INTRODUCTORY SECTION
i
December 19, 2025
To the Citizens of La Quinta, and the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
It is with great pleasure that we present to you the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of
the City of La Quinta for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The ACFR has been prepared by the
Finance Department for the benefit of City Council members, citizens, investors, grantors, employees,
and others who may have an interest in the financial well-being of the City.
The ACFR presents information regarding the City’s financial activities. This transmittal letter provides a
non-technical summary of the City’s finances, services, achievements, and economic outlook. A more
detailed analysis is presented in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section (MD&A) that
immediately follows the independent auditor’s report. The MD&A provides an overview and analysis of
the basic financial statements and complements this transmittal.
Responsibility for both the accuracy and the completeness of all disclosures rests with the City of La
Quinta. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in all material respects
and is reported in a manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of City
operations. Supplementary disclosures are included to summarize the City’s financial activities.
This ACFR was prepared in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The
City’s financial reporting is based upon all Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statements; these pronouncements are the most authoritative source for governmental GAAP. The City
is responsible for ensuring an adequate internal control structure is in place. The internal control
structure is subject to constant evaluation by the management of the City and annual review by
independent auditors. Reviews determine the adequacy of the internal control structure, as well as to
determine if the City complied with applicable laws and regulations. In reviewing internal control
structures, the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits to be derived, hence the objective is to
provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance, that the financial statements are free of any
material misstatements.
Lance, Soll & Lunghard LLP (LSL), has issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the City’s financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2025. This is the most favorable conclusion. The independent
auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section. The independent audit involved examining
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation and conformity with GAAP.

Government Profile
The City of La Quinta is located 120 miles east of Los Angeles in the eastern portion of Riverside
County known as the Coachella Valley. The City has a permanent population of approximately 39,000,
within a boundary of 36 square miles. Each year nearly 18,000 seasonal residents also call La Quinta
home from October through May. A natural paradise in the Coachella Valley, the City is nestled
between the Santa Rosa and San Bernardino Mountains, is an integral part of the Coachella Valley’s
world-renowned resort and retirement area, and is known for its championship golf, festivals and
community events, health and wellness, stunning views and spectacular trails.
The City was incorporated in 1982 as a general law City and became a charter city in November 1996.
It is governed by a five-member City Council under the Council/Manager form of government. The
Mayor is directly elected, serves a two-year term, and represents the City at many public functions; the
four Council Members serve four-year terms, with two Council Members elected every two years. The
Mayor and Council Members are elected at large and also serve as the Board of Directors of the
Housing and Finance Authorities.
The Council appoints the City Manager, who in turn appoints the Directors of the various departments
except for the City Attorney who is appointed by the Council. The Finance Director also serves as the
City/Housing Authority Treasurer and the City Manager is also the Executive Director of the Housing
Authority.
The City provides a range of services, which include street and infrastructure construction and
maintenance; community development and planning; affordable housing programs; code compliance;
recreational and cultural activities; and operations management.
The City contracts with other government agencies and private entities for specific services, including
police and fire protection, library and museum services, water and sewer service, electricity service,
public transit, refuse collection, and street sweeping.
The City’s annual operating and capital improvement budgets are adopted by resolutions for the fiscal
year that begins July 1st. Separate resolutions are adopted by the City Council and Board of Directors
of the Housing and Finance Authorities.
The annual budget is the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The budget is
prepared by fund, function, department, and line item. Department Directors may transfer line-item
resources within a division with the approval of the City Manager. The City Manager may authorize
transfers between divisions and departments.

Local Economy
According to the State of California Employment Development Department, as of September 2025, the
unadjusted unemployment rate for La Quinta was 7.6%, which was higher than unadjusted rates for
Riverside County’s at 6.1% and the statewide average of 5.6%. This reflects broader statewide labor
market softening, as California experienced modest job losses and slower employment growth during
the year. While gains occurred in sectors such as Health Services and Leisure and Hospitality, these
were partially offset by declines in Professional and Business Services. Regional economic conditions
and the City’s exposure to tourism-related and seasonal employment contributed to unemployment
levels remaining elevated relative to county and state averages.
The City’s dominant industries are tourism, recreation, and retail, with the following being major
employers: Desert Sands Unified School District, PGA West and Citrus Club, La Quinta Resort and
Club, Costco, and Wal-Mart Super Center.
Throughout the year La Quinta hosts a variety of multi-generational open-air events and shines in the
national spotlight as the only PGA golf tour event in the region with the American Express Golf
Tournament, which includes two nights of outdoor concerts. The City also hosts Ironman 70.3 La
Quinta, which brings over 3,000 athletes and supporters from all over the world to the Coachella Valley.
The City’s cultural diversity, values, unique characteristics and attributes are commemorated through
artists who showcase their high-quality artwork at the fine art event, La Quinta Art Celebration, which is
now held twice a year and is ranked among the top ten in the United States by ArtFair Sourcebook’s
Top 100 Fine Art Events.
Substantially or entirely completed projects during 2024/25 included PGA Superstore, Dunkin, World
Taekwondo, Yun Therapy Acupuncture and Herb Center, Advanced Endoscopy Centers, Advanced
Gastroenterology Associates along the Highway 111 corridor as well as Disco Rabbit and Brow Arc in
the La Quinta Cove area.
Long-term Financial Planning
Sound financial governance and prudent planning continues to be management’s focus. The City has a
long history of providing superior service, life enrichment opportunities, and a quality environment to its
residents, businesses, and visitors. La Quinta has taken a proactive approach to rising pension and
public safety costs by building its reserve categories and paying down the City’s pension obligations.
The City also continues to collaborate with Riverside County and other regional cities on police services
to identify long-term savings.
The City ensures that its long-range goals are met through a variety of Boards and Commissions. Each
is comprised of Council-appointed residents, may include a City Council representative, and are
iv
supported by City staff. In addition, the City has adopted various financial policies and practices with
the goal of sustaining a fiscally resilient government over the long-term, assuring fiscal sustainability, as
well as increasing transparency and encouraging public engagement.
In 2024/25, the General Fund’s overall fund balance increased by about $33.1 million when
compared to the ending balance in 2023/24, mainly due to revenue increases surpassing budget
projections and prudent spending controls. As of June 30, 2025, all four of the City’s reserve
categories (Cash Flow Reserve, Natural Disaster, Economic Disaster, and Capital Replacement)
are fully funded to policy targets.
In June 2025, the City Council adopted a balanced budget for fiscal year 2025/26, which strategically
allocated Measure G reserves to support capital improvement projects. As a result of this allocation, the
adopted budget projected operating revenues exceeding expenses by $20,066. The 2025/26 budget
also maintains sustained funding for essential services, including police, fire protection, and the
maintenance of critical infrastructure.
La Quinta has cultivated a sound foundation of General Fund revenues including sales tax, transient
occupancy tax, and property tax. The City was incorporated in 1982 after Proposition 13 was approved
(the landmark property tax reform initiative enacted in 1978); as such, the City receives a smaller share
of property tax revenue but has also secured additional property tax revenue from the County for fire
and library services.
The Future
The City has a mixture of housing and commercial developments under construction. Larger residential
developments underway include Jefferson Street Apartments, Village Hospitality Homes, Diamante and
Oasis by Crestwood Communities, and Bravo Estates. Commercial developments include the Hampton
Inn hotel, St. Francis Parish Hall expansion, the Calle Estado mixed-use project, Rancho La Quinta golf
clubhouse remodel/addition and fitness center, La Quinta Dental campus, Highway 111/Adams drive-
through, and the expansion of Tower Market. Approved housing developments on the horizon include
Flora at Jefferson Square, La Quinta Village Apartments, Sierra Blanca, Club at Coral Mountain, and
Travertine.
The Highway 111 Corridor Plan (Plan) continues to be a priority with daily traffic exceeding 40,000
vehicles, and accounting for nearly 80% of the City’s annual sales tax revenue. The two-mile-long, 400-
acre regional commercial hub at the center of the City, is being evaluated to create a more connected
and walkable environment and is anticipated to reshape the corridor by adding mixed-use and infill
development and incorporating ever-evolving shopping trends. The City acquired vacant property on
the north side of Highway 111, which is anticipated to be developed as a mixed-use project with
v
commercial and residential components furthering the City’s goals of fostering mixed-use development,
affordable housing, multi-modal transportation, and the development of the Highway 111 corridor.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The City is participating in the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and
Canada (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting program. The City’s
submission for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, is currently being processed by GFOA. In order to
be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized ACFR. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable
legal requirements. The City expects to meet all program requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for one year. We believe that our current ACFR continues to meet
the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements, and we are submitting it to the GFOA to
determine its eligibility for another certificate.
We would like to express our appreciation to the City Council and the Financial Advisory Commission
for their ongoing oversight of the financial affairs of the City and their prudent fiscal, economic, and land
use policy and direction. We also thank City staff with special appreciation to the Finance Department
for their continued effort to provide accurate financial data and the preparation of this report.
Respectfully Submitted,
Jon McMillen, City Manager Claudia Martinez, Finance Director/City Treasurer

