A. Discussion and Committee Recommendation Regarding Body Worn Cameras -
Martin
Bakersfield Chief of Police Martin introduced Police Lieutenant Blakemore who provided
a power point presentation summarizing what a body worn camera is, its purpose,
characteristics of the current devices available, the technology available to support
them, and the benefits and challenges of implementing a Body Worn Camera Pilot
program. Lieutenant Blakemore had devices from different vendors available for
inspection. Two short videos were played to show the quality of recordings; one
recorded during the day and the other at night. Approximately one-third of the total
nationwide law enforcement agencies currently use the devices.
Committee member Rivera stated he was very supported of a pilot program. He asked
how members of the public would have access to the recording and how long would
the information be available.
City Attorney Gennaro stated the process would be same as a public request. A written
request for the recording would need to be made and filed with the City Clerk’s Office.
Availability will be determined by the underlying report of the recording.
Committee member Weir inquired about the selection process of the vendor and
camera equipment.
Chief of Police Martin stated there were several vendors who responded to the request
for proposal and that a selection had not been made. Assistant Chief of Police
Demestihas added that the proposals included specific terms to update the equipment
every other year of the contact (i.e. new equipment – year 1, new equipment – year 3,
and new equipment – year 5). A vendor will be determined at a later date if the Council
decides to implement a pilot program.
Committee Chair Gonzales thanked everyone for their work and efforts as well.
Committee member Rivera made a motion to present the Body Ward Camera Pilot
Program project to the full City Council for consideration. The motion was unanimously
approved.

that it be allocated to fund the La France project.
Public Works Director Fidler responded that the Union/Brundage project included

runoff water as the area experiences flooding. He stated all components of the

for one to fund another may have on each project.
Committee Chair Gonzales requested staff prepare a map that identifies the
areas where curb, gutter and sidewalks projects have been completed as well as
where new projects are beginning. The map should differentiate between

ended June 30, 2019 will be provided to the City Council as part of the packet prior to this meeting. A copy of the report will also be

are audited by the accounting firm of Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation. The current year audit opinion issued by the
outside auditors was “unqualified,” which indicates that the City complied, in all material respects, with accounting principals
generally accepted in the United States of America.
2. The Agreed Upon Conditions Report is designed to increase efficiency, internal controls and/or financial reporting and includes
any reportable conditions noted during the Audit. A summary of reported conditions are included in the report. The report also
addresses conditions identified in the prior year which have all been resolved to the auditors’ satisfaction.

United States of America, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the
planned scope and timing of the audit.
4. Contract requirements contained in City of Bakersfield Agreement 76-153 as amended by Agreements 76-153(5), 76-153(4), 77-

with contract requirements is audited on an annual basis. The current compliance report, issued by the outside auditors, is attached
for your review and indicates that there were no audit findings.
5. Attached is a letter from the City’s independent auditors Brown Armstrong Accountancy Corporation indicating they have
completed their annual review of the Appropriations Limit Worksheet prepared by the City in accordance with Section 1.5 of Article
XIIIB of the California Constitution (GANN Limit). This annual review is performed by the auditors as part of their contract to provide

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 18, 2020
TO: Budget & Finance Committee
FROM: Christopher Boyle, Development Services Director
SUBJECT: Recommended HUD Funding for FY 2020-21
Background. As an entitlement City under the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), the City of Bakersfield receives annual funds to improve low-income neighborhoods in the City.
Projects funded with HUD funds are intended to improve the quality of life and infrastructure for low-
income persons and neighborhoods in the City of Bakersfield. Funds are distributed pursuant to the
following programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership
(HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing and Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
(HOPWA). Project selection is based on the needs, goals and outcomes outlined every 5 years through a
community engagement process. This information is then compiled into the City of Bakersfield’s 5 Year
Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) for HUD funds spanning from 2020-25. This year (2020-21) will be the first
year of the five year ConPlan.
Available Funds. As of the preparation of this Memo, HUD has not released the entitlement amount for
FY 20-21. However, staff has used the previous 19-20 Budget as an estimate for the anticipated 20-21
HUD Budget prepared for the Committee’s review. In order to account for possible changes in the HUD
Budget, staff has projected a 3% decrease in CDBG, 10% decrease in HOME funding, and a 0% decrease
in ESG and HOPWA. In FY 19-20, HUD funds from all programs totaled $6,083,610 including $8,000 in
program income for CDBG and $100,000 for HOME. Thus, using the projected decreases listed above,
the total proposed HUD budget for FY 20-21 is $5,840,196. The following table compares the FY 19-20
HUD Budget to the projected FY 20-21 HUD Budget.
Federal Program Previous
HUD 2019-20 Budget
Projected
HUD 2020-21 Budget
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) $3,714,311 $3,610,882
Home Investment Partnership (HOME) $1,499,854 $1,359,869
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) $308,712 $308,712
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) $560,733 $560,733
Total $6,083,610 $5,840,196
Applications Received. The deadline for the submission of CDBG, HOME and ESG applications for FY
2020-21 funding was November 22, 2019. This year the City received 15 applications from non-profit
and private entities totaling $6,493.304, and 9 applications from City Departments totaling $3,200,257.
The total request for all grants, from both City and Non-City applicants, was $2,693,561.
Recommendation. Pursuant to federal requirements, Staff conducted a comprehensive review and
evaluation of all applications for funding. Staff has prepared the attached list of projects recieved and
recommended budget for consideration by the Budget and Finance Committee.
Staff anticipates that the 2020-25 Consolidated Plan, and the associated FY 20-21 HUD Action Plan, will
be considered by the City Council on April 8, 2020. The table below provides a brief timeline for the FY
20-21 Action Plan process.

December 20, 2019
Honorable Mayor, City Council, City Manager and Citizens of Bakersfield:
I am pleased to submit the City of Bakersfield's (the "City") Comprehensive An nual Financial Report (CAF R) for the
year ended June 30, 2019 in accordance with the requirements of our Municipal Code which states that a complete
financial statement and report be prepared at the end of each fiscal year (Section 2.08.020F). This report was
prepared by the City's Finance Department, which assumes responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures. Because the cost of internal control should
not exceed anticipated benefits the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance that the
financial statements are free of any material misstatements. To the best my knowledge and belief, the enclosed data
is accurate in all material aspects and is reported in a manner that presents fairly the financial position and results of
operations of the City.
The accompanying financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP ) as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Brown Ar mstrong Ac counting Corporation, a firm of licensed certified public accountants, performed the annual
independent audit. The goal of the audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the basic financial statements of
the City are free of material misstatement. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that the
City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, are fairly stated in conformity with GAAP .
The independent audit of the financial statements of the City was part of a broader, federally mandated “Single
Au dit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Au dit
engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair representation of the financial
statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with
special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These
reports are available in the City’s separately issued Single Audit Report and may be obtained from the City’s website.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic
financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and An alysis (M D&A). This letter of transmittal is
designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of Bakersfield’s MD&A can
be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors, which begins at page 1 of the financial
section.
GENERAL BACKGROUND
The City of Bakersfield is located approximately one hundred miles north of Los An geles in the southern San Joaquin
Valley. The City maintains an incorporated area of 151 square mi les and has an estimated population of 389,211 as
of January 1, 2019.
The City of Bakersfield is a Charter City that offers a full range of City services including:
• Fire and Police Protection
• Streets and Infrastructure Maintenance
• Planning and Community Development
iv
• Parks and Recreation Services
• River & Agricultural Water and Domestic Water Services
• Municipal Airpark - General Aviation
• Refuse Collection
• Wastewater Treatment
As such, this report includes the financial activities of the City of Bakersfield and the Bakersfield Successor Ag ency. A
more detailed discussion of the reporting entity is provided in the notes to the financial statements.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
The transportation projects associated with Thomas Roads Improvement Program (TRIP) continue to progress through
the various phases of environmental, design, land acquisition and construction. The TRIP program uses a
combination of local funds, Transportation Impact Fees, and State and Federal road funds, which includes
approximately $570 million of Federal earmark funds approved by Congress in 2005.
The 2018-19 capital budget included over $170 million of funding for the TRIP projects as outlined below:
Centennial Corridor
(Construction)$ 163,022,000
24th Street Widening
(C onstruction)$ 2,500,000
Stockdale/Enos Lane Roundabout
(C onstruction)$ 3,500,000
We st Beltway
(R ight of Way)$ 1,675,000
The City had three major the TRIP projects under construction during the fiscal year including the 24th Street
Wi dening, the Centennial Corridor Kern River Bridge Improvements, the Centennial Corridor Belle Terrace Bridge
reconstruction and the Beltway Operational improvements to State Routes 58 & 99. Supplemental grant awards at
both the State and Federal level have resulted in the remaining projects planned to be constructed in the TRI P
program to be fully funded, requiring no additional financing or borrowing.
FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION
Local Economy and Local Budget Issues - The local economy for the City of Bakersfield shows signs of continued
recovery in various areas, including the oil industry, but questions remain as to the sustainability of that growth.
Property tax revenues grew by 5.4% in fiscal year 2018-19 and are estimated to increase by an additional 4.0% in
fiscal year 2019-20. The continued uncertainty in existing revenue streams and the need for expanded services
prompted the City to initiate a local sales tax measure to increase the City rate by 1 percent. The district add-on tax,
called the Public Safety and Vital Services (P SVS) measure, was approved in November 2018 and went into effect
Ap ril 1, 2019. Wh ile the City did not receive a full year of PSVS revenue it did result in an additional $17 million in sales
tax funds over and above the standard tax (B radley -Burns). The PSVS funds are budgeted and accounted for
separately within a sub-fund of the General Fund and have a special oversight committee made up of nine City
residents. The funds are to be used to meet thirteen specific priorities (a s identified in the ballot measure) to address
top community priorities including enhancing public safety, reducing homelessness and bolstering economic
development activities. It is anticipated that this new stream of revenue will double the sales tax revenue available
to the City. In addition to the increase from the PSVS sales tax, the Bradley-Burns sales tax revenues increased by 7.1%
in fiscal year 2018-19 which was due to the continued growth in the local economy previously mentioned. Al so, as
previously mentioned, the uncertainty of the level of growth has resulted in a slight budgeted increase of 2.0% in the
2019-20 fiscal year. With these positive trends pointing to a recovery it again needs to be emphasized that there still
is a level of uncertainty in the local economy and that the PSVS fund's are designated for the specific goals identified
by the voter approved measure.
The City Council (t he Council) continues to support a conservative approach in adopting our budget for 2019-20.
The Council has increased the City’s cash basis reserve by $13 million using the PSVS funds for a total reserve of $26.4
million. Those reserves, along with a $3.5 million facilities reserve fund, provide an improved level of protection for the
City. The Council continued to fund the City’s Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) costs for retiree medical
benefits, maintaining the City of Bakersfield’s position as one of the few entities in California that are making serious
progress toward fully funding this long-term obligation.
Retirement costs continue to escalate for all employee groups and over the next several years are expected to
v
increase by 67% ($28.9 million) by fiscal year 2024-25. This dramatic rise is a result of California Public Employees’
Retirement System’s (CalPERS) changes to its actuarial methodology and their lower than projected earnings in
previous years. These methodology changes and resulting rate increases will have a significant impact on retirement
costs for the City. Ac tual CalPERS earnings over the past five years have been 2.4%, 0.6%, 11.2%, 8.6% and 6.7%
respectively. While the recent improvement in returns is a positive sign, the effects of annual investment increases
are smoothed over a 30-year period so significant reductions in costs are not expected in the near-term. CalPERS
estimates the impact of the changes and returns will increase our annual retirement benefit costs by approximately
$3.0 million to $4.0 million per year for the next five years.
Long-Term Financial Planning - The City of Bakersfield continues to look forward in meeting our long-term financial
and operating needs. The increasing costs of retirement are of particular concern and continue to be closely
examined by the City. As the City grows both in population and in geographic area, there will be a continued need
to evaluate opportunities to become more efficient and effective in our efforts to serve our community.
The City Council adopted Resolution 91-19 on June 28, 2019 to create a more substantial reserve to help mitigate
potential financial downturns as well as create potential avenues to address the increasing concern regarding the
growing unfunded pension liabilities. This resolution created a five-year plan that would increase the General Fund
reserve equal to two months of operational costs and begin to fund a Section 115 Pension Rate Stabilization Fund.
This plan is subject to the availability of funds and does not lock the City into any contributions that would be
detrimental to the operations necessary to serve the needs of the residents of Bakersfield.
Accounting System and Internal Controls - The City's accounting system is organized and operated on a fund basis
with each fund treated as a distinct self-balancing accounting entity. Various funds utilized by the City of Bakersfield
are fully described in Note 1 of Notes to the Basic Financial Statements. The City's accounting records for general
governmental operations are maintained on a modified accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are
recognized when measurable and available and expenditures are recognized when materials and services are
received. Ac counting records for the enterprise and internal service funds are recorded on an accrual basis of
accounting, whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.
In developing and evaluating the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of internal
accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance
regarding: (1 ) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and (2 ) the reliability of
financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of
reasonable assurance recognizes that: (a) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived
and (b) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Al l internal control evaluations occur within the framework described previously. The City Finance department
believes that these internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of
proper recording of financial transactions. However, the City recognizes that even sound internal controls have
inherent limitations. Internal controls must be reviewed to ensure that the City’s operating policies and procedures
are being adhered to and that the controls are adequate to assure accurate and reliable financial reporting and to
safeguard the City’s assets.
Budgetary Controls - The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions
embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Project length financial plans are
adopted for the capital projects funds. The level of budgetary control is established at the fund level. The City also
maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary control.
Unencumbered amounts lapse at year-end. However, encumbrances and certain capital projects are re-
appropriated as part of the following year's budget. The 2018-19 City of Bakersfield appropriation limit established as
required by state statute was $408,504,776.
Cash Management - The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds, except the
Fire Pension Trust Fund. Each fund type's portion of this pool is displayed on the combined balance sheet as cash and
short-term investments. The deposits and investments of the Fire Relief and Pension Trust Fund are held separately
from other City funds.
vi
The City Council has adopted an investment policy in accordance with California Government Code Sections 53607
and 53646, with a goal to minimize credit and market risks while maintaining a competitive yield on its portfolio. The
City is also governed by State statutes authorizing the City to invest in bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of
the U.S. Government or any of its agencies and instrumentalities, repurchase agreements and bankers’
acceptances. The pension trust investments are administered separately under Municipal Code Section 2.92, which
is within state guidelines.
OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit - The City Charter requires an annual audit by independent certified public accountants. The City
Council also adopted a policy regarding auditor rotation that encourages competitive bidding on a five-year cycle.
The accounting firm of Brown Ar mstrong Ac countancy Corporation was selected by the City Council in 2017 to

