INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Independent Auditors Report To Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Palm Desert, California
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OPINIONS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Palm
Desert, California (hereafter, the “City”), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in
financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of
the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our
other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events,
considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve
months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt
shortly thereafter.
21
To Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Palm Desert, California
Palm Desert, California
AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial
likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on
the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test
basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise
substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the
audit.
REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and
analysis, budgetary comparison information, and required pension and other post-employment benefits schedules as
listed on the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial
statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to
the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an
opinion or provide any assurance.
22
To Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Palm Desert, California
Palm Desert, California
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the
City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules
(supplementary information) are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
OTHER INFORMATION
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the
introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or
any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and
consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the
other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an
uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 30, 2026, on our
consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe
the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not
to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City’s
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Statement of Net Position
CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA
Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Net Position
June 30, 2025
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position
are different because:
Total fund balances - governmental funds $ 350,725,920
Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization, used in
governmental activities are not financial resources and, therefore, are not
reported in the funds. 426,584,364
Differences between expected and actual experiences, assumption
changes and net differences between projected and actual earnings, and
contributions subsequent to the measurement date for the postretirement
benefits (pension and OPEB) are recognized as deferred outflows of
resources and deferred inflows of resources on the Statement of Net
Position.
Deferred outflows-pension related $ 10,045,197
Deferred outflows-OPEB related 4,837,981
Deferred inflows-OPEB related (777,125)
Total deferred outflows and inflows related to postemployment benefits 14,106,053
Other long-term assets that are not available to pay for current period
expenditures and, therefore, are either labeled unavailable or not reported
in the funds.
Long-term receivables 3,681,054
Total other long-term assets 3,681,054
Internal service funds provide services to other funds on a cost-
reimbursement basis. The assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities,
and deferred inflows of resources of the internal service funds are included
in governmental activities in the Statement of Activities. 11,697,227
Long-term liabilities that are not due and payable in the current period, and
therefore, are not reported in the funds.
Bonds payable (995,000)
Notes payable (841,671)
Leases and SBITA payable (2,381,500)
Accrued interest payable on long-term debt (8,494)
Net pension liability (42,151,310)
Net OPEB liability (2,526,627)
Total long-term liabilities (48,904,602)

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in
Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are
different because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds: $ 4,152,512
Governmental funds report capital outlays are expenditures. However, in the
Statement of Activities, the cost of these assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation/amortization expense.
This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation/
amortization expense in the current period.
Capital outlay $ 16,450,140
Depreciation/amortization expense (11,662,520)
Total adjustment 4,787,620
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.
Earned but unavailable grant revenues 809,755
Total adjustment 809,755
Bond and other debt proceeds provide current financial resources to
governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the
Statement of Net Position. Repayment of bond and other debt principal is an
expenditure in the governmental funds, but repayment reduces long-term
liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Also, governmental funds report the
effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued,
whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the Statement of
Activities.
Net change in claims and judgments for the current period 2,833,669
Subscriptions and leases issued (670,410)
Principal payments 619,245
Total adjustment 2,782,504
Internal service funds provide services to other funds on a cost-
reimbursement basis. The net revenue of certain activities of internal service
funds is reported with governmental activities. 3,066,334
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use
of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures
in the governmental funds.
Accrued interest on long-term debt 47,544
Changes in pension liabilities and related deferred outflows and inflows of
resources (1,841,182)
Changes in OPEB liabilities and related deferred outflows and inflows of
resources (1,408,307)
Total adjustment (3,201,945)
Change in net position of governmental activities $ 12,396,780

For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Description of The Reporting Entity
The City of Palm Desert was originally incorporated on November 26, 1973, as a General Law City. In December
1997, Measure LL was enacted following a vote by Palm Desert residents, which adopted a City Charter. The City
operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services: public safety (police
and fire), highways and streets, public improvements, community development (planning, building and zoning)
and general administrative services.
The City has defined its reporting entity in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America which provides guidance for determining which governmental activities, organizations and
functions should be included in the reporting entity. The Basic Financial Statements present information on the
activities of the reporting entity, which include the City of Palm Desert (the primary government) and its
component units, entities for which the government is considered financially accountable.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the component units be
separated into blended or discretely presented units for reporting purposes. The following criteria were used in
determination of blended component units: appointment of the governing board and fiscal dependence. Although
legally separate entities, blended component units are, in substance, part of the City’s operations. Therefore, they
are reported as part of the primary government. Discretely presented component units are reported in a separate
column in the basic financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the City.
Blended Component Units
Following are descriptions of legally separate component units for which the City is financially accountable that
are blended with the Primary Government. The governing bodies of these component units are substantially the
same with operational responsibility as the City and provides a financial benefit.
The Palm Desert Housing Authority (Housing Authority) was established by the City Council in January 1998, and
is responsible for the administration of providing affordable housing in the City. The Housing Authority transactions
are reported in the governmental funds balance sheet as a major fund.
The Palm Desert Financing Authority (Financing Authority) was formed on January 26, 1989. The purpose of the
Financing Authority is to issue debt and loan the proceeds to the City and Agency. The Financing Authority’s
capital related transactions are reported in the governmental fund financial statements in the capital projects
funds, and the collection of assessments and payments of debt service is recorded in the fiduciary funds.
The City Council of Palm Desert is the governing body for the Housing Authority and Financing Authority.
Separate financial statements are not issued for the Housing Authority and Financing Authority.
Discretely Presented Component Unit
The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation (Corporation) was incorporated on February 25, 1997. The
purpose of the Corporation is to lease, operate and manage a restaurant and bar in the Desert Willow Golf
Course in Palm Desert, California. The Board of Directors of the Corporation appoints an executive director to
administer operations.
The Corporation is in a separate column to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City and is financially
accountable to the City. The two-member board governing the Corporation is appointed by the City Council, the
City has authority to approve the Corporation’s budget, and the City must approve any debt issued.
Complete financial statements of the Corporation can be obtained from the City’s administrative offices.

