recalled that even in a couple of bad years, Newport Beach did better than most of the other agencies because of
the ADPs but would be intrigued to see how other cities funded status changed in 2022. He acknowledged it is a lot of work but advised it would be very helpful to see the comparison. Committee Member Collopy inquired how pension costs related to public safety are
accounted for those cities that contract with the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD). He inquired if their UAL is allocated to their
members.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained it is allocated to members in the form of required contributions from those cities that contract with the OCFA and OCSD.
Committee Member Collopy clarified he was asking about whether the portion of the
unfunded pension liability related to public safety for members of the OCFA and OCSD is reflected on the balance sheet of those cities.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained it is not on the balance sheet of those cities that are
members of the OCFA and OCSD. He explained that, for example, the City of Tustin contracts with OCFA and that they pay for their share of OCFA’s pension liability in the form
of their budget contributions, but the portion of OCFA’s pension liability it is not on the City of Tustin’s financial statements.
Chair O’Neill explained this is why the City would need to compare itself to Fullerton, Costa
Mesa, and Anaheim.
Mr. Worgan advised there are some new POBs for Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Chair O’Neill explained that one of the big reasons people said not to do POBs is that if there is a massively negative year the City has now taken on debt to take on more debt.
Chair O’Neill noted it is always going to be a little off in showing other cities' funded status because they have to pay the debt no matter how it plays out. He noted the risk is always timing and if you believe the market is overvalued that is not the time to do it.
Chair O’Neill noted he will only be on the Finance Committee for another 2 years and would
not like to see a POB or Section 115 Trust. Chair O’Neill noted it would be helpful to see this chart but with the -7.5% loss.
Mr. Worgan agreed to provide that to the Finance Committee with that comparison.

Chair O’Neill clarified that $330,881,000 million in UAL losing 7.5% resulted in a $107 million increase to the City’s UAL. Mayor Blom noted the City allocated funds towards the UAL to get it down.
Chair O’Neill remarked that is why the City does not try to time the market. Mayor Blom noted it is not always 50% of the City’s surplus that needs to be allocated to this if the City is tepid about what is happening in the markets. Committee Member Collopy noted it all goes back to investment return.
Finance Director Al-Imam indicated that the expected rate of return is 6.8%. Therefore, the -7.5% loss on investments for Fiscal Year 2021-22 equates to a 14.3% loss from an actuarial and funding perspective.
Committee Member Collopy inquired if it is possible to pay less than the minimum payment.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained if an agency elects to pay its annual UAL amount upfront at the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1st, a 3% to 3.5% discount is applied to the minimum amount that is required to be paid to CalPERS. City Manager Leung reported that has been done in the past.
Mr. Worgan reported that 75% of the plans pay upfront and get a discount rate. Finance Director Al-Imam explained that CalPERS gives a discount on the annual UAL amount that is paid upfront because CalPERS expects it can earn effectively half of what they need to earn if you give to them 100% by July 1st. He noted the investment risk is when
CalPERS does not earn 7%. Chair O’Neill recalled that staff decided to smooth it out and reduce the risk.
Committee Member Collopy recalled the City earned 2% of its liquid portfolio last year and recommended considering the prepayment.
Chair O’Neill and City Manager Leung agreed it is worth investigating. Committee Member Collopy noted the City is making 2.2% on all cash.
Mayor Blom noted if the funds are sitting in the City’s accounts for 6 months, and even though CalPERS is giving the City a 3% discount, the City might absorb a larger loss over that 6 months.
Committee Member Collopy noted the City would pay for that loss anyway without a return.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained the -7.5% loss extends out the pension paydown plan by two years, which means the City expects to have its pension liability paid off in 2032 instead of 2030. He also presented the normal cost rates for active employees and the shift in the
demographics.
Committee Member Collopy inquired if the City has PEPRA Safety.
Chair O’Neill confirmed the City has PEPRA safety and it is almost 50/50.

Finance Director Al-Imam explained that every year the City looks at the actuarial valuation, the investment return, and demographic-related impacts. He noted it is a moving target, which is why the pension paydown strategy is revisited each year. Chair O’Neill reported his general takeaways from this are that he agrees that the City maintains its course. He noted the fresh start slides were very helpful, but he is not inclined to
recommend doing that again at this time. He recommended taking another look at it in a year or two depending on how the next couple of years go. He noted investment returns may change and a partial fresh start may make sense in the future. Chair O’Neill opened public comments. Seeing none, Chair O’Neill closed public comments.
Mr. Worgan noted that so far, the City’s been applying these additional payments to the long-term base. He advised it may be worth analyzing some short-term strategies. Committee Member Collopy inquired if the City has the option to do that.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained the City picks the basis that gives it the greatest savings.
He advised that some cities do opt for the shorter basis because it gives them more savings in the upcoming years. Chair O’Neill noted that the goal is not to smooth out payments, but the goal is to pay it off.
Committee Member Collopy inquired if the portfolio can be blended.
Chair O’Neill explained the City is not allowed to pick how it is invested only where it is
applied. He explained that in some years where the return is 21% it will be a credit and in some years with a 7.5% loss it will be a debit. He noted in theory, the City could apply the
ADP toward that 7.5% and essentially get rid of that slice of the pie. He explained that fresh start takes the basis points that are individually sliced and puts them together but at that
point, there is a minimum amount to pay. He explained when the City was doing its partial fresh start it was not taking all of the basis and putting them together. He advised the rule is
the City cannot do that and have a lower normal payment out of it. He noted that was the higher default payment the City was making. He advised the City does not need to do that.
The item was received and filed.
B. LONG RANGE FINANCIAL FORECAST UPDATE Summary: Staff will brief the Committee regarding the results of the updated LRFF analysis. Recommended Action: Receive and file.
Finance Director Al-Imam reported the Long-Range Financial Forecast is a planning tool that
guides fiscal policy and sets the stage for the development of the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which is Fiscal Year 2023-24. Looking at next year, General Fund Revenues are projected to increase approximately $7 million offset with a comparable increase in expenditures, resulting in a projected operating surplus of $7 million. The General Fund is
expected to maintain a balanced operating budget for the foreseeable future and is well-positioned to maintain long-term fiscal sustainability.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained that General Fund revenues are primarily derived from
Property Tax, Sales Tax, and Transient Occupancy Tax, which accounts for approximately 73% of total General Fund revenues. 60% of the General Fund’s expenditures relate to
personnel, which includes salaries, benefits, and pension related payments to CalPERS. The balance is spent on capital related transfers to other funds, and other operating costs such as contract services.

Finance Director Al-Imam reported that the local economy is currently supported by a strong labor market with the unemployment rate in Orange County at 3%. However, consumer demand is cooling as the Federal Reserve continues to aggressively raises interest rates to fight inflation. Nonetheless, the economic outlook for the City is projected to remain positive for the foreseeable future, although a slower rate of growth is projected for the upcoming year
compared to what has been seen in the past few years coming out of the recession. Committee Member Collopy inquired why Tidelands Harbor Capital Fund was flat-lined to $4.5 million after 2030. Senior Budget Analyst Amber Haston reported staff made that recommendation to the Finance
Committee last year based on the programming at that time to ensure that everything was funded. Committee Member Collopy recommended reconsidering it or at least continuing to inflate that
because the seawall is going to be a huge expense.
Mayor Blom concurred. Finance Director Al-Imam explained that bids for capital projects are coming in above the engineer’s estimate, which is due to inflation. He explained that requests for additional funding
will need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and will need to be factored into the budget for next fiscal year.
Mayor Blom noted as far as projections go the percentage locked in should be consistent and
not assume that it will ever drop to a flat line projection. He advised whether it is a project programmed or not it makes sense for the City to budget through it rather than looking for
savings within it.
Committee Member Collopy reported he had a conversation with Finance Director Al-Imam before the meeting and noted this model is more sophisticated than he recalls on all their
assumptions. He explained the inflation the City is seeing on projects has increased tremendously. He advised he spoke with Finance Director Al-Imam regarding the Police
Department building and inquired how the City can accelerate it so it can afford it. He explained the building is going to cost twice as much as the staff thinks it could cost.
Chair O’Neill advised he does not disagree with Committee Member Collopy. He advised he
asked Finance Director Al-Imam and City Manager Leung to look at the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). He noted there are a lot of projects in the CIP between now and then and
anticipates all of them to be coming up higher than budgeted. He advised the City may not be able to pull forward the police station because of other priorities including the fire station and
library at the end of Balboa that will happen between now and then. He advised it may end up that the expenditures, particularly the transfers-out or maybe even the non-personnel costs
would shrink the anticipated surplus a bit.
Finance Director Al-Imam reported that property tax revenues are primarily dependent on the assessed valuation established in January of each year. Projections for Fiscal Year 2022-23 property tax revenues reflect a 7.6% increase in assessed property values. Property tax revenues are projected to increase by $4.5 million or 3.4% in Fiscal Year 2023-24, which is
largely related to the inflation adjustment indexed at the 2% cap allowed by Proposition 13, and due to changes in ownership, which is partially offset with an anticipated decrease in
supplemental property tax revenue as home sales slow due to rising interest rates. Property tax revenues are projected to grow 2% to 4% per year over the next two decades, which is conservative considering the average annual growth rate was 5.8% over the past 18 years.

Finance Director Al-Imam reported sales tax revenue is projected to increase approximately $260,000 (0.5%) in Fiscal Year 2023-24 due to modest growth projected in sales tax revenue from Restaurants and Hotels and the State & County Pools, which is partially offset with projected decreases in General Consumer Goods and Autos & Transportation. It was noted that these four industry groups make up 86% of the City’s sales tax revenue. The sales tax forecast is based on most recent sales data for the quarter ending September 2022, which was
up 10% on an adjusted basis compared to the same quarter a year ago versus 17% growth in the quarter ending September 2021. As a result, growth has been decelerating over the past two years, which is expected to continue as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates. Finance Director Al-Imam reported on Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue and projected
growth next year at 3% which is quite conservative. He advised the last 6 years it has been at 4%. He acknowledged the pandemic had an immediate impact, but the City bounced back quite quickly.
Finance Director Al-Imam reported that other revenues include, services, charges, fines, penalties, property, income, other miscellaneous revenues, and transfers in as well. He
projects growth of $1.3 million on a dollar basis which is 1% over the prior year. He noted that includes annual lease revenue from the Dove Street property, which is expected to close escrow in the next couple of months.
Senior Budget Analyst Haston reported on the expenditure side for salaries and benefits. She advised staff has incorporated all the recently approved increases in compensation through
December 2024 and then thereafter 2% growth in salaries is projected. She reported that special and other pay are projected to grow at a rate of 3% annually. She noted that included
in this category is the one-time allocation of the $880,000 which is to assist in fully staffing the Police Department.
Senior Budget Analyst Haston reported benefits are projected to grow 2% annually which is
consistent with salaries and noted it includes the continued funding of the City’s UAL at the $45 million level citywide.
Committee Member Collopy inquired about the General Fund portion of UAL.
Finance Director Al-Imam explained that $42 million is the General Fund’s portion of the $45
million UAL payment.
Senior Budget Analyst Haston reported a 1.5% reduction in the employee’s share in pension contributions to CalPERS through Fiscal Year 2024-25 was also included in the forecast
through December 2024.
Senior Budget Analyst Haston reported non-personnel costs make up 28% of the total expenditures and staff is projecting this to grow 5.1% annually and are comprised of a variety
of expenditures. She noted the projection did take into account trends, inflation, contract services in recent Consumer Price Index (CPI), and historical trends. She advised staff
projected those to increase at 5.5% each year but noted staff did not broadly project that increase taking into account that a lot of those contracts cap the rate at which the City can increase by CPI. She reported utilities are projected to grow at 6.8%.
Senior Budget Analyst Haston reported there is no structural deficit projected at this time. She advised the City is facing potentially financially impactful events in the near term such as
increases to CalPERS pension costs, future recessions or shifts in consumer habits, and a high inflationary environment impacting capital improvement projects.

Chair O’Neil noted that high inflationary capital improvement projects are either being transferred over to the Facilities Financial Plan (FFP) or it is coming out of a future General Fund. Chair O’Neil emphasized it is really important for the Finance Committee to absorb what the report is showing because it shows apples to apples when comparing year over year. He
advised the Finance Committee has typically been looking at the Long Range Financial Forecast without transfers in but it is not listed in the actual budget. He noted that the projected Fiscal Year 2022-23 is up $9 million higher than anticipated on the revenue side. He reported the Finance Committee will continue to look at the surpluses which are there, but the numbers are not small and they continue to grow year over year on a projected basis. He projected a structural surplus of $12 million but expressed a belief that will shrink due to the cost of CIP.
Mayor Blom advised the takeaway from this committee is that it is being conservative and responsible and doing everything it is supposed to do. He agrees there will be some kind of issue the City will need to deal with but does not think it will affect the City dramatically since it
has good insulation.
Chair O’Neill acknowledged some major projects are coming down the pike such as Balboa Island drainage and the seawalls. Committee Member Collopy noted that his point a few meetings ago was not that a surplus is
as bad as a deficit. He noted it is good budgeting and believes the City has been conservative in its budgeting.
Chair O’Neil advised if the City is doing everything correctly and there is still a surplus after
that, then there is a fiscal policy in place that mandates taking half of it and putting half towards long-term liabilities and half towards neighborhood improvements. He noted the City needs to
have the departments it has to meet the expectations of the residents. He explained that at the end of the year, there is a surplus, which goes into making the City look nicer, and in turn,
property values go up which increases property tax revenue. He referenced the Street Pavement Index and explained when it gets below a certain threshold it starts escalating the
costs exponentially. He noted if cities are not budgeting properly and do not end up with a surplus and are still not covering costs there is a massive problem. He expressed concern that
the City is not setting aside enough for FFP for future projects. He recommends the Finance Committee take a look at that along with the Harbor Master Plan.
Committee Member Reed noted that in CalPERS actuarial assumptions they modeled
increased salaries of 2.8% in the long-term and the City is using 2% and would like to see the 2.8% in the model. He recommended as the City looks long term and talks about what is the
increasing deficit over time, he would like it listed as a box underneath that has it listed as a percentage of total revenue so it can be relevant to something.
Committee Member Collopy advised he and Chair O’Neill were on the Finance Committee
when the Finance Team was asked to invent a model. He recalled hiring a consultant to get it started, but noted staff has taken it to the next level in all the assumptions and complimented
the staff. Chair O’Neill opened public comments. Seeing none, Chair O’Neill closed public comments.

Page 12 of 14
Deputy Finance Director Michael Gomez reported the City’s internal audit program was initiated in 2020 with the goal of continuous review and improvements to financial operations. He reported there are currently 3 items being reviewed with an expectation that those will be completed and presented to the Finance Committee in March. He advised the initial assessment completed by Moss Adams determined the number of different
recommendations of topics that staff could deep-dive into to continue with improvements in financial operations. He reported that to date, 5 of these items have been completed, and three are near completion now. He advised one of the items has been delayed until the next fiscal year. Mayor Blom inquired why it was delayed until the next fiscal year.
Deputy Finance Director Gomez explained it was delayed due to budgeting and Finance Committee agreed to move the Police Property Review to the next fiscal year so that additional funds could be requested during the budgetary process.
Committee Member Collopy inquired about the cost.
Deputy Finance Director Gomez explained the bids received were $85,000 on the high end and $40,000 on the low end. He noted the company that the City was going to award the work to came in at $67,000. He explained the Police Department is audited regularly.
Committee Member Collopy inquired who was conducting the auditing.
Finance Director Al-Imam noted the Police Department is audited by the Department of
Justice.
City Manager Leung explained there is a lot of governance around it because of the cash and drugs.
Chair O’Neill noted this is an area of special concern for the Police Department’s Office of
Professional Standards.
City Manager Leung explained this was to look at the operational processes they have in place, from their management supervision to what controls they put in place.
Committee Member Collopy advised he was concerned with the tactics and not the strategy.
Chair O’Neill recommended the Newport Beach Police Chief speak to Committee Member
Collopy to determine if Police Property Review is necessary.
Deputy Finance Director Gomez reported staff recommends continuing on the path and going down the list in order as recommended by Moss Adams. He anticipates completing 3 items
next fiscal year pending any discussion regarding the Police Property Review. He noted staff is open to any suggestions from the Finance Committee.
Deputy Finance Director Gomez anticipates the work to come back to the Finance Committee for discussion in the January or February timeframe.
Committee Member Collopy recommended moving Item No. 12 before Item No. 10 and solicited input from the dais.
City Manager Leung noted she had no strong feelings either way. Deputy Finance Director Gomez advised the Moss Adams initial report when they were
looking at the Business Continuity and Disaster Planning Assessment, and Finance
15
Finance Committee Meeting Minutes January 12, 2023
Page 13 of 14
Customer Service Operational Review, which was looking at organizational structures, processes, and frameworks. He believes the City is well-armed in terms of responses to any type of disaster. Committee Member Collopy advised he is not concerned about Fire and Police but is concerned regarding the continuity of City Hall and governance of the City. He advised he
would leave it up to City Manager Leung. City Manager Leung noted that some of the other topics would be helpful right now with Finance Director Al-Imam being new to the operation. She advised they might be able to do Items No. 10 through 13 if the Police Property Review is not conducted.
Deputy Finance Director Gomez advised the balance of the list could go out for bid and could come back to the Finance Committee with recommendation topics to tackle next year. Chair O’Neill opened public comments. Seeing none, Chair O’Neill closed public comments.
The item was received and filed.
D. BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR QUARTER ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2022 Summary: Staff will report on the budget amendments from the prior quarter. Recommended Action: Receive and file.
Chair O’Neill reported budget amendments were almost entirely City Council this time around.
Chair O’Neill opened public comments. Seeing none, Chair O’Neill closed public comments.
The item was received and filed.
E. WORKPLAN REVIEW Summary: Staff will report on the upcoming Finance Committee items. Recommended Action: Receive and file.
Chair O’Neil reported in February, the Finance Committee would be taking a look at the CIP
update in February which will be very helpful because it covers much of what was discussed today. He advised they will also look at the financial statement audit results and related
communications along with enabling resolutions that deals with the responsibilities of the Finance Committee. He reported the Finance Committee will also be talking about the FFP
and the Harbor Beaches Master Plan. He noted they will also be discussing the Harbor Department budget, staffing reviews, and recommended changes from City Manager Leung.
He noted they will be begin reviewing the upcoming budget shortly beginning with an overview of the revenue projections in March.
The item was received and filed. VI. ADJOURNMENT The Finance Committee adjourned at 4:55 p.m. to the next regular meeting of the Finance Committee on February 16, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. The agenda for the Regular Meeting was posted on January 6, 2023, at 4:41 p.m., in the binder and on the City Hall Electronic Board located in the entrance of the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive.

Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council,
and Residents of the City of Newport Beach, California
The City Charter and California state law require that the City of Newport Beach (“City”)
issue a complete set of financial statements annually and that an independent firm of
certified public accountants audit this report in conformance with generally accepted
auditing standards (“GAAS”). The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (“ACFR”) of
the City of Newport Beach for the year ended June 30, 2022 is hereby submitted.
The ACFR was prepared in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”).
This report consists of City management’s representations concerning the finances of the
City of Newport Beach. Responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the data
presented rests with the City. Management of the City is also responsible for establishing
and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the
government are protected from loss, theft, or misuse, and to ensure that adequate
accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal control structure
is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are
met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and
benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. We believe the information
presented in this report is complete and accurate in all material respects, and that it is
reported in a manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of
operations of the various activities of the City of Newport Beach.
The City of Newport Beach’s financial statements have been audited by DavisFarr LLP,
a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the audit was to provide
reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City of Newport Beach for the
fiscal year (“FY”) ended June 30, 2022 are free of material misstatement. The
independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based on the audit, that
there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the City of Newport
Beach’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022, are fairly presented in
5
32
conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first
component of the financial section of this report.
A narrative introduction, overview, and analysis accompany the basic financial statements
in the form of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”). The letter of
transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with
it. The City of Newport Beach MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the
independent auditors and will provide further information regarding the format and content
of this report.
PROFILE OF THE CITY
Newport Beach is a community located in the coastal center of Orange County, in the
heart of Southern California, with Los Angeles County to the north and San Diego County
to the south. There are currently 34 cities within the county. In terms of population,
Orange County is the third largest county in California trailing Los Angeles and San Diego.
It is the sixth largest county in the nation.
The general vicinity of Newport Beach and Orange County relative to the counties of Los
Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego is illustrated on the map below:

Newport Beach surrounds Newport Bay, well known for its picturesque islands and one
of the greatest recreational harbors in the world, accommodating about 9,000 recreational
and sports charter boats docked within its 21-square-mile harbor. The bay and the ten
miles of ocean beach offer outstanding fishing, swimming, surfing, and aquatic sports
activities. The City has a permanent population of 83,727, which typically grows to well
over 100,000 during the summer months, including 20,000 to 100,000 or more tourists
daily. There are fine residential areas, modern shopping facilities, and a quality school
system. The University of California, Irvine, is located immediately adjacent to the city,
and several other colleges are within a 30-mile radius.
The following map illustrates the communities within Newport Beach; the upper bay, the
recreational harbor, and beachfront topography; and the city’s location relative to the
bordering cities of Costa Mesa to the north, Irvine to the east, and Laguna Beach to the
south.
Newport Beach was incorporated on September 1, 1906. The City Charter was originally
adopted in 1954 but has been updated and amended over time. The City is governed by
seven Council Members, and operates under a Council-Manager form of government.
Council Members are elected by district but voted on by the population as a whole, and
serve four-year staggered terms. The Mayor is selected by the City Council from among
its membership and serves a one-year term. The City Council is responsible for, among
7
34
other things, policy-making, passing local ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing
committees, and hiring the City Manager, City Attorney, and City Clerk. The City Manager
is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, for
overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, and for appointing heads of
departments.
The City of Newport Beach is a full service city providing its residents and visitors with the
following functional services: general governance, legal, financial, information
technology, and administrative management; police, fire, paramedic, lifeguard, and
emergency medical transport services; engineering, construction, and maintenance of
public facilities, public streets, beaches, and parks; planning, zoning, and economic
development services; building inspection, plan check, and code enforcement services;
libraries and cultural and arts services; recreation and senior services; and water,
wastewater, and street light utility services. The City provides water and wastewater
service to most areas within the city limits, but it does not provide gas, cable television,
electrical, or other utility services. Public elementary and secondary education is provided
by the Newport-Mesa Unified School District and the Laguna Beach Unified School
District.
Component Unit: The City’s financial statements present the financial activity of the City
of Newport Beach (the primary government) and the Newport Beach Public Facilities
Corporation (a component unit of the City). The Corporation is blended into the City’s
financial statements because of its operational and financial relationship with the City.
Even though it is a legally separate organization, City of Newport Beach elected officials
are accountable for fiscal matters of the Corporation. Additional information about the
Newport Beach Public Facilities Corporation and the reporting entity in general can be
found in Note (1a) of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
DEMOGRAPHICS

The effective buying income and median household income are generally higher in
Newport Beach than in other areas of the State and the U.S. overall. As illustrated by the
table below, Newport Beach’s median household income is nearly twice that of the U.S.
median household income.
The leading industries here are professional, scientific, health care, finance, insurance,
legal, and travel/tourism. Unemployment in the City declined to 2.6% as of November
2022 due to the easing of restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and is
lower compared to the state’s 4.0%, and the county’s 3.0%, as illustrated in the following
chart.
More detailed information concerning the City’s demographics and statistics are
contained within the Statistical Section of this report.
LOCAL ECONOMY
Financial results at the end of the fiscal year, along with key economic indicators such as
unemployment rates, taxable sales and assessed property values, are indicative of the
recent robust improvement to the local economy after emerging from the global
pandemic. As COVID-19 related restrictions were significantly reduced around the
beginning of the fiscal year, the City experienced a rebound in revenues much quicker
than anticipated. As consumer demand increased and services returned to normal, the
City ended the fiscal year in a positive financial position with the City’s General Fund
revenue increasing 11.5% from the prior fiscal year.

As briefly noted in the preceding demographics section, after a sharp increase in the
unemployment rate due to the pandemic, the unemployment rate has decreased a
combined 4.2% over the past two years and is back to pre-pandemic levels. This is further
evidence that the local economy is returning to normal levels as more people re-enter the
local workforce. As such, consumer spending is expected to continue to improve which,
will support additional growth in tax revenues. While recent trends in inflation provide
cause for concern in the broader economy, the City is well positioned to overcome these
pressures as any short-term increase in inflation would have a corresponding increase in
tax revenues.
TOP THREE REVENUE SOURCES
Most General Fund revenue categories performed at or higher than their budgeted levels
for the fiscal year due to more favorable economic conditions than anticipated when the
budget was developed in April 2021. Actual revenues were $22.1 million or 9.2% higher
than final anticipated estimates. As discussed in more detail below, the primary positive
variances were in sales tax and transient occupancy taxes.
The top three individual revenue sources, Property Taxes, Sales Taxes and Transient
Occupancy Taxes (TOT), represent 75.3% of all General Fund revenues. Tax revenues
in total, including business licenses, franchise fees, and other taxes represent 80.4% of
all General Fund revenues, while only 19.6% is generated from other revenue sources.
Property Taxes
Unlike many cities, property taxes, not sales taxes, are the number one source of revenue
for the City of Newport Beach, representing almost half (47.5%) of all General Fund
revenues. Due to the limited supply of scenic coastal property and the unique access to
Newport Bay, the Newport Beach community has developed into affluent residential
neighborhoods and high-end commercial districts. Consistent and vigorous demand for

coastal property has allowed the City to enjoy long-term growth trends with its number
one revenue source. Property tax revenues for Fiscal Year 2021-22 came in $2.1 million
or 1.7% higher than originally budgeted, which is an indication of timely property tax
payments and higher valuations.
Detached single-family residential property values generally trended positively during the
fiscal year. The median home sales price of detached single-family residences in
Newport Beach was $3.8 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2022, up 3.9% from the
prior quarter and 18.7% higher than the quarter ending June 30, 2021. Newport Beach’s
estimated median detached single-family residence price of $3.8 million far exceeds the
countywide estimated median value of $1.2 million. With positive trends in Newport Beach
home prices, this category will likely continue to improve, which bodes well for future
secured property tax revenues. This positive trend is illustrated in the table below.
After Californians passed Proposition 13 in 1978, assessed property value is reassessed
to market value only when the property changes ownership. Otherwise, the assessed
value (“AV”) grows by no more than two percent per year. This practice creates a
constant lag and buffer between assessed and market values, effectively insulating the
tax base from more market volatility.
While property tax growth rates fell sharply during the Great Recession, the City has
experienced positive AV growth during each of the past 28 years (see chart below with
the past 15 years of AV growth demonstrated). This positive growth occurred while many
other cities experienced decreases in their AV during 2008 through 2011. Note that while
growth slowed, the assessed value never declined throughout the recession.

Value changes in Newport Beach show continued appreciation in property values in
Fiscal Year 2021-22. Over the past 10 years, assessed valuation increased an average
of 5.9% per year and 6.1% over a twenty-year period. Newport Beach’s assessed
property values increased 4.5%, with a local assessed value of $66.6 billion for Fiscal
Year 2021-22.
Sales Taxes
The second largest funding source for the General Fund is sales tax revenue, making up
about 17.6% of General Fund revenues. The City’s sales tax base is largely generated
from three industry categories – autos and transportation, general consumer goods, and
restaurants/hotels. Most of these industries are also heavily impacted by tourism.
Based on the strong growth seen in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2021-22 and the
projections from the City’s sales tax consultants, staff estimated the sales tax revenue for
Fiscal Year 2021-22 to finish the year at $45.4 million in the third quarter budget update.
Actual sales tax receipts came in at $46.2 million, or $765,000 over staff’s most recent
estimate.
This increase results from two primary drivers. First, while auto sales have slowed due
to inventory shortages, price increases have more than offset this decline and have
resulted in strong growth in this category of sales tax revenues of 10.6% over Fiscal Year
2020-21. Second, revenues from brick-and-mortar retail establishments and restaurants
& hotels have now surpassed the pre-pandemic high as consumer behavior has largely
returned to normal. These revenues grew at rates of 30.3% and 37.0%, respectively,
versus Fiscal Year 2020-21. Also factoring into the strong growth is revenue from fuel
and service stations, with 46% growth versus the prior year due to higher fuel prices and
higher demand.
The City’s sales tax base is generated from a relatively diverse business community and
is not dependent on any one merchant or industry. The following chart demonstrates the
diversity of the City sales tax revenue. The largest segment, “General Retail”, accounts

for 37.0% of total sales taxes. The next largest segments, “Transportation” and “Food
Products” account for 36.2% and 19.1% of total sales taxes, respectively. The next
largest sales tax segment, “Business to Business” accounts for 6.8% of total sales.
Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT)
TOT accrues to the City at a rate of 10% of room charges with 18% of this collection going
to the local destination marketing organization (Visit Newport Beach) to promote Newport
Beach as a tourist destination. The City distinguishes its transient occupancy taxpayers
in two broad property type categories, commercial and residential property. The
commercial category is composed of approximately 21 hotels and resorts and accounts
for approximately 75 percent of TOT revenues. The residential category is made up of
approximately 1,594 vacation rentals representing 25 percent of TOT revenue.
TOT was the City’s most severely impacted revenue source as the pandemic unfolded
and most major hotels within the City were temporarily closed. The City has seen a steady
rebound and comeback for TOT revenues as the effects of the pandemic have receded.
Initially, the TOT budget for the Fiscal Year 2021-22 was developed in anticipation of full
recovery of TOT revenues not occurring until the end of Fiscal Year 2022-23. However,
staff’s revised projection in the second and third quarter budget updates estimated TOT
revenues to finish at a record high level. Actual TOT revenues came in at $26.7 million,
or $7.6 million over the Fiscal Year 2021-22 adopted budget.
Two factors caused this significant increase in TOT revenues. First, revenue from short-
term lodging businesses is at a record high level. Second, many hotel properties are
reporting record high TOT receipts and have been doing so for multiple consecutive
months. While occupancy levels have not returned to pre-pandemic levels, they are
slowly increasing. This lag in occupancy levels has been largely offset by higher daily
room rates, resulting in hotel TOT revenues that are projected to approach the pre-
pandemic high in Fiscal Year 2022-23. When taken together, the strong growth in
residential TOT makes up for the slightly lower hotel TOT revenue and the two in total

have resulted in a record year for TOT revenues for the City. The below data provided by
Visit Newport Beach illustrates these very positive trends.
LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
The City continues to be in excellent financial health due to its strong underlying tax base,
disciplined fiscal decisions, and stable governance. Conservative budgeting and sound
financial policies have resulted in a trend of General Fund operating surpluses and strong
reserve levels for several years. This is still no less the case even amid the significant
economic downturn the City experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The City
annually completes a Long-Range Financial Forecast covering the next 20 years
pursuant to City Council Policy F-3 – Budget Adoption and Administration. That forecast
shows positive General Fund results in each of the next 20 years and does not indicate
any long-term financial trends of concern. The City’s long-term financial planning has
been guided by its strong financial policies, prudent budgeting decisions, and proactive
planning in such critical areas as facilities replacement and pensions. These policies are
regularly evaluated and updated as conditions and needs change.
Financial Policies
The City Council has adopted prudent fiscal policies concerning its investments, reserves,
budget administration, revenue initiatives, competitive contracting, facility replacement
planning, and more. The budget surplus utilization policy directs the use of surplus funds
resulting from unrestricted General Fund annual revenues exceeding total actual
expenditures, encumbrances, and commitments for that year. Roughly fifty percent of the
budget surplus is used to address long-term obligations such as pension liabilities, other
post-employment benefits, bonded debt, lease obligations, and other long-term needs.
The remaining surplus is used to address one-time infrastructure or neighborhood capital
improvements, guided by a philosophy that these expenditures improve the community’s
safety, aesthetics, transportation, or quality of life. The City’s debt policy establishes
criteria for the issuance of debt and assures that the amount of any debt is affordable and
cost effective. The City’s debt policy was recognized by the California Debt and
Investment Advisory Commission as one of only 14 counties and cities in California
14
41
whose policies have 20 or more debt management best practice elements. The City’s
debt and other financial policies can be found on the City’s website in the City Council
section under City Government at:
www.newportbeachca.gov/policies
Annual Budget
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of Newport Beach’s financial
planning and control and allows the City Council to prioritize City expenditures so that
they are aligned with core community values. Per current policy, appropriations for
operating expenditures are balanced in relation to current revenue sources and do not
rely on one-time revenue sources or reserves. When significant uncertainty exists
concerning revenue volatility or threatening/pending obligations, the City Council and City
Manager reserve the right to impose any special fiscal control measures, including
personnel hiring freezes, and other spending controls, as was the case in FY 2019-20
and in the development of the FY 2020-21 budget. As a result of early retirement plans,
attrition, outsourcing, and lay-offs implemented in the years following the onset of the
Great Recession, the full-time work force was reduced by approximately 4% between FY
2012-13 and FY 2016-17 as depicted in the chart below. In the years since, thoughtful
additions to the City’s workforce have been implemented with a continued focus on fiscal
discipline and maintaining balanced budgets.
The City has traditionally taken a conservative approach to forecasting revenues, often
assuming only modest growth. This fiscal conservatism has created a stable financial
base. As a result, even in a downturn, the City of Newport Beach is able to maintain its
services at a high level, while reducing expenses to accommodate reduced revenues.
The City’s fiscal discipline has allowed it to prepare balanced budgets and to save, both
during prosperous and difficult economic periods. As the economy continues to improve,
these trends are likely to continue.
15
42
The City Council may authorize the use of Contingency reserves during emergency
situations as set forth by the Council Reserve Policy. Current policy requires that the
Contingency Reserve equal 25 percent of the General Fund annual “Operating Budget.”
Credit rating agencies consider a high level of available “fund balance” to be a credit
strength. In 2021, Moody’s rating agency reaffirmed the City’s AAA credit rating noting
the City’s extensive tax base, a very strong wealth and income profile, and a robust
financial position. It also noted the City’s moderate debt burden and an elevated pension
burden in its rationale. The City’s has aggressively attacked its unfunded pension liability
and has made regular discretionary payments to reduce that liability at a more rapid pace
than is required by CalPERS, as further described in the Pension section below.
Facilities Financial Plan (FFP) Commitment & Major Construction Initiatives
The City’s FFP is a comprehensive master facilities replacement schedule that projects
the timing of construction of facility projects; projects the schedule of any planned debt
issuance; includes all relevant revenue sources and expenditures on a yearly, project-by-
project basis; and determines the long-term “level funding” annual budget commitment
that is required to support the program. The FFP was the winner of the prestigious “Helen
Putnam Award – Internal Administration” category from the League of California Cities in
2008.
The City continued its financial commitment to the Facilities Financial Planning Reserve
(FFPR) in FY 2021-22 by allocating resources to debt service, a junior lifeguards building
and parks and community centers.
Overall, the FFPR balance is increasing by $6.1million from the prior fiscal year.

