SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the CAFR for fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.
BACKGROUND
The City's independent auditor, Maze & Associates, has completed the audit of the City's financial statements and provided their auditor's reports for the year ended June 30, 2018. The Finance Department prepared the City's financial statements as part of its CAFR for the year ended June 30, 2018. The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) recommends the elements for the CAFR format. The CAFR and the related financial statements fully disclose the financial condition of the City, Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency, and other reporting units of the City.
Other financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018 are reviewed and prepared by the City's external auditor:
1. Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) - Measure B Funds
2. Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) - Measure BB Funds
3. Alameda County Vehicle Registration Fee - Measure F Funds
4. Transportation Development Act Article III Fund
5. Appropriations Limit Schedule and Independent Accountant's Report

The financial section includes the independent auditor's report, the general-purpose financial statements and related notes, and supplementary information.