B. Basis of Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities)
report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the
most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Interfund services provided
and used are not eliminated in the process of consolidation. Governmental activities, which normally are
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which
rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported
separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially
accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct and indirect expenses of a given function
or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific
function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or
directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general
revenues. Expenses reported for functional activities include allocated indirect expenses.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even
though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental
funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Fund Financial Statements
The accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of which is
considered to be a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that constitute its assets, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and
expenditures/expenses. Funds are organized into three major categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.
An emphasis is placed on major funds within the governmental and proprietary categories.
A fund is considered major if it is the primary operation fund of the City or meets the following criteria:
a. Total assets plus deferred outflows of resources, liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources, revenues or
expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10% of the
corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and;
b. Total assets plus deferred outflows of resources, liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources, revenues or
expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund or enterprise fund are at least 5% of the
corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined; and;
c. The government has determined that a fund is important to the financial statement user.
The funds of the financial reporting entity are described below:
Governmental Fund Types
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
resources (other than major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the
payment of, general long-term obligation principal, interest and related costs.
Capital Projects Funds - Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
Proprietary Fund Types
Enterprise Funds - The Enterprise Funds account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner
similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the City Council is that the costs (expenses including
depreciation) of providing goods and services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered
primarily through user charges.
The Primary Government’s Enterprise funds consist of the Parkview Office Complex and the Desert Willow Golf
Course. Desert Willow Golf Course is operated by a management company. The discretely presented Component
Unit’s fund consists of the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation, also operated by a management
company.
Internal Service Funds - The Internal Service Funds account for financial transactions related to replacement of
City-owned vehicles and equipment and to fund compensated absences. These services are provided to other
departments or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Fund Types
Private-Purpose Trust Fund
The Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund is used to account
for the activities of the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency.
Custodial Funds
The Custodial, Special Assessment and Treasurers 1911 Bond Act Funds are used to account for assets held by
the City in a custodial capacity as a trustee. These assets include deposits placed with the City by individuals, as
well as deposits from assessment district’s property owners. These deposits are reduced by payments to
individuals.
The City’s Retiree Service Stipend Fund is used to account for assets held to pay for the retiree service stipend.
The Treasures 1991 Bond Act Fund is used to account for assets held for the Bond Act.
The major funds are as follows:
Governmental Funds
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except
those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Prop A Fire Tax Special Revenue Fund is used to account for all revenues derived from tax collected within
the City for upgrading fire protection and prevention. Its use is restricted to obtaining, furnishing, operating and
maintaining fire protection and prevention services (currently under contract with Riverside County Fire
Department) equipment or apparatus. This fund is reported as a major fund because the tax collected is a voter
approved measure.
The Housing Asset Special Revenue Fund is used to account for any funds generated from housing assets of the
former Redevelopment Agency to be used for projects that benefit low and moderate income families.

The Housing Authority Special Revenue Fund is used to account for revenues and expenditures related to rental
units owned by the Housing Authority, established in January 1998. This fund is determined to be important to the
users of the financial statements and determined to be a major fund.
The Restricted Capital Project Fund is used to account for the cost of city owned properties that will either be sold
or for the construction of public facilities, and the proceeds of bond funds for capital related properties.
Proprietary Fund
The Parkview Office Complex Fund is used to account for rent received from the City owned office complex.
The Desert Willow Golf Course Fund is used to account for the fees collected and expenses incurred in
connection with operating the municipal golf course in the City of Palm Desert.
C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recorded within the various financial
statements. Basis of accounting refers to when transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus
applied.
On the government-wide Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, both governmental and
business-like activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. The accounting
objectives of the economic measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in net position
(or cost recovery), financial position and cash flows. All assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported.
In the fund financial statements, the “current financial resources” measurement focus or the “economic resources”
measurement focus is used as appropriate:
1. All governmental funds utilize a “current financial resources” measurement focus. Only current financial
assets, deferred outflows of resources, current liabilities and deferred inflows of resources are generally
included on their balance sheets. Their operating statements present sources and uses of available
spendable financial resources during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their measure of
available spendable financial resources at the end of the period.
2. The proprietary fund and private purpose trust fund and custodial funds utilize an “economic resources”
measurement focus. Proprietary fund and private purpose trust fund equity and custodial funds are classified
as net position.
Basis of Accounting
In the government-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, both governmental and business-
like activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting,
revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, or economic
asset used.
Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions
are recognized when the exchange takes place.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Under this modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when “measurable and available.”
Measurable means knowing or being able to reasonably estimate the amount. Available means collectible within
the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities.

CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenues that are susceptible to accrual include property taxes and special assessments that are levied for and
due for the fiscal year and collected within 60 days after year-end. Licenses, permits, fines, forfeits, charges for
services and miscellaneous revenues are recorded as governmental fund type revenues when received in cash
because they are not generally measurable until actually received. Revenue from taxpayer assessed taxes, such
as sales taxes, are recognized in the accounting period in which they became both measurable and available to
pay liabilities of the current period. Grants and similar items are recognized as soon as all eligibility requirements
imposed by the provider have been met. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under
accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures as well as expenditures related to compensated
absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Interfund activity has been eliminated from the general government function for the government-wide financial
statements except for charges between the government’s Desert Willow Golf Course and Parkview Office
Complex funds and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the
direct costs and program revenues for the various functions considered.
The accrual basis of accounting is followed by the proprietary fund and private purpose trust fund. Under the
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability
is incurred, or economic assets are used.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues
and expenses generally result from providing goods and services in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal
ongoing operations. The principal revenue of the Desert Willow Golf Course and Parkview Office Complex
Enterprise Funds are charges to customers for use of the golf course and rental fees. Operating expenses for
enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital
assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and
expenses.
D. Appropriations Limit
Under Article XIII-B of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), the City is restricted as
to the amount of annual appropriations from the proceeds of taxes, and if proceeds of taxes exceed allowed
appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the State Controller or returned to the taxpayers through
revised tax rates, revised fee schedules or other refund arrangements. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025,
proceeds of taxes did not exceed appropriations.
E. Cash and Investments
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City has defined cash and investments to include cash on hand,
demand deposits, investments held in various instruments, and investments held in the California Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF), California Asset Management Program (CAMP) and Riverside County Treasurer’s
Pooled Investment Fund.
F. Investments
Investments are reported in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. Fair value is the price that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income
reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or
losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.

