CITY OF
CALIFORNIA
May 22, 2018
To the Honorable Mayor, Member of the City Council, and the Citizens of the City of Arroyo Grande
State law requires that all general-purpose local governments publish within six months of the close of the fiscal year a
complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP) and audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America by a licensed certified public accountant. Pursuant to the requirement, we hereby issue this annual
financial report of the City of Arroyo Grande (the City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently, management
assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To
provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive
internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile
sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because
the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls
has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from
material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is
complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City’s financial statements have been audited by Moss, Levy & Hartzheim LLP, a licensed certified public accountant
firm. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 are free of material misstatements. 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 upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for
rendering an unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 are fairly
presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors’ report is presented as the first component of the
financial section of this report.
The independent audit of the City’s financial statements is part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed
to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require that
agencies expending more than $750,000 in federal monies, be required to have the independent auditor report not only
on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and
compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the
administration of federal awards. The City did not expend the minimum amount of federal awards and was thus not
subject to a Single Audit Report.
Management has provided a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements
in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the
MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the
independent auditors.

Profile of the Government
The City of Arroyo Grande is located five miles inland from the central California coastline. Incorporated in 1911, the City
contains acres of agriculturally productive land in a valley created by the Arroyo Grande Creek. The City currently
occupies a land area of 5.45 square miles and serves a population of approximately 17,736.
The City is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and personal properties located within its boundaries. It’s
also empowered by State statute to extend its corporate limits by annexation, which occurs periodically when deemed
appropriate by the City Council.
The City has operated under the council-manager form of government since 1911. Policy-making and legislative
authority are vested in a governing council consisting of the mayor and four other members. The governing council is
responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and hiring both
the City’s manager and attorney. The City’s manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the
City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City, and for appointing the heads of the various
departments. The Council is elected on a non-partisan basis. Council members serve four-year staggered terms and the
mayor is elected to serve a two-year term. The mayor and the council members are elected at large.
The City provides a full range of services including: police protection, the construction and maintenance of streets and
other infrastructure, and recreational activities and cultural events. Certain utility services are provided by the City
through the Water and Sewer Funds, which is a division of the Public Works department.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. All departments and divisions
are required to submit requests for appropriations to the City Manager. These requests are used as the starting point
for developing a proposed budget. The City Manager then presents this proposed budget to the City Council for review
prior to June 1st. The City Council is required to hold public hearings on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget
by no later than June 30th, the close of the City’s fiscal year. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department
(e.g. public works), and division (e.g. automotive shop). Department directors may make transfers of appropriations
within a department. Transfers of appropriations between departments or changes in appropriations that affect the
fund balance, require the approval of the City Council.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the
broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates.
Local Economy
The City continues to experience economic improvement, with increases in all major tax revenue sources. The formation
of a local Tourism Business Improvement District is positively impacting local lodging establishments, as well as other
businesses that are related to tourism. Development activity in the City has remained steady, with measured increases
projected into next fiscal year. In addition, home prices have and sales tax revenues are increasing. Further detail on the
City demographics can be found in the Statistical Section of the report.
Long-Term Financial Planning
The City completed a 10-year fiscal forecast that acknowledges continued investment in the City’s infrastructure as an
important goal. Numerous Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects were completed during the fiscal year to improve the
City’s infrastructure, facilities and parks, improve drainage problems and improve the overall look of the community.
The following list of projects approved in the FY 2017-18 Budget will impact the community.
A- 3
Parks – Construction of ADA improvements at the Soto Sports Complex will be accomplished through the use of
Community Development Block Grant funds. In addition, replacement of the roof at the Strother Park restroom building
is planned as well as the replacement of the large play structure at Strother Park.
Street Projects – The environmental report for the Brisco Road-Halcyon Road/Route 101 Interchange project is
scheduled to be completed. In addition, several pavement rehabilitation projects are scheduled to improve the City’s
streets.
Bridge Projects – The Bridge Street bridge rehabilitation, Traffic Way bridge scour, and the reinforcement of the historic
Swinging Bridge are all programmed.
Flood Protection and Drainage Projects – Several projects related to stormwater, storm drains, and flood protection are
programmed, including the permitting for the removal of sedimentation at Equestrian Way and drainage solutions in the
Sierra Drive/Hillcrest Drive neighborhood.
Water & Sewer Projects – Various waterline upgrades, the design of the Lift Station No. 1 forcemain replacement and
the upgrade of the Pike sewer lines are budgeted.
Cash Management Policies and Practices
Cash temporarily idle during the fiscal year was primarily invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), a State
investment pool. This pool offers the City liquidity, safety, and a higher rate of interest than could be found with local
banks. The average yield on investments was 1.095% during the past fiscal year. Investment income includes
appreciation in the fair value of LAIF at fiscal year-end. Increases in fair value during the current fiscal year, however, do
not necessarily represent trends that will continue; nor is it always possible to realize such amounts.
Risk Management
The City joined the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) in July of 2003, for the purpose of pooling liability
risks. The CJPIA was formed under the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) provisions of the State law. The Fund is directed
by a board of directors comprised of a representative appointed by the city council of each member agency. The
Insurance Fund derives its revenues from contributions established for each city at the beginning of each policy year.
The contributions are established by the board of directors based on the recommendations of the JPA’s program
administrators and actuaries using recognized insurance experience rating techniques.
In addition, various control techniques, including employee accident prevention training, have been implemented during
the year to minimize accident-related losses. The third-party coverage is currently maintained for individual workers’
compensation claims in excess of $350,000, while the City participates in a shared risk pool for liability claims above
$30,000. During FY 2003-04, the City began the process of joining the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority for
workers’ compensation coverage.
Pension and Other Postemployment Benefits
The City participates in the defined benefit pension plan administered by the California Public Retirement Agency
(CalPERS) for all full-time employees. Each fiscal year, the Agency calculates the amount of the annual contribution the
City must make to the pension plan to ensure the plan will be able to fully meet its obligation to retired employees on a
timely basis.
The City also provides postretirement health benefits for certain retirees and their dependents. As of the end of the
current fiscal year, there were forty-two (42) retired employees receiving these benefits, which are financed on a pay-as-
you-go-basis.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
City Council of the City of Arroyo Grande
Arroyo Grande, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Arroyo Grande (City), as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in
the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial.statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of
the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of
Arroyo Grande, as of June 30, 2017, and the respective changes in financial position, and cash flows where applicable thereof, for
the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis on
pages B-3 through B-15, the budgetary comparison information on pages B-73 through B-78, the schedule of funding progress for
other postemployment benefits on page B-79, the schedule of proportionate share of net pension liability on page B-80, and the
schedule of pension contributions on page B-81 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information,
although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it
to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquires of management about the
methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquires,
the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient
evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of
Arroyo Grande's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements,
agency funds financial statements, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and the agency funds financial statements are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our
opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and agency funds financial statements are fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 8, 2018, on our consideration of the
City of Arroyo Grande'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 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 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
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
B - 3
The management’s discussion and analysis of the City of Arroyo Grande provides an overall review of the City’s financial acti vities for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the City’s financial performance as a
whole. Readers should review the discussion and analysis in conjunction with the basic f inancial statements, as well as the notes to
the basic financial statements to enhance their understanding of the City’s financial performance.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Key financial highlights for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, are as follows:
The City has finished the fiscal year with General Fund revenues exceeding expenditures by approximately $190,000,
however, after transfers and other financing sources, the General Fund’s fund balance of $9.4 million reflects an
increase of approximately $1.8 million. This fund balance amount has exceeded the City’s reserve policy goal of 20% of
appropriated General Fund expenditures. Of the $9.4 million in fund balance, approximately $6.3 million is
“unassigned” fund balance which is available at the City Council’s discretion.
In total, the Water and Sewer funds have finished the fiscal year with revenues exceeding expenses, a reversal from the
previous year results, which were a result of significant water conservation due to the historic drought. Both funds
have reserves exceeding the policy goal of 90-days of operating expenses, plus an appropriation of capital
improvements equal to $500,000, and a debt service reserve equal to one year of annual debt service.
The City completed capital improvement projects including:
o The property acquisition of the LePoint parking lot.
o An upgrade to the audio/visual and broadcasting equipment in the Council Chamber, along with a remodel of
the facility for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements to the restrooms and a new roof.
o Partnership with a local Eagle Scout to complete the installation of a play structure at Heritage Square Park.
o The completion of a rain garden at Strother Park.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements, schedules and notes to those statements. These statements are
organized so the reader can understand the City as a financial whole, an entire operating entity. These statements then proc eed to
provide an increasingly detailed look at specific financial activities. This annual report consists of three basic sections – introductory
section, financial section (which consists of this discussion and analysis), and a statistical section.
The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the City:
The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both long-term and short-term
information about the City’s overall financial status.
The remaining statements are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the government, reporting the
City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide financial statements.
The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provid e more
detailed data.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE
Government-wide financial statements report information about the City as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used
by private-sector companies (all fiscal year revenues and expenses are accounted for regardless of when the cash is received or
paid). The statement of net position includes all of the City ’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows
of resources. The statement of activities also reports the City’s net position but more specifically how it has changed (revenues and
expenses). Net position is the difference between all of the City’s assets added to deferred outflows of resources and liabilities
added to the deferred inflows of resources. Net position is one of the ways to measure the City’s financial health or positi on.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
B - 4
Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net position is an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or
deteriorating, respectively. To assess the overall health of the City, you also need to consider additional non-financial factors such as
changes in the City’s tax base, facility condition, required educational programs, and other factors.
The City’s combined net position for the past 10 fiscal years is presented in the graph below:
Net position increased during the 2016-17 fiscal year from $84.7 million to $88.5 million, or by 4.5%. This overall increase is due to
an increase in governmental activities and a slight decrease in business-type activities. The increase in governmental activities is
largely due to changes in the deferred inflows and outflows of resources related to pensions.
The government-wide financial statements of the City are divided into two categories:
Governmental activities: Most of the City’s basic services are included here, such as the general government,
community development, police, public works, and recreation services. Property and sales taxes, user fees, interest
income, franchise fees, and state and federal grants finance these types of activities.
Business-type activities: The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the cost o f certain services it
provides. The City’s water, Lopez treatment, and sewer systems are reported in this category.

GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
The City’s net position of governmental activities at June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015 are as follows:
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 68 established guidelines regarding how the City r eports pension
liability. Pension liability has always existed, however it has not been required to be reported in the financial statements until the
2014-15 fiscal year. At June 30, 2017, the City reported net pension liability of $15.4 million for governmental activities. Net
pension liability is influenced by several factors, including the long -term rate of return earned by the pension system’s investments
as well as the City’s share of the total pension fund’s assets and can fluctuate significantly from year to year. More infor mation on
the long term pension obligations can be found in the Notes to the Financial Statements and the Required Suppleme ntary
Information.
The City continues to utilize revenue from the 2006 Local Sales Tax Measure for the purposes of capital projects and infrastructure
improvements. During the 2016-17 fiscal year, the City utilized over $1.1 million of this funding to improve and maintain streets,
over $100,000 to support public safety efforts, $500,000 toward the purchase of the Le Point Street parking lot, and $100,000 for
stormwater and drainage projects. The Local Sales Tax Measure provi des approximately $2.2 million annually and is critical in the
maintenance and improvement of the infrastructure throughout the community.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
B - 6
The City’s statement of activities of governmental activities at June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015 are as follows:
During the 2016-17 fiscal year, the City’s total revenue increased by 7.4% to $19.8 million and expenses decreased by 5.6% to $17.3
million.
The City’s significant source of revenue is derived by property and sales taxes. These taxes have had significant increases in the past
several fiscal years. During the 2016-17 fiscal year, these taxes generated $12.3 million, or 62% of total revenue. This was a
decrease of about $17,000 when compared to the 2015-16 fiscal year and an increase of over $860,000 when compared to the
2014-15 fiscal year. Because these taxes are the significant sources of City income, fluctuations to these taxes can have a dramatic
change in the services the City can provide. The table on the following page shows the increases and decreases in property and sales
taxes for the past ten fiscal years:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
B - 7
Property tax revenues have steadily increased for the past four fiscal years and are projected to continue a modest but steady
increase for the upcoming years. During 2016-17, the City redeemed bonds that had been funded through a property tax allocation
and no property tax was received for this purpose. This reduction in property tax revenues will be ongoing in future years; h owever
significant interest savings was realized by paying the debt. In addition, sales tax and transient occupancy tax are expected to
increase, however, not at the same growth as experienced in the past two fiscal years.
The City charged $3.2 million for services to users and developers in the 2016-17 fiscal year and makes up approximately 16% of
total revenue for the City. This represents an increase of approximately $1.2 million from the prior fiscal year. The Community
Development Department which includes the Planning, Engineering and Building divisions reported revenues of $1.2 million in the
2016-17 fiscal year but only $900,000 in the 2015-16 fiscal year. In addition, the 2016-17 fiscal year included approximately
$300,000 in one-time charges for public works related services.
The City’s long range financial plan has projected continued modest increases in revenues over the next 10 -years; however, recent
indicators have projected an economic decline beginning in 2019-20. In addition to the increase in revenues, the City has incurred
additional costs as explained below.
The cost of all governmental activities in the 201 6-17 fiscal year was $17.3 million, a decrease of 6% in comparison to last fiscal year.
Because the City is a service oriented organization, the majority of the fluctuations in expenses from one year to the next can be
attributed to employee-related benefits including pensions and medical costs. In the 2016-17 fiscal year, the Police Department
experienced several staffing vacancies, generating much of the decrease from the prior year. Further analysis of the changes in
employee-related expenditures is presented in the fund analysis of City’s funds section of this report.
As shown on the following page, public safety and general government, represents the City’s highest percent of expenses incurred at
33%, followed by general government (which includes the City Clerk, Information Technology, City Council, City Manager, Finance
and Human Resources divisio ns) at 30%, public works (which consists of maintenance of parks and facilities not including utilities) at
10% and community development (which includes Planning, Engineering and Building) at 10%. These functions were subsidized by
taxes, investment income, miscellaneous income, and transfers from the business -type activities.