Pensions
As of the actuarial valuation date of June 30, 2021, the City had an Unfunded Accrued
Liability (UAL) of $223 million. The City has taken a number of actions in recent years to
mitigate the impact of rising pension costs including:
Established lower benefit formulas for new hires.
Eliminated the Employer Paid Member Contribution (EPMC).
Through negotiated cost sharing, saw employees contribute 59.2% of the Normal
Cost of the plan, or $10.7 million in Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Adopted a fixed and shorter amortization period for the unfunded liability.
Made Additional Discretionary Payments (ADPs)
Contributed no less than Actuarial Determined Contribution (ADC) each and every
year.
Analyzed the schedule of amortization bases annually in an effort to avoid negative
amortization.
Amortized all gains/losses no longer than a 20-year closed period.
Avoided asset smoothing or “rate phase-in” schedules if possible. Otherwise, the
City’s goal is to not exceed 5 years for any one smoothing cycle.
Established a General Fund Surplus Utilization Policy F-5 to set aside one-half of
any annual budget surplus to fund debts such as the pension liability.
Maintained a contingency reserve to protect against economic recessions and to
avoid negative impacts of asset smoothing and rate phased-in schedules.
Local governments with pensions have a total pension liability, which is the obligation to
pay deferred pension benefits in the future. When the total pension liability is greater than
the pension plan’s assets there is a net pension liability, also known as unfunded pension
liability. As required by GASB 68, the City reports the net pension liability in the
government wide financial statements, as well as in the proprietary fund statements, in
the ACFR – see Note (10) of Notes to the Financial Statements.
The City implemented GASB 75 in fiscal year 2017-18, which requires local governments
offering other post-employment health care benefits (“OPEB”) to report net OPEB liability
in the government wide financial statements, as well as in the proprietary fund statements,
in the ACFR – see Note (11) in the Notes to the Financial Statements. When the total
OPEB liability is greater than the OPEB plan’s assets there is a net OPEB liability, also
known as unfunded OPEB liability.
As with past practice, the City will continue to fund its pension and OPEB obligations at
an amount equal to or greater than the minimum employer contribution rate. The City has
not and will never intentionally short-fund its pension and OPEB obligations. Annually the
City evaluates the cost and benefits of paying down the unfunded pension and OPEB
liabilities on a faster schedule. Currently, the City Council has committed to a fixed $40
million per year contribution toward the unfunded pension liability, which is approximately
$10 million more than is required by CalPERS. Fiscal year 2021-22 represented three
years in a row the City Council appropriated an additional $5 million toward accelerated
17
44
payment of the unfunded liability from year-end budget surplus funds. Additionally, in fiscal year 2022-23 City Council proactively appropriated an additional $5 million toward accelerated payment of the unfunded liability from expected structural budget surplus.
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Newport Beach
Newport Beach, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Newport Beach (the “City”), as of and for the year June 30, 2022, and the related notes to
the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Newport Beach’s basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Newport Beach,
as of June 30, 2022, 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 Matter
As described further in note 1 to the financial statements, during the year ended June 30,
2022, the City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement
No. 87. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States
(Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of
our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant

The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Newport Beach
Newport Beach, California
to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s
ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date,
including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance
but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements
are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the
aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the
financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly,
no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain
internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Budgetary Comparison Schedules for the General
Fund and each major special revenue fund, Schedules of Changes in the Net Pension Liability
and Related Ratios, Schedules of Contributions, Schedule of Changes in the Net OPEB Liability
and Related Ratios and Schedule of OPEB Contributions be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although
not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We
have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of
preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s
responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained
during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The Combining and Individual
Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary Comparison Schedules are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing
and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used
to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the Combining and
Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary Comparison Schedules are
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report. The other information comprises the Introductory Section and Statistical
Section but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our
opinions on the financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not
express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other
information and the financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected
material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our
report.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
February 6, 2023, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting
and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and
grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the
scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results
of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over
financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This section of the City of Newport Beach’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
presents management’s discussion and analysis of the City’s financial performance during the
fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2022. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Transmittal Letter at the front of this report and the accompanying Basic Financial Statements.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial section of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report contains the following
information: Independent Auditors’ Report, Management’s Discussion and Analysis (this section),
the Basic Financial Statements, the Required Supplementary Information, and the Supplementary
Information section, an optional section that presents combining and budgetary schedules for
individual non-major funds. The Basic Financial Statements are comprised of three components:
1) Government-wide Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements, and 3) Notes to the
Financial Statements. Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to be an introduction
to the Basic Financial Statements.
BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Government-wide Financial Statements – The Government-wide Financial Statements use the
economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the
accounting standard used by private sector companies. The Government-wide Financial
Statements are intended to provide a “Big Picture” view of the City. With the economic resources
measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting, changes in net position are recognized as
soon as the event occurs regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
The Statement of Net Position includes all of the City’s assets (including non-spendable assets
like streets, roads, and land rights), deferred outflows of resources, liabilities (including long-term
liabilities that may be paid over twenty years), and deferred inflows of resources. All of the current
year revenues and expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Activities regardless of when
cash is received or paid.
The Government-wide Financial Statements report the City’s net position and how they have
changed. Net position – the difference between the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources – is one way to measure the City’s financial health.
Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net position are an indicator of whether its financial
health is improving or deteriorating, respectively. To assess the overall health of the City, one
should also consider additional non-financial factors such as changes in the City’s property tax
base and the condition of its facilities and other major infrastructure.
The Government-wide Financial Statements of the City are divided into two categories:
Governmental Activities – This category depicts the extent to which programs are self-
supporting and the net amount provided by property taxes and other general revenues.
Most of the City’s basic services are included in this category such as public safety, public
works, community development, community services, and general administration. Taxes
and other general revenues finance most of these activities.
31
58
Business-type Activities – The City accounts for its Water and Wastewater utilities as
business enterprises. The City charges fees to customers to recover the cost of providing
Water and Wastewater services.
Fund Financial Statements – A fund is a grouping of related accounts used to maintain control
over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements such
as State and Federal law or bond covenants. Other funds are utilized simply to control and
manage resources intended for particular purposes. The Fund Financial Statements provide more
detailed information about the City’s most significant funds (major funds) but not the City as a
whole.
Fund Financial Statements have a short-term focus measuring inflows of current, spendable
assets. The resulting net difference between current financial assets and deferred outflows of
resources, and current financial liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, otherwise known as
fund balance (or net working capital in the private sector) is a measure of the City’s ability to
finance activities in the near term.
The City utilizes three broad categories of funds:
Governmental Funds – Unlike Government-wide Financial Statements, Governmental
Fund Financial Statements utilize the financial resources measurement focus and thus
concentrate 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. Consequently, the
Governmental Fund Financial Statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps a
reader determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent
in the near future to finance City programs. Also included in the Governmental Funds are
Permanent Funds. These funds are used to report resources that are legally restricted to
the extent that only earnings, not principal, may be used for purposes that support City
programs.
Proprietary Funds – Business-like services for which the City provides goods or services
to the general public are generally reported in Proprietary Funds (Enterprise Funds and
Internal Service Funds). Like the Government-wide Financial Statements, these funds
provide both long and short-term financial information utilizing the economic resources
measurement focus. The City’s Enterprise Funds (Water and Wastewater Funds) are
individual funds represented in the combined presentation of Business-type Activities in
the Government-wide Financial Statements. The individual fund presentation provides
more detailed information about each business segment, its operating statements, and
statements of cash flow. The City also uses Internal Service Funds that are utilized to
report and allocate the cost of certain centrally managed and operated activities (e.g. fleet
maintenance and other equipment, risk management, retiree insurance,
telecommunications systems, information technology services, etc.). Because the Internal
Service Funds primarily serve the government, they are reported with Governmental
Activities rather than the Business-type Activities in the Government-wide Financial
Statements.
Fiduciary Funds – The City utilizes Fiduciary Funds to account for assets held by the City
in a trustee capacity, or as an agent for other governmental entities, private organizations,
or individuals. All of the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate statement of
32
59
fiduciary net position, and a statement of changes in fiduciary net position. We exclude
these activities from the City’s Government-wide Financial Statements because the City
cannot use these assets to finance its operations.
Notes to the Financial Statements – The financial statements also include the Notes to the
Financial Statements that provide important narrative details about the information contained in
the financial statements. Information contained in the Notes to the Financial Statements is critical
to a reader’s full understanding of the Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements.
Required Supplementary Information – In addition to the Basic Financial Statements, we have
included a Required Supplementary Information section, which includes the Schedule of Changes
in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios, the Schedule of Changes in Net Post-Employment
Health Care Benefits (OPEB) Liability and Related Ratios, and the related Schedules of
Contributions for the Pension and OPEB plans.
Supplementary Information – In addition to the required elements of the Basic Financial
Statements, we have also included a Supplementary Information section, which includes
budgetary and combining schedules that provide additional details about the City’s Other
Governmental Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Fiduciary Funds.
ANALYSIS OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Government-wide Financial Statements provide long-term and short-term information about
the City’s overall financial condition. This analysis addresses the financial statements of the City
as a whole.
Net Position Discussion
As shown in Figure 1, the City’s combined net position for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022
was $2.5 billion, increasing $76.2 million or 3.2% over the prior year. Net position can serve as
an important indicator of whether the City’s overall financial condition is improving or deteriorating
over time.
Current and other assets increased $274.8 million. This increase is primarily due to lease
receivables which are required to be reported starting with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022
by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 87 (“GASB 87”). A lease receivable is
now required to be reported based on a present-value estimate of certain lease payments for
leases where the City is the lessor. The remaining $30.3 million increase is attributable to
increases in cash and investments, interest receivables, and intergovernmental receivables,
offset by decreases in accounts receivable (net of allowance), and prepaid items. Capital assets
increased $19.4 million, mostly due to GASB 87, which also requires intangible right to use assets
to be reported based on a present-value estimate of certain lease payments for leases where the
City is the lessee.
Current liabilities increased $6.6 million primarily due to increases in accounts payable and
unearned revenue. The increase in unearned revenue was due to the receipt of federal funds
through the American Rescue Plan Act that had not been spent by the end of the fiscal year.
Long-term liabilities decreased $126.2 million. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in the
City’s net pension liability and net and OPEB liability, offset by an increase in the City’s lease
liability. GASB 87 requires reporting a lease liability based on a present-value estimate of certain
33
60
lease payments for leases where the City is the lessee. See Note (10), Note (11), and Note (18)
of the Notes to the Financial Statements for more information.
Figure 1
Net Position
(in thousands)
The largest portion of the City’s net position, at $2.4 billion of net position, reflects the net
investment in capital assets (e.g., land, right of way, street trees, buildings, infrastructure,
equipment, and intangibles) less accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization, and any
related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to
provide services to residents. Therefore, they do not represent a financial resource to the City
and consequently are not readily available for funding current obligations.
Restricted net position totaled $78.1 million of net position, an increase of $10.9 million from the
prior fiscal year, primarily due to increased restricted net position related to public works and
community services. Public works’ increase is mainly from SB1 Gas Tax RMRA revenues not
being spent during the fiscal year, while community services’ increase is mainly from tidelands
property related revenues not being spent during the fiscal year as resources are being
accumulated for future large scale capital improvement projects related to the harbor.
As of June 30, 2022, unrestricted net position was $20.4 million, an increase of $65.6 million from
the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the receipt of unrestricted revenues such as property taxes
and sales taxes that were not spent or restricted by the end of the fiscal year.

GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
Governmental activities are generally financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and
other non-exchange revenues. The Statement of Activities is intended to illustrate how the cost
of governmental activities is financed and determines the annual change in net position.

Revenues Associated with Governmental Activities Discussion
Figure 2 illustrates in detail how the $301.4 million in Governmental Activities revenue was
derived. Figure 3 summarizes this revenue by major source. As shown on Figures 2 and 3, $67.7
million, or 22.5%, of the revenues were recovered from those who directly benefited from the
programs as a charge for service. Another $25.5 million, or 8.4%, of the revenues were generated
by contributions and grants received from governmental organizations, developers, and property
owners for both capital and operating activities. The remaining $208.2 million, or 69.1%,
represented general revenues of the City including taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other
miscellaneous revenues.

Figure 3
Governmental Activities Revenue Sources
Year Ended June 30, 2022
As illustrated in Figure 2, program revenues related to Governmental Activities increased $7.1
million from the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in charges for
services from recreation fee-based classes, the Junior Lifeguard program, and construction
related plan fees which is indicative of recovery from pandemic related restrictions. Additionally,
capital grants and contributions increased due to contributions from property owners related to
assessment districts. These increases were offset by a decrease in operating grants and
contributions due to a decrease in Covid-19 grant revenue.
The City’s general revenues related to Governmental Activities increased about $16.5 million from
the prior year primarily due to increases in property taxes, sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes,
and other taxes, offset by decreases in investment and other income. Increases in virtually all tax
revenue categories is indicative of a broad recovery from pandemic related restrictions. The
decrease in investment income is due to fair value decreases in the City’s investment portfolio as
the United States’ Federal Reserve raised the federal funds interest rate range in response to
inflation. These fair value decreases are unrealized as the City normally holds investments to
maturity and receives the full par value at the time of maturity.
Property tax is the largest revenue source for the City and collections finished the year $5.2 million
higher than the previous year. This increase was mostly due to an increase in secured taxes as
a robust demand for coastal property continued driving property values higher.
At $46.2 million, sales taxes represent the second largest individual revenue source for the City.
Sales taxes increased $7.2 million from the previous year. This was due to strong consumer
spending on luxury automobiles and the easing of pandemic related restrictions which allowed
retail establishments, restaurants and hotels to surpass pre-pandemic activity.
Transient occupancy taxes (TOT), the City’s third largest revenue source, finished the year at
$26.7 million, which is an increase of $9.8 million from the previous fiscal year. Both hotel TOT

and residential TOT increased, which was mostly due to higher daily hotel room rates and
increased short term residential lodging revenue.
Investment income, comprised of both interest income and unrealized gains/losses, decreased
about $5.4 million from the prior fiscal year. The decrease is from a net decrease in the fair value
of investments, which is consistent with the fiscal year’s generally increasing interest rate
environment.
Expenses Associated with Governmental Activities Discussion
The City is a full-service city providing residents and visitors with the following functional services:
General Government is comprised of six departments (City Council, City Clerk, City Manager,
City Attorney, Human Resources, and Finance) providing general governance, information
technology services, executive management, legal services, records management, risk
management, finance, and accounting.
Public Safety is comprised of two departments (Police and Fire) providing general law
enforcement, fire suppression and prevention services, paramedic and medical transport
services, disaster preparedness, and ocean lifeguard services.
Public Works is comprised of two departments (Public Works and Utilities) providing engineering,
construction and maintenance of public streets, highways, buildings, beaches, parks, facilities
and related infrastructure; as well as traffic engineering and street lighting.
Community Development is comprised of one department (Community Development) that
provides planning, building, and zoning services, economic development services, and building
plan check and code enforcement services.
Community Services is comprised of three departments (Library Services, Recreation & Senior
Services, and Harbor) providing library services, cultural and arts programs, recreation services,
senior social and transportation services, and harbor programs and services.
Business Enterprise Operations are overseen by the Utilities Department providing water and
wastewater services. These are considered business-type activities and are discussed further in
the Business-Type Activities section.
Figure 2 illustrates in detail how the $230.2 million of Governmental Activities expense was
derived. The decrease of $20.5 million from the prior year is mostly due to a decrease in public
safety related pension liabilities. See Note (10) of the Notes to the Financial Statements for more
information.

BUSINESS-TYPE ACTIVITIES
As noted earlier, the City combines the Water Enterprise Fund and Wastewater Enterprise Fund
into Business-type Activities for the presentation of the Government-wide Financial Statements.
Business-type activities are mainly funded by charging fees to customers to recover the cost of
providing services.
Revenues Associated with Business-Type Activities Discussion
As displayed in Figure 2, total revenues related to Business-type activities totaled $36.2 million.
Program revenues totaled $37.0 million and were offset by $845,000 of negative general
revenues related to a net decrease in the fair value of investments. As shown in Figure 7 on the
following page, Water activities represents about $32.2 million (87.0%) of program revenues,
while Wastewater activities represents $4.8 million (13.0%) of program revenues.

Expenses Associated with Business-Type Activities Discussion
Current year expenses for Business-type Activities totaled $31.2 million, a decrease of about $3.0
million over prior year as shown in Figure 2. This is attributable to a decrease in salaries and
benefits, system maintenance, and miscellaneous expenses.
Major Business-type expenses in the current fiscal year included the following:
Water
Of the $27.1 million in water related expenses, $12.3 million (45.3%) is for the purchase of water,
$4.4 million (16.3%) covers employee related costs, $5.3 million (19.5%) is for maintenance,
supplies, and depreciation of the water system, $2.5 million (9.3%) is for professional services,
$1.7 million (6.4%) is for utility payments and the remaining $878,008 (3.2%) is collectively
attributable to other miscellaneous expenses.
Wastewater
Of the $4.1 million in wastewater related expenses, $2.2 million (52.7%) is for maintenance,
supplies, and depreciation of the wastewater system, $1.2 million (30.4%) is for employee related
costs, and the remaining approximately $689,247 (16.9%) is attributable to professional services,
utility payments and other miscellaneous expenses.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to highlight available financial resources and to
ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
Utilizing the financial resources measurement focus, the City’s Governmental Funds provide
information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. This
information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements and may serve as a useful
measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
Fund Balance – As shown in Figure 8, the City’s Governmental Funds reported combined fund
balances of $248.0 million, an increase of $25.7 million from the prior year. The increase is the
net result of increases in fund balances in the Tide and Submerged Land – Operating Fund, Tide
and Submerged Land – Harbor Capital Fund, Facilities Financial Planning Reserve Fund, other
special revenue funds, and other capital projects funds in aggregate; offset by decreases in the
General Fund, Debt Service Fund, and other permanent funds in aggregate. The General Fund
represented $97.1 million or 39.2% of the combined fund balances of the Governmental Funds.