G. Property Held for Resale
The land held for resale is recorded in the Housing Asset Fund as property held for resale at the lower of cost or
market. At June 30, 2025, the cost of the property held for resale for various housing properties in Palm Desert
totaled $61,516.
H. Capital Assets and Depreciation
Capital assets, which include property, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, traffic signals, drainage
systems and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities column in the
government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an initial cost above
the amounts described in the table below and an estimated life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at
historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at
acquisition value at the date of donation.
The City has reported general infrastructure assets acquired in prior and current years.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset
lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line
method over the following estimated useful lives:
Asset Type
Capitalization
Threshold Useful Life

Depreciation?
Land $ -Infinite No
Buildings $ 100,000 20-50 Years Yes

I. Inventories, Prepaid Costs and Deposits
Inventory in the amount of $352,900 and $55,502, for the Desert Willow Golf Course Enterprise Fund (Primary
Government) and Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation (Component Unit), respectively, are reported at
lower of cost or market. These inventories are held for resale.
Inventory in the amount of $14,825 in the Governmental Funds are also reported at lower of cost or market.
Inventory and prepaid costs are recorded as an expenditure when consumed rather than purchased.
Certain payments to vendors that reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid
costs in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

J. Property Tax Calendar
Property taxes are assessed and collected each fiscal year according to the following property tax calendar:
Lien date: January 1
Levy date: July 1 to June 30
Due date: November 1 - 1st Installment
March 1 - 2nd Installment
Delinquent date: December 10 - 1st Installment
April 10 - 2nd Installment
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1% of assessed value, plus
other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool and are then allocated to the cities
based on complex formulas prescribed by state statutes. The City accrues only those taxes, which are received
within 60 days after the year-end. The City is a participant in the Teeter Plan under the California Revenue and
Taxation Code. The County of Riverside has responsibility for the collection of delinquent taxes and the City
receives 100% of the levy.
K. Leases
Lessee
The City is a lessee for a noncancellable lease of buildings and equipment. The City recognizes a lease liability
and an intangible right-to-use lease asset (lease asset) in the government-wide financial statements. The City
recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $10,000 or more.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments
expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of
lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for
lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently,
the lease asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Key estimates and judgments related to
leases include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to
present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments.
• The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by
the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount
rate for leases.
• The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the
measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the City is
reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure
the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the
lease liability.
Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the
statement of net position.
Lessor
The City is a lessor for several noncancellable lease of a building. The City recognizes a lease receivable and a
deferred inflow of resources in the government-wide and governmental fund financial statements.

At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of
payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the
principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial
amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date.
Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.
Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the
expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts.
• The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
• The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the measurement
of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease, and will remeasure
the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly
affect the amount of the lease receivable.
L. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements
The City is a subscriber for several noncancellable subscription of information technology services. The City
recognizes a subscription liability and an intangible right-to-use subscription asset (subscription asset) in the
government-wide financial statements. The City recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of
$5,000 or more.
At the commencement of a subscription, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of
payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the subscription liability is reduced by
the principal portion of subscription payments made. The subscription asset is initially measured as the initial
amount of the subscription liability, adjusted for subscription payments made at or before the subscription
commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the subscription asset is amortized on a
straight-line basis over its useful life. Key estimates and judgments related to subscriptions include how the City
determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected subscription payments to present value, (2)
lease term, and (3) subscription payments.
• The City uses the interest rate charged by the vendor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by
the vendor is not provided, the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount
rate for subscriptions.
• The subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the subscription. Subscription payments included
in the measurement of the subscription liability are composed of fixed payments that the City is reasonably
certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its subscriptions and will
remeasure the subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the
amount of the subscription liability.
Subscription assets are reported with other capital assets and subscription liabilities are reported with long-term
debt on the statement of net position.

M. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes
report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred
outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods and so will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time. The City has the following items that
qualify for reporting in this category:
• Deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB. This amount is equal to employer contributions made after
the measurement date of the net pension liability and net OPEB liability/(asset).
• Deferred outflows related to pensions and OPEB resulting from the difference in projected and actual
earnings on investments of the pension plan and OPEB fiduciary net position. These amounts are amortized
over five years.
• Deferred outflows of resources related to pensions and OPEB arising from a change in assumptions and
differences between expected and actual experience. These amounts are amortized over a closed period
equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions
and OPEB through the plan.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet will sometimes
report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred
inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods and will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has the following items that qualify for
reporting in this category:
• Deferred amount on refunding. A deferred amount on refunding results from the difference in the carrying
value of the refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter
of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
• Deferred inflows from unavailable revenue, which arises under a modified accrual basis of accounting is
reported only in the governmental fund balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues
from the following sources: rent, investment income, grants, notes receivables collections and
reimbursements. These amounts are unavailable and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that
the amounts become available.
• Deferred inflows related to pensions and OPEB for differences between expected and actual experience.
These amounts are amortized over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service
lives of all employees that are provided with pensions and OPEB through the plan.
• Deferred inflows from OPEB resulting from changes in assumptions. These amounts are amortized over a
closed period equal to the average expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with
OPEB through the plan.
• Deferred inflows from lease related items for the amount of the lease receivable plus any lease payments
related to future periods, less any lease incentives paid to, or on behalf of, the lessee at or before the
commencement of the lease term.

N. Compensated Absences
The City recognizes a liability for compensated absences for leave time that (1) has been earned for services
previously rendered by employees, (2) accumulates and is allowed to be carried over to subsequent years, and
(3) is more likely than not to be used as time off or settled (for example paid in cash to the employee or payment
to an employee flex spending account) during or upon separation from employment. Based on the criteria listed,
two types of leave qualify for liability recognition for compensated absences – vacation and sick leave. The liability
for compensated absences is reported as incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements. A liability for compensated absences is recorded in the governmental funds only if the liability has
matured because of employee resignations or retirements. The liability for compensated absences includes
salary-related benefits, where applicable.
Vacation
The City’s policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation benefits, which are eligible for
payment at the employee’s current pay rate upon separation from employment.
Sick Leave
The City’s policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused sick leave. All sick leave lapses when
employees leave the employ of the City and, upon separation from service, no monetary obligation exists.
However, a liability for estimated value of sick leave that will be used by employees as time off is included in the
liability for compensated absences."
O. 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 District’s California Public Employees’
Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position
have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. 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.
GASB Statement No. 68 requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within
certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used.
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Measurement Period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
P. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to OPEB, and the OPEB expense have been determined by an independent actuary. For this
purpose, benefit payments are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset
information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:

Q. Fund Balance
The fund balances reported on the fund statements now consist of the following categories
• Nonspendable - This 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 - This classification includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by
constitution, external resource providers or through enabling legislation.
• Committed - This classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined
by a formal action of the City Council. The City considers the adoption of a resolution to institute a formal
action of City Council for the purpose of establishing, modifying or rescinding committed fund balances.
• Assigned - This classification includes amounts to be used by the government for specific purposes but do
not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. This includes amounts that are assigned
through adoption of a resolution by City Council. The Council may delegate the ability of an employee or
committee to assign uses of specific funds, for specific purposes. Such delegation of authority occurred on
September 27th, 2018 and will be in effect for future fiscal years.
• Unassigned - This classification includes the residual balance for the government’s general fund and includes
all spendable amounts not contained in other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned classification is
used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had
been restricted, committed or assigned.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balances are
available, the City’s policy is to apply restricted fund balance first. When an expenditure is incurred for purposes
for which committed, assigned or unassigned fund balances are available, the City’s policy is to apply committed
fund balance first, then assigned fund balance, and finally unassigned fund balance.
R. Net Position
For government-wide reporting as well as in proprietary funds, the difference between assets and deferred
outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources is called net position. Net position is
comprised of three components: net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted.
• Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization and
reduced by outstanding balances of bonds, notes, and other debt that are attributable to the acquisition,
construction, or improvement of those assets. Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets or related debt
are included in this component of net position.
• Restricted net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources
related to those assets. Assets are reported as restricted when constraints are placed on asset use either by
external parties or by law through constitutional provision or enabling legislation.
• Unrestricted net position is the net amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and
deferred inflows of resources that does not meet the definition of the two preceding categories.
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant
proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and
unrestricted net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption
must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to
consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.

S. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of debt issues, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as
restricted assets on the balance sheet because they are maintained in separate trustee bank accounts and their

improvements by City resolution.
T. New and Upcoming GASB Pronouncements Effective During Fiscal Year
New Pronouncements
The requirements of the following accounting standards are effective for the purpose of implementation, if
applicable to the City, for the year ended June 30, 2025. The financial statements included herein apply the
requirements and provisions of these statements, including necessary retroactive adjustments to financial
statement classifications and presentations.
The City is currently analyzing its accounting practices to determine the potential impact on the financial
statements for the following GASB statements:
GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by implementing a unified recognition and
measurement model that will result in a liability for compensated absences that more appropriately reflects when
a government incurs an obligation. Establishing the unified model will result in consistent application to any type of
compensated absence and will eliminate potential comparability issues between governments that offer different
types of leave. This Statement will also result in a more robust estimate of the amount of compensated absences
that a government will pay or settle, which will enhance the relevance and reliability of information about the
liability for compensated absences. See Note 18 for details on restatements related to this pronouncement.
GASB Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by providing users of financial statements with
essential information that currently is not often provided. The disclosures will provide users with timely information
regarding certain concentrations or constraints and related events that have occurred or have begun to occur that
make a government vulnerable to a substantial impact. As a result, users will have better information with which to
understand and anticipate certain risks to a government’s financial condition.
Management has assessed the impact of this Statement on the City's financial statements and determined that it
did not have a material impact.
Upcoming Pronouncements
GASB Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements
The requirements of this Statement will improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its
effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government’s
accountability.
The Statement requires that the information presented in MD&A be limited to the related topics discussed in five
sections: (1) Overview of the Financial Statements, (2) Financial Summary, (3) Detailed Analyses, (4) Significant
Capital Asset and Long-Term Financing Activity, and (5) Currently Known Facts, Decisions, or Conditions.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
This Statement describes unusual or infrequent items as transactions and other events that are either unusual in
nature or infrequent in occurrence. Furthermore, governments are required to display the inflows and outflows
related to each unusual or infrequent item separately as the last presented flow(s) of resources prior to the net
change in resource flows in the government-wide, governmental fund, and proprietary fund statements of
resource flows.
This Statement also requires that the proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net
position continue to distinguish between operating and nonoperating revenues and expenses. Operating revenues
and expenses are defined as revenues and expenses other than nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Nonoperating revenues and expenses are defined as (1) subsidies received and provided, (2) contributions to
permanent and term endowments, (3) revenues and expenses related to financing, (4) resources from the
disposal of capital assets and inventory, and (5) investment income and expenses. In addition to the subtotals
currently required in a proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position, this
Statement requires that a subtotal for operating income (loss) and noncapital subsidies be presented before
reporting other nonoperating revenues and expenses.
This Statement requires governments to present each major component unit separately in the reporting entity’s
statement of net position and statement of activities if it does not reduce the readability of the statements. If the
readability of those statements would be reduced, combining statements of major component units should be
presented after the fund financial statements.
This Statement requires governments to present budgetary comparison information using a single method of
communication—RSI. Governments also are required to present (1) variances between original and final budget
amounts and (2) variances between final budget and actual amounts. An explanation of significant variances is
required to be presented in notes to RSI.
The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025, and all reporting
periods thereafter.
GASB Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets
The requirements of this statement will provide users of government financial statements with essential
information about certain types of capital assets. This Statement requires certain types of capital assets to be
disclosed separately in the capital assets note disclosures required by Statement 34. Lease assets recognized in
accordance with Statement No. 87, Leases, and intangible right-to-use assets recognized in accordance with
Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements, should
be disclosed separately by major class of underlying asset in the capital assets note disclosures. Subscription
assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology
Arrangements, also should be separately disclosed. In addition, this Statement requires intangible assets other
than those three types to be disclosed separately by major class.
This Statement also requires additional disclosures for capital assets held for sale. A capital asset is a capital
asset held for sale if (a) the government has decided to pursue the sale of the capital asset and (b) it is probable
that the sale will be finalized within one year of the financial statement date. This Statement requires that capital
assets held for sale be evaluated each reporting period. Governments should disclose (1) the ending balance of
capital assets held for sale, with separate disclosure for historical cost and accumulated depreciation by major
class of asset, and (2) the carrying amount of debt for which the capital assets held for sale are pledged as
collateral for each major class of asset.
The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025, and all reporting
periods thereafter.

The City of Palm Desert maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use for all funds. Each fund
type’s position in the pool is reported on the combined balance sheet as cash and investments. The City has
adopted an investment policy, which authorizes it to invest in various investments.
A. Deposits
At June 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the deposits was $13,573,175, and the bank balance was $6,357,188.
The $7,215,987 difference represents outstanding checks, deposits in transit and other reconciling items.
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure an
Entity’s deposits by pledging government securities with a value of 110% of an Entity’s deposits. California law
also allows financial institutions to secure deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of
150% of total deposits. The City Treasurer may waive the collateral requirement for deposits that are fully insured
up to $250,000 by the FDIC. The collateral for deposits in federal and state-chartered banks is held in
safekeeping by an authorized Agent of Depository recognized by the State of California Department of Banking.
The collateral for deposits with savings and loan associations is generally held in safekeeping by the Federal
Home Loan Bank in San Francisco, California as an Agent of Depository. These securities are physically held in
an undivided pool for all California public agency depositors.
Under Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a bank or savings and loan association
with an Agent of Depository has the effect of perfecting the security interest in the name of the local governmental
agency. Accordingly, all collateral held by California Agents of Depository are considered to be held for, and in the
name of, the local governmental agency.

