City of Redwood City <br />Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued) <br />For the Year Ended June 30, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br />72 <br />Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) <br /> <br />N. Pension Plans (Continued) <br /> <br />The General Fund and Internal Service Funds are typically used to liquidate the pension liability related to the City's <br />governmental activities while the pension liability for Business-type activities is liquidated from the respective <br />Enterprise Funds. <br /> <br />The following timeframes are used for pension reporting: <br /> <br />Valuation date June 30, 2023 <br />Measurement date June 30, 2024 <br />Measurement period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 <br />Gains and losses related to changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position are recognized in pension <br />expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year the <br />gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources <br />related to pensions and are to be recognized in future pension expense. The amortization period differs depending <br />on the source of the gain or loss. The difference between projected and actual earnings is amortized straight-line <br />over 5 years. All other amounts are amortized straight-line over the average expected remaining service lives of all <br />members that are provided with benefits (active, inactive, and retired) as of the beginning of the measurement <br />period. <br /> <br />O. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) <br /> <br />For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources <br />related to OPEB, and OPEB expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the OPEB plan, the assets of <br />which are held in an irrevocable trust, and additions to/deductions from the OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position have <br />been determined by an independent actuary (Note 13). For this purpose, benefit payments are recognized when <br />currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The <br />Enterprise Funds are used to liquidate the OPEB liability. <br /> <br />U.S. GAAP requires that the reported results must pertain to liability and fiduciary net position information within <br />certain defined timeframes. For this report, the following timeframes are used: <br /> <br />Valuation date June 30, 2023 <br />Measurement date June 30, 2024 <br />Measurement period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 <br />P. Net Position <br /> <br />For government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, net position is categorized as follows: <br /> <br />Net Investment in Capital Assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net of accumulated <br />depreciation and amortization, reduced by the outstanding balances of debt that are attributable to the <br />acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. <br /> <br />Restricted – This component of net position consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred <br />inflows of resources related to those assets. <br /> <br />Unrestricted – This component of net position is the amount of the assets, deferred outflows of resources, <br />liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources that are not included in the determination of net investment in <br />capital assets or the restricted component of net position. <br /> <br />When expenses are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net position is available, the <br />City’s policy is to apply restricted net position first. <br />7.C. - Page 104 of 269 <br />123