Governmental Funds Fund Balance
(in thousands)
The following describes the classification of fund balance as of June 30, 2022. Additional
information on the City’s fund balance can be found in Note (16) of the Notes to the Financial
Statements.
Nonspendable Fund Balance – The City has $14.1 million in fund balance classified as
nonspendable to indicate that it cannot be readily converted to cash. Of the $14.1 million
nonspendable fund balance, $1.0 million is for prepaid items, $286,074 is for inventories, $8.2
million is for long-term loan receivables, and $4.6 million is for permanent endowments.
Restricted Fund Balance – The City has $73.0 million in fund balance classified as restricted to
indicate that it has an externally imposed restriction on how the money may be spent. Of the $73.0
million restricted fund balance, $3.7 million is restricted in the Tide and Submerged Land –
Operating Fund, of which $2.4 million is restricted for capital projects and maintenance and
repairs, and $1.3 million is restricted for the Upper Newport Bay restoration; $31.5 million is
restricted in the Tidelands and Submerged Land – Harbor Capital Fund for capital projects related
to the harbor; and $2.2 million is restricted for debt service. Of the remaining $35.6 million in

and $1.9 million of fund balance is restricted for permanent funds.
Committed Fund Balance – The City has $77.7 million in fund balance classified as committed
to indicate that the City Council has committed how the money will be spent. Of the $77.7 million
committed fund balance, $4.4 million is committed in the General Fund for encumbrances;
$800,000 is committed in the Tide and Submerged Land – Operating Fund; $34.2 million is

Assigned fund balance is fund balance which is not restricted or committed and is classified as
assigned to indicate the City Manager’s intent to be used for specific purposes.
Unassigned Fund Balance – The remaining $83.2 million in fund balance is classified as
unassigned to indicate that it is the residual balance not otherwise restricted, committed, or
assigned.
Major Governmental Funds results for the year included the following:
General Fund revenues finished $27.1 million or 11.5% higher than prior year mostly due
to a combined $22.2 million increase in the City’s top three revenues sources – property
taxes, sales taxes and transient occupancy taxes – with a $5.2 million increase in property
taxes as the City’s assessed valuation continued to increase due primarily to the
appreciation of home values, a $7.2 million increase in sales taxes as consumer spending
increased and pandemic related restrictions eased, and a $9.8 million increase in transient
occupancy taxes due to higher daily hotel room rates and short term lodging revenues
reaching a record high level. General Fund expenditures finished $6.9 million or 3.4%
higher than the prior fiscal year mostly due to increased costs to comply with state
mandates related to recycling and providing assistance to the local homeless population,
increased costs for contract instructors for fee based recreation classes as Covid-19
restrictions receded, and one-time lump sum payments to employees as part of updating
agreements with employee bargaining units. Though revenues exceeded expenditures
by more than $51.4 million, there were substantial transfers out of the General Fund
totaling $61.5 million mostly for capital improvement projects. In total, fund balance in the
General Fund decreased $8.8 million and ended the year at $97.1 million.
Fund balance for the Tide and Submerged Land – Operating Fund increased $235,043
and ended the current year with $4.5 million in fund balance. The increase was due to the
City’s General Fund subsidizing the operations of the Tide and Submerged Land –
Operating Fund.
Fund balance for the Tide and Submerged Land – Harbor Capital Fund increased $7.9
million ending at $31.5 million. This was largely due to a transfer from the General Fund
42
69
for harbor related capital improvements and net results from operations as the fund
accumulates resources for future harbor related uses.
Fund balance for the Facilities Financial Planning Reserve Fund increased $6.1 million to
end the current year at $34.2 million in fund balance. This was mainly due to the revenue
from donations and transfer in from the General Fund to ultimately cash fund construction
projects related to facilities.
Fund balance for the Debt Service Fund decreased $56,432 ending at $2.2 million. The
decrease was due to administrative charges and debt service related to servicing
certificates of participation.
Proprietary Funds
The City’s Proprietary Funds (Enterprise and Internal Service Funds) presented in the Fund
Financial Statements section basically provides the same type of information in the Government-
wide Financial Statements, but also include information for individual funds.
Enterprise Fund results for the year included the following:
Net position in the Water Fund increased $4.2 million partly due to the continuing
implementation of water service rate increases and reduction in capital improvement
expenses for system maintenance. Additionally, salaries and benefits expenses
decreased mostly due to reduced pension expenses. See Note (10) of the Notes to the
Financial Statements for additional pension information.
Net position in the Wastewater Fund increased $568,619 mainly due to reduced
allocations of administrative and other expenses, and reduced system maintenance
expenses.
Major Internal Service Fund activity in the current fiscal year included the following:
Total net position in the Internal Service Funds increased $1.0 million in the current fiscal
year. This was mostly due to operating income of $3.9 million, which included increases
in revenue from charges for services for equipment maintenance. Operating income’s
contribution to net position was reduced by the net effect of non-operating revenue and
net transfers, which combined reduced net position by approximately $2.9 million.
Approximately $1.3 million was transferred to the General Fund following an analysis of
certain Internal Service Funds that had excess reserves on hand that could be returned
to the General Fund.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
Changes to Original Budget
Final budgeted revenues for the General Fund increased $5.6 million from the original budget
during the year ended June 30, 2022. Factors contributing to this fluctuation are highlighted as
follows:
Property Tax revenue budgets were increased by $1.6 million due to higher prior year total
assessed valuation.
43
70
Final budgeted intergovernmental revenue increased $2.2 million primarily due to
adjustments related to Fire Department mutual aid reimbursements and SB-2 Permanent
Local Housing Allocation grant funds.
Charges for services increased from the adopted budget, in the amount of $964,120. This
adjustment is related to increased revenue received from recreation fee-based classes
and Junior Lifeguard program.
Miscellaneous revenues, donations, and property income all were adjusted upward from
the adopted budget by a total of $804,251. Increases were due to increased percentage-
based rent revenues from the Lido House Hotel lease due to the hotel’s increased
revenues and donations received for various programs.
Final budgeted expenditures for the General Fund decreased $4.7 million from the original budget
during the year ended June 30, 2022. The significant factors contributing to the decrease are as
follows:
The addition of $7.9 million to the benefits and salary budget associated with an additional
discretionary payment of $5.0 million toward the City’s unfunded pension liability and $2.9
million related to approved city contracts with City Employee associations.
Budgeted carryovers from Fiscal Year 2020-21 totaled $3.1 million were added to the
adopted budget.
An amendment in the amount of $637,000 was approved by the City Council to increase
the contract instructor budgets for fee based recreation classes. These increases were
fully offset by the additional revenue in the Service Fees & Charges category.
The above additions were offset by a $17.6 million decrease for the routine reclassification
of General Fund expenditures as Tidelands expenditures. This reclassification occurs at
year end once all such eligible expenditures can be properly attributed to Tidelands
activity.
Variance with Final Budget
Actual General Fund revenues came in at $22.1 million above final budgeted revenues for the
year ended June 30, 2022. Significant factors contributing to this favorable variance are
summarized as follows:
Sales tax revenue came in $5.9 million higher due to strong consumer spending in certain
industries such as autos and transportation, brick-and-mortar retail establishments and
restaurants & hotels, and fuel and service stations.
Transient occupancy tax was $7.6 million higher due to increased revenue from short-
term lodging businesses and many hotel properties reporting record high TOT receipts.
Other Taxes ended the year $2.4 million higher than projected due primarily to strong
growth in property transfer taxes related to a very active housing market.
44
71
Charges for services came in $2.9 million higher due primarily to receipts for paramedic
service fees, plan check fees, as well as revenue received from recreation fee-based
classes and the Junior Lifeguard program.
Property Income ended the year $3.2 million higher mainly due to both parking revenues
and percentage-based rent revenues from the Lido House Hotel ending the year higher
than projected.
Actual General Fund expenditures of $210.4 million were less than final budgetary estimates of
$221.3 million. The $10.9 million favorable variance was due to routine savings in salaries as well
as contract services.
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The City’s capital assets for Governmental and Business-type Activities as of June 30, 2022,
amounts to $2.5 billion, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization. This is comprised of a
broad range of tangible capital assets including land, buildings, machinery and equipment, park
facilities, road improvements, storm drains, piers, oil wells, sound walls, an 800 MHz radio
communications system, parking pay stations and meters, and bridges; and, intangible capital
assets including the rights to use land and rights of way, structures and equipment. The total
capital assets increased $19.4 million over the prior fiscal year, of which $15.6 million was due to
a prior period adjustment to record intangible right to use assets in accordance with GASB 87.
Figure 9
Capital Assets at Year End
(net of depreciation/amortization, in thousands)
Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following:
Capital asset additions totaled $34.0 million in both the Governmental and Business-type
Activities in the current year. Of the $34.0 million, $11.6 million represents additions of
infrastructure assets mostly related to the road system and water system; $5.5 million is
related to equipment and intangible right to use equipment additions; $2.4 million is related

of additions of non-depreciable/non-amortizable assets such as work in progress, $12.1
million, and land and rights of way of $2.4 million.
Of the $28.1 million of additions in governmental assets in the current year, additions in
infrastructure contributed $9.4 million, which was mostly due to upgrades in the road
system. The remaining $18.7 million added in the current year as governmental assets, is
comprised of $2.4 million of land additions and $2.4 million of structure additions both
related to Grant Howald Park upgrades, $8.4 million of work in progress, mostly related to
the ongoing construction of a new fire station and upgrades to the road system, and $5.5
million of equipment and intangible right to use equipment additions mostly related to
vehicle purchases and the use of communication equipment for lifeguard towers.
The $5.9 million of business-type asset additions in the current year is comprised of $2.2
million in water and sewer system infrastructure additions, and $3.7 million of work in
progress additions related to water system improvements.
Additional information on the City’s capital assets can be found in Note (5) of the Notes to the
Financial Statements.
Long-term Debt
Figure 10
Outstanding Debt at Year End
(in thousands)
The City’s total debt decreased $4.3 million during the current fiscal year. The decrease is the
result of expected debt service payments. Additional information on the City’s long-term debt
obligation can be found in Note (6) of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
FACTORS AFFECTING NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
Economy
The local economy is currently supported by a strong labor market with the unemployment rate in
Orange County at 3%. However, consumer demand in certain segments of the economy is
beginning to cool as the Federal Reserve continues to aggressively raise interest rates to fight
inflation. Nonetheless, the economic outlook for the City of Newport Beach is projected to remain
positive for the foreseeable future. A slower rate of growth in the upcoming fiscal year is generally
anticipated for revenues compared to the level of growth that we have seen in the past few years
coming out of the pandemic-induced recession.

Local Revenue Trends
Property tax revenue, the City’s largest source of revenue, is projected to increase approximately
7% next fiscal year, which is largely related to the inflation adjustment indexed at the 2% cap
allowed by Proposition 13 and due to changes in ownership.
Sales tax revenue is the second largest source of General Fund revenue. Approximately 85% of
sales tax revenue is generated from autos and transportation, restaurants and hotels, general
consumer goods, and the State and County pools. Sales tax revenue is projected to increase
approximately 6% next fiscal year due to continued growth across all industry groups, except for
fuel and service stations. The growth in sales tax revenue next fiscal year is largely due to the
following:
Autos and Transportation – After a surge of growth in the wake of the pandemic, it is
expected that the auto industry may face challenges in the years ahead due to a
combination of high prices, rapidly escalating costs to finance a vehicle purchase and a
slowing economy. Supply chain issues and the chip shortage are abating, which is
resulting in lower prices for used cars. We may also see lower prices for new cars if
demand is challenged by the factors already mentioned, which are causing growing
headwinds for the industry. Therefore, modest growth in sales tax revenue from autos and
transportation is projected.
Restaurants and Hotels – Over the past two years there has been a shift in spending from
tangible goods to spending on travel, dining and leisure, and entertainment. Therefore, in
light of continued demand and higher menu prices, robust growth in sales tax revenue
from restaurants and hotels is projected.
General Consumer Goods – Modest growth in sales tax revenue from general consumer
goods is projected as consumers are expected to continue to shift spending on tangible
goods to travel, dining and leisure, and entertainment. It is also expected that high inflation
may result in a decrease in consumer spending on discretionary purchases.
State and County Pools – Continued growth in revenue from the pools is projected next
year as we expect internet sales to continue to grow at a more rapid pace than traditional
brick-and-mortar store sales.
Discretionary Appropriations
The annual budget serves as the foundation for financial planning and control, and allows the City
Council to prioritize expenditures in alignment with core community values. The budget as
adopted is reflective of strong revenues, healthy reserves, and a sound debt position. This budget
reflects a strong local economy that continues to provide stable revenues that support a wide
variety of programs and initiatives.
The City Council adopted a Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget that maintains a deliberate resource
balance between these important municipal expenses:
Addressing long-term obligations such as pension liabilities, post-employment health care
benefits, and debt service;
47
74
Keeping a level of operations that reflects the community’s desire for an active, safe, and
attractive community; and
Investing in infrastructure to maintain a high-quality natural and physical environment.
An aspect of the City’s balanced approach to fiscal management is managing resources as
efficiently as possible, responsibly managing debt, and working collaboratively with employees to
recalibrate the compensation structure and share in the costs of pension obligations.
During the adoption of the budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23, the City Council approved funding for
the continuation of an aggressive pension paydown strategy, which includes $45 million being
paid to CalPERS next fiscal year towards the unfunded liability, which is approximately $15 million
more than the amount required to be paid. If the City continues to pay $45 million annually to
CalPERS towards the City’s unfunded liability, the City projects the pension liability will be
eliminated within the next decade assuming CalPERS earn 6.8% on investments on average over
the next 10 years.
Overall, the City’s total debt burden is low and remains affordable. The economy benefits from
the City's mature, robust tax base and strong employment among a diversity of business sectors,
as well as retail shopping and tourism activity. Residential and commercial property values are
among the highest in the country. Our overall assessed valuation (AV) has been stable despite
the economic downturn between 2009 and 2012, with growth in the each of the last 26 years.
A strong financial profile is a particularly important factor considered by rating agencies in their
evaluation of the creditworthiness of local government debt. The rating agencies Fitch, Moody's,
and Standard & Poor's have all assigned the City the highest quality credit rating of AAA. Moody’s
reaffirmed their AAA ratings in 2021. Expenditure controls within the past decade have included
early retirement incentive plans, increased employee contributions to pension plans, contracting
services, and freezing vacant positions when necessary, usually during recessionary periods.
Financial operations produced net surpluses (after transfers) in the last ten years due to
conservative budgeting and a stable and growing tax revenue base. The City has used surpluses
for important one-time purposes, like paying more towards retirement obligations and investing
in IT and communications infrastructure. Financial management policies are robust and have
continued to improve in recent years.

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Major Funds
The General Fund is used to account for fiscal resources that are dedicated to
governmental operations of the City, and not required to be accounted for in
another fund.
The Tide and Submerged Land – Operating Fund is a Special Revenue Fund
used to account for revenues related to the operation of the City’s tidelands,
including beaches and marinas, and the related expenditures. Revenue from
tideland operations includes, but is not limited to, rents from moorings, piers, and
leases, as well as income from parking lots, meters, and the sale of oil.
The Tide and Submerged Land – Harbor Capital Fund is a Special Revenue
Fund used to account for incremental increases in revenue from certain property
lease, pier, and mooring rentals that exceed Council designated base year
revenue amounts, as well as other designated revenues and the related
expenditures for capital projects, maintenance, and servicing of loan advances
from the General Fund.
The American Rescue Plan Act Fund is used to account for federal funding
received through Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds under the
American Rescue Plan Act.
The Facilities Financial Planning Reserve Fund is used to account for the
receipt and expenditure of funds for the replacement of facilities. In prior years,
this fund was called the Facilities Replacement Fund.
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for debt service transactions related
to the Certificates of Participation issued to finance the construction of the Civic
Center Complex and the construction of Fire Station No. 2.
Other Governmental Funds
Other governmental funds are those governmental funds that do not meet the
criteria of a major fund. For reporting purposes in this section, they are
combined as Other Governmental Funds.