The City continues to invest heavily in public safety; those activities cost the City approximately $5.1 million in the 2016-17 fiscal
year. This does not include capital cost s related to public safety such as the recently renovated police station (total cost of $3.1
million) because those costs are recognized as capital assets and depreciated over the estimated life of the building. The C ity is also
anticipating some much needed investment towards fire-related infrastructure including fire engines. The City currently contributes
approximately $2.2 million towards the operations of the Five Cities Fire Authority. The Fire Authority has an aging fleet system and
in response, during the 2015-16 fiscal year, the Five Cities Fire Authority board of directors entered into a lease purchase
arrangement for the replacement of one fire engine, with a second replacement engine anticipated in fiscal year 2017 -18.
In addition, the City continues to contribute heavily to streets, roads, and sidewalk renovations. Because most road work is repair
and/or maintenance, they are recognized as expenditures in the fiscal year incurred. For the 2016-17 fiscal year, the City spent
approximately $2.4 million in street and road costs. This program is funded from the State’s gasoline taxes (which contributed
approximately $355,000), transportation taxes (which contributed approximately $360,000) and is also funded from the additional
one half cent sales tax the voters approved in 2006. During the 2016-17 fiscal year, the additional sales tax contributed over $1.1
million towards street and road-related projects. The City continues to budget and contribute to wards these efforts in the 5 to 10
year financial forecast.
BUSINESS-TYPE ACTIVITIES
The City provides water delivery and wastewater collection services to a population of approximately 17,700 with 6,400 accounts.
The City has two main sources of water: ground water and surface water from Lopez Reservoir. Water treatment is handled by the
County of San Luis Obispo and wastewater treatment is handled by the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District.

As shown above, the City’s net position decreased by 1.9%, from $42.2 million to $41.4 million. As mentioned in the government-
wide section of this report, pension liability is now being reported as a result of GASB Statement No. 68. Business -type activities
reported pension liability in the amount of $1.8 million for fiscal year 2016-17. Net position decreased during the fiscal year
primarily due to the recognition of the prior year’s $1.7 million pre-paid asset in the Lopez Fund.
In March 2014, the City Council approved the Water and Wastewater Financial Plan and Rate Study for the fiscal years 2014 -15 to
2018-19. As a result of that study, the City increased its reserve requirements from 60-days of operating and maintenance costs to
90-days. This has provided a greater degree of flexibility because of revenue decreases due to conservation and other unforeseen
costs. In addition, the City continues to maintain a capital reserve of $500,000 and a debt service reserve equal to 1 -year of debt
service obligations (which is approximately $1.4 million).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
B - 10
The City’s statement of activities of business -type activities at June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015 are as follows:
The business-type activities had operating income of $1.3 million in the 2016 -17 fiscal year, whereas $1.4 million in the 2015-16
fiscal year and $2.3 million in the 2014-15 fiscal year. Both operating revenues and expenses were higher than in the prior year
when activity was significantly impacted by the severe drought . During the 2015-16 fiscal year, the City Council approved a Stage 1
Water Shortage Emergency which limited the amount of water a customer could use without inc urring financial penalties. During
the 2016-17 fiscal year, the Water Emergency was rescinded. Revenues have rebounded as customers have increased water usage,
although not to pre-drought levels. The operating expenses include payments to the County for the City’s share of costs at the
Lopez water treatment facility, which were approximately $500,000 higher than the prior year.
The City’s current rate structure includes both a monthly fixed charge (flat amount that does not change per billing cycle) and a
volumetric charge (which is dependent on the actual amount of water usage). The fixed charge generates approximately 37% of the
total revenue with 63% from the variable. So although the City has some level of stability from the fixed charge, the increase in
consumption of water has had a significant effect on the overall revenues. The City continues to closely monitor revenues and
conservation efforts as these are now a continuous way of life in California.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the City’s most significant funds and not the City as a whole.
The City’s major governmental funds include: the General Fund, Special Gasoline Tax Fund, Transportation Impact Fees Fund, In -Lieu
Affordable Housing Fund, Community Development Block Grant Fund, and the Capital Improvement Fund. Funds are accounting
devices that the City uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for particular purposes.
Some funds are required by State law and by bond covenants.
Management establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is
meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and/or other money.
The City has three kinds of funds:
Governmental funds: Most of the City’s basic services are included in governmental funds which focus on how money
flows into and out of these funds and the balance left at fiscal year-end that is available for spending. These funds are
reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial
assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental funds statements provide a detailed short-term view
of the City’s general governmental operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps

determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the
City’s programs. Because this information does not encompass the additional long -term focus of the government-wide
statements, additional information is provided in the financial statements that reconciles and explains t he relationship
(or differences) between them.
Proprietary funds: When the City charges customers for the services it provides, these services are generally reported
in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of
Net Position and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. In fact, the City’s proprietary
funds are the same as the business-type activities reported in the government-wide statements but provide more
detail and additional information, such as cash flows. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate
information for the Water, Lopez, and Sewer funds.
Fiduciary funds: The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for the Downtown Parking Association, Sanitation District, and the
Successor Agency of the Former Redevelopment Agency. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported
in these funds are used for their intended purposes.
Governmental Funds – The focus of the City of Arroyo Grande’s governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows,
outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. I n
particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the
end of the fiscal year. At fiscal year-end, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $17.5 million, an
increase of approximately $544,000 in comparison with the prior fiscal year. Of the total fund balance, 36% of this total amount
($6.3 million) constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remaining
components of fund balance consist of non-spendable, restricted, committed and assigned and are present on the following page.
For further information on the definition of the fund balance classification, see Note 1, Subsection K – Fund Balances and Net
Position.

Total $ 9,384,896 $ 8,146,753 $ 17,531,649 100.0%
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Arroyo Grande. At the end of the current fiscal year, unassigned fund
balance was $6.3 million, while total fund balance reached $9.4 million. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be
useful to compare unassigned fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 39.3% of total general
fund expenditures. This exceeds the City Council’s reserve goal of 20%.
Proprietary Funds – The City of Arroyo Grande’s proprietary funds provide the same ty pe of information found in the Government-
wide Financial Statements under business-type activities, but includes a statement of cash flows. Factors concerning the finances of
these two funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City of Arroyo Grande’s business -type activities.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The City’s budget is prepared according to California law. The most significant budgeted fund is the General Fund. The City’s budget
is a flexible-spending plan, which commits resources to the accomplishment of City Council goals and objectives.
City Council’s approval is required for changes impacting fund balances, such as increases to appropriations that are not offset by
matching increases to estimated revenue. Approval is also required for all budget transfers between departments/divisions th at
alter fund balance. Semi-annual reports are used to keep the City Council informed of key budget issues, forecasts, and required
changes. The budget amendments reported in the financial reports fall into three categories:
The carryover of appropriations for contracts, equipment, and/or projects approved in the previous fiscal year(s), but
not completed as of fiscal year-end.
Increases or decreases in estimated revenues to reflect actual receipts of major revenues.
Additional appropriations for unforeseen, but necessary expenses or expen ditures.
Overall General Fund revenues have been improving and the City is benefitting from the widespread economic gains. Sales taxes are
increasing in all major categories, property taxes are trending upward and there has been increased registration in the City’s
recreation programs. Expenditures have largely remained at or below budgeted levels.
The overall difference between the original General Fund budget and the final amended budget was an increase of approximately
$737,000 in appropriations. This can mainly be attributed by the following: 1) the carryover of uncompleted capital projects from
the prior fiscal year, 2) costs associated with an increase in the number and complexity of public records requests, and 3) negotiated
salary and benefit increases for employees. In addition, during the fiscal year, the City Council increased the General Fund’s budget
for Five Cities Fire Authority by approving the use of one -time funds to pay for the City’s share of a replacement fire engine, which
cost $260,500, rather than financing the engine replacement over 10 years.
CAPITAL ASSETS
The capital assets of the City are those which are used in the performance of the City’s functions, including but not limited to
infrastructure-related assets. At June 30, 2017, capital assets, net of related accumulated depreciation, of the governmental
activities totaled $43.0 million and the capital assets, net of related accumulated depreciation, of the business-type activities totaled
$35.2 million. Depreciation on capital assets is recognized in the government-wide financial statements.
The investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and system improvements, machinery and equipment, park facilities, roads,
highways, and bridges. The City’s investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was 87% of total net position. The capital
assets are summarized by activity on the following page.

