Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council 
El Mirage, AZ  85335 
State law mandates that all general-purpose local governments are required to undergo an annual 
audit and publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and audited in accordance 
with standards generally accepted in the United States by a certified public accounting firm 
licensed in the State of Arizona.  Pursuant to that requirement, we hereby issue the annual 
comprehensive financial report of the City of El Mirage, Arizona (City) for the fiscal year ended 
June 30, 2022. 
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the 
City.  Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability 
of all of the information presented in this report.  To provide a reasonable basis for making 
these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal 
control framework that is designed both to protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or 
misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s 
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America.  Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their 
benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to 
provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free of 
material misstatement.  As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, 
this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. 
The City’s financial statements have been audited by Henry+Horne, a certified public accounting 
firm. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial 
statements of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, are free of material misstatement.  
The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  The 
independent auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for 
rendering an unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended 
June 30, 2022, are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 
in the United States of America.  The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first 
component of the financial section of this report. 
i

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management 
provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial 
statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A).  This letter of 
transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.  The 
City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. 
El Mirage Community Profile 
Background, Population, and Business.  El Mirage is situated on approximately 10 square miles 
in the heart of the rapidly growing West Valley.  The City was founded in 1937 by migrant farm 
workers who settled on the west bank of the Agua Fria River and harvested the acres of roses, 
cotton, and other crops that would come to define the City’s agricultural heritage.  Since its 
incorporation in 1951, the community 
has transcended its agricultural 
beginnings to become a vibrant, 
diverse community with a U.S. Census 
population estimate of 36,101. 
In recent years, El Mirage has adopted 
economic development initiatives to 
attract new commercial and industrial 
businesses to the City.  Impact fees 
normally charged for 
infrastructure expansion have been eliminated, and El Mirage has joined 
with other West Valley cities to form the Greater Maricopa Foreign Trade 
Zone, allowing goods to be moved through the region exempt from 
certain U.S. Customs fees. 
Local employers include Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, 
which operates an 82-acre vehicle distribution center in El Mirage.  
Vulcan Materials Group, Cives, Microsoft, and Contech Engineered 
Solutions are also among the firms representing the City’s industrial 
and technology base.   Luke Air Force Base, located one mile west of 
El Mirage, is the largest jet fighter training base in the world and 
employs over 1,500 civilians, many of whom are El Mirage residents. 
The City of El Mirage offers a range of community facilities including a senior 
center and library.  Thirteen-acre 
Gateway Park is the center for sports and family 
gatherings in El Mirage, with an amphitheater, 
picnic ramadas, shaded playgrounds, lighted 
sports fields, and a skate plaza that is the first of 
its kind in Arizona.  El Mirage is also home to 
Bill Gentry Park, a newly renovated little league 
field that draws teams from throughout the 
Valley for regular play, as well as regional 
tournaments.  The renowned Pueblo El Mirage 
Golf Resort, situated on 310 acres in the City, 
boasts an 18-hole professional golf course and 
has home choices, as well as a host of indoor and 
outdoor activities for active seniors. 
ii

In November 2011, El Mirage voters authorized $2.5 million in bonds to construct a recreation facility and 
swimming pool operated by the YMCA and $6.0 million for a police facility.  The police facility was completed 
in December 2013, while the recreational facility opened for business in July 2014.  
Governing Structure.  Like most Arizona cities and towns, El Mirage operates under a council-manager form 
of government. Under this system, the City Council hires a City Manager to 
implement policy, as well as oversee the daily administration and 
management of all City departments. The City Manager is responsible for 
developing a balanced budget ($105 million for FY 23) and a capital 
improvement plan for council review and approval each year. The City 
Manager also keeps the council advised of the City’s financial condition 
and future needs.  The City Manager is responsible for the financial 
operation of thirteen funds, ten City departments, and more than 200 
employees.   
Policymaking and legislative authority are vested in a governing council 
consisting of the Mayor and six Councilors.  One of whom is selected as 
Vice-
Vice Mayor.  All seven members of the council are elected at large and on a 
non-partisan basis to serve a four-year term.  Elections are staggered so three councilors are elected every two 
years and the mayor is elected every four years.  The council is responsible for passing ordinances, adopting the 
budget, appointing committees, and selecting the City Attorney, City Clerk, and Judge in addition to the City 
Manager. 
Types and Levels of Services.  The City of El Mirage 
provides a full range of services including police and fire 
protection, roadway maintenance and construction, 
recreational and cultural activities, health and social 
services, as well as general administrative services.  
The City provides sewer and water services to its 
residents, along with water services to residents in a 
portion of the neighboring City of Surprise.  El 
Mirage contracts with a local sanitation company for 
sanitary services.  Enterprise funds were established for the 
accounting and financial reporting of water, sewer, and sanitation 
services. 
Budget Process and Legal Level of Control.  The annual expenditure budget serves as the foundation for City 
financial planning and control.  The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal 
provisions embodied in the annual expenditure budget approved by the City Council.  All City departments are 
required to submit requests for appropriations during the budget process.  The City Manager and Finance 
Department use these requests plus the prior year’s operating budget as the starting point for assembling a 
proposed budget for Council consideration.  The Council holds a workshop to discuss the proposed budget where 
presentations are made to the Council on revenues, expenditures, capital, staffing, and taxes.  Public hearings are 
then held on both the budget and proposed property levies.  Both the budget and the tax levy are approved by the 
Council before the 15th of August each year.  Maricopa County is required to set the tax rate to collect the levy 
that the Council sets.  The County sets the rate on the third Monday in August.  The budget schedules provided 
by the state are adopted at both the fund and department levels, which become the legal levels of control for the 
City Council.  Council must authorize all budget adjustments at these levels.  
iii