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of La Quinta, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of La Quinta, California, (hereafter, the
City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City as of June 30, 2025, 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 and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’
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.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards 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.
2
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards,
we:
•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
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, and required pension and other post-employment benefits schedules
as listed on the table of contents 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.
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 accompanying combining and individual fund financial statements and
schedules (supplementary information) 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 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the basic financial statements as a whole.
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of La Quinta, California
3
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 auditors’ 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 19, 2025, 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
solely 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
HIGHLIGHTS
At the close of 2024-25 (June 30, 2025):
•The total assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded its total liabilities and
deferred inflows at the close of the fiscal year 2024-25 by $950,550,296 (net
position). Of this amount, $249,678,961 (unrestricted net position) may be used to
meet ongoing obligations and $594,231,375 or 63% was invested in capital assets
and is not available to meet ongoing obligations.
•Governmental activities total net position increased by $47,146,195 and the
Business-Type total net position decreased by $1,320,084 which is attributable to
the SilverRock Golf Course.
•Governmental funds (General Fund, Housing Authority, Capital Improvement
Fund), seventeen (17) non-major special revenue funds, ten (10) non-major capital
projects funds, and one (1) non-major debt service fund) had a combined ending
fund balance of $302,652,399, an increase of $32,750,505. The primary reasons
for this increase can be attributed to taxes exceeding the original budget
projections coupled with expenditure savings and a positive fair market value
adjustment to the overall investment portfolio.
•The unassigned General Fund balance comprised $84,454,583, or 35%, of the
total $242,951,299 balance and represented 29% of total final General Fund
budgeted expenses including transfers and multi-year capital projects.
•Total governmental activities long-term liabilities increased by $1,182,535 from
$1,559,701 to $2,742,236.
OVERVIEW
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements provide a broad overview of the City’s
finances. There are two statements – statement of net position and statement of
activities, as described below.
The statement of net position presents information on all City assets and deferred
outflows of resources as well as liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the
difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the City’s
financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net
position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position
are reported as soon as the underlying event occurs giving rise to the change,
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, for example, earned but unused vacation leave.
6
Both of these government-wide financial statements distinguish City functions,
which are principally supported by taxes, fees, and intergovernmental revenues
(governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user charges (busi ness-type activities).
Governmental activities include general government, public safety, community
services, planning and development and public works; business-type activities
include the SilverRock Golf course operations.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of La Quinta
(known as the primary government), but also the La Quinta Financing Authority and
the La Quinta Housing Authority. Although legally separate entities, they function
for all practical purposes as City departments.
The government-wide financial statements are listed in the table of contents under
the Financial Section of this report.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts and 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
compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All City’s funds are
aggregated into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
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 of spendable resources available at the end of
the fiscal year. Such inf ormation may be useful in evaluating a government's near-
term financing requirements.
Because the focus is narrower than the government-wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare this information with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so,
readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term
financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
7
The City maintains thirty-one (31) individual governmental funds, which are
distinguished between major and non-major funds. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. There are
three (3) major governmental funds: the General Fund, the Housing Authority
special revenue fund, and the Capital Improvement capital project fund. Data from
the other twenty-eight (28) governmental funds are combined into a single,
aggregate presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the
Combining and Individual Fund Statements and Schedules section of the report .
The City adopts an annual budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparison
schedule has been provided to demonstrate compliance with the adopted budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found in the table of
contents under the heading Basic Financial Statements.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds are broken down into enterprise and internal service funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type
activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City maintains one (1)
enterprise fund to account for the SilverRock Golf Course operations, which is
considered a major fund.
Internal service funds are used to allocate costs among the City’s various functions.
The City has four (4) internal service funds: Equipment Replacement, Information
Technology, Park Equipment and Facilities, and Insurance. Because these four (4)
services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions,
they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide
financial statements. The internal service funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund
data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements on
the Combining and Individual Fund Statements and Schedules section of the report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements are listed in the table of contents under
Proprietary Funds: Statement of Net Position, Statement of Revenues, Expenses and
Changes in Net Position, and Statement of Cash Flows.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside
the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial
statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s
own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for
proprietary funds.
8
The City reports on two fiduciary funds: 1) the Pension (and Other Employee Benefit)
Trust fund which accounts for the Defined Contribution Pension Trust established to
provide supplemental retirement benefits for employees, and (2) Successor Agency of
the Former RDA Private-Purpose Trust Fund which provides for activities associated
with the dissolution of the former Redevelopment Agency.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements are listed in the table of contents under
Fiduciary Funds: Statement of Net Position and Statement of Changes in Net Position.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements provide information that is essential to obtain a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial
statements. These notes are listed in the table of contents under Notes to Financial
Statements.
Other Information
In addition to the financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents the combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major
governmental funds, internal service funds, and agency funds. The non-major
governmental funds’ combining statements are presented immediately following the
Required Supplementary Information while the combined statements for the internal
service funds and agency funds are presented following the budgetary comparison
schedules for the debt service funds.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a
government's financial position. The City’s net position, the difference between assets
and liabilities and deferred inflows/outflows, is one way to measure the City’s financial
health or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net position
indicate whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. The City’s net position
increased from $905,004,075 to $950,550,296 at the close of the 2024-25, which is
$45,826,111 (including prior period adjustment of $279,890) more than the previous
year. Increases were reflected in restricted and unrestricted net position for
governmental activities.
The largest portion of the City’s Net Position ($592,061,273 or 65% for 2023-24
and 594,231,375 or 63% for 2024-25) reflects investment in capital assets (e.g.,
land, buildings; machinery, and equipment), net of related debt. The City uses these
capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not
available for future spending.