Renovations at the Corporation Yard for approximately $500,000
New annual programs are recommended through the budget process. In the five-year Capital Improvement Program from fiscal
years 2016-17 through 2020-21, the major capital projects include:
The purchase and construction of the Le Point Street Parking Lot expansion: Estimated total cost of project - $800,000.
Reinforcement of the Swinging Bridge – Total cost estimated to be $ 451,100.
Both the Bridge Street Bridge and Traffic Way Bridge Improvements: Total cost of both projects is estimated to be $6.4
million to be funded through State grants.
Brisco Road Interchange Project – Depending on which alternative is selected, the total cost of improvements is
estimated to be between $14 million and $23 million.
Pavement Management Program, the City’s annual improvements to streets and roads – $845,000.
Replacement of the large play structure at Strother Park - $60,000.
Continued improvements with the Water and Sewer systems based on their specific master plans.
LONG-TERM DEBT
At the end of the 2016-17 fiscal year, the City had a variety of outstanding long-term debt, totaling $18.8 million in governmental
activities and $2.0 million in business-type activities. The City had total USDA loans payable outstanding of $1.1 million that was used

to acquire the property and office building for the location of City Hall offices. The City also has capital leases for police vehicles and
certain information technology equipment, the outstanding amount of which is $414,978. Lastly, the City’s most significant
outstanding long-term liability is the net pension liability. The net pension liability is the difference between the total pension
liability (the present value of projected benefit payments to empl oyees based on their past service) and the assets (mostly
investments reported at fair value) set aside to pay current employees, retirees, and beneficiaries.
During the year, the City retired General Obligation debt of $955,000 which was used for expanding the current fire station in order
to accommodate a full time fire staff. Voters approved the general obligation debt in November 2002, which was repaid through a
tax assessment on property taxes. The City also made final payment on the capital lease for the sewer vactor truck during the fiscal
year. Debt payments in the amount of $1,146,751 for governmental activities and $41,604 for business-type activities were made
during the fiscal year. The City anticipates entering into vehicle leasing in the future, but no significant debt being added in the next
few years.
Further detail on each debt can be found in Note 8 in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements section. The following table

FINANCIAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS
The budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year was approved by City Council on June 13, 2017. It represents a balanced and responsible
approach to meeting the City’s short and long-term needs in a cost effective manner, will continue to fund the high quality services
provided to the community, and will invest in the future through capital improvements and maintenance activities.
As the City experiences continued revenue growth, it will be important to determine the highest priority uses of additional
resources. Over the past year, staff has worked to identify important priorities for funding and has identified deficiencies in service,
maintenance and/or investment that will require attention in the short and long -term. Staff identified several challenges facing the
City in the near future including:
Rising pension costs
Securing a long-term, drought resistant water supply
The eventual closure of the Diablo Nuclear Power Plant
Overall economic development and revenue generation
Long-term infrastructure maintenance
Sustainability of ongoing operational needs
The Long-Range Financial Plan assumes slowed growth beginning in the 2018-19 fiscal year and recessionary retraction beginning in
the 2020-21 fiscal year that is comparable to the last recession. One of the objectives of the Long Range Financial Plan is to begin
development of contingency planning for the next economic downturn. Since the economy increases and decreases in cycles, it is

important to utilize long-range financial planning to provide for consistent service level delivery. It is proposed to annually increase
reserves through accumulation of unexpended funds at the end of each fiscal year. In addition, as revenues increase and the C ity has
the ability to restore services reduced over the past few years, staff is attempting to do so largely through contracts a nd other
means that will provide the flexibility to expand and contract the organization in a timely manner when necessary due to econ omic
trends. The objective is to be prepared for the next economic downturn so adjustments can be made that will maintain stable
services and minimize the needs for layoffs or negotiated employee concessions.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of The City of Arroyo Grande (City) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America as applied to governmental units. The Government Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more
significant of the City's accounting policies are described below:
A. Reporting Entity
The City was incorporated in 1911, under the laws of the State of California. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of
government, which includes an elected Mayor and a four-member council. The accompanying basic financial statements present
the financial activity of the City, which is the primary government, along with the financial activities of its component unit, which
is an entity for which the City is financially accountable. Although they are separate legal entities, blended component units are
in substance part of the City's operations and are reported as an integral part of the City's basic financial statements.
There are no component units in this report which meet the criteria of the GASB Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity,
as amended by GASB Statements No. 39, 61, and 80.
B. Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The
operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund
balances or net position, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated to and
accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which the governmental resources are to be spent and the means
by which spending activities are controlled.
The government-wide, proprietary funds and private-purpose trust fund financial statements are reported using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Assets equal liabilities and the
measurement of operations is not a focus of the agency funds.
• Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues
reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after fiscal year-end.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt,
claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent that they have matured.
Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expendituresin governmental funds. Proceeds of long-term debt and acquisitions under
capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange,
include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is. recognized in
the fiscal year for the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which
all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.

June 30, 2017
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — continued
B. Basis of Accounting and Presentation — continued
Other revenues susceptible to accrual include other taxes, intergovernmental revenues, interest, and charges for services.
Grant revenues are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements are met. Under the terms of grant agreements,
the City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general
revenues. Thus, either restricted and unrestricted fund balances or net position may be available to finance program
expenditures/expenses. The City's policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general
revenues if necessary.
Government-wide Statements
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the City. These statements include the
financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the
double counting of internal activities. Government activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues,
and other non-exchange transactions.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the City's
governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are
clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services
offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational needs of a particular program,
and (c) fees, grants, and contributions that are restricted to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues
that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds, including fiduciary funds. Separate statements for each
fund category-governmental, proprietary and fiduciary-are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major
individual funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported
as non-major funds.
Proprietary fund financial statements include a Statement of Net Position, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in
Net Position, and a Statement of Cash Flows for all proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are accounted for using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or non-
current) are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position
present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which liability is incurred.
Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are those revenues that are generated from the primary operation of the fund. All
other revenues are reported as non-operating revenues. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary
operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as non-operating expenses.
Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private
organizations, other governmental units, and/or other funds. The City maintains two agency funds, Sanitation District and
Downtown Parking, and one private-purpose trust fund, the Successor Agency to the Former Redevelopment Agency of Arroyo
Grande.