Fund balances of governmental funds 247,967,182$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are
different because:

as financial resources in governmental fund activity. Amount excludes
capital assets from internal service funds which are added below. 2,321,566,334
Long-term liabilities applicable to the City's governmental activites are not due and payable
in the current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities.
All liabilities (both current and long-term) are reported in the Statement of Net Position.
Amounts exclude long-term debt activity from internal service funds which have been
added below:
Certificates of participation payable - Series 2010B (94,465,000)
Certificates of participation payable - Series 2020A (7,085,000)
Bond premium - Series 2020A (1,148,895)
CDBG loan (208,000)
Lease liability (13,057,605)
Pension related debt applicable to the governmental activities are not due and payable in
the current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities. Deferred outflows
of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pension are only reported in
the Statement of Net Position as the changes in these amounts affect only the

service fund activity which has been added below:
Deferred outflows of resources 51,252,394
Deferred inflows of resources (78,709,554)
Pension liability (168,348,987)

activities, such as self-insurance, workers' compensation, compensated absences,
retiree insurance, fleet management and information technology, to individual funds.
The assets (including capital assets) and liabilities of the internal service funds must be
added to the statement of net position. 45,616,057
Investment in joint ventures is not a current financial resource and therefore not reported
in the governmental funds.241,967

25,664,972$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities differ
from the amounts reported in governmental funds because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities, the costs of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives (678,348)
as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation exceeded
capital outlay in the current period.
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while
repayment of the principal and issuance costs of long-term debt consumes the current financial
resources of the governmental funds. Issuance of bond principal is an other financing source and
repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in governmental funds, but the issuance increases
long-term liabilities and the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position.
The amounts are the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt:
Repayment of principal on bonds 4,135,000
Amortization of principal on leases 1,003,250
Premium on bonds is recognized as revenues in the period received; however, in the
statement of activities, it is amortized over the life of the bond.
Amortization of bond premium - Series 2020A 142,131
Accrued interest for debt service is the net change in accrued interest for the current period. 122,176
Pension expense reported in the governmental funds includes the employer contributions made.
In the Statement of Activities, pension expense includes the change in the net pension liability
and related change in pension amounts for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows
of resources.37,868,065
OPEB expense reported in the governmental funds includes the employer contributions made.
In the Statement of Activities, OPEB expense includes the change in the net OPEB liability
and related change in OPEB amounts for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows
of resources.2,890,389
Some of the revenue will be collected after year-end, but is not available soon
enough to pay for the current period's expenditures, and therefore is reported as
unavailable revenue in the governmental funds. This is the net change in unavailable revenue
for the current period.(722,579)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, such as self-insurance, workers' compensation, compensated absences,
retiree insurance and fleet management, to individual funds. The net revenue of the internal
service funds is reported in the statement of activities. 1,042,536
Investment in joint ventures creates an explicit, measurable equity interest reported only
in the statement of activities.(14,895)
Internal balance created by the consolidation of internal service funds activities related
to enterprise funds is reflected as a reduction of revenues in the statement of activities. (221,770)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of Newport Beach (the “City”) have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as
applicable to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”)
is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and
financial reporting principles.
a. Reporting Entity
The City of Newport Beach was incorporated on September 1, 1906. The current
City Charter was adopted in 1954. Since adoption, the Charter has been amended
several times. The most recent Charter amendment was approved by the voters
on November 2, 2010. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of
government and provides the following services: public safety (police, fire, and
marine), highway and streets, cultural and recreation, public improvements,
planning and zoning, utilities, and general administrative services.
The financial statements present the financial activity of the City of Newport Beach
(the primary government) and its component unit. The component unit discussed
below is included in the City's reporting entity because of the significance of its
operational or financial relationship with the City. This entity is legally separate
from the City. However, the City of Newport Beach’s elected officials have
continuing full or partial accountability for fiscal matters of the component unit. The
financial reporting entity consists of: (1) the City, (2) organizations for which the
City is financially accountable, and (3) organizations for which the nature and
significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause
the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
An organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government if it is unable to
adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without
approval by the primary government. In a blended presentation, a component
unit’s balances and transactions are reported in a manner similar to the balances
and transactions of the City. Component units are presented on a blended basis
when the component unit's governing body is substantially the same as the City's
or the component unit provides services almost entirely to the City.
Blended Component Unit
The financial statements of the City of Newport Beach include the financial
activities of the Newport Beach Public Facilities Corporation (the "Corporation").
The Corporation was formed on March 9, 1992, for the purpose of assisting the
City of Newport Beach in the financing of public improvements, including the City’s
Central Library, Civic Center, and most recently the new Fire Station No. 2. The
Corporation is governed by a Board of Directors, which is comprised of the seven
City Council Members of the City of Newport Beach. The Corporation's financial
84

data and transactions are included in the debt service fund. Separate financial
statements are not prepared for the Corporation. The debt service fund is used
solely to account for the activities of the Corporation and contains no other City
debt financing activities.
b. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
Government-wide financial statements
Fund financial statements
Notes to the financial statements
Government-wide Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements display information about the reporting
government as a whole, except for its fiduciary activities. These statements include
separate columns for the governmental and business-type activities of the primary
government (including its blended component units). The City of Newport Beach
has no discretely presented component units. Eliminations have been made in the
Statement of Activities so that certain allocated expenses are recorded only once
(by the function to which they were allocated). However, general government
expenses have not been allocated as indirect expenses to the various functions of
the City.
Government-wide financial statements are presented using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the
economic resources measurement focus, all (both current and long-term)
economic resources and obligations of the reporting government are reported in
the government-wide financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when
revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the
financial statements. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues, expenses,
gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like
transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place.
Program revenues include charges for services, special assessments, and
payments made by parties outside of the reporting government’s citizenry if that
money is restricted to a particular program. Program revenues are netted with
program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net cost of each
program.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the
government-wide financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure.
Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the government-wide
financial statements, rather than as an other financing source. Amounts paid to
85
112
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting government are reported as a
reduction of the related liability, rather than as an expenditure.
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted
(e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to
calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net
position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow
assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered
to be applied. It is the City’s practice to consider restricted-net position to have
been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.
Fund Financial Statements
The underlying accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the
basis of separate funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting
entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, deferred inflows/outflows of
resources, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate.
Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds
based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which
spending activities are controlled.
Fund financial statements for the primary government’s governmental, proprietary,
and fiduciary funds are presented after the government-wide financial statements.
These statements display information about major funds individually and non-
major funds in the aggregate for governmental and enterprise funds. Fiduciary
funds are excluded from government-wide financial statements. Fiduciary
statements include financial information for fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds of the
City primarily represent assets held by the City in a custodial capacity for other
individuals or organizations.
Governmental Funds
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the
modified-accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they
become measurable and available as net current assets. Measurable means that
the amounts can be estimated, or otherwise determined. Available means that the
amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to
be available to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period. The City
uses an availability period of 60 days for all revenues.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, gas taxes, motor vehicle license fees,
transient occupancy taxes, grants, and interest associated with the current fiscal
period are all considered to be subject to accrual and so have been recognized as
revenues of the current fiscal period to the extent normally collected within the
86
113
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
availability period. Other revenue items are considered to be measurable and
available when cash is received by the City.
Revenue recognition is subject to the measurability and availability criteria for the
governmental funds in the fund financial statements. Exchange transactions are
recognized as revenues in the period in which they are earned (i.e., the related
goods or services are provided). Locally imposed derived tax revenues are
recognized as revenues in the period in which the underlying exchange transaction
upon which they are based takes place. Imposed non-exchange transactions are
recognized as revenues in the period for which they were imposed. If the period of
use is not specified, they are recognized as revenues when an enforceable legal
claim to the revenues arises or when they are received, whichever occurs first.
Government-mandated and voluntary non-exchange transactions are recognized
as revenues when all applicable eligibility requirements have been met.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the
current financial resources measurement focus. This means that only current
assets and deferred outflows of resources, and current liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources are generally included on their balance sheets. The reported
fund balance is considered to be a measure of “available spendable resources”.
Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other
financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund
balance. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of
“available spendable resources” during a period.
Non-current portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are
reported on their balance sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for
governmental fund types excludes amounts represented by non-current liabilities.
Since they do not affect “available spendable resources”, such long-term amounts
are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the
year that resources were expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of
long-term debt are recorded as other financing sources rather than as a fund
liability. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as fund
expenditures.
Permanent Funds, also referred to as Endowment Funds, are governmental funds
used to report resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only earnings,
and not principal, may be used for purposes that support City programs. The
amount of net appreciation on investments that is available to support City
programs is $1,857,493. The amount of investment earnings available for
expenditure is reported as Restricted Fund Balance in the fund level financial
statements. The endowment principal is reported as Nonspendable for Permanent
87
114
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
Endowments in the Balance Sheet. The State law governing the spending of
endowment funds investment earnings is California Probate Code Section 18504.
The authority for spending investment earnings for scholarships resides with the
City Manager, and the authority for periodic maintenance dredging in the Newport
Bay resides with the City Council.
Proprietary & Fiduciary Funds
The City’s enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund
financial statements, proprietary and fiduciary funds are presented using the
accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and
expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the
fund financial statements, proprietary funds are presented using the economic
resources measurement focus. This means that all assets, deferred outflows of
resources, all liabilities and deferred inflows of resources (whether current or non-
current) associated with their activity are included on their balance sheets.
Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and
decreases (expenses) in total net position.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from
exchange transactions associated with principal activity of the fund. Exchange
transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal
values. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies, taxes, and investment
earnings result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities. Amounts
paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the proprietary fund
financial statements, rather than reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long-term
debt are recorded as a liability in the proprietary fund financial statements, rather
than as other financing sources. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness
of the proprietary funds are reported as reductions of the related liabilities, rather
than as expenditures.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a proprietary
fund, expenses are considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then
from unrestricted resources.
Fiduciary funds are also reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
c. Fund Classifications
The City utilizes the following broad categories of funds:
Major Funds – Major funds are those funds which are either material or of

Standards Board (GASB) Statements:
GASB Statement No. 87 – “Leases”, effective for periods beginning after June
15, 2021. This statement changed the calculation and presentation of lease
related amounts in the City’s financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 92 – “Omnibus 2020”, primarily effective for periods
beginning after June 15, 2021. The implementation of this statement did not
have a material impact on the financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 93 – “Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates”, effective
for periods beginning after June 15, 2021 The implementation of this statement
did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
GASB Statement No. 97 – “Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting
and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred
Compensation Plans – an amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No.
84, and a supersession of GASB Statement No. 32”, effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2021, except for the requirements of paragraphs 4
and 5. The implementation of this statement did not have a material impact on
the financial statements.
Pending Accounting Standards
GASB has issued the following statements, which may impact the City’s financial
reporting requirements in the future:
GASB Statement No. 91 – “Conduit Debt Obligations”, effective for periods
beginning after December 15, 2021. The primary objective of this statement is
to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issues and
eliminate diversity in practice.
GASB Statement No. 94 – “Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and
Availability Payment Arrangements”, effective for periods beginning after June
15, 2022. The primary objective of this statement is to improve financial
reporting by addressing issues related to public-private and public-public
partnership arrangements.
GASB Statement No. 96 – “Subscription-Based Information Technology
Arrangements”, effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022. This
statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for
91
118
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for
governments.
e. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent all service and capital project billings other than
intergovernmental receivables stated below. As of June 30, 2022, accounts
receivable deemed to be uncollectible with an outstanding balance over 120 days
past due were written off the City’s accounting records to ensure that the income
statement and balance sheet are fairly stated at the amount expected to be
collected in receivables. Receivables with governmental organizations are
generally excluded from the write-off as they are more likely to be received due to
the governments’ creditworthiness.
f. Cash and Investments
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined to be cash on hand, demand deposits and
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of
purchase.
Investments
Investments are generally stated at fair value which is 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.
Cash and investments are pooled to maximize investment yields. The net change
in fair value and interest earned on the investments is allocated to the respective
funds based on each fund’s average monthly cash and investments balance.
The City’s investment in LAIF is $35,655,882 at June 30, 2022. This investment
value is based on information provided by the State Treasurer’s Office. The
carrying value of the City’s position in the fund is materially consistent with the fair
value of the fund shares. This pool is under the regulatory oversight of the State
Treasurer’s Office. The LAIF Board consists of five members as designated by
Statute. The Chairman is the State Treasurer, or her designated representative.
Two members qualified by training and experience in the field of investment or
finance, and two members who are treasurers, finance or fiscal officers, or
business managers employed by any county, city or local district, or municipal
corporation of this state, are appointed by the State Treasurer. The term of each
appointment is two years, or at the pleasure of the appointing authority.
92
119
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
g. Intergovernmental Receivables
Intergovernmental receivables represent grant reimbursement requests, capital
project billings, and pending transfers of taxes and fees collected by other
government agencies. As of June 30, 2022, the balance of these accounts totaled
$13,555,871.
h. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in, first-
out method. The City follows the consumption method for inventory control. The
costs of governmental fund and internal service fund inventories are recorded as
expenditures when consumed.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods
and are recorded as prepaid items. The City follows the consumption method for
prepaid items.
i. Capital Assets
Capital assets are tangible and intangible assets, which include land, structures,
equipment, and infrastructure assets, are reported in the applicable governmental
or business-type activities columns in the Government-wide Financial Statements.
Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost where historical records are available
and at an estimated original cost where no historical records exist. Equipment
purchased in excess of $5,000 is capitalized if it has an expected useful life in
excess of one year. Buildings, infrastructure, and improvements are capitalized if
cost is in excess of $30,000 and the expected useful life is in excess of one year.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the
asset’s life are not capitalized. The City chose to value and report on infrastructure
assets in their entirety (e.g. prior to 1980).
Major capital outlays for tangible capital assets and improvements are capitalized
as projects are constructed. Tangible capital assets acquired through lease
obligations are valued at the present value of future lease payments at the date
acquired. Contributed tangible capital assets are valued at their estimated
acquisition value at the date of contribution. Intangible capitals assets are generally
an estimated present value of certain future lease payments for the leases in which
the City is the lessee.
Capital assets used in operations are depreciated/amortized using the straight-line
method in the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial
statements of the proprietary funds. Tangible capital assets are depreciated over
their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of the
estimated useful life of the underlying asset or the period of time included in the
estimated present value. Depreciation/amortization is charged as an expense
93
120
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
against operations and accumulated depreciation/amortization is reported on the
respective balance sheet. The ranges of useful life for depreciation purposes for
each capital asset class are as follows:
Structures 15-75 years
Equipment 3-15 years
Infrastructure 20-75 years
j. Claims and Judgments
The City accounts for material claims and judgments and associated legal and
administrative costs when it is probable that the liability claim has been incurred
and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The City records the
estimated loss liabilities in the Internal Service Fund. Included therein are claims
incurred but not reported, which consists of (a) known loss events expected to be
presented as claims later, (b) unknown loss events that are expected to become
claims, and (c) expected future development on claims already reported. This is
based upon historical actual results that have established a reliable pattern
supplemented by specific information about current matters. Small dollar claims
and judgments are recorded as expenditures when paid.
k. Property Taxes
The assessment, levy, and collection of property taxes are the responsibility of the
County of Orange. The City records property taxes as revenue when received from
the County, except at year-end, when property taxes received within 60 days are
accrued as revenue. Property taxes are assessed and collected each fiscal year
according to the following property tax calendar:
Lien date Jan 1
Levy date July 1
Due dates November 1 1st installment
March 1 2nd installment
Collection dates December 10 1st installment
April 10 2nd installment
l. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused
vacation and limited amounts of earned but unused sick leave benefits, which will
be paid to employees upon separation from City service. Beginning in fiscal year
1990, the City adopted a general leave plan to replace the traditional vacation and
sick leave plan. The City uses a general leave plan that permits a maximum of
three years’ accrual for every employee, above which the excess either stops
94
121
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
accruing or is paid out as current compensation. All employees hired prior to
January 1,1990, were given the option of remaining in the traditional vacation and
sick leave plan or enrolling in the general leave plan. All employees hired on or
after January 1,1990, are automatically enrolled in the general leave plan.
Compensated absences are accrued in the Compensated Absence Internal
Service Fund when employee services have been rendered and when it becomes
probable that the City will compensate the employees for benefits through paid
time off or cash payments at termination or retirement. Benefits that have been
earned but are not yet available for use because employees have not met certain
conditions are accrued to the extent it is probable that the employees will meet the
conditions for compensation in the future.
m. Deposits Payable
In the government-wide and fund-level financial statements, deposits payable
represents monies collected for developer deposits, demolition deposits, planning
deposits and others, for services which have not yet been performed. These
unspent portions are reported as liabilities on the financial statements.
n. Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenues are those where asset recognition has been met, but the
revenue recognition criteria have not been met.
o. Deferred Inflows/Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position and the governmental funds
balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of
resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of
resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods
and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until that time.
The City has three items that qualify for reporting in this category. The first item is
the deferred outflows related to employer pension and OPEB contributions made
after the measurement date. The second item is a deferred outflow related to
pensions and OPEB resulting from changes in assumptions. This amount is
amortized over a closed period equal to the average of expected remaining service
lives of all employees that are provided pensions and OPEB through the plans.
The third item is a deferred outflow related to pensions and OPEB resulting from
the difference between expected and actual experience. This amount is amortized
over a closed period equal to the average of expected remaining service lives of
all employees that are provided pensions and OPEB through the plans.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and the governmental funds
balance sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of
resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of
resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods
95
122
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The
City has six items that qualify for reporting in this category. The first item is
unavailable revenues, which is only reported in the governmental funds balance
sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from two sources:
grants receivable and rent collections. These amounts are deferred and
recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become
available. The second item is a deferred inflow related to pensions resulting from
the difference between actual and expected experience. This amount is amortized
over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives
of all employees that are provided pensions through the plans. The third item is a
deferred inflow related to pensions resulting from the change in assumptions. This
amount is amortized over a closed period equal to the average of expected
remaining service lives of all employees that are provided pensions through the
plans. The fourth item is a deferred inflow resulting from the net difference in
projected and actual earnings on investments of the OPEB plan fiduciary net
position. This amount is amortized over five years. The fifth item is the net
difference in projected and actual earnings on investments of the pension plan’s
fiduciary net position. This amount is amortized over five years. The sixth item is
a deferred inflow for certain leases for which the City is lessor, and relates to a
present value estimate of certain future lease payments. This amount generally is
amortized over the same time period associated with the related present value
estimate.
p. Fund Balance Classifications
The governmental fund balance is made up of different classifications and the
following provides explanations as to the nature and purpose of each classification:
Nonspendable fund balance
That portion of fund balance that typically includes amounts that are either (a) not
in a spendable form such as inventories and prepaid items, or (b) legally or
contractually required to be maintained intact such as endowments.
Restricted fund balance
The portion of fund balance that reflects constraints placed on the use of resources
(other than nonspendable items) that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors,
grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed
by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance
That portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that can only be used for
specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action by the
government’s highest level of decision making authority, and remain binding
unless removed in the same manner. The City Council has authority to establish
or modify a fund balance commitment by legislation (Council action) and can only
rescind a fund balance commitment by new legislation requiring the same voting
96
123
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
consensus. The City considers a resolution to constitute a formal action of the City
Council for the purposes of establishing committed fund balance.
Assigned fund balance
That portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that are constrained by the
City’s intent to be used for specific purposes and do not meet the criteria to be
classified as restricted or committed. Constraints imposed on the use of assigned
amounts are more easily removed or modified than those imposed on amounts
classified as committed. The City’s Reserve Policy gives the City Manager the
authority to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance assignment.
Unassigned fund balance
The residual portion of a fund balance that is not otherwise restricted, committed,
or assigned. Positive unassigned fund balance is available to be used for any
purpose. Only the general fund may report a positive unassigned fund balance.
Funds, except the general fund, may report negative unassigned fund balance in
certain circumstances.
In the governmental fund statements, when expenditures are incurred for purposes
for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned)
fund balances are available, the City uses the most restrictive funds first. The City
uses the appropriate funds in the following order: restricted, committed, assigned,
and finally unassigned amounts.
q. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of certain assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the related amounts
of revenues and expenditures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management believes that the estimates are reasonable.
r. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows
of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the

t. Lease Liabilities and Receivables
Lease liabilities and receivables are estimated present values of future lease
payments. Estimating present values involves various related estimates, including
lease terms and interest rates. The estimated lease term is the time period that
the lease is noncancelable, plus extension and termination time periods if based
on the lease agreement it is reasonable that the extensions will be exercised and
the terminations will not be exercised. When a lease’s implicit interest rate is not
known, estimates are made of either the City’s incremental borrowing rate or the
rate the City may charge a lessee. Non-lease components of lease agreements
have been treated as separate non-lease agreements when practicable, and are
excluded from the City’s estimated lease liabilities and receivables. Leases that
do not meet the Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s definition of a lease
liability or receivable (e.g. short-term leases, etc.) also are excluded from the City’s
estimated lease liabilities and receivables.