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
Bakersfield, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Bakersfield, California, (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30,
2019, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows for
the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
2
Emphasis of Matter
As disclosed in the Note 1 to the financial statements, the City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement Obligations and GASB Statement No. 88, Certain
Disclosures Related to Debt, including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements, during the fiscal year ended June
30, 2019. Our opinion is not modified with respect to the matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion
and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 3 through 18 and 105 through 107, the City’s
Retirement Plans’ Schedule of Changes in the Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios and the Schedule of Pension
Contributions on pages 108 through 110, and the Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) Plan’s Schedules of
Changes in the City’s Net OPEB Liability and Related Ratios as well as its Schedule of Contributions on pages 111
and 112 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by GASB, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of
preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual major and nonmajor fund
financial statements and schedules, schedules of long-term debt recorded in private purpose trust fund on pages 117
through 146, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual major and nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules as well as schedules of
long-term debt recorded in private purpose trust fund on pages 117 through 146 are the responsibility of management
and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly
to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual major and nonmajor fund financial
statements and schedules as well as schedules of long-term debt recorded in private purpose trust fund on pages
117 through 146 are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 27, 2019, 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 to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
This discussion and analysis of the City of Bakersfield’s (City) financial performance provides an overview of the City’s
financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in
conjunction with the accompanying letter of transmittal, the basic financial statements, and the accompanying notes to those
financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at
the close of the most recent fiscal year by $2.0 billion (net position).
The City’s total net position increased by $41.4 million over the prior fiscal year. This increase is attributable to a
$1.8 million decrease in restricted net position and a $6.8 million increase in unrestricted net position, offset by a
$35.0 million increase in capital assets investment. Prior year information presented in this section does not take into
account restatements made to fiscal year 2017-18 balances for prior period adjustments (see Note 23).
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City's Governmental Funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$186.5 million, an increase of $12.7 million in comparison with the prior year. Amounts available for spending
include restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned fund balances. Of this amount, $19.0 million is restricted by
law or externally imposed requirements, $110.5 million is committed for specific purposes, $51.4 million is assigned
and $4.7 million is unassigned and available.
Available fund balance for the General Fund increased $15.6 million to $54.6 million, which equates to 26.3% of
total General Fund expenditures for the year.
The City's long-term debt showed a decrease of $6.7 million during the current fiscal year.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund
financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in
addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a
manner similar to a private-sector business. The statements present the financial picture of the City from the economic
resources measurement focus using the accrual basis of accounting. They present governmental activities and business-type
activities separately. Additionally, certain eliminations have occurred as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) statements in regards to interfund activity, payables and receivables.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities provide information about the City as a whole and its activities
through the fiscal year. These statements include all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of
resources of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector
companies. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account, regardless of when cash is received or paid.
These two statements report the City's net position and changes in it. Net position is the difference between assets deferred
outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources providing a measurement of the City's financial health. Over
time, increases or decreases in the City's net position can be an indicator of whether its overall financial health is improving or
deteriorating. Other factors to consider are changes in the City's property tax base and sales tax base. The government-wide
financial statements do not include the fiduciary funds, which comprise the private purpose trust funds, pension trust funds, and
agency funds. Resources in the fiduciary funds are generally not available to support the City’s own programs.
In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities, we separate the City activities as follows:
Governmental activities - Most of the City's basic services are reported in this category, including the General Government,
Police, Fire, Public Works, Recreation & Parks and Development Services. These activities are generally financed by property
and sales taxes, user fees, interest income, franchise fees, and state and federal shared revenues and grants.
Business-Type activities - The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the cost of certain services it provides.
The City's Water, Wastewater, and Refuse Collection systems along with the Municipal Airport and Offstreet Parking activities
are reported in this category.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A fund is a specific grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for
specific activities and objectives. The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds,
not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law and by bond covenants. Management establishes
many other funds to help control and manage financial resources for particular purposes, or to show that the City is meeting
legal responsibilities when using certain taxes, grants, and other revenue.
These financial statements include statements for each of the three categories of activities – governmental, proprietary and
fiduciary. The governmental activities are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and modified
accrual basis of accounting. The proprietary activities are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting. The fiduciary activities are agency funds that also use the economic resources measurement focus
but only report a balance sheet. Reconciliation of the Governmental Fund Financial Statements to the Government-Wide
Financial Statements are provided to explain the differences created by the integrated approach.
Governmental Funds - Most of the City's basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on the flow of
resources into and out of those funds with the balances remaining at year-end available for appropriation. These funds are
reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be
converted to cash. The Governmental Fund financial statements focus on near-term inflow and outflow of spendable resources,
as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in
evaluating a government’s near-term financial requirements. To facilitate comparisons, the differences of results in the
Governmental Fund financial statements to those in the Government-Wide financial statements are explained in a reconciliation
schedule following the Governmental Fund financial statement.
Proprietary Funds - Proprietary Funds are used to report services the City charges for, whether to external customers or units
within the City. Proprietary Funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position
and the Statement of Activities. The City's Enterprise Funds report the same functions as the business-type activities reported in
the Government-Wide financial statements, but provide mo re detail and additional information, such as cash flows. The City
uses Internal Service Funds (the second component of Proprietary Funds) to report activities that provide supplies and services
for the City's other programs and activities. This includes the City's Self-Insurance and Equipment Management Funds. These
services primarily benefit governmental rather that business-type functions so a majority of the related operation costs are
included with the governmental activities in the Government-Wide financial statements.
Fiduciary Funds - The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for certain funds held on behalf of various third parties. The City's
fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Position. These activities are excluded from the City's
other financial statements because these resources are not available to support the City's programs or operations. The City is
responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided
in the Government-Wide and Fund financial statements. The notes can be found starting on page 47 of this report.
OTHER INFORMATION
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain “Required Supplementary
Information” concerning the City's progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits and other post-employment
benefits (OPEB) to its employees and budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and Special Revenue Major Funds.
This information can be found starting on page 103 of this report.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As previously noted, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the current
year, the City's assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $2.0 billion
at the close of the reporting period, which is a $39.9 million increase, or 2%, in comparison with the prior year.
The largest portion of the City’s net position relates to its net investment in capital assets of $2.0 billion (e.g., land, buildings,
machinery, infrastructure and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. These
capital assets are used to provide services to citizens; as such, these assets are not available for future expenditures. The City’s
net investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, though it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this
debt must be provided from other sources as the capital assets themselves cannot be used to service this debt.
A small portion of the City’s net position, $39.2 million (2.0% of the total), represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used.
As in the prior year, the City is able to report positive balances in both categories of net position, whether for the City as a
whole or for its separate Governmental and Business-type activities.
The following table presents the components of the government-wide Statement of Net Position at the end of the fiscal year for
both 2018 and 2019. The governmental and business-type activities columns reflect amounts that have been restated in this
financial report. Note 23 explains any prior period adjustments that changed net position.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Governmental Activities – Total assets for governmental activities increased by $33.0 million, with current and other assets in
governmental activities increasing by $17.4 million and a capital assets increase of $15.7 million. Total liabilities decreased by
$3.5 million, with other liabilities increasing by $4.5 million and long-term liabilities decreasing by $8.0 million.
Of the $19.9 million increase in governmental activities total net position, unrestricted net position increased by $6.9 million,
net investment in capital assets increased by $14.8 million and restricted net position decreased by $1.8 million. The decrease in
unrestricted net position stems primarily from the continued rise is pension liabilities.
Business-Type Activities – Total assets for business-type activities increased by $11.5 million, with current and other assets
increasing by $1.0 million and a $12.4 million increase in capital assets. Total liabilities decreased by $11.8 million, with other
liabilities decreasing by $4.0 million and long-term liabilities also decreasing by $7.8 million. Total net position for business-
type activities increased by $20.0 million. Of that amount, net investment in capital assets increased by $20.1 million.
Restricted net position remained constant and unrestricted net position increased by only $0.1 million. The overall increase in
net position is the result of completed improvement projects in the Wastewater, Refuse and Agriculture Water funds offset by
the continued increases in pension related liabilities and the recording of other post-employment benefit liabilities.
Change in Net Position of the City
The following table presents the government-wide changes in net position for both 2018 and 2019. The City’s total revenues
of $508.4 million were more than expenses of $467.0 million for an increase in net position before transfers & other items of
$41.4 million. The governmental and business-type activities columns reflect amounts that have been restated in this financial
report. Note 23 explains any prior period adjustments that changed net position.