The City Treasurer is authorized under state and municipal law to invest in various types of securities that meet
specified credit quality standards, based upon credit risk ratings assigned by Standard and Poors (S&P), Fitch, or
by Moody’s Investor Services (Moody’s). Permissible City investments include medium-term notes that are rated
“A” or higher at time of purchase; commercial paper that is rated “A-1” or the equivalent; money market mutual
funds that are rated “AAA”; and United States Government and Federal Agency securities (the quality of United
States Treasury securities is not analyzed since they are not deemed to have credit risk).
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the
investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required, when applicable, by the California Government
Code, the City’s investment policy, or debt agreements, and the rating by Standard and Poor’s, Fitch and Moody’s
as of year-end for each investment type.

Custodial Credit Risk
The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a
government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the
possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for the investments is the risk that, in the event of the
failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.
As of June 30, 2025, none of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City’s investment policy imposes restrictions on the percentage the City can invest in certain types of
investments, which the City is in compliance. As of June 30, 2025, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 40, if
the City has invested more than 10% of its total investments in any one issuer then they are exposed to
concentration of credit risk. The City is not invested in any one issuer that is more than 10% of its total
investments.

The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California
Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of
the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the
City’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized
cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by
LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
Investment in California Asset Management Program
The California Asset Management Program (CAMP) is a public joint powers authority which provides California
Public Agencies with investment management services for surplus funds and comprehensive investment
management, accounting and arbitrage rebate calculation services for proceeds of tax-exempt financings. The
CAMP currently offers the Cash Reserve Portfolio, a short-term investment portfolio, as a means for Public
Agencies to invest these funds. Public Agencies that invest in the Pool (Participants) purchase shares of
beneficial interest.
Participants may also establish individual, professionally managed investment accounts (Individual Portfolios) by
separate agreement with the Investment Advisor.
Investments in the Pools and Individual Portfolios are made only in investments in which Public Agencies
generally are permitted by California statute. The CAMP may reject any investment and may limit the size of a
Participant’s account. The Pool seeks to maintain, but does not guarantee, a constant net asset value of $1 per
share. A Participant may withdraw funds from its Pool accounts at any time by check or wire transfers. Requests
for same-day wire transfers must be made by 11:00 a.m. that day. Fair value of the Pool is determined by the fair
value per share of the Pool’s underlying portfolio.
Investment in Riverside County Treasurer’s Pooled Investment Fund
The City is a voluntary participant in the Riverside County Treasurer’s Pooled Investment Fund (Pooled Fund).
The fair value of the City’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at
amounts based upon the City’s pro-rata share of the fair value that the Riverside County Treasurer’s Office has
provided for the entire Pooled Fund (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for
withdrawal is based upon the accounting records that the Riverside County Treasurer’s Office maintains, which
are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the relative inputs used to measure the fair value of the
investments. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets
that the City has the ability to access.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
• Quoted prices for similar assets in active markets;
• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets;
• Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset;
• Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other
means.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Unobservable inputs reflect the City’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use
in pricing the asset (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs are developed based on
the best information available in the circumstances and may include the City’s own data.
74
CITY OF PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
The asset’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs.
The determination of what constitutes observable requires judgment by the City’s management. City management
considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated,
reliable, and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by multiple independent sources that are actively involved in
the relevant market.
The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of the inputs to its
fair value measurement and does not necessarily correspond to City management’s perceived risk of that
investment.
The methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or
reflective of future fair values. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of
certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
When available, quoted prices are used to determine fair value. When quoted prices in active markets are
available, investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When quoted prices in active
markets are not available, fair values are based on evaluated prices received by City’s asset manager from third
party service provider.
The following is a description of the recurring valuation methods and assumptions used by the City to estimate the
fair value of its investments.
For a large portion of the City’s portfolio, the City’s custodian applies their leveling methodology across all
securities in a specific sector (i.e. U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities). Inputs to their pricing models
are based on observable market inputs in active markets.
The Successor Agency Former RDA’s investment in City bonds is not tradable and is categorized in Level 3.
When valuing Level 3 securities, the inputs or methodology are not necessarily an indication of the risks
associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of
an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

NOTE 3 - NOTES AND LOANS RECEIVABLE
A. Notes Receivable
On August 8, 2006, the City of Palm Desert issued $3,165,000 of Limited Obligation Bonds. The proceeds of the
Bonds were used to finance the construction of the utility undergrounding and pay the cost of issuance. The debt
service on the bonds is to be paid by assessments secured on the property tax rolls of those properties benefiting
from the improvements. Bond maturities began September 2, 2007, and continue annually through 2036. The
interest rates of the bonds range from 3.85% to 5.15%. The City of Palm Desert is the only bondholder on record
for the bonds and reports a receivable in the general fund that corresponds to the outstanding principal on the
bonds. As of June 30, 2025, the receivable balance was $926,000.
B. Loans Receivable
The City entered into several individual loan agreements with residents of the Highlands Utility Undergrounding
Assessment District No. 04-01. The loans were issued by the City to pay off the principal of the respective
properties assessment. In turn, the residents agreed to pay to the City the full cost of the loan amount plus any
accrued interest at a rate of 5.35%. The full amount of the loan along with all accrued interest is due and payable
at the earliest of September 2, 2036 or any change in ownership of the property. As of June 30, 2025, the total
receivable from the Highlands Deferral Loan Program was $14,978.
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code 34176(b), the housing assets of the former RDA have been transferred to the
Housing Asset Fund as the successor housing entity. The Housing Asset Fund has a loan receivable for the
construction of a multi-family affordable housing development dated June 14, 2001 due from the PD Hovley
Limited Partnership. The loan is secured by a Deed of Trust and Regulatory Agreement with Options on the
housing development located in Palm Desert. On April 8, 2021 the Authority Board approved the re-syndication,
refinancing and rehabilitation of the affordable housing development. The existing 2001 loan was modified to
extend its maturity for fifty-five (55) years and provides for a suspension of principal payments for the estimated
construction period. The Authority Loan shall bear interest at the greater of the current applicable federal rate as
of the date of the Promissory Note or one percent (1%) simple interest per annum, and will be repaid from
seventy-five percent (75%) of the developments residual receipts remaining after payment of fees and expenses.
As of June 30, 2025, the total receivable from PD Hovley Limited Partnership was $5,148,813.

