Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards presents the activity of all federal financial assistance programs of the City of Shasta Lake, California (City). The City's reporting entity is defined in Note 1 to the City's basic financial statements. All federal awards received directly from federal agencies as well as federal awards passed through other goverment agencies are included on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the City.
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, is presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting for grants accounted for in the governmental fund types and the accrual basis of accounting for grants accounted for in the proprietary fund types, as described in the notes to the City financial statements. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowed or are limited as to reimbursements. In addition, the outstanding balance of prior years' loans that have significant continuing compliance requirements have been included in total federal expenditures.
The City has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The amounts reported in the accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards agree or can be reconciled with amounts reported in the related federal financial assistance reports.
The amounts reported in the accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards agree or can be reconciled with amounts reported in the City's basic financial statements.
When federal awards were received from a pass-through entity, the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards shows, if available, the idenfiying number assigned by the pass-through entity. When no identifying number is shown, the City determined that no identifying number is assigned for the program or the City was unable to obtain an identifying number from the pass-through entity.
The City participates in certain federal award programs that sponsor revolving loan programs, which are administered by the City. These programs require servicing arrangements with the City. The funds are returned to the programs upon repayment of the principal and interest. In accordance with Section 200.510 of the Uniform Guidance, the City has reported the outstanding balance of loans from previous years that have significant continuing compliance requirements as of June 30, 2025, along with the value of total outstanding and new loans made during the current year. The programs listed below had the following aggregate, federally funded loans outstanding at June 30, 2025, 14.228 Community Development Block Grants/State's Program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii balance at 07/01/2024 $408,806, balance at 06/30/2025 $407,806; 14.239 Home Investment Partnership Program balance at 07/01/2024 $2,208,167, balance at 06/30/2025 $2,208,167.

Finding Details

Name: Community Development Block Grants/State's Program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii, ASL#: 14.228; Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; Pass Through Entity: State Department of Housing and Community Development; Award No.: 21-CDBG-CV-TRIB; Year: 2024/2025; Compliance Requirement: Other; Criteria: 2CFR Section 200.302 (Financial Management) and 2 CFR Section 200.334 (Retention Requirements for Records) require that non-federal entities maintain documentation that adequately supports federal expenditures, including original invoices, receipts, and approvals demonstrating that costs were allowable, necessary, and reasonable. Condition: During our testing of 40 disbursements for the Community Development Block Grants/State's Program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii, we identified two instances (5% error rate) totaling $24.98 where the disbursement was not supported by an original vendor invoice or receipt. Cause: Controls were not consistently followed before processing payments. Effect: The lack of supporting documentation increases the risk that unauthorized, unallowable, or fraudulent expenditures could be charged to the federal program without detection. Questioned Cost: As a result, we are questioning costs of $24.98. Context: The sample was intended to be a systematically valid sample from a population of 556 transactions. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the management strengthen controls over disbursements by ensuring that no payment is processed wihtout a valid, itemized invoice thta has been approved by authorized personnel. Furthermore, all supporting docuemtnation should be attached to the payment voucher and retained for audit purposes. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Refer to separate Management's Corrective Action Plan for view of responsible officials and management's responses.