C. Major Funds
GASB Statement No. 34 defines major funds and requires that the City's major funds be identified and presented separately in
the fund financial statements. All other funds, called non-major funds, are combined and reported in a single column, regardless
of their fund-type.
Major funds are defined as funds that have assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses equal to or greater than (a) ten
percent of their fund-type total and (b) five percent of all fund types total combined. The General Fund is always a major fund.
The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
General Fund— This is the primary operating fund of the City, which accounts for resources and services traditionally associated
with government. The General Fund provides administrative, financial, police protection, fire protection, community
development, recreation, and maintenance services to the community.
Special Gasoline Tax Fund—This fund accounts for the receipts and expenditures of money apportioned by the State under Streets
and Highway Code sections 2103, 2105, 2106, 2107, and 2107.5. The use of gas tax revenue can only be used to construct and
maintain streets, roads, and highways.
Transportation Impact Fees Fund—This fund accounts for transportation impact fees collected.
In-Lieu Affordable Housing Fund— This fund accounts for monies paid by developers in meeting the City's mandatory affordable
housing requirement.
CDBG Fund—This fund accounts for revenues and expenditures related to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
Capital Improvement Fund— This fund accounts for capital improvements projects performed by the City and the use of those
revenues.
The City reported the following major proprietary funds:
Water Fund— This fund accounts for the activities of providing water to residents of the City. This fund also accounts for the
accumulation of water facility revenues to be used in capital improvement projects in the City.
Sewer Fund—This fund is used to account for maintenance of sewer lines connecting City residents to the South San Luis Obispo
County Sanitation District sewer plant. Maintenance costs are funded by user charges. This fund also accounts for the
accumulation of sewer facility revenues to be used in capital improvement projects in the City.
Lopez Fund—This fund accounts for the activities associated with Lopez Lake and the water contract with the County of San Luis
Obispo.
D. Cash and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. The City considers pooled cash and investments, with original maturities
of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.
B-40

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — continued
D. Cash and Investments — continued
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External
Investment Pools, highly liquid market investments with maturities of one year or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized
cost. All other investments are stated at fair value. Market value is used as fair value for those securities for which market
quotations are readily available. The City's investments with fiscal agent required by bond indentures are stated at cost, which
approximate fair value.
The City participates in an investment pool managed by the State of California titled Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) which
has invested a portion of the pool funds in structured notes and asset-backed securities. LAIF's investments are subject to credit
risk with the full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing these investments. In addition, these structured notes
and asset-backed securities are subject to market risk as to change in interest rates.
E. Capital Assets
Capital assets are defined as costs related to the acquisition or purchase of property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure (roads,
sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, etc.). Capital assets are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type
activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated fair value on the
date contributed. It is the City's policy to capitalize all capital assets with costs exceeding $50,000 for infrastructure-type assets
and $5,000 on all other assets and with useful lives exceeding two years.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the life of the asset
are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
With the implementation of GASB Statement No. 34, the City has recorded all its public domain (infrastructure) capital assets,
which include roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, and lighting systems.
The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of capital assets equitable among all users over the life of these asset. The
amount charged to depreciation expense each fiscal year represents that fiscal year's pro rata share of the cost of capital assets.
GASB Statement No. 34 requires that all capital assets with limited useful lives be depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is provided using the straight line method which means the cost of the asset is divided by its expected useful life in
years and the result is charged to expense each fiscal year until the asset is fully depreciated. The City has assigned the useful
lives listed below to capital assets:
Machinery and equipment 5 — 15 years
Structures and improvements 10 — 50 years
Infrastructure 25 — 50 years
F. Interfund Transactions
Interfund transactions are reported as loans, services provided, reimbursements, or transfers. Loans are reported as interfund
receivables and payables, as appropriate, and are subject to elimination upon consolidation. Services provided, deemed to be at
market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses. Reimbursements occur when one fund incurs
a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund, and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions
are treated as transfers. Transfers among governmental funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide
financial statements.
G. Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenues are recognized for transactions for which revenue has not yet been earned. Typical transactions for which
unearned revenue is recorded are grants received but not yet earned.

H. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 63, "Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and
Net Position,' and GASB Statement No. 65, 'Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities,' the City recognizes deferred
outflows and inflows of resources.
In addition to assets, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources.
A deferred outflow of resources is defined as a consumption of net position by the City that is applicable to a future reporting
period.
In addition to liabilities, the Statement of Net Position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources.
A deferred inflow of resources is defined as an acquisition of net position by the City that is applicable to a future reporting period.
I. Compensated Absences
In compliance with GASB Statement No. 16, the City has established a liability for accrued sick leave and vacation. All vacation is
accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary financial statements. This liability is calculated for current
employees at the current rates of pay. .City employees accrue vacation and sick leave that vary in amounts, based primarily on
employment status and years of service. In the event of termination or retirement, employees are reimbursed for the total value
of their accumulated vacation days, annual leave and compensatory time. In the event of retirement, employees may choose to
be paid 50% of their unused sick leave, to a maximum of 450 hours at the current rate of pay. In addition, unused accumulated
sick leave may be converted to retirement credit per the City's contract with the California Public Employees Retirement System.
J. Long-term Debt
In the government-wide financial statements, proprietary fund, and private-purpose trust fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities,
business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts during the current period.
The face amount of the debt issued is reported as other financing resources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported
as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.
K. Fund Balances and Net Position
Fund balance is the difference between the assets and liabilities reported in the governmental funds. In compliance with GASB
Statement No. 54, the City has established the following fund balance classifications:
Non-spendable — The non-spendable fund balance classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are
either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted—The restricted fund balance classification includes amounts that reflect constraints placed on the use of resources
(other than non-spendable items) that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants),
grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions
or enabling legislation.
Committed— The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the City Council. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any
other purpose unless the government removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action (legislation,
resolution, ordinance, etc.) it employed to previously commit those amounts. Committed fund balance should also
incorporate contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources in the fund have been specifically committed for use
in satisfying those contractual requirements.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — continued
K. Fund Balances and Net Position — continued
Assigned— The assigned fund balance classification includes amounts that are constrained by the government's intent to be
used for specific purposes, but that are neither restricted nor committed. Such intent is to be established by (a) the City
Council itself or (b) the City Manager to which the City Council has delegated the authority to assign amounts to be used for
specific purposes.
Unassigned — The unassigned fund balance classification includes amounts that do not fall into one of the above four
categories. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been
restricted, committed, or assigned for specific purposes within the General Fund. The General Fund is the only fund that
should report this category of fund balance. However, other governmental funds may report a negative balance in this
classification if there is an over-spending for specific purposes for which amounts have been restricted, committed, or
assigned.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 63 requires that the difference between assets added to the deferred
outflows of resources and liabilities added to the deferred inflows of resources be reported as net position. Net position is
classified in the following categories:
Net Investment in Capital Assets — Net position that is net investment in capital assets consist of capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation, and reduced by 'outstanding debt directly attributed to the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of the assets.
Restricted Net Position — The restricted net position is the portion of net position that has external constraints placed on it
by external creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, or regulations of other governments, or through constitutional provisions
or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position— The unrestricted net position classification is the amount remaining that does not fall into one of
the above two categories.
When an expenditure is incurred for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available, it is City's policy that the
restricted fund balance be spent first followed by committed, then assigned, and, if applicable, unassigned.
The City has established a formal minimum general fund balance policy of 15% of appropriations, with the goal of maintaining
20% of appropriations.
L. Property Taxes
California Constitution Article XIII A limits the combined property tax rate to one percent of a property's assessed valuation.
Additional taxes may be imposed with voters' approval. Assessed value is calculated at one hundred percent of a property's fair
value, as defined by Article XIII A, and may be increased by no more than two percent per year unless a change in ownership
occurs. The State Legislature has determined the method of distributing the one percent tax levy among the various taxing
jurisdictions.
Property tax revenues are recognized in the fiscal year for which taxes have been levied, and collected within sixty days of fiscal
year end. Property taxes are billed and collected as shown on the following page:

L. Property Taxes — continued
The City has adopted an alternative method of property tax distribution (the "Teeter Plan"). Under this method, the City receives
100% of its secured property tax levied in exchange for foregoing any interest and penalties collected on delinquent taxes. The
City receives payments as a series of advances made by the County throughout the fiscal year. The secured property tax levy is
recognized as revenue upon receipt including the final payment, which generally is received within 60 days of the fiscal year end.
M. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension
expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City's California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) plan
and additions to or deductions from the PERS plan fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are
reported by PERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when
due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
N. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017
NOTE 2 — STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Biennial budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
governmental funds. The two-year budget is legally adopted for all funds by the City Council prior to July 1 of odd years. The City
Manager first submits a preliminary budget in April of the odd year, which includes projected expenditures and the means of financing
them, to the City Council. As modified during public study sessions, the preliminary budget becomes the proposed budget. Following
public hearings on the proposed budget, the final annual budget is adopted by the City Council in June. After adoption of the final
budget, transfers of appropriations within a general fund department, or within other funds, can be made by the City Manager. Budget
modifications to any of the funds, increases or decreases to a fund's overall budget, and all transfers in and out of any funds, must be
approved by the City Council. Numerous properly authorized amendments are made during the fiscal year. Budgetary control is
enhanced by integrating the budget into the general ledger accounts. Encumbrance accounting is employed (e.g., purchase orders)
to avoid expenditures over the budget. Encumbrances outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are automatically budgeted in the
following fiscal year.
NOTE 3 — CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The composition of cash and investments as of June 30, 2017, is as follows:

The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting
principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. 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.
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2017:

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 evenly over time as
necessary to provide the cash flows and liquidity needed for operations. Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the
City's investments to market interest rate fluctuations is provided on the following page that shows the distribution of the City's
investments by maturity:

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 rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum

Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated
by the California Government Code.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not
be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The
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, 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 the City's deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public
deposits. None of the City's deposits with financial institutions in excess of the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation's limits were
held in uncollateralized accounts.
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 investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies
only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government's indirect investment
in securities through the use of mutual funds or governmental investment pools (such as LAIF).

rental housing development located at 351 South Elm Street in the amount of $344,040 provided by the CDBG Fund. The note has a
term of 30-years, with no interest bearing. The total amount of the loan is due at the end of the term.
On August 13, 1996, the City entered into a loan agreement with Oak Forest Association for the purpose of development of a 20-unit
multifamily affordable housing development located at 163 South Elm Street in the amount of $445,000 provided by the CDBG Fund.

On July 25, 2006, the City entered into a loan agreement with the Redevelopment Agency of Arroyo Grande, subsequently the
Successor Agency of the Former Redevelopment Agency of Arroyo Grande, for the purpose of funding the cost of the acquisition of a
vacant lot on the north side of Faeh Street in the amount of $820,130. The loan originally called for interest to be accrued equal to
the rate earned by the City's Local Agency Investment Fund, however, on February 23, 2010, the agreement was amended to no longer
accrue interest. The Department of Finance recognizes loans from Cities to Redevelopment Agencies as "enforceable obligations"
eligible for repayment, under provisions of the loan agreements pursuant to provisions included in Assembly Bill 1484, once the
Successor Agency receives a "Finding of Completion" from the Department of Finance, loan agreements between the Redevelopment
Agency and the City shall be deemed to be enforceable obligations provided that the Oversight Board makes a finding that the loan
was for legitimate redevelopment purposes. On May 14, 2013, the Oversight Board approved the legitimacy of this loan. The total
amount outstanding, including accrued interest at June 30, 2017, was $489,180.
On March 28, 2013, the Redevelopment Agency of Arroyo Grande, subsequently the Successor Agency of the Former Redevelopment
Agency of Arroyo Grande, entered into a loan agreement with Courtland Street Apartments, LP for the construction of a 36-unit

NOTE 9 - WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT
The City has entered into a Water Supply Contract with the San Luis Obispo County Financing Authority (SLOCFA). The SLOCFA was
created on August 15, 2000, to issue bonds for the purpose of financing part or all of the costs of the purchase, construction, expansion,
improvement, or rehabilitation of any real or other tangible property. The SLOCFA issued $28,905,000 ($13,200,000 of General
Obligation Bonds and $15,705,000 Revenue Bonds) of Lopez Dam Improvement Bonds on October 1, 2000. The City is considered a
participating agency of SLOCFA. The City's share of the Water Supply Contract is 50.55%, based upon such participating agency's share
of the quantity of water to be distributed by SLOCFA from the Lopez Dam. The City is obligated to pay for the debt service of SLOCFA
based on their water share, as stated above. The City is further obligated to make contract payments until the fiscal year 2030.
The minimum contract payments only include the City's portion of the Revenue Bonds. The General Obligation Bonds are not included
in the financial statements, because the SLOCFA collects the property tax revenue and makes the payment on behalf of the City.
However, in the event SLOCFA is disbanded, the City will be obligated to continue to pay its share of the remaining debt service.

NOTE 11 — DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
A. General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Descriptions
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City's separate Safety (Police) and
Miscellaneous Employee Pension Plans, cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit plans administered by the California
Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by State statue and City
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 with statutorily reduced benefits. All member
are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death
Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are

Contribution Description—Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer
contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1
following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through the CalPERS' annual actuarial
valuation process. For public agency cost-sharing plans covered by either the Miscellaneous or Safety risk pools, the Plans'
actuarially determined rate is based on the estimated amount necessary to pay the Plan's allocated share of the risk pool's costs
of benefits earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the
difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. Contributions to the pension plan
from the City during the 2016-17 fiscal year were $1,026,700 for the miscellaneous plan and $1,164,873 for the safety plan.
At June 30, 2017, the City reported a liability of $11,174,679 for the miscellaneous plan and $6,045,377 for the safety plan for its
• proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as ofJune 30, 2016 and the total pension
liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as ofJune 30, 2015rolled forward to
June 30, 2016 using standard update procedures. The City's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of
the City's long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all pension plan
participants, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2017, the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Plan as
of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016 was as shown on the following page:

using Society of Actuaries Scale BB. For more details on this table please refer to the 2014 experience study report.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.65 %. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should
be used in the calculation of a discount rate for public agency plans (including PERF C), CalPERS stress tested plans that would be
most likely resulted in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing
of the plans, the tests revealed the assets would not run out. Therefore, the current 7.65 % discount rate is appropriate and the
use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not deemed necessary. The long-term expected discount rate of7.65 % is applied to
all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund, including PERF C. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report
called "GASB Crossover Testing Report" that can be obtained at CalPERS' website under the GASB 68 section.
CalPERS is scheduled to review all actuarial assumptions as part of its regular Asset Liability Management (ALM) review cycle that
is scheduled to be completed in February 2018. Any changes to the discount rate will require Board action and proper stakeholder
outreach. For these reasons, CalPERS expects to continue using a discount rate net of administrative expenses for GASB No. 67
and No. 68 calculations through at least the 2017-18 fiscal year. CalPERS will continue to check the materiality of the difference
in calculation until such time as they have changed their methodology.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-
estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net pension plan investment expense and inflation) are
developed for each major asset class.

