CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br />For The Year Ended June 30, 2019 <br />NOTE 1— SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) <br />N. Fair Value Measurements <br />Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an <br />orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City categorizes its fair <br />value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting <br />principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair <br />value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in <br />the market. <br />Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. <br />Level 2 inputs are inputs — other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for <br />an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. <br />Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. <br />If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair value <br />hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant <br />to the entire measurement. <br />O. Implementation of New Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Pronouncements <br />Management adopted the provisions of the following Governmental Accounting Standards Board <br />(GASB) Statements which became effective during the year ended June 30, 2019. <br />GASB Statement No. 88 — In April 2018, GASB issued Statement No. 88, Certain Disclosures Related to <br />Debt, including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements. This statement defines debt for purposes of <br />disclosure in notes to financial statements as a liability that arises from a contractual obligation to pay <br />cash ( or other assets that may be used in lieu of cash) in one of more payments to settle an amount that is <br />fixed at the date the contractual obligation is established. This Statement requires that additional essential <br />information related to debt be disclosed in notes to financial statements, including unused lines of credit; <br />assets pledged as collateral for the debt; and terms specified in debt agreements related to significant <br />events of default with finance -related consequences, significant termination events with finance -related <br />consequences, and significant subjective acceleration clauses. The requirements of this Statement are <br />effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2018. The City implemented this statement in <br />current year. See additional information in Notes 6 and 16. <br />GASB Statement No. 83 — In November 2016, GASB issued Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement <br />Obligations. This Statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain asset retirement <br />obligations (AROs). An ARO is a legally enforceable liability associated with the retirement of a tangible <br />capital asset. A government that has legal obligations to perform future asset retirement activities related <br />to its tangible capital assets should recognize a liability based on the guidance in this Statement. The <br />requirements of this statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2018. This <br />statement had no impact on the City's financial statements. <br />51 <br />