Factors Affecting Economic Conditions 
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the 
broader perspective of the specific environment in which the City operates. 
Local Economy.  The El Mirage economy was primarily 
dependent on housing construction for many years. In 2004 
the City began to approach residential build-out and the 
Maricopa County housing market began to diminish causing 
unemployment statewide, countywide, and locally to spike 
(The local unemployment rate tends to be slightly higher 
than county and state levels.).  Since that time, the City has 
turned its focus toward retail and industrial growth resulting 
in the opening of a Walmart Supercenter, Cives Steel, 
Burger King, Subway, Family Dollar, Microsoft, and others 
in recent years.  In addition, the number of local businesses 
currently stands at 1,671 according to the American Community Survey. The lack of retail growth within the City 
boundaries is a challenge that manifests in the City’s reliance on state shared revenues as much as local sales and 
property taxes to remain financially balanced.  State shared revenues are distributions of sales, income, vehicle, 
and gasoline taxes based on a statewide formula that was implemented as a result of limitations placed on the 
ability of cities and towns to collect local revenues.  Further information on the history of City revenues may be 
found in the MD&A, page 5, and the statistical section that begins on page 99 of this financial statement.  
Long-term Financial Planning.  In 2011, the Council adopted the City’s first-ever, five-year Capital 
Improvements Plan (CIP) which is updated annually as part of the regular budget.  The CIP is based in part on a 
series of goals adopted by the Council.  The Council goals and the CIP are intended to make the City more 
attractive to commercial development.  As part of the CIP, the City developed a five-year financial projection.  If 
the City is successful in expanding its retail base, the CIP will be revised upward each year. 
The presence of Luke Air Force Base provides a significant employment and economic engine for the community.  
However, Luke’s presence has placed significant land use restrictions on large tracks of City property.  Although 
such property is primarily zoned ‘agricultural’ at present, the City and the primary property owner have begun to 
convert this property to commercial and industrial uses.  Recent industries that have purchased property at this 
site include Cavco Homes, Cives Steel, Avanti Windows and Doors, and Microsoft.  While the property develops, 
the City continues to concentrate on infill properties ranging in size from a few acres to more than 80 acres. 
Given the continuing economic uncertainty at the local, state, and national levels, the City Council and 
administration recognize the need to assure reserves are available for future revenue shortfalls.  Therefore, the 
budget reflects a General Fund reserve of $11.0 million.  When the Council approved a utility rate study in 2011, 
it established reserves for each of the three utilities ranging from one month to three months.  The reserves are 
not budgeted.  The reserves are only intended to offset shortfalls in revenue collections, not as an opportunity to 
increase expenditures.  By resolution, the Council also directed that all primary property taxes be restricted to 
uses in support of police and fire operations. 
Relevant Financial Policies.  Each year since June 2012, the City Council has adopted or reviewed a series of 
comprehensive financial management policies designed to maintain a financially viable city government that 
provides an adequate level of services, programs, and activities that add value and contribute to the City’s mission, 
while providing financial flexibility to adapt to local, regional, and national economic changes.  
iv

Some of the adopted financial policies that may help users better understand the financial data included in this 
report are shown below: 
•
The City shall maintain a prudent level of financial resources to protect against reducing service levels,
incurring debt, or raising taxes and fees because of unexpected revenue shortfalls, unanticipated
expenditures, and similar circumstances.
•
The City shall rely on ongoing revenues to fund ongoing expenditures and avoid one-time sources of
revenues to fund ongoing activities.
•
The Finance Director shall annually prepare five-year revenue and expenditure forecasts to examine the
City’s ability to absorb operating costs due to changes in the economy, service demands, service levels,
and capital improvements.
•
The City shall fund current year capital projects with bonds, grants, or funds accumulated (fund
balances) prior to budgeting for capital expenditures.
•
The City shall practice conservatism in budgeting for both revenues and expenditures to ensure the City
can meet its ongoing obligations.   The City shall not budget excess funds collected (fund balance) for
ongoing expenditures.
•
The City shall develop diversified and stable revenue sources to protect activities from short-term
fluctuations in any single revenue source.
•
The City shall not dedicate revenues for specific purposes unless required by law, Council policy, or
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).  The Finance Director shall deposit all non-restricted
revenues in the General Fund for appropriation through the budget process.
•
The Council shall review user fees and charges annually to ensure recovery of all direct and indirect
costs of service, unless full cost recovery would be excessively burdensome on citizens receiving
service.
Major Initiatives. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the City had one major capital initiative under 
construction that will have significant future impact on the quality of life for its citizens, while expanding 
infrastructure and increasing the resources available for economic development. 
Dysart Road was identified as a “Road of Regional Significance” back in the 1999 Maricopa Associations of 
Governments (MAG) study and currently has one lane in each direction between Northern and Peoria Avenues. 
The City is widening this corridor to two 12 foot through lanes, a 14-foot median, bike lanes and curb and gutter. 
This project will include the design, land acquisition and construction. The total project cost estimate was 
originally $11.1 million and increased each year accommodate inflation and scope related changes . 
Award and Acknowledgments 
Award. 
 
The 
Government 
Finance 
Officers Association 
(GFOA) 
awarded 
a 
Certificate 
of Achievement for Excellence in 
Financial Reporting to the City for its annual 
comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year 
ended June 30, 2021.  To be awarded this 
certificate, the City published an easily readable 
and efficiently organized annual comprehensive  
financial report.  This report satisfied 
both 
generally 
accepted 
accounting principles in the 
United States and applicable legal requirements. 
v

This certificate is valid for a period of one year only. City finance officers believe that the current annual 
comprehensive financial report meets the program’s requirements, and we will be submitting it to GFOA to 
determine its eligibility for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 certificate. 
Acknowledgments.  The timely preparation of the annual comprehensive financial report was made possible by 
the dedicated service of the entire staff of the Finance Department.  Each member of the department and all 
departments who assisted are to be commended for their contributions to the preparation of this report. 
In closing, without the leadership and support of the City Council, preparation of this report would not have been 
possible.

