CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br />For The Year Ended June 30, 2018 <br />I NOTE 1 -SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) <br />GASB Statement No. 85 -In March 2017, the GASB issued Statement No. 85, Omnibus 2017. The <br />objective of this Statement is to address practice issues that have been identified during implementation <br />and application of certain GASB Statements. This Statement addresses a variety of topics including issues <br />related to blending component units, goodwill, fair value measurement and application, and <br />postemployment benefits (pensions and other postemployment benefits [OPEB]). The requirements of <br />this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15. 2017. The City implemented <br />this statement in current year. See additional information in Note 14. <br />GASB Statement No. 86-In May 2017, the GASB issued Statement No. 86, Certain Debt Extinguishment <br />Issues. The primary objective of this Statement is to improve consistency in accounting and financial <br />reporting for in-substance defeasance of debt by providing guidance for transactions in which cash and <br />other monetary assets acquired with only existing resources-resources other than the proceeds of <br />refunding debt-are placed in an irrevocable trust for the sole purpose of extinguishing debt. This <br />Statement also improves accounting and financial reporting for prepaid insurance on debt that is <br />extinguished and notes to the financial statements for debt that is defeased in substance. The requirements <br />of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2017. This statement had no <br />impact on the City's financial statements. <br />I NOTE 2 -CASH AND INVESTMENTS <br />The City maintains a cash and investment pool, which includes cash balances and authorized investments <br />of all funds, which the Finance Director invests to enhance interest earnings. The pooled interest earned <br />is allocated to the funds based on average daily cash and investment balance in these funds. <br />A. Cash Deposits <br />The carrying amount of the City's cash deposits is $4,012,260 at June 30, 2018. Bank balances before <br />reconciling items were $4,901,047, at that date, the total amount of which was insured or collateralized with <br />securities held by the pledging financial institutions in the City's name as discussed below. <br />The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the <br />City's cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this <br />manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general <br />creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's name. <br />The fair value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California law also <br />allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% <br />of the City's total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements for cash deposits, which are <br />fully insured up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The City, however, has not <br />waived the collateralization requirements. <br />The City follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for funds required to be <br />held by fiscal agents under the provisions of bond indentures. Interest income earned on pooled cash and <br />investments is allocated on an accounting period basis to the various funds based on the period-end cash and <br />investment balances. Interest income from cash and investments with fiscal agents is credited directly to the <br />related fund. <br />52 517