NOTE 3 - NOTES AND LOANS RECEIVABLE (CONTINUED)
The Housing Asset Fund has a loan receivable for the construction of a multi-family affordable housing
development dated December 20, 2022, due from Palm Desert Pacific Associates, a California Limited
Partnership. The Authority Loan shall bear interest at three percent (3%) simple interest per annum, and
repayment will commence as follows: 50% of Project Net Cash Flow, as defined in the Loan Agreement shall be
paid to PDHA on an annual basis on June 30th after the first anniversary of issuance of a final certificate of
occupancy for the project and each annual anniversary thereafter (with respect to the Project New Cash Flow for
the preceding year ending on June 30th prior to each such payment date) until the Note has been satisfied in full.
As of June 30, 2025, the total receivable from Palm Desert Pacific Associates was $6,030,000 and management
has no reason to believe any allowance for doubtful accounts should be established for the loan.
On August 28, 2008, the City Council approved through resolution the Energy Independence Program (EIP),
which is supported by Assembly Bill AB811. The EIP program allowed the City to create the funding mechanism to
assist the residents and businesses entering into a loan agreement with the City and providing the money for the
borrowers to acquire and install energy efficient improvements. Assembly Bill AB811 allows the City to lien the
properties through annual property tax assessments for a period not to exceed 20 years. To date, 279 residents
and business owners entered into loan agreements with the City and have completed their improvements through
the EIP program, as of June 30, 2025, 160 loans have been repaid. The loans are payable in two annual
installments for a period of 5 years to 20 years at an interest rate of 7% annually. On June 30, 2025, the
outstanding loans receivable through the EIP Program was $186,349.
On November 1, 2024 The Palm Desert Housing Authority entered into a new loan agreement with A0358
Monterey L.P., a California limited partnership, in the amount of Seven Million Two Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($7,235,000) from the Authority's Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund to fund the construction
of One-Hundred Thirty Nine (139) of the One-Hundred Seventy Four (174) affordable housing units comprising
the proposed apartment project, Crossings at Palm Desert Apartments.
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code 34176(b), the housing assets of the former RDA have been transferred to the
Palm Desert Housing Authority as the successor housing entity. The Housing Authority has loans for several other
projects, all of which are secured by a deed of trust. An allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the loan balance
has been recognized since there is a significant possibility that these loans will either become uncollectible or
forgiven by the Housing Authority at a future date if all the terms of the loans have been met.
On June 13, 2024, the City Council approved through a resolution of the Palm Desert Housing Authority a
Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement (DDLA) with Chelsea Investments Corporation in the amount of
Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) from the Authority's Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund, and have
a term of Fifty-Five (55) years from the date of the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. The Authority Loan
shall bear interest at three percent (3%) simple interest per annum, and principal will be repaid from a proportional
share of the Projects residual receipts. The Authority Loan will be due and payable at the end of the loan term and
will be used to fund the construction of Thirty-Nine (39) multi-family affordable housing units comprising the
proposed apartment project, Arc Village Apartments.

Special Assessment Debt with Government Commitment
Highlands Undergrounding Assessment District No. 04-01, Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2006
On August 8, 2006, the City Palm Desert issued $3,165,000 of Limited Obligation Bonds. The proceeds of the
Bonds were used to finance the construction of the utility undergrounding and pay the cost of issuance. The debt
service on the bonds is to be paid by assessments secured on the property tax rolls of those properties benefiting
from the improvements. In the event that assessment collections are insufficient to pay the debt service, the City
has a potential obligation to provide additional funds to pay the debt service, therefore these bonds are reported
as special assessment debt with government commitment. Bond maturities begin September 2, 2007, and
continue annually through 2036. The interest rates of the bonds range from 3.85% to 5.15%. The City of Palm
Desert is the only bondholder on record of the bonds and the City does not own the constructed assets.

NOTE 10 - RISK MANAGEMENT AND CLAIMS PAYABLE
A. Description of Self-Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Power Agreement
The City of Palm Desert is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Authority). The Authority
is composed of 126 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.
B. Primary Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. The total funding requirement
for primary self-insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies
based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool.
C. Primary 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 $100,000 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 $100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total
incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $500,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on
the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence.
Subsidence losses also have a $50 million per occurrence limit. The coverage structure is composed of a
combination of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and excess insurance. Additional information concerning the
coverage structure is available on the Authority’s website: https://cjpia.org/coverage/risk-sharing-pools/.

NOTE 10 - RISK MANAGEMENT AND CLAIMS PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
D. Primary 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 $75,000 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 $75,000 to $200,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the
pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $200,000 to statutory limits are
distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
For 2025 the Authority’s pooled retention is $1 million per occurrence, with reinsurance to statutory limits under
California Workers’ Compensation Law. Employer’s Liability losses are pooled among members to $1 million.
Coverage from $1 million to $5 million is purchased through reinsurance policies, and Employer’s Liability losses
from $5 million to $10 million are pooled among members.
E. Pollution Legal Liability Insurance
The City of Palm Desert participates in the pollution legal liability insurance program which is available through the
Authority. The policy covers sudden and gradual pollution of scheduled property, streets, and storm drains owned
by the City of Palm Desert. Coverage is on a claims-made basis. There is a $250,000 deductible. The Authority
has an aggregate limit of $20 million.
F. Property Insurance
The City of Palm Desert participates in the all-risk property protection program of the Authority. This insurance
protection is underwritten by several insurance companies. City of Palm Desert property is currently insured
according to a schedule of covered property submitted by the City of Palm Desert to the Authority. City of Palm
Desert property currently has all-risk property insurance protection in the amount of $397,495,666. There is a
$10,000 deductible per occurrence except for non-emergency vehicle insurance which has a $2,500 deductible.
G. Crime Insurance
The City of Palm Desert purchases crime insurance coverage in the amount of $10,000,000 with a $2,500
deductible. The fidelity coverage is provided through the Authority.
H. Special Event Tenant User Liability Insurance
The City or Palm Desert further protects against liability damages by requiring tenant users of certain property to
purchase low-cost tenant user liability insurance for certain activities on agency property. The insurance premium
is paid by the tenant user and is paid to the City of Palm Desert according to a schedule. The City of Palm Desert
then pays for the insurance. The insurance is facilitated by the Authority.
I. Adequacy of Protection
During the past three fiscal years, none of the above programs of protection experienced settlements or
judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were no significant reductions in pooled or insured
liability coverage in the fiscal year 2024-25.
J. Claims Payable
Estimates for all workers’ compensation and general liabilities up to the self-insured levels have been recorded as
long-term liabilities.