Through this advocacy work for employees, Donna was asked to start the public employee sector of Arizona 
Conference of Police and Sherriff (AZCOPS), called "Maricopa Employees".  She is currently the President of this 
non-profit group and proudly leads her board by navigating public employees through processes and policies of 
their organization. 
Donna and her husband Dr. Winston own an animal hospital in Sunday City West.  Their two eldest sons are 
veterans of the U.S. Military and are very dedicated to military personnel and their families.  Because of this, 
they do not charge office visit fees at the animal hospital.  Donna is also a wedding planner and owns By 
Invitation Only. 
Donna believes in giving back to her community and has been extremely involved in volunteerism since she was 
a very young girl. She was the Family Readiness Group Leader for almost five years for her youngest son's Army 
Battalion.  She served on the Executive Board of the Single Mom Foundation and taught a ten week course called 
"The Road to Self Reliance." She currently sits on the Executive Board of Don't Leave Me, which started as a 
civic engagement project for college students and brings awareness to the dangers of leaving pets in hot cars. 
One of Donna's goals for the City of El Mirage is to partner with not only our local businesses but with our sister 
cities around us to build a stronger economy throughout our community. She would like to utilize these connections 
to support education, police and fire awareness in our own neighborhoods to secure a safer, better future for El 
Mirage citizens

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 
Council Members and Management 
City of El Mirage 
El Mirage, Arizona 
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 El Mirage,  as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial 
statements, which collectively comprise the City of El Mirage’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 of El Mirage, as of June 30, 
2022, 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 of El 
Mirage 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. 
Change in Accounting Principle 
As discussed in Note 1, Note 6 and Note 8 to the financial statements, in 2022 the City of El 
Mirage adopted the new accounting guidance, Government Accounting Standards Board No 87, 
Leases. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matters 
In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City 
of El Mirage failed to comply with the authorized transportation purposes, insofar as they relate 
to accounting matters, for Highway User Revenue Fund monies it received pursuant to Arizona 
Revised Statutes Title 28, Chapter 18, Article 2, and any other dedicated State transportation 
revenues it received. However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge 
of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed additional procedures, other matters may 
have come to our attention regarding the City of El Mirage’s noncompliance with the authorized 
transportation purposes referred to above, insofar as they relate to accounting matters. 
The communication related to compliance over the use of Highway User Revenue Fund and other 
dedicated State transportation revenue monies in the preceding paragraph is intended solely for 
the information and use of the members of the Arizona State Legislature, (the Arizona Auditor 
General,) the City of El Mirage’s Council Members and management, and other responsible 
parties within the City of El Mirage and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone 
other than these specified parties. 
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 of 
El Mirage’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.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Continued) 
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 of El Mirage’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 of El Mirage’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, and required supplementary information as listed in 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 of El Mirage’s basic financial statements. The accompanying 
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements 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 
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly stated, in all material 
respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. 
Other Information  
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other 
information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic 
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial 
statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of 
assurance thereon. 
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other 
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information 
and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially 
misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material 
misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. 
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards 
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated 
November 23, 2022 on our consideration of the City of El Mirage’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 of El 
Mirage’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 of El Mirage’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT 
 
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The three components of the 
financial statements are: (1) Government-wide financial statements which include the Statement 
of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. These statements provide information about the 
activities of the City as a whole. (2) Fund financial statements tell how these services were 
financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements 
also report the City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide statements by providing 
information about the City’s most significant funds. (3) Notes to the financial statements.  
 
Reporting the City as a Whole 
 
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities (Government-Wide) 
 
A frequently asked question regarding the City’s financial health is whether the year’s activities 
contributed positively to the overall financial well-being. The Statement of Net Position and the 
Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole and about its activities in a 
way that helps answer this question. These statements include all assets and liabilities using the 
accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector 
companies. All the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of 
when cash is received or paid. 
 
These two statements report the City’s net position and changes in them. Net position, the 
difference between assets and liabilities, are one way to measure the City’s financial health, or 
financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position are an indicator of whether 
the financial health is improving or deteriorating. However, it is important to consider other non-
financial factors such as changes in the City’s property tax base or condition of the City’s roads 
to accurately assess the overall health of the City. 
 
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities present information about the 
following: 
 
• 
Government activities – All of the City’s basic services are considered to be governmental 
activities, including general government, public safety, public works/streets, culture and 
recreation, and interest on long-term debt. Sales tax, property tax, federal grants, 
intergovernmental revenues, and charges for services finance most of these activities. 
 
• 
Proprietary activities/Business type activities – The City charges a fee to customers that 
is intended to cover all the cost of the services provided for water, sewer, and sanitation.

Reporting the City’s Most Significant Funds 
 
Fund Financial Statements 
 
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds—not 
the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law and by bond 
covenants. However, management establishes many other funds which aid in the management 
of money for particular purposes or to meet legal responsibilities associated with the usage of 
certain taxes, grants, and other money. The City’s two major kinds of funds, governmental and 
proprietary, use different accounting approaches as explained below. 
 
• 
Governmental funds – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds. 
Governmental funds focus on how resources flow in and out with the balances remaining at 
year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting 
method called the modified accrual accounting method, which measures cash and all other 
financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements 
provide a detailed short-term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic 
services it provides. Government fund information shows whether there are more or fewer 
financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. The 
relationship (or differences) between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net 
Position and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds is described in the 
reconciliation included with the Basic Financial Statements and in Note 2. 
 
• 
Proprietary funds – When the City charges customers for the services it provides, these 
services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported on the 
accrual basis of accounting in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement 
of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. 
 
• 
Notes to the financial statements – The notes provide additional information that is 
essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial 
statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found immediately following the 
basic financial statements. 
 
• 
Other information – In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, 
this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City’s 
budget process and pension plan. The City adopts an annual expenditure budget for all 
governmental funds. A schedule of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances – 
budget and actual has been provided for the General Fund as required supplementary 
information. Schedules for the pension plans have been provided as required supplementary 
information.