Governmental Activities – The results in governmental activities caused an increase in the City’s net position by $21.7 million
during the year. In the graph below, the difference between the program revenue and expenses by activity illustrates the amount
each respective activity is supported by program revenues. Public Safety and Recreation and Parks service delivery costs
exceeded program revenues by $138.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Public Safety programs rely heavily on taxes to
support their operations whereas Recreation and Parks relies on both taxes and charges for services to support their operations.
This fiscal year Public Works service delivery costs exceeded program revenues by $30.3 million because a significant portion
of its services are also tax supported.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Total expenses in Governmental Activities had a net decrease of $16.7 million from the previous fiscal year for an overall 4.7%
decrease. The largest increases were in Public Safety – Police and Public Safety – Fire, which increased by $1.3 million and
$2.0 million, respectively, and in General Government with an increase of $1.4 million. These increases are primarily related to
increases connected to California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) rates in the current year. These changes
were offset by a decrease of $19.1 million in Public Works, which is primarily due to less expenditures incurred from capital
improvement projects.
9
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
The taxes category is the largest revenue source for governmental activities, amounting to $179.7 million or 50.3% of total
revenues. Capital grants and contributions is also a significant revenue source for the City’s governmental activities, amounting
to $78.7 million or 22.0% of total revenues. The third most significant sources of revenue is charges for services, amounting to
$57.5 million or 16.1% of total revenues.
Governmental Activities Revenues increased $24.8 million which is a 7.5% increase compared to the previous fiscal year. This
increase is due primarily to a 15.0%, or $27.4 million, increase in General Revenues, offset by a 1.7%, or $2.5 million, decrease
in Program Revenues.
General Revenues - Sales tax revenues increased by 30.8%, or $22.3 million, while property taxes increased by 4.7%, or $3.8
million. The primary reason for this increase is from the Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS) district tax which is a new
source of revenue that was approved by residents in November 2018. There has also been a slight recovery in general sales tax
revenue related to recent improvements in the oil industry with its related impacts on the local economy and an improvement in
consumer confidence.
Program Revenues - Capital Grants and Contributions decreased by $6.8 million due to a reduction in special projects funded in
Public Works compared to the prior year. The most significant reduction is related to the Thomas Roads Improvement Program
(TRIP) projects which included less activity related to construction and property acquisition when compared to the previous
year. Operating Grants and Contributions increased $2.2 million with the majority of the increase due to more entitlement funds
received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the current year and an increase in State grants received
to address the homelessness issues within the City.

Business-Type Activities – The City operates six Enterprise Funds that offer wastewater services, refuse collection, river &
agricultural water, domestic water to City residents, downtown parking and a municipal airport.
Business-type activities increased the City’s net position by $19.7 million during the current year. The chart above compares
total program revenues and expenses.
Program revenues exceeded program expenses in Wastewater Treatment by $6.9 million, Refuse Collection by $2.4 million,
River & Agricultural Water by $5.3 million, and Domestic Water by $4.2 million These increases were offset slightly by
program expenses exceeding program revenues in both the Airpark and Offstreet Parking funds by $156 thousand in total.
Total expenses increased by $3.3 million (2.6%) over the prior year.
The following chart illustrates the distribution of business-type revenues by category. The City’s business-type activities rely
heavily on charges for services to fund their operations, making up 83.2% of total revenues. Capital grants and contributions is
the second largest revenue source at 7.9% of total revenues.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Business-Type activities program revenues increased by $13.2 million, 9.9%, over the prior year. The majority of this can be
attributed to an increase in Refuse Collection service revenue of $3.2 million which was due to rate increases and additional
residential service customers. There were also increases in revenue in Domestic Water of $2.8 million, which was also
connected to an increase in rates, and $2.7 million in River & Agricultural Water, for a large one-time sale of surplus water
supplies. An increase in the Wastewater Treatment revenue was primarily connected to a rise in capital contributions of $5.9
million from more development in the area and consequently increases in related infrastructure added in the current year for that
activity.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
A fund is created and segregated for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or attaining specific objectives in accordance
with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. Activity not required to be reported in a separate fund is included in the
General Fund.
Governmental Funds - The focus of the City’s Governmental Funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows,
and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular,
unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the City’s available resources as it represents the portion of fund
balance which is not limited to use for a particular purpose by an external party, City management or City Council.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s Governmental Funds reported combined ending fund balances of $186.5
million, an increase of $12.7 million in comparison with the prior year. The components of total fund balance are as follows
12
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
(for more information see Note 14 – Fund Balances):
Nonspendable fund balance, $1.0 million, are amounts that are not spendable in form, or are legally or
contractually required to be maintained intact, and are made up of prepaid expenses and deposits.
Restricted fund balance, $19.0 million, consists of amounts with constraints put on their use by external creditors,
grantors, contributions, laws, regulations or enabling legislation. Examples of restrictions on funds are those for (1)
$12.9 million for the purpose of the fund (i.e., Gas Tax and Road projects), (2) $2.2 million from the Redevelopment
Successor Agency Housing Fund for projects and (3) $2.9 million for traffic safety projects.
Committed fund balance, $110.5 million, are amounts for specific purposes determined by the Bakersfield City
Council, such as funds collected from fees paid to mitigate the traffic impacts to the regional circulation system of
$51.6 million and funds set aside by City Council in the General Fund for cash basis/emergency reserves of $26.5
million.
Assigned fund balance, $51.4 million, for funds set aside by management for specific purposes. Amounts include
$28.0 million set aside for capital projects and $1.0 million for the fund purposes related to transient occupancy fees,
and $19.8 million for appropriations for next year’s budget.
Unassigned fund balance, $4.7 million, represents the residual classification for the City’s General Fund.
General Fund: The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, the General
Fund’s total fund balance increased by 40.0%, or $15.6 million from $39.5 million to $54.6 million. The following detail of
changes from the prior year explains this change in fund balance for the year:
Total operating revenues increased by $27.6 million (13.9%). Property Tax revenue increased by $4 million due to
continuation of higher assessed values within the City limits. Sales Tax revenue had the most significant increase
with the new PSVS district tax adding $17.1 million. The base (Bradley-Burns) sales tax revenue showed that there
was some level of recovery to the local economy after successive years of declines resulting in a total increase in
Sale Tax of $22.3 million. All other revenue sources within the General Fund remained fairly consistent compared to
the previous fiscal year.
Total expenditures increased by $9.4 million (a 4.7% increase). This was due to increases in the Public Safety costs
in both Police and Fire expenditures related to filling vacancies ($8.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively). This
increase was offset by a $1.8 million decrease in Public Works expenditures, specifically in the General Services
division, due to a decrease in major projects within the General Fund. Overall personnel expenditures also increased
throughout all General Fund departments due to increases in pension costs.
Other governmental funds: As compared with the prior year, the total fund balances of the remaining governmental funds
decreased by 2.2%, or $2.9 million, to $131.9 million with the following significant changes:
The Gas Tax and Road Fund decreased by $2.3 million from $15.2 million to $12.9 million. Amounts in this fund
are restricted by state and federal statute. The decrease is due to multiyear projects winding down and others in
various stages of completion.
The Capital Outlay Fund decreased by $0.5 million from $56.1 million to $55.6 million. Of this amount, $23.0
million is committed for contractual obligations and $3.6 million is committed for facility replacement. The
remaining amount of $28.0 million is assigned and available for use at management’s discretion. The resulting
decrease shows that expenditures were in line with projected revenues.
The Park Improvement Fund decreased by $0.5 million. Of this amount, $4.8 million is committed for contractual
obligations. The decrease in fund balance is from increases in expenditures for phase III of the Sports Village
Complex upgrades.
13
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
The Transportation Development Fund increased by $0.7 million from $50.8 million to $51.6 million. The entire
amount of $51.6 million is committed for contractual obligations and/or current projects. The resulting slight
increase shows that expenditures were in line with projected revenues.
Proprietary Funds - The City’s Proprietary Funds are shown in their entirety in the government-wide financial statements. All
funds are being reported as major funds, so there is no need to report additional detail elsewhere in the document.
The Wastewater Treatment Fund has total net position of $532.6 million at the end of the current year, an increase of $8.2
million over the prior year. Total net position includes $466.3 million net investment in capital assets and $20.2 million of
restricted assets which are not available to cover current expenses. The remaining net position of $46.1 million is unrestricted
and available to cover current operating and capital needs (including plant and equipment replacement) of the fund. The
majority of the increase resulted from more development completed to infrastructure in the current year which was reflected in a
$9.7 million addition in Capital Contributions and an overall increase in the Net Investment in Capital Assets of $5.6 million.
The Refuse Collection Fund has total net position of $(0.6) million at the end of the current year, a decrease of $1.7 million
from the prior year. The decrease is due to less revenue collected from residential services/rates than is necessary to cover the
operating costs of the division along with the pension and OPEB costs that are being reported as part of new accounting
requirements. Further review of the rates charged to customers will occur to establish a rate sufficient to cover these costs in
future years and to address the deficit in net position.
The River and Agricultural Water Fund has total net position of $28.9 million at the end of the current year, an increase of $4.9
million over the prior year. Total net position includes $18.0 million net investment in capital assets, which is not available to
cover current expenses. The remaining net position of $10.9 million is unrestricted and available to cover current operating and
capital needs of the fund. As in the prior year, revenues were more than sufficient to cover the fund costs resulting in this
continued increase in net position.
The Domestic Water Fund has total net position of $271.1 million at the end of the current year, an increase of $6.0 million
over the prior year. Total net position includes $220.9 million net investment in capital assets, which is not available to cover
current expenses. The remaining net position of $50.2 million is unrestricted and available to cover current operating and
capital needs of the fund.
The General Aviation Fund has total net position of $11.5 million at the end of the current year, a decrease of $2,538 compared
to the prior year. Total net position includes $10.7 million net investment in capital assets, which is not available to cover
current expenses. The remaining net position is unrestricted and available to cover current operating and capital needs of the
fund.
The Offstreet Parking Fund has total net position of $1.1 million at the end of the current year, a decrease of $83,667 compared
to the prior year. Total net position includes $1.0 million net investment in capital assets, which is not available to cover
current expenses. The remaining net position is unrestricted and available to cover current operating and capital needs of the
fund.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets - The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30 of the
current fiscal year amounts to $2.2 billion (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land,
buildings and systems, improvements, machinery and equipment, park facilities, roads, highways, bridges and construction in
progress. The total increase in the City’s investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was $28.1 million. Of this
amount, a $15.7 million increase relates to Governmental Activities and a $12.4 million increase that relates to Business-Type
Activities. Depreciation expense of $92.7 million was less than capital assets by this amount.
These financial statements include infrastructure assets constructed or acquired through fiscal year 2018-19.
Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year included the following:
A variety of street construction projects and rehabilitation of major arterial streets. Construction in progress for
governmental activities as of the end of the current fiscal year is $105.6 million. This figure includes over $103.7
million towards major street construction, traffic signals, and resurfacing projects throughout the City.
The City added over $24.9 million in new streets and roads primarily due to new residential developments completed
in the current year. These newly constructed right of ways are transferred over to the City by the various developers
when the work is finalized.

Long-Term Debt - At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had a total debt outstanding of $176.4 million. The
City’s total debt decreased by a net amount of $6.7 million during the current fiscal year. This amount is the result
of normal debt maturities.
Certificates of Participation issued by the City via the former Redevelopment Agency in 2006 carry a Reserve Fund Surety from
Ambac Assurance Company (Ambac). Moody’s Investor’s Service (Moody’s) rating on Ambac is currently “Baa1”. The
current underlying rating on the Certificates of Participation has not been revised (currently “A1”). This rating on the
Certificates of Participation reflects only the view of Moody’s, and any desired explanation of the significance of such rating
should be obtained from Moody’s. There is no assurance that such rating will continue for any given period of time or that such
rating will not be revised or withdrawn by Moody’s if, in the judgment of Moody’s, circumstances so warrant.
The 2015 Wastewater Revenue Bonds – Series A, issued by the City in 2015, which redeemed a majority of the 2007
Wastewater Revenue Bonds – Series A, has an “Aa2” rating from Moody’s and an "AA" rating from Standard & Poors. There
is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be revised or withdrawn