B. Pension Liabilities, Deferred Outflows and Inflows, and Pension Expense Related to Pensions — continued
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return
expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds' asset classes, expected
compound returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block
approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits were calculated
for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same
present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The expected rate of
return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of
one percent.
The table on the following page reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated
using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. These geometric rates of return
are net of administrative expenses.

NOTE 12 - POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS (OPEB)
A. Plan Description
The City provides post-retirement health benefits, in accordance with State statutes, to all employees retiring from the City and
enrolled in an insurance program under the California Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). The CalPERS
PEMHCA plan is a defined contribution, multiple employer, and healthcare plan providing benefits to active and retired
employees. The healthcare plan is administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System. Copies of the CalPERS
annual financial report may be obtained from the Executive Office, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
B. Funding Policy
The City participates in the CalPERS Health Benefit Program where all employee groups were under the equal contribution option.
The City was required to contribute $125 per month during calendar year 2016 and $128 per month during calendar year 2017
towards the cost of the retiree health insurance, which is the same amount contributed toward active employee health insurance.
In modifying the current retiree medical agreements, it was agreed that existing employees with a minimum of five (5) years of
full-time service at the time of retirement and new employees with a minimum of ten (10) years of service will receive a
supplemental monthly payment (amount varies depending upon employee group and type of insurance).
The remaining balance of the premium is paid directly by the retirees to CalPERS. The mandatory employer contribution for active
and retiree health insurance is increased annually in accordance with PEMHCA regulation. During fiscal year 2016-17,
expenditures of $134,Ó20 were recognized for post-retirement health insurance contributions on a pay-as-you-go basis.
As required by GASB Statement No. 45, an actuary will determine the City's annual required contributions (ARC) at least once
every three fiscal years. The ARC is calculated in accordance with certain parameters, and includes (1) the normal cost for one
year, and (2) a component for amortization of the total unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) over a period not to exceed
30 years.
GASB Statement No. 45 does not require pre-funding of OPEB benefits, however, the City's funding policy is to pay level
contributions of $200,000 each year. The City has elected not to establish an irrevocable trust at this time but has begun to set
aside funds towards this liability. At June 30, 2017, the City has assigned $403,764 for post employment benefits in the General
Fund's fund balance.
C. Annual OPEB Cost
For the fiscal year 2016-17, the City's OPEB cost (expense) of $563,000 was less than the annual required contributions (ARC) of
$580,000 due to interest on OPEB obligations of $22,000 and the amortization adjustment to ARC of $(39,000). The City's annual
OPEB cost, the annual OPEB cost contributed, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB

C. Annual OPEB Cost (continued)
The funded status of the plan as of June 30, 2017 (the last actuarial calculation), is as follows:
Actuarial accrued liability (AAL) $ 5,590,000
Actuarial value plan assets
Unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) S 5,590,000
Funded ratio (actuarial value of plan assets/AAL) 0%
Covered payroll (active plan members) $ 5,345,000
UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll 105%
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability
of the occurrence of events that are far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and
the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status dthe plan and the annual required contributions
of the employer are' subject to continual revisions as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are
made about the future.
The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the basic financial
statements, presents multiyear trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing
over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
D. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer
and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing
of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include
techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets,
consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
The actuarial valuation of plan assets, dated June 30, 2017, used the Entry Age Normal cost method. The actuarial assumptions
included a 2.85% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses) and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 7.5% for
those not on Medicare and 6.5% for people on Medicare with the rate decreasing slightly in future years. These assumptions
reflect an implicit 2.75% general inflation assumption. The City's unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level
dollar amount on an open basis over 30 years. The remaining amortization period as of June 30, 2017 was 20 years.
NOTE 13 — LIABILITY, WORKERS' COMPENSATION, AND PURCHASED INSURANCE
A. Description of Self-Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Powers Agreement
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Authority). The Authority is composed of 116 California
public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et seq. The
purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance
or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began
covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of
Directors. The Board operates through a nine-member Executive Committee.

NOTE 13 — LIABILITY, PROPERTY, AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION PROTECTION — continued
B. Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. A retrospective adjustment is then conducted
annually thereafter, for coverage years 2012-13 and prior. Retrospective adjustments are scheduled to continue indefinitely on
coverage years 2012-13 and prior, until all claims incurred during those coverage years are closed, on a pool-wide basis. This
subsequent cost re-allocation among members, based on actual claim development, can result in adjustments of either refunds
or additional deposits required. Coverage years 2013-14 and forward are not subject to routine annual retrospective adjustment.
The total funding requirement for self-insurance programs is estimated using actuarial models and pre-funded through the annual
contribution. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on exposure (payroll) and experience (claims) relative to other
members of the risk-sharing pool. Additional information regarding the cost allocation methodology is provided below.
General Liability - In the liability program claims are pooled separately between police and general government exposures. (1)
The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for
each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first
layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $30,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total
incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $30,000 to $750,000 for each
occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from
$750,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
For 2016-17 the Authority's pooled retention is $2 million per occurrence, with reinsurance to $20 million, and excess insurance
to $50 million. The Authority's reinsurance contracts are subject to the following additional pooled retentions: (a) $2.5 million
annual aggregate deductible in the $3 million excess $2 million layer, and (b) $3 million annual aggregate deductible in the $5
million excess $10 million layer. There is a third annual aggregate deductible in the amount of $2.5 million in the $5 million excess
$5 million layer, however it is fully covered under a separate policy and therefore not retained by the Authority.
The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence. Costs of covered claims
for subsidence losses have a sub-limit of $30 million per occurrence.
Workers' Compensation— In the workers' compensation program claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and
fire) and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members.
A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied
to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $50,000.for each occurrence and is evaluated
as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from
$50,000 to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second
layer. (4) Incurred costs from $100,000 to statutory limits are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first
and second loss layers.
For 2016-17 the Authority's pooled retention is $2 million per occurrence, with reinsurance to statutory limits under California
Workers' Compensation Law.
Employer's Liability losses are pooled among members to $2 million. Coverage from $2 million to $5 million is purchased as part
of a reinsurance policy, and Employer's Liability losses from $5 million to $10 million are pooled among members.
C. Purchase Insurance
Property Insurance— The City participates in the all-risk property protection program of the Authority. This insurance protection
is underwritten by several insurance companies. The City is currently insured according to a schedule of covered property
submitted by The City to the Authority. The City property currently has all-risk property insurance protection in the amount of
$26,211,331. There is a $5,000 deductible per occurrence except for non-emergency vehicle insurance which has a $2,500
deductible. Premiums for the coverage are paid annually and are not subject to retrospective adjustments.