The largest portion of the City’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, 
land improvements; buildings and improvements; sewer plant; water mains and lines; sewer 
collection system; infrastructure; vehicles, machinery, and equipment; and construction in 
progress), less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets.  The City uses these 
capital assets to provide services to its citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for 
future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related 
outstanding debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided 
from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these 
liabilities. See Note 6, Capital Assets, for more information about the City’s capital assets. 
 
The City’s financial position is the product of several financial transactions including the net results 
of activities, the acquisition and payment of debt, the acquisition and disposal of capital assets, 
and the depreciation of capital assets.  The following are significant current year transactions that 
had an impact on the Statement of Net Position: 
 
• 
The addition of $9.3 million in governmental activities current and other assets, primarily 
cash and cash equivalents. 
• 
The reduction of $4.2 million in business-type activities long-term liabilities, due to 
principal payments on WIFA loans.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds 
 
As noted earlier, the City of El Mirage uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate 
compliance with finance-related legal requirements. 
 
Governmental funds – The focus of the City of El Mirage’s governmental funds is to provide 
information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources.  Such 
information is useful in assessing the City of El Mirage’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. See the Balance Sheet for Governmental 
Funds statement for information about components of the fiscal year’s ending fund balance for 
governmental funds. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City of El Mirage’s governmental 
funds reported combined ending fund balances of $75.8 million, an increase of $7.5 million or 11 
percent, compared to the prior fiscal year. The change is primarily due to City sales tax and 
intergovernmental revenue.  
 
Approximately 65 percent of the combined ending fund balances of $79.1 million, or $49.6 million, 
constitutes unassigned fund balance which is available for new spending at the government’s 
discretion.  The $49.6 million combined unassigned fund balance includes $11.0 million 
established as a General Fund reserve.  The remaining combined fund balance is non-spendable, 
restricted, committed or assigned in accordance with GASB 54. 
 
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of El Mirage.  At the end of the current 
fiscal year, unassigned fund balance in the General Fund was $49.6 million, while total General 
Fund balance was $49.6 million.  As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be useful 
to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total General Fund 
expenditures.  The General Fund unassigned fund balance represents 164 percent of total 
General Fund expenditures while total fund balance represents 164 percent of the same amount.  
During the year the City of El Mirage’s General Fund balance increased by $6.3 million. This 
increase in fund balance is primarily attributable to increased City sales tax and Intergovernmental 
revenue.  
 
The Special Projects (Special Revenue) Fund has a total fund balance of $5.0 million, all of which 
is restricted for special projects and grants per state and federal directives.   
 
The Streets (Capital Projects) Fund has a total fund balance of $17.7 million, an increase of $2.9 
million from the prior year, all of which is assigned for road and street construction and 
improvements.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights 
Tax revenues have a positive variance of $2.8 million due to stronger than budgeted City sales 
tax collections and the recording of a 13th period of revenue.  Intergovernmental revenues had a 
positive variance of $0.9 million, due to increased tax collections statewide and an 
accommodative money supply.  Total revenues have a positive variance of 19 percent or $5.2 
million.  General Fund expenditures were $30.3 million or 12 percent less than budgeted with the 
most significant positive variances in the following areas: 
•
In the General Government category, total spending was $2.3 million, or 17 percent, less
than budget.  Most notable in this category was Non-departmental spending $1.4 million
less than budget due to Personnel savings.
•
Capital Outlay spending variance was $1.2 million, or 27 percent less than budget as major
capital projects were under construction but not completed.

The Arizona Constitution and State Statues limit a municipality’s bonded debt capacity to certain 
percentages of its net full cash assessed valuation and by the type of project to be constructed 
with general obligation (GO) bonds.  For projects involving water, wastewater, artificial lighting, 
parks, open space, recreational facility improvements, streets, public safety, and fire and 
emergency facilities, the City can issue GO bonds up to 20 percent of its net full cash assessed 
valuation.  For any other general-purpose improvements, the City may issue bonds up to 6 percent 
of its net full cash assessed valuation. The City’s debt limit at year-end was $16.5 million in the 6 
percent capacity and $55.0 million in the 20 percent capacity.  The City has $0.2 million of G.O. 
debt applicable to the 6 percent limit and $17.7 million of debt applicable to the 20 percent limit.

CITY OF EL MIRAGE, ARIZONA 
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES 
IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUND TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES 
Year Ended June 30, 2022 
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
7,470,251
$  
  
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.  However,
in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over 
their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.  
This is the difference between depreciation expense and capital outlay
 in the current period.
Capital outlay
5,620,566
$  
  
Depreciation expense
(3,600,201)
         
2,020,365
 
The effect of miscellaneous transactions involving capital asset is to 
decrease net position. 
Transfer of capital assets 
(854,351)
 
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.
21,976
 
City pension/OPEB contributions are reported as expenditures in the governmental
governmental funds when made. However, they are reported as deferred
outflows of resources in the Statement of Net Position because the reported
net position liability is measured a year before the City's report date. 
Pension/OPEB expense, which is the change in the net pension liability 
adjusted for changes in deferred outflows and inflows of resources
related to pensions/OPEB, is reported in the Statement of Activities.
City pension/OPEB contributions
4,371,806
 
Pension/OPEB expense
(2,548,361)
         
1,823,445
 
Debt proceeds and premiums provide current financial resources to the 
governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in
 the Statement of Activities.
Issuance of refunding bonds
(11,575,000)
       
Issuance of premiums on refunding bonds
(1,213,761)
         
(12,788,761)
       
Repayment of long-term debt (e.g., bonds, leases) principal is an
expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces 
long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.
Principal paid on bonds
1,435,000
 
Payment to escrow agent
12,300,000
        
13,735,000
        
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.
Deferred amounts on refunding
(60,398)
 