Management's Discussion and Analysis
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget reflect an increase in resources of $22.9 million and an
increase in appropriations of $10.1 million. Significant budgetary amendments (changes) are summarized as follows:
$0.9 million increase in various resources and appropriations due to revenues associated with open purchase orders
at the end of the previous fiscal year. Also, $1.3 million increase in various resources due to revenues associated
with prior year appropriations not spent and carried forward to this fiscal year.
$17.5 million wa s added to the budget for the new PSVS district sales tax approved by the residents of the City to
address needs throughout Bakersfield including public safety, economic development and homelessness.
$1.2 million increase in resources and appropriations for State for the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP)
specifically awarded to the the Development Services department to deal with the growing problem in the area.
$0.7 million increase in resources and appropriations for grant related projects in the Police Department.
The final amended revenue estimate budget figures in the General Fund were lower than actual revenue by $11.0 million and
appropriations were higher than actual expenditures by $8.0 million. Significant differences between budget and actual amounts
are as follows:
$10.1 million positive variance in tax revenue. This is the result of an increase in property tax revenue and sales and
use tax revenue. Property tax revenue was initially estimated to increase while Sales tax revenue were not expected
to increase at the level experienced. Projections for tax revenue were conservative in nature because of uncertainty
throughout the year on the level and sustainability of economic recovery in the area.
$1.9 million less than budgeted in intergovernmental revenue which is due primarily to this source of funds being
based on reimbursement of expenditures incurred. Some of the project activity for these awards had not moved
forward resulting in less revenue being recognized.
$1.8 million variance of appropriations over actual expenditures in Public Safety-Fire. The savings are due primarily
to salary and benefit savings from unfilled positions plus some grant funded projects that were budgeted but not
started.
$4.9 million variance of appropriations over actual expenditures in Departments other than Fire are also due
primarily to salary and benefit savings from unfilled positions.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Management's Discussion and Analysis
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS AND RATES
The key assumptions in the General Fund revenue forecast for fiscal year 2019-20 were:
1.Property tax revenue is projected to grow at 4% which is the same level as last year’s estimate as projected by Kern
County.
2.Sales and use tax revenue is projected to show a slight increase of 2% in fiscal year 2019-20, which is again the same
estimate made for fiscal year 2018-19. Sales and use tax revenues are difficult to project this year because of
slowdowns in previous years in the oil and gas industry, both locally and globally, and the economy as a whole.
While the economy has shown growth in recent years, the City continues to take a conservative approach on the
expectations of the sustainability and levels of that growth.
3.California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) approved new policies last year which have raised rates
approximately 10% for next fiscal year. Similar increases are projected for the next five fiscal years.
New items specifically addressed in the 2019-20 budget include the following:
Police Department – The Police Department’s operating budget has increased from fiscal year 2018-19 by 16.8%, totaling
$15.7 million. This increase is primarily attributable to increased costs related to the PSVS plan to increase the number of
officers and support staff in the department over the next three years.
Fire Department – The Fire Department's operating budget had a 9.2% increase from fiscal year 2018-19 totaling $3.8 million.
This increase is primarily due to the implementation of the PSVS driven plan to increase staffing by 11 in the upcoming year.
Public Works - The Public Works Department operating budget increased by $6.7 million, or 5.4%, from fiscal year 2018-19.
The budget included an addition of 7 employees (non-PSVS) as well as some operational increases related to PSVS. The
increase wa s also due to the CalPERS rate escalations as we ll as an increases in staffing in areas covered by non-General fund
revenue, specifically in operations for refuse and fleet services. In addition, there was a significant need for specific equipment
to be replaced for non-General fund services that were well beyond their normal life cycle.
Development Services – The Development Services Department’s operating budget has increased from fiscal year 2018-19 by
56.4%, totaling $6.1 million. This significant growth is due almost exclusively to PSVS related plans in the department to add
rapid response teams to address homelessness and establish an economic development team to foster further growth in the City.
Recreation and Parks – The Recreation and Parks Department’s operating budget has increased from fiscal year 2018-19 by
11.5%, totaling $2.4 million. This increase is in part also related to a PSVS program to establish a rapid response team in this
department to address homeless issues in City Parks. It is also due to the increase in CalPERS rates resulting in higher benefit
costs.

Service Funds are included in governmental activities in the Government-Wide Statement of Net
Position.12,523,756
Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore they are not
reported in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet. Noncurrent liabilities allocated from Internal

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and
Changes in Fund Balances to the Government-Wide Statement of Activities
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds $12,685,040
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are different
because:
Governmental Funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the Government-Wide
Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense.
Capital outlay expenditures are added back to fund balance.$24,857,746
Depreciation expense is deducted from fund balance (net of Internal Service Fund depreciation of
$7,219,150 which has already been allocated to serviced funds).(59,834,151)
Contributions of infrastructure and improvements by developers are capitalized in the Statement of
Activities, but are not recorded in the Governmental Fund Financial Statements because no cash
changed hands.45,841,990 10,865,585
Certain expenses are reported in the Government-Wide Statement of Activities, but they do not
require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, these expenses are not reported as
expenditures in Governmental Funds.
Net change in long-term compensated absences (367,675)
Interest expense on long-term debt 34,187
Net pension liability (12,575,866)
Net other post-employment benefits liability 6,366,854 (6,542,500)
Bond & loan proceeds provide current financial resources to Governmental Funds, but issuing
debt increases long-term liabilities in the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position.
Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in Governmental Funds, but the repayment
reduces long-term liabilities in the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position.(442,356)
Unearned revenue and other resources not available to liquidate liabilities of the current period
are not recognized in Governmental Funds. Revenue in the Statement of Activities is not limited
by availability, so certain revenues need to be reduced by the amounts that were unavailable at
the end of the year. This adjustment records a net decrease in revenues - unavailable revenues at
the beginning of the year exceed ending unavailable revenues by this amount.(844,353)
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as
insurance and fleet management, to individual funds. The net revenue of the Internal Service
Funds is reported with Governmental Activities.6,246,746
Loss on disposal of governmental capital assets is not recorded in fund activity
but is included in Governmental Activities.(269,320)
Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities $21,698,842
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
These funds account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where
the intent of the governing body is that the costs (including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on
a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that
periodic determination of net income is appropriate for accountability purposes.
Wastewater Treatment Fund is used to account for the provision of sewer service to the residents of the City and some
residents of Kern County. This fund also accounts for the activities related to the debt issuance which provided for the
Wastewater Treatment Facilities.
Refuse Collection Fund is used to account for the collection and disposal of refuse within the City. All activities necessary to
provide such services are accounted for in this fund.
River & Agricultural Water Fund is used to account for the provision of water service restricted primarily for agricultural
purposes to users within the City and some users within Kern County (some Kern River water is exchanged for State Aqueduct
water for domestic water purposes). All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund.
Domestic Water Fund is used to account for the provision of water service to some residents of the City and Kern County. All
activities necessary to provide such service are accounted for in this fund.
General Aviation Fund is used to account for the acquisition and operation of the Bakersfield Airpark. The majority of
acquisition and improvement financing for the airport facility was provided by a grant from the Federal Aviation
Administration.
Offstreet Parking Fund is used to account for the operations of the parking garage at 18th and Eye Streets and various
offstreet surface parking lots within the City. The parking garage was financed by the former Redevelopment Agency and the
related debt was retired in August 1994. Subsequently, the title was transferred to the City.
Internal Service Funds are used to provide goods and services by one department or agency to other departments or agencies
of the City on a cost reimbursement basis.

Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individual private organizations, other
governmental units and/or other funds. Detailed combining statements for Fiduciary Funds are located in the Supplementary
Information section. Below are descriptions of the generic fund types within this category and specific funds within each fund
type.
Private Purpose Trust Funds
Redevelopment Successor Agency - The Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency ceased activities in February 2012. All non-
housing related assets, liabilities and activities have been transferred to the City and are accounted for in a trust fund.
Planning Habitat Trust Fund - This fund is used to account for monies collected from developers to be used to purchase suitable
land to provide habitat for endangered species. After the land is purchased, it is transferred to the State Fish and Game
Department for maintenance.
Pension and Other Employee Benefit Trust Funds
Fire Relief and Pension Trust Fund - This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources to be used for retirement
annuity payments at appropriate amounts and times in the future for Fire Department personnel who retired prior to June 2,
1972.
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Irrevocable Trust Fund - This fund is used to account for the City's post-retirement
medical benefit plan. The City provides medical insurance coverage through contributions to eligible retirees' insurance
premiums.
Agency Funds
Special Deposits Fund - This fund is used to account for the collection by the City as agent for organizations operated under the
auspices of the Recreation Division, security deposits for utility franchises, temporary deposits for construction permits and bid
deposits. This fund is also used for the collection of police seized property, local Law Enforcement Block Grants, and other
revenues held in trust pending disposition of contingencies.
Improvement Districts Fund - This fund is used to account for the collection of liens for improvements benefiting private
properties and payments to the holders of bonds issued pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1913 and the Improvement Bond
Act of 1915. The City is in no way liable for the payment of bonded indebtedness, but the City serves as agent to collect the
principal and interest installments from the owners of the benefited properties. A trustee administers the periodic payment to the
bondholders. In addition, Community Service Districts created for the West Ming and Old River Ranch developments are
accounted for in this section. These funds are collected to be used to pay for public safety costs in the applicable communities.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements of the City of Bakersfield (the “City”) have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB). The following summary of the City’s significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader
in interpreting the basic financial statements and other data in this report. These policies should be viewed as an integral part of
the accompanying basic financial statements.
A.Description of Reporting Entity
The City of Bakersfield, California, is a California Charter City, incorporated on January 11, 1898, and serves as the county
seat of the County of Kern, California (the “County”). The City is a full-service city and operates under a Council - Manager
form of government, providing the following services as authorized by its Charter: General government; public safety; public
wo rks; and development and conservation.
As required by GAAP, these basic financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the
government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in
substance, part of the government's operations and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government.
B.Basis of Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide financial statements (the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information of
all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, eliminations have been
made to minimize the double counting on internal activities. Internal activities for services provided and used that are not
eliminated include water, solid waste and sewer services provided to various other functions of the government. These
statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the City. 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 charged to external parties.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment of the
business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that
are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Some
functions include expenses that are, in essence, indirect expenses of other functions resulting from charges among funds or
programs for centralized services. Program revenues include: 1) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by
the programs and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular
program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented instead as general revenues.
Net position is restricted when constraints placed on it are either externally imposed or are imposed by constitutional provisions
or enabling legislation. Internally imposed designations of resources are not presented as restricted net position. When both
restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, generally it is the City’s policy to use restricted resources first, then
unrestricted resources as they are needed.

B.Basis of Presentation (continued)
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
The governmental fund financial statements provide information about the City’s funds, including fiduciary funds and the
blended component unit. Separate statements for each fund category - governmental, proprietary and fiduciary - are presented.
The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column.
All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are separately aggregated and reported as non-major funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the
principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal
values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary
activities. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation
of capital assets. As used in this section, the term depreciation can include amortization of intangible assets. All expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating expenses.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund - The General Fund is the principal operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources
except those required to be accounted for in another fund. For the City, the General Fund includes basic governmental
activities, such as general government, public safety, public works, and community services.
Transient Occupancy Taxes Fund - The Transient Occupancy Taxes Fund is used to account for transient occupancy tax
revenues (hotel tax) and expenditures funded by this revenue source. The Rabobank Arena and Convention Center and the
Bakersfield Ice Sports Center operating revenues and expenditures are recorded in this fund. This fund is also used to account
for the operations of the Visit Bakersfield division of the City.
Community Development Block Grant Fund – The Community Development Block Grant Fund is used to account for resources
provided by the Federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 for the elimination of slums and blight, housing
conservation and improvements of community services.
Gas Tax & Road Fund - The Gas Tax & Road Fund is used to account for the City’s share, based upon population, of state
gasoline taxes. State law requires these gasoline taxes to be used to maintain streets or for major street construction. This fund
also accounts for other State and Federal grant revenues related to street maintenance or construction, including the Federal
earmark Thomas Roads funds.
Capital Outlay Fund - The Capital Outlay Fund is used to account for the cost of capital projects financed by local revenues and
various grant/loan proceeds for capital expenditures. This fund also accounts for the special Utility Franchise/Surcharge Fund
created by the City Council to account for the specified local road project costs funded by the selected electricity and gas
franchise surcharge fees. In addition, funds contributed by the County to be used to cover a portion of the costs of the local
match needed for the Thomas Roads projects are accounted for in this fund.
Park Improvement Fund - The Park Improvement Fund is used to account for funds collected for residential park development
(Ordinance No. 3646). Fees are collected based on the development’s share of the cost to develop, improve, construct, or
enhance a neighborhood park (Ordinance No. 3327).
Transportation Development Fund - The Transportation Development Fund is used to account for funds collected from fees
paid to mitigate the traffic impacts to the regional circulation system caused by a development project. The fees are paid when
a building permit for the development project is obtained, and are based upon the amount of traffic the development will
generate. The fee schedule was adopted with Ordinance No. 3513 and will be periodically evaluated by the City Council and
revised to reflect updated costs and growth projections.

Wastewater Treatment Fund - The Wastewater Treatment Fund is used to account for the provision of sewer service to the
residents of the City and some residents of the County. This fund also accounts for the activities related to the debt issuance,
which provided for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities.
Refuse Collection Fund - The Refuse Collection Fund is used to account for the collection and disposal of refuse within the
City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund.
River & Agricultural Water Fund - The River & Agricultural Water Fund is used to account for the provision of water service
restricted primarily for agricultural purposes to users within the City and some users within the County (some Kern River water
is exchanged for State Aqueduct water for domestic water purposes). All activities necessary to provide such services are
accounted for in this fund.
Domestic Water Fund - The Domestic Water Fund is used to account for the provision of water service to residents of the City
and County connected to the City's system. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund.
General Aviation Fund - The General Aviation Fund is used to account for the acquisition and operation of the Bakersfield
Municipal Airpark located on Union Avenue. The majority of acquisition and improvement financing for the airport facility
was provided by a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Offstreet Parking Fund - The Offstreet Parking Fund is used to account for the operations of the parking garage at 18th and Eye
Streets and various offstreet surface parking lots within the City. The parking garage was financed by the former
Redevelopment Agency and the related debt was retired in August 1994, and subsequently, the title was transferred to the City.
The City reports the following additional fund types:
Internal Service Funds - The Internal Service Funds are used to account for the cost of goods or services provided by one
department or agency to other departments or agencies of the governmental unit on a reimbursement basis. The City accounts
for its self-insurance and equipment management activities as internal service funds.
Private Purpose Trust Fund - The Planning Habitat Trust Fund is used to account for monies collected from developers to be
used to purchase suitable land to provide habitat for endangered species. After the land is purchased, it is transferred to the
State Fish and Game Department for maintenance. The City also records the assets, liabilities, and activities of the
Redevelopment Successor Agency in a separate trust fund.
Pension and Other Employee Benefit Trust Funds - The Fire Relief and Pension Trust Fund is used to account for the annuity
payments at appropriate amounts and times in the future for Fire Department personnel who retired prior to June 26, 1972. The
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Irrevocable Trust Fund is used to account for the City’s postretirement medical
benefit plan in which the City provides medical insurance coverage through contributions to eligible retirees’ insurance
premiums.
Agency Funds - The Agency Funds account for assets held by the City as an agent for various local governments or other
entities. The Special Deposits Fund is used to account for the collection by the City as agent for organizations operated under
the auspices of the Recreation Division, security deposits for utility franchises, temporary deposits for construction permits and
bid deposits. This fund is also used for the collection of police seized property, local Law Enforcement Block Grants and other
revenues held in trust pending disposition of contingencies. The Improvement Districts Fund is used to account for the
collection of liens for improvements benefiting private properties and payments to the holders of bonds issued pursuant to the
Improvement Bond Act of 1913 and the Improvement Bond Act of 1915. The City is in no way liable for the payment of
bonded indebtedness, but the City serves as agent to collect the principal and interest installments from the owners of the
benefited properties. A trustee provides the periodic payment to the bondholders. This fund also accounts for the special
assessments and taxes collected within the boundaries of Community Service Districts within the City.

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
B.Basis of Presentation (continued)
C.Basis of Accounting
The government-wide, proprietary, private purpose trust, and pension and other employee benefit trust funds are reported using
the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange
transactions, in which the City gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include
property and sales taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an accrual basis of accounting, revenue from property taxes is
recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenues from sales tax are recognized when the underlying
transactions take place. Revenues from grants, entitlements and donations are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligible
requirements have been satisfied. The agency funds utilize the accrual basis of accounting to report assets and liabilities but
technically have no measurement focus.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. Property and sales taxes, interest,
certain State and Federal grants and charges for services are accrued when their receipt occurs within sixty days after the end of
the accounting period so as to be both measurable and available. Expenditures are generally recorded when a liability is
incurred, as under the accrual basis of accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to
compensated absences and claims and judgments are recorded only when payment is due. General capital assets acquisitions
are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and capital leases are reported as other
financing sources.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary funds' principal
ongoing operations. Revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating.
D.Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Fund Balances, and Other Financial Statement Items
Cash and Investments
Cash balances of each of the City's funds, except for certain Trust and Agency Funds, are pooled and invested by the City.
Income earned from pooled investments is allocated to each of the funds based on average pooled cash balances during the
year. Deficit cash balances are classified as due to other funds and funded by the General Fund or related operating fund.
The City applies GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External
Investment Pools. This statement generally requires that investments be reported at their fair value and that all changes in fair
value be reflected as income of the period in which they occur.
Statutes authorize the City to invest in obligations of the United States Treasury, agencies and instrumentalities, commercial
paper, bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements, money market funds, and the State Treasurer's investment pool. The City's
Pension Trust Fund is also authorized to invest in corporate bonds rated A or better by a national rating system generally
recognized and used by banks and investment brokers in the United States.
Investments are comprised of obligations of the United States Treasury, agencies and instrumentalities, cash, time certificates of
deposit, mutual funds, bankers' acceptances, money market accounts, deposits in the State of California Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF), and California Asset Management Program (CAMP). Investments are stated at fair value.

D.Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Fund Balances, and Other Financial Statement Items (continued)
Interfund Transactions
Interfund transactions are reflected as either loans, services provided, reimbursements or transfers. Loans are reported as
receivables and payables as appropriate, are subject to elimination upon consolidation and are referred to as either “due to/from
other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the noncurrent portion of
interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and the business-type activities are
reported in the government-wide financial statement as “internal balances.” Advances between funds, as reported in the fund
financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not
available for appropriation and are not available financial resources.
Services provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses.
Reimbursements are when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund, and reduces its related cost as a
reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental or proprietary funds
are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide presentation.
Receivables
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade accounts receivable in
excess of 180 days comprise the trade accounts receivable allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Inventory and Prepaid Items
Inventory is valued at average cost applied on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The reserve for prepaid expenses relates to
certain payments to vendors for costs applicable to future accounting periods. The cost of both inventories and prepaid items
are recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
Capital Assets
Capital outlays are recorded as expenditures of the General, Special Revenue, and Capital Projects Funds and as assets in the
government-wide financial statements to the extent the City’s capitalization thresholds are met.
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar
items), and intangible water rights are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the
government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an estimated useful life in
excess of one year and an initial individual cost of more than $50,000 for infrastructure and $5,000 for all other capital assets.
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 in the majority of instances. When assets are donated in relation to a
service concession arrangement, they are reported at acquisition cost.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets' lives are not
capitalized. Betterments and major improvements which significantly increase values, change capacities or extend useful lives
are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

D.Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Fund Balances, and Other Financial Statement Items (continued)
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the
construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets
constructed.
Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-
line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Infrastructure 10 to 70 years
Buildings, structures and improvements 5 to 40 years
Transmission and distribution equipment 5 to 50 years
Rolling equipment 2 to 30 years
Office equipment 3 to 10 years
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and
other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or
proprietary fund type Statement of Net Position. Debt principal payments of both governmental and business-type activities are
reported as decreases in the balance of the liability on the Statement of Net Position. Bond premiums and discounts are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method.
In the fund financial statements, however, debt principal payments of governmental funds are recognized as expenditures when
paid. Governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as we ll as bond issuance costs, during the current
period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are
reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs,
whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
As required by GASB Statements No. 63 and No. 65, the City recognized applicable deferred outflows and inflows of resources
in the government-wide, governmental, and proprietary fund type financial statements.
The Statements of Net Position and Balance Sheets will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources,
defined as a consumption of net position or fund balance by the City that is applicable to a future funding period, or deferred
inflows of resources, defined as an acquisition of net position or fund balance by the City that is applicable to a future funding
period. The City has items that qualify for reporting in these categories and are detailed in a separate note disclosure.

D.Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Fund Balances, and Other Financial Statement Items (continued)
Net Position/Fund Balance
The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is categorized
as net investment in capital assets, restricted and unrestricted.
Net Investment in Capital Assets - This category groups all capital assets, including infrastructure, into one component of
net position. Accumulated depreciation and the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the acquisition,
construction or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
Restricted Net Position - This category presents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, or
regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position - This category represents net position of the City, not restricted for any project or other
purpose.
As of June 30, 2019, net position is as follows:
Governmental
Activities
Business-Type
Activities Total
Net investment in capital assets $1,316,112,930 $720,818,075 $2,036,931,005
Restricted 18,975,747 20,200,000 39,175,747
Unrestricted (193,801,803)107,638,278 (86,163,525)
Total net position $1,141,286,874 $848,656,353 $1,989,943,227
Fund balances of the governmental funds are report using a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is
bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported. Fund balances for governmental funds are
segregated as follows:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – includes net resources that cannot be spent because of their form or because of legal or
contractual limitations, and therefore must remain intact.
Restricted Fund Balance – includes net resources that have externally enforceable limitations on their use. These
limitations can be established by creditors, grantors, or by laws and regulations.
Committed Fund Balance – includes amounts with self-imposed limitations and are set in place prior to the end of the
fiscal year. Commitments are set forth by the formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, the
City Council, and the limitations require that same level of authority to be removed.
Assigned Fund Balance – includes amounts for which the intended use results in limitations but do not meet the
requirements for either the “Restricted” or “Committed” classifications. Intended use can be established by the City
Council, a governing committee or board, or by a City official designated as having that authority.
Unassigned Fund Balance – is the residual balance of the General Fund not included in the other classifications.
53
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
D.Assets, Liabilities, Net Position or Fund Balances, and Other Financial Statement Items (continued)
The City Council establishes, modifies or rescinds fund balance commitments though approval of contracts for services and
supplies that require City Council authorization through resolution. Fund balance assignments are made by agreements entered
into by department heads, and their designees, for specific purposes. The City Council also establishes fund balance
assignments through the adoption of the budget and subsequent budget amendments. Assignments are generally temporary and
as such, additional action is not usually needed for assignments to be removed. The City Council approved, through resolution,
a Fund Balance policy that established these rules for fund balance commitments and assignments in the General Fund. It was
not deemed necessary to include a policy to achieve and maintain a specific level of unrestricted fund balance in the General
Fund.
Fund Balance Flow Assumptions
The City will sometimes fund outlays for a specific purpose from restricted and unrestricted resources (committed, assigned,
and unassigned fund balance). A flow assumption must be made about the order of how these resources will be applied to
properly calculate the amounts reported as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned. It is the City’s policy to consider
restricted fund balance to be used completely before any components of unrestricted fund balance. When the components of
unrestricted fund balance are used for the same purpose, the amount classified as committed is used first, followed by assigned,
and unassigned is applied last.
Property Taxes
In 1978, a state constitutional amendment (Proposition 13) provided that the property tax rate is limited to 1% of market value.
This property tax rate limitation may only be increased through voter approval. The County is the sole agency responsible for
levying and collecting the property taxes and distributing them to taxing jurisdictions. Taxes are allocated and distributed
based upon each taxing jurisdiction's assessed valuations and upon any voter-approved debt override on the tax rate.
The property tax calendar for the City is as follows:
Valuation date January 1
Lien date March 1
Levy dates July 1 through June 30
Due dates November 1; February 1
Collection dates December 10; April 10

Pension Plan
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension
expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City's California Public Employee's 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.
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to
OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City's OPEB Plan (OPEB Plan) and additions
to/deductions from the OPEB Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by
California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit payments
when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments and participating interest-earning investment contracts
that have a maturity at the time of purchase of one year or less, are reported at cost.
Cash Flow Statements
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits, short-term investments and cash
and investments with fiscal agents. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily
convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because
of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less meet this definition.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
E.Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The procedures established by the City Council in adopting the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements are as
follows:
1.Prior to June 1, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing
the following July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2.Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3.The City Council legally enacts the budget by resolution before July 1.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any fund and approve reductions of
budgeted amounts. Since expenditures may not exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level, any revisions that alter the
total appropriations of any fund are to be approved by the City Council. Projects budgeted within the current fiscal year but not
yet completed can be re-appropriated the following fiscal year with City Manager approval. All other unencumbered
appropriations lapse at year-end. Encumbered amounts are re-appropriated in the ensuing fiscal year budget.
55
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
E.Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability (continued)
Budgets are adopted for all governmental fund types and are prepared on a basis consistent with GAAP. Budgeted amounts are
as originally adopted, or as amended by the City Council. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the City Council
approved $73,254,062 of increases to the originally adopted budget, excluding carryovers of prior year encumbered balances
and selected capital appropriations.
Deficit Net Position
The Self-Insurance Internal Service Fund reported a deficit in net position of $20,754,190 at the close of the fiscal year. The
continued deficit is the result of a significant increase in the workers' compensation liability calculated in the City’s most recent
actuarial study. Workers' compensation charges can fluctuate significantly from year to year and staff will continue to adjust
departmental rates accordingly to maintain sufficient funding levels.
Reclassification and Eliminations
Interfund balances must generally be eliminated in the government-wide financial statements, except for net residual amounts
due between governmental activities. Amounts involving fiduciary funds should be reported as external transactions. Any
allocations must reduce the expenses of the function from which the expenses are being allocated, so that expenses are reported
only once, in the function in which they are allocated.
Excess of Expenditures Over Appropriations
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, expenditures exceeded appropriations for transfers to other funds in the Transient
Occupancy Taxes Fund by $9,354. This over-expenditure relates to budgeted estimates related to anticipated loan repayment
costs for lighting upgrades at the Rabobank Arena and Convention Center facilities. The actual required payment exceeded the
estimate. There wa s also an over-expenditure in the amount of $19,704 in the General Fund for Public Safety. This overage is
related to overtime wo rked for Police Department operations. These are technically considered budgetary violations and
management will take steps to review periodic budget reports to ensure compliance in the future.
F.New Accounting Pronouncements
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 the City implemented the following standards:
GASB issued Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement Obligations. This statement addresses accounting and financial
reporting for certain asset retirement obligations (AROs). An ARO is a legally enforceable liability associated with the
retirement of a tangible capital asset. A government that has legal obligations to perform future asset retirement activities
related to its tangible capital assets should recognize a liability based on the guidance in this statement. Upon implementation,
there was no effect on the City's accounting or financial reporting.
GASB issued Statement No. 88, Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements.
The primary objective of this statement is to improve the information that is disclosed in notes to government financial
statements related to debt, including direct borrowings and direct placements. It also clarifies which liabilities governments
should include when disclosing information related to debt. Upon implementation, there wa s no effect on the City's accounting
or financial reporting.
56
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
F.New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
Recently released standards by GASB affecting future years are as follows:
In January 2017, GASB issued Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities. The objective of this statement is to improve guidance
regarding the identification of fiduciary activities for accounting and financial reporting purposes and how those activities
should be reported. The City has elected not to early implement GASB Statement No. 84 and has not determined its effects on
the City’s financial statements.
In June 2017, GASB issued Statement No. 87, Leases.The objective of this statement is to better meet the information needs of
financial statement users by improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This statement increases
the usefulness of governments’ financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that
previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the
payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that
leases are financing of the right to use an underlying asset. The City has elected not to early implement GASB Statement No. 87
and has not determined its effects on the City’s financial statements.
In June 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred Before the End of a Construction Period.
The objectives of this statement are to enhance the relevance and comparability of information about capital assets and the cost
of borrowing for a reporting period and to simplify accounting for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period.
The City has elected not to early implement GASB Statement No. 89 and has not determined its effects on the City's financial
statements.
In August 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 90, Majority Equity Interests. The objectives of this statement are to improve the
consistency and comparability of reporting a government’s majority equity interest in a legally separate organization and to
improve the relevance of financial statement information for certain component units. The City has elected not to early
implement GASB Statement No. 90 and has not determined its effects on the City's financial statements.
In May 2019, GASB issued Statement No. 91, Conduit Debt Obligations. The objectives of this statement are to provide a
single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice associated with commitments
extended by issuers, arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and related to note disclosures. The City has
elected not to early implement GASB Statement No. 91 and has not determined its effects on the City's financial statements.

Investment Authorized by Debt Agreements
The City and its component units have $368,502 in investments held by bond trustees pledged to the payment or security of
certain debt issues. These investments are held in direct obligations of, or obligations that are fully guaranteed as to principal
and interest by, the United States Government or an agency thereof. The California Government Code provides that monies
held by a bond trustee pledged to the payment or security of debt issues, in absence of specific statutory provisions governing
the issuance of the debt, may be invested in accordance with the ordinances, resolutions, or indentures specifying the types of
investments the respective bond issue’s trustee may make. The obligations described above are authorized per the investment
agreements with the bond trustees and include, but are not limited to, Federal Land Bank Bonds, Federal Home Loan Bank
notes and bonds, Export-Import Bank notes and guaranteed participation certificates, obligations of or fully guaranteed by the
Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association notes, debentures and guaranteed
certificates of participation, obligations of the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development and Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation notes.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in the market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest
rates. As part of the City’s investment policy, one of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by
purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a
portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturing evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and
liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by

Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations
Except as inherent by their nature as disclosed above, the City’s investments (including those held by a bond trustee) are not
highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligations 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

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that the City will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover
collateral securities in the possession of an outside party if a depository institution fails. The custodial credit risk for
investments is the risk that the City will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities held by another
party if the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction fails. The California Government Code and City’s investment
policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments,
other than the following provision applicable to deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution
secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a
depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the
collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows
financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured
public deposits.
As of June 30, 2019, all of the City’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits were
held in fully collateralized accounts, as permitted by the California Government Code. As of June 30, 2019, all of the City’s
investments were held by the City itself or by a broker-dealer (counterparty) other than the broker-dealer used by the City to
purchase the securities in the City’s name.
Investment in State Investment Pools
Investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is established quarterly based on quoted market prices received from the
securities custodian. Fair value of investments held fluctuates with interest rates. The fair value of participants’ position in the
pool is the same as the value of the pool shares. The value of participants’ equity withdrawn is based on the book value of the
participants’ percentage participation at the date of such withdrawal.
The California State Treasurer’s Office operates the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). The LAIF is available for
investment of funds administered by California local governments and special districts and is not registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. The enabling legislation for the LAIF is Section 16429.1 et seq.
of the California Government Code. California Asset Management Program (CAMP) is a California Joint Powers Authority
established in 1989 to provide California public agencies with professional investment services. The CAMP Pool is a permitted
investment for all local agencies under California Government Code Section 53601(p).
The LAIF and CAMP operate and report to participants on an amortized cost basis. For both the LAIF and CAMP, the income,
gains, and losses, net of administration fees, are allocated based upon the participant’s average daily balance. Deposits in the
LAIF and CAMP are not insured or otherwise guaranteed by the State of California, and participants share proportionally in any
realized gains or losses on investments. The fair value of the LAIF and CAMP investment pools are approximately equal to the
value of the pool shares.
Fair Value Measurement
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting
principles. The hierarchy used to measure the fair value of the asset is based on the following:
Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities, that each fund has the ability
to access.
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including each fund's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments).
The City has a reported fair value of investments of $492,567,705, of which $193,346,473 are valued using Level 1 inputs.

NOTE 8 -INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
Interfund transactions are comprised of loans, services provided, reimbursements, or transfers. Loans are reported as amounts
“due to/due from” other funds or as “advances,” as appropriate, and are subject to elimination upon consolidation. Services
provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses. Reimbursements
occur when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund, and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All
other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental activities and business-type activities are
netted as part of the consolidation required to produce the government-wide financial statements.

modified accrual basis of accounting revenue may be recognized only when earned. Assets recognized in connection with a
transaction before the earnings process is complete are offset by a corresponding liability for advances from grantors and third

Water Agency (KCWA). The agreement entitles the City to receive 6,500 acre feet of water per year in exchange for annual
payments tied to KCWA’s Water Revenue certificates of participation from 2006 and 2008, which were used for the expansion
of its wa ter treatment facility. On March 1, 2016, KCWA issued Water Revenue Refunding Bonds. These new bonds refunded
the previous debt that the City's lease payments were based upon. The City’s lease payments coincide with the amortization
schedule for the related KCWA debt with the value of the related water rights at $17,671,298. The total lease obligation for the
term of this agreement is as follows:

NOTE 12 -PLEDGED REVENUES
The City has pledged net revenues generated by the Wastewater Enterprise Fund to repay a total of $151.5 million in
wastewater revenue bonds series 2015A issued to finance a portion of the expansion and improvement of the City's wastewater
and sewage collection and disposal system.
Each fiscal year, net revenues means all revenues of the enterprise fund received during the fiscal year less operation and
maintenance costs for that fiscal year. The pledge of net revenues does not constitute a lien upon any property of the City.
Proceeds of the bonds provided financing for expansion and upgrade of Wastewater Treatment Plant #3, and improvements to
Wastewater Treatment Plant #2. The bonds are payable through 2034 for 2015A bonds. The covenants of the ordinances
authorizing the bonds include, among other things, an obligation of the City to fix, prescribe, revise, and collect rates, fees, and
charges for the services and facilities of the system and revise the same whenever necessary, which will provide gross revenues
in each fiscal year sufficient to pay the cost of operation and maintenance of the system; one hundred twenty five percent
(125%) of the bond service requirement becoming due in such fiscal year on the outstanding bonds; plus one hundred percent
(100%) of all reserve and other payments required to be made pursuant to the ordinances authorizing the bonds.
NOTE 13 -DEFERRED INFLOWS OF RESOURCES
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources,
and Net Position, and GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, the City recognized
deferred inflows of resources in the governmental fund financial statements. These items are an acquisition of net fund balance
by the City that is applicable to a future reporting period. Previous financial reporting standards do not include guidance for
reporting those financial statement elements, which are distinct from assets and liabilities. Under the modified accrual basis of
accounting, it is not enough that revenue has been earned if it is to be recognized in the current period. Revenue must also be
susceptible to accrual (i.e., measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period). Governmental funds report
deferred revenues in connection with receivables for revenues not susceptible to accrual, as deferred inflows of resources.
Deferred inflows of resources balances for the year ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

Plan, the Safety Fire Plan, and the Safety Police Plan, all of which are included in the Public Agency portion of the California
Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS).
Miscellaneous Plan
Plan Description
The City’s Miscellaneous Plan is a defined benefit pension plan that provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-
living adjustments (COLA), and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The Miscellaneous Plan is an agent
multiple-employer plan administered by CalPERS, which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for
participating public employers within the State of California. A menu of benefit provisions, as we ll as other requirements, is
established by State statutes within the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The City selects optional benefit provisions from
the benefit menu by contract with CalPERS and adopts those benefits through local ordinance. CalPERS issues a separate
comprehensive annual financial report. Copies of the CalPERS' annual financial report may be obtained from their Executive
Office - 400 P Street – Sacramento, CA 95814.
Benefits Provided
The benefits provided through the CalPERS Miscellaneous Plan include retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living
adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The City has three tiers through CalPERS under the
Miscellaneous employee plan. Tier I is applicable to all employees hired before August 20, 2008 with a formula of 3% at age
60. Earliest retirement age is 50 with final compensation based on 12 months at the highest rate of pay received. Tier II is
applicable to employees hired after August 20, 2008 and before January 1, 2013 with a formula of 2.7% at age 55. Earliest
retirement age is 50 with final compensation based on 36 months at the highest rate of pay received. Tier III is applicable to
employees hired after January 1, 2013 with a formula of 2% at age 62, which is a result of the Public Employees' Pension
Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA). PEPRA also lowered the final compensation and contribution requirements. Earliest retirement
age is 52 with final compensation, subject to the PEPRA limit of $149,016, based on 36 months at the highest rate of pay
received.
Contributions and Employees Covered
Active plan members in the CalPERS Miscellaneous Plan may be required to contribute a particular percent of their annual pay
depending on the applicable plan they fall under. Tier I and Tier II employees will pay 8% of their salary while those
employees under PEPRA (Tier III) will pay 5.5% of their salary. In addition, employees in Tier I and Tier II have 7.5% of their
contribution picked-up by the City after five years of service.
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer contribution rates for
all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a
change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The
actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the
year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference
between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees. It is the responsibility of the employer to make
necessary accounting adjustments to reflect the impact due to any Employer Paid Member Contributions or situations where
members are paying a portion of the employer contribution.
As of June 30, 2018 (the measurement date), there are 947 active employees and 913 inactive employees or beneficiaries
receiving benefits. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the employee contribution rate was 7.588 percent of annual pay, and
the employer’s minimum contribution rate was 26.346 percent of annual payroll. Employer contribution rates may change if
plan contracts are amended.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2018 (the measurement date), the total pension liability was determined by rolling
forward the June 30, 2017 total pension liability. The June 30, 2017 and the June 30, 2018 total pension liabilities were based
on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Asset Valuation Method
Fair Value of Assets. For details, see
June 30, 2015 Funding Valuation
Report
Inflation Rate 2.75%
Salary Increases Varies by Entry Age and Service
Payroll Growth 3.00%
Investment Rate of Return 7.50% [a]
Mortality [b]
[a] Net of Pension Plan Investment and Administrative Expenses; includes inflation.
[b] Pre-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include 20 years of projected mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale BB. For more details on this table, please
refer to the 2014 experience study report.
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2018 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study
dated January 2014 which was derived from data collected for the period from 1997 to 2011, including updates to salary
increases, mo rtality and retirement rates. The 2014 Experience Study report can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms
and Publications.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15 percent. To determine whether the municipal bond rate
should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each 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, none of the tested plans
run out of assets. Therefore, the current 7.15 percent discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate
calculation is not necessary. The long-term expected discount rate of 7.15 percent is applied to all plans in the Public
Employees Retirement Fund. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called “GASB Crossover Testing Report”
that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under the GASB Statement No. 68 section.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which
expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for
each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return
expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected
compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a
building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits
was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return
that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term
returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account
for assumed administrative expenses.

Recognition of Gains and Losses
Under GASB Statement No. 68, gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are
recognized in pension expense systematically over time.
The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are
categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future
pension expense.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual
earnings is a five year straight-line amortization. All other amounts are amortized using straight-line amortization over the
average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the
beginning of the measurement period.
The expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) for the plan for the June 30, 2018 measurement date is 3.7 years,
which is obtained by dividing the total service years of 10,005 (the sum of remaining lifetimes of active employees) by 2,685
(the total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired). Note that inactive employees and retirees have remaining service
lifetimes equal to 0. Also note that total future service is based on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event
other than receiving a cash refund.
Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
As of the start of the measurement period (July 1, 2018), the net pension liability/(asset) is $169,275,636. For the measurement
period ending June 30, 2018 (the measurement date), the City incurred a pension expense/(income) of $19,354,840 for the plan.
Note that no adjustments have been made for contributions subsequent to the measurement date. Adequate treatment of any
contributions made after the measurement date is the responsibility of the employer.
As of June 30, 2019, the City had deferred outflows of resources related to pensions of $18,084,329 for contributions made
subsequent to the measurement date, $13,333,762 for changes of assumptions, and $1,330,337 for the net difference between
projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments. Deferred inflows of resources related to pensions we re $2,239,589
for changes in assumptions and $7,583,774 for differences between expected and actual experiences.
Amounts reported as deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in future pension
revenue and expense amortized annually as follows:

retirement age is 50 with final compensation based on 12 mo nths at the highest rate of pay received. Tier II is applicable to
employees hired after January 1, 2011 and before January 1, 2013 with a formula of 2.0% at age 50. Earliest retirement age is
50 with final compensation based on 36 months at the highest rate of pay received. Tier III is applicable to employees hired
after January 1, 2013 with a formula of 2% at age 57, which is a result of PEPRA. PEPRA also lowered the final compensation
and contribution requirements. Earliest retirement age is 50 with final compensation, subject to the PEPRA limit of $149,016,
based on 36 months at the highest rate of pay received.
Contributions and Employees Covered
Active plan members in the CalPERS Safety Fire Plan may be required to contribute a particular percent of their annual pay
depending on the applicable plan they fall under. Tier I and Tier II employees will pay 9% of their salary while those
employees under PEPRA (Tier III) will pay 11% of their salary. In addition, employees in Tier I have 8% of their contribution
picked-up by the City after five years of service.
Section 20814(c) of the California PERL requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined

Benefits Provided
The benefits provided through the CalPERS Safety Police Plan include retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living
adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The City has three tiers through CalPERS under the Safety
Police employee plan. Tier I is applicable to all employees hired before January 1, 2011 with a formula of 3% at age 50.
Earliest retirement age is 50 with final compensation based on 12 months at the highest rate of pay received. Tier II is
applicable to employees hired after January 1, 2011 and before January 1, 2013 with a formula of 2.0% at age 50. Earliest
retirement age is 50 with final compensation based on 36 months at the highest rate of pay received. Tier III is applicable to
employees hired after January 1, 2013 with a formula of 2% at age 57, which is a result of the PEPRA. PEPRA also lowered
the final compensation and contribution requirements. Earliest retirement age is 50 with final compensation, subject to the
PEPRA limit of $149,016, based on 36 months at the highest rate of pay received.
Contributions and Employees Covered
Active plan members in the CalPERS Safety Police Plan may be required to contribute a particular percent of their annual pay
depending on the applicable plan they fall under. Tier I and Tier II employees will pay 9% of their salary while those
employees under PEPRA (Tier III) will pay 12.50% of their salary. In addition, employees in Tier I have 8% their contribution
picked-up by the City after five years of service.
Section 20814(c) of the California PERL requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined
on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan
contributions are determined through CalPERS’ annual actuarial valuation process. The actuarially determined rate is the
estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to
finance any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined
rate and the contribution rate of employees.
As of June 30, 2018 (the measurement date), there are 373 active employees and 432 inactive employees or beneficiaries
receiving benefits. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the employee contribution rate was 9.671 percent of annual pay, and
the employer’s minimum contribution rate was 46.810 percent of annual payroll. Employer contribution rates may change if
plan contracts are amended.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2018 (the measurement date), the total pension liability was determined by rolling
forward the June 30, 2017 total pension liability. The June 30, 2017 and the June 30, 2018 total pension liabilities were based
on the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Asset Valuation Method
Fair Value of Assets. For details, see
June 30, 2015 Funding Valuation
Report
Inflation Rate 2.75%
Salary Increases Varies by Entry Age and Services
Payroll Growth 3.00%
Investment Rate of Return 7.50%[a]
Mortality[b]
[a] Net of Pension Plan Investment and Administrative Expenses; includes inflation.
[b] Pre-retirement and Post-retirement mortality rates include 20 years of projected mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale BB. For more details on this table, please
refer to the 2014 experience study report.
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2017 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study
dated January 2014 which was derived from data collected for the period from 1997 to 2011, including updates to salary
increases, mo rtality and retirement rates. The 2014 Experience Study report can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under Forms
and Publications.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15 percent. To determine whether the municipal bond rate
should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each 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, none of the tested plans
run out of assets. Therefore, the current 7.15 percent discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate
calculation is not necessary. The long-term expected discount rate of 7.15 percent is applied to all plans in the Public
Employees Retirement Fund. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called “GASB Crossover Testing Report”
that can be obtained at CalPERS’ website under the GASB Statement No. 68 section.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which
expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for
each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return
expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected
compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years) and the long-term (11+ years) using a
building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits
was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the rounded single equivalent expected return
that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term
returns. The expected rate of return was then set equal to the the single equivalent rate calculated above and adjusted to account
for assumed administrative expenses.

Recognition of Gains and Losses
Under GASB Statement No. 68, gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are
recognized in pension expense systematically over time.
The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are
categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and are to be recognized in future
pension expense.
The amortization period differs depending on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual
earnings is a five year straight-line amortization. All other amounts are amortized using straight-line amortization over the
average expected remaining service lives of all members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the
beginning of the measurement period.
The expected average remaining service lifetime (EARSL) for the plan for the June 30, 2018 measurement date is 5.4 years,
which is obtained by dividing the total service years of 4,910 (the sum of remaining lifetimes of active employees) by 907 (the
total number of participants: active, inactive, and retired). Note that inactive employees and retirees have remaining service
lifetimes equal to 0. Also note that total future service is based on the members’ probability of decrementing due to an event
other than receiving a cash refund.
Pension Expenses and Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
As of the start of the measurement period (July 1, 2018), the net pension liability/(asset) is $184,067,614. For the measurement
period ending June 30, 2018 (the measurement date), the City incurred a pension expense/(income) of $23,640,709 for the plan.
Note that no adjustments have been made for contributions subsequent to the measurement date. Adequate treatment of any
contributions made after the measurement date is the responsibility of the employer.
As of June 30, 2019, the City had deferred outflows of resources related to pensions of $18,902,246 for contributions made
subsequent to the measurement date, $18,750,746 for changes of assumptions, $3,696,138 for differences between expected
and actual experiences and $846,211 for the net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments.
Deferred inflows of resources related to pensions were $4,124,998 for changes in assumptions and $2,326,656 for differences
between expected and actual experiences.

NOTE 17 -OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
Single Employer OPEB
Plan description: In addition to the employee retirement benefits described in Note 16, the City provides a single-employer
Post-Employment Retiree Medical Benefit Plan in accordance with a resolution approved by City Council. Two primary plans
exist. All employees with a retirement date prior to January 1, 1985 were eligible for benefits upon retirement. Post-1985
employees must retire with fifteen years accumulated service upon retirement to participate. The service requirement is waived
for safety employees who retire with a job-related disability.
Employees hired after the dates listed below will not participate in either of the retiree health subsidy programs mentioned:
Miscellaneous Employees February 22, 2006
Management and Supervisory March 22, 2006
Fire Safety May 5, 2006
Police Safety May 24, 2006
Benefits provided: For employees hired prior to the dates listed above, the City provides lifetime postretirement medical
benefits for eligible retirees and qualified dependents with a choice of three medical options: Blue Shield PPO, Kaiser High
Deductible Health Plan, and Kaiser Permanente HMO. Mental Health benefits are carved out and provided through Optum
Behavioral Health. After reaching eligibility for Medicare, retirees are offered a choice of Blue Shield PPO, Blue Shield
Medicare Advantage HMO or Kaiser Senior Advantage HMO. Retirees may also elect dental coverage but must self-pay the
premiums for such coverage. Vision coverage is not offered to retirees. Retiree rates are unblended from employee rates.
Employees covered by benefit terms: At June 30, 2019 the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently
receiving benefit payments 757
Active employees 513
1,270
Contributions. The City contributes 3% of the lowest single-party rate per year of service to a maximum of 90%. If the dollar
amount is greater than the premium for a retiree covered under one of the Medicare Advantage plans, the retiree receives a cash
reimbursement of the difference to a maximum of $42.50 per month. The City also contributes 42% of the Blue Shield PPO for
all retirees who elect the Blue Shield PPO plan, excluding Miscellaneous employees hired after April 1, 1996 and Safety
employees hired after April 1, 1998. The City has approximately 513 active employees who are eligible for the same level of
post-employment benefits and 757 retirees (and/or dependents) currently receiving benefits as of the actuarial dated June 30,
2019. There is not a separate, audited GAAP-basis pension report available for the Post-Employment Retiree Medical Benefit
Plan.

Net OPEB Liability
The City's net OPEB liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB
liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date.
Actuarial assumptions. The total OPEB liability as of June 30, 2018 was determined by an actuarial valuations as of June 30,
2018. The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2018 valuation were based on the December 2017 experience study
performed by the CalPERS actuary derived from the data collected during fiscal years 1997 to 2015.

The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB Plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which
expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of OPEB Plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for
each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected
future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage, and by adding expected inflation and subtracting expected
investment expenses and a risk margin. The target allocation and projected arithmetic real rates of return, after deducting
inflation, but before deducting investment expenses, used in the derivation of the long-term expected rate of return assumption
are summarized in the following table:

Discount rate. The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 5.00% as of June 30, 2018 and 5.00% as of June
30, 2017. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be
made at the current contribution rate and that City contributions will be made at the rates equal to the actuarially determined
contribution rates. For this purpose, only City contributions that are intended to fund benefits of current plan members and their
beneficiaries are included. Projected City contributions that are intended to fund the service costs of future plan members and
their beneficiaries, as well as projected contributions from future plan members, are not included. Based on those assumptions,
the OPEB Plan's assets were projected to be sufficient to make all projected OPEB payments for current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB Plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit
payments to determine the total OPEB liability as of both June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

NOTE 19 -RISK MANAGEMENT
Self-Insurance
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions;
injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City established a Self-Insurance Fund (an internal service fund) to account for
and finance its uninsured risks of loss. Under this program, the Self-Insurance Fund provides coverage for up to $500,000 for
each workers’ compensation claim and $1,000,000 for each liability claim. The City participates in a joint powers authority for
workers’ compensation claims in excess of coverage provided by the fund up to statutory limits and participates in a joint
powers authority for any excess liability claims. All funds of the City participate in the program and are charged for their share
of claim expenditures. The claims liability of $48,527,301 at June 30, 2019 is based on the requirements of GASB Statement
No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements
indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss
can be reasonably estimated. An estimate of incurred but not reported claims has been included in the liability based on the
various percentages of loss reserves.

Joint Powers Authority
The City has obtained excess liability coverage through the Authority for California Cities Excess Liability (ACCEL), a joint
powers authority of medium-size California municipalities. ACCEL pools catastrophic general liability, automobile liability
and public officials' errors and omissions losses, or purchases excess insurance, depending on market conditions. Each
member's share of pooled costs will depend on the catastrophic losses of all the members. In addition, the cost to a member city
will also depend on that member's own loss experience. Entities with a consistent record of costly claims will pay more than
entities with a consistent record of less serious claims activity.
In order to provide funds to pay claims, or purchase excess insurance, ACCEL collects a deposit from each member. The
deposits will be credited with investment income at the rate earned on ACCEL's investments. Based on information received
from ACCEL as of June 30, 2019, the City had $617,875 on deposit with ACCEL out of a total of approximately $7,945,076.
The following municipalities are also members of ACCEL: Palo Alto, Santa Barbara, Visalia, Modesto, Ontario, Santa
Monica, Anaheim, Santa Cruz, Mountain View, Burbank, Monterey, and Gardena. A representative from each member city,
appointed to the position by their respective city councils, serves on the Board of Directors (Board) of ACCEL. The Board is
responsible for deciding the risks ACCEL will underwrite, monitoring the costs of large claims and arranging financial
programs. Each member of the Board has an equal vote in matters concerning ACCEL.
As of June 30, 2019, ACCEL had no long-term debt. Included in total liabilities is an estimated retrospectively rated refund of
$11,019,607. Complete financial statements of ACCEL can be obtained at the City’s Finance Department at 1600 Truxtun
Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93301.

the City Attorney, the potential liability of the City for such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
statements of the City. Also, the City has certain commitments under long-term construction projects which will be funded out
of future revenues.
The entire capacity of the former sanitary landfill has been used. The State has required environmental closure and capping of
the City's former sanitary landfill and remediation of the adjacent burn dump. Although these two waste disposal areas are
adjacent to each other, the City completed the remediation of the burn dump separately, through the State's Expedited Remedial
Action Program, in 1998. The cost of remediation for the burn dump of $1.8 million was funded by the City's Refuse Service
Fund and was expensed in prior fiscal years. The landfill closure was completed in May 2013 at a cost of $4.8 million. The
City’s net share of this joint City/County project was approximately $3 million. Kern County reimbursed the City for the
remaining $1.8 million.
The City will be required to perform post-closure monitoring and maintenance of the landfill after it is closed and capped. This
will result in an ongoing annual cost of approximately $150,000. The City will be responsible for about $125,000 of these
annual charges because mo st of these costs will be for the landfill gas management system, which is the City's responsibility.
Kern County will be responsible for reimbursing the City for the remainder. City management anticipates all closure and post-
closure costs being covered by annual Refuse Service Fund revenues. These estimates of cost are subject to future adjustment
for inflation or deflation, technology, or applicable laws or regulations.

Improvement Fund, and the Transportation Development Fund for the interest revenue adjustment that wa s made, 3) to adjust
prior year expenses in the Transportation Development Fund for expenses that we re found to no longer be eligible for federal

BUDGETARY INFORMATION
Through the budget process, the City Council sets the direction of the City, allocates its resources and establishes its priorities.
The Annual Budget assures the efficient and effective use of the City's economic resources, as well as establishing that the
highest priority objectives are accomplished. Budgets are adopted for all governmental fund types and are prepared on a basis
consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Annual Budget serves from July 1 to June 30, and is a vehicle that accurately and openly communicates these priorities to
the community, businesses, vendors, employees and other public agencies. Additionally, it establishes the foundation of
effective financial planning by providing resource planning, performance measures and controls that permit the evaluation and
adjustment of the City's performance.
The City's budget is prepared and based on four expenditure categories: personnel, supplies and services, minor capital outlay
and capital improvement programs. The first three listed are considered operational in nature and known as recurring costs.
Capital improvement projects are asset acquisitions, facilities systems, and infrastructure improvements typically over $50,000,
and/or those items "outside" of the normal operational budget. These are known as one-time costs.
The City collects and records revenue and expenditures within the following categories:
Governmental Activities
Business-Type Activities
The Governmental Funds include the General Fund, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects funds. All funding
sources are kept separate for both reporting and use of the money. The General Fund is where most City services are funded
that are not required to be segregated.
The budget process begins as a team effort in January of each year, starting with an annual strategic planning meeting. Then the
individual departments use projected revenue assumptions to prioritize and recommend the next fiscal year's objectives. The
City Manager's Office and the Finance Department review all budget proposals and revenues assumptions, as well as all current
financial obligations before preparing the document that is proposed to the City Council. The City Council reviews the
Proposed Budget through a series of workshops, and the final adoption of the budget is normally scheduled for the second City
Council meeting each June.
At the beginning of each fiscal year, certain appropriations are "carried forward" from the prior budget year. These items
generally relate to either open encumbrances that exist at June 30, or capital projects that were budgeted in the prior fiscal year
that did not progress to the encumbrance stage as of June 30. The City Manager's Office approves all carryovers that are not
encumbered as of June 30 of each year.
The amounts carried forward from fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 to fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 totaled $314,050,835.

Notes to Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios:
Benefit Changes: The figures above do not include any liability impact that may have resulted from plan changes which occurred after the June 30, 2015 valuation date. This applies for
voluntary benefit changes as well as any offers of Two Years Additional Service Credit (a.k.a. Golden Handshakes).
Changes of Assumptions: In 2017, the accounting discount rate reduced from 7.65 percent to 7.15 percent. In 2016, there were no changes. In 2015, amounts reported reflect an
adjustment of the discount rate from 7.5 percent (net of administrative expense) to 7.65 percent (without a reduction for pension plan administrative expense). In 2014, amounts reported
were based on the 7.5 percent discount rate.

Notes to Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios:
Benefit Changes: The figures above do not include any liability impact that may have resulted from plan changes which occurred after the June 30, 2015 valuation date. This applies for
voluntary benefit changes as well as any offers of Two Years Additional Service Credit (a.k.a. Golden Handshakes).
Changes of Assumptions: In 2017, the accounting discount rate reduced from 7.65 percent to 7.15 percent. In 2016, there were no changes. In 2015, amounts reported reflect an
adjustment of the discount rate from 7.5 percent (net of administrative expense) to 7.65 percent (without a reduction for pension plan administrative expense). In 2014, amounts reported
were based on the 7.5 percent discount rate.

funded by this revenue source. The Rabobank Arena and Convention Center and Bakersfield Ice Sports Center operating
revenues and expenditures are recorded in this fund. This fund is also used to account for duties performed by Visit Bakersfield.
Community Development Block Grant Fund is used to account for resources provided by the Federal Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 for the elimination of slums and blight, housing conservation and improvements of
community services.
Neighborhood Stabilization Fund is used to account for resources provided by the Federal Housing and Economic Recovery
Act of 2008 to address congressionally identified needs of abandoned and foreclosed homes in the City. These funds are used
for down payment assistance, acquisition of Real Estate Owned (REO) lender assets properties that have been foreclosed upon
for redevelopment, rehabilitation of acquired residential structures, and demolition of blighted structures.
Gas Tax & Road Fund is used to account for the City's share, based upon population, of state gasoline taxes. State law
requires these gasoline taxes be used to maintain streets or for major street construction. This fund also accounts for the
resources provided by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP21). Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality (CMAQ) funds are used in the metropolitan Bakersfield area to fund transportation projects in the Transportation
Improvement Program. The Regional Surface Transportation Program (STP) is funded by Federal aid functionally classified
higher than local road or rural minor collector routes. The Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEA) Program projects have
a direct relationship to the intermodal transportation system by function, proximity, or impact. Lastly, the Highway Bridge
Replacement and Rehabilitation Program (HBRR) allows each local agency two bridge replacement projects and two
miscellaneous projects per year.
State (TDA) Transportation Fund is used to account for three Transportation Development Act (TDA) funding sources.
Article 3 funds must be used to construct facilities that specifically benefit pedestrians and/or bicyclists. Article 4 funds are
Local Transportation and State Transit Assistance Funds. These resources are used to cover the City's maintenance and
operation costs of the Bakersfield Amtrak Railway Station. The City is the owner of the station and leases the facility to
Amtrak, who operates the transit service. Article 4 funds may also be used for various improvements at bus stops throughout the
City. Article 8 funds represent the City's allocation of the 1/4% of sales tax authorized by Senate Bill (SB) 325. State law
requires these sales tax dollars be used for street purposes. These funds are received and expended by the City as lead agency
servicing the local road network. All three revenue resources are accounted for individually as required by the State of
California but are combined for financial reporting purposes. The City currently receives only Article 3 and Article 4 money.
State Safety Fund is used to account for specific revenue received for certain Police and Fire related programs. The City
Police Department has a share of traffic fine resources which are transferred to the General Fund to assist in funding the cost of
traffic safety and control devices and State of California monies from the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services grant. The
Fire Department operates a local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) which is required for state and federal
environmental regulation. These revenue sources are accounted for individually as required by the State, but combined for
financial reporting purposes.
Redevelopment Successor Agency Housing Fund was created on February 1, 2012, pursuant to the provisions of the
Redevelopment Restructuring Act. The City has chosen to assume the housing functions and take over the housing assets of the
former Redevelopment Agency.

Capital Projects Funds
These funds account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities other than
those financed by Proprietary Funds and Trust Funds.
Capital Outlay Fund is used to account for the cost of capital projects financed by general revenues and grant/loan proceeds
for recreational facilities.
Park Improvement Fund is used to account for funds collected for residential park development (Ordinance No. 3646). Fees
are collected based on the development's share of the cost to develop, improve, construct or enhance a neighborhood park
(Ordinance No. 3327).
Transportation Development Fund is used to account for funds collected from fees paid to mitigate the traffic impacts to the
regional circulation system caused by a development project. The fees are paid when a building permit for the development
project is obtained, and are based upon the amount of traffic the development will generate. With these fees, the City constructs
projects that have been identified as necessary to maintain the level of services required by the 2010 General Plan for the
regional transportation network. This is a joint City and Kern County program which affects the entire metropolitan area. Fees
are collected with the building permit and are based on the relative impact each land use has on the transportation network. The
fee schedule was adopted with Ordinance No. 3513 and will be periodically evaluated by the City Council and revised to reflect
updated costs and growth projections. Revenue from fees collected may also be used to service bonded debt incurred in Capital
Improvement Construction.

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

(1) In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount.
This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed
amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved
bonds.
(2) Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all
overlapping rates apply to all City property owners.
(3) City's share of 1.00% Levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the City. Educational
Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) general fund tax shifts are not included in tax ratio figures. The effective City rate after ERAF is 9.9%.
(4) Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the City of Bakersfield.