(2) Reconciliation of Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
a. Explanation of Differences Between Governmental Funds Balance Sheet
and the Statement of Net Position
The “total fund balances” of the City’s governmental funds $247,967,182 differs
from “net position” of governmental activities $2,293,690,994 reported in the
statement of net position. This difference primarily results from the long-term
economic focus of the statement of net position versus the current financial
resources focus of the governmental funds balance sheet.
Capital Related Items
When capital assets (property, plant, and equipment) that are to be used in
governmental activities are purchased, constructed or leased, the costs of those
assets or leases are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However,
the statement of net position includes those capital assets among the assets of the
City as a whole.
Cost of capital assets $2,575,136,666
Accumulated depreciation/amortization (253,570,332)
Total capital assets, net* $2,321,566,334
*Amount excludes net capital assets of $17,788,612 from
Internal Service funds
Long-term Debt Transactions
Long-term liabilities applicable to the City’s governmental activities are not due and
payable in the current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities.
All liabilities (both current and long-term) are reported in the statement of net
position. Balances at June 30, 2022 were:
Certificates of participation – Series 2010B $94,465,000
Certificates of participation – Series 2020A 7,085,000
Bond premium – Series 2020A 1,148,895

Accrued Interest
Accrued liabilities in the statement of net position differ from the amount reported
in governmental funds due to accrued interest on outstanding debt payable (see
Note 6).
Accrued interest added $3,468,116
Investment in Joint Venture
Investment in joint venture is not a current financial resource and hence reported
only in the statement of net position.
Net equity in joint venture $241,967
Unavailable Revenue
Some of the revenue will be collected after year-end, but is not available soon
enough to pay for the current period’s expenditures, and therefore is reported as
unavailable revenue in the governmental funds.
Unavailable revenue $1,188,453
Internal Service Funds
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities (such as equipment management and self-insurance authorities) to
individual funds. The assets (including capital assets) and liabilities of the internal
service funds are included in governmental activities in the statement of net
position because they primarily serve governmental activities of the City.
Internal Service Funds $45,616,057
Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Net Pension
Liability – GASB 68
Pension related debt applicable to the governmental activities are not due and
payable in the current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities.
Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to
pension are only reported in the Statement of Net Position as the changes in these
amounts effects only the government-wide statements for governmental activities.
Internal service funds amounts are excluded.

c. Explanation of Differences Between Governmental Fund Operating
Statements and the Statement of Activities
The “net change in fund balances” for governmental funds $25,664,972 differs
from the “change in net position” for governmental activities $71,230,927 reported
in the statement of activities. The differences arise primarily from the long-term
economic focus of the statement of activities versus the current financial resources
focus of the governmental funds. The effect of the difference is illustrated below.
Capital Related Items
When capital assets that are to be used in governmental activities (excluding those
reported in Internal Service Funds) are purchased or constructed, the resources
expended for those assets are reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over
their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. In governmental
funds, significant maintenance projects are reclassified as functional expenses in
the statement of net assets. Also, contributed capital is not recorded in
governmental funds; therefore, it is added to the statement of net activities.

Long-Term Debt Transactions
Payment of debt service is reported as an expenditure in governmental funds and
has the effect of reducing fund balance because current financial resources have
been used. Issuance of debt is reported as an other financing source in
governmental funds and increases fund balance. For the City as a whole, however,
the principal payments reduce the liabilities, and proceeds from long-term debt
increase liabilities in the statement of net position.
Certificates of participation – Series 2010B $3,165,000

Accrued Interest
Interest accrued on outstanding debt payable is not recorded as an expenditure in
governmental funds and has been added to the statement of activities.
Net change in accrued interest $122,176
Investment in Joint Venture
The City’s investment in a joint venture creates an explicit, measurable equity
interest reported only in the statement of activities.
Net change in investment in joint venture ($14,895)
Unavailable Revenue
Some of the revenue will be collected after year-end, but is not available soon
enough to pay for current-period expenditures. This amount is reported as
unavailable revenue in the governmental funds.

Pension Expense
Pension expense reported in the governmental funds includes the annual required
contribution. In the statement of activities, pension expense includes the change
in the net pension liability and related change in the pension amounts for deferred
outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources.
Pension expense $37,868,065
Post-Employment Health Care Benefits Expense
Post-employment health care benefits (OPEB) expense reported in the
governmental funds includes the annual required contribution. In the statement of
activities, OPEB expense includes the change in the net OPEB liability and related
change in the OPEB amounts for deferred outflows of resources and deferred
inflows of resources.
OPEB expense $2,890,389
Internal Service Funds
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, such as equipment management and self-insurance activities, to
individual funds. The adjustments for internal service funds “close” those funds by
reimbursing or charging additional amounts to participating departments in
individual funds for costs over or under charged for those activities.
Net change in internal service funds $1,042,536
Reclassification and Eliminations
Interfund balances must generally be eliminated in the government-wide financial
statements, except for net residual amounts due between governmental and
business-type activities. Any allocations must reduce the expenses of the function
from which the expenses are being allocated, so that expenses are reported only
once – in the function in which they are allocated. Amounts involving fiduciary
funds should be reported as external transactions. Reclassifications and
eliminations are used by management to consolidate internal service funds into
the statement of activities.

(3) Budgetary Control and Compliance
The City adheres to the following general procedures in establishing the budgetary data
reflected in the financial statements:
During May, 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. Public hearings
are conducted at City Council meetings to obtain citizen comments. Prior to July
1, the budget is legally adopted through passage of an appropriation resolution.
Budgets are adopted on an annual basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles for General and Special Revenue Funds.
The City of Newport Beach does not present budget information on Capital
Projects Funds since the City approves project-length budgets. These project-
length budgets authorize total expenditures over the duration of a construction
project rather than through year-by-year budgeting.
The City of Newport Beach does not present budget information on Debt Service
and Permanent Funds since the City is not required to and does not adopt an
annual budget for these funds.
The budget is formally integrated into the accounting system and employed as a
management control device during the year.
The legal level of budgetary control is at the fund level. The City Manager is
authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund;
however, any revisions which alter the total appropriations of any fund must be
approved by the City Council.
At fiscal year-end, budget appropriations lapse. Budget appropriations for
incomplete capital projects are re-budgeted in the following fiscal year by City
Council action and are included in the revisions noted above. Projects that are not
started during the budget year are re-evaluated in the following year.
Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for
goods and services. The City utilizes an encumbrance system as a management
control technique to assist in controlling expenditures. Under this system,
encumbrance accounting for the expenditure of funds is recorded in order to
indicate outstanding commitments and is employed in the governmental fund
types. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as committed or
restricted fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
Encumbrances and their related budgets are honored in the subsequent year to
fulfill these commitments and are presented in the original adopted budget.

Expenditures exceeded appropriations in the following governmental funds:
The following funds reported deficit fund balances:
The Community Development Block Grant is a reimbursement grant and the City will
receive reimbursement in the following fiscal year which will eliminate the deficit fund
balance.
For the Compensated Absences Fund, the City’s Reserve Policy sets the maximum cash
reserve at 50% of the long-term compensated absences liability and targets a lesser
amount that is the median between that amount and a three-year average of the actual
payments made for the cash-out of accumulated leave balances. Accordingly, this deficit
fund balance is intentional and in compliance with the City Council-approved Reserve
Policy.

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
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. One of the ways that
the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of
shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that
a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity over time as necessary to
provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including
investments held by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the
following table that shows the distribution of the City’s investments by maturity:

Some of the City’s investments may have call features where the investments’ principal
may be paid down before its maturity. Such investments include asset backed securities,
FHLMC’s (a.k.a. Freddie K’s), investments with make whole call provisions, and
investments with call dates.
The City’s asset backed securities pay monthly coupons, at which time principal may be
paid down. As of June 30, 2022, the City held asset backed securities of $25,817,455.
The City’s FHLMC’s (a.k.a. Freddie K’s) may pay down principal prior to maturity. As of
June 30, 2022, the City held FHLMC’s of $9,247,227.
Investments with make whole call provisions generally may be called any time, but the
terms of the call price generally mitigate the financial impact of a call. As of June 30, 2022,

interest.
Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations
As of June 30, 2022, the City did not have any investments (including investments held
by fiscal agent) whose fair values were highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation
to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a
116

Notes to Basic Financial Statements

nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented in the following schedule is
the minimum rating (where applicable) required by the California Government Code, the
City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating by Standard & Poor’s
as of the June 30, 2022 for each investment type.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City and the California Government Code limit the amount
that can be invested in any one issuer as previously discussed. Investments in any one
issuer (excluding U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. Treasuries, mutual funds, and pooled
investments) that represent 5% or more of total City’s investments are as follows:
Issuer Investment Type Reported Amount
FFCB U.S. agency securities $26,338,213
FHLMC U.S. agency securities $15,943,501
FHLMC FHLMC $9,247,227
FHLB U.S. agency securities $19,326,065
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able
to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial
credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty
(e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value
of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The
California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy
requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or
investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government
Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local
governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a
depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair
value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total

amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions
to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150%
of the secured public deposits. As of June 30, 2022, none of the City’s deposits with
financial institutions in excess of federal depository amounts were held in uncollateralized
accounts.
For investments identified herein as restricted cash with fiscal agent, the fiscal agent
selects the investment under the terms of the applicable trust agreement, acquires the
investment, and holds the investment on behalf of the reporting government.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is
regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the
State of California. The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the
accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of
the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized
cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting
records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis. LAIF is not
rated.
Limitations and restrictions apply to the City’s investment in LAIF. Up to 15 transactions
with LAIF are permitted each month. Balances in LAIF may not exceed $75 million, with
the exception of bond accounts. LAIF requests one day prior notice for withdrawals of
$10 million or more.
Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established
by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation
inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets. Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs.
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
Most of the City’s investments are in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Examples of Level
2 valuation inputs include:
a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active
c) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data
by correlation or other means.

Series 2010B Certificates were issued to provide additional financing for the Civic
Center Project. The proceeds of the Certificates also were applied to pay certain costs
of issuance incurred in connection with the Certificates.
The lease payments made by the City are held by a trustee who makes semi-annual
payments on the Certificates of Participation. The lease payments began January 1,
2011, and are in amounts sufficient to cover the payment of principal and interest of
the Certificates. Interest on the Certificates is payable semiannually on January 1 and
July 1 of each year. The 2010A Certificates have been defeased and are no longer
outstanding. The 2010B Certificates interest rates range from 4.45% to 7.17%. The
City has designated the Series 2010B Certificates as “Build America Bonds” (BABs)
under the provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Thus,
the City receives refundable credits from the United States Treasury on the interest
paid on the 2010B Certificates. As of June 30, 2022, the City has received
$27,321,950 of BABs Subsidy from the United States Treasury and expects to receive
subsidy equal to about 33% on future interest payable on the 2010B Certificates.
Principal payments are payable annually on July 1 of each year. The remaining
principal payments for the Series 2010B Certificates, which are payable through July
1, 2040, range from $3,275,000 to $7,245,000. The total outstanding balance at June
30, 2022 amounted to $94,465,000. The use of the following assets has been pledged
as security for the outstanding balance: the Central Library and the Civic Center.

June 30, 2022, is dependent on future developments based upon information from the
City’s attorney, the City's claims administrators, and others involved with the
administration of the programs, City management believes the accrual is adequate to
cover such losses. The estimated liability at June 30, 2022, for general liability
amounted to $8,695,880 and for workers’ compensation was $15,754,588.
Compensated Absences
The City's policies relating to compensated absences are described in Note (1). This

Special Assessment Districts Bonds
The City has issued certain Assessment District and Community Facilities District Bonds.
Although the City collects and disburses funds for these districts, the City has no obligation
or duty to pay any delinquency out of any available funds of the City. Neither the faith and
credit nor the taxing power of the City is pledged to the payment of the bonds, and
therefore the bonded indebtedness is not shown in the financial statements of the City.
The City holds reserve funds on behalf of bondholders, and the assets are recorded in the

The City carries commercial insurance with independent third parties for loss risks
associated with real and personal property, and automotive liability. The City purchases
fidelity bonds for employees in key positions. Settled claims from these risks have not
exceeded commercial insurance coverage for the past three years.
The City utilizes Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM), formerly
called California State Association of Counties – Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC-EIA),
a joint powers authority, to provide excess insurance for the general liability and workers’
compensation programs. PRISM provides coverage under the terms of a joint-powers
agreement with the City as follows:
Type of Coverage Self-Insured Retention (SIR) Coverage Limits
General Liability
$500,000
$25,000,000
Workers’ Compensation $500,000 Statutory
PRISM was established for the purpose of creating a risk management pool for all
California public entities. PRISM is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of
representatives of its member public entities.
The Insurance Reserve fund was established to account for costs associated with general
liability and workers’ compensation. The Insurance Reserve fund is accounted for as an
internal service fund where assets are set aside for risk management, administration,
claim settlements and benefit distribution. A premium is charged to each fund that
accounts for part-time or full-time employees. The total charge allocated to each of the
funds is calculated using trends in actual experience after considering unexpected and
unusual claims.
Fund liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount
of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have
been incurred but not reported (IBNR). Claims liabilities are calculated considering the
effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends including frequency and amounts of
payouts and other economic and social factors. The total liability claims payable was
$24,450,468 at June 30, 2022, which represents the discounted present value of all
outstanding claims. The claims are discounted using an interest rate of 3%.

(9) Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits
them to set aside a portion of their salary and defer taxation on the contributions and any
investment earnings until future years.
Section 457 plan assets were placed in trust for the exclusive benefit of all employees and
their beneficiaries. Therefore, all employee assets held in Section 457 plans are not the
property of the City and are not subject to the claims of the City’s general creditors. The
assets under the plan, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements,
totaled $129,345,376 at June 30, 2022.
(10) Pension Plans
a. General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Descriptions – All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to
participate in the City of Newport Beach’s separate Safety (police and fire) and
Miscellaneous (all other) Employee Pension Plans, agent multiple-employer defined
benefit pension plans administered by the California Public Employees’ Retirement
System (CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its
participating member employers. Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by
State statute and Local Government resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports
that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions,
assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Benefits Provided – CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual
cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public
employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to
one year of full-time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to
retire at age 50 to 62 with statutorily reduced benefits. PEPRA miscellaneous members
become eligible for service retirement upon attainment of age 52 with at least 5 years of
service. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 5 years of service.
The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1959 Survivor
Benefit, the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit, or the 1957 Survivor Benefit. Safety
members can receive a special death benefit if the member dies while actively employed
and the death is job-related. Fire members may receive the alternate death benefit in lieu
of the Basic Death Benefit or the 1957 Survivor Benefit if the member dies while actively
employed and has at least 20 years of total CalPERS service. The cost of living
adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement
Law.

of employees. City contribution rates may change if plan contracts are amended.
Payments made by the employer to satisfy contribution requirements that are identified by
the pension plan terms as plan member contributions requirements are classified as plan
member contributions.
b. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less
the pension plan’s fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is
measured as of June 30, 2021, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020
rolled forward to June 30, 2021 using standard update procedures. The General Fund,
Tidelands Funds, Water Fund, and Wastewater Fund have typically been used in prior
years to liquidate the net pension liability. A summary of principal assumptions and
methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions – The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2020 actuarial
valuations were determined using the following actuarial assumptions:

All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2020 valuation were based on the
results of an actuarial experience study for the period from 1997 to 2015, including
updates to salary increase, mortality and retirement rates. The Experience Study report
can be obtained at the CalPERS website under Forms and Publications.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15%.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that
contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contribution rates
and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially
determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected
to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all
periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Long-term Expected Rate of Return – The long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future
real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and
inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both
short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund
cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound
(geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term
(11+ years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both
short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The
expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected
return that arrived at the same present value for cash flows as the one calculated using
both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to
the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account for assumed
administrative expenses.
The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Assumed
asset Real return Real Return
Asset class (1)allocation Years 1-10
(2)Years 11+(3)
Global equity 50.00% 4.80% 5.98%
Fixed income 28.00% 1.00% 2.62%
Inflation assets - 0.77% 1.81%
Private equity 8.00% 6.30% 7.23%
Real assets 13.00% 3.75% 4.93%
Liquidity 1.00% - -0.92%
(2) An expected inflation of 2.0% used for this period.
(3) An expected inflation of 2.92% used for this period.
(1) In the CalPERS' ACFR, Fixed Income is included in Global Debt Securities; Liquidity
is included in Short-term Investments; Inflation Assets are included in both Global Equity
Securities and Global Debt Securities.