Bond premiums
175,777
 
115,379
 
Compensated absences expenses reported in the statement of activities
do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are
not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CITY OF EL MIRAGE, ARIZONA 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Year Ended June 30, 2022 
NOTE 1 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
The financial statements of the City of El Mirage, Arizona have been prepared in conformity with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applied to 
government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted 
standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. 
Description of 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, when 
applicable, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally separate 
component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. 
Reporting entity 
The City is a municipal entity governed by an elected mayor and council. As required by 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these financial 
statements present the City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to 
be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in 
substance, part of the City’s operations and so data from these units are combined with data of 
the City, the primary government. 
The financial reporting entity consists of a primary government and its component units. A 
component unit is a legally separate entity that must be included in the reporting entity in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The City is a primary government that 
has a separately elected governing body, is legally separate, and is fiscally independent of other 
state or local governments. Furthermore, component units combined with the City for financial 
statement presentation purposes, and the City, are not included in any other governmental 
reporting entity. Consequently, the City’s financial statements include the funds of those 
organizational entities for which its elected governing body is financially accountable. 
Basis of 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 City’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. 
38

CITY OF EL MIRAGE, ARIZONA 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Year Ended June 30, 2022 
NOTE 1 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide 
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the government’s water 
and wastewater functions and various other functions of the government such as transfers of 
capital assets between governmental funds and proprietary funds. Elimination of these charges 
would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. 
Basis of presentation – fund financial statements 
The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s funds, including its fiduciary 
funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category—governmental, 
proprietary, and fiduciary—are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major 
governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining 
governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. Major 
individual governmental and enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund 
financial statements. 
The City reports the following major governmental funds: 
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial 
resources of the general government, except for those accounted for in another fund. 
The Special Projects Fund is a special revenue fund that is used to account for the funding 
for various City special projects. 
The Streets (Capital Projects) Fund is a capital projects fund that is used to account for 
the City’s construction and acquisition of streets and street department facilities. 
The City reports the following major enterprise funds: 
The Water Fund accounts for the activities of pumping, treating and distribution of water. 
The Sewer Fund account for the activities of sewer collection and treatment. 
The Sanitation Fund is a nonmajor enterprise fund and it accounts for the collection of solid waste 
and related services.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Year Ended June 30, 2022 
NOTE 1 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 
During the course of operations the City has activity between funds for various purposes. Any 
residual balances outstanding at year end are reported as due from/to other funds and advances 
to/from other funds. While these balances are reported in fund financial statements, certain 
eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide financial statements. Balances 
between the funds included in governmental activities (i.e., the governmental and internal service 
funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the 
governmental activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds included in business-type 
activities (i.e., the enterprise funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as 
internal balances in the business-type activities column. 
Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between funds. In 
fund financial statements these amounts are reported at gross amounts as transfers in/out. While 
reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the 
government-wide financial statements. Transfers between the funds included in governmental 
activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the governmental 
activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds included in business-type activities are 
eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the business-type 
activities column. 
Measurement focus and basis of accounting 
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement 
focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being 
measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting 
indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements. 
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources 
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned 
and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash 
flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants 
and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by 
the provider have been met. 
The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources 
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as 
soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when 
they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the 
current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected 
within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when 
a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well 
as expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims and judgments, are recorded only 
when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in 
governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are 
reported as other financing sources.

NOTE 1 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 
 
Property taxes, sales taxes, state shared revenues, 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. Entitlements are recorded as revenues when all eligibility 
requirements are met, including any time requirements, and the amount is received during the 
period or within the availability period for this revenue source (within 60 days of year-end). 
Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have 
been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been met, and the amount is received 
during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source (within 60 days of year-
end). All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is 
received by the City. 
 
The proprietary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the 
accrual basis of accounting. 
 
Assets, liabilities, deferred outflows/inflows of resources, and net position/fund balance 
 
Deposits and investments 
 
Cash includes cash on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, 
deposits in other types of accounts or cash management pools that have the general 
characteristics of demand deposit accounts and short-term investments with original maturities of 
three months or less from the date of acquisition. The City's policy allows for the investment of 
funds in time certificates of deposit with federally insured depositories, investment in the state 
treasurer's pool, obligations of the U. S. Government and other investments as allowed by Arizona 
State Statutes. 
 
Nonparticipating interest-earning investment contracts are stated at cost. Money market 
investments and participating interest investment contracts with a remaining maturity of one year 
or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair 
value. The reported value of the state treasurer’s pool is the same as the fair value of the pools 
shares. 
 
Receivables and payables 
 
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at 
the end of the fiscal year are referred to as “Internal balances” in the Statement of Net Position 
and as “Due to” or “Due from” other funds in the fund financial statements. All trade accounts 
receivable in the General Fund and proprietary funds are shown net of an allowance for doubtful 
accounts.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 
Inventories and prepaid items 
The costs of governmental fund-type inventories are recorded as expenditures when purchased 
rather than when consumed. Inventories for the proprietary funds consist of water credits 
purchased and held for future consumption. Inventories of materials used in the repair of the 
distribution, collection and treatment systems and are not deemed material and have not been 
reported. 
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are 
recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost 
of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when 
purchased. 
Capital assets 
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, 
bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), including those that are leased by the City, are reported in 
the applicable governmental or business-type activity columns in the government-wide financial 
statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an individual cost of more than 
$5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Capitalized assets are recorded at cost 
if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated acquisition value 
at the date of donation. 
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially 
extend assets lives are not capitalized. General government infrastructure capital assets include 
only those assets acquired or constructed since July 1, 2003. 
Land and construction in progress are not depreciated. Depreciation for other property, plant, 
equipment, and infrastructure is computed using the straight-line method over the following 
estimated useful lives: 
Buildings and improvements 
10 to 50 years 
Machinery and equipment 
5 to 20 years 
Vehicles 
5 to 15 years 
Streets, sidewalks, and other infrastructure 
7 to 30 years 
Land improvements 
10 to 25 years 
Sewer plan 
20 to 50 years 
Sewer collection system 
15 to 25 years 
Water infrastructure 
10 years 
Intangible right-to-use lease assets are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful 
life of the underlying asset.