$106,639,960 or 11% in 2025) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net
position $249,678,961 (26%) may be used to meet the government's ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of 2024-25, the City had positive balances in all three categories of net
position for the governmental and business-type activities.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances. Such information 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.
As of the end of 2024-25, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances as follows:
City of La Quinta Governmental Fund Balances
Category General Fund Percent All Other Funds Percent Total Funds Percent
Nonspendable $ 25,681,444 11 %$ 3,750 0.006 %$ 25,685,194 8 %
Restricted 6,172,305 3 % 68,431,718 114.6 % 74,604,023 25 %
Committed 45,000,000 19 % - - % 45,000,000 15 %
Assigned 81,642,967 34 % - - % 81,642,967 27 %
Unassigned 84,454,583 35 % (8,734,368) (14.6) % 75,720,215 25 %
Total $ 242,951,299 100 %$ 59,701,100 100 %$ 302,652,399 100 %
Governmental fund balances ended the year totaling $302,652,399, an increase of
$32,750,505 in comparison with the prior years’ ending balance of $269,901,894. These
collective fund balances include the General Fund, Housing Authority, Financing
Authority, Capital Improvement Fund, and various Special Revenue funds.
Nonspendable
Nonspendable fund balance totaled $25,685,194 or 8%; this represents amounts that
are not available to pay for operating expenditures because they are in the form of land
and receivables.
12
Restricted
Restricted fund balance totaled $74,604,023 or 25%; these amounts represent funds
with external limitations on spending. Significant restrictions include: Section 115 trust
of $6,172,305 restricted for pension liabilities; Library and Museum totaling $15,775,000
which represents property tax increment money that can only be used for library and
museum services; Measure A funding of $5,159,000 which can only be used for
transportation; Transportation capital project fund of $6,163,000 in developer fees that
are restricted for the acquisition, construction and improvement of the City’s
infrastructure; and Economic Development funding of $3,684,000 that can only be used
for future economic development in the City.
Committed
$45,000,000 (15%) are committed fund balances which are the result of self-imposed
limitations established by the City Council. In May 2018, the City adopted a Reserve
Policy that established committed General Fund reserve categories, including Natural
Disaster Reserves, Economic Disaster Reserves, Cash Flow Reserves, and Capital
Replacement Reserves. The Policy was updated in 2023 to include increased funding
targets. As of June 30, 2025, all reserve categories are fully funded at their target levels.
Assigned
Assigned funds are constrained by the City’s intent to use them for specific purposes
and represent a total of $81,642,967 (27%) of the total fund balance. $31,778,242
represents funds for approved multi-year capital projects and $850,000 for general fund
carryovers that were not spent by the end of the year, therefore they are carried over
until the projects are completed. Available Measure G sales tax revenue ended the year
at $29,623,592 and $19,391,133 represents funds held in trust with the County of
Riverside for fire services.
Unassigned
The remaining fund balance of $75,720,215 represents unassigned fund balances or
the residual net resources after taking into consideration the other classifications. The
Capital Improvement Fund accounted for $6,859,124 of the negative $8,734,368
balance of all other funds. The remaining negative balance was largely attributed to the
Library Development Impact Fee Fund. This amount represents an advance due to the
Redevelopment (RDA) Successor Agency and is included in the Successor Agency of
the former RDA as a receivable.
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s chief operating fund. At the end of 2024-25, the
unassigned fund balance was $84,454,583 while total fund balance was $242,951,299.
The General Fund balance increased by $33,165,592 in 2024-25. Key factors were:
13
•A year-over-year decrease of $2,882,000 in non-spendable is attributed the
2024-25 Redevelopment Agency loan repayment of $2,805,000 offset by interest
earnings of $57,000 resulted in a net decrease of $2,748,000 in Due from Other
Governments. The outstanding loan balance of $17,969,747 is recognized as 80%
in the General Fund and 20% in the Housing Authority Fund.
•Restricted reserves are limited to funds held in a Section 115 Pension Trust set
aside to fund the City’s pension obligations. The trust was initially established in
FY 2018-19 with a deposit of $6,540,000, followed by an additional $3,460,000 in
FY 2019-20. In FY 2022-23, a one-time discretionary payment of $5,000,000 was
made to CalPERS to reduce the City’s unfunded pension liabilities, utilizing funds
from the trust. The increases in FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 were primarily driven
by interest earnings within the trust.
•Committed reserves decreased by $900,000, primarily due to the reclassification
of operational carryover balances from the committed category to the assigned
category. The committed classification now reflects only formally established
reserve amounts.
•An increase of $11,338,000 in assigned reserves was due to $3,739,000 in the fire
services trust and $10,962,000 in multi-year capital projects and operations
carryovers. Assigned to public safety represents property tax accumulated and
held in trust by the County of Riverside for fire protection, disaster preparedness
and response, fire prevention, rescue, hazardous materials mitigation, technical
rescue response, medical emergency services, and public service assistance (the
County and City negotiated an agreement wherein the County fire service property
tax revenue generated in the two former City redevelopment project areas is
pledged to the City to fund the aforementioned services). This portion of assigned
fund balance as of June 30, 2025, is $19,391,133. These increases combined with
a decrease in Measure G sales tax reserve ($3,362,000) contributed to the overall
increase in assigned reserves.
Housing Authority Fund
The Housing Authority Fund is used to account for the activities of the Housing Authority;
the Housing Authority invests in programs and projects that preserve and increase the
supply of affordable housing in the City. The fund balance decreased by $227,346 to end
the year at $24,528,484.
Capital Improvement Fund
The Capital Improvement Fund is primarily used to record the expenditures for capital
projects. The fund had forty-six (46) active Capital Improvement Projects budgeted
during 2024-25. The five most active projects were:
•Dune Palms Bridge Improvements ($9,972,000)
•Fred Waring Drive Pavement Rehabilitation ($1,529,000)
•Fritz Burns Park Improvements ($1,066,000)
•Dune Palms Road Pavement Rehabilitation ($914,000)
14
•Village Art Plaza Promenade & Cultural Campus ($656,000)
These projects, along with others, leveraged State or Federal grant funds or were
significantly supported with Measure G sales tax revenues.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
The City of La Quinta's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in
the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The financial activities of the City enterprise fund are addressed in the discussion of the
City’s business-type activities. In addition, the City has four (4) internal service funds to
accumulate resources for equipment and vehicle replacement, information technology,
insurance, and park equipment and facility replacement.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
Most General Fund revenues experienced positive variances when compared to the
final budget specifically related to use of money and property and tax revenues.
Revenue appropriations and transfers in increased by $11,633,504 between the original
($82,914,300) and final amended budget ($94,547,804). The category representing the
largest variances is taxes, which represents 82% of all General Fund revenues. Actuals
for taxes include the three largest funding sources for the City – sales taxes
$27,874,000, transient occupancy taxes (TOT) $15,950,000, and property taxes
$13,694,000. Combined, these top three revenues account for $57,518,000 or 72% of
all taxes, resulting in a $1,511,000 increase from the prior fiscal year with increases in
all categories.
Expenditure appropriations and transfers out increased by $25,086,923 between the
original ($83,361,665) and final amended budget ($108,448,588) which included the
following significant change:
•$21,667,000 in operational and capital improvement project carryover
appropriations from prior fiscal years to 2024-25 as approved by City Council.

Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Net Position
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position are
different because:
Total fund balances - governmental funds $ 302,652,399
Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization, used in governmental
activities are not financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds. 539,657,184
Differences between expected and actual experiences, assumption changes and
net differences between projected and actual earnings, and contributions
subsequent to the measurement date for the postretirement benefits (pension and
OPEB) are recognized as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources on the Statement of Net Position.
Deferred outflows-pension related 10,372,123
Deferred outflows-OPEB related 241,027
Deferred inflows-pension related (5,092,385)
Deferred inflows-OPEB related (725,228)
Total deferred outflows and inflows related to postemployment benefits 4,795,537
Other long-term assets that are not available to pay for current period expenditures
and, therefore, are either labeled unavailable or not reported in the funds.
Long-term receivables 31,936,198
Net OPEB asset 663,911
Total other long-term assets 32,600,109

For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
See accompanying Notes to the Basic Financial Statements 28
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different
because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds:$ 32,750,505
Governmental funds report capital outlays are expenditures. However, in the
Statement of Activities, the cost of these assets is allocated over their estimated useful
lives and reported as depreciation/amortization expense. This is the amount by which
capital outlays exceeded depreciation/amortization expense in the current period.
Capital outlay 13,624,531
Depreciation/amortization expense (9,094,900)
Total adjustment 4,529,631
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds.
Earned but unavailable grant revenues 3,062,976
Total adjustment 3,062,976
Bond and other debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental
funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position.
Repayment of bond and other debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental
funds, but repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position.
Also, governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items
when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the
Statement of Activities.
Principal payments 9,379
Total adjustment 9,379
Internal service funds provide services to other funds on a cost-reimbursement basis.
The net revenue of certain activities of internal service funds is reported with
governmental activities. 3,231,405
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 the
governmental funds.

A. The Reporting Entity
The City of La Quinta, California (City) was incorporated May 1, 1982, under the general laws of the State of
California. In November 1996, the City became a charter City. The City operates under the Council – Manager
form of government.
The City provides many community services including public safety, highway and street maintenance, health and
social services, cultural and leisure services, public improvements, planning and zoning services, and community
development services.
The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to
governments. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the City
and its component units, which are entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The City
is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the City appoints a voting majority of that
organization’s governing body and the City is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for
that organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. The City
is also considered to be financially accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent (i.e., it is unable to adopt
its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval from the City). In certain cases,
other organizations are included as component units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the
City are such that their exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
All of the City’s component units are considered to be blended component units. Blended component units,
although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the City’s operations and so data from these units are
reported with the interfund data of the primary government.
The following organizations are considered to be component units of the City:
City of La Quinta Public Financing Authority
The La Quinta Public Financing Authority (Financing Authority) was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement dated November 19, 1991, between the City and the Former Redevelopment Agency now
Successor Agency). The purpose of the Financing Authority is to provide financing necessary for the construction
of various public improvements through the issuance of debt. Although the Financing Authority is legally separate,
it is reported as if it were part of the City because the City Council also serves as the governing board of the
Financing Authority and the management of the City has operational responsibility for the Financing Authority. The
activities of the Financing Authority are recorded in the debt service fund. Separate financial statements of the
Financing Authority are not prepared.
City of La Quinta Housing Authority
The La Quinta Housing Authority (Housing Authority) was established pursuant to California Housing Authorities
Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 34200 et seq.) on September 15, 2009. The purpose of the Housing
Authority is to provide safe and sanitary housing opportunities for La Quinta residents. Although the Housing
Authority is legally separate, it is reported as if it were part of the City because the City Council also serves as the
governing board of the Housing Authority and the management of the City has operational responsibility for the
Housing Authority. The activities of the Housing Authority are recorded in the Housing Authority Special Revenue
Fund. Separate financial statements of the Housing Authority are not prepared.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
• Government- wide financial statements
CITY OF LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
504
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
39
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to the financial statements
Government- Wide 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 nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. All
fiduciary activities are reported only in the fund financial statements. Governmental activities, which normally are
supported by taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions, are reported separately
from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges to external customers for
support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units
for which the primary government is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segments
are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or
segment. Program revenues include charges for services, special assessments, and payments made by parties
outside of the reporting City’s citizenry if that money is restricted to a particular program. Program revenues are
netted with program expenses in the statement of activities to present the net cost of each program. Taxes and
other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Amounts
paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements, rather than
reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the government- wide financial
statements, rather than as other financing sources. Amounts paid to reduce long- term indebtedness of the
reporting government are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as expenditures.
Fund Financial Statements
The underlying accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds, each of
which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a
separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities,
deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate.
Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which
they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
Fund financial statements for the governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented after the
government- wide financial statements. These statements display information about major funds individually and
nonmajor funds in the aggregate for governmental and proprietary funds. Fiduciary statements include financial
information for fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds of the city primarily represent assets held by the City in a custodial
capacity for other individuals or organizations.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement
Presentation Government- Wide Financial Statements
While separate government- wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are interrelated. The
governmental activities column incorporates data from governmental funds and internal service funds, while
business- type activities incorporate data from the government' s enterprise funds. Separate financial statements
are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded
from the government-wide financial statements.