Subsequent Events
On July 12, 2021, CalPERS reported a preliminary 21.3% net return on investments for
fiscal year 2020-21. Based on the thresholds specified in CalPERS Funding Risk
Mitigation policy, the excess return of 14.3% prescribes a reduction in investment volatility
that corresponds to a reduction in the discount rate used for funding purposes of 0.20%,
from 7.00% to 6.80%. Since CalPERS was in the final stages of the four-year Asset
Liability Management (ALM) cycle, the board elected to defer any changes to the asset
allocation until the ALM process concluded, and the board could make its final decision
on the asset allocation in November 2021. The 21.3% investment return is reflected in the
net pension liability calculation as of the June 30, 2021 measurement date, resulting in a
significant decrease in the City’s pension liability as of June 30, 2022. In addition,
CalPERS reported a negative 7.5% net return on investments for fiscal year 2021-22,
which will be reflected in the GASB 68 accounting valuation reports for the June 30, 2022
measurement date, so it is not reflected in the net pension liability calculation as of June
30, 2022.
On November 17, 2021, the board adopted a new strategic asset allocation. The new
asset allocation along with the new capital market assumptions, economic assumptions
and administrative expense assumption support a discount rate of 6.90% (net of
investment expense but without a reduction for administrative expense) for financial
reporting purposes. This includes a reduction in the price inflation assumption from 2.50%
to 2.30% as recommended in the November 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and
Review of Actuarial Assumptions. This study also recommended modifications to
retirement rates, termination rates, mortality rates and rates of salary increases that were
adopted by the board. These new assumptions will be reflected in the GASB 68
accounting valuation reports for the June 30, 2022, measurement date.

At June 30, 2022, the City had no outstanding amount of contributions to the pension plan
required for the year ended June 30, 2022.
f. Plan Description - Defined Contribution Plan
Pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 91-106, the City entered into a defined
contribution plan administrated by the private administrator known as Public Agency
Retirement System ("PARS") for all of its part-time employees, pursuant to the
requirements of Section 11332 of the Social Security Act. The City Council has the
authority for establishing and amending the plan’s provisions per the Resolution, including
establishing and amending contribution requirements. In a defined contribution plan,
benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. All
part-time employees are eligible to participate from the date of employment. Federal
legislation requires contributions of at least 7.5% to a retirement plan, and City Council
resolved to match the employees' contributions of 3.75%. The City's contributions for each
employee (and interest earned by the accounts) are fully vested immediately.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the City's covered payroll for employees participating
in the plan was $3,567,206. Employees made contributions of $133,940 (3.75% of current
covered payroll), which was matched by the employer in the same amount. Assets of the
plan totaled $2,316,963 at June 30, 2022.

Plan Description
In January 2006, the City and employee associations agreed to major changes in the Post-
Employment Health Care Plan. All employees hired after January 1, 2006, and certain
employees hired prior to this date, as well as employees who elected to fully convert to a
defined contribution formula (hereafter fully converted employees), participate in a
program that requires mandatory employee and employer contributions. However, once
these contributions have been made to the employee’s account, the City has no further
funding obligation to the Plan on their behalf, except for the Public Employees’ Medical
and Hospital Care Act (“PEMHCA”) minimum, which is the responsibility of the City. These
employees and eligible retirees participate in a Retiree Health Savings (“RHS”) Plan
sponsored by the City, the single employer of the plan. Plan assets are held in trust and
managed by MissionSquare Retirement (Trustee), under IRS Revenue Ruling 2002-41
(June 26, 2002) and IRS Notice 2002-45 (June 26, 2002).
Certain employees hired prior to January 1, 2006, had the option to retain a hybrid of the
former defined benefit plan, or to fully convert to the new Plan. Employees electing to
retain a hybrid of the former defined benefit formula participate in a program requiring
mandatory defined contributions by employees and the City, as well as a defined benefit
consisting of an ongoing contribution from the City to the participant’s RHS account each
month after retirement. Additionally, these employees are eligible to receive health care
benefits under the City’s group health care plans. In order to receive these benefits, these
employees are required to pay the City $100 per month up until their retirement to offset
the unfunded portion of post-employment health care benefits existing at the inception of
the plan.
For fully converted employees, the City made a one-time contribution into their individual
RHS account of $100 per month for every month the employee contributed to the previous
defined benefit plan up to a maximum of 15 years. For employees who elected to retain a
hybrid plan, the City made a one-time contribution into their individual RHS account of $75
per month for every month the employee contributed to the previous defined plan up to a
maximum of 15 years. In order to receive these contributions, the employee must retire
from the City. At June 30, 2022, the liability for the conversion part of the RHS Plan was
$1,138,350. This amount is not included in the Net OPEB Liability, but is included in the
compensated absences liability. See Note (6).
Employees who retired prior to January 1, 2006, continue to receive an ongoing defined
benefit consisting of a contribution made by the City to the participant’s RHS account each
month. The defined benefit portion of the plan is closed to new participants.
The City has elected to participate in the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust
(“CERBT”) Fund to prefund its OPEB liability. CERBT is managed by CalPERS and
invests in global equity, global debt securities, inflation assets, commodities, and REITs.
By placing funds in trust to fund future City contributions before those future contributions
are due, the City earns investment income that will help pay those future contributions and
thereby reduce the City’s long-term OPEB budgetary requirements.

Employees Covered
As of the measurement date June 30, 2021, the following current and former employees
were covered by the benefit terms under the plan:
Contributions
Contribution requirements are established by City policy and may be amended by the City
Council. The annual contribution is based on the actuarially determined contribution. For
the year ended June 30, 2022, the City’s cash contributions were $4,499,498 to the trust
in premium payments and $987,469 for the estimated implicit subsidy, resulting in a total
payment of $5,486,967.
Net OPEB Liability
The City’s net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2021, and the total OPEB
liability used to calculate the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation
dated June 30, 2021. The General Fund, Tidelands Funds, Water Fund, and Wastewater
Fund have typically been used in prior years to liquidate the net OPEB liability. A summary
of the principal assumptions and methods used to determine the total OPEB liability is
shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions
The total OPEB liability as of June 30, 2021 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions and applied to all periods included in the measurement,
unless otherwise specified:

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2021, valuation were based on a standard
set of assumptions the actuary has used for similar valuations, modified as appropriate for
the City.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investment is assumed to be 6.50%.
This was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of
return (expected returns, net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are
developed for each major asset class. These expected future real rates of return are then
combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting them based on
the target asset allocation percentage and adding in expected inflation (2.75%).The asset
class percentages are taken from the current composition of the CERBT Fund, and the
expected yields by asset class were not available to the actuary:
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 6.50% per annum. This is
the expected long-term rate of return on City assets using investment strategy 1 within
CERBT. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that
the City contribution will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution
rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position is projected
to cover all future OPEB payments. Therefore, the discount rate was set equal to the long-
term expected rate of return.

(14) Joint Venture Agreements
Bonita Canyon Public Facilities Financing Authority
The Bonita Canyon Public Facilities Financing Authority (Authority) is a joint powers
authority comprised of the City of Newport Beach and the Newport-Mesa Unified School
District. The Authority’s Board is comprised of two members appointed by each of the
member agencies. The Authority created Community Facilities District 98-1 to finance
public facilities that will benefit the properties within the District’s boundaries. In 1998, the
Authority issued $45,000,000 of special tax bonds to be repaid by special assessments.
$30,577,712 (81.7%) of the proceeds were used to pay for the costs of the City acquiring
and constructing public facilities including parks and road improvements. In Fiscal Year
2011-12, the Authority issued $38,330,000 of special tax refunding bonds to refinance the
1998 Series. In Fiscal Year 2017-18, the Authority issued $28,245,000 of special tax
refunding bonds to refinance the 2012 series; the City is not obligated in any manner to
repay the bonds. As of June 30, 2022, the contributions from property owners have been
fully spent and no funds are held in trust by the fiscal agent. The City does not make any
annual contributions to the Authority and does not include the Authority as a component
unit, as the City is not financially accountable for the Authority’s activities and the Authority
is not fiscally dependent on the City. The City’s equity interest in the Authority is not readily
determinable. Complete separate financial statements can be obtained at the Newport
Mesa Unified School District, 2985 Bear Street, Suite 8M, Costa Mesa, California.

one alternate appointed by the governing body of each member agency. The City of
Newport Beach’s costs are based each fiscal year upon the number of recorded incidents
attributable to the City divided by the recorded incidents attributable to all members during
the year, and are recorded in the General Fund as an expenditure for service. Upon
termination of the agreement, the proceeds from the sale of the property and assets of the
joint venture will be paid to each member agency pursuant to their fair share percentage.
Annually, the amounts paid by the City to this joint venture are approximately $739,713.

The figures above generally include any liability impact that may have resulted from voluntary benefit changes that occurred on or before the
Measurement Date. However, offers of Two Years Additional Service Credit (a.k.a. Golden Handshakes) that occurred after the Valuation
Date are not included in the figures above, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material by the plan actuary.
None in 2019 through 2021. In 2018, demographic assumptions and inflation rate were changed in accordance to the CalPERS Experience
Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions December 2017. There were no changes in the discount rate. In 2017, the discount rate was
reduced from 7.65 percent to 7.15 percent. In 2016, there were no changes. In 2015, amounts reported reflect an adjustment of the discount
rate from 7.5 percent (net of administrative expense) to 7.65 percent (without a reduction for pension plan administrative expense). In 2014,
amounts reported were based on the 7.5 percent discount rate.

OTHER GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Other Special Revenue Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources
which are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The City of Newport
Beach Special Revenue Funds are as follows:
The State Gas Tax Fund accounts for all State Gas Tax related revenues and expenditures,
including street repair, construction, and maintenance. State law requires that these funds be
used exclusively for maintenance of the street and highway system.
The SB1 Gas Tax RMRA Fund accounts for all Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account
related revenues and expenditures. State law requires that these funds be used exclusively for
the transportation system. RMRA revenues are from fuel and vehicle registration taxes imposed
by the state’s Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
The Asset Forfeiture Fund was established to account for all revenues resulting from the
seizure of assets in conjunction with criminal cases (primarily drug trafficking) in which judicial
proceedings have been completed. All such funds are property of the City, and it is the City's
policy that these funds shall be used for enhancement of law enforcement programs.
The Office of the Traffic Safety (OTS) DUI Grant Fund is used to account for federal funding of
the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). These funds are used exclusively for DUI
enforcement.

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

Direct and Overlapping Property Tax Rates
(Rate per $100 of assessed value)
Last Ten Fiscal Years
In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which sets the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies
for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed
property values for the payment of other debt obligations.

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

ATTACHMENT B
AUDITOR’S REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
278
1
REQUIRED AUDIT COMMUNICATIONS
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Newport Beach
Newport Beach, California
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Newport Beach (City) as of and for
the year ended June 30, 2022, and have issued our report thereon dated February 6, 2023.
Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters during our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter dated October 20, 2022, our responsibility, as
described by professional standards, is to form and express an opinion(s) about whether the
financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are
presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not
relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit
to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of
our audit, we considered the internal control of the City solely for the purpose of determining
our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are,
in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial
reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of
identifying other matters to communicate to you.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously
communicated to you.
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, our firm, and our network firms
have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
We identified self-review threats to independence as a result of non-attest services provided.
Those non-attest services included recording journal entries detected during the audit
process, assisting in updating infrastructure records and assisting in preparation of the State
279
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Newport Beach
Newport Beach, California
2
Controller’s Report. To mitigate the risk, management has reviewed proposed journal entries
to supporting documentation and posted the journal entries to the accounting records.
Additionally, management has reviewed the updates to infrastructure records and compared
amounts to underlying supporting documentation. Furthermore, management has reviewed
the State Controller’s Report and agreed the amounts to its accounting records.
Significant Risks Identified
We have identified the following significant risks:
•Implementation of the new lease accounting standard. We reviewed the City’s
inventory of leases and selected a sample of lease agreements to test the calculations
of the lease transactions. We ensured the City’s lease disclosure footnotes were
accurate and complete in accordance with the new standard.
•Capital asset additions related to construction in progress. We reviewed the City’s
detailed additions to construction in progress and selected a sample of additions for
propriety and proper classification.
•Compliance with Federal Grant Requirements. We reviewed the City’s schedule of
federal expenses and selected major programs to test for compliance with federal
grant requirements. This work is ongoing as the Single Audit Report will be issued at
a later date.
Qualitative Aspects of the City’s Significant Accounting Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A
summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the City is included in Note 1 to
the financial statements. As described in Notes 1 and 18 to the financial statements, the City
changed accounting policies related to leases by adopting Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases. No matters have come to our attention
that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods
used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting
policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance
or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on
knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future
events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to
the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may
differ markedly from management’s current judgments. The most sensitive accounting
estimates affecting the financial statements are:
•Management’s estimate involving the calculation of the pension liability.
•Management’s estimate involving the calculation of the other post-employment benefit
(OPEB) liability.
280
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Newport Beach
Newport Beach, California

•Management’s estimates of the claims payable liabilities related to general liability and
workers’ compensation claims.
Management’s estimate of the pension liability, OPEB liability and claims payable liabilities
are based on actuarial valuation reports. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions
used to develop the pension liability, OPEB liability and claims payable liabilities and
determined they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole
and in relation to the applicable opinion units.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly
sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive
disclosures affecting the City’s financial statements relate to:
•The disclosures related pensions in Note 10 to the basic financial statements.
•The disclosures related to OPEB liability in Note 11 to the basic financial statements.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Significant Unusual Transactions
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to communicate to you
significant unusual transactions identified during our audit. There were no significant unusual
transactions identified as a result of our audit procedures.
Significant Difficulties Encountered During the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the
performance of the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards also require us to accumulate all
known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe
are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further,
professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected
misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account
balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion
unit. We did not identify any uncorrected financial statement misstatements.
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected
misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit
procedures. We did not identify any misstatements as a result of our audit procedures.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management
as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting,
reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the City’s financial statements or
the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.

Representations Requested from Management
We have requested and received certain written representations from management in a letter
dated February 6, 2023.
Management Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing
and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were
no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Matters Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a
variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards,
significant events or transactions that occurred during the year, operating and regulatory
conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks
of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our
retention as the City’s auditors.
Other Information Included in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information,
whether financial or nonfinancial, included in the City’s annual report, does not extend beyond
the information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any
procedures to corroborate such other information. However, in accordance with such
standards, we have read the information and considered whether such information, or the
manner of its presentation, was materially inconsistent with its presentation in the financial
statements.
Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a
material misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that
such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the
information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of City Council and management of
the City and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these

AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements
Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Newport Beach
Newport Beach, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government
Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Newport Beach (“City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to
the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and
have issued our report thereon dated February 6, 2023.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our
opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be
prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material
weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control
that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during
our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material
weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are
free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have
a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,
providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit,
and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no
instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s
internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other
purpose.