During the past three fiscal years, none of the above programs of protection experienced settlements or judgments that exceeded

E. Self-Insurance
The City retains the risk for workers' compensation losses incurred prior to joining the Cal JPIA. Several member agencies of the
now dissolved Central Coast Cities Self-Insurance Fund continue to participate in a non-risk sharing arrangement for claims
management and the purchase of excess insurance. The participating agencies share a set of common guidelines and annually
set aside premiums to pay their individual losses within their self-insured retentions. Losses are debited and investment income
is credited to specific member accounts. The City has not incurred any losses in excess of insurance coverage. Claims liabilities in
the governmental funds are generally liquidated by the General Fund.
The last actuarial study to determine the undiscounted outstanding claims liability was completed for the year ended June 30,
2015. The liability was estimated based on the actuarial study and considered claims asserted and paid, and the time limitation
for filing claims. There are no amounts estimated for claims incurred but not reported because the time limit for filing claims has
. elapsed. The estimated asset (liability) at June 30, 2017 and the changes in those balances are shown below:
Cash, investments and current assets 71,541
Estimated claims liability (105,789)

NOTE 14 — REVENUE LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 218
Proposition 218, which was approved by the voters in November 1996, will regulate the City's ability to impose, increase, and extend
taxes, assessments, and fees. Any new, increased, or extended taxes, assessments, and fees subject to the provisions of Proposition
218, require voters' approval before they can be implemented. Additionally, Proposition 218 provides that these taxes, assessments,
and fees are subject to the voters' initiative process and may be rescinded in the future years by the voters.
NOTE 15 —SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF THE FORMER ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (the Bill) that provides for the dissolution of all
redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action impacted the reporting entity of the City that previously had reported
a redevelopment agency (RDA) within the reporting entity of the City as a blended component unit.
The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the City or another unit of local government will agree to
serve as the "successor agency" to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of State and local government. On January
10, 2012, the City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for the former redevelopment agency in accordance with the Bill
as part of the City Resolution No. 4420.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 15 — SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF THE FORMER ARROYO GRANDE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY — continued
After the enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into
new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only
be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that
were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).
In future years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual
installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior
redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
The Bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment
agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually
committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, the State Controller is required to order the available
assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill.
Management believes, in consultation with legal counsel, that the obligations of the former redevelopment agency due to the City are
valid enforceable obligations payable by the successor agency trust under the requirements of the Bill. The City's position on this issue
is not a position of settled law and there is considerable legal uncertainty regarding this issue. It is reasonably possible that a legal
determination may be made at a later date by appropriate judicial authority that would resolve this issue unfavorably to the City.
A. Financial Reporting
In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011) all
redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as a legal entity as of February 1, 2012.
As a result, the assets and activities of the dissolved redevelopment agency are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust
fund) in the financial statements of the City.
B. Cash and Investments
The RDA has pooled its cash and investments with the City in order to achieve a higher return on investment. Certain restricted
funds, which are held and invested by independent outside custodians through contractual agreements, are not pooled. These
restricted funds include cash with fiscal agents. See Note 3 for disclosure related to cash and investments pooled with the City
and the related custodial risk categorization.
Cash and investments at June 30, 2017, consisted of the following:
Total
Cash and investments pooled with the City $ 735,915
Restricted cash and investments held with fiscal agent 457,375
Total $ 1,193,290
C. Inventory — Land Held for Resale
On August 11, 2006, the RDA purchased a vacant lot at the corner of Faeh Street and El Camino Real in the amount of $825,129.
The RDA purchased the property because the location is a key site to the City's economic development strategy and goals and
didn't want the property to be sold as individual lots.
On June 22, 2010, the RDA transferred $980,000 to the General Fund, in exchange for land located on Pearwood Ave in which the
City purchased for approximately $35,799. The proposed sale and purchase price is based upon an appraisal conducted at the
time the project was proposed.
The RDA is currently holding both properties for resale. Inventory is valued at cost which approximates fair value.

D. Notes Receivable
On January 11, 2005, the RDA entered into a loan agreement with the Family Care Networks, Inc. for the acquisition and
development of property at 201 South 'Halcyon Road to be used for affordable housing for low and very low income households
in the amount of $50,000. The term of the loan agreement is 55 years and will be considered paid in full as long as the units are
maintained as affordable housing.
On December 9, 2008, the RDA entered into a purchase agreement with the Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo and
purchased property utilizing low and moderate set-aside funds. The property was then sold to the Housing Authority for $285,000
in cash, plus $55,500 as a note receivable. This note is to be repaid when the property is sold.
On December 14, 2010, the RDA entered into a loan agreement with Habitat for Humanity of San Luis Obispo County (Habitat for
Humanity) and purchased property utilizing low and moderate set-aside funds in the amount of $260,000. Under the terms of the
agreement, as long as each home is sold to a qualified homebuyer (as defined in the agreement), a portion of the outstanding
balance of the loan shall be forgiven.
On March 28, 2013, the RDA entered into a loan agreement with Courtland Street Apartments, LP for the construction of a 36-
unit affordable housing rental project and related improvements on the property located on the corner of Grand Avenue and
Courtla.nd Avenue in the amount* of $930,000 utilizing low and moderate set-aside funds. The term of the loan agreement is 55
years with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance at the rate of 3% per annum. Repayment of the loan began on
March 1, 2015. Total amount outstanding, including accrued interest at June 30, 2017, was $941,399.
E. Loans Payable
On July 25, 2006, the City entered into a loan agreement with the RDA for the purpose of funding the cost of the acquisition of a
vacant lot on the north side of Faeh Street in the amount of $820,130. The loan originally called for interest to be accrued equal
to the rate earned by the City's Local Agency Investment Fund, however, on February 23, 2010, the agreement was amended to
no longer accrue interest. The Department of Finance recognizes loans from Cities to Redevelopment Agencies as "enforceable
obligations" eligible for repayment, under provisions of the loan agreements pursuant to provisions included in Assembly Bill
1484, once the Successor Agency receives a "Finding of Completion" from the Department of Finance, loan agreements between
the RDA and the City shall be deemed to be enforceable obligations provided that the Oversight Board makes a finding that the
loan was for legitimate redevelopment purposes. On May 14, 2013, the Oversight Board approved the legitimacy of this loan.
The total amount outstanding, including accrued interest at June 30, 2017, was $489,180.
F. Tax Allocation Bonds Payable
On May 1, 2007, the RDA issued $6,285,000 of 2007 tax allocation bonds. The purpose of the tax allocation bonds were to repay
debt and to provide funds for future improvement projects. The bonds bear an interest rate of 5.304% for a term bond of
$1,280,000, maturing on September 1, 2019, and an interest rate of 5.800% for a term bond of $5,005,000, maturing on
September 1, 2037. As of June 30, 2017, the principal balance outstanding was $5,450,000.
The future minimum payment obligation for the tax allocation bonds payable is as follows:

The City is involved in various litigations. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, the disposition of all litigation pending will
not have a material effect on the City's financial statements.
The City has received State and Federal funds for specific purposes that are subject to review and audit by the grantor agencies.
Although such audits could generate expenditure disallowances under the term of the grants, it is believed that any required
reimbursement will not be material.

Section 43605 of California Government Code establishes a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed valuation for municipalities. However,
this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was established based on 25% of market value. Effective with FY 1981-82, taxable
property is assessed at 100% of market value. Although the debt limit provision has not been amended by the State since this change, the
percentage has been proportionately modified to 3.75% for the purposes of this calculation for consistency with the original intent of the
State’s limit.
