TOWN OF LOS GATOS
CALIFORNIA
ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED
JUNE 30, 2023
PREPARED BY THE OFFICE OF THE TOWN MANAGER
TOWN HISTORY
Los Gatos is located at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains at the southwest edge of Santa Clara County
and approximately 50 miles south of San Francisco. The natural landscape includes picturesque hillsides,
creeks, and valley flatlands. Los Gatos is in an area once occupied by Indigenous People, who lived
sustainably in the area rich with fertile soils, abundant wildlife, and other natural resources.
The name Los Gatos comes from “El Rancho de Los Gatos,” a ranch established in 1839 by a Mexican land
grant and so named because of the large number of mountain lions in the area. In 1854, James Alexander
Forbes purchased some of this land and built a flour mill. In 1860, the first hotel was opened to provide
a stage stop on the toll road which had been built between San Jose and Santa Cruz.
Wheat production gave way to orchards, and rapid growth ensued when the railroad reached Los Gatos
in 1878. The residential subdivisions of Broadway, Bayview, Fairview, and Almond Grove were built in the
1880’s. By 1887, the population had grown to 1,500 and the Los Gatos community voted to incorporate.
Fruit industries faded slowly during the Depression and World War II, but the postwar period brought an
influx of people, producing residential and commercial development. Highway 17 was constructed
through the center of town, opening in 1940. Growth levelled off in the early 1970’s, leaving Los Gatos
with its small-town atmosphere and pedestrian-oriented downtown.
Because of its distance from other centers of population, Los Gatos developed as a complete community
including residential, business, and industrial elements. Preserving Los Gatos as a complete and well-
balanced community has been and remains a prominent goal of residents. From the first 100-acre town
site in 1890 with a population of 1,652, Los Gatos grew slowly so that by 1963 the area was 6.3 square
miles, with a population of 11,750. Today Los Gatos covers nearly 15 square miles and has a population
of about 33,102. This growth over the first 80 years resulted in a human scale community with narrow
streets and small buildings.
As it exists now, Los Gatos’ boundaries encompass a wide variety of terrain, ranging from level land to
steep and densely wooded hillsides. The sharp visual contrasts among these features and charming
architecture create the picturesque setting of the Town. In the midst of the growth of Silicon Valley, Los
Gatos attracts people with a preference for the Town’s distinctive, high quality natural and urban
environment.
TOWN VISON STATEMENT
The Town of Los Gatos’s Vision Statement articulates the future Los Gatos and reflects the high
ideals identified by the community:
Residents are united in their desire to maintain a high quality of life and
preserve the character of the Town. The overall community consensus is that
Los Gatos be a full-service community that is also environmentally sensitive;
that Los Gatos maintains a balanced, well-designed mix of residential,
commercial, service and open space uses, fostering a pedestrian-oriented
community with a small town, village-like character; that Los Gatos supports
an active business community that provides a wide variety of goods and services
and a broad range of employment opportunities, eliminating the need to travel
to other communities; and that Los Gatos provides a well-run, efficient
municipal government that is fiscally healthy, with high levels of public safety,
recreational, art and cultural amenities and is connected to high quality
education.

Honorable Mayor and Town Council and Residents of Los Gatos,
I am pleased to submit the Town’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2023. In coordination with the Town Manager’s Office, this report was prepared by
the Finance Department, which assumes responsibility for the accuracy of the data, the completeness
and fairness of the presentation, and all disclosures. The information in this report presents the
reader with a comprehensive view of the Town’s financial position and the results of its operations
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, along with additional disclosures and financial information
designed to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the Town’s financial activities.
This report was prepared as prescribed in Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for State
and Local Governments (GASB 34). This GASB Statement requires management to provide a narrative
introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of a
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement
the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A can be found immediately following
the Independent Auditor’s Report.
This Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is organized into three sections:
I. The Introductory Section includes the table of contents, letter of transmittal, listing of
elected officials, Town administrative personnel, and an organization chart delineating
organizational structure.
II. The Financial Section includes the Independent Auditor’s opinion, the MD&A, the basic
financial statements, notes to the financial statements, combining statements of non-major
funds, and required supplemental information.
III. The Statistical Section includes both financial and non-financial data about the Town.
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) promulgated by the Governmental Accounting
Mayor and Town Council November 27, 2023
Page 2
Standards Board (GASB) and includes the audit report of Chavan & Associates, the Town’s independent
certified public accountants.
This Annual Comprehensive Financial Report will be submitted to the Government Finance Officers
Association for consideration of its Achievement of Excellence Award in financial reporting
certification. This award is granted only to entities whose reports meet the highest standards of
municipal financial reporting.
THE REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES
Los Gatos is a general law Town, incorporated under the legal framework of California in 1887. The
Town is located in the foothills and level terrain of southwestern Santa Clara Valley, referred to
internationally as “Silicon Valley.” From the first 100-acre Town site and an 1890 population of 1,652,
Los Gatos grew slowly so that by 1963 the area was 6.3 square miles with a population of 11,750.
Today Los Gatos covers approximately 15 square miles with a population of 33,102 (California
Department of Finance, January 2023). The growth over the last 80 years resulted in a community
with vibrant business districts, well-maintained neighborhoods, and lovely parks and open spaces.
Preserving the unique charm of Los Gatos as a complete and well-balanced community while meeting
its economic and housing needs, has been, and remains a key goal for the Town.
The Town maintains a Council-Manager form of government which combines the strong political
leadership of elected officials with the strong managerial experience of an appointed Town Manager.
Five Council members are elected at large for staggered four-year terms to govern the Town. The
Mayor and Vice Mayor are appointed by the Council from its own ranks and serve one-year terms. The
Town Manager and Town Attorney are appointed and supervised directly by the Council. The Town
Manager oversees all municipal services such as Public Safety, Parks and Public Works, Community
Development, Library, and Town Administration including Human Resources, Information Technology,
and Finance.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
This past year, the Town continued to see a modest return to economic normalcy after the initial
economic impacts associated with the pandemic. The Town closed FY 2022/23 with a net $5.7 million
General Fund surplus due to a variety of factors discussed in the MD&A.
General Fund revenues (not including transfers in) increased 8.5% from the prior year. Property tax
revenues remain the largest and most consistent source of support for General Fund operations,
comprising approximately 44.9% of General Fund revenues in FY 2022/23. For FY 2022/23, property
tax receipts of $22.7 million were $1.6 million higher than the prior year’s collection, reflecting the
continued desirability of the Town, its environment, culture, and educational opportunities.
Mayor and Town Council November 27, 2023
Page 3
The Town also relies heavily on sales tax revenues to support General Fund operations, comprising
approximately 17.4% of General Fund revenues in FY 2022/23. For FY 2022/23 sales tax receipts of $8.8
million were $0.3 million higher than the prior year’s collection. Sales tax revenues were supported
by the continued resurgence of the restaurant sector. The Town’s 1/8 cent District Sales Tax continued
to perform well as the District Tax captures a larger share of the increase in online sales versus the
County pool collections.
In addition to the Town’s revenue sources, the Town benefited from the federal American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPA). The Act allocated $7,229,744 to the Town over a two-year period. The Town has
received both payments. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 , the Town recognized $3,614,872
as operating grant revenue in the ARPA special revenue fund and transferred $3,614,872 to other
funds, reimbursing the Town for qualifying expenditures under the provisions of the Act. For more
information regarding the two federal programs please refer to Note 16.
As with most municipalities, services are provided directly by employees to the Town’s residents,
businesses, and visitors. As a service delivery enterprise, the cost of salaries and benefits are a
significant portion of the Town’s expenditures. Salaries are largely dictated by regional market forces
as evidenced by fierce competition for talent in the San Francisco Bay Area, and inflationary pressures
nationwide. During FY 2021/22, the Town successfully completed negotiations with all bargaining
units. While important for the consistent delivery of high quality services for the Town, these actions
exacerbated an already existing imbalance between revenues and expenditures.
The Town also continues to adjust and prepare for pension employer costs to continue to be a primary
expense in conjunction with salaries. The Town’s pension plans over the past several decades, like all
other CalPERS participants, have experienced changes in actuarial assumptions, demographic
changes, and volatile investment returns which have outweighed any positive plan experiences. The
outcome of these unfavorable economic and demographic conditions is the creation of unfunded
pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) obligations for the Town. According to the 2022
CalPERS actuarial valuations, the unfunded actuarial liability for pensions was $59.9 million and $7.0
million for OPEB as of June 30, 2022.
To address the escalation in pension costs, current and previous Councils have allocated additional
discretionary pension funding totaling $10.4 million in prior fiscal years. These additional
discretionary payments will ultimately yield an approximate $12.7 million in pension contribution
savings. In addition to the management of the Town’s pension obligations, prior Councils have worked
to curb cost escalation in Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). In 2009, the Town initiated
prefunding of retiree healthcare benefits and has since established approximately $24.3 million in
OPEB assets from zero in 2009.
In addition, it should be noted that the net pension obligation varies annually depending upon the
plan’s actual investment earnings compared to the assumed rate of return during the plan’s
measurement periods. The Net Pension Obligation (NPO) reported in the Town’s ACFRs has
experienced a high degree of variability in recent years, with Net Pension Obligation reported in the
Mayor and Town Council November 27, 2023
Page 4
June 30, 2017 ACFR in the amount of $33.4 million rising to $58.02 million in fiscal year 2020/21, and
decreasing to $27.48 million in FY 2021/22. The NPO reported in this year’s financial statements
(ACFR 2022/23) has increased 52.6% to the current NPO of $59.86 million. Due to CalPERS preliminary
returns of 5.8%, staff expects the NPO to rise in the next fiscal year reporting period.
Readers are cautioned that in considering the amount of the pension and OPEB liabilities and other
actuarial data as reported by CalPERS and the Town’s actuary, this is “forward looking” information.
Such “forward looking” information reflects the judgment of the Board of Administration of CalPERS,
its actuaries, and the Town’s actuary as to the amount of assets which the pension and OPEB plans
will be required to accumulate to fund future benefits. These judgments are based upon a variety of
assumptions, one or more of which may prove to be inaccurate or that may change with the future
experience of the pension and OPEB plans. The actuarial methods and assumptions could be changed
by CalPERS and the Town’s actuary at any time based on their professional judgement. Such changes
could cause the Town’s obligations to the pension and OPEB plans to be higher or lower in any
particular year. This sensitivity to changes in actuarial assumptions is especially evident in changes to
the Discount Rate as illustrated in Note 11 and changes to Healthcare Trend and Discount rates as
illustrated in Note 12.
For detailed information about the Town employees’ retirement plan please refer to Note 11 of the
Notes to Basic Financial Statements Section. For detailed information about the Town OPEB
obligations please refer to Note 12 of the Notes to Basic Financial Statements Section. In addition, the
Town provides extensive information on pension and OPEB information on the Town’s website.
Despite revenue constraints and increasing costs associated with unfunded federal and state
mandates, the Town has managed to maintain high service levels and balanced budget through
prudent fiscal management. The Town continues its outreach to the community, the League of
California Cities, and local legislators to prevent and limit any future revenue losses and mandated
cost increases.
MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECT INITIATIVES
Major capital asset and infrastructure initiatives were once again the priority for the fiscal year.
Approximately $9.5 million in Town infrastructure and other capital asset improvements and
contributions were invested in FY 2022/23, including $3.4 million in Town-wide street projects to
improve the pavement condition, $0.7 million adding subscription right of use of assets by GASB 96
implementation, $0.6 million equipment adds, and $0.3 million for storm drain and park
improvements. In addition, $4.5 million was invested in construction in progress including, roads,
bridges, storm drains, park, pathways, building improvements, and downtown revitalization efforts.
Additional infrastructure improvements are scheduled in accordance with the Town’s approved
Capital Improvement Plan, and will continue into future years. All of these improvements are
funded either through grants, or via revenues accumulated from prior year budget savings and/or
excess revenues per Town Council Policy.
Mayor and Town Council November 27, 2023

ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
The effectiveness of internal controls is a primary consideration in the development and evaluation
of the Town’s accounting system. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable
but not absolute assurance regarding:
1) safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized loss or disposition,
2) accuracy and reliability of accounting data, and
3) adherence to managerial policy.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of internal controls should not outweigh
the benefits, and that management must make estimates and judgments in evaluating these costs and
benefits.
All governmental fund types use the modified accrual basis of accounting. This means that revenues
are recorded when measurable and available rather than when received. Measurable means the
amount can be determined and available means the cash is received within sixty days after the end
of the fiscal year. Expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred, rather than when paid. An
exception to this rule is principal and interest on general long-term debt, which is not recognized by
debt service funds until it is due.
Proprietary (internal service) funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting, similar to
that used by corporations. Proprietary fund revenues are recognized when they are earned rather
than when the cash is received, even if the cash is not available and proprietary fund expenses are
recognized when they are incurred. With the implementation of GASB 34, the Town prepares its Basic
Financial Statements on the accrual basis. Internal accounting procedures have been developed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets and the reliability of financial
records for preparing financial statements and maintaining asset accountability.
An annual operating budget, five-year budget forecast, and five-year capital improvement plan is
adopted by the Town Council consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. All budget
adjustments and transfers between funds must be approved by the Town Council during the fiscal
year. The Town Manager is authorized to transfer unencumbered appropriations within a budget
category, within a fund. Appropriations are valid for each fiscal year and lapse at year-end.
AWARDS
The Town’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the national
Government Finance Officers Association. This is the 28th consecutive year that the Town has
received the award. This prestigious award recognizes the report’s conformance with strict
accounting and reporting standards established by the Government Accounting Standards Board and
Mayor and Town Council November 27, 2023
Page 6
government finance organizations. This award is annual in nature and valid for one year only. This
year’s report will be submitted for award consideration by this organization, as we believe it continues
to meet these standards.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
State law requires an annual audit of the Town’s accounts by independent certified public accountants.
The accounting firm of Chavan & Associates LLP performs this function for the Town of Los Gatos, and
their report is included in the financial section of the ACFR.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos Los Gatos, California Report on the Financial Statements Opinions We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, General Fund budgetary statement, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Los Gatos (the “Town"), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Town’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, General Fund budgetary statement, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Los Gatos, as of June 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of
our report. We are required to be independent of the Town and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Emphasis of a Matter As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, for the year ended June 30, 2023, the Town adopted new accounting guidance, Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Town management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Town’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and GAGAS, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Town’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Town’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements, schedules, and other information listed in the supplementary information section of the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
The Town’s management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 27,
2023 on our consideration of the Town’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 Town’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

• The Town’s total net position increased by $15,115,281 in FY 2022/23 as a result of general
revenue collection of $39.4 million and a $1.6 million litigation settlement combined with
governmental activities expenses of $25.8 million.
• The increase in long-term liabilities was mostly attributed to the increase in net pension
liabilities of $32.4 million. The increase was due to each plan’s actual investment earnings of
negative 7.5%, which were significantly lower than the actuarial return assumptions during
the plans’ measurement period (July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022).
• Total pension expense calculated for the Town’s miscellaneous and safety plans is
$5,870,044. A more detailed discussion of the Town’s unfunded pension liabilities can be
found in Note 11.
• Reported unrestricted net position is increased to $11,542,661 compared to $1,785,294 in
the prior year. Unrestricted net position represents all resources not included as net
investment in capital or restricted assets.
• A General Fund surplus of revenues over expenditures was $5.7 million in FY 2022/23.
• During FY 2022/23, the Town implemented GASB Statement No. 96 Subscription-Based
Information Technology Agreements. As a result, the Town recorded subscription right of
use assets totaling $915,860 and subscription liabilities totaling $653,681. See Note 8 for
additional information.
• The Town received $7,229,744 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant. For FY
2020/21, $200K of ARPA proceeds were recognized as revenue to reimburse the Town for
qualifying expenditures under the provisions of the Act including boosting economic
recovery, providing rent forgiveness, and directing grants to non-profit and social welfare
organizations. For FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23, the Town recognized $3.4 million and $3.6
million respectively in ARPA revenues related to recovery of revenue loss.
Page 19
• The Town’s economically sensitive major revenues of property tax, sales tax, and franchise
fees were able to record gains from amounts reported the prior fiscal year. Property taxes
collected increased $1.6 million, sales taxes and franchise fees increased $0.3 million.
Business License Tax increased by $0.9 million based on the new voter-approved business
license tax ordinance.
• FY 2022/23 Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue collection increased by $0.3 million
compared to the level collected in FY 2021/22. However, FY 2022/23 inflows of $2.2 million
are still $0.5 million lower than FY 2018/19 (pre-pandemic) level of TOT collection.
• Total expenses as reported in the Statement of Activities decreased $3.4 million from the
prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by the fact that prior year General Government
expenses included a one-time pass-through fire safety grant payment. In addition, other
factors included Pension and OPEB expense credits of $2.0 million calculated under
accounting standards and allocated for FY 2022/23 compared to a $4.4 million credit for the
prior fiscal year.
• The cost of all governmental activities as presented in the Statement of Activities this year
was $49.3 million. The Town’s governmental program revenues were $23.5 million including
charges for services of $12.4 million, operating grants and contributions of $7.2 million, and
capital grants and contributions of $3.9 million. After taking governmental program revenues
into consideration, the net amount of taxpayer supported governmental activities was $25.8
million. The Town paid for the remaining “public benefit” portion of governmental activities
from total taxes and general revenues of $39.4 million.
• At the end of FY 2022/23, the General Fund balance was $29,528,304 compared to
$26,896,789 in the prior year. The ending fund balance of $29,528,304 represents
approximately 65.8% of General Fund expenditures for the current fiscal year excluding
transfers-out to the Town’s capital projects funds and internal service funds. The $2.6 million
increase in General Fund ending fund balances was primarily due to the combined effect of
favorable year end increases in economically sensitive revenues coupled with operational
savings, and approximately $3.1 million net transfer to the Town’s capital projects fund to
provide resources for Town infrastructure improvements.
• Fund balances for all governmental funds at year end were $61,185,528, an increase of
approximately $10.3 million or (20.3%) from the prior year. Governmental fund balances
increased primarily due to General Fund increases of $2.6 million and $7.5 million for the
General Fund Appropriated Reserve, including the General Fund Support, Capital Grants
received, litigation settlement, and 50% of the Measure G proceeds.
• At fiscal year end, the Town’s General Fund restricted cash assets reported a $1.4 million
balance in the Town’s IRS Section 115 Pension Trust.
Page 20
• As of June 30, 2023, the Town’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities
was $132,679,773 net of accumulated depreciation/amortization ($106,613,671
depreciable/amortizable and $26,066,102 nondepreciable). During FY 2022/23, the Town’s
investment and contribution in capitalized assets were $9.1 million with depreciation totaling
$4.2 million. The Capital asset increased by $4.9 million for the current year.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial section of the ACFR contains the following information: Independent Auditor’s
Report, Management’s Discussion and Analysis (this section), the Basic Financial Statements, and
the Required Supplementary Information. The ACFR also includes a Supplementary Information
section, which presents combining and budgetary schedules for individual nonmajor funds. The
Basic Financial Statements are comprised of three components: 1) Government-Wide Financial
Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements, and 3) Notes to the Financial Statements. The
Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to be an introduction to the Basic Financial
Statements.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide Financial Statements present the financial picture of the Town from an
economic resources measurement focus using the accrual basis of accounting. An economic
resources measurement focus is when a body of financial statements report all inflows, outflows,
and balances affecting or reflecting an entity’s net position.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the Town’s assets and liabilities,
with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases
in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Town is
improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the Town’s net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this Statement for some items that will only result
in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation
leave).
Both of the Government-Wide Financial Statements distinguish functions of the Town that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through
user fees and charges (business–type activity). The governmental activities of the Town include
public safety, parks and public works, community development, library, community services,
debt service, and general government. Governmental activities typically include financial data
for all governmental funds. Internal service funds are typically incorporated into governmental
Page 21
activities as well. Business-type activities typically include financial data for all enterprise funds.
The Town has no enterprise funds and therefore reports no business-type activities.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Town, like other local governments,
uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. The funds of the Town are segregated into three categories: governmental funds,
proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds – The Town’s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus
on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are
available for spending. These funds are reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting,
which measures cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The
Governmental Fund Statements provide a detailed short-term view of the Town’s general
government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps
determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near
future to finance the Town’s operations. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide
a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental
activities.
Proprietary funds – The Town maintains one type of proprietary fund: Internal Service Funds.
Proprietary funds are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Internal Service Funds are
an accounting tool used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the Town’s various
functions. The Town uses Internal Service Funds to account for its fleet of vehicles, computer
equipment, risk management activities, and other items. Internal Service Funds help smooth the
variability of certain expenses and insulate the Town from large unanticipated costs. The Internal
Service Funds are included within governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial
Statements.
Fiduciary funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the Town. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the Government-Wide Financial
Statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Town’s own
programs.
Included in fiduciary funds is the Redevelopment Successor Agency private-purpose Trust Fund
created upon the dissolution of the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) in 2012. The Trust
Fund was created to hold the assets of the former Redevelopment Agency until they are
transferred for governmental purposes to other entities or distributed to the underlying taxing
jurisdictions in Santa Clara County after the payment of enforceable obligations. Additional
information on the dissolution of the RDA and this fiduciary fund can be found in Note 15 in the
notes to basic financial statements.
Page 22
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information to facilitate a full understanding of the data provided
in the Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements.
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents
certain required supplementary information concerning the Town’s progress in funding its
obligation to provide Pension and Other Post Employment benefits to its employees.
ANALYSIS OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Government-Wide Financial Statements provide long-term and short-term information
about the Town’s overall financial condition. This analysis addresses the financial statements of
the Town as a whole, utilizing data from throughout the ACFR to describe the changes between
2022 and 2023.
Net Position Discussion
As shown below, the Town’s combined net position for the year ended June 30, 2023 was
$153.5 million, reflecting an increase of approximately $15.1 million to the prior year’s net
position of $138.4 million. In general, net position can serve as an important indicator of
whether the Town’s overall financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time.

Town of Los Gatos
Net Position
Governmental Activites
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
Page 23
Current and other assets increased $7.2 million from the prior year, primarily due to a $6.2 million
increase in cash/restricted cash and investments, a $0.4 million increase in accounts receivable,
and a $0.3 million increase in land held for resale.
Capital assets increased $4.9 million to $132.7 million for the year reflecting current year’s capital
asset additions/retirements less the annual depreciation/amortization expense.
Deferred Outflows for Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) increased $16.3
million primarily due to the difference between projected assumed investment returns and
actual investment earnings on pension and OPEB investments, changes in assumptions, and the
change in the Town’s proportionate share for the pooled safety pension plan.
Long-term liabilities increased by $37.5 million. The increase is primarily due to a pension liability
increase of $32.4 million and an increase of OPEB liabilities of $4.5 million. See Note 11 and Note
12 in the Notes to the Financial Statements for more information on Town’s pension and OPEB
plans.
In addition, the implementation of GASB 96 subscription right of use of asset added $0.4 million
to the total liabilities.
Deferred Inflows decreased by $22.5 million, resulting primarily from the difference between
projected assumed investment returns and actual investment earnings on pension and OPEB
investments. The pension inflows decreased $19.0 million and the OPEB plan decreased $3.5
million.
Page 24
The largest segment of the Town’s net position, representing $130.9 million of net position,
reflects the net investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, subscription, and
equipment) less accumulated depreciation/amortization and related outstanding debt used to
acquire those assets. The Town uses these capital assets to provide infrastructure and services
to the residents. They do not represent a liquid financial resource to the Town and consequently
are not readily available for funding current obligations.
Restricted net position totaled approximately $11.1 million representing approximately $8.8
million for capital projects and maintenance, $1.4 million for restricted pension trust, $0.5 million
placed in a special revenue trust accounts for Library services, $0.2 million for Lighting and
Landscaping Assessment Districts, and $0.1 million for workers’ compensation.
As of June 30, 2023, unrestricted net position reports an approximate $9.8 million increase from
the prior year to an ending balance of $11.5 million.

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

Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended June 30, 2023
Page 26
Governmental Activities Revenue Discussion
The Statement of Activities shown above details how the $64.4 million in Governmental Activities
revenues and contributions were derived. Approximately $12.4 million or 19.2% of the revenues
were recorded from fees paid by residents/businesses who directly benefited from the respective
Page 27
program or service. Another $11.1 million or 17.2% of the revenues were sourced from
operating/capital grants and contributions. Significant grants and contributions include $3.6
million in recognized ARPA, $0.8 million gas tax, $0.7 million in Road Maintenance and Repair
Account from the State proceeds, and $0.5 million Prop 172 Public Safety allocations. The Town
has received a $1.6 million settlement from Santa Clara County and responsible contractors
related to the Shannon Road litigation. The remaining $39.4 million or 61.2% represents general
revenues of the Town, including taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other miscellaneous
revenues.
Program revenues decreased by approximately $17.7 million from the prior year. This is largely
due to a $18.3 million decrease in capital grants and contributions, $0.4 million decreases from
charges for services, and $1.0 million revenue increases in operating grants and contributions.
FY 2021/22 capital grants and contributions include the donated $12.2 million historic Los Gatos
Theatre, and one-time $6.9 million State pass-through wildfire grant contributions.
The Town’s General Revenues related to Governmental Activities increased by approximately
$3.7 million from the prior year. The increase is attributable to a combination of approximately
$2.1 million increase in investment earnings including the mark-to-market value adjustments on
the Town portfolio investment, $1.6 million increase in property taxes, a $0.3 million increase in
sales tax, $0.3 million increase in franchise fees, $0.2 million increases in Transient Occupancy
Tax (TOT). The increases were offset by $1.1 million decrease in pass-through developer
contributions.
Property tax is the largest individual revenue source for the Town and collections finished the
year $1.6 million higher than the previous year. This increase was mostly due to an increase of
$1.8 million in general property tax collection, $0.3 million increase in Vehicle License Fee (VLF)
Property Tax In-Lieu fee, a $73K decrease in secured taxes received as a rebate of excess property
taxes collected and available from the State of California’s Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund (ERAF), and $0.4 million decrease in property transfer tax reflecting the current mortgage
rate environment. It is important to note that assessed valuations for FY 2022/23 were
established on the tax roll in January 2022 and collected in FY 2022/23.
At $8.8 million, sales taxes represent the second largest individual revenue source for the Town.
Sales taxes increased $0.3 million from the previous year largely due to the continued resurgence
of the restaurant sector. The increase was aided by the Town’s 1/8 cent District Tax which
captures a larger share of the increase in online sales versus those receipts provided by the
County pool collections.
Franchise taxes, the Town’s third largest revenue source, finished the year at $3.1 million,
reflecting an increase of $0.3 million from the previous fiscal year.
Investment earnings increased $2.1 million from the prior year. The primary factor responsible
for this increase was the higher total mark-to-market value above historical investment cost than
the prior year for the Town’s investment portfolio. These unrealized gains/losses are recognized
Page 28
as investment income/loss as a result of the mark to market value procedure required by GASB
31. The FY 2021/22 actual GASB 31 adjustment reduced interest earnings by $1,577,168, while
the FY 2022/23 GASB 31 adjustment was $1,573,971. After the reversal of the FY 2021/22
adjustments there was a gain of $3,197. Per the Town Council General Fund Reserve Policy,
$10,000 or more of unrealized investment gains that have been recorded in the financial
statement are required to be reserved.
Governmental Activities Expenses Discussion
The Town provides residents, businesses, and visitors with an array of high quality municipal
services. General government strategic support is comprised of six Departments (Town Council,
Town Clerk, Town Manager, Town Attorney, Human Resources, Information Technology, and
Finance) which provide in information technology, executive management, economic vitality,
legal, records management, risk management, human resources, finance, and accounting
services. The Town’s Police Department (public safety) provides general law enforcement, crime
prevention, dispatch, and responses to emergency and non-emergency calls for service. Parks
and Public Works provides engineering, construction, and maintenance of public streets, street
lighting, Town-owned buildings, parks, and related infrastructure; as well as traffic engineering
and engineering evaluation of private development proposals. Community Development
provides planning and zoning services; building plan checks and inspections; and code
compliance services. The Library Department provides library, local history, and cultural services
to the community.
Page 29
Total expenses of $49.3 million as reported in the Statement of Activities decreased by $3.4
million from $52.7 million the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by the fact that prior
year General Government expenses included a $6.9 million one-time pass-through fire safety
grant payment. In addition, other factors included Pension and OPEB expense credits of $2.0
million calculated under accounting standards and allocated to FY 2022/23 compared to a $4.4
million credit for the prior fiscal year. The calculated pension and OPEB expense credits of $2.0
million was applied across all operating Departments. Eliminating the prior year $6.9 million one-
time pass-through grant payment, total expenses increased from $45.8 million to $49.3 million.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE TOWN’S FUNDS
Governmental Funds
Recognizing the financial resources measurement focus, the Town’s Governmental Funds
provide information on near-term inflows and outflows, and balances of spendable resources.
This information is useful in assessing the Town’s financing requirements and may serve as a
useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal
year. Unlike the Statement of Activities which does not include transfers, the Governmental
Funds Balance Sheet does include transfers in and out.
Fund Balance – As discussed below, the Town’s Governmental Funds Balance Sheet reports the
following fund balances.
Restricted Fund Balance – The Town has $11 million in fund balance classified as restricted to
indicate that it has an externally imposed restrictions on how the money may be spent. Of the
$11 million restricted fund balance, $8.6 million is restricted for capital projects, $1.4 million for
pension, $0.5 million for Library special revenue trust accounts, and $0.2 million for maintenance
and repairs.
Committed Fund Balance – The Town has $15.7 million in fund balance classified as committed
to indicate that the Town Council previously committed how the money will be spent. Of the
$15.7 million, $12.3 million is for budget stabilization ($6.13 million) and catastrophe response
($6.13 million).
Assigned Fund Balance – The Town has $34.3 million in fund balance which is not restricted or
committed and is classified as assigned to indicate the Town Council’s intent to be used for
specific purposes. The largest assignments of fund balance are the Reserve for Capital/Special
Projects with a balance of approximately $10.4 million and the Capital Projects Reserve of $19.1
million which are the primary funding sources for the Town’s five-year capital improvement plan
and special projects as budgeted by the Town.
Additional information on the Town’s Fund Balance can be found in Note 10 of the Notes to the
Financial Statements.
Page 30
Major Governmental Funds results for the year included the following:
Overall, total Governmental Funds revenues finished $2.0 million or 3.1% lower than the
prior year, while total expenditures finished $7.1 million or 11.6% lower than the prior year. One
of the main reasons for the decreases are because prior year revenues and expenses included
the one-time State pass-through wildfire grant in the amount of $6.9 million. The approximate
$10.3 million increase in Total Governmental Fund balance is the net result.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES
Page 31
General Fund revenues totaled $50.6 million or nearly 81.4% of the total $62.2 million in Total
Governmental Fund revenues.
Total Governmental Funds revenues decreased by $2.0 million.
Governmental Funds expenditures decreased by $7.1 million. General Fund expenditures
represent approximately $44.9 million or 83.3% of the Total Governmental Fund expenditures of
$53.9 million compared to $43.3 million of General Fund expenditures and total Governmental
Funds expenditures of $61.0 million in the prior year.
Increases in Public Safety expenditures from the prior year of approximately $2.0 million were
primarily due to salary and benefit cost increases resulting from labor negotiations and mandated
increases in employer pension contribution rates.
Increases in Parks and Public Works and Library services expenditures from prior year of
approximately $0.8 million were primarily due to salary and benefit cost increases resulting from
labor negotiations and mandated increases in employer pension contribution rates.
Decreases in Community Development were primarily due to fact that prior year expensed the
$1.2 million affordable housing loan through the Below Market Housing program.
The $7.1 million decrease in general governmental expenditures was mainly attributable to the
fact that prior year included the one-time $6.9 million State pass-through wildfire safety grant.
Appropriated Reserves Fund capital projects fund balances increased $7.5 million from the prior
year, reflecting increased capital activity during the fiscal year. The $1.4 million of general
government and capital outlay expenditures above operating revenues was offset by $8.9 million
from other financing sources, including $1.6 million in settlement, and $7.3 million net transfers.
Proprietary Funds
The Town’s Proprietary Funds (Internal Service Funds) presented in the Fund Financial
Statements section provide similar information to the Government-Wide Financial Statements
and include individual segment information.
Total net position in the Internal Service Funds decreased by $1.7 million, a combined effect of
GASB 96 expense increase adjustment of $0.2 million, a $0.2 million increase in equipment
replacement net position, a $1.7 million decrease in FY 2022/23 due to excess expenses over
revenues for workers’ compensation, information technology, and general liability costs
including administration, insurance premiums, and claims expense.
Page 32
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
Changes to the Original Budget
Comparing the FY 2022/23 original budget (i.e., the Adopted Budget) General Fund revenues of

contract;
• $0.9 million Business License Tax revenue budget increase based on the estimated
collection per the new business license tax;
• $0.7 million Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue budget increase based on actual
receipts.

of $47,354,218 (excluding budgeted transfers-out and debt payments that are reimbursed) to
the final adjusted budget of $50,204,894 indicates a net increase of approximately $2.9 million.

and Actual (GAAP) for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 reports an approximate overall favorable
variance with the final budget of approximately $5.7 million. This favorable variance was created

financial planning decisions.
During the development and adoption of the Town’s FY 2023/24 budget, the Town Council and
management considered the following factors:
• The FY 2023/24 Adopted Budget endeavored to maintain essential public services while
controlling operational costs in light of the Five-Year Financial Forecast.

• For FY 2023/24, the Adopted Operating Budget was balanced utilizing two primary budget
balancing strategies. The first was direction to all Departments to develop a status quo
budget. To that end, the Departments programmed existing resources by either maintaining
current structures or realigning operations to remain effective. This proved exceptionally
difficult as vendor, supply, and other costs rose beyond FY 2022/23 levels. In addition,
Departments were provided guidance to enhance capacity where necessary through limit-
dated non-benefited personnel options when possible. The second strategy includes a 4.6%
vacancy factor, while Council directed that staff continue to hire for all vacant positions. The
4.6% salary savings represents approximately $1.7 million projected saving.
• In terms of capital projects, the Town Council stated its capital budget priorities to continue
implementation of the Downtown Parking Roadmap, continue mobility improvements for all
transportation modes, manage the vegetation on Town lands to protect against wildfire, and
advance other needed improvements. All of these efforts support improving and enhancing
transportation options, public safety, and quality of life within the context of prudent fiscal
management.

Basic Financial Statements
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA
ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
Page 38
The Statement of Net Position, Statement of Activities, fund financial statements, and the notes to
financial statements comprise the Basic Financial Statements of the Town.
The purpose of the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities is to summarize the entire financial activities and financial position of the Town. They are prepared on the same basis of accounting (accrual) used by most businesses, which means they include all the Town’s assets
and liabilities, as well as its revenues and expenses. The effect of the entire Town’s transactions
is accounted for, regardless of when cash changes hands, and all material internal transactions between funds have been eliminated. The Statement of Net Position report the Town’s total assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, including capital assets and long-term debt, and
presents similar information to the old balance sheet format while focusing the reader on the composition of the Town’s net position (assets minus liabilities). The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of the Town’s governmental activities in a single column.
The Town’s governmental activities include the activities of the General Fund, Special Revenue
Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and Debt Service Funds. These funds are serviced by the Town’s Internal Service Funds; therefore internal service activities are consolidated with governmental activities after eliminating inter-fund transactions and balances.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the Town’s net position and is
prepared on the full accrual basis of accounting, which means it includes all the Town’s revenues and expenses regardless of when cash changed hands. This differs from the “modified accrual” basis of accounting used in the fund financial statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues, and measurable expenditures.
The format of the Statement of Activities presents the Town’s expenses before revenues and by program. Program revenues (revenues generated directly by specific programs) are deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each governmental program, which is offset by general revenues as listed before the change in net position. From these components, the change
in net position is computed and reconciled to the Statement of Net Position.
Both of these statements include the financial activities of the Town.

Page 45
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS 10,323,390$
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are
different because of the following:
CAPITAL ASSET TRANSACTIONS
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of
Activities the cost of those assets is capitalized and allocated over their estimated useful
lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Expenditures for capital assets (additions)8,598,811$
Current year depreciation (3,950,198) 4,648,613
Gains and losses from the disposal of capital assets are not considered current financial resources and
are not recorded in the governmental fund statement of revenues and expenditures but are
recorded in the government-wide statement of activities because they are economic resources.(452,844)
LONG-TERM DEBT PROCEEDS AND PAYMENTS
Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment
reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position.
Certificates of participation 156,034

Page 48
Internal service funds account for Town operations financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise. The intent of the Town is that the cost of providing goods and services to other Town funds be financed through user charges to those funds.
The concept of major funds does not extend to internal service funds because they are used for internal activities only. In the Government-Wide Statement of Activities, the net revenues and expenses of the internal service funds are allocated to the Town Departments or programs that generated them, thus eliminating internal service funds.

Page 57
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Description of the Financial Reporting Entity The Town of Los Gatos (the “Town”) operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services; public safety (including police and emergency management), parks and public works, community development, library, public improvements, planning and zoning, and
general administration services. Redevelopment services were provided primary through the
Redevelopment Agency of the Town which was dissolved on February 1, 2012. The Town is largely a residential community located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains and was incorporated as a municipal corporation in 1887. The Town’s population as of January 1, 2023, was 33,102. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the Town
as the Primary Government and any component units for which the Town is considered financially accountable. B. Description of Blended Component Units The Town did not report any component units as a part of the primary government because the Town
Council was not the governing body of any entities and no separate entity provided services entirely
to the Town. C. Description of Joint Ventures and Public Entity Risk Pool As described in Note 11, the Town participates in two joint ventures and public entity risk pool activities through formally organized separate legal entities. The financial activities of the Pooled
Liability Assurance Network Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA) and the Local Agency Workers’
Compensation Excess Joint Powers Authority (“LAWCX”) are not included in the accompanying basic financial statements as boards separate from and independent of the Town administer them. D. Basis of Presentation The Town’s Basic Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The Government Accounting Standards Board
(“GASB”) is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the U.S.A. The accompanying financial statements are presented on the basis set forth in Government Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 34, Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s
Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments, No. 36, Recipient Reporting for Certain
Non-exchange Revenues, an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 33, No. 37, Basic Financial
Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments; Omnibus, and No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures.
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 58
These Statements require that the financial statements described below be presented.
Government-wide Statements: The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the primary government (the Town). These statements include the financial activities of the overall Town government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. These statements present governmental
activities of the Town. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes,
intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions. The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the Town’s governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a
particular function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services
offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meet the operational needs of a particular program, and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues. Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the Town's
funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category—governmental, proprietary and fiduciary—are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual governmental funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. Internal service funds of the Town (which provide services primarily to other funds of the Town) are
presented, in summary form, as part of the proprietary fund financial statements. Since the principal users of the internal services are the Town’s governmental activities, financial activities of the internal service funds are presented in the governmental activities column when presented at the government-wide level. The costs of these services are allocated to the appropriate function/program
in the Statement of Activities.
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. Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from non-exchange transactions or ancillary activities. E. Major Funds
GASB defines major funds and requires that the Town’s major governmental funds be identified and presented separately in the fund financial statements. All other funds, called nonmajor funds, are combined and reported in a single column, regardless of their fund-type. Major funds are defined as funds that have assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred
outflows of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their fund-type total
and five percent of the grand total. The General Fund is always a major fund. The Town may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 59
The Town reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial
statements: General Fund is the general operating fund of the Town and is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Appropriated Reserves Fund is used to account for resources provided for capital projects not fully funded from other sources. ARPA Fund was established to account for monies received under the American Rescue Plan
Act of 2021 to respond to the COVID19 emergency.
The Town also reports the following fund types: Internal Service Funds are used to account for services that are provided to other departments on a
cost-reimbursement basis. Those services include workers compensation, self-insurance, facilities
maintenance, information technology, and equipment. Fiduciary Funds include Private-Purpose Trust Funds and agency funds used to account for assets held by the Town as an agent for individuals, private organizations, and other governments. The
financial activities of this fund are excluded from the government-wide financial statement but are
presented in a separate Fiduciary Fund financial statement. The Town reported the following Fiduciary Funds in the accompanying financial statements:
RDA Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund accounts for the assets, liabilities, and
operations transferred from the dissolution of the Town’s Redevelopment Agency, which includes the following:
• Certificates of Participation issued to finance several capital improvement projects
throughout the Town.
• Redevelopment projects and related property tax revenue.
• Affordable Housing Set-Aside Program obligations.
• Repayment of obligations incurred by the Town’s Redevelopment Agency prior to its dissolution. F. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide and fiduciary fund (except for agency funds) financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full 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.
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
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 60
and available. The Town considers property tax revenues reported in the governmental funds to be
available if the revenues are collected or are reasonably expected to be collected within sixty days after year-end. For revenues other than property taxes, the Town generally applies the sixty-day period rule when considering the measurable and available criteria. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt,
which is recognized upon becoming due and payable; and except for claims, judgments, and
compensated absences, which are recognized when estimable and probable. Governmental capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of governmental long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property and sales taxes, certain intergovernmental
revenues, and interest revenue. Fines, forfeitures, licenses and permits, and charges for services are not susceptible to accrual because they are not measurable until received in cash. Non-exchange transactions, in which the Town gives or receives value without directly, receiving or
giving equal value in exchange, include taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On the accrual
basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or assessed. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
The Town may fund programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block
grants and/or general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be available to finance program expenditures. The Town’s policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs followed by general revenues as necessary.
Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and
activities. The Town applies all applicable GASB pronouncements for certain accounting and financial reporting guidance including those applicable to accounting and reporting for proprietary operations.
In December of 2010, GASB issued GASB No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial
Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements. This statement incorporates pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989 into GASB authoritative literature. This includes pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Accounting Principles Board Opinions (APB), and the Accounting Research Bulletins of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) Committee on Accounting
Procedure, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict with GASB pronouncements. Pensions - For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of
the Town’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (the 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.
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation Date June 30, 2021 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Other Postemployment Benefit (OPEB) Expense 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 Town’s Retiree Benefits Plan (the 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 the OPEB Plan. For this purpose, the OPEB Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the reported results must pertain to liability and asset information within certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used:
Valuation Date June 30, 2021 Measurement Date June 30, 2022 Measurement Period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Town’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less
from the date of acquisition.
State of California statutes and the Town’s investment policy authorize the Town to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, its agencies and instrumentalities, collateralized, non-negotiable certificates of deposits, commercial paper rated A-1/P-1, medium-term corporate notes rated A or its
equivalent or better by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s, asset backed corporate notes, bankers’
acceptances, mutual funds, and the State Treasurer’s investment pool (Local Agency Investment Fund). The Town does not enter into repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements.
Restricted Cash and Investments - Certain restricted cash and investments are held by fiscal agents for pension stabilization, worker’s compensation insurance, and Successor Agency debt service obligations.
Investments - Investments are recorded at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 72,
Fair Value Measurement and Application. Accordingly, the change in fair value of investments is recognized as an increase or decrease to investment assets and investment income.
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 62
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction. In determining this amount, three valuation techniques are available:
• Market approach - This approach uses prices generated for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
The most common example is an investment in a public security traded in an active exchange
such as the NYSE.
• Cost approach - This technique determines the amount required to replace the current asset. This approach may be ideal for valuing donations of capital assets or historical treasures.
• Income approach - This approach converts future amounts (such as cash flows) into a current discounted amount. Each of these valuation techniques requires inputs to calculate a fair value. Observable inputs have been maximized in fair value measures, and unobservable inputs have been minimized.
Materials, Supplies and Deposits (Other Assets) - These assets are held for consumption and are stated at cost using the first-in, first-out method. The costs are recorded as expenditures at the time the item is consumed.
Interfund Receivables and Payables - Transactions between funds that are representative of
lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as “advances to/advances from other funds.” All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.”
Advances - Advances between funds and due from/to other funds are offset by a nonspendable fund
balance in applicable Town funds to indicate the extent to which they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. Capital Assets - Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual
historical cost is not available. Donated capital assets or donated works of art and similar items should be reported at acquisition value rather than fair value. Also, note that capital assets received in a service concession arrangement should be reported at acquisition value rather than fair value. Capital assets, including infrastructure, are recorded if acquisition or construction costs exceeds $10,000.
As required by GASB, the Town depreciates and amortizes capital assets with limited useful lives over their estimated useful lives. The purpose of depreciation/amortization is to spread the cost of capital assets equitably among all users over the life of these assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year represents that year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets. The
Town depreciates/amortizes using the straight-line method which means the cost of the asset is divided by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is fully depreciated. Intangible right-to-use lease assets are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life
of the underlying asset, unless the lease contains a purchase option that the university has determined is reasonably certain of being exercised, then the lease asset is amortized over the useful life of the
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 63
underlying asset. Intangible right-to-use subscription assets are amortized over the shorter of the
subscription term or the useful life of the underlying IT asset. The Town has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets:
Buildings 25-40 years
Improvements 25-40 years Machinery and equipment 2-20 years Furniture and fixtures 5-12 years Software 5-7 years
Infrastructure 20-40 years
Major capital outlay for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Capital assets may be acquired using federal and state grants, contributions from developers, and
contributions or grants from other governments. GASB 34 requires that these contributed assets be
accounted for as revenue at the time they are contributed. Leases Receivable - The Town’s leases receivable are measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during the lease terms. The present value, net of accumulated
amortization, is reported as deferred inflows of resources is recorded for leases. Deferred inflows of
resources are recorded at the initiation of the leases in an amount equal to the initial recording of the leases receivable, plus incentive payments received. Amounts recorded as deferred inflows of resources from the leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Deferred Compensation Plan - The Town established a deferred compensation plan created in
accordance with California Government Code Section 53212 and Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all Town employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. Deferred compensation plans are not reported as part of the
Town’s assets or liabilities, as the deferred compensation plan trustees hold those funds in trust on
behalf of employees until the employees are eligible to receive the benefits. Compensated Absences - Accumulated Vacation, Sick Pay, and Other Employee Benefits are accrued as earned. Upon termination, employees are paid for all unused vacation at their current
hourly rates. Sick leave earned is cashed out based on the following schedule for employees with at
least 150 hours accrued and up to a maximum amount as specified under labor contract provisions: For employees under contract 1-59 months 25.0% For employees under contract 60-119 months 37.5%
For employees under contract 120 months or more 50.0%
The Town’s liability for compensated absences is determined annually. For all governmental funds, amounts expected to be paid out of current financial resources are recorded as liabilities of each fund;
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 64
the long-term portion is recorded in the Statement of Net Position. The changes of the compensated
absences were as follows:
Compensated absences are liquidated by the fund that has recorded the liability. The long-term portion of governmental activities compensated absences is liquidated primarily by the General
Fund. Only compensated absences related to terminated employees are reported in the fund financial
statements. Unearned Revenue - Unearned revenue arises when assets are received before revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Grants and entitlements received before eligibility requirements are met
are recorded as deferred inflows from unearned revenue. In the governmental fund financial
statements, receivables associated with non-exchange transactions that will not be collected within the availability period have been recorded as deferred inflows from unavailable revenue. Long-Term Liabilities - In the government-wide financial statements and private-purpose trust
funds long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable
statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well 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. Subscription Based Information Technology Arrangements - The Town recognizes subscription liabilities with an initial, individual value of $100,000 or more. The Town uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate to measure subscription liabilities unless it can readily determine the
interest rate in the arrangement. The Town's estimated incremental borrowing rate is calculated as
described above. The Town’s estimated incremental borrowing rate is based on its most recent public debt issuance.
Deferred Outflows/Deferred Inflows of Resources - Deferred outflows of resources is a
consumption of net assets by the Town that is applicable to a future reporting period, for example, contributions to pension and OPEB plans that are after the actuarial measurement date.

Deferred inflows of resources is an acquisition of net assets by the Town that is applicable to a future reporting period, for example, unavailable revenue. Net Position - In the government-wide financial statements, net position is classified in the following
categories:
Net Investment in Capital Assets - This amount consists of capital assets net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt that attributed to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of the assets. In addition, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets or
related debt also are included in the net investment in capital assets component of net position. Restricted Net Position - This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments.
Unrestricted Net Position - This amount is all net position that does not meet the definition of "net investment in capital assets" or "restricted net position." Fund Balances - The Town does not have a policy identifying a minimum unassigned fund balance.
Because amounts in the nonspendable, restricted, committed, and assigned categories are subject to
varying constraints on their use, the remaining fund balances are otherwise unassigned. In accordance with Government Accounting Standards Board 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, the Town classifies governmental fund balances as follows:
Nonspendable includes fund balance amounts that cannot be spent either because it is not in spendable form or because of legal or contractual constraints. Restricted includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific purposes which are
externally imposed by providers, such as creditors or amounts constrained due to constitutional
provisions or enabling legislation. Committed includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific purposes that are internally imposed by the government through formal action of the highest level of decision making
authority and does not lapse at year-end. Committed fund balances are imposed by the Town
Council. Assigned includes fund balance amounts that are intended to be used for specific purposes that are neither considered restricted or committed. Fund balance may be assigned by the Town Manager
or the Finance Director. Unassigned includes fund balances within the funds which have not been classified within the above-mentioned categories. The General Fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds it is not appropriate to report a positive
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 66
unassigned fund balance amount. However, in governmental funds other than the General Fund, if
expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.
The Town uses restricted/committed amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted
fund balance is available unless there are legal documents/contracts that prohibit doing this, such as a grant agreement requiring dollar for dollar spending. Additionally, the Town would first use committed, then assigned, and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance when expenditures are made.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events - Management has considered subsequent events through November 27, 2023, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. The financial statements include all events or transactions, including estimates, required to be recognized in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Management has determined that there are no non-recognized
subsequent events that require disclosure. Property Tax Levy, Collection and Maximum Rates - State of California Constitution Article XIII A provides that the combined maximum property tax rate on any given property may not exceed 1%
of its assessed value unless an additional amount for general obligation debt has been approved by
voters. Assessed value is calculated at 100% of market value as defined by Article XIII A and may be adjusted by no more than 2% per year unless the property is sold, transferred, or substantially improved. The State Legislature has determined the method of distribution of receipts from a 1% tax levy among the counties, cities, school districts and other districts.
The County of Santa Clara assesses properties, bills for and collects property taxes on the following schedule: Secured Unsecured
Valuation/lien dates January 1 January 1 Levy dates January 1 January 1 Due dates (delinquent as of) 50% on November 1 (December 10) March 1 (August 31) 50% on February 1 (April 10)
The term "unsecured" refers to taxes on personal property other than land and buildings. These taxes are secured by liens on the property being taxed. Property taxes levied are recorded as revenue and receivables when they are collected during the fiscal year of levy or within 60 days of year-end.
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023

Budgets and Budgetary Accounting - The Town follows the procedures below when establishing
the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: 1. The Town Manager submits to the Town Council a proposed operating and capital improvement budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The budgets include the proposed
expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. 3. The budget is legally enacted through adoption of Town resolution by Council. 4. The Town Manager is authorized to implement the programs as approved in the adopted budget. Within a specific fund, the Town Manager may transfer appropriations between categories,
departments, projects and programs as needed to implement the adopted budget, whereas the
Town Council must authorize budget increases and decreases, and transfers between funds. 5. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles except for proprietary funds which budget for capital outlays but not depreciation. Budgets were adopted for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Capital
Projects Funds.
6. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by Town Council. Individual amendments were not material in relation to original appropriations. Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations - There were no significant expenditures in excess
of budget during for the year ended June 30, 2023. Encumbrances - Under encumbrance accounting, purchase orders, contract and other commitments for expenditures are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation. Encumbrance accounting is employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in all funds.
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as commitments or assignments of fund balances
since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities; unexpended and unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end in all funds. Encumbered appropriations are carried forward to the following year. Reclassifications - Certain accounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for
the presentation in the current-year financial statements. G. Accounting and Reporting Changes GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-based Information Technology Arrangements.
During the year, the Town implemented GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-based Information
Technology Arrangements. GASB Statement No. 96 is an accounting pronouncement issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) that provides guidance on how the costs and investments for subscription-based information technology arrangements (SBITAs) are accounted
for and disclosed by governmental entities. This Statement (1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes that
a SBITA results in a right-to-use subscription asset—an intangible asset—and a corresponding subscription liability; (3) provides the capitalization criteria for outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation costs of a SBITA; and (4) requires note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant, the standards for SBITAs are based on the standards established in
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 68
Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended. As a result, the Town recorded intangible right of use
subscription assets of $915,860 and corresponding subscription lease liabilities of $653,681. The details of the related assets and liabilities can be found in Notes 6 and 8. H. Upcoming Accounting and Reporting Changes
The Town is currently analyzing its accounting practices to determine the potential impact on the financial statements of the following recent GASB Statements: GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—an amendment of GASB
Statement No. 62 This Statement defines accounting changes as changes in accounting principles, changes in accounting estimates, and changes to or within the financial reporting entity and describes the transactions or other events that constitute those changes. This Statement also prescribes the
accounting and financial reporting for (1) each type of accounting change and (2) error corrections
in previously issued financial statements. The requirements of this Statement are effective for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2023, and all reporting periods thereafter.
GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences This Statement requires that liabilities for compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not been used and (2) leave that has been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means. A liability should be recognized for leave that has not been used if (a) the leave is attributable
to services already rendered, (b) the leave accumulates, and (c) the leave is more likely than not to
be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means. Leave is attributable to services already rendered when an employee has performed the services required to earn the leave. Leave that accumulates is carried forward from the reporting period in which it is earned to a future reporting period during which it may be used for time off or otherwise paid or settled. In estimating
the leave that is more likely than not to be used or otherwise paid or settled, a government should
consider relevant factors such as employment policies related to compensated absences and historical information about the use or payment of compensated absences. However, leave that is more likely than not to be settled through conversion to defined benefit postemployment benefits should not be included in a liability for compensated absences.
This Statement requires that a liability for certain types of compensated absences—including parental leave, military leave, and jury duty leave—not be recognized until the leave commences. This Statement also requires that a liability for specific types of compensated absences not be recognized until the leave is used.
This Statement also establishes guidance for measuring a liability for leave that has not been used, generally using an employee’s pay rate as of the date of the financial statements. A liability for leave that has been used but not yet paid or settled should be measured at the amount of the cash payment
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 69
or noncash settlement to be made. Certain salary-related payments that are directly and incrementally
associated with payments for leave also should be included in the measurement of the liabilities. With respect to financial statements prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus, this Statement requires that expenditures be recognized for the amount that normally would
be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. The requirements of this Statement are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and all reporting periods thereafter. NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The Town pools cash from all sources and all funds except Restricted Cash and Investments so that it
can be invested at the maximum yield, consistent with safety and liquidity, while existing funds have cash available for expenditures. Cash and Investments Defined
The Town includes only cash deposits in banks as cash. Investments in LAIF and government securities mutual funds are net in the order of liquidity, since they may be withdrawn without penalty. U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies and Certificates of Deposit are the Town’s least liquid investments, since they must be held to maturity.
Cash Deposits with Banks and Custodial Credit Risk California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities with a fair value of 110% of the Town’s cash on deposit, first trust deed mortgage notes with a value of 150%
of the deposit, or letters of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco with a value
of 100% of the deposit as collateral. Under California Law this collateral is held in the Town’s name and places the Town ahead of general creditors of the institution. The Town’s cash deposits are collateralized under this law.
The bank balance of the Town’s cash deposits was $14,306,396 and the carrying amount was
$14,200,094 as of June 30, 2023. The bank balance and the carrying amount differed due to deposits in transit and outstanding checks.
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023

Investments
The Town and its fiscal agent invest in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual investments are evidenced by specific identifiable pieces of paper called “securities instruments,” or by an electronic entry registering the owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the
book entry system. In order to maximize security, the Town employs the Trust department of a bank as
the custodian of all its investments, regardless of their form. Fair Value Measurements GASB 72 established a hierarchy of inputs to the valuation techniques above. This hierarchy has three
levels:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 inputs are quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other than quoted prices that are
not observable
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, such as a property valuation or an appraisal. Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) The Town invests in the California State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund. LAIF, established
in 1977, is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 and under the day to day
administration of the State Treasurer. As of June 30, 2023, LAIF had approximately $180 billion in investments that were fully invested in non-derivative financial products. These investments are described as follows:
1. Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow
characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more indices and / or that have embedded forwards or options. 2. Asset-Backed Securities, the bulk of which are mortgage-backed securities, entitle their purchasers
to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments
from a pool of mortgages (such as Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) or credit card receivables. Risk Disclosures Interest Rate Risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair
value to the changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the Town manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Town's investments to market interest rate
fluctuations is provided in the summary of cash and investments table on the following page that shows the distribution of the Town's investments by maturity.
TOWN OF LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
Page 71
Credit Risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer. This is measured by the assignment
of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The summary of cash and investments table on the following page shows the minimum rating under the actual rating of the Town’s investments at year end.
Custodial Credit Risk is the risk that in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer)
to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The Town’s investment in money market fund and LAIF is not categorized as to custodial credit risk. Its U.S. Government Agency Securities investment is held by a third-party financial institution under the third party’s trust department’s name and thus not
exposed to custodial credit risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk is the risk that the Town’s investments are exposed because the types of investments have been too limited. The Town’s Policy states that, with the exception of US Treasury securities and LAIF, no more than 50% of the Town’s total investment portfolio will be invested in one
single security type or with a single financial institution. The Town was in compliance with this policy
as of June 30, 2023. The following table summarizes the Towns policy related to maturities and concentration of investments:
Maximum
Maximum Portfolio
Investment Type Maturity Percentage
US Treasury Obligations 5 years None
US Agency Obligations 5 years None
Bankers Acceptances 180 days 30%
Commercial Paper 270 days 25%
Medium Term Notes 5 years 30%

When either arrangement is used, Town Council will develop a 1 to 5-year reserve replenishment plan to meet the minimum threshold of 25% of General Fund ongoing, operating expenditures, excluding onetime expenditures. The arrangements can be used when:
• Unforeseen emergencies, such as a disaster or catastrophic event occur.
• Significant decrease in property or sales tax, or other economically sensitive revenues.
• Loss of businesses considered to be significant sales tax generators.
• Reductions in revenue due to actions by the state /federal government.
• Workflow/technical system improvements to reduce ongoing personnel costs and enhance
customer service.

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.9 percent for the Plans. To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for the Plans, 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 6.9 percent discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate
calculation is not necessary. The long-term expected discount rate of 6.9 percent will be applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed report that can be obtained from the CalPERS website. Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building
block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical
returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over the short-term
(first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-
term returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated
above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent. The table below reflects the long-term expected real rate of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital market assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. These rates of return are net of administrative expenses.

Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate
The following presents the Town’s net pension liability for the Plans, calculated using the discount rate for the Plans, as well as what the Town’s net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage point lower or 1-percentage point higher than the current rate:
Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Detailed information about each pension plan’s fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued CalPERS financial reports. Payable to the Pension Plans As of June 30, 2023, the Town reported a payable of $21,030 and $24,723 for the outstanding amount
of contributions to the Miscellaneous Agent Multiple Employer Plan and the Safety Cost Sharing Plan. IRS Section 115 Trust During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, the Town established an IRS Section 115 Trust with the CalPERS California Employer’ Pension Prefunding Trust (CEPPT) program. In fiscal year 2023, the
Town reported $1,400,163 as restricted cash with fiscal agent within the General Fund. Per GASB, amounts placed in trusts for CalPERS plans are treated as side trusts that do not directly reduce the net pension liability. NOTE 12 - OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Plan Description The Town makes contributions to California Employer’s Retiree Benefit Trust (CERBT), an agent multiple-employer defined benefit healthcare plan administered by CalPERS. The purpose of the CERBT Fund is to provide California government employers with a trust through which they may
prefund retiree medical costs and Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB). The Town uses CERBT 1 as its investment vehicle and requests disbursements on an as needed basis to reimburse the Town for the cost of retiree health insurance benefits. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute and Town ordinance. Copies of PERS' annual financial report may be obtained from their Executive Office, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
In accordance with the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA), employees qualify for retiree health benefits upon five (5) years of service if they meet the vesting requirements as

the employee must actually draw a CalPERS pension within ninety (90) days of separation from the Town, provided the employee remains with the Town's health plan through COBRA. For employees who retire on or after February 1, 2016, at Medicare eligibility, the Town will align contributions to the full cost of the employee’s enrollment, including enrollment of family members, in a health benefits plan
or plans up to a maximum of 100% Single Party and 90% Dependents for Kaiser Bay Area
Basic/Medicare/Combo per month. During negotiations in fiscal year 2018/19, the Town’s discretionary retiree medical benefit contribution was eliminated for all future hires. Upon retirement, employees have the option to roll over their sick leave accrual into a Town managed
fund. Employees can request reimbursement of medical expenses from the fund up to the value of their
sick leave at retirement. Employees Covered by Benefit Terms At June 30, 2023 (the measurement date), the benefit terms covered the following employees:
Contributions The contribution requirements of Plan members and the Town are established and may be amended by
the Town. The required contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements, with additional amounts to prefund benefits as determined annually by the Town Council. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Town contributed $1,733,337 from the General Fund. During the measurement period ended June 30, 2022, the Town contributed $1,754,922 to the Plan and benefit payments were $1,591,150.

Actuarial Assumptions
The following summarized the actuarial assumptions for the OPEB plan included in this fiscal year:
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.25 percent. The projection of cash flows
used to determine the discount rate assumed that Town contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and beneficiaries. 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.

NOTE 13 - RISK MANAGEMENT
The Town participates in the following public entity risk pools through formally organized and separate legal entities. The Town does not have an equity interest in the joint ventures. These entities exercise full powers and authority within the scope of the related agreements including the preparation of annual
budgets, accountability for all funds, the power to make and execute contracts and the right to sue and
be sued. Obligations and liabilities of the separate entities are not those of the Town, although the Town retains an ongoing financial interest or an ongoing financial responsibility. Pooled Liability Assurance Network Joint Powers Authority (PLAN JPA) The Town participates in PLAN, which covers general liability claims in the amount up to $5,000,000
plus $25,000,000 in excess liability for total coverage of $30,000,000 per occurrence. The Town has a
deductible or uninsured liability of up to $50,000 per claim. PLAN also provides all risk property coverage of $1,000,000,000, excluding flood and earthquake coverage. The Town has a $5,000 deductible for property and vehicle damage. Once the Town’s deductible is met, PLAN becomes responsible for payment of all claims up to the limit. Financial statements may be obtained from PLAN
at 1750 Creekside Drive, Suite 200, Sacramento, CA, 95833. Local Agency Workers’ Compensation Joint Powers Authority (LAWCX) The Town is a member of LAWCX for workers compensation claims coverage. The Town has a $250,000 self-insured retention level or uninsured liability for all employees. Once the Town’s deductible is met, LAWCX becomes responsible for claims up to $5,000,000. For claims greater than
$5,000,000, LAWCX has a commercial policy providing coverage. Financial statements may be obtained from LAWCX at 1750 Creekside Oaks Dr., Suite 200, Sacramento, California, 95833. The Town has not significantly reduced its insurance coverage from the prior year and settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage for the past three years. Liability for Uninsured Claims
The Town is required to record its liability for uninsured claims and to reflect the current portion of this
liability as an expenditure in its financial statements. As discussed above, the Town has coverage for such claims, but it has retained the risk for the deductibles, or uninsured portion of these claims. The change in Workers’ Compensation and Self-Insurance Service Funds’ claims liabilities, is based on historical trend information provided by its third party administrator and was computed as follows as of

Of the $1.9 trillion, $350 billion was directed toward state and local governments. All 19,000 municipal governments are entitled to a direct, noncompetitive federal formula grant from the U.S. Treasury Department. The portion allocated
to cities, towns, and villages totals $65.1 billion of which $19.5 billion is obligated toward cities with
less than 50,000 residents. The Act has allocated $7,229,744 to the Town over a two-year period. The first tranche payment of $3,614,862 was received on July 13, 2021, and the second payment was received on July 21, 2022. Section 603. Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund of the Act identified four eligible uses for funding, as follows:
A. to respond to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19) or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality; B. to respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID19 public health emergency
by providing premium pay to eligible workers of the metropolitan city, nonentitlement unit of
local government, or county that are performing such essential work, or by providing grants to eligible employers that have eligible workers who perform essential work; C. for the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue of such metropolitan city, nonentitlement unit of local government, or county due to the COVID19 public
health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year of the
metropolitan city, nonentitlement unit of local government, or county prior to the emergency; or D. to make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure.

ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 PROPRIETARY FUNDS INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Page 119
Internal service funds are used to finance and account for special activities and service performed by a designed department for other departments in the Town on a cost reimbursement basis.
The concept of major funds does not extend to internal service funds because they are used for internal activities only. In the Government-Wide Statement of Activities, the net revenues and expenses of the internal service funds are allocated to the Town departments or programs that generated them, thus eliminating internal service funds.
However, internal service funds are still presented separately in the fund financial statements and include the following funds: Equipment Fund was established to account for the replacement of major Town equipment and
all vehicle replacement. Workers’ Compensation Fund was established to account for future claims that may occur related to workers compensation injuries. Self-Insurance Fund was established to account for future general liability claims against the Town. Information Technology Fund was established to account for the replacement of management information computer systems and components.
Facilities Maintenance Fund was established to account for preventative maintenance and repair for all Town buildings.

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. 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 with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not

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