NOTE 11 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code
Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future
years.
The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable
emergency. Pursuant to changes in August 1996, of IRC Section 457, in January 1997, the City established a
trust in which all assets held by Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. (NRS) and ICMA Retirement Corporation
(ICMA) were placed. In June 2024, the City transitioned all 457 accounts from Nationwide and ICMA to Empower.
The City does not have fiduciary responsibility for the plan assets held by NRS, ICMA, or Empower. The assets,
all property and rights purchased with such amounts and all income attributable to such amounts are held in trust
for the exclusive benefit of the participants and the beneficiaries. The assets are no longer the property of the City,
and as such, are no longer subject to the claims of the City’s general creditors. As a result, the assets of the 457
plan in the amount of $15,873,542 held by NRS, ICMA, and Empower of the 457 Plan are not reflected in the
City’s financial statements.

NOTE 12 - PENSION PLAN
A. General Information about the Pension Plan:
Plan Description
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City’s Miscellaneous Plan,
agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the California Public Employees’
Retirement System (CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating
member employers. Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution.
CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan 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 members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of
service.
The death benefit is one of the following: the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional
Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for the plan are applied as specified by the Public
Employees’ Retirement Law.
The Plan’s provisions and benefits in effect at measurement date, are summarized as follows:
Miscellaneous

Employees Covered
At June 30, 2023, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms for all Plans:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits 196
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 97
Active employees 128
Total 421
Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates
for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1
following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an
actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to
finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any
unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate
and the contribution rate of employees.
B. Net Pension Liability
The City’s net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the total pension liability, less the pension plan’s
fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of Plan is measured as of June 30, 2024, using an annual actuarial
valuation as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures. A summary of
principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net pension liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2024 actuarial valuations were determined using the following actuarial
assumptions:
Valuation date June 30, 2023
Measurement date June 30, 2024
Actuarial cost method Entry age normal
Actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Payroll Growth 2.80%
Projected Salary Increase Varies by Entry Age and Service
Investment Rate of Return 6.8% Net of Pension Plan Investment and
Administrative Expenses; includes Inflation
Mortality rate table * Derived using CalPERS' membership data for all funds
*The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS-specific data. The probabilities of mortality are
based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions. Mortality rates incorporate
full generational mortality improvement using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For
more details on this table, please refer to the 2021 experience study report from November 2021 that can be
found on the CalPERS website.

NOTE 12 - PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED)
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90% for the Plan. To determine whether the
municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for the plan, CalPERS stress tested plans
that would most likely result 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 6.80%
discount rate is appropriate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not deemed necessary. The
long-term expected discount rate of 6.80% is applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund
(PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called “GASB Crossover Testing Report” that
can be obtained from the CalPERS website under the GASB 68 section.
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 of pension plan
investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term
market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Such cash flows were developed
assuming that both members and employers will make their required contributions on time and as scheduled in all
future years. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were
calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach.
Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was
calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the 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 below 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. The
target allocation shown was adopted by the CalPERS Board effective on July 1, 2014.

NOTE 17 - SUCCESSOR AGENCY DISCLOSURES
Dissolution of Redevelopment Agency
Pursuant to AB X1 26 (adopted by the California Legislature in June 2011) and the State Supreme Court’s decision in
California Redevelopment Association, et al. v. Ana Matosantos, et al., 53 Cal. 4th 231 (2011), all redevelopment
agencies in the State were dissolved as of February 1, 2012. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-76 on
August 25, 2011, pursuant to Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34172, electing for the City to serve as the
Successor Agency (‘SARDA”) to the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (the “Dissolved RDA”). SARDA is
tasked with the wind-down of the Dissolved RDA’s affairs. Certain SARDA actions must first be approved by an
oversight board, composed of seven-members representing taxing entities.
HSC Section 34173(g) expressly provides that SARDA is a separate public entity from the City, and the liabilities and
assets of the Dissolved RDA shall not be transferred to the City.
Pursuant to HSC Section 34176, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-07, on February 9, 2012, electing to
have the Palm Desert Housing Authority to serve as the Housing Successor. The Housing Authority (as the Housing
Successor) submitted to the State Department of Finance (“DOF”) a list of housing assets to be transferred by SARDA
to the Housing Successor. On August 31, 2012, the DOF issued a letter indicating that the DOF had no objection to
such housing asset list.
The housing assets (per the housing asset list), obligations, and activities of the Dissolved RDA were transferred to the
Housing Successor and are reported in the Housing Asset Fund beginning in fiscal year 2011-12. However,
outstanding bonds (“Housing Bonds”), secured by a pledge of moneys which would have been deposited into the
Dissolved RDA’s low and moderate income housing fund (known as the “Housing Set Aside”), remain as the SARDA’s
enforceable obligations. See also “Stipulated Judgment” below. All other assets, obligations, and activities of the
Dissolved RDA have been transferred and are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial
statements of the City. The County Auditor-Controller (“CAC”) has established a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust
Fund (the “RPTTF”) for SARDA and is charged with depositing into the RPTTF the amount of property taxes that would
have been redevelopment property tax increment had the Dissolved RDA not been dissolved.
SARDA is required to prepare an annual recognized obligation payment schedule (the “ROPS”) setting forth the
amounts due for enforceable obligations from each July 1 through the following June 30. The CAC only makes
payments to the SARDA from the RPTTF based on the ROPS amounts approved by the oversight board and the DOF.
During fiscal year 2012-13, SARDA was required to conduct due diligence reviews of the low and moderate income
housing fund and all other funds to compute the funds (cash) which were not needed to be retained to pay existing
enforceable obligations or otherwise unrestricted, and therefore, must be remitted to the CAC. SARDA paid a total
amount of $40,988,399 to the CAC based on the due diligence reviews per the DOF’s determination.
The DOF issued a Finding of Completion on May 15, 2013 after SARDA remitted such payments.
The Finding of Completion allows the placement of certain loans (“Advances”) made by the City to the Dissolved RDA
(which were previously voided by operation of law upon the Dissolved RDA’s dissolution) on the ROPS. For each
approved repayment 20% of the repayment amount must be allocated to the Housing Asset Fund. The repayment of
the Advances, pursuant to the oversight board’s and the DOF’s approval, began during fiscal year 2019-20. During
fiscal year 2024-25, the City received a final determination from the California Department of Finance that these
advances would not be deemed an enforceable obligation. There is no financial statement impact as these balances
were offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts in previous years.
The California State Controller was directed to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between the Dissolved
RDA and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. The State Controller completed its review on March
14, 2013 and did not identify any unallowable transfers of assets that occurred between the Dissolved RDA and the
City or other public agencies.