NOTE 1 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 
Deferred outflows/inflows of resources 
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position 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 future period(s) and so will 
not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. The City has two 
types of items that qualify for reporting in this category. It is the deferred amount on refunding and 
pension/OPEB related items reported on the government-wide and proprietary fund financial 
statements.  
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position 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 future period(s) and so will not 
be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has three types of 
items that qualify for reporting in this category. Lease related items that are reported both on the 
modified accrual basis of accounting and full accrual basis of accounting. Pension/OPEB related 
items reported on the full accrual basis of accounting on the government-wide and proprietary 
fund financial statements. Unavailable revenues are reported only in the governmental funds 
balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from grants and taxes. 
These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the 
amounts become available. 
Postemployment benefits 
For purposes of measuring the net pension and other postemployment benefits (OPEB) assets 
and liabilities, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to 
pensions and OPEB, and pension and OPEB expense, information about the plan’s fiduciary net 
position of the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) and the Arizona Public Safety Personnel 
Retirement System (PSPRS), and additions to/deductions from the plan’s fiduciary net position 
have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by ASRS and PSPRS. For this 
purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when 
due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. 
Net position flow assumption 
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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 
Fund balance flow assumptions 
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. 
Fund balance policies 
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any 
limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The City itself can establish 
limitations on the use of resources through either a commitment (committed fund balance) or an 
assignment (assigned fund balance). 
The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific 
purposes determined by a formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. 
The governing council is the highest level of decision-making authority for the City that can, by 
adoption of an ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, 
the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is taken (the 
adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation. 
Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the City for 
specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The council has 
authorized the City Manager to assign fund balance. The council may also assign fund balance 
as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and 
appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments 
generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be 
taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is 
essential to either remove or revise a commitment. 
Unassigned fund balance is a residual classification of the General Fund. This classification 
represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been 
restricted, committed, or assigned to a specific purpose within the General Fund. However, in 
governmental funds other than the General Fund, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes 
exceed the amounts that are restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be 
necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund.

Revenues and expenditures/expenses 
Program revenues 
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who 
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function 
or segment and 2) grants and contributions (including special assessments) that are restricted to 
meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. All taxes, 
including those dedicated for specific purposes, and other internally dedicated resources are 
reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. 
Property taxes 
Property tax revenues are recognized as revenues in the year collected or if collected within 60 
days thereafter unless they are prepaid. Maricopa County levies real property taxes on or before 
the third Monday in August, which become due and payable in two equal installments on October 
1 of the current year and March 1 of the subsequent year. Taxes become delinquent after the first 
business day of November and May, respectively. Interest attaches on installments after the 
delinquency date. The County also levies various personal property taxes during the year. A lien 
against property assessed attaches on the first day of January preceding the assessment and 
levy. 
Compensated absences 
The City’s employee vacation and sick leave policies generally provide for granting vacation and 
sick leave with pay. Vacation benefits vest at the employee’s current rate of pay. For governmental 
funds, amounts of vested or accumulated paid time off leave that is not expected to be liquidated 
with expendable available financial resources is reported as a liability in the government-wide 
statement of net position and as an expense in the government-wide statement of activities. No 
expenditures are reported for these amounts in the fund financial statements unless they have 
matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements. Vested or 
accumulated paid time off leave in the proprietary fund is recorded as an expense and a liability 
of that fund as the benefits accrue to the employees and are thus recorded in both the 
government-wide financial statements and the individual fund financial statements. 
Leases 
As lessee, the City recognizes lease liabilities with an initial, individual value of $25,000 or more. 
The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate to measure lease liabilities unless it can 
readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease. The City’s estimated incremental borrowing 
rate is based on the average interest rate of other financing instruments with similar terms and 
risks as those currently entered into by the City.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 
Leases (Continued) 
As lessor, the City recognizes lease receivables with an initial, individual value of $100,000 or 
more. If there is no stated rate in the lease contract (or if the stated rate is not the rate the City 
charges the lessee) and the implicit rate cannot be determined, the City uses its own estimated 
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to measure lease receivables. The City’s 
estimated incremental borrowing rate is calculated using the same method used on their lessee 
transactions above. 
Proprietary funds operating and nonoperating revenues and expenses 
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 water fund, wastewater fund, refuse fund, and internal service 
funds are charges to customers for sales and services. The water and wastewater funds also 
recognize as operating revenue the portion of tap fees intended to recover the cost of connecting 
new customers to the system. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds 
include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital 
assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating 
revenues and expenses. 
Tax abatements 
The City has not entered into any tax abatement agreements and the City is not aware of any tax 
abatement agreements that have been entered into by other governments that would reduce the 
City’s tax revenues. 
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 and liabilities 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.

Change in Accounting Principle 
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the City implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 
87, Leases, as amended, which establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the 
foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. As a result, 
the City’s financial statements have been modified to reflect the recognition of certain lease assets 
for leases that were previously classified as rental income and recognized as inflows of resources 
based on the contract payment provisions.  The City's current lessee obligations are insignificant 
to the financial statements and have not been further disclosed.

FINANCIAL 
STATEMENTS 
The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between total governmental fund 
balances and net position of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide 
statement of net position. This difference primarily results from the long-term economic focus of 
the statement of net position versus the current financial resources focus of the governmental 
fund balance sheets. The details of these differences are reported in the reconciliation page 
subsequent to the governmental funds balance sheet. 
The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance 
includes reconciliation between net changes in fund balances-total governmental funds and 
changes in net position of governmental activities as reported in the government-wide statement 
of activities. These differences are the result of converting from the current resources 
measurement focus and modified accrual basis for governmental fund statements to the 
economic resources measurement focus and full accrual basis used for government-wide 
statements. The details of these differences are reported in the reconciliation page subsequent 
to the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances.