The government- wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is
incurred regardless of the related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized in the year they are levied. Grants
and similar items are recognized as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the providers are met.
Governmental Funds
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current resources focus and
modified- accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and
available as net current assets. Measurable means that the amounts can be estimated, or otherwise determined.
Available means that the amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to be
available to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period. The City uses a 60-day availability period.
Revenue recognition is subject to the measurable and availability criteria for the governmental funds in the fund
financial statements. Exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period in which they are earned
(i.e., the related goods or services are provided). Locally imposed delivered tax revenues are recognized as
revenues in the period in which the underlying exchange transaction on which they are based takes place.
Imposed nonexchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period for which they were imposed. If the
period of use is not specified, they are recognized as revenues when an enforceable legal claim to the revenues
arises or when they are received, whichever occurs first. Government- mandated and voluntary non- exchange
transactions are recognized as revenues when all applicable eligibility requirements have been met.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered
to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other
revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current financial resources
measurement focus. This means that only current assets, deferred outflows of resources, current liabilities, and
deferred inflows of resources are generally included on their balance sheets. The reported fund balance is
considered to be a measure of “available spendable resources”. Governmental fund operating statements present
increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses).
Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of “available spendable resources” during a
period.
Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on their balance sheets in
spite of their spending measurement focus. Special reporting treatments are used to indicate, however, that they
should not be considered “ available spendable resources”, since they do not represent net current assets.
Recognition of governmental fund type revenues represented by noncurrent receivables are deferred until they
become current receivables. Noncurrent portions of other long-term receivables are offset by fund balance
reserve accounts.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types excludes
amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such long-term amounts
are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were
expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as other financing sources
rather than as a fund liability. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as fund expenditures.

Proprietary Funds
The City’s enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial statements, proprietary
funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned, and
expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the fund financial statements,
proprietary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. This means that all assets, all
deferred outflows of resources, all liabilities, and all deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent)
associated with their activity are included on their balance sheets. Proprietary fund type operating statements
present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the proprietary fund financial statements,
rather than reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the proprietary fund
financial statements, rather than as another financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of
the proprietary funds are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as expenditures.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Enterprise Funds are
charges to customers for sales and services.
Operating expenses for Enterprise 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
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Fiduciary Funds
The pension and private-purpose trust funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting.
Major Funds, Internal Service Funds and Fiduciary Fund Types
The City’s major governmental funds are as follows:
General Fund – This fund is the primary fund of the City and is used to account for all revenue and expenditures
of the City not legally restricted as to use. A broad range of municipal activities are provided through this fund

Works, and Community Services.
Housing Authority – This fund accounts for the combined housing activities of the Housing Authority in Project
Areas 1 and 2 which promotes and provides for quality housing. Revenues will be provided from the receipts and

applicable housing-related provisions of the California Housing Authorities Law.
Capital Improvement Fund – This capital projects fund is used to account for the planning, design and
construction of various capital projects throughout the City.

obligations until obligations of the Former Agency are paid in full and assets have been liquidated.
Assets, Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position or
Equity
Cash and Investments
For financial reporting purposes, investments are adjusted to their fair value. Changes in fair value that occur
during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes
interest earnings, changes in fair value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation or sale of
investments.
The City pools cash and investments of all funds, except for assets held within the Section 115 trust and amounts
held by fiscal agents. Each fund’s share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as
cash and investments. Investment income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds
based on each fund’s month end cash and investment balance.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments
that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or so near their maturity that they present insignificant
risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Cash equivalents also represent the proprietary
fund’s share in the City’s cash and investment pool. Cash equivalents have an original maturity date of three
months or less from the date of purchase. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the entire balance of cash
and investments on the combined balance sheet for the proprietary funds is considered cash and cash
equivalents.

Lease Receivable
Lease receivable is recorded by the City as the present value of future lease payments expected to be received
from the lessee during the lease term, reduced by any provision for estimated uncollectible amounts. Lease
receivables are subsequently reduced over the life of the lease as cash is received in the applicable reporting
period. The present value of future lease payments to be received are discounted based on the interest rate the
City charges the lessee.
Restricted Section 115 Trust Cash and Investments
All assets in the Section 115 Trust are irrevocably dedicated to funding obligations of the City’s pension
beneficiaries, other post-employment beneficiaries or costs of administering the Trust. The funds are not
considered plan assets of either the pension plan or OPEB plan and are therefore considered restricted assets of
the City.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at cost using the first in/first out (FIFO) method. The City uses the consumption method of
accounting for inventories.
Prepaid Costs
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid
items in both government- wide and fund financial statements. The City utilizes the consumption method, in which
prepaid items are accounted for in the period that the benefit was received.
Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at cost where historical records are available and at an
estimated historical cost where no historical records exist. Contributed capital assets are valued at their
acquisition value at the date of the contribution. Generally, capital asset purchases in excess of $5,000 are
capitalized if they have an expected useful life of three years or more.
Capital Assets include public domain (infrastructure) consisting of certain improvements including roads, streets,
sidewalks, medians, and storm drains. Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives using the straight- line method in the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial
statements of the proprietary funds. Depreciation is charged as an expense against operations and accumulated
depreciation is reported on the respective statements of net position.
The following schedule summarizes capital asset useful lives:
Buildings and improvements 10-30 years
Equipment and furniture 3-20 years
Vehicles 5-10 years
Infrastructure 10-50 years
Software 5-10 years
Right to use leases assets Shorter of useful life or lease or subscription term

Lease assets are recognized at the lease commencement date and represent the City’s right to use an underlying
asset for the lease term. Leased assets are measured at the initial value of the lease liability plus any payments
made to the lessor before commencement of the lease term, less any lease incentives received from the lessor at
or before the commencement of the lease term, plus any initial direct costs necessary to please the lease asset
into service. Right to use leased assets are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or useful lives of the
underlying asset using the straight-line method. The amortization period varies from 3 to 5 years.
Subscription IT assets are recognized at the subscription commencement date and represent the City’s right to
use the underlying IT asset for the subscription term. Subscription IT assets are measured at the initial value of
the subscription liability plus any payments made to the vendor at the commencement of the subscription term,
less any subscription incentives received from the vendor at or before the commencement of the subscription
term, plus any capitalizable initial implementation costs necessary to place the subscription asset into service.
Subscription IT assets are amortized over the shorter of the subscription term or useful life of the underlying asset
using the straight line method. The amortization period varies from 3 to 5 years.
Property Taxes
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1 percent of assessed
value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes are recorded initially in a pool and are then
allocated to the cities based on complex formulas. Accordingly, the City of La Quinta accrues only those taxes that
are received from the County within sixty days after year-end.
Lien date January 1
Levy date July 1
Due dates November 1 and February 1
Collection dates December 10 and April 10
Deferred Outflows/ Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statements of net position and the governmental fund balance sheet will sometimes
report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred
outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. Governmental activities recorded
deferred outflows of resources related to pensions and other post-employment benefits. See Notes 9 and 11 for
more information about deferred outflows of pensions and post-employment benefits, respectively. The Private
Purpose Trust Fund- Successor Agency of the former RDA recorded deferred outflows of resources related to
debt refunding. See Note 17 for more information on the deferred outflows of resources related to debt refunding.
In addition to liabilities, the statements of net position and governmental fund balance sheet will sometimes report
a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows
of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
The City has reported two items on the governmental fund balance sheet that qualify for reporting in this category.
The first is unavailable revenues that were not received within the City’s availability period. These amounts are
deferred and recognized as inflows of resources in the period that the amounts become available. At the
government- wide statements, this item is eliminated and recognized as revenue in the period earned since
availability” of resources is not a criteria used in government-wide statements. The second item is a deferred
inflow related to leases where the City is the lessor. The deferred inflows of resources related to leases is
recognized on a straight line basis as an inflow of resources (revenue) over the term of the lease. Additionally,
governmental activities recorded deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and OPEB. See Notes 9 and
11 for more information about deferred inflows of pensions and post-employment benefits, respectively.

Compensated Absences
Vacation and sick time are vested on a percentage based on number of years employed at the City. Maximum
accumulation of sick and vacation is 40 and 60 days, respectively.
Upon termination or retirement, permanent employees are entitled to receive compensation at their current base
salary for all unused vacation leave. If an employee terminates with a minimum of two years’ service, the
employee is entitled to receive 25 percent of the value of his unused sick leave. The percentage increases by 25
percent for each five-year period until the employee is entitled to 100 percent of the value of their unused sick
leave. This will occur upon the completion of twenty years of continuous employment.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government- wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term debt and other
long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business- type activities
or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over
the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond
premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as
bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing
sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt
issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt
proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Lease liabilities represent the City’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are
recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments expected to be
made during the lease term. The present value of lease payments is discounted based on a borrowing rate
determined by the City.
Subscription liabilities represent the City’s obligation to make subscription payments arising from the subscription
contract. Subscription liabilities are recognized at the subscription commencement date based on the present
value of future subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. The present value of
subscription payments is discounted based on a borrowing rate determined by the City.
Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report the following fund balance classifications:
Nonspendable includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b)
legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted includes amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by either (a) external creditors,
grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions
or enabling legislation.
Committed includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by
formal action of the City’s highest authority, the City Council. The formal action that is required to be taken to
establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is by a resolution.
Assigned includes amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes but are
neither restricted nor committed. City Council is authorized to assign amounts to a specific purpose. The City
Council authorizes assigned amounts for specific purposes pursuant to the policy-making powers granted through
a resolution.

46
Unassigned includes the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific
purposes. The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance.
Fund Balance Flow Assumptions – governmental fund financial statements
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the
total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as
restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements a
flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied.
It is the City’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the
components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be
used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance.
Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
Net Position Flow Assumption – government- wide and proprietary fund financial statements
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant
proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and
unrestricted net position in the government- wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption
must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to
consider restricted net position to have been depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.
Use 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, liabilities, and deferred outflows/inflows of resources and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/ expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted in the Current Year
GASB Statement No. 101 – In June 2022, the GASB issued Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. 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. The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,
and all reporting periods thereafter. The City has evaluated the impact of this statement and determined that it did
not have a material effect on the City’s financial statements; as such no restatement of balances as of July 1,
2024 was deemed necessary.
GASB Statement No. 102 – In December 2023, the GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures.
The objective of this Statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential information
about risks related to a state or local government’s vulnerabilities due to the variety of risks they face. The
requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2024. The City has not
determined the effect on the financial statements. The City has evaluated the impact of this statement and
determined that no additional disclosures are necessary at this time.

separately in the capital assets note disclosures required by Statement 34. Lease assets recognized in
accordance with Statement No. 87, Leases, and intangible right-to-use assets recognized in accordance with
Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements, should
be disclosed separately by major class of underlying asset in the capital as-sets note disclosures. Subscription

limitations on the maximum amount that can be invested in one issuer or the maximum maturity of an investment.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to
changes in market interest rates.
One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of short
term and long-term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is
maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed
for operations.

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the
investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization. The City's investment policy limits investments in commercial paper and money market mutual funds

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a
government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the
possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure
of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its
investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The City utilizes delivery versus
payment for investment purchases, which requires investments to be received prior to delivery of cash payment.
The California Government Code and the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that
would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for
deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or
local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated
under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the
collateral pool must equal at least 110 percent of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law
also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value
of 150 percent of the secured public deposits, or by letters of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank of
San Francisco having a value of 105 percent of the secured public deposits.
As a public funds depository, BMO Bank N.A. maintains a public funds deposit collateralization program that is
designed to comply with all applicable statutes and regulations governing public funds deposits, including pledge
and perfection of collateral. Accounts holding public funds are labeled as such and trigger collateralization.
Collateral needs are met based on the prior day close of business. However, same-day collateral requests may be
accommodated upon request.