SARDA’s use and disposition of all real properties held (Long Range Property Management Plan (“LRPMP”), was
approved by the DOF on June 2, 2014. The LRPMP allowed the SARDA to transfer property used for government
purposes with a cost basis of $6,390,263 to the City.
Stipulated Judgment
On May 15, 1991, the Riverside County Superior Court entered a final judgment incorporating the terms of a
Stipulation for Entry of Judgment (“Original Stipulation”) in Case No. 51124 and a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment
pursuant to Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (“Settlement Agreement”) in Case No. 51124, among the
Dissolved RDA, the City, the Western Center on Law and Poverty, Inc., California Rural Legal Assistance, and others.
On June 18, 1997 and on September 20, 2002, the Riverside County Superior Court amended the judgment,
incorporating Stipulations Amending Stipulation for Entry of Judgment.
The judgment, as amended (the “Judgment”), generally required the Dissolved RDA to use 20% of its tax increment
revenues, and additional tax increment revenues if necessary, to develop, rehabilitate, or otherwise financially assist
affordable housing units and to meet certain housing needs of the City. Before dissolution, the Dissolved RDA used its
Housing Set-Aside to fulfill its obligations under the Judgment (including the payment of debt service on the Housing
Bonds issued to finance and refinance affordable housing projects that satisfied the requirements of both the Judgment
and the relevant Redevelopment Law provisions). While the low and moderate income housing fund and the
requirement to deposit the Housing Set-Aside into such fund have been eliminated upon the Dissolved RDA’s
dissolution, SARDA continues to recognize the Judgment as its enforceable obligation. On its
ROPS, the SARDA has included line items designated as “Stipulation Judgment Case No. 51124,” listing the amounts
necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Judgment (after taking into account the amounts already listed for the
repayment of the Housing Bonds). While the DOF originally approved such line items, the DOF changed its position
beginning with ROPS 14-15A (i.e., covering the period commencing July 1, 2014).
On August 14, 2014, SARDA filed an action, SARDA to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency v. Michael Cohen,
Sacramento Superior Court Case No. 34-2014-00167698 (the “Successor Agency Lawsuit”), seeking to compel the
DOF to permit payment of the affordable housing obligations mandated by the Judgment. Subsequently, in view of the
fact that there were similar cases pending in the California Court of Appeal (Third District), the SARDA voluntarily
dismissed its action without prejudice pending resolution of those other cases. To date, none of the other cases has
resulted in a decision that would compel the DOF to permit payment of the obligations under the Judgment as an
enforceable obligation.
The assets and liabilities of the Dissolved RDA (except for those transferred to the Housing Successor and reported in
the Housing Asset Fund) have been transferred to the SARDA. The SARDA is acting in a fiduciary capacity for the
assets and liabilities. Disclosures related to these transactions are as follows:

The tax allocation revenues bonds issued before 2011 (i.e., before the dissolution of the Dissolved RDA) were issued
by the Palm Desert Financing Authority, the proceeds of which were loaned to the Dissolved RDA for financing or
refinancing redevelopment projects. Pursuant to the bond documents, the Authority’s bonds were secured by the
Dissolved RDA’s (and after dissolution, are secured by the Successor Agency’s) repayment of the loans were secured
by tax increment (after the Dissolved RDA’s dissolution, are secured by certain moneys deposited in the RPTTF, see
Notes 19) and other funds as provided in the bond documents.
In January 2017, the Successor Agency issued four series of bonds: (i) the Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, 2017
Series A, in the aggregate principal amount of $52,390,000 (the “2017A Bonds”), (ii) the Taxable Tax Allocation
Refunding Bonds, 2017 Series B, in the aggregate principal amount of $140,130,000 (the “2017B Bonds”), (iii) the Tax
Allocation Refunding Bonds, 2017 Series H-A, in the aggregate principal amount of $7,365,000 (the “2017H-A Bonds”);
and (iv) the Taxable Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, 2017 Series H-B, in the aggregate principal amount of
$45,815,000 (the “2017H-B Bonds”). As further described below, the 2017 refunding refunded all of the outstanding
tax allocation revenue bonds, except for the Project Area No. 2 2003 Bonds.
None of these bonds or any interest thereon are a debt of the City, the State of California or any of its political
subdivisions (except for the Successor Agency), and none the City, the State of California nor any of its political
subdivisions (except for the Successor Agency) is liable on the bonds, nor in any event shall the bonds and interest
thereon be payable out of any funds or properties other than those provided under the respective bond documents.
The remaining outstanding Project Area No. 2 2003 Bonds were insured by MBIA Insurance Corporation (“MBIA”). On
February 18, 2009, MBIA announced the restructuring of its financial guaranty insurance operations into two separately
capitalized sister companies, with one entity (MBIA Illinois) assuming the risk associated with its U.S. municipal
exposures, and the other (MBIA Corp) insuring the remainder of the portfolio. Effective March 19, 2009, MBIA Illinois
was renamed National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (“NPFGC”).
Some (but not all) of the maturities of each series of the 2017 Bonds are insured by Build America Mutual Assurance
Company.

Notes to Schedule of Changes in the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios:
Benefit Changes: The figures above generally include any liability impact that may have resulted from voluntary
benefit changes that occurred on or before the measurement date. However, offers of Two Years Additional
Service Credit (a.k.a. Golden Handshakes) that occurred after the valuation date are not included in the figures
above, unless the liability impact is deemed to be material by the plan actuary.
Changes of Assumptions: There were no assumption changes in 2023 or 2024. Effective with the June 30, 2021,
valuation date (June 30, 2022, measurement date), the accounting discount rate was reduced from 7.15% to
6.90%. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return
expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. In addition, demographic assumptions and the
price inflation assumption were changed in accordance with the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study and Review of
Actuarial Assumptions. The accounting discount rate was 7.15% for measurement dates June 30, 2017, through
June 30, 2021, and 7.65% for measurement dates June 30, 2015, through June 30, 2016.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
NOTE 1: BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
The City used the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reported in the financial statements:
1. Before the beginning of the fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed budget for
the year commencing the following July 1.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is subsequently adopted through passage of a resolution.
4. Expenditures for the General Fund cannot exceed amounts budgeted at the departmental level, which is the
legal level of control. For other funds, expenditures cannot exceed the total amount budgeted for each fund,
which is the legal level of control.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer appropriations (without council approval) between an object of a
General Fund Department and authority to adjust intra-and outer departmental budgeted line items, as well as
inter-fund transfers, provided such adjustments do not exceed the total approved budget. The City Council
approves all other changes. Annual appropriation amounts lapse at year-end.
5. Encumbrances and continuing appropriations are rebudgeted as of July 1, by Council action.
6. Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for all governmental funds except for certain special revenue funds and capital
projects funds, which adopt project length budgets and debt service funds that are not budgeted as effective
budgetary control is achieved through debt indenture provisions. The following funds did not have legally
adopted budgets during the current fiscal year:
