INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the
Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos
Los Gatos, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the Town of Los
Gatos (the “Town”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the Town’s basic financial statements, and have issued our
report thereon dated December 6, 2022.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Town’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town’s internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in
the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control
over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these
limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial
reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses.However, material weaknesses may exist that
have not been identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Town’s financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance wit h which could have a direct and
material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion
on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not

express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR THE MAJOR FEDERAL
PROGRAM AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE, AND
REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the
Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos
Los Gatos, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the Town of Los Gatos (the Town)'s compliance with the types of compliance
requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct
and material effect on each of the Town’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2022.
The Town’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the Town complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for
the year ended June 30, 2022.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major federal programs
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government
Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200,
Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
(Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and Uniform Guidance are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the Town and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for
each major federal programs. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Town ’s
compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements
of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the
Town’s federal programs.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an
opinion on the Town’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always
detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance
resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance
with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial
likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable
user of the report on compliance about the Town’s compliance with the requirements of each major
federal programs.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform
Guidance, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on
a test basis, evidence regarding the Town’s compliance with the compliance requirements
referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
Obtain an understanding of the Town’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report
on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town’s internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over
compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency , or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal
program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important
enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify
all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal
control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of
the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of Town as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and
have issued our report thereon dated December 6, 2022, which contained an unmodified opinion on
those financial statements. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is
presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a required
part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived
from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and re conciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements as a whole.

minimus indirect cost rate as allowed under Uniform Guidance.

Section II -Financial Statement Findings
No findings noted.
Section III -Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs
Finding:2021-001
Condition:On April 21, 2020, the Town Council approved a waiver of rent and utilities for a set of
nonprofit lessees. When preparing a listing of grant expenditures for reporting to the State,
the Town chose to use their rent and utility waivers as a qualifying expenditure.Per the
Coronavirus Relief Fund (Fund) program guidance in the Federal Register dated January 15,
2021, revenue replacement is not a permissible use of Funds under this program.
Status: Implemented.
The Town’s previous independent auditor had opined that the Town’s efforts to provide
economic relief in the form of waivers of rent (rent forgiveness) to a number of non-profits
and other entities should be considered as “lost revenue” and therefore disallowable because
lost revenue is precluded as an expenditure for the CARES act. Based on the Town’s
understanding of the CARES act rent forgiveness support was classified as eligible under the
Small business assistance category of expenditures. As such, the Town Council opted to
assist these groups by forgiving their rent (a voluntary write-off of rents due to the Town) to
support these entities during the height of the pandemic. If the Federal Government
determines that this cost were to be disallowed, the Town has significant other qualifying
expenditures in categories such as payroll for public safety that could be substituted for the
small business rental assistance.
In response to the questioned finding on waivers of rent, staff received approval from the
State of California Department of Finance to re-allocate the questioned costs amount of
$94,988 from business support (rent waivers) to public safety payroll. The department
reviewed the Town’s submittal and on June 1, 2022 the Town received the department’s
approval of the re-allocation as corrected in the State’s Corona Virus Fund Reporting
worksheet.