The City is a voluntary participant in the Riverside County Pooled Investment Fund that is regulated by California
Government Code Section 53646 and managed by the Riverside County Treasurer. The City’s investment in this

with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not rated.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California
Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City’s
investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s
pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relations to the amortized cost of
that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which
are recorded on an amortized cost basis. Deposits and withdrawals are made on the basis of $1 and not fair
value. Accordingly, the City’s measurement of fair value of its investment with LAIF is based on uncategorized
inputs, not defined as a level 1, level 2, or level 3 input. LAIF is not registered with the Securities and Exchange

Commission.
Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other
observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Investments categorized as Level 2 are
valued using the market approach and quoted market prices.
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2025:

In September 1994, the former redevelopment agency sold certain real property to LINC Housing for $2,112,847.
The property was used to construct single-family homes and rental units to increase the City's supply of low- and
moderate-income housing. The note bears interest at 6 percent per annum and is due in full on June 15, 2029. On
February 1, 2012, this receivable was transferred to the Housing Authority, which took over the housing function of
the former redevelopment agency upon dissolution. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding principal balance is
$2,035,388 and the outstanding interest is $3,620,776.
In February 2011, the former redevelopment agency entered into Disposition and Development Agreement with
Coral Mountain Partners L.P. (“Coral Mountain”) to fund up to $29,000,000 for the construction of a low- and
moderate-income apartment complex with an estimated completion date of the apartment complex of March
2014. The former redevelopment agency’s $29,000,000 loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note executed by
Coral Mountain (“Note”). Interest on the outstanding note amount will bear simple interest of 1 percent. Principal
and interest will be repaid on or before May 1st of each year from annual residual receipts as defined in the Note
once the project is completed and may be repaid early if the property is refinanced, or if the property is transferred
to another entity. On February 1, 2012, this receivable was transferred to the Housing Authority which took over
the housing function of the former redevelopment agency upon dissolution. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding
principal balance is $20,206,071 and the outstanding interest balance is $2,387,329.
In connection with the Talus La Quinta development project (formerly known as the SilverRock Resort), the City
entered into agreements with the project developer to support the continued advancement and protection of the
project site. In August 2024, the developer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Subsequent to the
bankruptcy filing, the City Council approved court-authorized debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing in an amount
not to exceed $11,000,000 to fund site remediation, project security, and costs associated with the bankruptcy
proceedings and transition to new project ownership. The DIP financing is evidenced by formal agreements
approved by the Bankruptcy Court and is secured by a super-priority lien on the debtor’s assets. As of June 30,
2025, the City advanced $5,865,124 under the DIP financing arrangements. The advances bear interest at a rate
tied to the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and are expected to be repaid upon specified events, including
the sale, transfer, or refinancing of project assets, or in accordance with the approved reorganization plan. The
amounts advanced by the City related to the Talus La Quinta project are reported as notes receivable or advances
and are evaluated for collectability in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

All qualified employees are eligible to participate in the City’s Miscellaneous Employee Pension Plan, a cost-
sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the California Public Employees’
Retirement System (CalPERS). Benefit provisions under these plans are established by State statute and City
resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding
benefit provision, assumption and membership information. Copies of the report can be found on the CalPERS
website.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits
to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited
service, equal to one year of full-time employment.
Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All
members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the
following: The Basic Death Benefit, the 1959 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The
cost-of-living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The
Plan’s provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2025 are summarized as follows:

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer
contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective
on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions are determined annually on an
actuarial basis as of June 30th by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary
to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The
employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate
of employees. Employer contributions to the pension plan were $4,931,801 for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to
Pensions
As of June 30, 2025, the City reported a liability of $608,374 for its proportionate share of the collective net
pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2023. The City’s
proportion of the collective net pension liability was based on a projection of the City’s long-term share of
contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially
determined. The City’s proportion of the collective net pension liability as of June 30, 2024 and 2025 is as follows:
Proportion - June 30, 2024 0.0216 %
Proportion - June 30, 2025 0.0050 %
Change - Increase (Decrease) -0.0166 %
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City recognized pension expense of $1,019,989.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2024 ( the measurement date), the total pension liability was
determined by rolling forward the June 30, 2023 total pension liability. The total pension liability in the June 30,
2023 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Miscellaneous
Valuation Date June 30, 2023
Measurement Date June 30, 2024
Actuarial Cost Method Entry - Age Normal Cost Method
Discount Rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Projected Salary Increase Varies by Entry Age and Service
Mortality Rate Table Derived using CalPERS' Membership Data for all Fund
Post - retirement benefit increase Contract COLA up to 2.30% until Purchasing Power Protection
Allowance Floor on Purchasing Power applies
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90 percent. The projection of cash flows used
to determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will be made at the current contribution rate
and that the City’s contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined
contributions rates and the employee rate. Based on those assumptions, each pension plan’s fiduciary net
position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of 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.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account long-term market return
expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Projected returns for all asset classes are
estimated and, combined with risk estimates, are used to project compound (geometric) returns over the long
term. The discount rate used to discount liabilities was informed by the long-term projected portfolio return.

NOTE 12 - SECTION 115 TRUST
In the fiscal year 2019, the City Council approved the creation of a Section 115 Trust Agreement with U.S Bank
National Association, and Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS), Trust Administrator. The Section 115 Trust
was established as a means to set aside monies to fund the City’s pension and OPEB obligations. Contributions
to the Section 115 Trust are irrevocable, the assets are dedicated to providing benefits to plan members, and the
assets are protected from creditors of the City. The purpose of the creation of the section 115 Trust was to
address the City’s pension obligations by accumulating assets to reduce the net pension liability. However, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets in the Section 115 Trust are not considered
to have present service capacity as plan assets and are therefore considered restricted assets of the City rather
than pension plan assets. Accordingly, the Section 115 Trust’s assets are recorded as restricted for pension
benefits in the City’s General Fund rather than assets of the pension plan during the measurement of the net
pension liability. The assets held in trust will be considered pension plan assets at the time they are transferred
out of the Trust into the pension plan.
The balance in the Trust for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 was $6,172,305. The City currently funds its
OPEB obligations through the CERBT program, and although the Section 115 Trust is able to accept OPEB funds,
the City has no immediate plans to fund OPEB obligations through the Section 115 Trust.

Self-Insurance Programs of the CJPIA
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. The total funding requirement
for primary self-insurance programs is based on an actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies
based on payroll and claims history, relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool.
Primary Liability Program
Claims are pooled separately between police and general government exposures. (1) The payroll of each member
is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member,
which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first
layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of
the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from
$100,000 to $500,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs
within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $500,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on the outcome of
cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence.
Subsidence losses also have a $50 million per occurrence limit. The coverage structure is composed of a
combination of pooled self-insurance, reinsurance, and excess insurance. Additional information concerning the
coverage structure is available on the Authority’s website: https://cjpia.org/coverage/risk-sharing-pools/
Workers’ Compensation
Claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and general government exposures. (1) The
payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is
determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses
within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $75,000 for each occurrence and is
evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses
includes incurred costs from $75,000 to $200,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the
pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs from $200,000 to statutory limits are
distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
For 2024-25 the Authority’s pooled retention is $1 million per occurrence, with reinsurance to statutory limits under
California Workers’ Compensation Law. Employer’s Liability losses are pooled among members to $1 million.
Coverage from $1 million to $5 million is purchased through reinsurance policies, and Employer’s Liability losses
from $5 million to $10 million are pooled among members.

Natural Disaster Emergency Reserves: These funds may be utilized for the preparation, recovery, and restoration
of services before, during and/or after a natural disaster (such as flood, earthquake, etc.) as defined by City Code
2.20.020.
The target of $15,000,000 was determined by conducting a risk analysis of all City assets, insurance levels, and
potential federal/state contributions towards disaster recovery efforts. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City
has committed $15,000,000 to this category.
Economic Downturn Reserves: These funds may be used in such instances as a declared national, state, or
regional recession; loss of a major (top 10) revenue-generating business; or a natural disaster resulting in a
significant decline in revenues. These reserves may also be used if overall revenues decrease, or expenditures
increase more than 10% of the previous year’s actual revenues or expenditures.
The target of $13,000,000, was based on a long-term analysis of the revenue and expenditure flows (which
included the financial impacts of the Great Recession, the loss of Redevelopment Agencies, and the COVID-19
pandemic) as well as the application of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases to the original base target. For
the year ended June 30, 2025, the City has committed $13,000,000 to this category.
Cash Flow Reserves: These funds are maintained to have adequate cash on hand to account for the uneven
receipt of revenue. For example, property tax accounts for a large percentage of annual revenue, the bulk of
which is not remitted until December and May of each year.
The target for the Cash Flow Reserves is 10% of each year’s revenue budget, or a minimum of $5,000,000. For
the year ended June 30, 2025, the City has committed $5,000,000 to this category.
Capital Improvement Reserves: These funds may be used for capital assets and infrastructure rehabilitation,
improvement, and replacement.
The target of $12,000,000 is based on annual depreciation of assets and may be adjusted by the Consumer Price
Index (CPI). For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City has committed $12,000,000 to this category.
Assigned Fund Balance
The City has the following assigned fund balance shown on the balance sheet:
Assigned to public safety represents property tax accumulated and withheld by the County of Riverside to be used

NOTE 17 - SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (“the Bill”) that provides for the
dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action impacted the reporting entity of the
City of La Quinta that previously had reported a redevelopment agency within the reporting entity of the City as a
blended component unit.

NOTE 15 - GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
71
The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the city or another unit of local
government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other
units of state and local government. On January 3, 2012, the City Council elected to become the Successor
Agency for the Former Redevelopment Agency (‘Former Agency”) in accordance with the Bill as part of City
resolution number 2012-002.
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California
cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established
oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of
dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual
commitments).
In future fiscal years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the
estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the Former Agency until all enforceable
obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29,
2011) all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as a legal entity
as of February 1, 2012.
The Successor Agency to the Former Agency is reported as a fiduciary fund (private purpose trust fund).
Cash and Investments
Cash and investments reported in the accompanying financial statements consisted of the following:
Cash and investments pooled with City $ 15,777,560

recorded as a deferred outflow of resources and amortized over the shorter of the new or refunded debt,
whichever is shorter. Activity during the fiscal year is comprised of the following:

Pledged Tax Revenues
The City pledged, as security for bonds issued, either directly or through the Financing Authority, a portion of tax
increment revenue (including Low and Moderate Income Housing set-aside and pass through allocations) that it
receives. The bonds issued were to provide financing for various capital projects, accomplish Low and Moderate
Income Housing projects and to defease previously issued bonds. Assembly Bill 1X 26 provided that upon
dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, property taxes allocated to redevelopment agencies no longer are
deemed tax increment but rather property tax revenues and will be allocated first to successor agencies to make
payments on the indebtedness incurred by the dissolved redevelopment agency. Total principal and interest
remaining on the debt is $152,948,209 with annual debt service requirements as indicated above. For the current
year, the total property tax revenue recognized by the Successor Agency for the payment of indebtedness
incurred was $20,261,137 and the debt service obligation on the bonds was $16,696,117.
Insurance
The Successor Agency of the Former Agency is covered under the insurance policy of the City of La Quinta at

NOTE 18 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The City evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through December 19, 2025, the date on
which these financial statements were available to be issued. Subsequent to year end, on December 9, 2025,
escrow closed on the sale of approximately 130 acres of the SilverRock/Talus project to Turnbridge Equities
(TBE), following approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in October 2025. As a result of the closing, the City’s
Debtor-In-Possession (DIP) financing loan provided to the prior developer was repaid in full. A reinstated and
amended development agreement and related project approvals previously authorized by the City Council now
govern the project under the new ownership. The related bankruptcy proceedings remain ongoing, as an appeal
filed by a creditor is pending as of the date of issuance of these financial statements. Management has concluded
that no other material subsequent events have occurred since June 30, 2025, that required recognition or
disclosure in these financial statements.

Notes:
(1) Total assessed valuation is from the Equalized Assessor report which includes homeowner exemptions.
(2)For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable percentages were
estimated by determining the portion of the overlapping district's taxable assessed value that is within the city's boundaries divided by the district's total taxable assessed value.
(3)Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of
those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay
long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident, and
therefore responsible for repaying the debt of each overlapping government.

Notes:
(1) Assessed Valuation is from the Equalized Auditor's Net report which excludes the homeowner exemptions
(2)Section 43605 of the Government Code of the State of California limits the amount of indebtedness for public improvements to 15% of the
gross assessed valuation or property. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based on 25% of market value.
Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for
that parcel). The computations shown above reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation
perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State. This is the equivalent of 3.75%
of the full assessed value.
(3)The City of La Quinta has no general bonded indebtedness.

through various projects and the 2020 number has been updated accordingly.
(2)The decorative streetlights in Old Town were added for the first time in 2017.
(3)In 2024-25 the City completed work on the Dune Palms Bridge; the total bridge count has been adjusted to reflect only bridges on public roadways.
(4)In fiscal year 2019-20, the City added one public park, the SilverRock Event Site. In 2020, the City aligned reporting with the Developmental Impact Fee Study from
August 2019 which identifies parks as 'City-Owned' and 'City-Improved' by acreage in Table 3.1. In 2021-22, the City added one public park, the X-park. Additionally,
the park count now includes two sports fields owned by Desert Sands Unified School District but maintained by the City. These parks were already included in the
"city-improved acres" line. In fiscal year 2023-24, the City added a small park in the Cactus Flower area.