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH FINANCE COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 5B February 16, 2023
TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
FROM: Finance Department Jason Al-Imam, Finance Director/Treasurer 949-644-3123, jalimam@newportbeachca.gov
SUBJECT: FACILITIES FINANCIAL PLAN (FFP) AND HARBOR & BEACHES MASTER PLAN (HBMP)
SUMMARY:
The Facilities Financial Plan (FFP) and Harbor & Beaches Master Plan (HBMP) are long-term planning tools that are used to analyze the means of financing, timing of expected
cash flows and funding requirements associated with the projects that are prioritized based on need and community goals. The FFP and HBMP have been updated to reflect the current estimated cost to fund the construction and or renovation of City facilities and harbor-related capital projects, which are presented to the Finance Committee for feedback and consideration.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review and discuss this report, concur with staff’s recommended funding levels for the FFP and HBMP, and provide any other related recommendations for consideration by the
City Manager and City Council. DISCUSSION: Each year, as part of the budget process, staff prepares updates to the FFP and HBMP
and by way of this report, these updates are subsequently presented to the Finance Committee to consider the adequacy of the funding allocations from the General Fund to the FFP and HBMP. Preceding this report, updates to the HBMP were reviewed by the Harbor Commission at their meeting on January 11, 2023, and preliminary discussions with the City Council regarding the Fiscal Year 2023-24 capital improvement program and
FFP were held at the planning session on January 28, 2023.
286
Facilities Financial Plan (FFP) And Harbor & Beaches Master Plan (HBMP) February 16, 2023 Page 2
The dashboard presentations of the FFP and HBMP reflect a five-year outlook and also include a “future” column on applicable charts that captures the remaining projects beyond the first five years. A complete summary of projects – including the project
estimates and timeframes – are included within the respective project planning
worksheets for each plan. Since there is considerable variability in the cost estimates and timing in which the projects in the outer years of both plans may be completed, the dashboards are primarily focused on the fiscal impact of the nearer-term projects that are projected to occur in the next five-years.
Facilities Financial Plan In addition to the annual capital improvement program ("CIP"), and in accordance with Council Policy F-28 – Facilities Financial Planning Program, the City has established a long-term plan for major renovation or replacement of City facilities that have reached the
end of their useful life, as well as for the addition of new facilities. The emphasis is on
structures and adjacent grounds, rather than transportation, environmental, or other projects funded either in whole or in part by the General Fund via the routine CIP. Under current policy, the annual contribution from the General Fund to the FFP is set at
$8.6 million until such time as 3% of General Fund revenues exceeds this amount. At that
time, the annual contribution will increase and remain indexed to 3% of General Fund revenues. Adequacy of Debt Service Contributions – Funding for the debt service for the Civic
Center and Fire Station No. 2 comes from the FFP Fund. The debt service associated
with the 2010B and 2020 Certificates of Participation (COPs) varies by year, but is currently approximately $8.6 million net of the expected subsidy from the U.S. Treasury on the 2010B COPs. The General Fund contribution is $8.6 million, which continues to remain adequate through the remaining debt financings included in the FFP.
Reliance on Fees Generated by Development Agreements – Staff annually prepares a projection of fees related to development agreements that are expected to be received in future fiscal years, as well as park impact fees from new developments. The estimates are subject to change with these annual updates and based on information known at this
point of time regarding the status of each development project and the timing of which the
funds are anticipated to be collected. These funds are deposited into the FFP Fund when received and are available to fund FFP projects including both new and replaced/renovated facilities. Under current policy with a minimum annual contribution from the General Fund to the FFP Fund of $8.6 million, adequate funding is available for
the projects contemplated in the current FFP. The City’s Reserve Policy (Council Policy
F-2) also sets a minimum reserve target for the FFP Fund equal to the maximum annual debt service amount, which is $8.6 million in this case. The FFP also maintains a reserve balance that equals or exceeds the level required by the Reserve Policy in each year.
The FFP includes updates to the project list and corresponding project costs to reflect
inflation-indexed unit costs. Under the current iteration of the FFP, adequate funds are on
287
Facilities Financial Plan (FFP) And Harbor & Beaches Master Plan (HBMP) February 16, 2023 Page 3
hand for all FFP projects, and the minimum reserve balance remains above the $8.6 minimum level outlined in the City’s Reserve Policy as illustrated in the chart below.
While the current funding strategy appears to be adequate, staff is monitoring the impacts of inflation and rising costs for construction associated with projects currently reflected in the CIP for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
Harbor & Beaches Master Plan
The HBMP is funded from two sources – a portion of Tidelands revenues and an annual transfer from the General Fund. With the implementation of permit and rent increases authorized by the City Council in 2010, staff was directed to deposit incremental rent increases from certain harbor revenue sources to a new Tidelands Capital Fund. The intent
was to set aside the incremental increases from these adjustments to finance critical in-
Harbor capital improvements, like sea wall repair, dredging, and piers. Historically, the Tidelands Operating Fund has not generated sufficient revenue to cover the full cost of operations, in large part because of the public safety costs (lifeguards, emergency medical response, and police services) associated with the ocean beaches and other Tidelands
property. Similarly, the incremental rents dedicated to the Tidelands Capital Fund are not
sufficient to fund the capital improvement projects contemplated in the HBMP. Due to the ongoing gap between Tidelands capital revenues and expenditures, the City’s General Fund has transferred a variable amount to provide sufficient funding for HBMP projects to be completed. In Fiscal Year 2022-23, the General Fund has contributed $4.6 million to the
Tidelands Capital Fund.
Pursuant to the Finance Committee’s recommendation in February 2022, the current funding policy for the HBMP reflects an index of the General Fund contributions at $4.6 million in Fiscal Year 2022-23 increasing annually thereafter by 2.5% through Fiscal Year
2033-34, at which time fund balance was anticipated to be sufficient to reduce the annual
General Fund contribution to a flat $4.5 million. The recommendation to reduce the annual General Fund contribution coincided with the elimination of debt service in 2030 and projected growth in the Tidelands Capital Fund revenues; however, it was anticipated that
288
Facilities Financial Plan (FFP) And Harbor & Beaches Master Plan (HBMP) February 16, 2023 Page 4
the funding plan may change as the content of the HBMP and the availability of grant funds possibly changes over time.
This HBMP includes considerable updates to the project list and corresponding project
costs to reflect inflation-indexed unit costs. This has resulted in approximately $110 million of additional project costs compared to the previous iteration of the HBMP presented on February 9, 2022.
This iteration of the HBMP also includes updates to the anticipated external contributions, primarily to reflect the current estimate of grant receipts for future dredging projects. Adequate funds are projected to be on hand to fund the HBMP projects over the next five-
years and projected fund balances remain healthy and positive in the near future as shown
in the charts below. Staff is continuing to include the annual inflationary adjustment and will make recommendations at such time that staff may model that inadequate funding is available in the HBMP to cover the projects.
289
Facilities Financial Plan (FFP) And Harbor & Beaches Master Plan (HBMP) February 16, 2023 Page 5
Facilities Maintenance Management Plan (FMMP) It should also be noted that the City has a separate funding program known as the FMMP,
which sets aside funds for maintenance efforts related to City facilities. In Fiscal Year 2022-
23, the General Fund contribution increased to $2.5 million and is anticipated to continue being increased thereafter by an annual inflation rate of 2.5% until such time as the Public Works Department determines that a change is appropriate due to a material increase in the number of City facilities being maintained or other factors. At this time, staff is not
recommending any changes to the General Fund contributions toward this program.

FFP Debt Service Contributions
Debt service for debt-financed FFP projects is funded from the FFP Fund
These payments currently amount to just over $8.6 million per year
$7.7 million for the Civic Center Certificates of Participation
$0.9 million for the Fire Station No. 2 Certificates of Participation
In an effort to ensure adequate funds are on hand, the City’s Reserve Policy sets a minimum fund balance goal for the FFP Fund equal to the maximum annual debt service (currently $8.6 million)
Under current policy, the FFP is projected to be adequately funded and to maintain a minimum reserve balance above $8.6 million in each year
City of Newport Beach –Finance Department 4
FFP Reliance on Development Agreement Fees
Under current policy, the FFP is prepared with all development fees and park fees projected to be generated from future known projects included as a revenue source
These revenues are an important source of funds for the FFP
Due to the sizable nature of some of the contributions, timing differences could create challenges in maintaining the fiscal health of the FFP Fund
Examples of Development Agreements included in the FFP model:
Uptown Newport

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH FINANCE COMMITTEE STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 5C February 16, 2023
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
FROM: Finance Department Jason Al-Imam, Finance Director / Treasurer 949-644-3126, jalimam@newportbeachca.gov
SUBJECT: SECOND QUARTER BUDGET UPDATE
SUMMARY:
The Finance Department prepares quarterly financial reports to review the status of revenues and expenditures for the City’s General Fund and to monitor budgetary trends in other City funds. This report contains information on revenues, expenditures, and
estimated fund balance for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2022-23.
The second quarter financial report for Fiscal Year 2022-23 provides an analysis of the financial activity of the City from the months of July through December 2022, and projected amounts for the remainder of the fiscal year. Based on information available at the end of the second quarter, a $12.4 million operating surplus for the General Fund is
projected for Fiscal Year 2022-23, which is net of non-operating activity that includes one-time transfers out of the General Fund to the Facilities Financing Plan (FFP) Fund and General Fund Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Approximately $10 million of the budget surplus is expected to be utilized to set-aside funds for the Contingency Reserve (pursuant to City Council Policy F-2), and to replenish the FFP and General Fund CIP
Fund for amounts attributable to the Dove Street Property Purchase. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review and discuss this report and provide any recommendations for consideration by
the City Manager and City Council. DISCUSSION: Economic Overview The City’s assessed property values continue to increase providing a strong revenue base for the City. Recent trends in inflation have caused concern in the broader economy
300
Second Quarter Budget Update February 16, 2023 Page 2
and financial markets, however, the City is well-positioned to weather any short-term increase in inflation thanks to the related increase in many of the City’s revenues such as sales tax and transient occupancy tax as prices increase. General Fund Revenues Overall General Fund revenue growth has outpaced projections that were incorporated
into the adopted Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget. Growth in transient occupancy tax, sales
tax, parking revenue, and property tax has contributed to a significant projected increase in General Fund revenues of $7.5 million versus the adopted budget. The following table summarizes the changes to projected General Fund revenues versus the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23. Details follow highlighting the reasons for the material variances. Fiscal Year 2022-23 Projected General Fund Revenues*
* Based on preliminary year-end close data available as of December 31, 2022
Property Tax - Property taxes are the City’s single largest General Fund revenue and represent approximately 50% of all General Fund revenues. As these revenues are primarily dependent on the assessed valuation established in January of 2022, there is
typically very little variance seen from the original budget as the year progresses. Projections for Fiscal Year 2022-23 property tax revenues from the City’s property tax consultant reflect a 7.6% increase in assessed values in the year ahead. This strong growth is a result of the CPI factor returning to the maximum 2.0% allowed and adding $1.2 billion to the assessed valuation, as well as continued strong property sales activity
and price appreciation adding $5.0 billion to the assessed valuation. The City’s total assessed valuation for Fiscal Year 2022-23 is now projected to grow from $66.2 billion to $71.2 billion.

Second Quarter Budget Update February 16, 2023 Page 3
Sales Tax - The second largest funding source for the General Fund is sales tax revenue, making up more than 15% of General Fund revenues. The City’s sales tax base is largely generated from three industry categories – autos and transportation, general consumer goods, and restaurants/hotels. An updated projection provided by the City’s sales tax
consultant reflects a $2.5 million increase over the adopted budget. Major categories
driving this increase are restaurants and hotels, projected to be up 10.8% over the prior year same quarter, state and county pools, up 7.5%, and general consumer goods, up 6.8%.
Transient Occupancy Tax – The City has seen a steady rebound and comeback for
TOT revenues as the effects of the pandemic receded. The TOT budget for the current fiscal year was developed in anticipation of full recovery of TOT revenues. Revenue from short-term lodging businesses, which grew throughout the pandemic, is at a record high level. Additionally, many hotel properties are reporting record high TOT receipts and have
been doing so for multiple consecutive months. While occupancy levels have not
returned to pre-pandemic levels, they are slowly increasing. This lag in occupancy levels has been largely offset by higher room rates as shown in the chart provided by Visit Newport Beach:
VEA Newport Beach is now operational, with expanded meeting space, higher room rates, and a full complement of rooms available that have not been usable during the renovation process this past year. Staff had conservatively not included an impact in the adopted TOT revenue budget from the changes to the hotel, which should result in a
positive variance beyond the Fiscal Year 2022-23 projection. The Fashion Island Hotel
remains closed but is expected to reopen in the Summer of 2023 following a sale and renovation as the Pendry Newport Beach. Similarly, because the timing of the Pendry’s opening is uncertain, staff has not included any revenue from the hotel in the projection. These reopening’s, combined with the expected return of more business travelers, are
anticipated to have additional positive impact on the City’s TOT revenues in the years
ahead. An updated analysis of the City’s TOT revenues shows an expected increase of $1.1
302
Second Quarter Budget Update February 16, 2023 Page 4
million, due largely to strong short term lodging businesses, which increases the current year projection to $28.9 million. Staff will continue to monitor TOT trends and will provide additional updates to projections as necessary in future quarterly financial reports.
All Other Revenue – This category includes all other revenue sources other than the top
three (property tax, sales tax, and TOT). All Other Revenue is made up of the following:
• Other Taxes – real property transfer taxes, business license taxes, marine charter taxes, and franchise fees.
• Service Fees and Charges – plan check fees, recreation classes, emergency medical services fees, and numerous other cost-of-service fees.
• Parking Revenue – all General Fund related metered parking fees that are
assessed throughout the various parking zones of the City.
• Licenses and Permits – fees charged to process building related permits, street closure permits, dog licenses, and police tow franchise fees.
• Property Income – City owned and managed income producing properties, long-term ground leases to concessions, restaurants, hotels and other businesses and organizations, and rental of City facilities to the public.
• Fines and Penalties – parking citation fines collected by the City, administrative
citation fines, fines remitted to the City from the County for vehicle code violations, and false alarm penalties.
• Intergovernmental Revenues – federal, state, and local grant revenues, which includes, but is not limited to, the City’s portion of the ½ cent sales tax revenue
paid to the County for public safety, state mandate reimbursements,
reimbursement for strike teams sent to assist with fires, and revenue sharing with the County of Orange under the Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA).
• Investment Earnings – revenue generated from the investment of City funds.
• Miscellaneous Revenues – restricted revenue, damage to City property, bad debt, donations and contributions, non-operating revenues such as proceeds from the sale of materials and equipment, and other miscellaneous revenues.
• Operating Transfers In – Operating Transfers In reflect regular ongoing transfers
into the General Fund from other funds. For Fiscal Year 2022-23, this includes the transfer from the Tidelands Fund for the expenses related to the Cost Allocation Plan.
Staff has updated parking revenue projections based on an analysis of actual revenue
received year to date. The adopted budget was established with conservative assumptions about public use of the new pay stations, as there has historically been a learning curve as meters are replaced. Parking revenues are also impacted by elevated rates of tourism in the City, which is also reflected in the growth in TOT revenues. Total
303
Second Quarter Budget Update February 16, 2023 Page 5
parking revenues in the General Fund are projected to total $7.4 million, or $1.3 million over the adopted budget.
Intergovernmental revenues are projected to exceed the revised budget by $579,000, due to the Medi-Cal Managed Care Rate Range Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT)
Program for Cost Recovery of EMS Services. The California Department of Health Care
Services (DHCS) offers local units of government that provide health care services the opportunity to secure additional Medi-Cal IGT revenues. Participation in the IGT allows the City to receive additional Federal funds to offset previously unreimbursed costs for providing Medi -Cal plan members emergency medical and transport services. This grant
program has a corresponding increase of $310,177 in the grant operating expenditure
category, which is reflected below.
General Fund Expenditures The Fiscal Year 2022-23 General Fund revised expenditure budget totals $287.3 million,
including transfers. Spending trends in Fiscal Year 2022-23 are generally consistent with
prior years and do not indicate any cause for concern. Total expenditure savings of $4.6 million are projected at this time due to year-to-date savings from vacancies, offset by expense overages that are addressed in a Budget Amendment that will accompany this report to the City Council and are explained in detail below.
The table below summarizes the changes to the adopted expenditure budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23, as well as expenditure savings by budget category. Details follow highlighting the reasons for the material variances.

Second Quarter Budget Update February 16, 2023 Page 6
Significant expenditure budget variances are as follows:
• The revised salary and benefits budget totals $170.0 million, an increase of $6.5
million over the adopted budget. The increase is primarily due to the appropriation
of $5.0 million from the Fiscal Year 2022-23 structural budget surplus as an additional discretionary payment to CalPERS to further reduce the City’s unfunded pension liability. The remaining $1.2 million relates to recently approved contracts with the majority of the City’s employee associations. The City does not budget
for unknown labor costs, which requires mid-year appropriations for negotiated
salary and benefit increases in the year in which new labor contracts are negotiated. An analysis of year-to-date savings from vacant positions has resulted in a projected salary and benefit savings of $5.2 million dollars.
• The grant operating expenditure category reflects the additional $310,177 needed for the Medi-Cal IGT program, which is fully offset by additional revenues as explained in the revenue section of this report.
• The utilities budget was increased in Fiscal Year 2022-23 by $830,000 over the Fiscal Year 2021-22 adopted budget, however, additional overages are now apparent. Staff is evaluating this issue and will be making adjustments in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget to address it. As budget savings in other expenditure
categories are anticipated to fully offset the projected $267,224 overage, staff is
not recommending a further adjustment to the utilities budget at this time.
General Fund Sources, Uses, and Projected Surplus The City continues to be in excellent financial health. Conservative budgeting and sound
financial policies have resulted in a trend of General Fund operating surpluses and strong
reserve levels for several years. The City is well positioned to continue delivering a high level of service to the community while targeting surplus resources to key priorities each year. Staff currently projects that unrestricted General Fund resources will total $12.4 million at the end of Fiscal Year 2022-23. As is the case each year, staff anticipate that
additional budget savings will be realized as the year progresses. The table on the following page illustrates the prior year sources and uses of funds as compared to the adopted budget and the projected year-end results.

Second Quarter Budget Update February 16, 2023 Page 7
Fiscal Year 2022-23 Projected General Sources, Uses, and Budget Surplus
As reflected in the table above, a $12.4 million operating surplus for the General Fund is projected for Fiscal Year 2022-23, which is net of non-operating activity that includes one-time transfers out of the General Fund to the FFP and General Fund CIP. Approximately $10 million of the budget surplus is expected to be utilized to set-aside funds for the
Contingency Reserve (pursuant to City Council Policy F-2), and to replenish the FFP and
General Fund CIP Fund for amounts attributable to the Dove Street Property Purchase. Transfers There are multiple operating and non-operating transfers in and out of the General Fund
for Fiscal Year 2022-23. Included in the operating transfers in is the full amount of the
cost allocations as a transfer from the Tidelands Fund, and included in the operating transfers out is the General Fund’s contributions to the Capital Improvement Fund, Tidelands Capital Fund, Facilities Financing Planning Fund, Facilities Maintenance Fund, and the Tidelands operating subsidy. Included in the non-operating transfers in is the
advance repayment from the Tidelands Capital Fund, which was utilized for dredging
within the City’s Tidelands. Included in the non-operating transfers out is the transfer of the prior year surplus to the Police Facility Fund for the purchase of a property on Dove Street, utilization of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 structural surplus which transferred funds to the Capital Improvement Fund, and the Facilities Financing Planning Fund, as well as
one time program enhancements included in the adopted budget.

Second Quarter Budget Update February 16, 2023 Page 8
Other Major Funds Staff have evaluated the fiscal condition of the City’s other major operating funds (Tidelands, Water, and Wastewater). An analysis of the budget performance for these funds indicates that no budget adjustments are necessary and variances between
budgeted and actual amounts are within reason.
Contributions Fund The City was recently awarded funding from CalRecycle under the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Rubberized Pavement Grant Program. Partial reimbursement is received for using
rubberized asphalt concrete to pave certain city streets. Funds are used to supplement
various Capital Improvement Program (CIP) street projects that make use of rubberized asphalt concrete, which is derived from recycled tires. A budget amendment will be included as part of this report to the City Council to appropriate $250,000 in revenues and expenditures in the Contributions Fund.
Additional unforeseen work was required on the Jamboree Road Pavement Rehabilitation project that is the responsibility of Orange County Water District (OCWD). The City will bill OCWD for the cost of the additional work. A budget amendment will be included as part of this report to the City Council to appropriate an additional $16,328 in revenues and
expenditures in the Contributions Fund. FFP Fund The Fiscal Year 2022-23 adopted budget for the Facilities Financing Planning (FFP) Fund included anticipated fee revenue for Park Zone 9 in the amount of $874,000. It is now
anticipated that these fees will not be collected until Fiscal Year 2023-24, therefore staff
seek to align the budgeted revenues in this fund with current projections by reducing revenues in account 51303-422105. This has been incorporated into the updated FFP and revenues related to Park Zone 9 will be included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 adopted budget.
Conclusion Staff recommends that the Finance Committee review and discuss this report and provide any recommendations for City Manager and City Council consideration prior to the
February 28th City Council meeting, at which time this report will be presented. Prepared and Submitted by:
