This memo pertains to the 2024 Certified Local Government Annual Report [Attachment 1], which was submitted to SHPO today, February 27, 2025. The Annual Report was presented to City Council at the February 4, 2025 Work Session and approved by the Historic Preservation Commission at their February 13, 2025 regular meeting. An amendment to the National Historic Preservation Act in 1980 created the Certified Local Government program. The creation of this program established a formal partnership between federal, state, and local governments and encouraged local governments to undertake historic preservation efforts. The program has four primary purposes: 1. Encourage historic preservation at the local level. 2. Encourage local governments to follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards & Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation in the administration of local historic preservation programs. 3. Provide technical assistance through SHPO. 4. Provide funding opportunities for preservation activities. The annual report is a requirement for maintaining the City's CLG status. The report summarizes the previous year's preservation activities, meetings, and trainings. In addition to being reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission, SHPO requires a presentation to the City Council at a public meeting, the report also requires the Mayor's signature on a signature form [Attachment 2]. A pdf of the upcoming awards presentation has been added to the portfolio section of the annual report. This is not included in the attached print. At the City Council's work session on February 4, staff presented a summary of the 2024 CLG Annual Report. The highlights of the report are as follows: • Staff provided technical and design assistance for potential historic review applications. • Staff processed 119 new applications for historic review. • One property was designated as local historic landmark: o 302-316 East Bloomington Street, The Slezak-Holub-Skarda Building • The 2024 Annual Awards Presentation will be held on February 27, 2025. • Staff administered the Historic Preservation Fund, which funded 9 projects in 2024. • Staff attended trainings on climate actions, substitute materials, and accessory dwelling units in historic districts.

Describe your communities historic preservation planning activities in this calendar year. For the 2024 calendar year, the Commission focused on three action items for their work plan: honoring the heritage of Oak Grove Park, forming a landmark/district subcommittee, and engaging with the public and City Council. Ongoing work was included with updates as appropriate. Additional goals and ideas were included in a long-term goal section. In January of 2025, the Commission approved the same plan, with any necessary updates, as the current work plan. 8.2. Describe your communities assistance with preservation issues or projects in this calendar year. Please be specific (address(es) of the property(ies), what was the issue(s), what assistance was provided. https://iowaartscouncil.slideroom.com/#/Submission/wizard/7897306/complete 4/16 2/20/25, 9:24 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority - SlideRoom - Submission Planning staff provides technical and design assistance to applications for Historic Review. The applicants are encouraged to meet with staff well ahead of time in the project planning process, prior to submitting an application, to discuss their projects. In 2024 the number of inquiries increased to the highest number so far with 312. Prior to this, the highest was in 2021 with 274 inquiries. From these initial inquires, in 2024 staff received and processed 119 applications plus three from the previous years that had been on hold. Thirteen of these applications were eventually voided as duplicates or unnecessary, some following initial review. The number of applications is equivalent with the all-time high of 118 for 2021. Staff continued to implement the Preservation Fund which was launched July 1, 2017. The Preservation Fund provides funding up to $5,000 per project as a matching grant or matching no -interest loan to property owners for eligible exterior work on historic properties in Historic or Conservation Districts or on Local Landmarks. Last year's budget increase of $2,000 was continued for FY2025 providing $42,000 per year. In the 2024 calendar year, 9 projects were approved. To date, we have approved 63 funding projects on 49 properties and have paid out $222,640 on projects valued at $559,387. We are currently under contract to provide $17,000 in funding toward $43,060 worth of work with two additional projects about to go under contract. Several larger projects included: • 726 Ronalds Street: Following the completion of the student build project at 724 Ronalds Street in the Brown Street Historic District, the Commission and staff again worked with the non-profit Housing Fellowship to approve a second student build project with a house on the other half of the divided lot. The project is currently under construction. • Deluxe Bakery, at 812 South Summit Street is located in the Summit Street Historic District. The ca 1900 property was originally a residence. A one-story storefront was added to the south side of the house prior to 1933. The building has had numerous uses before becoming a bakery. The public access currently includes steep concrete steps to the front entrance. Commission and staff worked with the owner and her architect to approve a new set of steps and a permanent accessibility ramp to this front door. The project is not yet under construction. • Staff and the Commission Chair worked with facility management staff to approve a metal shingle roof for the Ned Ashton house, a local landmark and NR-listed property owned by the City. While the building had asphalt shingles since its construction in 1947, the City wanted to install a roof with greater longevity. • 410-412 North Clinton Street, ca. 1865 the Cochrane-Sharpless-Dennis House was landmarked in 2021 as part of a development proposal including two adjacent lots. The houses on those lots would be demolished for a new multi -family housing structure with a lower wing and basement parking access which would extend north across the rear of the https://iowaartscouncil.slideroom.com/#/Submission/wizard/7897306/complete 5/16 2/20/25, 9:24 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority - SlideRoom - Submission landmark lot to the alley. Staff and the Commission completed the historic review of this complex project this year. 8.3. Please describe your community's public education programs in his calendar year. Please provide specific details such as date of event, description of the event, how many people participated, whether the commission partnered with other organizations. The Commission's main educational and outreach program each year is the annual awards program. Following last year's 40th Anniversary, we are transitioning from a program that is mostly produced by staff and an intern to one that is produced by a sub- committee of the Commission along with members of the local non-profit, Friends of Historic Preservation. For this reason, the awards presentation was postponed from fall 2024 to February 27, 2025. 9. Were there any issues, challenges or successes your preservation commission encountered or accomplished this year? One of the biggest challenges during the previous years has been of work completed without permits and the associated historic review. Typically, these projects are reported to staff by the public. Then the Commission must review the work as if it was not already complete. The owner or contractor either did not know they needed a permit and historic review for the work, or they knew but proceeded without them anyway. In most cases these projects have resulted in violations and fines and in some cases, the completed work needed to be removed so that it could be redone in compliance with the guidelines and Commission approval. Numbers decreased this calendar year as the City reviewed and revised its internal and external communication during the permitting and review process. As part of the changes to the review and permitting process, staff in multiple areas met to determine how to deal with single -trade permits and historic review. Since the zoning code requires historic review when a regulated permit is required and the project involves a material change to the exterior of a designated property, the goal of the meeting was to determine what constitutes a material change for some of the most common utility or trade permits. Most of the common projects that involve utility services or small pipe penetrations were determined to not need historic review. In February, City Council heard the appeal of an applicant, whose application to install an HVAC system with piping penetrating the primary facade of a local and NR-listed property was denied by the Commission. Council upheld the Commission's denial, asking them to work with the owner on alternatives. Since the work was completed previously without review and approval, the piping remains installed on the front facade and remediation has made no progress. https://iowaartscouncil.slideroom.com/#/Submission/wizard/7897306/complete 6/16 2/20/25, 9:24 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority - SlideRoom - Submission At the end of 2023, the Commission had decided to pursue local landmark designation for the Slezak-Holub-Skarda building at 302-316 East Bloomington Street. The building had been a visual and cultural landmark for decades. Friends of Historic Preservation (FHP) hired historian Jennifer Price to write an assessment of the building which was submitted to the State for a preliminary eligibility determination (for listing in the National Register). The assessment was included as a supporting document for the landmark zoning application. The Commission held a public hearing for the designation in February 2024. Following approval, the Commission worked with FHP and the Northside Neighborhood Association to encourage public support of the designation which was approved by City Council on May 31, 2024. The project took considerable public outreach. During this calendar year, the Commission was able to fill a seat that had been vacant for several years because it is a small district with few properties. Currently 10 out 12 seats are filled which makes it easier to achieve quorum (7 seats). Funding had been included in the FY2025 budget for the relocation, display, and replacement with a replica of the Summit Street Monument. There have also been questions about the final location for the preserved and displayed monument. The project is too involved to be completed within this year's budget and because of budget cuts in the coming year, funding for the project has been discontinued. Similarly, the additional $2,000 added to the Historic Preservation Fund is removed from the upcoming FY budget. The house at 1011 Woodlawn, which burned in the fall of 2022 and had been standing empty with no progress since then, had received numerous complaints throughout the year. Finally, it was sold in November 2024 to a new owner who is ready to take on the reconstruction and rehabilitation. Many of the legal challenges encountered in 2023 carried over into 2024. As noted in the amendment to the 2023 annual report, in 2024 the City of Iowa City responded to numerous legal claims related to a property located at 18 S. Clinton Street in Iowa City. 18 S. Clinton Street is one property within the National Register of Historic Places' federally listed Iowa City Downtown Historic District. 18 S. Clinton Street is not within a locally zoned historic district and is not a local historic landmark. 18 S. Clinton Street is currently occupied by a tenant, Short's Burger & Shine, LLC. Kevin Perez is an owner of Short's Burger & Shine, LLC. Below is a summary of claims from 2024, two of which have been dismissed: 1. Short's Burger & Shine, LLC v. Iowa City, EQCV084614 (Johnson County), alleged the City was required to undergo historic review before removing Short's illegally placed sidewalk cafe in July 2023. The district court dismissed this case on January 7, 2025 on summary judgment. 2. Short's Burger & Shine, LLC v. Iowa City, EQCV084666 (Johnson County), alleged the https://iowaartscouncil.slideroom.com/#/Submission/wizard/7897306/complete 7/16 2/20/25, 9:24 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority - SlideRoom - Submission City should have inspected 18 S. Clinton Street under the City's demolition by neglect ordinance and found that the property is being demolished by neglect in violation of Iowa City Code 14-313-7, which prohibits demolition by neglect of properties that are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Short's dismissed this lawsuit on July 18, 2024, as moot. 3. Kevin Perez & Short's Burger & Shine, LLC v. MidWestOne Bank, Trustee, Haywood B. Belle Family Trust; MidWestOne Bank; Dennis Mitchell; Kevin Mote; Sarah Wallace Belle; and City of Iowa City, CVCV085088 (Johnson County), alleging racial discrimination against Perez because the City allegedly aided and abetted MidWestOne Bank in the bank's attempt to evict Short's. This case is in the discovery phase and trial is scheduled for November 4, 2025. The City will continue to defend this lawsuit. 4. Short's Burger & Shine, LLC and Kevin Perez v. MidWestOne Bank, et al., 3:24-cv- 00059 (U.S. District Court, S.D. Iowa), alleges various claims against approximately 37 different defendants, including the City of Iowa City and City staff, including civil rights violations, conspiracy, and civil RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act). A motion to dismiss is currently pending. The City will continue to defend this lawsuit. 5. Kevin Perez v. City of Iowa City, Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission, Jessica Bristow, & Jordan Sellergren, EQCV085841 (filed November 13, 2024; acceptances of service filed December 2024), alleges the Historic Preservation Commission is required by law to place Kevin Perez on its agenda, instead of just allowing him time during public comment, so that he can make an interactive presentation about the history of 18 S. Clinton Street. The City has moved to dismiss this mandamus claim because Perez has no right to be placed on HPC's agenda to give an interactive presentation. Perez is welcome to present during public comment. In addition, open records requests have continued during this calendar year. Shawn Shearer, who is Short's and Perez's attorney, has currently made 64 open record requests, and the City has provided Mr. Shearer 10,092 pages of documents. Finally, the Commission was challenged by the suspension of its eligibility to receive pass through grants. 10. What partnerships did your commission form or continue with other entities? Examples include local main street office, local school, historical society, library, museum, service club, etc. If none, enter N/A In February 2020, staff had given a public presentation on the subject of African American Housing in Iowa City in the early 20th Century, with a focus on student housing. The presentation was taken largely from the National Register Nominations for the Tate Arms and the Iowa Federation Home for Colored Girls written by Richard Carlson. This presentation was not recorded. Due to the interest in this presentation, staff worked with https://iowaartscouncil.slideroom.com/#/Submission/wizard/7897306/complete 8/16 2/20/25, 9:24 AM Iowa Economic Development Authority - SlideRoom - Submission our local TV Channel/ Communications Department to record this presentation for our Equity/Human Rights Director. The Commission had voiced an interest in the planning for the replacement of the pool at City Park. The Parks and Recreation Director attended the March 2024 Commission meeting and provided them with the final update on the pool replacement. In September, the Parks and Recreation Director had asked staff and the Commission to comment on a proposal for naming a new park on the west side of Iowa City. The proposal had been submitted by former HPC Chair, Kevin Boyd. He proposed to name the park after Adelaide Joy Rogers who had run for Parks Commissioner in 1921 and despite defeat continued on as a local advocate for equal education opportunities for girls and women. 11.

Based on the work plan submitted last year for your commission please provide a self assessment of the progress your commission made on the initiatives and programs that were identified last year. In 2024, the Commission channeled most of their energy toward the local landmark designation of the Slezak/Holub Building because the building was for sale for the first time in its long history. Marketed as "development potential," the Commission worked on public outreach and education to inspire them to speak out to City Council on the landmark designation. This work was accomplished by the landmark and district sub- committee. Following this, an awards sub -committee was formed to manage the annual awards program, a part of the ongoing work of the Commission. 15. Where are your official CLG files located?

Phone number has changed to 319-356-5483 26. What training topic would be most helpful for your Historic Preservation Commission? The shortage of appropriately trained contractors is one of the greatest obstacles for preservation to overcome in our community. This is not a local -only issue. We need to develop solutions to this issue and maybe discussing as a state-wide group would help. One of the barriers to increasing the activity level of individual commissioners may be the reluctance to commit to participating in projects that take time and resources in short supply. Working through ways to encourage involvement or dividing complex projects into discreet tasks could be helpful. 27. Suggestions for improvement The CLG program is here to support the Historic Preservation Commissions across Iowa. Do you have any suggestions for how we can improve our services to your commissions? For CLGs with minimal interaction with SHPO, the state office can seem distant, and Commissioners may not understand the role SHPO can take or the resources they can provide to assist with the Commission's work. Local staff, regular emails, and annual summits certainly help disseminate information but maybe there are other methods to help too. Maybe short webinars or in -person visits could provide alternative methods of outreach. Commissions may not know what they do not know. Some of the best information may be showing commissions what other groups are doing that may help them too. 28.

Item Number: IP3. a CITY OF IOWA CITY "QF T-4 COUNCIL ACTION REPORT February 27, 2025 Quarterly Investment Report: October - December 2024 Attachments: Quarterly Investment Report- October: December 2024 City of Iowa City Quarterly Investment Report October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 Finance Department Prepared by: Emily Droll Senior Accountant -Revenue Overview The City of Iowa City's investment objectives are safety, liquidity and yield. The primary objective of the City of Iowa City's investment activities is the preservation of capital and the protection of investment principal. The City's investment portfolio remains sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet operating requirements that cash management procedures anticipate. Investments purchased by the City of Iowa City for the second quarter of this fiscal year had an average return of 4.31 %. The City purchased eleven new investments in this quarter. The Federal Funds Rate decreased to 4.33%. In investing public funds, the City's cash management portfolio is designed with the objective of regularly exceeding the average return on the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill. The Treasury Bill is considered a benchmark for riskless investment transactions and therefore comprises a minimum standard for the portfolio's rate of return. Since the city's investments are mostly between the six-month and twelve-month range, the yield curve for the twelve-month U.S. Treasury Bill has been added to the chart. The rolling average return on the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill for the prior 365 days was 4.996% and the twelve-month return was 4.698%. The investment program seeks to achieve returns above this threshold, consistent with risk limitations and prudent investment principles. The rate of return on the City's entire portfolio for the quarter was 4.20%. Investments for this year are $52,755,034 higher than last year. The increase in investments is due to investing more of the City's cash on hand as interest rates had high and were projecting to decrease in the future. City of Iowa City vs. 6 and 12 Month Treasury Bill 6.0 - 5.0 c Y O ho 3.0 a u N a 2.0 1.0 0.0 -. , Q --*—City of Iowa City 6 Month T-bill -A-12 Month T-bill Treasury bills and fed funds are competing investments in the money market. The federal funds rate is highly influential and often has a direct effect on the U.S. economy, because it serves as a base for interest rates offered by various financial and credit institutions to businesses and consumers. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. The Committee judges that the risks to achieving its employment and inflation goals are roughly in balance. The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate. In support of it's goals, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/2 percentage point to 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent. In considering additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage -backed securities. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.

City Council and City Manager City of Iowa City, Iowa i r miz ®c:rlkt WA a Mia I l CITY OF IOWA CITY The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (Annual Report) of the City of Iowa City, Iowa (the City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 is submitted herewith in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Code of Iowa. The City's Finance Department prepared this report. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data presented and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rest with the City. I believe the information, as presented, is accurate in all material respects and presented in a manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the City. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial affairs have been included. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal controls should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free of any material misstatement. Bohnsack & Frommelt, LLP, a firm of independent public accountants has issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion on the City's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024. Their opinion is included in the Financial Section of this report. The City is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Information to comply with the Uniform Guidance and "Government Auditing Standards" is included in the Compliance Section of this report. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. Profile of the Government The City of Iowa City was incorporated April 6, 1853. The City is governed by a seven member Council; each member serves a four-year term. Elections are held every two years allowing for continuation in office of at least three members at each biennial election. The Council members are elected at large, with three members nominated from specific districts and the remaining four members nominated at large. The Council elects the Mayor from its own members for a two-year term.

It also adopts a budget to determine how the City will obtain and spend its funds. The Council appoints members of boards, commissions and committees. The City Manager is the chief administrative officer for the City and is appointed by the City Council. The City Manager implements policy decisions of the City Council and enforces City ordinances. In addition, the City Manager appoints and directly supervises the directors of the City's operating departments and supervises the administration of the City's personnel system. The City Manager supervises 572 full-time and 62 part-time permanent municipal employees and 290 temporary employees, including a police force of 79 sworn personnel and a fire department of 66 firefighters. The City Clerk is appointed by the City Council and reports to the Council. The City Clerk's Office administers the City government's documentation, City licenses and permits, and provides information from the Municipal Code and City Ordinances to the public and other City departments. The City Clerk's Office is also responsible for distributing and maintaining accurate records of all City Council proceedings. The Clerk supervises 3 full-time employees. The City Attorney is also appointed by the City Council and works at the direction of the City Council. The City Attorney supervises the City Attorney's Office, including 4 Assistant City Attorneys and 2 other full-time employees. In addition, the City Attorney acts as Chief Legal Counsel to the City Council, City Manager, the various City departments and staff, and most City commissions, committees and boards. The City provides a full range of services including police and fire protection, construction and maintenance of roads, streets and infrastructure, inspection and licensing functions, a municipal airport, library, recreational activities, and cultural events. The City owns and operates its water supply and distribution system and sewage collection and treatment system with secondary treatment also provided. Virtually the entire City has separate storm and sanitary sewer systems. The City operates a municipal off-street and on -street parking system in the downtown area. The City also operates a transit system. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning and control. All departments of the City are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City Manager in October. The City Manager uses these requests as the starting point for developing a proposed budget. The City Manager then presents this proposed budget to the Council for review in December. The Council is required to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget no later than April 30t1i. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g., Public Safety), and department (e.g., Police). The City adopts a three-year financial plan that includes both operations and capital improvements. This three-year plan permits a more comprehensive review of the City's financial condition, allowing analysis of the current and future needs and requirements. During preparation of the plan, careful review is made of property tax levy rates, utility and user fee requirements, ending cash balances by fund, debt service obligations, bond financing needs, capital outlay for equipment purchases and major capital improvement projects. The state requires at least a one-year operating budget. While legal spending control is exercised at a state mandated function level, management control is set at the Department Manager level. Encumbrance accounting is utilized in all funds for budgetary control. Appropriations that are not spent lapse at the end of the year. Information Useful in Assessing the Government's Economic Condition The City's economic strength is based on the educational sector, medical services, and diversified manufacturing. The University of Iowa and the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics are the City's largest employers with over 25,800 employees. The University of Iowa had an enrollment in fall 2024 of 32,199 students, which is an increase of 543 students from 31,452 students in the fall of 2023. The academic and research missions of the University, along with the health care services provided at its hospitals and clinics, have an extremely positive economic impact on the area. The City also has a significant number of national and international businesses, including Fortune 500 companies: ACT Inc., NCS Pearson, and Procter & Gamble. In February 2018, Procter & Gamble announced that in approximately two years they would be shifting their beauty care products production from Iowa City to their West Virginia plant. The announced plan was to eventually reduce the workforce from approximately 600 down to 100 employees. This would also impact nearby businesses that produce bottles and labels for this production plant in Iowa City. In May 2020, Procter & Gamble announced that they were going to maintain more employees in Iowa City by maintaining its oral rinse production here and by shifting newer product lines here. In addition, Procter & Gamble has added and is expanding an electric toothbrush plant in Iowa City which is expected to employ several hundred employees; it currently has added approximately 100 employees. The estimated investment in this new facility has been nearly $100 million. Overall, the continued economic development efforts with the Iowa City and Coralville Chambers of Commerce, private interests, the University of Iowa, other surrounding communities, and Greater Iowa City, have produced positive results with the retention and expansion of businesses. In addition, Iowa's Creative Corridor is a seven -county alliance surrounding Iowa City and has been identified as one of the major growth areas for new business development in the State of Iowa. This Corridor gives employers workforce access to a region uniquely Iowan, founded with a manufacturing heritage, but actively seeking new frontiers and opportunities in information technology, biotechnology and bioprocessing, renewable energy, insurance and financial services, advanced manufacturing, and educational services. Continued developments within Iowa City and the region have a favorable impact upon the City's economy and growth. According to the 2020 census, the population of Iowa City is 74,828. This is an increase of 6,966 or 10.3% as compared to the 2010 census of 67,862. As a whole, the City's economy continues to grow, established firms continue to prosper and expand, and there are opportunities for growth for new businesses; however, the COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial short-term impact on the City's economy. The economy has mostly recovered from the pandemic and Iowa City's economy has continued to improve. As of June 2024, Iowa City's unemployment rate was 2.4% while the State of Iowa was at 3.0%, and the National rate was 4.3%. The rate of new housing construction also decreased substantially due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the City continues to see an increase in 2023 based on the number of building permits issued. New housing building permits consisted of 56 new single-family houses and duplexes in 2023 as compared to 98 in 2022; multi -family dwelling units added during calendar year 2023 was 474, compared to 258 in 2022. Altogether new housing additions totaled 530 units valued at $155,212,855 in 2023 versus a total of 356 units valued at $97,581,126 in 2022. The City did see an increase in 2023 of value amounts over pre COVID-19 totals valued at $124,362,697 in 2019, but still had unit numbers below that of 556 units from 2019. Also reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City had a decrease in commercial construction permits between 2019 and 2020. The value of permits for commercial construction increased from $7,179,000 in 2022 to $17,979,780 in 2023. The value of remodeling permits for residential and commercial properties increased from $34,628,799 in 2022 to $49,991,191 in 2023. Total permits issued in 2022 for all purposes was 543 permits for $152,715,321 which was more permits but less value than the 2023 total permit issuance of 492 permits for $275,401,574. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant short-term economic impact on the City of Iowa City; however, the City's unemployment rate has dropped steadily since its peak in April 2020 as the City's economy opened back up. The stability of the University of Iowa coupled with historically steady employment by the City's multi -sector base of manufacturing and service industries helps to insulate the City from significant negative impacts of economic recessions. The City's property valuations continue to rise which is indicative of the City's relative economic stability. Major Initiatives The City of Iowa City developed a 5 year Strategic Plan. The strategic planning process involved multiple steps, including gathering input from the general public, front-line City staff, department directors, and the City Council. This Strategic Plan builds on the City's previous plans to foster a more inclusive, just and sustainable Iowa City by prioritizing the physical, mental and economic well-being of all residents.

Establish the City of Iowa City as an employer of choice in the region with a pay plan, benefits package, and flexible work options that attract and retain high -quality and motivated public service employees. Carry out a multi -dimensional staff engagement initiative to ensure every City employee feels welcome, informed, involved, and engaged at work. Build a diverse talent pipeline. Financial Grow the tax base, consider alternative revenue sources, and leverage outside funding to maintain core services and pursue community priorities while maintaining equitable property tax rates. Exercise fiscal responsibility by maintaining and growing assigned and emergency reserve funds and prudent debt management. The City Council has also promoted private investment and re -development of other targeted areas throughout the community. The areas that are currently being focused on include the Riverfront Crossings area, the Downtown District, the Riverside Drive commercial area, and the Foster Road Urban Renewal Area. The Riverfront Crossing area is an initiative to revitalize the area south of Iowa City's downtown district. This area was hard hit by flooding in 2008 and ideas for improving the district were initiated as part of a combined flood mitigation plan. The district features a riverfront park with walking and biking trails, a variety of housing options near shopping, restaurants, a state-of-the-art recital hall and recreational facilities and is a short walk to downtown Iowa City and the University of Iowa campus. This area has seen significant development over the past few years. The Riverfront Crossings area is anchored by a 76.8 acre park that was formerly comprised of public facilities including the City's north wastewater treatment plant. An $8.5 million hazard mitigation grant from the State of Iowa assisted the City in removing the public facilities in this area and then converting the area into a riverfront park and wetland. Construction of phases 1 through 3 of the park began in 2017 and were completed during the fall of 2019; phase 4 of the park started in 2019 and was completed in the fall of 2020. On the north side of the Riverfront Crossing area, the University of Iowa recently constructed the Voxman School of Music. On the opposite side of the street, the redevelopment of an empty lot was completed in the spring of 2019 which includes a 7-story, mixed -use building with 40 apartment units, retail space on the street level, and office space on the second floor. An adjacent building houses a 7-story Element Hotel by Marriott. The estimated cost of these developments is approximately $40 million. On the back side of the School of Music, a new development has been approved for two new 15 story towers with up to 820 total units and 1,575 beds. This area is approximately one city block in size, will provide right-of-way to re -connect Capitol Street, and has an estimated investment of $200 million. In the Downtown District, the City completed a streetscape plan for the Central Business District which included lighting, landscaping, parking, utility improvements, artwork, and pedestrian amenities. Reconstruction and enhancements for the Washington Street corridor were completed in 2017 and reconstruction of Black Hawk mini -park and the downtown pedestrian mall were completed in 2020. Dubuque Street reconstruction was recently completed which included updating critical infrastructure, enhanced the retail environment with streetscape components and improved the pedestrian experience. Other future downtown streetscape projects are scheduled in the five-year capital improvement program. The downtown has also seen significant private development over the past few years. Private development in the downtown area includes a new project completed in 2022, which includes the historical renovation of several commercial buildings along the pedestrian mall and the construction of an I I -story, 120,000 square foot multi -residential with 102 residential units. The total project is estimated to cost $54.4 million. Other buildings in the downtown that have undergone major re -development recently include the Wilson Building and public space which has been developed into a 15-story mixed -use development known as the Chauncey; this building has 8 floors of residential units, a 35-unit hotel, two floors of commercial space, a movie theatre and a bowling alley. The project was estimated to cost $49 million. Also completed was the redevelopment of the City Hall parking lot and neighboring church into 126 residential units, parking, and commercial space. The project was estimated to cost $33.4 million. Also new in 2020, was the addition of a 13,000+ square foot Target in a large downtown store front that had been vacant for years. This store represents a trend away from big box stores on the edges of town and a focus on University related downtown foot traffic. The Riverside Drive commercial area is an area that stretches from the University of Iowa campus to the intersection of Highways 1 and 6 and is across the river from the Riverfront Crossings development area. The development of a 4-story, $16.1 million multi-family/student housing development in the Riverside Drive area was completed in late 2016, and adjacent to this development several new retail spaces including a gas station/marketplace and additional multi - residential housing units were also constructed or renovated. The City is developing a streetscape plan for this area which will include lighting, trails, landscaping, and other amenities and improvements. Construction of the streetscape and intersection improvements began in 2018 and were completed in 2020. Additional streetscape and trail improvements are planned for this area in the future. Development of the Foster Road Urban Renewal Area is underway which will convert a 53.29 acre wooded area north of the Downtown area and near Interstate 80 into a new residential/multi- residential development with a total estimated cost of approximately $33 million. A 53-unit, 55+ senior living facility was recently constructed, and an additional 52 townhomes are planned adjacent to the facility. The project also extended the Foster Road arterial from Dubuque Street to Prairie Du Chien Road, and the area will provide Low -Middle Income (LMI) funding through a tax increment district that can be used by the City anywhere to assist with the development of affordable housing. Long-term Financial Planning It is management's intent to support the major City Council initiatives through budget appropriations, departmental operations, and employee development so that the organization as a whole is moving in the same direction. The passage of property tax reform (SF295) by the state legislature in 2013 is still impacting the preparation of the year financial plan (FY2025 — FY2027). The property tax reform bill had multiple components including a property tax rollback for commercial and industrial property, which reduced the taxable value of these property types. The bill established a State funded "backfill" to reimburse the City for lost property tax revenues due to the commercial and industrial rollback. The State "backfill" payments began in fiscal year 2015 but were capped at the fiscal year 2017 levels for years thereafter. Beginning in fiscal year 2023, the State began phasing out the "backfill" and it will be fully phased out in five years. This bill also limited the annual taxable valuation growth of residential and agricultural property to 3 percent, instead of the previous limit of 4 percent. The impact of this provision is that the taxable percentage of residential property is expected grow at a slower pace. The City will not receive any money from the State due to lost revenue from this provision. SF295 also established a multi -residential property classification that includes mobile home parks, assisted living facilities, and property primarily intended for human habitation. A gradual rollback will be applied to these properties to eventually tax them similarly to residential property, rather than commercial, by fiscal year 2024. This will also not be reimbursed by the State of Iowa. Due to the passage of SF295, the City estimates its net revenue losses to be $26,848,000 for fiscal years 2015 through 2022. The cumulative net revenue loss from fiscal years 2015 through 2024 is estimated to be $41,126,902. It is possible that this could affect the City's ability to finance services at current levels without finding other revenue sources or more efficient ways to deliver services. In 2023 the state legislature passed additional property tax reform (HF718), which will have a significant impact on the City's budget starting with FY2025. In addition to eliminating two levies (Emergency Levy & Library Levy) that the City currently utilizes the bill also reduces the amount of growth that is allowed for the General Levy. The total impact of this new legislation has not been estimated yet, but it is anticipated that it will be at least a reduction of $1 million dollars annually. The City's long-term financial planning strategy is to promote targeted economic development, diversify its revenue structure, control spending and create efficiencies, and to build adequate reserves and contingencies into its financial structure. In addition, the City is annually reviewing and adjusting its user fees, service charges, and fine structures to try to maintain all of its major enterprise funds with a positive net income after depreciation but before capital contributions, transfers, and extraordinary items. The City also continues to strive to reduce the City's property tax levy rate to be competitive for economic development purposes. In fiscal year 2013, the City's property tax levy rate was $17.269 per $1,000 of assessed value. The property tax levy rate was reduced for nine consecutive years to $15.633 in fiscal year 2023 and remained at $15.633 in fiscal year 2024 and 2025. This has been a reduction of $1.636 per $1,000 of assessed value or 9.47% over that time period. In looking at expenses for the FY2023 — FY2026 Financial Plan and FY2025 operating budget, the City will generally experience increased expenditures; with General Fund expenditures and total operating expenditures growing at approximately 5% or less from FY2024 to FY2025. Bargaining unit cost -of -living wage increases are approximately 2% to 4% each year. In prior years, the budgeted full-time equivalents (FTE) has generally remained flat - from 607.66 in FY2015 to 608.18 in FY2020, but in FY2021, the permanent FTE count increases to 624.08 primarily due to the conversion of temporary workers to permanent part-time or permanent full-time positions. In FY2022 & FY2023, three additional positions were added each year bringing the City's total FTE to 630.90. In FY2024, 16.05 FTEs were added, bringing the total to 646.95.In FY2025, 3.25 FTEs were added, bringing the total to 650.20. The City has averaged a 8.44% increase in its health insurance premium rates over the previous eight years; however, is expecting a continued upward trend for health insurance rates in FY2025 and FY2026. Employee contributions, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums for health insurance increased in FY2024, and employee contributions for health insurance also increased in FY2024, which should help mitigate the impact to the City's overall premium increase. In FY2025 we are expecting to see increases as all expenditures are seeing continued increases due to inflation. In balancing the budget for the three-year period, the City attempts to mitigate the growth of costs while continuing to provide high quality services by identifying ways to provide services more efficiently, reviewing and updating existing revenue sources to meet strategic goals, strategically funding new programming and economic development to ensure strong property value growth, providing for necessary improvements to existing infrastructure, and upholding fiscal integrity by maintaining adequate cash reserves. 10 Awards and Acknowledgements The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting (the Certificate) to the City of Iowa City, Iowa for its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, business -type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2024, 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 (GARS) and the standards applicable to the 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 City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. 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 W and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists_ The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we: Exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit_ • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control -related matters that we identified during the audit_ Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information; schedule of changes in the City's total OPEB liability and related ratios, schedules of the City's proportionate share of the net pension liabilities for pension retirement systems, and schedules of the City's contributions for pension retirement systems, on pages 19-29 and 82-97 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. iV Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The supplementary information, as listed on the table of contents and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards required by Title 2, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information and Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our 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 December 3, 2024, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters_ The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. r Moline, Illinois December 3, 2024 17 (This page left blank intentionally.) 18 Management's Discussion and Analysis As management of the City of Iowa City, we present this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This narrative is intended to be used in conjunction with additional information that is included in the letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages 3 — 11 of this report. Financial Highlights • The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City of Iowa City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 by $801,843,000 (net position). Of this amount, $181,797,000 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors. • The City's total net position increased by $35,520,000 during the fiscal year. Governmental activities increased by $23,377,000 and business -type activities increased by $12,143,000. • At the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $135,558,000, an increase of $12,274,000 in comparison with the prior year. Of this total amount, approximately $46,146,000 or 34.0% is unassigned and available for spending at the City's discretion. • At the end of the current fiscal year, the City's unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was $46,149,000 or 74.5% of total General Fund expenditures. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government -wide Financial Statements: The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances in a manner similar to a private -sector business. The statement ofnetposition presents information on all of the City's assets and deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference 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 City is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the City'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 City 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 activities). The governmental activities of the City include Public Safety, Public Works (roads and traffic controls), Culture and Recreation, Community and Economic Development, General Government, and Interest on long-term debt. The business -type activities of the City include Airport, Housing Authority, Parking, Sanitation, Stormwater Collection, Transit, Wastewater Treatment, and Water. The government -wide financial statements may be found on pages 30 — 33 of this report. 19 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 City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. Governmental Funds: Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same function reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near -term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances ofspendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near -term financing requirements and is typically the basis that is used in developing the next annual budget. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. 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. The City has six major governmental funds: General Fund, Other Shared Revenue and Grants Fund, Employee Benefits Fund, Other Construction Fund, Bridge, Street and Traffic Control Construction Fund, and Debt Service Fund. Information is presented separately in the governmental funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for these major funds. Data from all other non -major governmental funds is combined into a single aggregated presentation and are referenced under a single column as "Other Governmental Funds". Individual fund data on each of these non - major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for all governmental funds as required by state statute. Budget comparisons have been provided for the Governmental funds and the Enterprise funds, to demonstrate compliance with the adopted budget. The basic governmental funds financial statements can be found on pages 34 — 37 of this report. Proprietary Funds: The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its Airport, Housing Authority, Parking, Sanitation, Stormwater Collection, Transit, Wastewater Treatment, and Water activities. Internal Service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's various functions. The City has four Internal Service Funds: Equipment Maintenance, Central Services, Loss Reserve, and Information Technology. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. Proprietary funds financial statements provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only in more detail. Transit, Wastewater Treatment, Water, Sanitation, Stormwater and Housing Authority are considered to be major funds and are reported individually throughout the report. The other two non -major enterprise funds are grouped together for reporting purposes and listed under a single heading "Other Enterprise Funds". Detailed information for each of the non -major funds is provided in the combining statements on pages 103 — 106. Individual fund data for the Internal Service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 38 — 40 of this report. Fiduciary Funds: Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not available to support the City's own programs and therefore are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements. The City has one fiduciary fund: Project Green, which is maintained as a custodial fund. 20 The basic fiduciary funds financial statements can be found on pages 41 - 42. Notes to Financial Statements: The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 43 - 80 of this report. Other Information: The combining statements referred to in the above paragraphs in connection with non - major governmental funds and internal service funds are presented immediately following the notes. Government -wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $801,843,000 at the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. By far, the largest portion of the City's net position reflect its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, building, machinery and equipment, improvements other than buildings, and infrastructure), net any related debt to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other resources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

The remaining balance of the unrestricted net position, $181,797,000 or 22.7%, may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors. At the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business -type activities. The following is a more detailed review of FY24's operation. Governmental Activities: Governmental activities increased the City's net position by $23,377,000. The increase in net position of governmental activities is primarily from an increase in earnings on investments and conservative budgeting. The total revenues for governmental activities for FY24 were $122,505,000. Governmental activities are primarily funded through taxes, $74,352,000 or 60.7%, and grants and contributions, $26,736,000 or 21.8%. Taxes decreased from the prior year by $258,000, which is relatively flat year over year. Grants and contributions increased from prior year by $6,829,000 due mainly to additional funding recognized from the American Rescue Plan Act in FY24. Expenses for governmental activities totaled $88,954,000. Governmental activities are tracked by function including Public Safety, Public Works, Community and Economic Development, Culture and Recreation, and General Government. In FY24, Public Safety accounted for the highest portion of governmental expenses, $29,255,000 or 32.9%, and increased over the prior year due to an increase in pension expense due to a increase in the net pension liability. Public Works expenses of $16,733,000 or 18.8% made up another large portion of the governmental expenses and had a decrease in expenses from the prior year. Culture and Recreation expenses of $18,664,000 or 21.0% made up the second highest portion of governmental expenses and had a slight increase in expenses from the prior year. Business -type Activities: Business -type activities increased the City's total net position by $12,143,000. The increase in net position was primarily from the Water and Stormwater funds. Water generated operating income of $608,000, had transfers in of $3,467,000, and received contributions of infrastructure of $266,000 from capital projects funds. Revenues for business -type activities totaled $72,513,000. The primary revenue source for business -type activities is charges for services, $45,608,000 or 62.9%. In addition for FY24, the City's business type -activities had a significant portion, $20,424,000 or 28.2%, of their revenues from grants and contributions used to help fund operation and capital projects for business -type activities. The total expenses for business -type activities in FY24 were $70,544,000. Housing Authority represented the highest portion of business -type activities, $13,277,000 or 18.8%, with Wastewater, $12,843,000 or 18.2%, Sanitation, $12,907,000 or 18.3% Water, $11,022,000 or 15.6%, and Transit, $10,604,000 or 15.0%, making up the remainder of the majority of business -type activities expenses.

Governmental Funds: The financial reporting focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information may be/is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. Fund balances for the governmental funds are reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based on the extent to which the government honors constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $135,558,000, an increase of $12,274,000 in comparison with the prior year. Of this total amount, $46,146 ,000 constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available to use as working capital for the General Fund since property tax revenues are received only twice a year and the remainder is available to meet the future needs of the City. The remainder of the fund balance is not available for new spending because of constraints imposed externally by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or constraints imposed internally on the specific purposes for which these amounts can be spent. The restricted fund balance of $64,297,000 or 47.4% contains external restraints on its use. The assigned fund balances of $18,437,000 or 13.6% have been identified by the City to be used for specific purposes. The nonspendable fund balance is $6,678,000 or 4.9%, which the City is contractually required to maintain intact or cannot be spent because it is in a nonspendable format, such as inventories. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund was $46,149,000 while General Fund's total fund balance was $73,445,000. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned fund balance represents 74.5% of total General Fund expenditures of $61,923,000, while total fund balance represents 118.6% of that same amount. During the current fiscal year, the fund balance of the City's General Fund increased by $11,409,000. This is due to transfers in from other funds. The fund balance in the Bridge, Street, and Traffic Control Construction Fund was $16,708,000, an increase of $1,346,000. This fund accounts for transactions relating to the acquisition or construction of major streets, bridges, and traffic control facilities. The fund balance in the Other Construction Fund was $12,049,000, a decrease of $1,879,000. This fund accounts for the construction or replacement of other governmental general capital assets, such as administrative buildings, with various funding sources, including general obligation bonds, intergovernmental revenues, and contributions. This decrease is mainly due to the timing of bond sales. The ending fund balance of the Debt Service Fund was $7,608,000, an increase of $182,000, all of which is reserved for the payment of debt service (i.e. payment of general obligation principal and interest). The ending fund balance of the Employee Benefits Fund was $3,577,000, a decrease of $711,000. The ending fund balance of the Other Shared Revenue and Grants Fund was $17,356,000, an increase of $1,221,000 due to the recognition of ARPA funds. 41- Proprietary Funds: The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government -wide financial statements, but in more detail. The ending net position of the enterprise funds was $424,000,000, an increase in net position of $10,411,000. This was primarily due to capital contributions of federal and state grants to fund capital improvement projects and transfers of business -type capital assets from governmental capital project funds. Of the enterprise funds' net position, $332,087,000 is net investment in capital assets. Unrestricted net position totaled $86,621,000, an increase of $6,382,000 compared to the previous year. The Internal Service funds showed net position totaling $66,494,000 as of June 30, 2024, an increase of $6,898,000 primarily due to operating income in the Equipment Maintenance and Loss Reserve Funds to build up reserves for future expenses and capital outlay. Budgetary Highlights The City presents budgetary information as allowed by GASB Statement No. 41. Budgets are based on nine functional areas as required by state statute, not by fund or fund type. The City had two budget amendments during the fiscal year. These amendments increased budgeted revenues by $11,484,000 or 6.5% to a total of $188,728,000 and the expenditure budget by $91,187,000 or 41.4% to a total of $311,295,000. These increases were due primarily to capital projects in governmental and business - type funds because of timing of completion of projects. Capital Assets and Debt Administration Capital Assets: The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business -type activities as of June 30, 2024 amounts to $627,836,000, net of accumulated depreciation. This investment in capital assets, including land, buildings, improvements other than buildings, equipment, streets, bridges, trails, wastewater and water systems, and other infrastructure represents the value of resources utilized to provide services to its citizens. The City's investment in capital assets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 increased by $5,267,000 for governmental activities compared to the prior year and increased by $5,994,000 for business -type activities from the prior year. The following table reflects the $627,836,000 investment in capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation.

The first is the Influent Rake & Screen Replacement. This project includes replacing an old asset with new influent rake and screen system. This project had construction in progress balance at the beginning of the year of $2,042,000 and current year expenditures of $1,000. The total cost of the project that was capitalized was $2,044,000. The project was funded through Wastewater operating funds. Another project is the Second Avenue Bridge Replacement. This project consisted of replacing a bridge on Second Avenue. It had construction in progress balance at the beginning of the year of $1,377,000, and current year expenditures of $15,000. The total cost of the project that was capitalized was $1,392,000 and it was primarily funded through federal grants and transfers in of Road Use Tax dollars. The third project, Fairchild Street Reconstruction, reconstructed several blocks along Fairchild Street. This project was capitalized at $1,790,000 with current year expenses of $1,140,000 and a beginning construction in progress balance of $656,000. Additional information on the City's capital assets can be found in Note 5 to the financial statements. Debt Administration: At the end of the fiscal year, the City had total bonded debt outstanding of $64,785,000. Of this amount, $52,980,000 comprises debt backed by the full faith and credit of the City. $538,000 or 1.0% of the general obligation bonds is debt that will be paid with Tax Increment Financing revenues. $11,805,000 represents revenue bonds secured solely by specific revenue sources. The City issued $10,140,000 of General Obligation bonds during FY24. This increase in debt was offset by the retirement of debt for a net increase of City's total bonded debt by $65,000.

The City's bond ratings by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. as of June 30, 2024 were as follows: General obligation bonds Wastewater treatment revenue bonds Water revenue bonds Aaa Aa2 Aa2 The City continues to operate well under the State debt capacity debt limitations. State statute limits the amount of debt outstanding to 5% of the assessed value of all taxable property in Iowa City. Debt subject to the debt limit includes general obligation debt and revenue bonds issued pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 403 (tax increment). The current debt limitation for the City is $368,416,000. With outstanding debt applicable to this limit of $93,930,000 we are utilizing 25.5% of this limit. More detailed information on debt administration is provided in Note 6 of the financial statements. 28 Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget and Rates The City expects continued constraints by the State's property tax formula. The State passed property tax reform, which will negatively affect the City's general operating funds. Without the potential for new revenue sources, like those mentioned above, the City's opportunities for new initiatives are limited.

The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds are included in governmental activities in the statement of net position. Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current period expenditures and therefore are unavailable in the funds: Grants and other receivables - Earned but unavailable.

Capital outlays and contributed capital assets exceeded depreciation expense in the current year as follows: Expenditures for capital assets $ 13,305 New IT subscription asset, financed 90 Capital assets contributed 371 Depreciation/amortization expense (8,861) 4,905 Bond proceeds are reported as other financing sources in governmental funds and thus contribute to the change in fund balance. In the statement of net position, however, issuing debt increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the statement of activities. Similarly, repayment of principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds but reduces the liability in the statement of net position. Debt issued (10,230) Premium on bonds issued (720) Subscription issued (90) Repayments of subscription liability 95 Repayments of debt 11,030 Amortization of premium 547 632 Because some revenues will not be collected for several months after the City's year end, they are not considered available revenues in the governmental funds. (111) Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds: Change in accrued compensated absences 23 Pension expense 1,064 Change in accrued post employment benefit liability (405) Change in accrued interest on debt (9) In the statement of activities, only the gain on the sale of the capital assets is recognized, whereas in the governmental funds, the proceeds from the sale increased financial resources. Thus, the change in net position differs from the change in fund balance by the cost of the capital asset sold. (162) Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities to individual funds. The net revenue of certain activities of internal service funds is reported with governmental activities. 5,166 Change in net position of governmental activities $ 23,377 The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. 37 City of Iowa City, Iowa Statement of Net Position Proprietary Fonds June 30, 2024 (amounts expressed in thousands) Governmental Business -Type Activities -

Accounting Policies The City of Iowa City, Iowa, (the City) was incorporated April 6, 1853, and operates under the Council/Manager form of government. The City provides a broad range of services to its citizens including general government, public safety, streets, parks, and cultural facilities. It also operates an airport, a mass transportation system, parking facilities, water treatment, wastewater treatment, storm water collection, sanitation collection and disposal (including landfill operations) and a housing authority. The financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard -setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant accounting policies of the City are described below. The Reporting Entity For financial reporting purposes, the City includes all of its funds, organizations, agencies, boards, commissions, and authorities. The City has also considered all potential component units for which it is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has set forth criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. These criteria include appointing a voting majority of an organization's governing body, and (1) the ability of the City to impose its will on that organization or (2) the potential for the organization to provide specific benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. There were no component units required to be included. Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report information on all of the non -fiduciary activities of the primary government. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The Statement of Net Position presents the City's nonfiduciary assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Net position is reported in the following categories: Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization and reduced by outstanding balances for bonds, notes and other debt attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Restricted net position results when constraints placed on net position use are either externally imposed or are imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted net position consists of net position not meeting the definition of the preceding categories. Unrestricted net position is often subject to constraints imposed by management which can be removed or modified. 43 The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported as general revenues. As a general rule, the effect of inter -fund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's water and sewer function and various other functions of the government. Eliminations of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Description of Funds These financial statements include all funds owned or administered by the City or for which the City acts as custodian. The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The fund categories are governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, net position, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. The individual funds account for the governmental resources allocated to them for the purpose of carrying on specific activities in accordance with laws, regulations, or other restrictions. Basis of Accounting The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its "measurement focus." The government -wide financial statements, proprietary funds, and custodial funds are accounted for on the flow of economic resources measurement focus and use the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus, which generally includes only current assets and current liabilities on the balance sheet. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for these funds. Under the modified accrual basis, revenue is recognized when susceptible to accrual, which is in the period in which it becomes both available (collectible within the current period or soon thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period) and measurable (the amount of the transaction can be determined). Revenue accrued includes property taxes, intergovernmental revenue, and interest earned on investments (if they are collected within 60 days after the year-end). Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on long-term debt, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. The City reports the following major governmental funds: The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. The Other Shared Revenue and Grants Fund is used to account for revenue from various sources, primarily road use tax monies from the State of Iowa and reimbursable programs funded by federal and state grants. 44 The Employee Benefits Fund is used to account for the employee benefits related to those employees who are paid through governmental fund types, which are funded by a separate property tax levy. The Other Construction Fund accounts for the construction or replacement of other City general capital assets, such as administrative buildings with various funding sources, including general obligation bonds, intergovernmental revenues, and contributions. The Bridge, Street, and Traffic Control Construction Fund accounts for the construction or replacement of infrastructure capital assets, such as streets, bridges, dams, sidewalks, and lighting system. The Debt Service Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources for the payment of general long term debt principal, interest, and related costs. The City reports the following major proprietary funds: The Transit Fund is used to account for the operation and maintenance of the public transportation system. The Wastewater Treatment Fund is used to account for the operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment facility and sanitary sewer system. The Water Fund is used to account for the operation and maintenance of the water system. The Sanitation Fund is used to account for the operation and maintenance of the solid waste collection system and landfill. The Stormwater Fund is used to account for the operation and maintenance of the stormwater utility system. The Housing Authority Fund is used to account for the operations and activities of the City's low and moderate income housing assistance and public housing programs. The City has two nonmajor enterprise funds, the Airport Fund is used to account for the operation and maintenance of the airport facility and the Parking Fund is used to account for the operation and maintenance of the "on" and "off' street public parking facilities. Additionally, the City reports internal service funds to account for goods and services provided by one department to other City departments on a cost reimbursement basis. The funds in this category are the Equipment Maintenance Fund, Central Services Fund, Loss Reserve Fund, and the Information Technology Fund. The City also reports a custodial fund account for monies held for Project Green, a local 501(c)(3) not -for - profit agency. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non -operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's enterprise funds and of the City's internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non -operating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Uses of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue, expenditures and expenses, as appropriate, during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near -term relate to the determination of other postemployment benefit obligation, net pension liability, landfill closure and post -closure care costs, total capacity of the landfill at closure, and calculation of the costs of claims incurred, but not reported. Cash and Investments The City maintains one primary demand deposit account through which the majority of its cash resources are processed. Substantially all investment activity is carried on by the City in an investment pool, except for those funds required to maintain their investments separately. The earnings on the pooled investments are allocated to the funds on a systematic basis. All investments are stated at fair value except for the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) which is valued at amortized cost pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, restricted and non -restricted investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. Receivables and Revenue Recognition Property tax receivable is recognized in governmental funds on the levy or lien date, which is the date that the tax asking is certified by the City to the County Board of Supervisors. Current year delinquent property tax receivable represents unpaid taxes from the current year. The succeeding year property tax receivable represents taxes certified by the City to be collected in the next fiscal year for the purposes set out in the budget for the next fiscal year. By statute, the City is required to certify its budget to the County Auditor by March 31 of each year for the subsequent fiscal year. However, by statute, the tax asking and budget certification for the following fiscal year becomes effective on the first day of that year. Although the succeeding year property tax receivable has been recorded, it will not be recognized as revenue until the year for which it is levied. Federal and state grants are recorded as receivables and the revenue is recognized during the period in which the City fulfills the requirements for receiving the grant awards, as long as the susceptible to accrual criteria are met. Income from investments in all fund types and from charges for services in proprietary fund types is recognized when earned. Licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, fees and refunds, charges for services (in governmental fund types), miscellaneous, and other revenues are recorded as revenue when received in cash because they are generally not measurable until actually received. Inventories Inventories are recognized only in those funds in which they are material to the extent of affecting operations. For the City, these are the Other Shared Revenue and Grants Fund, Transit Fund, Water Fund, and the Equipment Maintenance Fund. Inventories of materials and supplies are determined by actual count and priced on the FIFO method in the Other Shared Revenue and Grants Fund and the average cost method for the Transit, Water and Equipment Maintenance Fund. Leases The City is a lessor for several noncancellable leases of City property. The City recognizes lease receivables and deferred inflows of resources at the commencement of the lease term in the governmental ►i activities, the business type activities, governmental, business type, and internal service fund financial statements. As lessor, the assets underlying the lease are not derecognized. At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term. Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, lease term and lease receipts. The City uses its most recent borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable. Subscription -Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA) The City has entered into contracts that convey control of the right to use information technology software. The City has recognized subscription liabilities and intangible right -to -use IT subscription assets in the government -wide financial statements, and in the proprietary fund financial statements. At the commencement of the IT subscription term, the City initially measures the subscription liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Subsequently, the IT subscription liability is reduced by the principal portion of payments made. The right -to -use IT subscription asset is initially measured as the sum of the initial IT subscription liability, adjusted for payments made at or before the commencement date, plus capitalization implementation costs less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term. Subsequently, the right -to -use IT subscription asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Key estimates and judgments related to IT subscription arrangements include how the City determines the discount rate it uses to discount the expected payments to present value, term and payments. The City uses its most recent borrowing rate as the discount rate. The IT subscription term includes the noncancellable period of the subscription. Payments included in the measurement of the liability are composed of fixed payments. The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its IT subscription and will remeasure the right -to -use IT subscription asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the subscription liability. Right -to -use IT subscription assets are reported with other capital assets and IT subscription liabilities are reported with long-term debt on the statement of net position. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, buildings, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, water mains, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -wide financial statements. The City follows the policy of not requiring 47 capitalization of an asset with an initial, individual cost of less than $50,000 for infrastructure, $25,000 for buildings and improvements, and $5,000 for equipment assets. Such assets are recorded at original purchase cost or at acquisition value at the date of donation when received as donated properties. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Infrastructure 3 — 100 years Buildings and structures 20 — 50 years Improvements other than buildings 10 — 50 years Vehicles 2 — 20 years Other equipment 3 — 30 years Deferred Outflows of Resources Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. Deferred outflows of resources consist of unrecognized items not yet charged to pension and OPEB expense and contributions from the employer after the measurement date but before the end of the employer's reporting period. Bond Premiums and Discounts Debt issued at a premium or discount is recorded net of the unamortized premium or discount. In the governmental funds, premiums and discounts are recorded entirely as other financing sources or uses in the year of issuance. In the proprietary funds and the government -wide statements, they are amortized over the life of the bonds. Compensated Absences Permanent City employees accumulate vacation and sick leave hours for subsequent use or for payment upon death, resignation, or retirement. The City pays its employees (except firefighters) one-half of the accumulated sick leave at the time of termination on the basis of the employee's then effective hourly base salary, provided that the dollar amount of the payment may be up to, but not exceed, the amount that an employee would be paid if the employee had terminated on June 28, 1985. Employees hired on or after June 29,1985, are not eligible for payment of accumulated sick leave upon termination, death, or retirement. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System and the Municipal Fire and Police Retirement System (Systems') and additions to/deductions from the Systems' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Systems. 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. Landfill Closing Costs Costs expected to be incurred in ultimately closing the present landfill site are being systematically provided for through charges to expense over the estimated useful life of the landfill on the basis of capacity used (see Note 8). Deferred Inflows of Resources Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Although certain revenues are measurable, they are not available. Available means collected within the current year or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current year. Deferred inflows of 48 resources in the governmental fund financial statements represent the amount of assets that have been recognized, but the related revenue has not been recognized since the assets are not collected within the current year or expected to be collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current year. The lease related deferred inflows is the unamortized portion of the lease receivable. Deferred inflows of resources consist of property tax receivable, lease related deferred inflows, grants receivable and other receivables. Deferred inflows of resources in the Statement of Net Position consist of succeeding year property tax receivable that will not be recognized as revenue until the year for which they are levied, the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and it's acquisition price, lease related deferred inflows, and the unamortized portion of pension and OPEB related items. Budgetary and Legal Appropriation and Amendment Policies The City prepares and adopts an annual function budget, as prescribed by Iowa statutes, for all funds except internal service and custodial funds. This is formalized in a separate budgetary report, the Financial Plan. This budget is adopted on or before April 30 of each year to become effective July 1 and constitutes the City's appropriation for each program and purpose specified therein until amended. The adopted budget must include the following: a. Expenditures for each function: Public safety Public works Health and social services Culture and recreation Community and economic development General government Debt service Capital projects Business-type/enterprise b. The amount to be raised by property taxation c. Income from sources other than property taxation d. Transfers in and transfers out The legal level of control (the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is the function level for all funds combined, rather than at the individual fund level. Management can transfer appropriations within a function, within a fund type, and between fund types, without the approval of the governing body so long as the total budget by function area will not be exceeded. It is necessary, therefore, to aggregate the expenditures of the budgeted activities within the governmental fund types with the expenditures of the budgeted activities within the enterprise funds on a function basis, and to compare such function totals to function budgeted totals in order to demonstrate legal compliance with the budget. The City's budget for revenue focuses on aggregated totals by revenue source. The City formally adopts budgets for several funds that are not required by state law to be included in the annual function budget. Annual operating budgets are adopted for the internal service funds for management control purposes. Such budgets, however, are not legally required to be adopted under state statutes. A City budget for the current fiscal year may be amended for any of the following purposes as prescribed by Iowa statute: a. To permit the appropriation and expenditure of unexpended, unencumbered cash balances on hand at the end of the preceding fiscal year. b. To permit the appropriation and expenditure of amounts anticipated being available from sources other than property taxation. c. To permit transfers between funds. d. To permit transfers between functions. 49 A budget amendment must be prepared and adopted in the same manner as the original budget. The City's budget was amended as prescribed, and the effects of those amendments are shown in the accompanying budgetary comparison schedule. The original budget was increased by $35,049,504 in revenues and other financing sources and by $112,860,046 in expenditures and other financing uses. Appropriations, as adopted or amended, lapse at the end of the fiscal year. As allowed by GASB Statement No. 41, Budgetary Comparison Schedules — Perspective Differences, the City presents budgetary comparison schedules as required supplementary information based on the program structure of nine functional areas as required by state statute for its legally adopted budget. Restricted Assets Assets within the individual funds, which can be designated by the City Council for any use within the fund's purpose, are considered to be unrestricted assets. Assets, which are restricted for specific uses by bonded debt requirements, grant provisions, or other requirements, are classified as restricted assets. Liabilities, which are payable from restricted assets, are classified as such. Classification of Fund Balances Fund balances for the governmental funds are reported in classifications based on the nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes (see Note 9). Net Position Net position represents the difference between assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Net investment in capital assets excludes unspent bond proceeds. As of June 30, 2024, there were unspent bond proceeds totaling $18,934,567 in governmental activities. Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on its use through enabling legislation or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments. Net position restricted through enabling legislation consists of $3,953,000 for employee benefits, $19,024,000 for capital projects, $7,419,000 debt service, $237,000 for police, $3,251,000 for grant agreements, and $10,432,000 for other purposes. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed. 2. Cash and Pooled Investments The City's deposits in banks at June 30, 2024 were entirely covered or collateralized by federal depository insurance, national credit union administration, letters of credit held by the City or by the State Sinking Fund in accordance with Chapter 12C of the Code of Iowa.

In addition, the City had investments in the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT), which are valued at an amortized cost of $21,843,943, which approximates fair value. The Diversified Portfolio consists of cash and short-term investments valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, pursuant to Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 79. The Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) represents an investment in a pool managed by others. IPAIT is a common trust established under Iowa law pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 28E in 1987 to enable eligible Iowa public agencies to safely and effectively invest their available operating and reserve funds. IPAIT is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Interest rate risk - The City's investment policy limits the investment of operating funds to investments that mature within 397 days. The portion of operating funds in excess of 33% of operating funds may be invested in certificates of deposit which mature within 63 months or less. Funds not identified as operating funds may be invested in instruments with maturities longer than 397 days. Credit risk. State law limits investments to commercial paper and corporate bonds to the top two ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. It is the City's policy to comply with rating restrictions.

Concentration of credit risk. The City investment policy limits the amount that may be invested in any one issuer to a maximum amount approved by the City Council. Due to legal and budgetary reasons, the General Fund is assigned a portion of the investment earnings associated with other funds. These funds are the Employee Benefits, Other Shared Revenue and Grants, and Sanitation funds. 51 3.

The use and the amounts to be included in the accounts are as follows: Account (a) Revenue Bond and Interest Amount sufficient to pay current bond and interest maturities. Sinking Reserve (b) Revenue Debt Service Reserve Amount required to be deposited in the Revenue Bond and Interest Reserve until the reserve fund equals: Taxable Urban Renewal Revenue bonds — maximum debt service due on the bonds in any succeeding fiscal year. Water Revenue bonds — 10% of the original principal amounts of all related bond issues. (c) Improvement Reserve $5,000 per month until the reserve balance equals or exceeds $450,000 for Water Revenue bonds, with no further deposits once the minimum balance is reached. If the reserve falls below the required minimum, monthly transfers in the aforementioned amounts will resume. In fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Water Fund had net revenues of $3,932,000 and the amount of principal and interest due was $1,801,000.

Capital Loan Note Payable On April 26, 2024 the City entered into an agreement with the Iowa Finance Authority for up to $3,322,000 to be used for the purpose of paying for the planning and design costs for the Wastewater Gas Digester Improvements project. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the City drew $788,425 on the note, and as of June 30, 2024, $788,425 is owed in relationship to this note. This note is due April 26, 2027. This note was issued pursuant to Chapters 76.13 and 384.24A of the Code of Iowa in anticipation of the receipt of and are payable from the proceeds of an authorized loan agreement and the corresponding issuance of water revenue bonds. The capital loan note payable has a term of three years. 61 Conduit Debt Obligations From time to time, the City has issued Industrial Development Revenue Bonds and Midwestern Disaster Area Revenue Bonds to provide financial assistance to private sector entities for the acquisition, construction, and renovation of industrial and commercial facilities deemed to be in the public interest. The bonds are collateralized by the property financed and are payable solely from payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. All payments on the bonds are made by the private sector entities directly to a bond trustee, who is a third -party financial institution, and in turn, disburses the payment to the respective bond holders. Neither the City, the State, nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated in any manner for repayment of the bonds. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. The City has not extended any additional commitments beyond the collateral, the payments from the private sector entities on the underlying mortgage loans, and maintenance of the tax- exempt status of the conduit debt obligation were extended by the City for and of the bonds. As of June 30, 2024, there were two series of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds outstanding, with an aggregate principal amount payable of $4,711,298. Debt Legal Compliance Legal Debt Margin: As of June 30, 2024, the general obligation debt issued by the City did not exceed its legal debt limit computed as follows (amounts expressed in thousands): Assessed valuation: Real property $ 7,206,677 Utilities 161,652 Total valuation Debt limit, 5% of total assessed valuation Debt applicable to debt limit: General obligation bonds Urban renewal revenue bonds Capital loan note payable Notes payable (Note 8) Subscription liabilities (Note 8) Other legal indebtedness (TIF rebates)(Note 11) Total net debt applicable to limit Legal debt margin 7. Pension and Retirement Systems 7,368,329 368,416 52,980 9,925 788 211 406 29,620 93,930 $ 274,486 The City contributes to two employee retirement systems, the Municipal Fire and Police Retirement System of Iowa (MFPRSI) and the Iowa Public Employees Retirement System (IPERS). MFPRSI is governed by a nine -member Board of Trustees. Though separate and apart from state government, the Board is authorized by the state legislature, which also establishes by statute the pension and disability benefits and the System's funding mechanism. IPERS is administered by the State of Iowa. All full-time employees must participate in either MFPRSI or IPERS. As of June 30, 2024, the City had the following balances related to its pension accounts: IPERS MFPRSI Total Net Pension Liability $ 19,005,162 $ 22,064,192 $ 41,069,354 Deferred Inflows 229,246 883,593 1,112,839 Deferred Outflows 7,439,034 6,778,287 14,217,321 Pension Expense 1,679,808 2,962,813 4,642,621 62 For the governmental activities, net pension liability is generally liquidated by the General Fund, Community Development Block Grant Fund and Other Shared Revenue and Grants Fund. Municipal Fire and Police Retirement System of Iowa (MFPRSI) Plan Description MFPRSI membership is mandatory for fire fighters and police officers covered by the provisions of Chapter 411 of the Code of Iowa. Employees of the City are provided with pensions through a cost -sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plan administered by MFPRSL MFPRSI issues a stand-alone financial report which is available to the public by mail at 7155 Lake Drive, Suite 9201, West Des Moines, Iowa 50266 or at www.mfprsi.org. MFPRSI benefits are established under Chapter 411 of the Code of Iowa and the administrative rules thereunder. Chapter 411 of the Code of Iowa and the administrative rules are the official plan documents. The following brief description is provided for general informational purposes only. Refer to the plan documents for more information. Pension Benefits Members with 4 or more years of service are entitled to pension benefits beginning at age 55. Full service retirement benefits are granted to members with 22 years of service, while partial benefits are available to those members with 4 to 22 years of service based on the ratio of years completed to years required (Le., 22 years). Members with less than 4 years of service are entitled to a refund of their contribution only, with interest, for the period of employment. Benefits are calculated based upon the member's highest 3 years of compensation. The average of these 3 years becomes the member's average final compensation. The base benefit is 66 percent of the member's average final compensation. Additional benefits are available to members who perform more than 22 years of service (2 percent for each additional year of service, up to a maximum of 8 years). Survivor benefits are available to the beneficiary of a retired member according to the provisions of the benefit option chosen plus an additional benefit for each child. Survivor benefits are subject to a minimum benefit for those members who chose the basic benefit with a 50 percent surviving spouse benefit. Active members, at least 55 years of age, with 22 or more years of service have the option to participate in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP). The DROP is an arrangement whereby a member who is otherwise eligible to retire and commence benefits opts to continue to work. A member can elect a 3-, 4-, or 5-year DROP period. By electing to participate in DROP the member is signing a contract indicating the member will retire at the end of the selected DROP period. During the DROP period the member's retirement benefit is frozen and a DROP benefit is credited to a DROP account established for the member. Assuming the member completes the DROP period, the DROP benefit is equal to 52% of the member's retirement benefit at the member's earliest date eligible and 100% if the member delays enrollment for 24 months. At the member's actual date of retirement, the member's DROP account will be distributed to the member in the form of a lump sum or rollover to an eligible plan. Disability and Death Benefits Disability coverage is broken down into two types, accidental and ordinary. Accidental disability is defined as permanent disability incurred in the line of duty, with benefits equivalent to the greater of 60 percent of the member's average final compensation or the member's service retirement benefit calculation amount. Ordinary disability occurs outside the call of duty and pays benefits equivalent to the greater of 50 percent of the member's average final compensation, for those with 5 or more years of service, or the member's service retirement benefit calculation amount, and 25 percent of average final compensation for those with less than 5 years of service. Death benefits are similar to disability benefits. Benefits for accidental death are 50 percent of the average final compensation of the member plus an additional amount for each child, or the provisions for ordinary death. Ordinary death benefits consist of a pension equal to 40 percent of the average final compensation of the member plus an additional amount for each child, or a lump -sum distribution to the designated 63 beneficiary equal to 50 percent of the previous year's earnable compensation of the member or equal to the amount of the member's total contributions plus interest. Benefits are increased annually in accordance with Chapter 411.6 of the Code of Iowa which states a standard formula for the increases. The surviving spouse or dependents of an active member who dies due to a traumatic personal injury incurred in the line of duty receives a $100,000 lump -sum payment. Contributions Member contribution rates are set by state statute. In accordance with Chapter 411 of the Code of Iowa, the contribution rate was 9.40% of earnable compensation for the year ended June 30, 2024. Employer contribution rates are based upon an actuarially determined normal contribution rate and set by state statute. The required actuarially determined contributions are calculated on the basis of the entry age normal method as adopted by the Board of Trustees as permitted under Chapter 411 of the Code of Iowa. The normal contribution rate is provided by state statute to be the actuarial liabilities of the plan less current plan assets, with such total divided by 1 percent of the actuarially determined present value of prospective future compensation of all members, further reduced by member contributions and state appropriations. Under the Code of Iowa the employer's contribution rate cannot be less than 17.00% of earnable compensation. The contribution rate was 22.98% for the year ended June 30, 2024. The City's contributions to MFPRSI for the year ended June 30, 2024, was $2,958,187. If approved by the state legislature, state appropriation may further reduce the employer's contribution rate, but not below the minimum statutory contribution rate of 17.00% of earnable compensation. The State of Iowa therefore is considered to be a nonemployer contributing entity in accordance with the provisions of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 67 — Financial Reporting for Pension Plans, (GASB 67). There were no state appropriations to MFPRSI during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Net Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At June 30, 2024, the City reported a liability of $22,064,192 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2023, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City's proportion of the net pension liability was based on the City's share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the contributions of all MFPRSI participating employers. At June 30, 2023, the City's proportion was 3.523511% which was an increase of 0.144427% from its proportions measured as of June 30, 2022. 64 For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City recognized pension expense of $2,962,813. At June 30, 2024, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources: Differences between expected and actual experience Change of assumptions Net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments Changes in proportion and differences between City contributions and proportionate share of contributions City contributions subsequent to the measurement date Total Deferred Outflows of Deferred Inflows of Resources Resources $ 1,685,736 $ - 111,153 - 1,404,937 - 618,274 883,593 2,958,187 - $ 6,778,287 $ 883,593 $2,958,187 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions resulting from City contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30, 2025. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows: Year Ended Total June 30, 2025 $ (28,506) June 30, 2026 (986,519) June 30, 2027 3,208,429 June 30, 2028 704,075 June 30, 2029 39,028 $ 2,936,507 Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability in the June 30, 2023, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Rate of inflation Salary increases Investment rate of return 3.00 percent per annum 3.75 to 15.11 percent, including inflation 7.50 percent, net of pension plan investment expense, including inflation 65 The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the 10-year period ending June 30, 2022. Postretirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 Blue Collar Combined Healthy Annuitant Table with males set -forward zero years, females set -forward two years and disabled individuals set -forward three years (male only rates), with generational projection of future mortality improvement with 50 percent of Scale BB beginning in 2017. 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 (i.e., expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: Long -Term Expected Asset Class Real Rate of Return Broad Fixed Income 4.9 % Broad U.S. Equity 7.1 Global Equity 7.2 Broad Non -US Equity 7.4 Managed Futures 5.2 Core Real Estate 6.8 Opportunistic Real Estate 11.1 Global Infrastructure 6.9 Private Credit 10.1 Private Equity 12.1 Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.5%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and the City contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Sensitivitv of Citv's Pronortionate Share of the Net Pension Liabilitv to Chances in the Discount Rate The following presents the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.5%, as well as what the city's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1% lower (6.5%) or 1% higher (8.5%) than the current rate. 1% Decrease Discount Rate (6.5%) (7.5%) 1% Increase (8.5%) City's proportionate share of the net pension liability: $ 38,641,662 $ 22,064,192 $ 8,341,300 66 Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position Detailed information about the pension plan's fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued MFPRSI financial report which is available on MFPRSI's website at www.mfprsi.org. Payables to the Pension Plan At June 30, 2024, there were no amounts due to MFPRSI. Iowa Public Employees Retirement System (IPERS) Plan Description IPERS membership is mandatory for employees of the City, except for those covered by another retirement system. Employees of the City are provided with pensions through a cost -sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plan administered by IPERS. IPERS issues a stand-alone financial report which is available to the public by mail at 7401 Register Drive P.O. Box 9117, Des Moines, Iowa 50306-9117 or at www.ipers.org. IPERS benefits are established under Iowa Code chapter 97B and the administrative rules thereunder. Chapter 97B and the administrative rules are the official plan documents. The following brief description is provided for general informational purposes only. Refer to the plan documents for more information. Pension Benefits A regular member may retire at normal retirement age and receive monthly benefits without an early - retirement reduction. Normal retirement age is age 65, any time after reaching age 62 with 20 or more years of covered employment, or when the member's years of service plus the member's age at the last birthday equals or exceeds 88, whichever comes first. These qualifications must be met on the member's first month of entitlement to benefits. Members cannot begin receiving retirement benefits before age 55. The formula used to calculate a Regular member's monthly IPERS benefit includes: • A multiplier based on years of service. • The member's highest five-year average salary. For members with service before June 30, 2012, the highest three-year average salary as of that date will be used if it is greater than the highest five- year average salary. If a member retires before normal retirement age, the member's monthly retirement benefit will be permanently reduced by an early -retirement reduction. The early -retirement reduction is calculated differently for service earned before and after July 1, 2012. For service earned before July 1, 2012, the reduction is 0.25 percent for each month that the member receives benefits before the member's earliest normal retirement age. For service earned starting July 1, 2012, the reduction is 0.50 percent for each month that the member receives benefits before age 65. Generally, once a member selects a benefit option, a monthly benefit is calculated and remains the same for the rest of the member's lifetime. However, to combat the effects of inflation, retirees who began receiving benefits prior to July 1990 receive a guaranteed dividend with their regular November benefit payments. Disability and Death Benefits A vested member who is awarded federal Social Security disability or Railroad Retirement disability benefits is eligible to claim IPERS benefits regardless of age. Disability benefits are not reduced for early retirement. If a member dies before retirement, the member's beneficiary will receive a lifetime annuity or a lump -sum payment equal to the present actuarial value of the member's accrued benefit or calculated with a set formula, whichever is greater. When a member dies after retirement, death benefits depend on the benefit option the member selected at retirement. 67 Contributions Contribution rates are established by IPERS following the annual actuarial valuation, which applies IPERS' Contribution Rate Funding Policy and Actuarial Amortization Method. Statute limits the amount rates can increase or decrease each year to 1 percentage point. IPERS Contribution Rate Funding Policy requires that the actuarial contribution rate be determined using the "entry age normal" actuarial cost method and the actuarial assumptions and methods approved by the IPERS Investment Board. The actuarial contribution rate covers normal cost plus the unfunded actuarial liability payment based on a 30-year amortization period. The payment to amortize the unfunded actuarial liability is determined as a level percentage of payroll, based on the Actuarial Amortization Method adopted by the Investment Board. In fiscal year 2024, pursuant to the required rate, Regular members contributed 6.29% of pay and the City contributed 9.44% for a total rate of 15.73%. The City's total contributions to IPERS for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $3,497,329. Net Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At June 30, 2024, the City reported a liability of $19,005,162 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2023, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City's proportion of the net pension liability was based on the City's share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the contributions of all IPERS participating employers. At June 30, 2023, the City's proportion was 0.421058% which was an increase of 0.002493% from its proportions measured as of June 30, 2022. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the City recognized pension expense of $1,679,808. At June 30, 2024, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources: Deferred Outflows of Deferred Inflows of Resources Resources Differences between expected and actual experience $ 1,607,862 Change of assumptions Net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments 1,760,108 Changes in proportion and differences between City contributions and proportionate share of contributions 573,735 City contributions subsequent to the measurement date 3,497,329 Total $ 7,439,034 $ 78,118 301 150,827 229,246 68 $3,497,329 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pensions resulting from City contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability in the year ended June 30, 2025. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows: Year Ended Total June 30, 2025 $ (408,372) June 30, 2026 (1,319,854) June 30, 2027 4,428,433 June 30, 2028 871,806 June 30, 2029 140,446 $ 3,712,459 There were no non -employer contributing entities to IPERS. Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability in the June 30, 2023, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Rate of inflation 2.60% per annum (effective June 30, 2017) Salary increases 3.25 to 16.25%, average, including inflation. Rates vary by (effective June 30, 2017) membership group. Investment rate of return 7.00% compounded annually, net of pension plan investment (effective June 30, 2017) expense, including inflation Wage growth 3.25% per annum based on 2.60% inflation and 0.65% (effective June 30, 2017) real wage inflation The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023, valuation was based on the results of a quadrennial experience study covering the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2021. Mortality rates were based on the PubG-2010 Mortality tables with future mortality improvements modeled using MP-2021 generational adjustments. 69 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 (i.e., expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: Asset Class Domestic Equity International Equity Global Smart Beta Equity Core Plus Fixed Income Public Credit Cash Private Equity Private Real Assets Private Credit Target Allocation 21.0 % 16.5 5.0 23.0 3.0 1.0 17.0 9.0 4.5 Total 100.0 % Long -Term Expected Real Rate of Return 4.56 % 6.22 5.22 2.69 4.38 1.59 10.44 3.88 4.60 Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.0%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed employee contributions will be made at the contractually required rate and that the contributions from the City will be made at contractually required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments to current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Sensitivity of City's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.0%, as well as what the city's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1% lower (6.0%) or 1% higher (8.0%) than the current rate. 1% Decrease Discount Rate (6.0%) (7.0%) 1% Increase (8.0%) City's proportionate share of the net pension liability: $ 40,409,209 $ 19,005,162 $ 1,068,217 Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position Detailed information about the pension plan's fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued IPERS financial report which is available on IPERS' website at www.ipers.org. Payables to the Pension Plan At June 30, 2024, there were no amounts due to IPERS. rig 8.

During the year ended June 30, 2024, principal and interest paid were $207,992 and $9,288 respectively. Future principal and interest payments as of June 30, 2024, are as follows: r`i Fiscal Year Ending June 30 2025 2026 2027 2028 Total SBITA Principal Interest $ 201,031 $ 12,470 118,408 6,271 66,254 2,750 20,008 646 Total $ 405,701 $ 22,137 Changes in Long -Term Liabilities - Landfill Closure Post -closure Care Costs Landfill Closure Post -closure care activity for the year ended June 30, 2024, was as follows: Due Within July 1, 2023 Issues Retirements June 30, 2024 One Year Business -type activities: $ 12,978256 $ 2,879,453 $ - $ 15,857,709 $ - In August 1993, the GASB issued Statement No. 18, Accounting for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Closure and Post -closure Care Costs (the Statement). Under these rules, in addition to operating expenses related to current activities of the landfill, an expense provision and related liability are being recognized based on the future closure and post -closure care costs that will be incurred near or after the date the landfill no longer accepts waste. The recognition of these landfill closure and post -closure care costs is based on the amount of the landfill used during the year. The estimated liability for landfill closure and post -closure care costs as of June 30, 2024, is $15,857,709, which is based on 60.7% usage (filled) of the landfill and is included in accrued liabilities within the Sanitation Fund. It is estimated that an additional amount of approximately $10,267,018 will be recognized as closure and post -closure care expenses between the date of the balance sheet and the date the landfill is expected to be filled to capacity by the year ended June 30, 2039. The estimated total current cost of the landfill closure and post -closure care costs at June 30, 2024, was determined by a licensed professional engineer and approximated at $26,124,727. It is based on the amount that would be paid if all equipment, facilities, and services required to close, monitor, and maintain the landfill were acquired as of June 30, 2024. These amounts are based on an estimated post -closure care and monitoring period of 30 years, consistent with current State Department of Natural Resources regulations. However, the actual cost of closure and post -closure care may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in landfill laws and regulations. The City is required by federal and state laws and regulations to provide some form of financial assurance to finance closure and post -closure care. The City will meet its financial assurance obligations through the issuance of general obligation bonds. As of June 30, 2024, the Sanitation Fund had $15,954,155 in related equity in pooled cash and investments, at fair value designated for satisfaction of closure and post -closure costs. The City estimates that these cash reserves will only provide a fraction of the dollars needed to close and monitor the landfill. The remaining portion of post -closure care costs, anticipated future inflation costs and additional costs that might arise from changes in post -closure requirements (due to changes in technology or more rigorous environmental regulations, for example) may need to be covered by charges to future landfill users as well as City taxpayers. Changes in Long -Term Liabilities — Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) Plan Description: The City operates a single -employer self -funded medical and dental plan for all employees, which is offered to current and retired employees and their dependents. Group insurance benefits are established under Iowa Code Chapter 509A.13. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75. W All full-time employees who retire or terminate/resign and their eligible dependents are offered the following post -employment benefit options: Health insurance and dental insurance — The option of continuing with the City's health insurance plan at the individual's expense. These benefits cease upon Medicare eligibility. Life insurance — The option of converting the employee's City -paid policy to an individual policy at the individual's expense with the City's life insurance carrier. Long-term disability — For employees who terminate/resign and have been on the plan for a minimum of one year, the option of converting the employee's City -paid group policy to a personal policy at the individual's expense with the City's long-term disability insurance carrier. The above options, while at the individual's own expense, are included within the City's overall insurance package, which results in an implicit rate subsidy and an OPEB liability. Retired participants must be age 55 or older at retirement. At June 30, 2024, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms: Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefit payments 57 Active employees 583 Total 640 Total OPEB Liability: The City's total OPEB liability of $9,523,167 was measured as of June 30, 2024 and was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. Actuarial Assumptions: The total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2024 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions and the entry age normal actuarial cost method, applied to all periods included in the measurement. Rate of inflation 2.60% per annum (effective June 30, 2024) Rates of salary increases 3.25% per annum based on 2.60% inflation and 0.65% (effective June 30, 2024) real wage inflation Discount rate 4.21%, compounded annually, including inflation (effective June 30, 2024) Healthcare cost trend rate 8.00% initial rate decreasing by .5% annually to an ultimate (effective June 30, 2024) rate of 4.50% Discount Rate: The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 4.21% which reflects the index rate for 20-year tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/Aa or higher as of the measurement date. Mortality rates for general participants are from the SOA Pub-2010 General Headcount Weighted Mortality Table fully generational using Scale MP-2021. Mortality rates for public safety participants are from the SOA Pub-2010 Public Safety Headcount Weighted Mortality Table fully generational using Scale MP- 2021. Mortality rates for surviving spouses are from the SOA Pub-2010 Continuing Survivor Headcount Weighted Mortality Table fully generational using Scale MP-2021. Annual retirement probabilities are based on varying rates by age and turnover probabilities mirror those used by IPERS and MFPRSI. 73 The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2024 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study with dates corresponding to those listed above.

At June 30, 2024, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB from the following resources: Differences between expected and actual experience Change of assumptions Deferred Outflows of Resources $ 739,773 1,132,804 Deferred Inflows of Resources (1,005,001) (1,420,541) Total $ 1,872,577 $ (2,425,542) The amount reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB will be recognized as OPEB expense as follows: Year Ended Total June 30, 2025 $ 7,507 June 30, 2026 7,507 June 30, 2027 7,512 June 30, 2028 (53,041) June 30, 2029 (191,686) Thereafter (330,764) $ (552,965) For the governmental activities, OPEB liability is generally liquidated by the General Fund, Community Development Block Grant Fund and Other Shared Revenue and Grants Fund 9. Fund Equity Fund balances for the governmental funds are reported in classifications that comprise a hierarchy based on the extent to which the government honors constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. • The Nonspendable classification contains amounts not in spendable form or legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. • Restricted amounts contain restraint on their use externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Committed amounts can only be used for specific purposes imposed by formal action of the government's highest level of decision -making authority. The highest level of decision -making authority is the City Council and it takes a resolution to establish, modify or rescind a fund balance commitment. rV • Amounts intended to be used for specific purposes are Assigned. Assignments should not cause deficits in the Unassigned fund balance. The Finance Director has been delegated authority by the City Council through a resolution to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes. • Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund. The General Fund is the only fund that would report a positive amount in unassigned fund balance. Residual deficit amounts of other governmental funds would also be reported as unassigned. The City would use Restricted fund balances first, followed by Committed resources, and then Assigned resources, as appropriate opportunities arise, but reserves the right to selectively spend Unassigned resources first to defer the use of these other classified funds.

Risk Management The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; workplace accidents, errors and omissions; and natural disasters. During fiscal year 1988 the City established the Loss Reserve Fund, an internal service fund, to account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss. During the year ended June 30, 2024 the City purchased property, liability, and workers' compensation insurance under the program that provides for a $100,000 self -insured retention per occurrence on property losses except for wind damage losses. The wind damage deductible is the greater of $250,000 or 2% of the building value. A $500,000 self -insured retention per occurrence on liability, and a zero self -insured retention on workers' compensation losses for all employees except Fire Department employees. Workers' compensation losses for Fire Department employees are fully self -funded. The liability insurance provides coverage for claims in excess of the aforementioned self -insured retention up to a maximum of $21,000,000 annual aggregate of losses paid. Settled claims have not exceeded this commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. The operating funds pay annual premiums to the Loss Reserve Fund. Accumulated monies in the Loss Reserve Fund are available to cover the self -insured retention amounts and any uninsured losses. The Housing Authority Fund is insured under a separate policy with the Assisted Housing Risk Management Association. The remaining funds participate in the Loss Reserve Fund. The funds make payments to the Loss Reserve Fund based on actuarial estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior- and current -year claims and to establish a reserve for catastrophic losses. The Fund's accrued liabilities balance includes a claims liability at June 30, 2024 based on the requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, as amended, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Changes in the Loss Reserve Fund's claims liability amount for property, liability, and workers' compensation for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows: 2022 - 2023 2023-2024 Beginning -of - Fiscal -Year Liability 2,741,000 $ 2,443,000 Current -Year Claims and Changes in Estimates 255,000 258,000 Claim Payments $ 553,000 $ 960,000 Balance at Fiscal Year -End 2,443,000 1,741,000 Also, the City is partially self -insured, through stop -loss insurance, for employee health care coverage, which is available to all of its permanent employees. This insurance provides stop -loss coverage for claims in excess of $125,000 per employee with an aggregate stop -loss of $15,344,182. The operating funds are charged premiums by the Loss Reserve Fund. The City reimburses a health insurance provider for actual medical costs incurred, plus a claims processing\administrative fee. Changes in the Loss Reserve Fund's claims liability amount for health care coverage for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows: Beginning -of - Fiscal -Year Liability Current -Year Claims and Balance at Changes in Claim Fiscal Estimates Payments Year -End 2022 —2023 $ 583,000 $ 10,532,000 $ 10,490,000 $ 625,000 2023-2024 625,000 10,796,000 10,766,000 655,000 77 11. Commitments and Contingencies Contractual Commitments The total outstanding contractual commitments as of June 30, 2024 are as follows: Fund Project Amount Bridge, street and traffic Paving and Bridge Construction, control construction Engineering Design and Consulting $ 11,598,623 Other construction Public Works & Culture and Recreation Construction 3,249,430 Parking Parking Facility Restoration Repair 448,158 Wastewater Sewer Construction & Influent Rake Replacement 5,124,267 Water Water Construction & Peninsula Well Field Power Redundancy Project 642,962 Transit Transit Bus Sign Replacements/Transit Amenities 212,723 Airport Runway Obstruction Mitigation & Runway Relocation 577,151 Lanfill Facility Replacement and Landfill Gas Landfill Infrastructure 120,153 Stormwater Stormwater System Improvements & Storm Sewer 806,785 Replacements $ 22,780,252 Developer Commitments In order to encourage development within designated TIF districts, the City Council has approved developer grants to 8 different projects. The grants are to be paid only after certain conditions have been met by each project developer, and are to be paid over many years in the form of a rebate of a predetermined percentage of future property taxes generated by the property. Currently, it is estimated that outstanding commitments totaling $29,620,446 exist, of which $2,986,590 is expected to be paid in the next fiscal year. These items are expensed in the period in which they are paid. There were payments made in the current fiscal year in the amount of $2,163,842. No liability is recognized due to the fact that the agreements are conditional and the payments are to be funded by future property taxes receivable on the project. Letter of Credit As of June 30, 2024, the City has an unused letter of credit totaling $575,000. This letter of credit, issued by MidWestOne Bank, serves as a financial guarantee for self -funded worker's compensation claims. This letter of credit is to expire on June 27, 2025, and there are no fees associated with its maintenance. The City does not anticipate any financial obligations arising from this letter of credit, as it remains unused as of the reporting date. Management will monitor this letter of credit and ensure compliance with terms set forth by MidWestOne Bank. 78 12. Contingent Liabilities Litigation The City is a defendant in a number of lawsuits arising principally from claims against the City for alleged improper actions by City employees, with such lawsuits typically involving claims of improper police action, unlawful taking of property by zoning, negligence, appeals of condemnations, and discrimination. Total damages claimed are substantial; however, it has been the City's experience that such actions are settled for amounts substantially less than claimed amounts. The City's management estimates that the potential claims against the City, not covered by various insurance policies, would not materially affect the financial condition of the City. The City has the authority to levy additional taxes (outside the regular limit) to cover uninsured judgments against the City. 13. Tax Abatements Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 77 defines tax abatements as a reduction in tax revenues that results from an agreement between one or more governments and an individual or entity in which (a) one or more governments promise to forgo tax revenues to which they are otherwise entitled and (b) the individual or entity promises to take a specific action after the agreement has been entered into that contributes to economic development or otherwise benefits the governments or the citizens of those governments. City Tax Abatements The City provides tax abatements for urban renewal and economic development projects with tax increment financing as provided for in Chapters 15A and 403 of the Code of Iowa. For these types of projects, the City enters into agreements with developers which require the City, after developers meet the terms of the agreements, to rebate a portion of the property tax paid by the developers, to pay the developers an economic development grant or to pay the developers a predetermined dollar amount. No other commitments were made by the City as part of these agreements. For the year ended June 30, 2024, $821,419.73 of property tax was diverted from the City under the urban renewal and economic development projects. Tax Abatements of Other Entities Property tax revenues of the City were not reduced by any amount for the year ended June 30, 2024 under agreements entered into by any entities. 14. New Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Standards The City adopted the following statements during the year ended June 30, 2024: Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — an Amendment of GASB Statement No. 62. The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability. The implementation of the above statement did not have a material impact on the City's Financial Statements. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued four statements not yet implemented by the City. The statements, which might impact the City's financial statements, are as follows: 79 Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences, will be effective for fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures. Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures, will be effective for fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information about risks related to a government's vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints. Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements, will be effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The objective of this Statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government's accountability. This Statement also address certain application issues. Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets, will be effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered City of Iowa City, Iowa's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing 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 City of Iowa City, Iowa's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of City of Iowa City, Iowa'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 was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified. 139 Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Iowa City, Iowa's financial statements are free from 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 financial statements. 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_ Comments involving statutory and other legal matters about the City's operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 are based exclusively on knowledge obtained from procedures performed during our audit of the financial statements of the City. Since our audit was based on tests and samples, not all transactions that might have had an impact on the comments were necessarily audited. The comments involving statutory and other legal matters are not intended to constitute legal interpretations of those statutes. 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 City of Iowa City, Iowa'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 City of Iowa City, Iowa's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Moline, Illinois December 3, 2024 `ElN Bohnsack & Frommelt LLP Certified Public Accountants Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance For Each Major Federal Program and On Internal Control Over Compliance Required By the Uniform Guidance To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council City of Iowa City, Iowa Iowa City, Iowa Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program Opinion on Each Major Federal Program We have audited City of Iowa City, Iowa's (the City) compliance with the types of compliance requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City's major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. The City's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. In our opinion, City of Iowa City, Iowa complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above. Responsibilities of Management for Compliance Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City's federal programs. MIN Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with OAA , Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncom piiance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error; as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence tha judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the City's oompliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Goverr meat Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance, we i exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit, • identity and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the Uity's compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances_ • obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in tha circumstances and to test and report on intemaI control over compliance in accordance Mth the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's intemal control over compliance_ Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit_ Report on Internal Control Over Compliance A deficiency in intemai control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees. in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal prop ram on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in irrfemal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important anough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Oomplianas section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over corn paiance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified. `Y, Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our engagement letter to you dated May 7, 2024. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit. Significant Audit Findings Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Notes 1 to the financial statements. As described in Note 14, the City adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections- An Amendment of GASB Statement No. 62. The implementation of Statement No. 100 did not have a material impact on the City's financial statements. No other new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year ended June 30, 2024. We noted no transactions entered into by the governmental unit during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period other than the effect from the change in basis of accounting. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City's financial statements were: Other Postemployment Benefit Liability: Management's estimate of the other postemployment benefit liability is based on an actuarial valuation computed based on employee -related factors such as turnover, retirement age, and mortality. These factors and an estimated discount rate and rate of return are based upon historical and general market data. Depreciable Useful Lives of Capital Assets: Management's estimate of the useful lives of capital assets involves judgments and assumptions based on prior experience of estimated useful lives assigned. Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) Self -Insurance Liability: Management's estimate of the IBNR liability is based on past history of claims and lag time for payment and review of subsequent payments. Lease Receivable and Deferred Inflow of Resources -Leases: The lease receivable is measured at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. The deferred inflow of resources initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments related to lease receivables and the related deferred inflow of resources is (1) the discount rate used for the present value of lease receipts, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts. The City uses the City's incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Subscription -Based Information Technology (SBITA) Assets and Subscription -Based Information Technology (SBITA) Liabilities: Management's estimate of the SBITA liability is measured at the present value of subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term discounted using the interest rate charged by the SBITA vendor or the City's incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate is not readily determinable. The subscription asset is measured as the sum of 1) the initial subscription liability amount, 2) payments made to the SBITA vendor before commencement of the subscription term and 3) capitalizable implementation costs, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription term. Net Pension Liability and Related Deferred Inflows of Resources and Deferred Outflows of Resources for the Pension Liability: Management's estimate of the net pension liability is based on its proportionate share of the total net pension liability of the Iowa Public Employees Retirement system and Municipal Fire and Police Retirement system cost -sharing multiple - employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the state of Iowa. The liability is based on an actuarial valuation computed based on employee -related factors such as turnover, retirement age, and mortality. These factors and an estimated discount rate are based on historical and general market data. Unbilled Usage of Utilities: Management's estimate for unbilled usage of utilities is based on the prior period usage by the billing cycle or a percentage of the total usage billed subsequent to period -end. Closure and Post Closure of Landfill: Management's estimate of the closure and post closure care costs for the landfill is based on a licensed engineer specialist report based on current costs, structure, and volume. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the above estimates in determining that the estimates are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements were: The disclosure of commitments and contingencies in Note 11 to the financial statements refers to commitments made by the City that will have future financial impact. The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear. Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit. Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. The misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures are attached. The attached schedule summarizes uncorrected misstatements of the financial statements. Management has determined that their effects are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. Management Representations We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 3, 2024, which is attached. Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations_ If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the governmental unit's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants. Other Audit Findings or Issues We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit's auditors, However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. We have also issued a report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards' and a report on "Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance For Each Major Federal Program and On Internal Control Over Compliance Required by the Uniform Guidance". Our findings are included in the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Other Matters We applied certain limited procedures to management's discussion and analysis, schedule of changes in the City's total OPEB liability and related ratios, schedule of the City's net proportionate share of the pension liability, schedule of contributions to the pension retirement system and budgetary comparison schedules, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding 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 did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI_ We were engaged to report on combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedule of expenditures of federal awards, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. We were not engaged to report on the introductory or statistical sections, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. Restriction on Use This information is intended solely for the use of the City Council and management of City of Iowa City, Iowa and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

This means that the Board must give deference to the Police Chiefs report, because of the Police Chiefs professional expertise. (Iowa City Code Section 8- 8-7(13)(2)).) 4. According to Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(2), the Board may issue a report that disagrees with the decision set forth in the Police Chiefs or City Manager's report only if: a. The findings are not supported by substantial evidence; or b. The findings are unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious; or c. The findings are contrary to a police department policy or practice, or any federal, state or local law. 5. When the Board has completed its review of the Police Chiefs report, the Board issues a public report to the city council. The public report must include: (1) detailed findings of fact; and (2) a clearly articulated conclusion explaining why and the extent to which the complaint is either "sustained" or "not sustained ". (Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(6)). 6. Even if the Board finds that the complaint is sustained, the Board has no authority to discipline the officer involved. BOARD'S PROCEDURE: The Complaint was initiated by the Complainant on 10/7/2024. As required by Section 8-8-5(B) of the City Code, the Complaint was referred to the Chief of Police for investigation. The Complainant did not respond to numerous attempts by the Chief to reach the Complainant. The Chiefs Report was filed with the City Clerk on 12/10/2024. As per Section 8-8-6(D) of the City Code, the Complainant was given the opportunity to respond to the Chiefs report but failed to do so. The Board voted on 12/10/2024 to apply the following Level of Review to the Chiefs Report: on the record with no additional investigation, pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(1)(a). The Board reviewed the following: the officer's body camera, the dashboard's camera footage, and the findings by the Chief of Police which included an interview with the officer. The Board met to consider the Report on 12/1012024, 01/14/2025, and 02/11/2025. FINDINGS OF FACT: The officer stopped the complainant near the intersection of Clinton Street and Prentiss Street. The complainant was walking west on Prentiss Street, crossing the street, while allegedly speaking on a cell phone. The complainant claimed that she was only holding the phone in her hand and not using it. The complainant alleges that the officer sped toward her and braked right in front of her. Moreover, the complainant alleges that the officer was discourteous, threatening, and used an obscenity when addressing her. The complainant also stated that she did not violate the law by crossing the street in an unmarked crosswalk. FILED FEB 112025 City Clerk , Iowa City, Iowa SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: The officer's car camera showed that he did not speed toward the complainant as alleged, and that his speed did not exceed 26 m.p.h. Because of the brevity of the encounter, the initial interaction between the complainant and the officer was not recorded on the body camera. The body camera was activated once the squad car's emergency lights were activated. The officer reported that he stopped the complainant in the crosswalk to block the complainant from crossing the street. He calmly explained that she needed to stop looking at her phone while crossing to avoid an accident. Camera footage shows that the complainant was looking down at her phone as she was crossing the street, and only looked up once the vehicle was near her. She abruptly stopped and allowed the police vehicle to pass her. The complainant was correct in asserting that according to Iowa law (Iowa Code Section 321.327) that a vehicle must yield the right of way when signals are not in place whether in marked or unmarked crosswalks. The officer was incorrect in making the claim to the contrary. However, the officer did not issue a citation to the complainant nor take any action based on that claim. COMPLAINANT'S ALLEGATION #1 — Violation of 320.5.9, Conduct. (see pertinent portions of the policy below) (f) Discourteous, disrespectful or discriminatory treatment of any member of the public or any member of this department or the City. (g) Use of obscene, indecent, or derogatory language while on -duty or in uniform. Chief's conclusion: Not sustained Board's conclusion: Not sustained Basis for the Board's conclusion: The complainant alleges that the officer was threatening and screaming at her. The officer's body camera video shows that the officer called to the complainant prompting her to stop. As he attempted to explain his intervention, the complainant immediately turned around and continued to walk. At that point the officer raised his voice telling the complainant that she was not free to go and risked being jailed should she not stop. The complainant eventually walked back. In addition to explaining that there was no painted crosswalk as she crossed, the officer warned of the danger of using a phone while crossing a street. The officer released the complainant with a verbal warning. The camera shows that the officer was calm during his interaction with the complainant, and at no time was he threatening or screaming at her.