Budgets and budgetary accounting 
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles 
for all governmental funds. All annual appropriations lapse at year end. The City Council follows 
these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements: 
1. In accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes, the City Manager submits a proposed
budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1 to the City Council. The
operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them for
the upcoming year.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comment.
3. Prior to the third Monday in August, the expenditure limitation for the City is legally
enacted through passage of a resolution. To ensure compliance with the expenditure
limitation, a uniform expenditure report must be filed with the State each year. This
report, issued under a separate cover, reconciles total City expenditures from the
audited financial statements to total expenditures for reporting in accordance with the
State’s uniform expenditure reporting system (A.R.S. §41-1279.07).
4. State law requires that, prior to April 1, the Economic Estimates Commission provide
the City with a final expenditure limit for the coming fiscal year.
5. Expenditures may not legally exceed the expenditure limitation of all fund types as a
whole. For management purposes, the City adopts a budget by department for the
General Fund and in total by fund for other funds. The City Council has adopted a
budget transfer policy and all amendments must be done in accordance with this
policy.
6. The City has adopted budgets in accordance with A.R.S. requirements and utilizes the
budgets as a management control device during the year for the General, Special
Revenue, Capital Projects, Debt Service, and Enterprise funds. The budgets are
prepared on essentially the same modified accrual basis of accounting used to record
actual revenues and expenditures.
The City is subject to the State of Arizona’s Spending Limitation Law for Towns and Cities. This 
law does not permit the City to spend more than budgeted expenses. The limitation is applied to 
the total of the combined funds. The City complied with this law during the year. Supplementary 
budgetary appropriations were made during the year ended June 30, 2022.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 
Deposits 
Custodial Credit Risk 
For deposits this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposit may not be 
returned to it. The City does not have a formal policy for custodial credit risk. At year end, the 
carrying amount of the City’s deposits was $4,298,457 and the bank balance was $4,790,914. 
The bank balance was fully covered by FDIC coverage or collateral held by the pledging financial 
institution in the City’s name.  
Investments 
The Arizona State Treasurer’s Office operates the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) with 
no regulatory oversight. The LGIP is available for investment of funds administered by any 
Arizona Public Treasurer. 
The LGIP is not registered with the SEC as an investment company. The State Board of 
Investments provides oversight for the State Treasurer’s investment pools. Deposits in the LGIP 
are not insured or otherwise guaranteed by the State of Arizona, and participants share 
proportionally in any realized gain or losses on investments. 
The provisions of State law (A.R.S. 35-323) govern the investment of funds in excess of $100,000. 
A.R.S. 35-323 allows for investment in certificates of deposit, interest bearing savings accounts, 
repurchase agreements with a maximum maturity of 180 days, pooled investment funds 
established by the State Treasurer, obligations guaranteed by the United States, bonds of the 
State of Arizona or other local municipalities, commercial paper of prime quality that is rated “P1” 
by Moody’s investors or “A1” by Standard and Poor’s rating service, and bonds, debentures or 
notes that are issued by corporations organized and doing business in the United States subject 
to certain restrictions. For investments of less than $100,000, procedures as specified by local 
ordinance or resolution must be followed.

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its 
obligations. The City’s policy for reducing its exposure to credit risk is to comply with State law 
(A.R.S. 35-323). A.R.S. 35-323 limits investment in commercial paper and corporate bonds to the 
top ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Standard & 
Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Services. 
Interest rate risk 
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an 
investment. The City’s policy for managing its exposure to fair value loss arising from increasing 
interest rates is to comply with the provisions of State law (A.R.S. 35- 323). A.R.S. 35-323 requires 
that the City’s investment portfolio maturities do not exceed five years from the time of purchase.

Fair value measurements 
As noted above, the City holds investments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. 
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. 
The Local Government Investment Pool, as listed above, is valued using quoted market prices 
(Level 2 inputs).

PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (Continued) 
Benefits provided – The ASRS provides retirement, health insurance premium supplement, long-

are calculated on the basis of age, average monthly compensation, and service credit as follows:

Final average salary is 
based on
Highest 36 consecutive months of last 
120 months
Highest 60 consecutive months of 
last 120 months
Retirement benefits for members who joined the ASRS prior to September 13, 2013, are subject 
to automatic cost-of-living adjustments based on excess investment earning. Members with a 
membership date on or after September 13, 2013, are not eligible for cost-of-living adjustments. 
Survivor benefits are payable upon a member's death. For retired members, the survivor benefit 
is determined by the retirement benefit option chosen. For all other members, the beneficiary is 
entitled to the member's account balance that includes the member's contributions and employer's 
contributions, plus interest earned. 
Health insurance premium benefits are available to retired or disabled members with 5 years of 
credited service. The benefits are payable only with respect to allowable health insurance 
premiums for which the member is responsible. For members with 10 or more years of service, 
benefits range from $100 per month to $260 per month depending on the age of the member and 
dependents. For members with 5 to 9 years of service, the benefits are the same dollar amounts 
as above multiplied by a vesting fraction based on completed years of service. 
Active members are eligible for a monthly long-term disability benefit equal to two-thirds of 
monthly earnings. Members receiving benefits continue to earn service credit up to their normal 
retirement dates. Members with long-term disability commencement dates after June 30, 1999, 
are limited to 30 years of service or the service on record as of the effective disability date if their 
service is greater than 30 years.

2022, statute required active ASRS members to contribute at the actuarially determined rate of 
12.41 percent (12.22 percent for retirement and 0.19 percent for long-term disability) of the 
members' annual covered payroll, and statute required the City to contribute at the actuarially 
determined rate of 12.41 percent (12.01 percent for retirement, 0.21 percent for health insurance 
premium benefit, and 0.19 percent for long-term disability) of the active members' annual covered 
payroll. In addition, the City was required by statute to contribute at the actuarially determined 
rate of 10.22 percent (10.13 percent for retirement and 0.09 percent for long-term disability) of 
annual covered payroll of retired members who worked for the City in positions that an employee 
who contributes to the ASRS would typically fill. 
The City's contributions to the pension, health insurance premium benefit, and long-term disability 
plans for the year ended June 30, 2022, were $952,196, $16,650, and $15,064, respectively. 
Liability – At June 30, 2022, the City reported the following asset and liabilities for its 
proportionate share of the ASRS' net pension/OPEB liability.

(Asset) Liability
Pension
7,716,861
 
Health insurance premium benefit
(284,578)
 
Long-term disability
12,076
 
The net asset and net liabilities were measured as of June 30, 2021. The total liability used to 
calculate the net asset and net liability was determined using update procedures to roll forward 
the total liability from an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2020, to the measurement date of June 
30, 2021. The total liabilities as of June 30, 2021, reflect changes in actuarial assumptions based 
on the results of an actuarial experience study for the 5-year period ended June 30, 2020, 
including decreasing the discount rate from 7.5 percent to 7.0 percent and changing the projected 
salary increases from 2.7-7.2 percent to 2.9-8.4 percent.  
The City's proportion of the net asset or net liability was based on the City's actual contributions 
to the plan relative to the total of all participating employers' contributions for the year ended June 
30, 2021.

PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (Continued) 
The long-term expected rate of return on ASRS plan investments was determined to be 7.0 
percent using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates 
of return (expected returns, net of plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each 
major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return 
by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and 
by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of 
return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Discount rate – At June 30, 2021, the discount rate used to measure the ASRS total 
pension/OPEB liability was 7.0 percent, which was a decrease of 0.5 from the discount rate used 
as of June 30, 2020. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed 
that contributions from participating employers will be made based on the actuarially determined 
rates based on the ASRS Board's funding policy, which establishes the contractually required rate 
under Arizona statute. Based on those assumptions, the plan's fiduciary net position was 
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. 
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of 
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension/OPEB liability. 
Sensitivity of the proportionate share of the net pension/OPEB (asset) liability to changes 
in the discount rate – The following table presents the City's proportionate share of the net 
pension/OPEB (asset) liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.0 percent, as well as what 
the City's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a 
discount rate that is 1 percentage point lower (6.0 percent) or 1 percentage point higher (8.0

Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) 
Plan description – City police and fire employees who are regularly assigned hazardous duty 
participate in the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS). The PSPRS administers 
agent and cost sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans and agent and cost-
sharing multiple-employer defined benefit health insurance premium benefit (OPEB) plans. A 
nine-member board known as the Board of Trustees and the participating local boards govern the 
PSPRS according to the provisions of A.R.S. Title 38, Chapter 5, Article 4. Employees who were 
PSPRS members before July 1, 2017, participate in the agent plans, and those who became 
PSPRS members on or after July 1, 2017, participate in the cost-sharing plans (PSPRS Tier 3 
Risk Pool), which are not further disclosed because of their relative insignificance to the City’s 
financial statements. 
The PSPRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and 
required supplementary information for PSPRS. The reports are available on the PSPRS website

actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on these assumptions, the

RISK MANAGEMENT 
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of 
assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters. 
The City’s insurance protection is provided by the Arizona Risk Retention Pool, of which the City 
is a participating member. The limit for basic coverage is $2,000,000 per occurrence on a claims 
made basis. Excess coverage is for an additional $8,000,000 per occurrence on a follow form, 
claims made basis. The aggregate limit is also $2,000,000. The Arizona Risk Retention Pool is 
structured such that member premiums are based on an actuarial review that will provide 
adequate reserves to allow the Pool to meet its expected financial obligations. The Pool has the 
authority to assess its members additional premiums should reserves and annual premiums be 
insufficient to meet the Pool’s obligations. No significant reduction in insurance coverage occurred 
during the year and no settlements exceeded insurance coverage during any of the past three 
fiscal years. 
The City is self-insured through the Arizona Metropolitan Trust (AzMT) for employee’s medical, 
dental, life and employee assistance program coverage (EAP). AzMT is a self-insured benefits 
pool established pursuant to A.R.S. 11-952 et. seq. that provides coverage for each of its member 
entities. The City pays a monthly premium to AzMT for the employee’s medical, dental, life and 
EAP coverage. AzMT reinsures through commercial companies for claims in excess of specified 
and aggregate amounts. 
The City is insured by Arizona Municipal Workers Compensation Pool for potential worker related 
accidents.

NOTES TO THE BUDGETARY COMPARISON SCHEDULES 
Year Ended June 30, 2022 
NOTE 1: 
BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING 
Arizona Revised Statutes requires the City to prepare and adopt a balanced budget annually for 
each governmental fund. The City Council must approve such operating budgets on or before the 
third Monday in July to allow sufficient time for the legal announcements and hearings required 
for the adoption of the property tax levy on the third Monday in August. Arizona Revised Statute 
prohibits expenditures or liabilities in excess of the amounts budgeted. Expenditures may not 
legally exceed appropriations at the department level. In certain circumstances, transfers of 
appropriations between departments or from contingency accounts to other departments may be 
made upon the City Councils approval. With the exceptions of the General Fund, each fund 
includes only one department. The City’s budget is prepared on a basis consistent with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE PENSION/OPEB PLAN SCHEDULE

NOTE 2: 
FACTORS THAT AFFECT TRENDS 
Arizona courts have ruled that provisions of a 2011 law that changed the mechanism for funding 
permanent pension benefit increases and increased employee pension contribution rates were 
unconstitutional or a breach of contract because those provisions apply to individuals who were 
members as of the law’s effective date. As a result, the PSPRS changed benefit terms to reflect 
the prior mechanism for funding permanent benefit increases for those members and revised 
actuarial assumptions to explicitly value future permanent benefit increases. PSPRS also reduced 
those members’ employee contribution rates. These changes are reflected in the plans’ pension 
liabilities for fiscal year 2015 (measurement date 2014) for members who were retired as of the 
law’s effective date and fiscal year 2018 (measurement date 2017) for members who retired or 
will retire after the law’s effective date. These changes also increased the PSPRS required 
pension contributions beginning in fiscal year 2019 for members who were retired as of the law’s 
effective date. These changes increased the PSPRS required contributions beginning in fiscal 
year 2020 to cover members who retired or will retire after the law’s effective date.
